Item 1.01. Entry into a Material Definitive Agreement.
On May 12, 2025, SurgePays, Inc., a Nevada corporation (the “Company”) and certain subsidiaries of the Company as guarantors (the “Guarantors”, and collectively with the Company, the “Note Parties”), entered into a Senior Secured Note Purchase Agreement (the “NPA”) with Funicular Funds, LP (the “Investor”), pursuant to which the Company issued a Senior Secured Convertible Note in the original principal amount of $6,999,999 (the “Note”). The Note accrues interest at a rate of 1.25% per month (15% per annum). Interest is payable monthly, either in cash or in-kind (“PIK Interest”) at the Company’s election. The Note includes an embedded conversion option, which permits the Investor to convert the outstanding principal and accrued interest into shares of the Company’s common stock (the “Conversion Shares”) at an initial conversion price of $4.00 per share. The conversion price is subject to down-round adjustment if the Company issues common stock (or equivalents) at a price below the then-current conversion price. The transaction resulted in net cash proceeds of $5,925,000 to the Company (including the legal expense of Investor counsel), and included the Investor’s surrender of 333,333 shares of the Company’s common stock to pay for a portion of the purchase price of the Note at $3.00 per share.
Beginning January 31, 2026, the Company is required to make monthly principal payments of $500,000, with the remaining balance due on the Note’s maturity date of May 12, 2027, unless earlier repaid, redeemed, or converted. The Investor’s right of conversion is subject to a conversion limit in each calendar month equal to the greater of 125,000 shares or 10% of the average daily trading volume of the Company’s common stock on Nasdaq for the five trading days immediately preceding such date of conversion. The Company shall also not effect the conversion of any portion of the Note to the extent that after giving effect to such conversion, the Investor together would beneficially own immediately after giving effect to such conversion in excess of 4.99% (or at the option of the Investor, 19.99%) of the shares of common stock of the Company that will be outstanding upon the date thereof. The Company also has the right to redeem all, or any part, of the Note in cash at an amount set forth pursuant to the terms of the Note.
The Note contains customary terms, conditions, and agreements by the Company. Upon a notice of an event of default (as set forth in the Note), the Investor may require the Company to immediately redeem in cash (regardless of whether such Event of Default has been cured) all or any portion of the Note and all other outstanding and unpaid amounts due under the other offering documents by delivering a written notice to the Company, and indicate the portion of this Note and all other outstanding and unpaid amounts that the Investor is electing to redeem, and which amounts shall be redeemed in cash by the Company at a price equal to the sum of (i) an amount equal to (a) all outstanding and unpaid principal to be redeemed, multiplied by (b) the Redemption Premium (as defined in the Note) plus (ii) an amount equal to all other outstanding amounts. In the case of an event of default related to bankruptcy, immediately and without notice, all outstanding and unpaid outstanding amounts due under the Note and under the other offering documents plus the Bankruptcy Event of Default Redemption Premium (as defined in the Note), shall automatically become immediately due and payable in cash. Additionally, in the case of an event of default related to a liquidation event, immediately and without notice, the Company shall pay to the Investor an amount in cash equal to the greater of: (i) the sum of (x)(I) all outstanding and unpaid principal, multiplied by (II) the Redemption Premium (as defined in the Note), plus (y) an amount equal to all other outstanding amounts, and (ii) the amount of liquidation preference payable to the Holder if it has elected to convert this Note immediately prior to such liquidation event of default, in each case which shall automatically become immediately due and payable in cash.
In the event of any fundamental transaction (as defined in the Note), the Investor shall have the option, upon request, to demand payment in an amount of cash equal to the sum of (a)(i) all outstanding and unpaid principal, multiplied by (ii) the Redemption Premium (as defined in the Note), plus (b) any other outstanding amounts, which payment shall be in full satisfaction of the obligations of the Company under the Note.
The NPA contains customary terms, conditions, and agreements by the Note Parties, indemnification obligations of the Note Parties, and termination provisions. The NPA also contains customary covenants, including but not limited to subordination of the certain outstanding note issued by the Company to SMDMM on March 12, 2024 in the principal amount of $4,758,088.74, restrictions on issuances of other debt, notes, or convertible securities involving variable rate transactions (as defined in the NPA), declarations or payments of dividends, ability for the Company to enact a stock split, restrictions on assumptions of liens or transfer of assets, as well as required post-closing conditions of the Note Parties.
In connection with the Note, the Company, Guarantors, and the Investor entered into a Security and Pledge Agreement (the “Security Agreement”) pursuant to which the Note is secured by a first-priority lien on substantially all of the Company’s and the Guarantors’ assets. The Security Agreement sets forth the requirements of the Company and Guarantors in pledging all of their requisite assets as collateral (as set forth in the Security Agreement), including any assets to be acquired while the Note remains outstanding, and the ability for the Investor as collateral agent to exercise its rights as are granted in such cases in an event of default or as otherwise prescribed therein. The Security Agreement contains other customary terms, conditions, and covenants. The obligations in the Security Agreement, as well as the Company’s obligations pursuant to the NPA, Note, and other transaction documents are fully guaranteed by the subsidiaries of the Company as Guarantors pursuant to the Guaranty (the “Guaranty”).
In connection with the issuance of the Note, the Company also issued warrants (the “Warrants’) to the Investor to purchase 700,000 shares of the Company’s common stock at an exercise price of $6.00 per share. The Warrants are immediately exercisable and expire five years from the date of issuance, or May 12, 2030. The Warrants contain standard features including cashless exercise rights at times when there is no effective registration statement for resale of the warrants and anti-dilution adjustments. The Company has agreed pursuant to a registration rights agreement (the “RRA”) to file a registration statement to register the shares underlying the Warrants (the “Warrant Shares”) and the Conversion Shares on Form S-3 (or Form S-1, if the Company is not then S-3 eligible) within ninety (90) days following receipt of a written request from the Investor, and to use its reasonable best efforts to cause the registration statement to become effective within one hundred and twenty (120) days after receipt of such notice. The RRA also entitles the Investor to customary piggy-back registration rights.
Copies of the Note, Warrant, NPA, Security Agreement, Guaranty, and RRA are filed as Exhibits 4.1, 4.2, 10.1, 10.2, 10.3, and 10.4, respectively, to this Current Report on Form 8-K and are incorporated herein by reference.

