8% SENIOR SUBORDINATED SECURED CONVERTIBLE PROMISSORY NOTE
Perfect Moment Ltd.
DUE December 15, 2022
Original Issue Date: __________ ____, 2022 | US$[______________] |
This Senior Subordinated Secured Convertible Promissory Note, one of a series of duly authorized and issued senior subordinated secured convertible promissory notes of Perfect Moment Ltd., a Delaware corporation (the “Company”), designated its 8% Senior Subordinated Secured Convertible Promissory Notes (the “Notes”), is issued to [___________________] (together with its permitted successors and assigns, the “Holder”) in accordance with exemptions from registration under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”), pursuant to that certain Securities Purchase Agreement relating to the Notes (the “Purchase Agreement”), by and among the Company, the Holder and certain other holders of Notes (collectively with the Holder, the “Holders”). Capitalized terms not otherwise defined herein shall have the meanings ascribed to them in the Purchase Agreement. “Dollar” and “$” mean the lawful currency of the United States of America.
Article I.
Section 1.01 Principal and Interest. (a) FOR VALUE RECEIVED, the Company hereby promises to pay to the Holder, in lawful money of the United States of America and in immediately available funds the principal sum of US$[______________] on December 15, 2022 (the “Maturity Date”).
(b) The Company further promises to pay interest in cash on the unpaid principal amount of this Note at a rate per annum equal to eight percent (8%), commencing to accrue on the date hereof and payable on the Maturity Date or earlier prepayment or conversion as provided herein. Interest will be computed on the basis of a 360-day year of twelve 30-day months for the actual number of days elapsed.
(c) The Company may not prepay all or any portion of the principal amount of this Note.
Section 1.02 Absolute Obligation; Ranking. Except as expressly provided herein, no provision of this Note shall alter or impair the obligation of the Company, which is absolute and unconditional, to pay the principal of, and interest (and liquidated damages, if any) on, this Note at the time, place, and rate, and in the coin or currency, herein prescribed. This Note is a direct debt obligation of the Company. This Note ranks (a) subordinate to the indebtedness specified in Section 3.01(a)(ii) and (iii) below, and (b) pari passu with (i) all other Notes now or hereinafter issued pursuant to the Purchase Agreement and (ii) the indebtedness specified in Section 3.01(a)(iv), (vi) and (vii) below, unless such indebtedness by its terms is subordinate to this Note.
Section 1.03 Mandatory Conversion. (a) Upon the closing of a Qualified IPO (as defined below), all of the outstanding principal amount of this Note, together with all accrued but unpaid interest on this Note, shall automatically, without the necessity of any action by the Holder or the Company, be converted into shares of Common Stock of the Company (such shares of Common Stock issued upon conversion of the Notes, the “Conversion Shares”), at a conversion price equal to 80% of the offering price to the public in the Qualified IPO (the “Conversion Price”). Upon such conversion of this Note, the Holder hereby agrees to execute and deliver to the Company, and shall be bound upon such conversion by the obligations in, a lock-up agreement, if required by the managing underwriter for the Qualified IPO, provided that such lock-up agreement is on substantially the same terms as those entered into by beneficial owners of Common Stock similarly situated to the Holder.
(b) “Qualified IPO” shall mean a firm commitment underwritten public offering by the Company of shares of its Common Stock with aggregate gross proceeds (before deducting underwriting discounts, fees and expenses) of at least $8,000,000 and simultaneous listing of the Common Stock on the New York Stock Exchange, NYSE American or The Nasdaq Stock Market (such exchange on which the Common Stock is listed, the “Exchange”).
2
(c) No fraction of shares or scrip representing fractions of shares will be issued on conversion. In lieu of the Company issuing any fractional shares to the Holder upon the conversion of this Note, the Company shall pay to the Holder an amount equal to the product obtained by multiplying the Conversion Price by the fraction of a share not issued pursuant to the previous sentence. Upon conversion of this Note in full and the payment of the amounts specified in this paragraph, the Company shall be forever released from all its obligations and liabilities under this Note and this Note shall be deemed of no further force or effect, whether or not the original of this Note has been delivered to the Company for cancellation.
