Streeterville Capital Note
As previously disclosed in the Current Report on Form 8-K filed on July 3, 2025, on June 26, 2025, the Company entered into a note purchase agreement (the “Purchase Agreement”) with Streeterville Capital, LLC (“Lender”) pursuant to which the Company issued and sold to the Lender a secured promissory note in the original principal amount of $5,470,000 (the “Note”). The Note carries an original issue discount of $450,000 and the Company agreed to pay $20,000 to the Lender to cover its legal fees, accounting costs, due diligence, monitoring and other transaction costs, each of which were deducted from the proceeds of the Note received by the Company. On the Closing Date Lender paid $375,000.00 to the Company and $4,625,000.00 was sent to an account at Lakeside Bank owned by the Company’s newly formed wholly-owned subsidiary, ARH Sub, LLC, a Utah limited liability company (“ARH Sub”), to be held pursuant to the Deposit Account Control Agreement (“DACA”).
On September 10, 2025, the Company entered into a global amendment (the “Amendment”) to the Purchase Agreement and Note, in order to release $2,000,000 of the funds held in the DACA, which was utilized to repay the Bank of America loan (described below).
Under the terms of the Amendment, Streeterville agreed to release the $2,000,000 of the DACA held funds for the express purposes of repaying the Bank of American loan. The Company agreed to pay Streeterville a funds release fee of $1,000,000, which was added to the Note increasing the current balance due to $6,580,485.83. Payoff on the Bank of America loan was $1,860,955.45 and the remaining $139,044.55 was released to the Company.
In connection with the Amendment, the Company also entered into an exchange agreement dated as of September 10, 2025 (the “Exchange Agreement”) with Streeterville, whereby Streeterville agreed to partition a portion of the Note into a new secured promissory note in the principal amount of $1,300,0000 (the “Partitioned Note”), which reduced the outstanding balance on the Note by such amount. The Company and Streeterville further exchanged the Partitioned Note for (a) a seven-year $1,300,000 secured convertible promissory note (the “Exchange Note”), and (b) a two-year warrant to purchase 225,000 shares of the Company’s Series D Convertible Preferred Stock at $7.50 per share (the “Warrant”).
The Company also agreed to cause each of its champion safe subsidiaries (Champion Safe Company, Inc., Superior Safe Co., LLC, Safe Guard Security Products, LLC, and Champion Safe de Mexico, S.A. de C.V.) to enter into a guaranty (the “Guaranty”) and a security agreement (the “Security Agreement”) with Streeterville. In addition, the Company agreed to pledge its equity interests in the champion safe subsidiaries pursuant to a pledge agreement (the “Pledge”).
Interest under the Exchange Note accrues at a rate of 12% per annum. The unpaid amount of the Note, any interest, fees, charges and late fees are due seven years following the date of issuance. The Company may prepay all or any portion of the outstanding balance of the Note, including outstanding principal and any applicable make-whole interest (as defined in the Exchange Note), upon ten trading days’ notice to Streeterville. The Exchange Note is secured by the Guaranty, Security Agreement and Pledge.
|
|
Streeterville may exercise the Warrant in cash or by reducing the outstanding amount due under the Exchange Note.
Streeterville has the right at any time until the outstanding balance of the Exchange Note has been paid in full, at its election, to convert all or any portion of the outstanding balance of the Exchange Note into fully paid and non-assessable the Company’s shares of common stock as per the following conversion formula: the amount of the outstanding balance being converted plus the applicable amount of make-whole interest being converted divided by the conversion price of $0.80. Conversions shall be cashless and not require further payment from Streeterville.
Streeterville has the right at any time until the outstanding balance of the Exchange Note has been paid in full, at its election, to convert all or any portion of the outstanding balance of the Exchange Note into fully paid and non-assessable the Company’s shares of the Company’s Series D Convertible Preferred Stock as per the following conversion formula: the amount of the outstanding balance being converted divided by the preferred conversion price of $7.50. All Preferred Conversions shall be through the payment of cash or reduction of the outstanding balance under the Exchange Note.
If at any time the daily VWAP of the Company’s common stock is sixty-six percent (66%) or less than $0.80, then Streeterville will have the right to demand that the Company repay the Exchange Note in cash in three (3) equal monthly payments, with the first payment being due two (2) trading days following a demand from Streeterville.
At any time following the occurrence of a Major Trigger Event or Minor Trigger Event (each as defined in the Note), the Lender may, upon prior written notice to the Company, increase the outstanding balance of the Note by 10% for each occurrence of any Major Trigger Event and 5% for each occurrence of any Minor Trigger Event (the “Trigger Effect”), provided that the Trigger Effect may only be applied three times with respect to Major Trigger Events and three times with respect to Minor Trigger Events and the Trigger Effect does not apply to any default by the Company or any failure by the Company to observe or perform any covenant, obligation, condition or agreement of the Company under the Note or the other transaction documents in any material respect that is not specifically set forth in the Note or the Purchase Agreement. In no event will the application of the Trigger Effect exceed thirty percent (30%) in the aggregate.
Subject to certain exceptions described below, if the Company fails to cure a Trigger Event within five trading days following the date of transmission of a written demand notice by the Lender, the Trigger Event will automatically become an Event of Default (as defined in the Note), provided that the Company will only have a five trading day cure period with respect to Trigger Events resulting from the Company’s failure to pay any principal, interest, fees, charges, or any other amount when due and payable under the Note. Following the occurrence of any Event of Default, the Lender may, upon written notice to the Company, (i) accelerate the Exchange Note, with the outstanding balance of the Exchange Note following application of the Trigger Effect (the “Mandatory Default Amount”) becoming immediately due and payable in cash, and (ii) cause interest on the outstanding balance of the Exchange Note beginning on the date the applicable Event of Default occurred to accrue at an interest rate equal to the lesser of 18% per annum or the maximum rate permitted under applicable law. Notwithstanding the foregoing, upon the occurrence of certain Trigger Events related to bankruptcy or insolvency, immediately and without notice, an Event of Default will be deemed to have occurred and the outstanding balance of the Exchange Note as of the date of the occurrence of such Bankruptcy-Related Trigger Event will become immediately and automatically due and payable in cash at the Mandatory Default Amount.

The Company agreed to pay Carter, Terry & Company, Inc. a fee of $160,000 in connection with the transactions set forth above, based upon the $2,000,000 released from the DACA.

Bank of America Loan
As previously reported on the Form 8-K dated August 15, 2025, Champion Safe Company, Inc., failed to make the final payment of all amounts owed under the Bank of America credit agreement on July 31, 2025 required by a certain forbearance agreement by and among Champion, certain guarantors and Bank of America, N.A. under the line of credit, dated as of February 10, 2023. Concurrent with the Closing of the Amendment and Exchange Note with Streeterville discussed above, Bank of America was repaid all amounts owed under the line of credit. Bank of America is in process of filing a dismissal of the lawsuit and a UCC-3 termination and release of all collateral under the line of credit. This matter is now fully resolved, with no outstanding obligations remaining.

THIS NOTE (AS DEFINED BELOW) IS ISSUED IN EXCHANGE FOR (WITHOUT ANY ADDITIONAL CONSIDERATION) THAT CERTAIN SECURED PROMISSORY NOTE IN THE ORIGINAL PRINCIPAL AMOUNT OF $1,300,000.00 HAVING AN ORIGINAL ISSUE DATE OF JUNE 26, 2025. FOR PURPOSES OF RULE 144 OF THE SECURITIES EXCHANGE ACT OF 1933, AS AMENDED, THIS NOTE SHALL BE DEEMED TO HAVE BEEN ISSUED ON JUNE 26, 2025.
SECURED CONVERTIBLE PROMISSORY NOTE
| September 10, 2025 | U.S. $1,310,000.00 |
FOR VALUE RECEIVED, American Rebel Holdings, Inc., a Nevada corporation (“Borrower”), promises to pay to Streeterville Capital, LLC, a Utah limited liability company, or its successors or assigns (“Lender”), $1,310,000.00 and any interest, fees, charges, and late fees accrued hereunder on the date that is seven (7) years from the Exchange Date (as defined below) (the “Maturity Date”) in accordance with the terms set forth herein. Borrower agrees to pay interest on the outstanding balance of this Secured Convertible Promissory Note (this “Note”) at the rate of twelve percent (12%) per annum. All interest calculations hereunder shall be computed on the basis of a 360-day year comprised of twelve (12) thirty (30) day months, shall compound daily and shall be payable in accordance with the terms of this Note. This Note is issued and made effective as of September 10, 2025 (the “Exchange Date”), pursuant to that certain Exchange Agreement dated September 10, 2025 (the “Exchange Agreement”). Certain capitalized terms used herein are defined in Attachment 1 attached hereto and incorporated herein by this reference.
Borrower agrees to pay $10,000.00 to Lender to cover Lender’s legal fees, accounting costs, due diligence, monitoring and other transaction costs incurred in connection with the purchase and sale of this Note (the “Transaction Expense Amount”). The Transaction Expense Amount is included in the initial principal balance of this Note and is deemed to be fully earned and non-refundable as of the Exchange Date. Borrower and Lender agree that the terms and provisions of the Purchase Agreement (as defined in the Exchange Agreement) and the other Transaction Documents (as defined in the Purchase Agreement) or Exchange Documents (as defined in the Exchange Agreement) shall be deemed to apply in all respects to this Note.
1. Payments; Warrant Exercise.
1.1. Payment. All payments owing hereunder shall be in lawful money of the United States of America and delivered to Lender at the address or bank account furnished to Borrower for that purpose. All payments shall be applied first to (a) costs of collection, if any, then to (b) fees and charges, if any, then to (c) accrued and unpaid interest, and thereafter, to (d) principal.
1.2. Prepayment. Notwithstanding the foregoing, with ten (10) Trading Days’ prior written notice, Borrower may prepay all or any portion of the Outstanding Balance (less such portion of the Outstanding Balance for which Borrower has received a Conversion Notice (as defined below) from Lender where the applicable Conversion Shares (as defined below) have not yet been delivered). For the avoidance of doubt, during the ten (10) Trading Day prepayment notice period Lender shall retain the right to submit Conversion Notices, if applicable. If Borrower exercises its right to prepay this Note, Borrower shall make payment to Lender of an amount in cash equal to the portion of the Outstanding Balance Borrower elects to prepay plus the applicable amount of Make-Whole Interest. Borrower will lose the right to prepay this Note if: (a) an Event of Default (as defined below) occurs hereunder; or (b) Borrower elects to prepay this Note and fails to do so on the date set forth in the prepayment notice sent to Lender.
1.3. Warrant Exercise. In the event this Note in cancelled in connection with a notice of exercise under the Warrant (as defined in the Exchange Agreement), the Outstanding Balance used to calculate the amount of the exercise will include only interest actually accrued as of the date of the exercise under the Warrant and will not include any Make-Whole Interest.
2. Security. This Note is secured by the following: (a) the Security Agreement (as defined in the Exchange Agreement); and (b) the Pledge Agreement (as defined in the Exchange Agreement). This Note is also guaranteed by the Guaranty (as defined in the Exchange Agreement).
3. Conversions.
3.1. Common Stock Conversions. Lender has the right at any time beginning on the Exchange Date until the Outstanding Balance has been paid in full, at its election, to convert (each instance of conversion is referred to herein as a “Conversion”) all or any portion of the Outstanding Balance into fully paid and non-assessable Common Shares (“Conversion Shares”) as per the following conversion formula: the number of Conversion Shares equals the amount of the Outstanding Balance plus the applicable amount of Make-Whole Interest being converted (the “Conversion Amount”) divided by the Conversion Price. Conversion notices in the form attached hereto as Exhibit A (each, a “Conversion Notice”) may be effectively delivered to Borrower by any method set forth in the “Notices” section of the Purchase Agreement, and all Conversions shall be cashless and not require further payment from Lender. Borrower shall deliver the Conversion Shares from any Conversion to Lender in accordance with Section 8 below.
3.2. Preferred Stock Conversions. Lender has the right at any time beginning on the Exchange Date until the Outstanding Balance has been paid in full, at its election, to convert (each instance of conversion is referred to herein as a “Preferred Conversion”) all or any portion of the Outstanding Balance into fully paid and non-assessable shares of Company’s Series D Convertible Preferred Stock (“Preferred Conversion Shares”) as per the following conversion formula: the number of Preferred Conversion Shares equals the amount of the Outstanding Balance being converted (the “Conversion Amount”) divided by the Preferred Conversion Price. Conversion notices in the form attached hereto as Exhibit B (each, a “Preferred Conversion Notice”) may be effectively delivered to Borrower by any method set forth in the “Notices” section of the Purchase Agreement, and all Preferred Conversions shall be cashless and not require further payment from Lender. Borrower shall issue the Preferred Conversion Shares from any Preferred Conversion to Lender within two (2) Trading Days of receipt of a Preferred Conversion Notice.
4. Amortization Event. If at any time following the Exchange Date, the daily VWAP is sixty-six percent (66%) or less than the Conversion Price, then Lender will have the right to demand that Borrower repay this Note in cash in three (3) equal monthly payments, with the first payment being due two (2) Trading Days following a demand from Lender.

