OF PREFERRED STOCK OF SKYLINE MEDICAL INC. (this “Consent”)]

 

Dated as of July ___, 2014

 

Reference is made to that certain (1) Certificate of Designation of Preferences, Rights and Limitations of Series A Senior Convertible Preferred Stock of Skyline Medical Inc., a Delaware corporation (the “Company”), filed with the Delaware Secretary of State on January 24, 2014 (the “Certificate”) and (2) Securities Purchase Agreement, dated as of February 4, 2014, by and among the Company, the undersigned purchaser and the other purchasers (collectively, the “Purchasers”) named on Schedule I thereto (the “Agreement”). All capitalized terms used but not defined herein shall have the respective meanings set forth in the Certificate.

 

The Company has advised the undersigned that the Company has executed a term sheet pursuant to which the Company intends to issue and sell (i) a note in an original principal amount of $610,978 in a private placement transaction with 31 Group, LLC, comprised of, among others, Magna Group, LLC and Aegis Capital Corp., for a purchase price of $500,000, (ii) one or more notes in an aggregate original principal amount of up to $1,221,956 in a private placement transaction with certain affiliates of the Company and certain persons with whom the Company has a pre-existing relationship, for an aggregate purchase price of up to $1,000,000 and (iii) one or more warrants to purchase Common Stock in private placement transactions with 31 Group, LLC, certain affiliates of the Company and certain persons with whom the Company has a pre-existing relationship (clauses (i), (ii) and (iii) collectively referred to herein as the “Additional Financing”). The Company has agreed to file a registration statement covering the resale of the Common Stock issuable or issued and sold in connection with the Additional Financing (the “Additional Securities”). Upon request, the Company will send the draft transaction documents for the Additional Financing to the Purchasers. In order to facilitate the Additional Financing, the Company hereby requests the following from the undersigned:

 

·a waiver of the Company’s obligation under Section 6.12 of the Agreement to not enter into any contract, transaction or arrangement or issue any security or instrument that provides for forward pricing of shares of Common Stock (the “Forward Pricing Transaction Restriction”) with respect to the Additional Financing and, following a Qualified Public Offering (as defined below), a waiver of the Forward Pricing Transaction Restriction for any subsequent offering of securities by the Company;

 

·a consent to the inclusion of the registration of the Additional Securities on a registration statement or registration statements of the Company to be filed under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, pursuant to Section 10 of the Agreement (the “Registration Statement”), covering the “Registrable Securities” as defined under the Agreement (the “Purchasers Registrable Securities”);

 

 
 

 

·a consent to further extend the Filing Deadline and the Effectiveness Deadline pursuant to Section 10.1 of the Agreement such that the deadlines for the filing and effectiveness of the Registration Statement shall be the same as the applicable deadlines for the Additional Financing; and

 

·an agreement by the undersigned that, (A) without the prior written consent of the underwriters, it or its affiliates will not, directly or indirectly, for a period of 90 days from the closing of an underwritten public offering of the Common Stock with gross offering proceeds of at least $6.0 million and the concurrent listing of the Common Stock on a national securities exchange (a “Qualified Public Offering”), (i) offer, pledge, sell, contract to sell, sell any option or contract to purchase, purchase any option or contract to sell, grant any option, right or warrant to purchase, lend, or otherwise transfer or dispose of, any shares of capital stock of the Company or any securities convertible into or exercisable or exchangeable for shares of capital stock of the Company or (ii) enter into any swap or other arrangement that transfers to another, in whole or in part, any of the economic consequences of ownership of capital stock of the Company, whether any such transaction described in clause (i) or (ii) above is to be settled by delivery of shares of capital stock of the Company or such other securities, in cash or otherwise, and (B) if requested by the underwriters in such Qualified Public Offering, it will execute a standard lock-up agreement in the same form as executed by the Company’s officers and directors, solely to reflect the lock-up provided for in clause (A) above, which agreement will become effective at the closing of such Qualified Public Offering (clauses (A) and (B) together referred to herein as the “Purchaser Lock-Up”).

