This proxy statement also gives you information on the proposals so that you can make an informed decision. You should read it carefully. Your vote is important. You are encouraged to submit your proxy card as soon as possible after carefully reviewing this proxy statement.

 

In this proxy statement, we refer to Bat Group, Inc. as the “Company”, “we”, “us” or “our.”

Information about the stockholdings of our directors, executive officers and significant stockholders is contained in the section of this proxy statement entitled “Security Ownership of Certain Beneficial Owners and Management” beginning on page 16 of this proxy statement.

 

What is the proxy card?

 

The card enables you to appoint Renmei Ouyang and Yang An as your representatives at this Meeting.

 C: 1

 

 

What is the difference between holding shares as a stockholder of record and as a beneficial owner?

 

Certain of our stockholders hold their shares in an account at a brokerage firm, bank or other nominee holder, rather than holding share certificates in their own name. As summarized below, there are some distinctions between shares held of record and those owned beneficially.

 

Stockholder of Record/Registered Stockholders

 

If, on the Record Date, your shares were registered directly in your name with our transfer agent, VStock Transfer, LLC, you are a “stockholder of record” who may vote at the Meeting, and we are sending these proxy materials directly to you. As the stockholder of record, you have the right to direct the voting of your shares by returning the enclosed proxy card to us or to vote in person at the Meeting. Whether or not you plan to attend the Meeting, please complete, date and sign the enclosed proxy card to ensure that your vote is counted. 

 

Beneficial Owner

 

If, on the Record Date, your shares were held in an account at a brokerage firm or at a bank or other nominee holder, you are considered the beneficial owner of shares held “in street name,” and these proxy materials are being forwarded to you by your broker or nominee who is considered the stockholder of record for purposes of voting at the Meeting. As the beneficial owner, you have the right to direct your broker on how to vote your shares and to attend the Meeting. However, since you are not the stockholder of record, you may not vote these shares in person at the Meeting unless you receive a valid proxy from your brokerage firm, bank or other nominee holder. To obtain a valid proxy, you must make a special request of your brokerage firm, bank or other nominee holder. If you do not make this request, you can still vote by using the voting instruction card enclosed with this proxy statement; however, you will not be able to vote in person at the Meeting.

 

How do I vote?

 

If you were a stockholder of record of the Company’s Common Stock on the Record Date, you may vote in person at the Meeting or by submitting a proxy. Each share of Common Stock that you own in your name entitles you to one vote, in each case, on the applicable proposals.

 

(1) You may submit your proxy by mail. You may submit your proxy by mail by completing, signing and dating your proxy card and returning it in the enclosed, postage-paid and addressed envelope. If we receive your proxy card prior to this Meeting and if you mark your voting instructions on the proxy card, your shares will be voted:

 

  as you instruct, and
     
  according to the best judgment of the proxies if a proposal comes up for a vote at this Meeting that is not on the proxy card.

 

We encourage you to examine your proxy card closely to make sure you are voting all of your shares in the Company.

 

If you return a signed card, but do not provide voting instructions, your shares will be voted:

 

  FOR each nominee for director;
     
  FOR the selection of Friedman as our independent registered public accounting firm for year ending December 31, 2020;
     
  To approve the issuance of 15,000,000 shares of Common Stock in connection with the private placement of shares of Common Stock to certain non-U.S. investors pursuant to the SPAs
     
  To approve the issuance of shares of Common Stock issuable upon the conversion of certain convertible note and exercise of certain warrants pursuant to the Note Offering SPA; and
     
  According to the best judgment of Ms. Ouyang and Ms. An if a proposal comes up for a vote at the Meeting that is not on the proxy card.

 

(2) You may vote in person at the Meeting.  We will pass out written ballots to any stockholder of record who wants to vote at the Meeting.

 

If I plan on attending the Meeting, should I return my proxy card?

 

Yes. Whether or not you plan to attend the Meeting, after carefully reading and considering the information contained in this proxy statement, please complete and sign your proxy card. Then return the proxy card in the pre-addressed, postage-paid envelope provided herewith as soon as possible so your shares may be represented at the Meeting.

 

 C:

May I change my mind after I return my proxy?

  signing another proxy card with a later date and returning it to the Secretary before the polls close at this Meeting; or
     
  attending this Meeting and voting in person.

 

What does it mean if I receive more than one proxy card?

 

You may have multiple accounts at the transfer agent and/or with brokerage firms. Please sign and return all proxy cards to ensure that all of your shares are voted.

 

What happens if I do not indicate how to vote my proxy?

 

Signed and dated proxies received by the Company without an indication of how the stockholder desires to vote on a proposal will be voted in favor of each director and proposal presented to the stockholders.

 

Will my shares be voted if I do not sign and return my proxy card?

 

If you do not sign and return your proxy card, your shares will not be voted unless you vote in person at this Meeting. 

 

What vote is required to elect the Director Nominees as directors of the Company?

 

The election of each nominee for director requires the affirmative vote of a plurality of the shares of Common Stock represented in person or by proxy and entitled to vote in the election of directors at the Meeting.

 

How many votes are required to ratify Friedman as the Company’s independent registered public accounting firm for year ending December 31, 2020?

PROPOSAL NO. 3 — APPROVAL, for purposes of complying with applicable NASDAQ Listing Rules, OF THE issuance of 15,000,000 shares of common stock in connection with the private placement of shares of common stock to certain non-U.S. investors pursuant to certain Securities Purchase Agreements dated January [  ], 2020

 

Background and Description of the Private Placement

 

You are being asked to consider and vote upon proposal No. 3 that provides for the issuance of a number of shares of our Common Stock in excess of 19.99% of our outstanding shares of Common Stock in connection with the private placement of shares of common stock to certain non-U.S. investors.

 

On January 22, 2020, we entered into certain Securities Purchase Agreements (the “SPAs”) with certain “non-U.S. Persons” as defined in Regulation S of the Securities Act pursuant to which we agreed to sell 15,000,000 shares of our Common Stock, par value $0.0001 per share. This is part of the Private Placement of the Company’s ordinary shares at a per share purchase price of $0.90 up to an aggregate gross proceeds of thirteen million five hundred thousand dollars ($13,500,000) to “non-U.S. Persons” as defined in Regulation S.  Our Board determined that the Private Placement was advisable and in our best interest and in the best interest of our stockholders, in order for us to have available capital for general corporate purposes. The parties to the SPAs have each made customary representations, warranties and covenants. The closing of the SPA was subject to certain customary conditions. No shares have been issued.

 

NASDAQ Listing Rule 5635(d) requires stockholder approval prior to the issuance of securities in connection with a transaction (or a series of related transactions) other than a public offering involving the sale, issuance or potential issuance of ordinary shares (or securities convertible into or exercisable for ordinary shares) at a price less than the greater of book or market value which equals 20% or more of the ordinary shares or 20% or more of the voting power outstanding before the issuance (the “20% Threshold”). Since the issuance pursuant to the SPA will exceed the 20% Threshold, such issuance requires stockholders approval.

 

The foregoing descriptions of the SPAs do not purport to be complete and are qualified in their entirety by reference to the full text of the transaction documents, copies of which are attached to this Proxy Statement as Annex A.

 

Vote Required

 

Proposal No. 3 will be approved if a majority of the total votes properly cast in person or by proxy at the Meeting by the holders of Common Stock vote “FOR” the proposal. Abstentions and broker non-votes will have no effect on the result of the vote.

