Item 1.01 Entry into a Material Definitive Agreement

 

On June 26, 2025, Safe and Green Development Corporation (the “Company”) entered into a Securities Purchase Agreement, dated June 26, 2025 (the “Purchase Agreement”), with an institutional investor (the “Investor”), pursuant to which the Company issued to the Investor a 10% convertible debenture (the “Debenture”) in the principal amount of $172,500 in a private placement offering (the “Offering”). The Debenture was sold to the Investor for a purchase price of $155,000, representing an original issue discount of ten percent (10%). In connection with the closing of the first tranche, the Company paid $5,000 as a non-accountable fee to the Investor to cover its accounting fees, legal fees and other transactional costs and issued to the Investor and its designee an aggregate total of 100,000 shares of its restricted common stock (the “Commitment Shares”) as described in the Purchase Agreement.

 

The Debenture matures twelve months from its date of issuance and bears interest at a rate of 10% per annum payable on the maturity date. The Debenture is unsecured and subordinated to the outstanding 10% Original Issue Discount Secured Convertible Debentures issued to the Arena Investors (as defined below) by the Company. The Debenture is convertible, at the option of the holder, at any time on or after the earlier of (i) March 23, 2026 or (ii) the date that the Arena Debentures (as defined below) are extinguished, into such number of shares of common stock of the Company equal to the principal amount of the Debenture plus all accrued and unpaid interest at a conversion price equal to the closing price of the Company’s common stock on the trading day immediately preceding the conversion date, subject to adjustment for any stock splits, stock dividends, recapitalizations and similar events, as well as anti-dilution price protection provisions that are subject to a floor price of $0.19 (the “Floor Price”).

 

The Debenture is redeemable by the Company at a redemption price equal to 110% of the sum of the principal amount to be redeemed plus accrued interest, if any. While the Debenture is outstanding, if the Company receives cash proceeds of more than $500,000 (“Minimum Threshold”) in the aggregate from any source or series of related or unrelated sources, the Company shall, within two (2) business days of Company’s receipt of such proceeds, inform the holder of such receipt, following which the holder shall have the right in its sole discretion to require the Company to immediately apply up to 100% of all proceeds received by the Company (from any source except with respect to proceeds from the issuance of equity or debt to officers and directors of the Company) after the Minimum Threshold is reached to repay the outstanding amounts owed under the Debenture.

 

The Debenture contains customary events of default. If an event of default occurs, until it is cured, the Investor may increase the interest rate applicable to the Debenture to the lesser of eighteen percent (18%) per annum and the maximum interest rate allowable under applicable law and accelerate the full indebtedness under the Debenture, in an amount equal to 110% of the outstanding principal amount and accrued and unpaid interest. Subject to limited exceptions set forth in the Debenture, the Debenture prohibits the Company from entering into a Variable Rate Transaction (as defined in the Debenture) or incurring any new indebtedness that is senior to the Debenture or secured by the assets of the Company until the Debenture is paid in full.

 

Without giving effect to the Exchange Cap discussed below, assuming we converted the Debenture and all accrued interest in full into common stock at the Floor Price (assuming the Debenture accrued interest for a period one year), approximately 907,894 shares of our common stock would be issuable upon conversion.

 

The Purchase Agreement provides the Investor with “piggy-back” registration rights, if the Company files with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) a registration statement covering any of its securities, to use its reasonable efforts to effect the registration of the maximum number of Registrable Securities (as defined in the Purchase Agreement) as shall be permitted to be included thereon in accordance with applicable SEC rules.

 

The Purchase Agreement contains customary representations, warranties, agreements and conditions to completing future sale transactions, indemnification rights and obligations of the parties. Among other things, the Investor represented to the Company, that it is an “accredited investor” (as such term is defined in Rule 501(a) of Regulation D under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”)), and the Company sold the securities in reliance upon an exemption from registration contained in Section 4(a)(2) of the Securities Act and/or Regulation D promulgated thereunder.

The number of shares of the Company’s common stock that may be issued pursuant to the Purchase Agreement (including the Commitment Shares) and upon conversion of the Debenture is subject to an exchange cap (the “Exchange Cap”) of 19.99% of the outstanding number of shares of the Corporation’s common stock on the closing date, of which at least 603,362 shares of Common Stock shall be allocated to the transactions contemplated by the Purchase Agreement, unless shareholder approval to exceed the Exchange Cap is approved. The Purchase Agreement provides that the Company shall hold a special meeting of shareholders within seventy-five (75) calendar days for the purpose of obtaining shareholder approval and use its reasonable best efforts to obtain such Shareholder Approval.

 

In connection with the Offering, the Company entered into a Waiver and Consent (the “Arena Waiver”) with Arena Business Solutions Global SPC II, LTD (“Arena Business Solutions Global”), effective June 17, 2025, pursuant to which Arena Business Solutions Global agreed to a one-time waiver and consent for a period of thirty days of any rights it has under the Securities Purchase Agreement by and between it and the Company, dated as of August 12, 2024, as amended on August 30, 2024 and November 15, 2024, to permit the Company to enter into a single variable rate transaction during such thirty day period. In consideration for the Arena Waiver, the Company agreed to issue to Arena Business Solutions Global as a commitment fee, a five-year pre-funded warrant exercisable for 300,000 shares of its common stock at a strike price of $0.0001 per share (the “Pre-Funded Warrant”).

 

In connection with the Offering, the Company also entered into a Waiver and Consent (the “Arena Debenture Waiver”) with Arena Special Opportunities (Offshore) Master, LP, Arena Special Opportunities Partners III, LP, and Arena Special Opportunities Fund, LP (collectively, the “Arena Holders”), effective June 26, 2025, pursuant to which the Arena Holders waived and consented to certain defaults arising under the Securities Purchase Agreement, dated as of August 12, 2024, as amended by the First Amendment dated April 4, 2025 (the “Arena Purchase Agreement”) by and between the Company and the Arena Investors, the 10% Original Issue Discount Secured Convertible Debentures due February 12, 2026 and dated August 12, 2024 in the aggregate principal amount of $142,360.19 issued to the Arena Investors (the “August 2024 Debentures”), the 10% Original Issue Discount Secured Convertible Debentures due April 25, 2026 and dated October 25, 2024 in the aggregate principal amount of $1,249,356.01 issued to the Arena Investors (the “October 2024 Debentures”) and the 10% Original Issue Discount Secured Convertible Debentures due October 4, 2026 and dated April 4, 2025 in the aggregate principal amount of $578,460.29 issued to the Arena Investors (the “April 2025 Debentures” and together with the August 2024 Debentures and the October 2024 Debentures, the “Arena Debentures”) and the Registration Rights Agreement, dated April 4, 2025 (the “Registration Rights Agreement”), with the Arena Investors relating to, among other things, obligations as contemplated by the Arena Purchase Agreement, the Registration Rights Agreement and the Arena Debentures to have a registration statement (the “Registration Statement”) on file with the SEC and declared effective by the time periods set forth in such documents. The waiver and consent terminates as of July 19, 2025, if the Registration Statement is not filed prior to that date.

 

In consideration for the Arena Debenture Waiver, the Company agreed to increase the amounts owing under the Arena Debentures from $1,874,723.51 to $1,921,092.60, an increase of 2.5% and agreed to issue to each Arena Holder on or before July 18, 2025, an amount of restricted shares of the Company’s common stock that is equal to five percent (5%) of the aggregate principal amount of each Arena Debenture (as increased), calculated based upon the lowest single day volume weighted average price of the Company’s common stock in the five trading days preceding June 26, 2025.

 

The foregoing descriptions of the Purchase Agreement, the Debenture, the Arena Waiver, the Pre-Funded Warrant and Area Debenture Waiver are qualified in their entirety by reference to the full text of such agreements, copies of which are attached hereto as Exhibit 10.1, 4.1, 10.2, 4.2 and 10.3, respectively, and each of which is incorporated herein in its entirety by reference. The representations, warranties and covenants contained in such agreements were made only for purposes of such agreements and as of specific dates, were solely for the benefit of the parties to such agreements and may be subject to limitations agreed upon by the contracting parties.

SAFE AND GREEN DEVELOPMENT CORPORATION

 

CONVERTIBLE DEBENTURE

 

Issuance Date: June 26, 2025 Principal Amount: $172,500.00

 

FOR VALUE RECEIVED, SAFE AND GREEN DEVELOPMENT CORPORATION, a corporation organized and existing under the laws of the State of Delaware (the “Company”), hereby promises to pay to PEAK ONE OPPORTUNITY FUND, L.P., having its address at 333 South Hibiscus Drive, Miami Beach, FL 33139, or its assigns (the “Holder”), the initial principal sum of One Hundred Seventy-Two Thousand Five Hundred and 00/100 Dollars ($172,500.00) (subject to adjustment as provided herein, the “Principal Amount”) and any accrued and unpaid interest and other fees under this Debenture on the date that is twelve (12) calendar months after the Issuance Date (the “Maturity Date”), subject to the terms of this Debenture. The Company has the option to redeem this Debenture prior to the Maturity Date pursuant to Section 2(b). The Holder has the option to cause any outstanding principal and accrued interest, if any, on this Debenture to be converted into Common Stock of the Company, par value $0.001 per share (the “Common Stock”) pursuant to the terms of this Debenture. The Company shall pay interest on the unpaid Principal Amount hereof at the rate of ten percent (10%) per annum from the Issuance Date until the same becomes due and payable, whether at maturity or upon acceleration or by prepayment or otherwise, as further provided herein, provided, however, that the initial six (6) months of interest (equal to $8,625.00) shall be guaranteed and earned in full as of the Issuance Date).

 

This Debenture is being issued pursuant to that securities purchase agreement dated as of June 26, 2025, between the Company and the Holder (the “Purchase Agreement”). Capitalized terms used but not defined herein shall have the meanings set forth in the Purchase Agreement. This Debenture is also subject to the provisions of the Purchase Agreement and further is subject to the following additional provisions:

 

1. This Debenture has been issued subject to investment representations of the original purchaser hereof and may be transferred or exchanged only in compliance with the Securities Act and other applicable state and foreign securities laws. The Holder may transfer or assign this Debenture (or any part thereof) without the prior consent of the Company, and the Company shall cooperate with any such transfer. In the event of any proposed transfer of this Debenture, the Company may require, prior to issuance of a new Debenture in the name of such other Person, that it receive reasonable transfer documentation including legal opinions that the issuance of the Debenture in such other name does not and will not cause a violation of the Securities Act or any applicable state or foreign securities laws or is exempt from the registration requirements of the Securities Act. Prior to due presentment for transfer of this Debenture to which the Company has consented, the Company and any agent of the Company may treat the Person in whose name this Debenture is duly registered on the Company’s books and records of outstanding debt securities and obligations (“Debenture Register”) as the owner hereof for the purpose of receiving payment as herein provided and for all other purposes, whether or not this Debenture be overdue, and neither the Company nor any such agent shall be affected by notice to the contrary.

 


 

2. Conversion at Holder’s Option; Redemption at Company’s Option.

 

a. The Holder is entitled to, at any time or from time to time on or after the earlier of (i) March 23, 2026 or (ii) the date that the convertible debentures in the original principal amounts of $1,388,889, $2,222,222, and $555,555 issued by the Company on or around August 12, 2024 (the “First Note”), October 25, 2024 (the “Second Note”), and April 4, 2025 (the “Third Note” and collectively with the First Note and Second Note, the “Arena Notes”), are extinguished, convert the Conversion Amount (as defined below) into Conversion Shares, at a conversion price for each share of Common Stock (the “Conversion Price”) equal to the closing price of the Common Stock on the Principal Market on the Trading Day immediately preceding the Conversion Date, subject to equitable adjustments resulting from any stock splits, stock dividends, recapitalizations or similar events. The Company shall issue irrevocable instructions to its Transfer Agent regarding conversions such that the Transfer Agent shall be authorized and instructed to issue Conversion Shares upon its receipt of a Notice of Conversion without further approval or authorization from the Company. For purposes of this Debenture, the “Conversion Amount” shall mean the sum of (A) all or any portion of the outstanding Principal Amount of this Debenture, as designated by the Holder upon exercise of its right of conversion plus (B) any interest, pursuant to Section 10 or otherwise, that has accrued on the portion of the Principal Amount that has been designated for payment pursuant to (A).

