ULURU Inc.

 

Secured Convertible Promissory Note

 

 

Issuance Date: June 27, 2012 U.S. $2,210,000.00

 

This Secured Convertible Promissory Note (this “Note”) is issued pursuant to the terms of that certain Securities Purchase Agreement of even date herewith entered into between the Company (as defined below) and the Holder (as defined below).

 

FOR VALUE RECEIVED, ULURU Inc., a Nevada corporation (the “Company”), hereby promises to pay to the order of Inter-Mountain Capital Corp., a Delaware corporation, or its registered assigns (the “Holder”), the initial principal sum of $2,210,000.00 (the “Original Principal Amount”), and any additional advances and other amounts that may accrue under the terms of this Note as set forth herein when due, whether upon the Maturity Date, on any Installment Date with respect to the Installment Amount due on such Installment Date (each as defined below), acceleration, redemption or otherwise (in each case in accordance with the terms hereof) and to pay interest (“Interest”) on any Outstanding Balance (as defined below) at the applicable interest rate from the date set forth above as the Issuance Date (the “Issuance Date”) until the same becomes due and payable, whether upon any Installment Date, the Maturity Date or acceleration, conversion, redemption or otherwise (in each case in accordance with the terms hereof). Certain capitalized terms used herein are defined in Section 28.  For purposes hereof, the term “Outstanding Balance” means the Original Principal Amount, as reduced or increased, as the case may be, pursuant to the terms hereof for redemption, conversion or otherwise, plus any accrued but unpaid Interest, collection and enforcements costs, and any other fees or charges (including without limitation Late Charges (as defined below)) incurred under this Note or under the Purchase Agreement.

 

1. PAYMENTS OF PRINCIPAL; PREPAYMENT. On each Installment Date (which includes the Maturity Date), the Company shall pay to the Holder an amount equal to the Installment Amount due on such Installment Date in accordance with Section 8. Additionally, so long as no Event of Default (as defined below) shall have occurred, the Company may, in its sole and absolute discretion and upon giving the Holder not less than five (5) Trading Days written notice (a “Prepayment Notice”), pay in cash all or any portion of the Outstanding Balance at any time prior to the Maturity Date, provided that in the event the Company elects to prepay all or any portion of the Outstanding Balance, it shall pay to the Holder 120% of the portion of the Outstanding Balance the Company elects to prepay. If the Company elects to prepay the Note and all other notes issued under the Purchase Agreement in full, the Outstanding Balance of this Note shall be deemed to be the amount by which the Outstanding Balance of this Note exceeds the outstanding balance of all Buyer Notes and Buyer Trust Deed Notes (as defined in the Purchase Agreement).  Upon paying 120% of such Outstanding Balance, this Note, and all Buyer Notes and Buyer Trust Deed Notes shall be deemed to be paid in full.

 

2. INTEREST; INTEREST RATE. The Company acknowledges that the Original Principal Amount of this Note exceeds the Purchase Price (as defined in the Purchase Agreement) and that such excess is (a) the original issue discount and (b) $10,000 of unpaid Transaction Expenses (as defined in the Purchase Agreement), both of which shall be fully earned and charged to the Company as of the Issuance Date and paid to the Holder as part of the Original Principal Amount as set forth in this Note.  Without regard to Conversion Eligible Tranches (as defined below), Interest on the Outstanding Balance of this Note shall accrue at the rate of eight percent (8%) per annum, provided that upon the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default, Interest shall accrue on the Outstanding Balance at the rate of eighteen percent (18%) per annum as set forth in Section 4.2(c). All Interest calculations hereunder shall be computed on the basis of a 360-day year comprised of twelve (12) thirty (30) day months and shall be payable in accordance with the terms of this Note.  Notwithstanding any provision to the contrary herein, in no event shall the applicable interest rate at any time exceed the maximum interest rate allowed under applicable law. All payments owing hereunder shall be in lawful money of the United States of America or Conversion Shares, as provided for herein, and delivered to Holder at the address furnished to the Company 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.

 

3. CONVERSION OF NOTE. This Note shall be convertible at the option of the Holder into validly issued, fully paid and non-assessable shares of Common Stock, on the terms and conditions set forth in this Section 3.

 

3.1. Conversion Right.

 

(a) Subject to the provisions of Section 3.4, at any time or times on or after the Issuance Date, the Holder shall be entitled to convert any portion of the Outstanding Balance into validly issued, fully paid and non-assessable shares of Common Stock (the “Section 3 Conversion Shares”) in accordance with Section 3.3, calculated using the Conversion Rate (as defined below); provided, however, that, notwithstanding any other provision contained in this Note, the conversion by the Holder of any portion of the Outstanding Balance shall only be exercisable in seven (7) tranches (each, a “Tranche”), consisting of (i) an initial Tranche in an amount equal to $710,000.00 and any interest, costs, fees or charges (including without limitation Late Charges) accrued thereon or added thereto under the terms of this Note and the other Transaction Documents (“Tranche #1”), and (ii) six (6) additional Tranches, each in the amount of $250,000 and any interest, costs, fees or charges (including without limitation Late Charges) accrued thereon or added thereto under the terms of this Note and the other Transaction Documents (each, a “Subsequent Tranche”). Tranche #1 shall correspond to the Initial Cash Purchase Price (as defined in the Purchase Agreement), the OID and $10,000 of Transaction Expenses (as defined in the Purchase Agreement), and may be converted any time subsequent to the Issuance Date.  The first Subsequent Tranche shall correspond to Buyer Trust Deed Note #1, the second Subsequent Tranche shall correspond to Buyer Trust Deed Note #2, the third Subsequent Tranche shall correspond to Buyer Trust Deed Note #3, the fourth Subsequent Tranche shall correspond to Buyer Note #1, the fifth Subsequent Tranche shall correspond to Buyer Note #2, and the sixth Subsequent Tranche shall correspond to Buyer Note #3 (as each such Buyer Trust Deed Note and Buyer Note is defined in the Purchase Agreement).  The Holder’s right to convert any portion of any of the Subsequent Tranches is conditioned upon the Holder’s payment in full of the Buyer Trust Deed Note or Buyer Note corresponding to such Subsequent Tranche (upon the satisfaction of such condition, such Subsequent Tranche becomes a “Conversion Eligible Tranche”). For the avoidance of doubt, subject to the other terms and conditions hereof, Tranche #1 shall be deemed a Conversion Eligible Tranche as of the Issuance Date for all purposes hereunder and may be converted in whole or in part at any time subsequent to the Issuance Date, and each Subsequent Tranche that becomes a Conversion Eligible Tranche may be converted in whole or in part at any time subsequent to the first date on which such Subsequent Tranche becomes a Conversion Eligible Tranche.  For all purposes hereunder, Conversion Eligible Tranches shall be converted (or redeemed, as applicable) in order of the lowest-numbered Conversion Eligible Tranche.  At all times hereunder, the aggregate amount of any costs, fees or charges (including without limitation Late Charges) incurred by or assessable against the Company hereunder, including, without limitation, any fees, charges or premiums incurred in connection with an Event of Default, shall be added to the lowest-numbered then-current Conversion Eligible Tranche.

 

(b) The Company shall not issue any fraction of a share of Common Stock upon any conversion. All shares issuable upon each conversion of this Note shall be aggregated for purposes of determining whether such conversion would result in the issuance of a fractional share.  If the issuance would result in the issuance of a fraction of a share of Common Stock, the Company shall round such fraction of a share of Common Stock up to the nearest whole share. The Company shall pay any and all transfer, stamp, issuance and similar taxes that may be payable with respect to the issuance and delivery of Section 3 Conversion Shares.

 

3.2. Conversion Rate. The number of Section 3 Conversion Shares issuable upon conversion of any portion of the Outstanding Balance pursuant to Section 3.1(a) shall be determined by dividing (x) the applicable Conversion Amount by (y) the Conversion Price (such formula being referred to herein as the “Conversion Rate”).

 

(a) “Conversion Amount” means the portion of the Outstanding Balance to be converted, redeemed or otherwise with respect to which this determination is being made.

 

(b) “Conversion Price” means, as of any Conversion Date or other date of determination, $0.35, subject to adjustment as provided herein.

 

3.3. Mechanics of Conversion.

 

(a) Conversion Prior to Maturity Date. To convert any Conversion Amount into shares of Common Stock on any date, the Holder shall deliver (whether via email, facsimile or otherwise), for receipt on or prior to 11:59 p.m., New York time, on such date (the “Conversion Date”), a copy of an executed notice of conversion substantially in the form attached hereto as Exhibit A (the “Conversion Notice”) to the Company together with, at any time the resale of the Section 3 Conversion Shares is not registered under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”), a legal opinion with respect to the issuance of such shares without restrictive legend. If required by Section 3.3(c), within three (3) Trading Days following a conversion of this Note as aforesaid, the Holder shall surrender this Note to a nationally recognized overnight delivery service for delivery to the Company (or an indemnification undertaking with respect to this Note in the case of its loss, theft or destruction as contemplated by Section 15.2). On or before the first (1st) Trading Day following the date of receipt of a Conversion Notice, the Company shall transmit by facsimile or email an acknowledgment of confirmation, in the form attached hereto as Exhibit B, of receipt of such Conversion Notice to the Holder and the Company’s transfer agent (the “Transfer Agent”). On or before the close of business on the third (3rd) Trading Day following the date of receipt of a Conversion Notice (the “Delivery Date”), the Company shall (1) provided that the Company is DWAC Eligible, credit the aggregate number of Section 3 Conversion Shares to which the Holder shall be entitled to the account specified on the Conversion Notice via the DWAC system, or (2) if the Company is not DWAC Eligible, issue and deliver (via reputable overnight courier) to the address as specified in the Conversion Notice, a certificate, registered in the name of the Holder or its designee, for the number of Section 3 Conversion Shares to which the Holder shall be entitled; provided, however, that, in addition to any other rights or remedies that Holder may have under this Note, such number of shares shall be increased by 5% for each conversion under this Section 3.3(a)(2) that occurs more than six (6) months after the Issuance Date if, as of such time, the Section 3 Conversion Shares can be issued without restrictive legend. If this Note is physically surrendered for conversion pursuant to Section 3.3(c) and the Outstanding Balance of this Note is greater than the principal portion of the Conversion Amount being converted, then the Company shall as soon as practicable and in no event later than three (3) Trading Days after receipt of this Note and at its own expense, issue and deliver to the Holder (or its designee) a new Note (in accordance with Section 15.4)) representing the Outstanding Balance not converted. The Person or Persons entitled to receive the shares of Common Stock issuable upon a conversion of this Note shall be treated for all purposes as the record holder or holders of such shares of Common Stock on the Conversion Date. In the event of a partial conversion of this Note pursuant hereto, the principal amount converted shall be deducted from the Conversion Eligible Tranche(s) and  Installment Payment(s) set forth in the applicable Conversion Notice.

 

(b) Company’s Failure to Timely Deliver. Failure for any reason whatsoever to issue any portion of the Section 3 Conversion Shares to Holder by the applicable Delivery Date in the manner required under this Note shall be a “Conversion Failure.”  Upon the occurrence of a Conversion Failure, in addition to all other remedies available to the Holder, (1) the Company shall pay in cash to the Holder on each day after such third (3rd) Trading Day that the issuance of such shares of Common Stock is not timely effected an amount equal to the greater of (A) $2,000.00 per day until such shares of Common Stock shall be delivered to Holder, and (B) 2% of the product of (i) the sum of the number of Section 3 Conversion Shares not issued to the Holder on a timely basis and to which the Holder is entitled multiplied by (ii) the Closing Sale Price of the Common Stock on the Trading Day immediately preceding the last possible date which the Company could have issued such shares of Common Stock to the Holder without violating Section3.3(a); and (2) the Holder, upon written notice to the Company, may void its Conversion Notice with respect to, and retain or have returned (as the case may be) any portion of this Note that has not been converted pursuant to such Conversion Notice, provided that the voiding of a Conversion Notice shall not affect the Company’s obligations to make any payments which have accrued or are owed to the Holder prior to the date of such notice pursuant to this Section 3.3(b) or otherwise.  Notwithstanding the foregoing, a Conversion Failure shall not exist to the extent Section 3 Conversion Shares are not issued by the Company in order to comply with the limitations set forth in Section 3.4 hereof.  Upon the occurrence of a Conversion Failure (unless Holder elects to void the Conversion Notice), in addition to such failure being considered an Event of Default hereunder, for purposes of Section 7.1, the Company shall also be deemed to have issued the Section 3 Conversion Shares to Holder on the applicable date and pursuant to the terms set forth in this Section 3, with Holder entitled to all the rights and privileges associated with such deemed issued shares (the “Deemed Conversion Issuance”). 

 

(c) Registration; Book-Entry. The Company shall maintain a register (the “Register”) for the recordation of the name and address of the holders of all or any portion of the Note and the principal amount of the Note held by such holder (the “Registered Note”). The entries in the Register shall be conclusive and binding for all purposes absent manifest error. The Company and the holder shall treat each Person whose name is recorded in the Register as the owner of the Note for all purposes (including, without limitation, the right to receive payments of principal and Interest hereunder) notwithstanding notice to the contrary. The Registered Note may be assigned, transferred or sold in whole or in part only by registration of such assignment or sale on the Register. The Registered Note shall not be assigned, transferred or sold without the prior written consent of the Company, which shall not be unreasonably withheld; provided, however, that Holder may assign, transfer or sell the Registered Note without the need to obtain the consent of the Company if all of the Buyer Notes and Buyer Trust Deed Notes (as both such terms are defined in the Purchase Agreement) have been paid in full or all payment obligations of the Holder thereunder have otherwise been completely offset and satisfied pursuant to the Holder Offset Right.  Upon its receipt of a request to assign, transfer or sell all or part of the Registered Note by the holder thereof, accompanied by a legal opinion with respect to the legality of such transfer under the Securities Act (and to the extent required, to the extent consented to by the Company), the Company shall record the information contained therein in the Register and issue one or more new Registered Notes in the same aggregate principal amount as the principal amount of the surrendered Registered Note to the designated assignee or transferee pursuant to Section 15. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Section 3.3(c), the Holder may assign this Note or any portion thereof to its Affiliate without delivering a request to assign or sell this Note to the Company and the recordation of such assignment or sale in the Register (a “Related Party Assignment”); provided, that (A) the Company may continue to deal solely with such assigning or selling Holder unless and until such Holder has delivered a request to assign or sell the Note or portion thereof to the Company for recordation in the Register; (B) the failure of such assigning or selling Holder to deliver a request to assign or sell such Note or portion thereof to the Company shall not affect the legality, validity, or binding effect of such assignment or sale; and (C) such assigning or selling Holder shall, acting solely for this purpose as a non-fiduciary agent of the Company, maintain a register (the “Related Party Register”) comparable to the Register on behalf of the Company, and any such assignment or sale shall be effective upon recordation of such assignment or sale in the Related Party Register.  Notwithstanding anything to the contrary set forth in this Section 3, upon conversion of any portion of this Note in accordance with the terms hereof, the Holder shall not be required to physically surrender this Note to the Company unless (A) the entire Outstanding Balance of this Note is being converted (in which event this Note shall be delivered to the Company as contemplated by Section 3.3(a)) or (B) the Holder has provided the Company with prior written notice (which notice may be included in a Conversion Notice) requesting reissuance of this Note upon physical surrender of this Note. The Holder and the Company shall maintain records showing the Outstanding Balance and Late Charges converted and/or paid (as the case may be) and the dates of such conversions and/or payments (as the case may be) or shall use such other method, reasonably satisfactory to the Holder and the Company, so as not to require physical surrender of this Note upon conversion.

 

3.4. Limitations on Conversions.

 

(a) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Note, this Note shall not be convertible by the Holder hereof, and the Company shall not effect any conversion of this Note or otherwise issue any shares of Common Stock pursuant to Section 3 or Section 8 hereof, to the extent (but only to the extent) that the Holder together with any of its Affiliates would beneficially own in excess of 4.99% (the “Maximum Percentage”) of the Common Stock outstanding.  Notwithstanding the forgoing, at such times that the Market Capitalization of the Common Stock is less than Three Million and 00/100 Dollars ($3,000,000.00), the term “4.99%” shall be replaced in the preceding sentence with “9.99%”.  For purposes of this Agreement, the term “Market Capitalization of the Common Stock” shall mean the product equal to (i) the average VWAP of the Common Stock for the immediately preceding thirty (30) Trading Days, multiplied by (ii) the aggregate number of outstanding shares of Common Stock as reported on the Company’s most recently filed Form 10-Q or Form 10-K.

 

(b) To the extent the limitation set forth in subsection (a) applies, the determination of whether this Note shall be convertible (vis-à-vis other convertible, exercisable or exchangeable securities owned by the Holder or any of its Affiliates) and of which such securities shall be convertible, exercisable or exchangeable (as among all such securities owned by the Holder and its Affiliates) shall, subject to such Maximum Percentage limitation, be determined on the basis of the first submission to the Company for conversion, exercise or exchange (as the case may be). No prior inability to convert this Note, or to issue shares of Common Stock, pursuant to this Section 3.4 shall have any effect on the applicability of the provisions of this Section 3.4 with respect to any subsequent determination of convertibility. For purposes of this Section 3.4, beneficial ownership and all determinations and calculations (including, without limitation, with respect to calculations of percentage ownership) shall be determined in accordance with Section 13(e) of the 1934 Act (as defined in the Purchase Agreement) and the rules and regulations promulgated thereunder. The provisions of this Section 3.4 shall be implemented in a manner otherwise than in strict conformity with the terms of this Section 3.4 to correct this Section 3.4 (or any portion hereof) which may be defective or inconsistent with the intended Maximum Percentage beneficial ownership limitation herein contained or to make changes or supplements necessary or desirable to properly give effect to such Maximum Percentage limitation. The limitations contained in this Section 3.4 shall apply to a successor Holder of this Note. The holders of Common Stock shall be third party beneficiaries of this Section 3.4 and the Company may not waive this Section 3.4 without the consent of holders of a majority of its Common Stock. For any reason at any time, upon the written or oral request of the Holder, the Company shall within one (1) Trading Day confirm orally and in writing to the Holder the number of shares of Common Stock then outstanding, including by virtue of any prior conversion or exercise of convertible or exercisable securities into Common Stock, including, without limitation, pursuant to this Note.

