Item 1.01 Entry into a Material Definitive Agreement.

 

NTI Exchange Agreement

 

Effective as of May 28, 2025, the Company and NTI entered into an agreement (the “NTI Exchange Agreement”) pursuant to which the parties agreed to exchange 801,196 shares of Class A Common Stock of NTI held by the Company, representing 19.9% of the outstanding common shares of NTI, for 6,300 shares of Series A Preferred Stock of NTI. Immediately prior to the execution of the NTI Exchange Agreement, the Company was the holder of 4,029,729 shares of Class A Common Stock of NTI.

 

Each share of NTI Series A Preferred Stock has a stated value of $1,000, which, along with any additional amounts accrued thereon (collectively, the “Conversion Amount”) is convertible into shares of NTI’s Class A Common Stock at any time after the earlier of (a) the Class A Common Stock being listed for trading on the Nasdaq Stock Market or the New York Stock Exchange (a “Qualified Exchange”), and (b) the seventh (7th) anniversary of the issuance of the NTI Series A Preferred Stock. The initial conversion price of the NTI Series A Preferred Stock is equal to $7.86 per share, subject to adjustments, including customary adjustments for stock dividends or other distributions payable in securities, stock splits, reclassifications, mergers, reorganizations and the like.

 

Each share of NTI Series A Preferred Stock will automatically convert into shares of NTI’s Class A Common Stock upon the earlier of (a) the closing of the sale of shares of Class A Common Stock to the public at a price of at least $10.00 per share (subject to appropriate adjustment in the event of any stock dividend, stock split, combination or other similar recapitalization with respect to the Class A Common Stock), in a best efforts or firm-commitment underwritten public offering pursuant to an effective registration statement under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, resulting in at least $10,000,000 of gross proceeds to NTI and in connection with such offering the shares of Class A Common Stock are listed for trading on a Qualified Exchange (a “Qualified IPO”) at a conversion price equal to the price per share at which NTI issues shares of Class A Common Stock to the public in the Qualified IPO, if, and only if, the offer, sale, and resale of Class A Common Stock issuable to a holder of NTI Series A Preferred Stock upon conversion of such NTI Series A Preferred Stock are covered by an effective registration statement under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”) and (b) immediately prior to the closing of either a transaction or series of related transactions in which a person, or a group of related persons, acquires from stockholders of NTI shares representing more than fifty percent (50%) of the outstanding voting power of NTI or a transaction that qualifies as a “deemed liquidation event” under the terms of the NTI Series A Preferred Stock (a “Sale of the Company”), and the Common Stock of the Corporation is converted into, exchanged for, or acquired for securities that are listed for trading on a Qualified Exchange (“Qualified Securities”) at a conversion price equal to the closing sale price per Qualified Security on the date of the closing of the Sale of the Company, so long as the offer, sale, and resale of the Qualified Securities issuable to a holder of NTI Series A Preferred Stock upon conversion of such NTI Series A Preferred Stock and closing of a Sale of the Company are covered by an effective registration statement under the the Securities Act.

 

No conversion of NTI Series A Preferred Stock may be effected if, after giving effect to the conversion or issuance, the Company, together with its affiliates, would beneficially own in excess of 19.99% of NTI’s outstanding common stock. Shares of Series A Preferred Stock of NTI have no dividend preference, but NTI cannot issue a dividend to holders of its common stock unless the holders of the NTI Series A Preferred Stock receive a pro rata portion, on an as-if converted basis, of any dividends payable on NTI common stock.

 

The NTI Series A Preferred Stock ranks senior to NTI common stock. Other than those rights provided by law, the holders of NTI Series Preferred A Stock have no voting rights. The NTI Series A Preferred Stock is redeemable at the option of NTI.

Certificate of Amendment to the Series C-1 Certificate of Designation

 

Series C-1 Preferred

 

On October 14, 2024, we filed with the Nevada Secretary of State the Series C-1 Certificate of Designation. Thirty thousand three hundred seventy five (30,375) shares of Series C-1 Preferred with a stated value of $1,000.00 per share were authorized under the Series C-1 Certificate of Designation.

 

Each share of Series C-1 Preferred has a stated value of $1,000.00, which is convertible into shares of our common stock at a conversion price equal to $12.345 (after giving to 1-for-12 reverse stock split effected by the Company on March 18, 2025 (the “Reverse Stock Split”)), subject to adjustments set forth in the Series C-1 Certificate of Designation. The Series C-1 Preferred may not be converted into shares of our common stock unless and until our stockholders approve the issuance of common stock upon conversion of the Series C-1 Preferred. Each share of Series C-1 Preferred shall automatically convert into our common stock if our stockholders provide such approval, except that we may not effect such conversion for a holder of Series C-1 Preferred if, after giving effect to the conversion or issuance, such holder, together with its affiliates, would beneficially own in excess of 19.99% of our outstanding common stock.

 

Commencing on the ninety-first (91st) day after the first issuance of any Series C-1 Preferred, the holders of Series C-1 Preferred are entitled to receive dividends on the stated value at the rate of two percent (2%) per annum, payable in shares of our common stock at the conversion price. Such dividends shall continue to accrue until paid. Such dividends will not be paid in shares of our common stock unless and until our stockholders approve the issuance of common stock upon conversion of the Series C-1 Preferred. The holders of Series C-1 Preferred shall also be entitled to receive a pro-rata portion, on an as-if convertible basis, of any dividends payable on our common stock.

 

The Series C-1 Preferred ranks senior to our common stock and junior to the Series C-2 Preferred. Subject to the rights of the holders of any senior securities, in the event of any voluntary or involuntary liquidation, dissolution, or winding up, or sale of our company, each holder of Series C-1 Preferred shall be entitled to receive its pro rata portion of an aggregate payment equal to the amount as would be paid on our common stock issuable upon conversion of the Series C-1 Preferred, determined on an as-converted basis, without regard to any beneficial ownership limitation.

 

Other than those rights provided by law, the Series C-1 Preferred shares have no voting rights. Prior to the filing of the Certificate of Amendment to the Series C-1 Certificate of Designation (as defined below), the Series C-1 Preferred were not redeemable.

 

The foregoing summary of the Series C-1 Certificate of Designation is not complete and is qualified in its entirety by reference to the Series C-1 Certificate of Designation, a copy of which was filed as Exhibit 3.2 to a Current Report on Form 8-K filed on October 15, 2024 and is incorporated herein by reference.

 

Amended Series C-1 Certificate of Designation

 

On May 28, 2025, we filed with the Nevada Secretary of State a certificate of amendment to the Series C-1 Certificate of Designation (the “Certificate of Amendment to the Series C-1 Certificate of Designation”) pursuant to which, the Company is entitled to redeem at the Company’s option (the “Corporation Optional Redemption”) at any time or from time to time upon not less than 2 calendar days written notice to the holders prior to the date fixed for redemption thereof, at a redemption price of 113.855837742504 shares of Class A Common Stock of NTI for each share of Series C-1 Preferred being redeemed.

 

 

 

The foregoing summary of the Certificate of Amendment to the Series C-1 Certificate of Designation is not complete and is qualified in its entirety by reference to the Certificate of Amendment to the Series C-2 Certificate of Designation, which is attached hereto as Exhibit 4.1 and is incorporated herein by reference.

 

Certificate of Amendment to the Series C-2 Certificate of Designation

 

Series C-2 Preferred

 

On October 14, 2024, we filed with the Nevada Secretary of State the Series C-2 Certificate of Designation, which sets forth the rights, preferences, and privileges of the Series C-2 Preferred. Eight thousand five hundred seventy six (8,576) shares of Series C-2 Preferred with a stated value of $1,000.00 per share were authorized under the Series C-2 Certificate of Designation.

 

Each share of Series C-2 Preferred has a stated value of $1,000.00, which, along with any additional amounts accrued thereon pursuant to the terms of the Series C-2 Certificate of Designation (collectively, the “Conversion Amount”) is convertible into shares of our common stock. The initial conversion price of the Series C-2 Preferred was equal to $8.2716 per share (as adjusted for the Reverse Stock Split), subject to adjustments set forth in the Series C-2 Certificate of Designation, including customary adjustments for stock dividends, stock splits, reclassifications and the like, and price-based adjustment in the event of any issuances of Common Shares, or securities convertible, exercisable or exchangeable for Common Shares, at a price below the then applicable conversion price (subject to certain exceptions). Pursuant to the foregoing adjustment provisions in the Series C-2 Certificate of Designation, the conversion price of the Series C-2 Preferred was adjusted to $1.61 per share on May 1, 2025.

 

The Series C-2 Preferred may not be converted into shares of our common stock unless and until our stockholders approve the issuance of common stock upon conversion of the Series C-2 Preferred. Each share of Series C-2 Preferred shall become convertible into our common stock at the option of the holder of such Series C-2 Preferred shares if the our stockholders approve the issuance of common stock upon conversion of the Series C-2 Preferred, except that we may not effect such conversion for any holder of Series C-2 Preferred if, after giving effect to the conversion or issuance, such holder, together with its affiliates, would beneficially own in excess of 9.99% of our outstanding common stock.

 

Pursuant to the Series C-2 Certificate of Designation, commencing on the ninety-first (91st) day after the first issuance of any Series C-2 Preferred, the holders of Series C-2 Preferred were entitled to receive dividends on the stated value at the rate of ten percent (10%) per annum, payable in shares of our common stock, with each payment of a dividend payable in shares of our common stock at a conversion price of eighty-five percent (85%) of the average of the volume weighted average price of our common stock for the five (5) trading days before the applicable dividend date. Such dividends continue to accrue until paid. Such dividends will not be paid in shares of our common stock unless and until our stockholders approved the issuance of common stock upon conversion of the Series C-2 Preferred. The holders of Series C-2 Preferred are also entitled to receive a pro-rata portion, on an as-if convertible basis, of any dividends payable on our common stock.

 

The Series C-2 Preferred ranks senior to our common stock and to our Series C-1 Preferred. Subject to the rights of the holders of any senior securities, in the event of any voluntary or involuntary liquidation, dissolution, or winding up, or sale of our company, each holder of Series C-2 Preferred shall be entitled to receive its pro rata portion of an aggregate payment equal to the greater of (a) 125% of the Conversion Amount with respect to such shares, and (b) the amount as would be paid on our common stock issuable upon conversion of the Series C-2 Preferred, determined on an as-converted basis, without regard to any beneficial ownership limitation.

 

Other than those rights provided by law, the Series C-2 Preferred has no voting rights. The Series C-2 Preferred is only redeemable upon a “Bankruptcy Triggering Event” or a “Change of Control” that occurs after May 9, 2025.

 

The foregoing summary of the Series C-2 Certificate of Designation is not complete and is qualified in its entirety by reference to the Series C-2 Certificate of Designation, a copy of which was filed as Exhibit 3.3 to the Current Report on Form 8-K filed on October 15, 2024 and is incorporated herein by reference.