5. Trigger Events; Defaults; and Remedies.
5.1. Trigger Events. The following are trigger events under this Note (each, a “Trigger Event”): (a) Borrower fails to pay any principal, interest, fees, charges, or any other amount when due and payable hereunder; (b) a receiver, trustee or other similar official shall be appointed over Borrower or a material part of its assets and such appointment shall remain uncontested for twenty (20) days or shall not be dismissed or discharged within sixty (60) days; (c) Borrower becomes insolvent or generally fails to pay, or admits in writing its inability to pay, its debts as they become due; (d) Borrower makes a general assignment for the benefit of creditors; (e) Borrower files a petition for relief under any bankruptcy, insolvency or similar law (domestic or foreign); (f) an involuntary bankruptcy proceeding is commenced or filed against Borrower; (g) Borrower fails to timely establish and maintain the Share Reserve (as defined in the Exchange Agreement); (h) Borrower fails to observe or perform any covenant set forth in Section 4 of the Purchase Agreement or Section 8 of the Exchange Agreement; (i) the occurrence of a Fundamental Transaction without Lender’s prior written consent; (j) Borrower fails to deliver any Conversion Shares in accordance with the terms hereof; (k) Borrower or any or guarantor of this Note defaults or otherwise fails to observe or perform any covenant, obligation, condition or agreement of Borrower or such guarantor contained herein or in any other Transaction Document or Exchange Document, other than those specifically set forth in this Section 5.1 and Section 4 of the Purchase Agreement or Section 8 of the Exchange Agreement; (l) any representation, warranty or other statement made or furnished by or on behalf of Borrower or any pledgor, trustor, or guarantor of this Note to Lender herein, in any Transaction Document, or otherwise in connection with the issuance of this Note is false, incorrect, incomplete or misleading in any material respect when made or furnished; (m) Borrower effectuates a reverse split, ratio change or other similar event with respect to its Common Shares without ten (10) Trading Days prior written notice to Lender; (n) any money judgment, writ or similar process is entered or filed against Borrower or any subsidiary of Borrower or any of its property or other assets for more than $100,000.00, and shall remain unvacated, unbonded or unstayed for a period of twenty (20) calendar days unless otherwise consented to by Lender; (o) Borrower fails to be DWAC Eligible; (p) a non-management support preliminary proxy is filed against Borrower; or (q) Borrower, any subsidiary of Borrower, or any guarantor of this Note breaches any covenant or other term or condition contained in any Other Agreements.
5.2. Trigger Event Remedies. At any time following the occurrence of any Trigger Event, Lender may, at its option, increase the Outstanding Balance by applying the Trigger Effect (subject to the limitation set forth below).
5.3. Defaults. At any time following the occurrence of a Trigger Event, Lender may, at its option, send written notice to Borrower demanding that Borrower cure the Trigger Event within five (5) Trading Days. If Borrower fails to cure the Trigger Event within the required five (5) Trading Day cure period, the Trigger Event will automatically become an event of default hereunder (each, an “Event of Default”).
5.4. Default Remedies. At any time and from time to time following the occurrence of any Event of Default, Lender may accelerate this Note by written notice to Borrower, with the Outstanding Balance becoming immediately due and payable in cash at the Mandatory Default Amount. Notwithstanding the foregoing, upon the occurrence of any Trigger Event described in clauses (b) – (f) of Section 5.1, an Event of Default will be deemed to have occurred and the Outstanding Balance as of the date of the occurrence of such Trigger Event shall become immediately and automatically due and payable in cash at the Mandatory Default Amount, without any written notice required by Lender for the Trigger Event to become an Event of Default. At any time following the occurrence of any Event of Default, upon written notice given by Lender to Borrower, interest shall accrue on the Outstanding Balance beginning on the date the applicable Event of Default occurred at an interest rate equal to the lesser of eighteen percent (18%) per annum simple interest or the maximum rate permitted under applicable law (“Default Interest”). For the avoidance of doubt, Lender may continue making Conversions at any time following a Trigger Event or Event of Default until such time as the Outstanding Balance is paid in full. In connection with acceleration described herein, Lender need not provide, and Borrower hereby waives, any presentment, demand, protest or other notice of any kind, and Lender may immediately and without expiration of any grace period enforce any and all of its rights and remedies hereunder and all other remedies available to it under applicable law. Such acceleration may be rescinded and annulled by Lender at any time prior to payment hereunder and Lender shall have all rights as a holder of the Note until such time, if any, as Lender receives full payment of this Note. No such rescission or annulment shall affect any subsequent Trigger Event or Event of Default or impair any right consequent thereon. Nothing herein shall limit Lender’s right to pursue any other remedies available to it at law or in equity including, without limitation, a decree of specific performance and/or injunctive relief with respect to Borrower’s failure to timely deliver Conversion Shares upon Conversion of the Note as required pursuant to the terms hereof.
| |
6. Unconditional Obligation; No Offset. Borrower acknowledges that this Note is an unconditional, valid, binding and enforceable obligation of Borrower not subject to offset, deduction or counterclaim of any kind. Borrower hereby waives any rights of offset it now has or may have hereafter against Lender, its successors and assigns, and agrees to make the payments or Conversions called for herein in accordance with the terms of this Note.
7. Waiver. No waiver of any provision of this Note shall be effective unless it is in the form of a writing signed by the party granting the waiver. No waiver of any provision or consent to any prohibited action shall constitute a waiver of any other provision or consent to any other prohibited action, whether or not similar. No waiver or consent shall constitute a continuing waiver or consent or commit a party to provide a waiver or consent in the future except to the extent specifically set forth in writing.
8. Method of Conversion Share Delivery. On or before the close of business on the second (2nd) Trading Day following the date of delivery of a Conversion Notice (the “Delivery Date”), Borrower shall deliver or cause its transfer agent to issue and deliver the applicable Conversion Shares electronically via DWAC to the account designated by Lender in the applicable Conversion Notice.
9. Conversion Delays. If Borrower fails to deliver Conversion Shares by the applicable Delivery Date, Lender may at any time prior to receiving such Conversion Shares rescind in whole or in part the Conversion, with a corresponding increase to the Outstanding Balance (any returned amount will tack back to the Purchase Price Date for purposes of determining the holding period under Rule 144). In addition, for each Conversion, in the event that Conversion Shares are not delivered by the Delivery Date, a late fee equal to 2% of the applicable Conversion Share Value rounded to the nearest multiple of $100.00 but with a floor of $500.00 per day (but in any event the cumulative amount of such late fees for each Conversion shall not exceed 200% of the applicable Conversion Share Value) will be assessed for each day after the Delivery Date until Conversion Share delivery is made; and such late fees will be added to the Outstanding Balance (such fees, the “Conversion Delay Late Fees”).
10. Exchange Cap. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, Borrower shall not issue any Common Shares pursuant to this Note if such issuance (together with any other issuances of Common Shares pursuant to the Note, Warrant or any other Transaction Document or Exchange Document) would result in the aggregate issuance by Borrower of more than 19.99% of Borrower’s outstanding Common Shares as of the Exchange Date (the “Exchange Cap”), unless Borrower obtains the prior approval of its stockholders in accordance with applicable law and the rules of the principal securities exchange or market on which the Common Shares then listed or traded for issuances in excess of the Exchange Cap. In the event the Exchange Cap is reached and Borrower’s has not received the applicable stockholder approval, Borrower would be required to honor any Conversion Notices in cash.
11. Ownership Limitation. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Note or the other Transaction Documents or Exchange Documents, Borrower shall not effect any Conversion of this Note to the extent that after giving effect to such Conversion would cause Lender (together with its affiliates) to beneficially own a number of shares exceeding 9.99% of the number of Common Shares outstanding on such date (including for such purpose the Common Shares issuable upon such issuance) (the “Maximum Percentage”). For purposes of this section, beneficial ownership of Common Shares will be determined pursuant to Section 13(d) of the 1934 Act. The foregoing Maximum Percentage is enforceable, unconditional and non-waivable and shall apply to all affiliates and assigns of Lender.
| |
12. Opinion of Counsel. In the event that an opinion of counsel is needed for any Conversion under this Note, Lender has the right to have any such opinion provided by its counsel.
13. Governing Law; Venue. This Note shall be construed and enforced in accordance with, and all questions concerning the construction, validity, interpretation and performance of this Note shall be governed by, the internal laws of the State of Utah, without giving effect to any choice of law or conflict of law provision or rule (whether of the State of Utah or any other jurisdiction) that would cause the application of the laws of any jurisdiction other than the State of Utah. The provisions set forth in the Purchase Agreement to determine the proper venue for any disputes are incorporated herein by this reference.
14. Arbitration of Disputes. By its issuance or acceptance of this Note, each party agrees to be bound by the Arbitration Provisions (as defined in the Purchase Agreement) set forth as an exhibit to the Purchase Agreement.
15. Cancellation. After repayment or conversion of the entire Outstanding Balance, this Note shall be deemed paid in full, shall automatically be deemed canceled, and shall not be reissued.
16. Amendments. The prior written consent of both parties hereto shall be required for any change or amendment to this Note.
17. Assignments. Borrower may not assign this Note without the prior written consent of Lender. This Note and any Conversion Shares issued upon conversion of this Note may be offered, sold, assigned or transferred by Lender without the consent of Borrower, so long as such transfer is in accordance with applicable federal and state securities laws.
18. Notices. Whenever notice is required to be given under this Note, unless otherwise provided herein, such notice shall be given in accordance with the subsection of the Purchase Agreement titled “Notices.”
19. Liquidated Damages. Lender and Borrower agree that in the event Borrower fails to comply with any of the terms or provisions of this Note, Lender’s damages would be uncertain and difficult (if not impossible) to accurately estimate because of the parties’ inability to predict future interest rates, future share prices, future trading volumes and other relevant factors. Accordingly, Lender and Borrower agree that any fees, balance adjustments, Default Interest or other charges assessed under this Note are not penalties but instead are intended by the parties to be, and shall be deemed, liquidated damages (under Lender’s and Borrower’s expectations that any such liquidated damages will tack back to the Purchase Price Date for purposes of determining the holding period under Rule 144). Therefore, no additional penalty claims, lost profits or liquidated damages shall be claimed in excess of agreed liquidated damage amounts under this Note.
20. Severability. If any part of this Note is construed to be in violation of any law, such part shall be modified to achieve the objective of Borrower and Lender to the fullest extent permitted by law and the balance of this Note shall remain in full force and effect.

