Shares of Common Stock

 

Par Value $0.001

 

CLASS K WARRANT AGREEMENT

 

(this “Agreement”)

 

THE HOLDER OF THIS WARRANT, BY ACCEPTANCE HEREOF, BOTH WITH RESPECT TO THE WARRANT AND COMMON STOCK ISSUABLE UPON EXERCISE OF THE WARRANT, AGREES AND ACKNOWLEDGES THAT THE SECURITIES REPRESENTED BY THIS AGREEMENT HAVE NOT BEEN REGISTERED UNDER THE SECURITIES ACT OF 1933, AS AMENDED (THE “SECURITIES ACT”), OR UNDER THE SECURITIES LAWS OF ANY STATE. THESE SECURITIES HAVE BEEN ACQUIRED FOR INVESTMENT AND MAY NOT BE OFFERED FOR SALE, SOLD, TRANSFERRED OR ASSIGNED (I) IN THE ABSENCE OF (A) AN EFFECTIVE REGISTRATION STATEMENT UNDER THE SECURITIES ACT AND THE LAWS OF ANY APPLICABLE STATE, OR (B) THE SALE OR TRANSFER BEING EXEMPT FROM REGISTRATION UNDER THE SECURITIES ACT AND SUCH STATE STATUTES, OR (II) UNLESS SOLD PURSUANT TO RULE 144 UNDER THE SECURITIES ACT.

 

This is to certify that, for value received, HealthTronics, Inc. and its successors and assigns (each, a “Holder”) is entitled to purchase from SANUWAVE HEALTH, INC. (the “Company”), on the terms and conditions hereinafter set forth, all or any part of 2,000,000 shares (which number may be adjusted as provided herein) (“Warrant Shares”) of the Company’s common stock, par value $0.001 (the “Common Stock”), at an initial purchase price of $0.11 per share (which amount may be adjusted as provided herein) (“Warrant Price”). Upon exercise of this warrant in whole or in part, a certificate for the Warrant Shares so purchased shall be issued and delivered to the Holder. If, at any time prior to the Expiration Date (as defined below), less than the total warrant is exercised, a new warrant of similar tenor shall be issued for the unexercised portion of the warrant represented by this Agreement. 

 

This warrant is granted subject to the following further terms and conditions:

 

1.       (a)     This warrant shall be exercisable, at any time or from time to time after the execution and delivery of this warrant by the Company on the date hereof and shall expire at 5:00 p.m. Eastern Time on the date that is ten (10) years following the date hereof (the “Expiration Date”), at the option of the Holder, upon surrender of this warrant to the Company together with a duly completed Exercise Notice, in the form attached hereto, and payment of an amount equal to the Warrant Price multiplied by the number of Warrant Shares for which this warrant is then being exercised, which payment may be satisfied, at the option of the Holder, (i) in cash, (ii) through the exercise of Net Exercise Rights (as defined below), or (iii) through any combination of the foregoing clauses (i) – (ii). “Warrant Shares” as used herein means shares of Common Stock, or any other equity securities into which such Common Stock is converted into or exchanged for in a Company Transaction (as defined below).

 

(b)     Except as provided in the following sentence, any exercise of this warrant hereunder shall be deemed to have been effected immediately prior to the close of business on the day on which this warrant is surrendered to the Company as provided in this warrant. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if an exercise of all or any portion of this warrant is being made in connection with (i) a proposed public offering of any capital stock (or other securities) of the Company, (ii) a proposed Company Transaction, (iii) a proposed issuance or sale of capital stock or any other securities of the Company, or (iv) a proposed transfer of capital stock or other securities of the Company, then, at the election of the Holder, such exercise may be conditioned upon the consummation of such public offering, Company Transaction, or issuance, sale or transfer of capital stock or other securities, in which case (A) such exercise shall be effective concurrently with the consummation of such public offering, Company Transaction, or issuance, sale or transfer of capital stock or other securities, and (B) appropriate modifications will be made to the Exercise Notice to reflect the conditionality specified in this sentence. At the effective time of any exercise of this warrant, the person or entity in whose name or names any certificate for the Warrant Shares shall be issuable upon such exercise as provided in this warrant shall be deemed to have become the holder or holders of record of the Warrant Shares represented by such certificate.