Senior Secured Convertible Note
| Issuance Date: May 12, 2025 | Original Principal Amount: $6,999,999.00 |
FOR VALUE RECEIVED, SurgePays, Inc., a Nevada corporation (the “Company”), hereby promises to pay to the order of Funicular Funds, LP, a Delaware limited partnership, or its registered assigns (“Holder”) the amount set forth above as the Original Principal Amount (as reduced or increased pursuant to the terms hereof pursuant to redemption, conversion or otherwise, including PIK Interest (as defined below), the “Principal”) when due, whether upon the Maturity Date, or upon acceleration, redemption or otherwise (in each case in accordance with the terms hereof) from the date set forth above as the Issuance Date (the “Issuance Date”) until the same becomes due and payable, whether upon the Maturity Date or upon acceleration, conversion, redemption or otherwise (in each case in accordance with the terms hereof).
This Senior Secured Convertible Note (including all Senior Secured Convertible Notes issued in exchange, transfer or replacement hereof, in each case as amended, supplemented or otherwise modified from time to time, this “Note”) is issued pursuant to the Senior Secured Note Purchase Agreement (as amended, supplemented or otherwise modified from time to time, the “Purchase Agreement”), dated as of May 12, 2025 (the “Effective Date”), by and among the Company, the Guarantors (as defined in the Guaranty referred to therein) from time to time party thereto (together with the Company, collectively, each a “Note Party”), and the Holder. Any capitalized term not defined herein shall have the same meaning as in the Purchase Agreement and certain capitalized terms used herein are defined in Section 32.
Signature Page to the Convertible Note
1. PAYMENTS OF PRINCIPAL.
(a) Unless this Note has been converted earlier pursuant to the terms of Section 3 hereof or this Note shall be accelerated during the continuance of an Event of Default as set forth in this Note, on the Maturity Date, all the Principal and all other Outstanding Amounts shall be due and payable and the Holder may demand the Company to redeem (in immediately available funds) this Note for the total purchase price equal to the Principal. Subject to Section 6 hereunder, the Company may prepay any portion of the outstanding Principal at any time.
(b) Starting with the month ending January 31, 2026 the Principal will amortize in equal monthly installments of $500,000 payable on each Payment Date, with a final payment of the remaining outstanding balance of this Note payable on the Maturity Date or upon earlier acceleration of this Note following the occurrence of an Event of Default.
2. INTEREST. Subject to the conversion of this Note in full or in part, until all Outstanding Amounts are paid in full in cash, this Note shall bear interest (the “Interest”) at the rate of one and one quarter percent (1.25%) per month, to be accrued on any outstanding and non-converted Principal, computed on the basis of the actual number of days elapsed and a 30-day-per-month basis. The Interest shall be paid in arrears by the Company to the Holder monthly on the last Business Day of each calendar month (each, a “Payment Date”) as follows: either, at the election of Company on such Payment Date, (a) one and one quarter percent (1.25%) of Interest per month in cash, or (y) one and one quarter percent (1.25%) per month of Interest paid in kind (“PIK Interest”) payable on each Payment Date by capitalizing and adding the amount thereof to the unpaid principal balance of this Note, and will thereafter accrue interest as part of the Principal as provided herein, and all accrued but unpaid (and not previously capitalized) interest will be payable in full in cash on the Maturity Date, if not previously paid. All interest amounts payable hereunder shall be paid in full in cash, or by conversion as permitted herein, on or before the Maturity Date or any earlier date on which such interest becomes due and payable pursuant to the terms hereof. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if any Event of Default exists, this Note and all other Outstanding Amounts shall bear interest, to the fullest extent permitted by law, after as well as before judgment, at the rate of one and one half percent (1.5%) per month; provided that such additional default interest shall be payable in cash on demand.
3. CONVERSION OF NOTE.
(a) Optional Conversion. At any time commencing January 12, 2026 until the Maturity Date, Holder may elect to convert all or any part of the Outstanding Amount of this Note into shares of the Company’s common stock, $0.001 par value (the “Common Stock”), at the then-applicable Conversion Price (the date of any conversion, a “Conversion Date”), subject to a conversion limit in each calendar month equal to the greater of 125,000 shares of Common Stock or 10% of the average daily trading volume of the Common Stock on The Nasdaq Stock Market for the five trading days immediately preceding such Conversion Date (the “Conversion Limit”).
|
|
(b) Fractional Shares. The Company shall not issue any fraction of a share of the Common Stock upon any conversion. If the issuance would result in the issuance of a fraction of a share of the Common Stock, the Company shall round such fraction of a share of the Common Stock up to the nearest whole share. The Company shall pay any and all transfer, stamp, issuance and similar taxes, costs and expenses (including, without limitation, fees and expenses of the Company’s transfer agent, if applicable) that may be payable with respect to the issuance and delivery of the Common Stock upon conversion of any portion of the Outstanding Amount.
(c) Mechanics of Conversion.
(i) Conversion. Upon conversion hereunder, the Holder shall receive the number of shares of the Common Stock as is determined by dividing (x) the Outstanding Amount by (y) the Conversion Price (such shares of the Common Stock, the “Conversion Shares”), subject to the Conversion Limit. “Conversion Price” means, (A) initially, $4.00 per share; provided, however, that if the Company at any time issues additional Common Stock (or Common Stock equivalents) for cash (other than Excluded Securities) for a price per share less than the then-applicable Conversion Price (“New Equity Round”), the Conversion Price shall be adjusted to equal the price per share paid in cash in such New Equity Round.
(ii) Notice of Conversion. Before the Holder of the Note shall be entitled to convert all or any portion of the Note as set forth above, the Holder shall provide notice (a “Conversion Notice”) to the Company stating (1) whether it intends to surrender and exchange its Note in full or in part, and (2) the principal amount of the Note to be converted or exchanged and (3) the name or names (with addresses) in which the Holder wishes the Conversion Shares to be registered.
(iii) Delivery of Conversion Shares. The Company shall cause the Conversion Shares to be transmitted by the Company’s 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 by the date that is the earliest of (i) two (2) trading days after the delivery to the Company of the Conversion Notice, and (ii) the number of trading days comprising the Standard Settlement Period after the delivery to the Company of the Conversion Notice (such date, the “Conversion Share Delivery Date”). Upon delivery of the Conversion Notice, the Holder shall be deemed for all corporate purposes to have become the holder of record of the Conversion Shares with respect to which the Note has been exercised, irrespective of the date of delivery of the Conversion Shares. If the Company fails to deliver to the Holder the Conversion Shares subject to a Conversion Notice within five (5) trading days after the delivery to the Company of the Conversion Notice, the Company shall pay to the Holder, in cash, as liquidated damages and not as a penalty, for each $1,000 of Conversion Shares subject to such exercise (based on the current market value of the Common Stock on the date of the applicable Conversion Notice), $10 per trading day (increasing to $20 per trading day on the fifth trading day after such liquidated damages begin to accrue) for each trading day after such five (5) trading day period until such Conversion Shares are delivered or Holder rescinds such conversion. The Company agrees to maintain a transfer agent that is a participant in the FAST program so long as the Notes remains outstanding. As used herein, “Standard Settlement Period” means the standard settlement period, expressed in a number of trading days, on the Company’s primary trading market with respect to the Common Stock as in effect on the date of delivery of the Conversion Notice.
|
|
(iv) Stock Ledger. In the event that any portion of the Note is converted into shares of Common Stock pursuant to Section 3(a), the Company shall record on its stock ledger the issuance of the Common Stock upon the issuance of such shares of the Common Stock.
(v) Registration; Book-Entry. The Company shall maintain a register (the “Register”) for the recordation of the names and addresses of the holders of each Note and the principal amount of the Notes held by such holders (the “Registered Notes”). The entries in the Register shall be conclusive and binding for all purposes absent manifest error. The Company and the holders of the Notes shall treat each Person whose name is recorded in the Register as the owner of a Note for all purposes (including, without limitation, the right to receive payments of Principal hereunder) notwithstanding notice to the contrary. A Registered Note may be assigned, transferred or sold in whole or in part only by registration of such assignment or sale on the Register. Upon its receipt of a written request to assign, transfer or sell all or part of any Registered Note by the holder thereof, the Company shall record the information contained therein in the Register and issue one or more new Registered Notes in the same aggregate principal amount as the principal amount of the surrendered Registered Note to the designated assignee or transferee pursuant to Section 12, provided that if the Company does not so record an assignment, transfer or sale (as the case may be) of all or part of any Registered Note within three (3) Business Days of such a request, then the Register shall be automatically deemed updated to reflect such assignment, transfer or sale (as the case may be).
(d) Limitations on Conversions. The Company shall not effect the conversion of any portion of this Note to the extent that after giving effect to such conversion, the Holder together with the other Attribution Parties collectively would beneficially own immediately after giving effect to such conversion and the subsequent issuance of shares of Common Stock of Company in excess of 4.99% (the “Maximum Percentage”) of the shares of Common Stock of the Company that will be outstanding upon the date thereof. For purposes of the foregoing sentence, the aggregate number of shares of Common Stock beneficially owned by the Holder and the other Attribution Parties shall include the number of shares of Common Stock held by the Holder and all other Attribution Parties plus the number of shares of Common Stock issuable upon conversion of this Note and underlying other securities of the Company with respect to which the determination of such sentence is being made. For purposes of this Section 3(d), beneficial ownership shall be calculated in accordance with Section 13(d) of the 1934 Act. For any reason at any time, upon the written or oral request of the Holder, the Company shall within two (2) Business Days confirm orally and in writing or by electronic mail to the Holder the number of shares of Common Stock then outstanding. In any case, the number of outstanding shares of the Common Stock shall be determined after giving effect to the conversion or exercise of securities of the Company, including this Note, by the Holder and any other Attribution Party. In the event that the issuance of shares of Common Stock to the Holder upon conversion of this Note results in the Holder and the other Attribution Parties being deemed to beneficially own, in the aggregate, more than the Maximum Percentage of the number of outstanding shares of Common Stock (as determined under Section 13(d) of the 1934 Act), the number of shares so issued by which the Holder’s and the other Attribution Parties’ aggregate beneficial ownership exceeds the Maximum Percentage (the “Excess Shares”) shall be deemed null and void and shall be cancelled ab initio, and the Holder shall not have the power to vote or to transfer the Excess Shares. Upon delivery of a written notice to the Company, the Holder may from time to time increase (with such increase not effective until the sixty-first (61st) day after delivery of such notice) or decrease the Maximum Percentage to any other percentage as specified in such notice; provided that (i) any such increase in the Maximum Percentage will not exceed 19.99% of the shares of Common Stock of Company without the consent of the stockholders of Company, and shall not be effective until the sixty-first (61st) day after such notice is delivered to the Company, and (ii) any such increase or decrease will apply only to the Holder and the other Attribution Parties and not to any other holder of Notes that is not an Attribution Party of the Holder. For purposes of clarity, the shares of Common Stock issuable pursuant to the terms of this Note in excess of the Maximum Percentage shall not be deemed to be beneficially owned by the Holder for any purpose including for purposes of Section 13(d) or Rule 16a-1(a)(1) of the 1934 Act. No prior inability to convert this Note pursuant to this paragraph shall have any effect on the applicability of the provisions of this paragraph with respect to any subsequent determination of convertibility. The provisions of this paragraph shall be construed and implemented in a manner otherwise than in strict conformity with the terms of this Section 3(d) to the extent necessary to correct this paragraph (or any portion of this paragraph) which may be defective or inconsistent with the intended beneficial ownership limitation contained in this Section 3(d) or to make changes or supplements necessary or desirable to properly give effect to such limitation. The limitation contained in this paragraph may not be waived and shall apply to a successor holder of this Note.

