Interest shall be payable in cash on the first Trading Day of each month and on the Maturity Date (each, an “Interest Payment Date”); provided that any accrued and unpaid Interest outstanding as of the Nasdaq Uplist shall not be paid in cash but shall, together with the Principal, automatically convert into Preferred Shares in accordance with Article 3. Except upon the Nasdaq Uplist as provided in Article 3, Interest may not be paid in Common Stock or any other equity security. “Outstanding Balance” means the Principal, as reduced or increased pursuant to the terms hereof, for conversion or payment, together with all accrued but unpaid Interest, collection and enforcement costs, and any other fees, expenses or charges due under this Note.

 

(b) The Outstanding Balance shall amortize in six (6) equal monthly installments commencing on the date that is twelve (12) months following the Original Issuance Date and continuing on each monthly anniversary thereafter until paid in full. All amortization payments shall be payable solely in cash. The Outstanding Balance shall be payable upon the earliest of (i) conversion pursuant to Article 3, (ii) redemption pursuant to Section 1.3, or (iii) the Maturity Date. All amortization payments, interest payments and other amounts payable under this Note shall be payable solely in cash until the exchange or conversion of this Note pursuant to Article 3.

 

(c) From and after the occurrence and during the continuance of any Event of Default, the Interest shall be increased upon the election of the Collateral Agent in writing to the Company to the lower of (i) 12% per annum or (ii) the highest amount permitted by applicable law (such interest upon an Event of Default shall be referred to as “Interest” or “Default Interest”). Default Interest shall accrue on the Outstanding Balance from the date of such Event of Default until the date such Event of Default is cured or waived by the Collateral Agent in accordance with the Transaction Documents and shall be payable upon conversion, mandatory repayment, payment following a Change of Control, repayment or maturity of this Note. If such Event of Default is subsequently cured and no other Event of Default then exists (including, without limitation, for the Company’s failure to pay such Default Interest on the applicable Default Interest Payment Date), the Default Interest shall cease to accrue hereunder as of the day immediately following the date of such cure; provided that the Interest as calculated and unpaid at such increased rate during the continuance of such Event of Default shall continue to apply to the extent relating to the days after the occurrence of such Event of Default through and including the date of such cure of such Event of Default.

(a) Exchange. This Note shall become subject to exchange only upon the occurrence of the Nasdaq Uplist and in accordance with the terms set forth herein and the other Transaction Documents. Upon the Nasdaq Uplist, the Outstanding Balance of this Note, including all accrued and unpaid Interest, shall automatically exchange on a dollar-for-dollar basis into Preferred Shares having an aggregate stated value equal to such Outstanding Balance, in accordance with the Transaction Documents. Such exchange shall occur automatically and simultaneously with the exchange of all other Notes then outstanding pursuant to the Transaction Documents. Following such exchange, this Note shall be deemed cancelled in full, and all rights of the Holder shall thereafter be represented solely by the Preferred Shares issued in exchange for this Note and governed by the applicable Certificate of Designation and the Transaction Documents. No exchange notice, surrender of this Note or other action by the Holder shall be required to effect the Uplist Conversion. Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, no automatic exchange of this Note into Preferred Shares shall occur while an Event of Default exists and remains uncured. If an Event of Default has occurred prior to the Nasdaq Uplist, the Company shall not be entitled to require or effect the exchange of this Note unless and until such Event of Default has been fully cured or expressly waived by the applicable Holder.

(c) Nasdaq Uplist Conversion. Upon the Nasdaq Uplist, all outstanding Principal and all accrued but unpaid Interest under this Note shall automatically convert on a dollar-for-dollar basis into Preferred Shares having an aggregate stated value equal to such Principal and accrued but unpaid Interest. Such conversion shall occur automatically and without any action, election, notice, consent, demand or instruction by the Holder. Following such conversion, this Note shall be deemed cancelled in full and all rights of the Holder shall thereafter be represented solely by the Preferred Shares issued pursuant to this Section and governed by the applicable Certificate of Designation and the Transaction Documents.

Section 3.2 Delivery of Conversion Shares.

