Re:
Exchange and Subscription for RumbleOn, Inc. Convertible Senior Notes due 2025
Ladies and Gentlemen:
RumbleOn, Inc., a Nevada corporation, (the “Company”), is offering a new series of 6.75% Convertible Senior Notes due 2025 (the “New Notes”). The New Notes will be convertible into cash, shares (“Underlying Shares”) of Class B common stock of the Company, par value $0.001 per share (“Common Stock”), or a combination thereof, at the Company’s election. The New Notes will be issued pursuant to an Indenture, to be dated as of the Closing Date (as defined below), between the Company and Wilmington Trust, N.A., as trustee (the “Trustee”), the form of which is attached hereto as Exhibit E (the “Indenture”).
The undersigned (the “Investor”), for itself and, in relation to the New Notes Offering (as defined below), on behalf of the accounts (if any) listed on Exhibit A and Exhibit B hereto (the “Accounts” and, collectively with the Investor, the “Purchasers”), agrees to:
(1)
tender the Company’s existing 6.75% Convertible Senior Notes due 2024 (CUSIP 781386 AA5 and ISIN: US781386AA56) (the “Old Notes”) for an amount of New Notes determined as set forth herein (the “Exchange”); and
(2)
subscribe for and purchase from the Company New Notes for cash (the “Subscription” and, together with the Exchange, the “New Notes Offering”),
in each case, pursuant and subject to the terms and conditions set forth in this agreement (this “Agreement”).
The Investor and each Account understands that the New Notes Offering is being made without registration under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”), or any securities laws of any state of the United States or of any other jurisdiction, and that the New Notes Offering is only being made to investors who are both “accredited investors” (as defined in Rule 501 of Regulation D under the Securities Act) and “qualified institutional buyers” (as defined in Rule 144A under the Securities Act) in reliance upon one or more exemptions from registration under the Securities Act.
The holders of the New Notes will be entitled to the benefits of a registration rights agreement, to be dated as of the Closing Date, the form of which is attached hereto as Exhibit F (the “Registration Rights Agreement”), between the Company and the Investors, pursuant to which the Company will agree to file one or more registration statements with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (the “Commission”) providing for the registration under the Securities Act of the resale of the New Notes and the Underlying Shares. This Agreement, the Indenture, the New Notes and the Registration Rights Agreement are referred to herein collectively as the “Transaction Documents.”
Concurrently with the New Notes Offering, the Company is selling, in a transaction registered under the Securities Act, shares of Common Stock (the “Concurrent Common Stock Offering”), and the Company is amending and exchanging certain of its outstanding subordinated secured promissory notes in an aggregate principal amount of $2.0 million to extend the maturity of a portion of such notes (the “Concurrent Investor Note Exchange”). The net proceeds of the Concurrent Common Stock Offering, less commissions to the placement agent and estimated expenses payable by the Company, are expected to be at least $10 million. As contemplated by Section 7(b) of this Agreement, the New Notes Offering is contingent upon completion of the Common Stock Offering.
1.
The Exchange. Subject to the terms and conditions of this Agreement, the Purchasers hereby tender, assign and transfer to the Company all right, title and interest in the aggregate principal amount (the “Exchanged Principal Amount”) of Old Notes set forth in column 2 of Exhibit A hereto (such principal amount of Old Notes, the “Exchanged Old Notes”) in exchange for New Notes having an aggregate principal amount, for each Purchaser, equal to the product of (x) the Exchange Ratio, as set forth in Exhibit A and (y) the Exchanged Principal Amount of Exchanged Old Notes for such Purchaser, rounded to the nearest integral multiple of $1,000 in principal amount, if applicable, as set forth in column 4 of Exhibit A hereto (such aggregate principal amount of New Notes, as so rounded, if applicable, the “Exchanged New Notes”), and the Company agrees to issue such Exchanged New Notes to the Purchasers in exchange for such Exchanged Old Notes. For the avoidance of doubt, the Company will make separate cash payment in respect of rounded amounts or interest, if any, accrued and unpaid to the Closing Date (as defined below) for the Exchanged Old Notes. Subject to the terms and conditions of this Agreement, the Investor, on behalf of itself and each Account, hereby (a) waives any and all other rights with respect to such Exchanged Old Notes, and (b) releases and discharges the Company from any and all claims the Investor and each Account may now have, or may have in the future, arising out of, or related to, such Exchanged Old Notes.
2.
The Subscription. Subject to the terms and conditions of this Agreement, the Purchasers hereby agree to purchase from the Company, and the Company hereby agrees to issue and sell to the Investor and/or any such Account, New Notes (the “Purchased New Notes”) having an aggregate principal amount as set forth in column 2 of Exhibit B hereto (the “Purchased Principal Amount”), for an aggregate purchase price in cash in respect of such Purchased New Notes as set forth in column 3 of Exhibit B (such aggregate cash purchase price, the “Cash Purchase Price”).