(xiv) any provision of any Transaction Document (including, without limitation, any Security Document) shall at any time for any reason (other than pursuant to the express terms thereof) cease to be valid and binding on or enforceable against the parties thereto, or the validity or enforceability thereof shall be contested by any party thereto, or a proceeding shall be commenced by the Company or any of its Subsidiaries or any Governmental Authority having jurisdiction over any of them, seeking to establish the invalidity or unenforceability thereof, or the Company or any of its Subsidiaries shall deny in writing that it has any liability or obligation purported to be created under any Transaction Document (including, without limitation, any Security Document);

(b) Notice of an Event of Default; Redemption Right. Upon the occurrence of an Event of Default, the Company shall within five (5) Business Days deliver written notice thereof via electronic mail (with next day delivery specified) (an “Event of Default Notice”) to the Holder. At any time after the earlier of the Holder’s receipt of an Event of Default Notice and the Holder becoming aware of an Event of Default (other than any Bankruptcy Event of Default or any Liquidation Event of Default), the Required Holders may require the Company to immediately redeem in cash (regardless of whether such Event of Default has been cured) all or any portion of the Notes and all other outstanding and unpaid Outstanding Amounts due hereunder and under the other Transaction Documents by delivering written notice thereof (the “Event of Default Redemption Notice”) to the Company, in each case such Outstanding Amounts to be immediately due and payable without presentment, demand, protest or any other notice of any kind, all of which are hereby expressly waived, anything contained herein to the contrary notwithstanding, the Event of Default Redemption Notice shall indicate the portion of this Note and all other outstanding and unpaid Outstanding Amounts that the Holder is electing to redeem. Each portion of this Note subject to redemption by the Company pursuant to this Section 4(b) shall be redeemed in cash by the Company at a price equal to the sum of (i) an amount equal to (a) all outstanding and unpaid Principal to be redeemed, multiplied by (b) the Redemption Premium (the “Event of Default Redemption Price”) plus (ii) an amount equal to all other Outstanding Amounts. Redemptions required by this Section 4(b) shall be made in accordance with the provisions of Section 8. To the extent redemptions are deemed or determined by a court of competent jurisdiction to be prepayments of this Note by the Company, such redemptions shall be deemed to be voluntary prepayments.
|
|
(c) Mandatory Redemption upon Bankruptcy Event of Default. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, and notwithstanding any conversion that is then required or in process, upon any Bankruptcy Event of Default, immediately and without notice, all outstanding and unpaid Outstanding Amounts due hereunder and under the other Transaction Documents plus the Bankruptcy Event of Default Redemption Premium, in each case shall automatically become immediately due and payable in cash, without presentment, demand, protest or any other notice of any kind, all of which are hereby expressly waived, anything contained herein to the contrary.
(d) Mandatory Redemption upon Liquidation Event of Default. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, and notwithstanding any conversion that is then required or in process, upon any Liquidation Event of Default, immediately and without notice, the Company shall pay to the Holder an amount in cash equal to the greater of: (i) the sum of (x)(I) all outstanding and unpaid Principal, multiplied by (II) the Redemption Premium, plus (y) an amount equal to all other Outstanding Amounts, and (ii) the amount of liquidation preference payable to the Holder if it has elected to convert this Note immediately prior to such Liquidation Event of Default, in each case which shall automatically become immediately due and payable in cash, without presentment, demand, protest or any other notice of any kind, all of which are hereby expressly waived, anything contained herein to the contrary; provided, that the Holder may, in its sole discretion, waive such right to receive payment upon a Liquidation Event of Default, in whole or in part, and any such waiver shall not affect any other rights of the Holder hereunder, including, any right to conversion, and any right to payment of the Event of Default Redemption Price or any other Redemption Price, as applicable.
5. FUNDAMENTAL TRANSACTION. In the event of any Fundamental Transaction pursuant to which holders of shares of Common Stock of the Company are entitled to receive securities or other assets with respect to or in exchange for shares of Common Stock of the Company (a “Corporate Event”), the Holder shall have the option, upon request, to demand payment in an amount of cash equal to the sum of (a)(i) all outstanding and unpaid Principal, multiplied by (ii) the Redemption Premium, plus (b) any other Outstanding Amounts, which payment shall be in full satisfaction of the obligations of the Company under this Note.
6. REDEMPTIONS AT THE COMPANY’S ELECTION.
(a) Company Optional Redemption. At any time, the Company shall have the right to redeem all, or any part, of the Outstanding Amount then remaining under this Note (each, a “Company Optional Redemption Amount”) on the Company Optional Redemption Date (each as defined below) (each, a “Company Optional Redemption”). The portion of this Note subject to redemption pursuant to this Section 6(a) shall be redeemed by the Company in cash at a price (each, a “Company Optional Redemption Price”) equal to the following (the “Redemption Price Schedule”):
(i) If the Company Optional Redemption Date occurs prior to the Maturity Date of this Note, then the Company Optional Redemption Price shall be equal to the sum of (A) (I) the Principal being redeemed as of such Company Optional Redemption Date multiplied by (II) 102%, plus (B) the accrued and unpaid interest as of such Company Optional Redemption Date;
|
|
(ii) If the Company Optional Redemption Date occurs on the Maturity Date, then the Company Optional Redemption Price shall be equal to the sum of (A) (I) the Principal being redeemed as of such Company Optional Redemption Date multiplied by (II) 100%, plus (B) the accrued and unpaid interest as of such Company Optional Redemption Date;
(b) The Company may exercise its right to require redemption under Section 6(a) by delivering five (5) business day prior written notice thereof by electronic mail to all, but not less than all, of the holders of Notes (each, a “Company Optional Redemption Notice” and the date all of the holders of Notes received such notice is referred to as a “Company Optional Redemption Notice Date”), with each such Company Optional Redemption Notice shall be irrevocable. Each Company Optional Redemption Notice shall (x) state the date on which the Company Optional Redemption shall occur (the “Company Optional Redemption Date”) which date shall not be less than five (5) days following the applicable Company Optional Redemption Notice Date, and (y) state the aggregate Outstanding Amount of the Notes which is being redeemed in such Company Optional Redemption from the Holder and all of the other holders of the Notes pursuant to this Section 6 on the Company Optional Redemption Date.
(c) All Outstanding Amounts converted by the Holder after a Company Optional Redemption Notice Date shall reduce the Company Optional Redemption Amount of this Note required to be redeemed on the Company Optional Redemption Date. Redemptions made pursuant to this Section 6 shall be made in accordance with Section 8. In the event of the Company’s redemption of any portion of this Note under this Section 6, the Holder’s damages would be uncertain and difficult to estimate because of the parties’ inability to predict future interest rates and the uncertainty of the availability of a suitable substitute investment opportunity for the Holder. Accordingly, any Redemption Premium due under this Section 6(a) is intended by the parties to be, and shall be deemed, a reasonable estimate of the Holder’s actual loss of its investment opportunity and not as a penalty.
(d) Pro Rata Redemption Requirement. If the Company elects to cause a Company Optional Redemption of this Note pursuant to Section 6(a) above, then it must simultaneously take the same action with respect to all of the Notes.
7. NONCIRCUMVENTION. The Company hereby covenants and agrees that the Company will not, by amendment of its Certificate of Incorporation (as defined in the Purchase Agreement), Bylaws (as defined in the Purchase Agreement) or through any reorganization, transfer of assets, consolidation, merger, scheme of arrangement, dissolution, issue or sale of securities, or any other voluntary action, avoid or seek to avoid the observance or performance of any of the terms of this Note, and will at all times in good faith carry out all of the provisions of this Note and take all action as may be required to protect the rights of the Holder of this Note.