 

 

 

 

(c)     In lieu of exercising the purchase rights represented by this warrant on a cash basis, the Holder may elect to exercise such rights represented by this warrant at any time and from time to time during the term, in whole or in part, on a net-issue basis (the “Net Exercise Right”) by electing to receive the number of Warrant Shares which are equal in value to the value of this warrant (or any portion thereof to be canceled in connection with such Net Exercise Right) at the time of any such exercise of the Net Exercise Right, by delivery to the principal offices of the Company of this warrant and a completed and duly executed Notice of Exercise appropriately adjusted to indicate that the Holder is exercising the Net Exercise Right.

 

(d)     In the event that the Holder shall elect to exercise the rights represented by this warrant in whole or in part pursuant to the Net Exercise Rights provided in this Section, the Company shall issue to the Holder the number of Warrant Shares determined in accordance with the following formula:

 

X = Y(A-B)

      A

 

where

 

	 	
			X =

				
			the number of Warrant Shares to be issued to the Holder in connection with such Net Exercise Right.

			

 

	 	
			Y =

				
			the number of Warrant Shares purchasable in respect of which the Net Exercise Right is elected in connection with an exercise of this warrant by the Holder.

			

 

	 	
			A =

				
			the Fair Market Value of one Warrant Share.

			

 

	 	
			B =

				
			the Warrant Price in effect as of the date of exercise of the Net Exercise Right (as adjusted pursuant to this warrant).

			

 

(e)      (i)     For purposes of this warrant, the “Fair Market Value” of Warrant Shares means on any date specified herein, with respect to Warrant Shares, the amount per share equal to (A) the last sale price of Warrant Shares, regular way, on such date or, if no such sale takes place on such date, the average of the closing bid and asked prices thereof on such date, in each case as officially reported on the principal national securities exchange on which the same are then listed or admitted to trading, (B) if no Warrant Shares are then listed or admitted to trading on any national securities exchange, the last sale price of Warrant Shares, regular way, on such date, or, if no such sale takes place on such date, the average of the reported closing bid and asked prices thereof on such date, as quoted in the Nasdaq Global Market, the Nasdaq Capital Market, the Over-the-Counter Summary or Over-the-Counter Markets, or as published by the National Quotation Bureau, Incorporated or any similar organization, (C) if Fair Market Value is being determined in connection with, or at a time when, a Company Transaction is pending, the fair market value of the Warrant Shares implied by the consideration that will be paid in respect of the class of equity in such Company Transaction that is the same as the Warrant Shares, or (D) if no Warrant Shares are then listed or admitted to trading on any national securities exchange or quoted or published in the over-the-counter market, and no Company Transaction is pending, the Fair Value thereof. 

 

2

 

 

(ii)     For purposes of this warrant, “Fair Value” of Warrant Shares means on any date specified herein, the fair value thereof (without the application of any discount for a minority interest or lack of liquidity) as of a date which is within 15 days of the date as of which the determination is to be made (A) determined by agreement between the Company and the Holder, or (B) if the Company and the Holder fail to agree, determined jointly by an independent investment banking firm retained by the Company and by an independent investment banking firm retained by the Holder, neither of which firms may be an independent investment banking firm regularly retained by the Company, or (C) if the Company or the Holder shall fail so to retain an independent investment banking firm within ten business days following a written demand by the Holder or the Company to the other party, determined solely by the firm so retained, or (D) if the firms so retained by the Company and by the Holder shall be unable to reach a joint determination within 15 business days of the retention of the last firm so retained, determined by another independent investment banking firm which is not a regular investment banking firm of the Company chosen by the first two such firms. The Company shall be responsible for the fees and expenses of all such investment banking firms. 

 

(f)      For purposes of this warrant, “Company Transaction” means: (i) a merger or consolidation of the Company with or into any other company, entity or person; (ii) a sale, lease, exchange or other transfer in one transaction or a series of related transactions undertaken with a common purpose of all or a majority of the Company’s then outstanding securities or all or substantially all the Company’s assets; or (iii) a corporate dissolution or liquidation; provided, however, that a Company Transaction shall not include (A) a merger or consolidation of the Company in which the holders of the outstanding voting securities of the Company immediately prior to the merger or consolidation hold at least a majority of the outstanding voting securities of the successor Company immediately after the merger or consolidation, (B) a sale, lease, exchange or other transfer of the Company’s assets to a majority-owned subsidiary of the Company or (C) a transaction undertaken for the principal purpose of reincorporating the Company in a different jurisdiction or creating a holding company, but which in any event does not provide for any distribution of cash or cash equivalents in respect of any security.