 

(a) As soon as practicable after any conversion or payment of any amount due hereunder in the form of Preferred Shares in accordance with this Note, and in any event within the Standard Settlement Period thereafter (such date, the “Share Delivery Date”), the Maker shall, at its expense, cause to be issued in the name of and delivered to the Holder, or as the Holder may direct, a certificate or certificates evidencing the number of shares of fully paid and non-assessable Preferred Shares to which the Holder shall be entitled on such conversion or payment (the “Conversion Shares”), as applicable, in the applicable denominations based on the applicable conversion or payment, which certificate or certificates shall be free of restrictive and trading legends (except for any such legends as may be required under the Securities Act). In lieu of delivering physical certificates for the Preferred Shares issuable upon any conversion of this Note, provided the Company’s transfer agent (the “Transfer Agent”) is participating in the Depository Trust Company (“DTC”) DTC Fast Automated Securities Transfer Program (“FAST”) or a similar program, upon request of the Holder, the Company shall cause the Transfer Agent to electronically transmit such Conversion Shares issuable upon conversion of this Note to the Holder (or its designee), by crediting the account of the Holder’s (or such designee’s) broker with DTC through its Deposit Withdrawal At Custodian system (provided that the same time periods herein as for stock certificates shall apply) as instructed by the Holder (or its designee).

 

(b) Obligation Absolute. The Company’s obligations to issue and deliver the Conversion Shares and any Preferred Shares issued pursuant to the Uplist Conversion in accordance with the terms hereof are absolute and unconditional, irrespective of any action or inaction by the Holder to enforce the same, any waiver or consent with respect to any provision hereof, the recovery of any judgment against any Person or any action to enforce the same, or any setoff, counterclaim, recoupment, limitation or termination, or any breach or alleged breach by the Holder or any other Person of any obligation to the Company or any violation or alleged violation of law by the Holder or any other Person, and irrespective of any other circumstance which might otherwise limit such obligation of the Company to the Holder in connection with the issuance of such securities; provided, however, that such delivery shall not operate as a waiver by the Company of any such action the Company may have against the Holder. Upon the Nasdaq Uplist and the automatic Uplist Conversion contemplated by this Article 3, the Company may not refuse or delay such conversion based on any claim that the Holder or anyone associated or affiliated with the Holder has engaged in any violation of law, violation of any agreement to which the Holder or the Company is a party, or for any other reason, unless (i) an injunction issued by a court of competent jurisdiction, on notice to the Holder, restraining or enjoining the conversion of all or part of this Note shall have been sought and obtained, and (ii) the Company posts a surety bond for the benefit of the Holder in an amount equal to 100% of the Outstanding Balance subject to such injunction, which bond shall remain in effect until the completion of the underlying litigation and the proceeds thereof shall be payable to the Holder to the extent awarded by a final judgment. In the absence of such injunction, the Company shall timely complete the Uplist Conversion and issue the applicable Preferred Shares, Conversion Shares and any other securities required to be issued pursuant to this Note and the Transaction Documents.

 

(c) The Company’s Failure to Timely Convert. If the Company shall fail for any reason or for no reason, on or prior to the applicable Share Delivery Date, to issue and deliver the Preferred Shares, Conversion Shares or other securities required to be issued pursuant to the automatic Uplist Conversion contemplated by Article 3 (a “Conversion Failure”), then, in addition to all other remedies available to the Holder, the Holder may, by written notice to the Company, require the Company to redeem, in cash, the portion of the Outstanding Balance affected by such Conversion Failure at a redemption price equal to the Mandatory Default Amount applicable thereto. In addition to the foregoing, if on or prior to the Share Delivery Date, the Company shall fail to issue and deliver any securities required to be issued pursuant to the automatic Uplist Conversion and, as a result of such failure, the Holder acquires (in an open market transaction, stock loan or otherwise) shares of Common Stock corresponding to all or any portion of the number of shares that the Holder was entitled to receive from the Company pursuant to such conversion (a “Buy-In”), then, in addition to all other remedies available to the Holder, the Company shall, within five (5) Trading Days after receipt of the Holder's request, at the Holder's election: (i) pay cash to the Holder in an amount equal to the Holder's total purchase price (including brokerage commissions, stock loan costs and other out-of-pocket expenses, if any) for the shares of Common Stock so acquired (the “Buy-In Price”), at which time the Company's obligation to issue such shares shall terminate; or (ii) promptly honor its obligation to issue the applicable securities and pay cash to the Holder in an amount equal to the excess, if any, of the Buy-In Price over the product of (x) the number of shares required to be issued multiplied by (y) the lowest closing sale price of the Common Stock on any Trading Day during the period commencing on the date of the Nasdaq Uplist and ending on the date of such issuance and payment (the “Buy-In Payment Amount”). Nothing herein shall limit the Holder's right to pursue any other remedies available at law or in equity, including specific performance and injunctive relief, with respect to the Company's failure to timely complete the automatic Uplist Conversion or issue the securities required pursuant to Article 3.

