Neither the Company nor any of the Subsidiaries is in violation of any provisions of its Certificate of Incorporation, Bylaws or any other governing document or in default (and no event has occurred which, with notice or lapse of time or both, would constitute a default) under any provision of any material instrument or material contract to which it is a party or by which it or any of its Property is bound, or in violation of any provision of any Governmental Requirement applicable to it, except for violations of any provision of a Governmental Requirement that has not had or would not reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect (any such violation or default, a “Current Violation”). The execution, delivery and performance of this Agreement and the other Transaction Documents, and the consummation of the transactions contemplated hereby and thereby (including without limitation, the filing of the Certificate of Designation, the issuance of the Preferred Shares and Warrants and the reservation and issuance of the Conversion Shares and Warrant Shares) will not result in a Current Violation or result in the creation of any Lien upon any assets of the Company or of any of the Subsidiaries or the triggering of any preemptive or, except as disclosed on Schedule 3.7, anti-dilution rights (including without limitation pursuant to any “reset” or similar provisions) or rights of first refusal or first offer, or any other rights that would allow or permit the holders of the Company’s securities or other Persons to purchase shares of Common Stock or other securities of the Company (whether pursuant to a shareholder rights plan provision or otherwise). Existing Missouri control share acquisition or business combination statutory provisions are inapplicable to the Company or to the issuance and delivery of the Securities to the Investors as contemplated by the Transaction Documents.

To the Company’s knowledge, there exist no facts or circumstances (including without limitation any required approvals or waivers of any circumstances that may delay or prevent the obtaining of accountant’s consents) that could reasonably be expected to prohibit or delay the preparation, filing or effectiveness of such registration statement.

3.10 Acknowledgement of Dilution. The Company acknowledges that the issuance of the Conversion Shares upon conversion of the Preferred Shares and issuance of Warrant Shares upon

exercise of the Warrants may result in dilution of the outstanding shares of Common Stock, which dilution may be substantial under certain market conditions. The Company further acknowledges that its obligation to issue Conversion Shares upon conversion of the Preferred Shares and Warrant Shares upon exercise of the Warrants in accordance with the terms thereof is unconditional regardless of the effect of any such dilution. The Company further acknowledges that each Investor may enter into short sales and engage in other hedging activity with respect to the Preferred Shares, the Conversion Shares, the Warrants and the Warrant Shares and, assuming such activity complies in all material respects with applicable Governmental Requirements, the Company hereby waives any claim against any Investor alleging that such activity constitutes a breach of such Investor’s contractual or other obligations.

The Company has complied in all material respects with all applicable federal and state equal opportunity and other laws related to employment.

No notice of cancellation has been received for any of such policies and the Company reasonably believes that is in compliance with all of the terms and conditions thereof. The Company has no reason to believe that it will not be able to renew any existing insurance coverage as and when such coverage expires or to obtain similar coverage from similar insurers as may be necessary to continue doing business as currently conducted without a significant increase in cost. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the Company maintains Director’s and Officer’s insurance in an amount not less than $10 million for each covered occurrence and in the aggregate.

The Company and the Subsidiaries possess all material certificates, authorizations and permits issued by the appropriate federal, state or foreign regulatory authorities necessary to conduct their respective businesses other than where the failure to possess such certificates, authorizations or permits, individually or in the aggregate, has not had and would not reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect.

The Company maintains internal accounting controls, policies and procedures, and such books and records as are reasonably designed to provide reasonable assurance that (i) all transactions to which the Company or any Subsidiary is a party or by which its properties are bound are effected by a duly authorized employee or agent of the Company, supervised by and acting within the scope of the authority granted by the Company’s senior management; (ii) the recorded accounting of the Company’s consolidated assets is compared with existing assets at regular intervals; and (iii) all transactions to which the Company or any Subsidiary is a party, or by which its properties are bound, are recorded (and such records maintained) in accordance with all Government Requirements and as may be

(i) The fair saleable value of the Company’s assets exceeds the amount that will be required to be paid on or in respect of the Company’s existing Debt as such Debt matures or is otherwise payable; (ii) the Company’s assets do not constitute unreasonably small capital to carry on its business for the current fiscal year as now conducted and as proposed to be conducted taking into account the current and projected capital requirements of the business conducted by the Company and projected capital availability; and (iii) the current cash flow of the Company, together with the proceeds the Company would receive upon liquidation of its assets, after taking into account all anticipated uses of such amounts, would be sufficient to pay all Debt when such Debt is required to be paid. The Company does not intend to incur Debt beyond its ability to pay such Debt as it matures. The Company has no knowledge of any facts or circumstances which lead it to believe that it will be required to file for reorganization or liquidation under the bankruptcy or reorganization laws of any jurisdiction, and has no present intention to so file.

