Recitals
Whereas, the Company seeks to sell a maximum of $3,000,000 (or such higher amount as the Company’s Board of Directors shall determine) (the “Total Amount”) in Convertible Promissory Notes in the form annexed hereto as Exhibit B (each, a “Note” and collectively, the “Notes”) and, subject to Section 1.1 below, Warrants to purchase shares of the Company’s common stock as provided in the Note and in the form of warrant agreement annexed hereto as Exhibit C (each, a “Warrant” and collectively, the “Warrants”) pursuant to Section 4(a)(2) of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”), and Rule 506(b) of Regulation D (“Regulation D”) as promulgated under the Securities Act (the “Offering”);
Whereas, each Subscriber wishes to purchase a Note with the principal amount as set forth on such subscriber’s respective Signature Page to this Agreement; and
Now, Therefore, in consideration of the mutual covenants contained in this Agreement, and for other good and valuable consideration, the receipt and adequacy of which are hereby acknowledged, the Company and the Subscribers hereby agree as follows:
1. PURCHASE OF CONVERTIBLE PROMISSORY NOTES.
1.1 Subscription. Each Subscriber hereby subscribes (the “Subscription”) to purchase a Note in the amount set forth on such Subscriber’s respective signature page hereto (the “Subscription Amount”). This Subscription shall become effective when (a) it has been duly executed by the Subscriber, (b) this Agreement has been accepted and agreed to by the Company and (c) the Company has effectuated a Closing as set forth in Section 1.5 hereof. Each Subscriber shall be entitled to receive a Warrant as provided in such Subscriber’s Note.
The Notes and Warrants are being offered by the Company and Paulson Investment Company, LLC (the “Placement Agent”). The minimum purchase amount is $25,000, although the Company and Placement Agent may, in their discretion, accept subscriptions for a lesser amount. The Placement Agent will receive a cash commission equal to 12% of the gross proceeds from the sale of the Notes (the “Commission”). In addition to the Placement Agent’s Commission, the Company will issue 7-year warrants to the Placement Agent to purchase an amount of the Company’s common stock, par value $0.001 per share (“Common Stock”), equal to 15% of the gross proceeds from the sale of the Notes.

1.2 Payment for Subscription. Each Subscriber agrees that the Subscription Amount to the Company for the amount of the Subscriber’s Subscription is to be made upon submission of this Agreement in the form included in these Subscription Documents (as hereinafter defined) by check or by wire transfer to an account designated by the Company. In the event that the Company does not sell the Minimum Amount on or before July 31, 2020, which period may be extended by the Company, in its discretion to a date no later than a maximum of 90 days until the Total Amount is reached, the Company will refund all subscription funds to the Subscriber, without deduction, offset and/or interest accrued thereon, and the subscription documents. If the Company rejects a subscription, either in whole or in part (which decision is in their sole discretion), the rejected subscription funds or the rejected portion thereof will be returned promptly to the Subscriber without interest accrued thereon.
1.3 Deposit of Funds. The Company shall hold all funds in escrow until such time as it closes on the corresponding subscriptions. If the Company rejects a subscription, either in whole or in part (which decision is in their sole discretion), the rejected subscription funds or the rejected portion thereof will be returned promptly to the Subscriber without interest accrued thereon.
1.4 Terms and Conditions. The Company shall have the right to accept or reject a Subscription, in whole or in part, for any reason whatsoever, including, but not limited to, the belief of the Company that a Subscriber cannot bear the economic risk of an investment in the Company, is not capable of evaluating the merits and risks of an investment in the Company or is not an “Accredited Investor,” as such term is defined in Rule 501 of Regulation D promulgated under the Securities Act, or for no reason at all.
1.5 Closing. A closing may occur once a Subscription is received by the Company and additional closings under the Offering may take place from time to time as subscriptions are received by the Company.
(a) The closing of the Subscriptions for the Notes and Warrants shall occur in one or more closings (collectively, the “Closings” and each, without distinction, a “Closing”). Each Closing shall be held remotely by the electronic exchange of documents and funds, at 10:00 a.m. Eastern Time, or at such other time and by such means upon which the Company and the Subscribers purchasing the Notes at such Closing shall agree.