  

Recommendation of the Board

PROPOSAL NO. 4 — APPROVAL, for purposes of complying with applicable NASDAQ Listing Rules, of the issuance of shares of common stock issuable upon the conversion of certain convertible note and exercise of certain warrants pursuant to certain Securities Purchase Agreement dated January [  ], 2020

 

Background and Description of Convertible Promissory Note and Warrants

 

You are being asked to consider and vote upon proposal No. 4 that provides for the issuance of a number of shares of our Common Stock in excess of 19.99% of our outstanding shares of Common Stock upon the conversion of certain convertible promissory note and exercise of certain warrants that we plan to issue in a private placement.

 

On January 22, 2020, the Company entered into certain securities purchase agreement (the “Note SPA”) with certain “non-U.S. Persons” (the “Holders”) as defined in Regulation S of the Securities Act pursuant to which the Company agreed to sell unsecured senior convertible promissory notes in the aggregate principal amount of $30,000,000 (the “Notes”) accompanied by warrants (the “Warrants”) to purchase 100% shares of Common Stock issuable upon conversion the Notes at an exercise price of $1.80.

 

The Notes have a maturity date of 12 months with an interest rate of 7.5% per annum. Holders have the right to convert all or any part of the Notes into shares of Common Stock at a conversion price of $1.50 per share 30 days after its date of issuance (the “Conversion Shares”). The Company retains the right to prepay the Note at any time prior to conversion with an amount in cash equal to 107.5% of the principal that the Company elects to prepay.

 

The Warrants will be exercisable immediately upon the date of issuance at the exercise price of $1.80 for cash (the “Warrant Shares”). The Warrants may also be exercised cashlessly if at any time after the six-month anniversary of the issuance date, there is no effective registration statement registering, or no current prospectus available for, the resale of the Warrant Shares, exercised, The Warrants will expire five years from its date of issuance. The Warrants are subject to anti-dilution provisions to reflect stock dividends and splits or other similar transactions. The Warrants contain a mandatory exercise right for the Company to force exercise of the Warrants if the Company’s common stock trades at or above $3.00 for 20 consecutive trading days, provided, among other things, that the shares issuable upon exercise of the are registered or may be sold pursuant to Rule 144 and the daily trading volume exceeds 300,000 shares of Common stock per trading day on each trading day in a period of 20 consecutive trading days prior to the applicable date.

 

The parties to the Note SPA have each made customary representations, warranties and covenants, including, among other things, (a) the Purchasers are “non-U.S. Persons” as defined in Regulation S and are acquiring the Shares for the purpose of investment, (b) the absence of any undisclosed material adverse effects, and (c) the Company’s ability to issue to securities in accordance with the terms of the Note SPA without conflicting with or breaching any incorporation documents, material agreements, laws, rules, or regulations.

 

The Note SPA is subject to various conditions to closing, including, among other things, (a) Nasdaq’s approval of the listing of the Conversion Shares and Warrant Shares (b) stockholders’ approval of the issuance of the Notes and the Warrants as required under Nasdaq Rule 5635(d), and (c) the accuracy of the Purchasers’ and the Company’s representations and warranties.

 

The foregoing descriptions of the Note Offering SPA, the Convertible Note and the Warrants do not purport to be complete and are qualified in their entirety by reference to the full text of the transaction documents, forms of which are attached to this Proxy Statement as Annex B, Annex C and Annex D, respectively.

 

Why We Need Stockholder Approval

 

Pursuant to Nasdaq Listing Rule 5635(b), stockholder approval is required prior to the issuance of securities that will result in a change of control of a listed company, which for purposes of Nasdaq Listing Rule 5635(b) is generally deemed to occur when an investor or investor group acquires or has the right to acquire 20% or more of a company’s outstanding Common Stock or voting power.

  

 C: 

21

 

 

Potential Effects of Approval of this Proposal

 

If this proposal is approved, the issuance of shares of our Common Stock upon conversion would dilute, and thereby reduce, each existing stockholder’s proportionate ownership in our Common Stock. The issuance of shares of our Common Stock that are the subject of this Proposal 4 will result in an increase in the number of shares of our Common Stock outstanding, and our stockholders will incur further dilution of their percentage ownership in us to the extent that the holders of our Convertible Note convert all or any part of their outstanding balance into shares of our Common Stock and the holders of the Warrants exercise their Warrants for shares of our Common Stock.

 

The stockholders do not have preemptive rights to subscribe to additional shares that may be issued by the Company in order to maintain their proportionate ownership of the Common Stock. Such issuances could also dilute the voting power of a person seeking control of the Company, thereby deterring or rendering more difficult a merger, tender offer, proxy contest or an extraordinary corporate transaction opposed by the Company.

 

Potential Effects of Non-Approval of this Proposal

 

If this proposal is not approved by the stockholders, the Convertible Note and the Warrants would not be issued. In such event, the Company may not have the resources to fund the planned commodity trading business and may materially impair the Company’s business plan.

 

Vote Required

 

Proposal No. 4 will be approved if a majority of the total votes properly cast in person or by proxy at the Meeting by the holders of Common Stock vote “FOR” the proposal. Abstentions and broker non-votes will have no effect on the result of the vote.

  

Recommendation of the Board

 

The Board unanimously recommends that you vote all of your shares “FOR” the ratification of the Reverse Split as described in this Proposal No. 4.

OTHER MATTERS

 

Our Board knows of no other matter to be presented at the Meeting. If any additional matter should properly come before the Meeting, it is the intention of the persons named in the enclosed proxy to vote such proxy in accordance with their judgment on any such matters.

Section 2.2 Representations and Warranties of the Purchaser. Each Purchaser, severally but not jointly, hereby makes the following representations and warranties to the Company as of the date hereof:

第2.2节 购买人的陈述和保证。各购买人,单独地而并非联合地,于此就以下事项作出仅与购买人自身相关的陈述和保证:

 

(a) No Conflicts. The execution, delivery and performance of this Agreement and the consummation by such Purchaser of the transactions contemplated hereby and thereby or relating hereto do not and will not conflict with, or constitute a default (or an event which with notice or lapse of time or both would become a default) under, or give to others any rights of termination, amendment, acceleration or cancellation of any agreement, indenture or instrument or obligation to which such Purchaser is a party or by which its properties or assets are bound, or result in a violation of any law, rule, or regulation, or any order, judgment or decree of any court or governmental agency applicable to such Purchaser or its properties (except for such conflicts, defaults and violations as would not, individually or in the aggregate, have a material adverse effect on such Purchaser). Such Purchaser is not required to obtain any consent, authorization or order of, or make any filing or registration with, any court or governmental agency in order for it to execute, deliver or perform any of its obligations under this Agreement, provided, that for purposes of the representation made in this sentence, such Purchaser is assuming and relying upon the accuracy of the relevant representations and agreements of the Company herein.

无冲突。购买人签署、送达和履行交易文件以及交易内容,没有也不会在购买人在一方当事人或财产受约束的任何协议或承诺中使购买人本身或其任何财产上创造或附加留置权、抵押权 、保证金权益、质押权、其他费用或财产负担,或者使购买人违反任何适用购买人或其财产的任何法律、规则、规定、命令或判决或判令,但不会对购买人产生重大负面影响,则不应包括在内。购买人购买普通股,签署、送达和履行本协议和其他交易文件不需要额外授权,但是在本句陈述的范围内,购买人依赖于公司相关陈述的准确性作出以上陈述。

Neither such inquiries nor any other due diligence investigation conducted by the Purchaser or any of its advisors or representatives shall modify, amend or affect the Purchaser’s right to rely on the representations and warranties of the Company contained herein. The Purchaser understands that its investment in the Shares involves a significant degree of risk. The Purchaser further represents to the Company that the Purchaser’s decision to enter into this Agreement has been based solely on the independent evaluation of the Purchaser and its representatives.