3.31 Transactions with Interested Person. Except as set forth in Schedule 3.31, no officer, director or employee of the Company or any of its Subsidiaries is or has taken any steps to become a party to any transaction with the Company or any Subsidiary (other than for services as employees, officers and directors) that could reasonably be considered material to the Company or such individual, including any contract, agreement or other arrangement providing for the furnishing of services to or by, providing for rental of real or personal property to or from, or otherwise requiring payments to or from any officer, director or such employee or, to the knowledge of the Company, any entity in which any officer, director, or any such employee has a substantial interest or is an officer, director, trustee or partner.

The Company has no reason to believe that any of its or its Subsidiaries’ suppliers will experience a manufacturing disruption, a failure to dedicate adequate resources to the production, assembly or testing of the Company’s or its Subsidiaries’ products, or financial instability, or that any such supplier will be unable to successfully transition its manufacturing capabilities to the future needs of the Company and its Subsidiaries.

(i) maintain adequate insurance coverage (including D&S insurance) for the Company and each Subsidiary.

4.3 Reservation of Common Stock. The Company shall, on the Closing Date, have authorized and reserved for issuance, free from any preemptive rights, a number of shares of Common Stock (the “Reserved Amount”) that, on the Closing Date, is not less than one hundred twenty five percent (125%) of the maximum number of shares of Common Stock issuable (A) upon conversion of all of the Initial Preferred Shares at the Conversion Price then in effect, (B) upon exercise in full of the Warrants, in each case without regard to any limitation on such conversion or exercise that may otherwise be set forth in the Certificate of Designation or the Warrants, and (C) as Dividends (as defined in the Certificate of Designation) accruing on the Initial Preferred Shares through the second anniversary of the Issue Date (as defined in the Certificate of Designation). The Company shall, on the Exchange Date, have authorized and reserved for issuance, free from any preemptive rights, a number of shares of Common Stock that, on the Exchange Date (after giving effect to the Exchange), is not less than one hundred twenty five percent (125%) of the maximum number of shares of Common Stock issuable (A) upon conversion of all of the Preferred Shares at the Conversion Price then in effect, (B) upon exercise in full of the Warrants, in each case without regard to any limitation on such conversion or exercise that may otherwise be set forth in the Certificate of Designation or the Warrants, and (C) as Dividends (as defined in the Certificate of Designation) accruing on the Preferred Shares through the second anniversary of the Issue Date (as defined in the Certificate of Designation) for such Preferred Shares.

seventy-fifth (75th) day, in the event shareholder approval is required for such increase) following such date. Each increase in the Reserved Amount shall be allocated pro rata among the Investors based on the amount of Registrable Securities into which all of the Preferred Shares and Warrants held by such Investor at the time of such increase are convertible or exercisable (without regard to any limitation on such conversion or exercise). While any Preferred Shares or Warrants are outstanding, the Company shall not reduce the Reserved Amount without obtaining the prior written consent of each Investor.