 

2.       The Holder acknowledges that (a) this warrant may not be exercised if the issuance of the Warrant Shares upon such exercise would constitute a violation of any applicable federal or state securities laws, or other law or regulation, and (b) the Warrant Shares have not been and will not be registered as of the date of exercise of this warrant under the Securities Act or the securities laws of any state. The Holder acknowledges that this warrant and the Warrant Shares, when and if issued, are and will be “restricted securities” as defined in Rule 144 promulgated under the Securities Act and must be held indefinitely unless subsequently registered under the Securities Act and any other applicable state registration requirements. Except as provided herein, the Company is under no obligation to register the securities under the Securities Act or under applicable state statutes. In the absence of such a registration or an available exemption from registration, sale of the Warrant Shares may be practically impossible. The Holder shall confirm to the Company the representations set forth above in connection with the exercise of all or any portion of this warrant. 

 

3.       The number of Warrant Shares purchasable upon the exercise of this warrant and the Warrant Price per share shall be subject to adjustment from time to time as follows: 

 

(a)      In the event that the Company should at any time, or from time to time, fix a record date for the effectuation of a split, either forward or reverse, subdivision or combination of the outstanding shares of Common Stock, or the determination of holders of Common Stock entitled to receive a dividend or other distribution payable in additional shares of Common Stock or other securities or rights convertible into, or entitling the holder thereof to receive directly or indirectly, additional shares of Common Stock (hereinafter referred to as “Common Stock Equivalents”), without payment of any consideration by such holder for the additional shares of Common Stock or the Common Stock Equivalents (including the additional shares of Common Stock issuable upon conversion or exercise thereof), then, as of such record date (or the date of such dividend distribution, split or subdivision if no record date is fixed), the number of Warrant Shares purchasable hereunder shall be appropriately increased or decreased in proportion to such increase or decrease in the aggregate number of shares of Common Stock outstanding and those issuable with respect to such Common Stock Equivalents.

 

3

 

 

(b)     Whenever there is an adjustment in the number of Warrant Shares purchasable upon the exercise of this warrant pursuant to the provisions of Section 3(a), the Warrant Price shall be adjusted to an amount proportionate to the adjustment in the number of Warrant Shares.

 

(c)     If at any time, or from time to time, there shall be a recapitalization of the Common Stock (other than a subdivision or combination, or merger or sale of assets transaction provided for elsewhere in this Section 3) provision shall be made so that the Holder shall thereafter be entitled to receive upon exercise of this warrant the number of shares of Common Stock, Common Stock Equivalents or property of the Company or otherwise, to which the Holder would have been entitled upon such recapitalization assuming this warrant was exercised immediately prior thereto. In any such case, appropriate adjustment shall be made in the application of the provisions of this Section 3 with respect to the rights of the Holder of this warrant after the recapitalization to the end that the provisions of this Section 3 (including adjustment of the Warrant Price then in effect and the number of Warrant Shares issuable upon exercise) shall be applicable after that event as nearly equivalent as may be practicable.

 

(d)     If at any time, or from time to time, the Company shall consolidate with or merge into another corporation, or shall sell, lease, or convey to another corporation the assets of the Company as an entity or substantially as an entity (any one or more of such transactions being a “Corporate Transaction”), provision shall be made so that the Holder shall thereafter be entitled to receive upon exercise of this warrant the number of shares of Common Stock, Common Stock Equivalents or property of the Company or otherwise, to which the Holder would have been entitled to receive in such Corporate Transaction assuming this warrant was exercised immediately prior thereto. In any such case, appropriate adjustment shall be made in the application of the provisions of this Section 3 with respect to the rights of the Holder of this warrant after the Corporate Transaction to the end that the provisions of this Section 3 (including adjustment of the Warrant Price then in effect and the number of Warrant Shares issuable upon exercise) shall be applicable after that event as nearly equivalent as may be practicable.

 

(e)     Upon each adjustment of the Warrant Price or the number of Warrant Shares issuable upon exercise of this warrant (including pursuant to clause (f) below), the Company at its expense shall promptly compute such adjustment, and furnish the Holder with a certificate of its Chief Financial Officer setting forth such adjustment and the facts upon which such adjustment is based. The Company shall, upon written request of the Holder at any time, furnish the Holder with a certificate setting forth the Warrant Price and/or the number of Warrant Shares issuable upon exercise of this warrant, as applicable, in each such case upon the date thereof and the series of adjustments leading to such Warrant Price and/or number of Warrant Shares issuable upon exercise of this warrant, as applicable. 