 

Conversion shall be effectuated by delivering by facsimile, email or other delivery method to the Transfer Agent of the completed form of conversion notice attached hereto as Annex A (the “Notice of Conversion”), executed by the Holder of the Debenture evidencing such Holder’s intention to convert this Debenture or a specified portion hereof. No fractional shares of Common Stock or scrip representing fractions of shares will be issued on conversion, but the number of shares issuable shall be rounded to the nearest whole share. The Holder may, at its election, deliver a Notice of Conversion to either the Company or the Transfer Agent. The date on which notice of conversion is given (the “Conversion Date”) shall be deemed to be the date on which the Company or the Transfer Agent, as the case may be, receives by fax, email or other means of delivery used by the Holder the Notice of Conversion (such receipt being evidenced by electronic confirmation of delivery by facsimile or email or confirmation of delivery by such other delivery method used by the Holder) ); provided, that any notice received after 5pm (ET) shall be deemed to be a Conversion Date on the next business day. Delivery of a Notice of Conversion to the Transfer Agent may be given by the Holder by facsimile, or by delivery to the Transfer Agent at the address set forth in the Transfer Agent Instruction Letter (or such other contact facsimile number, email or street address as may be designated by the Transfer Agent to the Holder). Delivery of a Notice of Conversion to the Company shall be given by the Holder pursuant to the notice provisions set forth in Section 10 of the Agreement. The Conversion Shares must be delivered to the Holder within two (2) business days from the date of delivery of the Notice of Conversion to the Transfer Agent or Company, as the case may be (the “Deadline”). Conversion shares shall be delivered by DWAC if such Conversion Shares bear no restrictive legend, so long as the Company is then DWAC Operational, unless the Holder expressly requests delivery in certificated form or the Conversion Shares are in the form of Restricted Stock and are required to bear a restrictive legended. Conversion Shares shall be deemed delivered (i) if delivered by DWAC, upon deposit into the Holder’s brokerage account, or (ii) if delivered in certificated form, upon the Holder’s actual receipt of the Conversion Shares in certificated form at the address specified by the Holder in the Notice of Conversion, as confirmed by written receipt. All expenses incurred by Holder, for the issuance and clearing of the Common Stock into which this Debenture is convertible into, shall immediately and automatically be added to the balance of the Debenture at such time as the expenses are incurred by Holder. In addition to the foregoing, if on or prior to the Deadline the Company shall fail to issue and deliver such Conversion Shares and credit the Holder’s balance account with DTC for the number of Conversion Shares to which the Holder is entitled upon the Holder’s exercise hereunder or pursuant to the Company’s obligation pursuant to clause (ii) below, and if on or after such Trading Day the Holder purchases (in an open market transaction or otherwise) shares of Common Stock to deliver in satisfaction of a sale by the Holder of shares of Common Stock issuable upon such exercise that the Holder anticipated receiving from the Company, then the Company shall, within two (2) Trading Days after the Holder’s request and in the Holder’s discretion, either (i) pay cash to the Holder in an amount equal to the Holder’s total purchase price (including brokerage commissions and other reasonable and customary out-of-pocket expenses, if any) for the shares of Common Stock so purchased (the “Buy-In Price”), at which point the Company’s obligation to deliver such Conversion Shares and credit such Holder’s balance account with DTC for such Conversion Shares shall terminate, or (ii) promptly honor its obligation to deliver to the Holder such Conversion Shares and credit such Holder’s balance account with DTC and pay cash to the Holder in an amount equal to the excess (if any) of the Buy-In Price over the product of (A) such number of shares of Common Stock, times (B) the closing sales price of the Common Stock on the date of exercise. Nothing shall limit the Holder’s right to pursue any other remedies available to it hereunder, at law or in equity, including, without limitation, a decree of specific performance and/or injunctive relief with respect to the Company’s failure to timely deliver the Conversion Shares and credit the Holder’s balance account with DTC for the number of Conversion Shares to which the Holder is entitled upon the conversion of this Debenture as required pursuant to the terms hereof.

 

If at any time the Conversion Price as determined hereunder for any conversion would be less than the par value of the Common Stock, then at the sole discretion of the Holder, the Conversion Price hereunder may equal such par value for such conversion and the Conversion Amount for such conversion may be increased to include Additional Principal, where “Additional Principal” means such additional amount to be added to the Conversion Amount to the extent necessary to cause the number of conversion shares issuable upon such conversion to equal the same number of conversion shares as would have been issued had the Conversion Price not been adjusted by the Holder to the par value price.

 

2


 

Notwithstanding the foregoing, unless the Holder delivers to the Company written notice at least sixty-one (61) days prior to the effective date of such notice that the provisions of this paragraph (the “Limitation on Ownership”) shall be adjusted to 9.99% with respect to the Holder, in no event shall a holder of Debenture have the right to convert Debenture into, nor shall the Company issue to such Holder, shares of Common Stock to the extent that such conversion would result in the Holder and its affiliates together beneficially owning more than 4.99% of the then issued and outstanding shares of Common Stock. For purposes hereof, beneficial ownership shall be determined in accordance with Section 13(d) of the Exchange Act and Regulation 13D-G under the Exchange Act. Notwithstanding anything in this Debenture to the contrary, and in addition to the beneficial ownership limitations provided herein, the sum of the number of shares of Common Stock that may be issued under the Purchase Agreement (including the Commitment Shares (as defined in the Purchase Agreement) (the “Commitment Shares”) and under the Debenture (as defined in the Purchase Agreement) shall be limited to the Exchange Cap (as defined in the Purchase Agreement) (the “Exchange Cap”) unless Shareholder Approval (as defined in the Purchase Agreement) (“Shareholder Approval”) is obtained by the Company to issue more than the Exchange Cap.

 

b. So long as no Event of Default (as defined in Section 10) shall have occurred and be continuing (whether or not such Event of Default has been declared by the Holder), the Company may at its option call for redemption all or part of the Debenture, with the exception of any portion thereof which is the subject of a previously-delivered Notice of Conversion, as follows:

 

(i) The Debenture called for redemption shall be redeemable by the Company, upon not more than two (2) calendar days written notice, for an amount (the “Redemption Price”) equal to One Hundred Ten percent (110%) of the sum of the Principal Amount so redeemed plus accrued interest, if any. The date upon which the Debenture is redeemed and paid shall be referred to as the “Redemption Date” (and, in the case of multiple redemptions of less than the entire outstanding Principal Amount, each such date shall be a Redemption Date with respect to the corresponding redemption).

 

(ii) [Reserved]

 

(iii) [Reserved]

 

(iv) On the Redemption Date, the Company shall cause the Holder whose Debenture have been presented for redemption to be issued payment of the Redemption Price. In the case of a partial redemption, the Company shall also issue new Debenture to the Holder for the Principal Amount remaining outstanding after the Redemption Date promptly after the Holder’s presentation of the Debenture called for redemption.

 

(v) To effect a redemption the Company shall provide a written notice to the Holder(s) not more than two (2) calendar days prior to the Redemption Date (the “Redemption Notice”), setting forth the following:

 

1. the Redemption Date;

 

2. the Redemption Price;

 

3. the aggregate Principal Amount of the Debenture being called for redemption; and

 

3


 

4. in the case of a partial redemption, a statement advising the Holder that after the Redemption Date a substitute Debenture will be issued by the Company after deduction the portion thereof called for redemption, at no cost to the Holder, if the Holder so requests.

 

Notwithstanding the foregoing, in the event the Company issues a Redemption Notice but fails to fund the redemption on the Redemption Date, then such Redemption Notice shall be null and void, and (i) the Holder(s) shall be entitled to convert the Debenture previously the subject of the Redemption Notice, and (ii) the Company may not redeem such Debenture for at least thirty (30) days following the intended Redemption Date that was voided, and the Company shall be required to pay to the Holder(s) the Redemption Price simultaneously with the issuance of a Redemption Notice in connection with any subsequent redemption pursued by the Company.

 

3. If the Company, at any time while this Debenture or any amounts due hereunder are outstanding, issues, sells or grants any option to purchase, or sells or grants any right to reprice, or otherwise disposes of, or issues (or announces any sale, grant or any option to purchase or other disposition), any Common Stock or other securities convertible into, exercisable for, or otherwise entitle any person or entity the right to acquire, shares of Common Stock (including, without limitation, upon any issuance pursuant to an Equity Line of Credit (as defined in this Debenture)), in each or any case at an effective price per share that is lower than the then Conversion Price (such lower price, the “Base Conversion Price” and such issuances, collectively, a “Dilutive Issuance”) (it being agreed that if the holder of the Common Stock or other securities so issued shall at any time, whether by operation of purchase price adjustments, reset provisions, floating conversion, exercise or exchange prices or otherwise, or due to warrants, options or rights per share which are issued in connection with such issuance, be entitled to receive shares of Common Stock at an effective price per share that is lower than the Conversion Price, such issuance shall be deemed to have occurred for less than the Conversion Price on such date of the Dilutive Issuance), then the Conversion Price shall be reduced, at the option of the Holder which may be exercised at any time on or after the date that an Event of Default under this Debenture occurs, to a price equal to the Base Conversion Price which in no event shall be less than the Floor Price (as defined in this Debenture) as further provided in this Debenture. For the avoidance of doubt, the Holder shall be entitled, at all times on or after the date that an Event of Default under this Debenture occurs, to the Base Conversion Price for each Dilutive Issuance that has occurred on or after the Issuance Date. “Variable Rate Transaction” means a transaction in which the Company (i) issues or sells any debt or equity securities that are convertible into, exchangeable or exercisable for, or include the right to receive, shares of Common Stock either (A) at a conversion price, exercise price or exchange rate or other price that is based upon, and/or varies with, the trading prices of or quotations for the shares of Common Stock at any time after the initial issuance of such debt or equity securities or (B) with a conversion, exercise or exchange price that is subject to being reset at some future date after the initial issuance of such debt or equity security or upon the occurrence of specified or contingent events directly or indirectly related to the business of the Company or the market for the Common Stock or (ii) enters into any agreement, including, but not limited to, an Equity Line of Credit (as defined in this Debenture), whereby the Company may issue securities at a future determined price. The Holder shall be entitled to obtain injunctive relief against the Company to preclude any such issuance, which remedy shall be in addition to any right to collect damages If the Company enters into a Variable Rate Transaction, the Company shall be deemed to have issued Common Stock at the lowest possible price per share at which such securities could be issued in connection with such Variable Rate Transaction. Such adjustment shall be made at the option of the Holder whenever such Common Stock or other securities are issued. Upon the occurrence of each adjustment or readjustment of the Conversion Price as a result of the events described in Section 3 of this Debenture, the Company shall, at its expense and within one (1) calendar day after the occurrence of each respective adjustment or readjustment of the Conversion Price, compute such adjustment or readjustment and prepare and furnish to the Holder a certificate setting forth (i) the Conversion Price in effect at such time based upon the Dilutive Issuance, (ii) the number of shares of Common Stock and the amount, if any, of other securities or property which at the time would be received upon conversion of the Debenture, (iii) the detailed facts upon which such adjustment or readjustment is based, and (iv) copies of the documentation (including but not limited to relevant transaction documents) that evidences the adjustment or readjustment. In addition, the Company shall, within one (1) calendar day after each written request from the Holder, furnish to such Holder a like certificate setting forth (i) the Conversion Price in effect at such time based upon the Dilutive Issuance, (ii) the number of shares of Common Stock and the amount, if any, of other securities or property which at the time would be received upon conversion of the Debenture, (iii) the detailed facts upon which such adjustment or readjustment is based, and (iv) copies of the documentation (including but not limited to relevant transaction documents) that evidences the adjustment or readjustment. For the avoidance of doubt, each adjustment or readjustment of the Conversion Price as a result of the events described in Section 3 of this Debenture shall occur without any action by the Holder and regardless of whether the Company complied with the notification provisions in Section 3 of this Debenture. Notwithstanding the foregoing, this Section 3 of this Debenture shall not apply to an Exempt Issuance (as defined in this Debenture). “Exempt Issuance” shall mean (i) securities issued (other than for cash) in connection with a merger, acquisition, consolidation, or spin-off, (ii) securities issued in connection with bona fide strategic license agreements, consulting agreements, or other partnering or technology development arrangements so long as such issuances are not for the purpose of raising capital, (iii) Common Stock issued or the issuance or grants of options to purchase Common Stock pursuant to the Company’s incentive plan and option plans and employee equity purchase plans outstanding as they exist on the date of the Purchase Agreement or as subsequently approved by the Board, (iv) any Common Stock (for the avoidance of doubt, this shall not include Common Stock Equivalents (as defined below)) issued to the finders, placement agents or their respective designees for the transactions contemplated by the Purchase Agreement, (v) any Common Stock (for the avoidance of doubt, this shall not include Common Stock Equivalents) issued to the finders, placement agents or their respective designees for subsequent offerings or placements, and (vi) securities issued pursuant to the conversion or exercise of convertible or exercisable securities issued or outstanding prior to the date of the Purchase Agreement (so long as the conversion or exercise price in such securities are not amended to a lower price and/or adversely affect the Holder), except with respect to any securities issued to Holder or Investments (as defined in the Purchase Agreement). “Common Stock Equivalents” means any securities of the Company that would entitle the holder thereof to acquire at any time Common Stock, including without limitation any debt, preferred stock, rights, options, warrants or other instrument that is at any time convertible into or exercisable or exchangeable for, or otherwise entitles the holder thereof to receive, Common Stock. Notwithstanding anything in this Section 3 of this Debenture to the contrary, Holder may only enforce its rights under this Section 3 of this Debenture on or after the date that an Event of Default under this Debenture occurs, provided, however, that at such time the Holder shall be entitled to each Dilutive Issuance that has occurred on or after the Issuance Date.

Notwithstanding anything in this Section 3 of this Debenture to the contrary, the Holder shall not be entitled to utilize a Base Conversion Price of less than $0.19 per share (the “Floor Price”, subject to appropriate adjustment for any stock dividend, stock split, stock combination, rights offerings, reclassification or similar transaction that proportionately decreases or increases the Common Stock). Further, beginning on the Issuance Date and continuing until the Debenture is fully converted or repaid in the entirety, the Company shall not issue Common Stock at a cost basis of less than the Floor Price unless written consent of the Holder is obtained by the Company.

 

4.  No provision of this Debenture shall alter or impair the obligation of the Company, which is absolute and unconditional to convert this Debenture into Common Stock, at the time, place, and rate herein prescribed. This Debenture is a direct obligation of the Company.