4.6 Company’s Instructions to Transfer Agent. On or prior to each Closing Date, the Company shall execute and deliver irrevocable written instructions to the transfer agent for its Common Stock (the “Transfer Agent”), and provide each Investor with a copy thereof, directing the Transfer Agent (i) to issue certificates representing Conversion Shares upon conversion of the Preferred Shares and receipt of a valid Conversion Notice (as defined in the Certificate of Designation) from an Investor, in the amount specified in such Conversion Notice, in the name of such Investor or its nominee, (ii) to issue certificates representing Warrant Shares upon exercise of the Warrants and (iii) to deliver such certificates to such Investor no later than the close of business on the third (3^rd) business day following the related Conversion Date (as defined in the Certificate of Designation) or Exercise Date (as defined in the Warrant), as the case may be. Such certificates may bear legends pursuant to applicable provisions of this Agreement or applicable law. The Company shall instruct the transfer agent that, in lieu of delivering physical certificates representing shares of Common Stock to an Investor upon conversion of the Preferred Shares, or exercise of the Warrants, and as long as the Transfer Agent is a participant in the Depository Trust Company (“DTC”) Fast Automated Securities Transfer program (“FAST”) and the Conversion Shares are eligible to be delivered through the FAST system, and such Investor has not informed the Company that it wishes to receive physical certificates therefor, and no restrictive legend is required to appear on any physical certificate if issued, the transfer agent may effect delivery of Conversion Shares or Warrant Shares, as the case may be, by crediting the account of such Investor or its nominee at DTC for the number of shares for which delivery is required hereunder within the time frame specified above for delivery of certificates. The Company represents to and agrees with each Investor that it will not give any instruction to the Transfer Agent that will conflict with the foregoing instruction or otherwise restrict such Investor’s right to convert the Preferred Shares or to receive Conversion Shares in accordance with the terms of the Certificate of Designation or to exercise the Warrant or to receive Warrant Shares upon exercise of the Warrants. In the event that the Company’s relationship with the Transfer Agent should be terminated for any reason, the Company shall use its best efforts to cause the Transfer Agent to continue acting as transfer agent pursuant to the terms hereof until such time that a successor transfer agent is appointed by the Company and receives the instructions described above.

4.7 No Adverse Action. The Company and the Subsidiaries shall refrain, during the period beginning on the Execution Date and ending on the Termination Date, from taking any action or entering into any arrangement which in any way materially and adversely affects the provisions of the Certificate of Designation, this Agreement or any other Transaction Document.

4.8 Limitations on Disposition. No Investor shall sell, transfer, assign or dispose of any Securities, unless:

(a) there is then in effect an effective registration statement under the Securities Act covering such proposed disposition and such disposition is made in accordance with such registration statement; or

(b) such Investor has notified the Company in writing of any such disposition, received the Company’s written consent to such disposition and furnished the Company with an opinion of counsel, reasonably satisfactory to the Company, that such disposition will not require registration of such Securities under the Securities Act; provided, however, that no such consent or opinion of counsel will be required (A) if the sale, transfer or assignment complies with federal and state securities laws and is made to an Affiliate of such Investor which is also an “accredited investor” as that term is defined in Rule 501 of Regulation D, and such Affiliate delivers to the Company a duly executed Investment Representation Certificate in the form attached hereto as Exhibit F (an “Investment Certificate”), (B) if the sale, transfer or assignment is made pursuant to Rule 144 and such Investor provides the Company with evidence reasonably satisfactory to the Company that the proposed transaction satisfies the requirements of Rule 144 or (C) in connection with a bona fide pledge or hypothecation of any Securities under a margin arrangement with a broker-dealer or other financial institution.

4.9 Disclosure of Information. The Company agrees that it will not at any time following the Execution Date disclose material non-public information to any Investor without first receiving such Investor’s written consent to such receive such disclosure. If the Company breaches its obligations under this Section 4.9, it shall promptly following a request by an Investor, and no later than one Business Day following such breach, make a public disclosure, in compliance with Regulation FD under the Exchange Act, of all such material non-public information theretofore disclosed to such Investor.

4.10 Quotation on Nasdaq. The Company shall (i) promptly following the Closing, use its commercially reasonable efforts to include all of the Conversion Shares issuable upon conversion of the Preferred Shares (without regard to any limitation on such conversion) and all of the Warrant Shares issuable upon exercise of the Warrants (without regard to any limitation on such exercise) for designation and quotation on the Nasdaq Stock Market, and (ii) use its commercially reasonable efforts to maintain the designation and quotation, or listing, of the Common Stock on the Nasdaq SmallCap Market, the Nasdaq National Market or the New York Stock Exchange for a minimum of five (5) years following the Closing Date.

4.11 Restrictions on Issuances of Securities.

(a) During the period beginning on the Execution Date and ending on the later to occur of (i) the ninetieth (90th) day following the Closing Date, and (ii) the thirtieth (30th) day following the last day of a Restricted Period, the Company shall not effect a Subsequent Issuance.

(b) During the period beginning on the Execution Date and ending on the date on which the Company obtains Shareholder Approval, the Company shall not effect a Subsequent Issuance if, immediately following such Subsequent Issuance, as a result of the operation of anti-dilution or other adjustments provided for in the Preferred Shares or Warrants or otherwise, the sum of (i) number of Conversion Shares issued or issuable upon conversion of the Preferred Shares (including Preferred Shares issuable pursuant to an Exchange) (without regard to any limitation on conversion contained in the Certificate of Designation) and (ii) the number of Warrant Shares issued or issuable upon exercise of the Warrants (without regard to any limitation on exercise contained in the Warrants), would exceed the Cap Amount (as defined in the Certificate of Designation).

