ELECTROCORE, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES

Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements (unaudited)

 

Note 1. The Company

 

electroCore, Inc. and its subsidiaries (“electroCore” or the “Company”) is a commercial stage bioelectronic technology company whose mission is to improve health and quality of life through innovative non-invasive bioelectronic technologies.

 

electroCore, headquartered in Rockaway, NJ, has three wholly owned subsidiaries: electroCore UK Ltd, electroCore Germany GmbH and NeuroMetrix, Inc. (“NURO”). The Company has paused operations in Germany, with sales into the country and the rest of Europe being managed by electroCore UK Ltd.

 

Note 2. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies

 

(a) Basis of Presentation

 

The accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements were prepared in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“U.S. GAAP”) and with instructions to Form 10-Q and Article 10 of Regulation S-X under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended. In the opinion of management, the Company has made all necessary adjustments, which include normal recurring adjustments necessary for a fair presentation of the Company’s condensed consolidated financial position and results of operations for the interim periods presented. Certain information and disclosures normally included in the annual consolidated financial statements prepared in accordance with U.S. GAAP have been condensed or omitted. These interim condensed consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the audited consolidated financial statements and accompanying notes for the year ended December 31, 2024, included in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on March 12, 2025. The results for the three and six months ended June 30, 2025, are not necessarily indicative of the results to be expected for a full year, any other interim periods or any future year or period.

 

(b) Principles of Consolidation

 

The accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements include the accounts of electroCore and its wholly owned subsidiaries. All intercompany balances and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation.

 

(c) Use of Estimates

 

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with U.S. GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the consolidated financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates. Significant items subject to such estimates and assumptions include revenue, licensed products and loss contingencies.

 

(d) Cash, Cash Equivalents and Restricted Cash

 

The following table provides a reconciliation of cash, cash equivalents and restricted cash to the balance reflected on the Condensed Consolidated Statement of Cash Flows at June 30, 2025 and December 31, 2024:

 Schedule of Cash, Cash Equivalents and Restricted Cash

(in thousands)  

June 30,

2025

   

December 31,

2024

 
Cash and cash equivalents   $ 3,373     $ 3,450  
Restricted cash     250       250  
Total cash, cash equivalents and restricted cash   $ 3,623     $ 3,700  

 

As of June 30, 2025, cash equivalents represented funds held in an interest-bearing demand deposit account, U.S. treasury bills, and a money market account.

 

The Company’s restricted cash consists of cash that the Company is contractually obligated to maintain in accordance with the terms of its corporate credit card arrangement with Citibank, N.A.

 

(e) Marketable Securities

 

Marketable securities are carried at fair value, with unrealized gains and losses reported as accumulated other comprehensive income, except for losses from impairments which are determined to be other than temporary. Realized gains and losses and declines in value judged to be other-than-temporary are included in the determination of net loss and are included in interest and other income net. Fair values are based on quoted market prices at the reporting date. Interest and dividends on available-for-sale securities are included in Interest and other income. As of June 30, 2025, marketable securities amounted to $3.8 million and consist of U.S. treasury bills. The Company held $8.5 million of marketable securities at December 31, 2024.

(f) Recent Accounting Standards Pronouncements

 

In December 2023, the FASB issued Accounting Standards Update (ASU) No. 2023-09, Income Taxes (Topic 740), Improvements to Income Tax Disclosures which will require companies to make additional income tax disclosures. The pronouncement is effective for annual filings for the year ended December 31, 2025. The Company is still assessing the impact of the adoption of this standard but does not expect it to have a material impact on its results of operations, financial position or cash flows.

 

On November 2024, the FASB issued Accounting Standards Update (ASU) No. 2024-03, Income Statement (Topic 220): Reporting Comprehensive Income - Expense Disaggregation Disclosures, Disaggregation of Income Statement Expenses, which requires public companies to disclose, in interim and annual reporting periods, additional information about certain expenses in the financial statements. The amendments in this pronouncement will be effective for annual periods beginning after December 15, 2026, and interim reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2027. Early adoption is permitted and is effective on either a prospective basis or retrospective basis. The Company is currently assessing the potential impacts of adoption on its consolidated financial statements and related disclosures.

 

Note 3. Liquidity, Significant Risks and Uncertainties

 

Liquidity

 

The Company has experienced significant net losses, and it expects to continue to incur net losses for the near future as it works to increase market acceptance of its prescription (Rx) products and general wellness and human performance products. The Company has never been profitable and has incurred net losses and negative cash used in operations each year since its inception. The Company incurred net losses of $7.5 million and $6.2 million and used cash in its operations of $5.0 million and $4.3 million for the six months ended June 30, 2025, respectively.

 

The Company has historically funded its operations from the sale of its securities. During the six months ended June 30, 2025, the Company received net proceeds of approximately $0.2 million from such sales and as of June 30, 2025, the Company’s cash, cash equivalents, restricted cash and marketable securities totaled $7.4 million (“Cash Position”).

 

On July 24, 2025, our Form S-3 registration statement (File No. 333-284477), or the 2025 Shelf Registration Statement, was declared effective by the SEC. The 2025 Shelf Registration Statement relates to the potential offering and issuance from time to time of common stock, preferred stock, warrants, rights, debt securities and units, up to an aggregate amount of $100.0 million. The proposed maximum offering price per unit and the proposed maximum aggregate offering price per class of security in any future offering under the 2025 Shelf Registration Statement will be determined from time to time by us in connection with the issuance by us of the securities registered under the 2025 Shelf Registration Statement. As of the date of this Quarterly Report, we have $100.0 million remaining for potential issuance under the 2025 Shelf Registration Statement (including $19.8 million under the Sales Agreement (as defined below)). If we raise additional funds by issuing equity or debt securities, either through the sale of securities pursuant to a registration statement or by other means, our existing stockholders may experience dilution, and the new equity or debt securities may have rights, preferences and privileges senior to those of our existing stockholders.

 

On November 29, 2024, we entered into an At The Market Offering Agreement (the “Sales Agreement”) with H.C. Wainwright & Co., LLC (“Wainwright”), whereby the Company may offer and sell shares of its common stock from time to time having an aggregate offering price of up to $20 million by any method deemed to be an “at-the-market” offering (“ATM”) as defined in Rule 415 of the Securities Act, or any other method specified in the Sales Agreement.

 

On August 4, 2025 (the “LSA Closing Date”), we, and our wholly owned subsidiary, NURO, each as borrowers, entered into a Loan and Security Agreement (the “Loan and Security Agreement”), with Avenue Venture Opportunities Fund II, L.P. (“Avenue”), as administrative agent and collateral agent, and as lender, that is secured by a lien on substantially all of our assets, including a negative pledge on intellectual property, subject to limited exceptions, pursuant to the Loan and Security Agreement. The Loan and Security Agreement provides for term loans in an aggregate principal amount of up to $12.0 million (the “Loan Amount”) to be delivered in two tranches (the “Term Loans”). The tranches consist of (i) a term loan advanced to the Company on the LSA Closing Date in an aggregate principal amount of $7.5 million (“Tranche 1”), and (ii) subject to the achievement of certain performance milestones set forth in the Loan and Security Agreement, a right of the Company to request that Avenue make additional term loan advances to the Company in an aggregate principal amount of up to $4.5 million (“Tranche 2”), which right expires on December 31, 2025.

 

In the second half of 2025, we intend to continue to make targeted investments in sales and marketing to continue driving commercial activities. We have historically funded our operations from the sale of our common stock, and most recently the convertible debt financing with Avenue, and may continue to do so through utilization of the at-the-market facility or other equity or debt transactions if needed. As of the date of this Quarterly Report, the Company had approximately $19.8 million of common stock remaining available for issuance under the Sales Agreement pursuant to the 2025 Shelf Registration Statement.

 

The Company’s expected cash requirements for the next 12 months from the date these financial statements are issued and beyond are largely based on the commercial success of its products. Based on its current assessment, the Company believes its cash, cash equivalents, restricted cash, and marketable securities, plus the net proceeds from and expected cash flow from operations and access to capital through use of the ATM and Tranche 2 of the Term Loan, will enable it to fund its operating expenses and capital expenditure requirements, as currently planned, for at least the next 12 months from the date the accompanying financial statements are issued. There remain significant risks and uncertainties regarding the Company’s business, financial condition and results of operations. The Company’s future capital requirements are difficult to forecast and will depend on many factors that are out of its control. If the Company is unable to achieve its planned operating results or maintain sufficient financial resources, including through potential positive cash flow from operations or supplemental access to third-party debt, equity or hybrid capital, its business, financial condition and results of operations may be materially and adversely affected.

 

Concentration of Revenue Risks

 

The Company earns a significant amount of its revenue in the United States from the United States Department of Veterans Affairs and United State Department of Defense, or VA, pursuant to its qualifying contract under the Federal Supply Schedule, or FSS, and open market sales to individual VA facilities. For the three months ended June 30, 2025 and 2024, sales to the VA accounted for 71.8% and 74.5% of net sales, respectively. For the six months ended June 30, 2025 and 2024, sales to the VA accounted for 71.1% and 72.9% of net sales, respectively.

 

For the three and six months ended June 30, 2025 and 2024, Lovell Government Services, or Lovell, accounted for more than 10% of our VA net sales. During the three and six months ended June 30, 2025, sales associated with no single facility accounted for more than 10% of the total VA net sales. One facility accounted for more than 10% of the total VA net sales during the three and six months ended June 30, 2024. During the three and six months ended June 30, 2025 and 2024, one facility accounted for more than 10% of net sales from the United Kingdom National Health Service (“NHS”).

 

Foreign Currency Exchange

 

The Company has foreign currency exchange risks related to revenue and operating expenses in currencies other than the local currencies in which it operates. The Company is exposed to currency risk from the potential changes in the functional currency values of its assets, liabilities, and cash flows denominated in foreign currencies.

Note 6. Fair Value Measurements

 

Financial assets and liabilities carried at fair value are classified and disclosed in one of the following three levels of the fair value hierarchy:

 

  Level 1—Quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities.
  Level 2—Observable inputs (other than Level 1 quoted prices), such as quoted prices in active markets for similar assets or liabilities, quoted prices in markets that are not active for identical or similar assets or liabilities, or other inputs that are observable or can be corroborated by observable market data.
  Level 3—Unobservable inputs that are supported by little or no market activity and that are significant to determining the fair value of the assets or liabilities, including pricing models, discounted cash flow methodologies and similar techniques.

 

A summary of the assets and liabilities carried at fair value in accordance with the hierarchy defined above is as follows:

 Summary of Assets and Liabilities Carried at Fair Value

As of June 30, 2025, the Company’s Marketable securities in the amount of $3.8 million were carried at fair value in accordance with Level 1 as described above. As of June 30, 2025 and December 31, 2024, the Company had no financial assets or liabilities that required valuation in accordance with the levels described above. The Company recognizes transfers between levels of the fair value hierarchy as of the end of the reporting period. There were no transfers within the hierarchy during the three and six months ended June 30, 2025, and year ended December 31, 2024. The carrying amount of the Company’s receivables and payables approximate their fair value due to their maturity.

 

Note 7. Inventories

 

As of June 30, 2025 and December 31, 2024, inventories consisted of the following:

Inventory classified under the category “Work in process” consists of prefabricated assembled product.

 

Note 8. Leases

 

For the three and six months ended June 30, 2025, the Company recognized lease expenses of approximately $178,000 and $356,000, respectively. For the three and six months ended June 30, 2024, the Company recognized lease expenses of approximately $61,000 and $99,000, respectively. This expense does not include non-lease components associated with the lease agreements as the Company elected not to include such charges as part of the lease expense.

 

On February 6, 2024, the Company entered into The First Amendment to Lease Agreement (the “Rockaway Amendment”) to extend its Rockaway, New Jersey lease for an additional 10 years. The Rockaway Amendment was effective May 1, 2024, and expires on July 31, 2034, with a tenant option to renew for an additional five years. The increase in the term of the lease for the existing leased property was accounted for as a lease modification, therefore, the associated operating lease right of use assets and operating lease liabilities for the existing space were remeasured as of February 6, 2024. The Rockaway Amendment also includes the expansion of leased property from 13,643 square feet to 22,557 square feet. The Company has accounted for the expansion space as an increase in lease right of use assets effective with the Rockaway Amendment commencement date of June 1, 2024.

 

On May 1, 2025, the Company completed the acquisition of NURO, pursuant to the terms of the Agreement and Plan of Merger dated as of December 17, 2024 (the “Merger Agreement”), with NURO surviving as a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company. On July 14, 2025, NURO entered into the Amendment to Lease #1 to a lease with Cummings Properties, LLC providing for early termination of NURO’s Woburn, Massachusetts lease on July 30, 2025, which otherwise would have expired on September 15, 2025.

The proceeds from this transaction were used to partially fund the premiums due under certain of the Company’s insurance policies. The amounts payable are secured by the Company’s rights under such policies. Beginning July 2024, the Company began paying monthly installments of approximately $51,000.

 

During the three and six months ended June 30, 2025, the Company recognized $4,500 and $9,500 in aggregate interest expense related to the Company’s finance and security agreements, respectively.

A total of 883,433 pre-funded warrants were excluded from this table. During the six months ended June 30, 2025 investors exercised 725,000 pre-funded warrants.

 

Note 11. Net Loss Per Share

 

Basic net loss per share is computed by dividing net loss by the weighted-average number of shares of common stock outstanding during the period. Diluted loss per share is computed by dividing net loss by the weighted-average number of shares of common stock outstanding adjusted to give effect to potentially dilutive securities. Due to their nominal exercise price of $0.001 per share, 883,433 and 1,608,433 pre-funded warrants are considered common stock equivalents during the three and six months ended June 30, 2025 and 2024, respectively, and are included in weighted average shares outstanding in the accompanying condensed consolidated statement of operations as of the applicable purchase date. Stock unit awards, stock options, and warrants (other than the pre-funded warrants) have not been included in the diluted loss per share calculation as their inclusion would have had an anti-dilutive effect.

 

The potential common stock equivalents that have been excluded from the computation of diluted loss per share consist of the following:

Note 14. Commitments and Contingencies

 

The Company may be a party to various legal proceedings and claims arising out of the ordinary course of its business. Although the final results of all such matters and claims cannot be predicted with certainty, the Company currently believes that there are no current proceedings or claims pending against it the ultimate resolution of which would have a material adverse effect on its financial condition or results of operations. However, should the Company fail to prevail in any legal matter or should several legal matters be resolved against the Company in the same reporting period, such matters could have a material adverse effect on the Company’s operating results and cash flows for that particular period. In all cases, at each reporting period, the Company evaluates whether or not a potential loss amount or a potential range of loss is probable and reasonably estimable under ASC 450, “Contingencies.” Legal costs are expensed as incurred.

Note 16. Segment Reporting

 

Operating segments are defined as components of an enterprise about which separate discrete information is available for evaluation by the chief operating decision-maker (CODM), or decision-making group, in deciding how to allocate resources and in assessing performance. electroCore is a commercial stage bioelectronic technology company whose mission is to improve health and quality of life through innovative non-invasive bioelectronic technologies. The Company views its operations and manages its business as one operating segment: Bioelectronic Innovations. The accounting policies of the Bioelectronic Innovations segment are the same as those described in Note 2. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies.

 

Our CODM is our Chief Executive Officer. The CODM uses loss from operations, as reported on our Consolidated Statements of Operations, in evaluating the performance of the Bioelectronic Innovations segment and in determining how to allocate resources to the Company as a whole, The CODM does not review assets in evaluating the results of the Bioelectronic Innovations segment, and therefore, such information is not presented below.

Item 2. Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations

 

MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL

CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

 

You should read this section in conjunction with our unaudited interim condensed consolidated financial statements and related notes included in this Quarterly Report and our Quarterly Report for the period ended March 31, 2025,and our audited consolidated financial statements and related notes thereto and management’s discussion and analysis of financial condition and results of operations for the year ended December 31, 2024 included in our Annual Report. As discussed in the section titled “Cautionary Note Regarding Forward-Looking Statements,” the following discussion and analysis contains forward-looking statements that involve risks and uncertainties, as well as assumptions that, if they never materialize or prove incorrect, could cause our results to differ materially from those expressed or implied by such forward-looking statements. Factors that could cause or contribute to such differences include, but are not limited to, those identified below, and those under the caption “Risk Factors” in the aforementioned Annual Report and this Quarterly Report.

 

We are a commercial stage bioelectronic technology company whose mission is to improve health and quality of life through innovative non-invasive bioelectronic technologies. The Company’s two leading prescription products, gammaCore non-invasive vagus nerve stimulation (“nVNS”) and Quell neurostimulator (“Quell”), treat chronic pain syndromes through non-invasive neuromodulation technology Additionally, the Company commercializes its Truvaga products, handheld, personal use nVNS products, utilizing bioelectronic technologies, to promote general wellness and human performance.