(d) The date upon which the conversion shall be effective (the “Conversion Date”) shall be deemed to be the date on which the Qualified IPO closes. The number of Conversion Shares issuable upon conversion of this Note shall be equal to the quotient obtained by dividing (x) the outstanding principal amount of this Note and accrued but unpaid interest hereon on the Conversion Date by (y) the Conversion Price. The calculation by the Company of the number of Conversion Shares to be received by the Holder upon conversion hereof, and of the applicable Conversion Price, shall be conclusive absent manifest error.
Section 1.04 Maximum Conversion. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Note, this Note shall not be convertible by the Holder hereof to the extent (but only to the extent) that such conversion would cause the Holder and its affiliates (if they are not, prior to such conversion, already beneficial owners of greater than 9.99% (the “Maximum Percentage”) of the Company’s outstanding Common Stock) to beneficially own in excess of the Maximum Percentage of the Company’s outstanding Common Stock; provided, however, that the Holder may reduce the Maximum Percentage or waive the limitation imposed by this subsection, and/or increase the Maximum Percentage to some other amount, upon at least sixty-one (61) days written notice to the Company prior to the Conversion Date. For the purposes of this Section, beneficial ownership and all determinations and calculations (including, without limitation, with respect to calculations of percentage ownership) shall be determined in accordance with Section 13(d) of the Exchange Act and the rules and regulations promulgated thereunder. The limitations contained in this paragraph shall apply to a successor Holder of this Note.
Section 1.05 Mechanics of Conversion.
(a) Delivery of Certificate Upon Conversion. Not later than two (2) Trading Days (as defined below) after the Conversion Date (the “Share Delivery Date”), the Company shall deliver, or cause to be delivered, to the Holder a certificate or certificates representing the Conversion Shares which shall be free of restrictive legends and trading restrictions, representing the number of Conversion Shares being acquired upon the conversion of this Note. “Trading Day” means a day on which the Exchange is open for business. The Company shall use its best efforts to deliver any certificate or certificates required to be delivered by the Company under this Section electronically through the Depository Trust Company or another established clearing corporation performing similar functions.
3
(b) Obligation Absolute; Partial Liquidated Damages. The Company’s obligations to issue and deliver the Conversion Shares upon conversion of this Note in accordance with the terms hereof are absolute and unconditional, irrespective of any action or inaction by the Holder to enforce the same, any waiver or consent with respect to any provision hereof, the recovery of any judgment against any person or any action to enforce the same, or any setoff, counterclaim, recoupment, limitation or termination, or any breach or alleged breach by the Holder or any other person of any obligation to the Company or any violation or alleged violation of law by the Holder or any other person, and irrespective of any other circumstance which might otherwise limit such obligation of the Company to the Holder in connection with the issuance of such Conversion Shares; provided, however, that such delivery shall not operate as a waiver by the Company of any such action the Company may have against the Holder. The Company may not refuse conversion based on any claim that the Holder or anyone associated or affiliated with the Holder has been engaged in any violation of law, agreement or for any other reason, unless an injunction from a court, on notice to Holder, restraining and or enjoining conversion of all or part of this Note shall have been sought and obtained, and the Company posts a surety bond for the benefit of the Holder in the amount of 130% of the outstanding principal amount of this Note, which is subject to the injunction, which bond shall remain in effect until the completion of arbitration/litigation of the underlying dispute and the proceeds of which shall be payable to the Holder to the extent it obtains judgment. In the absence of such injunction, the Company shall issue Conversion Shares. If the Company fails for any reason to deliver to the Holder such certificate or certificates pursuant to Section 1.05(a) by the fifth (5th) Trading Day after the Conversion Date, the Company shall pay to the Holder, in cash, as liquidated damages and not as a penalty, for each $1,000 of principal amount being converted, $10 per Trading Day (increasing to $20 per Trading Day on the seventh (7th) Trading Day after such liquidated damages begin to accrue) for each Trading Day after such fifth (4th) Trading Day until such certificates are delivered. Nothing herein shall limit a Holder’s right to pursue actual damages or declare an Event of Default pursuant to Section 2.01(b) hereof for the Company’s failure to deliver Conversion Shares within the period specified herein and the Holder shall have the right to pursue all remedies available to it hereunder, at law or in equity including, without limitation, a decree of specific performance and/or injunctive relief. The exercise of any such rights shall not prohibit the Holder from seeking to enforce damages pursuant to any other Section hereof or under applicable law.