(d) [Reserved].

 

(e) Beneficial Ownership Limitation. The Company shall not effect any conversion of this Note, and a Holder shall not have the right to convert any portion of this Note, to the extent that after giving effect to the conversion set forth on the applicable Notice of Conversion, the Holder (together with the Holder’s Affiliates, and any Persons acting as a group together with the Holder or any of the Holder’s Affiliates) would beneficially own in excess of the Beneficial Ownership Limitation (as defined below) (the “Maximum Percentage”). For purposes of the foregoing sentence, the number of shares of Common Stock beneficially owned by the Holder and its Affiliates shall include the number of shares of Common Stock issuable upon conversion of this Note or conversion of Conversion Shares with respect to which such determination is being made, but shall exclude the number of shares of Common Stock which are issuable upon (i) conversion of the remaining, unconverted principal amount of this Note or related Conversion Shares beneficially owned by the Holder or any of its Affiliates and (ii) exercise or conversion of the unexercised or unconverted portion of any other securities of the Company subject to a limitation on conversion or exercise analogous to the limitation contained herein (including, without limitation, any other notes) beneficially owned by the Holder or any of its Affiliates. Except as set forth in the preceding sentence, for purposes of this Section 3.2(e), beneficial ownership shall be calculated in accordance with Section 13(d) of the Exchange Act and the rules and regulations promulgated thereunder. To the extent that the limitation contained in this Section 3.2(e) applies, the determination of whether this Note is convertible (in relation to other securities owned by the Holder together with any Affiliates) and of which principal amount of this Note is convertible shall be in the sole discretion of the Holder, and the submission of a Notice of Conversion shall be deemed to be the Holder’s determination of whether this Note may be converted (in relation to other securities owned by the Holder together with any Affiliates) and which principal amount of this Note is convertible, in each case subject to the Beneficial Ownership Limitation. To ensure compliance with this restriction, the Holder will be deemed to represent to the Company each time it delivers a Notice of Conversion that such Notice of Conversion has not violated the restrictions set forth in this paragraph and the Company shall have no obligation to verify or confirm the accuracy of such determination. In addition, a determination as to any group status as contemplated above shall be determined in accordance with Section 13(d) of the Exchange Act and the rules and regulations promulgated thereunder. For purposes of this Section 3.2(e), in determining the number of outstanding shares of Common Stock, the Holder may rely on the number of outstanding shares of Common Stock as stated in the most recent of the following: (i) the Company’s most recent periodic or annual report filed with the Commission, as the case may be, (ii) a more recent public announcement by the Company, or (iii) a more recent written notice by the Company or the Company’s transfer agent setting forth the number of shares of Common Stock outstanding. Upon the written or oral request of a Holder, the Company shall within two Trading Days confirm orally and in writing to the Holder the number of shares of Common Stock then outstanding. In any case, the number of outstanding shares of Common Stock shall be determined after giving effect to the conversion or exercise of securities of the Company, including this Note, by the Holder or its Affiliates since the date as of which such number of outstanding shares of Common Stock was reported. The “Beneficial Ownership Limitation” shall be 4.99% of the number of shares of the Common Stock outstanding immediately after giving effect to the issuance of shares of Common Stock issuable upon conversion of this Note or Conversion Shares held by the Holder. The Holder, upon not less than 61 days’ prior notice to the Company, may increase or decrease the Beneficial Ownership Limitation provisions of this Section 3.2(e), provided that the Beneficial Ownership Limitation in no event exceeds 9.99% of the number of shares of the Common Stock outstanding immediately after giving effect to the issuance of shares of Common Stock upon conversion of this Note or conversion of Conversion Shares held by the Holder and the Beneficial Ownership Limitation provisions of this Section 3.2(e) shall continue to apply. Any such increase will not be effective until the 61st day after such notice is delivered to the Company. The Beneficial Ownership Limitation provisions of this paragraph shall be construed and implemented in a manner otherwise than in strict conformity with the terms of this Section 3.2(e) to correct this paragraph (or any portion hereof) which may be defective or inconsistent with the intended Beneficial Ownership Limitation contained herein or to make changes or supplements necessary or desirable to properly give effect to such limitation. The limitations contained in this paragraph shall apply to a successor holder of this Note.

(f) Fractional Shares. The Company shall not issue any fraction of a Preferred Share upon any conversion. If the issuance would result in the issuance of a fraction of a Preferred Share, the Company shall round such fraction of a Preferred Share up to the nearest whole share.

