FORM OF CONVERTIBLE PROMISSORY NOTE
NEITHER THIS SECURITY NOR THE SECURITIES INTO WHICH THIS SECURITY IS CONVERTIBLE HAS BEEN REGISTERED WITH THE U.S. SECURITIES AND EXCHANGE COMMISSION OR THE SECURITIES COMMISSION OF ANY STATE IN RELIANCE UPON AN EXEMPTION FROM REGISTRATION UNDER THE SECURITIES ACT OF 1933, AS AMENDED (THE “SECURITIES ACT”), AND, ACCORDINGLY, MAY NOT BE OFFERED OR SOLD EXCEPT PURSUANT TO AN EFFECTIVE REGISTRATION STATEMENT UNDER THE SECURITIES ACT OR PURSUANT TO AN AVAILABLE EXEMPTION FROM, OR IN A TRANSACTION NOT SUBJECT TO, THE REGISTRATION REQUIREMENTS OF THE SECURITIES ACT AND IN ACCORDANCE WITH APPLICABLE STATE SECURITIES LAWS AS EVIDENCED BY A LEGAL OPINION OF COUNSEL TO THE TRANSFEROR TO SUCH EFFECT, THE SUBSTANCE OF WHICH SHALL BE REASONABLY ACCEPTABLE TO THE COMPANY.
SKYX PLATFORMS CORP.
CONVERTIBLE PROMISSORY NOTE
FOR VALUE RECEIVED, SKYX Platforms Corp., a Florida corporation (the “Company”), hereby unconditionally promises to pay to the order of [_____] (the “Holder”) the principal amount of USD $1,039,303 (the “Principal Amount”), together with all accrued interest thereon, as provided in this Convertible Promissory Note (this “Note”).
This Note is issued on March 29, 2024 (the “Effective Date”) in satisfaction of certain of Company’s payment obligations pursuant to the Stock Purchase Agreement, dated as of February 6, 2023, and the First Amendment to Stock Purchase Agreement, dated as of on April 28, 2023 (collectively, as amended and supplemented, the “Purchase Agreement”). Specifically, the Principal Amount represents the entire cash component of the Deferred Payment under the Purchase Agreement payable to the Holder on the Deferred Payment Date, which the parties intend to satisfy by delivery of this Note by the Company to the Holder. Capitalized but undefined terms used herein shall have the meanings ascribed to them in the Purchase Agreement.
1. Principal and Interest.
(a) Unless sooner converted in accordance with Section 2, the Principal Amount of this Note and all interest accrued thereon is due and payable on May 16, 2025 (the “Maturity Date”). Upon payment in full of the Principal Amount, or conversion of this Note pursuant to the terms hereof, this Note shall be surrendered to the Company for cancellation.
(b) The Principal Amount outstanding under this Note shall bear interest at a rate of ten percent (10%) per annum (the “Interest Rate”), beginning on the Deferred Payment Date. All computations of interest hereunder shall be made on the basis of a year of 365/366 days, as the case may be, and the actual number of days elapsed. For any portion of the Principal Amount that is repaid, interest shall not accrue on such portion as of the date on which such payment is made.
4 |
(c) If at any time the Interest Rate payable on this Note shall exceed the maximum rate of interest permitted under applicable law, such Interest Rate shall be reduced automatically to the maximum rate permitted.
2. Conversion.
(a) This Note shall be convertible into shares of the Company’s common stock (“Common Stock”) in the discretion of the Holder prior to or on the Maturity Date and shall convert into that number of Common Stock as shall equal (i) the Principal Amount of the Note outstanding divided by (ii) USD $3.00.
(b) Subject to the Share Cap (defined below) and subsection 2(c) below, the Holder shall effect a conversion of this Note by delivering to the Company the form of Notice of Conversion attached hereto signed by the Holder. Upon conversion of the Note, the outstanding Principal Amount shall be converted without any further action by the Holder and whether or not the Note is surrendered to the Company or its transfer agent. The Company shall not be obligated to issue certificates evidencing the shares of the securities issuable upon such conversion unless such Note is either delivered to the Company or its transfer agent, or the Holder notify the Company or its transfer agent that such Note has been lost, stolen or destroyed and executes an agreement reasonably satisfactory to the Company to indemnify the Company from any loss incurred by it in connection with such Note. The Company shall, as soon as practicable, but in any event within ten (10) days after such delivery, or such agreement and indemnification, issue and deliver at such office to such Holder of such Note, a certificate or certificates (or electronic book-entry statements) for the securities to which the Holder shall be entitled. Such conversion shall be deemed to have been made immediately prior to the close of business on the date of closing of the transaction causing conversion. The person or persons entitled to receive securities issuable upon such conversion shall be treated for all purposes as the record Holder of such securities on such date.
