FOR VALUE RECEIVED, and subject to the terms and conditions set forth herein, DPW Holdings, Inc., a Delaware corporation (hereinafter referred to as “Maker” or the “Company”), hereby unconditionally promises to pay to [●] a Delaware limited partnership (and together with its successors and assigns, hereinafter referred to as “Holder”), in the manner hereinafter provided, the aggregate principal sum of $200,000 (subject to adjustment under Section 2), or, if less, the aggregate unpaid principal amount of all advances made from time to time by Holder to Maker pursuant to and in accordance with this Note, in immediately available funds and in lawful money of the United States of America, together with interest thereon, all in accordance with the provisions hereinafter specified. Capitalized terms not otherwise defined herein shall have the meanings set forth in the Securities Purchase and Exchange Agreement (“Purchase Agreement”) executed by the Maker and Holder on the issuance date of this Note.

 

1.           Advance. On the date hereof, Maker received an advance of the aggregate principal sum of $160,000 from Holder. Amounts advanced hereunder and repaid may not be reborrowed.

 

2.           Maturity Date. The entire unpaid principal amount of this Note, together with all accrued unpaid interest, shall be due and payable on November 28, 2020 (the “Maturity Date”) or, if earlier, the date on which this Note is declared due and payable pursuant to the terms of this Note, including without limitation as provided in Section 9 of this Note. Maker may extend the Maturity Date until May 28, 2021 (the “First Extension”) and thereafter, Maker may extend the Maturity Date until May 28, 2022 (the “Second Extension”) (the First Extension and the Second Extension, collectively, an “Extension”). Maker must provide Holder with at least 10 days’ notice of an Extension. Upon the First Extension, the principal shall increase to $240,000 and upon the Second Extension, the principal shall increase to $280,000.

 

3.           Accrual of Interest. No interest shall be due under this Note unless there is an Extension. During the First Extension period, if applicable, interest shall accrue and be computed on the principal amount outstanding from time to time under this Note until the same is repaid in full at a rate equal 12% per annum. During the Second Extension period, if applicable, interest shall accrue and be computed on the principal amount outstanding from time to time under this Note until the same is repaid in full at a rate equal 18% per annum. Interest shall be calculated hereunder on the basis of a 360-day year for the actual number of days elapsed.

Interest payable on this Note shall be paid on the Maturity Date in cash. During the continuance of an Event of Default, notwithstanding anything else to the contrary contained in this Note, interest payable on the outstanding principal hereunder shall bear interest at the then applicable interest rate set forth in the immediately preceding section plus 7% per annum; provided, however, that such rate shall be increased or decreased to reflect the maximum interest rate permitted under applicable law. Such interest shall be payable in cash upon demand.

 

5.           Conversion of Note. Beginning June 30, 2020, this Note shall be convertible into validly issued, fully paid and non-assessable shares (the “Conversion Shares”) of the Company’s common stock, par value $0.001 per share (the “Common Stock”), on the terms and conditions set forth in this Section 5.

 

(a)          Conversion Right. Provided that Exchange Approval has been obtained and subject to the provisions of this Section 5, at any time following the Issuance Date, the Holder shall be entitled to convert any portion of the outstanding and unpaid Conversion Amount (as defined below) into Conversion Shares in accordance with Section 5(b). The Company shall not issue any fraction of a Conversion Share upon any conversion. If the issuance would result in the issuance of a fraction of a share of Common Stock, the Company shall round such fraction of a share of Common Stock up to the nearest whole share. The Company shall pay any and all transfer, stamp, issuance and similar taxes, costs and expenses (including, without limitation, fees and expenses of the transfer agent that may be payable with respect to the issuance and delivery of Common Stock upon conversion of any Conversion Amount. 

 

(b)          Conversion Rate. The number of shares of Conversion Shares issuable upon exchange of any portion of the Conversion Amount shall be determined by dividing (x) the Conversion Amount with respect to such portion of the Note, by (y) the Conversion Price, subject to adjustment as described in Section 5(e) below.

 

(i)       “Conversion Amount” means the (x) portion of the Principal to be converted, prepaid or otherwise with respect to which this determination is being made and (y) all accrued and unpaid Interest with respect to such portion of the Principal amount, if any.