 

5. If, at any time after the Issuance Date, there shall be any merger, consolidation, exchange of shares, recapitalization, reorganization, or other similar event, as a result of which shares of Common Stock of the Company shall be changed into the same or a different number of shares of another class or classes of stock or securities of the Company or another entity, or in case of any sale or conveyance of all or substantially all of the assets of the Company, then the Holder of this Debenture shall thereafter have the right to receive upon conversion of this Debenture, upon the basis and upon the terms and conditions specified herein and in lieu of the shares of Common Stock immediately theretofore issuable upon conversion, such stock, securities or assets which the Holder would have been entitled to receive in such transaction had this Debenture been converted in full immediately prior to such transaction (without regard to any limitations on conversion set forth herein), and in any such case appropriate provisions shall be made with respect to the rights and interests of the Holder of this Debenture to the end that the provisions hereof (including, without limitation, provisions for adjustment of the Conversion Price and of the number of shares issuable upon conversion of the Debenture) shall thereafter be applicable, as nearly as may be practicable in relation to any securities or assets thereafter deliverable upon the conversion hereof. The Company shall not effectuate any transaction described in this Section 5 unless (a) it first gives at least fifteen (15) days prior written notice of the record date of the special meeting of shareholders to approve, or if there is no such record date, the consummation of, such merger, consolidation, exchange of shares, recapitalization, reorganization or other similar event or sale of assets (during which time the Holder shall be entitled to convert this Debenture), (b) the resulting successor or acquiring entity (if not the Company) assumes by written instrument all of the obligations of this Debenture, and (c) the Holder provides written consent to the Company with respect to the consummation of the transaction described in this Section 5. The above provisions shall similarly apply to successive consolidations, mergers, sales, transfers or share exchanges. The requirement to provide notice shall be satisfied if a filing is made on the edgar system.

 

6. If, at any time while any portion of this Debenture remains outstanding, the Company effectuates a forward stock split or reverse stock split of its Common Stock or issues a dividend on its Common Stock consisting of shares of Common Stock or otherwise recapitalizes its Common Stock, the Conversion Price shall be equitably adjusted to reflect such action.

 

7. All payments contemplated hereby to be made “in cash” shall be made by wire transfer of immediately available funds in such coin or currency of the United States of America as at the time of payment is legal tender for payment of public and private debts. All payments of cash and each delivery of shares of Common Stock issuable to the Holder as contemplated hereby shall be made to the Holder to an account designated by the Holder to the Company and if the Holder has not designated any such accounts at the address last appearing on the Debenture Register of the Company as designated in writing by the Holder from time to time; except that the Holder may designate, by notice to the Company, a different delivery address for any one or more specific payments or deliveries.

8. The Holder of the Debenture, by acceptance hereof, agrees that this Debenture is being acquired for investment and that such Holder will not offer, sell or otherwise dispose of this Debenture or the Shares of Common Stock issuable upon conversion thereof except in compliance with the terms of the Purchase Agreement and under circumstances which will not result in a violation of the Securities Act or any applicable state Blue Sky or foreign laws or similar laws relating to the sale of securities.

 

9. This Debenture shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of the State of Delaware. Each of the parties consents to the exclusive jurisdiction and venue of the state located in Miami-Dade County, Florida and/or federal courts located in Miami-Dade County, Florida in connection with any dispute arising under this Agreement, and each waives any objection based on forum non conveniens. This provision is intended to be a “mandatory” forum selection clause and governed by and interpreted consistent with Florida law (Delaware law governing all other, substantive matters). Each of the parties hereby consents to the exclusive jurisdiction and venue of any state or federal court having its situs in Miami-Dade County, Florida, and each waives any objection based on forum non conveniens. To the extent determined by such court, the Company shall reimburse the Holder for any reasonable legal fees and disbursements incurred by the Holder in enforcement of or protection of any of its rights under this Debenture or the Purchase Agreement.

 

10. The following shall constitute an “Event of Default”:

 

a. The Company fails in the payment of principal and/or interest (to the extent that interest is imposed under this Section 10) on this Debenture as required to be paid in cash hereunder, at the Maturity Date, upon acceleration, or otherwise, or fails to pay the Amortization Payment (as defined in this Debenture) when due as provided in Section 23 of this Debenture; or

 

b. Any of the representations or warranties made by the Company herein, in the Purchase Agreement or in any certificate or financial or other written statements heretofore or hereafter furnished by the Company to the Holder in connection with the issuance of this Debenture, shall be false or misleading (including without limitation by way of the misstatement of a material fact or the omission of a material fact) in any material respect at the time made (as to which no cure period shall apply); or

 

c. The Company (i) fails to timely file required SEC reports when due (including extensions), becomes, is deemed to be or asserts that it is a “shell company” at any time for purposes of the 1933 Act, and Rule 144 promulgated thereunder or otherwise takes any action, or refrains from taking any action, the result of which makes Rule 144 under the 1933 unavailable to the Holder for the sale of their Securities, (ii) fails to issue shares of Common Stock to the Holder or to cause its Transfer Agent to issue shares of Common Stock upon exercise by the Holder of the conversion rights of the Holder in accordance with the terms of this Debenture, (iii) fails to transfer or to cause its Transfer Agent to transfer any certificate for shares of Common Stock issued to the Holder upon conversion of this Debenture as and when required by this Debenture and such transfer is otherwise lawful, (iv) fails to remove any restrictive legend or to cause its Transfer Agent to transfer any certificate or any shares of Common Stock issued to the Holder upon conversion of this Debenture as and when required by the relevant Transaction Document(s) and such legend removal is otherwise lawful, or (v) the Company fails to perform or observe any of its obligations under the Section 5 of the Agreement or under the Transfer Agent Instruction Letter (no cure period shall apply in the case of clauses (i) through (v) above, inclusive); or d. The Company fails to perform or observe, in any material respect (i) any other covenant, term, provision, condition, agreement or obligation set forth in the Debenture, (subject to a cure period of five (5) days other than in the case of a failure under Section 5 hereof, as to which no cure period shall apply), or (ii) any other covenant, term, provision, condition, agreement or obligation of the Company set forth in the Purchase Agreement and such failure shall continue uncured for a period of either (1) five (5) days after the occurrence of the Company’s failure under Section 4(d), (e), (f), (g) or (h) of the Purchase Agreement, or (2) ten (10) days after the occurrence of the Company’s failure under any other provision of the Purchase Agreement not otherwise specifically addressed in the Events of Default set forth in this Section 10; or

Then, or at any time thereafter, the Company shall immediately give written notice of the occurrence of such Event of Default to the Holder, and in each and every such case, unless such Event of Default shall have been waived in writing by the Holder of the Debenture (which waiver shall not be deemed to be a waiver of any subsequent default), then at the option of the Holder and in the discretion of the Holder, take any or all of the following actions: (i) pursue remedies against the Company in accordance with any of the Holder’s rights, (ii) increase the interest rate applicable to the Debenture to the lesser of eighteen percent (18%) per annum and the maximum interest rate allowable under applicable law (the “Default Interest”) (provided, however, that the interest rate shall revert back to ten percent (10%) per annum if the respective Event of Default is capable of being cured and actually cured after the occurrence of such Event of Default, but such reduced rate shall only take effect as of the cure date of the respective Event of Default), and (iii) accelerate the full indebtedness under this Debenture, in an amount equal to one hundred ten percent (110%) of the outstanding Principal Amount and accrued and unpaid interest (the “Acceleration Amount”), whereupon the Acceleration Amount shall be immediately due and payable, without presentment, demand, protest or notice of any kinds, all of which are hereby expressly waived, anything contained herein, in the Purchase Agreement or in any other note or instruments to the contrary notwithstanding. In the case of an Event of Default under Section 10(d)(ii), the Holder may either (i) declare the Acceleration Amount to exclude the Conversion Amount that is the subject of the Event of Default, in which case the Acceleration Amount shall be based on the remaining Principal Amount and accrued interest (if any), in which case the Company shall continue to be obligated to issue the Conversion Shares, or (ii) declare the Acceleration Amount to include the Conversion Amount that is the subject of the Event of Default, in which case the Acceleration Amount shall be based on the full Principal Amount, including the Conversion Amount, and accrued interest (if any), whereupon the Notice of Conversion shall be deemed withdrawn. At its option, the Holder may elect to convert the Debenture pursuant to Section 2 notwithstanding the prior declaration of a default and acceleration, in the sole discretion of such Holder. The Holder may immediately enforce any and all of the Holder’s rights and remedies provided herein or any other rights or remedies afforded by applicable law. The Company expressly acknowledges and agrees that the Holder’s exercise of any or all of the remedies provided herein or under applicable law, including without limitation the increase(s) in the Principal Amount and the Acceleration Amount as may be declared in the case of a default, is reasonable and appropriate due to the inability to define the financial hardship that the Company’s default would impose on the Holder. To the extent that the Holder’s exercise of any of its remedies in the case of an Event of Default shall be construed to exceed the maximum interest rate allowable under applicable law, then such remedies shall be reduced to equal the maximum interest rate allowable under applicable law.

 

11. Nothing contained in this Debenture shall be construed as conferring upon the Holder the right to vote or to receive dividends or to consent or receive notice as a shareholder in respect of any meeting of shareholders or any rights whatsoever as a shareholder of the Company, unless and to the extent converted in accordance with the terms hereof.

 

12. This Debenture may be amended only by the written consent of the parties hereto. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Principal Amount of this Debenture shall automatically be reduced by any and all Conversion Amounts (to the extent that the same relate to principal hereof). In the absence of manifest error, the outstanding Principal Amount of the Debenture on the Holder’s book and records shall be the correct amount.

 

9


 

13. In the event of any inconsistency between the provisions of this Debenture and the provisions of any other Transaction Document, the provisions of this Debenture shall prevail. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, in the event the Transfer Agent is not required to transfer any Common Stock, issue Conversion Shares or de-legended shares of Restricted Stock pursuant to the Transfer Agent Instruction Letter, this shall not operate as an excuse, extension or waiver of the Company’s obligation to issue and deliver Conversion Shares or de-legended Restricted Stock.

 

14. The Company specifically acknowledges and agrees that in the event of a breach or threatened breach by the Company of any provision hereof or of any other Transaction Document, the Holder will be irreparably damaged, and that damages at law would be an inadequate remedy if this Debenture or such other Transaction Document were not specifically enforced. Therefore, in the event of a breach or threatened breach by the Company, the Holder shall be entitled, in addition to all other rights and remedies, to an injunction restraining such breach, without being required to show any actual damage or to post any bond or other security, and/or to a decree for a specific performance of the provisions of this Debenture and the other Transaction Documents.

 

15. No waivers or consents in regard to any provision of this Debenture may be given other than by an instrument in writing signed by the Holder.

 

16. [Intentionally Omitted].

 

17. [Intentionally Omitted].

 

18. Notwithstanding any provision in this Debenture or the related transaction documents to the contrary, the total liability for payments of interest and payments in the nature of interest, including, without limitation, all charges, fees, exactions, or other sums which may at any time be deemed to be interest, shall not exceed the limit imposed by the usury laws of the jurisdiction governing this Debenture or any other applicable law. In the event the total liability of payments of interest and payments in the nature of interest, including, without limitation, all charges, fees, exactions or other sums which may at any time be deemed to be interest, shall, for any reason whatsoever, result in an effective rate of interest, which for any month or other interest payment period exceeds the limit imposed by the usury laws of the jurisdiction governing this Debenture, all sums in excess of those lawfully collectible as interest for the period in question shall, without further agreement or notice by, between, or to any party hereto, be applied to the reduction of the outstanding principal balance due hereunder immediately upon receipt of such sums by the Holder hereof, with the same force and effect as though the Company had specifically designated such excess sums to be so applied to the reduction of the principal balance then outstanding, and the Holder hereof had agreed to accept such sums as a penalty-free payment of principal; provided, however, that the Holder may, at any time and from time to time, elect, by notice in writing to the Company, to waive, reduce, or limit the collection of any sums in excess of those lawfully collectible as interest, rather than accept such sums as a prepayment of the principal balance then outstanding. It is the intention of the parties that the Company does not intend or expect to pay, nor does the Holder intend or expect to charge or collect any interest under this Debenture greater than the highest non-usurious rate of interest which may be charged under applicable law.