(c) During the period beginning on the Execution Date and ending on the Termination Date, the Company shall not effect a Subsequent Issuance of (i) any Senior Securities or Pari Passu Securities (as such terms are defined in the Certificate of Designation), (ii) any other security of the Company which by its terms is convertible into or exchangeable or exercisable for any Senior Security or Pari Passu Security, or (iii) any option, warrant or other right to subscribe for, purchase or otherwise acquire any such security described in the foregoing clauses (i) and (ii); provided, however, that the foregoing shall not apply to the issuance of Permitted Debt.

(d) Except as otherwise provided in this Section 4.11, the Company shall have the right to effect a Subsequent Issuance.

4.12 Limitation on Debt and Liens. During the period beginning on the Execution Date and ending on the Termination Date, the Company shall refrain, and shall ensure that each of its Subsidiaries that is not a Public Subsidiary refrains, (a) from incurring any Debt (including without limitation by issuing any Debt securities), other than Permitted Debt, or increasing the amount of any existing line of credit or other Debt facility beyond the amount outstanding on the date hereof, and (b) from granting, establishing or maintaining any Lien on any of its assets, including without limitation any pledge of securities owned or held by it (including without limitation any securities issued by any such Subsidiary), other than Permitted Liens.

4.13 Certain Transactions. During the period beginning on the Execution Date and ending on the Termination Date, and except as may be expressly permitted or required by the Certificate of Designation or the Transaction Documents and the Debt that is outstanding on the Execution Date and specifically disclosed on Schedule 3.5 hereto, the Company shall not, nor will it permit any of its Subsidiaries that is not a Public Subsidiary to, create or otherwise cause or permit to exist or become effective any consensual encumbrance or restriction of any kind on the ability of the Company or any such Subsidiary of the Company (a) to pay dividends or make any other distribution to the Company or any such Subsidiary of the Company in respect of capital stock or with respect to any other interest or participation in, or measured by, its profits, or (b) to pay any amounts that are or become payable under the Certificate of Designation or any of the Transaction Documents.

4.14 Transactions with Affiliates. The Company agrees that, during the period beginning on the Execution Date and ending on the Termination Date, any material transaction or arrangement between it or any of its Subsidiaries and any Affiliate or employee of the Company or any of its Subsidiaries shall be effected only on an arms’ length basis and shall be approved by the Board of Directors, including a majority of the Company’s directors not having an interest in such transaction.

4.15 Indemnification of Investors. The Company will indemnify and hold each Investor and its directors, managers, officers, shareholders, members, partners, employees and agents (each, an “Investor Party”) harmless from any and all losses, liabilities, obligations, claims, contingencies, damages, costs and expenses, including all judgments, amounts paid in settlements, court costs and reasonable attorneys’ fees and costs of investigation that any such Investor Party may suffer or incur as a result of or relating to (a) any breach of any of the representations, warranties, covenants or agreements made by the Company in this Agreement or in the other Transaction Documents or (b) any action instituted against an Investor, or any of them or their respective Affiliates, by any shareholder of the Company who is not an Affiliate of such Investor, with respect to any of the transactions contemplated by the Transaction Documents (unless such action is based upon a breach by such Investor of such Investor’s representations, warranties or covenants under the Transaction Documents or any agreements or understandings such Investor may have with any such shareholder or any violations by such Investor of state or federal securities laws or any conduct by such Investor which constitutes fraud, gross negligence, willful misconduct or malfeasance). If any action shall be brought against any Investor Party in respect of which indemnity may be sought pursuant to this Agreement, such Investor Party shall promptly notify the Company in writing, and the Company shall have the right to assume the defense thereof with counsel of its own choosing and to control any settlement of the claim; provided, however, that the Company will not settle any claim unless it first obtains the consent of the relevant Investor Parties, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld if such settlement (i) does not require the Investor Parties to make any payment that is not indemnified under this Agreement, (ii) does not impose any non-financial obligations on the Investor Parties and (iii) does not require an acknowledgment of wrongdoing on the part of the Investor Parties. Any Investor Party shall have the right to employ separate counsel in any such action and participate in the defense thereof, but the fees and expenses of such counsel shall be at the expense of such Investor Party except to the extent that (i) the employment thereof has been specifically authorized by the Company in writing, (ii) the Company has failed after a reasonable period of time to assume such defense and to employ counsel or (iii) in such action there is, in the reasonable opinion of such separate counsel, a material conflict on any material issue between the position of the Company and the position of such Investor Party. The Company will not be liable to any Investor Party under this Agreement (i) for any settlement by an Investor Party effected without the Company’s prior written consent, which shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed (it being agreed that it shall not be unreasonable for the Company to withhold or delay such consent if the Company (x) has acknowledged in writing its obligation to indemnify such Investor Party with respect to such matter, (y) the Company has assumed and is actively and in good faith pursuing the defense of such matter as herein provided, and (z) provided to such Investor Party reasonably acceptable evidence that the Company is able to comply with its indemnification obligations hereunder); or (ii) to the extent, but only to the extent that a loss, claim, damage or liability is attributable to such