 

4. RIGHTS UPON EVENT OF DEFAULT.

 

4.1. Event of Default. Each of the following events shall constitute an “Event of Default”:

 

(a) Failure to Pay. The Company shall fail to make any payment when due and payable under the terms of this Note including, without limitation, any payment of costs, fees, interest, principal (including, without limitation, the Company’s failure to deliver any Installment Amount when due or to pay any redemption payments or amounts hereunder), or other amount due hereunder or under any other Transaction Document (as defined in the Purchase Agreement).

A final judgment or judgments for the payment of money aggregating in excess of $100,000 are rendered against the Company and/or any of its Subsidiaries and which judgments are not, within thirty (30) calendar days after the entry thereof, bonded, discharged or stayed pending appeal, or are not discharged within thirty (30) calendar days after the expiration of such stay; provided, however, any judgment which is covered by insurance or an indemnity from a credit worthy party shall not be included in calculating the $100,000 amount set forth above so long as the Company provides the Holder a written statement from such insurer or indemnity provider (which written statement shall be reasonably satisfactory to the Holder) to the effect that such judgment is covered by insurance or an indemnity and the Company or such Subsidiary (as the case may be) will receive the proceeds of such insurance or indemnity within thirty (30) calendar days of the issuance of such judgment.

 

(d) Breach of Obligations; Covenants. The Holder or its Subsidiaries, if any, shall fail to observe or perform any other covenant, obligation, condition or agreement contained in this Note or any of the other Transaction Documents, including without limitation (i) all reporting covenants and covenants to timely file all required quarterly and annual reports and any other filings required pursuant to Rule 144, and (ii) strict compliance with all provisions of Sections 3, 8, 10 and 12 of this Note.

(k) Cessation of Operations. Any cessation of operations by the Company or the Company admits it is otherwise generally unable to pay its debts as such debts become due; provided, however, that any disclosure of the Company’s ability to continue as a “going concern” shall not be an admission that the Company cannot pay its debts as they become due.

 

(l) Maintenance of Assets. The failure by the Company to maintain any material intellectual property rights, personal, real property or other assets which are necessary to conduct its business (whether now or in the future).

 

(m) Financial Statement Restatement. The restatement of any financial statements filed by the Company with the SEC for any date or period from two years prior to the date of this Note and until this Note is no longer outstanding, if the result of such restatement would, by comparison to the unrestated financial statement, have constituted a material adverse effect on the rights of the Company with respect to this Note or the Purchase Agreement.

Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Note or the other Transaction Documents, a breach or default by the Company of any covenant or other term or condition contained in (i) any of the other Transaction Documents, or (ii) any Other Agreements (defined below); shall, at the option of the Holder, be considered a default under this Note, in which event the Holder shall be entitled (but in no event required) to apply all rights and remedies of the Holder under the terms of this Note. The Company hereby agrees to notify the Holder in writing within three (3) Trading Days after any such default; provided, however, any filing of an 8-K that identifies any such default shall not be deemed notice under this Section 4.1(t). “Other Agreements” means, collectively, (1) all existing and future agreements and instruments between, among or by the Company (or a Subsidiary), on the one hand, and the Holder (or an Affiliate of Holder), on the other hand, or (2) any financing agreement or a material agreement that affects the Company’s ongoing business operations.  For the avoidance of doubt, all existing and future loan transactions between the Company and the Holder and its Affiliates will be cross-defaulted with each other loan transaction and with all other existing and future debt of the Company to the Holder.

 

 

Each subsection of this Section 4.1 shall be interpreted and applied independently, and no such subsection shall be deemed to limit or qualify any other subsection in any manner whatsoever.

 

4.2. Notice of an Event of Default; Redemption Right.

 

(a) Upon the occurrence of an Event of Default, the Company shall within one (1) Trading Day deliver written notice thereof via facsimile and overnight courier (with next day delivery specified) (an “Event of Default Notice”) to the Holder.

 

(b) At any time and from time to time (i) after the fifteenth (15th) day following the earlier of the Holder’s receipt of an Event of Default Notice pertaining to any Event of Default occurring under any of Sections 4.1(c), (d), (e), (i), (l), (p) or (s) above, and the Holder becoming aware of any such Event of Default, if such Event of Default is not cured by such fifteenth (15th) day, or (ii) after the earlier of the Holder’s receipt of an Event of Default Notice pertaining to any Event of Default occurring under any provision of Section 4.1 not specifically referenced immediately above in this Section 4.2(b), and the Holder becoming aware of any such Event of Default, the Holder may require the Company to redeem (regardless of whether such Event of Default has been cured) all or any portion of this Note (the “Event of Default Redemption Right”) by delivering written notice thereof (the “Event of Default Redemption Notice”) to the Company, which Event of Default Redemption Notice shall indicate the portion of the Outstanding Balance the Holder is electing to redeem (the “Default Redemption Amount”).  Each portion of this Note subject to the Event of Redemption Right shall be redeemed by the Company at a price equal to the Event of Default Redemption Price (as defined below); provided, however, that, notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, in connection with Holder exercising its Event of Default Redemption Right, the Holder shall only be entitled to require the Company to redeem all or any portion of any then-current Conversion Eligible Tranche(s) (and calculate and pay the Event of Default Redemption Price with respect thereto), except to the extent the Holder exercises any right of offset under the Buyer Trust Deed Notes (as defined in the Purchase Agreement) or the Buyer Notes (as defined in the Purchase Agreement) (“Holder Offset Right”) in connection with exercising its Event of Default Redemption Right, in which case the Holder may also require the Company to redeem all or any portion of this Note in excess of the amount of the then-current Conversion Eligible Tranches to the extent the Holder applies the Holder Offset Right with respect to such excess (with respect to which the Event of Default Redemption Price shall also be calculated and either offset pursuant to the Holder Offset Right (to the extent possible), or otherwise paid pursuant to the terms hereof).  The “Event of Default Redemption Price” shall equal the Default Redemption Amount multiplied by the Redemption Premium; provided, however, that the Redemption Premium may only be applied in computing the Event of Default Redemption Price with respect to the first two Events of Default under this Agreement, and not to any subsequent Events of Default.  Redemptions required by this Section 4.2(b) shall be made in accordance with the provisions of Section 10. To the extent redemptions required by this Section 4.2(b) are deemed or determined by a court of competent jurisdiction to be prepayments of this Note by the Company, such redemptions shall be deemed to be voluntary prepayments, but such deemed voluntary prepayments shall not be subject to the prepayment provision in  Section 1 hereof. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Section 4, but subject to Sections 3.1(a) and 3.4, until the Event of Default Redemption Price (together with Late Charges thereon) is paid in full, the Outstanding Balance, including the Event of Default Redemption Price (together with any Late Charges thereon), may be converted, in whole or in part, by the Holder into Common Stock pursuant to the other terms of this Note.  In the event of a partial redemption of this Note pursuant hereto, the applicable Default Redemption Amount shall be deducted from the Tranches and Installment Payment(s) set forth in the Event of Default Redemption Notice.

 

(c) Upon the occurrence of any Event of Default, this Note (without regard to Conversion Eligible Tranches) shall then accrue interest at the rate of 1.5% per month (or 18% per annum), compounding daily, whether before or after judgment; provided, however, that notwithstanding any provision to the contrary herein, in no event shall the applicable interest rate at any time exceed the maximum interest rate allowed under applicable law.

 

(d) Notwithstanding any other provision to the contrary contained herein, upon the occurrence of an Event of Default occurring under Section 4.1(h) due to the institution by or against the Company of any bankruptcy proceeding for relief under any bankruptcy law or any law for the relief of debtors, without the need for any further notice or action by any party hereunder, the Company shall automatically be required to immediately redeem the entire Outstanding Balance of this Note at a price equal to such Outstanding Balance (without regard to Conversion Eligible Tranches) multiplied by the Redemption Premium.

 

5. RIGHTS UPON FUNDAMENTAL TRANSACTION.

 

5.1. Assumption. The Company shall not enter into or be party to a Fundamental Transaction unless (i) the Successor Entity assumes in writing all of the obligations of the Company under this Note and the other Transaction Documents in accordance with the provisions of this Section 5.1 pursuant to written agreements in form and substance satisfactory to the Holder and approved by the Holder, in its sole discretion, prior to such Fundamental Transaction, including agreements to deliver to the Holder in exchange for this Note a security of the Successor Entity evidenced by a written instrument substantially similar in form and substance to this Note, including, without limitation, having a principal amount and interest rate equal to the principal amounts then outstanding and the interest rates of this Note, having similar conversion rights as this Note and having similar ranking to this Note, and being satisfactory to the Holder in its sole discretion, and (ii) the Successor Entity is a publicly traded corporation whose common stock is quoted on or listed for trading on an Eligible Market. Upon the occurrence of any Fundamental Transaction, the Successor Entity shall succeed to, and be substituted for the Company under this Note (so that from and after the date of such Fundamental Transaction, the provisions of this Note and the other Transaction Documents referring to the “Company” shall refer instead to the Successor Entity), and may exercise every right and power of the Company and shall assume all of the obligations of the Company under this Note and the other Transaction Documents with the same effect as if such Successor Entity had been named as the Company herein. Upon consummation of a Fundamental Transaction, the Successor Entity shall deliver to the Holder confirmation that there shall be issued upon conversion or redemption of this Note at any time after the consummation of such Fundamental Transaction, in lieu of the shares of the Company’s Common Stock (or other securities, cash, assets or other property (except such items still issuable under Section 6, which shall continue to be receivable thereafter) issuable upon the conversion or redemption of this Note prior to such Fundamental Transaction), such shares of the publicly traded common stock (or their equivalent) of the Successor Entity (including its Parent Entity) which the Holder would have been entitled to receive upon the happening of such Fundamental Transaction had this Note been converted immediately prior to such Fundamental Transaction (without regard to any limitations on the conversion of this Note), as adjusted in accordance with the provisions of this Note. The provisions of this Section 5 shall apply similarly and equally to successive Fundamental Transactions and shall be applied without regard to any limitations on the conversion of this Note.

 

5.2. Notice of a Fundamental Transaction; Redemption Right. No later than ten (10) Trading Days prior to the consummation of a Fundamental Transaction (or if the Company is not party to such Fundamental Transaction, within one (1) Trading Day of the Company becoming aware of the same), but not prior to the public announcement of such Fundamental Transaction, the Company shall deliver written notice thereof via facsimile and overnight courier to the Holder (a “Fundamental Transaction Notice”). At any time during the period beginning after the Holder’s receipt of a Fundamental Transaction Notice or the Holder becoming aware of a Fundamental Transaction if a Fundamental Transaction Notice is not delivered to the Holder in accordance with the immediately preceding sentence (as applicable) and ending on the closing date of such Fundamental Transaction, the Holder may require the Company to redeem all or any portion of this Note (the “Fundamental Transaction Redemption Right”) by delivering written notice thereof (“Fundamental Transaction Redemption Notice”) to the Company, which Fundamental Transaction Redemption Notice shall indicate the portion of the Outstanding Balance the Holder is electing to redeem. The portion of this Note subject to redemption pursuant to this Section 5 shall be redeemed by the Company in cash at a price equal to the Redemption Premium multiplied by the amount being redeemed (the “Fundamental Transaction Redemption Price”); provided, however, that, notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, in connection with Holder exercising its Fundamental Transaction Right, the Holder shall only be entitled to require the Company to redeem all or any portion of any then-current Conversion Eligible Tranche(s) (and calculate and pay the Fundament Transaction Redemption Price with respect thereto), except to the extent the Holder exercises any Holder Offset Right in connection with exercising its Fundamental Transaction Redemption Right, in which case the Holder may also require the Company to redeem all or any portion of this Note in excess of the amount of the then-current Conversion Eligible Tranches to the extent the Holder applies the Holder Offset Right with respect to such excess (with respect to which the Fundament Transaction Redemption Price shall also be calculated and either offset pursuant to the Holder Offset Right (to the extent possible), or otherwise paid pursuant to the terms hereof).  Redemptions required by this Section 5 shall be made in accordance with the provisions of Section 10 and shall have priority to payments to stockholders in connection with such Fundamental Transaction. To the extent redemptions required by this Section 5.2 are deemed or determined by a court of competent jurisdiction to be prepayments of this Note by the Company, such redemptions shall be deemed to be voluntary prepayments, but not subject to the prepayment provision in Section 1 hereof. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Section 5, but subject to Sections 3.1(a) and 3.4, until the Fundamental Transaction Redemption Price (together with any Late Charges thereon) is paid in full (after giving effect to any applicable Holder Offset Right), the Outstanding Balance, including the Fundamental Transaction Redemption Price (together with any Late Charges thereon), may be converted, in whole or in part, by the Holder into Common Stock pursuant to Section 3. In the event of a partial redemption of this Note pursuant hereto, the principal amount redeemed shall be deducted from the Tranches and Installment Payment(s) set forth in the Fundamental Transaction Redemption Notice.

 

5.3. Paid in Full.  Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in Section 5, if the purchaser(s) in any such Fundamental Transaction have agreed to prepay this Note in full in the manner prescribed in Section 1 of this Note in connection with the consummation of the Fundamental Transaction (but with a prepayment premium of 125% rather than 120%), and provide notice to the Holder of such intent (which notice may be conditioned upon the closing of the Fundamental Transaction) at least ten (10) Trading Days prior to the consummation of the Fundamental Transaction, no consent of the Holder shall be required for the Company to enter into or be a party to a Fundamental Transaction, and prepayment of any Outstanding Balance in the manner described above in this Section 5.3 shall be permitted; provided, however, that unless otherwise pre-approved in writing by the Holder, in no case shall any Fundamental Transaction be consummated prior to such prepayment of this Note.  For the avoidance of any doubt, nothing in this Section 5.3 shall restrict the Holder’s ability to exercise its Fundamental Transaction Redemption Right pursuant to and in accordance with Section 5.2 above, notwithstanding any notice from any purchaser in any Fundamental Transaction that may be received by the Holder.

 

6. DISTRIBUTION OF ASSETS; RIGHTS UPON ISSUANCE OF PURCHASE RIGHTS AND OTHER CORPORATE EVENTS.

 

6.1. Distribution of Assets. Without the prior written consent of Holder, the Company agrees not to declare or make any dividend or other distributions of its assets (or rights to acquire its assets) to any or all holders of shares of Common Stock, by way of return of capital or otherwise (including, without limitation, any distribution of cash, stock or other securities, property or options by way of a dividend, spin off, reclassification, corporate rearrangement, scheme of arrangement or other similar transaction).

 

6.2. Purchase Rights. In addition to any adjustments pursuant to Section 7 below, if at any time the Company grants, issues or sells any Options, Convertible Securities or rights to purchase stock, warrants, securities or other property pro rata to the record holders of any class of Common Stock (the “Purchase Rights”), then the Holder will be entitled to acquire, upon the terms applicable to such Purchase Rights, the aggregate Purchase Rights which the Holder could have acquired if the Holder had held the number of shares of Common Stock acquirable upon complete conversion of all Conversion Eligible Tranches (without taking into account any other limitations or restrictions on the convertibility of this Note) in existence immediately before the date on which a record is taken for the grant, issuance or sale of such Purchase Rights, or, if no such record is taken, the date as of which the record holders of Common Stock are to be determined for the grant, issue or sale of such Purchase Rights (provided, however, to the extent that the Holder’s right to participate in any such Purchase Right would result in the Holder exceeding the Maximum Percentage, then the Holder shall not be entitled to participate in such Purchase Right to such extent (or beneficial ownership of such shares of Common Stock as a result of such Purchase Right to such extent) and such Purchase Right to such extent shall be held in abeyance for the Holder until such time, if ever, as its right thereto would not result in the Holder exceeding the Maximum Percentage).

 

6.3. Other Corporate Events. In addition to and not in substitution for any other rights hereunder, prior to the consummation of any Fundamental Transaction pursuant to which holders of shares of Common Stock are entitled to receive securities or other assets with respect to or in exchange for shares of Common Stock (a “Corporate Event”), the Company shall make appropriate provision to insure that the Holder will thereafter have the right to receive upon a conversion of this Note (i) in addition to the shares of Common Stock receivable upon such conversion, such securities or other assets to which the Holder would have been entitled with respect to such shares of Common Stock had such shares of Common Stock been held by the Holder upon the consummation of such Corporate Event (without taking into account any limitations or restrictions on the convertibility of this Note) or (ii) in lieu of the shares of Common Stock otherwise receivable upon such conversion, such securities or other assets received by the holders of shares of Common Stock in connection with the consummation of such Corporate Event in such amounts as the Holder would have been entitled to receive had this Note initially been issued with conversion rights for the form of such consideration (as opposed to shares of Common Stock) using a conversion rate for such consideration commensurate with the Conversion Rate. Provision made pursuant to the preceding sentence shall be in a form and substance satisfactory to the Holder. The provisions of this Section 6 shall apply similarly and equally to successive Corporate Events and shall be applied without regard to any limitations on the conversion or redemption of this Note.