Section 6.2 Indemnification Procedure. Any party entitled to indemnification under this Article VI (an “Indemnified Party”) will give written notice to the indemnifying party of any matters giving rise to a claim for indemnification; provided, that the failure of any party entitled to indemnification hereunder to give notice as provided herein shall not relieve the indemnifying party of its obligations under this Article VI except to the extent that the indemnifying party is actually prejudiced by such failure to give notice. In case any action, proceeding or claim is brought against an Indemnified Party in respect of which indemnification is sought hereunder, the indemnifying party shall be entitled to participate in and, unless in the reasonable judgment of the Indemnified Party a conflict of interest between it and the indemnifying party may exist with respect of such action, proceeding or claim, to assume the defense thereof with counsel reasonably satisfactory to the Indemnified Party. In the event that the indemnifying party advises an Indemnified Party that it will contest such a claim for indemnification hereunder, or fails, within thirty (30) days of receipt of any indemnification notice to notify, in writing, such person of its election to defend, settle or compromise, at its sole cost and expense, any action, proceeding or claim (or discontinues its defense at any time after it commences such defense), then the Indemnified Party may, at its option, defend, settle or otherwise compromise or pay such action or claim. In any event, unless and until the indemnifying party elects in writing to assume and does so assume the defense of any such claim, proceeding or action, the Indemnified Party’s costs and expenses arising out of the defense, settlement or compromise of any such action, claim or proceeding shall be losses subject to indemnification hereunder. The Indemnified Party shall cooperate fully with the indemnifying party in connection with any negotiation or defense of any such action or claim by the indemnifying party and shall furnish to the indemnifying party all information reasonably available to the Indemnified Party which relates to such action or claim. The indemnifying party shall keep the Indemnified Party fully apprised at all times as to the status of the defense or any settlement negotiations with respect thereto. If the indemnifying party elects to defend any such action or claim, then the Indemnified Party shall be entitled to participate in such defense with counsel of its choice at its sole cost and expense. The indemnifying party shall not be liable for any settlement of any action, claim or proceeding effected without its prior written consent, provided, however, that the indemnifying party shall be liable for any settlement if the indemnifying party is advised of the settlement but fails to respond to the settlement within thirty (30) days of receipt of such notification. Notwithstanding anything in this Article VI to the contrary, the indemnifying party shall not, without the Indemnified Party’s prior written consent, settle or compromise any claim or consent to entry of any judgment in respect thereof which imposes any future obligation on the Indemnified Party or which does not include, as an unconditional term thereof, the giving by the claimant or the plaintiff to the Indemnified Party of a release from all liability in respect of such claim. The indemnification required by this Article VI shall be made by periodic payments of the amount thereof during the course of investigation or defense, as and when bills are received or expense, loss, damage or liability is incurred, so long as the Indemnified Party irrevocably agrees to refund such moneys if it is ultimately determined by a court of competent jurisdiction that such party was not entitled to indemnification. The indemnity agreements contained herein shall be in addition to (a) any cause of action or similar rights of the Indemnified Party against the indemnifying party or others, and (b) any liabilities the indemnifying party may be subject to pursuant to the law.

第6.2节 补偿程序。任何依据此第六条有权享有补偿的当事方(“受补偿方”)应就任何因此补偿而引出的诉讼请求向补偿方发出书面通知;前提是,若受补偿方未能发出此通知,补偿方仍需承担其在此第六条下的补偿责任,除非此不作为会对补偿方产生不公正结果。在就此补偿而向受补偿方提出的任何诉讼,诉讼程序或诉讼请求中,补偿方应有权参与其中并与法律顾问一起提出受补偿方合理的觉得满意的抗辩,除非依据受补偿方的合理的判断,存在利益冲突,并且补偿方很可能在此诉讼,诉讼程序或诉讼请求中胜出。若补偿方告知受补偿方其将应诉,或在收到任何关于补偿的通知后的三十(30)天内未能书面通知受补偿方其将选择自费应诉,调解或折中方式(或在应诉后的任何时候停止抗辩),则受补偿方可自由选择应诉,调解或其它折中方法,或支付此诉讼或诉讼请求的费用。在任何情况下,除非补偿方书面选择并确已开始抗辩,因此抗辩,调节或折中方式而产生的受补偿方的费用和花销应为可依此条款补偿的款项。受补偿方应就此诉讼或诉讼请求的协商或抗辩与补偿方全力合作,并向补偿方提供受补偿方 可合理获取的与此诉讼或诉讼请求相关的所有信息。补偿方应将抗辩或任何调解协商的进展情况及时通知受补偿方。若补偿方选择应诉此诉讼或诉讼请求,则受补偿方应有权自费与法律顾问参与到此抗辩中。补偿方不因任何未获其书面同意便生效的调解而承担责任,但是,若已将调解告知补偿方,但补偿方未能在收到此通知的三十(30)天内回应,则补偿方应对此调解承担责任。除非与此第六条规定相冲突,若未得到受补偿方的事先书面同意,补偿方不得同意调解或采用折中方式或同意任何要求受补偿方承担任何将来义务的判决或者不包含要求起诉方或原告免除所有受补偿方与此诉讼请求相关的所有责任这一无条件条款的判决。只要受补偿方同意(此同意为不可撤回)若适格法律管辖区的法院最终判定此当事方无权获得补偿,受补偿方将退还此所有补偿,则在调查或抗辩过程中收到的账单的款项,或在此期间产生的花销,损失,损害赔偿或责任的补偿应分期支付。此补偿协议是以下权利的补充(a)受补偿方针对补偿方所享有的任何诉因,及(b)任何补偿方可能依法承担的责任。

2.3 Purchase Entirely for Own Account. This Agreement is made with Purchaser in reliance upon Purchaser’s representation to Company, which by Purchaser’s execution of this Agreement, Purchaser hereby confirms. Securities to be acquired by Purchaser will be acquired for investment for Purchaser’s own account, not as a nominee or agent, and not with a view to the resale or distribution of any part thereof, and Purchaser has no present intention of selling, granting any participation in, or otherwise distributing the same. By executing this Agreement, Purchaser further represents that Purchaser does not presently have any contract, undertaking, agreement or arrangement with any individual, corporation, partnership, limited liability company, joint venture, trust or other entity (“Person”) to sell, transfer or grant participations to any Person, with respect to any of the Purchaser’s Securities.

 

2.4 Experience of Purchaser. Purchaser, either alone or together with its representatives, has such knowledge, sophistication, and experience in business and financial matters so as to be capable of evaluating the merits and risks of the prospective investment in Securities, and has so evaluated the merits and risks of such investment.

 

2.5 Ability to Bear Risk. Purchaser understands and agrees that the purchase of Securities is a high risk investment and that Purchaser is able to afford and bear an investment in a speculative venture having the risks and objectives of Company, including a risk of total loss of such investment. Purchaser must bear the substantial economic risks of the investment in Securities indefinitely because Securities may not be sold, hypothecated or otherwise disposed of unless subsequently registered under the Securities Act and applicable state securities laws or an exemption from such registration(s) is available.