 

nVNS, a form of bioelectronic technology, modulates neurotransmitters through its effects on both the peripheral and central nervous systems. Our nVNS treatment is delivered through a proprietary high-frequency burst waveform that safely and comfortably passes through the skin and stimulates therapeutically relevant fibers in the vagus nerve. Various scientific publications suggest that nVNS works through a variety of mechanistic pathways including the modulation of neurotransmitters.

 

Historically, vagus nerve stimulation or VNS, required an invasive surgical procedure to implant a costly medical device. This has generally limited VNS from being used by anyone other than the most severe patients. Our non-invasive bioelectronic nVNS technologies are self-administered and intended for regular or intermittent use over many years.

 

Our capabilities include product development, regulatory affairs and compliance, sales and marketing, product testing, electromechanical assembly, fulfillment, and customer support. We derive revenues from the sale of products in the United States and select overseas markets. We have two principal product categories:

 

  Handheld, personal use bioelectronic therapies for the management and treatment of certain medical conditions such as primary headache; and
     
  Handheld, personal use consumer products utilizing bioelectronic technologies to promote general wellness and human performance.

 

We believe our bioelectronic technologies may be used in the future to effectively treat additional medical conditions.

 

Our goal is to be a leader in non-invasive neuromodulation to deliver better health. To achieve this, we offer multiple propositions:

 

  Prescription gammaCore bioelectronic therapy for the treatment of certain prescription U.S. Food and Drug Administration (“FDA”) cleared medical conditions such as primary headache;
     
  Prescription Quell Fibromyalgia authorized to treat the symptoms of fibromyalgia;
     
  Truvaga for the support of general health and wellbeing; and
     
  TAC-STIM for human performance.

 

Our flagship gammaCore Sapphire is a prescription medical device using our bioelectronic therapy that is FDA cleared for a variety of primary headache conditions. gammaCore is available by prescription only and Sapphire is a portable, reusable, rechargeable and reloadable personal use option for patients to use at home or on the go. Prescriptions are written by a health care provider and dispensed from a specialty pharmacy, through the patient’s healthcare system, or shipped directly to certain patients in the United States from our facility in Rockaway, NJ. After the initial prescription is filled, access to additional therapy can be refilled for certain of our gammaCore products through the input of a prescription-only authorization.

 

We offer two versions of our bioelectronic technology to support general health and wellbeing. Truvaga 350 is a personal use consumer electronics general wellness product and Truvaga Plus, which was launched in April 2024, is our next generation, app-enabled general wellness product. Neither product requires a prescription, and are available direct-to-consumer from electroCore at www.truvaga.com or through online retailers.

 

The TAC-STIM handset is a form of nVNS for human performance and has been developed in collaboration with the United States Department of Defense Biotech Optimized for Operational Solutions and Tactics, or BOOST program. TAC-STIM handsets are available as a Commercial Off the Shelf (COtS) solution to professional organizations and are the subject of ongoing research and evaluation within the United States Air Force Special Operations Command, the United States Army Special Operations Command and at the United States Air Force Research Laboratory.

 

Truvaga and TAC-STIM are intended for general wellness in compliance with the FDA guidance document entitled “General Wellness: Policy for Low-Risk Devices; Guidance for Industry and FDA Staff, issued on September 27, 2019.” Truvaga and TAC-STIM handsets are not intended to diagnose, treat, cure, or prevent any disease or medical condition.

 

In 2021, Quell received Breakthrough Device Designation from the FDA for a fibromyalgia indication. A pivotal double-blind, randomized, sham-controlled clinical study of Quell Fibromyalgia was completed, and a, FDA 510(k) de novo marketing authorization was obtained from the FDA in 2022.

 

17

 

See “Item 1 – Business – De Novo Classification Process” and “Item 1.A – Risk Factors” of our Annual Report for additional information on the FDA’s 510(k) de novo classification and marketing authorization processes.

 

Quell Fibromyalgia is a prescription medical device sold in the United States and indicated for use as an aid for reducing the symptoms of fibromyalgia in adults with high pain sensitivity. Quell is a wearable neuromodulation technology for chronic pain, has been refined with feedback from over 200,000 chronic pain patients and is protected by over 20 U.S. utility patents. Patients control and personalize the technology with a mobile phone app, and their utilization of the devices and certain clinical metrics may be tracked in the Quell Health Cloud. Prescriptions for Quell Fibromyalgia are written by a health care provider and dispensed from a specialty pharmacy, through the patient’s healthcare system, or shipped directly to certain patients in the United States from our facility in Rockaway, NJ. After the initial prescription is filled, access to additional electrodes can be refilled without the need of a prescription. There is also a small legacy customer base utilizing the Quell Relief over-the-counter product for broader pain.

 

Our two largest customers by revenue are the United States Department of Veterans Affairs and United States Department of Defense, or VA, and the United Kingdom National Health Service, or NHS, utilizing our FDA cleared and CE marked product, gammaCore. We began offering Quell Fibromyalgia to our VA customers in May 2025.

 

Sales to the VA comprised 71.8% and 71.1% of our revenue during the three and six months ended June 30, 2025, respectively. The majority of our 2024 sales were made pursuant to our qualifying contract under the Federal Supply Schedule, or FSS, which was secured by us in December 2018 (the “Original FSS Contract”), as well as open market sales to individual facilities within the government channel. In March 2025, we entered into a new FSS contract which became effective on June 15, 2025, and runs through June 14, 2030.

 

In August 2023, we signed a non-exclusive distribution agreement with Lovell providing Lovell the right to list and distribute certain gammaCore products into the federal market. Lovell is a Service-Disabled Veteran-Owned Small Business (SDVOSB) offering medical and pharmaceutical goods and services to federal healthcare providers. Listing products with Lovell is intended to streamline the sales process to a variety of government procurement channels through Lovell’s compliance with contracting regulations and its provision of logistical solutions connected directly into government contracting portals, all of which are intended to help government agencies meet their SDVOSB procurement goals. Customers for these vehicles are federal healthcare systems such as the Veterans Health Administration (VHA, which includes the VA), the Military Health System (MHS), and Indian Health Services (IHS), which we believe serve up to approximately 21 million patients combined. In May 2025, we added Quell Fibromyalgia to the Lovell contracting platform.

 

Between November 2023 and January 2024, certain gammaCore products were added to the FSS, the VA Distribution and Pricing Agreement (DAPA), GSA Advantage, and Defense Logistics Agency’s ECAT system procurement portals through the Lovell contract vehicles, enabling the purchase of gammaCore products within the government channel and throughout the federal markets, including, but not limited to, the VA. The gammaCore products offered through Lovell provide government customers with similar product configuration options to those currently sold through our existing FSS contract, new FSS contract and open market sales made directly to individual VA facilities. We expect an increasing portion of our 2025 sales will be made pursuant to the distribution agreement with Lovell and its contract vehicles as well as through our new FSS contract, and our sales function in this channel is comprised of employees and an increasing number of independent contractors.

 

Sales under the UK Med Tech Funding Mandate, or MTFM, for cluster headache in the UK comprised 4.9% and 5.1% of our revenue during the three and six months ended June 30, 2025, respectively. We plan on continuing use of this program. In 2023, NHS granted a two-year extension in which our prescription gammaCore therapy will continue to be listed in the NHS catalog. This extension is through March 17, 2026 with an option for us to extend an additional two years. In 2025, we expect NICE to review the guidance document and any changes in recommendation or pricing may adversely impact our ability to work with NHS England on the MTFM program and could have an adverse impact on our financial results. We continue to utilize distribution partners to commercialize our nVNS technology in selected territories outside the United States and United Kingdom.

 

We believe there may be significant opportunities beyond these two areas. Specifically, we believe there may be a large commercial opportunity for our gammaCore and Quell bioelectronic therapies with additional insurance covered lives, cash pay, physician dispense, and direct-to-consumer approaches, along with wellness and human performance propositions through our Truvaga and TAC-STIM handsets. Therefore, we will continue our investments to expand our efforts in these channels and markets in 2025.

 

On May 1, 2025, we acquired NURO. NURO is a commercial stage healthcare company that develops and commercializes neurotechnology devices to address unmet needs in the chronic pain market through its Quell® platform: a wearable, app and cloud-enabled neuromodulation platform that is indicated for the treatment of fibromyalgia symptoms (Quell Fibromyalgia) and lower-extremity chronic pain (Quell 2.0). The transaction closed on May 1, 2025. The transaction excluded NURO’s DPNCheck® technology and business, which was divested by NURO prior to closing of the transaction.

 

We face a variety of challenges and risks that we will need to address and manage as we pursue our strategies, including our ability to develop and retain an effective sales force, achieve market acceptance of our gammaCore medical device among clinicians, patients, and third-party payers, expand the use of our medical devices to additional therapeutic indications, and to develop our nascent wellness and human performance businesses.

 

As we continue to pursue opportunities in both U.S. and select international markets, we remain subject to evolving global economic conditions, including uncertainties related to international trade policies, tariffs, and supply chain dynamics. Uncertainties and changes in trade regulations, tariff structures, or logistical constraints could influence the cost, availability, or timing of materials and components used in our manufacturing and assembly processes. We intend to monitor these developments and are actively implementing contingency plans, including alternative sourcing strategies and supplier diversification, to support supply chain continuity, maintain operational efficiency, and help mitigate potential future impacts.

 

We launched a direct-to-consumer wellness offering, Truvaga, and we remain subject to risks associated with the commercialization of our Truvaga product offering, including those associated with selling Truvaga through ecommerce marketplaces. Selling products through large, well established ecommerce marketplaces presents several risks including inventory management challenges, broader competition, potential account suspensions, and the risk of losing control over brand identity, value perception, and customer relationships. While we intend to monitor commercialization efforts through these marketplaces, there can be no assurance that we can respond adequately to reviews on public forums, or at all on third-party forums, which may cause a loss of control over our brand identity, value perception and customer relationships, and any inability to respond adequately may negatively impact our operating results.

 

Because of the numerous risks and uncertainties associated with our commercialization efforts, as well as research and product development activities, there may be uncertainty regarding our ability to achieve or maintain profitability. If we fail to become profitable or are unable to sustain profitability, then we may be unable to continue our operations at planned levels and be forced to reduce or terminate our operations.

 

Our expected cash requirements for the next 12 months and beyond are based on the commercial success of our products and our ability to control operating expenses. There are significant risks and uncertainties as to our ability to achieve these operating results. Due to these risks and uncertainties, we may need to reduce our activities significantly more than our current operating plan and cash flow projections assume in order to fund operations for the next 12 months. There can be no assurance that we will have sufficient cash flow and liquidity to fund our planned activities, which could force us to significantly reduce or curtail our activities and, ultimately potentially cease operations. See also “Liquidity Outlook.”

Critical Accounting Estimates

 

The preparation of our financial statements is in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America, or GAAP, which require us to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, revenues, expenses and other related disclosures. While we believe our estimates, assumptions and judgments are reasonable, they are based on information presently available. Actual results may differ significantly from these estimates due to changes in judgments, assumptions and conditions as a result of unforeseen events or otherwise, which could have a material impact on our financial position and results of operations.

 

We consider an accounting estimate to be critical if: (i) the accounting estimate requires us to make assumptions about matters that were highly uncertain at the time the accounting estimate was made, and (ii) changes in the estimate that are reasonably likely to occur from period to period or use of different estimates that we reasonably could have used in the current period, would have a material impact on our financial condition or results of operations. The critical accounting estimates, that we believe have the greatest potential impact on the condensed consolidated financial statements are disclosed in the section titled Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates in Part II of our Annual Report.

Net Sales

 

Net sales for the three months ended June 30, 2025 increased 20%, as compared to the three months ended June 30, 2024. The increase of $1.2 million is due to an increase in net sales of prescription products sold into the VA and revenue from the sales of our nonprescription general wellness Truvaga and TAC-STIM products. We expect that the majority of our remaining 2025 fiscal year revenue will continue to come from the prescription products sold into the VA and the Truvaga direct-to-consumer product offering. See the above Overview for discussion regarding our FSS contract with the VA.

Total Revenue   $ 7,381     $ 6,139  

 

Gross Profit

 

Gross profit increased by $1.1 million for the three months ended June 30, 2025 compared to the three months ended June 30, 2024. Gross margin was 87% and 86% for the three months ended June 30, 2025 and 2024, respectively. The increase in gross profit is attributable to the increased net sales and product mix. Gross profit and gross margin for the remainder of 2025 will be largely dependent on revenue levels, product mix, and any changes in the estimated useful lives of licensed devices.

 

Research and Development

 

Research and development expense in the second quarter of 2025 was $0.5 million, as compared to $0.6 million in the second quarter of 2024. This decrease was primarily due to reduced development costs in the three months ended June 30, 2025, as compared to the three months ended June 30, 2024. For the remainder of 2025, we expect our research and development expense to be higher than the comparable periods in 2024.

 

Selling, General and Administrative

 

Selling, general and administrative expense of $9.4 million for the three months ended June 30, 2025 increased by $2.1 million, or 30%, as compared to $7.3 million for the previous year period. This increase was primarily due to our greater investment in selling and marketing costs consistent with our increase in sales, $548,000 of bad debt expense associated with a TAC-STIM receivable, increased expenses associated with professional fees, and increased rent expense associated with the lease expansion. For the remainder of 2025, we plan on continuing to make targeted investments in sales and marketing to support our commercial efforts, particularly around sales and marketing efforts across all major U.S. channels.

 

Other Expense (Income)

 

Total other expense was $165,000 for the three months ended June 30, 2025, which consisted primarily of non-recurring expenses, including professional fees in connection with the NURO acquisition, as compared to total other expense of $64,000 for the three months ended June 30, 2024, which consisted primarily of a one-time expense associated with termination of an agreement.

Net Sales

 

Net sales for the six months ended June 30, 2025 increased 22% as compared to the six months ended June 30, 2024. The increase of $2.5 million is due to an increase in net sales of prescription products sold into the VA and outside the United States, and revenue from the sales of our nonprescription general wellness Truvaga products. We expect that the majority of our remaining 2025 fiscal year revenue will continue to come from the prescription products sold into the VA and the Truvaga direct-to-consumer product offering. See the above Overview for discussion regarding our FSS contract with the VA.

The following table sets forth our product net sales:

 

(in thousands)   Six months ended June 30,  
Product   2025     2024  
Rx gammaCore - VA   $ 9,906     $ 8,447  
Rx gammaCore - U.S. Commercial     683       909  
Rx Quell – V.A.     114       -  
Quell – U.S. Commercial     48       -  
Outside the United States     978       913  
Truvaga     2,100       957  
Total before TAC-STIM     13,829       11,226  
TAC-STIM     271       356  
Total Revenue   $ 14,100     $ 11,582  

 

Gross Profit

 

Gross profit increased by $2.3 million for the six months ended June 30, 2025 compared to the six months ended June 30, 2024. Gross margin was 86% and 85% for the six months ended June 30, 2025 and 2024, respectively. The increase in gross profit is attributable to the increased net sales and product mix. Gross profit and gross margin for the remainder of 2025 will be largely dependent on revenue levels, product mix, and any changes in the estimated useful lives of licensed devices.

 

Research and Development

 

Research and development expense for the six months ended June 30, 2025 was $1.2 million, as compared to $1.0 million during the six months ended June 30, 2024. This increase was primarily due to an increase in headcount and certain clinical trial activities in the first quarter of 2025 as compared to the first quarter of 2024. For the remainder of 2025, we expect our research and development expense to be higher than the comparable periods in 2024.

 

Selling, General and Administrative

 

Selling, general and administrative expense of $18.3 million for the six months ended June 30, 2025 increased by $3.0 million, or 20%, as compared to $15.3 million for the previous year period. This increase was primarily due to our greater investment in selling and marketing costs consistent with our increase in sales, an increase in separation costs associated with select headcount reductions, bad debt expense associated with a TAC-STIM receivable, increased expenses associated with professional fees, and increased rent expense associated with the lease expansion. For the remainder of 2025, we plan on continuing to make targeted investments in sales and marketing to support our commercial efforts, particularly around sales and marketing efforts across all major U.S. channels.

 

Other Expense (Income)

 

Total other expense was $246,000 for the six months ended June 30, 2025, which consisted primarily of non-recurring expenses, including professional fees in connection with the NURO acquisition, as compared to total other income of $157,000 for the six months ended June 30, 2024, which consisted primarily of interest income.

 

Benefit from Income Taxes

 

We may be eligible, from time to time, to receive cash from the sale of our net operating losses under New Jersey’s Department of the Treasury - Division of Taxation NOL Transfer Program. For the six months ended June 30, 2025 and 2024 the Company received net cash payments of $48,000 and $122,000, respectively, from the sale of its New Jersey state net operating losses.