 

7. RIGHTS UPON ISSUANCE OF SECURITIES.

 

7.1. Adjustment of Conversion Price upon Issuance of Common Stock. Except with respect to Excluded Securities, if and whenever on or after the Issuance Date the Company issues or sells Common Stock, Options, Convertible Securities, or in accordance with subsections (a) through (e) below is deemed to have issued or sold, any shares of Common Stock (including the issuance or sale of shares of Common Stock owned or held by or for the account of the Company, but excluding any Excluded Securities issued or sold or deemed to have been issued or sold) for a consideration per share (the “New Issuance Price”) less than a price equal to the Conversion Price in effect immediately prior to such issue, conversion, or sale or deemed issuance or sale (such Conversion Price then in effect is referred to herein as the “Applicable Price”) (the foregoing a “Dilutive Issuance”), then, immediately after such Dilutive Issuance, the Conversion Price then in effect shall be reduced to an amount equal to the New Issuance Price.  For the avoidance of doubt, if the New Issuance Price is greater than the Applicable Price, there shall be no adjustment to the Conversion Price. For purposes of determining the adjusted Conversion Price under this Section 7.1, the following shall be applicable:

 

(a) Issuance of Options. If the Company in any manner grants or sells any Options and the lowest price per share for which one share of Common Stock is issuable upon the exercise of any such Option or upon conversion, exercise or exchange of any Convertible Securities issuable upon exercise of any such Option is less than the Applicable Price, then such share of Common Stock shall be deemed to be outstanding and to have been issued and sold by the Company at the time of the granting or sale of such Option for such price per share. For purposes of this Section 7.1(a), the “lowest price per share for which one share of Common Stock is issuable upon the exercise of any such Options or upon conversion, exercise or exchange of any Convertible Securities issuable upon exercise of any such Option” shall be equal to (1) the lower of (x) the sum of the lowest amounts of consideration (if any) received or receivable by the Company with respect to any one share of Common Stock upon the granting or sale of such Option, upon exercise of such Option and upon conversion, exercise or exchange of any Convertible Security issuable upon exercise of such Option and (y) the lowest exercise price set forth in such Option for which one share of Common Stock is issuable upon the exercise of any such Options or upon conversion, exercise or exchange of any Convertible Securities issuable upon exercise of any such Option minus (2) the sum of all amounts paid or payable to the holder of such Option (or any other Person) upon the granting or sale of such Option, upon exercise of such Option and upon conversion, exercise or exchange of any Convertible Security issuable upon exercise of such Option plus the value of any other consideration received or receivable by, or benefit conferred on, the holder of such Option (or any other Person). Except as contemplated below, no further adjustment of the Conversion Price shall be made upon the actual issuance of such share of Common Stock or of such Convertible Securities upon the exercise of such Options or upon the actual issuance of such share of Common Stock upon conversion, exercise or exchange of such Convertible Securities.

 

(b) Issuance of Convertible Securities. If the Company in any manner issues or sells any Convertible Securities and the lowest price per share for which one share of Common Stock is issuable upon the conversion, exercise or exchange thereof is less than the Applicable Price, then such share of Common Stock shall be deemed to be outstanding and to have been issued and sold by the Company at the time of the issuance or sale of such Convertible Securities for such price per share. For the purposes of this Section 7.1(b), the “lowest price per share for which one share of Common Stock is issuable upon the conversion, exercise or exchange thereof” shall be equal to (1) the lower of (x) the sum of the lowest amounts of consideration (if any) received or receivable by the Company with respect to one share of Common Stock upon the issuance or sale of the Convertible Security and upon conversion, exercise or exchange of such Convertible Security and (y) the lowest conversion price set forth in such Convertible Security for which one share of Common Stock is issuable upon conversion, exercise or exchange thereof minus (2) the sum of all amounts paid or payable to the holder of such Convertible Security (or any other Person) upon the issuance or sale of such Convertible Security plus the value of any other consideration received or receivable by, or benefit conferred on, the holder of such Convertible Security (or any other Person). Except as contemplated below, no further adjustment of the Conversion Price shall be made upon the actual issuance of such share of Common Stock upon conversion, exercise or exchange of such Convertible Securities, and if any such issue or sale of such Convertible Securities is made upon exercise of any Options for which adjustment of the Conversion Price has been or is to be made pursuant to other provisions of this Section 7.1, except as contemplated below, no further adjustment of the Conversion Price shall be made by reason of such issue or sale.

 

(c) Change in Option Price or Rate of Conversion. If the purchase or exercise price provided for in any Options, the additional consideration, if any, payable upon the issue, conversion, exercise or exchange of any Convertible Securities, or the rate at which any Convertible Securities are convertible into or exercisable or exchangeable for shares of Common Stock increases or decreases at any time, the Conversion Price in effect at the time of such increase or decrease shall be adjusted to the Conversion Price which would have been in effect at such time had such Options or Convertible Securities provided for such increased or decreased purchase price, additional consideration or increased or decreased conversion rate (as the case may be) at the time initially granted, issued or sold. For purposes of this Section 7.1(c), if the terms of any Option or Convertible Security that was outstanding as of the Issuance Date are increased or decreased in the manner described in the immediately preceding sentence, then such Option or Convertible Security and the shares of Common Stock deemed issuable upon exercise, conversion or exchange thereof shall be deemed to have been issued as of the date of such increase or decrease. No adjustment pursuant to this Section 7.1 shall be made if such adjustment would result in an increase of the Conversion Price then in effect.

 

(d) Calculation of Consideration Received. If any Option or Convertible Security is issued or deemed issued in connection with the issuance or sale or deemed issuance or sale of any other securities of the Company, together comprising one integrated transaction, (x) such Option or Convertible Security (as applicable) will be deemed to have been issued for consideration equal to the Deemed Consideration Value thereof and (y) the other securities issued or sold or deemed to have been issued or sold in such integrated transaction shall be deemed to have been issued for consideration equal to the difference of (I) the aggregate consideration received by the Company minus (II) the Deemed Consideration Value of each such Option or Convertible Security (as applicable). If any shares of Common Stock, Options or Convertible Securities are issued or sold or deemed to have been issued or sold for cash, the consideration received therefor will be deemed to be the net amount received by the Company therefor. If any shares of Common Stock, Options or Convertible Securities are issued or sold for a consideration other than cash, the amount of such consideration received by the Company will be the fair value of such consideration, except where such consideration consists of publicly traded securities, in which case the amount of consideration received by the Company for such securities will be the average VWAP of such security for the five (5) Trading Day period immediately preceding the date of receipt. If any shares of Common Stock, Options or Convertible Securities are issued to the owners of the non-surviving entity in connection with any merger in which the Company is the surviving entity, the amount of consideration therefor will be deemed to be the fair value of such portion of the net assets and business of the non-surviving entity as is attributable to such shares of Common Stock, Options or Convertible Securities (as the case may be). The fair value of any consideration other than cash or publicly traded securities will be determined jointly by the Company and the Holder. If such parties are unable to reach agreement within ten (10) Trading Days after the occurrence of an event requiring valuation (the “Valuation Event”), the fair value of such consideration will be determined within five (5) Trading Days after the tenth (10th) day following such Valuation Event by an independent, reputable appraiser jointly selected by the Company and the Holder. The determination of such appraiser shall be final and binding upon all parties absent manifest error and the fees and expenses of such appraiser shall be borne by the Company.

 

(e) Record Date. If the Company takes a record of the holders of shares of Common Stock for the purpose of entitling them (A) to receive a dividend or other distribution payable in Common Stock, Options or in Convertible Securities or (B) to subscribe for or purchase shares of Common Stock, Options or Convertible Securities, then such record date will be deemed to be the date of the issue or sale of the shares of Common Stock deemed to have been issued or sold upon the declaration of such dividend or the making of such other distribution or the date of the granting of such right of subscription or purchase (as the case may be).

 

7.2. Adjustment of Conversion Price upon Subdivision or Combination of Common Stock. Without limiting any provision of Section 5 or Section 7.1, if the Company at any time on or after the Issuance Date subdivides (by any stock split, stock dividend, recapitalization or otherwise) one or more classes of its outstanding shares of Common Stock into a greater number of shares, the Conversion Price in effect immediately prior to such subdivision will be proportionately reduced. Without limiting any provision of Section 5 or Section 7.1, if the Company at any time on or after the Issuance Date combines (by combination, reverse stock split or otherwise) one or more classes of its outstanding shares of Common Stock into a smaller number of shares, the Conversion Price in effect immediately prior to such combination will be proportionately increased. Any adjustment pursuant to this Section 7.2 shall become effective immediately after the effective date of such subdivision or combination. If any event requiring an adjustment under this Section 7.2 occurs during the period that a Conversion Price is calculated hereunder, then the calculation of such Conversion Price shall be adjusted appropriately to reflect such event.

 

7.3. Other Events. In the event that the Company (or any Subsidiary) shall take any action to which the provisions hereof are not strictly applicable, or, if applicable, would not operate to protect the Holder from dilution or if any event occurs of the type contemplated by the provisions of this Section 7 but not expressly provided for by such provisions (including, without limitation, the granting of stock appreciation rights, phantom stock rights or other rights with equity features), then the Company’s board of directors shall in good faith determine and implement an appropriate adjustment in the Conversion Price so as to protect the rights of the Holder, provided that no such adjustment pursuant to this Section 7.3 will increase the Conversion Price as otherwise determined pursuant to this Section 7, provided further that if the Holder does not accept such adjustments as appropriately protecting its interests hereunder against such dilution, then the Company’s board of directors and the Holder shall agree, in good faith, upon an independent investment bank of nationally recognized standing to make such appropriate adjustments, whose determination shall be final and binding and whose fees and expenses shall be borne by the Company.

 

8. COMPANY INSTALLMENT CONVERSION OR REDEMPTION. Beginning on the earlier of the date that is (i) thirty (30) calendar days after the effective date of a Registration Statement and (ii) one hundred eighty (180) calendar days after the Issuance Date, but in no event sooner than ninety (90) calendar days after the Issuance Date (the “Initial Installment Date”), and on each applicable Installment Date thereafter, the Company shall pay to the Holder of this Note the applicable Installment Amount due on such date by converting such Installment Amount in accordance with this Section 8 (a “Company Conversion”); provided, however, the Company may, at its option as described below, pay all or any part of such Installment Amount by redeeming such Installment Amount in cash (a “Company Redemption”) or by any combination of a Company Conversion and a Company Redemption so long as the entire amount of such Installment Amount due shall be converted and/or redeemed by the Company on the applicable Installment Date, subject to the provisions of this Section 8; provided further that the Company shall not be entitled to effect a Company Conversion with respect to any portion of such Installment Amount and shall be required to pay the entire amount of such Installment Amount in cash pursuant to a Company Redemption if on the applicable Installment Notice Due Date or on the applicable Installment Date (as the case may be) there is an Equity Conditions Failure, and such failure is not waived by Holder as permitted herein.

 

8.1. General. On or prior to the date which is the twenty-third (23rd) Trading Day prior to each Installment Date, or, if at such time the Company’s Common Stock is not DWAC Eligible, the date which is the thirtieth (30th) Trading Day prior to each Installment Date (each, as applicable, an “Installment Notice Due Date”), the Company shall deliver written notice (each, a “Company Installment Notice” and the date the Holder receives or is deemed to receive such notice is referred to as to the “Company Installment Notice Date”), to the Holder and such Company Installment Notice shall (i) either (A) confirm that the applicable Installment Amount of this Note shall be converted in whole pursuant to a Company Conversion or (B) (1) state that the Company elects to redeem, or is required to redeem in accordance with the provisions of this Note, in whole or in part, the applicable Installment Amount pursuant to a Company Redemption and (2) specify the portion of the applicable Installment Amount which the Company elects, or is required to redeem, pursuant to a Company Redemption (such amount to be redeemed in cash, the “Company Redemption Amount”) and the portion of the applicable Installment Amount, if any, with respect to which the Company will, and is permitted to, effect a Company Conversion (such amount of the applicable Installment Amount so specified to be so converted pursuant to this Section 8 is referred to herein as the “Company Conversion Amount”), which amounts when added together, must equal the entire applicable Installment Amount, and (ii) if the applicable Installment Amount is to be paid, in whole or in part, pursuant to a Company Conversion, certify that there is not an Equity Conditions Failure as of the date of the applicable Company Installment Notice.  Each Company Installment Notice shall be irrevocable and may not be revoked by the Company. If the Company does not timely deliver a Company Installment Notice in accordance with this Section 8 with respect to a particular Installment Date, then the Company shall be deemed to have delivered on the latest possible Installment Notice Due Date an irrevocable Company Installment Notice confirming a Company Conversion of the entire Installment Amount payable on such Installment Date and shall be deemed to have certified that there is not an Equity Conditions Failure on the applicable Installment Notice Due Date and the applicable Installment Date. No later than three (3) Trading Days after delivery or deemed delivery (as applicable) of the applicable Company Installment Notice setting forth a Company Conversion Amount, the Company shall deliver to the Holder’s account via DTC/Fast Program the Pre-Installment Conversion Shares, and as to which the Holder shall be the owner thereof as of such time of delivery or deemed delivery (as the case may be) of such Company Installment Notice. The applicable Company Conversion Amount (whether set forth in the applicable Company Installment Notice or by operation of this Section 8) shall be converted in accordance with Section 8.2 and the applicable Company Redemption Amount shall be redeemed in accordance with Section 8.3. If the Company is not DWAC Eligible, then Pre-Installment Conversion Shares shall be delivered pursuant to Section 8.4 hereof. If an Equity Conditions Failure has occurred, then the Company shall identify each such Equity Conditions Failure in the Company Installment Notice and request a waiver from Holder pursuant to Section 8.6 hereof.

 

8.2. Mechanics of Company Conversion. Subject to Section 3.4, if the Company delivers a Company Installment Notice and elects, or is deemed to have delivered a Company Installment Notice and deemed to have elected, in whole or in part, a Company Conversion in accordance with Section 8.1, then the remainder of this Section 8.2 shall apply. Notwithstanding anything else in this Section to the contrary, if an Equity Conditions Failure has occurred, then the Company shall identify each such Equity Conditions Failure in the Company Installment Notice and request a waiver from Holder pursuant to Section 8.6 hereof. If such waiver is obtained, then the remainder of this Section 8.2 shall apply.

 

(a) Provided that there is no Equity Conditions Failure as of the applicable Installment Date (or any such failure is waived as permitted herein) and a Company Conversion is not otherwise prohibited under any other provision of this Note, no later than two (2) Trading Days after each Installment Date, the Company shall deliver to the Holder’s account via DTC/Fast Program a number of shares of Common Stock equal to the amount, if any, by which the Post-Installment Conversion Shares exceed the Pre-Installment Conversion Shares previously delivered to Holder. So long as no Event of Default has occurred regarding payment, conversion or redemption under this Note (each a “Payment Default”), if the Pre-Installment Conversion Shares on the applicable Installment Date exceed the Post-Installment Conversion Shares, then the excess will be applied towards the next Pre-Installment Conversion Shares to be issued by the Company (unless the Outstanding Balance has been reduced to zero, in which case Holder will return such excess shares to the Company).  If a Payment Default has occurred and the Pre-Installment Conversion Shares for the applicable Installment Date exceed the Post-Installment Conversion Shares, then Holder shall not be required to return to the Company any of the excess shares or apply such excess shares to any future issuance or conversion of shares hereunder.

 

(b) If an Event of Default occurs during any applicable Company Conversion Measuring Period (defined below), then Holder may elect to either (i) return any Pre-Installment Conversion Shares delivered in connection with the applicable Installment Date or (ii) retain such Pre-Installment Conversion Shares but only reduce the Company Conversion Amount used to calculate the Pre-Installment Shares (and thereby only reduce the Outstanding Balance) by the product of (A) the Company Conversion Amount applicable to such Installment Date multiplied by (B) the Conversion Share Ratio (as defined in Section 28.8 below). “Company Conversion Measuring Period” means the period beginning on the applicable Installment Notice Due Date and ending on the applicable Installment Date.

 

(c) If there is an Equity Conditions Failure as of such Installment Date that is not waived as permitted herein or a Company Conversion is not otherwise permitted under any other provision of this Note, then, at the option of the Holder designated in writing to the Company, the Holder may require the Company to do any one or more of the following:

 

(i) the Company shall redeem all or any part designated by the Holder of the unconverted Company Conversion Amount (such designated amount is referred to as the “Designated Redemption Amount”) and the Company shall pay to the Holder within three (3) Trading Days of such Installment Date, by wire transfer of immediately available funds, an amount in cash equal to the Redemption Premium multiplied by the Designated Redemption Amount (the “Designated Redemption Price”) (if the Company fails to pay the Designated Redemption Price by the third (3rd) Trading Day following such written notice to the Company, then such failure to pay shall be an Event of Default under Section 4.1(a) hereof), and/or

 

(ii) the Company Conversion shall be null and void with respect to all or any part designated by the Holder of the unconverted Company Conversion Amount and the Holder shall be entitled to all the rights of a holder of this Note with respect to such designated part of the Company Conversion Amount; provided, however, the Conversion Price for such designated part of such unconverted Company Conversion Amount shall thereafter be adjusted to equal the lesser of (Y) the Default Conversion Price as in effect on the date on which the Holder voided the Company Conversion and (Z) the Default Conversion Price that would be in effect on the date on which the Holder delivers a subsequent Conversion Notice relating thereto as if such date was an Installment Date.