 

10


 

21. While any portion of this Debenture is outstanding, if the Company or subsidiary of the Company receives cash proceeds of more than $500,000.00 (the “Minimum Threshold”) in the aggregate from any source or series of related or unrelated sources, including but not limited to the issuance of equity or debt (except with respect to the issuance of equity or debt to officers and directors of the Company or subsidiary of the Company), the conversion of outstanding warrants of the Company or subsidiary of the Company, the issuance of securities pursuant to an Equity Line of Credit (as defined in this Debenture), or the sale of assets by the Company or subsidiary of the Company (for the avoidance of doubt, each time that the Company or subsidiary of the Company receives cash proceeds from any of the aforementioned sources, then such amount shall be aggregated together and aggregated for purposes of calculating whether the Minimum Threshold has been reached), the Company shall, within two (2) business days of Company’s or respective subsidiary’s receipt of such proceeds, inform the Holder of such receipt, following which the Holder shall have the right in its sole discretion to require the Company or subsidiary of the Company to immediately apply up to 100% of all proceeds received by the Company (from any source except with respect to proceeds from the issuance of equity or debt to officers and directors of the Company or subsidiary of the Company) after the Minimum Threshold is reached to repay the outstanding amounts owed under this Debenture. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, while any portion of this Debenture is outstanding, if the Company or subsidiary of the Company receives cash proceeds from the issuance of securities pursuant to an Equity Line of Credit (as defined in this Debenture) prior to the Minimum Threshold being reached, the Company shall, within two (2) business days of Company’s or the respective subsidiary’s receipt of such proceeds, inform the Holder of such receipt, following which the Holder shall have the right in its sole discretion to require the Company or subsidiary of the Company to immediately apply up to 25% of all such proceeds received by the Company or subsidiary of the Company to repay the outstanding amounts owed under this Debenture (for the avoidance of doubt, once the Minimum Threshold has been reached as described in this Section 21, the application percentage of proceeds shall increase to 50% as further described in this Section 21). “Equity Line of Credit” shall mean any transaction involving a written agreement between the Company or subsidiary of the Company and an investor or underwriter whereby the Company or subsidiary of the Company has the right to “put” its Common Stock to the investor or underwriter over an agreed period of time and at an agreed price or price formula (such Common Stock must be registered pursuant to a registration statement of the Company or subsidiary of the Company for the investor’s or underwriter’s resale). For the avoidance of doubt, Section 2(b)(i) of this Debenture shall apply to any repayment of the Debenture under this Section 21 prior to the occurrence of an Event of Default.

 

22. From the Issuance Date until the Debenture is extinguished in its entirety, and except with respect to the Permitted Debt (as defined in this Debenture), the Company shall not (directly or indirectly) incur or suffer to exist or guarantee any indebtedness that is senior to the Debenture or secured by the assets of the Company. “Permitted Debt” shall mean (i) any indebtedness in existence prior to the Issuance Date, (ii) purchase money indebtedness to finance the purchase of fixed or capital assets, including all capital lease obligations of the Company, which does not exceed the purchase price of the assets funded, and (iii) indebtedness evidenced by a mortgage on real property which does not exceed the appraised value of the respective real property.

 

23. In addition to all other payment obligations under this Debenture, the Company shall pay, on or before the later of (i) August 24, 2025 or (ii) the Arena Trigger Date (as defined herein) , $155,250.00 (the “Amortization Payment”) in cash to the Holder towards the repayment of the amounts owed under this Debenture. “Arena Trigger Date” shall mean the earlier of (i) the date that the Third Note is repaid in full or (ii) the date that the SEC has declared effective a registration statement of the Company covering the resale of Common Stock issuable upon conversion of the Third Note by the holder of such Third Note.

 

24. So long as this Debenture is outstanding, the Company shall not enter into any transaction or arrangement structured in accordance with, based upon, or related or pursuant to, in whole or in part, either Section 3(a)(9) of the Securities Act (a “3(a)(9) Transaction”) or Section 3(a)(10) of the Securities Act (a “3(a)(10) Transaction”), unless the Company first obtains written consent from the Holder. This Section 24 shall not apply to (i) any securities issued to Holder or Investments or (ii) securities issued pursuant to the conversion or exercise of convertible or exercisable securities of the Company issued or outstanding prior to the Issuance Date, so long as the conversion or exercise price in such securities are not amended to a lower price on or after the Issuance Date.

This COMMON STOCK PURCHASE WARRANT (the “Warrant”) certifies that, for value received, Arena Business Solutions Global SPC II, LTD (including any permitted and registered assigns, the “Holder”), is entitled, upon the terms and subject to the limitations on exercise and the conditions hereinafter set forth, at any time on or after the date of issuance hereof until 5:00 p.m. (New York City time) on June __, 2030, to purchase from Safe and Green Development Corporation, a Delaware corporation (the “Company”), 300,000 shares of Common Stock (whereby such number may be adjusted from time to time pursuant to the terms and conditions of this Warrant) at the Exercise Price per share then in effect. This Warrant is issued by the Company as of the date hereof in connection with that Purchase Agreement dated the Issuance Date, by and among the Company and the Holder (as amended, restated, amended and restated, supplemented or otherwise modified from time to time, the “Purchase Agreement”). Capitalized terms used in this Warrant shall have the meanings set forth in the Purchase Agreement unless otherwise defined in the body of this Warrant or in Section 15 below.

 

For purposes of this Warrant, the term “Exercise Price” shall mean $0.0001, subject to adjustment as provided herein.

Subject to the terms and conditions hereof, the rights represented by this Warrant may be exercised in whole or in part at any time or times during the Exercise Period by delivery of a written notice, in the form attached hereto as Exhibit A (the “Exercise Notice”), of the Holder’s election to exercise this Warrant. The Holder shall not be required to deliver the original Warrant in order to effect an exercise hereunder. Partial exercises of this Warrant resulting in purchases of a portion of the total number of Warrant Shares available hereunder shall have the effect of lowering the outstanding number of Warrant Shares purchasable hereunder in an amount equal to the applicable number of Warrant Shares purchased. On or before the second Trading Day (the “Warrant Share Delivery Date”) following the date on which the Holder sent the Exercise Notice to the Company or the Company’s transfer agent, and upon receipt by the Company of payment to the Company of an amount equal to the applicable Exercise Price multiplied by the number of Warrant Shares as to which all or a portion of this Warrant is being exercised (the “Aggregate Exercise Price” and together with the Exercise Notice, the “Exercise Delivery Documents”) in cash or by wire transfer of immediately available funds (or by cashless exercise, in which case there shall be no Aggregate Exercise Price provided), the Company shall (or direct its transfer agent to) either (i) cause the Warrant Shares purchased hereunder to be transmitted by its transfer agent to the Holder by crediting the account of the Holder’s or its designee’s balance account with the Depository Trust Company through its Deposit or Withdrawal at Custodian system (“DWAC”) if the Company is then a participant in such system and either (x) there is an effective registration statement permitting the issuance of the Warrant Shares to, or resale of the Warrant Shares by, the Holder, or (y) the Warrant Shares are eligible for resale by the Holder without volume or manner-of-sale limitations pursuant to Rule 144 (assuming cashless exercise of the Warrants), or otherwise issue and deliver by overnight courier to the address as specified in the Exercise Notice, a certificate, registered in the Company’s share register in the name of the Holder or its designee, for the number of shares of Common Stock to which the Holder is entitled pursuant to such exercise (or deliver such Common Stock in electronic format if requested by the Holder). Upon delivery of the Exercise Delivery Documents, the Holder shall be deemed for all corporate (but not Rule 144) purposes to have become the holder of record of the Warrant Shares with respect to which this Warrant has been exercised, irrespective of the date of delivery of the certificates evidencing such Warrant Shares. If this Warrant is submitted in connection with any exercise and the number of Warrant Shares represented by this Warrant submitted for exercise is greater than the number of Warrant Shares being acquired upon an exercise, then the Company shall as soon as practicable and in no event later than three (3) business days after any exercise and at its own expense, issue a new Warrant (in accordance with Section 5) representing the right to purchase the number of Warrant Shares purchasable immediately prior to such exercise under this Warrant, less the number of Warrant Shares with respect to which this Warrant is exercised.

 


 

If the Company fails to cause its transfer agent to issue to the Holder the respective Common Stock by the respective Warrant Share Delivery Date, then the Holder will have the right to rescind such exercise in Holder’s sole discretion in addition to all other rights and remedies at law, under this Warrant, or otherwise, and such failure shall also be deemed an event of default under the Debenture, a material breach under this Warrant, and a material breach under the Purchase Agreement. In addition, if the Company fails for any reason to deliver to the Holder the Warrant Shares subject to a Notice of Exercise by the Warrant Share Delivery Date, the Company shall pay to the Holder, in cash, as partial liquidated damages and not as a penalty, for each $1,000 of Warrant Shares subject to such exercise (based on the VWAP of the Common Stock on the date of the applicable Exercise Notice), $10 per Trading Day (increasing to $20 per Trading Day on the third (3rd) Trading Day following the Warrant Share Delivery Date) for each Trading Day after such Warrant Share Delivery Date until such Warrant Shares are delivered or Holder rescinds such exercise. The Company agrees to maintain a transfer agent that is a participant in the FAST program so long as this Warrant remains outstanding and exercisable.

 

(b) Cashless Exercise. If at any time after 180 days following the Issuance Date (“Registration Deadline”), there is no effective registration statement registering, or no currently prospectus available for, the resale of the Warrant Shares by the Holder (a “Registration Default”), then this Warrant may also be exercised, in whole or in part, at such time by means of a “cashless exercise” in which the Holder shall be entitled to receive a number of Warrant Shares equal to the quotient obtained by dividing [(A-B) (X)] by (A), where:

 

(A) = as applicable: (i) the VWAP on the Trading Day immediately preceding the date of the applicable Exercise Notice if such Exercise Notice is (1) both executed and delivered pursuant to Section 1(a) hereof on a day that is not a Trading Day or (2) both executed and delivered pursuant to Section 1(a) on a Trading Day prior to the opening of “regular trading hours” (as defined in Rule 600(b)(77) of Regulation NMS promulgated under the federal securities laws) on such Trading Day, (ii) at the option of the Holder, either (y) the VWAP on the Trading Day immediately preceding the date of the applicable Exercise Notice or (z) the Bid Price of the Common Stock on the principal Trading Market as reported by Bloomberg L.P. as of the time of the Holder’s execution of the applicable Exercise Notice if such Exercise Notice is executed during “regular trading hours” on a Trading Day and is delivered within two (2) hours thereafter (including until two (2) hours after the close of “regular trading hours” on a Trading Day) pursuant to Section 1(a) or (iii) the VWAP on the date of the applicable Exercise Notice if the date of such Exercise Notice is a Trading Day and such Exercise Notice is both executed and delivered pursuant to Section 1(a) after the close of “regular trading hours” on such Trading Day;

 

(B) = the Exercise Price of this Warrant, as adjusted hereunder; and

 

(X) = the number of Warrant Shares that would be issuable upon exercise of this Warrant in accordance with the terms of this Warrant if such exercise were by means of a cash exercise rather than a cashless exercise.

 

If Warrant Shares are issued in such a cashless exercise, the parties acknowledge and agree that in accordance with Section 3(a)(9) of the Securities Act, the Warrant Shares shall take on the characteristics of the Warrant being exercised, and the holding period of the Warrant Shares being issued may be tacked on to the holding period of this Warrant. The Company agrees not to take any position contrary to this Section 1(b).

 

“Bid Price” means, for any date, the price determined by the first of the following clauses that applies: (a) the bid price of the Common Stock for the time in question (or the nearest preceding date) on the Principal Market on which the Common Stock is then listed or quoted as reported by Bloomberg L.P. (based on a Trading Day from 9:30 a.m. (New York City time) to 4:02 p.m. (New York City time)), (b) if OTCQB or OTCQX is not a Principal Market, the volume weighted average price of the Common Stock for such date (or the nearest preceding date) on OTCQB or OTCQX as applicable, (c) if the Common Stock is not then listed or quoted for trading on OTCQB or OTCQX and if prices for the Common Stock are then reported in the “Pink Sheets” published by OTC Markets Group, Inc. (or a similar organization or agency succeeding to its functions of reporting prices), the most recent bid price per share of the Common Stock so reported, or (d) in all other cases, the fair market value of a share of Common Stock as determined by an independent appraiser selected in good faith by the Holder and the Company, the fees and expenses of which shall be paid by the Company.

Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, on the date that is sixty (60) months following the Issuance Date, this Warrant shall be automatically exercised via cashless exercise pursuant to this Section 1(b).

 

(c) No Fractional Shares. No fractional shares shall be issued upon the exercise of this Warrant as a consequence of any adjustment pursuant hereto. All Warrant Shares (including fractions) issuable upon exercise of this Warrant may be aggregated for purposes of determining whether the exercise would result in the issuance of any fractional share. If, after aggregation, the exercise would result in the issuance of a fractional share, the Company shall, in lieu of issuance of any fractional share, pay the Holder otherwise entitled to such fraction a sum in cash equal to the product resulting from multiplying the then-current fair market value of a Warrant Share by such fraction.

 

(d) Holder’s Exercise Limitations. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, the Company shall not effect any exercise of this Warrant, and a Holder shall not have the right to exercise any portion of this Warrant, pursuant to Section 1 or otherwise, to the extent that after giving effect to such issuance after exercise as set forth on the applicable Exercise Notice, the Holder (together with the Holder’s affiliates (the “Affiliates”), and any other Persons acting as a group together with the Holder or any of the Holder’s Affiliates (such Persons, “Attribution Parties”)), would beneficially own in excess of the Beneficial Ownership Limitation (as defined below). For purposes of the foregoing sentence, the number of shares of Common Stock beneficially owned by the Holder and Attribution Parties shall include the number of shares of Common Stock issuable upon exercise of this Warrant with respect to which such determination is being made, but shall exclude the number of shares of Common Stock which would be issuable upon (i) exercise of the remaining, nonexercised portion of this Warrant beneficially owned by the Holder or any of its Affiliates or Attribution Parties and (ii) exercise or conversion of the unexercised or nonconverted portion of any other securities of the Company (including, without limitation, any other Common Stock Equivalents) subject to a limitation on conversion or exercise analogous to the limitation contained herein beneficially owned by the Holder or any of its Affiliates or Attribution Parties. Except as set forth in the preceding sentence, for purposes of this Section 1(d), beneficial ownership shall be calculated in accordance with Section 13(d) of the Exchange Act and the rules and regulations promulgated thereunder, it being acknowledged by the Holder that the Holder is solely responsible for any schedules required to be filed in accordance therewith. 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 1(d), in determining the number of outstanding shares of Common Stock, a Holder may rely on the number of outstanding shares of Common Stock as reflected in (A) the Company’s most recent periodic or annual report filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “Commission”), as the case may be, (B) a more recent public announcement by the Company or (C) 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 (2) 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 Warrant, by the Holder or its Affiliates or Attribution Parties 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 Common Stock outstanding at the time of the respective calculation hereunder provided, however, that upon written notice by Investor to the Company, the Beneficial Ownership Limitation may be increased in accordance with such notice, however such Beneficial Ownership Limitation shall never exceed 9.99%.

