The Security Agreement and the Share Pledge Agreement shall be in substantially the forms attached hereto as Exhibit B and Exhibit C, respectively.

 

WHEREAS, subject to the terms and conditions set forth herein, the Company also wishes to issue to the Purchaser, and the Purchaser also wishes to receive from the Company, 20,000 shares of common stock of the Company, par value $0.0001 per share, which represents 20% of the Company’s aggregate issued and outstanding common stock (such stock sold to the Purchaser, the “RMRA Stock”).

 

NOW THEREFORE, in consideration of the foregoing and the agreements, covenants, representations and warranties set forth below, the parties hereto, intending to be legally bound, hereby agree as follows:

 

SECTION 1.  Issuance and Sale of the Note.

 

1.1          Closing. (a) On the date hereof (the “Closing Date”), the Purchaser agrees to purchase, and the Company agrees to sell and issue to the Purchaser, the Note for a purchase price equal to the Principal Amount.

 

(b) The purchase and sale of the Note shall take place at the office of the Company or at such other place as the parties hereto shall reasonably agree. On the Closing Date, the Company shall deliver to the Purchaser the Note and the Purchaser shall deliver to the Company $2,250,000 by wire transfer of immediately available funds to the Company’s bank account identified by the Company on or prior to the Closing Date.

 

1.2          Use of Proceeds. The Company may use the proceeds of the Note to (i) finance a portion of the acquisition consideration for the CalX Limestone mining operation, (ii) pay any transaction, acquisition or related fees and expenses, including the legal fees and expenses of Greenberg Traurig, LLP and (iii) pay for working capital and other general corporate purposes.

 

SECTION 2.  Terms of the Note.

 

2.1          Form of the Note. The Note shall be in substantially the form attached hereto as Exhibit A.

 

2.2          Payment of Principal and Interest.

 

(a)          Maturity. The Note shall mature on October 3, 2018 (the “Maturity Date”).

 

(b)          Interest Payments. Interest shall accrue monthly at an interest rate of 10% per annum on the unpaid principal amount of the Note outstanding and shall compound monthly. Interest in respect of the Note will be added to the unpaid principal amount of the Note at the end of each month following the Closing Date through the Maturity Date (the “PIK Interest”). Amounts representing the PIK Interest shall be treated as unpaid principal for all purposes of the Loan Documents and shall bear interest in accordance with this Section 2.2(b).

 

 

 

 

2.3          Liquidation Right. Upon an Event of Default arising from the failure to repay the outstanding principal amount of the Note on the Maturity Date, the Purchaser shall have the right to cause the Company to sell its assets until the Company repays the then outstanding amounts due under the Note (such right, the “Liquidation Right”). If the Purchaser elects to exercise its Liquidation Right, the Purchaser shall have the right to appoint a trustee to assist in carrying out the sale of the Company’s assets pursuant to the terms of this Agreement.

 

2.4          Call Right. The Company shall have the right to call the Note at any time at par plus accrued interest thereunder. Upon repayment of the Note and all accrued interest thereunder, the Purchaser shall promptly surrender the Note to the Company and the Note shall be immediately cancelled.

 

SECTION 3.  Terms of the RMRA Stock Issuance.

 

3.1          Terms of the Issuance. On the Closing Date, the Purchaser agrees to receive, and the Company agrees to issue to the Purchaser the RMRA Stock at the office of the Company or at such other place as the parties hereto shall reasonably agree.

 

3.2          Purchaser Conversion Right. At any time, the Purchaser shall have the right to convert the RMRA Stock, in whole or in part, into Class B Common Stock of RMRI, par value $0.001 per share (“RMRI Common Stock”) at a ratio of 1.0 share of RMRA Stock being converted into 7.5 shares of RMRI Common Stock. For example, if the Purchaser were to convert all of the RMRA Stock into RMRI Common Stock, the Purchaser would receive 150,000 shares of RMRI Common Stock. If the Purchaser elects to exercise its conversion right pursuant to this Section 3.2, it shall deliver written notice to the Company and RMRI specifying the amount of RMRA stock that will be converted into RMRI Common Stock (such notice, the “Purchaser Conversion Notice”). No later than 10 Business Days after receipt of the Purchaser Conversion Notice, (i) RMRI shall issue and deliver the RMRI Common Stock (in the amount specified in the Purchaser Conversion Notice) to the Purchaser and (ii) the Purchaser shall deliver the RMRA Stock to the Company (in the amount specified in the Purchaser Conversion Notice). “Business Day” shall mean any day that is not a Saturday, Sunday or other day on which commercial banks in Nevada are authorized or required by law to close or remain closed. For the avoidance of doubt, the purchaser conversion right set forth in this paragraph shall survive the termination of the Loan Documents and the repayment of the Principal Amount plus all accrued interest on the Note.

 

3.3          Equity Call. At any time after (i) October 3, 2017 and (ii) after the Note is no longer outstanding, the Company shall have the right to call the RMRA Stock in exchange for RMRI Common Stock at a ratio of 1.0 share of RMRA Stock being converted into 7.5 shares of RMRI Common Stock; provided that the most recent publicly available share price of RMRI is equal to or greater than $15.00 per share; provided, further, however, that the amount of RMRA Stock that may be called pursuant to this provision shall be limited to the extent (but only to the extent) necessary to ensure that, following such exercise, the total number of shares of RMRI’s common stock then beneficially owned by the Purchaser and its affiliates and any other persons whose beneficial ownership of RMRI’s common stock would be aggregated with the Purchaser’s for purposes of Section 13(d) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, does not exceed 4.99% of the total number of issued and outstanding shares of RMRI’s common stock. For example, if the Company were to call all of the RMRA Stock and exchange it for RMRI Common Stock, the Purchaser would receive 150,000 shares of RMRI Common Stock. If the Company elects to exercise its call right pursuant to this Section 3.3, it shall deliver written notice to the Purchaser and RMRI specifying the amount of RMRA stock to be called (such notice, the “Call Notice”). No later than 10 Business Days after receipt of the Call Notice, (i) RMRI shall issue and deliver the RMRI Common Stock (in the amount specified in the Call Notice) to the Purchaser and (ii) the Purchaser shall deliver the RMRA Stock to the Company (in the amount specified in the Call Notice).

4.2          Corporate Power. The Company has all requisite legal and corporate power to enter into, execute and deliver each of the Loan Documents to which it is a party.

5.2          The Note and the RMRA Stock Not Registered. The Purchaser understands and acknowledges that the offering of the Note and the RMRA Stock pursuant to the applicable Loan Documents will not be registered under the Act or qualified under state securities or “blue sky” laws on the grounds that the offering and sale of securities contemplated by this Agreement are exempt from such registration and qualification, and that the Company’s reliance upon such exemptions is predicated upon the Purchaser’s representations and warranties set forth in this Agreement. The Purchaser acknowledges and understands that resale of the Note and the RMRA Stock shall be restricted indefinitely unless such resale is subsequently registered under the Act and qualified under state securities or “blue sky” laws or an exemption from such registration and such qualification is available which the Company does not anticipate. The Purchaser acknowledges that the Company is under no obligation to effect any registration with respect to the Note or the RMRA Stock or to file for or comply with any exemption from registration and does not anticipate doing so. Additionally, the Purchaser understands that the transfer of the Note and the RMRA Stock shall require compliance with the private placement exemption under the Act and shall additionally require the consent of the Company which consent may be withheld for any reason.
