SECURITIES PURCHASE AGREEMENT


 


This
Securities Purchase Agreement (the “Agreement”) is entered
into as of March __, 2022 by and among Scientific Industries, Inc.,
a Delaware corporation (the “Company”), and each of
the purchasers, severally and not jointly, listed on Annex A hereto (collectively,
the “Purchasers” and each, a
“Purchaser”).

 



BACKGROUND

 


The
Company desires to sell, and each Purchaser desires to purchase,
shares of the Company’s common stock, par value $0.05 per
share (the “Common
Stock”) and warrants to purchase shares of Common
Stock, on the terms and subject to the conditions contained
herein.

 


The
issuance of the shares of Common Stock and warrants to purchase
shares of Common Stock hereunder is being made in a private
placement, without registration under the Securities Act of 1933,
as amended (the “Securities Act”) or any
other applicable securities Laws (as defined below), in reliance on
one or more exemptions from registration and other requirements
thereunder.

 


Therefore, in
consideration of the foregoing, and the representations,
warranties, covenants and conditions set forth below, the parties
hereto, intending to be legally bound, hereby agree as
follows:

 

1. Purchase and Sale of Common
Stock.

 

1.1 Sale and Issuance of Common
Stock. Subject to the terms and conditions of this
Agreement, each Purchaser agrees, severally and not jointly, to
purchase at the Closing (as defined below), and the Company agrees
to sell and issue to the several Purchasers at the Closing, that
number of shares of Common Stock, and warrants to purchase that
number of shares of Common Stock (“Warrants”), in each case
set forth opposite such Purchaser’s name on Annex A hereto, at a purchase
price of $5.50 per share. The shares of Common Stock to be issued
and sold by the Company to the Purchasers pursuant to this
Agreement are collectively referred to herein as the
“Shares”, the shares of
Common Stock issuable upon exercise of the Warrants are
collectively referred to herein as the “Warrant Shares” and the
Shares, Warrants and Warrant Shares are collectively referred to
herein as the “Securities”. To the
extent a Purchaser’s subscription amount received in escrow
does not divide into a whole number of Shares, then the Purchaser
hereby agrees that the Company may, in its sole discretion, receive
and keep the excess subscription amount closed upon pursuant to
this Agreement up to $5.49. Prior to the Closing (as defined
below), each Purchaser hereby agrees to pay the entire purchase
price of the Shares for which such Purchaser has subscribed, as is
set forth on the Purchaser’s signature page, by wire transfer
of immediately available funds in an amount equal to such purchase
price to FirstBank or such other bank as may be selected by the
Company (the “Escrow
Agent”) in accordance with the wiring instructions
provided by the Company or on the Company’s behalf by the
Company’s placement agent Brookline Capital Markets, a
division of Arcadia Securities, LLC (the “Placement Agent”). The
Escrow Agent shall hold the escrow funds for the benefit of the
Company until the applicable Closing pursuant to the terms of an
escrow deposit agreement between the Company, the Escrow Agent and
the Placement Agent, whereupon the Escrow Agent shall release the
funds as designated in writing by the Company and the Placement
Agent. In the event a prospective Purchaser’s subscription is
rejected by the Company, which each prospective Purchaser hereby
acknowledges the Company may do at any time, in whole or in part
and for any reason or no reason, in the Company’s sole
discretion, then such prospective Purchaser’s funds in escrow
that are rejected, if any, shall be promptly returned to such
prospective Purchaser without interest or deduction. In the event
the Initial Closing (as defined below) has not occurred by February
28, 2022, any funds of a prospective Purchaser that are in escrow
will be promptly returned to such prospective Purchaser, without
interest or deduction, upon such prospective Purchaser’s
written request to the Company for the same. Any unaccepted
subscription amount(s) shall be promptly returned to the same
account from which such amount(s) were received (or, if the Company
and the Placement Agent so determine, to such other account or in
such other manner as the Company and the Placement Agreement may
mutually agree upon with the Person to whom an amount is being
returned) without interest or penalty. Additionally, the Company
and the Placement Agent will promptly return funds in escrow for
unaccepted subscriptions if (i) such funds remain in escrow for
more than 90 days after the Company or the Placement Agent, as
applicable, have received completed subscription documents from the
prospective Purchaser, (ii) the prospective Purchaser then requests
in writing the return of such funds to the extent such funds are
not closed upon within 30 days of receipt of such writing by the
Company and the Placement Agent, and (iii) such funds then are not
closed upon within 30 days after the receipt of such writing from
the prospective Purchaser.

