This 12% Convertible Promissory Note (the “Note”) is being issued in connection with the Note Purchase Agreement entered into by and between Borrower and Holder dated May 22, 2025 (“Note Purchase Agreement”). Terms not otherwise defined herein shall have the meanings assigned to them in the Note Purchase Agreement.
The following terms shall apply to this Note:
ARTICLE I
GENERAL PROVISIONS
1.1Interest Rate and Interest Payment Date. Except as otherwise provided herein, interest payable on this Note shall accrue at a rate of twelve percent (12.0%) per annum from the Issue Date through the Maturity Date. Interest shall be paid on a semi-annual basis commencing on December 31, 2025. Payment of interest shall be made to the Holder in the form of cash.
1.2Maturity Date. The Maturity Date shall be May 22, 2027 (24 months from date of the issuance of the Note).
1.3Payment Grace Period. The Borrower shall have a ten (10) day grace period to pay any monetary amounts due under this Note. After the Maturity Date and during the pendency of an Event of Default, (as defined in Article IV), the interest rate shall be increased to fourteen percent (14%) per annum.
1.4Miscellaneous. Interest on this Note shall be calculated on the basis of a 365-day year and the actual number of days elapsed. Principal and interest on this Note and other payments in connection with this Note shall be payable at the Holder’s offices as designated above in lawful money of the United States of America in immediately available funds without set-off, deduction or counterclaim. Upon assignment of the interest of Holder in this Note, Borrower shall instead make its payment pursuant to the assignee’s instructions upon receipt of written notice thereof.
ARTICLE II CONVERSION RIGHTS
The Holder shall have the right to convert the principal and any interest due under this Note into Shares of the Borrower’s Common Stock, $0.0001 par value per share (“Common Stock”) as set forth below.
2.1.Conversion into the Borrower’s Common Stock.
(a)The Holder shall have the right at any time commencing on the date hereof until this Note is fully paid, to convert any outstanding and unpaid principal portion of this Note, and accrued interest, at the election of the Holder (the date of giving of such notice of conversion being a “Conversion Date”) into fully paid and non-assessable shares of Common Stock. Upon delivery to the Borrower of a completed Notice of Conversion, a form of which is annexed hereto as Schedule A, Borrower shall issue and deliver to the Holder within five (5) business days after the Conversion Date (such fifth day being the “Delivery Date”) that number of shares of Common Stock for the portion of the Note converted in accordance with the foregoing. The Holder will not be required to surrender the Note to the Borrower until the Note has been fully converted or satisfied. The number of shares of Common Stock to be issued upon each conversion of this Note shall be determined by dividing that portion of the principal of the Note and interest, if any, to be converted, by the Conversion Price.
(b)Subject to adjustment as provided in Article 2.1(c) hereof, the conversion price (“Conversion Price”) per share shall be a price equal to $1.25 per share of the Company’s Common Stock.
(c)The Conversion Price and number and kind of shares or other securities to be issued upon conversion determined pursuant to Article 2.1(a), shall be subject to adjustment from time to time upon the happening of certain events while this conversion right remains outstanding, as follows:
A.Merger, Sale of Assets, etc. If (A) the Borrower effects any merger or consolidation of the Borrower with or into another entity, (B) the Borrower effects any sale of all or substantially all of its assets in one or a series of related transactions, (C) any tender offer or exchange offer (whether by the Borrower or another entity) is completed pursuant to which holders of Common Stock are permitted to tender or exchange their shares for other securities, cash or property, (D) the Borrower consummates a stock purchase agreement or other business combination (including, without limitation, a reorganization, recapitalization, spin-off or scheme of arrangement) with one or more persons or entities whereby such other persons or entities acquire more than the 50% of the outstanding shares of Common Stock (not including any shares of Common Stock held by such other persons or entities making or party to, or associated or affiliated with the other persons or entities making or party to, such stock purchase agreement or other business combination), (E) any “person” or “group” (as these terms are used for purposes of Sections 13(d) and 14(d) of the 1934 Act) is or shall become the “beneficial owner” (as defined in Rule 13d-3 under the 1934 Act), directly or indirectly, of 50% of the aggregate Common Stock of the Borrower), or (F) the Borrower effects any reclassification of the Common Stock or any compulsory share exchange pursuant to which the Common Stock is effectively converted into or exchanged for other securities, cash or property (other than a reverse merger) (in any such case, a “Fundamental Transaction”), this Note, as to the unpaid principal portion thereof and accrued interest thereon, if any, shall thereafter be deemed to evidence the right to convert into such number and kind of shares or other securities and property as would have been issuable or distributable on account of such Fundamental Transaction, upon or with respect to the securities subject to the conversion right immediately prior to such Fundamental Transaction. The foregoing provision shall similarly apply to successive Fundamental Transactions of a similar nature by any such successor or purchaser. Without limiting the generality of the
foregoing, the anti-dilution provisions of this Article shall apply to such securities of such successor or purchaser after any such Fundamental Transaction.