In addition, upon issuance of AIR Preferred Shares (as defined above), the conversion price of the Series C-2 Preferred shall be deemed to be the lowest of (i) the conversion price as in effect on the date that the Holder exercises its Additional Investment Right (as defined above), and (ii) the greater of (x) the Floor Price (as defined in the Certificate of Amendment to the Series C-2 Certificate of Designations) and (y) 85% of the arithmetic average of the three (3) lowest VWAPs during the ten (10) trading days prior to the date of the exercise of the Additional Investment Right.

 

The foregoing summary of the Certificate of Amendment to the Series C-2 Certificate of Designation is not complete and is qualified in its entirety by reference to the Certificate of Amendment to the Series C-2 Certificate of Designation, which is attached hereto as Exhibit 4.2 and is incorporated herein by reference.

 

Amended and Restated Debenture

 

The Debenture

 

On October 11, 2024, the Company issued the Debenture to FNL. The Debenture carried an interest rate of seven percent (7%) per annum, payable on the first business day of each calendar month commencing November 1, 2024. The maturity date of the Debenture was December 11, 2025 (the “Maturity Date”), at which point the outstanding principal amount, together with any accrued and unpaid interest and other fees, would have became due and payable to FNL.

 

At any time after the Company’s stockholders approved the issuance of any Company common stock upon conversion of the Debenture, FNL would have been entitled to convert any portion of the outstanding and unpaid principal amount and accrued interest into shares of Company common stock at a conversion price of $11.1666 per share, subject to adjustment as described therein. The Debenture could not be converted and shares of Company common stock could not be issued upon conversion of the Debenture if, after giving effect to the conversion or issuance, FNL, together with its affiliates, would beneficially own in excess of 4.99% of the outstanding common stock of the Company. Pursuant to the adjustment provisions in the Debenture, the conversion price of the Debenture was reset to $1.61 per share.

 

The Company could not prepay the Debenture without the prior written consent of FNL.

 

Commencing March 14, 2025 and on the 14th of each month thereafter until the Maturity Date, the Company was required to redeem $437,127.24, plus accrued but unpaid interest and other fees, of the principal amount of the Debenture.

 

While any portion of the Debenture was outstanding, if the Company received gross proceeds of more than $3,000,000 from any equity or debt financings (other than a public offering as described herein), the Company was required to, at the option of the holder, apply one-third (1/3) of such gross proceeds to the redemption of the principal amount of the Debenture, except that if such equity or debt financing was a public offering of the Company’s securities pursuant to a registration statement on Form S-1, the Company was required to, at the option of the holder, apply one hundred percent (100%) of such gross proceeds, not to exceed $500,000, to the redemption of the principal amount of the Debenture. The Company also agreed that, if it received gross proceeds of more than $2,000,000 from any equity or debt financing, it would, at the option of the holder, apply $500,000 of such gross proceeds to the redemption of the principal amount of the Debenture.

 

The Debenture contained events representations, warranties, covenants, and events of default that are customary for similar transactions. Upon an event of default, the Debenture became immediately due and payable, and the borrower was subject to a default rate of interest of 15% per annum and a default sum as stipulated.

The Amended and Restated Debenture may not be converted and shares of Company common stock may not be issued upon conversion of the Amended and Restated Debenture if, after giving effect to the conversion or issuance, the holder together with its affiliates would beneficially own in excess of 4.99% of the outstanding common stock of the Company.

 

The Company may not prepay the Amended and Restated Debenture without the prior written consent of FNL.

 

Commencing August 15, 2025 and on the 15th of each month thereafter until the Maturity Date, the Company will be required to redeem $686,167.91, plus accrued but unpaid interest and other fees, of the principal amount of the Amended and Restated Debenture.

Interest shall cease to accrue with respect to any principal amount converted, provided that, the Company actually delivers the Conversion Shares within the time period required by Section 4(c)(ii) herein. Interest hereunder will be paid to the Person in whose name this Debenture is registered on the records of the Company regarding registration and transfers of this Debenture (the “Debenture Register”).

 

c) Late Fee. All overdue accrued and unpaid interest to be paid hereunder shall entail a late fee at an interest rate equal to the lesser of 15% per annum or the maximum rate permitted by applicable law (the “Late Fees”) which shall accrue daily from the date such interest is due hereunder through and including the date of actual payment in full.

 

d) Prepayment. Except as otherwise set forth in this Debenture, the Company may not prepay any portion of the principal amount of this Debenture without the prior written consent of the Holder.

 

Section 3. Registration of Transfers and Exchanges.

 

a) Different Denominations. This Debenture is exchangeable for an equal aggregate principal amount of Debentures of different authorized denominations, as requested by the Holder surrendering the same. No service charge will be payable for such registration of transfer or exchange.

 

b) Investment Representations. This Debenture has been issued subject to certain investment representations of the original Holder set forth in the Purchase Agreement and may be transferred or exchanged only in compliance with the Purchase Agreement and applicable federal and state securities laws and regulations.

c) Reliance on Debenture Register. Prior to due presentment for transfer to the Company of this Debenture, the Company and any agent of the Company may treat the Person in whose name this Debenture is duly registered on the 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 is overdue, and neither the Company nor any such agent shall be affected by notice to the contrary.

 

Section 4. Conversion.

 

a) Voluntary Conversion. At any time after the Stockholder Approval Date until this Debenture is no longer outstanding, this Debenture shall be convertible, in whole or in part, into shares of Common Stock at the option of the Holder, at any time and from time to time (subject to the conversion limitations set forth in Section 4(d). The Holder shall effect conversions by delivering to the Company a Notice of Conversion, the form of which is attached hereto as Annex A (each, a “Notice of Conversion”), specifying therein the principal amount, plus any accrued and unpaid interest thereon, of this Debenture to be converted and the date on which such conversion shall be effected (such date, the “Conversion Date”). If no Conversion Date is specified in a Notice of Conversion, the Conversion Date shall be the date that such Notice of Conversion is deemed delivered hereunder. Except for the rescission of any Mandatory Default Amount in accordance with Section 9(b), any principal amount of this Debenture converted pursuant to this Section 4(a) shall be applied against the last principal amount of this Debenture scheduled to be redeemed hereunder, in reverse time order from the Maturity Date. No ink-original Notice of Conversion shall be required, nor shall any medallion guarantee (or other type of guarantee or notarization) of any Notice of Conversion form be required. To effect conversions hereunder, the Holder shall not be required to physically surrender this Debenture to the Company unless the entire principal amount of this Debenture, plus all accrued and unpaid interest thereon, has been so converted in which case the Holder shall surrender this Debenture as promptly as is reasonably practicable after such conversion without delaying the Company’s obligation to deliver the shares on the Share Delivery Date. Conversions hereunder shall have the effect of lowering the outstanding principal amount of this Debenture in an amount equal to the applicable conversion. The Holder and the Company shall maintain records showing the principal amount(s) converted and the date of such conversion(s). The Company may deliver an objection to any Notice of Conversion within one (1) Business Day of delivery of such Notice of Conversion. In the event of any dispute or discrepancy, the records of the Holder shall be controlling and determinative in the absence of manifest error. The Holder, and any assignee by acceptance of this Debenture, acknowledge and agree that, by reason of the provisions of this paragraph, following conversion of a portion of this Debenture, the unpaid and unconverted principal amount of this Debenture may be less than the amount stated on the face hereof.

 

b) Conversion Price. The conversion price in effect on any Conversion Date shall be equal to $1.61, subject to adjustment herein (the “Conversion Price”).

 

7

 

c) Mechanics of Conversion.

 

i. Conversion Shares Issuable Upon Conversion of Principal Amount. The number of Conversion Shares issuable upon a conversion hereunder shall be determined by the quotient obtained by dividing (x) the outstanding principal amount of this Debenture to be converted by (y) the Conversion Price.

 

ii. Delivery of Conversion Shares Upon Conversion. Not later than the earlier of (i) two (2) Trading Days and (ii) the number of Trading Days comprising the Standard Settlement Period (as defined below) after each Conversion Date (the “Share Delivery Date”), the Company shall deliver, or cause to be delivered, to the Holder (A) the Conversion Shares which, on or after the earlier of (i) the six month anniversary of the Original Issue Date or (ii) the Effective Date (as defined in the Registration Rights Agreement), shall be free of restrictive legends and trading restrictions (other than those which may then be required by the Purchase Agreement) representing the number of Conversion Shares being acquired upon the conversion of this Debenture and (B) a bank check in the amount of accrued and unpaid interest (if the Company has elected or is required to pay accrued interest in cash). On or after the earlier of (i) the six month anniversary of the Original Issue Date or (ii) the Effective Date, the Company shall deliver any Conversion Shares required to be delivered by the Company under this Section 4(c) electronically through the Depository Trust Company or another established clearing corporation performing similar functions. 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 Notice of Conversion.

 

iii. Failure to Deliver Conversion Shares. If, in the case of any Notice of Conversion, such Conversion Shares are not delivered to or as directed by the applicable Holder by the Share Delivery Date, the Holder shall be entitled to elect by written notice to the Company at any time on or before its receipt of such Conversion Shares, to rescind such Conversion, in which event the Company shall promptly return to the Holder any original Debenture delivered to the Company and the Holder shall promptly return to the Company the Conversion Shares issued to such Holder pursuant to the rescinded Conversion Notice.

iv. Obligation Absolute; Partial Liquidated Damages. The Company’s obligations to issue and deliver the Conversion Shares upon conversion of this Debenture in accordance with the terms hereof are absolute and unconditional, irrespective of any action or inaction by the Holder to enforce the same, any waiver or consent with respect to any provision hereof, the recovery of any judgment against any Person or any action to enforce the same, or any setoff, counterclaim, recoupment, limitation or termination, or any breach or alleged breach by the Holder or any other Person of any obligation to the Company or any violation or alleged violation of law by the Holder or any other Person, and irrespective of any other circumstance which might otherwise limit such obligation of the Company to the Holder in connection with the issuance of such Conversion Shares; provided, however, that such delivery shall not operate as a waiver by the Company of any such action the Company may have against the Holder. In the event the Holder of this Debenture shall elect to convert any or all of the outstanding principal amount hereof, the Company may not refuse conversion based on any claim that the Holder or anyone associated or affiliated with the Holder has been engaged in any violation of law, agreement or for any other reason, unless an injunction from a court, on notice to Holder, restraining and or enjoining conversion of all or part of this Debenture shall have been sought and obtained, and the Company posts a surety bond for the benefit of the Holder in the amount of 150% of the outstanding principal amount of this Debenture, which is subject to the injunction, which bond shall remain in effect until the completion of arbitration/litigation of the underlying dispute and the proceeds of which shall be payable to the Holder to the extent it obtains judgment. In the absence of such injunction, the Company shall issue Conversion Shares or, if applicable, cash, upon a properly noticed conversion. If the Company fails for any reason to deliver to the Holder such Conversion Shares pursuant to Section 4(c)(ii) by the Share Delivery Date, the Company shall pay to the Holder, in cash, as liquidated damages and not as a penalty, for each $1,000 of principal amount being converted, $10 per Trading Day (increasing to $20 per Trading Day on the fifth (5th) Trading Day after such liquidated damages begin to accrue) for each Trading Day after such Share Delivery Date until such Conversion Shares are delivered or Holder rescinds such conversion. Nothing herein shall limit a Holder’s right to pursue actual damages or declare an Event of Default pursuant to Section 9 hereof for the Company’s failure to deliver Conversion Shares within the period specified herein and the Holder shall have the right to pursue all remedies available to it hereunder, at law or in equity including, without limitation, a decree of specific performance and/or injunctive relief. The exercise of any such rights shall not prohibit the Holder from seeking to enforce damages pursuant to any other Section hereof or under applicable law.