 

The undersigned hereby (i) consents to waive the Forward Pricing Transaction Restriction with respect to the Additional Financing pursuant to Section 14.1 of the Agreement and waive it for all securities offerings subsequent to a Qualified Public Offering, (ii) consents to the registration of the Additional Securities on the Registration Statement pursuant to Section 10.1 of the Agreement, (iii) consents to waive the Filing Deadline and the Effectiveness Deadline pursuant to Section 10.1 of the Agreement, provided that the Registration Statement covering the Purchasers Registrable Securities satisfies the applicable registration requirements relating to the Additional Financing and (iv) agrees to comply with the Purchaser Lock-Up.

 

In consideration for the waiver and consents provided herein by the Purchasers:

 

(A) upon the closing of a Qualified Public Offering, all outstanding shares of the Preferred Stock shall be automatically converted into shares of Common Stock at the then applicable Conversion Price on the terms provided in this instrument and otherwise as if such conversion were made by the Holders pursuant to the Certificate (such shares, the “Automatic Conversion Amount”), and this Consent serves as the Company’s notice to the Holders of such conversion for all purposes; provided, however, that to the extent that (i) the Qualified Public Offering closes within six (6) months of the first closing of the Additional Financing (“Qualified Public Offering Deadline”) and (ii) 70% of the public offering price per share of the Common Stock in the Qualified Public Offering (the “QPO Discount Price”) is less than the Conversion Price floor contained in Section 7(e)(i) of the Certificate (the “Conversion Price Floor”), the Company shall issue additional shares of Common Stock (the “QPO True-Up Amount”) to the Holders pro rata such that the total number of shares of Common Stock received by the Holders (consisting of the sum of the Automatic Conversion Amount and the QPO True-Up Amount) shall equal the quotient of (i) the product of the Stated Value and the aggregate number of outstanding shares of Preferred Stock held by such Holders and (ii) the QPO Discount Price.

(B) if a Qualified Public Offering is not consummated by the Qualified Public Offering Deadline, then upon a Holder’s conversion of its shares of Preferred Stock, the Company shall issue to such holder such number of shares of Common Stock as calculated using the then applicable Conversion Price pursuant to the Certificate (“Base Conversion Amount”); provided, however, that to the extent that 70% of the volume weighted average price of the Common Stock on the principal Trading Market of the Common Stock during the ten Trading Days immediately preceding the Qualified Public Offering Deadline (“Non-QPO Discount Price”) is less than the Conversion Price Floor, then upon each conversion of shares of Preferred Stock by a Holder, the Company shall issue additional shares of Common Stock (the “Non-QPO True-Up Amount”) to such Holder such that the total number of shares of Common Stock received by such Holder (consisting of the sum of the Base Conversion Amount and the Non-QPO True-Up Amount) shall equal the quotient of (i) the product of the Stated Value and the aggregate number of shares of Preferred Stock that such Holder elected to convert and (ii) the Non-QPO Discount Price.

 

(C) Whenever the Company shall be required to issue and deliver shares for the Automatic Conversion Amount, the QPO True-Up Amount, or the Non-QPO True-Up Amount, the Company shall issue and deliver such shares in accordance with the requirements of Section 6 of the Certificate as if such shares were being issued upon conversion of the Preferred Stock in accordance with the Certificate.

 

(D) The Purchasers shall have the right to participate in the Additional Financing specified in clause (ii) of the definition of that term, pro rata up to an aggregate of $500,000 based on their respective interests in the Preferred Stock.

 

(E) The Company shall pay on demand the reasonable attorneys’ fees and expenses of the Purchasers relating to (1) this instrument, not to exceed $7,500 in total, (2) the negotiation, preparation or execution of any amendment, modification or waiver of, or consent with respect to, any of the Transaction Documents that is requested by the Company, and (3) upon receipt of notice from the Purchasers to the Company, any default or breach of any of the Company’s obligations set forth in any of the Transaction Documents, but only for so long as such default or breach is not cured; provided however, that the Purchasers shall provide to the Company (x) an estimated budget of such reasonable fees and expenses and (y) monthly invoices of such reasonable fees and expenses incurred pursuant to this paragraph (E).

 

(F) The term “Underlying Shares” when used in the Transaction Documents shall include the shares of Common Stock issuable or issued to the Purchasers pursuant to this Consent (the “Additional Shares”).