 

2.6 Disclosure of Information. Purchaser has been given access to full and complete information regarding Company and has utilized such access to Purchaser’s satisfaction for the purpose of obtaining such information regarding Company as Purchaser has reasonably requested.

2.7 Restricted Securities. Purchaser understands that Securities have not been, and will not be, registered under the Securities Act, by reason of a specific exemption from the registration provisions of the Securities Act, which depends upon, among other things, the bona fide nature of the investment intent and the accuracy of Purchaser’s representations as expressed herein. Purchaser understands that Securities are “restricted securities” under applicable U.S. federal and state securities laws and that, pursuant to these laws, Purchaser must hold Securities indefinitely unless they are registered with the SEC and qualified by state authorities, or an exemption from such registration and qualification requirements is available. Except as otherwise provided herein, Purchaser acknowledges that Company has no obligation to register or qualify Securities. Purchaser further acknowledges that if an exemption from registration or qualification is available, it may be conditioned on various requirements including, but not limited to, the time and manner of sale, the holding period of Securities, or requirements relating to Company that are outside of Purchaser’s control, and which Company is under no obligation, and may not be able, to satisfy.

FORM OF UNSECURED CONVERTIBLE PROMISSORY NOTE

 

Issuance Date: January 22, 2020   Original Principal Amount: U.S. $[  ]

 

FOR VALUE RECEIVED, Bat Group, Inc., a Delaware corporation (“Borrower”), promises to pay to [ ], or its successors or assigns (“Holder”), the amount set forth above as the Original Principal Amount (as reduced pursuant to the terms hereof pursuant to conversion or otherwise) (the “Principal”) and any interest, fees, charges, and late fees accrued hereunder on the date that is twelve (12) months after the Issuance Date (the “Maturity Date”) in accordance with the terms set forth herein and to pay interest on the Outstanding Balance at the rate of seven and a half percent (7.5%) per annum from the Issuance Date until the same is paid in full. This Note is issued pursuant to that certain Securities Purchase Agreement dated January 22, 2020, as the same may be amended from time to time, by and among Borrower and the purchasers signatory thereto (the “Purchase Agreement”). Certain capitalized terms used herein are defined in Attachment 1 attached hereto and incorporated herein by this reference.

 

1. Payment; Prepayment.

 

1.1.Payment.

 

All payments owing hereunder shall be in lawful money of the United States of America or Conversion Shares (as defined below), as provided for herein, and delivered to Holder at the address or bank account furnished to Borrower for that purpose. All payments shall be applied first to (a) costs of collection, if any, then to (b) fees and charges, if any, then to (c) accrued and unpaid interest, and thereafter, to (d) principal.

 

1.2.Prepayment.

 

Notwithstanding the foregoing, so long as Borrower has not received a Holder Conversion Notice (as defined below) from Holder where the applicable Conversion Shares have not yet been delivered, then Borrower shall have the right to prepay all or any portion of the Outstanding Balance. If Borrower exercises its right to prepay this Note, Borrower shall make payment to Holder of an amount in cash equal to 107.5% multiplied by the portion of Outstanding Balance Borrower elects to prepay.

3. Holder Optional Conversion.

 

3.1. Holder Conversions.

 

Holder has the right at any time 30 days after the Issuance Date until the Outstanding Balance has been paid in full, at its election, to convert (“Holder Conversion”) all or any part of the Outstanding Balance into shares (each instance of conversion is referred herein as “Conversion Shares”) of fully paid and non-assessable common stock, $0.001 par value per share (“Common Stock”), of Borrower as per the following conversion formula: the number of Conversion Shares equals the amount being converted (the “Conversion Amount”) divided by the Holder Conversion Price (as defined below). Conversion notices in the form attached hereto as Exhibit A (each, a “Holder Conversion Notice”) may be effectively delivered to Borrower by any method of Holder’s choice (including but not limited to facsimile, email, mail, overnight courier, or personal delivery), and all Holder Conversions shall be cashless and not require further payment from Holder. Borrower shall deliver the Conversion Shares from any Holder Conversion to Holder in accordance with Section 9 below.

 

3.2. Holder Conversion Price.

 

Subject to adjustment as set forth in this Note, the price at which Holder has the right to convert all or any portion of the Outstanding Balance into Common Stock is $1.50 per share of Common Stock (the “Holder Conversion Price”).

  

3.3. Conversion Procedure.

 

In connection with any conversion pursuant to Section 3.1, as soon as reasonably practicable following the receipt of a Holder Conversion Notice, Holder shall surrender to the Company this Note (or a notice to the effect that the original Note has been lost, stolen or destroyed and an agreement acceptable to the Company whereby Holder agrees to indemnify the Company from any loss incurred by it in connection with such loss or destruction of this Note).

 

Promptly following such surrender of the Note to the Company, (A) the Company shall update its transfer agent to record the number of Conversion Shares to which Holder shall be entitled upon such conversion, issued as fully paid to Holder and deliver to Holder a certified true copy of such updated shareholder list, (B) the Company shall issue and deliver to Holder a certificate or certificates for the Conversion Shares, and a check payable to Holder for any cash amounts payable as described in Section 4(c)(iii).

 

No fractional shares or securities shall be issued upon conversion of this Note. In lieu of the Company issuing any fractional shares to Holder upon the conversion of this Note, the Company shall pay to Holder an amount equal to the product obtained by multiplying the applicable Conversion Price in such conversion, by the fraction of a share or such other security not issued pursuant to the previous sentence.

 

3.4. Reservation of Shares Issuable Upon Conversion

 

The Company shall at all times reserve and keep available out of its authorized but unissued Common Stock solely for the purpose of effecting the conversion of this Note such number of Common Stock as shall from time to time be sufficient to effect the conversion of the Note; and if at any time the number of authorized but unissued Common Stock shall not be sufficient to effect the conversion of the entire outstanding Principal Amount of this Note, without limitation of such other remedies as shall be available to the holder of this Note, Company will use its reasonable best efforts to take such corporate action as may, in the opinion of counsel, be necessary to increase its authorized but unissued Common Stock to such number of shares as shall be sufficient for such purposes.

4. Defaults, Remedies, and Adjustments.

 

4.1. Defaults.

 

The following are events of default under this Note (each, an “Event of Default”): (a) Borrower fails to pay any principal, interest, fees, charges, or any other amount when due and payable hereunder; (b) Borrower fails to deliver any Conversion Shares in accordance with the terms hereof; (c) a receiver, trustee or other similar official shall be appointed over Borrower or a material part of its assets and such appointment shall remain uncontested for twenty (20) days or shall not be dismissed or discharged within sixty (60) days; (d) Borrower becomes insolvent or generally fails to pay, or admits in writing its inability to pay, its debts as they become due, subject to applicable grace periods, if any; (e) Borrower makes a general assignment for the benefit of creditors; (f) Borrower files a petition for relief under any bankruptcy, insolvency or similar law (domestic or foreign); (g) an involuntary bankruptcy proceeding is commenced or filed against Borrower; (h) Borrower or any pledgor, trustor, or guarantor of this Note defaults or otherwise fails to observe or perform any covenant, obligation, condition or agreement of Borrower or such pledgor, trustor, or guarantor contained herein or in any other Transaction Document (as defined in the Purchase Agreement); (i) any representation, warranty or other statement made or furnished by or on behalf of Borrower or any pledgor, trustor, or guarantor of this Note to Holder herein, in any Transaction Document, or otherwise in connection with the issuance of this Note is false, incorrect, incomplete or misleading in any material respect when made or furnished; (j) Borrower fails to maintain the Share Reserve (as defined in the Purchase Agreement) as required under the Purchase Agreement; (k) any money judgment, writ or similar process is entered or filed against Borrower or any subsidiary of Borrower or any of its property or other assets for more than $500,000 , and shall remain unvacated, unbonded or unstayed for a period of twenty (20) calendar days unless otherwise consented to by Holder; (l) Borrower fails to maintain its DWAC Eligibility; (m) Borrower, any affiliate of Borrower, or any pledgor, trustor, or guarantor of this Note breaches any covenant or other term or condition contained in any Other Agreements; (n) the Common Stock fails to be listed or quoted for trading on any of (o) NYSE, (ii) NASDAQ, (iii) OTCQX, or (iv) OTCQB; or (p) trading in Company’s Common Stock is suspended.