THIS WARRANT AND THE PREFERRED STOCK ISSUABLE HEREUNDER MAY NOT BE SOLD, OFFERED FOR SALE, PLEDGED OR HYPOTHECATED IN THE ABSENCE OF AN EFFECTIVE REGISTRATION STATEMENT AS TO THIS WARRANT OR ANY SHARES ISSUABLE HEREUNDER UNDER SUCH ACT AND ANY APPLICABLE STATE SECURITIES LAW OR AN OPINION OF COUNSEL REASONABLY SATISFACTORY TO AMERICAN REBEL HOLDINGS, INC. OR ITS TRANSFER AGENT THAT SUCH REGISTRATION IS NOT REQUIRED.
AMERICAN REBEL HOLDINGS, INC.
WARRANT TO PURCHASE SHARES OF SERIES D CONVERTIBLE PREFERRED STOCK
1. Issuance. For good and valuable consideration as set forth in the Exchange Agreement (as defined below), the receipt and sufficiency of which are hereby acknowledged by American Rebel Holdings, Inc., a Nevada corporation (“Company”); Streeterville Capital, LLC, a Utah limited liability company, its successors and/or registered assigns (“Investor”), is hereby granted the right to purchase at any time on or after September 10, 2025 (the “Issue Date”) until the date which is the last calendar day of the month in which the two (2) year anniversary of the Issue Date occurs (the “Expiration Date”), 225,000 fully paid and non-assessable shares (the “Warrant Shares”) of Company’s Series D Convertible Preferred Stock (the “Series D Stock”), as such number may be adjusted from time to time pursuant to the terms and conditions of this Warrant to Purchase Shares of Series D Convertible Preferred Stock (this “Warrant”).
This Warrant is being issued pursuant to the terms of that certain Exchange Agreement dated September 10, 2025, to which Company and Investor are parties (as the same may be amended from time to time, the “Exchange Agreement”). Certain capitalized terms used herein are defined in Attachment 1 attached hereto and incorporated herein by this reference. Moreover, to the extent any defined terms used herein are defined in any other Transaction Document (as defined in the Purchase Agreement (as defined in the Exchange Agreement) or Exchange Document, such defined term shall remain applicable in this Warrant even if the other Transaction Document or Exchange Document has been released, satisfied, or is otherwise cancelled. This Warrant was issued to Investor on the Issue Date.
2. Exercise of Warrant.
2.1. General.
(a) This Warrant is exercisable in whole or in part at any time and from time to time commencing on the Issue Date and ending on the Expiration Date. Such exercise shall be effectuated by submitting to Company (either by delivery to Company or by email or facsimile transmission) a completed and signed Notice of Exercise substantially in the form attached to this Warrant as Exhibit A (the “Notice of Exercise”). The date a Notice of Exercise is emailed or delivered to Company shall be the “Exercise Date”. The Notice of Exercise shall be executed by Investor and shall indicate the number of Warrant Shares to be issued pursuant to such exercise.
(b) The Exercise Price per share of Series D Stock for the Warrant Shares shall be payable, at the election of Investor, in cash or by certified or official bank check or by wire transfer in accordance with instructions provided by Company at the request of Investor. The Exercise Price may also be paid at Investor’s election by cancellation of indebtedness owed pursuant to the Exchange Note (as defined in the Exchange Agreement).
|
|
(c) Upon the appropriate payment to Company of the Exercise Price for the Warrant Shares, Company shall promptly, but in no case later than the date that is two (2) Trading Days following the date the Exercise Price is paid to Company (the “Delivery Date”), deliver or cause Company’s Transfer Agent to deliver the applicable Warrant Shares electronically via book entry issuance.
(d) If Warrant Shares are delivered later than as required under subsection (c) immediately above, Investor will have the right until the Warrant Shares are issued and delivered to Investor to cancel the applicable Notice of Exercise with the applicable payment for the Exercise Price being returned to Investor or cancellation of indebtedness being automatically rescinded.
(e) Investor shall be deemed to be the holder of the Warrant Shares issuable to it in accordance with the provisions of this Section 2.1 on the Exercise Date.
2.2. Ownership Limitation. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Warrant or the other Transaction Documents or Exchange Documents, if at any time Investor shall or would be issued shares of Series D Stock, but such issuance would cause Investor (together with its affiliates) to own a number of shares of Common Stock exceeding 9.99% of the number of shares of Common Stock outstanding on such date (the “Maximum Percentage”) (assuming full conversion of such Series D Stock into Common Stock), Company must not issue to Investor shares of Series D Stock which would exceed the Maximum Percentage (based on the applicable conversion price). The foregoing Maximum Percentage is enforceable, unconditional and non-waivable and shall apply to all affiliates and assigns of Investor.
3. Mutilation or Loss of Warrant. Upon receipt by Company of evidence satisfactory to it of the loss, theft, destruction or mutilation of this Warrant, and (in the case of loss, theft or destruction) receipt of reasonably satisfactory indemnification, and (in the case of mutilation) upon surrender and cancellation of this Warrant, Company will execute and deliver to Investor a new Warrant of like tenor and date and any such lost, stolen, destroyed or mutilated Warrant shall thereupon become void.
4. Rights of Investor. Investor shall not, by virtue of this Warrant alone, be entitled to any rights of a stockholder in Company, either at law or in equity, and the rights of Investor with respect to or arising under this Warrant are limited to those expressed in this Warrant and are not enforceable against Company except to the extent set forth herein.
5. Protection Against Dilution and Other Adjustments.
5.1. Capital Adjustments. If Company shall at any time prior to the expiration of this Warrant subdivide the Common Stock, by split-up or stock split, or otherwise, or combine its Common Stock, or issue additional shares of its Common Stock as a dividend, and the number of Warrant Shares is affected by such action, the number of Warrant Shares issuable upon the exercise of this Warrant shall forthwith be automatically increased proportionately in the case of a subdivision, split or stock dividend, or proportionately decreased in the case of a combination. Appropriate adjustments shall also be made to the Exercise Price and other applicable amounts, but the aggregate purchase price payable for the total number of Warrant Shares purchasable under this Warrant (as adjusted) shall remain the same. Any adjustment under this Section 5.1 shall become effective automatically at the close of business on the date the subdivision or combination becomes effective, or as of the record date of such dividend, or in the event that no record date is fixed, upon the making of such dividend.
|
|
5.2. Reclassification, Reorganization and Consolidation. In case of any reclassification, capital reorganization, or change in the capital stock of Company (other than as a result of a subdivision, combination, or stock dividend provided for in Section 5.1 above), then Company shall make appropriate provision so that Investor shall have the right at any time prior to the expiration of this Warrant to purchase, at a total price equal to that payable upon the exercise of this Warrant, the kind and amount of shares of stock and other securities and property receivable in connection with such reclassification, reorganization, or change by a holder of the same number of shares of Common Stock as were purchasable by Investor immediately prior to such reclassification, reorganization, or change. In any such case appropriate provisions shall be made with respect to the rights and interest of Investor so that the provisions hereof shall thereafter be applicable with respect to any shares of stock or other securities and property deliverable upon exercise hereof, and appropriate adjustments shall be made to the purchase price per Warrant Share payable hereunder, provided the aggregate purchase price shall remain the same.
6. Certificate as to Adjustments. In each case of any adjustment or readjustment in the number or kind of shares issuable on the exercise of this Warrant, or in the Exercise Price, pursuant to the terms hereof, Company at its expense will promptly cause its Chief Financial Officer or other appropriate designee to compute such adjustment or readjustment in accordance with the terms of this Warrant and prepare a certificate setting forth such adjustment or readjustment and showing in detail the facts upon which such adjustment or readjustment is based, including a statement of (a) the consideration received or receivable by Company for any additional shares of Common Stock issued or sold or deemed to have been issued or sold, (b) the number of shares of Common Stock outstanding or deemed to be outstanding, and (c) the Exercise Price and the number of shares of Series D Stock to be received upon exercise of this Warrant, in effect immediately prior to such adjustment or readjustment and as adjusted or readjusted as provided in this Warrant. Nothing in this Section 6 shall be deemed to limit any other provision contained herein.
7. Transfer to Comply with the Securities Act. This Warrant and the Warrant Shares have not been registered under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “1933 Act”). Neither this Warrant nor the Warrant Shares nor any shares of Common Stock issuable upon conversion of the Warrant Shares may be sold, transferred, pledged or hypothecated without (a) an effective registration statement under the 1933 Act relating to such security or (b) an opinion of counsel reasonably satisfactory to Company that registration is not required under the 1933 Act; provided, however, that the foregoing restrictions on transfer shall not apply to the transfer of the Warrant to an affiliate of Investor. Until such time as registration has occurred under the 1933 Act, each certificate for this Warrant and any Warrant Shares and any shares of Common Stock issuable upon conversion of the Warrant Shares shall contain a legend, in form and substance satisfactory to counsel for Company, setting forth the restrictions on transfer contained in this Section 7; provided, however, that Company acknowledges and agrees that any such legend shall be removed from all certificates for DTC Eligible Common Stock delivered hereunder as such Common Stock is cleared and converted into electronic shares by the DTC, and nothing contained herein shall be interpreted to the contrary. Upon receipt of a duly executed assignment of this Warrant, Company shall register the transferee thereon as the new holder on the books and records of Company and such transferee shall be deemed a “registered holder” or “registered assign” for all purposes hereunder, and shall have all the rights of Investor under this Warrant. Until this Warrant is transferred on the books of Company, Company may treat Investor as the absolute owner hereof for all purposes, notwithstanding any notice to the contrary.
8. Notices. Any notice required or permitted hereunder shall be given in the manner provided in the subsection titled “Notices” in the Purchase Agreement, the terms of which are incorporated herein by reference.
|
|
9. Supplements and Amendments; Whole Agreement. This Warrant may be amended or supplemented only by an instrument in writing signed by the parties hereto. This Warrant, together with the Exchange Agreement and the other Exchange Documents, contains the full understanding of the parties hereto with respect to the subject matter hereof and thereof and there are no representations, warranties, agreements or understandings with respect to the subject matter hereof and thereof other than as expressly contained herein and therein.
10. Purchase Agreement; Arbitration of Disputes; Calculation Disputes. This Warrant is also subject to the terms, conditions and general provisions of the Purchase Agreement, including without limitation the Arbitration Provisions (as defined in the Purchase Agreement) set forth as an exhibit to the Purchase Agreement. In addition, notwithstanding the Arbitration Provisions, in the case of a dispute as to any Calculation (as defined in the Purchase Agreement), such dispute will be resolved in the manner set forth in the Purchase Agreement.
11. Governing Law; Venue. This Warrant shall be construed and enforced in accordance with, and all questions concerning the construction, validity, interpretation and performance of this Warrant shall be governed by, the internal laws of the State of Utah, without giving effect to any choice of law or conflict of law provision or rule (whether of the State of Utah or any other jurisdiction) that would cause the application of the laws of any jurisdiction other than the State of Utah. The provisions set forth in the Purchase Agreement to determine the proper venue for any disputes are incorporated herein by this reference.
12. Waiver of Jury Trial. COMPANY IRREVOCABLY WAIVES ANY AND ALL RIGHTS IT MAY HAVE TO DEMAND THAT ANY ACTION, PROCEEDING OR COUNTERCLAIM ARISING OUT OF OR IN ANY WAY RELATED TO THIS WARRANT OR THE RELATIONSHIPS OF THE PARTIES HERETO BE TRIED BY JURY. THIS WAIVER EXTENDS TO ANY AND ALL RIGHTS TO DEMAND A TRIAL BY JURY ARISING UNDER COMMON LAW OR ANY APPLICABLE STATUTE, LAW, RULE OR REGULATION. FURTHER, COMPANY ACKNOWLEDGES THAT IT IS KNOWINGLY AND VOLUNTARILY WAIVING ITS RIGHT TO DEMAND TRIAL BY JURY.
13. Remedies. The remedies at law of Investor under this Warrant in the event of any default or threatened default by Company in the performance of or compliance with any of the terms of this Warrant may not be adequate and, without limiting any other remedies available to Investor in the Transaction Documents, at law or equity, to the fullest extent permitted by law, such terms may be specifically enforced by a decree for the specific performance of any agreement contained herein or by an injunction against a violation of any of the terms hereof or otherwise without the obligation to post a bond.
14. Liquidated Damages. Company and Investor agree that in the event Company fails to comply with any of the terms or provisions of this Warrant, Investor’s damages would be uncertain and difficult (if not impossible) to accurately estimate because of the parties’ inability to predict future interest rates, future share prices, future trading volumes and other relevant factors. Accordingly, Investor and Company agree that any fees or other charges assessed under this Warrant are not penalties but instead are intended by the parties to be, and shall be deemed, liquidated damages (under Investor’s and Company’s expectations that any such liquidated damages will tack back to the Issue Date for purposes of determining the holding period under Rule 144 under the 1933 Act, if applicable).
15. Counterparts. This Warrant may be executed in any number of counterparts and each of such counterparts shall for all purposes be deemed to be an original, and all such counterparts shall together constitute but one and the same instrument. Signatures delivered via facsimile or email shall be considered original signatures for all purposes hereof.
|
|
16. Attorneys’ Fees. In the event of any arbitration, litigation or dispute arising from this Warrant, the parties agree that the unsuccessful party to such action agrees to pay to the prevailing party all costs and expenses, including reasonable attorneys’ fees incurred therein, including the same with respect to an appeal. The “prevailing party” shall be the party in whose favor a judgment is entered, regardless of whether judgment is entered on all claims asserted by such party and regardless of the amount of the judgment; or where, due to the assertion of counterclaims, judgments are entered in favor of and against both parties, then the arbitrator shall determine the “prevailing party” by taking into account the relative dollar amounts of the judgments or, if the judgments involve nonmonetary relief, the relative importance and value of such relief. Nothing herein shall restrict or impair an arbitrator’s or a court’s power to award fees and expenses for frivolous or bad faith pleading.
17. Severability. Whenever possible, each provision of this Warrant shall be interpreted in such a manner as to be effective and valid under applicable law, but if any provision of this Warrant shall be invalid or unenforceable in any jurisdiction, such provision shall be modified to achieve the objective of the parties to the fullest extent permitted and such invalidity or unenforceability shall not affect the validity or enforceability of the remainder of this Warrant or the validity or enforceability of this Warrant in any other jurisdiction.
18. Time is of the Essence. Time is expressly made of the essence with respect to each and every provision of this Warrant.
19. Descriptive Headings. Descriptive headings of the sections of this Warrant are inserted for convenience only and shall not control or affect the meaning or construction of any of the provisions hereof.