 

Cash Flows

 

The following table sets forth the significant sources and uses of cash for the periods noted below:

 

    For the six months ended June 30,  
    2025     2024  
(in thousands)      
Net cash (used in) provided by                
Operating activities   $ (4,978 )   $ (4,330 )
Investing activities   $ 4,685     $ (3,928 )
Financing activities   $ 183     $ 8,120  

 

21

 

Operating Activities

 

Net cash used in operating activities was $5.0 million and $4.3 million for the six months ended June 30, 2025 and 2024, respectively. This increase is primarily due to the decrease in our net loss adjusted for non-cash expense items and certain working capital changes consisting primarily of decreases in accrued expenses and operating lease liabilities and increases in inventories and prepaid expenses and other assets.

 

Investing Activities

 

Net cash provided by investing activities was $4.7 million and $3.9 million for the six months ended June 30, 2025 and 2024, respectively. This increase is primarily due to proceeds from the sale of marketable securities.

 

Financing Activities

 

During the six months ended June 30, 2025, net cash provided by financing activities was $0.2 million attributable to utilization of our at-the-market facility pursuant to the Sales Agreement. During the six months ended June 30, 2024, net cash provided by financing activities was $8.1 million which was attributable to the entering into a registered direct offering and concurrent private placements, which closed on June 5, 2024.

 

Liquidity Outlook

 

We have experienced significant net losses, and we expect to continue to incur net losses for the near future as we work to increase market acceptance of our gammaCore therapy and general wellness and human performance products. We have never been profitable and we have incurred net losses and negative cash used in operations in each year since our inception. We incurred net losses of $7.5 million and $6.2 million and used cash in our operations of $5.0 million and $4.3 million for the six months ended June 30, 2025 and 2024, respectively.

 

We have historically funded our operations from the sale of our securities. During the six months ended June 30, 2025, we received net proceeds of approximately $0.2 million from such sales and as of June 30, 2025, our cash, cash equivalents, restricted cash and marketable securities totaled $7.4 million.

 

On November 29, 2024, we entered into an At The Market Offering Agreement (the “Sales Agreement”) with H.C. Wainwright & Co., LLC (“Wainwright”), whereby the Company may offer and sell shares of its common stock from time to time having an aggregate offering price of up to $20 million by any method deemed to be an “at-the-market” offering as defined in Rule 415 of the Securities Act, or any other method specified in the Sales Agreement. During the six months ended June 30, 2025, the Company sold 14,265 shares of its common stock at a weighted average price of $15.20 per share, net of issuance costs for $0.2 million in net proceeds, pursuant to the Sales Agreement.

 

On August 4, 2025, we, and our wholly owned subsidiary, NURO, each as borrowers, entered into the Loan and Security Agreement with Avenue that is secured by a lien on substantially all of our assets, including a negative pledge on intellectual property, subject to limited exceptions, pursuant to the Loan and Security Agreement. The Loan and Security Agreement provides for term loans in an aggregate principal amount of up to $12.0 million (the “Loan Amount”) to be delivered in two tranches (the “Term Loans”). The tranches consist of (i) a term loan advanced to the Company on August 4, 2025 in an aggregate principal amount of $7.5 million (“Tranche 1”), and (ii) subject to the achievement of certain performance milestones set forth in the Loan and Security Agreement, a right of the Company to request that Avenue make additional term loan advances to the Company in an aggregate principal amount of up to $4.5 million (“Tranche 2”) which right expires on December 31, 2025.

 

In 2025, we intend to continue to make targeted investments in sales and marketing to continue driving commercial activities. We have historically funded our operations from the sale of our common stock, and most recently the convertible debt financing with Avenue, and may continue to do so through utilization of the at-the-market facility or other equity or debt transactions if needed. As of the date of this Quarterly Report, the Company had approximately $19.8 million of common stock remaining available for issuance under the Sales Agreement.

 

The Company’s expected cash requirements for the next 12 months from the date these financial statements are issued and beyond are largely based on the commercial success of its products. Based on its current assessment, the Company believes its cash, cash equivalents, restricted cash, and marketable securities, plus the net proceeds from Tranche 1 of the Term Loan, and expected cash flow from operations and access to capital through the use of the ATM and Tranche 2 of the Term Loan will enable it to fund its operating expenses and capital expenditure requirements, as currently planned, for at least the next 12 months from the date the accompanying financial statements are issued. There remain significant risks and uncertainties regarding the Company’s business, financial condition and results of operations. The Company’s future capital requirements are difficult to forecast and will depend on many factors that are out of its control. If the Company is unable to achieve its planned operating results or maintain sufficient financial resources, including through potential positive cash flow from operations or supplemental access to third-party debt, equity or hybrid capital, its business, financial condition and results of operations may be materially and adversely affected.

Item 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk

 

We develop our products in the United States and sell those products into several countries. As a result, our financial results could be affected by factors such as changes in foreign currency exchange rates or weak economic conditions in foreign markets. Most of our sales in UK are denominated in British Pound Sterling and our license agreement with Teijin Limited is denominated in Japanese Yen. As our sales in currencies other than the U.S. dollar increase, our exposure to foreign currency fluctuations may increase. In addition, changes in exchange rates also may affect the end-user prices of our products compared to those of our foreign competitors, who may be selling their products based on local currency pricing. These factors may make our products less competitive in some countries.

 

If the U.S. dollar uniformly increased or decreased in strength by 10% relative to the foreign currencies in which our sales were denominated, our net income would have correspondingly increased or decreased by an immaterial amount for the three and six months ended June 30, 2025.

 

Our exposure to market interest rate risk is confined to our cash and cash equivalents and marketable securities. The goals of our investment policy are preservation of capital, fulfillment of liquidity needs and fiduciary control of cash and investments. We also seek to maximize income from our investments without assuming significant risk. To achieve our goals, we may maintain a portfolio of cash equivalents and investments in a variety of securities of high credit quality. The securities in our investment portfolio, if any, are not leveraged, are classified as available for sale and are, due to their very short-term nature, subject to minimal interest rate risk. We currently do not hedge interest rate exposure. Because of the short-term maturities of our cash equivalents, we do not believe that an increase in market rates would have any material negative impact on interest income recognized in our statement of operations. We have no investments denominated in foreign currencies and therefore our investments are not subject to foreign currency exchange risk. We contract with investigational sites, suppliers and other vendors in Europe and internationally. In addition, our license agreement requires payments to us to be denominated in Japanese Yen. We are subject to fluctuations in foreign currency rates in connection with these agreements. We do not hedge our foreign currency exchange rate risk.

 

All of the potential changes noted above are based on sensitivity analyses performed on our financial position as of June 30, 2025.

 

Item 4. Controls and Procedures

 

Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures

 

We maintain disclosure controls and procedures that are designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed in our reports under the Exchange Act, is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the rules and forms, and that such information is accumulated and communicated to us, including our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, as appropriate, to allow timely decision making regarding required disclosure. In designing and evaluating our disclosure controls and procedures, we recognize that any controls and procedures, no matter how well designed and operated, can provide only reasonable assurance of achieving the desired control objectives, as ours are designed to do, and we apply our judgment in evaluating whether the benefits of the controls and procedures that we adopt outweigh their costs.

 

As required by Rule 13a-15(b) and 15d-15(f) of the Exchange Act, an evaluation as of June 30, 2025 was conducted under the supervision and with the participation of our management, including our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, of the effectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Rule 13a-15(e) under the Exchange Act). Based on this evaluation, our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures, as of June 30, 2025 were effective for the purposes stated above.

 

Changes in Internal Control over Financial Reporting

 

There was no change in our internal control over financial reporting as such term is defined in Rules 13a-15(f) and 15d-15(f) under the Exchange Act, that occurred during the six months ended June 30, 2025 that has materially affected or is reasonably likely to materially affect our internal control over financial reporting.

PART II— OTHER INFORMATION

 

Item 1. LEGAL PROCEEDINGS

 

The information set forth in Note 18. Legal Proceedings of the condensed consolidated financial statements included in this Quarterly Report is incorporated here by reference to this Part II Item 1.

 

Item 1A.

 

RISK FACTORS

 

You should carefully consider the risk factors included in Item 1A. of the Annual Report, in addition to the following risk factors, and the other information in this Quarterly Report, including the section of this Quarterly Report titled “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations” and our financial statements and related notes. If any of the events described in the Annual Report, the following risk factors and the risks described elsewhere in this Quarterly Report occur, our business, operating results and financial condition could be seriously harmed. This Quarterly Report also contains forward-looking statements that involve risks and uncertainties. Our actual results could differ materially from those anticipated in the forward-looking statements as a result of factors that are described in the Annual Report, below and elsewhere in this Quarterly Report.

 

The terms of our Loan and Security Agreement with Avenue Venture Opportunities Fund II, L.P. require us to meet certain operating covenants and place certain restrictions on our operating and financial flexibility. If we raise additional capital through debt financing, the terms of any new debt could further restrict our ability to operate our business.

 

On August 4, 2025, we, and our wholly owned subsidiary, NURO, each as borrowers, entered the Loan and Security Agreement with Avenue, as administrative agent and collateral agent, and as lender, that is secured by a lien on substantially all of our assets, including a negative pledge on intellectual property, subject to limited exceptions, pursuant to the Loan and Security Agreement.

 

The Loan and Security Agreement contains customary affirmative and negative covenants and events of default. We could in the future incur additional indebtedness beyond our borrowings under the Loan and Security Agreement. If we raise any additional debt financing, the terms of such additional debt could further restrict our operating and financial flexibility. These restrictions may include, among other things, limitations on the incurrence of additional debt and specific restrictions on the use of our assets, as well as prohibitions on our ability to create liens, pay dividends, redeem capital stock or make investments. If we default under the terms of the Loan and Security Agreement, Avenue may accelerate all of our repayment obligations and take control of our pledged assets, potentially requiring us to renegotiate our agreement on terms less favorable to us or to immediately cease operations. Further, if we were to be liquidated, Avenue’s rights to repayment would be senior to the rights of the holders of our common stock. Avenue could declare an event of default upon the occurrence of any circumstance or circumstances that could reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect (as defined under the Loan and Security Agreement). Any declaration by Avenue of an event of default could significantly harm our business and prospects and could cause the price of our common stock to decline.

 

Our existing or future debt could have significant adverse consequences, including:

 

requiring us to dedicate a substantial portion of cash flow from operations or cash on hand to the payment of interest on, and principal of, our debt, which will reduce the amounts available to fund working capital, capital expenditures, product development efforts, and other general corporate purposes;
subjecting us to restrictive covenants that may reduce our ability to take certain corporate actions or obtain further debt or equity financing; and
limiting our flexibility in planning for, or reacting to, changes in our business and our industry; and placing us at a competitive disadvantage compared to our competitors that have less debt or better debt servicing options.

 

In order to satisfy our current and future debt service obligations, we will be required to raise funds from external sources. We may be unable to arrange for additional financing to pay the amounts due under our existing debt. Funds from external sources may not be available on acceptable terms, if at all. Our failure to satisfy our current and future debt obligations could adversely affect our financial condition and results of operations.

 

Risks of doing business through e-commerce marketplaces.

 

We have recently launched a direct-to-consumer wellness offering, Truvaga, and we remain subject to risks associated with the commercialization of our Truvaga product offering, including those associated with selling Truvaga through e-commerce marketplaces. Selling products through large, well established e-commerce marketplaces presents several risks including inventory management challenges, broader competition, potential account suspensions, and the risk of losing control over brand identity, value perception, and customer relationships. While we intend to monitor commercialization efforts through these marketplaces, there can be no assurance that we can respond adequately to reviews on public forums that may cause a loss of control over our brand identity, value perception and customer relationships, and any inability to respond adequately may negatively impact our financial results. In addition, our business may be adversely affected if online marketplaces, such as has been the case recently with Amazon, remove our products on the basis that they are classified as medical devices requiring FDA clearance or registration. Such removal can significantly disrupt our sales channels, reduce product visibility, and impair revenue generation, particularly if online sales constitute a substantial portion of our sales and marketing strategy. While we intend to appeal Amazon’s decision, the appeals process is uncertain, time-consuming, and may not result in reinstatement. Prolonged or permanent removal could lead to inventory write-downs, loss of market share, reputational harm, and increased compliance costs. Additionally, similar actions by other e-commerce platforms or heightened regulatory scrutiny could further restrict market access, adversely impacting our business, financial condition, and results of operations.

 

Our failure to meet Nasdaq’s continued listing standards could result in a delisting of our common stock, which could negatively impact the market price and liquidity of our common stock and our ability to access the capital markets.

 

Pursuant to Nasdaq Listing Rule 5550(b), in order to maintain our listing on Nasdaq, we are required to continue to meet one of the following continued listing standards: (i) net income from continuing operations (in the most recently completed fiscal year or in two of the three most recently completed fiscal years) of at least $500,000 (the “Net Income Standard”); (ii) market value of listed securities of at least $35 million (the “Market Value Standard”); or (iii) stockholders’ equity of at least $2.5 million (the “Equity Standard”).

 

As of June 30, 2025, our stockholders’ equity was less than $2.5 million and therefore less than the Equity Standard. As a result, if Nasdaq determines that we do not meet either of the Net Income Standard or the Market Value Standard, we may receive a deficiency letter from Nasdaq. Upon receipt of such deficiency letter, we will have a period of time to resolve such deficiency and, if necessary, will have the opportunity to present a plan to regain compliance.

 

There can be no assurance that Nasdaq will accept our plan to regain compliance or that we will meet the Equity Standard during any compliance period, if one is provided to us. If our common stock is de-listed from Nasdaq, it will have material negative impact on the actual and potential liquidity of our securities, as well as material negative impact on our ability to raise future capital.

 

If, for any reason, Nasdaq should delist our common stock from trading on its exchange and we are unable to obtain listing on another national securities exchange or take action to restore our compliance with the Nasdaq continued listing requirements, a reduction in some or all of the following may occur, each of which could have a material adverse effect on our stockholders:

 

the liquidity of our common stock;
the market price of our common stock;
our ability to obtain financing for the continuation of our operations;
the number of institutional and general investors that will consider investing in our common stock;
the number of investors in general that will consider investing in our common stock;
the number of market makers in our common stock;
the availability of information concerning the trading prices and volume of our common stock; and
  the number of broker-dealers willing to execute trades in shares of our common stock.

Item 5. OTHER INFORMATION 

 

(a)

 

Avenue Loan and Security Agreement

 

On the LSA Closing Date, we, and our wholly owned subsidiary, NURO, each as borrowers, entered into the Loan and Security Agreement with Avenue as administrative agent and collateral agent, and as lender.

 

Amount. The Loan and Security Agreement provides for term loans in an aggregate principal amount of up to $12.0 million (the “Loan Amount”) to be delivered in two tranches (the “Term Loans”). The tranches consist of (i) a term loan advanced to the Company on the LSA Closing Date in an aggregate principal amount of $7.5 million (“Tranche 1”), and (ii) subject to the achievement of certain performance milestones set forth in the Loan and Security Agreement, a right of the Company to request that Avenue make additional term loan advances to the Company in an aggregate principal amount of up to $4.5 million (“Tranche 2”), which right expires on December 31, 2025. The Company intends to use the proceeds of the Term Loans for working capital and general corporate purposes.

 

Maturity. The Term Loans mature on August 1, 2029 (the “Maturity Date”).

 

Interest Rate and Amortization. The principal balance of the Term Loans bears interest at a variable rate per annum equal to the greater of (i) the sum of 5.0% and the prime rate as reported in The Wall Street Journal, provided that, in the event such prime rate of interest is less than zero, such rate shall be deemed to be zero, and (ii) twelve and one-half percent (12.50%) (the “Interest Rate”). Interest only shall be payable at the Interest Rate during the period following the LSA Closing Date and continuing until the first day of the first full calendar month following the 18 month anniversary of the LSA Closing Date, provided, however, that such period shall be extended for six months if as of the 18 month anniversary of the LSA Closing Date, the Company has achieved certain milestones, as provided in the Supplement to the Loan and Security Agreement dated August 4, 2025, by and among the Company, NURO and Avenue (the “Supplement”); provided, further, however, that the such interest only period shall not exceed 24 months. Thereafter, principal and interest of the Term Loans shall be fully amortized and paid, in equal, monthly principal installments, plus interest at the Interest Rate for such month, through the Maturity Date, subject to the terms and conditions of the Supplement.

 

Final Payment. The Company will pay final payment at a fee of 3.5% of the Loan Amount, due upon the earlier of the Maturity Date or prepayment in full of the Term Loans.