 

4.2. Remedies.

 

At any time and from time to time after Holder becomes aware of the occurrence of any Event of Default, Holder may accelerate this Note by written notice to Borrower, with the Outstanding Balance becoming immediately due and payable in cash at the Mandatory Default Amount. Notwithstanding the foregoing, at any time following the occurrence of any Event of Default, Holder may, at its option, elect to increase the Outstanding Balance by applying the Default Effect (subject to the limitation set forth below) via written notice to Borrower without accelerating the Outstanding Balance, in which event the Outstanding Balance shall be increased as of the date of the occurrence of the applicable Event of Default pursuant to the Default Effect, but the Outstanding Balance shall not be immediately due and payable unless so declared by Holder (for the avoidance of doubt, if Holder elects to apply the Default Effect pursuant to this sentence, it shall reserve the right to declare the Outstanding Balance immediately due and payable at any time and no such election by Holder shall be deemed to be a waiver of its right to declare the Outstanding Balance immediately due and payable as set forth herein unless otherwise agreed to by Holder in writing). Notwithstanding the foregoing, upon the occurrence of any Event of Default described in clauses (d), (e), (f), (g) or (h) of Section 4.1, the Outstanding Balance as of the date of acceleration shall become immediately and automatically due and payable in cash at the Mandatory Default Amount, without any written notice required by Holder. At any time following the occurrence of any Event of Default, upon written notice given by Holder to Borrower, interest shall accrue on the Outstanding Balance beginning on the date the applicable Event of Default occurred at an interest rate equal to the lesser of 22 % per annum or the maximum rate permitted under applicable law (“Default Interest”). For the avoidance of doubt, Holder may continue making Holder Conversions (as defined below) at any time following an Event of Default until such time as the Outstanding Balance is paid in full. In connection with acceleration described herein, Holder need not provide, and Borrower hereby waives, any presentment, demand, protest or other notice of any kind, and Holder may immediately and without expiration of any grace period enforce any and all of its rights and remedies hereunder and all other remedies available to it under applicable law. Such acceleration may be rescinded and annulled by Holder at any time prior to payment hereunder and Holder shall have all rights as a holder of the Note until such time, if any, until Holder receives full payment pursuant to this Section 4.2. No such rescission or annulment shall affect any subsequent Event of Default or impair any right consequent thereon. Nothing herein shall limit Holder’s right to pursue any other remedies available to it at law or in equity including, without limitation, a decree of specific performance and/or injunctive relief with respect to Borrower’s failure to timely deliver Conversion Shares upon Conversion of the Note as required pursuant to the terms hereof.

4.3. Certain Adjustments.

 

4.3.1. Stock Dividends and Splits

 

If the Company, at any time while this Note is outstanding: (i) pays a stock dividend or otherwise makes a distribution or distributions on shares of its Common Stock or any other equity or equity equivalent securities payable in shares of Common Stock (which, for avoidance of doubt, shall not include any shares of Common Stock issued by the Company upon conversion of this Note), (ii) subdivides outstanding shares of Common Stock into a larger number of shares, (iii) combines (including by way of reverse stock split) outstanding shares of Common Stock into a smaller number of shares or (iv) issues by reclassification of shares of the Common Stock any shares of capital stock of the Company, then in each case the Holder Conversion Price shall be multiplied by a fraction of which the numerator shall be the number of shares of Common Stock (excluding treasury shares, if any) outstanding immediately before such event and of which the denominator shall be the number of shares of Common Stock outstanding immediately after such event, and the number of shares issuable upon conversion of this Note shall be proportionately adjusted such that the aggregate Holder Conversion Price of this Note shall remain unchanged. Any adjustment made pursuant to this Section 4.3.1 shall become effective immediately after the record date for the determination of stockholders entitled to receive such dividend or distribution and shall become effective immediately after the effective date in the case of a subdivision, combination or re-classification.

 

4.3.3. Pro Rata Distributions

 

During such time as this Note is outstanding, if the Company shall declare or make any dividend or other distribution of its assets (or rights to acquire its assets) to 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) (a “Distribution”), at any time after the issuance of this Note, then, in each such case, the Holder shall be entitled to participate in such Distribution to the same extent that the Holder would have participated therein if the Holder had held the number of shares of Common Stock acquirable upon complete conversion of this Note (without regard to any limitations on conversion hereof) immediately before the date of which a record is taken for such Distribution, or, if no such record is taken, the date as of which the record holders of shares of Common Stock are to be determined for the participation in such Distribution.

 

 C: 

C-4

 

 

4.3.4. Fundamental Transaction

 

If, at any time while this Note is outstanding, (i) the Company, directly or indirectly, in one or more related transactions effects any merger or consolidation of the Company with or into another Person, (ii) the Company, directly or indirectly, effects any sale, lease, license, assignment, transfer, conveyance or other disposition of all or substantially all of its assets in one or a series of related transactions, (iii) any, direct or indirect, purchase offer, tender offer or exchange offer (whether by the Company or another Person) is completed pursuant to which holders of Common Stock are permitted to sell, tender or exchange their shares for other securities, cash or property and has been accepted by the holders of 50% or more of the outstanding Common Stock, (iv) the Company, directly or indirectly, in one or more related transactions effects any reclassification, reorganization or recapitalization of the Common Stock or any compulsory share exchange pursuant to which the Common Stock is effectively converted into or exchanged for other securities, cash or property, or (v) the Company, directly or indirectly, in one or more related transactions consummates a stock or share purchase agreement or other business combination (including, without limitation, a reorganization, recapitalization, spin-off or scheme of arrangement) with another Person or group of Persons whereby such other Person or group acquires more than 50% of the outstanding shares of Common Stock (not including any shares of Common Stock held by the other Person or other Persons making or party to, or associated or affiliated with the other Persons making or party to, such stock or share purchase agreement or other business combination) (each a “Fundamental Transaction”), then, upon any subsequent conversion of this Note, the Holder shall have the right to receive, for each Holder Conversion Share that would have been issuable upon such conversion immediately prior to the occurrence of such Fundamental Transaction, at the option of the Holder (without regard to any limitation in Section 3.3 on the conversion of this Note), the number of shares of Common Stock of the successor or acquiring corporation or of the Company, if it is the surviving corporation, and any additional consideration (the “Alternate Consideration”) receivable as a result of such Fundamental Transaction by a holder of the number of shares of Common Stock for which this Note is exercisable immediately prior to such Fundamental Transaction. For purposes of any such conversion, the determination of the Holder Conversion Price shall be appropriately adjusted to apply to such Alternate Consideration based on the amount of Alternate Consideration issuable in respect of one share of Common Stock in such Fundamental Transaction, and the Company shall apportion the Holder Conversion Price among the Alternate Consideration in a reasonable manner reflecting the relative value of any different components of the Alternate Consideration. If holders of Common Stock are given any choice as to the securities, cash or property to be received in a Fundamental Transaction, then the Holder shall be given the same choice as to the Alternate Consideration it receives upon any conversion of this Note following such Fundamental Transaction. Upon the occurrence of any such Fundamental Transaction, the Successor Entity shall succeed to, and be substituted for (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.