3.
The Closing. The closing of the New Notes Offering (the “Closing”) shall take place at the offices of Akerman LLP, 350 East Las Olas Boulevard, Fort Lauderdale, Florida 33301 at 10:00 a.m., New York City time, on January 14, 2020 or, subject to the immediately succeeding sentence, at such other time and place as the Company may designate by notice to the Investor (the “Closing Date”).

Representations and Warranties of the Company. The Company represents and warrants to the Investor (and each Account, as applicable) that:
(a)
Organization. The Company and each of the subsidiaries of the Company set forth in the SEC Reports (defined below) (the “Subsidiaries”) is an entity duly incorporated or otherwise organized, validly existing and in good standing under the laws of the jurisdiction of its incorporation or organization, with the requisite power and authority to own and use its properties and assets and to carry on its business as described in the SEC Reports. Neither the Company nor any Subsidiary is in violation nor default of any of the provisions of its respective certificate or articles of incorporation, bylaws or other organizational or charter documents. Each of the Company and the Subsidiaries is duly qualified to conduct business and is in good standing as a foreign corporation or other entity in each jurisdiction in which the nature of the business conducted or property owned by it makes such qualification necessary, except where the failure to be so qualified or in good standing, as the case may be, could not have or reasonably be expected to result in a material adverse effect on (i) the legality, validity or enforceability of any Transaction Document, (ii) the results of operations, assets, business, prospects or condition (financial or otherwise) of the Company and the Subsidiaries, taken as a whole, or (iii) on the Company’s ability to perform in any material respect on a timely basis its obligations under any Transaction Document (a “Material Adverse Effect”).
(b)
Due Authorization. The Company has the requisite corporate power and authority to enter into and to consummate the transactions contemplated by each of the Transaction Documents and otherwise to carry out its obligations hereunder and thereunder. The execution and delivery of each of the Transaction Documents by the Company and the consummation by it of the transactions contemplated hereby and thereby have been duly authorized by all necessary action on the part of the Company and no further action is required by the Company, the board of directors of the Company (the “Board of Directors”) or the Company’s stockholders in connection herewith or therewith other than in connection with the Required Approvals (as defined below). This Agreement, the Indenture and each other Transaction Document to which the Company is a party has been (or upon delivery will have been) duly executed by the Company and, when delivered in accordance with the terms hereof and thereof, will constitute the valid and binding obligation of the Company enforceable against the Company in accordance with its terms, except as such enforceability may be limited by bankruptcy, fraudulent conveyance, insolvency, reorganization, moratorium, and other laws relating to or affecting creditors’ rights generally and by general equitable principles (regardless of whether such enforceability is considered in a proceeding in equity or at law) (collectively, the “Enforceability Exceptions”).
(c)
New Notes. The Company has all requisite corporate power and authority to execute, issue, sell and perform its obligations under the New Notes. The New Notes have been duly authorized and, at the Closing Date, will have been duly executed by the Company and, when authenticated, issued and delivered in the manner provided for in the Indenture and delivered in the Exchange and the Subscription as provided in this Agreement, will constitute valid and binding obligations of the Company entitled to the benefits of the Indenture, enforceable against the Company in accordance with their terms, except as the enforcement thereof may be limited by the Enforceability Exceptions, and will be in the form contemplated by, and entitled to the benefits of, the Indenture.
(d)
Underlying Shares. The maximum number of Underlying Shares initially issuable upon conversion of the New Notes (assuming settlement solely in shares of Common Stock and taking into account the maximum make-whole adjustment under the Indenture) have been duly and validly authorized and reserved for by the Company and, when issued upon conversion of the New Notes in accordance with the terms of the New Notes, will be validly issued, fully paid and non-assessable, and the issuance of any Underlying Shares will not be subject to any preemptive or similar rights.
(e)
Exemption from Registration. Assuming the accuracy of the representations and warranties of the Investor and each other investor executing an Agreement, (1) each of the issuance of the Exchanged New Notes in connection with the Exchange and the issuance of the Purchased New Notes in connection with the Subscription, as the case may be, pursuant to this Agreement is exempt from the registration requirements of the Securities Act; and (2) the Indenture is not required to be qualified under the Trust Indenture Act of 1939, as amended.
(f)
New Class. The New Notes, when issued, will not be of the same class as securities listed on a national securities exchange registered under Section 6 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”), or quoted in a U.S. automated inter-dealer quotation system, within the meaning of Rule 144A(d)(3)(i) under the Securities Act.