 

v. Compensation for Buy-In on Failure to Timely Deliver Conversion Shares Upon Conversion. In addition to any other rights available to the Holder, if the Company fails for any reason to deliver to the Holder such Conversion Shares by the Share Delivery Date pursuant to Section 4(c)(ii), and if after such Share Delivery Date the Holder is required by its brokerage firm 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 Conversion Shares which the Holder was entitled to receive upon the conversion relating to such Share Delivery Date (a “Buy-In”), then the Company shall (A) pay in cash to the Holder (in addition to any other remedies available to or elected by the Holder) the amount, if any, by which (x) the Holder’s total purchase price (including any brokerage commissions) for the Common Stock so purchased exceeds (y) the product of (1) the aggregate number of shares of Common Stock that the Holder was entitled to receive from the conversion at issue multiplied by (2) the actual sale price at which the sell order giving rise to such purchase obligation was executed (including any brokerage commissions) and (B) at the option of the Holder, either reissue (if surrendered) this Debenture in a principal amount equal to the principal amount of the attempted conversion (in which case such conversion shall be deemed rescinded) or deliver to the Holder the number of shares of Common Stock that would have been issued if the Company had timely complied with its delivery requirements under Section 4(c)(ii). 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 conversion of this Debenture with respect to which the actual sale price of the Conversion Shares (including any brokerage commissions) giving rise to such purchase obligation was a total 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 Conversion Shares upon conversion of this Debenture as required pursuant to the terms hereof.

vi. Reservation of Shares Issuable Upon Conversion; Insufficient Authorized Shares. The Company covenants that it will, at all times after the Stockholder Approval Date, reserve and keep available out of its authorized and unissued shares of Common Stock for the sole purpose of issuance upon conversion of this Debenture and payment of interest on this Debenture, each as herein provided, free from preemptive rights or any other actual contingent purchase rights of Persons other than the Holder (and the other holders of the Debentures), not less than such aggregate number of shares of the Common Stock as shall (subject to the terms and conditions set forth in the Purchase Agreement) be issuable (taking into account the adjustments and restrictions of Section 5) upon the conversion of the then outstanding principal amount of this Debenture and payment of interest hereunder (the “Required Reserve Amount”). The Company covenants that all shares of Common Stock that shall be so issuable shall, upon issue, be duly authorized, validly issued, fully paid and nonassessable and, if the Registration Statement is then effective under the Securities Act, shall be registered for public resale in accordance with such Registration Statement (subject to such Holder’s compliance with its obligations under the Registration Rights Agreement). If, notwithstanding the reservation requirements set forth in this Section and not in limitation thereof, at any time after the Stockholder Approval Date and while this Debenture remains outstanding, the Company does not have a sufficient number of authorized and unreserved shares of Common Stock to satisfy its obligation to reserve for issuance upon conversion of this Debenture at least a number of shares of Common Stock equal to the Required Reserve Amount (an “Authorized Share Failure”), then the Company shall immediately take all action necessary to increase the Company’s authorized shares of Common Stock to an amount sufficient to allow the Company to reserve the Required Reserve Amount. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing sentence, as soon as practicable after the date of the occurrence of an Authorized Share Failure, but in no event later than sixty (60) days after the occurrence of such Authorized Share Failure, the Company shall hold a meeting of its stockholders for the approval of an increase in the number of authorized shares of Common Stock. In connection with such meeting, the Company shall provide each stockholder with a proxy statement and shall use its best efforts to solicit its stockholders’ approval of such increase in authorized shares of Common Stock and to cause its board of directors to recommend to the stockholders that they approve such proposal. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if at any such time of an Authorized Share Failure, the Company is able to obtain the written consent of a majority of the shares of its issued and outstanding shares of Common Stock to approve the increase in the number of authorized shares of Common Stock, the Company may satisfy this obligation by obtaining such consent and submitting for filing with the SEC an Information Statement on Schedule 14C. After the Stockholder Approval Date, in the event that the Company is prohibited from issuing shares of Common Stock to a Holder upon any conversion due to the failure by the Company to have sufficient shares of Common Stock available out of the authorized but unissued shares of Common Stock (such unavailable number of shares of Common Stock, the “Authorized Failure Shares”), the interest rate on this Debenture shall automatically increase to twenty percent (20.00%) per annum until such time as the Company cures the Authorized Share Failure, subject to compliance with the rules of Nasdaq Capital Market.

 

vii. Fractional Shares. No fractional shares or scrip representing fractional shares shall be issued upon the conversion of this Debenture. As to any fraction of a share which the Holder would otherwise be entitled to purchase upon such conversion, the Company shall at its election, either pay a cash adjustment in respect of such final fraction in an amount equal to such fraction multiplied by the Conversion Price or round up to the next whole share.

 

10

 

viii. Transfer Taxes and Expenses. The issuance of Conversion Shares on conversion of this Debenture shall be made without charge to the Holder hereof for any documentary stamp or similar taxes that may be payable in respect of the issue or delivery of such Conversion Shares, provided that the Company shall not be required to pay any tax that may be payable in respect of any transfer involved in the issuance and delivery of any such Conversion Shares upon conversion in a name other than that of the Holder of this Debenture so converted and the Company shall not be required to issue or deliver such Conversion Shares unless or until the Person or Persons requesting the issuance thereof shall have paid to the Company the amount of such tax or shall have established to the satisfaction of the Company that such tax has been paid. The Company shall pay all Transfer Agent fees required for same-day processing of any Notice of Conversion and all fees to the Depository Trust Company (or another established clearing corporation performing similar functions) required for same-day electronic delivery of the Conversion Shares.

 

d) Holder’s Conversion Limitations. The Company shall not effect any conversion of this Debenture, and a Holder shall not have the right to convert any portion of this Debenture, to the extent that after giving effect to the conversion set forth on the applicable Notice of Conversion, the Holder (together with the Holder’s Affiliates, and any 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 its Affiliates and Attribution Parties shall include the number of shares of Common Stock issuable upon conversion of this Debenture 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) conversion of the remaining, unconverted principal amount of this Debenture beneficially owned by the Holder or any of its Affiliates or Attribution Parties and (ii) exercise or conversion of the unexercised or unconverted portion of any other securities of the Company subject to a limitation on conversion or exercise analogous to the limitation contained herein (including, without limitation, any other Debentures) 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 4(d), beneficial ownership shall be calculated in accordance with Section 13(d) of the Exchange Act and the rules and regulations promulgated thereunder. To the extent that the limitation contained in this Section 4(d) applies, the determination of whether this Debenture is convertible (in relation to other securities owned by the Holder together with any Affiliates and Attribution Parties) and of which principal amount of this Debenture is convertible shall be in the sole discretion of the Holder, and the submission of a Notice of Conversion shall be deemed to be the Holder’s determination of whether this Debenture may be converted (in relation to other securities owned by the Holder together with any Affiliates or Attribution Parties) and which principal amount of this Debenture is convertible, in each case subject to the Beneficial Ownership Limitation, and the Company shall have no obligation to verify or confirm the accuracy of such determination. In addition, a determination as to any group status as contemplated above shall be determined in accordance with Section 13(d) of the Exchange Act and the rules and regulations promulgated thereunder. For purposes of this Section 4(d), in determining the number of outstanding shares of Common Stock, the 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 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 one Trading Day 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 Debenture, by the Holder or its Affiliates since the date as of which such number of outstanding shares of Common Stock was reported. The “Beneficial Ownership Limitation” shall be 9.99% of the number of shares of the Common Stock outstanding immediately after giving effect to the issuance of shares of Common Stock issuable upon conversion of this Debenture. The Holder, upon notice to the Company, may increase or decrease, as applicable, the Beneficial Ownership Limitation provisions of this Section 4(d), provided that the Beneficial Ownership Limitation in no event exceeds 9.99% of the number of shares of the Common Stock outstanding immediately after giving effect to the issuance of shares of Common Stock upon conversion of this Debenture held by the Holder and the Beneficial Ownership Limitation provisions of this Section 4(d) shall continue to apply. Any increase in the Beneficial Ownership Limitation will not be effective until the 61st day after such notice is delivered to the Company. The Beneficial Ownership Limitation provisions of this paragraph shall be construed and implemented in a manner otherwise than in strict conformity with the terms of this Section 4(d) to correct this paragraph (or any portion hereof) which may be defective or inconsistent with the intended Beneficial Ownership Limitation contained herein or to make changes or supplements necessary or desirable to properly give effect to such limitation. Moreover, and notwithstanding anything in this Debenture to the contrary (but, subject to the reservation requirements set forth in Section 4(c)(vi) hereof), the Holder may not convert any portion of this Debenture (whether principal amount, accrued interest, or any other amount that may become payable hereunder) to the extent such conversion would require the Company to issue shares of Common Stock in excess of one hundred percent (100%) of the Company’s then sufficient authorized and unissued shares of Common Stock. The limitations contained in this paragraph shall apply to a successor holder of this Debenture.

Section 5. Certain Adjustments.

 

a) Stock Dividends and Stock Splits. If the Company, at any time while this Debenture is outstanding: (i) pays a stock dividend or otherwise makes a distribution or distributions payable in shares of Common Stock on shares of Common Stock or any Common Stock Equivalents (which, for avoidance of doubt, shall not include any shares of Common Stock issued by the Company upon conversion of, or payment of interest on, the Debentures), (ii) subdivides outstanding shares of Common Stock into a larger number of shares, (iii) combines (including by way of a reverse stock split) outstanding shares of Common Stock into a smaller number of shares or (iv) issues, in the event of a reclassification of shares of the Common Stock, any shares of capital stock of the Company, then the Conversion Price shall be multiplied by a fraction of which the numerator shall be the number of shares of Common Stock (excluding any treasury shares of the Company) outstanding immediately before such event, and of which the denominator shall be the number of shares of Common Stock outstanding immediately after such event. Any adjustment made pursuant to this Section shall become effective immediately after the record date for the determination of stockholders entitled to receive such dividend or distribution and shall become effective immediately after the effective date in the case of a subdivision, combination or re-classification.