 

1.2 Closing. The initial purchase
and sale of the Securities and other transactions contemplated
hereby (the “Initial
Closing”) shall take place remotely via the exchange
of documents and signatures by electronic mail and/or facsimile on
the date hereof or at such other time and place as the Company and
the Purchasers shall mutually agree (the date that the Closing
occurs, the “Initial
Closing Date”). In the event there is more than one
closing, the term “Closing” shall apply to
each such closing unless otherwise specified. At each Closing, (i)
each Purchaser shall execute and deliver to the Escrow Agent the
investor acknowledgment letter, in the form attached to the Escrow
Agreement as Exhibit
B and (ii) the Company shall (i) issue to each Purchaser
(and deliver a book-entry confirmation by the Company’s
transfer agent) that number of Shares set forth opposite such
Purchaser’s name on Annex A hereto in book-entry
form and (ii) deliver to each Purchaser a Warrant, the form of
which is attached hereto as Exhibit A, to purchase that
number of shares of Common Stock set forth opposite such
Purchaser’s name on Annex A hereto. At each
Closing, each Purchaser and the Company shall execute and deliver
the Registration Rights Agreement among the Company and each
Purchaser, the form of which is attached hereto as Exhibit B (the
“Registration Rights
Agreement”).

extension of such time of filing and has filed any such SEC Reports
prior to the expiration of any such extension. As of their
respective dates, the SEC Reports complied in all material respects
with the requirements of the Securities Act and the Exchange Act,
as applicable, and none of the SEC Reports, when filed, contained
any untrue statement of a material fact or omitted to state a
material fact required to be stated therein or necessary in order
to make the statements therein, in the light of the circumstances
under which they were made, not misleading. The Company has never
been an issuer subject to Rule 144(i) under the Securities Act. The
financial statements of the Company included in the SEC Reports
comply in all material respects with applicable accounting
requirements and the rules and regulations of the Commission with
respect thereto as in effect at the time of filing. Such financial

of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002 that are effective as of the date
hereof, and any and all applicable rules and regulations
promulgated by the Securities and Exchange Commission (the
“SEC”)
thereunder that are effective as of the date hereof. The Company
and the Subsidiaries maintain a system of internal accounting
controls sufficient to provide reasonable assurance that: (i)

established “disclosure controls and procedures” (as
defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) promulgated under the
Exchange Act) for the Company and the Subsidiaries and designed
such disclosure controls and procedures to ensure that information
required to be disclosed by the Company in the reports it files or
submits under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized
and reported, within the time periods specified in the SEC’s
rules and forms. The Company’s certifying officers have
evaluated the effectiveness of the disclosure controls and
procedures of the Company and the Subsidiaries as of the end of the
period covered by the most recently filed periodic report under the
Exchange Act (such date, the “Evaluation Date”). The
Company presented in its most recently filed periodic report under
the Exchange Act the conclusions of the certifying officers about
the effectiveness of the disclosure controls and procedures based
on their evaluations as of the Evaluation Date. Since the
Evaluation Date, there have been no changes in the internal control
over financial reporting (as such term is defined in the Exchange
Act) of the Company and its Subsidiaries that have materially
affected the internal control over financial reporting of the
Company and its Subsidiaries.

any Indebtedness or in default under any agreement relating to its

agreement, or lease to which it is a party, other than defaults
that would not, individually or in the aggregate, reasonably be
expected to have a Company Material Adverse Effect.