 

Prepayment Fee. The Company may, at its option at any time, prepay the Term Loans in their entirety by paying the then outstanding principal balance and all accrued and unpaid interest on the Term Loans, subject to a prepayment fee equal to (i) 3.0% of the principal amount outstanding if the prepayment occurs on or prior to the first anniversary following the LSA Closing Date, (ii) 2.0% of the principal amount outstanding if the prepayment occurs after the first anniversary following the LSA Closing Date, but on or prior to the second anniversary following the LSA Closing Date, and (iii) 1.0% of the principal amount outstanding if the prepayment occurs after the second anniversary following the LSA Closing Date, but on or prior to the Maturity Date.

 

Security. The Loan and Security Agreement is collateralized by substantially all of the Company’s assets in which Avenue is granted a senior secured lien. The Company also grants Avenue a negative pledge on the Company’s intellectual property, subject to limited exceptions, pursuant to the Loan and Security Agreement.

 

Covenants; Representations and Warranties; Other Provisions. The Loan and Security Agreement contains customary representations, warranties and covenants, including covenants by the Company limiting certain additional indebtedness, liens (including a negative pledge on intellectual property and other assets, subject to limited exceptions), guaranties, substantial asset sales, investments and loans, certain corporate changes, transactions with affiliates and fundamental changes.

 

Default Provisions. The Loan and Security Agreement provides for events of default customary for term loans of this type, including but not limited to non-payment, breaches or defaults in the performance of covenants, insolvency, bankruptcy and the occurrence of a material adverse effect on the Company. After the occurrence of an event of default, Avenue may (i) accelerate payment of all obligations, impose an increased rate of interest, and terminate Avenue commitments under the Loan and Security Agreement and (ii) exercise any other right or remedy provided by contract or applicable law.

 

Conversion Right. Additionally, subject to certain exceptions, Avenue has the right to convert (the “Conversion Right”) an aggregate amount of up to $2.5 million of the outstanding Loan Amount into shares of the Company’s common stock at a conversion price per share equal to $8.4625, representing 125% of the lower of (i) the five-day volume-weighted average price of Company’s common stock as calculated on the day prior to the LSA Closing Date, or (ii) the closing price of Company’s common stock on the date prior to the LSA Closing Date ($6.77). In the event the Company elects to prepay the Term Loans in full, the Company shall provide no less than five business days’ prior written notice to Avenue; provided, however, if Avenue has not yet exercised the Conversion Right, the Company shall provide written notice of prepayment at least 10 days in advance of the proposed prepayment date and Avenue shall have the option, with respect to the Conversion Right, to exercise the Conversion Right by delivering written notice to the Company at least two business days in advance of the proposed prepayment date.

 

25

 

Right to Invest. Avenue shall have the right, but not the obligation, to invest up to an aggregate of $1 million in equity securities of the Company on the same terms, conditions, and pricing offered by the Company to other investors in connection with any offering of the Company’s equity securities to third party investors for capital raising purposes occurring after the Closing Date, on the terms and conditions set forth in the Supplement.

 

The foregoing summary of the Loan and Security Agreement and the Supplement do not purport to be complete and are qualified in their entirety by reference to the full text of Loan and Security Agreement and the Supplement, which are filed herewith as Exhibits 10.1 and 10.2, and are incorporated by reference herein. The representations, warranties and covenants in the Loan and Security Agreement and the Supplement were made only for purposes of such agreement and as of specific dates and were solely for the benefit of the parties to such agreements.

 

Avenue Subscription Agreement

 

In connection with the entry into the Loan and Security Agreement, the Company entered into a Subscription Agreement (the “Subscription Agreement”) between the Company and Avenue, pursuant to which the Company issued 106,351 shares (the “Subscription Shares”) of the Company’s common stock to Avenue for no additional consideration. The issuance of the Subscription Shares was made in reliance on the exemption from registration contained in Section 4(a)(2) of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”), and Rule 506 of Regulation D thereunder, because the offer and sale of such securities does not involve a “public offering” as defined in Section 4(a)(2) of the Securities Act, and other applicable requirements are met.

 

Pursuant to the Subscription Agreement, the Company shall use its commercially reasonable efforts to prepare and file with the SEC within 60 days of the LSA Closing Date a registration statement on Form S-3, or if the Company is not then eligible to register for resale securities on Form S-3, on another appropriate form of registration statement, registering the resale of the Subscription Shares, and the shares of the Company’s common stock issuable upon the Conversion Right pursuant to the Loan and Security Agreement.

 

The foregoing summary of the Subscription Agreement does not purport to be complete and is qualified in its entirety by reference to the full text of Subscription Agreement, which is filed herewith as Exhibit 10.3 and is incorporated by reference herein. The representations, warranties and covenants Subscription Agreement were made only for purposes of such agreement and as of specific dates and were solely for the benefit of the parties to such agreement.

 

Appointment of New Director

 

On August 1, 2025, the Company’s Board of Directors (the “Board”) appointed James C. Theofilos as a new Class II member of the Board. The term of each Class II director lasts until the Company’s 2026 annual meeting of stockholders. In connection with the appointment of Mr. Theofilos to the Board, the size of the Board was increased by resolution of the Board from seven members to eight members on August 1, 2025.

 

James C. Theofilos, 30, has been a Senior Finance Manager within the Azure and artificial intelligence division of Microsoft Corporation (“Microsoft”) since October 2023. In this role, Mr. Theofilos is the Go-to-Market (“GTM”) Finance Lead across Microsoft’s AI Apps & Agents team, which includes all of Microsoft’s AI models, GitHub Copilot, Copilot Studio, and other products that aim to deliver the full value of AI & Agents. Previously, Mr. Theofilos held various finance positions at Microsoft including his position as the Finance Lead for Microsoft’s Global Healthcare & Life Sciences Sales team, which included exposure to the Health Providers, Payors, Pharma and Med Tech industry verticals. Prior to that, Mr. Theofilos consulted as a Group Project Manager at VICI Properties Inc., a publicly traded Real Estate Investment Trust primarily engaged in the business of owning and acquiring gaming, hospitality, wellness, entertainment, and leisure destinations, based in New York City. Mr. Theofilos holds an M.S. in Finance and a B.S.B.A. in Finance from Washington University in Saint Louis. The Board believes that Mr. Theofilos’ business experience, and his knowledge of the finance and technology industries, qualify him to serve on the Board.

 

There are no arrangements or understandings between Mr. Theofilos and any other persons pursuant to which he was selected as a director of the Company. As required to be disclosed under Item 404(a) of Regulation S-K, Happy Holstein Management, LLC (“Happy Holstein”), of which Mr. Theofilos’ mother, Kathryn Theofilos, is the manager, participated as an investor in the Company’s June 2024 private placement. Happy Holstein purchased (i) warrants to purchase up to 385,059 shares of common stock, par value $0.001 per share, of the Company (the “Common Stock”), and (ii) and pre-funded warrants to purchase 770,119 shares of Common Stock, in the private placement, the terms of which were described in a registration statement on Form S-1, originally filed by the Company with the SEC on July 10, 2024. The registration statement on Form S-1 covers the resale of certain securities issuable in connection with the private placement, and was declared effective by the SEC on July 22, 2024.

 

In connection with his appointment to the Board, Mr. Theofilos will receive the Company’s standard non-employee director compensation, and has been granted an inaugural equity award effective August 1, 2025, pursuant to the Company’s Non-Employee Director Compensation Policy, a copy of which was filed with the SEC as Exhibit 10.13 to the Company’s Registration Statement on Form S-1 on August 24, 2023. Additionally, Mr. Theofilos and the Company will enter into the Company’s standard indemnification agreement for directors and executive officers, the form of which was filed with the SEC as Exhibit 10.14 to the Company’s Registration Statement on Form S-1/A on May 21, 2018.

 

Resignation and Reappointment of a Director

 

Consistent with the amended and restated certificate of incorporation and amended and restated bylaws of the Company, and in order to achieve a more equal balance of membership among the three classes of members of the Board, the Board has determined that one of the Class II directors with a term expiring at the Company’s 2026 annual meeting of stockholders should move to Class III with a term expiring at the Company’s 2027 annual meeting of stockholders. Accordingly, on August 1, 2025, Thomas M. Patton resigned as a Class II director with a term expiring at the Company’s 2026 annual meeting of stockholders, and was immediately reappointed to the Board as a Class III director with a term expiring at the Company’s 2027 annual meeting of stockholders. The resignation and reappointment of Mr. Patton was not due to any disagreement with the Company, the Board or the management of the Company. For all other purposes, including equity award vesting and other compensation matters, Mr. Patton’s service on the Board is deemed to have continued uninterrupted. Mr. Patton will continue as the Chair of the Audit Committee of the Board.

LOAN AND SECURITY AGREEMENT

 

Dated as of August 4, 2025

 

between

 

ELECTROCORE, INC.

a Delaware corporation

(referred to herein as “Borrower” or as “Company”)

as a borrower,

 

and

 

NEUROMETRIX, INC.

a Delaware corporation (“NeuroMetrix”)

as a borrower

(together with Company, each, individually, a “Borrower”, and collectively “Borrower”)

 

and

AVENUE VENTURE OPPORTUNITIES FUND II, L.P.,

a Delaware limited partnership

as administrative agent and collateral agent (in such capacity “Agent”)

and as a lender (in such capacity, “Lender”)

 

 

 

LOAN AND SECURITY AGREEMENT

 

Borrower, Lender and Agent anticipate entering into one or more transactions pursuant to which Lender agrees to make available to Borrower a loan facility governed by the terms and conditions set forth in this document and one or more Supplements executed by Borrower, Lender and Agent which incorporate this document by reference. Each Supplement constitutes a supplement to and forms part of this document, and will be read and construed as one with this document, so that this document and the Supplement constitute a single agreement between the parties (collectively referred to as this “Agreement”).

 

Accordingly, the parties agree as follows:

 

ARTICLE 1 - INTERPRETATION

 

1.1 Definitions. The terms defined in Article 11 and in the Supplement will have the meanings therein specified for purposes of this Agreement.

 

1.2 Inconsistency. In the event of any inconsistency between the provisions of any Supplement and this document, the provisions of the Supplement will be controlling for the purpose of all relevant transactions.

 

ARTICLE 2 - THE COMMITMENT AND LOANS

 

2.1 The Commitment. Subject to the terms and conditions of this Agreement, Lender agrees to make term loans to Borrower from time to time from the Closing Date and to and including the Termination Date in an aggregate principal amount not exceeding the Commitment. The Commitment is not a revolving credit commitment, and Borrower does not have the right to repay and reborrow hereunder. Each Loan requested by Borrower to be made on a single Business Day shall be for a minimum principal amount set forth in the Supplement, except to the extent the remaining Commitment is a lesser amount.

 

2.2 Notes Evidencing Loans; Repayment. Each Loan shall be evidenced by a separate Note payable to the order of Lender, in the total principal amount of the Loan. Principal and interest of each Loan shall be payable at the times and in the manner set forth in the Note and regularly scheduled payments thereof shall be effected by automatic debit of the appropriate funds from Borrower’s Primary Operating Account as specified in the Supplement hereto. Repayment of the Loans and payment of all other amounts owed to Lender will be paid by Borrower in the currency in which the same has been provided (i.e., United States Dollars).

 

2.3 Procedures for Borrowing.

 

(a) Other than a borrowing on the Closing Date, at least five (5) Business Days prior to a proposed Borrowing Date (or such lesser period of time as may be agreed upon by Lender participating in the Loan in its sole discretion), Lender shall have received from Company a written request for a borrowing hereunder (a “Borrowing Request”). Each Borrowing Request shall be in substantially the form of Exhibit “B” to the Supplement, shall be executed by a responsible executive or financial officer of Borrower, and shall state the amount of the requested Loan, and shall be accompanied by such other information and documentation as Lender may reasonably request, including the executed Note(s) for the Loan(s) covered by the Borrowing Request.

 

(b) No later than 1:00 p.m. Pacific Standard Time on the Borrowing Date, if Borrower has satisfied the conditions precedent in Article 4 by 9:00 a.m. Pacific Standard Time on such Borrowing Date, Lender shall make its pro rata share of the Loan available to Borrower in immediately available funds.

 

2.4 Interest. Except as otherwise specified in the applicable Note and/or Supplement, Basic Interest on the outstanding principal balance of each Loan shall accrue daily at the Designated Rate from the applicable Borrowing Date. If the outstanding principal balance of such Loan is not paid at maturity, interest shall accrue at the Default Rate until paid in full, as further set forth herein.

 

2.5 Intentionally Omitted.

 

1

 

2.6 Interest Rate Calculation. Basic Interest, along with charges and fees under this Agreement and any Loan Document, shall be calculated for actual days elapsed on the basis of a 360-day year, which results in higher interest, charge or fee payments than if a 365-day year were used. In no event shall Borrower be obligated to pay Lender’s interest, charges or fees at a rate in excess of the highest rate permitted by applicable law from time to time in effect.

 

2.7 Default Interest. Any unpaid payments in respect of the Obligations shall bear interest from their respective maturities, whether scheduled or accelerated, at the Default Rate, compounded monthly. Borrower shall pay such interest promptly on written (electronic mail being sufficient) demand.

 

2.8 Late Charges. If Borrower is late in making any scheduled payment in respect of the Obligations by more than five (5) days, then Borrower agrees to pay a late charge of five percent (5%) of the payment due, but not less than $50.00 for any one such delinquent payment. This late charge may be charged by Lender for the purpose of defraying the expenses incidental to the handling of such delinquent amounts. Borrower acknowledges that such late charge represents a reasonable sum considering all of the circumstances existing on the date of this Agreement and represents a fair and reasonable estimate of the costs that will be sustained by Lender due to the failure of Borrower to make timely payments. Borrower further agrees that proof of actual damages would be costly and inconvenient. Such late charge shall be paid without prejudice to the right of Lender and Agent to collect any other amounts provided to be paid or to declare a default under this Agreement or any of the other Loan Documents or from exercising any other rights and remedies of Agent or Lender.

 

2.9 Lender’s Records. Principal, Basic Interest and all other sums owed under any Loan Document shall be evidenced by entries in records maintained by Lender for such purpose. Each payment on and any other credits with respect to principal, Basic Interest and all other sums outstanding under any Loan Document shall be evidenced by entries in such records. Absent manifest error, Lender’s records shall be conclusive evidence thereof. Upon prior written request by Borrower, Lender shall provide to Borrower and its auditors such record entries to assist with their preparation of the Borrower’s financial statements required to be delivered pursuant to Section 5.2.

 

2.10 Grant of Security Interests; Filing of Financing Statements.

 

(a) To secure the timely payment and performance of all of Borrower’s Obligations, Borrower hereby grants to Agent, for the benefit of Lender, a continuing lien on and security interest in all of the Collateral. In connection with the foregoing, Borrower hereby authorizes Agent to prepare and file any financing statements describing the Collateral without otherwise obtaining Borrower’s signature or consent with respect to the filing of such financing statements. Such financing statements may indicate the Collateral as “all assets of the Debtor” or words of similar effect.

 

(b) In furtherance of Borrower’s grant of the security interests in the Collateral pursuant to Section 2.10(a) above, Borrower hereby pledges and grants to Agent, for the benefit of Lender, a security interest in all the Shares, together with all proceeds and substitutions thereof, all cash, stock and other moneys and property paid thereon, all rights to subscribe for securities declared or granted in connection therewith, and all other cash and noncash proceeds of the foregoing, as security for the performance of the Obligations. On the Closing Date or at any time thereafter following Agent’s request, the certificate or certificates for the Shares will be delivered to Agent, accompanied by an instrument of assignment duly executed in blank by Borrower, unless such Shares have not been certificated. To the extent required by the terms and conditions governing the Shares, Borrower shall cause the books of each entity whose Shares are part of the Collateral and any transfer agent to reflect the pledge of the Shares. Upon the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default hereunder and written notice to Borrower, Agent may effect the transfer of any securities included in the Collateral (including but not limited to the Shares) into the name of Agent and cause new certificates representing such securities to be issued in the name of Agent or its transferee(s). Borrower will execute and deliver such documents, and take or cause to be taken such actions, as Agent may reasonably request in writing (electronic mail being sufficient) to perfect or continue the perfection of Agent’s security interest in the Shares. Except as provided in the following sentence, Borrower shall be entitled to exercise any voting rights with respect to the Shares and to give consents, waivers and ratifications in respect thereof, provided that no vote shall be cast or consent, waiver or ratification given or action taken which would constitute a violation of any of the terms of this Agreement. All such rights to vote and give consents, waivers and ratifications shall terminate upon the occurrence and continuance of an Event of Default and Agent’s written notice to Borrower of Agent’s intent to exercise its rights and remedies under this Agreement, including this Section 2.10(b).

 

2

 

(c) Borrower is and shall remain absolutely and unconditionally liable for the performance of its Obligations, including, without limitation, any deficiency by reason of the failure of the Collateral to satisfy all amounts due to Lender under any of the Loan Documents.