(e) Compensation for Buy-In on Failure to Timely Deliver Warrant Shares Upon Exercise. In addition to any other rights available to the Holder, if the Company fails to cause the Company’s transfer agent to transmit to the Holder the Warrant Shares in accordance with the provisions of this Warrant (including but not limited to Section 1(a) above pursuant to an exercise on or before the respective Warrant Share Delivery Date, and if after such date the Holder is required by its broker to purchase (in an open market transaction or otherwise) or the Holder’s brokerage firm otherwise purchases, Common Stock to deliver in satisfaction of a sale by the Holder of the Warrant Shares which the Holder anticipated receiving upon such exercise (a “Buy-In”), then the Company shall (A) pay in cash to the Holder, within one (1) business day of Holder’s request, the amount, if any, by which (x) the Holder’s total purchase price (including brokerage commissions and other out-of-pocket expenses, if any) for the Common Stock so purchased exceeds (y) the product of (1) the number of Warrant Shares that the Company was required to deliver to the Holder in connection with the exercise at issue multiplied by (2) the price at which the sell order giving rise to such purchase obligation was executed, and (B) at the option of the Holder, either reinstate the portion of the Warrant and equivalent number of Warrant Shares for which such exercise was not honored (in which case such exercise shall be deemed rescinded) or deliver to the Holder within one (1) business day of Holder’s request the number of shares of Common Stock that would have been issued had the Company timely complied with its exercise and delivery obligations hereunder. For example, if the Holder purchases, or effectuates a cashless exercise hereunder for, Common Stock having a total purchase price of $11,000 to cover a Buy-In with respect to an attempted exercise of Common Stock with an aggregate sale price giving rise to such purchase obligation of $10,000, under clause (A) of the immediately preceding sentence, the Company shall be required to pay the Holder $1,000. The Holder shall provide the Company written notice indicating the amounts payable to the Holder in respect of the Buy-In and, upon request of the Company, evidence of the amount of such loss. Nothing herein shall limit a Holder’s right to pursue any other remedies available to it hereunder, at law or in equity including, without limitation, a decree of specific performance and/or injunctive relief with respect to the Company’s failure to timely deliver Common Stock upon exercise of the Warrant as required pursuant to the terms hereof.

 

(f) Charges, Taxes and Expenses. Issuance of Warrant Shares shall be made without charge to the Holder for any issue or transfer tax or other incidental expense in respect of the issuance of such Warrant Shares, all of which taxes and expenses shall be paid by the Company, and such Warrant Shares shall be issued in the name of the Holder or in such name or names as may be directed by the Holder; provided, however, that in the event that Warrant Shares are to be issued in a name other than the name of the Holder, this Warrant when surrendered for exercise shall be accompanied by an Assignment Form, in a form that is reasonably acceptable to Holder and the Company, duly executed by the Holder. The Company shall pay all Transfer Agent fees required for same-day processing of any Exercise Notice and all fees to the Depository Trust Company (or another established clearing corporation performing similar functions) required for same-day electronic delivery of the Warrant Shares. The Company shall pay all attorney fees required for the issuance of attorney legal opinions for removal of restrictive legends on Warrant Shares.

 

(g) Closing of Books. The Company will not close its shareholder books or records in any manner which prevents the timely exercise of this Warrant, pursuant to the terms hereof.

Section 2. Certain Adjustments.

 

(a) Share Dividends and Splits. If the Company, at any time while this Warrant is outstanding: (i) pays a share dividend or otherwise makes a distribution or distributions of its Common Stock or any other equity or equity equivalent securities payable in Common Stock (which, for avoidance of doubt, shall not include any Common Stock issued by the Company upon exercise of this Warrant), (ii) subdivides outstanding Common Stock into a larger number of shares, or (iii) issues by reclassification of Common Stock any shares of share capital of the Company, then in each case (excluding a reverse share split), the Exercise Price shall be multiplied by a fraction of which the numerator shall be the number of shares of Common Stock (excluding treasury shares, if any) outstanding immediately before such event and of which the denominator shall be the number of shares of Common Stock outstanding immediately after such event, and the number of shares issuable upon exercise of this Warrant shall be proportionately adjusted such that the aggregate Exercise Price of this Warrant shall remain unchanged. Any adjustment made pursuant to this Section 2(a) shall become effective immediately after the record date for the determination of shareholders entitled to receive such dividend or distribution and shall become effective immediately after the effective date in the case of a subdivision, combination or reclassification. This proportional adjustment shall continue until such time as the Warrant is fully exercised.

 

(b) Subsequent Equity Sales. If at any time while this Warrant is outstanding, the Company issues or sells, announces any offer, sale, or other disposition of, or in accordance with this Section 2 is deemed to have issued, sold or granted (or makes an announcement regarding the same), any Common Stock and/or Common Stock Equivalents (including the issuance or sale of Common Stock owned or held by or for the account of the Company, but excluding any securities issued or sold or deemed to have been issued or sold solely in connection with an Exempt Issuance) for a consideration per share (the “New Issuance Price”) less than a price equal to the Exercise Price in effect immediately prior to such issuance or sale or deemed issuance or sale (such Exercise Price then in effect is referred to herein as the “Applicable Price”) (the foregoing a “Dilutive Issuance”), then immediately after such Dilutive Issuance, the Exercise Price then in effect shall be reduced to an amount equal to the New Issuance Price; provided, however, that notwithstanding anything contained herein, if at the time the Holder elects to exercise the Warrant the New Issuance Price is higher than the Exercise Price determined pursuant to the second paragraph of this Warrant, the Exercise Price shall be as determined by such second paragraph. For all purposes of the foregoing (including, without limitation, determining the adjusted Exercise Price and the New Issuance Price under this Section 2(b)), the following shall be applicable:

 

(i) If the Company in any manner grants, issues or sells (or enters into any agreement to grant, issue or sell) any Options (as defined below) and the lowest price per share for which one share of Common Stock is at any time issuable upon the exercise of any such Option (as defined below) or upon conversion, exercise or exchange of any Common Stock Equivalents issuable upon exercise of any such Option (as defined below) or otherwise pursuant to the terms thereof is less than the Applicable Price, then such share of Common Stock shall be deemed to be outstanding and to have been issued and sold by the Company at the time of the granting or sale of such Option (as defined below) for such price per share. For purposes of this Section 2(b)(i), the “lowest price per share for which one share of Common Stock is at any time issuable upon the exercise of any such Option (as defined below) or upon conversion, exercise or exchange of any Common Stock Equivalents issuable upon exercise of any such Option (as defined below) or otherwise pursuant to the terms thereof” shall be equal to (1) the lower of (x) the sum of the lowest amounts of consideration (if any) received or receivable by the Company with respect to any one share of Common Stock upon the granting, issuance or sale of such Option (as defined below), upon exercise of such Option (as defined below) and upon conversion, exercise or exchange of any Common Stock Equivalents issuable upon exercise of such Option (as defined below) or otherwise pursuant to the terms thereof and (y) the lowest exercise price set forth in such Option (as defined below) for which one share of Common Stock is issuable (or may become issuable assuming all possible market conditions) upon the exercise of any such Options (as defined below) or upon conversion, exercise or exchange of any Common Stock Equivalents issuable upon exercise of any such Option (as defined below) or otherwise pursuant to the terms thereof minus (2) the sum of all amounts paid or payable to the holder of such Option (or any other Person) upon the granting, issuance or sale of such Option (as defined below), upon exercise of such Option (as defined below) and upon conversion, exercise or exchange of any Common Stock Equivalents issuable upon exercise of such Option (as defined below) or otherwise pursuant to the terms thereof plus the value of any other consideration received or receivable by, or benefit conferred on, the holder of such Option (as defined below) (or any other Person). Except as contemplated below, no further adjustment of the Exercise Price shall be made upon the actual issuance of such Common Stock or of such Common Stock Equivalents upon the exercise of such Options (as defined below) or otherwise pursuant to the terms of or upon the actual issuance of such Common Stock upon conversion, exercise or exchange of such Common Stock Equivalents. “Option” means any rights, warrants or options to subscribe for or purchase Common Stock or Convertible Securities. “Convertible Securities” means any shares or other security (other than Options) that is at any time and under any circumstances, directly or indirectly, convertible into, exercisable or exchangeable for, or which otherwise entitles the holder thereof to acquire, any Common Stock.

(ii) If the Company in any manner issues or sells (or enters into any agreement to issue or sell) any Common Stock Equivalents and the lowest price per share for which one share of Common Stock is at any time issuable upon the conversion, exercise or exchange thereof or otherwise pursuant to the terms thereof is less than the Applicable Price, then such Common Stock shall be deemed to be outstanding and to have been issued and sold by the Company at the time of the issuance or sale of such Common Stock Equivalents for such price per share. For the purposes of this Section 2(b)(ii), the “lowest price per share for which one share of Common Stock is at any time issuable upon the conversion, exercise or exchange thereof or otherwise pursuant to the terms thereof” shall be equal to (1) the lower of (x) the sum of the lowest amounts of consideration (if any) received or receivable by the Company with respect to one share of Common Stock upon the issuance or sale of the Common Stock Equivalents and upon conversion, exercise or exchange of such Common Stock Equivalents or otherwise pursuant to the terms thereof and (y) the lowest conversion price set forth in such Common Stock Equivalents for which one share of Common Stock is issuable (or may become issuable assuming all possible market conditions) upon conversion, exercise or exchange thereof or otherwise pursuant to the terms thereof minus (2) the sum of all amounts paid or payable to the holder of such Common Stock Equivalents (or any other Person) upon the issuance or sale of such Common Stock Equivalents plus the value of any other consideration received or receivable by, or benefit conferred on, the holder of such Common Stock Equivalents (or any other Person). Except as contemplated below, no further adjustment of the Exercise Price shall be made upon the actual issuance of such Common Stock upon conversion, exercise or exchange of such Common Stock Equivalents or otherwise pursuant to the terms thereof, and if any such issuance or sale of such Common Stock Equivalents is made upon exercise of any Options for which adjustment of this Warrant has been or is to be made pursuant to other provisions of this Section 2(b), except as contemplated below, no further adjustment of the Exercise Price shall be made by reason of such issuance or sale.

 

(iii) If the purchase or exercise price provided for in any Options, the additional consideration, if any, payable upon the issue, conversion, exercise or exchange of any Common Stock Equivalents, or the rate at which any Common Stock Equivalents are convertible into or exercisable or exchangeable for Common Stock increases or decreases at any time (other than proportional changes in conversion or exercise prices, as applicable, in connection with an event referred to in Section 2(a)), the Exercise Price in effect at the time of such increase or decrease shall be adjusted to the Exercise Price which would have been in effect at such time had such Options or Common Stock Equivalents provided for such increased or decreased purchase price, additional consideration or increased or decreased conversion rate, as the case may be, at the time initially granted, issued or sold. For purposes of this Section 2(b)(iii), if the terms of any Option or Common Stock Equivalents that were outstanding as of the date this Warrant was issued are increased or decreased in the manner described in the immediately preceding sentence, then such Option or Common Stock Equivalents and the Common Stock deemed issuable upon exercise, conversion or exchange thereof shall be deemed to have been issued as of the date of such increase or decrease. No adjustment pursuant to this Section 2(b) shall be made if such adjustment would result in an increase of the Exercise Price then in effect.