 

b) Subsequent Equity Sales. If, at any time while this Debenture is outstanding, the Company or any Subsidiary, as applicable, 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 Common Stock Equivalents entitling any Person to acquire shares of Common Stock 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”) (if the holder of the Common Stock or Common Stock Equivalents 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 simultaneously with the consummation (or, if earlier, the announcement) of each Dilutive Issuance the Conversion Price shall be reduced to equal the Base Conversion Price. (subject to adjustment for reverse and forward stock splits, recapitalizations and similar transactions following the date of the Purchase Agreement). Notwithstanding the foregoing, no adjustment will be made under this Section 5(b) in respect of an Exempt Issuance. If the Company enters into a Variable Rate Transaction, despite the prohibition set forth in the Purchase Agreement, the Company shall be deemed to have issued Common Stock or Common Stock Equivalents at the lowest possible conversion price at which such securities may be converted or exercised. The Company shall notify the Holder in writing, no later than the Trading Day following the issuance of any Common Stock or Common Stock Equivalents subject to this Section 5(b), indicating therein the applicable issuance price, or applicable reset price, exchange price, conversion price and other pricing terms (such notice, the “Dilutive Issuance Notice”). For purposes of clarification, whether or not the Company provides a Dilutive Issuance Notice pursuant to this Section 5(b), upon the occurrence of any Dilutive Issuance, the Holder is entitled to receive a number of Conversion Shares based upon the Base Conversion Price on or after the date of such Dilutive Issuance, regardless of whether the Holder accurately refers to the Base Conversion Price in the Notice of Conversion. For purposes hereof, “Exempt Issuance” shall mean the issuance of (a) shares of Common Stock or options to employees, officers or directors of the Company pursuant to any stock or option plan duly adopted for such purpose, by a majority of the non-employee members of the board of directors of the Company or a majority of the members of a committee of non-employee directors established for such purpose for services rendered to the Company, (b) securities upon the exercise or exchange of or conversion of any Securities issued and outstanding on the Original Issue Date and/or other securities exercisable or exchangeable for or convertible into shares of Common Stock issued and outstanding on the Original Issue Date, provided that such securities have not been amended since the date of the Original Issue Date to increase the number of such securities or to decrease the exercise price, exchange price or conversion price of such securities (other than in connection with stock splits or combinations) or to extend the term of such securities, and (c) securities issued pursuant to acquisitions or strategic transactions approved by a majority of the disinterested directors of the Company, provided that such securities are issued as “restricted securities” (as defined in Rule 144) and carry no registration rights that require or permit the filing of any registration statement in connection therewith during the prohibition period in Section 2(i) of the Purchase Agreement, and provided that any such issuance shall only be to a Person (or to the equityholders of a Person) which is, itself or through its subsidiaries, an operating company or an owner of an asset in a business synergistic with the business of the Company and shall provide to the Company additional benefits in addition to the investment of funds, but shall not include a transaction in which the Company is issuing securities primarily for the purpose of raising capital or to an entity whose primary business is investing in securities.

 

12

 

c) Subsequent Rights Offerings. In addition to any adjustments pursuant to Section 5(a) above, if at any time the Company grants, issues or sells any Common Stock Equivalents 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 conversion of this Debenture (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 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).

 

d) Pro Rata Distributions. During such time as this Debenture 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 shares of Common Stock, by way of return of capital or otherwise (including, without limitation, any distribution of cash, stock 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 Debenture, 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 conversion of this Debenture (without regard to any limitations on conversion 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 shares 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 shares of 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).

 

13

 

e) Fundamental Transaction. If, at any time while this Debenture is outstanding, (i) the Company, 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 (and all of its Subsidiaries, taken as a whole), 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 is 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 shares of Common Stock (not including any shares of 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 conversion of this Debenture, the Holder shall have the right to receive, for each Conversion Share that would have been issuable upon such conversion immediately prior to the occurrence of such Fundamental Transaction (without regard to any limitation in Section 4(d), 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 Debenture is convertible immediately prior to such Fundamental Transaction (without regard to any limitation in Section 4(d) on the conversion of this Debenture). For purposes of any such conversion, the determination of the Conversion Price shall be appropriately adjusted to apply to such Alternate Consideration based on the amount of Alternate Consideration issuable in respect of one (1) share of Common Stock in such Fundamental Transaction, and the Company shall apportion the Conversion 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 conversion of this Debenture following such 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 Debenture and the other Transaction Documents (as defined in the Purchase Agreement) in accordance with the provisions of this Section 5(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 of this Debenture, deliver to the Holder in exchange for this Debenture a security of the Successor Entity evidenced by a written instrument substantially similar in form and substance to this Debenture which is convertible for a corresponding number of shares of capital stock of such Successor Entity (or its parent entity) equivalent to the shares of Common Stock acquirable and receivable upon conversion of this Debenture (without regard to any limitations on the conversion of this Debenture) prior to such Fundamental Transaction, and with a conversion price which applies the conversion price hereunder to such shares of capital stock (but taking into account the relative value of the shares of Common Stock pursuant to such Fundamental Transaction and the value of such shares of capital stock, such number of shares of capital stock and such conversion price being for the purpose of protecting the economic value of this Debenture 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 Debenture 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 Debenture and the other Transaction Documents with the same effect as if such Successor Entity had been named as the Company herein.

 

14

 

f) Calculations. All calculations under this Section 5 shall be made to the nearest cent or the nearest 1/100th of a share, as the case may be. For purposes of this Section 5, the number of shares of Common Stock deemed to be issued and outstanding as of a given date shall be the sum of the number of shares of Common Stock (excluding any treasury shares of the Company) issued and outstanding.

 

g) Notice to the Holder.

 

i. Adjustment to Conversion Price.

Section 6. Redemption.

 

a) Mandatory Redemption.

 

  i. In the event the Company or any of its Subsidiaries obtains one or more equity or debt financings (including any Subsequent Financings (as defined in the Purchase Agreement)) with gross proceeds in excess of $3,000,000, the Company shall, at the option of the Holder, concurrently with the receipt of such gross proceeds, apply one-third (1/3) of such gross proceeds towards the redemption (each, a “Mandatory Redemption”) of the principal amount of this Debenture.
     
  ii.

Any principal amount of this Debenture redeemed pursuant to a Mandatory Redemption shall be applied against the last principal amount of this Debenture scheduled to be redeemed hereunder, in reverse time order from the Maturity Date.

 

15

 

b) Monthly Redemption. On each Monthly Redemption Date, the Company shall redeem the Monthly Redemption Amount (the “Monthly Redemption”). The Monthly Redemption Amount payable on each Monthly Redemption Date shall be paid in cash. The Holder may convert, pursuant to Section 4(a), any principal amount of this Debenture subject to a Monthly Redemption at any time prior to the date that the Monthly Redemption Amount, plus accrued but unpaid interest, liquidated damages and any other amounts then owing to the Holder are due and paid in full. The Company covenants and agrees that it will honor all Notices of Conversion tendered up until such amounts are paid in full.

 

c) Redemption Procedure. The payment of cash pursuant to a Monthly Redemption shall be payable on the Monthly Redemption Date. If any portion of the payment pursuant to a Monthly Redemption shall not be paid by the Company by the applicable due date, interest shall accrue thereon at an interest rate equal to the lesser of 15% per annum or the maximum rate permitted by applicable law until such amount is paid in full. The Holder may elect to convert the outstanding principal amount of the Debenture pursuant to Section 4 prior to actual payment in cash for any redemption under this Section 6 by the delivery of a Notice of Conversion to the Company.

 

d) Voluntary Redemption. The Company may voluntarily redeem the outstanding principal amount of this Debenture, in whole or in part, in cash upon irrevocable notice to the Holder at least one (1) Business Day prior to the date of such redemption.

Any principal amount of this Debenture redeemed pursuant this Section 6(d) shall be applied against the last principal amount of this Debenture scheduled to be redeemed hereunder, in reverse time order from the Maturity Date.

21

Except as expressly provided herein, no provision of this Debenture shall alter or impair the obligation of the Company, which is absolute and unconditional, to pay the principal of, liquidated damages and accrued interest, as applicable, on this Debenture at the time, place, and rate, and in the coin or currency, herein prescribed. This Debenture is a direct debt obligation of the Company. This Debenture ranks pari passu with all other Debentures now or hereafter issued under the terms set forth herein.

 

c) Lost or Mutilated Debenture. If this Debenture shall be mutilated, lost, stolen or destroyed, the Company shall execute and deliver, in exchange and substitution for and upon cancellation of a mutilated Debenture, or in lieu of or in substitution for a lost, stolen or destroyed Debenture, a new Debenture for the principal amount of this Debenture so mutilated, lost, stolen or destroyed, but only upon receipt of evidence of such loss, theft or destruction of such Debenture, and of the ownership hereof, reasonably satisfactory to the Company.

 

d) Governing Law. All questions concerning the construction, validity, enforcement and interpretation of this Debenture shall be governed by and construed and enforced in accordance with the internal laws of the State of New York, without regard to the principles of conflict of laws thereof. Each party agrees that all legal proceedings concerning the interpretation, enforcement and defense of the transactions contemplated by any of the Transaction Documents (whether brought against a party hereto or its respective Affiliates, directors, officers, shareholders, employees or agents) shall be commenced in the state and federal courts sitting in the City of New York, Borough of Manhattan (the “New York Courts”). Each party hereto hereby irrevocably submits to the exclusive jurisdiction of the New York Courts for the adjudication of any dispute hereunder or in connection herewith or with any transaction contemplated hereby or discussed herein (including with respect to the enforcement of any of the Transaction Documents), 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 such New York Courts, or such New York Courts are improper or inconvenient venue for such proceeding. Each party hereby irrevocably waives personal service of process and consents to process being served in any such suit, action or proceeding by mailing a copy thereof via registered or certified mail or overnight delivery (with evidence of delivery) to such party at the address in effect for notices to it under this Debenture and agrees that such service shall constitute good and sufficient service of process and notice thereof. Nothing contained herein shall be deemed to limit in any way any right to serve process in any other manner permitted by applicable law.

22

 

e) Amendment; Waiver. This Agreement nor any provision hereof may not be waived, amended or modified except pursuant to an agreement in writing entered into by the Company and the Holder. Any waiver by the Company or the Holder of a breach of any provision of this Debenture shall not operate as or be construed to be a waiver of any other breach of such provision or of any breach of any other provision of this Debenture. The failure of the Company or the Holder to insist upon strict adherence to any term of this Debenture on one or more occasions shall not be considered a waiver or deprive that party of the right thereafter to insist upon strict adherence to that term or any other term of this Debenture on any other occasion. Any waiver by the Company or the Holder must be in writing.

 

f) Severability. If any provision of this Debenture is invalid, illegal or unenforceable, the balance of this Debenture shall remain in effect, and if any provision is inapplicable to any Person or circumstance, it shall nevertheless remain applicable to all other Persons and circumstances. If it shall be found that any interest or other amount deemed interest due hereunder violates the applicable law governing usury, the applicable rate of interest due hereunder shall automatically be lowered to equal the maximum rate of interest permitted under applicable law. The Company covenants (to the extent that it may lawfully do so) that it shall not at any time insist upon, plead, or in any manner whatsoever claim or take the benefit or advantage of, any stay, extension or usury law or other law which would prohibit or forgive the Company from paying all or any portion of the principal of or interest on this Debenture as contemplated herein, wherever enacted, now or at any time hereafter in force, or which may affect the covenants or the performance of this Debenture, and the Company (to the extent it may lawfully do so) hereby expressly waives all benefits or advantage of any such law, and covenants that it will not, by resort to any such law, hinder, delay or impede the execution of any power herein granted to the Holder, but will suffer and permit the execution of every such as though no such law has been enacted.

