CONVERTIBLE PROMISSORY NOTE

 

$8,350,000.00

 

October 29, 2021

 

FOR VALUE RECEIVED, the undersigned, AMERICAN MEDICAL REIT INC., a Maryland corporation (the “Borrower”), hereby promises to pay to the order of ALSET INTERNATIONAL LIMITED., a Republic of Singapore limited company (together with its successors and permitted assigns, the “Lender”), in lawful money of the United States of America, without setoff and in immediately available funds, the principal sum of Eight Million, Three Hundred Fifty Thousand Dollars ($8,350,000.00) (“Note Principal”), together with interest thereon from the date of this Promissory Note (this “Note”). Said principal sum is due on demand, and the absence of any demand is due twenty-five (25) months from the date hereof (the “Maturity Date”). Interest on the outstanding balance of this Note shall accrue at a rate of eight percent (8.00%) per annum, and shall be payable in accordance with the terms of this Note.

 

1. Payment. The Borrower shall be entitled to prepay or repay all or any portion of this Note in cash upon thirty (30) days written notice to Lender, without premium or penalty. Payment of interest shall be made in cash quarterly in arrears commencing on the 29th day of January 2022, and continue on the 29th day of each April, July, October and January thereafter through the Maturity Date. Each payment shall be in the amount of the accrued, but unpaid, interest through the date immediately preceding the date such payment is due. If not sooner paid, the entire unpaid principal balance of this Note and all unpaid accrued interest shall be due and payable in full on the Maturity Date. All payments made by the Borrower shall be applied first, to any unpaid fees and expenses of the Lender, second, to accrued interest and third, to the outstanding principal of this Note.

 

2. Conversion of Note.

 

(a) Subject to and upon compliance with the provision of this Section 2, at the option of the Holder, at any time on or before the Maturity Date the unpaid principal and interest balance of the Note may be converted in whole or in part, into fully-paid and non-assessable shares of Common Stock, par value $0.001 per share, of the Company (the “Shares”) at variable conversion rate equal to $10.00 per share, except as otherwise adjusted below (the “Conversion Price”). The conversion date shall be the date that such Notice of Conversion is deemed delivered hereunder. Upon conversion of the entire principal balance, the principal represented thereby shall be canceled. Such conversion shall be effectuated by the Holder submitting to the Company a notice of conversion attached hereto as Exhibit A (the “Conversion Notice”). The Conversion Notice shall state the dollar amount thereof to be so converted and shall include or be accompanied by representations as to the Holder’s investment intent substantially similar to those contained in this Note. Shares issuable upon conversion of the Note shall be issued in the name of the Holder and shall be transferrable only in accordance with all of the terms and restrictions contained herein.

 

1

 

 

(b) Fractional Shares. No fractional shares or scrip representing fractional shares shall be issued upon the conversion of this Note. As to any fraction of a share which the Holder would otherwise be entitled to purchase upon such conversion, the Company shall at its election, either pay a cash adjustment in respect of such final fraction in an amount equal to such fraction multiplied by the Conversion Price or round up to the next whole share.

 

(c) Subdivision or Combination. Whenever the Company shall subdivide or combine the outstanding shares of Common Stock issuable upon conversion of this Note, the Conversion Price in effect immediately prior to such subdivision or combination shall be proportionately decreased in the case of subdivision or increased in the case of combination effective at the time of such subdivision or combination.

 

(d) Reclassification or Change. Whenever any reclassification or change of the outstanding shares of Common Stock shall occur (other than a change in par value, or from par value to no par, or from no par to par value, or as a result of a subdivision or combination), effective provision shall be made whereby the Holder shall have the right, at any time thereafter, to receive upon conversion of the Note the kind of stock, other securities or property receivable upon such reclassification by a holder of the number of share of Common Stock issuable upon conversion of this Note immediately prior to such reclassification. Thereafter, the rights of the parties hereto with respect to the adjustments of the amount of securities or other property obtainable upon conversion of this Note shall be appropriately continued and preserved, so as to afford as nearly as may be possible protection of the nature afforded by this subparagraph (e).

 

(e) Merger. If, prior to repayment of the obligations relevant hereto, or prior to conversion of this Note into equity in the Company, the Company shall be consolidated or merged with another company, or substantially all of its assets shall be sold to another company in exchange for stock with the view to distributing such stock to its shareholders, each share of stock into which this Note is convertible shall be replaced for the purposes hereof by a pro rata amount of the securities or property issuable or distributable, based upon percentage of the Company’s common stock which a Holder would have owned had there been a conversion herein after consummation of such merger, consolidation or sale and adequate provision to that effect shall be made at the time thereof. The Company will provide the Holder at least thirty (30) days prior written notice of any event described in this subsection (e).

 

3. Default and Remedies. If the Borrower shall default in the payment of any amount within five days after the due date thereof, and a subsequent five day cure period, then an “Event of Default” shall exist. Upon the occurrence of an Event of Default and during the continuation thereof, the Lender may declare this Note to be due and payable, and the Lender may exercise and shall have any and all rights and remedies available to it under applicable law and this Note or otherwise and may take any such action and exercise any such power as it may elect to enforce its rights and remedies under applicable law and this Note. No right or remedy herein conferred upon the Lender is intended to be exclusive of any other right or remedy contained herein, and every such right or remedy contained herein or now or hereafter existing at law or in equity or by statute, or otherwise may be exercised separately or in any combination.