 

(d) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Section 8.2, but subject to Sections 3.1(a) and 3.4, until the Company delivers Common Stock representing the Company Conversion Amount to the Holder, the Company Conversion Amount may be converted by the Holder into Common Stock pursuant to Section 3. In the event that the Holder elects to convert the Company Conversion Amount prior to the applicable Installment Date as set forth in the immediately preceding sentence, the Company Conversion Amount so converted shall be deducted from the Conversion Eligible Tranche(s) and Installment Payment(s) set forth in the applicable Conversion Notice.

 

8.3. Mechanics of Company Redemption. If the Company elects, or is required to elect, a Company Redemption, in whole or in part, in accordance with Section 8.1, then the Company Redemption Amount, if any, which is to be paid to the Holder on the applicable Installment Date shall be redeemed by the Company on such Installment Date in an amount of cash, and the Company shall pay to the Holder on such Installment Date, by wire transfer of immediately available funds an amount, equal to the applicable Company Redemption Amount. If the Company fails to pay the applicable Company Redemption Amount on the applicable Installment Date, then, at the option of the Holder designated in writing to the Company (any such designation shall be a “Conversion Notice” for purposes of this Note), the Holder may require the Company to convert all or any part of the Company Redemption Amount at the Default Conversion Price (determined as of the date of such designation as if such date were an Installment Date). Conversions required by this Section 8.3 shall be made in accordance with the provisions of Section 3.3. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Section 8.3, but subject to Section 3.4 and the Holder’s right to require the Company to convert all or any part of the Company Redemption Amount at the Default Conversion Price as set forth above, until the Company Redemption Amount (together with any Late Charges thereon) is paid in full, the Company Redemption Amount (together with any Late Charges thereon) may be converted, in whole or in part, by the Holder into Common Stock pursuant to Section 3. In the event the Holder elects to convert all or any portion of the Company Redemption Amount prior to the applicable Installment Date as set forth in the immediately preceding sentence, the Company Redemption Amount so converted shall be deducted from the Conversion Eligible Tranche(s) and Installment Payment(s) set forth in the applicable Conversion Notice.

 

8.4. DWAC Eligible. If the Company is not DWAC Eligible, or if the Common Stock is not otherwise eligible for such program, then shares required to be issued to the Holder under this Section 8 shall be issued as follows:

 

(a) No later than two (2) Trading Days after delivery or deemed delivery (as applicable) of the applicable Company Installment Notice setting forth a Company Conversion Amount, the Company shall deliver to the Holder via reputable overnight courier the Pre-Installment Conversion Shares by original share certificate, registered in the name of the Holder or its designee (the “Pre-Installment Certificated Shares”); provided, however, that so long as shares are not provided electronically to the Holder under Section 8, the Pre-Installment Certificated Shares shall equal two (2) times the number of Pre-Installment Conversion Shares that would otherwise be transferred electronically to the Holder.

 

(b)  Upon receiving the Pre-Installment Certificated Shares, the Holder agrees to promptly deposit such shares into its brokerage account and take reasonable efforts to cause such shares to become “free trading” (i.e., not subject to the transferability restrictions under Rule 144). The Holder will notify the Company by email within two (2) Trading Days after the applicable Pre-Installment Certificated Shares become “free trading” (the date such notice is sent to the Company is referred to as the “Free Trading Notice Date”). The date that is thirty (30) Trading Days after the Free Trading Notice Date is referred to herein as the “Certificated Shares Installment Date”).

 

(c) The “Post-Installment Certificated Shares” shall be one (1) times the greater of (A) the Post-Installment Conversion Shares calculated using the applicable Installment Date, and (B) the Post-Installment Conversion Shares calculated using the Certificated Shares Installment Date (as if such date were the designated Installment Date).

 

(d) Provided that there is no Equity Conditions Failure as of the Certificated Shares Installment Date (or such failure is waived as permitted herein) and a Company Conversion is not otherwise prohibited under any other provision of this Note, no later than two (2) Trading Days after the applicable Certificated Shares Installment Date, the Company shall deliver to the Holder via reputable overnight courier the Post-Installment Certificated Shares, less the Pre-Installment Certificated Shares previously delivered to the Holder, by original share certificate, registered in the name of the Holder or its designee. If the Pre-Installment Certificated Shares for the applicable Certificated Shares Installment Date exceed the Post-Installment Certificated Shares, the excess will be applied towards the next Pre-Installment Conversion Shares to be issued by the Company (unless the Outstanding Balance has been reduced to zero, in which case Holder will return such excess shares to the Company).

 

8.5. Deemed Issuance. If Company fails to take any action required by this Section 8, in addition to such failure to act being considered an Event of Default hereunder, for purposes of Section 7.1, the Company shall also be deemed to have issued the Post-Installment Conversion Shares to Holder on the applicable dates and pursuant to the terms set forth in this Section 8, with Holder entitled to all the rights and privileges associated with such deemed issued shares (the “Deemed Installment Issuance”).

 

8.6. Waiver of Equity Conditions Failure. Notwithstanding anything in the Note to the Contrary, the Holder may waive in writing any Equity Conditions Failure, except for the Non-Waivable Equity Conditions (defined below).  For purposes of this Section 8, “Non-Waivable Equity Conditions” refer to (A) the Equity Condition set forth in Section 28.19(iv) (indicating that Holder may not own more than the Maximum Percentage set forth in Section 3.4 of the Note), and (B) the Equity Condition set forth in Section 28.19(v) (Common Stock may be issued without violating the rules of the Eligible Market). Any such waiver shall only be made for the purposes of permitting a Company Conversion to occur under this Section 8 and shall not be deemed a waiver of the underlying default or a continuing waiver of a future Equity Conditions Failure. Any such waiver shall not excuse the Company from the performance of any of its current or future obligations under the Note.

 

8.7. Preparation of Company Installment Notice. Because of the complexity of the calculations contemplated under this Note, the Holder may, at its sole discretion, prepare the Company Installment Notice for the benefit of the Company, including the calculation of Pre-Installment Conversion Shares, Post-Installment Conversion Shares, the Pre-Installment Certificated Shares, Post-Installment Certificated Shares, etc.; provided, however, that no error or mistake in the preparation of such information may be deemed a waiver of the Holder’s right to enforce the terms of this Note, even if such error or mistake arises from the Holder’s own calculation. Nothing in this Section shall be deemed an obligation of the Holder to prepare any such information, or a waiver of any of its rights and remedies under this Note.

 

8.8. Transfer Fees. The Company shall pay any and all transfer, stamp, issuance and similar taxes that may be payable with respect to the issuance and delivery of Pre-Installment Conversion Shares, Post-Installment Conversion Shares, Pre-Installment Certificated Shares, and Post-Installment Certificated Shares.

 

9. NONCIRCUMVENTION. The Company hereby covenants and agrees that the Company will not, by amendment of its Certificate of Incorporation (as defined in the Purchase Agreement), bylaws, or through any reorganization, transfer of assets, consolidation, merger, scheme of arrangement, dissolution, issue or sale of securities, or any other voluntary action, avoid or seek to avoid the observance or performance of any of the terms of this Note, and will at all times in good faith carry out all of the provisions of this Note and take all action as may be required to protect the rights of the Holder of this Note. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the Company (i) shall not increase the par value of any shares of Common Stock receivable upon conversion of this Note above the Conversion Price then in effect, (ii) shall take all such actions as may be necessary or appropriate in order that the Company may validly and legally issue fully paid and non-assessable shares of Common Stock upon the conversion of this Note, and (iii) shall, so long as this Note is outstanding, take all action necessary to reserve and keep available out of its authorized and unissued shares of Common Stock, solely for the purpose of effecting the conversion of this Note, the maximum number of shares of Common Stock as shall from time to time be necessary to effect the conversion of this Note (without regard to any limitations on conversion).

 

10. HOLDER’S REDEMPTIONS. The Company shall deliver the applicable Event of Default Redemption Price to the Holder in cash within one (1) Trading Day after the Company’s receipt of the Holder’s Event of Default Redemption Notice. If the Holder has submitted a Fundamental Transaction Redemption Notice in accordance with Section 5.2, the Company shall deliver the applicable Fundamental Transaction Redemption Price to the Holder in cash concurrently with the consummation of such Fundamental Transaction if such notice is received prior to the consummation of such Fundamental Transaction and within one (1) Trading Day after the Company’s receipt of such notice otherwise.  In the event that the Company does not pay the applicable Redemption Price to the Holder within the time period required, at any time thereafter and until the Company pays such unpaid Redemption Price in full, the Holder shall have the option, in lieu of redemption, to require the Company to promptly return to the Holder all or any portion of this Note representing the amount that was submitted for redemption and for which the applicable Redemption Price (together with any Late Charges thereon) has not been paid. Notwithstanding anything in this Note to the contrary, such failure of the Company to pay the Redemption Price under this Section 10 shall not be considered a separate Event of Default hereunder.  Upon the Company’s receipt of such notice, (x) the applicable Redemption Notice shall be null and void with respect to such amount submitted for redemption, (y) the Outstanding Balance of this Note as of the date of the Redemption Notice shall be increased by an amount equal to (1) the applicable Event of Default Redemption Price or Fundamental Transaction Redemption Price (as the case may be) minus (2) the principal portion of the Outstanding Balance submitted for redemption, and the entire amount of such increase shall be added to the lowest-numbered then-current Conversion Eligible Tranche, and (z) the Conversion Price of this Note shall be automatically adjusted with respect to each conversion under this Note effected thereafter by the Holder to the lowest of (A) the Conversion Price as in effect on the date on which the applicable Redemption Notice is voided, (B) 80% of the lowest VWAP of the Common Stock for any Trading Day during the period beginning on and including the date on which the applicable Redemption Notice is delivered to the Company and ending on and including the date on which the applicable Redemption Notice is voided, (C) the Market Price immediately preceding the date of each future applicable Conversion Notice, and (D) the Market Price as in effect on the date on which the applicable Redemption Notice is voided.

12.14. Maintenance of Registration/Issuer. From the date hereof until all the Conversion Shares either have been sold by the Holder, or may permanently be sold by the Holder without any restrictions pursuant to Rule 144, (the “Registration Period”) the Company shall file with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) in a timely manner all required reports under Sections 13 or 15(d) of the 1934 Act, as amended, and such reports shall conform to the requirement of the 1934 Act and the SEC for filing thereunder.

13. AMENDING THE TERMS OF THIS NOTE. The prior written consent of the Holder shall be required for any change or amendment to this Note.

 

14. TRANSFER. This Note and any shares of Common Stock issued upon conversion of this Note may be offered, sold, assigned or transferred by the Holder only as permitted by the Securities Act.  This Note may be sold, assigned or transferred only with the written consent of the Company, which shall not be unreasonably withheld; provided, however, that Holder may assign, transfer or sell this Note without the need to obtain the consent of the Company if all of the Buyer Notes and Buyer Trust Deed Notes (as both such terms are defined in the Purchase Agreement) have been paid in full or all payment obligations of the Holder thereunder have otherwise been completely offset and satisfied pursuant to the Holder Offset Right.  Shares of Common Stock issued upon conversion of the Note may be offered, sold, assigned or transferred by the Holder in any manner permitted by the Securities Act.

 

15. REISSUANCE OF THIS NOTE.

 

15.1. Transfer. If this Note is to be transferred, the Holder shall surrender this Note to the Company, whereupon the Company will forthwith issue and deliver upon the order of the Holder a new Note (in accordance with Section 15.4), registered as the Holder may request, representing the Outstanding Balance being transferred by the Holder and, if less than the entire Outstanding Balance is being transferred, a new Note (in accordance with Section 15.4) to the Holder representing the Outstanding Balance not being transferred. The Holder and any assignee, by acceptance of this Note, acknowledge and agree that, by reason of the provisions of Section 3.3(c) following conversion or redemption of any portion of this Note, the Outstanding Balance may be less than the Original Principal Amount stated on the face of this Note.

 

15.2. Lost, Stolen or Mutilated Note. Upon receipt by the Company of evidence reasonably satisfactory to the Company of the loss, theft, destruction or mutilation of this Note (as to which a written certification and the indemnification contemplated below shall suffice as such evidence), and, in the case of loss, theft or destruction, of any indemnification undertaking by the Holder to the Company in customary and reasonable form and, in the case of mutilation, upon surrender and cancellation of this Note, the Company shall execute and deliver to the Holder a new Note (in accordance with Section 15.4) representing the Outstanding Balance.

 

15.3. Note Exchangeable for Different Denominations. This Note is exchangeable, upon the surrender hereof by the Holder at the principal office of the Company, for a new Note or Notes (in accordance with Section 15.4 and in principal amounts of at least $50,000) representing in the aggregate the Outstanding Balance of this Note, and each such new Note will represent such portion of such Outstanding Balance as is designated by the Holder at the time of such surrender.

 

15.4. Issuance of New Notes. Subject to Section 10, whenever the Company is required to issue a new Note pursuant to the terms of this Note, such new Note (i) shall be of like tenor with this Note, (ii) shall represent, as indicated on the face of such new Note, the Outstanding Balance (or in the case of a new Note being issued pursuant to Section 15.1 or Section 15.3, the portion of the Outstanding Balance designated by the Holder which, when added to the outstanding balance represented by the other new Notes issued in connection with such issuance, does not exceed the Outstanding Balance under this Note immediately prior to such issuance of new Notes), (iii) shall have an issuance date, as indicated on the face of such new Note, which is the same as the Issuance Date of this Note, (iv) shall have the same rights and conditions as this Note, and (v) shall represent accrued and unpaid Interest and Late Charges and other increases to the Outstanding Balance as permitted hereunder, from the Issuance Date.

 

16. REMEDIES, CHARACTERIZATIONS, OTHER OBLIGATIONS, BREACHES AND INJUNCTIVE RELIEF. The remedies, including all charges, fees, and collection costs, provided for in this Note shall be cumulative and in addition to all other remedies available under this Note and any of the other Transaction Documents at law or in equity (including a decree of specific performance and/or other injunctive relief), and nothing herein shall limit the Holder’s right to pursue actual and consequential damages for any failure by the Company to comply with the terms of this Note. The Company covenants to the Holder that there shall be no characterization concerning this instrument other than as expressly provided herein. Amounts set forth or provided for herein with respect to payments, conversion and the like (and the computation thereof) shall be the amounts to be received by the Holder and shall not, except as expressly provided herein, be subject to any other obligation of the Company (or the performance thereof). The Company acknowledges that a breach by it of its obligations hereunder will cause irreparable harm to the Holder and that the remedy at law for any such breach may be inadequate. The Company therefore agrees that, in the event of any such breach or threatened breach, the Holder shall be entitled, in addition to all other available remedies, to an injunction restraining any such breach or any such threatened breach, without the necessity of showing economic loss and without any bond or other security being required. The Company shall provide all information and documentation to the Holder that is requested by the Holder to enable the Holder to confirm the Company’s compliance with the terms and conditions of this Note (including, without limitation, compliance with Section 7).

 

17. PAYMENT OF COLLECTION, ENFORCEMENT AND OTHER COSTS. If (a) this Note is placed in the hands of an attorney for collection or enforcement or is collected or enforced through any legal proceeding or the Holder otherwise takes action to collect amounts due under this Note or to enforce the provisions of this Note or (b) there occurs any bankruptcy, reorganization, receivership of the Company or other proceedings affecting Company creditors’ rights and involving a claim under this Note, then the Company shall pay the costs incurred by the Holder for such collection, enforcement or action or in connection with such bankruptcy, reorganization, receivership or other proceeding, including, without limitation, attorneys’ fees and disbursements. The Company expressly acknowledges and agrees that no amounts due under this Note shall be affected, or limited, by the fact that the Purchase Price paid for this Note was less than the Original Principal Amount.

 

18. CONSTRUCTION; HEADINGS. This Note shall be deemed to be jointly drafted by the Company and the Holder and shall not be construed against any Person as the drafter hereof. The headings of this Note are for convenience of reference and shall not form part of, or affect the interpretation of, this Note. Terms used in this Note but defined in the other Transaction Documents shall have the meanings ascribed to such terms on the Issuance Date in such other Transaction Documents unless otherwise consented to in writing by the Holder.

 

19. FAILURE OR INDULGENCE NOT WAIVER. No failure or delay on the part of the Holder in the exercise of any power, right or privilege hereunder shall operate as a waiver thereof, nor shall any single or partial exercise of any such power, right or privilege preclude other or further exercise thereof or of any other right, power or privilege. No waiver shall be effective unless it is in writing and signed by an authorized representative of the waiving party.

 

20. DISPUTE RESOLUTION. In the case of a dispute as to the determination of the Conversion Price, Default Conversion Price, Pre-Installment Conversion Price, Conversion Rate, the Closing Bid Price, the VWAP or fair market value (as the case may be) or the arithmetic calculation of Conversion Shares or the applicable Redemption Price (as the case may be), the Company or the Holder (as the case may be) shall submit the disputed determinations or arithmetic calculations (as the case may be) via facsimile (i) within two (2) Trading Days after receipt of the applicable notice giving rise to such dispute to the Company or the Holder (as the case may be) or (ii) if no notice gave rise to such dispute, at any time after the Holder learned of the circumstances giving rise to such dispute (including, without limitation, as to whether any issuance or sale or deemed issuance or sale was an issuance or sale or deemed issuance or sale of Excluded Securities). If the Holder and the Company are unable to agree upon such determination or calculation within two (2) Trading Days of such disputed determination or arithmetic calculation (as the case may be) being submitted to the Company or the Holder (as the case may be), then the Company shall, within two (2) Trading Days, submit via facsimile (a) the disputed determination of the Conversion Price, Default Conversion Price, Pre-Installment Conversion Price, Conversion Rate, the Closing Bid Price, the VWAP or fair market value (as the case may be) to an independent, reputable investment bank selected by the Holder or (b) the disputed arithmetic calculation of the Conversion Shares or any Redemption Price (as the case may be) to the Company’s independent, outside accountant. The Company shall cause at its expense the investment bank or the accountant (as the case may be) to perform the determinations or calculations (as the case may be) and notify the Company and the Holder of the results no later than ten (10) Trading Days from the time it receives such disputed determinations or calculations (as the case may be). Such investment bank’s or accountant’s determination or calculation with respect to the disputes set forth in this Section 20 (as the case may be) shall be binding upon all parties absent demonstrable error.