 

g) Remedies, Characterizations, Other Obligations, Breaches and Injunctive Relief. The remedies provided in this Debenture shall be cumulative and in addition to all other remedies available under this Debenture 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 Debenture. 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 an injunction restraining any such breach or any such threatened breach, without the necessity of showing economic loss and without any bond or other security being required. 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 Debenture.

 

23

 

h) Next Business Day. Whenever any payment or other obligation hereunder shall be due on a day other than a Business Day, such payment shall be made on the next succeeding Business Day.

 

i) Headings. The headings contained herein are for convenience only, do not constitute a part of this Debenture and shall not be deemed to limit or affect any of the provisions hereof.

 

j) Secured Obligation; Guaranty. The obligations of the Company under this Debenture are secured by all assets of the Company and each Subsidiary pursuant to the Security Agreement, dated as of January 3, 2024 (as amended from time to time, the “Security Agreement”) between NAYA, Company, the Subsidiaries of the Company and the Secured Parties (as defined therein) (other than any assets expressly identified therein to be excluded from such security) and are guaranteed by each Subsidiary pursuant to one or more Subsidiary Guarantees (each, as amended from time to time, a “Guarantee”) in favor of the Holder.

 

Section 11. Disclosure. Upon receipt or delivery by the Company of any notice in accordance with the terms of this Debenture, unless the Company has in good faith determined that the matters relating to such notice do not constitute material, nonpublic information relating to the Company or its Subsidiaries, the Company shall within two (2) Business Days after such receipt or delivery publicly disclose such material, nonpublic 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 its Subsidiaries, the Company so shall indicate to the Holder contemporaneously with delivery of such notice, and in the absence of any such indication, the Holder shall be allowed to presume that all matters relating to such notice do not constitute material, nonpublic information relating to the Company or its Subsidiaries.

The Parent hereby represents, warrants, and covenants with the Company as follows:

 

4.1 Legal Power. The Parent has the requisite power and is authorized to enter into this Agreement and to carry out and perform its obligations under the terms of this Agreement.

 

4.2 Due Execution. This Agreement has been duly authorized, executed and delivered by the Parent, and, upon due execution and delivery by the Company, this Agreement will be a valid and binding agreement of the Parent.

 

4.3 Restricted Securities.

 

4.3.1 The Parent has been advised that neither the Preferred Shares nor the Conversion Shares have been registered under the Securities Act or any other applicable securities laws. The Parent acknowledges that the Preferred Shares and the Conversion Shares may be issued as “restricted securities” as defined by Rule 144 promulgated pursuant to the Securities Act. Neither the Preferred Shares nor the Conversion Shares may be resold in the absence of an effective registration thereof under the Securities Act and applicable state securities laws unless, in the opinion of the Company’s counsel, an applicable exemption from registration is available.

 

4.3.2 The Parent represents that it is acquiring the Preferred Shares and the Conversion Shares for Parent’s own account, and not as nominee or agent, for investment purposes only and not with a view to, or for sale in connection with, a distribution, as that term is used in Section 2(11) of the Securities Act, in a manner which would require registration under the Securities Act or any state securities laws.

 

4.3.3 The Parent understands and acknowledges that the Preferred Shares and the Conversion Shares, when issued, may bear the following legend:

 

THE SECURITIES EVIDENCED BY THIS CERTIFICATE HAVE NOT BEEN REGISTERED UNDER THE SECURITIES ACT OF 1933, AS AMENDED, OR THE SECURITIES LAWS OF ANY STATE. THE SECURITIES HAVE BEEN ACQUIRED FOR INVESTMENT AND MAY NOT BE SOLD OR TRANSFERRED FOR VALUE IN THE ABSENCE OF AN EFFECTIVE REGISTRATION THEREOF UNDER THE SECURITIES ACT OF 1933 AND/OR THE SECURITIES ACT OF ANY STATE HAVING JURISDICTION OR AN OPINION OF COUNSEL ACCEPTABLE TO THE CORPORATION THAT SUCH REGISTRATION IS NOT REQUIRED UNDER SUCH ACT OR ACTS.

 

3

 

4.3.4 Parent acknowledges that the Preferred Shares and the Conversion Shares are not liquid and are transferable only under limited conditions. Parent acknowledges that such securities must be held indefinitely unless they are subsequently registered under the Securities Act or an exemption from such registration is available. Parent is aware of the provisions of Rule 144 promulgated under the Securities Act, which permits limited resale of restricted securities subject to the satisfaction of certain conditions and that, in the future, such Rule may not be available for resale of either the Preferred Shares or any Conversion Shares.

 

4.3.5 Parent is an “accredited investor” as defined under Rule 501 under the Securities Act.

 

4.4 Access to Information. The Parent represents that the Parent has been given full and complete access to the Company for the purpose of obtaining such information as the Parent or its qualified representative has reasonably requested in connection with the decision to exchange for the Preferred Shares.

 

4.5 Parent Sophistication and Ability to Bear Risk of Loss. Parent acknowledges that it is able to protect its interests in connection with the acquisition of the Preferred Shares and the Conversion Shares and can bear the economic risk of investment in such securities without producing a material adverse change in such Parent’s financial condition. Parent, either alone or with such Parent’s representative(s), otherwise has such knowledge and experience in financial or business matters that the Parent is capable of evaluating the merits and risks of the investment in the Preferred Shares and the Conversion Shares.

Exhibit 10.2

 

THIS SECURITY HAS NOT BEEN REGISTERED WITH THE SECURITIES AND EXCHANGE COMMISSION OR THE SECURITIES COMMISSION OF ANY STATE IN RELIANCE UPON AN EXEMPTION FROM REGISTRATION UNDER THE SECURITIES ACT OF 1933, AS AMENDED (THE “SECURITIES ACT”), AND, ACCORDINGLY, MAY NOT BE OFFERED OR SOLD EXCEPT PURSUANT TO AN EFFECTIVE REGISTRATION STATEMENT UNDER THE SECURITIES ACT OR PURSUANT TO AN AVAILABLE EXEMPTION FROM, OR IN A TRANSACTION NOT SUBJECT TO, THE REGISTRATION REQUIREMENTS OF THE SECURITIES ACT AND IN ACCORDANCE WITH APPLICABLE STATE SECURITIES LAWS.

 

SECURED CONVERTIBLE PROMISSORY NOTE

 

$4,803,175.00   May 28, 2025
    Aventura, Florida

 

1. Agreement to Pay. For value received, Naya Therapeutics, Inc., a Delaware corporation (the “Maker”) promises to pay to the order of INVO Fertility, Inc., a Nevada corporation (the “Holder”), or its assigns, at its principal office and mailing address or at such other location designated by the Holder, the principal sum of Four Million Eight Hundred Three Thousand One Hundred Seventy-Five Dollars ($4,803,175.00), together with interest thereon at the rate provided for herein from the date of this Secured Promissory Note (the “Note”) and in accordance with the terms of this Note until said amounts shall have been paid in full.

 

2. Interest Rate. Subject to Section 4 hereof, the outstanding principal balance hereof shall bear and accrue interest at seven percent (7.00%) per annum, computed on the basis of the actual days elapsed on the assumption that each month contains thirty (30) days and each year contains three hundred sixty (360) days (“Interest Rate”).

 

3. Payment Terms. Subject to the terms of this Note, the entire principal amount and all interest accrued upon this Note shall be due and payable in full on November 28, 2026 (the “Maturity Date”), or on such earlier date as such principal amount may earlier become due and payable pursuant to the terms hereof.

 

4. Default Interest Rate. Upon and during the continuance of an Event of Default, all sums owing on this Note (including interest), shall bear interest at the lesser of (i) the Interest Rate, plus five percent (5%) or (ii) the maximum rate permitted by applicable law (“Default Rate”). This provision shall not be deemed to excuse a default and shall not be deemed a waiver of any other rights Holder may have, including the right to declare the entire unpaid principal balance and accrued interest immediately due and payable.

 

5. Late Charge. In addition to the provisions in Section 4 above, if any payment required to be made by Maker under this Note has not been made when due (whether the overdue payment is an interest only payment or a principal and interest payment), then, on the date ten (10) Business Days after the date the payment was due, a late charge by way of damages will be immediately due. Maker agrees that if for any reason Maker fails to pay when due any amount due under this Note, Holder will be entitled to damages for the detriment caused, but that it is extremely difficult and impractical to ascertain the extent of the damages. Maker therefore agrees that an amount equal to three percent (3%) of the payment Maker fails to pay within ten (10) Business Days after the date it is due is a reasonable estimate of the damages to Holder, and Maker agrees to pay that on demand for each failure to so pay within ten (10) Business Days. Acceptance of any late charge will not constitute a waiver of default with respect to the overdue payment and will not prevent Holder from exercising any other rights available under this Note. Maker will pay this late charge only once on any late payment.

6. Mandatory Conversion.

 

6.1 Subject to the limitations set forth in Section 6.2 below, this Note shall automatically be converted as set forth in this Section 6, upon the earliest to occur of the following (the time of such conversion is referred to herein as the “Mandatory Conversion Time”):

 

(a) At the closing of the sale of shares of Class A Common Stock to the public at a price of at least $10.00 per share (subject to appropriate adjustment in the event of any stock dividend, stock split, combination or other similar recapitalization with respect to the Class A Common Stock), in a firm-commitment underwritten public offering pursuant to an effective registration statement under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”), resulting in at least $10,000,000 of gross proceeds to the Maker and in connection with such offering the shares of Class A Common Stock are listed for trading on the Nasdaq Stock Market or the New York Stock Exchange (a “Qualified IPO”), this Note (including all unpaid principal and interest accrued thereon) shall automatically convert into shares of Class A Common Stock at a conversion price equal to the price per share at which the Maker issues shares of Class A Common Stock to the public in the Qualified IPO, if, and only if, the offer, sale, and resale of Class A Common Stock issuable to a holder of this Note upon conversion of this Note are covered by an effective registration statement under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”).