 

(g) No Impairment. The Maker shall not, by amendment of its Articles of Incorporation or through any reorganization, transfer of assets, consolidation, merger, dissolution, issue or sale of securities or any other voluntary action, avoid or seek to avoid the observance or performance of any of the terms to be observed or performed hereunder by the Maker, but will at all times in good faith assist in the carrying out of all the provisions of this Section 3.2 and in the taking of all such action as may be necessary or appropriate in order to protect the conversion rights of the Holder against impairment.

 

(h) Issuance Taxes. The Maker shall pay any and all issuance and other taxes, excluding federal, state, or local income taxes, that may be payable in respect of any issue or delivery of Preferred Shares on conversion of this Note pursuant thereto; provided, however, that the Maker shall not be obligated to pay any transfer taxes resulting from any transfer requested by the Holder in connection with any such conversion.

 

(i) Reservation of Common Stock. The Maker shall, at all times while any Note remains outstanding, reserve and keep available out of its authorized but unissued Common Stock a number of shares equal to 200% of the maximum number of shares that may be issuable pursuant to the Notes based upon an assumed conversion price of the Preferred Shares of $0.03 per share. If at any time the reserve becomes insufficient, the Company shall promptly take all actions necessary to increase its authorized capital and restore compliance with this Section. The reserve obligations set forth herein shall automatically terminate upon the Uplist Conversion.

 

(j) Regulatory Compliance. If any Common Stock to be reserved for the purpose of conversion of this Note requires registration or listing with or approval of any Governmental Authority, national securities exchange or other regulatory body under any federal or state law or regulation or otherwise before such shares may be validly issued or delivered upon conversion, the Maker shall, at its sole cost and expense, in good faith and as expeditiously as possible, secure such registration, listing or approval, as the case may be.

 

Section 3.3 Certain Adjustments. The Conversion Price and number and kind of shares or other securities to be issued upon conversion 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 the Maker or any of its Subsidiaries at any time shall consolidate with or merge into or sell or convey all or substantially all its assets to any other entity, this Note, as to the unpaid principal portion thereof and accrued interest thereon, 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 consolidation, merger, sale or conveyance, upon or with respect to the securities subject to the conversion right immediately prior to such consolidation, merger, sale, or conveyance as determined in good faith by the Board of Directors and reasonably acceptable to the Collateral Agent. The foregoing provision shall similarly apply to successive transactions of a similar nature by any such successor or purchaser. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the anti-dilution provisions of this Section 3.3(a) shall apply to such securities of such successor or purchaser after any such consolidation, merger, sale, or conveyance.

 

 
10

 

 

(b) Reclassification, etc. If the Maker at any time shall, by reclassification or otherwise, change the Preferred Shares into the same or a different number of securities of any class or classes, this Note, as to the unpaid principal portion thereof and accrued interest thereon, shall thereafter be deemed to evidence the right to convert into 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 Preferred Shares 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, all references to Common Stock 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) Round-Down Adjustment. If at any time prior to the Nasdaq Uplist, the Company issues or sells any Common Stock, Preferred Shares, convertible security or other equity security at an effective price per share less than the Conversion Price then in effect, the Conversion Price shall automatically be adjusted to such lower price. For the avoidance of doubt, this anti-dilution protection shall survive the exchange of this Note into Preferred Shares and shall be reflected in the Certificate of Designation applicable to the Preferred Shares. Customary exclusions shall apply for equity incentive plans approved by the Board, strategic partnerships, acquisitions, and other Exempt Issuances. If any outstanding warrant, option, convertible security, preferred stock or other instrument is exercised, exchanged, converted, repriced, reset or amended, or otherwise results in the issuance of Common Stock at an effective price per share lower than the Conversion Price then in effect, the Conversion Price shall automatically be reduced to such lower effective price. Any such adjustment shall occur automatically without further action by the Holder. For the purposes of this Section 3.3(d), Conversion Price is as defined in the Purchase Agreement.

 

Section 3.4 [Reserved].

 

Section 3.5 Rights Upon Fundamental Transaction.