 

(d) All Collateral pledged by Borrower under this Agreement and any Supplement shall secure the timely payment and performance of all Obligations. Except as expressly provided in this Agreement, no Collateral pledged under this Agreement or any Supplement shall be released until such time as all Obligations have been satisfied and paid in full (other than inchoate indemnity obligations).

 

ARTICLE 3 - REPRESENTATIONS AND WARRANTIES

 

Borrower represents and warrants that, except as set forth in the Supplement or the Schedule of Exceptions hereto, if any, as of the Closing Date and each Borrowing Date:

 

3.1 Due Organization. Borrower is an entity duly organized and validly existing in good standing under the laws of the jurisdiction of its incorporation or formation, and is duly qualified to conduct business and is in good standing in each other jurisdiction in which its business is conducted or its properties are located, except where the failure to be so qualified would not reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect.

 

3.2 Authorization, Validity and Enforceability. The execution, delivery and performance of all Loan Documents executed by Borrower are within Borrower’s powers, have been duly authorized, and are not in conflict with Borrower’s certificate of incorporation or by-laws, or the terms of any charter or other organizational document of Borrower, as amended from time to time; and all such Loan Documents constitute valid and binding obligations of Borrower, enforceable in accordance with their terms (except as may be limited by bankruptcy, insolvency and similar laws affecting the enforcement of creditors’ rights in general, and subject to general principles of equity).

 

3.3 Compliance with Applicable Laws. Borrower has complied with all licensing, permit and fictitious name requirements necessary to lawfully conduct the business in which it is engaged, and to any sales, leases or the furnishing of services by Borrower, including without limitation those requiring consumer or other disclosures, the noncompliance with which would have a Material Adverse Effect.

 

3.4 No Conflict. The execution, delivery, and performance by Borrower of all Loan Documents are not in conflict with any law, rule, regulation, order or directive, or any material indenture, agreement, or undertaking to which Borrower is a party or by which Borrower may be bound or affected.

 

3.5 No Litigation, Claims or Proceedings. Except as shown on Schedule 3.5, there is no litigation, tax claim, proceeding or dispute pending, or, to the knowledge of Borrower, threatened against or affecting Borrower, its property or the conduct of its business that, individually or on the aggregate, would reasonably be expected to result in liability or damages to Borrower in excess of $100,000.

 

3.6 Correctness of Financial Statements. Borrower’s financial statements dated as of ______ __, 2025 which have been delivered to Lender fairly and accurately, in all material respects, reflect Borrower’s financial condition in accordance with GAAP (except for the Monthly Financial Statements) as of the latest date of such financial statements; and, since that date there has been no Material Adverse Change.

 

3.7 No Subsidiaries. Except as shown on Schedule 3.17, as of the Closing Date, Borrower is not a majority owner of or in a control relationship with any other business entity.

 

3.8 Environmental Matters. To its knowledge after reasonable inquiry, Borrower has concluded that Borrower is in compliance with Environmental Laws, except to the extent a failure to be in such compliance would not reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect.

 

3.9 No Event of Default. Except as disclosed on Schedule 3.9, no Default or Event of Default has occurred and is continuing.

 

3.10 Full Disclosure. None of the representations or warranties made by Borrower in the Loan Documents as of the date such representations and warranties are made or deemed made, and none of the written statements contained in any exhibit, report, statement or certificate furnished by or on behalf of Borrower in connection with the Loan Documents (including disclosure materials delivered by or on behalf of Borrower to either Lender prior to the Closing Date or pursuant to Section 5.2 hereof), taken as a whole, contains any untrue statement of a material fact or omits any material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements made therein, in light of the circumstances under which they are made, not materially misleading as of the time when made or delivered; provided that, with respect to projected financial information, the Borrower represents only that such information was prepared in good faith based upon assumptions believed to be reasonable at the time delivered and, if such projected financial information was delivered prior to the Closing Date, as of the Closing Date (it being the understanding that the projections, by their nature, are inherently uncertain, no assurances are being given that the results reflected in the projections will be achieved, and actual results during the period or periods covered by any such projections may differ from the projected results in material respects).

(b) Rights to Payment. The names of the obligors, amounts owing to Borrower, due dates and all other information with respect to the Rights to Payment are and will be correctly stated in all material respects in all Records relating to the Rights to Payment.

3.13 Regulatory Compliance. Borrower has met the minimum funding requirements of ERISA with respect to any employee benefit plans subject to ERISA.

Borrower has complied in all material respects with all the provisions of the Federal Fair Labor Standards Act.

 

3.14 Shares.

To Borrower’s knowledge, there are no subscriptions, warrants, rights of first refusal or other restrictions on transfer relative to, or options exercisable with respect to the Shares. The Shares have been and will be duly authorized and validly issued, and are fully paid and non-assessable. To Borrower’s knowledge, the Shares are not the subject of any present or threatened suit, action, arbitration, administrative or other proceeding, and Borrower knows of no reasonable grounds for the institution of any such proceedings.

 

3.15 Compliance with Anti-Corruption Laws. Borrower has not taken any action that would cause a violation of any anti-corruption law, including but not limited to, the Foreign Corrupt Practices Act, the United Kingdom Bribery Act, and all other applicable anti-corruption laws.

To the extent permitted by law, Borrower hereby specifically waives all rights of redemption and any rights of stay or appraisal which it has or may have under any applicable law in effect from time to time. Any such public or private sales shall be held at such times and at such place(s) as Lender may determine. In case of the sale of all or any part of the Collateral on credit or for future delivery, the Collateral so sold may be retained by Agent until the selling price is paid by the purchaser, but neither Agent nor Lender shall incur any liability in case of the failure of such purchaser to pay for the Collateral and, in case of any such failure, such Collateral may be resold. Agent may, at the direction of Lender, instead of exercising its power of sale, proceed to enforce its security interest in the Collateral by seeking a judgment or decree of a court of competent jurisdiction. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, if an Event of Default is in existence, in each case, at the direction of Lender:

 

(1) Subject to the rights of any third parties, Agent may license, or sublicense, whether general, special or otherwise, and whether on an exclusive or non-exclusive basis, any Copyrights, Patents or Trademarks included in the Collateral throughout the world for such term or terms, on such conditions and in such manner as Lender shall in its sole discretion determine;

 

(2) Agent may (without assuming any obligations or liability thereunder), at any time and from time to time, enforce (and shall have the exclusive right to enforce) against any licensee or sublicensee all rights and remedies of Borrower in, to and under any Copyright Licenses, Patent Licenses or Trademark Licenses and take or refrain from taking any action under any thereof, and Borrower hereby releases Agent and Lender from, and agrees to hold Agent and Lender free and harmless from and against any claims arising out of, any lawful action so taken or omitted to be taken with respect thereto other than, with respect to Agent or Lender, claims arising out of the gross negligence or willful misconduct of Agent or Lender, respectively;

 

(3) Upon request by Agent, Borrower will execute and deliver to Agent a power of attorney, in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to Agent, for the implementation of any lease, assignment, license, sublicense, grant of option, sale or other disposition of a Copyright, Patent or Trademark. In the event of any such disposition pursuant to this clause 3, Borrower shall supply its know-how and expertise relating to the products or services made or rendered in connection with Patents, the manufacture and sale of the products bearing Trademarks, and its customer lists and other records relating to such Copyrights, Patents or Trademarks and to the distribution of said products, to Agent;

 

(4) If, at any time when Lender shall determine to exercise its right to sell the whole or any part of the Shares hereunder, such Shares or the part thereof to be sold shall not, for any reason whatsoever, be effectively registered under the Securities Act (or any similar statute), then Agent may, at the direction of Lender in its sole discretion (subject only to applicable requirements of law), sell such Shares or part thereof by private sale in such manner and under such circumstances as Lender may deem necessary or advisable, but subject to the other requirements of this Article 7, and shall not be required to effect such registration or to cause the same to be effected. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, in any such event, Agent may, at the direction of Lender in its discretion, (i) in accordance with applicable securities laws proceed to make such private sale notwithstanding that a registration statement for the purpose of registering such Shares or part thereof could be or shall have been filed under the Securities Act (or similar statute), (ii) approach and negotiate with a single possible purchaser to effect such sale, and (iii) restrict such sale to a purchaser who is an accredited investor under the Securities Act and who will represent and agree that such purchaser is purchasing for its own account, for investment and not with a view to the distribution or sale of such Shares or any part thereof. In addition to a private sale as provided above in this Article 7, if any of the Shares shall not be freely distributable to the public without registration under the Securities Act (or similar statute) at the time of any proposed sale pursuant to this Article 7, then Agent shall not be required to effect such registration or cause the same to be effected but, in its discretion (subject only to applicable requirements of law), may require that any sale hereunder (including a sale at auction) be conducted subject to restrictions:

 

(A) as to the financial sophistication and ability of any Person permitted to bid or purchase at any such sale;

 

(B) as to the content of legends to be placed upon any certificates representing the Shares sold in such sale, including restrictions on future transfer thereof;

 

15

 

(C) as to the representations required to be made by each Person bidding or purchasing at such sale relating to such Person’s access to financial information about Borrower or any of its Subsidiaries and such Person’s intentions as to the holding of the Shares so sold for investment for its own account and not with a view to the distribution thereof; and

 

(D) as to such other matters as Agent may, in its discretion, deem necessary or appropriate in order that such sale (notwithstanding any failure so to register) may be effected in compliance with the Bankruptcy Code and other laws affecting the enforcement of creditors’ rights and the Securities Act and all applicable state securities laws.

 

(5) Borrower recognizes that Agent may be unable to effect a public sale of any or all the Shares and may be compelled to resort to one or more private sales thereof in accordance with clause (4) above. Borrower also acknowledges that any such private sale may result in prices and other terms less favorable to the seller than if such sale were a public sale and, notwithstanding such circumstances, agrees that any such private sale shall not be deemed to have been made in a commercially unreasonable manner solely by virtue of such sale being private. Agent shall be under no obligation to delay a sale of any of the Shares for the period of time necessary to permit the applicable Subsidiary to register such securities for public sale under the Securities Act, or under applicable state securities laws, even if Borrower and/or the Subsidiary would agree to do so.

 

7.4 Borrower’s Obligations upon Default. Upon the request of Agent, at the direction of Lender, after the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default, Borrower will:

 

(a) Assemble and make available to Agent the Collateral at such place(s) as Agent shall reasonably designate, segregating all Collateral so that each item is capable of identification; and

 

(b) Subject to the rights of any lessor, permit Agent, by Agent’s officers, employees, agents and representatives, to enter any premises where any Collateral is located, to take possession of the Collateral, to complete the processing, manufacture or repair of any Collateral, and to remove the Collateral, or to conduct any public or private sale of the Collateral, all without any liability of Agent or Lender for rent or other compensation for the use of Borrower’s premises.

 

ARTICLE 8 - SPECIAL COLLATERAL PROVISIONS

 

8.1 Compromise and Collection. Borrower and Agent recognize that setoffs, counterclaims, defenses and other claims may be asserted by obligors with respect to certain of the Rights to Payment; that certain of the Rights to Payment may be or become uncollectible in whole or in part; and that the expense and probability of success of litigating a disputed Right to Payment may exceed the amount that reasonably may be expected to be recovered with respect to such Right to Payment. Borrower hereby authorizes Agent, after and during the continuance of an Event of Default, to compromise with the obligor, accept in full payment of any Right to Payment such amount as Agent shall negotiate with the obligor, or abandon any Right to Payment, in each case, as directed by Lender. Any such action by Agent shall be considered commercially reasonable so long as Lender has made the determination in good faith based on information known to it at the time Agent takes any such action.

 

8.2 Performance of Borrower’s Obligations. Without having any obligation to do so, upon reasonable prior notice to Borrower, Agent may, at the direction of Lender, perform or pay any obligation which Borrower has agreed to perform or pay under this Agreement, including, without limitation, the payment or discharge of taxes or Liens levied or placed on or threatened against the Collateral, provided that Lender shall fund amounts necessary to make such payments ratably in accordance with the principal amount of the Loans held by Lender. In so performing or paying, Agent and Lender shall determine the action to be taken and the amount necessary to discharge such obligations. Borrower shall reimburse Agent on demand for any amounts paid by Agent or Lender pursuant to this Section, whereupon, Agent shall promptly deliver to Lender such payments, which amounts shall constitute Obligations secured by the Collateral and shall bear interest from the date of demand at the Default Rate.

 

8.3 Power of Attorney. For the purpose of protecting and preserving the Collateral and Agent’s and Lender’s rights under this Agreement, Borrower hereby irrevocably appoints Agent, with full power of substitution, as its attorney-in-fact with full power and authority, after the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default, to do any act which Borrower is obligated to do hereunder, as directed by Lender; to exercise such rights with respect to the Collateral as Borrower might exercise, as directed by Lender; to use such Inventory, Equipment, Fixtures or other property as Borrower might use, as directed by Lender; to enter Borrower’s premises; to give notice of Agent’s security interest in, and to collect the Collateral, as directed by Lender; and before or after Default, to execute and file in the Borrower’s name any financing statements, amendments and continuation statements, account control agreements or other Security Documents necessary or desirable to create, maintain, perfect or continue the perfection of Agent’s security interests in the Collateral. Borrower hereby ratifies all that Agent shall lawfully do or cause to be done by virtue of this appointment.

 

16

 

8.4 Authorization for Agent to Take Certain Action. The power of attorney created in Section 8.3 is a power coupled with an interest and shall be irrevocable. The powers conferred on Agent hereunder and thereunder are solely to protect its interests in the Collateral and shall not impose any duty upon Agent to exercise such powers. Agent shall be accountable only for amounts that it actually receives as a result of the exercise of such powers and in no event shall Agent or any of its directors, officers, employees, agents or representatives be responsible to Borrower for any act or failure to act, except for gross negligence or willful misconduct. After the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default, Agent may exercise this power of attorney without notice to or assent of Borrower, in the name of the Borrower, or in Agent’s own name, from time to time in Agent’s sole discretion and at Borrower’s expense. To further carry out the terms of this Agreement, after the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default, Agent may, at the direction of Lender:

 

(a) Execute any statements or documents or take possession of, and endorse and collect and receive delivery or payment of, any checks, drafts, notes, acceptances or other instruments and documents constituting Collateral, or constituting the payment of amounts due and to become due or any performance to be rendered with respect to the Collateral.

 

(b) Sign and endorse any invoices, freight or express bills, bills of lading, storage or warehouse receipts; drafts, certificates and statements under any commercial or standby letter of credit relating to Collateral; assignments, verifications and notices in connection with Accounts; or any other documents relating to the Collateral, including without limitation the Records.

 

(c) Use or operate Collateral or any other property of Borrower for the purpose of preserving or liquidating Collateral.

 

(d) File any claim or take any other action or proceeding in any court of law or equity or as otherwise deemed appropriate by Agent for the purpose of collecting any and all monies due or securing any performance to be rendered with respect to the Collateral.

 

(e) Commence, prosecute or defend any suits, actions or proceedings or as otherwise deemed appropriate by Agent for the purpose of protecting or collecting the Collateral. In furtherance of this right, upon the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default, Agent may apply for the appointment of a receiver or similar official to operate Borrower’s business.

 

(f) Prepare, adjust, execute, deliver and receive payment under insurance claims, and collect and receive payment of and endorse any instrument in payment of loss or returned premiums or any other insurance refund or return, and apply such amounts at Agent’s sole discretion, toward repayment of the Obligations or replacement of the Collateral.

 

8.5 Application of Proceeds. Any Proceeds and other monies or property received by Agent pursuant to the terms of this Agreement or any Loan Document may be applied as follows:

 

First, to Agent, the aggregate amount of all documented costs, expenses, indemnities and other amounts required to be reimbursed to Agent, in its capacity as such, until paid in full;

 

Second, to Agent, for the benefit of Lender, the aggregate amount of all Obligations arising on account of payments made by Agent in accordance with Section 8.2, until repaid in full;

 

Third, to Lender, an amount equal to the aggregate costs, expenses, indemnities or other amounts then required to be reimbursed to Lender, until paid in full;

 

Fourth, to Lender, an amount equal to the aggregate fees, premiums or other similar such payments due to Lender in respect of the Loans, until paid in full;

 

Fifth, to Lender, an amount equal to the aggregate accrued and unpaid interest on the Loans and other Obligations then due, until paid in full;

 

Sixth, to Lender, an amount equal to the aggregate principal outstanding in respect of the Loans then due, until paid in full;

 

Seventh, to Agent and Lender, an amount equal to all other Obligations due and payable to Agent and Lender, until paid in full; and

 

 Last, the balance, if any, to Borrower or as otherwise required by applicable law.

 

17

 

8.6 Deficiency. If the Proceeds of any disposition of the Collateral are insufficient to cover all costs and expenses of such sale and the payment in full of all the Obligations, plus all other sums required to be expended or distributed by Agent or Lender, then Borrower shall be liable for any such deficiency.

