3.2. The right of the Company to prepay the outstanding principal amount and the accrued and unpaid interest thereon is subject to the following:

 

(a) No prepayment shall be made if the Holder has, prior to the date scheduled for such prepayment, duly delivered a Conversion Notice (as defined below);

7.1. Company Right.

 

(a) The Company, may but shall not have the obligation, to call this Note and convert all, but not less than all, of the accrued and unpaid obligations under this Note into Company Shares as of the date of any of the following transactions (each, a “Conversion Event”):

 

(i) The issuance by the Company or Clearday, Inc., a Delaware corporation that is the ultimate parent entity of the Company (“Clearday”), or any subsidiary of Clearday (collectively, the “Company Group”) of any equity securities in one or more offerings with gross proceeds to Clearday, determined on a consolidated basis under Generally Accepted Accounting Principles (“GAAP”), in an aggregate amount of at least $5 million;

 

(ii) The issuance by Clearday of its equity securities to the holder or holders of convertible debt securities issued by any of the Clearday Group upon the exercise by Clearday (or any of its subsidiaries) to so convert such convertible debt securities that were issued by any of the Clearday Group with gross proceeds to Clearday (determined on a consolidated basis under GAAP) in an aggregate amount of at least $5 million;

 

(iii) The listing by Clearday of its common stock to the New York Stock Exchange, the NYSE American or any tier of the NASDAQ market in connection with an offering of securities by any of the Clearday Group or in connection with any merger, consolidation or similar transaction with another person in which Clearday is the surviving entity;

 

(iv) The exchange of the shares of common stock issued by Clearday to the common stock or other security that is listed on the New York Stock Exchange, the NYSE American or any tier of the NASDAQ market in connection with any merger, consolidation or similar transaction with another person in which Clearday is not the surviving entity or in which Clearday becomes a subsidiary of such other person, including without limitation, any special purpose acquisition corporation;

 

(b) For the purposes of this Note, the term “Company Shares” shall mean shares of the common stock of Clearday, par value $0.001 per share, or any shares of common stock or other equity security into which such shares of such common stock are exchanged upon any merger, consolidation, share exchange or similar transaction.

 

(c) The purchase price for the Common Stock applicable for any conversion of this Note, including any principal or accrued and unpaid interest, is $0.75 per share (seventy-five cents), as adjusted appropriately for any stock split, reverse stock split, merger consolidation or any similar transaction (the “Conversion Price”).

(d) Any such conversion of this Note shall be permitted by the Company only if it exercises a similar right under all of the Convertible Notes.

 

(e) The Company may exercise such right to convert the obligations under this Note upon notice to the Holder that is delivered not later than five business days prior to the closing date (“Conversion Event Closing Date”) of the applicable Conversion Event, which notice shall describe the applicable Conversion Event and the expected Conversion Event Closing Date Any such exercise shall be contingent upon the closing of the applicable Conversion Event.

 

(f) Upon due exercise of the Company’s right to convert the obligations of this Note into Company Shares and the closing of the applicable Conversion Event, on the applicable Conversion Event Closing Date, the outstanding principal balance of, and all accrued but unpaid interest on, this Note will automatically convert into the number of Company Shares as shall be obtained by dividing the aggregate amount of outstanding principal and accrued but unpaid interest on this Note as of such date by the Conversion Price Per Share, rounded up to the next whole share (if applicable). In the event of a merger, consolidation or other transaction referenced in Section 7.1(a)(iv), the conversion of the obligations under this Note shall be deemed to occur the day prior to the Conversion Event Closing Date and, accordingly, all consideration provided to the holders of Common Stock in such transaction shall be provided to the Holder of this Note based on the number of Company Shares issued to the Holder immediately prior to the Conversion Event Closing Date.

 

(g) On the applicable Conversion Event Closing Date, the Company (or the successor) shall issue and deliver to the Holder a certificate or certificates evidencing the Company Shares (if certificated) into which this Note is converted, or, if the Company Shares are not certificated, shall deliver a true and correct copy of the Company’s share register reflecting the Company Shares issued to the Holder, together with such documents, instruments or other agreements as may be necessary or reasonably requested by the Holder in order to evidence the conversion of this Note into the Company Shares. Upon receipt of the foregoing, the Holder shall surrender this original Note marked “cancelled” to the Company; provided, that in any event including the failure to so deliver this original Note, such Note shall be deemed and for all purposes be fully paid and discharged in full.

 

7.2. Right of the Holder.

 

(a) The Holder of this Note may but shall not have the obligation, to convert all, but not less than all, of the accrued and unpaid obligations under this Note into Company Shares as of any date that is prior to the payment by the Company of the obligations under this Note on the Maturity Date or any date the Company duly prepays the obligations under this Note.

 

4
 

 

(b) The right of the Holder to so convert the obligations under this Note to Company Shares may be exercised by the Holder delivering a notice of exercise to the Company that states that the Holder irrevocably exercises the right to convert this Note, confirms that the Holder is the due holder of this Note, includes the original of this Note delivered for cancellation and represents that the Holder has not assigned or transferred its rights under this Note. Upon receipt of such exercise notice, the outstanding principal balance of, and all accrued but unpaid interest on, this Note will automatically convert into the number of Company Shares as shall be obtained by dividing the aggregate amount of outstanding principal and accrued and unpaid interest on this Note as of such date by the Conversion Price, rounded up to the next whole share (if applicable). The issuance of the Company Shares in conversion of this Note pursuant to this Section 7.2 shall be made by the Company promptly, in any event not later than three business days after the date of such receipt.

 

(c) On such issuance date, the Company (or the successor) shall issue and deliver to the Holder a certificate or certificates evidencing the Company Shares (if certificated) into which this Note is converted, or, if the Company Shares are not certificated, shall deliver a true and correct copy of the Company’s share register reflecting the Company Shares issued to the Holder, together with such documents, instruments or other agreements as may be necessary or reasonably requested by the Holder in order to evidence the conversion of this Note into the Company Shares.

 

(d) The right of the Holder to convert the obligations of this Note into Company Shares may be exercised in the sole right of the Holder and is not dependent or contingent upon any exercise or determination to not exercise a similar right under any of the other Convertible Notes.

10.3. No Waiver; Remedies Cumulative.

Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, no oral promise or statement, nor any action, inaction, delay, failure to require performance or course of conduct shall operate as, or evidence, an amendment, supplement or waiver or have any other effect on this Note. Any waiver granted shall be limited to the specific circumstance expressly described in it and shall not apply to any subsequent or other circumstance, whether similar or dissimilar, or give rise to, or evidence, any obligation or commitment to grant any further waiver.