Investor Party’s wrongful actions or omissions, or gross negligence or to such Investor Party’s breach of any of the representations, warranties, covenants or agreements made by such Investor in this Agreement or in the other Transaction Documents.

EXHIBIT F

INVESTMENT REPRESENTATION CERTIFICATE


Purchaser:		_____________

Company:		Applied Digital Solutions, Inc. (the “Company”)

Security:		_____________

Amount:		_____________

Date:		_____________

In connection with the purchase of the above-listed securities (the “Securities”), the undersigned (the “Purchaser”) represents to the Company as follows:

The Purchaser is aware of the Company’s business affairs and financial condition, and has acquired sufficient information about the Company to reach an informed and knowledgeable decision to acquire the Securities. The Purchaser is purchasing the Securities for its own account for investment purposes only and not with a view to, or for the resale in connection with, any “distribution” thereof for purposes of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”).

The Purchaser understands that the Securities have not been registered under the Securities Act in reliance upon a specific exemption therefor, which exemption depends upon, among other things, the bona fide nature of the Purchaser’s investment intent as expressed herein. In this connection, the Purchaser understands that, in the view of the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”), the statutory basis for such exemption may be unavailable if the Purchaser’s representation was predicated solely upon a present intention to hold these Securities for the minimum capital gains period specified under tax statutes, for a deferred sale, for or until an increase or decrease in the market price of the Securities, or for a period of one year or any other fixed period in the future. The Purchaser is an “accredited investor” as that term is defined under Regulation D promulgated by the Securities and Exchange Commission under the Securities Act.

The Purchaser further understands that the Securities must be held indefinitely unless subsequently registered under the Securities Act or unless an exemption from registration is otherwise available. In addition, the Purchaser understands that the certificate evidencing the Securities will be imprinted with the legend referred to in this Warrant under which the Securities are being purchased.

The Purchaser is aware of the provisions of Rule 144, promulgated under the Securities Act, which, in substance, permit limited public resale of “restricted securities” acquired, directly or indirectly, from the issuer thereof (or from an affiliate of such issuer), in a non-public offering subject to the satisfaction of certain conditions, if applicable, including, among other things: (i) the availability of certain public information about the Company; (ii) the resale occurring not less than one (1) year after the party has purchased and paid for the securities to be sold (subject to certain “tacking” provisions); (iii) the resale being made through a broker in an unsolicited “broker’s transaction” or in transactions directly with a market maker (as said term is defined under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended) and the amount of securities being sold during any three-month period not exceeding the specified limitations stated therein.

The Purchaser further understands that at the time it wishes to sell the Securities there may be no public market upon which to make such a sale, and that, even if such a public market upon which to make such a sale then exists, notwithstanding the Company’s best efforts obligation to do so set forth in the Warrant, the Company may not be satisfying the current public information requirements of Rule 144, and that, in such event, the Purchaser may be precluded from selling the Securities under Rule 144 even if the one-year minimum holding period had been satisfied.

The Purchaser further understands that in the event all of the requirements of Rule 144 are not satisfied, registration under the Securities Act or an exemption from registration will be required; and that, notwithstanding the fact that Rule 144 is not exclusive, the staff of the SEC has expressed its opinion that persons proposing to sell private placement securities other than in a registered offering and otherwise than pursuant to Rule 144 will have a substantial burden of proof in establishing that an exemption from registration is available for such offers or sales, and that such persons and their respective brokers who participate in such transactions do so at their own risk.