 

(b) At the closing of either (i) a transaction or series of related transactions in which a person, or a group of related persons, acquires from stockholders of the Maker shares representing more than fifty percent (50%) of the outstanding voting power of the Maker; (ii) a merger, consolidation, statutory conversion, transfer, domestication, or continuance in which (A) the Maker is a constituent party or (B) a subsidiary of the Maker is a constituent party and the Maker issues shares of its capital stock pursuant to such merger, consolidation, statutory conversion, transfer, domestication, or continuance, except any such merger, consolidation, statutory conversion, transfer, domestication, or continuance involving the Maker or a subsidiary in which the shares of capital stock of the Maker outstanding immediately prior to such merger, consolidation, statutory conversion, transfer, domestication, or continuance continue to represent, or are converted into or exchanged for shares of capital stock or other equity interests that represent, immediately following such merger, consolidation, statutory conversion, transfer, domestication, or continuance, a majority of the capital stock or other equity interests of (1) the surviving or resulting corporation or entity, or (2) if the surviving or resulting corporation or entity is a wholly owned subsidiary of another corporation or entity immediately following such merger, consolidation, statutory conversion, transfer, domestication, or continuance, the parent corporation or entity of such surviving or resulting corporation or entity; (iii) the sale, lease, transfer, exclusive license or other disposition, in a single transaction or series of related transactions, by the Maker or any subsidiary of the Maker of all or substantially all the business or assets of the Maker and its subsidiaries taken as a whole; or (iv) the sale, lease, transfer, exclusive license or other disposition (whether by merger, consolidation, statutory conversion, domestication, continuance, or otherwise, and whether in a single transaction or a series of related transactions) of one or more subsidiaries of the Maker if substantially all of the assets of the Maker and its subsidiaries taken as a whole are held by such subsidiary or subsidiaries, except where such sale, lease, transfer, exclusive license, or other disposition is to a wholly owned subsidiary of the Maker (items (i) through (iv) being collectively defined herein as a “Sale Transaction”), and the Common Stock of the Maker is converted into, exchanged for, or acquired for securities that are listed for trading on the Nasdaq Stock Market or the New York Stock Exchange (“Qualified Securities”), this Note (including all unpaid principal and interest accrued thereon) shall automatically convert into shares of Class A Common Stock at a Conversion Price equal to the closing sale price per Qualified Security on the date of the closing of the Sale Transaction, so long as the offer, sale, and resale of the Qualified Securities issuable to a holder of this Note upon conversion of this Note and closing of a Sale Transaction are covered by an effective registration statement under the the Securities Act of 1933, as amended.

6.2 Beneficial Ownership Limitation. The Maker shall not effect any conversion of this Note held by any holder of this Note (a “Holder”), and such Holder shall not have the right to convert any portion of this Note held by such Holder pursuant to the terms and conditions of this Note, and any such conversion shall be null and void and treated as if never made, to the extent that after giving effect to such conversion, such Holder, together with any other person that directly or indirectly controls, is controlled by, or is under common control with, such Holder (it being understood for purposes hereof that “control” of a person means the power directly or indirectly either to vote 10% or more of the stock having ordinary voting power for the election of directors of such person or direct or cause the direction of the management and policies of such person whether by contract or otherwise (each such person, an “Affiliate”) collectively would beneficially own in excess of 19.99% (the “Maximum Percentage”) of the shares of Common Stock outstanding immediately after giving effect to such conversion. For purposes of the foregoing sentence, the aggregate number of shares of Common Stock beneficially owned by such Holder and its Affiliates shall include (A) the number of shares of Common Stock held by such Holder and all other Affiliates plus the number of shares of Common Stock issuable upon conversion of this Note with respect to which the determination of such sentence is being made, and (B) exercise or conversion of the unexercised or nonconverted portion of any other securities of the Maker (including, without limitation, any convertible notes, convertible preferred stock or warrants) beneficially owned by such Holder or any Affiliate subject to a limitation on conversion or exercise analogous to the limitation contained in this Section 6.2, but shall exclude shares of Common Stock which would be issuable upon conversion of the remaining, nonconverted portion of this Note beneficially owned by such Holder or any of the other Affiliates. For purposes of this Section 6.x, beneficial ownership shall be calculated in accordance with Section 13(d) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “1934 Act”). For any reason at any time, upon the written or oral request of any Holder, the Maker shall within one (1) Business Day confirm orally and in writing or by electronic mail to such Holder the number of shares of each class of Common Stock then outstanding. If the issuance of shares of Common Stock to a Holder upon conversion of this Note results in such Holder and the other Affiliates 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 such Holder’s and the other Affiliates’ aggregate beneficial ownership exceeds the Maximum Percentage (the “Excess Shares”) shall be deemed null and void and shall be cancelled ab initio, and such Holder shall not have the power to vote or to transfer the Excess Shares. Upon delivery of a written notice to the Maker, any 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 of such Holder to any other percentage not in excess of 19.99% as specified in such notice; provided that (i) any such increase in the Maximum Percentage will not be effective until the sixty-first (61st) day after such notice is delivered to the Maker, and (ii) any such increase or decrease will apply only to such Holder and the other Affiliates and not to any other Holder that is not an Affiliate of such Holder. For purposes of clarity, the shares of Common Stock issuable to a Holder pursuant to the terms of this Note in excess of the Maximum Percentage shall not be deemed to be beneficially owned by such 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 6.x 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 4.11 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.

6.3 Procedural Requirements. All holders of record of this Note (or an applicable portion thereof) shall be sent written notice of the Mandatory Conversion Time and the place designated for mandatory conversion of this Note pursuant to this Section 6. Such notice need not be sent in advance of the occurrence of the Mandatory Conversion Time. Upon receipt of such notice, each holder of this Note being converted that holds this Note in certificated form shall surrender his, her, or its Note (or, if such holder alleges that such Note has been lost, stolen or destroyed, a lost note affidavit and agreement reasonably acceptable to the Maker to indemnify the Maker against any claim that may be made against the Maker on account of the alleged loss, theft or destruction of such Note) to the Maker at the place designated in such notice. If so required by the Maker, any certificates surrendered for conversion shall be endorsed or accompanied by written instrument or instruments of transfer, in form satisfactory to the Maker, duly executed by the registered holder or by his, her or its attorney duly authorized in writing. All rights with respect to the Note converted pursuant to Section 6.1, including the rights, if any, to receive notices and vote (other than as a holder of Common Stock), will terminate at the Mandatory Conversion Time (notwithstanding the failure of the holder or holders thereof to surrender any certificates at or prior to such time), except only the rights of the holders thereof, upon surrender of any certificate or certificates of such holders (or lost certificate affidavit and agreement) therefor, to receive the items provided for in the next sentence of this Section 6.3. As soon as practicable after the Mandatory Conversion Time and, if applicable, the surrender of any Note (or lost certificate affidavit and agreement), the Maker shall (a) issue and deliver to such holder, or to his, her or its nominees, a certificate or certificates for the number of full shares of Common Stock issuable on such conversion in accordance with the provisions hereof or issue and deliver to such holder, or to his, her or its nominees, a notice of issuance of uncertificated shares and may, upon written request, issue and deliver a certificate for the number of full shares of Common Stock issuable upon such conversion in accordance with the provisions hereof; and (b) pay any accrued but unpaid interest on the Note converted.

 

6.4 Adjustment for Stock Splits and Combinations. If the Maker shall at any time or from time to time after the date of the issuance of this Note effect a subdivision of the outstanding Common Stock, the Conversion Price of this Note in effect immediately before that subdivision shall be proportionately decreased so that the number of shares of Common Stock issuable on conversion of each share of such series shall be increased in proportion to such increase in the aggregate number of shares of Common Stock outstanding. If the Maker shall at any time or from time to time after the date of the issuance of this Note combine the outstanding shares of Common Stock, the Conversion Price of this Note in effect immediately before the combination shall be proportionately increased so that the number of shares of Common Stock issuable on conversion of each share of such series shall be decreased in proportion to such decrease in the aggregate number of shares of Common Stock outstanding. Any adjustment under this Section 6.4 shall become effective at the close of business on the date the subdivision or combination becomes effective.

 

6.5 Adjustment for Certain Dividends and Distributions. If, at any time or from time to time after the date of the issuance of this Note, the Maker shall make or issue, or fix a record date for the determination of holders of Common Stock entitled to receive, a dividend or other distribution payable on the Common Stock in additional shares of Common Stock, then and in each such event the Conversion Price of this Note in effect immediately before such event shall be decreased as of the time of such issuance or, if such a record date shall have been fixed, as of the close of business on such record date, by multiplying the Conversion Price of this Note Stock then in effect by a fraction:

 

(a) the numerator of which shall be the total number of shares of Common Stock issued and outstanding immediately prior to the time of such issuance or the close of business on such record date, and

 

(b) the denominator of which shall be the total number of shares of Common Stock issued and outstanding immediately prior to the time of such issuance or the close of business on such record date plus the number of shares of Common Stock issuable in payment of such dividend or distribution.

 

Notwithstanding the foregoing, (a) if such record date shall have been fixed and such dividend is not fully paid or if such distribution is not fully made on the date fixed therefor, the Conversion Price of this Note shall be recomputed accordingly as of the close of business on such record date and thereafter the Conversion Price of this Note shall be adjusted pursuant to this Section 6.5 as of the time of actual payment of such dividends or distributions; and (b) no such adjustment shall be made if the holders of this Note simultaneously receive a dividend or other distribution of shares of Common Stock in a number equal to the number of shares of Common Stock as they would have received if all of the principal amount due under this Note had been converted into Common Stock on the date of such event.

 

4

 

6.6 Adjustments for Other Dividends and Distributions. If, at any time or from time to time after the date of the issuance of this Note, the Maker shall make or issue, or fix a record date for the determination of holders of Common Stock entitled to receive, a dividend or other distribution payable in securities of the Maker (other than a distribution of shares of Common Stock in respect of outstanding shares of Common Stock) or in other property, then and in each such event the holders of this Note shall receive, simultaneously with the distribution to the holders of Common Stock, a dividend or other distribution of such securities or other property in an amount equal to the amount of such securities or other property as they would have received if all of the principal amount due under this Note had been converted into Common Stock on the date of such event.

 

6.7 Adjustment for Merger or Reorganization, etc. Subject to the provisions of Section 6.1, if there shall occur any reorganization, recapitalization, reclassification, consolidation or merger involving the Maker in which the Common Stock (but not the Note) is converted into or exchanged for securities, cash, or other property (other than a transaction covered by Sections 6.4, 6.5 or 6.6), then, following any such reorganization, recapitalization, reclassification, consolidation or merger, this Note shall thereafter be convertible in lieu of the Common Stock into which it was convertible prior to such event into the kind and amount of securities, cash or other property which a holder of the number of shares of Common Stock of the Maker issuable upon conversion of this Note immediately prior to such reorganization, recapitalization, reclassification, consolidation or merger would have been entitled to receive pursuant to such transaction; and, in such case, appropriate adjustment (as determined in good faith by the Board of Directors) shall be made in the application of the provisions in this Section 6 with respect to the rights and interests thereafter of the holders of this Note, to the end that the provisions set forth in this Section 6 (including provisions with respect to changes in and other adjustments of the Conversion Price of this Note) shall thereafter be applicable, as nearly as reasonably may be, in relation to any securities or other property thereafter deliverable upon the conversion of this Note.

 

6.8 Certificate as to Adjustments. Upon the occurrence of each adjustment or readjustment of the Conversion Price of this Note pursuant to this Section 6, the Maker at its expense shall, as promptly as reasonably practicable but in any event not later than ten days thereafter, compute such adjustment or readjustment in accordance with the terms hereof and furnish to each holder of this Note a certificate setting forth such adjustment or readjustment (including the kind and amount of securities, cash or other property into which this Note is convertible) and showing in detail the facts upon which such adjustment or readjustment is based. The Maker shall, as promptly as reasonably practicable after the written request at any time of any holder of this Note (but in any event not later than 10 days thereafter), furnish or cause to be furnished to such holder a certificate setting forth (i) the Conversion Price then in effect for this Note held by such holder, and (ii) the number of shares of Common Stock and the amount, if any, of other securities, cash, or property which then would be received upon the conversion of this Note.

