At any point while any principal amount of the Loan remains outstanding, if the Company consummates a transaction in which it raises aggregate gross proceeds of at least $5,000,000 and which results in the Company being listed on a national securities exchange (a “Qualified Public Offering”), each Lender may, at its sole option convert up to one hundred percent (100%) of the outstanding principal amount of the Loan as of the consummation of such Qualified Public Offering (the “Conversion Debt”) into such number of securities at price per share equal to the greater of: (i) 80% of the price per share (or, if units are sold, the price per unit of securities) issued and sold by the Company in such Qualified Public Offering, and (ii) $4 per share (the “Conversion Price”); provided, however, that in the event that the price per share (or unit, as applicable) of securities issued in the Qualified Public Offering is below $5, an additional 10% of shares will be issued at the time of conversion. Additionally, upon the consummation of a Qualified Public Offering, all interest due and owing under the June 2019 Loan Agreement, as amended, shall be due in cash immediately.

 

 

 

 

2. Except as amended hereby, the terms and provisions of the Agreements shall remain in full force and effect, and the Agreements are in all respects ratified and confirmed. On and after the date of this Amendment, each reference in each of the Agreements to the “Agreement,” “hereinafter,” “herein,” “hereinafter,” “hereunder,” “hereof,” or words of like import shall mean and be a reference to such Agreement as amended by this Amendment.

 

This Amendment may be executed in one or more counterparts, each of which shall be deemed an original and all of which taken together shall constitute a single Amendment.