|
|
6. Borrower’s Representations, Warranties and Agreements. In order to induce Lender to enter into this Agreement, Borrower, for itself, and for its affiliates, successors and assigns, hereby acknowledges, represents, warrants and agrees as follows: (a) Borrower has full power and authority to enter into this Agreement and to incur and perform all obligations and covenants contained herein, all of which have been duly authorized by all proper and necessary action, (b) no consent, approval, filing or registration with or notice to any governmental authority is required as a condition to the validity of this Agreement or the performance of any of the obligations of Borrower hereunder, (c) except as specifically set forth herein, nothing herein shall in any manner release, lessen, modify or otherwise affect Borrower’s obligations under the Exchange Note, (d) the issuance of the Exchange Note is duly authorized by all necessary corporate action and the Common Shares issuable thereunder will be validly issued, fully paid and non-assessable, free and clear of all taxes, liens, claims, pledges, mortgages, restrictions, obligations, security interests and encumbrances of any kind, nature and description, (e) Borrower has not received any consideration in any form whatsoever for entering into this Agreement, other than the surrender of the Partitioned Note, and (f) Borrower has taken no action which would give rise to any claim by any person for a brokerage commission, placement agent or finder’s fee or other similar payment by Borrower related to this Agreement.
7. Reservation of Shares. On the date hereof, Borrower will reserve 7,875,000 Common Shares from its authorized and unissued Common Shares to provide for all issuances of Common Shares under the Exchange Note and conversions of Warrant Shares or Preferred Conversion Shares (as defined in the Note) into Common Shares (the “Share Reserve”). Borrower shall further require the transfer agent to hold the Common Shares reserved pursuant to the Share Reserve exclusively for the benefit of Investor and to issue such shares to Investor promptly upon Investor’s delivery of a conversion notice under the Exchange Note or a conversion notice for the Warrant Shares or the Preferred Conversion Shares. Finally, Borrower shall require the Transfer Agent to issue Common Shares pursuant to the Exchange Note or the conversion of Warrant Shares or Preferred Conversion Shares to Investor out of its authorized and unissued shares, and not the Share Reserve, to the extent Common Shares have been authorized, but not issued, and are not included in the Share Reserve. The transfer agent shall only issue shares out of the Share Reserve to the extent there are no other authorized shares available for issuance and then only with Investor’s written consent. Company further agrees to add additional Common Shares to the Share Reserve in increments of 10,000 as and when requested by Investor if at any time the number of Common Shares being held in the Share Reserve is insufficient to cover the full conversion of the Note or full conversion of the Warrant Shares or Preferred Conversion Shares.
8. Registration Statement. Within thirty (30) days of the Closing Date, Borrower will file a resale registration statement on Form S-1 (the “Registration Statement”) to register at least 1,125,000 (not adjusted for any reverse split) Common Shares for Lender’s resale of the Common Shares issuable upon conversion of the Warrant Shares and the Preferred Conversion Shares. Borrower agrees to file any applicable sticker updates to the Registration Statement within two (2) Trading Days of the occurrence of the event necessitating the filing of such sticker update. If at any time the number of Common Shares included in the Registration Statement (or any subsequent registration statement) is insufficient to exercise the Warrant in full and convert the Warrant Shares into Common Shares (each such date, a “Registration Trigger Date”), then within twenty (20) days of such Registration Trigger Date, Borrower will file another resale Registration Statement to register the number of Common Shares necessary to convert the Warrant Shares in full less the number of Common Shares remaining on the existing Registration Statement. Upon effectiveness of the Registration Statement, any subsequent lapse in the effectiveness of the Registration Statement while any Warrant Shares or Common Shares received pursuant to a conversion of Warrant Shares are owned by Investor will be a breach of this Agreement. In the event the Registration Statement has not been declared effective by the United States Securities and Exchange Commission within 120 days of the Exchange Date, Company will pay to Investor in cash an amount equal to one percent (1%) of the outstanding balance of the Exchange Note on such 120th day and each thirty (30) days thereafter that the Registration Statement is not declared effective until the date that is six (6) months from the Exchange Date. In the event any subsequent Registration Statement has not been declared effective by the United States Securities and Exchange Commission within 120 days of the Registration Trigger Date, then Company will make a cash payment to Investor equal to one percent (1%) of the outstanding balance of the Exchange Note on such 120th day and each thirty (30) days thereafter that the Registration Statement is not declared effective until the date that is six (6) months from the Registration Trigger Date.