 

(f)     Without duplication of the adjustments set forth in Sections 3(a) through 3(e), upon any adjustment of the Company’s Series A warrants (or any warrants issued in replacement or substitution thereof), resulting in (i) a reduction to the exercise price of any Series A warrants, a corresponding reduction, on a dollar-for-dollar basis, will be made to the Warrant Price hereunder, and (ii) an increase in the number of shares issuable upon exercise of the Series A warrants, a corresponding and proportionate increase will be made to the number of Warrant Shares issuable upon exercise of this warrant, provided, that if such increase would result in the Holder having beneficial ownership of 5% or more of the Common Stock (as calculated for purposes of determining compliance with Section 13G or Section 13D under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended), the Company will first notify the Holder in writing of such proposed adjustment, and such increase will only be effected if the Holder elects in writing for the number of warrants to be so increased, it being understood and agreed that the Holder may, if it so desires, elect for the number of warrants to be increased by a lesser amount than the increase that otherwise would apply as described above.

 

4

 

 

4.     The Company covenants and agrees that all Warrant Shares which may be delivered upon the exercise of this warrant will, upon delivery, be free from all taxes, liens, and charges with respect to the purchase thereof; provided, that the Company shall have no obligation with respect to any income tax liability of the Holder.

 

5.     The Company agrees at all times to reserve or hold available a sufficient number of shares of Common Stock or, if applicable, other Warrant Shares, to cover the number of Warrant Shares issuable upon the exercise of this warrant.

 

6.     This warrant shall not entitle the holder hereof to any voting rights or other rights as a shareholder of the Company, or to any other rights whatsoever, except the rights herein expressed, and no dividends shall be payable or accrue in respect of this warrant or the Warrant Shares until or unless, and except to the extent that, this warrant shall be exercised.

 

7.      Compliance with the Securities Act.

 

(a)    Agreement to Comply with the Securities Act; Legend. The Holder, by acceptance of this warrant, agrees to comply in all respects with the provisions of this Section 7 and the restrictive legend requirements set forth on the face of this warrant and further agrees that such Holder shall not offer, sell or otherwise dispose of this warrant or any Warrant Shares to be issued upon exercise hereof except under circumstances that will not result in a violation of the Securities Act. Any certificates evidencing this warrant and all Warrant Shares issued upon exercise of this warrant (unless registered under the Securities Act) shall be stamped or imprinted with a legend in substantially the following form:

 

"THIS WARRANT AND THE SECURITIES ISSUABLE UPON EXERCISE OF THIS WARRANT HAVE NOT BEEN REGISTERED UNDER THE SECURITIES ACT OF 1933, AS AMENDED (THE "ACT"), OR QUALIFIED UNDER ANY STATE OR FOREIGN SECURITIES LAWS AND MAY NOT BE OFFERED FOR SALE, SOLD, PLEDGED, HYPOTHECATED OR OTHERWISE TRANSFERRED OR ASSIGNED UNLESS (I) A REGISTRATION STATEMENT COVERING SUCH SHARES IS EFFECTIVE UNDER THE ACT AND IS QUALIFIED UNDER APPLICABLE STATE AND FOREIGN LAW OR (II) THE TRANSACTION IS EXEMPT FROM THE REGISTRATION AND PROSPECTUS DELIVERY REQUIREMENTS UNDER THE ACT AND THE QUALIFICATION REQUIREMENTS UNDER APPLICABLE STATE AND FOREIGN LAW."

 

(b)      Representations of the Holder. In connection with the issuance of this warrant, the Holder specifically represents, as of the date hereof, to the Company by acceptance of this warrant as follows:

 

(i)     The Holder is an "accredited investor" as defined in Rule 501(a) of Regulation D promulgated under the Securities Act. The Holder is acquiring this warrant and the Warrant Shares to be issued upon exercise hereof for investment for its own account and not with a view towards, or for resale in connection with, the public sale or distribution of this warrant or the Warrant Shares, except pursuant to sales registered or exempted under the Securities Act. 

 

5

 

 

(ii)     The Holder understands and acknowledges that this warrant and the Warrant Shares to be issued upon exercise hereof are "restricted securities" under the federal securities laws inasmuch as they are being acquired from the Company in a transaction not involving a public offering and that, under such laws and applicable regulations, such securities may be resold without registration under the Securities Act only in certain limited circumstances. In addition, the Holder represents that it is familiar with Rule 144 under the Securities Act, as presently in effect, and understands the resale limitations imposed thereby and by the Securities Act.