(c) Compensation for Buy-In on Failure to Timely Deliver Certificates upon Conversion. In addition to any other rights available to the Holder, if the Company fails for any reason to deliver to the Holder such certificate or certificates by the Share Delivery Date, and if after such Share Delivery Date the Holder is required by its brokerage firm to purchase (in an open market transaction or otherwise), or the Holder’s brokerage firm otherwise purchases, shares of Common Stock to deliver in satisfaction of a sale by the Holder of the Conversion Shares which the Holder was entitled to receive upon the conversion relating to such Share Delivery Date (a “Buy-In”), then the Company shall (A) pay in cash to the Holder (in addition to any other remedies available to or elected by the Holder), if any, the amount by which (x) the Holder’s total purchase price (including any brokerage commissions) for the Common Stock so purchased exceeds (y) the product of (1) the aggregate number of shares of Common Stock that the Holder was entitled to receive from the conversion at issue multiplied by (2) the actual per share sale price at which the sell order giving rise to such purchase obligation was executed (including any brokerage commissions) and (B) at the option of the Holder, either reissue (if surrendered) this Note in a principal amount equal to the principal amount of the attempted conversion (in which case such conversion shall be deemed rescinded) or deliver to the Holder the number of shares of Common Stock that would have been issued if the Company had timely complied with its delivery requirements under Section 4(d)(ii). For example, if the Holder purchases Common Stock having a total purchase price of $11,000 to cover a Buy-In with respect to an attempted conversion of this Note with respect to which the actual sale price of the Conversion Shares (including any brokerage commissions) giving rise to such purchase obligation was a total of $10,000 under clause (A) of the immediately preceding sentence, the Company shall be required to pay the Holder $1,000. The Holder shall provide the Company written notice indicating the amounts payable to the Holder in respect of the Buy-In and, upon request of the Company, evidence of the amount of such loss. Nothing herein shall limit a Holder’s right to pursue any other remedies available to it hereunder, at law or in equity including, without limitation, a decree of specific performance and/or injunctive relief with respect to the Company’s failure to timely deliver certificates representing shares of Common Stock upon conversion of this Note as required pursuant to the terms hereof.
(d) Duly Authorized, etc.. The Company covenants that all Conversion Shares that shall be issuable shall, upon issue, be duly authorized, validly issued, fully paid and nonassessable.
4
(e) Transfer Taxes and Expenses. The issuance of certificates for shares of the Common Stock on conversion of this Note shall be made without charge to the Holder hereof for any documentary stamp or similar taxes that may be payable in respect of the issue or delivery of such certificates, provided that, the Company shall not be required to pay any tax that may be payable in respect of any transfer involved in the issuance and delivery of any such certificate upon conversion in a name other than that of the Holder of this Note so converted and the Company shall not be required to issue or deliver such certificates unless or until the person or persons requesting the issuance thereof shall have paid to the Company the amount of such tax or shall have established to the satisfaction of the Company that such tax has been paid. The Company shall pay all transfer agent fees required for processing of any conversion and any fees to the Depository Trust Company (or another established clearing corporation performing similar functions) required for electronic delivery of the Conversion Shares.
Section 1.06 Paying Agent and Registrar. Initially, the Company will act as paying agent and registrar for the Notes. The Company may change any paying agent, registrar, or Company-registrar by giving the Holder not less than ten (10) Business Days’ written notice of its election to do so, specifying the name, address, telephone number and facsimile number of the paying agent or registrar. The Company may act in any such capacity.
Section 1.07 Different Denominations. This Note is exchangeable for an equal aggregate principal amount of Notes of different authorized denominations, as requested by the Holder surrendering the same. No service charge will be made for such registration of transfer or exchange.
Section 1.08 Investment Representations. This Note has been issued subject to certain investment representations of the original Holder set forth in the Purchase Agreement and may be transferred or exchanged only in compliance with the Purchase Agreement and applicable federal and state securities laws and regulations.