9. Application of Covenants from Purchase Agreement; Additional Covenant. Borrower acknowledges and agrees that the covenants contained in Section 4 of the Purchase Agreement will continue to apply in all respects to Borrower and to the Exchange Note until the Exchange Note has been repaid in full. Moreover, Borrower covenants and agrees that at such time that the Shareholder Approval is obtained, Company will file a SEC form PRE 14C Preliminary Information Statement (the “PRE14C”) with the Securities and Exchange Commission notifying its shareholders of the Shareholder Approval within three (3) days of receiving such Shareholder Approval, and furthermore file a SEC form DEF14C Definitive Information Statement with respect to the Shareholder Approval within ten (10) days following the filing of the PRE14C.
10. Governing Law; Venue. This Agreement shall be construed and enforced in accordance with, and all questions concerning the construction, validity, interpretation and performance of this Agreement shall be governed by, the internal laws of the State of Utah, without giving effect to any choice of law or conflict of law provision or rule (whether of the State of Utah or any other jurisdictions) that would cause the application of the laws of any jurisdictions other than the State of Utah. The provisions set forth in the Purchase Agreement to determine the proper venue for any disputes are incorporated herein by this reference. BORROWER HEREBY IRREVOCABLY WAIVES ANY RIGHT IT MAY HAVE TO, AND AGREES NOT TO REQUEST, A JURY TRIAL FOR THE ADJUDICATION OF ANY DISPUTE HEREUNDER OR IN CONNECTION WITH OR ARISING OUT OF THIS AGREEMENT OR ANY TRANSACTION CONTEMPLATED HEREBY.
11. Arbitration of Claims. This Agreement shall be subject to the Arbitration Provisions attached as an exhibit to the Purchase Agreement.
12. Counterparts. This Agreement may be executed in two (2) or more counterparts, each of which shall be deemed an original, but all of which together shall constitute one and the same instrument.

13. Attorneys’ Fees. In the event of any arbitration or action at law or in equity to enforce or interpret the terms of this Agreement, the parties agree that the prevailing party shall be entitled to an additional award of the full amount of the attorneys’ fees and expenses paid by such prevailing party in connection with the arbitration, litigation and/or dispute without reduction or apportionment based upon the individual claims or defenses giving rise to the fees and expenses. The “prevailing party” shall be the party in whose favor a judgment is entered, regardless of whether judgment is entered on all claims asserted by such party and regardless of the amount of the judgment; or where, due to the assertion of counterclaims, judgments are entered in favor of and against both parties, then the arbitrator shall determine the “prevailing party” by taking into account the relative dollar amounts of the judgments or, if the judgments involve nonmonetary relief, the relative importance and value of such relief. Nothing herein shall restrict or impair an arbitrator’s or a court’s power to award reasonable fees and expenses for frivolous or bad faith pleading.

|
14. No Reliance. Borrower acknowledges and agrees that neither Lender nor any of its officers, directors, members, managers, equity holders, representatives or agents has made any representations or warranties to Borrower or any of its agents, representatives, officers, directors, or employees except as expressly set forth in this Agreement and the Transaction Documents and, in making its decision to enter into the transactions contemplated by this Agreement, Borrower is not relying on any representation, warranty, covenant or promise of Lender or its officers, directors, members, managers, equity holders, agents or representatives other than as set forth in this Agreement.
15. Severability. If any part of this Agreement is construed to be in violation of any law, such part shall be modified to achieve the objective of the parties to the fullest extent permitted and the balance of this Agreement shall remain in full force and effect.

18. Successors and Assigns. This Agreement shall be binding upon and inure to the benefit of the parties and their respective successors and assigns. This Agreement or any of the severable rights and obligations inuring to the benefit of or to be performed by Lender hereunder may be assigned by Lender to a third party in whole or in part. Borrower may not assign this Agreement or any of its obligations herein without the prior written consent of Lender.

4. Waiver. To the extent permitted by law, each Guarantor hereby waives and relinquishes all rights and remedies accorded by applicable law to guarantors and agrees not to assert or take advantage of any such rights or remedies, including (without limitation) (a) any right to require Investor to proceed against Company or any other person or to pursue any other remedy in Investor’s power before proceeding against Guarantor; (b) any defense that may arise by reason of the incapacity, lack of authority, death or disability of any other person or persons or the failure of Investor to file or enforce a claim against the estate (in administration, bankruptcy or any other proceeding) of any other person or persons; (c) demand, protest and notice of any kind, including, without limitation, notice of the existence, creation or incurring of any new or additional indebtedness, liability or obligation or of any action or non-action on the part of Company, Investor, any endorser or creditor of Company or Guarantor or on the part of any other person whomsoever under this or any other instrument in connection with any obligation or liability or evidence of indebtedness held by Investor as collateral or in connection with any Obligation hereby guaranteed; (d) any defense based upon an election of remedies by Investor which may destroy or otherwise impair the subrogation rights of Guarantor or the right of Guarantor to proceed against Company for reimbursement, or both; provided, however, the Company makes no waiver as to the defense of payment; (e) any defense based upon any statute or rule of law which provides that the obligation of a surety must be neither larger in amount nor in other respects more burdensome than that of the principal; (f) any duty on the part of Investor to disclose to Guarantor any facts Investor may now or hereafter know about Company, regardless of whether Investor has reason to believe that any such facts materially increase the risk beyond that which Guarantor intends to assume or has reason to believe that such facts are unknown to Guarantor or has a reasonable opportunity to communicate such facts to Guarantor, since Guarantor acknowledges that it is fully responsible for being and keeping informed of the financial condition of Company and of all circumstances bearing on the risk of non-payment of any Obligation; (g) any defense arising because of Investor’s election, in any proceeding instituted under the Federal Bankruptcy Code, of the application of Section 1111(b)(2) of the Federal Bankruptcy Code; (h) any defense based on any borrowing or grant of a security interest under Section 364 of the Federal Bankruptcy Code; (i) any claim, right or remedy which Guarantor may now have or hereafter acquire against Company that arises hereunder and/or from the performance by Guarantor hereunder, including, without limitation, any claim, right or remedy of Investor against Company or any security which Investor now has or hereafter acquires, whether or not such claim, right or remedy arises in equity, under contract, by statute, under common law or otherwise; and (j) any obligation of Investor to pursue any other guarantor or any other person, or to foreclose on any collateral.

5. Bankruptcy. So long as any Obligation (other than any inchoate indemnification obligations) shall be owing to Investor, Guarantors shall not, without the prior written consent of Investor, commence, or join with any other person in commencing, any bankruptcy, reorganization, or insolvency proceeding against Company. The obligations of Guarantors under this Guaranty shall not be altered, limited or affected by any proceeding, voluntary or involuntary, involving the bankruptcy, insolvency, receivership, reorganization, liquidation or arrangement of Company, or by any defense which Company may have by reason of any order, decree or decision of any court or administrative body resulting from any such proceeding.
6. Claims in Bankruptcy. Guarantors shall file in any bankruptcy or other proceeding in which the filing of claims is required or permitted by law all claims that Guarantors may have against Company relating to any indebtedness, liability or obligation of Company owed to Guarantors and will assign to Investor all rights of Guarantors thereunder. If any Guarantor does not file any such claim, Investor, as attorney-in-fact for Guarantor, is hereby authorized to do so in the name of Guarantor or, in Investor’s discretion, to assign the claim to a nominee and to cause proof of claim to be filed in the name of Investor’s nominee. The foregoing power of attorney is coupled with an interest and cannot be revoked. Investor or Investor’s nominee shall have the sole right to accept or reject any plan proposed in such proceeding and to take any other action that a party filing a claim is entitled to do. In all such cases, whether in administration, bankruptcy or otherwise, the person or persons authorized to pay such claim shall pay to Investor the amount payable on such claim and, to the full extent necessary for that purpose, each Guarantor hereby assigns to Investor all of Guarantor’s rights to any such payments or distributions to which Guarantor would otherwise be entitled; provided, however, that Guarantor’s obligations hereunder shall not be deemed satisfied except to the extent that Investor receives cash by reason of any such payment or distribution. If Investor receives anything hereunder other than cash, the same shall be held as collateral for amounts due under this Guaranty. If at any time the holder of either Note is required to refund to Company any payments made by Company under such Note because such payments have been held by a bankruptcy court having jurisdiction over Company to constitute a preference under any bankruptcy, insolvency or similar law then in effect, or for any other reason, then in addition to such Guarantor’s other obligation under this Guaranty, Guarantor shall reimburse the holder in the aggregate amount of such refund payments.
7. Costs and Attorneys’ Fees. If Company or any Guarantor fails to pay all or any portion of any Obligation, or any Guarantor otherwise breaches any provision hereof or otherwise defaults hereunder, Guarantors shall pay all such expenses and actual attorneys’ fees incurred by Investor in connection with the enforcement of any obligations of Guarantors hereunder, including, without limitation, any attorneys’ fees incurred in any negotiation, alternative dispute resolution proceeding subsequently agreed to by the parties, if any, litigation, or bankruptcy proceeding or any appeals from any of such proceedings.
8. Cumulative Rights. The amount of Guarantors’ liability and all rights, powers and remedies of Investor hereunder and under any other agreement now or at any time hereafter in force between Investor and Guarantors, including, without limitation, any other guaranty executed by Guarantors relating to any indebtedness, liability or obligation of Company owed to Investor, shall be cumulative and not alternative and such rights, powers and remedies shall be in addition to all rights, powers and remedies given to Investor by law. This Guaranty is in addition to and exclusive of the guaranty of any other guarantor of any indebtedness, liability or obligation of Company owed to Investor.
|
|
9. Independent Obligations. The obligations of Guarantors hereunder are independent of the obligations of Company and, to the extent permitted by law, in the event of any breach or default hereunder, a separate action or actions may be brought and prosecuted against Guarantors whether or not Company is joined therein or a separate action or actions are brought against Company, and Investor shall have no obligation to separately pursue an action against Company with respect to the Obligations. Investor may maintain successive actions for other breaches or defaults. Investor’s rights hereunder shall not be exhausted by Investor’s exercise of any of Investor’s rights or remedies or by any such action or by any number of successive actions until and unless all Obligations have been paid and fully performed.
10. Severability. If any part of this Guaranty is construed to be in violation of any law, such part shall be modified to achieve the objective of the parties to the fullest extent permitted and the balance of this Guaranty shall remain in full force and effect.
11. Successors and Assigns. This Guaranty shall inure to the benefit of Investor, Investor’s successors and assigns, including the assignees of any Obligation, and shall bind the heirs, executors, administrators, personal representatives, successors and assigns of Guarantors. This Guaranty may be assigned by Investor with respect to all or any portion of the Obligations, and when so assigned, Guarantors shall be liable to the assignees under this Guaranty without in any manner affecting the liability of Guarantors hereunder with respect to any Obligations retained by Investor.
12. Notices. Whenever any Guarantor or Investor shall desire to give or serve any notice, demand, request or other communication with respect to this Guaranty, each such notice shall be given in writing (unless otherwise specified herein) and shall be deemed effectively given on the earliest of:

13. Application of Payments or Recoveries. With or without notice to Guarantors, Investor, in Investor’s sole discretion and at any time and from time to time and in such manner and upon such terms as Investor deems fit, may (a) apply any or all payments or recoveries from Company or from any other guarantor or endorser under any other instrument or realized from any security, in such manner and order of priority as Investor may determine, to any indebtedness, liability or obligation of Company owed to Investor, whether or not such indebtedness, liability or obligation is guaranteed hereby or is otherwise secured or is due at the time of such application; and (b) refund to Company any payment received by Investor in connection with any Obligation and payment of the amount refunded shall be fully guaranteed hereby.