8. REDEMPTIONS.
(a) Mechanics Company shall deliver the applicable Event of Default Redemption Price to the Holder in cash, as applicable, within five (5) Business Days after the Company’s receipt of an Event of Default Redemption Notice. The Company shall deliver the applicable Company Optional Redemption Price to the Holder in cash on the applicable Company Optional Redemption Date. Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, in connection with any redemption hereunder at a time the Holder is entitled to receive a cash payment under any of the other Transaction Documents, at the option of the Holder delivered in writing to the Company, the applicable Redemption Price hereunder shall be increased by the amount of such cash payment owed to the Holder under such other Transaction Document and, upon payment in full or conversion in accordance herewith, shall satisfy the Company’s payment obligation under such other Transaction Document. In the event of a redemption of less than all of the Outstanding Amount of this Note, the Company shall promptly cause to be issued and delivered to the Holder a new Note (in accordance with Section 13(d)) representing the outstanding Principal which has not been redeemed). In the event that the Company does not pay the applicable Redemption Price to the Holder within the time period required, at any time thereafter and until the Company pays such unpaid Redemption Price in full, the Holder shall have the option, in lieu of redemption, to require the Company to promptly return to the Holder all or any portion of this Note representing the Outstanding Amount that was submitted for redemption and for which the applicable Redemption Price has not been paid. Upon the Company’s receipt of such notice, (x) the applicable Redemption Notice shall be null and void with respect to such Outstanding Amount, and (y) the Company shall immediately return this Note, or issue a new Note (in accordance with Section 13(d), to the Holder, and in each case the principal amount of this Note or such new Note (as the case may be) shall be increased by an amount equal to the difference between (1) the applicable Redemption Price (as the case may be, and as adjusted pursuant to this Section 8, if applicable) minus (2) the Principal portion of the Outstanding Amount submitted for redemption.
9. VOTING RIGHTS. In the absence of conversion of this Note into the Common Stock, the Holder shall have no voting rights or other rights as a stockholder of the Company solely as the holder of this Note, except as required by law (including, without limitation, the Nevada Revised Statutes).
10. SECURITY. This Note is secured to the extent and in the manner set forth in the Transaction Documents (including, without limitation, the Security Agreement and any other Security Documents).
11. AMENDING THE TERMS OF THIS NOTE. The prior written consent of the Holder shall be required for any amendment, modification or waiver to this Note. Any amendment, modification or waiver so approved shall be binding upon all existing and future holders of this Note; provided, however, that no such change, waiver or, as applied to any of the Notes held by any particular holder of Notes, shall, without the written consent of that particular holder, (i) reduce the amount of Principal, reduce the amount of accrued and unpaid Interest, or extend the Maturity Date, of the Notes, (ii) disproportionally and adversely affect any rights under the Notes of any holder of Notes; or (iii) modify any of the provisions of, or impair the right of any holder of Notes under, this Section 11.
|
|
12. TRANSFER. This Note may not be offered, sold, assigned or transferred by the Holder without the consent of the Company, not to be unreasonably withheld, provided that no consent of the Company shall be required if either (x) an Event of Default shall have occurred or be continuing or (y) such assignment is to any Affiliate of the Holder, in each case upon surrender of the Note to the Company for registration of transfer, duly endorsed, or accompanied by a duly executed written instrument of transfer in form satisfactory to the Company. Thereupon, this Note shall be reissued to, and registered in the name of, the transferee, or a new Note for like principal amount and interest shall be issued to, and registered in the name of, the transferee. Interest and principal shall be paid solely to the registered holder of this Note.
13. REISSUANCE OF THIS NOTE.
(a) Transfer. If this Note is to be transferred, the Holder shall surrender this Note to the Company, whereupon the Company will forthwith issue and deliver upon the order of the Holder a new Note (in accordance with Section 13(d)), registered as the Holder may request, representing the outstanding Principal being transferred by the Holder and, if less than the entire outstanding Principal is being transferred, a new Note (in accordance with Section 13(d)) to the Holder representing the outstanding Principal not being transferred. The Holder and any assignee, by acceptance of this Note, acknowledge and agree that, following conversion or redemption of any portion of this Note, the outstanding Principal represented by this Note may be less than the Principal stated on the face of this Note.
(b) Lost, Stolen or Mutilated Note. Upon receipt by the Company of evidence reasonably satisfactory to the Company of the loss, theft, destruction or mutilation of this Note (as to which a written certification and the indemnification contemplated below shall suffice as such evidence), and, in the case of loss, theft or destruction, of any indemnification undertaking by the Holder to the Company in customary and reasonable form and, in the case of mutilation, upon surrender and cancellation of this Note, the Company shall execute and deliver to the Holder a new Note (in accordance with Section 13(d)) representing the outstanding Principal.
(c) Note Exchangeable for Different Denominations. This Note is exchangeable, upon the surrender hereof by the Holder at the principal office of the Company, for a new Note or Notes (in accordance with Section 13(d) and in principal amounts of at least $1,000) representing in the aggregate the outstanding Principal of this Note, and each such new Note will represent such portion of such outstanding Principal as is designated by the Holder at the time of such surrender.
(d) Issuance of New Notes. Whenever the Company is required to issue a new Note pursuant to the terms of this Note, such new Note (i) shall be of like tenor with this Note, (ii) shall represent, as indicated on the face of such new Note, the Principal remaining outstanding (or in the case of a new Note being issued pursuant to Section 13(a) or Section 13(c), the Principal designated by the Holder which, when added to the principal represented by the other new Notes issued in connection with such issuance, does not exceed the Principal remaining outstanding under this Note immediately prior to such issuance of new Notes), (iii) shall have an issuance date, as indicated on the face of such new Note, which is the same as the Issuance Date of this Note, and (iv) shall have the same rights and conditions as this Note.

14. REMEDIES, CHARACTERIZATIONS, OTHER OBLIGATIONS, BREACHES AND INJUNCTIVE RELIEF. The remedies provided in this Note shall be cumulative and in addition to all other remedies available under this Note and any of the other Transaction Documents at law or in equity (including a decree of specific performance and/or other injunctive relief), and nothing herein shall limit the Holder’s right to pursue actual and consequential damages for any failure by the Company to comply with the terms of this Note. No failure on the part of the Holder to exercise, and no delay in exercising, any right, power or remedy hereunder shall operate as a waiver thereof; nor shall any single or partial exercise by the Holder of any right, power or remedy preclude any other or further exercise thereof or the exercise of any other right, power or remedy. In addition, the exercise of any right or remedy of the Holder at law or equity or under this Note or any of the documents shall not be deemed to be an election of Holder’s rights or remedies under such documents or at law or equity. The Company covenants to the Holder that there shall be no characterization concerning this instrument other than as expressly provided herein. Amounts set forth or provided for herein with respect to payments, conversion and the like (and the computation thereof) shall be the amounts to be received by the Holder and shall not, except as expressly provided herein, be subject to any other obligation of the Company (or the performance thereof). The Company acknowledges that a breach by it of its obligations hereunder will cause irreparable harm to the Holder and that the remedy at law for any such breach may be inadequate. The Company therefore agrees that, in the event of any such breach or threatened breach, the Holder shall be entitled, in addition to all other available remedies, to specific performance and/or temporary, preliminary and permanent injunctive or other equitable relief from any court of competent jurisdiction in any such case without the necessity of proving actual damages and without posting a bond or other security. The Company shall provide all information and documentation to the Holder that is requested by the Holder to enable the Holder to confirm the Company’s compliance with the terms and conditions of this Note.
15. PAYMENT OF COLLECTION, ENFORCEMENT AND OTHER COSTS. If (a) this Note is placed in the hands of an attorney for collection or enforcement or is collected or enforced through any legal proceeding or the Holder otherwise takes action to collect amounts due under this Note or to enforce the provisions of this Note or (b) there occurs any bankruptcy, reorganization, receivership of the Company or other proceedings affecting Company creditors’ rights and involving a claim under this Note, then the Company shall pay the reasonable and documented costs incurred by the Holder for such collection, enforcement or action or in connection with such bankruptcy, reorganization, receivership or other proceeding, including, without limitation, attorneys’ fees and disbursements. The Company expressly acknowledges and agrees that no amounts due under this Note shall be affected, or limited, by the fact that the purchase price paid for this Note was less than the original Principal amount hereof.
16. RESERVED.