(b) The first such Closing (the “Initial Closing”) for an aggregate amount of at least $25,000 in Principal Amount of Notes (the “Minimum Amount”) shall take place on a date determined by the Company within 10 days of the date upon which the Company shall have received Subscriptions having an aggregate principal amount equal to the Minimum Amount. The Notes and Warrants issued at the Initial Closing shall be documented in a Schedule of Purchasers maintained by the Company (the “Schedule of Purchasers”).
(c) At any time after the Initial Closing, to the extent that (i) Subscribers already party to this Agreement and/or additional Subscribers agree by execution of a signature page hereto to purchase an aggregate amount of at least $25,000 in additional principal amount of Notes, up to a balance of the Total Amount, the Company shall, within 10 days thereafter, hold an additional Closing with respect to the purchase of such Notes (each, a “Subsequent Closing”); provided, however, that the aggregate purchase price of Notes issued at the Initial Closing and all Subsequent Closings may not exceed the Total Amount unless otherwise approved by the Company’s Board of Directors. Other than expressly provided above in this Section 1.5(c), there shall be no conditions precedent to a Subsequent Closing. Upon each Subsequent Closing, the Company shall amend the Schedule of Purchasers. The terms of the transactions consummated at each Subsequent Closing shall be identical to the terms of the transactions consummated at the Initial Closing, excepting the date of issuance of the Notes shall be the date of such Subsequent Closing. The Notes issued in each Subsequent Closing shall be issued to the Subscribers in the principal amount shown for each Subscriber with respect to such Subsequent Closing on the amended Schedule of Purchasers.

(d) At each Closing, the Company shall deliver to the Subscribers copies of the executed Notes for the Subscription Amount, and shall deliver to the Subscribers the original executed Notes as soon as recently practicable following the final Closing of the Offering.

2.4 Representations and Warranties by the Subscribers. Each Subscriber represents and warrants to the Company, as of the date hereof and as of each Closing, as follows:
(a) The Subscriber is acquiring the Notes and the Warrants for the Subscriber’s own account, as principal, for investment purposes only and not with any intention to resell, distribute or otherwise dispose of the Notes or Warrants, as the case may be, in whole or in part.
5
(b) The Subscriber has had an unrestricted opportunity to: (i) obtain information concerning the Offering, including the Notes, the Warrants, the Company and its proposed and existing business and assets; and (ii) ask questions of, and receive answers from the Company concerning the terms and conditions of the Offering and to obtain such additional information as may have been necessary to verify the accuracy of the information contained in the this Agreement or otherwise provided. Such Subscriber acknowledges receipt of copies of the SEC Reports (or access thereto via EDGAR). Neither such inquiries nor any other due diligence investigation conducted by such Subscriber shall modify, limit or otherwise affect such Subscriber’s right to rely on the Company’s representations and warranties contained in this Agreement.
(c) The Subscriber is an Accredited Investor, within the meaning of Rule 501 of Regulation D promulgated under the Securities Act, and has such knowledge and experience in financial and business matters that he is capable of evaluating the merits and risks of investing in the Company, and all information that the Subscriber has provided concerning the Subscriber, the Subscriber’s financial position and knowledge of financial and business matters is true, correct and complete. The Subscriber acknowledges and understands that the Company will rely on the information provided by the Subscriber in this Agreement and in the Subscriber Questionnaire annexed hereto as Exhibit A for purposes of complying with federal and applicable state securities laws.
(d) Except as otherwise disclosed in writing by the Subscriber to the Company, the Subscriber has not dealt with a Placement Agent in connection with the purchase of the Notes and agrees to indemnify and hold the Company and its officers and directors harmless from any claims for Placement Agent or fees in connection with the transactions contemplated herein.
(e) The Subscriber is not relying on the Company or any of its management, officers or employees with respect to any legal, investment or tax considerations involved in the purchase, ownership and disposition of Notes or Warrants. The Subscriber has relied solely on the advice of, or has consulted with, in regard to the legal, investment and tax considerations involved in the purchase, ownership and disposition of Notes and Warrants, the Subscriber’s own legal counsel, business and/or investment adviser, accountant and tax adviser.