 

(ii)       “Conversion Price” means greater of: (x) 80% of the VWAP for the five trading days prior to the date of the Conversion Notice and (y) $0.30 (subject to any stock split, stock dividend, reverse stock split, stock combination or other similar transaction).

 

(iii)       “VWAP” means, for any date, the price determined by the first of the following clauses that applies: (a) if the Common Stock is then listed or quoted on a Trading Market, the daily volume weighted average price of the Common Stock for such date (or the nearest preceding date) on the Trading Market on which the Common Stock is then listed or quoted as reported by Bloomberg L.P. (based on a Trading Day from 9:30 a.m. (New York City time) to 4:02 p.m. (New York City time)), (b)  if OTCQB or OTCQX is not a Trading Market, the volume weighted average price of the Common Stock for such date (or the nearest preceding date) on OTCQB or OTCQX as applicable, (c) if the Common Stock is not then listed or quoted for trading on OTCQB or OTCQX and if prices for the Common Stock are then reported on the Pink Open Market (or a similar organization or agency succeeding to its functions of reporting prices), the most recent bid price per share of the Common Stock so reported, or (d) in all other cases, the fair market value of a share of Common Stock as determined by an independent appraiser selected in good faith by the Purchaser of a majority in interest of the Securities then outstanding and reasonably acceptable to the Company, the fees and expenses of which shall be paid by the Company.

(iv)        “Trading Day” means any day on which the Common Stock is traded on the principal securities exchange or securities market on which the Common Stock is then traded, provided that “Trading Day” shall not include any day on which the Common Stock is scheduled to trade on such exchange or market for less than 4.5 hours or any day that the Common Stock is suspended from trading during the final hour of trading on such exchange or market (or if such exchange or market does not designate in advance the closing time of trading on such exchange or market, then during the hour ending at 4:00:00 p.m., New York time) unless such day is otherwise designated as a Trading Day in writing by the Holder.

 

(c)          Reserved

 

(d)          Mechanics of Conversion.

 

(i)        Conversion. To convert any Conversion Amount into Conversion Shares on any date (a “Conversion Date”), the Holder shall deliver to the Company (whether via facsimile, electronic mail or otherwise), for receipt on or prior to 11:59 p.m., New York time, on such date, a copy of an executed notice of conversion in the form attached hereto as Exhibit I (the “Conversion Notice”). If required pursuant hereto, within two Trading Days following a conversion of this Note as aforesaid, the Holder shall surrender this Note to a nationally recognized overnight delivery service for delivery to the Company. On or before the first Trading Day following the date of receipt of a Conversion Notice, the Company shall transmit by facsimile or electronic mail an acknowledgment of confirmation and representation as to whether such Conversion Shares may then be resold pursuant to Rule 144 or an effective and available registration statement, of receipt of such Conversion Notice to the Holder and the Transfer Agent which confirmation shall constitute an instruction to the Transfer Agent to process such Conversion Notice in accordance with the terms herein. On or before the second Trading Day following the date on which the Company has received a Conversion Notice (or such earlier date as required pursuant to the Exchange Act or other applicable law, rule or regulation for the settlement of a trade initiated on the applicable Conversion Date of such shares of Common Stock issuable pursuant to such Conversion Notice) (the “Share Delivery Deadline”), the Company shall (1) provided that the Transfer Agent is participating in the DTC Fast Automated Securities Transfer Program, credit such aggregate number of shares of Common Stock to which the Holder shall be entitled pursuant to such conversion to the Holder’s or its designee’s balance account with DTC through its Deposit/Withdrawal at Custodian system or (2) if the Transfer Agent is not participating in the DTC Fast Automated Securities Transfer Program, upon the request of the Holder, issue and deliver (via reputable overnight courier) to the address as specified in the Conversion Notice, a certificate, registered in the name of the Holder or its designee, for the number of shares of Common Stock to which the Holder shall be entitled pursuant to such conversion.