 

21. NOTICES; PAYMENTS.

 

21.1. 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.“  The Company shall provide the Holder with prompt written notice of all actions taken pursuant to this Note, including in reasonable detail a description of such action and the reason therefore. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the Company will give written notice to the Holder (i) immediately upon any adjustment of the Conversion Price, setting forth in reasonable detail, and certifying, the calculation of such adjustment and (ii) at least fifteen (15) Trading Days prior to the date on which the Company closes its books or takes a record (A) with respect to any dividend or distribution upon the Common Stock, (B) with respect to any grant, issuances, or sales of any Options, Convertible Securities or rights to purchase stock, warrants, securities or other property to all holders of shares of Common Stock, or (C) for determining rights to vote with respect to any Fundamental Transaction, dissolution or liquidation, provided in each case that such information shall be made known to the public prior to or in conjunction with such notice being provided to the Holder.

 

21.2. Currency. All dollar amounts referred to in this Note are in United States Dollars (“U.S. Dollars”), and all amounts owing under this Note shall be paid in U.S. Dollars.  Whenever any payment of cash is to be made by the Company to any Person pursuant to this Note, unless otherwise expressly set forth herein, such payment shall be made in lawful money of the United States of America by a certified check drawn on the account of the Company and sent via overnight courier service to such Person at such address as previously provided to the Company in writing (which address, in the case of the Holder, shall initially be as set forth in Section 13.18 of the Purchase Agreement), provided that the Holder may elect to receive a payment of cash via wire transfer of immediately available funds by providing the Company with prior written notice setting out such request and the Holder’s wire transfer instructions. Whenever any amount expressed to be due by the terms of this Note is due on any day which is not a Trading Day, the same shall instead be due on the next succeeding day which is a Trading Day. Any amount due under the Transaction Documents which is not paid when due shall result in a late charge being incurred and payable by the Company in an amount equal to interest on such amount at the rate of eighteen percent (18%) per annum from the date such amount was due until the same is paid in full (“Late Charge”).

 

22. CANCELLATION. After repayment or conversion of the entire Outstanding Balance, this Note shall automatically be deemed canceled, shall be surrendered to the Company for cancellation and shall not be reissued.

 

23. WAIVER OF NOTICE. To the extent permitted by law, the Company hereby irrevocably waives demand, notice, presentment, protest and all other demands and notices in connection with the delivery, acceptance, performance, default or enforcement of this Note and the Purchase Agreement.

 

24. GOVERNING LAW. This Note shall be construed and enforced in accordance with, and all questions concerning the construction, validity, interpretation and performance of this Note shall be governed by, the internal laws of the State of 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 Company hereby irrevocably submits to the exclusive jurisdiction of the state and federal courts sitting in Salt Lake City for the adjudication of any dispute hereunder or in connection herewith or with any transaction contemplated hereby or discussed herein, and hereby irrevocably waives, and agrees not to assert in any suit, action or proceeding, any claim that it is not personally subject to the jurisdiction of any such court, that such suit, action or proceeding is brought in an inconvenient forum or that the venue of such suit, action or proceeding is improper. Nothing contained herein shall be deemed to limit in any way any right to serve process in any manner permitted by law. In the event that any provision of this Note is invalid or unenforceable under any applicable statute or rule of law, then such provision shall be deemed inoperative to the extent that it may conflict therewith and shall be deemed modified to conform with such statute or rule of law. Any such provision which may prove invalid or unenforceable under any law shall not affect the validity or enforceability of any other provision of this Note. Nothing contained herein shall be deemed or operate to preclude the Holder from bringing suit or taking other legal action against the Company or any of its Subsidiaries in any other jurisdiction to collect on the Company’s obligations to the Holder, to realize on any collateral or any other security for such obligations, or to enforce a judgment or other court ruling in favor of the Holder. THE COMPANY HEREBY IRREVOCABLY WAIVES ANY RIGHT IT MAY HAVE TO, AND AGREES NOT TO REQUEST, A JURY TRIAL FOR THE ADJUDICATION OF ANY DISPUTE HEREUNDER OR IN CONNECTION WITH OR ARISING OUT OF THIS NOTE OR ANY TRANSACTION CONTEMPLATED HEREBY.

 

25. SEVERABILITY. If any provision of this Note is prohibited by law or otherwise determined to be invalid or unenforceable by a court of competent jurisdiction, the provision that would otherwise be prohibited, invalid or unenforceable shall be deemed amended to apply to the broadest extent that it would be valid and enforceable, and the invalidity or unenforceability of such provision shall not affect the validity of the remaining provisions of this Note so long as this Note as so modified continues to express, without material change, the original intentions of the parties as to the subject matter hereof and the prohibited nature, invalidity or unenforceability of the provision(s) in question does not substantially impair the respective expectations or reciprocal obligations of the parties or the practical realization of the benefits that would otherwise be conferred upon the parties.  The parties will endeavor in good faith negotiations to replace the prohibited, invalid or unenforceable provision(s) with one or more valid provisions, the effect of which comes as close as possible to that of the prohibited, invalid or unenforceable provision(s).

 

26. FEES AND CHARGES. The parties acknowledge and agree that upon Company’s failure to comply with the provisions of this Note, the Holder’s damages would be uncertain and difficult to estimate because of the parties’ inability to predict future interest rates, the Holder’s increased risk, and the uncertainty of the availability of a suitable substitute investment opportunity for the Holder. Accordingly, any fees, charges, and interest due under this Note are intended by the parties to be, and shall be deemed, a reasonable estimate of the Holder’s actual loss of its investment opportunity and not a penalty, and shall not be deemed in any way to limit any other right or remedy Holder may have hereunder, at law or in equity.

 

27. UNCONDITIONAL OBLIGATION. Subject to the terms of the Purchase Agreement, no provision of this Note shall alter or impair the obligation of the Company, which is absolute and unconditional, to pay the principal of, and interest on, this Note at the time, place, and rate, and in the coin or currency or where contemplated herein in shares of its Common Stock, as applicable, as herein prescribed.  This Note is the direct obligation of the Company.

The Note shall be secured by a Security Agreement substantially in the form attached hereto as ANNEX III listing all of the Company’s assets (including all of the Buyer Trust Deed Notes (defined below) and the Buyer Notes (defined below)) as security for the Company’s obligations under the Transaction Documents (the “Security Agreement”). In consideration thereof, the Buyer shall pay (i) the principal amount set forth on the Buyer’s signature page to this Agreement (the “Initial Cash Purchase Price”), and (ii) issue to the Company the Buyer Trust Deed Notes and the Buyer Notes (the sum of the principal amount of the Buyer Trust Deed Notes and the Buyer Notes, together with the Initial Cash Purchase Price, the “Purchase Price”). Buyer Trust Deed Note #1, Buyer Trust Deed Note #2 and Buyer Trust Deed Note #3 (each as defined below, and referred to herein collectively as the “Buyer Trust Deed Notes”) shall be secured on the Closing Date by a Trust Deed substantially in the form attached hereto as ANNEX IV, as the same may be amended from time to time (the “Trust Deed”), subject to Section 2.1(d). Initially, only the Buyer Trust Deed Notes will be secured by the Trust Deed pursuant to the terms and conditions of the Trust Deed, the Buyer Trust Deed Notes and this Agreement, but the Buyer Notes (as defined below) may become secured subsequent to the Closing pursuant to Section 2.1(e) and the terms and conditions of the Buyer Notes.  The Initial Cash Purchase Price shall be paid in accordance with the Wire Instructions.  The Purchase Price is allocated to the Tranches (as defined in the Note) of the Note and to the Warrants as set forth in the table attached hereto as ANNEX V.

 

(b) In consideration for the Purchase Price, the Company shall, at the Closing:

 

(i) Issue to the Buyer:

 

(A) the Warrant #1 to Purchase Shares of Common Stock, exercisable on or after the Closing Date, substantially in the form attached hereto as ANNEX VI (“Warrant #1”);

 

(B) the Warrant #2 to Purchase Shares of Common Stock, exercisable only once the Buyer has paid Buyer Trust Deed Note #1 (defined below) in full, substantially in the form attached hereto as ANNEX VII (“Warrant #2”);

 

(C) the Warrant #3 to Purchase Shares of Common Stock, exercisable only once the Buyer has paid Buyer Trust Deed Note #2 (defined below) in full, substantially in the form attached hereto as ANNEX VIII (“Warrant #3”);

 

(D) the Warrant #4 to Purchase Shares of Common Stock, exercisable only once the Buyer has paid Buyer Trust Deed Note #3 (defined below) in full, substantially in the form attached hereto as ANNEX IX (“Warrant #4”);

(F) the Warrant #6 to Purchase Shares of Common Stock, exercisable only once the Buyer has paid Buyer Note #2 (defined below) in full, substantially in the form attached hereto as ANNEX XI (“Warrant #6”); and

 

(G) the Warrant #7 to Purchase Shares of Common Stock, exercisable only once the Buyer has paid Buyer Note #3 (defined below) in full, substantially in the form attached hereto as ANNEX XII (“Warrant #7,” and together with Warrant #1, Warrant #2, Warrant #3, Warrant #4, Warrant #5 and Warrant #6, the “Warrants”).

 

The Company and the Buyer hereby acknowledge and agree that, notwithstanding that the Warrants are exercisable at different times, (1) all such Warrants are being issued at the Closing, (2) the Buyer is assuming the economic risk of investment with respect to all of the Warrants as of the Closing, (3) the Buyer is not providing any additional consideration for the Warrants post-Closing even though some of the Warrants will not be exercisable until after the Closing Date, and (4) it is the intent of the parties, for purposes of and consistent with the public policies undergirding Rule 144, that all of the Warrants shall be deemed issued to and acquired by the Buyer as of the Closing Date.

 

(ii) Cause Gray (A) to execute and deliver to the Buyer the Subordination Agreement substantially in the form attached hereto as ANNEX XIII (the “Subordination Agreement”), whereby the Gray Lien shall be subordinated to all Buyer Liens, and (B) to terminate all UCC financing statements Gray has filed or caused to be filed in connection with the Gray Lien by filing no later than the Closing all necessary UCC termination statements (following notice from the Buyer after the Closing that the Buyer has filed all UCC financing statements the Buyer deems necessary to perfect all Buyer Liens, Gray shall then be permitted to file desired UCC financing statements with respect to the Gray Lien).

 

(iii) Execute and deliver to Buyer a Request for Full Reconveyance (the “Request”) substantially in the form attached hereto as ANNEX XIV. The Request shall be held in escrow in accordance with the terms of the Escrow Agreement substantially in the form attached hereto as ANNEX XV (the “Escrow Agreement”).

 

(iv) Execute and deliver to the Transfer Agent, and the Transfer Agent shall execute to indicate its acceptance thereof, the irrevocable transfer agent instruction letter substantially in the form attached hereto as ANNEX XVI (the “Transfer Agent Letter”).

 

(v) Execute and deliver to the Buyer a Registration Rights Agreement substantially in the form attached hereto as ANNEX XVII (the “Registration Rights Agreement”).

 

(c) At the Closing, the Buyer shall deliver to the Company the following:

 

(i) the Initial Cash Purchase Price;

 

(ii) the Buyer Trust Deed Note #1 in the principal amount of $250,000.00 duly executed and substantially in the form attached hereto as ANNEX XVIII (the “Buyer Trust Deed Note #1”);

 

(iii) the Buyer Trust Deed Note #2 in the principal amount of $250,000.00 duly executed and substantially in the form attached hereto as ANNEX XIX (the “Buyer Trust Deed Note #2”);

 

(iv) the Buyer Trust Deed Note #3 in the principal amount of $250,000.00 duly executed and substantially in the form attached hereto as ANNEX XX (the “Buyer Trust Deed Note #3”);

 

(v) the Buyer Note #1 in the principal amount of $250,000.00 duly executed and substantially in the form attached hereto as ANNEX XXI (the “Buyer Note #1”);

 

(vi) the Buyer Note #2 in the principal amount of $250,000.00 duly executed and substantially in the form attached hereto as ANNEX XXII (the “Buyer Note #2”); and

 

(vii) the Buyer Note #3 in the principal amount of $250,000.00 duly executed and substantially in the form attached hereto as ANNEX XXIII (the “Buyer Note #3,” and together with Buyer Note #1 and Buyer Note #2, the “Buyer Notes”).

 

(viii) the Trust Deed duly executed and notarized and substantially in the form attached hereto as ANNEX IV;

 

(d) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, the Buyer may, in its sole discretion, add additional collateral to the collateral covered by the Trust Deed (the “Collateral”), and may, with the consent of the Company, not to be unreasonably withheld, substitute collateral provided that the fair market value of the substituted Collateral may not be less than the aggregate principal balance of the Buyer Trust Deed Notes as of the date of any such substitution.  In the event of a substitution of collateral, the Buyer shall timely execute any and all documents necessary or advisable in order to properly grant a first priority security interest upon the substitute collateral in favor of the Company, and the Company shall take such other measures as are necessary or advisable in order to accomplish the intent of the Transaction Documents, including without limitation, execution of a Request to release a lien against the original Collateral within five (5) Trading Days after written request from Buyer. The intent of the parties is that fair market value of the Collateral will be equal to the outstanding balances of the Buyer Trust Deed Notes.  To the extent the fair market value of the Collateral is less than the total outstanding balance of all the Buyer Trust Deed Notes, then the Collateral will be deemed to only secure those Buyer Trust Deed Notes with an aggregate outstanding balance that is less than or equal to the fair market value of the Collateral, applied in numerical order of the Buyer Trust Deed Notes. By way of example only, if the fair market value of the Collateral is determined by appraisal to be $500,000, then the Collateral will be deemed to secure only Buyer Trust Deed Note #1 and Buyer Trust Deed Note #2.  If the Collateral is subsequently appraised for $1,000,000, then the Collateral will automatically be deemed to secure all of the Buyer Trust Deed Notes.

 

(e) Provided that the Buyer Notes have not been paid in full or offset by either the Company or the Buyer in accordance with the terms of the Transaction Documents, the Buyer agrees to collateralize the Buyer Notes after the Buyer Trust Deed Notes have been paid or offset in full.

 

2.2. Form of Payment; Delivery of Securities.  The purchase and sale of the Securities shall take place at a closing (the “Closing”) to be held at the offices of the Buyer on the Closing Date.  At the Closing, the Company will deliver the Transaction Documents to the Buyer against delivery by the Buyer to the Company of the Initial Cash Purchase Price and the Buyer Trust Deed Notes and the Buyer Notes.

 

2.3. Initial Cash Purchase Price. The Note carries an original issue discount of $200,000.00 (the “OID”).  In addition, the Company agrees to pay $15,000.00 ($5,000.00 of which has been previously paid to the Buyer) to the Buyer to cover the Buyer’s legal fees, accounting costs, due diligence, monitoring and other transaction costs incurred in connection with the purchase and sale of the Securities, $10,000.00 of which amount is included in the initial principal balance of the Note (the “Transaction Expenses”).  The Initial Cash Purchase Price, therefore, shall be $500,000.00, computed as follows: $2,210,000.00 less the OID, less the $10,000 in unpaid Transaction Expenses, less the sum of initial principal amounts of the Buyer Trust Deed Notes and the Buyer Notes.

 

3. BUYER REPRESENTATIONS AND WARRANTIES. The Buyer represents and warrants to, and covenants and agrees with, the Company, as of the date hereof and as of the Closing Date, as follows:

 

3.1. Binding Obligation. The Transaction Documents to which the Buyer is a party, and the transactions contemplated hereby and thereby, have been duly and validly authorized by the Buyer.  This Agreement has been executed and delivered by the Buyer, and this Agreement is, and each of the other Transaction Documents to which the Buyer is a party, when executed and delivered by the Buyer (if necessary), will be valid and binding obligations of the Buyer enforceable in accordance with their respective terms, subject as to enforceability only to general principles of equity and to bankruptcy, insolvency, moratorium and other similar laws affecting the enforcement of creditors’ rights generally.

 

3.2. Accredited Investor Status. The Buyer is an “accredited investor” as that term is defined in Regulation D.  The Buyer is purchasing the Securities for investment purposes and not for the purposes of distributing such Securities to the Public.  The Buyer is a sophisticated investor and has such knowledge and experience as to be able to evaluate the risks associated with the Securities without the assistance of a Purchaser representative.  The Buyer acknowledges that the Company has made no representations and warranties, other than as set forth in the Transaction Documents.

 

3.3. Value of Collateral.  The Trust Deed shall give the Company a valid, first priority security interest in the underlying Collateral, which Collateral has a fair market value equal to the principal amount of the Note.

 

4. COMPANY REPRESENTATIONS AND WARRANTIES. The Company represents and warrants to the Buyer as of the date hereof and as of the Closing Date that:

 

4.1. Rights of Others Affecting the Transactions.  There are no preemptive rights of any stockholder of the Company, as such, to acquire the Securities. No other party has a currently exercisable right of first refusal which would be applicable to any or all of the transactions contemplated by the Transaction Documents.