 

2.7 Litigation. There is no action,
suit, proceeding, or investigation pending or, to the Knowledge of
the Company, overtly threatened against, nor any outstanding
judgment, order, or decree against, the Company or any of its

body which in the aggregate have, or if adversely determined, would
reasonably be expected to have, a Company Material Adverse
Effect.

 

2.8 Title. Each of the Company and
its Subsidiaries has good and marketable title to its properties

possess all permits, certificates, licenses and other
authorizations of Governmental Authorities that are required to
conduct its business, except for such permits, certificates,
licenses or other authorizations the absence of which would not,
individually or in the aggregate, reasonably be expected to have a
Company Material Adverse Effect.

 

2.12 Valid
Issuance of Common Stock. The Shares being purchased by each
Purchaser hereunder, when issued, sold, and delivered in accordance
with the terms of this Agreement for the consideration expressed
herein, will be duly and validly issued, fully paid, and

the Company to issue or execute any such rights, options, warrants,
preemptive rights, or rights of first offer.  There are no
outstanding rights or obligations of the Company to repurchase or
redeem any of its securities.

 

2.14 Private

Purchaser set forth in Section 3 hereof are true and
correct, the offer, sale, and issuance of the Securities in
conformity with the terms of this Agreement are exempt from the
registration requirements of Section 5 of the Securities Act, and
all applicable state securities Laws. Neither the Company nor any

such rights shall not include access to material nonpublic
technical information in the Company's possession nor any
involvement in substantive decision making with respect to the

3.8 Purchases by Affiliates of the Company
and the Placement Agent. The Purchaser acknowledges and
understands that the Company reserves the right (but is not
obligated) to have its officers, directors, employees and
affiliates and other persons who will receive fees or other
compensation or gain dependent upon the success of this offering,
including, without limitation, the Placement Agent and its
employees, associated persons, and affiliates to purchase Shares in
this offering and that such purchases may be made at any time. The
Purchaser does not expect that the sale(s) of Shares in this
offering indicates that such sale(s) have been made to investors
who have no financial or other interest in this offering or who
otherwise are exercising independent investment discretion. The
Purchaser acknowledges and understands that there may be
substantial purchases by officers, directors, employees and
affiliates of the Company or by other persons who will receive fees
or other compensation or gain dependent upon the success of this
offering and, as such, the Purchaser represents and warrants that
the Purchaser is not placing any reliance on the sale of Shares to
other investors in this offering as an indication of the merits of
this offering. The Purchaser understands and acknowledges that no
minimum number or dollar amount of the Shares must be sold in

limitation, the Initial Closing. Each Purchaser acknowledges and
agrees that such Purchaser has made its own investment decision as

regarding: (A) the use, development, acquisition, safekeeping, or
release of “sensitive personal data” of U.S. citizens
maintained or collected by the Company; (B) the use, development,
acquisition, or release of any “critical technology”;
or (C) the management, operation, manufacture, or supply of
“covered investment critical infrastructure.” To the
extent that any term in this Agreement would afford any of the
foregoing to such Non-U.S. Investor contrary to the intent of each
Non-U.S. Investor and the Company as expressed herein, such term
shall have no effect as to the Non-U.S. Investor. Additionally, for
the avoidance of doubt, in the event that any Non-U.S. Investor is
afforded any information and/or inspection rights pursuant to
written agreements with the Company, such rights shall not include
access to material nonpublic technical information in the
Company’s possession nor any involvement in substantive

case, except where the failure of such representations and
warranties to be so true and correct (without giving effect to any

6. Indemnification.

 

(a) Indemnification by the Company.
The Company agrees to indemnify the Purchasers and their
Representatives (collectively, “Purchaser Related
Parties”) from, and hold each of them harmless
against, any and all actions, suits, proceedings (including any
investigations, litigation or inquiries), demands, and causes of
action, and, in connection therewith, and promptly upon demand, pay
or reimburse each of them for all costs, losses, liabilities,
damages, or expenses of any kind or nature whatsoever, including,
without limitation, the reasonable fees and disbursements of
counsel and all other reasonable expenses (collectively,
“Losses”) incurred in
connection with investigating, defending or preparing to defend any
such matter that may be incurred by them or asserted against or
involve any of them as a result of, arising out of, or in any way
related to the breach of any of the representations, warranties or
covenants of the Company contained herein, provided that such claim
for indemnification relating to a breach of the representations or
warranties is made prior to the expiration of such representations
or warranties.