(ii)       Company’s Failure to Timely Convert. If the Company shall fail, for any reason or for no reason, to credit to the Holder’s balance account with DTC within two Trading Days after the Company’s receipt of a Conversion Notice, such number of shares of Common Stock to which the Holder is entitled upon the Holder’s conversion of this Note (as the case may be) (a “Conversion Failure”), then the Holder, upon written notice to the Company, may void its Conversion Notice with respect to, and retain or have returned (as the case may be) any portion of the Note that has not been exchanged pursuant to such Conversion Notice, provided that the voiding of a Conversion Notice shall not affect the Company’s obligations to make any payments which have accrued prior to the date of such notice pursuant to this Section 5(f) or otherwise. In addition to the foregoing, if on or prior to the Share Delivery Deadline, the Company shall fail to credit the Holder’s or its designee’s balance account with DTC for the number of shares of Common Stock to which the Holder is entitled upon the Holder’s Conversion hereunder (as the case may be), and if on or after such Share Delivery Deadline the Holder purchases (in an open market transaction or otherwise) shares of Common Stock to deliver in satisfaction of a sale by the Holder or its designee of all or any portion of the number of shares of Common Stock, or a sale of a number of shares of Common Stock equal to all or any portion of the number of shares of Common Stock, issuable upon such Conversion that the Holder or its designee so anticipated receiving from the Company, then, in addition to all other remedies available to the Holder or its designee, the Company shall, within three Trading Days after receipt of the Holder’s or its designee’s written request, pay cash to the Holder or its designee, as applicable, in an amount equal to the Holder’s or its designee’s total purchase price (including brokerage commissions and other out-of-pocket expenses, if any) for the shares of Common Stock so purchased (including, without limitation, by any other Person in respect, or on behalf, of the Holder), at which point the Company’s obligation to so credit the Holder’s or its designee’s balance account with DTC for the number of shares of Common Stock to which the Holder is entitled upon the Holder’s exchange hereunder (as the case may be) (and to issue such shares of Common Stock) shall terminate to the extent of such shares of Common Stock so purchased.

 

(iii)       Book-Entry. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary set forth in this Section 5, following Conversion of any portion of this Note in accordance with the terms hereof, the Holder shall not be required to physically surrender any note, certificate or other instrument evidencing this Note to the Company unless (A) the full Conversion Amount represented by this Note is being converted (in which event this Note shall be delivered to the Company following Conversion thereof the Holder has provided the Company with prior written notice (which notice may be included in a Conversion Notice) requesting reissuance of a note, certificate or other instrument with respect to this Note and the Conversion Shares upon physical surrender of a certificate with respect to this Note. The Holder shall provide the Company with written partial releases relating to all Conversions of the Note. The Holder and the Company shall maintain records showing the amount of the Note converted, paid or adjusted (as the case may be) and the dates of such Conversions, payments or adjustments (as the case may be) or shall use such other method, reasonably satisfactory to the Holder and the Company, so as not to require physical surrender of any certificate with respect to the Note upon any Conversion until the Note being converted has been fully satisfied.

(iv)       Pro Rata Conversion; Disputes. In the event of a dispute as to the number of shares of Common Stock issuable to the Holder in connection with a Conversion of the Note or an adjustment to the number of Conversion Shares to be delivered following a Pricing Period, the Company shall issue to the Holder the number of shares of Common Stock not in dispute.

 

(e)       If the Company, at any time while this Note is outstanding: (i) pays a stock dividend or otherwise makes a distribution or distributions payable in shares of Common Stock on shares of Common Stock or any Common Stock Equivalents, (ii) subdivides outstanding shares of Common Stock into a larger number of shares, (iii) combines (including by way of a reverse stock split) outstanding shares of Common Stock into a smaller number of shares or (iv) issues, in the event of a reclassification of shares of the Common Stock, any shares of capital stock of the Company, then the Conversion Price shall be multiplied by a fraction of which the numerator shall be the number of shares of Common Stock (excluding any treasury shares of the Company) outstanding immediately before such event, and of which the denominator shall be the number of shares of Common Stock outstanding immediately after such event. Any adjustment made pursuant to this Section 5 shall become effective immediately after the record date for the determination of shareholders entitled to receive such dividend or distribution and shall become effective immediately after the effective date in the case of a subdivision, combination or re-classification.