 

4.2. Status.  The Company is a corporation duly organized, validly existing and in good standing under the laws of the State of Incorporation and has the requisite corporate power to own its properties and to carry on its business as now being conducted.  The Company is duly qualified as a foreign corporation to do business and is in good standing in each jurisdiction where the nature of the business conducted or property owned by it makes such qualification necessary, other than those jurisdictions in which the failure to so qualify would not have or result in a Material Adverse Effect.  The Company has registered its stock under Section 12(g) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “1934 Act”), and is obligated to file reports pursuant to Section 13 or Section 15(d) of the 1934 Act. The Company has not taken any action designed to terminate, or which to its knowledge is likely to have the effect of, terminating the registration of the Common Stock under the 1934 Act, nor has the Company received any notification that the SEC is contemplating terminating such registration.  The Common Stock is quoted on the Principal Trading Market.  The Company has received no notice, either oral or written, with respect to the continued eligibility of the Common Stock for quotation on the Principal Trading Market, and the Company has maintained all requirements on its part for the continuation of such quotation. Subsequent to the delisting of the Company from NYSE AMEX in 2012, the Company has not received notice from the Principal Trading Market on which the Common Stock is or has been listed or quoted to the effect that the Company is not in compliance with the listing or maintenance requirements of such Principal Trading Market. The Company is, and has no reason to believe that it will not in the foreseeable future continue to be, in compliance with all such listing and maintenance requirements.

 

4.3. Authorized Shares.

 

(a) The authorized capital stock of the Company consists of 20,000 shares of Preferred Stock, $0.001 par value per share, of which only 65 shares (designated Preferred Stock Series A) are outstanding, and 200,000,000 shares of Common Stock, $0.001 par value per share, of which approximately 8,086,398 are outstanding. Of the outstanding shares of Common Stock, approximately 397,026 shares are beneficially owned by Affiliates of the Company.

 

(b) Other than as set forth in the Company’s SEC Documents, there are no outstanding securities which are convertible into or exchangeable for shares of Common Stock, whether such conversion is currently exercisable or exercisable only upon some future date or the occurrence of some event in the future.

 

(c) All issued and outstanding shares of Common Stock have been duly authorized and validly issued and are fully paid and non-assessable. After considering all other commitments that may require the issuance of Common Stock, the Company has sufficient authorized and unissued shares of Common Stock as may be necessary to effect the issuance of the Shares on the Closing Date, were (1) the Note issued and fully converted on that date and (2) all Warrants issued and fully exercised on that date.

 

(d) The Shares have been duly authorized by all necessary corporate action on the part of the Company, and, when issued (1) on conversion of, or in payment of interest on the Note in accordance with the terms thereof, (2) upon exercise of the Warrants in accordance with the terms thereof, or (3) at the Closing in accordance with the terms of this Agreement, as applicable, will have been duly and validly issued, fully paid and non-assessable, free from all taxes, liens, claims, pledges, mortgages, restrictions, obligations, security interests and encumbrances of any kind, nature and description, and will not subject the Holder thereof to personal liability by reason of being a Holder.

 

(e) The Conversion Shares and Warrant Shares are enforceable against the Company and the Company presently has no claims or defenses of any nature whatsoever with respect to the Conversion Shares or the Warrant Shares.

 

4.4. Transaction Documents and Stock. This Agreement and each of the other Transaction Documents, and the transactions contemplated hereby and thereby, have been duly and validly authorized by the Company.

4.5. Non-contravention. The execution and delivery of this Agreement and each of the other Transaction Documents by the Company, the issuance of the Securities in accordance with the terms hereof and thereof, and the consummation by the Company of the other transactions contemplated by this Agreement, the Note, the Security Agreement, the Warrants, and the other Transaction Documents do not and will not conflict with or result in a breach by the Company of any of the terms or provisions of, or constitute a default under (i) the Certificate of Incorporation or bylaws of the Company, each as currently in effect, (ii) any indenture, mortgage, deed of trust, or other material agreement or instrument to which the Company is a party or by which it or any of its properties or assets are bound, including any listing agreement for the Common Stock except as herein set forth, or (iii) to its knowledge, any existing applicable law, rule, or regulation or any applicable decree, judgment, or order of any court, United States federal or state regulatory body, administrative agency, or other governmental body having jurisdiction over the Company or any of its properties or assets, except such conflict, breach or default which would not have or result in a Material Adverse Effect.

 

4.6. Approvals.  No authorization, approval or consent of any court, governmental body, regulatory agency, self-regulatory organization, or stock exchange or market or the stockholders of the Company is required to be obtained by the Company for the issuance and sale of the Securities to the Buyer as contemplated by this Agreement, except such authorizations, approvals and consents as have been obtained.

 

4.7. Filings; Financial Statements.  None of the Company’s SEC Documents contained, at the time they were filed, any untrue statement of a material fact or omitted to state any material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements made therein, in light of the circumstances under which they were made, not misleading. The Company has filed all reports, schedules, forms, statements and other documents required to be filed by the Company with the SEC under the 1934 Act on a timely basis or has received a valid extension of such time of filing and has filed any such report, schedule, form, statement or other document prior to the expiration of any such extension.  As of their respective dates, the financial statements of the Company included in the Company’s SEC Documents complied as to form in all material respects with applicable accounting requirements and the published rules and regulations of the SEC with respect thereto.  Such financial statements have been prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles, consistently applied, during the periods involved (except (i) as may be otherwise indicated in such financial statements or the notes thereto, or (ii) in the case of unaudited interim statements, to the extent they may exclude footnotes or may be condensed or summary statements) and fairly present in all material respects the financial position of the Company as of the dates thereof and the results of its operations and cash flows for the periods then ended (subject, in the case of unaudited statements, to normal year-end audit adjustments).  No other information provided by or on behalf of the Company to the Buyer which is not included in the Company’s SEC Documents, including, without limitation, information referred to in this Agreement, contains any untrue statement of a material fact or omits to state any material fact necessary in order to make the statements therein, in the light of the circumstance under which they are or were made, not misleading.

 

4.8. Absence of Certain Changes.  Since the Last Audited Date, there has been no Material Adverse Effect, except as disclosed in the Company’s SEC Documents. Since the Last Audited Date, except as provided in the Company’s SEC Documents, the Company has not (i) incurred or become subject to any material liabilities (absolute or contingent) except liabilities incurred in the ordinary course of business consistent with past practices; (ii) discharged or satisfied any material lien or encumbrance or paid any material obligation or liability (absolute or contingent), other than current liabilities paid in the ordinary course of business consistent with past practices; (iii) declared or made any payment or distribution of cash or other property to stockholders with respect to its capital stock, or purchased or redeemed, or made any agreements to purchase or redeem, any shares of its capital stock; (iv) sold, assigned or transferred any other material tangible assets, or canceled any material debts owed to the Company by any third party or material claims of the Company against any third party, except in the ordinary course of business consistent with past practices; (v) waived any rights of material value, whether or not in the ordinary course of business, or suffered the loss of any material amount of existing business; (vi) made any increases in employee compensation, except in the ordinary course of business consistent with past practices; or (vii) experienced any material problems with labor or management in connection with the terms and conditions of their employment.

4.10. Absence of Litigation. There is no action, suit, proceeding, inquiry or investigation before or by any court, public board or body pending or, to the knowledge of the Company, threatened against or affecting the Company before or by any governmental authority or non-governmental department, commission, board, bureau, agency or instrumentality or any other person, wherein an unfavorable decision, ruling or finding would have a Material Adverse Effect or which would adversely affect the validity or enforceability of, or the authority or ability of the Company to perform its obligations under, any of the Transaction Documents.  The Company is not aware of any valid basis for any such claim that (either individually or in the aggregate with all other such events and circumstances) could reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect. There are no outstanding or unsatisfied judgments, orders, decrees, writs, injunctions or stipulations to which the Company is a party or by which it or any of its properties is bound, that involve the transactions contemplated herein or that, alone or in the aggregate, could reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect.

 

4.11. Absence of Events of Default.  Neither the Company nor any of its Subsidiaries is in violation of or in default with respect to (i) its Certificate of Incorporation or bylaws or other organizational documents, each as currently in effect, or any material judgment, order, writ, decree, statute, rule or regulation applicable to such entity; or (ii) any material mortgage, indenture, agreement, instrument or contract to which such entity is a party or by which it or any of its properties or assets are bound (nor is there any waiver in effect which, if not in effect, would result in such a violation or default), except such breach or default which would not have or result in a Material Adverse Effect.

(a) A petition under the federal bankruptcy laws or any state insolvency law was filed by or against, or a receiver, fiscal agent or similar officer was appointed by a court for the business or property of such Company Control Person, or any partnership in which he or she was a general partner at or within two (2) years before the time of such filing, or any corporation or business association of which he or she was an executive officer at or within two (2) years before the time of such filing;

 

(b) Such Company Control Person was convicted in a criminal proceeding or is a named subject of a pending criminal proceeding (excluding traffic violations and other minor offenses);

(iii) engaging in any activity in connection with the purchase or sale of any security or commodity or in connection with any violation of federal or state securities laws or federal commodities laws;

The Company has no liabilities or obligations other than those disclosed in the Transaction Documents or the Company’s SEC Documents or those incurred in the ordinary course of the Company’s business since the Last Audited Date, or which individually or in the aggregate, do not or would not have a Material Adverse Effect.  No event or circumstance has occurred or exists with respect to the Company or its properties, business, operations, condition (financial or otherwise), or results of operations, which, under applicable laws, rules or regulations, requires public disclosure or announcement prior to the date hereof by the Company but which has not been so publicly announced or disclosed.  There are no proposals currently under consideration or currently anticipated to be under consideration by the Board of Directors or the executive officers of the Company which proposal would (i) change the Certificate of Incorporation or bylaws of the Company, each as currently in effect, with or without stockholder approval, which change would reduce or otherwise adversely affect the rights and powers of the stockholders of the Common Stock or (ii) materially or substantially change the business, assets or capital of the Company, including its interests in Subsidiaries.

 

4.14. No Integrated Offering.  Neither the Company nor any of its Affiliates nor any Person acting on its or their behalf has, directly or indirectly, made any offer or sale of any security of the Company or solicited any offer to buy any such security under circumstances that would eliminate the availability of the exemption from registration under Regulation D in connection with the offer and sale of the Securities as contemplated hereby.

 

4.15. Dilution.  Each of the Company and its executive officers and directors is aware that the number of shares of Common Stock issuable upon the execution of this Agreement, the conversion of the Note and exercise of the Warrants, or pursuant to the other terms of the Transaction Documents may have a dilutive effect on the ownership interests of the other stockholders (and Persons having the right to become stockholders) of the Company.  The Company specifically acknowledges that its obligation to issue (i) the Conversion Shares upon conversion of the Note, and (ii) the Warrant Shares upon exercise of the Warrants, is binding upon the Company and enforceable regardless of the dilution such issuance may have on the ownership interests of other stockholders of the Company, and the Company will honor such obligations, including honoring every Conversion Notice and Notice of Exercise, unless the Company is subject to an injunction (which injunction was not sought by the Company or any of its directors or executive officers) prohibiting the Company from doing so.

 

4.16. Fees to Brokers, Placement Agents and Others.  The Company has taken no action which would give rise to any claim by any Person for a brokerage commission, placement agent or finder’s fees or similar payments by the Buyer relating to this Agreement or the transactions contemplated hereby.  Except for such fees arising as a result of any agreement or arrangement entered into by the Buyer without the knowledge of the Company (a “Buyer’s Fee”), the Buyer shall have no obligation with respect to such fees or with respect to any claims made by or on behalf of other Persons for fees of a type contemplated in this subsection that may be due in connection with the transactions contemplated hereby.  The Company shall indemnify and hold harmless each of the Buyer, its employees, officers, directors, stockholders, managers, agents, and partners, and their respective Affiliates, from and against all claims, losses, damages, costs (including the costs of preparation and attorneys’ fees) and expenses suffered in respect of any such claimed or existing fees (other than a Buyer’s Fee, if any).

 

4.17. Disclosure.  All information relating to or concerning the Company set forth in the Transaction Documents or in the Company’s SEC Documents or other public filings provided by or on behalf of the Company to the Buyer is true and correct in all material respects and the Company has not omitted to state any material fact necessary in order to make the statements made, in light of the circumstances under which they were made, not misleading.  No event or circumstance has occurred or exists with respect to the Company or its business, properties, prospects, operations or financial conditions, which under applicable laws, rules or regulations, requires public disclosure or announcement by the Company.

 

4.18. Confirmation.  The Company agrees that, if, to the knowledge of the Company, any events occur or circumstances exist prior to Closing which would make any of the Company’s representations or warranties set forth herein materially untrue or materially inaccurate as of such date, the Company shall immediately notify the Buyer in writing prior to such date of such events or circumstances, specifying which representations or warranties are affected and the reasons therefor.

 

4.19. Title. The Company and the Subsidiaries, if applicable, own and have good and marketable title in fee simple absolute to, or a valid leasehold interest in, all their respective real properties and good title to their other respective assets and properties, subject to no liens, claims or encumbrances except as have been disclosed to the Buyer.

 

4.20. Intellectual Property.

 

(a) Ownership.  The Company owns or possesses or can obtain on commercially reasonable terms sufficient legal rights to all patents, trademarks, service marks, trade names, copyrights, trade secrets, licenses (software or otherwise), information, know-how, inventions, discoveries, published and unpublished works of authorship, processes and any and all other proprietary rights (“Intellectual Property”) necessary to the business of the Company as presently conducted, the lack of which could reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect.  Except for agreements with its own employees or consultants, standard end-user license agreements, support/maintenance agreements and agreements entered in the ordinary course of the Company’s business, there are no outstanding options, licenses or agreements relating to the Intellectual Property of the Company, and the Company is not bound by or a party to any options, licenses or agreements with respect to the Intellectual Property of any other person or entity.  The Company has not received any written communication alleging that the Company has violated or, by conducting its business as currently conducted, would violate any of the Intellectual Property of any other person or entity, nor is the Company aware of any basis therefor.  The Company is not obligated to make any payments by way of royalties, fees or otherwise to any owner or licensor of or claimant to any Intellectual Property with respect to the use thereof in connection with the present conduct of its business other than in the ordinary course of its business.  There are no agreements, understandings, instruments, contracts, judgments, orders or decrees to which the Company is a party or by which it is bound which involve indemnification by the Company with respect to infringements of Intellectual Property, other than in the ordinary course of its business.

 

(b) No Breach by Employees.  The Company is not aware that any of its employees is obligated under any contract or other agreement, or subject to any judgment, decree or order of any court or administrative agency, that would materially interfere with the use of his or her efforts to promote the interests of the Company or that would conflict with the Company’s business as presently conducted.  Neither the execution nor delivery of this Agreement, nor the carrying on of the Company’s business by the employees of the Company, nor the conduct of the Company’s business as presently conducted, will, to the Company’s knowledge, conflict with or result in a breach of the terms, conditions or provisions of, or constitute a default under, any contract, covenant or instrument under which any such employee is now obligated.  The Company does not believe it is or will be necessary to use any inventions of any of its employees made prior to their employment by the Company of which it is aware.

 

4.21. Opinion. The Company shall accept an opinion letter prepared by legal counsel of Buyer’s choosing (the “Opinion Letter”), stating that (i) the Company is not a “Shell Company” as such term is defined in Rule 144, (ii) the Company has not been a Shell Company for the preceding twelve (12) months, (iii) the Company is in compliance with all filing requirements under Rule 144 as of the date hereof, and (iv) the Shares may be sold by the Buyer without any restrictions pursuant to Rule 144, so long as the applicable holding period specified by Rule 144 is satisfied, and, as applicable, the Company shall give instructions to its Transfer Agent to issue shares of Common Stock upon conversion of the Note and/or exercise of the Warrants based upon or otherwise consistent with such Opinion Letter.

 

4.22. Environmental Matters.

 

(a) No Violation. There are, to the Company’s knowledge, with respect to the Company or any of its Subsidiaries or any predecessor of the Company, no past or present violations of Environmental Laws (as defined below), releases of any material into the environment, actions, activities, circumstances, conditions, events, incidents, or contractual obligations which may give rise to any common law environmental liability or any liability under the Comprehensive Environmental Response, Compensation and Liability Act of 1980 or similar federal, state, local or foreign laws and neither the Company nor any of its Subsidiaries has received any notice with respect to any of the foregoing, nor is any action pending or, to the Company’s knowledge, threatened in connection with any of the foregoing. The term “Environmental Laws” means all federal, state, local or foreign laws relating to pollution or protection of human health or the environment (including, without limitation, ambient air, surface water, groundwater, land surface or subsurface strata), including, without limitation, laws relating to emissions, discharges, releases or threatened releases of chemicals, pollutants contaminants, or toxic or hazardous substances or wastes (collectively, “Hazardous Materials”) into the environment, or otherwise relating to the manufacture, processing, distribution, use, treatment, storage, disposal, transport or handling of Hazardous Materials, as well as all authorizations, codes, decrees, demands or demand letters, injunctions, judgments, licenses, notices or notice letters, orders, permits, plans or regulations issued, entered, promulgated or approved thereunder.

 

(b) No Hazardous Materials. Other than those that are or were stored, used or disposed of in compliance with applicable law, no Hazardous Materials are contained on or about any real property currently owned, leased or used by the Company or any of its Subsidiaries, and no Hazardous Materials were released on or about any real property previously owned, leased or used by the Company or any of its Subsidiaries during the period the property was owned, leased or used by the Company or any of its Subsidiaries, except in the normal course of the Company’s or any of its Subsidiaries’ business.

 

(c) No Storage Tanks.  There are no underground storage tanks on or under any real property owned, leased or used by the Company or any of its Subsidiaries that are not in compliance with applicable law.