4.3.5. Calculations

 

All calculations under this Section 4 shall be made to the nearest cent or the nearest 1/100th of a share, as the case may be.

4.3.6. Notice to Holder

 

Whenever the Holder Conversion Price is adjusted pursuant to any provision of this Section 4, the Company shall promptly deliver to the Holder by facsimile or email a notice setting forth the Holder Conversion Price after such adjustment and any resulting adjustment to the number of Conversion Shares and setting forth a brief statement of the facts requiring such adjustment.

 

If (A) the Company shall declare a dividend (or any other distribution in whatever form) on the Common Stock, (B) the Company shall declare a special nonrecurring cash dividend on or a redemption of the Common Stock, (C) the Company shall authorize the granting to all holders of the Common Stock rights or warrants to subscribe for or purchase any shares of capital stock of any class or of any rights, (D) the approval of any stockholders of the Company shall be required in connection with any reclassification of the Common Stock, any consolidation or merger to which the Company is a party, any sale or transfer of all or substantially all of the assets of the Company, or any compulsory share exchange whereby the Common Stock is converted into other securities, cash or property, or (E) the Company shall authorize the voluntary or involuntary dissolution, liquidation or winding up of the affairs of the Company, then, in each case, the Company shall cause to be delivered by facsimile or email to the Holder at its last facsimile number or email address as it shall appear upon the Note Register of the Company, at least 20 calendar days prior to the applicable record or effective date hereinafter specified, a notice stating (x) the date on which a record is to be taken for the purpose of such dividend, distribution, redemption, rights or warrants, or if a record is not to be taken, the date as of which the holders of the Common Stock of record to be entitled to such dividend, distributions, redemption, rights or warrants are to be determined or (y) the date on which such reclassification, consolidation, merger, sale, transfer or share exchange is expected to become effective or close, and the date as of which it is expected that holders of the Common Stock of record shall be entitled to exchange their shares of the Common Stock for securities, cash or other property deliverable upon such reclassification, consolidation, merger, sale, transfer or share exchange; provided that the failure to deliver such notice or any defect therein or in the delivery thereof shall not affect the validity of the corporate action required to be specified in such notice. To the extent that any notice provided in this Note constitutes, or contains, material, non-public information regarding the Company or any of the Subsidiaries, the Company shall simultaneously file such notice with the Commission pursuant to a Current Report on Form 8-K.

6. Waiver.

 

No waiver of any provision of this Note shall be effective unless it is in the form of a writing signed by the party granting the waiver. No waiver of any provision or consent to any prohibited action shall constitute a waiver of any other provision or consent to any other prohibited action, whether or not similar. No waiver or consent shall constitute a continuing waiver or consent or commit a party to provide a waiver or consent in the future except to the extent specifically set forth in writing.

 

7. Method of Conversion Share Delivery.

 

7.1 On or before the close of business on the fifth (5th) Trading Day following the date of delivery of a Holder Conversion Notice, as applicable (the “Delivery Date”), in the event the Conversion Shares have been registered in a registration statement or exempted from registration pursuant to Rule 144 under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (“Rule 144”), Borrower shall, provided it is DWAC Eligible at such time, deliver or cause its transfer agent to deliver the applicable Conversion Shares electronically via DWAC to the account designated by Holder in the applicable Holder Conversion Notice and a check payable to Investor for any cash amounts payable as per the Section 7.3. If Borrower is not DWAC Eligible, it shall deliver to Holder or its broker (as designated in the Holder Conversion Notice), via reputable overnight courier, a certificate representing the number of shares of Common Stock equal to the number of Conversion Shares to which Holder shall be entitled, registered in the name of Holder or its designee. For the avoidance of doubt, Borrower has not met its obligation to deliver Conversion Shares by the Delivery Date unless Holder or its broker, as applicable, has actually received the certificate representing the applicable Conversion Shares no later than the close of business on the relevant Delivery Date pursuant to the terms set forth above.

 

7.2 In the event the Conversion Shares are not registered in a registration statement or exempted from registration pursuant to Rule 144, by the Conversion Date, the Company shall (A) update its transfer agent to record the number of Conversion Shares to which Holder shall be entitled upon such conversion, issued as fully paid to Holder and deliver to Holder a certified true copy of such updated shareholder list, (B) the Company shall issue and deliver to Holder a certificate or certificates for the Conversion Shares, and a check payable to Investor for any cash amounts payable as per the Section 7.3.

 

7.3 No fractional shares or securities shall be issued upon conversion of this Note. In lieu of the Company issuing any fractional shares to Investor upon the conversion of this Note, the Company shall pay to Investor an amount equal to the product obtained by multiplying the applicable Conversion Price in such conversion, by the fraction of a share or such other security not issued pursuant to the previous sentence.

 

8. Conversion Delays.

 

If Borrower fails to deliver Conversion Shares in accordance with the timeframe stated in Section 7, Holder may at any time prior to receiving the applicable Conversion Shares rescind in whole or in part such Conversion, with a corresponding increase to the Outstanding Balance (any returned amount will tack back to the Issuance Date for purposes of determining the holding period under Rule 144).

 

 C: 

C-7

 

 

9. Governing Law; Venue.

 

This Note shall be construed and enforced in accordance with, and all questions concerning the construction, validity, interpretation and performance of this Note shall be governed by, the internal laws of the State of New York, without giving effect to any choice of law or conflict of law provision or rule (whether of the State of New York or any other jurisdiction) that would cause the application of the laws of any jurisdiction other than the State of New York. The provisions set forth in the Purchase Agreement to determine the proper venue for any disputes are incorporated herein by this reference.

 

10. Cancellation.

 

After repayment or conversion of the entire Outstanding Balance, this Note shall be deemed paid in full, shall automatically be deemed canceled, and shall not be reissued.

 

11. Amendments.

 

The prior written consent of both parties hereto shall be required for any change or amendment to this Note.

 

12. Assignments.

 

Borrower may not assign this Note without the prior written consent of Holder. This Note and any shares of Common Stock issued upon conversion of this Note may be offered, sold, assigned or transferred by Holder without the consent of Borrower, provided, however, that any transfer of this Note may be effected only pursuant to the Purchase Agreement and by surrender of this Note to the Company and reissuance of a new note to the transferee.

 

13. 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.”

 

14. Liquidated Damages.

 

Holder and Borrower agree that in the event Borrower fails to comply with any of the terms or provisions of this Note, Holder’s damages would be uncertain and difficult (if not impossible) to accurately estimate because of the parties’ inability to predict future interest rates, future share prices, future trading volumes and other relevant factors. Accordingly, Holder and Borrower agree that any fees, balance adjustments, Default Interest or other charges assessed under this Note are not penalties but instead are intended by the parties to be, and shall be deemed, liquidated damages (under Holder’s and Borrower’s expectations that any such liquidated damages will tack back to the Issuance Date for purposes of determining the holding period under Rule 144).