 

(b) Indemnification by the
Purchasers. Each Purchaser severally agrees to indemnify the
Company and its Representatives (collectively, “Company Related Parties”)
from, and hold each of them harmless against, any and all actions,
suits, proceedings (including any investigations, litigation or
inquiries), demands, and causes of action, and, in connection
therewith, and promptly upon demand, pay or reimburse each of them
for all Losses incurred in connection with investigating, defending
or preparing to defend any such matter that may be incurred by them
or asserted against or involve any of them as a result of, arising
out of, or in any way related to the breach of any of the
representations, warranties or covenants of such Purchaser
contained herein, provided that such claim for indemnification
relating to a breach of the representations and warranties is made
prior to the expiration of such representations and warranties.
Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, (i) no Purchaser
shall be liable for the acts, omission or breaches of any other
Purchaser under or with respect to this Agreement or the
transactions contemplated hereby, and (ii) each Purchaser’s
aggregate liability for Losses under this Section 6(b) shall not exceed
the aggregate purchase price payable by such Purchaser to the
Company for it Securities under this Agreement, except in the case
of fraud or willful misconduct by such Purchaser.

 

(c) Indemnification Procedure.
Promptly after any Company Related Party or Purchaser Related Party
(hereinafter, the “Indemnified Party”) has
received notice of any indemnifiable claim hereunder, or the
commencement of any action, suit or proceeding by a third Person,
which the Indemnified Party believes in good faith is an
indemnifiable claim under this Agreement, the Indemnified Party
shall give the indemnitor hereunder (the “Indemnifying Party”)
written notice of such claim or the commencement of such action,
suit or proceeding, but failure to so notify the Indemnifying Party
will not relieve the Indemnifying Party from any liability it may
have to such Indemnified Party hereunder except to the extent that
the Indemnifying Party is materially prejudiced by such failure.
Such notice shall state the nature and the basis of such claim to
the extent then known. The Indemnifying Party shall have the right
to defend and settle, at its own expense and by its own counsel who
shall be reasonably acceptable to the Indemnified Party, any such
matter as long as the Indemnifying Party pursues the same
diligently and in good faith. If the Indemnifying Party undertakes
to defend or settle, it shall promptly notify the Indemnified Party
of its intention to do so, and the Indemnified Party shall
cooperate with the Indemnifying Party and its counsel in all
commercially reasonable respects in the defense thereof and the
settlement thereof. Such cooperation shall include, but shall not
be limited to, furnishing the Indemnifying Party with any books,
records and other information reasonably requested by the
Indemnifying Party and in the Indemnified Party’s possession
or control. Such cooperation of the Indemnified Party shall be at
the cost of the Indemnifying Party. After the Indemnifying Party
has notified the Indemnified Party of its intention to undertake to
defend or settle any such asserted liability, and for so long as
the Indemnifying Party diligently pursues such defense, the
Indemnifying Party shall not be liable for any additional legal
expenses incurred by the Indemnified Party in connection with any
defense or settlement of such asserted liability; provided,
however, that the Indemnified Party shall be entitled (a) at its
expense, to participate in the defense of such asserted liability
and the negotiations of the settlement thereof and (b) if (i) the
Indemnifying Party has failed to assume the defense or employ
counsel reasonably acceptable to the Indemnified Party or (ii) if
the defendants in any such action include both the Indemnified
Party and the Indemnifying Party and counsel to the Indemnified
Party shall have concluded that there may be reasonable defenses
available to the Indemnified Party that are different from or in
addition to those available to the Indemnifying Party or if the
interests of the Indemnified Party reasonably may be deemed to
conflict with the interests of the Indemnifying Party, then the
Indemnified Party shall have the right to select a separate counsel
and to assume such legal defense and otherwise to participate in
the defense of such action, with the expenses and fees of such
separate counsel and other expenses related to such participation
to be reimbursed by the Indemnifying Party as incurred.
Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement, the
Indemnifying Party shall not settle any indemnified claim without
the consent of the Indemnified Party, unless the settlement thereof
imposes no liability or obligation on, and includes a complete
release from liability of, and does not include any admission of
wrongdoing or malfeasance by, the Indemnified Party.

