WHEREAS, Pursuant to the terms and conditions of that certain Change of Control Agreement (Exhibit A herein) by and between the Company, HOLDER, and Jubilee, Jubilee intends to take control of HLLK and restructure the Company;

 

WHEREAS, as a result of Jubilee’s intended restructuring, the capitalization structure of the Company will be materially changed, and Jubilee shall then cause to issue to HOLDER 5% of the issued and outstanding common shares of the Company after the restructuring is completed (the “Stock Consideration” as defined by the Change of Control Agreement);

 

NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the premises and the representations, warranties, covenants and agreements contained in this Agreement and for other good and valuable consideration, the receipt and sufficiency of which are hereby acknowledged, the Parties hereto hereby agree as follows:

 

SECTION 1. Additional Issuances.

 

(a) At any time after the date of this Agreement, and running for a period of 18 months (“Term”), if the Company shall issue or propose to issue any additional shares of the Company’s common stock, par value, $0.001 per share (“Common Stock”), or warrants, options (excluding any options granted to employees of the Company in accordance with any employee plans, now or hereinafter in effect) or other rights or instruments of any kind convertible into or exercisable or exchangeable for shares of Common Stock (the “Additional Securities”), HOLDER shall be issued that number of additional shares of Common Stock necessary to maintain Holder’s 5% equity stake in the Company’s issued and outstanding Common Stock. Any issuance of Additional Securities made to HOLDER under this Section 1 shall be made by notice in writing (the “Issuance Notice”) at least 20 Business Days prior to the issuance of such Additional Securities. The Issuance Notice shall set forth (i) the number of Additional Securities proposed to be issued to any Person other than HOLDER and the terms of such Additional Securities, (ii) the consideration (or manner of determining the consideration), if any, for which such Additional Securities are proposed to be issued and the terms of payment, (iii) the number of Additional Securities to be issued to HOLDER in compliance with the provisions of this Section 1 and (iv) the proposed date of issuance of such Additional Securities. Not later than 5 Business Days after delivery of a Issuance Notice in accordance with the notice provisions hereof, HOLDER shall deliver a notification to the Company in writing whether it elects to accept all or any portion of the Additional Securities to be issued to HOLDER, pursuant to the Issuance Notice; provided however, that the failure of HOLDER to respond in writing within 5 Business Days shall be deemed a waiver and negative election by HOLDER to receive any of the Additional Securities offered by such Issuance Notice. If HOLDER elects to receive any such Additional Securities, the Additional Securities that it shall have elected to be issued shall be issued to HOLDER by the Company at the same time and on the same terms and conditions as the Additional Securities that are issued and sold to third parties. If, for any reason, the issuance of Additional Securities to third parties is not consummated, HOLDER’s right to its share of such issuance shall lapse, subject to HOLDER’s ongoing issuance rights with respect to issuances of Additional Securities at later dates or times.

 

 
 

 

(b) The Company represents and covenants to HOLDER that (i) upon issuance, all the shares of Additional Securities issued to HOLDER pursuant to this Section 1 shall be duly authorized, validly issued, fully paid and nonassessable and will be approved (if outstanding securities of the Company of the same type are at the time already approved) for quotation or listing on the principal trading market for the securities of the Company at the time of issuance, (ii) upon delivery of such shares, they shall be free and clear of all liens, claims and encumbrances (other than any restrictions imposed by applicable federal and state securities laws of any nature and shall not be subject to any preemptive right of any stockholder of the Company and (iii) this Section 1 does not and upon the issuance of such Additional Securities will not (a) violate or conflict with any provision of the Certificate of Incorporation or Bylaws of HLLK, each as amended then to date (b) conflict with or constitute a violation by HLLK of any applicable law (including the Florida Business Corporation Act), judgment, order, injunction, decree, rule, regulation or ruling of any governmental authority applicable to HLLK the enforcement of which would have a material adverse effect on HLLK or on HLLK’s ability to perform its obligations hereunder or the ability of HLLK to consummate issuance of the Additional Securities and (c) either alone or with the giving of notice or the passage of time, or both, modify, violate, conflict with, constitute grounds for termination of, or accelerate the performance required by, or result in a breach or default of the terms, conditions or provisions of, or constitute a default under any contract, agreement, note bond, mortgage, indenture, deed of trust, license, franchise, permit, commitment, waiver, exemption, order, obligation, lease, sublease, undertaking, agreement, offer or other instrument, which violation, conflict, termination, acceleration, breach or default would have a material adverse effect on HLLK or on the ability of HLLK to perform its obligations hereunder or the ability of HLLK to issue such shares.

 

(c) As used herein, the term “Business Day” shall mean any day other than a Saturday, Sunday, U.S. national legal holiday, or a legal holiday under the laws of the State of New York, and the term “Person” shall mean an individual, corporation, partnership, joint venture, joint stock company, association, trust, business trust, unincorporated organization, government authority, or any other entity of whatever nature.

All such adjustments shall be made so as to equitably adjust HOLDER’s rights hereunder.

 

 
 

 

SECTION 2. Clawback Provision for Anti-Dilution Shares.

 

(a) Clawback of Anti-Dilution Shares.

(b) Clawback Trigger and Scope. If, by the end of the Target Capital Raise Period, the Company has not raised a minimum of $1,500,000 in gross proceeds from the Offering, Section 1 of this Agreement shall be deemed null and void and the Company shall have the right to claw back 100% of the Anti-Dilution Shares that have been issued to the Holder.

 

(c) Return of Clawed Back Shares. Upon the Company’s determination that the clawback has been triggered, the Holder agrees to return to the Company the applicable number of Anti-Dilution Shares, without consideration, immediately upon written notice from the Company of the clawback determination.

 

(d) Adjustment to Share Register. Upon receipt of the clawed back Anti-Dilution Shares, the Company shall make any necessary adjustments to its share register and cancel the returned shares. In the event the Holder fails to return the shares as required, the Company may take any action reasonably necessary to effect the cancellation of the clawed back shares, including without limitation, adjusting the share ledger directly.

 

(e) No Waiver of Other Remedies. This clawback provision does not limit or waive any other remedies that the Company may have in the event of a failure by the Investor to comply with the return of shares, including legal or equitable remedies.