 

8.7 Agent Transfer. Upon the transfer of all or any part of the Obligations, Agent may transfer all or part of the Collateral and shall be fully discharged thereafter from all liability and responsibility with respect to such Collateral so transferred, and the transferee shall be vested with all the rights and powers of Agent hereunder with respect to such Collateral so transferred, but with respect to any Collateral not so transferred, Agent shall retain all rights and powers hereby given.

 

8.8 Agent’s Duties.

 

(a) Agent shall use reasonable care in the custody and preservation of any Collateral in its possession. Without limitation on other conduct which may be considered the exercise of reasonable care, Agent shall be deemed to have exercised reasonable care in the custody and preservation of such Collateral if such Collateral is accorded treatment substantially equal to that which Agent accords its own property, it being understood that Agent shall not have any responsibility for ascertaining or taking action with respect to calls, conversions, exchanges, maturities, declining value, tenders or other matters relative to any Collateral, regardless of whether Agent has or is deemed to have knowledge of such matters; or taking any necessary steps to preserve any rights against any Person with respect to any Collateral. Under no circumstances shall Agent be responsible for any injury or loss to the Collateral, or any part thereof, arising from any cause beyond the reasonable control of Agent .

 

(b) Agent may at any time deliver the Collateral or any part thereof to Borrower and the receipt of Borrower shall be a complete and full acquittance for the Collateral so delivered, and Agent shall thereafter be discharged from any liability or responsibility therefor.

 

(c) Neither Agent, nor any of its directors, officers, employees, agents, attorneys or any other person affiliated with or representing Agent shall be liable for any claims, demands, losses or damages, of any kind whatsoever, made, claimed, incurred or suffered by Borrower or any other party through the ordinary negligence of Agent, or any of its directors, officers, employees, agents, attorneys or any other person affiliated with or representing Agent.

 

8.9 Termination of Security Interests and Loan Documents. Upon the payment in full of the Obligations (other than inchoate indemnity obligations) and satisfaction of all Borrower’s obligations under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents, and if Lender has no further obligations to make Loans in connection with their Commitments, the security interest granted hereby shall automatically terminate, all rights to the Collateral shall revert to Borrower and this Agreement and the other Loan Documents shall terminate; provided that (i) those obligations, liabilities, covenants and terms that are expressly specified herein and in any other Loan Document as surviving that respective agreement’s termination, including without limitation, Borrower’s indemnity obligations set forth in this Agreement, shall continue to survive notwithstanding anything to the contrary set forth herein, and (ii) nothing set forth herein shall affect or be deemed to affect those obligations, liabilities, covenants and terms set forth in any warrant instrument issued to a Lender or set forth in any other equity securities or convertible debt securities of Borrower acquired by Lender in connection with this Agreement. Upon any such termination, Agent shall return all Collateral in its possession or control to Borrower and, at Borrower’s expense, execute and deliver to Borrower such documents as Borrower shall reasonably request to evidence such termination.

 

ARTICLE 9 - GENERAL PROVISIONS

 

9.1 Notices. Any notice given by any party under any Loan Document shall be in writing and personally delivered, sent by overnight courier, or United States mail, postage prepaid, or sent by facsimile, electronic mail or other authenticated message, charges prepaid, to the other party’s or parties’ addresses shown on the Supplement. Each party may change the address or facsimile number to which notices, requests and other communications are to be sent by giving written notice of such change to each other party. Notice given by hand delivery shall be deemed received on the date delivered; if sent by overnight courier, on the next Business Day after delivery to the courier service; if by first class mail, on the third Business Day after deposit in the U.S. Mail; and if by facsimile, on the date of transmission.

 

18

 

9.2 Binding Effect. The Loan Documents shall be binding upon and inure to the benefit of Borrower, Lender, Agent and their respective successors and assigns; provided, however, that Borrower may not assign or transfer Borrower’s rights or obligations under any Loan Document. Lender reserves the right to sell, assign, transfer, negotiate or grant participations in all or any part of, or any interest in, Lender’s rights and obligations under the Loan Documents provided that, so long as no Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, Lender shall not assign any of such rights or obligations to any competitor of Borrower or to a Person determined by the Agent in its reasonable discretion to be acting in the capacity of a vulture fund or distressed debt purchaser without the consent of Borrower. In connection with any of the foregoing, Lender and Agent may disclose all documents and information which Lender and Agent now or hereafter may have relating to the Loans, Borrower, or its business, provided that any Person who receives such information shall have agreed in writing in advance to maintain the confidentiality of such information on terms no less favorable to Borrower than are set forth in Section 9.13 hereof.

 

9.3 No Waiver. Any waiver, consent or approval by Lender of any Event of Default or breach of any provision, condition, or covenant of any Loan Document must be in writing and shall be effective only to the extent set forth in writing. No waiver of any breach or default shall be deemed a waiver of any later breach or default of the same or any other provision of any Loan Document. No failure or delay on the part of Agent or Lender in exercising any power, right, or privilege under any Loan Document shall operate as a waiver thereof, and no single or partial exercise of any such power, right, or privilege shall preclude any further exercise thereof or the exercise of any other power, right or privilege. Lender has the right at its sole option to continue to accept interest and/or principal payments due under the Loan Documents after default, and such acceptance shall not constitute a waiver of said default or an extension of the maturity of any Loan unless Lender agrees otherwise in writing.

 

9.4 Rights Cumulative. All rights and remedies existing under the Loan Documents are cumulative to, and not exclusive of, any other rights or remedies available under contract or applicable law.

 

9.5 Unenforceable Provisions. Any provision of any Loan Document executed by Borrower which is prohibited or unenforceable in any jurisdiction, shall be so only as to such jurisdiction and only to the extent of such prohibition or unenforceability, but all the remaining provisions of any such Loan Document shall remain valid and enforceable.

 

9.6 Accounting Terms. Except as otherwise provided in this Agreement, accounting terms and financial covenants and information shall be determined and prepared in accordance with GAAP.

 

9.7 Indemnification; Exculpation.

This indemnification shall survive the payment and satisfaction of all of Borrower’s Obligations to Lender.

 

9.8 Reimbursement. Borrower shall reimburse Lender and Agent for all documented out-of-pocket costs and expenses, including without limitation reasonable and documented out-of-pocket attorneys’ fees and disbursements expended or incurred by Lender and Agent in any arbitration, mediation, judicial reference, legal action or otherwise in connection with (a) the preparation and negotiation of the Loan Documents, (b) the amendment and enforcement of the Loan Documents, including without limitation during any workout, attempted workout, and/or in connection with the rendering of legal advice as to Lender’s and Agent’s rights, remedies and obligations under the Loan Documents, (c) collecting any sum which becomes due to Lender under any Loan Document, (d) any proceeding for declaratory relief, any counterclaim to any proceeding, or any appeal, or (e) the protection, preservation or enforcement of any rights of Lender or Agent under the Loan Documents. For the purposes of this section, attorneys’ fees shall include, without limitation, fees incurred in connection with the following: (1) contempt proceedings; (2) discovery; (3) any motion, proceeding or other activity of any kind in connection with an Insolvency Proceeding; (4) garnishment, levy, and debtor and third party examinations; and (5) post-judgment motions and proceedings of any kind, including without limitation any activity taken to collect or enforce any judgment. All of the foregoing costs and expenses shall be payable promptly upon written demand (electronic mail being sufficient) by Lender or Agent, and if not paid within forty-five (45) days of presentation of invoices shall bear interest at the Default Rate.

 

19

 

9.9 Execution in Counterparts; Electronic Signatures. This Agreement and the other Loan Documents may be executed in any number of counterparts, each of which shall be deemed an original, but all of which together shall constitute one and the same agreement. This Agreement and each of the other Loan Documents may be executed by electronic signatures. Borrower, Lender and Agent expressly agree to conduct the transactions contemplated by this Agreement and the other Loan Documents by electronic means (including, without limitation, with respect to the execution, delivery, storage and transfer of this Agreement and each of the other Loan Documents by electronic means and to the enforceability of electronic Loan Documents). Delivery of an executed signature page to this Agreement and each of the other Loan Documents by facsimile or other electronic mail transmission (including pdf or any electronic signature complying with the U.S. federal ESIGN Act of 2000, e.g., www.docusign.com) shall be effective as delivery of a manually executed counterpart hereof and thereof, as applicable. The words “execution,” “signed,” “signature” and words of like import herein shall be deemed to include electronic signatures or the keeping of records in electronic form, each of which shall be of the same legal effect, validity and enforceability as a manually executed signature or the use of a paper-based recordkeeping systems, as the case may be, to the extent and as provided for in any applicable law, including, without limitation, any state law based on the Uniform Electronic Transactions Act.

 

9.10 Entire Agreement. The Loan Documents are intended by the parties as the final expression of their agreement and therefore contain the entire agreement between the parties and supersede all prior understandings or agreements concerning the subject matter hereof. This Agreement may be amended only in a writing signed by Borrower, Lender and Agent.

 

9.11 Governing Law and Jurisdiction.

 

(a) THIS AGREEMENT AND THE LOAN DOCUMENTS SHALL BE GOVERNED BY, AND CONSTRUED IN ACCORDANCE WITH, THE INTERNAL LAWS OF THE STATE OF CALIFORNIA.

 

(b) ANY LEGAL ACTION OR PROCEEDING WITH RESPECT TO THIS AGREEMENT OR ANY OTHER LOAN DOCUMENT MAY BE BROUGHT IN THE COURTS OF THE STATE OF CALIFORNIA OR OF THE UNITED STATES FOR THE NORTHERN DISTRICT OF CALIFORNIA, AND BY EXECUTION AND DELIVERY OF THIS AGREEMENT, EACH OF BORROWER, LENDER AND AGENT CONSENTS, FOR ITSELF AND IN RESPECT OF ITS PROPERTY, TO THE NON-EXCLUSIVE JURISDICTION OF THOSE COURTS. EACH OF BORROWER, LENDER AND AGENT IRREVOCABLY WAIVES ANY OBJECTION, INCLUDING ANY OBJECTION TO THE LAYING OF VENUE OR BASED ON THE GROUNDS OF FORUM NON CONVENIENS, WHICH IT MAY NOW OR HEREAFTER HAVE TO THE BRINGING OF ANY ACTION OR PROCEEDING IN SUCH JURISDICTION IN RESPECT OF THIS AGREEMENT OR ANY DOCUMENT RELATED HERETO. BORROWER, LENDER AND AGENT EACH WAIVE PERSONAL SERVICE OF ANY SUMMONS, COMPLAINT OR OTHER PROCESS, WHICH MAY BE MADE BY ANY OTHER MEANS PERMITTED BY CALIFORNIA LAW.

 

9.12 Waiver of Jury Trial. TO THE EXTENT NOT PROHIBITED BY APPLICABLE LAW, BORROWER, LENDER AND AGENT EACH WAIVES ITS RESPECTIVE RIGHTS TO A TRIAL BY JURY OF ANY CLAIM OR CAUSE OF ACTION BASED UPON OR ARISING OUT OF OR RELATED TO THIS AGREEMENT, THE OTHER LOAN DOCUMENTS, OR THE TRANSACTIONS CONTEMPLATED HEREBY OR THEREBY, IN ANY ACTION, PROCEEDING OR OTHER LITIGATION OF ANY TYPE BROUGHT BY ANY OF THE PARTIES AGAINST ANY OTHER PARTY OR ANY PARTICIPANT OR ASSIGNEE, WHETHER WITH RESPECT TO CONTRACT CLAIMS, TORT CLAIMS, OR OTHERWISE. BORROWER, LENDER AND AGENT EACH AGREES THAT ANY SUCH CLAIM OR CAUSE OF ACTION SHALL BE TRIED BY A COURT TRIAL WITHOUT A JURY. WITHOUT LIMITING THE FOREGOING, THE PARTIES FURTHER AGREE THAT THEIR RESPECTIVE RIGHT TO A TRIAL BY JURY IS WAIVED BY OPERATION OF THIS SECTION AS TO ANY ACTION, COUNTERCLAIM OR OTHER PROCEEDING WHICH SEEMS, IN WHOLE OR IN PART, TO CHALLENGE THE VALIDITY OR ENFORCEABILITY OF THIS AGREEMENT OR THE OTHER LOAN DOCUMENTS OR ANY PROVISION HEREOF OR THEREOF.

This Section 9.12 shall survive the termination of this Agreement.

 

20

 

9.13 Confidentiality. Each of Lender and Agent agrees to hold in confidence all confidential information that it receives from Borrower pursuant to the Loan Documents, except for disclosure as shall be reasonably required and, in each case, subject to the same confidentiality obligations set forth herein: (a) to legal counsel and accountants for Lender and Agent (to the extent such professional advisors are subject to the same obligations of confidentiality as set forth herein); (b) to other professional advisors to Lender and Agent; (c) to regulatory officials having jurisdiction over Lender and Agent to the extent required by law; (d) to Lender’s and Agent’s investors and prospective investors (to the extent that such investors or prospective investors are subject to the same confidentiality obligation set forth herein), and in Lender’s and Agent’s SEC filings as required by law; (e) as required by law or legal process or in connection with any legal proceeding to which Lender, Agent and Borrower are adverse parties; (f) in connection with a disposition or proposed disposition of any or all of Lender’s rights hereunder to any assignee or participant (to the extent that such transferee or proposed transferee is subject to the same confidentiality obligation set forth herein); (g) to Lender’s and Agent’s subsidiaries or Affiliates in connection with their business with Borrower (subject to the same confidentiality obligation set forth herein); (h) as required by valid order of a court of competent jurisdiction, administrative agency or governmental body, or by any applicable law, rule, regulation, subpoena, or any other administrative or legal process, or by applicable regulatory or professional standards, including in connection with any judicial or other proceeding involving Lender or Agent relating to this Agreement and the transactions contemplated hereby; and (i) as required in connection with Lender’s and Agent’s examination or audit.

Lender and Agent shall not use such information to purchase, sell, or otherwise arrange for the purchase or sale of shares of Borrower until such information has been approved for release by Borrower and is released to the general public.

The agreements in this Section shall survive the payment of each Loan and all other amounts payable hereunder. Agent shall not be liable for any action taken or not taken by it (i) with the consent or at the request of Lender or as Agent shall believe in good faith shall be necessary, under the circumstances or (ii) in the absence of its own gross negligence or willful misconduct.

 

21

 

10.3 Agent in Its Individual Capacity. The Person serving as the Agent hereunder shall have the same rights and powers in its capacity as a Lender as any other Lender and may exercise the same as though it were not the Agent and the term “Lender” shall, unless otherwise expressly indicated or unless the context otherwise requires, include each such Person serving as Agent hereunder in its individual capacity.

 

10.4 Exculpatory Provisions. The Agent shall have no duties or obligations except those expressly set forth herein and in the other Loan Documents. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the Agent shall not:

 

(a) be subject to any fiduciary or other implied duties, regardless of whether any default or any Event of Default has occurred and is continuing;

 

(b) have any duty to take any discretionary action or exercise any discretionary powers, except discretionary rights and powers expressly contemplated hereby or by the other Loan Documents that Agent is required to exercise as directed in writing by Lender, provided that the Agent shall not be required to take any action that, in its opinion or the opinion of its counsel, may expose the Agent to liability or that is contrary to any Loan Document or applicable law; and

10.8 Successor Agents. Agent may resign upon thirty (30) days’ written notice to the Lender and Borrower.

Notwithstanding the foregoing, Lender’s right to invest as set forth in this clause (c) shall automatically terminate on the Maturity Date (or such earlier date that the Commitments have terminated and the Obligations are repaid in full (other than inchoate indemnity obligations)). For the avoidance of doubt, such investment right shall not apply to (i) any future ATM Issuance, (ii) any placement of equity securities with a strategic partner/participant or charitable or educational institution and (iii) the use of securities for goods and services, including, without limitation, for legal, financial advisors and other consultants.

If this condition is not satisfied, the Sixty Thousand Dollars ($60,000.00) advance deposit previously paid by Borrower shall be refunded. Except as set forth in this Section 4, the Commitment Fee is not refundable.

EXHIBIT “A”

 

FORM OF PROMISSORY NOTE

 

[Note No. X-XXX]

 

$____________________ ________], 20__

 

Each of the undersigned (each individually, a “Borrower” and collectively, “Borrower”) promises to pay to the order of Avenue Venture Opportunities Fund II, L.P. (“Lender”), at such place as Lender may designate in writing, in lawful money of the United States of America, the principal sum of ______________________________ Dollars ($__________), with interest thereon from the date hereof until maturity, whether scheduled or accelerated, at a variable rate per annum equal to the sum of to the greater of (i) the sum of five percent (5.00%) plus the Prime Rate, and (ii) twelve and one-half percent (12.50%) (the “Designated Rate”), according to the payment schedule described herein, except as otherwise provided herein. In addition, on the Maturity Date, Borrower promises to pay to the order of Lender (i) all principal and accrued interest then remaining unpaid and (ii) the Final Payment (as defined in the Supplement to the Loan Agreement (as defined herein)).