 

(iii)     The Holder acknowledges that it can bear the economic and financial risk of its investment for an indefinite period, and has such knowledge and experience in financial or business matters that it is capable of evaluating the merits and risks of the investment in the warrant and the Warrant Shares. The Holder has had an opportunity to ask questions and receive answers from the Company regarding the terms and conditions of the offering of the warrant and the business, properties, prospects and financial condition of the Company.

 

8.        Representations of the Company. In connection with the issuance of this warrant, the Company specifically represents, as of the date hereof, to the Holder as follows:

 

(a)     All Warrant Shares which may be issued upon the exercise of this warrant have been duly authorized and shall, upon issuance, be validly issued, fully paid and nonassessable; and will be issued in compliance with all applicable federal and state securities laws. The issuance of certificates for Warrant Shares upon exercise of this warrant shall be made without charge to the Holder for any issuance tax in respect thereof, or other cost incurred by the Company in connection with such exercise, conversion and related issuance of such shares; provided, that the Company shall not be required to pay any tax which may be payable in respect of any transfer and the issuance and delivery of any certificate in a name other than that of the Holder.

 

(b)     The Company's summary capitalization table attached hereto is true and complete as of the date hereof (except that such capitalization table does not yet reflect the issuance of this warrant). Except as set forth on such capitalization table, as of such date, the Company does not have outstanding any capital stock or rights or securities exercisable for or convertible into any capital stock of the Company.

 

(c)     The Company is a corporation duly organized, validly existing, and in good standing under the laws of the State of Nevada and has all requisite corporate power and authority to carry on its business as now conducted. The Company is duly qualified to transact business and is in good standing in each jurisdiction in which the failure to so qualify would have a material adverse effect on its business or properties.

 

(d)     All corporate action has been taken on the part of the Company, its officers, directors, and stockholders necessary for the authorization, execution and delivery of this warrant. The Company has taken all corporate action required to make all the obligations of the Company reflected in the provisions of this warrant the valid and enforceable obligations they purport to be, and this warrant constitutes a legal, valid and binding agreement of the Company, enforceable in accordance with its terms. The issuance of this warrant and, upon exercise of this warrant, the Warrant Shares, are not and will not be subject to preemptive rights of any stockholders of the Company. The Company has authorized and reserved for issuance sufficient Warrant Shares to allow for the full exercise of the warrant hereunder.

 

6

 

 

(e)     The authorization, execution and delivery of the warrant will not constitute or result in a default or violation of any law or regulation applicable to the Company or any term or provision of the Company’s current Certificate of Incorporation or bylaws, or any material agreement or instrument by which it is bound or to which its properties or assets are subject. No consent or approval of, giving of notice to, registration with, or taking of any other action in respect of any state, federal or other governmental authority or agency is required with respect to the execution, delivery and performance by the Company of its obligations under this warrant (including the issuance of Warrant Shares upon the exercise of this warrant).

 

9.       No fractional Warrant Shares shall be issuable upon exercise of this warrant, and the number of Warrant Shares to be issued shall be rounded down to the nearest whole Warrant Share. If a fractional share interest arises upon any exercise or conversion of this warrant, the Company shall eliminate such fractional share interest by paying the Holder an amount in cash computed by multiplying the fractional interest by the Fair Market Value of a full Warrant Share. 

 

10.     The Holder may transfer all or part of this warrant by giving the Company notice of the portion of this warrant being transferred and setting forth the name, address and taxpayer identification number of the transferee and surrendering this warrant to the Company for reissuance to the transferee(s) (and Holder, if applicable). The Holder may freely transfer all or part of the Warrant Shares issued upon exercise of this warrant, subject to any applicable restrictions under the Securities Act or the securities laws of any state. The Company may not transfer all or any portion of this Warrant or of the Company’s rights or obligations hereunder.

 

11.     All notices and other communications from the Company to the Holder, or vice versa, shall be deemed delivered and effective when given personally, or three business days after being mailed by first-class registered or certified mail, postage prepaid, or the next business day after being sent via reputable national overnight delivery service with signature acknowledgement of receipt, or the same day if being sent via facsimile with confirmation of delivery, at such address or fax number as may have been furnished to the Company or the Holder, as the case may be, in writing by the Company or such Holder from time to time.

17.     This Agreement shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the internal laws of the State of Delaware, without regard to the principles of conflicts of law thereof.