Unless the context clearly indicates otherwise, each pronoun herein shall be deemed to include the masculine, feminine, neuter, singular and plural forms thereof. The terms “including,” “includes,” “include” and words of like import shall be construed broadly as if followed by the words “without limitation.” The terms “herein,” “hereunder,” “hereof” and words of like import refer to this entire Note instead of just the provision in which they are found.

18. GOVERNING LAW. This Note shall be construed and enforced in accordance with, and all questions concerning the construction, validity, interpretation and performance of this Note shall be governed by, the internal laws of the State of New York, without giving effect to any choice of law or conflict of law provision or rule (whether of the State of New York or any other jurisdictions) that would cause the application of the laws of any jurisdictions other than the State of New York. The Company hereby irrevocably submits to the exclusive jurisdiction of the state and federal courts sitting in The City of New York, Borough of Manhattan, for the adjudication of any dispute hereunder or in connection herewith or with any transaction contemplated hereby or discussed herein, and hereby irrevocably waives, and agrees not to assert in any suit, action or proceeding, any claim that it is not personally subject to the jurisdiction of any such court, that such suit, action or proceeding is brought in an inconvenient forum or that the venue of such suit, action or proceeding is improper. Nothing contained herein shall be deemed to limit in any way any right to serve process in any manner permitted by law. Nothing contained herein shall be deemed to limit in any way any right to serve process in any manner permitted by law. Nothing contained herein shall be deemed or operate to preclude the Holder from bringing suit or taking other legal action against the Company in any other jurisdiction to collect on the Company’s obligations to the Holder, to realize on any collateral or any other security for such obligations, or to enforce a judgment or other court ruling in favor of the Holder. THE COMPANY HEREBY IRREVOCABLY WAIVES ANY RIGHT IT MAY HAVE TO, AND AGREES NOT TO REQUEST, A JURY TRIAL FOR THE ADJUDICATION OF ANY DISPUTE HEREUNDER OR IN CONNECTION WITH OR ARISING OUT OF THIS NOTE OR ANY TRANSACTION CONTEMPLATED HEREBY.
19. FAILURE OR INDULGENCE NOT WAIVER. No failure or delay on the part of the Holder in the exercise of any power, right or privilege hereunder shall operate as a waiver thereof, nor shall any single or partial exercise of any such power, right or privilege preclude other or further exercise thereof or of any other right, power or privilege. No waiver shall be effective unless it is in writing and signed by an authorized representative of the waiving party. Notwithstanding the foregoing, nothing contained in this Section 19 shall permit any waiver of any provision of Section 3(d).

Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the Company will give written notice to the Holder (i) immediately upon any adjustment of the Conversion Price, setting forth in reasonable detail, and certifying, the calculation of such adjustment and (ii) at least fifteen (15) days prior to the date on which the Company closes its books or takes a record for determining rights to vote with respect to any Fundamental Transaction, dissolution or liquidation, provided in each case that such information shall be made known to the public prior to or in conjunction with such notice being provided to the Holder.

All amounts denominated in other currencies (if any) shall be converted into the U.S. Dollar equivalent amount in accordance with the Exchange Rate on the date of calculation. “Exchange Rate” means, in relation to any amount of currency to be converted into U.S. Dollars pursuant to this Note, the U.S. Dollar exchange rate as published in the Wall Street Journal on the relevant date of calculation (it being understood and agreed that where an amount is calculated with reference to, or over, a period of time, the date of calculation shall be the final date of such period of time).
(c) Payments. Whenever any payment of cash is to be made by the Company to any Person pursuant to this Note, unless otherwise expressly set forth herein, such payment shall be made in lawful money of the United States of America by a certified check drawn on the account of the Company and sent via overnight courier service to such Person at such address as previously provided to the Company in writing (which address, in the case of the Buyer, shall initially be as set forth on the Schedule of Buyers attached to the Purchase Agreement), provided that the Holder may elect to receive a payment of cash via wire transfer of immediately available funds by providing the Company with prior written notice setting out such request and the Holder’s wire transfer instructions. Whenever any amount expressed to be due by the terms of this Note is due on any day which is not a Business Day, the same shall instead be due on the next succeeding day which is a Business Day.

23. SEVERABILITY. If any provision of this Note is prohibited by law or otherwise determined to be invalid or unenforceable by a court of competent jurisdiction, the provision that would otherwise be prohibited, invalid or unenforceable shall be deemed amended to apply to the broadest extent that it would be valid and enforceable, and the invalidity or unenforceability of such provision shall not affect the validity of the remaining provisions of this Note so long as this Note as so modified continues to express, without material change, the original intentions of the parties as to the subject matter hereof and the prohibited nature, invalidity or unenforceability of the provision(s) in question does not substantially impair the respective expectations or reciprocal obligations of the parties or the practical realization of the benefits that would otherwise be conferred upon the parties. The parties will endeavor in good faith negotiations to replace the prohibited, invalid or unenforceable provision(s) with a valid provision(s), the effect of which comes as close as possible to that of the prohibited, invalid or unenforceable provision(s).
|
|
24. MAXIMUM PAYMENTS. Without limiting Section 9(d) of the Purchase Agreement, nothing contained herein shall be deemed to establish or require the payment of a rate of interest or other charges in excess of the maximum permitted by applicable law. In the event that the rate of interest required to be paid or other charges hereunder exceed the maximum permitted by such law, any payments in excess of such maximum shall be credited against amounts owed by the Company to the Holder and thus refunded to the Company.
25. DISCLOSURE. Upon delivery by the Company to the Holder (or receipt by the Company from the Holder) of any notice in accordance with the terms of this Note, unless the Company has in good faith determined that the matters relating to such notice do not constitute material, non-public information relating to the Company or any of its Subsidiaries, the Company shall on or prior to 9:00 am, New York City time on the Business Day immediately following such notice delivery date, publicly disclose such material, non-public information on a Current Report on Form 8-K or otherwise. In the event that the Company believes that a notice contains material, non-public information relating to the Company or any of its Subsidiaries, the Company so shall indicate to the Holder explicitly in writing in such notice (or immediately upon receipt of notice from the Holder, as applicable), and in the absence of any such written indication in such notice (or notification from the Company immediately upon receipt of notice from the Holder), the Holder shall be entitled to presume that information contained in the notice does not constitute material, non-public information relating to the Company or any of its Subsidiaries. Nothing contained in this Section 25 shall limit any obligations of the Company, or any rights of the Holder, under Section 4(i) of the Purchase Agreement.
26. ABSENCE OF TRADING AND DISCLOSURE RESTRICTIONS. The Company acknowledges and agrees that the Holder is not a fiduciary or agent of the Company and that the Holder shall have no obligation to (a) maintain the confidentiality of any information provided by the Company or (b) refrain from trading any securities while in possession of such information in the absence of a written non-disclosure agreement signed by an officer of the Holder that explicitly provides for such confidentiality and trading restrictions. In the absence of such an executed, written non-disclosure agreement, the Company acknowledges that the Holder may freely trade in any securities issued by the Company to the extent that an exemption exists to registration requirements under the 1933 Act, may possess and use any information provided by the Company in connection with such trading activity, and may disclose any such information to any third party.