 

15. Severability.

 

If any part of this Note is construed to be in violation of any law, such part shall be modified to achieve the objective of Borrower and Holder to the fullest extent permitted by law and the balance of this Note shall remain in full force and effect.

This Warrant is one of the warrants to purchase shares of Common Stock issued pursuant to that certain Securities Purchase Agreement (the “Purchase Agreement”) dated as of January 22, 2020 among the Company and the purchasers signatory thereto, as amended from time to time.

Section 2. Exercise.

 

(a) Exercise of Warrant. Exercise of the purchase rights represented by this Warrant may be made, in whole or in part, at any time or times on or after the Initial Exercise Date and on or before the Termination Date by delivery to the Company of a duly executed facsimile copy or a PDF copy submitted by e-mail (or e-mail attachment) of the Notice of Exercise in the form annexed hereto (the “Notice of Exercise”). Within the earlier of (i) two (2) Trading Days and (ii) the number of Trading Days comprising the Standard Settlement Period (as defined in Section 2(e)(i) herein) following the date of exercise as aforesaid, the Holder shall deliver the aggregate Exercise Price for the shares specified in the applicable Notice of Exercise by wire transfer or cashier’s check drawn on a United States bank unless the cashless exercise procedure specified in Section 2(c) below is specified in the applicable Notice of Exercise. No ink-original Notice of Exercise shall be required, nor shall any medallion guarantee (or other type of guarantee or notarization) of any Notice of Exercise be required. Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, the Holder shall not be required to physically surrender this Warrant to the Company until the Holder has purchased all of the Warrant Shares available hereunder and the Warrant has been exercised in full, in which case, the Holder shall surrender this Warrant to the Company for cancellation within three (3) Trading Days of the date on which the final Notice of Exercise is delivered to the Company. Partial exercises of this Warrant resulting in purchases of a portion of the total number of Warrant Shares available hereunder shall have the effect of lowering the outstanding number of Warrant Shares purchasable hereunder in an amount equal to the applicable number of Warrant Shares purchased. The Holder and the Company shall maintain records showing the number of Warrant Shares purchased and the date of such purchases. The Company shall deliver any objection to any Notice of Exercise within one (1) Business Day of receipt of such notice. The Holder and any assignee, by acceptance of this Warrant, acknowledge and agree that, by reason of the provisions of this paragraph, following the purchase of a portion of the Warrant Shares hereunder, the number of Warrant Shares available for purchase hereunder at any given time may be less than the amount stated on the face hereof.

(b) Exercise Price. The exercise price per share of the Common Stock under this Warrant shall be $1.802, subject to adjustment hereunder (the “Exercise Price”).

 

(c) Cashless Exercise. If at any time after the six-month anniversary of the Issuance Date, there is no effective registration statement registering, or no current prospectus available for, the resale of the Warrant Shares by the Holder, then this Warrant may also be exercised, in whole or in part, at such time by means of a “cashless exercise” in which the Holder shall be entitled to receive a number of Warrant Shares equal to the quotient obtained by dividing [(A-B) (X)] by (A), where:

 

(A) = as applicable: (i) the VWAP on the Trading Day immediately preceding the date of the applicable Notice of Exercise if such Notice of Exercise is (1) both executed and delivered pursuant to Section 2(a) hereof on a day that is not a Trading Day or (2) both executed and delivered pursuant to Section 2(a) hereof on a Trading Day prior to the opening of “regular trading hours” (as defined in Rule 600(b)(64) of Regulation NMS promulgated under the federal securities laws) on such Trading Day, (ii) at the option of the Holder, either (y) the VWAP on the Trading Day immediately preceding the date of the applicable Notice of Exercise or (z) the Bid Price of the Common Stock on the principal Trading Market as reported by Bloomberg L.P. as of the time of the Holder’s execution of the applicable Notice of Exercise if such Notice of Exercise is executed during “regular trading hours” on a Trading Day and is delivered within two (2) hours thereafter (including until two (2) hours after the close of “regular trading hours” on a Trading Day) pursuant to Section 2(a) hereof or (iii) the VWAP on the date of the applicable Notice of Exercise if the date of such Notice of Exercise is a Trading Day and such Notice of Exercise is both executed and delivered pursuant to Section 2(a) hereof after the close of “regular trading hours” on such Trading Day;

(X) = the number of Warrant Shares that would be issuable upon exercise of this Warrant in accordance with the terms of this Warrant if such exercise were by means of a cash exercise rather than a cashless exercise.

 

If Warrant Shares are issued in such a cashless exercise, the parties acknowledge and agree that in accordance with Section 3(a)(9) of the Securities Act, the Warrant Shares shall take on the characteristics of the Warrants being exercised, and the holding period of the Warrant Shares being issued may be tacked on to the holding period of this Warrant. The Company agrees not to take any position contrary to this Section 2(c). Without limiting the cashless exercise provision set forth in this Section 2(c), the liquidated damages provision in Section 2(d)(i) or the buy-in provision in Section 2(d)(iv), there is no circumstance that would require the Company to net-cash settle this Warrant.

The Company may exercise its right to require exercise under this Section 2 by delivering within not more than five (5) Trading Days following the end of such Mandatory Exercise Measuring Period a written notice thereof by electronic mail to the Holder (the “Mandatory Exercise Notice” and the date that the Holder received such notice is referred to as the “Mandatory Exercise Notice Date”).

The Mandatory Exercise Notice shall state (I) the Trading Day on which the Mandatory Exercise shall occur, which shall be the second (2nd) Trading Day following the Mandatory Exercise Notice Date (the “Mandatory Exercise Date”) and (II) the aggregate number of Warrants which the Company has elected to be subject to such Mandatory Exercise from the Holder (the “Mandatory Exercise Amount”) pursuant to this Section 2. If the Warrants have not been exercised by the Mandatory Exercise Date, the Warrants shall be cancelled. Notwithstanding the forgoing, the Company may only exercise its rights pursuant to this Section 2(d) if the Warrant Shares (i) have been registered by the Company on an effective registration statement registering the resale of the Warrant Shares, or (ii) can be sold pursuant to Rule 144 without current public information requirements or manner of sale restrictions. This Section 2(d) shall be subject to the following requirements that (i) the Company’s Common Stock and Warrant Shares will continue trading on the Trading Market with the Company’s belief, in good faith, that trading of the Company’s Common Stock and the Warrant Shares on the Trading Market will continue uninterrupted for the foreseeable future, (ii) the Warrant Shares may be resold pursuant to registration statement or exempted from registration pursuant to Rule 144, (iii) the applicable Holder is not in possession of any information provided by the Company, any of its Subsidiaries, or any of the Company’s officers, directors, employees, agents or Affiliates, that constitutes, or may constitute, material non-public information, and (iv) for each Trading Day in a period of twenty (20) consecutive Trading Days prior to the applicable date in question, the daily trading volume for the Company’s Common Stock on the Trading Market exceeds 300,000 shares (subject to adjustment for forward and reverse stock splits and the like) per Trading Day.

 

(e) Mechanics of Exercise.