B.Reclassification, etc. If the Borrower at any time shall, by reclassification or otherwise, change the Common Stock into the same or a different number of securities of any class or classes that may be issued or outstanding, this Note, as to the unpaid principal portion thereof and accrued interest thereon, shall thereafter be deemed to evidence the right to purchase an adjusted number of such securities and kind of securities as would have been issuable as the result of such change with respect to the Common Stock immediately prior to such reclassification or other change.
C.Stock Splits, Combinations and Dividends. If the shares of Common Stock are subdivided or combined into a greater or smaller number of shares of Common Stock, or if a dividend is paid on the Common Stock in shares of Common Stock, the Conversion Price shall be proportionately reduced in case of subdivision of shares or stock dividend or proportionately increased in the case of combination of shares, in each such case by the ratio which the total number of shares of Common Stock outstanding immediately after such event bears to the total number of shares of Common Stock outstanding immediately prior to such event.
D.Sale of Convertible Securities. In the event that the Company sells securities that are convertible into shares of the Company’s Common Stock for cash and the conversion price of such securities is less than the Conversion Price then in effect, the Conversion Price shall be reduced to equal such lower conversion price. This provision shall only be applicable to a sale of securities by the Company in the minimum amount of $250,000.
(d)Whenever the Conversion Price is adjusted pursuant to Article 2.1(c) above, the Borrower shall promptly but not later than the fifth (5th) business day after the effectiveness of the adjustment, provide notice to the Holder setting forth the Conversion Price after such adjustment and setting forth a statement of the facts requiring such adjustment. Failure to provide the foregoing notice is an Event of Default under this Note.
2.2Method of Conversion. This Note may be converted by the Holder in whole or in part as described in Article 2.1(a) hereof. Upon partial conversion of this Note, a new Note containing the same date and provisions of this Note shall, at the request of the Holder, be issued by the Borrower to the Holder for the principal balance of this Note and interest which shall not have been converted or paid.
2.3 Beneficial Ownership Limitation. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Note, the Company shall not issue or sell, and the Holder shall not purchase or acquire, any shares of Common Stock under this Note which, when aggregated with all other shares of Common Stock then beneficially owned by the Holder and its affiliates (as calculated pursuant to Section 13(d) of the Exchange Act and Rule 13d-3 promulgated thereunder), would result in the beneficial ownership by the Holder of more than 9.99% of the then issued and outstanding shares of Common Stock (the “Beneficial Ownership Limitation”). Upon the written or oral request of the Holder, the Company shall promptly (but not later than 24 hours) confirm orally or in writing to the Holder the number of shares of Common Stock then outstanding. The Holder and the Company shall each cooperate in good faith in the determinations required hereby and the application hereof. The Holder’s written certification to the Company of the applicability of the Beneficial Ownership Limitation, and the resulting effect thereof hereunder at any time, shall be conclusive with respect to the applicability thereof and such result absent manifest error.
ARTICLE III REDEMPTION
This Note may be prepaid, in whole or in part, by the Borrower, at any time after the issuance hereof, without the consent of the Holder except as otherwise described in this Note. If the Note is prepaid prior to the date that is twelve months from the date of this Note, the Borrower shall pay a one percent (1%) prepayment penalty to Holder. Any pre-payment penalty shall only be applied to the then outstanding principal amount being prepaid. Borrower shall provide Holder at least thirty (30) days prior written notice of its intent to prepay the Note, during which time Holder may elect to convert all or a portion of the outstanding principal and accrued interest of the Note. Holder shall notify Borrower in writing of its election to convert the Note at least five (5) days prior to the prepayment date, pursuant to which it shall indicate the amount of principal and/or accrued interest it intends to convert into shares of the Borrower’s common stock at the Conversion Price then in effect. If Holder does not timely notify Borrower of its election to convert the Note in accordance herewith, Holder shall not be entitled to convert the Note at such time, however, if the Note is not repaid in full Holder shall continue to have the right to convert the Note in connection with any future repayment notices provided to Holder.
ARTICLE IV EVENT OF DEFAULT