 

This Note is one of the Notes referred to in, and is entitled to all the benefits of, a Loan and Security Agreement, dated as of August 4, 2025, among Borrower, Lender and Agent (as the same may be amended, restated or supplemented from time to time, the “Loan Agreement”). Each capitalized term not otherwise defined herein shall have the meaning set forth in the Loan Agreement. The Loan Agreement contains provisions for the acceleration of the maturity of this Note upon the happening of certain stated events.

 

Principal of and interest on this Note shall be payable as provided under Section 2 of Part 2 of the Supplement to the Loan Agreement.

 

This Note may be prepaid only as permitted under Section 2 of Part 2 of the Supplement to the Loan Agreement.

 

Any unpaid payments of principal or interest on this Note shall bear interest from their respective maturities, whether scheduled or accelerated, at a rate per annum equal to the Default Rate, compounded monthly. Borrower shall pay such interest on demand.

 

Interest, charges and fees shall be calculated for actual days elapsed on the basis of a 360-day year, which results in higher interest, charge or fee payments than if a 365-day year were used. In no event shall Borrower be obligated to pay interest, charges or fees at a rate in excess of the highest rate permitted by applicable law from time to time in effect.

 

If Borrower is late in making any scheduled payment under this Note by more than five (5) days, Borrower agrees to pay a “late charge” of five percent (5%) of the installment due, but not less than fifty dollars ($50) for any one such delinquent payment. This late charge may be charged by Lender for the purpose of defraying the expenses incidental to the handling of such delinquent amounts. Borrower acknowledges that such late charge represents a reasonable sum considering all of the circumstances existing on the date of this Note and represents a fair and reasonable estimate of the costs that will be sustained by Lender due to the failure of Borrower to make timely payments. Borrower further agrees that proof of actual damages would be costly and inconvenient. Such late charge shall be paid without prejudice to the right of Lender to collect any other amounts provided to be paid or to declare a default under this Note or any of the other Loan Documents or from exercising any other rights and remedies of Lender.

SUBSCRIPTION AGREEMENT

 

electroCore, Inc.

200 Forge Way, Suite 205

Rockaway, New Jersey 07866

 

Ladies and Gentlemen:

 

This Subscription Agreement (this “Subscription Agreement”) is being entered into as of the date set forth on the signature page hereto, between electroCore, Inc., a Delaware corporation (the “Company”), and Avenue Venture Opportunities Fund II, L.P. (“Avenue” or the “Investor”).

 

This Subscription Agreement is entered into in connection with that certain Loan and Security Agreement between the Company and the Investor, in its capacity as the Lender and the Agent (as such terms are defined in the LSA (as defined below)), dated as of even date herewith, as supplemented by the supplement (the “Supplement”) to the Loan and Security Agreement, between the Company and the Investor (collectively, the “LSA”).

 

In consideration of the foregoing, and the mutual representations, warranties and covenants, and subject to the conditions, set forth herein, and intending to be legally bound hereby, the Investor and the Company acknowledge and agree as follows:

 

1. Subscription. Investor hereby irrevocably subscribes to purchase from the Company in a private placement the number of shares of common stock, par value $0.001 per share (“Common Stock”), of the Company set forth on the signature page of this Subscription Agreement (the “Shares”) on the terms and subject to the conditions provided for herein. Investor acknowledges and agrees that the Company reserves the right to accept or reject the Investor’s subscription for the Shares for any reason or for no reason, in whole or in part, at any time prior to acceptance, and the same shall be deemed to be accepted by the Company only when this Subscription Agreement is signed by a duly authorized person by or on behalf of the Company.

 

2. Closing. The closing of the issuance of the Shares (the “Closing”) is contingent upon the substantially concurrent consummation of the transactions contemplated by the LSA (the “Transactions”), and accordingly, the Closing shall occur substantially concurrently with and conditioned upon the prior execution of the LSA and the effectiveness of the Transactions (such date, the “Closing Date”). On the Closing Date, the Company shall issue the number of Shares to Investor set forth on the signature page to this Subscription Agreement, and shall subsequently cause such Shares to be registered in book entry form in the name of Investor on the Company’s share register; provided, however, that the Company’s obligation to issue the Shares to Investor is contingent upon the Company having received the proceeds of Tranche 1 pursuant to the LSA and the Supplement.

 

3. Closing Conditions.

 

(a) The obligation of the parties hereto to consummate the issuance of the Shares pursuant to this Subscription Agreement is subject to the following conditions:

 

(i) the execution of the LSA and the Supplement;

 

(ii) no applicable governmental authority shall have enacted, issued, promulgated, enforced or entered any judgment, order, law, rule or regulation (whether temporary, preliminary or permanent) which is then in effect and has the effect of making consummation of the transactions contemplated hereby illegal or otherwise restraining or prohibiting consummation of the transactions contemplated hereby; and

 

(iii) all conditions precedent to the closing of the Transactions shall have been satisfied or waived (as determined by the parties thereto and other than those conditions which, by their nature, are to be fulfilled at the closing of the Transaction, including to the extent that any such condition is dependent upon the consummation of the issuance of the Shares pursuant to this Subscription Agreement).

 

 

 

(b) The obligation of the Company to consummate the issuance and sale of the Shares pursuant to this Subscription Agreement shall be subject to the condition that all representations and warranties of Investor contained in this Subscription Agreement are true and correct in all material respects (other than representations and warranties that are qualified as to materiality or Material Adverse Effect, which representations and warranties shall be true in all respects) at and as of the Closing Date, and consummation of the Closing shall constitute a reaffirmation by Investor of each of the representations and warranties of Investor contained in this Subscription Agreement as of the Closing Date.

 

(c) The obligation of Investor to consummate the purchase of the Shares pursuant to this Subscription Agreement shall be subject to the condition that all representations and warranties of the Company contained in this Subscription Agreement shall be true and correct in all material respects (other than representations and warranties that are qualified as to materiality or Material Adverse Effect (as defined herein), which representations and warranties shall be true in all respects) at and as of the Closing Date, and consummation of the Closing shall constitute a reaffirmation by the Company of each of the representations and warranties of the Company contained in this Subscription Agreement as of the Closing Date.

 

4. Further Assurances. The parties hereto shall execute and deliver such additional documents and take such additional actions as the parties reasonably may deem to be reasonably practical and necessary in order to consummate the subscription as contemplated by this Subscription Agreement.

 

5. Company Representations and Warranties. The Company represents and warrants to Investor that:

 

(a) The Company is a corporation duly incorporated, validly existing and in good standing under the laws of the State of Delaware. The Company has all corporate power and authority to own, lease and operate its properties and conduct its business as presently conducted and to enter into, deliver and perform its obligations under this Subscription Agreement.

 

(b) As of the Closing Date, the Shares will be duly authorized and, when issued and delivered to Investor in accordance with the terms of this Subscription Agreement and the LSA, the Shares will be validly issued, fully paid and non-assessable and will not have been issued in violation of or subject to any preemptive or similar rights created under the Company’s certificate of incorporation (as amended to the Closing Date) or under the General Corporation Law of the State of Delaware.

 

(c) This Subscription Agreement has been duly authorized, executed and delivered by the Company and, assuming that this Subscription Agreement constitutes the valid and binding agreement of Investor, this Subscription Agreement is enforceable against the Company in accordance with its terms, except as may be limited or otherwise affected by (i) bankruptcy, insolvency, fraudulent conveyance, reorganization, moratorium or other laws relating to or affecting the rights of creditors generally, or (ii) principles of equity, whether considered at law or equity.

 

(d) The issuance and sale of the Shares and the compliance by the Company with all of the provisions of this Subscription Agreement and the consummation of the transactions contemplated herein will not conflict with or result in a breach or violation of any of the terms or provisions of, or constitute a default under, or result in the creation or imposition of any lien, charge or encumbrance upon any of the property or assets of the Company pursuant to the terms of (i) any indenture, mortgage, deed of trust, loan agreement, lease, license or other agreement or instrument to which the Company is a party or by which the Company is bound or to which any of the property or assets of the Company is subject that would reasonably be expected to have a material adverse effect on the business, financial condition or results of operations of the Company, taken as a whole (a “Material Adverse Effect”) or materially affect the validity of the Shares or the legal authority of the Company to comply in all material respects with the terms of this Subscription Agreement; (ii) result in any violation of the provisions of the organizational documents of the Company; or (iii) result in any violation of any statute or any judgment, order, rule or regulation of any court or governmental agency or body, domestic or foreign, having jurisdiction over the Company or any of their properties that would reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect or materially affect the validity of the Shares or the legal authority of the Company to comply in all material respects with this Subscription Agreement.

6. Investor Representations and Warranties. Investor represents and warrants to the Company that:

 

(a) Investor (i) is a “qualified institutional buyer” (as defined in Rule 144A under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”)) or an institutional “accredited investor” (within the meaning of Rule 501(a) under the Securities Act), in each case, satisfying the applicable requirements set forth on Schedule A, (ii) is acquiring the Shares only for its own account and not for the account of others, or if the Investor is subscribing for the Shares as a fiduciary or agent for one or more investor accounts, each owner of each such account is independently a “qualified institutional buyer”, the Investor has full investment discretion with respect to each such account, and the full power and authority to make the acknowledgements, representations and agreements herein on behalf of each owner of each such account, and (iii) is not acquiring the Shares with a view to, or for offer or sale in connection with, any distribution thereof in violation of the Securities Act or the securities law of any other jurisdiction (and shall provide the requested information set forth on Schedule A). Investor is not an entity formed for the specific purpose of acquiring the Shares and is an “institutional account” as defined by FINRA Rule 4512(c).

 

(b) Investor acknowledges and agrees that the Shares are being offered in a transaction not involving any public offering within the meaning of the Securities Act and that the Shares have not been registered under the Securities Act. Investor acknowledges and agrees that the Shares may not be offered, resold, transferred, pledged or otherwise disposed of by Investor absent an effective registration statement under the Securities Act except (i) to the Company or a subsidiary thereof, (ii) to non-U.S. persons pursuant to offers and sales that occur outside the United States within the meaning of Regulation S under the Securities Act or (iii) pursuant to another applicable exemption from the registration requirements of the Securities Act, and in each case in accordance with any applicable securities laws of the states of the United States and other applicable jurisdictions, and that any certificates or book entry records representing the Shares shall contain a restrictive legend to such effect. Investor acknowledges and agrees that the Shares will be subject to the foregoing securities law transfer restrictions and, as a result of these transfer restrictions, Investor may not be able to readily offer, resell, transfer, pledge or otherwise dispose of the Shares and may be required to bear the financial risk of an investment in the Shares for an indefinite period of time. Investor acknowledges and agrees that the Shares will not immediately be eligible for offer, resale, transfer, pledge or disposition pursuant to Rule 144 promulgated under the Securities Act until at least six months from the Closing Date. Investor acknowledges and agrees that it has been advised to consult legal, tax and accounting advisors prior to making any offer, resale, transfer, pledge or disposition of any of the Shares.

 

(c) Investor acknowledges that there have been no representations, warranties, covenants and agreements made to Investor by or on behalf of the Company, any of its affiliates or any control persons, officers, directors, employees, partners, agents or representatives of any of the foregoing or any other person or entity, expressly or by implication, other than those representations, warranties, covenants and agreements of the Company expressly set forth in Section 5 of this Subscription Agreement.

 

(d) Investor’s acquisition and holding of the Shares will not constitute or result in a non-exempt prohibited transaction under Section 406 of the Employee Retirement Income Security Act of 1974, as amended, Section 4975 of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended, or any applicable similar law.

 

(e) Investor acknowledges and agrees that Investor has received such information as Investor deems necessary in order to make an investment decision with respect to the Shares, including, without limitation, with respect to the Company, the business of the Company, and its subsidiaries. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, Investor acknowledges that it has reviewed the Company’s filings with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”). Investor acknowledges and agrees that Investor and Investor’s legal, accounting, regulatory, tax and other professional advisor(s), have had the full opportunity to ask such questions, receive such answers and obtain such information as Investor and such Investor’s professional advisor(s), have deemed necessary to make an investment decision with respect to the Shares. In making its decision to purchase the Shares, the Investor represents that it has sought and relied solely upon the independent investigation made by the Investor, the Investor’s own sources of information, investment analysis and due diligence (including professional advice the Investor deems appropriate) with respect to the Shares and the business, condition (financial and otherwise), management, operations, properties and prospects of the Company and including but not limited to all business, legal, regulatory, accounting, credit, tax and other economic matters. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the Investor has not relied on any statements or other information provided by or on behalf of anyone, other than the representations and warranties contained in this Subscription Agreement in making its decision to invest in the Company.

(f) Investor became aware of this offering of the Shares solely by means of direct contact between Investor and the Company or a representative of the Company, and the Shares were offered to Investor solely by direct contact between Investor and the Company or a representative of the Company. The Investor did not become aware of this offering of the Shares, nor were the Shares offered to the Investor, by any other means. Investor acknowledges that the Shares (i) were not offered, and are not being purchased, as a result of any advertisement, article, notice or other communication regarding the Shares published in any newspaper, magazine or similar media or broadcast over television or radio or presented at any seminar or, any other general solicitation or general advertisement, and (ii) are not being offered in a manner involving a public offering under, or in a distribution in violation of, the Securities Act, or any state securities laws. Investor acknowledges that it is not relying upon, and has not relied upon, any statement, representation or warranty made by any person, firm or corporation (including without limitation, the Company, any of its affiliates or any control persons, officers, directors, employees, partners, agents or representatives of any of the foregoing), other than the representations and warranties of the Company contained in Section 5 of this Subscription Agreement, in making its investment or decision to invest in the Company.

 

(g) Investor acknowledges that it is aware that there are substantial risks incident to the purchase and ownership of the Shares, including those set forth in the Company’s filings with the SEC. Investor has such knowledge and experience in financial and business matters as to be capable of evaluating the merits and risks of an investment in the Shares, and Investor has sought such accounting, legal and tax advice as Investor has considered necessary to make an informed investment decision and the Investor has made its own assessment and has satisfied itself concerning relevant tax or other economic considerations relative to its purchase of the Shares. The Investor acknowledges that Investor shall be responsible for any of the Investor’s tax liabilities that may arise as a result of the transactions contemplated by this Subscription Agreement, and that the Company has not provided any tax advice or any other representation or guarantee regarding the tax consequences of the transactions contemplated by the Subscription Agreement. Investor is able to sustain a complete loss on its investment in the Shares, has no need for liquidity with respect to its investment in the Shares and has no reason to anticipate any change in circumstances, financial or otherwise, which may cause or require any sale or distribution of all or any part of the Shares.

 

(h) The Investor is acting independently and not in concert with any other person or entity in connection with its investment in the Company, and is not part of a group (as defined in Section 13(d) of the Exchange Act) with respect to the Company’s securities.

 

(i) Alone, or together with any professional advisor(s), Investor has adequately analyzed and fully considered the risks of an investment in the Shares and determined that the Shares are a suitable investment for Investor and that Investor is able at this time and in the foreseeable future to bear the economic risk of a total loss of Investor’s investment in the Company. Investor acknowledges specifically that a possibility of total loss exists.

 

(j) Investor acknowledges that no federal or state agency has passed upon or endorsed the merits of the offering of the Shares or made any findings or determination as to the fairness of this investment.

 

(k) Investor has been duly formed or incorporated and is validly existing and is in good standing under the laws of its jurisdiction of formation or incorporation, with power and authority to enter into, deliver and perform its obligations under this Subscription Agreement.

 

(l) The execution, delivery and performance by Investor of this Subscription Agreement are within the powers of Investor, have been duly authorized and will not constitute or result in a breach or default under or conflict with any order, ruling or regulation of any court or other tribunal or of any governmental commission or agency, or any agreement or other undertaking, to which Investor is a party or by which Investor is bound, and will not violate any provisions of Investor’s organizational documents, including, without limitation, its incorporation or formation papers, bylaws, indenture of trust or partnership or operating agreement, as may be applicable. The signature of the Investor on this Subscription Agreement is genuine, and the signatory has legal competence and capacity to execute the same or the signatory has been duly authorized to execute the same, and, this Subscription Agreement has been duly executed and delivered by the Investor and, assuming that this Subscription Agreement constitutes the valid and binding agreement of the Company, this Subscription Agreement constitutes a legal, valid and binding obligation of Investor, enforceable against Investor in accordance with its terms except as may be limited or otherwise affected by (i) bankruptcy, insolvency, fraudulent conveyance, reorganization, moratorium or other laws relating to or affecting the rights of creditors generally, and (ii) principles of equity, whether considered at law or equity.