Section 1.09 Reliance on Note Register. Prior to due presentment to the Company for transfer or conversion of this Note, the Company and any agent of the Company may treat the person in whose name this Note is duly registered on the Note Register as the owner hereof for the purpose of receiving payment as herein provided and for all other purposes, whether or not this Note is overdue, and neither the Company nor any such agent shall be affected by notice to the contrary.
Section 1.10 Security; Other Rights. The obligations of the Company to the Holder under this Note are secured pursuant to the Security Agreement.

Each party hereby irrevocably waives personal service of process and consents to process being served in any such suit, action or proceeding by mailing a copy thereof via registered or certified mail or overnight delivery (with evidence of delivery) to such party at the address in effect for notices to it under this Note and agrees that such service shall constitute good and sufficient service of process and notice thereof.

Section 4.03 Waiver. Any waiver by the Company or the Holder of a breach of any provision of this Note shall not operate as or be construed to be a waiver of any other breach of such provision or of any breach of any other provision of this Note. The failure of the Company or the Holder to insist upon strict adherence to any term of this Note on one or more occasions shall not be considered a waiver or deprive that party of the right thereafter to insist upon strict adherence to that term or any other term of this Note. Any waiver by the Company or the Holder must be in writing.
Section 4.04 Severability. If any provision of this Note is invalid, illegal or unenforceable, the balance of this Note shall remain in effect, and if any provision is inapplicable to any person or circumstance, it shall nevertheless remain applicable to all other persons and circumstances. If it shall be found that any interest or other amount deemed interest due hereunder violates the applicable law governing usury, the applicable rate of interest due hereunder shall automatically be lowered to equal the maximum rate of interest permitted under applicable law. The Company covenants (to the extent that it may lawfully do so) that it shall not at any time insist upon, plead, or in any manner whatsoever claim or take the benefit or advantage of, any stay, extension or usury law or other law which would prohibit or forgive the Company from paying all or any portion of the principal of or interest on this Note as contemplated herein, wherever enacted, now or at any time hereafter in force, or which may affect the covenants or the performance of this indenture, and the Company (to the extent it may lawfully do so) hereby expressly waives all benefits or advantage of any such law, and covenants that it will not, by resort to any such law, hinder, delay or impede the execution of any power herein granted to the Holder, but will suffer and permit the execution of every such as though no such law has been enacted.
Section 4.05 Return of this Note. This Note for which the full amount hereunder shall have been paid in cash in accordance herewith or upon the conversion of this Note as contemplated by Section 1.03 hereof shall promptly be surrendered to or as directed by the Company.

Section 4.07 Headings. The headings contained herein are for convenience only, do not constitute a part of this Note and shall not be deemed to limit or affect any of the provisions hereof.
Section 4.08 Remedies, Characterizations, Other Obligations, Breaches and Injunctive Relief. The remedies provided in this Note shall be cumulative and in addition to all other remedies available under this Note and any of the other Transaction Documents at law or in equity (including a decree of specific performance and/or other injunctive relief), and nothing herein shall limit the Holder’s right to pursue actual and consequential damages for any failure by the Company to comply with the terms of this Note. The Company covenants to the Holder that there shall be no characterization concerning this instrument other than as expressly provided herein. Amounts set forth or provided for herein with respect to payments, conversion and the like (and the computation thereof) shall be the amounts to be received by the Holder and shall not, except as expressly provided herein, be subject to any other obligation of the Company (or the performance thereof). The Company acknowledges that a breach by it of its obligations hereunder will cause irreparable harm to the Holder and that the remedy at law for any such breach may be inadequate. The Company therefore agrees that, in the event of any such breach or threatened breach, the Holder shall be entitled, in addition to all other available remedies, to an injunction restraining any such breach or any such threatened breach, without the necessity of showing economic loss and without any bond or other security being required. The Company shall provide all information and documentation to the Holder that is requested by the Holder to enable the Holder to confirm the Company’s compliance with the terms and conditions of this Note.
Section 4.09 Entire Agreement and Amendments. This Note, together with the Purchase Agreement and the other Transaction Documents, represents the entire agreement between the parties hereto with respect to the subject matter hereof and there are no representations, warranties or commitments, except as set forth herein.