______________________________________________________________________________

 

If acquired without registration under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (“Securities Act”), the Holder represents that the Common Stock is being acquired without a view to, or for, resale in connection with any distribution thereof without registration or other compliance under the Securities Act and applicable state statutes, and that the Holder has no direct or indirect participation in any such undertaking or in the underwriting of such an undertaking. The Holder understands that the Common Stock has not been registered, but is being acquired by reason of a specific exemption under the Securities Act as well as under certain state statutes for transactions by an issuer not involving any public offering and that any disposition of the Common Stock may, under certain circumstances, be inconsistent with these exemptions. The Holder acknowledges that the Common Stock must be held and may not be sold, transferred, or otherwise disposed of for value unless subsequently registered under the Securities Act or an exemption from such registration is available. The Company is under no obligation to register the Common Stock under the Securities Act or any state securities law, except as provided in the Agreement for the warrant. The certificates representing the Common Stock will bear a legend restricting transfer, except in compliance with applicable federal and state securities statutes.

THIRD AMENDMENT TO PROMISSORY NOTE

 

This THIRD AMENDMENT TO PROMISSORY NOTES (the “Amendment”) is entered into as of August 3, 2017 by and between SANUWAVE, INC., a Delaware corporation (the “Borrower”), SANUWAVE HEALTH, INC., a Nevada corporation (the “Parent”), and HEALTHTRONICS, INC., a Georgia corporation (“HealthTronics”). 

 

W I T N E S S E T H:

 

WHEREAS, the Borrower and HealthTronics entered into that certain Promissory Note due August 1, 2015 dated August 1, 2005 in the original principal amount of $2,000,000 and that certain Promissory Note due August 1, 2015 dated August 1, 2005 in the original principal amount of $2,000,000 (as may have been amended from time to time, collectively, the “Promissory Notes”), pursuant to which HealthTronics extended loans to the Borrower;

 

WHEREAS, the Borrower and HealthTronics entered into (i) that certain Amendment to Promissory Notes, dated June 15, 2015, pursuant to which HealthTronics, among other things, extended the maturity date for the Promissory Notes to January 31, 2017 (“Amendment to Promissory Notes”), and (ii) that certain Second Amendment Promissory Notes, dated June 28, 2016, pursuant to which HealthTronics, among other things, extended the maturity date for the Promissory Notes to January 31, 2018;

 

WHEREAS, as a condition to entering into the Amendment to Promissory Notes, the Borrower entered into the Security Agreement, dated June 15, 2015 (the “Security Agreement”), by Borrower and each of its domestic subsidiaries in favor of HealthTronics to secure the payment in full of all obligations under the Promissory Notes;

 

WHEREAS, the Borrower and HealthTronics desire to further amend the Promissory Notes (capitalized terms, as used herein, shall have the meaning set forth in the Promissory Notes, unless the context otherwise requires); 

 

WHEREAS, Events of Default have occurred and are continuing on account of the Borrower’s failure to make the required payments of interest which were due on December 31, 2016, March 31, 2017 and June 30, 2017 (collectively, the “Existing Defaults”);

 

WHEREAS, the Borrower acknowledges the Existing Defaults and that, as a result of the Existing Defaults, the Promissory Notes have been accruing interest at the rate of 10.00% per annum since January 1, 2017 and continue to accrue interest at such rate; 

 

WHEREAS, the aggregate outstanding principal amount under the Promissory Notes as of the date hereof is $5,372,743; and 

 

WHEREAS, the Borrower has requested that HealthTronics amend certain provisions of the Promissory Notes and HealthTronics has agreed to the amendments set forth in this Amendment, all on the terms and subject to the conditions set forth herein.

 

1

 

 

For the purpose of conforming the same to the intention of the parties and for other value received, it is hereby agreed that each of the Promissory Notes shall be amended and modified in the following particulars:

 

Section 1. Amendments to the Promissory Notes. Effective upon satisfaction of the conditions set forth in Section 3 hereof, each Promissory Note is hereby amended as follows:

 

A.     The definition of Stated Maturity Date of “January 31, 2018” in the first paragraph of the Promissory Notes shall be deleted and replaced with “December 31, 2018.”

 

B.     Section 3.1 shall be deleted in its entirety and the following substituted in lieu thereof:

 

3.1     Payments. 

 

(a)     Mandatory Payment on the Stated Maturity Date. The outstanding Principal Amount of this Note together with all accrued and unpaid interest thereon and all other amounts due to HealthTronics under this Note will be payable on the Stated Maturity Date in cash. 