(8) Disclosure. The Company understands and confirms that the Purchasers will rely on the foregoing representations in effecting transactions in securities of the Company.

The Company confirms that neither it nor any of its officers or directors nor any other Person acting on its or their behalf has provided, and it has not authorized any other Person to provide, any Purchaser or its respective agents or counsel with any information that it believes constitutes material non-public information except insofar as the existence, provisions and terms of this Consent and the proposed transactions hereunder may constitute such information, all of which will be disclosed by the Company in a press release or SEC filing on Form 8-K.

 

(9) Application of Takeover Protections. The Company and its Board of Directors have taken all necessary action, if any, in order to render inapplicable any control share acquisition, business combination, poison pill (including any distribution under a rights agreement) or other similar anti-takeover provision under the Company’s Charter Documents or any stockholder rights plan of the Company or the laws of its state of incorporation (including Section 203 of the Delaware General Corporation Law) that is or could become applicable to each Purchaser as a result of such Purchaser and the Company fulfilling their obligations or exercising their rights under this Consent, including, without limitation, as a result of the Company’s issuance of the Additional Shares and any Purchaser’s ownership of the Additional Shares.

 

(10) Private Placement. Neither the Company nor its Subsidiaries or any affiliates, nor any person acting on its or their behalf, has, directly or indirectly, made any offers or sales of any security or solicited any offers to buy any security, under any circumstances that would require registration of the Additional Shares under the Securities Act. The issuance of the Additional Shares is exempt from registration under the Securities Act.

 

(11) Acknowledgment Regarding Purchasers’ Registration of Additional Shares. The Company acknowledges and agrees that each of the Purchasers is acting solely in the capacity of an arm’s length party with respect to this Consent and the transactions contemplated hereby. The Company further acknowledges that no Purchaser is acting as a financial advisor or fiduciary of the Company (or in any similar capacity with respect to the Company) with respect to this Consent and the transactions contemplated hereby and any advice given by any Purchaser or any of their respective representatives or agents to the Company in connection with this Consent and the transactions contemplated hereby is merely incidental to such Purchaser’s negotiating and executing this Consent. The Company further represents to each Purchaser that the Company’s decision to enter into this Consent has been based on the independent evaluation of the transactions contemplated hereby by the Company and its representatives.

(12) No Registration Rights. No person has the right to (i) prohibit the Company from filing a Registration Statement or (ii) require the Company to register any securities for sale under the Securities Act by reason of the filing of a Registration Statement except in the case of clause (ii) for rights which have been disclosed in the SEC Reports, rights which have been properly waived and rights that the Company may grant to investors in the Additional Financing. The granting and performance of the registration rights under the Agreement that are applicable to the Additional Shares will not violate or conflict with, or result in a breach of any provision of, or constitute a default under, any agreement, indenture, or instrument to which the Company is a party.

 

(13) No Additional Agreements. The Company has no other agreements or understandings (including, without limitation, side letters) with any Purchaser to purchase or otherwise acquire shares of Common Stock on terms other than as set forth herein and in the Transaction Documents.

 

This Consent shall serve as the Company’s notice to the Holders of the adjustment to the Conversion Price in connection with the Additional Financing for purposes of Section 7(g)(i) of the Certificate. The Conversion Price shall be adjusted to equal the conversion price set forth in the definitive documentation for the Additional Financing.

 

This Consent shall become effective:

 

1. only in accordance with Section 14.1 of the Agreement and then only upon the first closing of the Additional Financing; and

 

2. when the Company shall have delivered to each Purchaser a certificate of the Secretary of the Company certifying the resolutions duly adopted by the board of directors of the Company or a duly authorized committee thereof approving the transactions contemplated by this Consent and the issuance of the Additional Shares, and such resolutions shall be reasonably satisfactory in form, scope and substance to the Required Holders.

 

From and after the effective day of this Consent, each reference in the Transaction Documents to the Agreement shall be deemed a reference to the Agreement as modified by the consent of the Purchasers relating to the Agreement and given in May 2014 and by this Consent.

 

This Consent may be signed by the Purchasers and the Company in counterparts. Except as expressly modified hereby, the Agreement and the Certificate remain in full force and effect in accordance with their terms, and the other Transaction Documents remain in full force and effect.