(iv) If any Option and/or Common Stock Equivalents and/or Adjustment Right (as defined below) is issued in connection with the issuance or sale or deemed issuance or sale of any other securities of the Company (as determined by the Holder, the “Primary Security”, and such Option and/or Common Stock Equivalents and/or Adjustment Right (as defined below), the “Secondary Securities”), together comprising one integrated transaction, (or one or more transactions if such issuances or sales or deemed issuances or sales of securities of the Company either (A) have at least one investor or purchaser in common, (B) are consummated in reasonable proximity to each other and/or (C) are consummated under the same plan of financing) the aggregate consideration per share of Common Stock with respect to such Primary Security shall be deemed to be equal to the difference of (x) the lowest price per share for which one share of Common Stock was issued (or was deemed to be issued pursuant to Section 2(b)(i) or 2(b)(ii) above, as applicable) in such integrated transaction solely with respect to such Primary Security, minus (y) with respect to such Secondary Securities, the sum of (I) the Black Scholes Value (as defined below) of each such Option, if any, (II) the fair market value (as determined by the Holder in good faith) or the Black Scholes Value (as defined below), as applicable, of such Adjustment Right (as defined below), if any, and (III) the fair market value (as determined by the Holder) of such Common Stock Equivalents, if any, in each case, as determined on a per share basis in accordance with this Section 2(b)(iv). If any Common Stock, Options or Common Stock Equivalents are issued or sold or deemed to have been issued or sold for cash, the consideration received therefor (for the purpose of determining the consideration paid for such Common Stock, Option or Common Stock Equivalents, but not for the purpose of the calculation of the Black Scholes Value (as defined below)) will be deemed to be the net amount of consideration received by the Company therefor. If any Common Stock, Options or Common Stock Equivalents are issued or sold for a consideration other than cash, the amount of such consideration received by the Company (for the purpose of determining the consideration paid for such Common Stock, Option or Common Stock Equivalents, but not for the purpose of the calculation of the Black Scholes Value (as defined below)) will be the fair value of such consideration, except where such consideration consists of publicly traded securities, in which case the amount of consideration received by the Company for such securities will be the arithmetic average of the VWAPs of such security for each of the five (5) Trading Days immediately preceding the date of receipt. If any Common Stock, Options or Common Stock Equivalents are issued to the owners of the non-surviving entity in connection with any merger in which the Company is the surviving entity, the amount of consideration therefor (for the purpose of determining the consideration paid for such Common Stock, Option or Common Stock Equivalents, but not for the purpose of the calculation of the Black Scholes Value (as defined below)) will be deemed to be the fair value of such portion of the net assets and business of the non-surviving entity as is attributable to such Common Stock, Options or Common Stock Equivalents (as the case may be). The fair value of any consideration other than cash or publicly traded securities will be determined jointly by the Company and the Holder. If such parties are unable to reach agreement within ten (10) days after the occurrence of an event requiring valuation (the “Valuation Event”), the fair value of such consideration will be determined within five (5) Trading Days after the tenth (10th) day following such Valuation Event by an independent, reputable appraiser jointly selected by the Company and the Holder. The determination of such appraiser shall be final and binding upon all parties absent manifest error and the fees and expenses of such appraiser shall be borne by the Company). “Adjustment Right” means any right granted with respect to any securities issued in connection with, or with respect to, any issuance or sale (or deemed issuance or sale hereunder) of Common Stock (other than rights of the type described in Sections 2(c) and 2(d) hereof) that could result in a decrease in the net consideration received by the Company in connection with, or with respect to, such securities (including, without limitation, any cash settlement rights, cash adjustment or other similar rights).

 

(v) If the Company takes a record of the holders of Common Stock for the purpose of entitling them (A) to receive a dividend or other distribution payable in Common Stock, Options or in Common Stock Equivalents or (B) to subscribe for or purchase Common Stock, Options or Common Stock Equivalents, then such record date will be deemed to be the date of the issuance or sale of the Common Stock deemed to have been issued or sold upon the declaration of such dividend or the making of such other distribution or the date of the granting of such right of subscription or purchase (as the case may be).

(c) Subsequent Rights Offerings. In addition to any adjustments pursuant to Section 2(a) above, if at any time the Company grants, issues or sells any Common Stock Equivalents or rights to purchase shares, warrants, securities or other property pro rata to the record holders of any class of Common Stock (the “Purchase Rights”), then the Holder will be entitled to acquire, upon the terms applicable to such Purchase Rights, the aggregate Purchase Rights which the Holder could have acquired if the Holder had held the number of Common Stock acquirable upon complete exercise of this Warrant (without regard to any limitations on exercise hereof, including without limitation, the Beneficial Ownership Limitation) immediately before the date on which a record is taken for the grant, issuance or sale of such Purchase Rights, or, if no such record is taken, the date as of which the record holders of Common Stock are to be determined for the grant, issue or sale of such Purchase Rights (provided, however, that, to the extent that the Holder’s right to participate in any such Purchase Right would result in the Holder exceeding the Beneficial Ownership Limitation, then the Holder shall not be entitled to participate in such Purchase Right to such extent (or beneficial ownership of such Common Stock as a result of such Purchase Right to such extent) and such Purchase Right to such extent shall be held in abeyance for the Holder until such time, if ever, as its right thereto would not result in the Holder exceeding the Beneficial Ownership Limitation).

 

(d) Pro Rata Distributions. During such time as this Warrant is outstanding, if the Company shall declare or make any dividend or other distribution of its assets (or rights to acquire its assets) to holders of Common Stock, by way of return of capital or otherwise (including, without limitation, any distribution of cash, shares or other securities, property or options by way of a dividend, spin off, reclassification, corporate rearrangement, scheme of arrangement or other similar transaction) (a “Distribution”), at any time after the issuance of this Warrant, then, in each such case, the Holder shall be entitled to participate in such Distribution to the same extent that the Holder would have participated therein if the Holder had held the number of shares of Common Stock acquirable upon complete exercise of this Warrant (without regard to any limitations on exercise hereof, including without limitation, the Beneficial Ownership Limitation) immediately before the date of which a record is taken for such Distribution, or, if no such record is taken, the date as of which the record holders of Common Stock are to be determined for the participation in such Distribution (provided, however, that, to the extent that the Holder's right to participate in any such Distribution would result in the Holder exceeding the Beneficial Ownership Limitation, then the Holder shall not be entitled to participate in such Distribution to such extent (or in the beneficial ownership of any Common Stock as a result of such Distribution to such extent) and the portion of such Distribution shall be held in abeyance for the benefit of the Holder until such time, if ever, as its right thereto would not result in the Holder exceeding the Beneficial Ownership Limitation).

(e) Fundamental Transaction. If, at any time while this Warrant is outstanding, (i) the Company or any Subsidiary, directly or indirectly, in one or more related transactions effects any merger or consolidation of the Company with or into another Person, (ii) the Company, directly or indirectly, effects any sale, lease, license, assignment, transfer, conveyance or other disposition of all or substantially all of its assets in one or a series of related transactions, (iii) any, direct or indirect, purchase offer, tender offer or exchange offer (whether by the Company or another Person) is completed pursuant to which holders of Common Stock are permitted to sell, tender or exchange their shares for other securities, cash or property and has been accepted by the holders of 50% or more of the outstanding Common Stock, (iv) the Company, directly or indirectly, in one or more related transactions effects any reclassification, reorganization or recapitalization of the Common Stock or any compulsory share exchange pursuant to which the Common Stock are effectively converted into or exchanged for other securities, cash or property, or (v) the Company, directly or indirectly, in one or more related transactions consummates a stock or share purchase agreement or other business combination (including, without limitation, a reorganization, recapitalization, spin-off, merger or scheme of arrangement) with another Person or group of Persons whereby such other Person or group acquires more than 50% of the outstanding Common Stock (not including any Common Stock held by the other Person or other Persons making or party to, or associated or affiliated with the other Persons making or party to, such stock or share purchase agreement or other business combination) (each a “Fundamental Transaction”), then, upon any subsequent exercise of this Warrant, the Holder shall have the right to receive, for each Warrant Share that would have been issuable upon such exercise immediately prior to the occurrence of such Fundamental Transaction, at the option of the Holder (without regard to any Beneficial Ownership Limitation on the exercise of this Warrant), the number of shares of Common Stock of the successor or acquiring corporation or of the Company, if it is the surviving corporation, and any additional consideration (the “Alternate Consideration”) receivable as a result of such Fundamental Transaction by a holder of the number of shares of Common Stock for which this Warrant is exercisable immediately prior to such Fundamental Transaction (without regard to any Beneficial Ownership Limitation on the exercise of this Warrant). For purposes of any such exercise, the determination of the Exercise Price shall be appropriately adjusted to apply to such Alternate Consideration based on the amount of Alternate Consideration issuable in respect of one share of Common Stock in such Fundamental Transaction, and the Company shall apportion the Exercise Price among the Alternate Consideration in a reasonable manner reflecting the relative value of any different components of the Alternate Consideration. If holders of Common Stock are given any choice as to the securities, cash or property to be received in a Fundamental Transaction, then the Holder shall be given the same choice as to the Alternate Consideration it receives upon any exercise of this Warrant following such Fundamental Transaction. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary, in the event of a Fundamental Transaction, the Company or any Successor Entity (as defined below) shall, at the Holder’s option, exercisable at any time concurrently with, or within thirty (30) days after, the consummation of the Fundamental Transaction (or, if later, the date of the public announcement of the applicable Fundamental Transaction), purchase this Warrant from the Holder by paying to the Holder an amount of cash equal to the Black Scholes Value (as defined below) of the remaining unexercised portion of this Warrant on the date of the consummation of such Fundamental Transaction; provided, however, that, if the Fundamental Transaction is not within the Company’s control, including not approved by the Company’s Board of Directors, the Holder shall only be entitled to receive from the Company or any Successor Entity, as of the date of consummation of such Fundamental Transaction, the same type or form of consideration (and in the same proportion), at the Black Scholes Value of the unexercised portion of this Warrant, that is being offered and paid to the holders of Common Stock of the Company in connection with the Fundamental Transaction, whether that consideration is in the form of cash, shares or any combination thereof, or whether the holders of Common Stock are given the choice to receive from among alternative forms of consideration in connection with the Fundamental Transaction; provided, further, that if holders of Common Stock of the Company are not offered or paid any consideration in such Fundamental Transaction, such holders of Common Stock will be deemed to have received common stock, as applicable, of the Successor Entity (which entity may be the Company following such Fundamental Transaction) in such Fundamental Transaction. “Black Scholes Value” means the value of this Warrant based on the Black-Scholes Option Pricing Model obtained from the “OV” function on Bloomberg determined as of the day of consummation of the applicable Fundamental Transaction for pricing purposes and reflecting (A) a risk-free interest rate corresponding to the U.S. Treasury rate for a period equal to the time between the date of the public announcement of the applicable contemplated Fundamental Transaction and the date that is sixty (60) months following the Issuance Date, (B) an expected volatility equal to the greater of 100% and the 100 day volatility obtained from the HVT function on Bloomberg (determined utilizing a 365 day annualization factor) as of the Trading Day immediately following the public announcement of the applicable contemplated Fundamental Transaction, (C) the underlying price per share used in such calculation shall be the greater of (i) the sum of the price per share being offered in cash, if any, plus the value of any non-cash consideration, if any, being offered in such Fundamental Transaction and (ii) the highest VWAP during the period beginning on the Trading Day immediately preceding the public announcement of the applicable contemplated Fundamental Transaction (or the consummation of the applicable Fundamental Transaction, if earlier) and ending on the Trading Day of the Holder’s request pursuant to this Section 2(e) and (D) a remaining option time equal to the time between the date of the public announcement of the applicable contemplated Fundamental Transaction and the date that is sixty (60) months following the Issuance Date and (E) a zero cost of borrow. The payment of the Black Scholes Value will be made by wire transfer of immediately available funds (or such other consideration) within the later of (i) five (5) Business Days of the Holder’s election and (ii) the date of consummation of the Fundamental Transaction. The Company shall cause any successor entity in a Fundamental Transaction in which the Company is not the survivor (the “Successor Entity”) to assume in writing all of the obligations of the Company under this Warrant and the other Transaction Documents in accordance with the provisions of this Section 2(e) pursuant to written agreements in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to the Holder and approved by the Holder (without unreasonable delay) prior to such Fundamental Transaction and shall, at the option of the Holder, deliver to the Holder in exchange for this Warrant a security of the Successor Entity evidenced by a written instrument substantially similar in form and substance to this Warrant which is exercisable for a corresponding number of shares of share capital or capital stock, as applicable, of such Successor Entity (or its parent entity) equivalent to the Common Stock acquirable and receivable upon exercise of this Warrant (without regard to any limitations on the exercise of this Warrant) prior to such Fundamental Transaction, and with an exercise price which applies the exercise price hereunder to such shares of share capital or capital stock, as applicable (but taking into account the relative value of the Common Stock pursuant to such Fundamental Transaction and the value of such shares of share capital or capital stock, as applicable, such number of shares of share capital or capital stock, as applicable, and such exercise price being for the purpose of protecting the economic value of this Warrant immediately prior to the consummation of such Fundamental Transaction), and which is reasonably satisfactory in form and substance to the Holder. Upon the occurrence of any such 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 Warrant and the other Transaction Documents referring to the “Company” 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 Warrant and the other Transaction Documents with the same effect as if such Successor Entity had been named as the Company herein.

To the extent that any notice provided in this Warrant constitutes, or contains, material, non-public information regarding the Company or any of its Subsidiaries, the Company shall simultaneously file such notice with the Commission pursuant to a Current Report on Form 8-K. The Holder shall remain entitled to exercise this Warrant during the period commencing on the date of such notice to the effective date of the event triggering such notice except as may otherwise be expressly set forth herein.

Section 8. Nonwaiver and Expenses.