Investor shall have a right of setoff against all monies, securities and other property of Guarantors now or hereafter in the possession of, or on deposit with, Investor (if any), whether held in a general or special account or deposit, or for safekeeping or otherwise. Such right is in addition to any right of setoff Investor may have by law. All rights of setoff may be exercised without notice or demand to Guarantors. No right of setoff shall be deemed to have been waived by any act or conduct on the part of Investor, or by any neglect to exercise such right of setoff, or by any delay in doing so. Every right of setoff shall continue in full force and effect until specifically waived or released by an instrument in writing executed by Investor.

|
7. Default and Remedies.
7.1. Default. All Guarantors shall be deemed in default under this Agreement upon the occurrence of an Event of Default.
7.2. Remedies. Upon the occurrence of any such Event of Default, Secured Party shall have the rights of a secured creditor under the UCC, all rights granted by this Agreement and by law, including, without limiting the foregoing, (a) the right to require Guarantor to assemble the Collateral and make it available to Secured Party at a place to be designated by Secured Party, and (b) the right to peaceably take possession of the Collateral, and for that purpose Secured Party may peaceably enter upon premises on which the Collateral may be situated and remove the Collateral therefrom. Guarantor hereby agrees that fifteen (15) days’ notice of a public sale of any Collateral or notice of the date after which a private sale of any Collateral may take place is reasonable. In addition, each Guarantor waives any and all rights that it may have to a judicial hearing in advance of the enforcement of any of Secured Party’s rights and remedies hereunder, including, without limitation, Secured Party’s right following an Event of Default to take immediate possession of Collateral and to exercise Secured Party’s rights and remedies with respect thereto. Secured Party may also have a receiver appointed to take charge of all or any portion of the Collateral and to exercise all rights of Secured Party under this Agreement. Secured Party may exercise any of its rights under this Section 7.2 without demand or notice of any kind. The remedies in this Agreement, including without limitation this Section 7.2, are in addition to, not in limitation of, any other right, power, privilege, or remedy, either in law, in equity, or otherwise, to which Secured Party may be entitled. No failure or delay on the part of Secured Party in exercising any right, power, or remedy will operate as a waiver thereof, nor will any single or partial exercise thereof preclude any other or further exercise thereof or the exercise of any other right hereunder. All of Secured Party’s rights and remedies, whether evidenced by this Agreement or by any other agreement, instrument or document shall be cumulative and may be exercised singularly or concurrently.
7.3. Standards for Exercising Rights and Remedies. To the extent that applicable law imposes duties on Secured Party to exercise remedies in a commercially reasonable manner, each Guarantor acknowledges and agrees that it is not commercially unreasonable for Secured Party (a) to fail to incur expenses reasonably deemed significant by Secured Party to prepare Collateral for disposition, (b) to fail to obtain third party consents for access to Collateral to be disposed of, or to obtain or, if not required by other law, to fail to obtain governmental or third party consents for the collection or disposition of Collateral to be collected or disposed of, (c) to fail to exercise collection remedies against account Guarantors or other persons obligated on Collateral or to fail to remove liens or encumbrances on or any adverse claims against Collateral, (d) to exercise collection remedies against account Guarantors and other persons obligated on Collateral directly or through the use of collection agencies and other collection specialists, (e) to advertise dispositions of Collateral through publications or media of general circulation, whether or not the Collateral is of a specialized nature, (f) to contact other persons, whether or not in the same business as Guarantor, for expressions of interest in acquiring all or any portion of the Collateral, (g) to hire one or more professional auctioneers to assist in the disposition of Collateral, whether or not the Collateral is of a specialized nature, (h) to dispose of Collateral by utilizing Internet sites that provide for the auction of assets of the types included in the Collateral or that have the reasonable capability of doing so, or that match buyers and sellers of assets, (i) to dispose of assets in wholesale rather than retail markets, (j) to disclaim disposition warranties, (k) to purchase insurance or credit enhancements to insure Secured Party against risks of loss, collection or disposition of Collateral or to provide to Secured Party a guaranteed return from the collection or disposition of Collateral, or (l) to the extent deemed appropriate by Secured Party, to obtain the services of other brokers, investment bankers, consultants and other professionals to assist Secured Party in the collection or disposition of any of the Collateral. Guarantor acknowledges that the purpose of this Section is to provide non-exhaustive indications of what actions or omissions by Secured Party would fulfill Secured Party’s duties under the UCC in Secured Party’s exercise of remedies against the Collateral and that other actions or omissions by Secured Party shall not be deemed to fail to fulfill such duties solely on account of not being indicated in this Section. Without limitation upon the foregoing, nothing contained in this Section shall be construed to grant any rights to Guarantor or to impose any duties on Secured Party that would not have been granted or imposed by this Agreement or by applicable law in the absence of this Section.

Secured Party shall not be required to marshal any present or future Collateral for, or other assurances of payment of, the Obligations or to resort to such Collateral or other assurances of payment in any particular order, and all of its rights and remedies hereunder and in respect of such Collateral and other assurances of payment shall be cumulative and in addition to all other rights and remedies, however existing or arising. To the extent that it lawfully may, each Guarantor hereby agrees that it will not invoke any law relating to the marshalling of Collateral which might cause delay in or impede the enforcement of Secured Party’s rights and remedies under this Agreement or under any other instrument creating or evidencing any of the Obligations or under which any of the Obligations is outstanding or by which any of the Obligations is secured or payment thereof is otherwise assured, and, to the extent that it lawfully may, Guarantor hereby irrevocably waives the benefits of all such laws.

(a) First, to the payment of reasonable costs and expenses, including all amounts expended to preserve the value of the Collateral, of foreclosure or suit, if any, and of such sale and the exercise of any other rights or remedies, and of all proper fees, expenses, liability and advances, including reasonable legal expenses and attorneys’ fees, incurred or made hereunder by Secured Party;
(b) Second, to the payment to Secured Party of the amount then owing or unpaid on the Notes (to be applied first to accrued interest and second to outstanding principal) and all amounts owed under any of the other Transaction Documents or other documents included within the Obligations; and
(c) Third, to the payment of the surplus, if any, to Guarantor, its successors and assigns, or to whosoever may be lawfully entitled to receive the same.
In the absence of final payment and satisfaction in full of all of the Obligations, all Guarantors shall remain liable for any deficiency.
8. Miscellaneous.

Each Guarantor waives any right to require Secured Party to proceed against any person or entity or to exhaust any Collateral or to pursue any remedy in Secured Party’s power.
8.6. Partial Invalidity. If any part of this Agreement is construed to be in violation of any law, such part shall be modified to achieve the objective of the parties to the fullest extent permitted and the balance of this Agreement shall remain in full force and effect.
8.7. Expenses. Guarantors shall pay on demand all reasonable fees and expenses, including reasonable attorneys’ fees and expenses, incurred by Secured Party in connection with the custody, preservation or sale of, or other realization on, any of the Collateral or the enforcement or attempt to enforce any of the Obligations which are not performed as and when required by this Agreement.
8.8. Entire Agreement. This Agreement, the Notes and the other Transaction Documents, taken together, constitute and contain the entire agreement of Guarantors and Secured Party with respect to this particular matter and supersede any and all prior agreements, negotiations, correspondence, understandings and communications between the parties, whether written or oral, respecting the subject matter hereof.
8.9. Governing Law; Venue.

