Holder of Existing Warrants

 

Re: Inducement Offer to Exercise Warrants to Purchase Shares of Common Stock

 

Dear Holder:

 

NanoVibronix, Inc. (the “Company”) is pleased to offer to you the opportunity to exercise all of the warrants to purchase shares of common stock (“Shares”) issued to you on various dates as set forth on the signature page hereto (the “Existing Warrants”) currently held by you (the “Holder”). Certain of the Existing Warrants (the “Registered Existing Warrants”) and the Shares underlying the Registered Existing Warrants (“Registered Warrant Shares” and, together with the Shares underlying the non-registered Existing Warrants, the “Warrant Shares”) have been registered pursuant to a registration statement on Form S-3 (File No. 333-251264) and a registration statement on Form S-1 (File No. 333-218871 (the “Existing Registration Statements”)). The Existing Registration Statements are currently effective and, upon exercise of the Registered Existing Warrants pursuant to this letter agreement, will be effective for the issuance and sale of the Registered Warrant Shares. Capitalized terms not otherwise defined herein shall have the meanings set forth in the Existing Warrants.

 

In consideration for exercising in full all of the Existing Warrants held by you and set forth on the signature page hereto (the “Warrant Exercise”) at the Exercise Price of $1.165, the Company hereby offers to issue you or your designee a new warrant to purchase Shares (“New Warrant”) pursuant to Section 4(a)(2) of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (“Securities Act”), to purchase up to a number of Shares equal to 100% of the number of Warrant Shares issued pursuant to the Warrant Exercise hereunder, which New Warrant shall be substantially in the form of the Existing Warrants, as reflected in Exhibit A hereto, will be exercisable immediately, and have a term of exercise of seven (7) years, and an exercise price equal to $1.04. The original New Warrant certificate(s) will be delivered within five (5) Trading Days following the date hereof.

 

Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, in the event the Warrant Exercise would otherwise cause the Holder to exceed the beneficial ownership limitation of 9.99%, the Company shall only issue such number of Warrant Shares to the Holder that would not cause the Holder to exceed the maximum number of Warrant Shares permitted thereunder with the balance to be held in abeyance until notice from the Holder that the balance (or portion thereof) may be issued in compliance with such limitations, which abeyance shall be evidenced through the Existing Warrants which shall be deemed prepaid thereafter, and exercised pursuant to a Notice of Exercise in the Existing Warrant (provided no additional exercise price shall be due and payable).

 

Expressly subject to the paragraph immediately following this paragraph, Holder may accept this offer by signing this letter below, with such acceptance constituting Holder’s exercise in full of the Existing Warrants for an aggregate exercise price set forth on the Holder’s signature page hereto (the “Warrant Exercise Price”) on or before 4:00 p.m., Eastern Time, on January 21, 2021 (the “Execution Time”).

 

Holder represents and warrants that it is an “accredited investor” as defined in Rule 501 of the Securities Act and agrees that the New Warrants will contain restrictive legends when issued, and neither the New Warrants nor the Shares issuable upon exercise of the New Warrants will be registered under the Securities Act, except in the discretion of the Company. Additionally, the Company agrees to the representations, warranties and covenants set forth on Annex A attached hereto.

 

 
 

 

The Holder understands that the New Warrants and the Shares underlying New Warrants are not, and may never be, registered under the Securities Act, or the securities laws of any state and, accordingly, each certificate, if any, representing such securities shall bear a legend substantially similar to the following:

 

“THIS SECURITY HAS NOT BEEN REGISTERED WITH THE SECURITIES AND EXCHANGE COMMISSION OR THE SECURITIES COMMISSION OF ANY STATE IN RELIANCE UPON AN EXEMPTION FROM REGISTRATION UNDER THE SECURITIES ACT OF 1933, AS AMENDED (THE “SECURITIES ACT”), AND, ACCORDINGLY, MAY NOT BE OFFERED OR SOLD EXCEPT PURSUANT TO AN EFFECTIVE REGISTRATION STATEMENT UNDER THE SECURITIES ACT OR PURSUANT TO AN AVAILABLE EXEMPTION FROM, OR IN A TRANSACTION NOT SUBJECT TO, THE REGISTRATION REQUIREMENTS OF THE SECURITIES ACT AND IN ACCORDANCE WITH APPLICABLE STATE SECURITIES LAWS.”

 

Certificates evidencing the Shares underlying the New Warrants shall not contain any legend (including the legend set forth above), (i) while a registration statement covering the resale of such Shares is effective under the Securities Act, (ii) following any sale of such Shares pursuant to Rule 144 under the Securities Act, (iii) if such Shares are eligible for sale under Rule 144, without the requirement for the Company to be in compliance with the current public information required under Rule 144 as to such Shares and without volume or manner-of-sale restrictions, (iv) if such Shares may be sold under Rule 144 and the Company is then in compliance with the current public information required under Rule 144 as to such Shares, or (v) if such legend is not required under applicable requirements of the Securities Act (including judicial interpretations and pronouncements issued by the staff of the Commission and the earliest of clauses (i) through (v), the “Delegend Date”)). The Company shall cause its counsel to issue a legal opinion to the transfer agent promptly after the Delegend Date if required by the Company and/or the transfer agent to effect the removal of the legend hereunder, which opinion shall be in form and substance reasonably acceptable to the Holder. If such Shares may be sold under Rule 144 without the requirement for the Company to be in compliance with the current public information required under Rule 144 or if such legend is not otherwise required under applicable requirements of the Securities Act (including judicial interpretations and pronouncements issued by the staff of the Commission), then such Shares shall be issued free of all legends. The Company agrees that following the Delegend Date or at such time as such legend is no longer required under this Section, it will, no later than two (2) Trading Days following the delivery by the Holder to the Company or the transfer agent of a certificate representing the Shares underlying the New Warrants issued with a restrictive legend (such second Trading Day, the “Legend Removal Date”), deliver or cause to be delivered to the Holder a certificate representing such Shares that is free from all restrictive and other legends or, at the request of the Holder, shall credit the account of the Holder’s prime broker with the Depository Trust Company System as directed by the Holder.