 

5. CERTAIN COVENANTS AND ACKNOWLEDGMENTS.

 

5.1. Covenants and Acknowledgements of the Buyer.

 

(a) Transfer Restrictions.  The Buyer acknowledges that (1) the Securities have not been and are not being registered under the provisions of the 1933 Act and, except as included in an effective Registration Statement, the Shares have not been and are not being registered under the 1933 Act, and may not be transferred unless (A) subsequently registered thereunder, or (B) the Buyer shall have delivered to the Company an opinion of counsel, reasonably satisfactory in form, scope and substance to the Company, to the effect that the Securities to be sold or transferred may be sold or transferred pursuant to an exemption from registration under the 1933 Act; (2) any sale of the Securities made in reliance on Rule 144 may be made only in accordance with the terms of such Rule and further, if such Rule is not applicable, any resale of such Securities under circumstances in which the seller, or the Person through whom the sale is made, may be deemed to be an underwriter, as that term is used in the 1933 Act, may require compliance with some other exemption under the 1933 Act or the rules and regulations of the SEC thereunder; and (3) except as otherwise provided herein, neither the Company nor any other Person is under any obligation to register the Securities under the 1933 Act or to comply with the terms and conditions of any exemption thereunder.

 

(b) Restrictive Legend.  The Buyer acknowledges and agrees that, until such time as the relevant Securities have been registered under the 1933 Act, and may be sold in accordance with an effective Registration Statement, or until such Securities can otherwise be sold without restriction, whichever is earlier, the certificates and other instruments representing any of the Securities shall bear a restrictive legend in substantially the following form (and a stop-transfer order may be placed against transfer of any such Securities):

 

THESE SECURITIES HAVE NOT BEEN REGISTERED UNDER THE SECURITIES ACT OF 1933, AS AMENDED, OR THE SECURITIES LAWS OF ANY STATE AND MAY NOT BE SOLD OR OFFERED FOR SALE IN THE ABSENCE OF AN EFFECTIVE REGISTRATION STATEMENT FOR THE SECURITIES OR AN OPINION OF COUNSEL OR OTHER EVIDENCE ACCEPTABLE TO THE COMPANY THAT SUCH REGISTRATION IS NOT REQUIRED.

5.2. Covenants, Acknowledgements and Agreements of the Company. As a condition to the Buyer’s obligation to purchase the Securities contemplated by this Agreement, and as a material inducement for the Buyer to enter into this Agreement and the other Transaction Documents, until all of the Company’s obligations hereunder and the Note are paid and performed in full or within the timeframes otherwise specifically set forth below, the Company shall comply with the following covenants:

 

(a) Filings.  From the date hereof until the date that is six (6) months after all the Conversion Shares and Warrant Shares either have been sold by the Buyer, or may permanently be sold by the Buyer without any restrictions pursuant to Rule 144 (the “Registration Period”), the Company shall  timely make all filings required to be made by it under the 1933 Act, the 1934 Act, Rule 144 or any United States state securities laws and regulations thereof applicable to the Company or by the rules and regulations of the Principal Trading Market, and such filings shall conform to the requirements of applicable laws, regulations and government agencies, and, unless such filings are publicly available on the SEC’s EDGAR system (via the SEC’s web site at no additional charge), the Company shall provide a copy thereof to the Buyer promptly after such filings. Without limiting the foregoing, the Company agrees to file a Form D with respect to the Securities as required under Regulation D and to provide a copy thereof to the Buyer promptly after such filing. Additionally, within four (4) Trading Days following the date of this Agreement, the Company shall file a current report on Form 8-K describing the terms of the transactions contemplated by the Transaction Documents in the form required by the 1934 Act and approved by the Buyer (such approval not to be unreasonably withheld) and attaching the material Transaction Documents as exhibits to such filing.  Additionally, the Company shall furnish to the Buyer, so long as the Buyer owns any Securities, promptly upon request, (1) a written statement by the Company that it has complied with the reporting requirements of Rule 144, the 1933 Act and the 1934 Act, (2) a copy of the most recent annual or quarterly report of the Company, and (3) such other information as may be reasonably requested to permit the Buyer to sell such Securities pursuant to Rule 144 without registration at any time such securities would otherwise be eligible for resale pursuant to Rule 144.

 

(b) Reporting Status.  So long as the Buyer beneficially owns Securities and for at least twenty (20) Trading Days thereafter, the Company shall file all reports required to be filed with the SEC pursuant to Sections 13 or 15(d) of the 1934 Act, and shall take all reasonable action under its control to ensure that adequate current public information with respect to the Company, as required in accordance with Rule 144, is publicly available, and shall not terminate its status as an issuer required to file reports under the 1934 Act even if the 1934 Act or the rules and regulations thereunder would permit such termination.

 

(c) Listing.  The Common Stock shall be listed or quoted for trading on any of (1) NYSE Amex, (2) the New York Stock Exchange, (3) the Nasdaq Global Market, (4) the Nasdaq Capital Market, (5) the OTC Bulletin Board, or (6) the OTCQX or OTCQB. The Company shall promptly secure the listing of all of the Conversion Shares and Warrant Shares upon each national securities exchange and automated quotation system, if any, upon which the Common Stock is then listed (subject to official notice of issuance) and shall maintain such listing of all securities from time to time issuable under the terms of the Transaction Documents. The Company shall comply in all material respects with the Company’s reporting, filing and other obligations under the bylaws or rules of the Principal Trading Market and/or the Financial Industry Regulatory Authority, Inc. (“FINRA”) or any successor thereto, as the case may be, applicable to it at least through the date which is sixty (60) calendar days after the later of (1) the date on which the Note has been converted or paid in full, or (2) the date on which the Warrants have been exercised in full.

 

(d) Use of Proceeds.  The Company shall use the net proceeds received hereunder for working capital and general corporate purposes only; provided, however, the Company will not use such proceeds to pay fees payable (1) to any broker or finder relating to the offer and sale of the Note and/or the Warrants, or (2) to any other party relating to any financing transaction effected prior to the Closing Date.

 

(e) Publicity, Filings, Releases, Etc.  Neither party shall disseminate any information relating to the Transaction Documents or the transactions contemplated thereby, including issuing any press releases, holding any press conferences or other forums, or filing any reports (collectively, “Publicity”), without giving the other party reasonable advance notice and an opportunity to comment on the contents thereof.  Neither party will include in any such Publicity any statement or statements or other material to which the other party reasonably objects, unless in the reasonable opinion of counsel to the party proposing such statement, such statement is legally required to be included.  In furtherance of the foregoing, the Company shall provide to the Buyer’s Counsel a draft of the first current report on Form 8-K or a quarterly or annual report on Form 10-Q or 10-K, as the case may be, intended to be made with the SEC which refers to the Transaction Documents or the transactions contemplated thereby as soon as practicable (but at least two (2) Trading Days before such filing will be made) and shall not include in such filing (or any other filing filed before then) any statement or statements or other material to which the Buyer reasonably objects, unless in the reasonable opinion of counsel to the Company such statement is legally required to be included.  Notwithstanding the foregoing, each of the parties hereby consents to the inclusion of the text of the Transaction Documents in filings made with the SEC (but any descriptive text accompanying or part of such filing shall be subject to the other provisions of this subsection).

 

(f) FINRA Rule 5110. In the event that the Corporate Financing Rule 5110 of FINRA is or becomes applicable to the transactions contemplated by the Transaction Documents or to the sale by a Holder of any of the Securities, then the Company shall, to the extent required by such rule, timely make any filings and cooperate with any broker or selling stockholder in respect of any consents, authorizations or approvals that may be necessary for FINRA to timely and expeditiously permit the Holder to sell the Securities.

 

(g) Keeping of Records and Books of Account. The Company shall keep and cause each Subsidiary to keep adequate records and books of account, in which complete entries shall be made in accordance with GAAP consistently applied, reflecting all financial transactions of the Company and such Subsidiaries, and in which, for each fiscal year, all proper reserves for depreciation, depletion, obsolescence, amortization, taxes, bad debts and other purposes in connection with its business shall be made.

 

(h) Corporate Existence.  The Company shall (1) do all things necessary to remain duly qualified and in good standing in each jurisdiction in which the character of the properties owned or leased by it or in which the transaction of its business makes such qualification necessary; (2) preserve and keep in full force and effect all licenses or similar qualifications required by it to engage in its business in all jurisdictions in which it is at the time so engaged; (3) continue to engage in business of the same general type as conducted as of the date hereof; and (4) continue to conduct its business substantially as now conducted or as otherwise permitted hereunder.

 

(i) Taxes.  The Company shall pay and discharge promptly when due all taxes, assessments and governmental charges or levies imposed upon it or upon its income or profits or in respect of its property before the same shall become delinquent or in default, which, if unpaid, might reasonably be expected to give rise to liens or charges upon such properties or any part thereof, unless, in each case, the validity or amount thereof is being contested in good faith by appropriate proceedings and the Company has maintained adequate reserves with respect thereto in accordance with GAAP.

 

(j) Compliance. The Company shall comply in all material respects with all federal, state and local laws and regulations, orders, judgments, decrees, injunctions, rules, regulations, permits, licenses, authorizations and requirements (collectively, “Requirements”) of all governmental bodies, insurers, departments, commissions, boards, courts, authorities, officials or officers which are applicable to the Company, its business, operations, or any of its properties, except where the failure to so comply would not have a Material Adverse Effect; provided, however, that nothing provided herein shall prevent the Company from contesting in good faith the validity or the application of any Requirements.

 

(k) Section 3(a)(9) and 3(a)(10) Transaction Consent Right.  The Company will not enter into any transaction or arrangement structured in accordance with, based upon, or related or pursuant to, in whole or in part, Section 3(a)(9) or Section 3(a)(10) of the 1933 Act without obtaining the prior express written consent of the Buyer.

 

(l) Litigation.  From and after the date hereof and until all of the Company’s obligations hereunder and the Note are paid and performed in full and the Warrants are exercised in full, the Company shall notify the Buyer in writing, promptly upon learning thereof, of any litigation or administrative proceeding commenced or threatened against the Company involving a claim in excess of $100,000.00.

 

(m) Performance of Obligations.  The Company shall promptly and in a timely fashion perform and honor all demands, notices, requests and obligations that exist or may arise under the Transaction Documents.

 

(n) Failure to Make Timely Filings.  The Company agrees that, if the Company fails to timely file (with a filing pursuant to, and within the periods permitted by, Rule 12b-25 deemed to be timely filed) on the SEC’s EDGAR system any information required to be filed by it, whether on a Form 10-K, Form 10-Q, Form 8-K, Proxy Statement or otherwise so as to be deemed a “reporting issuer” with current public information under the 1934 Act, the Company shall be liable to pay to the Holder, in addition to any other available remedies in the Transaction Documents or at law or equity, an amount based on the following schedule (where “No. Trading Days Late” refers to each Trading Day after the latest due date for the relevant filing):

          10                                                                $1,000.00

        >10                                                                $1,000.00 + $200.00 for each TradingDay Late beyond 10 days

The Company shall pay any payments incurred under this subsection in immediately available funds upon demand by the Holder; provided, however, that the Holder making the demand may specify that the payment shall be made in shares of Common Stock at the Conversion Price (as defined in and determined pursuant to the Note) applicable to the date of such demand.  If the payment is to be made in shares of Common Stock, such shares shall be considered Conversion Shares under the Note, with the “Delivery Date” for such shares being determined from the date of such demand. The demand for payment of such amount in shares of Common Stock shall be considered a “Conversion Notice” under the Note (but the delivery of such shares shall be in payment of the amount contemplated by this subsection and not in payment of any principal or interest on the Note).

 

(o) Authorized Shares.  The Company shall take all action necessary to, at all times, have authorized and reserved for the purpose of issuance: (i) the higher of such number of shares of Common Stock (1) as shall be necessary to effect the full conversion of the Note as of the relevant date of determination, multiplied by two, and (2) equal to two times the Outstanding Balance (as defined in the Note) of the Note as of the relevant date of determination, divided by the then-current Conversion Price (as defined in and determined pursuant to the Note) (the “Note Share Reserve”); plus (ii) the higher of such number of shares of Common Stock (1) as shall be necessary to effect the complete exercise of all of the Warrants as of the relevant date of determination, multiplied by two, and (2) equal to the number of Delivery Shares (as defined in the Warrants) that would be required to be delivered to the Holder in order to effect a complete exercise of all of the Warrants pursuant to the terms thereof as of the relevant date of determination (the “Warrants Share Reserve,” and together with the Note Share Reserve, the “Share Reserve”).  If at any time the Share Reserve is less than required herein at such time, the Company shall immediately increase the Share Reserve in an amount equal to no less than the deficiency.  If the Company does not have sufficient authorized and unissued shares of Common Stock available to increase the Share Reserve, the Company shall call a special meeting of the stockholders as soon as practicable after such occurrence, but in no event later than thirty (30) calendar days after such occurrence (and hold such meeting as soon as practicable thereafter, but in no event later than thirty (30) calendar days after calling the meeting as required above), for the sole purpose of increasing the number of authorized shares of Common Stock. The Company’s management shall recommend to the Company’s stockholders to vote in favor of increasing the number of authorized shares of Common Stock.  Management shall also vote all of its shares in favor of increasing the number of authorized shares of Common Stock. The Company shall use its best efforts to cause such additional shares of Common Stock to be authorized so as to comply with the requirements of this Section.  All calculations with respect to determining the Note Share Reserve and the Warrants Share Reserve shall be made without regard to any limitations on conversion of the Note or exercise of any of the Warrants).

 

(p) DTC and DWAC Eligibility. For so long as (1) any portion of the Note remains outstanding, or (2) any portion of any of the Warrants remains unexercised, the Company shall use its best efforts to (i) maintain eligibility to participate in The Depository Trust Company’s Fast Automated Securities Transfer Program, and (ii) maintain Deposit Withdrawal at Custodian (“DWAC”) eligibility.

 

(q) Anti-Dilution Certification.  For so long as any portion of the Note remains outstanding, the Company shall deliver to the Buyer on or before the 10th day of each month a certification in the form attached hereto as ANNEX XXIV whereby the Company shall notify the Buyer of any events that occurred during the previous month that trigger anti-dilution protection or other adjustments to the applicable Conversion Price (as defined in and determined pursuant to the Note) or Exercise Price (as defined in and determined pursuant to the Warrants) (collectively, “Adjustment Events”) under the Note and the Warrants, as applicable, or, if no Adjustment Events occurred, certifying to the Buyer that no Adjustment Events occurred during the previous month.

 

(r) [intentionally omitted]

 

(s) Change in Nature of Business. The Company shall not directly or indirectly engage in any material line of business substantially different from those lines of business conducted by or publicly contemplated to be conducted by the Company on the date of this Agreement or any business substantially related or incidental thereto. The Company shall not, and the Company shall cause each of its Subsidiaries to not, directly or indirectly, modify its or their corporate structure or purpose if such modification may have a material adverse effect on any rights of, or benefits to, the Holder under any of the Transaction Documents.

 

(t) Maintenance of Properties, Etc. The Company shall maintain and preserve, and cause each of its Subsidiaries to maintain and preserve, all of its properties which are necessary or useful in the proper conduct of its business, in good working order and condition, ordinary wear and tear excepted, and comply, and cause each of its Subsidiaries to comply, at all times with the provisions of all leases to which it is a party as lessee or under which it occupies property, so as to prevent any loss or forfeiture thereof or thereunder.

 

(u) Maintenance of Insurance.  The Company shall maintain, and cause each of its Subsidiaries to maintain, insurance with responsible and reputable insurance companies or associations (including, without limitation, comprehensive general liability, hazard, rent and business interruption insurance) with respect to its properties (including all real properties leased or owned by it) and business, in such amounts and covering such risks as is required by any governmental authority having jurisdiction with respect thereto or as is carried generally in accordance with sound business practice by companies in similar businesses similarly situated.

 

(v) Restriction on Redemption. The Company shall not, directly or indirectly, redeem or repurchase its capital stock without the prior express written consent of the Holder.

 

(w) Restriction on Transfer of Assets. The Company shall not, and the Company shall cause each of its Subsidiaries to not, directly or indirectly, sell, lease, license, assign, transfer, convey or otherwise dispose of any assets or rights of the Company or any Subsidiary owned or hereafter acquired, whether in a single transaction or a series of related transactions, other than (A) sales, leases, licenses, assignments, transfers, conveyances and other dispositions of such assets or rights supported by fair market value consideration as determined in the reasonable discretion of the board of directors or the Chief Executive Officer of the Company or its Subsidiary, as the case may be, or (B) sales of inventory in the ordinary course of business.

 

(x) Existence of Liens. The Company shall not, and the Company shall cause each of its Subsidiaries to not, directly or indirectly, allow, grant, or suffer to exist any mortgage, lien, pledge, charge, security interest or other encumbrance (collectively, “Liens”), upon the property or assets (including accounts and contract rights) owned by the Company or any of its Subsidiaries, other than Permitted Liens.

 

(y) Intellectual Property.  The Company shall not, and the Company shall not permit any of its Subsidiaries, directly or indirectly, to encumber or allow any Liens on, any of its copyright rights, copyright applications, copyright registrations and like protections in each work of authorship and derivative work, whether published or unpublished, any patents, patent applications and like protections, including improvements, divisions, continuations, renewals, reissues, extensions, and continuations-in-part of the same, trademarks, service marks and, to the extent permitted under applicable law, any applications therefor, whether registered or not, and the goodwill of the business of the Company and its Subsidiaries connected with and symbolized thereby, know-how, operating manuals, trade secret rights, rights to unpatented inventions, and any claims for damage by way of any past, present, or future infringement of any of the foregoing, other than Permitted Liens.