 

6.9 Notice of Record Date. In the event:

 

(a) the Maker shall take a record of the holders of its Common Stock (or other capital stock or securities at the time issuable upon conversion of this Note) for the purpose of entitling or enabling them to receive any dividend or other distribution, or to receive any right to subscribe for or purchase any shares of capital stock of any class or series or any other securities, or to receive any other security; or

 

5

 

(b) of any capital reorganization of the Maker, any reclassification of the Common Stock of the Maker, or any Sale Transaction; or

 

(c) of the voluntary or involuntary dissolution, liquidation or winding-up of the Maker,

then, and in each such case, the Maker will send or cause to be sent to the holders of this Note a notice specifying, as the case may be, (i) the record date for such dividend, distribution or right, and the amount and character of such dividend, distribution or right, or (ii) the effective date on which such reorganization, reclassification, consolidation, merger, transfer, dissolution, liquidation or winding-up is proposed to take place, and the time, if any is to be fixed, as of which the holders of record of Common Stock (or such other capital stock or securities at the time issuable upon the conversion of this Note) shall be entitled to exchange their shares of Common Stock (or such other capital stock or securities) for securities or other property deliverable upon such reorganization, reclassification, consolidation, merger, transfer, dissolution, liquidation or winding-up, and the amount per share and character of such exchange applicable to this Note and the Common Stock. Such notice shall be sent at least 10 days prior to the record date or effective date for the event specified in such notice.

 

7. Default, Acceleration and Remedies.

 

7.1. Event of Default. Each of the following events shall constitute an “Event of Default”. An Event of Default shall be deemed to continue until waived by written notice by Holder to Maker or remedied by action of Maker.

 

(a) Payment Failure. The failure by Maker to make any payment of principal, interest, or any other sum or charge when due in accordance with the terms and conditions of this Note and such payment is not remedied within fourteen (14) calendar days after written notice of such default by Holder or Maker;

If there is a default in, or nonperformance of, any term or obligation in this Note other than those described in Section 7.1(a) above and, with respect to a default that can be remedied within thirty (30) days, such default is not remedied within thirty (30) calendar days after written notice of such default by Holder or Maker;

7.2. Acceleration; Other Remedies. Upon the occurrence of any Event of Default, the entire unpaid principal balance, together with all unpaid accrued interest thereon, and any other amounts owing under or evidenced by this Note shall, at the option of Holder and without notice or demand to Maker from Holder, become immediately due and payable in full; and Holder shall have and may exercise any and all rights and remedies available at law or in equity, and also any other rights and remedies as may otherwise be available to Holder. Maker expressly waives notice of the exercise of this option. Maker shall immediately deliver to Holder written notice of the occurrence of any Event of Default.

 

8. Prepayment. Maker shall have the right at any time to prepay this Note in full or in part during the entire term hereof without penalty or premium on the date of any prepayment with respect to the principal amount so paid. Maker must give Holder not less than five (5) nor more than ninety (90) days prior written notice of Maker’s intention to make the prepayment, specifying the date and amount of the prepayment. Such notice shall not suspend regular payments as they become due.

9. Costs of Collection. Maker agrees that if, and as often as, this Note is placed in the hands of an attorney for collection or to defend or enforce any of Holder’s rights hereunder, Maker will pay to Holder its reasonable attorneys’ and paralegals’ fees and costs, including, without limitation, all fees and costs incurred in litigation, mediation, arbitration, bankruptcy and administrative proceedings, and appeals therefrom, and all court costs and other expenses, including, without limitation, appraisal fees and costs of environmental review, incurred in connection therewith.

10. Time. Time is of the essence of this Note and each of the provisions hereof.

 

11. Interest Limitation. All agreements between Maker and Holder are hereby expressly limited so that in no contingency or event whatsoever, whether by reason of acceleration of maturity of the indebtedness evidenced hereby or otherwise, shall the amount paid or agreed to be paid to Holder for the use, forbearance, loaning or detention of the indebtedness evidenced hereby exceed the maximum permissible under applicable law. If from any circumstance whatsoever, fulfillment of any provision hereof at any time given the amount paid or agreed to be paid shall exceed the maximum permissible under applicable law, then, the obligation to be fulfilled shall automatically be reduced to the limit permitted by applicable law, and if from any circumstance Holder should ever receive as interest an amount which would exceed the highest lawful rate of interest, such amount which would be in excess of such highest lawful rate of interest shall be applied to the reduction of the principal balance evidenced hereby and not to the payment of interest. This provision shall control every other provision of all agreements between Maker and Holder and shall be binding upon and available to any subsequent holder of this Note.

 

12. Waiver by Maker. Maker and all sureties, endorsers, guarantors and all persons liable or to become liable on this Note: (i) waive diligence, presentment, protest and demand, notice of protest, notice of intent to accelerate, notice of acceleration, and demand and dishonor and non-payment of this Note and any and all other notices; (ii) consent to any and all renewals and extensions of the time of payment of this Note or after maturity; (iii) waive (to the fullest extent permitted by law) the right to plead any statute of limitations as a defense to any demand under this Note; and (iv) agree further that at any time and from time to time without notice, the terms of payment in this Note may be extended without in any way affecting the liability of any party under this Note or any person liable or to become liable with respect to any indebtedness evidenced by this Note.

 

13. No Waiver by Holder.

 

13.1 The remedies of Holder as provided herein shall be cumulative and concurrent, and may be pursued singularly, successively or together, at the sole discretion of Holder, and may be exercised as often as occasion therefore shall arise. No delay or omission by Holder in exercising, or failure by Holder on any one or more occasions to exercise any right, remedy or recourse hereunder, or at law or in equity, including without limitation Holder’s right, after the occurrence of any Event of Default by Maker, to declare the entire indebtedness evidenced hereby immediately due and payable, shall be construed as a novation of this Note or shall operate as a waiver or release or prevent the subsequent exercise of any or all such rights, such waiver or release to be effected only through a written document executed by Holder, and then only to the extent specifically recited therein. A waiver or release with reference to any one event shall not be construed as continuing, as a bar to, or as a waiver or release of any subsequent right, remedy, or recourse as to a subsequent event.

 

8

 

13.2 Acceptance by Holder of any portion or all of any sum payable hereunder, whether before, on, or after the due date of such payment shall not be a waiver of Holder’s right either to require prompt payment when due of all other sums payable hereunder or to exercise any of Holder’s rights, powers, and remedies hereunder. A waiver of any right in writing on one occasion shall not be construed as a waiver of Holder’s rights to insist thereafter upon strict compliance with the terms hereof without previous notice of such intention being given to Maker, and no exercise of any right by Holder shall constitute or be deemed to constitute an election of remedies by Holder precluding the subsequent exercise by Holder of any or all of the rights, powers and remedies available to it hereunder, or at law or in equity.

 

14. Cumulative Rights and Remedies. The remedies of Holder as provided in this Note, or in law or in equity, shall be cumulative and concurrent, and may be pursued singularly, successively, or together at the sole discretion of the holder of this Note, and may be exercised as often as occasion therefor shall occur. The failure to exercise any such right or remedy shall in no event be construed as a waiver or a release of this Note.

The obligations of the Maker under this Note are secured by all assets of the Maker and each Subsidiary pursuant to the Security Agreement, dated as of May 28, 2025 (as amended from time to time, the “Security Agreement”) between the Maker, the Subsidiaries of the Maker, and the Secured Parties (as defined therein).

(b) Obligor represents and warrants that it has no place of business or offices where its respective books of account and records are kept (other than temporarily at the offices of its attorneys or accountants) or places where Collateral is stored or located, except as set forth on Schedule A attached hereto;

 

(c) Except as set forth on Schedule D, Obligor is the sole owner of the Collateral (except for non-exclusive licenses granted by Obligor in the ordinary course of business), free and clear of any liens, security interests, encumbrances, rights or claims, and is fully authorized to grant the Security Interest in and to pledge the Collateral. Except as set forth on Schedule D, there is not on file in any governmental or regulatory authority, agency or recording office an effective financing statement, security agreement, license, or transfer or any notice of any of the foregoing (other than those that have been filed in favor of the Secured Party pursuant to this Agreement) covering or affecting any of the Collateral. Except as set forth on Schedule D, so long as this Agreement shall be in effect, the Obligor shall not execute and shall not knowingly permit to be on file in any such office or agency any such financing statement or other document or instrument (except to the extent filed or recorded in favor of the Secured Party pursuant to the terms of this Agreement).

 

3

 

(d) No part of the Collateral has been judged invalid or unenforceable. No written claim has been received that any Collateral or Obligor’s use of any Collateral violates the rights of any third parties. There has been no adverse decision to Obligor’s claim of ownership rights in or exclusive rights to use the Collateral in any jurisdiction or to the Obligor’s right to keep and maintain such Collateral in full force and effect, and there is no proceeding involving said rights pending or, to the best knowledge of any Obligor, threatened before any court, judicial body, administrative or regulatory agency, arbitrator, or other governmental authority.

 

(e) Obligor shall at all times maintain its books of account and records relating to the Collateral at its principal place of business and its Collateral at the locations set forth on Schedule A attached hereto and may not relocate such books of account and records or tangible Collateral unless it delivers to the Secured Party at least 30 days prior to such relocation (i) written notice of such relocation and the new location thereof (which must be within the United States) and (ii) evidence that appropriate financing statements and other necessary documents have been filed and recorded and other steps have been taken to perfect the Security Interest to create in favor of the Secured Party valid, perfected and continuing first priority liens in the Collateral.

 

(f) This Agreement creates in favor of the Secured Party a valid security interest in the Collateral securing the payment and performance of the Obligations and, upon making the filings described in the immediately following sentence, a perfected security interest in such Collateral. Except for the filing of financing statements on Form UCC-I under the UCC with the jurisdictions indicated on Schedule B, attached hereto, no authorization or approval of or filing with or notice to any governmental authority or regulatory body is required either (i) for the grant by the Obligor of, or the effectiveness of, the Security Interest granted hereby or for the execution, delivery and performance of this Agreement by the Obligor or (ii) for the perfection of or exercise by the Secured Party of its rights and remedies hereunder.

 

(g) On the date of execution of this Agreement, Obligor will deliver to the Secured Party one or more executed UCC financing statements on Form UCC-1 under the UCC with respect to the Security Interest for filing with the jurisdictions indicated on Schedule B, attached hereto and in such other jurisdictions as may be requested by the Secured Party.

 

(h) The execution, delivery, and performance of this Agreement does not conflict with or cause a breach or default, or an event that with or without the passage of time or notice, shall constitute a breach or default, under any agreement to which the Obligor is a party or by which the Obligor is bound. Except as set forth on Schedule 3(h), no consent (including, without limitation, from stockholders or creditors of the Obligor) is required for the Obligor to enter into and perform its obligations hereunder.