 

(a) Assumption. The Company shall not enter into or be party to a Fundamental Transaction without the consent of the Lead Investors and unless (i) the Person (which may be the Company) formed by, resulting from or surviving any Fundamental Transaction or the Person with which such Fundamental Transaction shall have been entered into (the “Successor Entity”) assumes in writing all of the obligations of the Company under this Note and the other Transaction Documents in accordance with the provisions of this Section 3.5(a) pursuant to written agreements in form and substance satisfactory to the Holder and approved by the Holder prior to such Fundamental Transaction, including agreements to deliver to the Holder in exchange for the Note a security of the Successor Entity evidenced by a written instrument substantially similar in form and substance to the Note, including, without limitation, having Principal and Interest equal to the Principal then outstanding and any accrued and unpaid Interest thereon (if any) of the Note held by the Holder, having similar conversion rights as the Note and having similar ranking and security to the Note, and satisfactory to the Holder and (ii) the Successor Entity (including its parent entity) is a publicly traded corporation whose common stock is quoted on or listed for trading on any eligible market, including The Nasdaq Capital Market, the NYSE American LLC, The Nasdaq Global Select Market, The Nasdaq Global Market or The New York Stock Exchange, Inc. Upon the occurrence of any Fundamental Transaction, the Successor Entity shall succeed to, and be substituted for (so that from and after the date of such Fundamental Transaction, the provisions of this Note and the other Transaction Documents referring to the “Company” or the “Maker” shall refer instead to the Successor Entity), and may exercise every right and power of the Company and shall assume all of the obligations of the Company under this Note and the other Transaction Documents with the same effect as if such Successor Entity had been named as the Company herein. Upon consummation of a Fundamental Transaction, the Successor Entity shall deliver to the Holder confirmation that there shall be issued upon conversion of this Note at any time after the consummation of such Fundamental Transaction, in lieu of the shares of Preferred Shares issuable upon the conversion of the Note prior to such Fundamental Transaction, such shares of the publicly traded common stock (or their equivalent) of the Successor Entity (including its parent entity) which the Holder would have been entitled to receive upon the happening of such Fundamental Transaction had this Note been converted immediately prior to such Fundamental Transaction (without regard to any limitations on the conversion of this Note), as adjusted in accordance with the provisions of this Note. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Holder may elect, at its sole option, by delivery of written notice to the Company, to waive this Section 3.5(a) to permit the Fundamental Transaction without the assumption of this Note. The provisions of this Section 3.5(a) shall apply similarly and equally to successive Fundamental Transactions and shall be applied without regard to any limitations on the conversion of this Note.

 

 
11

 

 

(b) Other Corporate Events. In addition to and not in substitution for any other rights hereunder, prior to the consummation of any Fundamental Transaction pursuant to which holders of shares of Common Stock are entitled to receive securities or other assets with respect to or in exchange for shares of Common Stock (a “Corporate Event”), the Company shall make appropriate provision to ensure that the Holder will thereafter have the right to receive upon a conversion of this Note, at the Holder’s option, (i) in addition to the shares of Common Stock receivable upon such conversion, such securities or other assets to which the Holder would have been entitled with respect to such shares of Common Stock had such shares of Common Stock been held by the Holder upon the consummation of such Corporate Event (without taking into account any limitations or restrictions on the convertibility of this Note) or (ii) in lieu of the shares of Common Stock otherwise receivable upon such conversion, such securities or other assets received by the holders of shares of Common Stock in connection with the consummation of such Corporate Event in such amounts as the Holder would have been entitled to receive had this Note initially been issued with conversion rights for the form of such consideration (as opposed to shares of Common Stock) at a conversion price for such consideration commensurate with the Conversion Price (as defined in the Purchase Agreement). Provision made pursuant to the preceding sentence shall be in a form and substance satisfactory to the Holder. The provisions of this Section 3.5(b) shall apply similarly and equally to successive Corporate Events and shall be applied without regard to any limitations on the conversion of this Note.

 

(c) Prepayment Following a Change of Control. No later than 15 days following the entry by the Company into an agreement for a Change of Control but in no event prior to the public announcement of such Change of Control, the Maker shall deliver written notice describing the entry into such agreement (“Notice of Change of Control”) to the Holder. Within 30 days after receipt of a Notice of Change of Control, the Holder may require the Maker to prepay, effective immediately prior to the consummation of such Change of Control, an amount equal to 120% of the then Outstanding Balance (the “COC Repayment Price”), by delivering written notice thereof (“Notice of Prepayment at Option of Holder Upon Change of Control”) to the Maker.

 

(d) Payment of COC Repayment Price. Upon the Maker’s receipt of a Notice(s) of Prepayment at Option of Holder Upon Change of Control from the Holder, the Maker shall deliver the COC Repayment Price to the Holder immediately prior to the consummation of the Change of Control; provided, that the Holder’s original Note shall have been so delivered to the Maker.
