Exhibit 4.4

Agreement/Promissory Note

This Agreement/Promissory Note is entered into as of April 28, 2016. The parties to this Agreement are Jillian and Curtis Helmer (Lender) and Genelux Corporation (Borrower).

Lender hereby agrees to loan Borrower two million six hundred sixty thousand nine hundred twenty six dollars ($2,660,926). The funds for this loan have been made available by Lender’s refinancing of personal property, and are therefore subject to costs, fees, prepaid interest, and hold backs, totaling four hundred sixty-five thousand twenty-eight dollars ($465,028), making the actual net payment that will be wired to Genelux no later than May 1, 2016, two million one hundred ninety-five thousand eight hundred ninety-eight dollars ($2,195,898).

This loan is subject to the following terms and conditions:

 

1.

The loan will constitute senior debt of the borrower;

 

2.

Lender shall receive a warrant certificate for the purchase of 532,185 shares of Genelux common stock at three dollars ($3) per share, with an expiration date of May 1, 2026, in the form attached hereto as Exhibit “A”;

 

3.

This Note will bear interest at the rate of 11.513% per year on any unpaid principal balance. The first six months of interest is prepaid and nonrefundable;

 

4.

The entire Note, including accrued unpaid interest will be due and payable on May 1, 2018;

 

5.

On May 1, 2017, interest only shall be paid to Lender in the amount of twenty-five thousand five hundred thirty dollars ($25,530), with the same amount due on the first of each month thereafter until the Note is paid;

 

6.

Late payment (more than seven days past due) of any amounts due under this Agreement shall be 10% of the past due amount or fifty dollars ($50), whichever is greater. In the event of default on the loan, the interest rate shall increase by 6%;

 

7.

Except for prepaid interest referenced in paragraph 3, Borrower may prepay this Note in whole or in part, prior to maturity, without penalty;

 

8.

It is understood that the purpose of this loan is to pay off pressing, high priority obligations owed by Borrower – particularly, approximately one million five hundred thousand dollars ($1,500,000) ordered by the Delaware Chancery Court to be paid to Aladar Szalay for attorney fees and costs pursuant to Borrower’s indemnification policy. Beyond that obligation, funds from the loan may be applied to operating costs or other business related expenses and goals of Borrower, in the sole discretion of Genelux management;


9.

A further material consideration for this Agreement is that key management of Borrower (Genelux Corporation) remain in place throughout the life of the loan. Key management means the present CEO/President of Genelux (Tom Zindrick), the Director of Investor Relations (Melodee Newbold), the Chairman of the Board (James Tyree), and Vice-Chairman of the Board (George Vandeman). Lender reserves the right to call the loan and demand immediate repayment of the entire balance should key management change during the life of the loan, except in the event that the change in key management is due to a merger or acquisition approved by Genelux shareholders;

 

10.

Lender may, in its sole discretion, at any time during the life of the loan, convert part or all of the principle balance plus accrued unpaid interest into common stock at $2.26 per share. Should lender elect to convert under this paragraph, Lender will be entitled, in addition to the shares purchased, to a warrant for twenty-five percent (25%) of the purchased shares, exercisable at $3.00 per share for up to ten years from the date of purchase, so long as the amount converted is one million dollars or greater (in other words, if Lender converts $2.26 million of the loan into one million shares of common stock, Lender will receive a warrant for an addition 250,000 shares of common stock);

 

11.

This Agreement/Note shall be governed by the laws of the State of California;

 

12.

In the event of any dispute or legal action required to enforce the terms of this Agreement, the prevailing party shall be entitled to reasonable attorney fees;

 

13.

This Agreement/Note represents the entire agreement and understanding of the parties. No other oral or written representations have been made to induce the parties to enter into this Agreement. Any modifications or amendments to this Agreement/Promissory Note must be in writing, subscribed to by the parties.