(c) In no event shall the aggregate number of shares of Common Stock deliverable pursuant to this Note, combined with the shares of Common Stock deliverable pursuant to (i) the Purchase Agreement, (ii) certain promissory notes issued by the Company on February 6, 2023 and March 29, 2023 in connection with financing the acquisition of Belami, Inc., (iii) the convertible promissory notes issued by the Company to the other Sellers under the Purchase Agreement on the date hereof, and (iv) any other shares issuable in connection with such acquisition, exceed 19.99% of the Common Stock of the Company that was outstanding on the date of the Purchase Agreement (the “Share Cap”). If the number of shares of Common Stock deliverable upon a conversion of the Principal Amount and interest of this Note would result in the issuance of shares of Common Stock in excess of the Share Cap, the Company will issue the maximum number of shares of Common Stock under such Share Cap, and pay any excess balance of the Principal Amount and interest when due under this Note.
(d) If the number of authorized shares of the Company’s common stock is not sufficient to effect the conversion of this Note, the Company will use all commercially reasonable efforts to effect such corporate action as may, in the opinion of its counsel, be necessary to increase its authorized but unissued shares of equity securities issuable upon conversion of this Note as shall be sufficient for such purpose.
3. Payment.
(a) All payments of principal and interest hereunder shall be made in US dollars on the date on which such payment is due, in accordance with the Holder’s written instructions. Such payments shall be made by wire transfer of immediately available funds to the Holder’s accounts at banks specified by the Holder in writing to the Company from time to time. Whenever any payment hereunder is due on a day that is not a Business Day, such payment shall be made on the next succeeding Business Day, and interest shall be calculated to include such extension.
5 |
(b) The Holder hereby accepts this Note in substitution of, and in satisfaction of, their right to receive payment of the Deferred Payment in cash pursuant to Section 2.6 of the Purchase Agreement. A breach under this Note by the Company shall constitute a breach to make the Deferred Payment to the Holder under Section 2.6 the Purchase Agreement.
(c) The Company shall have no right to offset amounts due hereunder against any other rights to receive payment from the Holder pursuant to the Purchase Agreement.
4. Default. This Note shall, at the option of the Holder, become immediately due and payable, and until paid in full, shall bear interest on the outstanding balance of principal at the annual rate of fifteen percent (15%), upon written notice from the Holder to the Company upon the occurrence and during the continuance of any of the following events (each an “Event of Default”), except that in the case of an Event of Default described in Section 5(d) or (e) such acceleration shall be automatic and not require any notice:
(a) failure to make any payment of principal or interest when due, which failure has continued for a period of thirty (30) calendar days after written notice thereof shall have been received by the Company from the Holder hereof;
(b) default in the payment or performance of any obligation or covenant of the Company contained in this Note or the Purchase Agreement, or a breach of a representation or warranty in this Note or the Purchase Agreement, and such default or breach shall continue for a period of thirty (30) calendar days after written notice of such default or breach shall have been received by the Company from the Holder hereof;
(c) a sale or transfer of fifty-one percent (51%) or more of the voting control of Belami, Inc. by the Company to any person or entity other than the Company, an employee benefit plan maintained by the Company, or any person or entity of which a majority of its voting power or equity interest is owned directly or indirectly by the Company;
(d) if the Company shall file a voluntary petition in bankruptcy, or shall be adjudicated a bankrupt or insolvent, or shall file any petition or answer seeking any reorganization, arrangement, composition, readjustment, liquidation, dissolution, or similar relief under the present or any future federal bankruptcy code or other applicable federal, state or similar statute, law or regulation, or shall seek or consent to or acquiesce in the appointment of any trustee, receiver or liquidator of the Company or of all or any substantial part of its properties; or
(e) if within sixty (60) days after the commencement of any proceedings against the Company seeking any reorganization, arrangement, composition, readjustment, liquidation, dissolution or similar relief under the present or any future federal bankruptcy code or other applicable federal, state or similar statute, law or regulation, such proceeding shall not have been dismissed or if, within sixty (60) days after the appointment, without the consent or acquiescence of the Company, of any trustee, receiver or liquidator of the Company or of all or any substantial part of its properties, such appointment shall not have been vacated.
5. Representations and Warranties. The Company and Holders represent and warrant to each other that it has the requisite power and authority to execute, deliver, and perform its obligations under this Note and that it has duly executed and delivered this Note.
6 |
6. Prepayment. The Company may prepay this Note in whole or in part at any time or from time to time without penalty or premium by paying the Principal Amount to be prepaid together with accrued interest thereon to the date of prepayment.