 

4. Representations of the Lender. The Lender represents and warrants to the Borrower the following:

 

(a) Organization; Authority. The Lender is an entity duly organized, validly existing and in good standing under the laws of the jurisdiction of its organization with the requisite power and authority to enter into and to consummate the Note and otherwise to carry out its obligations hereunder and thereunder.

(b) Information. The Lender and its advisors, if any, have been furnished with all materials relating to the business, finances and operations of the Borrower and materials relating to the offer and issuance of the Note that have been requested by the Lender. The Lender and its advisors, if any, have been afforded the opportunity to ask questions of the Borrower. Neither such inquiries nor any other due diligence investigations conducted by the Lender or its advisors, if any, or its representatives shall modify, amend or affect the Lender’s right to rely on the Borrower’s representations and warranties contained herein. The Lender understands that its investment in the Note involves a high degree of risk. The Lender has sought such accounting, legal and tax advice as it has considered necessary to make an informed investment decision with respect to entering into the Note.

 

(c) Validity; Enforcement. This Note has been duly and validly authorized, executed and delivered on behalf of the Lender and shall constitute the legal, valid and binding obligations of the Lender enforceable against the Lender in accordance with their respective terms, except as such enforceability may be limited by general principles of equity or to applicable bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization, moratorium, liquidation and other similar laws relating to, or affecting generally, the enforcement of applicable creditors’ rights and remedies.

 

(d) No Conflicts. The execution, delivery and performance by the Lender of this Note and the consummation by the Lender of the transactions contemplated hereby and thereby will not (i) result in a violation of the organizational documents of the Lender, or (ii) conflict with, or constitute a default (or an event which with notice or lapse of time or both would become a default) under, or give to others any rights of termination, amendment, acceleration or cancellation of, any agreement, indenture or instrument to which the Lender is a party, or (iii) result in a violation of any law, rule, regulation, order, judgment or decree (including federal and state securities laws) applicable to the Lender, except in the case of clauses (ii) and (iii) above, for such conflicts, defaults, rights or violations which could not, individually or in the aggregate, reasonably be expected to have a material adverse effect on the ability of the Lender to perform its obligations hereunder.

 

(e) Experience of the Lender. The Lender, either alone or together with its representatives, has such knowledge, sophistication and experience in business and financial matters so as to be capable of evaluating the merits and risks of the prospective investment in the Note and the Borrower, and has so evaluated the merits and risks of such investment. The Lender is able to bear the economic risk of an investment in the Note and, at the present time, is able to afford a complete loss of such investment.

 

5. Borrower Representations. The Borrower represents and warrants to the Lender that:

 

(a) Organization and Qualification. The Borrower is duly organized and validly existing and in good standing under the laws of the jurisdiction in which it is formed, and has the requisite power and authority to carry on its business as now being conducted and as presently proposed to be conducted. The Borrower is duly qualified as a foreign entity to do business and is in good standing in every jurisdiction in which its ownership of property or the nature of the business conducted by it makes such qualification necessary, except to the extent that the failure to be so qualified or be in good standing would not reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect (as defined below). As used in this Agreement, “Material Adverse Effect” means any material adverse effect on (i) the business, properties, assets, liabilities, operations (including results thereof), condition (financial or otherwise) or prospects of the Borrower, (ii) the transactions contemplated hereby or any other agreements or instruments to be entered into in connection herewith or therewith or (iii) the authority or ability of the Borrower to perform any of their respective obligations under the Note.

(e) Consents. The Borrower is not required to obtain any consent from, authorization or order of, or make any filing or registration with (other than the potential filing with the SEC of any periodic report under the Borrower’s reporting obligations or a Form D and any other filings as may be required by any federal or state securities agencies or the filing of any registration statement pursuant to which the Lender shall have any registration rights as contemplated by the Warrant), any Governmental Entity (as defined below) or any regulatory or self-regulatory agency or any other Person in order for it to execute, deliver or perform any of its respective obligations under or contemplated by the Note, in each case, in accordance with the terms hereof or thereof. All consents, authorizations, orders, filings and registrations which the Borrower is required to obtain pursuant to the preceding sentence have been or will be obtained or effected on or prior to the execution of this Note, and the Borrower is not aware of any facts or circumstances which might prevent the Borrower from obtaining or effecting any of the registration, application or filings contemplated by the Note. “Governmental Entity” means any nation, state, county, city, town, village, district, or other political jurisdiction of any nature, federal, state, local, municipal, foreign, or other government, governmental or quasi-governmental authority of any nature (including any governmental agency, branch, department, official, or entity and any court or other tribunal), multi-national organization or body; or body exercising, or entitled to exercise, any administrative, executive, judicial, legislative, police, regulatory, or taxing authority or power of any nature or instrumentality of any of the foregoing, including any entity or enterprise owned or controlled by a government or a public international organization or any of the foregoing.

The Borrower is in violation of any judgment, decree or order or any statute, ordinance, rule or regulation applicable to the Borrower, and the Borrower will conduct its business in violation of any of the foregoing, except in all cases for possible violations which could not, individually or in the aggregate, have a Material Adverse Effect.