PLEDGE AGREEMENT
This PLEDGE AGREEMENT (this “Agreement”) is entered into as of September 10, 2025 by and between Streeterville Capital, LLC, a Utah limited liability company (the “Secured Party”), and American Rebel Holdings, Inc., a Nevada corporation (the “Pledgor”).
A. The Secured Party purchased from the Pledgor that certain Secured Promissory Note dated June 26, 2025 in the original principal amount of $5,470,000.00 (the “Original Note”). The Note was issued pursuant to a certain Note Purchase Agreement dated June 26, 2025 between the Secured Party and the Pledgor (the “Purchase Agreement”). Any capitalized term referred to herein without definition shall have the meaning ascribed to such term in the Purchase Agreement.
B. The Pledgor also issued to the Secured Party that certain Secured Convertible Promissory Note in the original principal amount of $1,310,000.00 on September 10, 2025 (the “Exchange Note”, and together with the Original Note, the “Notes”) pursuant to an Exchange Agreement between the Pledgor and the Secured Party dated September 10, 2025 (the “Exchange Agreement”).
C. The Pledgor has agreed to pledge all of the equity interests it owns in the following subsidiaries to secure performance of Pledgor’s obligations under the Notes and related documents: (i) Champion Safe Company, Inc., a Utah corporation, (ii) Superior Safe Co., LLC, a Utah limited liability company, (iii) Safe Guard Security Products LLC, a Utah limited liability company, and (iv) Champion Safe de Mexico, S.A. de C.V., a Mexican business entity (collectively, the “Subsidiaries”).
D. The Secured Party agreed to release certain funds under the Purchase Agreement and enter into the Exchange Agreement in reliance on the Pledgor’s agreement to provide this pledge of the equity interests of each of the Subsidiaries as set forth in this Agreement.
NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of $10.00, the premises, the mutual covenants and conditions contained herein, and for other good and valuable consideration, the receipt and sufficiency of which are hereby acknowledged, the parties hereto agree as follows:
1. Grant of Security Interest. The Pledgor hereby pledges to the Secured Party as collateral and security for the Secured Obligations (as defined in Section 2) and grants the Secured Party a first-position security interest in the equity interests of each of the Subsidiaries held by the Pledgor (the “Pledged Equity”). The Secured Party shall have the right to exercise the rights and remedies set forth herein and in the Transaction Documents (as defined in the Purchase Agreement) and the Exchange Documents (as defined in the Exchange Agreement) if an Event of Default (as defined in the Notes) has occurred under either Note. The Pledgor represents, warrants and covenants that it is and shall remain the sole beneficial and record owner of the Pledged Equity, free and clear of all encumbrances, and shall defend such ownership against all claims and demands whatsoever. Such Pledged Equity, together with any additions, replacements, accessions or substitutes therefor or proceeds thereof, are hereinafter referred to collectively as the “Collateral.”
2. Secured Obligations. During the term hereof, the Collateral shall secure the performance by Pledgor of all of its obligations under the Notes and the other Transaction Documents and Exchange Documents (the “Secured Obligations”).
3. Perfection of Security Interest.
(a) The Pledgor will, at the Pledgor’s own expense, cause to be searched the public records with respect to the Collateral and will execute, deliver, file and record (in such manner and form as the Secured Party may require), or permit the Secured Party to file and record, as the Pledgor’s attorney-in-fact, any financing statements, any carbon, photographic or other reproduction of a financing statement or this Agreement (which shall be sufficient as a financing statement hereunder), and any specific assignments or other paper that may be reasonably necessary or desirable, or that the Secured Party may request, in order to create, preserve, perfect or validate any security interest or to enable the Secured Party to exercise and enforce the Secured Party’s rights hereunder with respect to any of the Collateral. The Pledgor hereby appoints the Secured Party as the Pledgor’s attorney-in-fact to execute in the name and on behalf of the Pledgor such additional financing statements as the Secured Party may request.
(b) The Pledgor hereby authorizes the Secured Party to file one or more UCC-1 financing statements or other appropriate documents with applicable governmental agencies to evidence, perfect, and/or protect Secured Party’s security interest in the Collateral.
4. Assignment. In connection with the transfer of the Notes, the Secured Party may assign or transfer the whole or any part of the Secured Party’s security interest granted hereunder. Any such assignee or transferee of the Secured Party shall be vested with all of the rights and powers of the Secured Party hereunder with respect to the Collateral.
5. Representations, Warranties and Covenants of the Pledgor.
(a) Title. The Pledgor hereby represents and warrants to the Secured Party as follows with respect to the Collateral:
(i) The Pledged Equity has been duly authorized by all necessary corporate or limited liability company action on the part of the Subsidiaries and is duly and validly issued, fully paid and non-assessable;
(ii) Except for the Pledgor’s 98% equity interests in Champion Safe De Mexico, S.A. de C.V., the Pledged Equity represents 100% of the outstanding equity interests in the other Subsidiaries;
(iii) The Pledged Equity is free from all taxes, liens, claims, pledges, mortgages, restrictions, obligations, security interests and encumbrances of any kind, nature or description, and will not subject the Secured Party to personal liability by reason of being the holder thereof;
|
|
(iv) The Pledgor has fully performed under all agreements between it and the Subsidiaries pursuant to which the Pledged Equity was issued and the Subsidiaries have no claims, defenses or rights of offset against the Pledgor or the Pledged Equity pursuant to the terms of any such agreements;
(v) The Pledgor is the sole owner of the Collateral;
(vi) The Pledgor further agrees not to grant or create any security interest, claim, transfer restriction, lien, pledge or other encumbrance with respect to such Collateral or attempt to or actually sell, transfer or otherwise dispose of the Collateral, until the Secured Obligations have been paid and performed in full; and
(vii) This Agreement constitutes a legal, valid and binding obligation of the Pledgor enforceable in accordance with its terms (except as the enforcement thereof may be limited by bankruptcy, insolvency, fraudulent conveyance, reorganization, moratorium, and similar laws now or hereafter in effect).
(b) Other.
(i) The Pledgor fully intends to fulfill and has the capability of fulfilling the Secured Obligations to be performed by the Pledgor in accordance with the terms of the Notes.
(ii) The Pledgor is not acting, and has not agreed to act, in any plan to sell or dispose of any Pledged Equity in a manner intended to circumvent the registration requirements of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”), or any applicable state law.
(iii) The Pledgor has been advised by counsel of the elements of a bona-fide pledge for purposes of determining the holding period for restricted securities under Rule 144(d)(3)(iv) under the Securities Act, including the relevant U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission interpretations, and affirms that the pledge of units by the Pledgor pursuant to this Agreement will constitute a bona-fide pledge of such units for purposes of such Rule.
(iv) The Pledgor will not consent to or otherwise approve of, or cause the Subsidiaries to consent to or otherwise approve of, or take any action that amends or alters the rights of the Pledged Equity to the detriment of the Secured Party without the written consent of the Secured Party to such amendment. The Pledgor further covenants and agrees not to take any action that would impair the Secured Party’s rights hereunder or as a holder of the Pledged Equity without the written consent of the Secured Party.
6. Collection of Dividends and Interest. After the occurrence of any Event of Default, the Secured Party shall be authorized to collect and receive as additional Collateral all dividends, distributions, interest payments, and other amounts that may be, or may become, due on any of the Collateral, to be held under the terms hereof in the same manner as the Collateral, and Pledgor hereby irrevocably directs each Subsidiary to pay all such amounts directly to Secured Party upon Secured Party’s written demand.
|
|
7. Voting Rights. During the term of this Agreement and until such time as this Agreement has terminated or the Secured Party has exercised the Secured Party’s rights under this Agreement to foreclose the Secured Party’s interest in the Collateral, the Pledgor shall have the right to exercise any voting rights evidenced by, or relating to, the Collateral, provided that such voting rights shall not be exercised in any manner that would materially impair the value of the Collateral or be inconsistent with or violate any provisions of this Agreement.
8. Warrants and Options. In the event that, during the term of this Agreement, subscription, spin-off, warrants, dividends, or any other rights or option shall be issued in connection with the Collateral, such warrants, dividends, rights and options shall immediately be deemed to have become part of the Collateral and, to the extent such items of Collateral are certificated, shall promptly be delivered to the Secured Party to be held under the terms hereof in the same manner as the Collateral.
9. Preservation of the Value of the Collateral. The Pledgor shall pay all taxes, charges, and assessments against the Collateral and do all acts necessary to preserve and maintain the value thereof.
10. The Secured Party as the Pledgor’s Attorney-in-Fact.
(a) The Pledgor hereby irrevocably appoints the Secured Party as the Pledgor’s attorney-in-fact, with full authority in the place and stead of the Pledgor and in the name of the Pledgor, the Secured Party or otherwise, only after the occurrence of an Event of Default under either Note, from time to time at the Secured Party’s discretion, to take any action and to execute any instrument, that the Secured Party may reasonably deem necessary or advisable to accomplish the purposes of this Agreement, including: (i), to receive, endorse, and collect all instruments made payable to the Pledgor representing any dividend, interest payment or other distribution in respect of the Collateral or any part thereof to the extent permitted hereunder and to give full discharge for the same and to execute and file governmental notifications and reporting forms; and (ii) to arrange for the transfer of the Collateral on the books of the Subsidiaries or any other person to the name of the Secured Party or to the name of the Secured Party’s nominee.
(b) In addition to the designation of the Secured Party as the Pledgor’s attorney-in-fact in subsection (a), the Pledgor hereby irrevocably appoints the Secured Party as the Pledgor’s agent and attorney-in-fact, only after the occurrence of an Event of Default, to make, execute and deliver any and all documents and writings which may be necessary or appropriate for approval of, or be required by, any regulatory authority located in any city, county, state or country where the Pledgor or the Subsidiaries engages in business, in order to transfer or to more effectively transfer any of the Pledged Equity or otherwise enforce the Secured Party’s rights hereunder.
|
|
11. Remedies upon Default. After the occurrence and during the continuance of any Event of Default under either Note:
(a) The Secured Party may exercise in respect of the Collateral, in addition to other rights and remedies provided for herein or otherwise available to the Secured Party, all the rights and remedies of a secured party on default under applicable law, including without limitation the Utah Uniform Commercial Code (irrespective of whether such applies to the affected items of Collateral), and the Secured Party may also without notice (except as specified below) (i) convert the Collateral into an electronic format, if applicable, (ii) cause the Subsidiaries’ transfer agent, if applicable, to put all certificates evidencing the Pledged Equity into Secured Party’s name and instruct the Subsidiaries’ transfer agent (if any) to remove all legends from such certificates, and (iii) sell the Collateral or any part thereof in one or more parcels at public or private sale, at any exchange, broker’s board or at any of the Secured Party’s offices or elsewhere, for cash, on credit or for future delivery, at such time or times and at such price or prices and upon such other terms as the Secured Party may deem commercially reasonable, irrespective of the impact of any such sales on the market price of the Collateral. To the maximum extent permitted by applicable law, the Secured Party may be the purchaser of any or all of the Collateral at any such sale and shall be entitled, for the purpose of bidding and making settlement or payment of the purchase price for all or any portion of the Collateral sold at any such public sale, to use and apply all or any part of the Secured Obligations as a credit on account of the purchase price of any Collateral payable at such sale. Each purchaser at any such sale shall hold the property sold absolutely free from any claim or right on the part of the Pledgor, and the Pledgor hereby waives (to the extent permitted by law) all rights of redemption, stay, or appraisal that the Pledgor now has or may at any time in the future have under any rule of law or statute now existing or hereafter enacted. The Pledgor agrees that, to the extent notice of sale shall be required by law, at least ten (10) calendar days’ notice to the Pledgor of the time and place of any public sale or the time after which a private sale is to be made shall constitute reasonable notification. The Secured Party shall not be obligated to make any sale of Collateral regardless of notice of sale having been given. The Secured Party may adjourn any public or private sale from time to time by announcement at the time and place fixed therefor, and such sale may, without further notice, be made at the time and place to which it was so adjourned. To the maximum extent permitted by law, the Pledgor hereby waives any claims against the Secured Party arising because the price at which any Collateral may have been sold at such a private sale was less than the price that might have been obtained at a public sale, even if the Secured Party accepts the first offer received and does not offer such Collateral to more than one offeree.
(b) The Pledgor hereby agrees that any sale or other disposition of the Collateral conducted in conformity with reasonable commercial practices of banks, insurance companies, or other financial institutions in the city and state where the Secured Party is located in disposing of property similar to the Collateral shall be deemed to be commercially reasonable.
(c) The Pledgor hereby acknowledges that the sale by the Secured Party of any Collateral pursuant to the terms hereof in compliance with the Securities Act, as well as applicable “Blue Sky” or other state securities laws, may require strict limitations as to the manner in which the Secured Party, or any subsequent transferee of the Collateral, may dispose thereof. The Pledgor acknowledges and agrees that in order to protect the Secured Party’s interest it may be necessary to sell the Collateral at a price less than the maximum price attainable if a sale were delayed or were made in another manner, such as a public offering under the Securities Act. The Pledgor has no objection to a sale in such a manner and agrees that the Secured Party shall have no obligation to obtain the maximum possible price for the Collateral. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the Pledgor agrees that, after the occurrence of an Event of Default, the Secured Party may, subject to applicable law, from time-to-time attempt to sell all or any part of the Collateral by a private placement, restricting the bidders and prospective purchasers to those who will represent and agree that they are purchasing for investment only and not for distribution. In so doing, the Secured Party may solicit offers to buy the Collateral or any part thereof for cash, from a limited number of investors reasonably believed by the Secured Party to be institutional investors or other accredited investors who might be interested in purchasing the Collateral. If the Secured Party shall solicit such offers, then the acceptance by the Secured Party of one of the offers shall be deemed to be a commercially reasonable method of disposition of the Collateral.
|
|
(d) If the Secured Party shall determine to exercise the Secured Party’s right to sell all or any portion of the Collateral pursuant to this Section, then the Pledgor agrees that, upon request of the Secured Party, the Pledgor, at the Pledgor’s own expense, shall:
(i) execute and deliver, or cause the officers and directors of to execute and deliver, to any person, entity or governmental authority as the Secured Party may choose, any and all documents and writings which, in the Secured Party’s reasonable judgment, may be necessary or appropriate for approval, or be required by, any regulatory authority located in any city, county, state or country where the Pledgor or the Subsidiaries engage in business, in order to transfer or to more effectively transfer the Collateral or otherwise enforce the Secured Party’s rights hereunder; and
(ii) do or cause to be done all such other acts and things as may be necessary to make such sale of the Collateral or any part thereof valid and binding and in compliance with applicable law.
The Pledgor acknowledges that there is no adequate remedy at law for failure by the Pledgor to comply with the provisions of this Section 11 and that such failure would not be adequately compensable in damages, and therefore agrees that the Pledgor’s agreements contained in this Section 11 may be specifically enforced.
(e) THE PLEDGOR EXPRESSLY WAIVES TO THE MAXIMUM EXTENT PERMITTED BY LAW: (i) ANY CONSTITUTIONAL OR OTHER RIGHT TO A JUDICIAL HEARING PRIOR TO THE TIME THE SECURED PARTY DISPOSES OF ALL OR ANY PART OF THE COLLATERAL AS PROVIDED IN THIS SECTION; (ii) ALL RIGHTS OF REDEMPTION, STAY, OR APPRAISAL THAT THE PLEDGOR NOW HAS OR MAY AT ANY TIME IN THE FUTURE HAVE UNDER ANY RULE OF LAW OR STATUTE NOW EXISTING OR HEREAFTER ENACTED; AND (iii) EXCEPT AS SET FORTH IN SUBSECTION (a) OF THIS SECTION 11, ANY REQUIREMENT OF NOTICE, DEMAND, OR ADVERTISEMENT FOR SALE.
12. Indemnity and Expenses. The Pledgor agrees:
(a) To indemnify and hold harmless the Secured Party and each of the Secured Party’s agents and affiliates from and against any and all claims, damages, demands, losses, obligations, judgments and liabilities (including, without limitation, reasonable attorneys’ fees and expenses) in any way arising out of or in connection with this Agreement or the Secured Obligations, except to the extent the same shall arise as a result of the gross negligence or willful misconduct of the party seeking to be indemnified; and
|
|
(b) To pay and reimburse the Secured Party upon demand for all reasonable costs and expenses (including, without limitation, reasonable attorneys’ fees and expenses) that the Secured Party may incur in connection with (i) the custody, use or preservation of, or the sale of, collection from or other realization upon, any of the Collateral, including the reasonable expenses of re-taking, holding, preparing for sale or lease, selling or otherwise disposing of or realizing on the Collateral, (ii) the exercise or enforcement of any rights or remedies granted hereunder, under the Notes or otherwise available to the Secured Party (whether at law, in equity or otherwise), or (iii) the failure by the Pledgor to perform or observe any of the provisions hereof. The provisions of this Section 13 shall survive the execution and delivery of this Agreement, the repayment of any of the Secured Obligations, the termination of the commitments of the Secured Party under the Notes and the termination of this Agreement.
14. Duties of the Secured Party. The powers conferred upon the Secured Party hereunder are solely to protect the Secured Party’s interests in the Collateral and shall not impose on the Secured Party any duty to exercise such powers. Except as provided in Section 9-207 of the Uniform Commercial Code of the State of Utah, the Secured Party shall have no duty with respect to the Collateral or any responsibility for taking any necessary steps to preserve rights against any persons with respect to any Collateral.
15. Governing Law; Venue. This Agreement shall be construed and enforced in accordance with, and all questions concerning the construction, validity, interpretation and performance of this Agreement shall be governed by, the internal laws of the State of Utah, without giving effect to any choice of law or conflict of law provision or rule (whether of the State of Utah or any other jurisdiction) that would cause the application of the laws of any jurisdiction other than the State of Utah. The provisions set forth in the Purchase Agreement to determine the proper venue for any disputes are incorporated herein by this reference.
16. Arbitration of Claims. Each party agrees to be bound by the Arbitration Provisions (as defined in the Purchase Agreement) set forth as an exhibit to the Purchase Agreement. For clarity, such arbitration shall be conducted in Salt Lake City, Utah.
17. Amendments; etc. No amendment or waiver of any provision of this Agreement nor consent to any departure by the Pledgor herefrom shall in any event be effective unless the same shall be in writing and signed by the Secured Party, and then such waiver or consent shall be effective only in the specific instance and for the specific purpose for which given.