(f) The Subscriber understands that the Notes and the Warrants, or the securities into which either of them may convert or be exercised for, cannot be sold, assigned, transferred, exchanged, hypothecated or pledged, or otherwise disposed of or encumbered except in accordance with the Securities Act or the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”), and that a market may never exist for the resale of any such securities. In addition, the Subscriber understands that the Notes, Warrants or the securities into which they may convert or be exercised for, have not been registered under the Securities Act, or under any applicable state securities or blue sky laws or the laws of any other jurisdiction, and cannot be resold unless they are so registered or unless an exemption from registration is available. The Subscriber understands that there is no current plan to register the Notes, Warrants or the securities into which they may convert or be exercised for.
6
(g) The Subscriber is willing and able to bear the economic and other risks of an investment in the Company for an indefinite period of time. The Subscriber has read and understands the provisions of this Agreement.

The Subscription Documents are valid and binding obligations of the Subscriber, enforceable against it in accordance with their terms, except as enforceability may be limited by applicable bankruptcy, insolvency, moratorium, reorganization or similar laws, from time to time in effect, which affect enforcement of creditors’ rights generally. If applicable, the execution, delivery and performance of the Subscription Documents to which it is a party have been duly authorized by all necessary action of the Subscriber. The execution, delivery and performance of the Subscription Documents and the performance of any transactions contemplated by the Subscription Documents will not: (i) violate, conflict with or result in a default (whether after the giving of notice, lapse of time or both) under any contract or obligation to which the Subscriber is a party or by which it or its assets are bound, or any provision of its organizational documents (if an entity), or cause the creation of any lien or encumbrance upon any of the assets of the Subscriber; (ii) violate, conflict with or result in a default (whether after the giving of notice, lapse of time or both) under, any provision of any law, regulation or rule, or any order of, or any restriction imposed by any court or other governmental agency applicable to the Subscriber; (iii) require from the Subscriber any notice to, declaration or filing with, or consent or approval of any governmental authority or other third party other than pursuant to federal or state securities or blue sky laws; or (iv) accelerate any obligation under, or give rise to a right of termination of, any agreement, permit, license or authorization to which the Subscriber is a party or by which it is bound.

The Subscriber hereby represents that neither the Subscriber nor any of its Rule 506(d) Related Parties is a “bad actor” within the meaning of Rule 506(d) promulgated under the Securities Act. For purposes of this Agreement, “Rule 506(d) Related Party” shall mean a person or entity covered by the “Bad Actor disqualification” provision of Rule 506(d) of the Securities Act.

3. COVENANTS OF THE SUBSCRIBERS.
3.1 Right of First Offer. In the event that a Subscriber shall elect to sell all or any portion of a Note or Warrant held by such Subscriber to any person or entity other than an Affiliate (as hereinafter defined), such Subscriber shall first give written notice thereof to the Company, which notice shall set forth the original principal amount of such Note and the Warrant to be sold and the sales price. For a period of 15 days after receipt of such notice, the Company shall have the right to purchase all or any portion of such Note and Warrant at the so specified sales price, exercisable by giving written notice thereof to such Subscriber within such 15-day period. In the event the Company fails to timely exercise such right, such Subscriber may, subject to Section 3.2 hereof, offer and sell such Note and Warrant at the same or a higher price for a period of 180 days after expiration of such 15-day time period. After expiration of such 180-day period, such Subscriber shall not re-offer any of such Note or Warrant without first allowing the Company to exercise the right herein granted.