 

6.           Manner and Application of Payments. All amounts payable in cash hereunder shall be payable to Holder by wire transfer of immediately available funds and in lawful money of the United States of America without set-off, deduction or counterclaim at such place as Holder may from time to time designate in writing to Maker. Payments hereunder shall be applied first to interest and then to principal outstanding hereunder, except that if Holder has incurred any cost or expense in connection with the enforcement or collection of the obligations of Maker hereunder, Holder shall have the option of applying any monies received from Maker to payment of such costs or expenses plus interest thereon before applying any of such monies to any interest or principal then due. If any payment of principal or interest under this Note shall be payable on a day other than a business day such payment shall be made on the next succeeding business day and interest shall be payable at the rate specified in this Note during such extension. The books and records of Holder shall be the best evidence of any amounts at any time owed under this Note (including but not limited to principal, interest and any fees owed hereunder) and shall be conclusive absent manifest error.

11.          Remedies; Cumulative Rights. In addition to the rights provided under the immediately preceding Section, Holder shall also have any other rights that Holder may have been afforded under any contract or agreement at any time, and any other rights that Holder may have pursuant to applicable law. No delay on the part of Holder in the exercise of any power or right under this Note or under any other instrument executed pursuant hereto shall operate as a waiver thereof, nor shall a single or partial exercise of any power or right preclude other or further exercise thereof or the exercise of any other power or right. No extension of time of the payment of this Note or any other modification, amendment or forbearance made by agreement with any person now or hereafter liable for the payment of this Note shall operate to release, discharge, modify, change or affect the liability of any co-borrower, endorser, guarantor or any other person with regard to this Note, either in part or in whole. No failure on the part of Holder or any holder hereof to exercise any right or remedy hereunder, whether before or after the occurrence of a default, shall constitute a waiver thereof, and no waiver of any past default shall constitute a waiver of any future default or of any other default.

12.          Attorneys’ Fees. Maker agrees to pay all costs and expenses of collection and enforcement of this Note when incurred, including Holder’s reasonable attorneys’ fees and legal and court costs, including any incurred on appeal or in connection with bankruptcy or insolvency, whether or not any lawsuit or proceeding is ever filed with respect hereto.

 

13.          Waivers. Except for the notices expressly required by the terms of this Note (which rights to notice are not waived by Maker), Maker, for itself and its successors and assigns, hereby forever waives presentment, protest and demand, notice of protest, demand, dishonor and non-payment of this Note, and all other notices in connection with the delivery, acceptance, performance, default or enforcement of the payment of this Note, and waives and renounces (to the extent allowed by law), all rights to the benefits of any statute of limitations and any moratorium, appraisement, and exemption now allowed or which may hereby be provided by any federal or state statute or decisions against the enforcement and collection of the obligations evidenced by this Note and any and all amendments, substitutions, extensions, renewals, increases, and modifications hereof. Maker expressly agrees that this Note may be extended or subordinated, by forbearance or otherwise, from time to time, without in any way affecting the liability of Maker. No consent or waiver by Holder with respect to any action or failure to act which without such consent or waiver would constitute a breach of any provision of this Note shall be valid or binding unless in writing signed by Holder and then only to the extent expressly specified therein. Neither the failure nor any delay in exercising any right, power or privilege under this Note, at law or equity, or otherwise available agreement, will operate as a waiver of such right, power or privilege and no single or partial exercise of any such right, power or privilege by Holder will preclude any other or further exercise of such right, power or privilege.

 

14.          Notices. All notices, offers, acceptance and any other acts under this Agreement (except payment) shall be in writing, and shall be sufficiently given if delivered to the addressees in person, by FedEx or similar receipted next day delivery, as follows::

If, from any circumstances whatsoever, fulfillment of any provision hereof shall involve transcending the limit of validity prescribed by law which a court of competent jurisdiction, in a final determination may deem applicable hereto, then ipso facto, the obligation to be fulfilled shall be reduced to the limit of such validity, and if under any circumstances Holder shall ever receive as interest an amount which would exceed the highest lawful rate, such amount which would be excessive interest shall be applied to reduction of the unpaid principal balance due hereunder and not to the payment of interest.