 

(b)     Mandatory Principal Prepayments. The Borrower shall make a mandatory prepayment of the Principal Amount of this Note in (i) an amount equal to twenty percent (20%) of the proceeds received by the Borrower, the Borrower’s parent company, SANUWAVE Health, Inc., a Nevada corporation (the “Parent”), or any subsidiary of the Borrower or the Parent pursuant to the licensing by Borrower of any of Borrower’s products or patents or other intellectual property rights, and (ii) without limiting the restrictions contained in Section 7.12, an amount equal to one hundred percent (100%) of the proceeds received by the Parent, the Borrower or any subsidiary of the Parent or the Borrower from (a) borrowings through secured or unsecured debt (other than debt expressly permitted by Section 7.12(iii)), (b) a sale of all or a material portion of the assets of the Parent, the Borrower or any of their respective subsidiaries and (c) any sale of assets (including any patents or other intellectual property rights) of the Parent, the Borrower or any of their respective subsidiaries (other than sales of inventory in the ordinary course of business) for which the proceeds from such sales exceed $20,000 individually or $50,000 in the aggregate. Such mandatory prepayments shall be made within one (1) business day after the receipt of such proceeds. 

 

(c)     Mandatory Prepayments Upon Equity Issuance. In the event of a transaction or series of related transactions consummated by the Borrower, the Parent or any subsidiary of the Borrower or the Parent principally for bona fide equity financing purposes in which the Borrower, the Parent or any subsidiary of the Borrower or the Parent receives at least $5 million in gross cash proceeds in the aggregate from such transaction(s) (an “Equity Issuance”), (i) the Borrower or the Parent shall make a mandatory prepayment of the Principal Amount of this Note together with all accrued and unpaid interest thereon and all other amounts due to HealthTronics under this Note in an amount equal to one hundred percent (100%) of the net proceeds received by the Borrower, the Parent, or any subsidiary of the Borrower or the Parent pursuant to such Equity Issuance (and such mandatory prepayments shall be made within one (1) business day after the receipt of such proceeds) and (ii) at the time of the first Equity Issuance (but for no subsequent equity issuance), Parent shall execute and deliver to HealthTronics an additional Class K Warrant Agreement (the “Warrant”) evidencing fully vested warrants for the purchase of the number of shares of common stock of Parent, at an initial purchase price equal to the Fair Market Value (as defined in the Class K Warrant Agreement) at the time of such first Equity Issuance, needed to cause HealthTronics to beneficially own pursuant to (x) such Warrant and (y) any other warrants or equity of Parent owned by HealthTronics, an aggregate of 4.99% of the common stock of Parent outstanding immediately after giving effect to the full Equity Issuance and to the issuance of shares of common stock issuable upon full exercise of all of the Warrant and all of any other warrants of Parent owned by HealthTronics; provided that in no event shall the Warrant be for the purchase of less than one million (1,000,000) shares or more than two million (2,000,000) shares (in each case, as equitably adjusted for any stock splits, subdivisions, combinations or similar events) of common stock of the Parent. Except as provided in the previous sentence, the Warrant shall otherwise be substantially identical to the Class K Warrant issued to HealthTronics on the date hereof (except that the Expiration Date shall be ten years after the date of the Warrant, and the capitalization table will be appropriately updated). Beneficial ownership for purposes of this section shall be calculated in accordance with Section 13(d) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”), and the rules and regulations promulgated thereunder, it being acknowledged by HealthTronics that neither the Borrower nor the Parent is representing to HealthTronics that such calculation is in compliance with Section 13(d) of the Exchange Act and HealthTronics is solely responsible for any schedules required to be filed in accordance therewith. Subject to the foregoing, Parent will promptly notify HealthTronics in writing if Parent undertakes any action (including any purchase, redemption, share cancelation or other action), or becomes aware of any action, that would result in HealthTronics being the beneficial owner of 5.00% or more of the common stock of Parent (as calculated in accordance with Section 13(d) of the Exchange Act).

Section 3.     Conditions to Effectiveness. The amendments to the Promissory Notes set forth in Section 1 hereof shall become effective as of the date (the “Effective Date”) when each of the following conditions has been satisfied:

 

(a)     The representations and warranties of the Parent, the Borrower and each of its subsidiaries set forth in the Promissory Notes, this Amendment and in all agreements, documents and instruments executed and delivered pursuant to the Promissory Notes or this Amendment shall be true and correct in all material respects when made and as of the date of this Amendment. 

 

(b)     After giving effect to the terms of this Amendment, there shall be no Event of Default or event which, with notice or passage of time or both, would constitute an Event of Default under the Promissory Notes.