(m) Investor is not (i) a person or entity named on the List of Specially Designated Nationals and Blocked Persons administered by the U.S. Treasury Department’s Office of Foreign Assets Control (“OFAC”) or in any Executive Order issued by the President of the United States and administered by OFAC (“OFAC List”), or a person or entity prohibited by any OFAC sanctions program, (ii) a Designated National as defined in the Cuban Assets Control Regulations, 31 C.F.R. Part 515, or (iii) a non-U.S. shell bank or providing banking services indirectly to a non-U.S. shell bank (each, a “Prohibited Investor”). Investor agrees to provide law enforcement agencies, if requested thereby, such records as required by applicable law, provided that Investor is permitted to do so under applicable law. If Investor is a financial institution subject to the Bank Secrecy Act (31 U.S.C. Section 5311 et seq.) (the “BSA”), as amended by the USA PATRIOT Act of 2001 (the “PATRIOT Act”), and its implementing regulations (collectively, the “BSA/PATRIOT Act”), Investor maintains policies and procedures reasonably designed to comply with applicable obligations under the BSA/PATRIOT Act. To the extent required, it maintains policies and procedures reasonably designed for the screening of its investors against the OFAC sanctions programs, including the OFAC List. To the extent required by applicable law, Investor maintains policies and procedures reasonably designed to ensure that the funds held by Investor and used to purchase the Shares were legally derived and were not obtained, directly or indirectly, from a Prohibited Investor.

 

(n) No foreign person (as defined in 31 C.F.R. Part 800.224) in which the national or subnational governments of a single foreign state have a substantial interest (as defined in 31 C.F.R. Part 800.244) will acquire a substantial interest in the Company as a result of the purchase and sale of Shares hereunder such that a declaration to the Committee on Foreign Investment in the United States would be mandatory under 31 C.F.R. Part 800.401, and no foreign person will have control (as defined in 31 C.F.R. Part 800.208) over the Company from and after the Closing as a result of the purchase and sale of Shares hereunder.

 

(o) Investor has not taken any of the actions set forth in, and is not subject to, the disqualification provisions of Rule 506(d)(1) of the Securities Act. Neither Investor nor any of its Rule 506(d) Related Parties is a “bad actor” within the meaning of Rule 506(d) of the Securities Act. For purposes of this Subscription Agreement, a “Rule 506(d) Related Party” shall mean a person or entity covered by the “Bad Actor disqualification” provision of Rule 506(d) of the Securities Act.

 

(p) In connection with the issue and purchase of the Shares, no person, firm or corporation has acted as Investor’s financial advisor or fiduciary.

 

7. Legend.

 

(a) The Shares may only be disposed of in compliance with state and federal securities laws. In connection with any transfer of Shares other than pursuant to a registration statement effective under the Securities Act with a current prospectus or Rule 144, or to the Company, the Company may require the transferor thereof to provide to the Company an opinion of counsel at the expense of the transferor, selected by the transferor and reasonably acceptable to the Company, the form and substance of which opinion shall be reasonably satisfactory to the Company and its counsel, to the effect that such transfer does not require registration of such transferred Shares under the Securities Act.

 

5

 

(b) Investor agrees, so long as is required by this Section 7, book entry notations evidencing the Shares shall bear a restrictive legend, substantially in the following form:

 

THE SECURITIES REPRESENTED HEREBY HAVE NOT BEEN REGISTERED UNDER THE U.S. SECURITIES ACT OF 1933, AS AMENDED (THE “ACT”) AND ARE “RESTRICTED SECURITIES” AS DEFINED IN RULE 144 PROMULGATED UNDER THE ACT. THE SECURITIES MAY NOT BE OFFERED, SOLD, PLEDGED, OR OTHERWISE DISTRIBUTED OR TRANSFERRED EXCEPT (i) PURSUANT TO AN EFFECTIVE REGISTRATION STATEMENT UNDER THE ACT OR (ii) PURSUANT TO AN EXEMPTION FROM REGISTRATION UNDER THE ACT, AND, IN THE CASE OF A TRANSACTION EXEMPT FROM REGISTRATION, UNLESS THE COMPANY AND TRANSFER AGENT HAVE RECEIVED AN OPINION OF COUNSEL REASONABLY SATISFACTORY TO EACH OF THEM THAT SUCH TRANSACTION DOES NOT REQUIRE REGISTRATION UNDER THE ACT.

 

8. Registration Rights. Within 60 days from the Closing Date, the Company will prepare and file with the SEC a registration statement on Form S-3 or, if the Company is not then eligible to register for resale securities on Form S-3, on another appropriate form of registration statement (the “Resale Registration Statement”), covering the resale of all of the Conversion Right Common Stock, as such term is defined in the Supplement, and the Shares for a secondary offering to be made on a continuous basis pursuant to Rule 415(a)(1)(i) under the Securities Act. The Company will use commercially reasonable efforts to cause the Resale Registration Statement to be declared effective under the Securities Act as promptly as reasonably possible after the filing thereof, and will use its commercially reasonable efforts to keep the Resale Registration Statement continuously effective under the Securities Act, until the earliest of (i) the fourth anniversary of the Closing Date, (ii) the date on which Investor ceases to hold any Conversion Right Common Stock or Shares, or (iii) the first date on which Investor is able to sell all of such Conversion Right Common Stock and Shares under Rule 144 within 90 days without limitation as to the amount of such securities that may be sold by such Investor. The Investor agrees to disclose its ownership to the Company upon request to assist it in making the determination described above. Investor acknowledges and agrees that the Company may suspend the use of the Resale Registration Statement if it determines that the Resale Registration Statement and related prospectus contain a material misstatement or omission. The Investor agrees to furnish and provide to the Company such information reasonably requested by the Company in connection with the preparation of the Resale Registration Statement and related prospectus and any amendments or supplements thereto, and understands that such information will be relied upon by the Company and its counsel in connection with the preparation or amendment of the Resale Registration Statement and the related prospectus and any amendments or supplements thereto. The Company covenants that, as of the effective date of the Resale Registration Statement, as of the date of any prospectus or prospectus supplement forming a part thereof, and as of the date of any sale of Conversion Common Stock and Shares pursuant thereto, the Resale Registration Statement (including any amendments or supplements thereto and prospectuses contained therein) shall not contain any untrue statement of a material fact or omit to state a material fact required to be stated therein, or necessary to make the statements therein, in light of the circumstances in which they were made (in the case of any prospectus or prospectus supplement, in the light of the circumstances under which they were made), not misleading. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Company makes no covenant or agreement with respect to any statements or omissions made in reliance upon and in conformity with information relating to Investor furnished in writing to the Company by or on behalf of the Investor for use in the Resale Registration Statement, any related prospectus, or any amendment or supplement thereto. The Company shall have no liability for any untrue statement or alleged untrue statement of a material fact or omission or alleged omission to state a material fact in the Resale Registration Statement or any related prospectus or any amendment or supplement thereto to the extent that such statement or omission was made in reliance upon and in conformity with written information furnished to the Company by or on behalf of any Investor.

 

9. Termination. This Subscription Agreement shall terminate and be void and of no further force and effect, and all rights and obligations of the parties hereunder shall terminate without any further liability on the part of any party in respect thereof, if any of the conditions to Closing set forth in Section 3 of this Subscription Agreement are (i) not satisfied or waived prior to the Closing (and if the failure to so satisfy such condition is capable of being cured prior to the Closing, such failure shall not have been cured by the 30th calendar day following receipt of written notice from the party claiming such condition has not been satisfied) or (ii) not capable of being satisfied on the Closing and, in each case of (i) and (ii), as a result thereof, the transactions contemplated by this Subscription Agreement will not be and are not consummated at the Closing (collectively, the “Termination Events”); provided that nothing herein will relieve any party from liability for any willful breach hereof prior to the time of termination, and each party will be entitled to any remedies at law or in equity to recover losses, liabilities or damages arising from any such willful breach. Upon the occurrence of any Termination Event, this Subscription Agreement shall be void and of no further effect.

10. Miscellaneous.

 

(a) Neither this Subscription Agreement nor any rights that may accrue to Investor hereunder (other than the Shares acquired hereunder, if any) may be transferred or assigned without the express written consent of the Company, and any purported transfer or assignment without such consent should be void ab initio.

 

(b) The Company may request from Investor such additional information as the Company may deem necessary to evaluate the eligibility of Investor to acquire the Shares, and the Investor shall provide such information as may reasonably be requested. Investor acknowledges that the Company may file a copy of this Subscription Agreement, as well as the LSA, with the SEC as an exhibit to a periodic report or a registration statement of the Company.

 

(c) Investor acknowledges that the Company and others will rely on the acknowledgments, understandings, agreements, representations and warranties contained in this Subscription Agreement. Prior to the Closing, Investor agrees to promptly notify the Company if any of the acknowledgments, understandings, agreements, representations and warranties set forth in Section 6 above are no longer accurate. Investor acknowledges and agrees that each purchase by Investor of Shares from the Company and each exercise of its right to receive Conversion Right Common Stock pursuant to the LSA will constitute a reaffirmation of the acknowledgments, understandings, agreements, representations and warranties herein (as modified by any such notice) by Investor as of the time of such purchase or exercise.

 

(d) The Company is entitled to rely upon this Subscription Agreement and is irrevocably authorized to produce this Subscription Agreement or a copy hereof to any interested party in any administrative or legal proceeding or official inquiry with respect to the matters covered hereby.

 

(e) All of the agreements, representations and warranties made by each party hereto in this Subscription Agreement shall survive the Closing.

 

(f) This Subscription Agreement may not be modified, waived or terminated (other than pursuant to the terms of Section 8 above) except by an instrument in writing, signed by each of the parties hereto. No failure or delay of either party in exercising any right or remedy hereunder shall operate as a waiver thereof, nor shall any single or partial exercise of any such right or power, or any abandonment or discontinuance of steps to enforce such right or power, or any course of conduct, preclude any other or further exercise thereof or the exercise of any other right or power. The rights and remedies of the parties hereunder are cumulative and are not exclusive of any rights or remedies that they would otherwise have hereunder.

 

(g) This Subscription Agreement (including the schedule hereto) constitutes the entire agreement, and supersedes all other prior agreements, understandings, representations and warranties, both written and oral, among the parties, with respect to the subject matter hereof. Except as set forth in Section 8, Section 10(c), Section 10(d), Section 10(f), this Section 10(g), the last sentence of Section 10(k) and Section 11 with respect to the persons specifically referenced therein, this Subscription Agreement shall not confer any rights or remedies upon any person other than the parties hereto, and their respective successor and assigns, and the parties hereto acknowledge that such persons so referenced are third party beneficiaries of this Subscription Agreement for the purposes of, and to the extent of, the rights granted to them, if any, pursuant to the applicable provisions.

 

(h) Except as otherwise provided herein, this Subscription Agreement shall be binding upon, and inure to the benefit of the parties hereto and their heirs, executors, administrators, successors, legal representatives, and permitted assigns, and the agreements, representations, warranties, covenants and acknowledgments contained herein shall be deemed to be made by, and be binding upon, such heirs, executors, administrators, successors, legal representatives and permitted assigns.

(i) If any provision of this Subscription Agreement shall be adjudicated by a court of competent jurisdiction to be invalid, illegal or unenforceable, the validity, legality or enforceability of the remaining provisions of this Subscription Agreement shall not in any way be affected or impaired thereby and shall continue in full force and effect.

 

(j) This Subscription Agreement may be executed in one or more counterparts (including by facsimile or electronic mail or in.pdf) and by different parties in separate counterparts, with the same effect as if all parties hereto had signed the same document. All counterparts so executed and delivered shall be construed together and shall constitute one and the same agreement.

 

(k) The parties hereto acknowledge and agree that irreparable damage would occur in the event that any of the provisions of this Subscription Agreement were not performed in accordance with their specific terms or were otherwise breached. It is accordingly agreed that the parties shall be entitled to an injunction or injunctions to prevent breaches of this Subscription Agreement, without posting a bond or undertaking and without proof of damages, to enforce specifically the terms and provisions of this Subscription Agreement, this being in addition to any other remedy to which such party is entitled at law, in equity, in contract, in tort or otherwise.

 

(l) This Subscription Agreement shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of the State of Delaware (regardless of the laws that might otherwise govern under applicable principles of conflicts of laws thereof) as to all matters (including any action, suit, litigation, arbitration, mediation, claim, charge, complaint, inquiry, proceeding, hearing, audit, investigation or reviews by or before any governmental entity related hereto), including matters of validity, construction, effect, performance and remedies.

 

(m) Any action, suit or proceeding between or among the parties hereto, whether arising in contract, tort or otherwise, arising in connection with any disagreement, dispute, controversy or claim arising out of or relating to this Subscription Agreement or any related document or any of the transactions contemplated hereby or thereby (“Legal Dispute”) shall be brought only to the exclusive jurisdiction of the courts of the State of Delaware or the federal courts located in the State of Delaware, and each party hereto hereby consents to the jurisdiction of such courts (and of the appropriate appellate courts therefrom) in any such suit, action or proceeding and irrevocably waives, to the fullest extent permitted by law, any objection that it may now or hereafter have to the laying of the venue of any such suit, action or proceeding in any such court or that any such suit, action or proceeding that is brought in any such court has been brought in an inconvenient forum. During the period a Legal Dispute that is filed in accordance with this Section 10(m) is pending before a court, all actions, suits or proceedings with respect to such Legal Dispute or any other Legal Dispute, including any counterclaim, cross-claim or interpleader, shall be subject to the exclusive jurisdiction of such court. A final judgment in any action, suit or proceeding described in this Section 10(m) following the expiration of any period permitted for appeal and subject to any stay during appeal shall be conclusive and may be enforced in other jurisdictions by suit on the judgment or in any other manner provided by applicable laws. EACH OF THE PARTIES HERETO IRREVOCABLY AND UNCONDITIONALLY WAIVES ANY RIGHT TO TRIAL BY JURY ON ANY CLAIMS OR COUNTERCLAIMS ASSERTED IN ANY LEGAL DISPUTE RELATING TO THIS SUBSCRIPTION AGREEMENT OR THE TRANSACTIONS CONTEMPLATED HEREBY AND FOR ANY COUNTERCLAIM RELATING THERETO. IF THE SUBJECT MATTER OF ANY SUCH LEGAL DISPUTE IS ONE IN WHICH THE WAIVER OF JURY TRIAL IS PROHIBITED, NO PARTY HERETO NOR ANY PERSON ASSERTING RIGHTS AS A THIRD PARTY BENEFICIARY SHALL ASSERT IN SUCH LEGAL DISPUTE A NONCOMPULSORY COUNTERCLAIM ARISING OUT OF OR RELATING TO THIS SUBSCRIPTION AGREEMENT OR THE TRANSACTIONS CONTEMPLATED HEREBY. FURTHERMORE, NO PARTY HERETO NOR ANY PERSON ASSERTING RIGHTS AS A THIRD PARTY BENEFICIARY SHALL SEEK TO CONSOLIDATE ANY SUCH LEGAL DISPUTE WITH A SEPARATE ACTION OR OTHER LEGAL PROCEEDING IN WHICH A JURY TRIAL CANNOT BE WAIVED.

 

11. Non-Reliance and Exculpation. Investor acknowledges that it is not relying upon, and has not relied upon, any statement, representation or warranty made by any person, firm or corporation, other than the statements, representations and warranties of the Company expressly contained in Section 5 of this Subscription Agreement, in making its investment or decision to invest in the Company. Investor acknowledges and agrees that none of (i) any other investor pursuant to this Subscription Agreement or any other subscription agreement related to the private placement of the Shares (including the investor’s respective affiliates or any control persons, officers, directors, employees, partners, agents or representatives of any of the foregoing), or (ii) any Non-Party Affiliate, shall have any liability to the Investor, or to any other investor, pursuant to, arising out of or relating to this Subscription Agreement or any other subscription agreement related to the private placement of the Shares, the negotiation hereof or thereof or its subject matter, or the transactions contemplated hereby or thereby, including, without limitation, with respect to any action heretofore or hereafter taken or omitted to be taken by any of them in connection with the purchase of the Shares or with respect to any claim (whether in tort, contract or otherwise) for breach of this Subscription Agreement or in respect of any written or oral representations made or alleged to be made in connection herewith, as expressly provided herein, or for any actual or alleged inaccuracies, misstatements or omissions with respect to any information or materials of any kind furnished by the Company or any Non-Party Affiliate concerning the Company, any of its controlled affiliates, this Subscription Agreement or the transactions contemplated hereby. For purposes of this Subscription Agreement, “Non-Party Affiliates” means each former, current or future officer, director, employee, partner, member, manager, direct or indirect equityholder or affiliate of the Company or any of the Company’s controlled affiliates or any family member of the foregoing.