 

(i) Obligor shall at all times maintain the liens and Security Interest provided for hereunder as valid and perfected liens and security interests in the Collateral in favor of the Secured Party until this Agreement and the Security Interest hereunder shall be terminated pursuant to Section 11 hereof. Obligor hereby agrees to defend the same against any and all persons. The Obligor shall safeguard and protect all Collateral for the account of the Secured Party. At the request of the Secured Party, the Obligor will sign and deliver to the Secured Party at any time or from time to time one or more financing statements pursuant to the UCC (or any other applicable statute) in form reasonably satisfactory to the Secured Party and will pay the cost of filing the same in all public offices wherever filing is, or is deemed by the Secured Party to be, necessary or desirable to effect the rights and obligations provided for herein. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the Obligor shall pay all fees, taxes and other amounts necessary to maintain the Collateral and the Security Interest hereunder, and the Obligor shall obtain and furnish to the Secured Party from time to time, upon demand, such releases and/or subordinations of claims and liens which may be required to maintain the priority of the Security Interest hereunder.

5. Duty To Hold In Trust. Upon the occurrence of any Event of Default and at any time thereafter, Obligor shall, upon receipt by it of any revenue, income or other sums subject to the Security Interest, whether payable pursuant to the Note or otherwise, or of any check, draft, note, trade acceptance, or other instrument evidencing an obligation to pay any such sum, hold the same in trust for the Secured Party, such funds to be segregated from other funds of the Obligor in the deposit account to be opened pursuant to Section 3(q) herein, and shall forthwith endorse and transfer any such sums or instruments, or both, to the Secured Party for application to the satisfaction of the Obligations.

 

6. Rights and Remedies Upon Default. Upon the occurrence of any Event of Default and at any time thereafter, the Secured Party shall have the right to exercise all of the remedies conferred hereunder and under the Note, and the Secured Party shall have all the rights and remedies of a secured party under the UCC and/or any other applicable law (including the Uniform Commercial Code of any jurisdiction in which any Collateral is then located). Without limitation, the Secured Party shall have the following rights and powers:

 

(a) The Secured Party shall have the right to take possession of the Collateral and, for that purpose, enter, with the aid and assistance of any person, any premises where the Collateral, or any part thereof, is or may be placed and remove the same, and the Obligor shall assemble the Collateral and make it available to the Secured Party at places which the Secured Party shall reasonably select, whether at the Obligor’s premises or elsewhere, and make available to the Secured Party, without rent, all of the Obligor’s respective premises and facilities for the purpose of the Secured Party taking possession of, removing, or putting the Collateral in saleable or disposable form.

Upon each such sale, lease, assignment or other transfer of Collateral, the Secured Party may, unless prohibited by applicable law which cannot be waived, purchase all or any part of the Collateral being sold, free from and discharged of all trusts, claims, right of redemption and equities of the Obligor, which are hereby waived and released.

7. Applications of Proceeds. The proceeds of any such sale, lease, or other disposition of the Collateral hereunder shall be applied first, to the expenses of retaking, holding, storing, processing and preparing for sale, selling, and the like (including, without limitation, any taxes, fees and other costs incurred in connection therewith) of the Collateral, to the reasonable attorneys’ fees and expenses incurred by the Secured Party in enforcing their rights hereunder and in connection with collecting, storing and disposing of the Collateral, and then to satisfaction of the Obligations, and to the payment of any other amounts required by applicable law, after which the Secured Party shall pay to the Obligor any surplus proceeds. If, upon the sale, license, or other disposition of the Collateral, the proceeds thereof are insufficient to pay all amounts to which the Secured Party are legally entitled, the Obligor will be liable for the deficiency, together with interest thereon, at the rate of 18% per annum or such lesser amount permitted by applicable law (the “Default Rate”), and the reasonable fees of any attorneys employed by the Secured Party to collect such deficiency. To the extent permitted by applicable law, the Obligor waives all claims, damages, and demands against the Secured Party arising out of the repossession, removal, retention, or sale of the Collateral, unless due to the gross negligence or willful misconduct of the Secured Party.

 

8. Costs and Expenses. The Obligor agrees to pay all out-of-pocket fees, costs, and expenses incurred in connection with any filing required hereunder, including without limitation, any financing statements, continuation statements, partial releases, and/or termination statements related thereto or any expenses of any searches reasonably required by the Secured Party. The Obligor shall also pay all other claims and charges which in the reasonable opinion of the Secured Party might prejudice, imperil, or otherwise affect the Collateral or the Security Interest therein. The Obligor will also, upon demand, pay to the Secured Party the amount of any and all reasonable expenses, including the reasonable fees and expenses of its counsel and of any experts and agents, which the Secured Party may incur in connection with (i) the enforcement of this Agreement, (ii) the custody or preservation of, or the sale of, collection from, or other realization upon, any of the Collateral, or (iii) the exercise or enforcement of any of the rights of the Secured Party under the Note. Until so paid, any fees payable hereunder shall be added to the principal amount of the Note and shall bear interest at the Default Rate.

 

9. Responsibility for Collateral. Obligor assumes all liabilities and responsibility in connection with all Collateral, and the obligations of the Obligor hereunder or under the Note shall in no way be affected or diminished by reason of the loss, destruction, damage, or theft of any of the Collateral or its unavailability for any reason.

 

10. Security Interest Absolute. All rights of the Secured Party and all Obligations of the Obligor hereunder, shall be absolute and unconditional, irrespective of (a) any lack of validity or enforceability of this Agreement, the Note, or any agreement entered into in connection with the foregoing, or any portion hereof or thereof, (b) any change in the time, manner, or place of payment or performance of, or in any other term of, all or any of the Obligations, or any other amendment or waiver of or any consent to any departure from the Note or any other agreement entered into in connection therewith, (c) any exchange, release, or nonperfection, of any of the Collateral, or any release or amendment or waiver of or consent to departure from any other collateral for, or any guaranty, or any other security, for all or any of the Obligations, (d) any action by the Secured Party to obtain, adjust, settle, and cancel in their sole discretion any insurance claims or matters made or arising in connection with the Collateral, or (e) any other circumstance which might otherwise constitute any legal or equitable defense available to the Obligor, or a discharge of all or any part of the Security Interest granted hereby. Until the Obligations shall have been paid and performed in full, the rights of the Secured Party shall continue even if the Obligations are barred for any reason, including, without limitation, the running of the statute of limitations or bankruptcy. The Obligor expressly waives presentment, protest, notice of protest, demand, notice of nonpayment, and demand for performance. If any time any transfer of any Collateral or any payment received by the Secured Party hereunder shall be deemed by final order of a court of competent jurisdiction to have been a voidable preference or fraudulent conveyance under the bankruptcy or insolvency laws of the United States, or shall be deemed to be otherwise due to any parties other than the Secured Party, then, in any such event, the Obligor’s obligations hereunder shall survive cancellation of this Agreement, and shall not be discharged or satisfied by any prior payment thereof and/or cancellation of this Agreement, but shall remain a valid and binding obligation enforceable in accordance with the terms and provisions hereof. The Obligor waives all right to require the Secured Party to proceed against any other person or to apply any Collateral which the Secured Party may hold at any time, or to marshal assets, or to pursue any other remedy. The Obligor waives any defense arising by reason of the application of the statute of limitations to any Obligation secured hereby.

 

11. Term of Agreement.

 

(a) This Agreement and the Security Interest shall terminate on the date on which all payments under the Note have been made in full and all other Obligations have been paid or discharged, unless earlier terminated by written agreement of the Obligor and the Secured Party. Upon such termination, the Secured Party, at the request and at the expense of the Obligor, will join in executing any termination statement with respect to any financing statement executed and filed pursuant to this Agreement.

 

12. Power of Attorney; Further Assurances.

 

(a) The Obligor authorizes the Secured Party, and does hereby make, constitute and appoint it, and its respective officers, agents, successors or assigns with full power of substitution, as the Obligor’s true and lawful attorney-in-fact, with power, in its own name or in the name of the Obligor, to, after the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default, (i) endorse any notes, checks, drafts, money orders, or other instruments of payment (including payments payable under or in respect of any policy of insurance) in respect of the Collateral that may come into possession of such Secured Party; (ii) to sign and endorse any UCC financing statement or any invoice, freight or express bill, bill of lading, storage or warehouse receipts, drafts against debtors, assignments, verifications and notices in connection with accounts, and other documents relating to the Collateral; (iii) to pay or discharge taxes, liens, security interests, or other encumbrances at any time levied or placed on or threatened against the Collateral; (iv) to demand, collect, receipt for, compromise, settle, and sue for monies due in respect of the Collateral; and (v) generally, to do, at the option of such Secured Party, and at the Obligor’s expense, at any time, or from time to time, all acts and things which such Secured Party deems necessary to protect, preserve, and realize upon the Collateral and the Security Interest granted therein in order to effect the intent of this Agreement, the Note, and the Transaction Documents all as fully and effectually as the Obligor might or could do; and the Obligor hereby ratifies all that said attorney shall lawfully do or cause to be done by virtue hereof. This power of attorney is coupled with an interest and shall be irrevocable for the term of this Agreement and thereafter as long as any of the Obligations shall be outstanding.

(c) Obligor hereby irrevocably appoints the Secured Party as its attorney-in-fact, with full authority in the place and stead of the Obligor and in the name of the Obligor, from time to time in such Secured Party’s discretion, to take any action and to execute any instrument which such Secured Party may deem necessary or advisable to accomplish the purposes of this Agreement, including the filing, in its sole discretion, of one or more financing or continuation statements and amendments thereto, relative to any of the Collateral without the signature of the Obligor where permitted by law.

(d) If any provision of this Agreement is held to be invalid, prohibited, or unenforceable in any jurisdiction for any reason, unless such provision is narrowed by judicial construction, this Agreement shall, as to such jurisdiction, be construed as if such invalid, prohibited or unenforceable provision had been more narrowly drawn so as not to be invalid, prohibited or unenforceable. If, notwithstanding the foregoing, any provision of this Agreement is held to be invalid, prohibited, or unenforceable in any jurisdiction, such provision, as to such jurisdiction, shall be ineffective to the extent of such invalidity, prohibition, or unenforceability without invalidating the remaining portion of such provision or the other provisions of this Agreement and without affecting the validity or enforceability of such provision or the other provisions of this Agreement in any other jurisdiction.

 

(e) No waiver of any breach or default or any right under this Agreement shall be considered valid unless in writing and signed by the parties giving such waiver, and no such waiver shall be deemed a waiver of any subsequent breach or default or right, whether of the same or similar nature or otherwise.

Each of the parties hereto irrevocably submits to the exclusive jurisdiction of any Nevada State or United States Federal court over any action or proceeding arising out of or relating to this Agreement, and the parties hereto hereby irrevocably agree that all claims in respect of such action or proceeding may be heard and determined in such Nevada State or Federal court. The parties hereto agree that a final judgment in any such action or proceeding shall be conclusive and may be enforced in other jurisdictions by suit on the judgment or in any other inner provided by law. The parties hereto further waive any objection to venue in the State of Nevada and any objection to an action or proceeding in the State of Nevada, on the basis of forum non conveniens.

 

(i) This Agreement may be executed in any number of counterparts, each of which when so executed shall be deemed to be an original and, all of which taken together shall constitute one and the same Agreement in the event that any signature is delivered by electronic mail transmission, such signature shall create a valid binding obligation of the parties executing (or on whose behalf such signature is executed) the same with the same force and effect as if such electronic signature were the original thereof.