18. Notices. Any notice required or permitted hereunder shall be given in writing (unless otherwise specified herein) and shall be deemed effectively given on the earliest of: (a) the date delivered, if delivered by personal delivery as against written receipt therefor or by e-mail to an executive officer, or by facsimile (with successful transmission confirmation), (b) the earlier of the date delivered or the third business day after deposit, postage prepaid, in the United States Postal Service by certified mail, or (c) the earlier of the date delivered or the third business day after mailing by express courier, with delivery costs and fees prepaid, in each case, addressed to each of the other parties thereunto entitled at the addresses set forth in the Purchase Agreement in the “Notices” section (or at such other addresses as such party may designate by five (5) calendar days’ advance written notice similarly given to each of the other parties hereto).

(a) any lack of validity or enforceability of any of the Secured Obligations or any other agreement or instrument relating thereto, including any of the Transaction Documents;
(b) any change in the time, manner, or place of payment of, or in any other term of, all or any of the Secured Obligations, or any other amendment or waiver of or any consent to any departure from any of the Transaction Documents, or any other agreement or instrument relating thereto;
(c) any exchange, release, or non-perfection of any other collateral, or any release or amendment or waiver of or consent to departure from any guaranty for all or any of the Secured Obligations; or

(d) any other circumstances that might otherwise constitute a defense available to, or a discharge of, the Pledgor.
21. Headings. Section and subsection headings in this Agreement are included herein for convenience of reference only and shall not constitute a part of this Agreement or be given any substantive effect.
22. Severability. If any part of this Agreement is construed to be in violation of any law, such part shall be modified to achieve the objective of the parties to the fullest extent permitted by law and the balance of this Agreement shall remain in full force and effect.
23. Counterparts; Electronic Execution. This Agreement may be executed in one or more counterparts, each of which shall be deemed an original and all of which together shall constitute one and the same agreement. Delivery of an executed counterpart of this Agreement by facsimile or email shall be equally as effective as delivery of an original executed counterpart of this Agreement. Any party delivering an executed counterpart of this Agreement by facsimile or email also shall deliver an original executed counterpart of this Agreement but the failure to deliver an original executed counterpart shall not affect the validity, enforceability, or binding effect hereof.
24. Waiver of Marshaling. Each of the Pledgor and the Secured Party acknowledges and agrees that in exercising any rights under or with respect to the Collateral the Secured Party: (a) is under no obligation to marshal any Collateral; (b) may, in the Secured Party’s absolute discretion, realize upon the Collateral in any order and in any manner the Secured Party so elects; and (c) may, in the Secured Party’s sole and absolute discretion, apply the proceeds of any or all of the Collateral to the Secured Obligations in any order and in any manner the Secured Party so elects, without any duty to maximize recovery or minimize losses. The Pledgor and the Secured Party waive any right to require the marshaling of any of the Collateral.
25. Waiver of Jury Trial. THE PLEDGOR AND THE SECURED PARTY HEREBY WAIVE THEIR RESPECTIVE RIGHTS TO A JURY TRIAL OF ANY CLAIM OR CAUSE OF ACTION BASED UPON OR ARISING OUT OF THIS AGREEMENT OR ANY OF THE TRANSACTIONS CONTEMPLATED HEREIN, INCLUDING CONTRACT CLAIMS, TORT CLAIMS, BREACH OF DUTY CLAIMS, AND ALL OTHER COMMON LAW OR STATUTORY CLAIMS. THE PLEDGOR AND THE SECURED PARTY REPRESENT THAT EACH HAS REVIEWED THIS WAIVER AND EACH KNOWINGLY AND VOLUNTARILY WAIVES ITS JURY TRIAL RIGHTS FOLLOWING CONSULTATION WITH LEGAL COUNSEL. IN THE EVENT OF LITIGATION, A COPY OF THIS AGREEMENT MAY BE FILED AS A WRITTEN CONSENT TO A TRIAL BY THE COURT.
26. Attorneys’ Fees. In the event of any action at law or in equity to enforce or interpret the terms of this Agreement, the parties agree that the prevailing party shall be entitled to an additional award of the full amount of the reasonable attorneys’ fees and expenses paid by such prevailing party in connection with the dispute without reduction or apportionment based upon the individual claims or defenses giving rise to the fees and expenses. Nothing herein shall restrict or impair a court’s power to award fees and expenses for frivolous or bad faith pleading.