Section 10. Remedies. The Holder, in addition to being entitled to exercise all rights granted by law, including recovery of damages, will be entitled to specific performance of its rights under this Warrant. The Company agrees that monetary damages would not be adequate compensation for any loss incurred by reason of a breach by it of the provisions of this Warrant and hereby agrees to waive and not to assert the defense in any action for specific performance that a remedy at law would be adequate.

e. Non-contravention. The execution and delivery of the Transaction Documents, the issuance of the Securities and the consummation by the Company of the other transactions contemplated by this Agreement and the Debenture (including without limitation the incurrence of indebtedness thereunder) do not and will not conflict with or result in a breach by the Company of any of the terms or provisions of, or constitute a default under (i) the certificate of incorporation or by-laws of the Company, each as currently in effect, (ii) any material indenture, mortgage, deed of trust, or other material agreement or instrument to which the Company is a party or by which it or any of its properties or assets are bound, including any listing agreement for the Common Stock, except as herein set forth or an event which results in the creation of any lien, charge or encumbrance upon any material assets of the Company or the triggering of any anti-dilution rights, rights of first refusal or first offer on the part of holders of the Company’s securities, (iii) to its knowledge, any existing applicable law, rule, or regulation or any applicable decree, judgment, or order of any court, United States federal or state regulatory body, administrative agency, or other governmental body having jurisdiction over the Company or any of its properties or assets, or (iv) the Company’s listing agreement for its Common Stock (if applicable).

c.  Piggy-Back Registration Rights. From and after the Closing Date and until the date that the Conversion Shares and Commitment Shares are registered for resale by Buyer pursuant to a Registration Statement, if the Company contemplates making an offering of Common Stock (or other equity securities convertible into or exchangeable for Common Stock) registered for sale under the Securities Act or proposes to file a Registration Statement covering any of its securities, the Company shall at each such time give prompt written notice to Investments and Buyer of its intention to do so and of the registration rights granted under this Agreement. Upon the written request of Investments and/or Buyer made within thirty (30) days after the receipt of any such notice (which request shall specify the Registrable Securities intended to be disposed of by Investments and/or Buyer and the intended method of disposition thereof), the Company shall, at its sole cost and expense, use its reasonable efforts to effect the registration of all Registrable Securities which the Company has been so requested to register by Investments and/or Buyer, to the extent requisite to permit the disposition (in accordance with the intended methods of disposition) of the Registrable Securities by Investments and/or Buyer, by inclusion of such Registrable Securities in the Registration Statement which covers the securities which the Company proposes to register (the “Piggyback Rights”); provided, that if the Company is unable to register the full amount of Registrable Securities in an “at the market offering” under SEC rules and regulations due to the high percentage of the Company’s Common Stock the Registrable Securities represents (giving effect to all other securities being registered in the Registration Statement), then the Company may reduce, on a pro rata basis, the amount of Registrable Securities subject to the Registration Statement to a lesser amount which equals the maximum number of Registrable Securities that the Company is permitted to register in an “at the market offering”; and provided, further, that if, at any time after giving written notice of its intention to register any Registrable Securities and prior to the effective date of the Registration Statement filed in connection with such registration, the Company shall determine for any reason either not to register or to delay registration of such Registrable Securities, the Company may, at its election, give written notice of such determination to Investments and/or the Buyer and, thereupon, (i) in the case of a determination not to register, the Company shall be relieved of its obligation to register any Registrable Securities in connection with such registration (but not from its obligation to pay the expenses of registration in connection therewith), and (ii) in the case of a determination to delay registering such Registrable Securities, shall be permitted to delay registering any Registrable Securities, for the same period as the delay in registering such other securities. If the registration of the Company’s securities is initiated as a primary underwritten offering on behalf of the Company and the managing underwriter advises the Company and the holders of Registrable Securities (if any holders of Registrable Securities have elected to include Registrable Securities in such registration statement) that in its reasonable and good faith opinion the number of shares of Common Stock proposed to be included in such registration, including all Registrable Securities and all other shares of Common Stock proposed to be included in such underwritten offering, exceeds the number of shares of Common Stock which can be sold in such offering and/or that the number of shares of Common Stock proposed to be included in any such registration would adversely affect the price per share of the Common Stock to be sold in such offering, the Company shall include in such registration (i) first, the shares of Common Stock that the Company proposes to sell; (ii) second, the shares of Common Stock requested to be included therein by holders of Registrable Securities, allocated pro rata among all such holders on the basis of the number of Registrable Securities owned by each such holder or in such manner as they may otherwise agree; and (iii) third, the shares of Common Stock requested to be included therein by holders of Common Stock other than holders of Registrable Securities, allocated among such holders in such manner as they may agree. If Buyer shall have transferred all or part of its Registrable Securities, then for purposes of this Section, the term “Buyer” shall reference Buyer and/or such transferee(s). Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, the Piggyback Rights shall not apply (i) at the time of the filing of such Registration Statement if Buyer and Investments may sell all of the Registrable Securities (as applicable to Buyer and Investments) without restriction pursuant to Rule 144 promulgated under the Securities Act as of the filing date of the respective Registration Statement and (ii) to any Conversion Shares underlying the Debenture that the Buyer has not paid the purchase price for pursuant to this Agreement of the filing date of the respective Registration Statement.

d. Securities Filings. The Company undertakes and agrees to make all necessary filings (including, without limitation, a Form D) in connection with the sale of the Securities to the Buyer required under any United States laws and regulations applicable to the Company (including without limitation state “blue sky” laws), or by any domestic securities exchange or trading market, and to provide a copy thereof to the Buyer promptly after such filing.

 

e. Reporting Status; Public Trading Market; DTC Eligibility. So long as the Buyer and/or Investments beneficially own any Securities, (i) the Company shall timely file, prior to or on the date when due, all reports that would be required to be filed with the SEC pursuant to Section 13 or 15(d) of the Exchange Act if the Company had securities registered under Section 12(b) or 12(g) of the Exchange Act; (ii) the Company shall not be operated as, or report, to the SEC or any other Person, that the Company is a “shell company” or indicate to the contrary to the SEC or any other Person; (iii) the Company shall take all other action under its control necessary to ensure the availability of Rule 144 under the 1933 Act for the sale of Shares by the Buyer at the earliest possible date; and (iv) the Company shall at all times while any Securities are outstanding maintain its engagement of an independent registered public accounting firm. Except as otherwise set forth in Transaction Documents, the Company shall take all action under its control necessary to obtain and to continue the listing and trading of its Common Stock (including, without limitation, all Registrable Securities) on the Nasdaq Stock Market, OTC Markets, Inc., OTC Pink, OTCQB, OTCQX, NYSE, or any other exchange (the “Principal Market”) and will comply in all material respects with the Company’s reporting, filing and other obligations under the by-laws or rules of the Financial Industry Regulatory Authority (“FINRA”). If, so long as the Buyer and/or Investments beneficially own any of the Securities, the Company receives any written notice from the Principal Market, FINRA, or the SEC with respect to either any alleged deficiency in the Company’s compliance with applicable rules and regulations (including without limitation any comments from the SEC on any of the Company’s documents filed (or the failure to have made any such filing) under the 1933 Act or the Exchange Act) (each, a “Regulatory Notice”), then the Company shall promptly, and in any event within two (2) business days, provide copies of the Regulatory Notice to the Buyer, and shall promptly, and in any event within ten (10) business days of receipt of the Regulatory Notice (a “Regulatory Response”), respond in writing to the Principal Market, FIRNA and/or SEC (as the case may be), setting forth the Company’s explanation and/or response to the issues raised in the Regulatory Notice, with a view towards maintaining and/or regaining full compliance with the applicable rules and regulations of the Principal Market, FIRNA and/or SEC and maintaining or regaining good standing of the Company with the Principal Market, FINRA and/or SEC, as the case may be, the intent being to ensure that the Company maintain its reporting company status with the SEC and that its Common Stock be and remain available for trading on the Principal Market. Further, at all times while any Securities are outstanding, the Common Stock shall be DWAC Operational, and the Common Stock shall not be subject to any DTC “chill” designation or similar restriction on the clearing of the Common Stock through DTC.

f. Use of Proceeds. The Company shall use the proceeds from the sale of the Debenture for working capital purposes only subject to customary restrictions. Absent the prior written approval of a majority of the principal amount of the Debenture then outstanding, the Company shall not use any portion of the proceeds of the sale of the Debenture to (i) repay any indebtedness or other obligation of the Company incurred prior to the date of this Agreement outside the normal course of business, (ii) pay any dividends or redemption amount on any of the Company’s equity or equity equivalents, (iii) pay any amounts, whether on account of debt obligations of the Company or otherwise, except for compensation, to any officer, director or other related party of the Company or (iv) pay deferred compensation or any compensation to any of the directors or officers of the Company in excess of the rate or amount paid or accrued during the fiscal year ended December, 2024 (as base compensation and excluding any discretionary amounts), other than modest increases consistent with prior practice that are approved by the Company’s Board of Directors.

 

g. Available Shares. Commencing on the date of execution and delivery of this Agreement, the Company shall have and maintain authorized and reserved for issuance, free from preemptive rights, that number of shares equal to Two Hundred percent (200%) of the number of shares of Common Stock issuable based upon the conversion of the then-outstanding Debenture (including accrued interest thereon) as may be required to satisfy the conversion rights of the Buyer pursuant to the terms and conditions of the Debenture (for the avoidance of doubt, this shall be calculated based on the Conversion Price (as defined in the Debenture) (without giving effect to the 4.99% limitation on ownership as set forth in the Debenture) (collectively in the aggregate the “Required Reserve Amount”). The Company shall monitor its compliance with the foregoing requirements on an ongoing basis. If at any time the Company does not have available an amount of authorized and non-issued Shares required to be reserved pursuant to this Section, then the Company shall, without notice or demand by the Buyer, call within thirty (30) days of such occurrence and hold within sixty (60) days of such occurrence a special meeting of shareholders, for the sole purpose of increasing the number of shares authorized. Management of the Company shall recommend to shareholders to vote in favor of increasing the number of Common Stock authorized at the meeting. If the increase in authorized shares is approved by the stockholders at the meeting, the Company shall implement the increase in authorized shares within four (4) business days following approval at such meeting. Company’s failure to comply with these provisions will be an Event of Default (as defined in the Debenture).

 

h. Reimbursement. If (i) Buyer and/or Investments becomes a party defendant in any capacity in any action or proceeding brought by any stockholder of the Company other than by reason of its own gross negligence, willful misconduct or breach of law (as adjudicated by a court of law having proper jurisdiction and such adjudication is not subject to appeal), in connection with or as a result of the consummation of the transactions contemplated by the Transaction Documents, or if the Buyer and/or Investments is impleaded in any such action, proceeding or investigation by any Person, or (ii) the Buyer and/or Investments, other than by reason of its own gross negligence, willful misconduct or breach of law (as adjudicated by a court of law having proper jurisdiction and such adjudication is not subject to appeal), becomes a party defendant in any capacity in any action or proceeding brought by the SEC against or involving the Company or in connection with or as a result of the consummation of the transactions contemplated by the Transaction Documents, or if the Buyer or Investments is impleaded in any such action, proceeding or investigation by any Person, then in any such case, the Company shall promptly reimburse the Buyer and/or Investments for its or their reasonable legal and other expenses (including the cost of any investigation and preparation) incurred in connection therewith. The reimbursement obligations of the Company under this paragraph shall be in addition to any liability which the Company may otherwise have, shall extend upon the same terms and conditions to any affiliates of the Buyer and/or Investments who are actually named in such action, proceeding or investigation, and partners, directors, agents, employees and controlling Persons (if any), as the case may be, of the Buyer, Investments and any such Affiliate, and shall be binding upon and inure to the benefit of any successors, assigns, heirs and personal representatives of the Company, the Buyer, Investments and any such Affiliate and any such Person. Except as otherwise set forth in the Transaction Documents, the Company also agrees that neither any Buyer, Investments nor any such Affiliate, partners, directors, agents, employees or controlling Persons shall have any liability to the Company or any Person asserting claims on behalf of or in right of the Company in connection with or as a result of the consummation of the Transaction Documents.

 

15


 

i. The Company shall provide the Transfer Agent and/or the Buyer, Investments or their respective brokerage and/or clearing firm with all relevant legal opinions and other documentation requested by the Buyer or Investments in connection with the issuance of the Shares or the Restricted Stock, or the sale thereof, to confirm the share issuance(s) such that the Shares and/or Restricted Stock may be deposited with the applicable brokerage and/or clearing firm.

 

j. No Payments to Affiliates or Related Parties.  So long as any of the Debenture remains outstanding, the Company shall not, absent the prior written consent of the holder of the Debenture, make any payments to any of the Company’s or the Subsidiaries’ respective affiliates or related parties, including without limitation payments or prepayments of principal or interest accrued on any indebtedness or obligation in favor of affiliates or related parties.  Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, the provisions of this Section 4(j) shall not apply to payments to the Subsidiaries, or other businesses in which affiliates have an interest, made in the ordinary course of business and consistent with past practice as disclosed in the SEC Documents.

 

k. Notice of Material Adverse Effect. The Company shall notify the Buyer (and any subsequent holder of the Debenture), as soon as practicable and in no event later than three (3) business days of the Company’s knowledge of any Material Adverse Effect on the Company. For purposes of the foregoing, “knowledge” means the earlier of the Company’s actual knowledge or the Company’s constructive knowledge upon due inquiry.

 

l. Public Disclosure. Except to the extent required by applicable law and except for the filing of the Transaction Documents as exhibits to a Current Report on Form 8-K or any registration statements registering the Securities, absent the Buyer’s prior written consent, the Company shall not reference the name of the Buyer in any press release, securities disclosure, business plan, marketing or funding proposal.