(g)
No Conflicts. The execution, delivery and performance by the Company of each of the Transaction Documents, and the consummation by it of the transactions contemplated thereby, including the offer and sale of the New Notes and the Underlying Shares do not and will not (i) conflict with or violate any provision of the Company’s or any Subsidiary’s certificate or articles of incorporation, bylaws or other organizational or charter documents, (ii) conflict with, or constitute a default (or an event that with notice or lapse of time or both would become a default) under, result in the creation of any lien upon any of the properties or assets of the Company or any Subsidiary, or give to others any rights of termination, amendment, acceleration or cancellation (with or without notice, lapse of time or both) of, any agreement, credit facility, debt or other instrument (evidencing a Company or Subsidiary debt or otherwise) or other understanding to which the Company or any Subsidiary is a party or by which any property or asset of the Company or any Subsidiary is bound or affected, or (iii) subject to the Required Approvals, conflict with or result in a violation of any law, rule, regulation, order, judgment, injunction, decree or other restriction of any court or governmental authority to which the Company or a Subsidiary is subject (including federal and state securities laws and regulations), or by which any property or asset of the Company or a Subsidiary is bound or affected; except in the case of each of clauses (ii) and (iii), such as could not have or reasonably be expected to result in a Material Adverse Effect.
(h)
Conduct of Business. Since December 31, 2018, except as has been publicly disclosed in the SEC Reports and except for the Concurrent Common Stock Offering, the Company has conducted its business in the ordinary course materially consistent with past practice. Since December 31, 2018, there has not been any Material Adverse Effect with respect to the Company or any of its Subsidiaries nor has there occurred any event that is reasonably likely to result in a Material Adverse Effect with respect to the Company or any of its Subsidiaries.
(i)
Filings, Consents and Approvals. The Company is not required to obtain any consent, waiver, authorization or order of, give any notice to, or make any filing or registration with, any court or other federal, state, local or other governmental authority or other person in connection with the execution, delivery and performance by the Company of the Transaction Documents, the consummation by the Company of the transactions contemplated thereby, including the offer and sale of the New Notes and the Underlying Shares, in each case other than: (i) the filings required pursuant to Section 8 of this Agreement, (ii) application(s) to The Nasdaq Stock Market LLC (“Nasdaq”) for the listing of the Underlying Shares for trading thereon in the time and manner required thereby, and (iii) such filings as are required to be made under applicable state securities laws (collectively, the “Required Approvals”).
(j)
Capitalization. The capitalization of the Company is as set forth in the SEC Reports, except to the extent affected by the Concurrent Common Stock Offering and the Concurrent Note Exchange. Except as contemplated by the Concurrent Common Stock Offering, the Company has not issued any capital stock since its most recently filed periodic report under the Exchange Act, other than pursuant to the vesting and delivery of awards under the Company’s employee equity plans outstanding as of the date of the most recently filed periodic report under the Exchange Act. No person has any right of first refusal, preemptive right, right of participation, or any similar right to participate in the transactions contemplated by the Transaction Documents. All issued and outstanding securities of the Company issued prior to the transactions contemplated by this Agreement have been duly authorized and validly issued and are fully paid and non-assessable; the holders thereof have no rights of rescission with respect thereto, and are not subject to personal liability by reason of being such holders; and none of such securities were issued in violation of the preemptive rights of any holders of any security of the Company or similar contractual rights granted by the Company. The offers and sales of the outstanding shares of Class A Common Stock and Common Stock were at all relevant times either registered under the Securities Act and the applicable state securities or “blue sky” laws or, based in part on the representations and warranties of the purchasers of such shares of Class A Common Stock and Common Stock, exempt from such registration requirements.
(k)
SEC Reports. Since January 9, 2017, the Company has filed all reports, schedules, forms, statements and other documents required to be filed by the Company under the Securities Act and the Exchange Act, including pursuant to Section 13(a) or 15(d) thereof (the foregoing materials, including the exhibits thereto and documents incorporated by reference therein, being collectively referred to herein as the “SEC Reports”), on a timely basis or has received a valid extension of such time of filing and has filed any such SEC Reports prior to the expiration of any such extension. As of their respective dates, the SEC Reports complied in all material respects with the requirements of the Securities Act and the Exchange Act, as applicable, and none of the SEC Reports, when filed, contained any untrue statement of a material fact or omitted to state a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary in order to make the statements therein, in the light of the circumstances under which they were made, not misleading.