 

In addition to the Holder’s other available remedies, the Company shall pay to a Holder, in cash, (i) as partial liquidated damages and not as a penalty, for each $1,000 of Shares issued upon any exercise of the New Warrants containing a legend (“Legended Shares”) (based on the VWAP of the Shares on the date such Legended Shares are submitted to the transfer agent) delivered for removal of the restrictive legend, $10 per Trading Day (increasing to $20 per Trading Day five (5) Trading Days after such damages have begun to accrue) for each Trading Day after the Legend Removal Date until such certificate is delivered without a legend and (ii) if the Company fails to (a) issue and deliver (or cause to be delivered) to the Holder by the Legend Removal Date a certificate representing the securities so delivered to the Company by the Holder that is free from all restrictive and other legends and (b) if, after the Legend Removal Date, the Holder purchases (in an open market transaction or otherwise) Shares to deliver in satisfaction of a sale by the Holder of all or any portion of the number of Shares, or a sale of a number of Shares equal to all or any portion of the number of Shares that the Holder anticipated receiving from the Company without any restrictive legend, then, an amount equal to the excess of the Holder’s total purchase price (including brokerage commissions and other out-of-pocket expenses, if any) for the Shares so purchased (including brokerage commissions and other out-of-pocket expenses, if any) over the product of (A) such number of Legended Shares that the Company was required to deliver to the Holder by the Legend Removal Date multiplied by (B) the lowest closing sale price of the Shares on any Trading Day during the period commencing on the date of the delivery by the Holder to the Company of the applicable Legended Shares (as the case may be) and ending on the date of such delivery and payment under this clause (ii).

 

 
 

 

If this offer is accepted and the transaction documents are executed by the Execution Time, then on or before 8:30 a.m., Eastern Time, on the Trading Day following the date hereof, the Company shall file a Report on Form 8-K with the Commission disclosing all material terms of the transactions contemplated hereunder. From and after the issuance of such Report on Form 8-K, the Company represents to you that it shall have publicly disclosed all material, non-public information delivered to you by the Company, or any of its respective officers, directors, employees or agents in connection with the transactions contemplated hereunder. In addition, effective upon the issuance of such Report on Form 8-K, the Company acknowledges and agrees that any and all confidentiality or similar obligations under any agreement, whether written or oral, between the Company, any of its Subsidiaries or any of their respective officers, directors, agents, employees or Affiliates on the one hand, and you and your Affiliates on the other hand, shall terminate. The Company represents, warrants and covenants that, upon acceptance of this offer, the Registered Warrant Shares underlying the Registered Existing Warrants shall be issued free of any legends or restrictions on resale by Holder.

 

No later than the 2nd Trading Day following the date hereof, the closing shall occur virtually. Settlement of the Shares underlying the Existing Warrants shall occur via “Delivery Versus Payment” (i.e., on the Closing Date, the Company shall issue the Shares registered in the Holders’ names and addresses. The Registered Warrant Shares will be delivered via DWAC to the accounts specified by the Holder and the Warrant Shares issued upon exercise of the non-registered Existing Warrants shall be issued in book-entry form via DRS and shall bear a restrictive legend similar to the one set forth above. Upon receipt of such Shares, payment therefor shall be made by the respective Holder (or its clearing firm) by wire transfer to the Company). The date of the closing of the exercise of the Original Warrants shall be referred to as the “Closing Date.”

 

The Company acknowledges and agrees that the obligations of the Holders under this letter agreement are several and not joint with the obligations of any other holder or any other holders of warrants to purchase Shares of the Company (each, an “Other Holder”) under any other agreement related to the exercise of such warrants (“Other Warrant Exercise Agreement”), and the Holder shall not be responsible in any way for the performance of the obligations of any Other Holder or under any such Other Warrant Exercise Agreement. Nothing contained in this letter agreement, and no action taken by the Holders pursuant hereto, shall be deemed to constitute the Holder and the Other Holders as a partnership, an association, a joint venture or any other kind of entity, or create a presumption that the Holder and the Other Holders are in any way acting in concert or as a group with respect to such obligations or the transactions contemplated by this letter agreement and the Company acknowledges that the Holder and the Other Holders are not acting in concert or as a group with respect to such obligations or the transactions contemplated by this letter agreement or any Other Warrant Exercise Agreement. The Company and the Holder confirm that the Holder has independently participated in the negotiation of the transactions contemplated hereby with the advice of its own counsel and advisors. The Holder shall be entitled to independently protect and enforce its rights, including, without limitation, the rights arising out of this letter agreement, and it shall not be necessary for any Other Holder to be joined as an additional party in any proceeding for such purpose.