liability or asserted liability) for which each Purchaser or any of
its officers, employees, or representatives is responsible. The

any liability for any commission or compensation in the nature
of a finder’s or broker’s fee arising out of this

warranties set forth in Section 3, and each such
Permitted Transferee shall be entitled to the full benefit and be

with its specific terms or was otherwise breached. It is
accordingly agreed that the parties hereto shall be entitled to an

of such provision to Persons or circumstances other than those as
to which it has been held invalid, illegal, void, or unenforceable,

way be affected, impaired, or invalidated thereby. Upon such
determination that any provision, or the application of any such
provision, is invalid, illegal, void, or unenforceable, the parties
hereto shall negotiate in good faith to modify this Agreement so as
to effect the original intent of the parties hereto as closely as
possible to the fullest extent permitted by Law in an acceptable
manner to the end that the transactions contemplated hereby are

7.15 Independent
Nature of Purchasers’ Obligations and Rights. The
obligations of each Purchaser under this Agreement and the
Registration Rights Agreement (together, the “Transaction Documents”)
are several and not joint with the obligations of any other
Purchaser, and no Purchaser shall be responsible in any way for the
performance of the obligations of any other Purchaser under any
Transaction Document. The decision of each Purchaser to purchase
Securities pursuant to the Transaction Documents has been made by
such Purchaser independently of any other Purchaser and
independently of any information, materials, statements or opinions
as to the business, affairs, operations, assets, properties,
liabilities, results of operations, condition (financial or
otherwise) or prospects of the Company or any Subsidiary which may
have been made or given by any other Purchaser or by any agent or
employee of any other Purchaser, and no Purchaser and any of its
agents or employees shall have any liability to any other Purchaser
(or any other Person) relating to or arising from any such
information, materials, statement or opinions. Nothing contained
herein or in any Transaction Document, and no action taken by any
Purchaser pursuant thereto, shall be deemed to constitute the
Purchasers as a partnership, an association, a joint venture or any
other kind of entity, or create a presumption that the Purchasers
are in any way acting in concert or as a group with respect to such
obligations or the transactions contemplated by the Transaction
Documents. Each Purchaser acknowledges that no other Purchaser has
acted as agent for such Purchaser in connection with making its
investment hereunder and that no Purchaser will be acting as agent
of such Purchaser in connection with monitoring its investment in
the Securities or enforcing its rights under the Transaction
Documents. Each Purchaser shall be entitled to independently
protect and enforce its rights, including without limitation the
rights arising out of the Transaction Documents, and it shall not
be necessary for any other Purchaser to be joined as an additional
party in any proceeding for such purpose. The Company acknowledges
that each of the Purchasers has been provided with the same
Transaction Documents for the purpose of closing a transaction with
multiple Purchasers and not because it was required or requested to
do so by any Purchaser. The Company’s obligations to each
Purchaser under this Agreement are identical to its obligations to
each other Purchaser other than such differences resulting solely
from the number of Shares purchased by such Purchaser, but
regardless of whether such obligations are memorialized herein or
in another agreement between the Company and a
Purchaser.

 

7.16 Counterparts.
This Agreement may be executed in any number of counterparts and
signatures may be delivered by facsimile or in electronic format
(e.g., “PDF”), each of which may be executed by less
than all parties hereto, each of which shall be enforceable against
the parties hereto actually executing such counterparts, and all of
which together shall constitute one instrument.