 

(z) Transactions with Affiliates.  The Company shall not, nor shall it permit any of its Subsidiaries to, enter into, renew, extend or be a party to, any transaction or series of related transactions (including, without limitation, the purchase, sale, lease, transfer or exchange of property or assets of any kind or the rendering of services of any kind) with any Affiliate, except in the ordinary course of business in a manner and to an extent consistent with past practice and necessary or desirable for the prudent operation of its business, for fair consideration and on terms no less favorable to it or its Subsidiaries than would be obtainable in a comparable arm’s length transaction with a person that is not an Affiliate thereof.

 

(aa) Certain Negative Covenants of the Company.  From and after the date hereof and until all of the Company’s obligations hereunder and the Note are paid and performed in full, the Company shall not:

 

(i) Incur any new indebtedness for borrowed money that includes an equity conversion component; provided, however, that if the Company is in breach of any of its obligations under this Agreement, then Buyer shall also have the right, in its sole and absolute discretion, to disallow any new indebtedness for borrowed money without the prior written consent of Buyer.

 

(ii) Transfer, assign, sell, pledge, hypothecate or otherwise alienate or encumber any of the Buyer Trust Deed Notes or the Buyer Notes in any way without the prior written consent of the Buyer.

 

(iii) Enter into any transaction, including, without limitation, any purchase, sale, lease or exchange of property or the rendering of any service, with any Affiliate of the Company, or amend or modify any agreement related to any of the foregoing, except on terms that are no less favorable, in any material respect, than those obtainable from any person or entity who is not an Affiliate of the Company.

 

(bb) Transfer Agent Reserve.  From and after the date hereof and until all of the Company’s obligations hereunder and the Note are paid and performed in full and the Warrants are exercised in full (or otherwise expired):

(iv) the Company shall cause the Transfer Agent to agree that it will not reduce the Transfer Agent Reserve under any circumstances, unless such reduction is pre-approved in writing by the Holder;

 

(v) no less frequently than quarterly, the Company shall recalculate the Transfer Agent Reserve as of such time (each a “Transfer Agent Reserve Calculation”), and if additional shares of Common Stock are required to be added to the Transfer Agent Reserve pursuant to subsection (i) immediately above, the Company shall immediately give instructions to the Transfer Agent to cause the Transfer Agent to set aside and increase the Transfer Agent Reserve by the necessary number of shares of Common Stock; and

 

(vi) no less frequently than quarterly, the Company shall certify in writing to the Holder (1) the correctness of the Company’s Transfer Agent Reserve Calculation and (2) that either (A) the Company has instructed the Transfer Agent to increase the Transfer Agent Reserve in accordance with the terms hereof, or (B) there was no need to increase the Transfer Agent Reserve, in either case consistent with the Transfer Agent Reserve Calculation.

 

For the avoidance of any doubt, the requirements of this Section 5.2(bb) are material to this Agreement and any violation or breach thereof by the Company shall constitute a default under this Agreement.

 

6. TRANSFER AGENT INSTRUCTIONS.

 

6.1. The Company warrants that, with respect to the Securities, other than the stop transfer instructions to give effect to Section 5.1(a) hereof, it will give the Transfer Agent no instructions inconsistent with the Transfer Agent Letter. Except as required by Sections 5.1(a) and 5.1(b) of this Agreement and the Transfer Agent Letter, the Shares shall otherwise be freely transferable on the books and records of the Company as and to the extent provided in this Agreement and the other Transaction Documents.  Nothing in this Section shall affect in any way the Buyer’s obligations and agreement to comply with all applicable securities laws upon resale of the Securities.  If the Buyer provides the Company with an opinion of counsel reasonably satisfactory to the Company that registration of a resale by the Buyer of any of the Securities in accordance with clause (1)(B) of Section 5.1(a) of this Agreement is not required under the 1933 Act or upon request from a Holder while an applicable Registration Statement is effective, the Company shall (except as provided in clause (2) of Section 5.1(a) of this Agreement) permit the transfer of the Securities and, in the case of the Conversion Shares and the Warrant Shares, as may be applicable, use its best efforts to cause the Transfer Agent to promptly electronically transmit to the Holder via DWAC such Conversion Shares or Warrant Shares.  The Company specifically covenants that, as of the Closing Date, the Transfer Agent shall be (a) participating in the DWAC program, and (b) DWAC eligible.  Moreover, the Company shall notify the Buyer in writing if the Company at any time while the Holder holds Securities becomes aware of any plans of the Transfer Agent to terminate such DWAC participation or eligibility.  While any Holder holds Securities, the Company shall at all times after the Closing Date maintain a transfer agent which participates in the DWAC program and is DWAC eligible, and the Company shall not appoint any transfer agent which does not both participate in the DWAC program and maintain DWAC eligibility.  Nevertheless, if at any time that the Company receives a Conversion Notice the Transfer Agent is not participating in the DWAC program or the Conversion Shares or Warrant Shares are not otherwise transferable via the DWAC program, then the Company shall instruct the Transfer Agent to immediately issue one or more certificates for Common Stock without legend in such name and in such denominations as specified by the Holder.  In the event the Transfer Agent is not DWAC eligible on any Conversion Date or Exercise Date (as defined in the Warrants), and consequently the Company issues Conversion Shares or Warrant Shares pursuant to a Conversion Notice or Notice of Exercise in certificated rather than electronic form, then in such event the amount set forth in Section 5.2(p) shall be added to the principal balance of the Note.

 

6.2. [intentionally omitted]

 

6.3. The Company shall assume any fees or charges of the Transfer Agent or Company Counsel regarding (i) the removal of a legend or stop transfer instructions with respect to the Securities, and (ii) the issuance of certificates or DWAC registration to or in the name of the Holder or the Holder’s designee or to a transferee as contemplated by an effective Registration Statement.  Notwithstanding the foregoing, it shall be the Holder’s responsibility to obtain all needed formal requirements (specifically: medallion guarantee and prospectus delivery compliance) in connection with any electronic issuance of shares of Common Stock.

 

6.4. The Holder of the Note shall be entitled to exercise its conversion privilege with respect to such Note, notwithstanding the commencement of any case under 11 U.S.C. §101 et seq. (the “Bankruptcy Code”).  In the event the Company is a debtor under the Bankruptcy Code, the Company hereby waives, to the fullest extent permitted, any rights to relief it may have under 11 U.S.C. §362 in respect of such Holder’s exercise privilege.  The Company hereby waives, to the fullest extent permitted, any rights to relief it may have under 11 U.S.C. §362 in respect of the conversion of such Note. The Company agrees, without cost or expense to such Holder, to take or to consent to any and all action necessary to effectuate relief under 11 U.S.C. §362.

 

7. CLOSING DATE.

 

7.1. The Closing Date shall occur on the date which is the first Trading Day after each of the conditions contemplated by Sections 8 and 9 hereof shall have either been satisfied or been waived by the party in whose favor such conditions run.

 

7.2. Closing of the purchase and sale of the Securities, which the parties anticipate shall occur concurrently with the execution of this Agreement, shall occur at the offices of the Buyer and shall take place no later than 3:00 P.M., Eastern Time, or on such day or such other time as is mutually agreed upon by the Company and the Buyer.

 

8. CONDITIONS TO THE COMPANY’S OBLIGATION TO SELL.

8.3. The accuracy on the Closing Date of the representations and warranties of the Buyer contained in this Agreement, each as if made on such date, and the performance by the Buyer on or before such date of all covenants and agreements of the Buyer required to be performed on or before such date.

 

8.4. There shall not be in effect any law, rule or regulation prohibiting or restricting the transactions contemplated hereby, or requiring any consent or approval which shall not have been obtained.

 

9. CONDITIONS TO THE BUYER’S OBLIGATION TO PURCHASE. The Buyer’s obligation to purchase the Securities from the Company pursuant to this Agreement on the Closing Date is conditioned upon and subject to the fulfillment, on or prior to the Closing Date, of all of the following conditions, any of which may be waived in whole or in part by the Buyer:

 

9.1. The execution and delivery of this Agreement, the Security Agreement, the Request, the Escrow Agreement, the Registration Rights Agreement, the Transfer Agent Letter, and, as applicable, the other Transaction Documents by the Company.

 

9.2. The delivery by the Company to the Buyer of the Note and the Warrants, each in original form, duly executed by the Company, in accordance with this Agreement.

 

9.3. A fully executed written consent of directors or secretary’s certificate, in form acceptable to Buyer in its sole discretion, evidencing the Company’s approval of the Transaction Documents.

 

9.4. On the Closing Date, each of the Transaction Documents executed by the Company on or before such date shall be in full force and effect and the Company shall not be in default thereunder.

 

9.5. The Share Reserve shall be sufficient to effect the full conversion of the Note and exercise of the Warrants as of the Closing Date.

 

9.6. The accuracy in all material respects on the Closing Date of the representations and warranties of the Company contained in this Agreement and the other Transaction Documents, each as if made on such date, and the performance by the Company on or before such date of all covenants and agreements of the Company required to be performed on or before such date.

 

9.7. There shall not be in effect any law, rule or regulation prohibiting or restricting the transactions contemplated hereby, or requiring any consent or approval which shall not have been obtained.

 

9.8. From and after the date hereof up to and including the Closing Date, each of the following conditions will remain in effect: (i) the trading of the Common Stock shall not have been suspended by the SEC or on the Principal Trading Market; (ii) trading in securities generally on the Principal Trading Market shall not have been suspended or limited; (iii) no minimum prices shall been established for securities traded on the Principal Trading Market; (iv) there shall not have been any material adverse change in any financial market; and (v) there shall not have occurred any Material Adverse Effect.

 

9.9. Except for any notices required or permitted to be filed after the Closing Date with certain federal and state securities commissions, the Company shall have obtained (i) all governmental approvals required in connection with the lawful sale and issuance of the Securities, and (ii) all third party approvals required to be obtained by the Company in connection with the execution and delivery of the Transaction Documents by the Company or the performance of the Company’s obligations thereunder.

 

9.10. All corporate and other proceedings in connection with the transactions contemplated at the Closing and all documents and instruments incident to such transactions shall be reasonably satisfactory in substance and form to the Buyer.

 

9.11. Gray shall have delivered to the Buyer the Subordination Agreement, duly executed by Gray, and shall have otherwise complied with all the requirements of Section 2.1(b)(ii) hereof.

 

10. INDEMNIFICATION.

 

10.1. The Company agrees to defend, indemnify and forever hold harmless the Buyer and its stockholders, directors, officers, managers, members, partners, Affiliates, employees, and agents, and each Buyer Control Person (collectively, the “Buyer Parties”) from and against any losses, claims, damages, liabilities or expenses incurred (collectively, “Damages”), joint or several, and any action in respect thereof to which the Buyer or any of the other Buyer Parties becomes subject, resulting from, arising out of or relating to any misrepresentation, breach of warranty or nonfulfillment of or failure to perform any covenant or agreement on the part of the Company contained in this Agreement or any of the other Transaction Documents, as such Damages are incurred. The Buyer Parties with the right to be indemnified under this Section (the “Indemnified Parties”) shall have the right to defend any such action or proceeding with attorneys of their own selection, and the Company shall be solely responsible for all costs and expenses related thereto.  If the Indemnified Parties opt not to retain their own counsel, the Company shall defend any such action or proceeding with attorneys of its choosing at its sole cost and expense, provided that such attorneys have been pre-approved by the Indemnified Parties, which approval shall not be unreasonably withheld, and provided further that the Company may not settle any such action or proceeding without first obtaining the written consent of the Indemnified Parties.

 

10.2. The indemnity contained in this Agreement shall be in addition to (i) any cause of action or similar rights of the Buyer Parties against the Company or others, and (ii) any other liabilities the Company may be subject to.

 

11. SPECIFIC PERFORMANCE.  The Company and the Buyer acknowledge and agree that irreparable damage would occur in the event that any provision of this Agreement or any of the other Transaction Documents were not performed in accordance with its specific terms or were otherwise breached.  It is accordingly agreed that the parties (including any Holder) shall be entitled to an injunction or injunctions, without the necessity to post a bond (except as specified below), to prevent or cure breaches of the provisions of this Agreement or any of the other Transaction Documents and to enforce specifically the terms and provisions hereof or thereof, this being in addition to any other remedy to which any of them may be entitled by law or equity; provided, however, that the Company, upon receipt of a Conversion Notice or a Notice of Exercise concerning a Conversion Eligible Tranche (as defined in the Note) or a Warrant that is exercisable pursuant to its terms due to the Holder paying in full in cash the corresponding Buyer Trust Deed Note or Buyer Note, (a) may not fail or refuse to deliver shares or certificates representing shares of Common Stock in accordance with the terms and conditions of the Transaction Documents, or (b) if there is a claim for a breach by the Company of any other provision of this Agreement or any of the other Transaction Documents, the Company shall not raise as a legal defense to performance any claim that the Holder or anyone associated or affiliated with the Holder has violated any provision hereof or any of the other Transaction Documents or has engaged in any violation of law or any other claim or defense, in either case unless the Company has first posted a bond for one hundred fifty percent (150%) of the principal amount and, if relevant, then obtained a court order specifically directing it not to deliver such shares or certificates to the Holder. The proceeds of such bond shall be payable to the Holder to the extent that the Holder obtains judgment or its defense is recognized.  Such bond shall remain in effect until the completion of the relevant proceeding and, if the Holder appeals therefrom, until all such appeals are exhausted.  This provision is deemed incorporated by reference into each of the Transaction Documents as if set forth therein in full.

 

12. OWNERSHIP LIMITATION. If at any time after the Closing, the Buyer shall or would receive shares of Common Stock in payment of interest or principal under the Note or upon conversion of the Note or exercise of the Warrants, so that the Buyer would, together with other shares of Common Stock held by it or its Affiliates, hold by virtue of such action or receipt of additional shares of Common Stock a number of shares exceeding 4.99% of the number of shares of Common Stock outstanding on such date (the “Maximum Percentage”), the Company shall not be obligated and shall not issue to the Buyer shares of Common Stock which would exceed the Maximum Percentage, but only until such time as the Maximum Percentage would no longer be exceeded by any such receipt of shares of Common Stock by the Buyer. Notwithstanding the forgoing, at such times that the Market Capitalization (defined below) of the Common Stock is less than $3,000,000.00, the term “4.99%” shall be replaced in the preceding sentence with “9.99%”. For purposes of this Agreement, the term “Market Capitalization of the Common Stock” shall mean the product equal to (i) the average VWAP (as defined in the Note) of the Common Stock for the immediately preceding thirty (30) Trading Days, multiplied by (ii) the aggregate number of outstanding shares of Common Stock as reported on the Company’s most recently filed Form 10-Q or Form 10-K. The foregoing limitations are enforceable, unconditional and non-waivable and shall apply to all Affiliates and assigns of the Buyer. Additionally, if at any time after the Closing the Market Capitalization of the Common Stock falls below $3,000,000.00, then from that point on, for so long as the Buyer or its Affiliate owns Common Stock or rights to acquire Common Stock, the Company shall post, no less frequently than every thirty (30) calendar days, the then-current number of issued and outstanding shares of its capital stock to OTC markets.com so that such information is accessible on the following web page: http://www.otcmarkets.com/stock/ULUR/company-info.  The Company understands that its failure to so post its shares outstanding could result in economic loss to the Holder.  As compensation to the Holder for such loss, in addition to any other available remedies in the Transaction Documents or at law or equity, the Company shall pay the Holder a late fee of $500.00 per calendar day for each calendar day that the Company fails to comply with the foregoing obligation to post its shares outstanding.  As elected by the Holder, the amount of any late fees incurred under this Section 12 shall either be automatically added to the principal balance of the Note or otherwise paid by the Company in immediately available funds upon demand.

 

13. MISCELLANEOUS. The Company and the Buyer hereby agree that the provisions of this Section 13 shall apply to this Agreement and all of the Transaction Documents.

 

13.1. Governing Law and Venue. This Agreement shall be governed by and interpreted in accordance with the laws of the State of Utah for contracts to be wholly performed in such state and without giving effect to the principles thereof regarding the conflict of laws.

Nothing in this subsection shall affect or limit any right to serve process in any other manner permitted by law.

13.2. No Waiver. Any forbearance or delay by a party in exercising any of its rights, remedies, and powers shall not be deemed to be a waiver thereof, and the exercise or partial exercise of any right, remedy, or power, and shall not preclude the further exercise of such right, remedy, and power, and the same shall continue in full force and effect until specifically waived by an instrument in writing executed by such party.

13.12. Assignment by the Company.  Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, the rights, interests or obligations of the Company hereunder may not be assigned, by operation of law or otherwise, in whole or in part, by the Company without the prior written consent of the Buyer, which consent may be withheld at the sole discretion of the Buyer; provided, however, that in the case of a merger, sale of substantially all of the Company’s assets or other corporate reorganization, the Buyer shall not unreasonably withhold, condition or delay such consent.

 

13.13. Advice of Counsel.

As applicable, upon receipt by the Company of evidence reasonably satisfactory to it of the ownership of and the loss, theft, destruction or mutilation of the Note and (i) in the case of loss, theft or destruction, of indemnity reasonably satisfactory to it; or (ii) in the case of mutilation, upon surrender thereof, the Company, at its expense, will execute and deliver in lieu thereof a new secured convertible promissory note executed in the same manner as the Note being replaced, in the same principal amount as the unpaid principal amount of such Note and dated the date to which interest shall have been paid on the Note or, if no interest shall have yet been so paid, dated the date of the Note.