3.2 Right of First Refusal. In the event that any Subscriber shall receive and accept a bona fide offer (each, an “Offer”) from any person or entity (other than an Affiliate (as hereinafter defined) or another original holder of Notes) to purchase all or any portion of the Notes or Warrants of such Subscriber, such Subscriber shall give written notice thereof to the Company, which notice shall be accompanied by a copy of such offer or a detailed description of the terms thereof (each, an “Offer Notice”). For a period of 15 days after receipt of the Offer Notice, the Company may elect to purchase the Notes or Warrants subject to the Offer on the same terms as are described in the Offer Notice by giving notice of such election to such Subscriber within such 15-day period. In the event the Company fails to timely exercise such right, the Subscriber may offer and sell such Notes or Warrants to the party delivering the Offer on the terms of such Offer.
For purposes of this Agreement, the term “Affiliate” shall mean: (a) for purposes of any Subscriber that is an individual, (i) the ancestors, descendants, spouse or private, tax-exempt foundation of such Subscriber, or (ii) a trust, partnership, limited liability company, custodianship or other fiduciary account for the benefit of such Subscriber and/or such private foundation, ancestors, descendants or spouse; (b) for purposes of any Subscriber that is not an individual, (i) any person controlled by, or under the control of, the Subscriber, or (ii) any member, stockholder, partner or other equity holder of such Subscriber that is an “accredited investor”, as that term is defined in Rule 501 of Regulation D, as promulgated under the Securities Act.
8
3.3 Injunctive Relief. Each Subscriber acknowledges and agrees that any breach of the covenants contained in this Section 3 shall constitute a material breach of this Agreement and that damages would be an inadequate remedy in the event of such breach. Accordingly, such Subscriber agrees that the Company shall be entitled to the remedy of specific performance in the event of any such breach and hereby consents to, and waives any right to contest, the imposition of any injunction by a court of competent jurisdiction requested by the Company to enforce specific performance of such covenants. Each Subscriber further agrees that should such Subscriber breach any of such covenants and force the Company to obtain an injunction to specifically enforce such covenants, such Subscriber shall reimburse the Company for all costs incurred by the Company in obtaining such injunction, including, without limitation, court costs and reasonable attorneys’ fees and disbursements, all promptly upon receipt of an invoice therefor.
3.4 Termination of Rights. The obligations of the Subscribers, and the rights of the Company, under this Section 3 shall terminate upon the effective date of a registration statement for a firmly underwritten initial public offering of the Company’s capital stock under the Securities Act.
4. MISCELLANEOUS.
4.1 Registration Rights. Subject at all times to the provisions of the Note, following the earlier of (i) the final Closing of the sales and issuance of the Notes, (ii) the final closing of a Qualified Financing, (iii) the maturity date of the Notes or (iv) the occurrence of a Strategic Transaction (as defined in the Notes), upon the terms set forth therein, the parties hereto will enter into a Registration Rights Agreement pursuant to which, among other things, the Company will agree to provide certain registration rights with respect to the shares underlying the Notes and Warrants under the Securities Act and the rules and regulations promulgated thereunder and applicable state securities laws
4.2 Indemnification.
(a) The Subscriber will, severally and not jointly with any other Subscribers, indemnify and hold harmless the Company and its officers, directors, members, shareholders, partners, representatives, employees and agents, successors and assigns against any losses, obligations, claims, damages, liabilities, contingencies, judgments, fines, penalties, charges, costs (including, without limitation, court costs, reasonable attorneys’ fees and costs of defense and investigation), amounts paid in settlement or expenses, joint or several (collectively, “Company Claims”), reasonably incurred in investigating, preparing or defending any action, claim, suit, inquiry, proceeding, investigation or appeal taken from the foregoing by or before any court or governmental, administrative or other regulatory agency, body or the SEC, whether pending or threatened, whether or not an indemnified party is or may be a party thereto, to which any of them may become subject insofar as such Company Claims (or actions or proceedings, whether commenced or threatened, in respect thereof): (i) arise out of or are based upon any untrue statement or untrue statement of a material fact made by the Subscriber and contained in this Agreement; or (ii) arise out of or are based upon any material breach by the Subscriber of any material representation, warranty, or agreement made by the Subscriber contained herein; provided, however, and notwithstanding anything to the contrary, in no event shall the liability of the Subscriber pursuant to this Section 4.2 exceed the amount of the Note that the Subscriber purchases pursuant to this Agreement.