THIS WARRANT AND ANY SHARES OF COMMON STOCK ISSUABLE UPON ITS EXERCISE HAVE NOT BEEN REGISTERED UNDER THE SECURITIES ACT OF 1933 AND MAY NOT BE TRANSFERRED UNTIL (1) A REGISTRATION STATEMENT UNDER THE SECURITIES ACT OF 1933 (THE “ACT”) SHALL HAVE BECOME EFFECTIVE WITH RESPECT THERETO, OR (2) RECEIPT BY THE ISSUER OF AN OPINION OF COUNSEL REASONABLY SATISFACTORY TO THE ISSUER TO THE EFFECT THAT REGISTRATION UNDER THE ACT IS NOT REQUIRED IN CONNECTION WITH SUCH PROPOSED TRANSFER NOR IS SUCH TRANSFER IN VIOLATION OF ANY APPLICABLE STATE SECURITIES LAWS.
WARRANT TO PURCHASE COMMON STOCK
OF
SURGEPAYS, INC.
Dated as of May 12, 2025
This is to Certify That, FOR VALUE RECEIVED, Funicular Funds, L.P. (“Funicular”) or assigns (“Holder”), is entitled to purchase, subject to the provisions of this Warrant, from SurgePays, Inc., a Nevada corporation (“Company”), Seven Hundred Thousand (700,000) fully paid, validly issued and nonassessable shares (the “Warrant Shares”) of Common Stock of the Company (“Common Stock”) at a price of $6.00 per share (as may be adjusted pursuant to the terms herein, the “Exercise Price”) at any time or from time to time during the period from May 12, 2025 through May 12, 2030, (the “Exercise Period”) however, if such last day of the Exercise Period is not a trading day, then the immediately following trading day. The number of shares of Common Stock to be received upon the exercise of this Warrant and the price to be paid for each share of Common Stock may be adjusted from time to time as hereinafter set forth. This Warrant, together with warrants of like tenor for the purchase of an aggregate of Seven Hundred Thousand (700,000) shares of Common Stock issued pursuant to a Senior Secured Note Purchase Agreement dated May 12, 2025 (the “Purchase Agreement”), are referred to herein collectively as the “Warrants.”
(a) EXERCISE OF WARRANT.
(1) This Warrant may be exercised in whole or in part at any time or from time to time during the Exercise Period by presentation and surrender hereof to the Company at its principal office, or at the office of its stock transfer agent (the “Transfer Agent”), if any, with the Purchase Form annexed hereto duly executed and accompanied by payment of the Exercise Price for the number of Warrant Shares specified in such form. 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. The Holder and the Company shall maintain records showing the number of Warrant Shares purchased and the date of such purchases.. Upon receipt by the Company of this Warrant at its office, or by the Transfer Agent at its office, in proper form for exercise, the Holder shall be deemed to be the holder of record of the shares of Common Stock issuable upon such exercise, notwithstanding that the stock transfer books of the Company shall then be closed or that certificates representing such shares of Common Stock shall not then be physically delivered to the Holder, provided that payment of the aggregate Exercise Price (other than in the case of a cashless exercise) is received within the earlier of (i) two (2) trading days and (ii) the number of trading days comprising the Standard Settlement Period following delivery of the Purchase Form.
(2) At any time during the Exercise Period, if at the time of exercise hereof there is, for any reason, no effective registration statement registering, or the prospectus contained therein is not available for, the resale of the Warrant Shares by the Holder, the Holder may, at its option, exercise this Warrant on a cashless basis by exchanging this Warrant, in whole or in part (a “Warrant Exchange”), into the number of Warrant Shares determined in accordance with this Section (a)(2), by surrendering this Warrant at the principal office of the Company or at the office of its stock transfer agent, accompanied by the Purchase Form. The Warrant Exchange shall take place on the date the Purchase Form is received by the Company (the “Exchange Date”). Certificates for the shares issuable upon such Warrant Exchange, shall be issued as of the Exchange Date and delivered to the Holder within seven (7) days following the Exchange Date. In connection with any Warrant Exchange, this Warrant shall represent the right to subscribe for and acquire the number of Warrant Shares equal to (i) the number of Warrant Shares specified by the Holder in the Purchase Form (the “Total Number”) less (ii) the number of Warrant Shares equal to the quotient obtained by dividing (A) the product of the Total Number and the existing Exercise Price by (B) the current market value of a share of Common Stock. Current market value on the Exchange Date shall mean:
(A) If the Common Stock is listed on a national securities exchange or admitted to unlisted trading privileges on such exchange or listed for trading on The Nasdaq Stock Market, the current market value shall be the last reported sale price of the Common Stock on such exchange or market on the last business day prior to the date of exercise of this Warrant or if no such sale is made on such day, the average closing bid and asked prices for such day on such exchange or market; or
(B) If the Common Stock is not so listed or admitted to unlisted trading privileges, the current market value shall be the mean of the last reported bid and asked prices reported by the National Quotation Bureau, Inc. on the last business day prior to the date of the exercise of this Warrant; or
(C) If the Common Stock is not so listed or admitted to unlisted trading privileges and bid and asked prices are not so reported, the current market value shall be an amount, not less than book value thereof as at the end of the most recent fiscal year of the Company ending prior to the date of the exercise of the Warrant, determined in such reasonable manner as may be prescribed by the Board of Directors of the Company.
(3) The Company shall cause the Warrant Shares purchased hereunder to be transmitted by the 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 (A) there is an effective registration statement permitting the resale of the Warrant Shares by the Holder or (B) this Warrant is being exercised via cashless exercise and such Warrant Shares are freely tradable without volume limitation, and otherwise by physical delivery of a certificate, registered in the Company’s share register in the name of the Holder or its designee, for the number of Warrant Shares to which the Holder is entitled pursuant to such exercise to the address specified by the Holder in the Purchase Form by the date that is the earliest of (i) two (2) trading days after the delivery to the Company of the Purchase Form, (ii) one (1) trading day after delivery of the aggregate Exercise Price to the Company and (iii) the number of trading days comprising the Standard Settlement Period after the delivery to the Company of the Purchase Form (such date, the “Warrant Share Delivery Date”). Upon delivery of the Purchase Form, the Holder shall be deemed for all corporate 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 Warrant Shares, provided that payment of the aggregate Exercise Price (other than in the case of a cashless exercise) is received within the earlier of (i) two (2) trading days and (ii) the number of trading days comprising the Standard Settlement Period following delivery of the Purchase Form. 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. As used herein, “Standard Settlement Period” means the standard settlement period, expressed in a number of trading days, on the Company’s primary trading market with respect to the Common Stock as in effect on the date of delivery of the Purchase Form.
(b) RESERVATION OF SHARES. The Company shall at all times reserve for issuance and/or delivery upon exercise of this Warrant such number of shares of its Common Stock as shall be required for issuance and delivery upon exercise of the Warrants.
(c) FRACTIONAL SHARES. No fractional shares or script representing fractional shares shall be issued upon the exercise of this Warrant. With respect to any fraction of a share called for upon any exercise hereof, the Company shall either pay to the Holder an amount in cash equal to such fraction multiplied by the Exercise Price or round up to the next whole share.
(d) RIGHTS OF THE HOLDER. The Holder shall not, by virtue hereof, be entitled to any rights of a shareholder in the Company, either at law or equity, and the rights of the Holder are limited to those expressed in the Warrant and are not enforceable against the Company except to the extent set forth herein.
(e) ANTI-DILUTION PROVISIONS. The Exercise Price in effect at any time and the number and kind of securities purchasable upon the exercise of the Warrants shall be subject to adjustment from time to time upon the happening of certain events as follows:
(1) In case the Company shall (i) declare a dividend or make a distribution on its outstanding shares of Common Stock in shares of Common Stock, (ii) subdivide or reclassify its outstanding shares of Common Stock into a greater number of shares, or (iii) combine or reclassify its outstanding shares of Common Stock into a smaller number of shares, the Exercise Price in effect at the time of the record date for such dividend or distribution or of the effective date of such subdivision, combination or reclassification shall be adjusted so that it shall equal the price determined by multiplying the Exercise Price by a fraction, the denominator of which shall be the number of shares of Common Stock outstanding after giving effect to such action, and the numerator of which shall be the number of shares of Common Stock outstanding immediately prior to such action, 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.. Such adjustment shall be made successively whenever any event listed above shall occur.
(2) In the event that at any time, as a result of an adjustment made pursuant to Subsection (1) above, the Holder of this Warrant thereafter shall become entitled to receive any shares of the Company, other than Common Stock, thereafter the number of such other shares so receivable upon exercise of this Warrant shall be subject to adjustment from time to time in a manner and on terms as nearly equivalent as practicable to the provisions with respect to the Common Stock contained in Subsection (1) above.