(d)     The Borrower shall have paid the fees and expenses of Schiff Hardin LLP, special counsel to HealthTronics, in connection with this Amendment, the Class K Warrant Agreement and the Promissory Notes, which shall not exceed $15,000.

A.     From and after the date hereof, the Promissory Notes shall be deemed to mean the Promissory Notes, as amended hereby.

 

B.     This Amendment represents a modification only and is not, and should not be construed as, a novation of the Promissory Notes.

C.     The Parent and the Borrower each acknowledges and agrees that the agreement of HealthTronics to amend the terms of the Promissory Notes pursuant to and as reflected in this Amendment does not and shall not create (nor shall the Parent or the Borrower rely upon the existence of or claim or assert that there exists) any obligation of HealthTronics to consider or agree to any further amendments and, in the event that HealthTronics subsequently agrees to consider any further amendment, neither the existence of this Amendment, nor any other conduct of HealthTronics, shall be of any force or effect on consideration or decision with respect to any such requested amendment, and HealthTronics shall have no obligation whatsoever to consider or agree to amend the Promissory Notes or forbear or waive any other default or Event of Default. 

 

D.     The Borrower further ratifies and confirms the grants of all liens and security interests under the Security Agreement to secure the obligations under the Promissory Notes, as amended by this Amendment.

 

Section 5.     Release. Each of the Parent and the Borrower, for itself and on behalf of its heirs, legal representatives, affiliates, successors and assigns, hereby: (a) expressly waives, releases and relinquishes any and all defenses, affirmative defenses, setoffs, claims, counterclaims and causes of action of any kind or nature whatsoever which the Borrower has asserted, or might assert, against HealthTronics or any of its affiliates or any shareholders, members, partners, employees, directors, officers, representatives or agents of HealthTronics or any of its affiliates (collectively, the “Released Parties”) with respect to the Promissory Notes or the indebtedness evidenced thereby, or with respect to any other documents or instruments now or heretofore evidencing, securing or in any way relating to the Promissory Notes or the indebtedness evidenced thereby, including without limitation the Purchase Agreement, or with respect to any other matter, cause or thing relating in any way to the Promissory Notes or the Purchase Agreement; (b) expressly remises, releases, acquits, satisfies and forever discharges each Released Party from any and all manner of debts, accountings, bonds, warranties, representatives, covenants, promises, contracts, controversies, agreements, liabilities, obligations, expenses, damages, judgments, executions, actions, claims, demands and causes of action of any nature whatsoever, whether at law or in equity, either now accrued or hereafter maturing, which the Borrower now has or hereafter can, shall or may have by reason of any matter, cause or thing, from the beginning of the world to and including the date hereof relating in any way to the Promissory Notes, including specifically, but without limitation, matters arising out of or relating to: (i) the Promissory Notes or the indebtedness evidenced thereby, including but not limited to, the administration thereof; (ii) the exercise or attempted exercise by any Released Party of any of its rights and remedies against the Borrower or the assets thereof on account of any Event of Default or otherwise; (iii) any other agreement or transaction between the Borrower and any Released Party relating in any way to the Promissory Notes and (iv) any Event of Default; and (c) expressly covenants and agrees never to institute or cause to be instituted or continue prosecution of any suit or other form of action or proceeding of any kind or nature whatsoever against any Released Party by reason of or in connection with any of the foregoing matters, claims or causes of action.

The Borrower acknowledges and agrees that it owes the amounts referred to above without defense, right of offset, set off, or counterclaims. 

 

Section 7.     No Waiver; Reservation of Rights. HealthTronics has not waived, is not by this Amendment waiving, and has no present intention of waiving, the Existing Defaults or any other Events of Default which may be continuing on the date hereof or any Events of Default which may occur after the date hereof (whether the same or similar to the Existing Defaults or otherwise), and nothing contained herein shall be deemed or constitute any such waiver. HealthTronics reserves the right, in its sole discretion, to exercise any or all rights or remedies under the Promissory Notes, the Security Agreement and any other documents related thereto, applicable law and otherwise as a result of the Existing Defaults or any other Events of Default that may be continuing on the date hereof or any Events of Default that may occur after the date hereof, and HealthTronics has not waived any of such rights or remedies and nothing in this Amendment, and no delay on HealthTronics’ part in exercising such rights or remedies, should be construed as a waiver of any such rights or remedies. 

 

Section 8.     Joinder by the Parent. The Parent hereby joins each Promissory Note and agrees to comply with the provisions thereof as if the Parent were an original signatory thereto. 

 

Section 9.     Miscellaneous.