 

16


 

m. Nature of Transaction; Savings Clause. It is the parties’ express understanding and agreement that the transactions contemplated by the Transaction Documents constitute an investment and not a loan. If nonetheless such transactions are deemed to be a loan (as adjudicated by a court of law having proper jurisdiction and such adjudication is not subject to appeal), the Company shall not be obligated or required to pay interest at a rate that could subject Buyer to either civil or criminal liability as a result of such rate exceeding the maximum rate that the Buyer is permitted to charge under applicable law, and the Company’s obligations under the Transaction Documents shall not be void or voidable on the basis of the Buyer’s lack of any license or registration as a lender with any governmental authority. It is expressly understood and agreed by the parties that neither the amounts payable pursuant to Section 12, any redemption premium, remedy upon an Event of Default (as defined in the Debenture) or any Acceleration Amount (as defined in the Debenture), original issue discount nor any investment returns of the Buyer on the sale of the Debenture or the sale of any Shares (whether unrealized or realized) shall be construed as interest. If, by the terms of the Debenture, any other Transaction Document or any other instrument, the Company is at any time required or obligated to pay interest at a rate exceeding such maximum rate, interest payable under the Debenture and/or such other Transaction Documents or other instrument shall be computed (or recomputed) at such maximum rate, and the portion of all prior interest payments (if any) exceeding such maximum shall be applied to payment of the outstanding principal of the Debenture.

 

n. Trading Activities. Neither the Buyer nor its affiliates has an open short position in the Common Stock or other capital stock of the Company.

 

o. No Integration. The Company shall not make any offers or sales of any security (other than the Securities) under circumstances that would require registration of the Securities being offered or sold hereunder under the Securities Act or cause the offering of the Securities to be integrated with any other offering of securities by the Company for the purpose of any stockholder approval provision applicable to the Company or its securities.

 

p. Corporate Existence. The Company will, so long as the Buyer beneficially owns any of the Securities, maintain its corporate existence and shall not sell all or substantially all of the Company’s assets.

 

q. Payment Set Aside. To the extent that the (i) Company makes a payment or payments to the Buyer hereunder, pursuant to this Agreement, the Debenture, or any other agreement, certificate, instrument or document contemplated hereby or thereby, or (ii) the Buyer enforces or exercises its rights hereunder, pursuant to this Agreement, the Debenture, or any other agreement, certificate, instrument or document contemplated hereby or thereby, and such payment or payments or the proceeds of such enforcement or exercise or any part thereof (including but not limited to the sale of the Securities) are for any reason (i) subsequently invalidated, declared to be fraudulent or preferential, set aside, recovered from, or disgorged by the Buyer, or (ii) are required to be refunded, repaid or otherwise restored to the Company, a trustee, receiver, government entity, or any other person or entity under any law (including, without limitation, any bankruptcy law, foreign, state or federal law, common law or equitable cause of action), then (i) to the extent of any such restoration the obligation or part thereof originally intended to be satisfied shall be revived and continued in full force and effect as if such payment had not been made or such enforcement or setoff had not occurred and (ii) the Company shall immediately pay to the Buyer a dollar amount equal to the amount that was for any reason (i) subsequently invalidated, declared to be fraudulent or preferential, set aside, recovered from, or disgorged by the Buyer, or (ii) required to be refunded, repaid or otherwise restored to the Company, a trustee, receiver, government entity, or any other person or entity under any law (including, without limitation, any bankruptcy law, foreign, state or federal law, common law or equitable cause of action).

 

17


 

r. Shareholder Approval. “Shareholder Approval” means: the approval of the holders of a majority of the Company’s outstanding voting Common Stock or a sufficient amount of holders of the Company’s Common Stock to satisfy the shareholder approval requirements for such action as provided in Nasdaq Rule 5635(e), to effectuate the transactions contemplated by this Agreement, the issuance of all of the Shares (including the Conversion Shares), issuance of the Commitment Shares, in excess of 19.99% of the issued and outstanding Common Stock on the Closing Date (the “Exchange Cap”, of which at least 603,362 shares of Common Stock shall be allocated to the transactions contemplated by this Agreement), subject to appropriate adjustment for any stock dividend, stock split, stock combination, rights offerings, reclassification or similar transaction that proportionately decreases or increases the Common Stock). The Company shall hold a special meeting of shareholders within seventy-five (75) calendar days after the date of this Agreement for the purpose of obtaining Shareholder Approval, with the recommendation of the Company’s Board of Directors that such proposal be approved, and the Company shall solicit proxies from its shareholders in connection therewith in the same manner as all other management proposals in such proxy statement and all management-appointed proxyholders shall vote their proxies in favor of such proposal. The Company shall use its reasonable best efforts to obtain such Shareholder Approval. If the Company does not obtain Shareholder Approval at the first meeting, the Company shall call a meeting as often as possible thereafter to seek Shareholder Approval until the Shareholder Approval is obtained. Until such approval is obtained, the number of shares of Common Stock issued in the aggregate, pursuant to this Agreement and upon conversion of the Debenture shall be limited to the Exchange Cap. The Company shall not use the Exchange Cap for any other purpose except for the issuance of Common Stock pursuant to this Agreement and upon conversion of the Debenture.

 

s. No Broker-Dealer Acknowledgement. Absent a final adjudication from a court of competent jurisdiction stating otherwise, the Company shall not to any person, institution, governmental or other entity, state, claim, allege, or in any way assert, that Buyer is currently, or ever has been, a broker-dealer under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934.

 

5. TRANSFER AGENT INSTRUCTIONS.

 

a. Transfer Agent Instruction Letter. On or before the Closing Date, the Company shall irrevocably instruct its Transfer Agent in writing using the letter substantially in the form of Exhibit B annexed hereto, with only such modifications as the Buyer agrees to, executed by the Company, the Buyer and the Transfer Agent (the “Transfer Agent Instruction Letter”), to (i) reserve that number of shares of Common Stock as is required under Section 4(g) hereof, and (ii) issue Common Stock from time to time upon conversion of the Debenture in such amounts as specified from time to time by the Buyer to the Transfer Agent in a Notice of Conversion, in such denominations to be specified by the Buyer in connection with each conversion of the Debenture. The Transfer Agent shall not be restricted from issuing shares from only the allotment reserved hereunder for the Conversion Amount (as defined in the Debenture), but instead may, to the extent necessary to satisfy the amount of shares issuable upon conversion, issue shares above and beyond the amount reserved on account of the Conversion Amount, without any additional instructions or authorization from the Company, and the Company shall not provide the Transfer Agent with any instructions or documentation contrary to the foregoing. As of the date of this Agreement, the Transfer Agent is Equiniti Trust Company. The Company shall at all times while any Debenture is outstanding engage a Transfer Agent which is a party to the Transfer Agent Instruction Letter. If for any reason the Company’s Transfer Agent is not a signatory of the Transfer Agent Instruction Letter while any Debenture or Restricted Stock are outstanding and held by the Buyer and/or Investments, then such Transfer Agent shall nonetheless be deemed bound by the Transfer Agent Instruction Letter, and the Company shall neither (i) permit the Transfer Agent to disclaim, disregard or refuse to abide by the Transfer Agent’s obligations, terms and agreements set forth in the Transfer Agent Instruction Letter, nor (ii) issue any instructions to the Transfer Agent contrary to the obligations, terms and agreements set forth in the Transfer Agent Instruction Letter . The Company shall not terminate the Transfer Agent or otherwise change Transfer Agents without at least fifteen (15) days prior written notice to the Buyer and with the Buyer’s prior written consent to such change, which the Buyer may grant or withhold in its sole discretion. The Company shall continuously monitor its compliance with the share reservation requirements and, if and to the extent necessary to increase the number of reserved shares to remain and be at least the Required Reserve Amount to account for any decrease in the Market Price of the Common Stock, the Company shall immediately (and in any event within one (1) business day) notify the Transfer Agent in writing of the reservation of such additional shares, provided that in the event that the number of shares reserved for conversion of the Debenture is less than the Required Reserve Amount, the Buyer may also directly instruct the Transfer Agent to increase the reserved shares as necessary to satisfy the minimum reserved share requirement, and the Transfer Agent shall act accordingly, provided, further, that the Company shall within one (1) business day provide any written confirmation, assent or documentation thereof as the Transfer Agent may request to act upon a share increase instruction delivered by the Buyer. The Company shall provide the Buyer with a copy of all written instructions to the Company’s Transfer Agent with respect to the reservation of shares simultaneously with the issuance of such instructions to the Transfer Agent. The Company covenants that no instruction other than such instructions referred to in this Section 5 and stop transfer instructions to give effect to Section 4(a) hereof prior to registration and sale of the Shares under the 1933 Act will be given by the Company to the Transfer Agent and that the Shares shall otherwise be freely transferable on the books and records of the Company as and to the extent provided in this Agreement and applicable law. If the Buyer provides the Company and/or the Transfer Agent with an opinion of counsel reasonably satisfactory to the Company that registration of a resale by the Buyer of any of the Securities in accordance with clause (1)(B) of Section 4(a) of this Agreement is not required under the 1933 Act, the Company shall (except as provided in clause (2) of Section 4(a) of this Agreement) permit the de-legending or transfer of the Securities and, in the case of the Shares, instruct the Company’s Transfer Agent to issue one or more certificates for Common Stock without legend in such name and in such denominations as specified by the Buyer.

 

18


 

b. Conversion. (i) The Company shall permit the Buyer to exercise the right to convert the Debenture by faxing, emailing or delivering overnight an executed and completed Notice of Conversion to the Company or the Transfer Agent. If so requested by the Buyer or the Transfer Agent, the Company shall within one (1) business day respond with its endorsement so as to confirm the outstanding principal amount of any Debenture submitted for conversion or shall reconcile any difference with the Buyer promptly after receiving such Notice of Conversion.

 

(ii) The term “Conversion Date” means, with respect to any conversion elected by the holder of the Debenture, the date specified in the Notice of Conversion, provided the copy of the Notice of Conversion is given either via mail or facsimile to or otherwise delivered to the Transfer Agent and/or the Company in accordance with the provisions hereof so that it is received by the Transfer Agent and/or the Company on or before 5pm (ET) on such specified date.

 

(iii) The Company shall deliver (or will cause the Transfer Agent to deliver) the Shares issuable upon conversion as follows: (1) if the Company is then DWAC Operational, via DWAC, (2) if the Common Stock is then eligible for the Depository Trust Company’s Direct Registration System (“DRS”), if so requested by the Buyer, or (3) if the Company is not then DWAC Operational or the Common Stock is not then eligible for DRS, in certificated form, to the Buyer at the address specified in the Notice of Conversion (which may be the Buyer’s address for notices as contemplated by Section 10 hereof or a different address), via express courier, in each case within two (2) business days (the “Delivery Date”) after the business day on which the Company or the Transfer Agent has received the Notice of Conversion (by facsimile, email or other delivery), provided that any notice received after 5pm (ET) shall be deemed to be received on the next business day.

 

c. Failure to Timely Issue Shares or De-Legended Shares. The Company’s failure to issue and deliver Shares to the Buyer (either by DWAC, DRS or in certificated form, as required by Section 5(b)) on or before the Delivery Date shall be considered an Event of Default, which shall entitle the Buyer to certain remedies set forth in the Debenture and provided by applicable law. Similarly, the Company’s failure to issue and deliver Common Stock in unrestricted form without a restrictive legend when required under the Transaction Documents shall entitle the Buyer to damages for the diminution in value (if any) of the relevant shares between the date delivery was due versus the date ultimately delivered in unrestricted form. The Company acknowledges that its failure to timely honor a Notice of Conversion (or the occurrence of any other Event of Default) and/or Exercise Notice shall cause definable financial hardship on the Buyer(s) and that the remedies set forth herein and in the Debenture are reasonable and appropriate.

 

d. Duties of Company; Authorization. The Company shall inform the Transfer Agent of the reservation of shares contemplated by Section 4(g) and this Section 5, and shall keep current in its payment obligations to the Transfer Agent such that the Transfer Agent will continue to process share transfers and the initial issuance of shares of Common Stock upon the conversion of Debenture. The Company hereby authorizes and agrees to authorize the Transfer Agent to correspond and otherwise communicate with the Buyer or their representatives in connection with the foregoing and other matters related to the Common Stock. Further, the Company hereby authorizes the Buyer or its representative to provide instructions to the Transfer Agent that are consistent with the foregoing and instructs the Transfer Agent to honor any such instructions. Should the Company fail for any reason to keep current in its payment obligations to the Transfer Agent, the Buyer and/or Investments may pay such amounts as are necessary to compensate the Transfer Agent for performing its duties with respect to share reservation, issuance of Shares and/or de-legending certificates representing Restricted Stock, and all amounts so paid shall be promptly reimbursed by the Company. If not so reimbursed within thirty (30) days, such amounts shall, at the option of the Buyer and without prior notice to or consent of the Company, be added to the principal amount due under the Debenture held by the Buyer, whereupon interest will begin to accrue on such amounts at the rate specified in the Debenture.

 

19


 

e. Effect of Bankruptcy. The Buyer shall be entitled to exercise its conversion privilege with respect to the Debenture notwithstanding the commencement of any case under 11 U.S.C. §101 et seq. (the “Bankruptcy Code”). In the event the Company is a debtor under the Bankruptcy Code, the Company hereby waives, to the fullest extent permitted, any rights to relief it may have under 11 U.S.C. §362 in respect of the Buyer’s conversion privilege. The Company hereby waives, to the fullest extent permitted, any rights to relief it may have under 11 U.S.C. §362 in respect of the conversion of the Debenture. The Company agrees, without cost or expense to the Buyer, to take or to consent to any and all action necessary to effectuate relief under 11 U.S.C. §362.