(l)
Financial Statements. The financial statements, including the notes thereto and supporting schedules, included in the SEC Reports, fairly present the financial position and the results of operations of the Company at the dates and for the periods to which they apply; and such financial statements have been prepared in conformity with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”), consistently applied throughout the periods involved (provided that unaudited interim financial statements are subject to year-end audit adjustments that are not expected to be material in the aggregate and do not contain all footnotes required by GAAP). All disclosures contained in the SEC Reports regarding “non-GAAP financial measures” (as such term is defined by the rules and regulations of the Commission), if any, comply with Regulation G of the Exchange Act and Item 10 of Regulation S-K of the Securities Act, to the extent applicable. The SEC Reports disclose all material off-balance sheet transactions, arrangements, obligations (including contingent obligations), and other relationships of the Company with unconsolidated entities or other persons that may have a material current or future effect on the Company’s financial condition, changes in financial condition, results of operations, liquidity, capital expenditures, capital resources, or significant components of revenues or expenses. Except as disclosed in the SEC Reports, (a) the Company has not incurred any material liabilities or obligations, direct or contingent, or entered into any material transactions other than in the ordinary course of business, (b) the Company has not declared or paid any dividends or made any distribution of any kind with respect to its capital stock, (c) there has not been any change in the capital stock of the Company, or, other than in the course of business, any grants under any stock compensation plan, and (d) there has not been any material adverse change in the Company’s long-term or short-term debt.
(m)
Disclosure Controls. The Company maintains disclosure controls and procedures as required by Rule 13a-15 or 15d-15 under the Exchange Act. Such disclosure controls and procedures are effective to ensure that all information required to be disclosed by the Company is recorded and reported on a timely basis to the individuals responsible for the preparation of the SEC Reports and other public disclosure documents. The Company maintains systems of “internal control over financial reporting” (as defined under Rules 13a-15 and 15d-15 under the Exchange Act Regulations) that comply with the requirements of the Exchange Act and have been designed by, or under the supervision of, its principal executive and principal financial officers, or persons performing similar functions. Such systems of internal control over financial reporting are effective in providing reasonable assurance regarding the reliability of financial reporting and the preparation of financial statements for external purposes in accordance with GAAP and include policies and procedures that provide reasonable assurance that (i) transactions are executed in accordance with management’s general or specific authorizations; (ii) transactions are recorded as necessary to permit preparation of financial statements in conformity with GAAP and to maintain asset accountability; (iii) access to assets is permitted only in accordance with management’s general or specific authorization; and (iv) the recorded accountability for assets is compared with the existing assets at reasonable intervals and appropriate action is taken with respect to any differences. No attorney representing the Company or any of its Subsidiaries, whether or not employed by the Company or any of its Subsidiaries, has reported evidence of a violation of securities laws, breach of fiduciary duty or similar violation by the Company or any of its officers, directors, employees or agents pursuant to the rules adopted pursuant to Section 307 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act.
(n)
Internal Controls. The Company has disclosed, based on the most recent evaluation by its chief executive officer and its chief financial officer prior to the date hereof, to the Company’s auditors and the Audit Committee of Board of Directors (i) any significant deficiencies in the design or operation of its internal controls over financial reporting that are reasonably likely to adversely affect the Company’s ability to record, process, summarize and report financial information and has identified for the Company’s auditors and Audit Committee of the Board of Directors any material weaknesses in internal control over financial reporting and (ii) any fraud, whether or not material, that involves management or other employees who have a significant role in the Company’s internal control over financial reporting. No material complaints from any source regarding accounting, internal accounting controls or auditing matters, and no concerns from the Company’s employees regarding questionable accounting or auditing matters, have been received by the Company or, to the knowledge of the Company, the Company’s independent registered public accounting firm.
(o)
Nasdaq Compliance. The Company is in compliance in all material respects with the applicable listing and corporate governance rules and regulations of Nasdaq. From January 1, 2017 through the date hereof, the Company has not received any comment letter from the Commission or the staff thereof or, except as disclosed in the SEC Reports, any correspondence from the Nasdaq or the staff thereof relating to the delisting or maintenance of listing of Common Stock on Nasdaq, other than such disclosures or documents that can be obtained on the Commission’s website at www.sec.gov. No approval of the stockholders of the Company under the rules and regulations of Nasdaq (including Rule 5635 of the Nasdaq Marketplace Rules) is required to issue and deliver the New Notes to the Purchasers or the Underlying Securities upon the conversion of the New Notes.
(p)

To the knowledge of the Company, no action or use by the Company necessary for the conduct of its business as currently carried on and as described in the SEC Reports will involve or give rise to any infringement of, or license or similar fees for, any Intellectual Property Rights of others. Except as would not reasonably be expected to result, individually or in the aggregate, in a Material Adverse Effect, the Company has not received any notice alleging any such infringement, fee or conflict with asserted Intellectual Property Rights of others.

To the Company’s knowledge, all material trade secrets developed by and belonging to the Company which have not been patented have been kept confidential. The Company is not a party to or bound by any options, licenses or agreements with respect to the Intellectual Property Rights of any other person or entity that are required to be set forth in the SEC Reports and are not described therein.