(3) Irrespective of any adjustments in the Exercise Price or the number or kind of shares purchasable upon exercise of this Warrant, Warrants theretofore or thereafter issued may continue to express the same price and number and kind of shares as are stated in the similar Warrants initially issuable pursuant to this Agreement.
(4) If at any time the Company grants, issues or sells any Common Stock or rights to purchase stock, warrants, securities or other property pro rata to the record holders of any class of shares 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 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 (as defined in Section (f) below)) 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 shares 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 shares of 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).
(f) EXERCISE LIMITATION. 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 (a) or otherwise, to the extent that after giving effect to such issuance after exercise as set forth on the applicable Purchase Form, the Holder (together with the Holder’s affiliates, and any other persons acting as a group together with the Holder or any of the Holder’s affiliates), would beneficially own in excess of the Beneficial Ownership Limitation (as defined below). For purposes of this Section (f), beneficial ownership shall be calculated in accordance with Section 13(d) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 and the rules and regulations promulgated thereunder. The “Beneficial Ownership Limitation” shall be 4.99% of the number of shares of the Common Stock outstanding immediately after giving effect to the issuance of shares of Common Stock issuable upon exercise of this Warrant. The Holder, upon notice to the Company, may increase or decrease the Beneficial Ownership Limitation provisions of this Section (f), provided that the Beneficial Ownership Limitation in no event exceeds 19.99% of the number of shares of the Common Stock outstanding immediately after giving effect to the issuance of shares of Common Stock upon exercise of this Warrant held by the Holder, which increase will not be effective until the 61st day after such notice is delivered to the Company.
(g) NOTICES TO WARRANT HOLDERS. So long as the Warrants shall be outstanding, (i) if the Company shall pay any dividend or make any distribution upon the Common Stock or (ii) if the Company shall offer to the holders of Common Stock for subscription or purchase by them any share of any class or any other rights or (iii) if any capital reorganization of the Company, reclassification of the capital stock of the Company, consolidation or merger of the Company with or into another corporation, sale, lease or transfer of all or substantially all of the property and assets of the Company to another corporation, or voluntary or involuntary dissolution, liquidation or winding up of the Company shall be effected, then in any such case, the Company shall cause to be mailed by certified mail to the Holder, at least fifteen days prior the date specified in (x) or (y) below, as the case may be, a notice containing a brief description of the proposed action and stating the date on which (x) a record is to be taken for the purpose of such dividend, distribution or rights, or (y) such reclassification, reorganization, consolidation, merger, conveyance, lease, dissolution, liquidation or winding up is to take place and the date, if any is to be fixed, as of which the holders of Common Stock or other securities shall receive cash or other property deliverable upon such reclassification, reorganization, consolidation, merger, conveyance, dissolution, liquidation or winding up.
(h) RECLASSIFICATION, REORGANIZATION OR MERGER. In case of any reclassification, capital reorganization or other change of outstanding shares of Common Stock of the Company, or in case of any consolidation or merger of the Company with or into another corporation (other than a merger with a subsidiary in which merger the Company is the continuing corporation and which does not result in any reclassification, capital reorganization or other change of outstanding shares of Common Stock of the class issuable upon exercise of this Warrant) or in case of any sale, lease or conveyance to another corporation of the property of the Company as an entirety, the Company shall, as a condition precedent to such transaction, cause effective provisions to be made so that the Holder shall have the right thereafter by exercising this Warrant at any time prior to the expiration of the Warrant, to purchase the kind and amount of shares of stock and other securities and property receivable upon such reclassification, capital reorganization and other change, consolidation, merger, sale or conveyance by a holder of the number of shares of Common Stock which might have been purchased upon exercise of this Warrant immediately prior to such reclassification, change, consolidation, merger, sale or conveyance. Any such provision shall include provision for adjustments which shall be as nearly equivalent as may be practicable to the adjustments provided for in this Warrant. The foregoing provisions of this Section (h) shall similarly apply to successive reclassifications, capital reorganizations and changes of shares of Common Stock and to successive consolidations, mergers, sales or conveyances. In the event that in connection with any such capital reorganization or reclassification, consolidation, merger, sale or conveyance, additional shares of Common Stock shall be issued in exchange, conversion, substitution or payment, in whole or in part, for a security of the Company other than Common Stock, any such issue shall be treated as an issue of Common Stock covered by the provisions of Subsection (1) of Section (e) hereof.
(i) COMPENSATION FOR BUY-IN. In addition to any other rights available to the Holder, if the Company fails to use commercially reasonable efforts to cause the Transfer Agent to transmit to the Holder the Warrant Shares in accordance with the provisions of Section (a)(4) above pursuant to an exercise on or before the 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, shares of 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 the amount, if any, by which (x) the Holder’s total purchase price (including brokerage commissions, if any) for the shares of Common Stock so purchased exceeds (y) the amount obtained by multiplying (1) the number of Warrant Shares that the Company was required to deliver to the Holder in connection with the exercise at issue times (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 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 Common Stock having a total purchase price of $11,000 to cover a Buy-In with respect to an attempted exercise of shares 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 shares of Common Stock upon exercise of the Warrant as required pursuant to the terms hereof.
(j) TRANSFER RESTRICTIONS. If, at the time of the surrender of this Warrant in connection with any transfer of this Warrant, the transfer of this Warrant shall not be either (i) registered pursuant to an effective registration statement under the Securities Act and under applicable state securities or blue sky laws or (ii) eligible for resale without volume or manner-of-sale restrictions or current public information requirements pursuant to Rule 144, the Company may require, as a condition of allowing such transfer, that the Holder or transferee of this Warrant, as the case may be, provides to the Company an opinion of counsel in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to the Company to the effect that the transfer of this Warrant does not require registration under the Securities Act.
(k) REPRESENTATION BY THE HOLDER. The Holder, by the acceptance hereof, represents and warrants that it is acquiring this Warrant and, upon any exercise hereof, will acquire the Warrant Shares issuable upon such exercise, for its own account and not with a view to or for distributing or reselling such Warrant Shares or any part thereof in violation of the Securities Act or any applicable state securities law, except pursuant to sales registered or exempted under the Securities Act.
(l) JURISDICTION. All questions concerning the construction, validity, enforcement and interpretation of this Warrant shall be determined in accordance with the provisions of the Purchase Agreement.
(m) RESTRICTIONS. The Holder acknowledges that the Warrant Shares acquired upon the exercise of this Warrant, if not registered, and the Holder does not utilize cashless exercise, will have restrictions upon resale imposed by state and federal securities laws.
(n) SEVERABILITY. Wherever possible, each provision of this Warrant shall be interpreted in such manner as to be effective and valid under applicable law, but if any provision of this Warrant shall be prohibited by or invalid under applicable law, such provision shall be ineffective to the extent of such prohibition or invalidity, without invalidating the remainder of such provisions or the remaining provisions of this Warrant.
(o) AMENDMENTS, ETC. The provisions of this Warrant may from time to time be amended, modified or waived, if such amendment, modification or waiver is applicable to all of the Warrants and is in writing and consented to by the Company and the holders of at least a majority of the Warrant Shares issuable upon exercise of the Warrants, including Funicular if it then holds any Warrants, and such amendment, modification or waiver shall be binding upon the holder of this Warrant (and any assignee thereof) regardless of whether the Holder consented to such amendment, modification or waiver; provided that nothing shall prevent the Company and a registered holder from consenting to modifications to this Warrant which affect or are applicable to such registered holder only.

NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the premises and the agreements herein and in order to induce the Buyers to purchase the notes under the Purchase Agreement, each Guarantor hereby agrees with the Collateral Agent as follows:

The obligations of each Guarantor under this Guaranty are independent of the Guaranteed Obligations, and a separate action or actions may be brought and prosecuted against any Guarantor to enforce such obligations, irrespective of whether any action is brought against any Transaction Party or whether any Transaction Party is joined in any such action or actions. The liability of any Guarantor under this Guaranty shall be as a primary obligor (and not merely as a surety) and shall be irrevocable, absolute and unconditional irrespective of, and each Guarantor hereby irrevocably waives, to the extent permitted by law, any defenses it may now or hereafter have in any way relating to, any or all of the following:

(ii) any change in the time, manner or place of payment of, or in any other term of, all or any of the Guaranteed Obligations, or any other amendment or waiver of or any consent to departure from any Transaction Document, including, without limitation, any increase in the Guaranteed Obligations resulting from the extension of additional credit to any Transaction Party or extension of the maturity of any Guaranteed Obligations or otherwise;

(vii) any failure of the Collateral Agent or any other Secured Party to disclose to any Transaction Party any information relating to the business, condition (financial or otherwise), operations, performance, or properties of any other Transaction Party now or hereafter known to the Collateral Agent or any other Secured Party (each Guarantor waiving any duty on the part of the Collateral Agent or any other Secured Party to disclose such information);
|
|
(viii) taking any action in furtherance of the release of any Guarantor or any other Person that is liable for the Obligations from all or any part of any liability arising under or in connection with any Transaction Document without the prior written consent of the Collateral Agent; or
(ix) any other circumstance (including, without limitation, any statute of limitations) or any existence of or reliance on any representation by the Collateral Agent or any other Secured Party that might otherwise constitute a defense available to, or a discharge of, any Transaction Party or any other guarantor or surety, other than the defense of Payment in Full of the Guaranteed Obligations (other than inchoate indemnity obligations).
(b) This Guaranty shall continue to be effective or be reinstated, as the case may be, if at any time any payment of any of the Guaranteed Obligations is rescinded or must otherwise be returned by the Collateral Agent, any other Secured Party, or any other Person upon the insolvency, bankruptcy or reorganization of any Transaction Party or otherwise, all as though such payment had not been made.
(c) This Guaranty is a continuing guaranty and shall (i) remain in full force and effect until Payment in Full of the Guaranteed Obligations (other than inchoate indemnity obligations) and shall not terminate for any reason prior to the respective Maturity Date of each Note (other than Payment in Full of the Guaranteed Obligations) and (ii) be binding upon each Guarantor and its respective successors and assigns. This Guaranty shall inure to the benefit of and be enforceable by the Collateral Agent on behalf of the Secured Parties and its respective successors, and permitted pledgees, transferees and assigns. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing sentence, the Collateral Agent or any other Secured Party may pledge, assign or otherwise transfer all or any portion of its rights and obligations under and subject to the terms of any Transaction Document to any other Person, and such other Person shall thereupon become vested with all the benefits in respect thereof granted to the Collateral Agent or such Secured Party (as applicable) herein or otherwise, in each case as provided in the Purchase Agreement or such Transaction Document.
SECTION 4. Waivers. To the extent permitted by applicable law, each Guarantor hereby waives promptness, diligence, protest, notice of acceptance and any other notice or formality of any kind with respect to any of the Guaranteed Obligations and this Guaranty and any requirement that the Collateral Agent exhaust any right or take any action against any Transaction Party or any other Person or any Collateral. Each Guarantor acknowledges that it will receive direct and indirect benefits from the financing arrangements contemplated herein and that the waiver set forth in this Section 4 is knowingly made in contemplation of such benefits. The Guarantors hereby waive any right to revoke this Guaranty, and acknowledge that this Guaranty is continuing in nature and applies to all Guaranteed Obligations, whether existing now or in the future. Without limiting the foregoing, to the extent permitted by applicable law, each Guarantor hereby unconditionally and irrevocably waives (a) any defense arising by reason of any claim or defense based upon an election of remedies by the Collateral Agent or any other Secured Party that in any manner impairs, reduces, releases or otherwise adversely affects the subrogation, reimbursement, exoneration, contribution or indemnification rights of such Guarantor or other rights of such Guarantor to proceed against any of the other Transaction Parties, any other guarantor or any other Person or any Collateral, and (b) any defense based on any right of set-off or counterclaim against or in respect of the Guaranteed Obligations of such Guarantor hereunder. Each Guarantor hereby unconditionally and irrevocably waives any duty on the part of the Collateral Agent or any other Secured Party to disclose to such Guarantor any matter, fact or thing relating to the business, condition (financial or otherwise), operations, performance, or properties of any other Transaction Party or any of its Subsidiaries now or hereafter known by the Collateral Agent or a Secured Party.
|

SECTION 5. Subrogation. No Guarantor may exercise any rights that it may now or hereafter acquire against any Transaction Party or any other guarantor that arise from the existence, payment, performance or enforcement of any Guarantor’s obligations under this Guaranty, including, without limitation, any right of subrogation, reimbursement, exoneration, contribution or indemnification and any right to participate in any claim or remedy of the Collateral Agent or any other Secured Party against any Transaction Party or any other guarantor or any Collateral, whether or not such claim, remedy or right arises in equity or under contract, statute or common law, including, without limitation, the right to take or receive from any Transaction Party or any other guarantor, directly or indirectly, in cash or other property or by set-off or in any other manner, payment or security solely on account of such claim, remedy or right, unless and until there has been Payment in Full of the Guaranteed Obligations. If any amount shall be paid to a Guarantor in violation of the immediately preceding sentence at any time prior to Payment in Full of the Guaranteed Obligations and all other amounts payable under this Guaranty, such amount shall be held in trust for the benefit of the Collateral Agent and shall forthwith be paid to the Collateral Agent to be credited and applied to the Guaranteed Obligations and all other amounts payable under this Guaranty, whether matured or unmatured, in accordance with the terms of the Transaction Document, or to be held as Collateral for any Guaranteed Obligations or other amounts payable under this Guaranty thereafter arising. If (a) any Guarantor shall make payment to the Collateral Agent of all or any part of the Guaranteed Obligations, and (b) there has been Payment in Full of the Guaranteed Obligations (other than inchoate indemnity obligations), the Collateral Agent will, at such Guarantor’s request and expense, execute and deliver to such Guarantor appropriate documents, without recourse and without representation or warranty, necessary to evidence the transfer by subrogation to such Guarantor of an interest in the Guaranteed Obligations resulting from such payment by such Guarantor.
SECTION 6. Right of Set-off. Upon the occurrence and during the continuance of any Event of Default, the Collateral Agent may, and is hereby authorized to, at any time and from time to time, without notice to the Guarantors (any such notice being expressly waived by each Guarantor) and to the fullest extent permitted by law, set-off and apply any and all deposits (general or special, time or demand, provisional or final) at any time held and other indebtedness at any time owing by the Collateral Agent or any other Secured Party to or for the credit or the account of any Guarantor against any and all obligations of the Guarantors now or hereafter existing under this Guaranty or any other Transaction Document, irrespective of whether or not the Collateral Agent or any other Secured Party shall have made any demand under this Guaranty or any other Transaction Document and although such obligations may be contingent or unmatured. The Collateral Agent agrees to notify the relevant Guarantor promptly after any such set-off and application made by the Collateral Agent or such Secured Party on behalf of the Collateral Agent, provided that the failure to give such notice shall not affect the validity of such set-off and application. The rights of the Collateral Agent under this Section 6 are in addition to other rights and remedies (including, without limitation, other rights of set-off) which the Collateral Agent or such Secured Party may have under this Guaranty or any other Transaction Document in law or otherwise.

(b) No amendment or waiver of any provision of this Guaranty and no consent to any departure by any Guarantor therefrom shall in any event be effective unless the same shall be in writing and signed by each Guarantor and the Collateral Agent, and then such waiver or consent shall be effective only in the specific instance and for the specific purpose for which given.
(c) No failure on the part of the Collateral Agent to exercise, and no delay in exercising, any right or remedy hereunder or under any other Transaction Document shall operate as a waiver thereof, nor shall any single or partial exercise of any right hereunder or under any Transaction Document preclude any other or further exercise thereof or the exercise of any other right or remedy.

None of the rights or obligations of any Guarantor hereunder may be assigned or otherwise transferred without the prior written consent of each Secured Party.

The Note has a principal amount of $7 million and matures two years from the date of issuance. Beginning eight months after issuance, the note becomes convertible into shares of the Company’s common stock at a fixed price of $4.00 per share, a premium to the closing share price on May 13, 2025. The aggregate purchase price for the Note consists of $6 million in cash plus the repurchase by the Company of 333,333 shares of the holder’s existing equity position. Additionally, the Note includes a prepayment option by the Company, in whole or in part, at any time with 5 days advance notice at a 2% premium to the principal amount plus accrued interest.