The Company shall cause the Warrant Shares purchased hereunder to be transmitted by the Transfer Agent to the Holder by crediting the account of the Holder’s or its designee’s balance account with The Depository Trust Company through its Deposit or Withdrawal at Custodian system (“DWAC”) if the Company is then a participant in such system and either (A) there is an effective registration statement permitting the issuance of the Warrant Shares to or resale of the Warrant Shares by the Holder or (B) the Warrant Shares are eligible for resale by the Holder without volume or manner-of-sale limitations pursuant to Rule 144 (assuming cashless exercise of the Warrants), and otherwise by physical delivery of a certificate, registered in the Company’s share register in the name of the Holder or its designee, for the number of Warrant Shares to which the Holder is entitled pursuant to such exercise to the address specified by the Holder in the Notice of Exercise by the date that is the earliest of (i) two (2) Trading Days after the delivery to the Company of the Notice of Exercise, (ii) one (1) Trading Day after delivery of the aggregate Exercise Price to the Company and (iii) the number of Trading Days comprising the Standard Settlement Period after the delivery to the Company of the Notice of Exercise (such date, the “Warrant Share Delivery Date”). Upon delivery of the Notice of Exercise, the Holder shall be deemed for all corporate purposes to have become the holder of record of the Warrant Shares with respect to which this Warrant has been exercised, irrespective of the date of delivery of the Warrant Shares, provided that payment of the aggregate Exercise Price (other than in the case of a cashless exercise) is received within the earlier of (i) two (2) Trading Days and (ii) the number of Trading Days comprising the Standard Settlement Period following delivery of the Notice of Exercise. The Company agrees to maintain a transfer agent that is a participant in the FAST program so long as this Warrant remains outstanding and exercisable.

(iii) Rescission Rights. If the Company fails to cause the Transfer Agent to transmit to the Holder the Warrant Shares pursuant to Section 2(d)(i) by the Warrant Share Delivery Date, then the Holder will have the right to rescind such exercise.

 

(iv) No Fractional Shares or Scrip. No fractional shares or scrip representing fractional shares shall be issued upon the exercise of this Warrant. As to any fraction of a share which the Holder would otherwise be entitled to purchase upon such exercise, the Company shall, at its election, either pay a cash adjustment in respect of such final fraction in an amount equal to such fraction multiplied by the Exercise Price or round up to the next whole share.

 

(v) Charges, Taxes and Expenses. Issuance of Warrant Shares shall be made without charge to the Holder for any issue or transfer tax or other incidental expense in respect of the issuance of such Warrant Shares, all of which taxes and expenses shall be paid by the Company, and such Warrant Shares shall be issued in the name of the Holder or in such name or names as may be directed by the Holder; provided, however, that in the event that Warrant Shares are to be issued in a name other than the name of the Holder, this Warrant when surrendered for exercise shall be accompanied by the Assignment Form attached hereto duly executed by the Holder and the Company may require, as a condition thereto, the payment of a sum sufficient to reimburse it for any transfer tax incidental thereto. The Company shall pay all Transfer Agent fees required for same-day processing of any Notice of Exercise and all fees to the Depository Trust Company (or another established clearing corporation performing similar functions) required for same-day electronic delivery of the Warrant Shares.

(a) Stock Dividends and Splits. If the Company, at any time while this Warrant is outstanding: (i) pays a stock dividend or otherwise makes a distribution or distributions on shares of its Common Stock or any other equity or equity equivalent securities payable in shares of Common Stock (which, for avoidance of doubt, shall not include any shares of Common Stock issued by the Company upon exercise of this Warrant), (ii) subdivides outstanding shares of Common Stock into a larger number of shares, (iii) combines (including by way of reverse stock split) outstanding shares of Common Stock into a smaller number of shares or (iv) issues by reclassification of shares of the Common Stock any shares of capital stock of the Company, then in each case the Exercise Price shall be multiplied by a fraction of which the numerator shall be the number of shares of Common Stock (excluding treasury shares, if any) outstanding immediately before such event and of which the denominator shall be the number of shares of Common Stock outstanding immediately after such event, and the number of shares issuable upon exercise of this Warrant shall be proportionately adjusted such that the aggregate Exercise Price of this Warrant shall remain unchanged. Any adjustment made pursuant to this Section 3(a) shall become effective immediately after the record date for the determination of stockholders entitled to receive such dividend or distribution and shall become effective immediately after the effective date in the case of a subdivision, combination or re-classification.

 

(b) Pro Rata Distributions. During such time as this Warrant is outstanding, if the Company shall declare or make any dividend or other distribution of its assets (or rights to acquire its assets) to 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) (a “Distribution”), at any time after the issuance of this Warrant, then, in each such case, the Holder shall be entitled to participate in such Distribution to the same extent that the Holder would have participated therein if the Holder had held the number of shares of Common Stock acquirable upon complete exercise of this Warrant (without regard to any limitations on exercise hereof, including without limitation, the Beneficial Ownership Limitation) immediately before the date of which a record is taken for such Distribution, or, if no such record is taken, the date as of which the record holders of shares of Common Stock are to be determined for the participation in such Distribution (provided, however, that, to the extent that the Holder’s right to participate in any such Distribution would result in the Holder exceeding the Beneficial Ownership Limitation, then the Holder shall not be entitled to participate in such Distribution to such extent (or in the beneficial ownership of any shares of Common Stock as a result of such Distribution to such extent) and the portion of such Distribution shall be held in abeyance for the benefit of the Holder until such time, if ever, as its right thereto would not result in the Holder exceeding the Beneficial Ownership Limitation).

(c) Fundamental Transaction. If, at any time while this Warrant is outstanding, (i) the Company, directly or indirectly, in one or more related transactions effects any merger or consolidation of the Company with or into another Person, (ii) the Company, directly or indirectly, effects any sale, lease, license, assignment, transfer, conveyance or other disposition of all or substantially all of its assets in one or a series of related transactions, (iii) any, direct or indirect, purchase offer, tender offer or exchange offer (whether by the Company or another Person) is completed pursuant to which holders of Common Stock are permitted to sell, tender or exchange their shares for other securities, cash or property and has been accepted by the holders of 50% or more of the outstanding Common Stock, (iv) the Company, directly or indirectly, in one or more related transactions effects any reclassification, reorganization or recapitalization of the Common Stock or any compulsory share exchange pursuant to which the Common Stock is effectively converted into or exchanged for other securities, cash or property, or (v) the Company, directly or indirectly, in one or more related transactions consummates a stock or share purchase agreement or other business combination (including, without limitation, a reorganization, recapitalization, spin-off or scheme of arrangement) with another Person or group of Persons whereby such other Person or group acquires more than 50% of the outstanding shares of Common Stock (not including any shares of Common Stock held by the other Person or other Persons making or party to, or associated or affiliated with the other Persons making or party to, such stock or share purchase agreement or other business combination) (each a “Fundamental Transaction”), then, upon any subsequent exercise of this Warrant, the Holder shall have the right to receive, for each Warrant Share that would have been issuable upon such exercise immediately prior to the occurrence of such Fundamental Transaction, at the option of the Holder (without regard to any limitation in Section 2(e) on the exercise of this Warrant), the number of shares of Common Stock of the successor or acquiring corporation or of the Company, if it is the surviving corporation, and any additional consideration (the “Alternate Consideration”) receivable as a result of such Fundamental Transaction by a holder of the number of shares of Common Stock for which this Warrant is exercisable immediately prior to such Fundamental Transaction (without regard to any limitation in Section 2(e) on the exercise of this Warrant). For purposes of any such exercise, the determination of the Exercise Price shall be appropriately adjusted to apply to such Alternate Consideration based on the amount of Alternate Consideration issuable in respect of one share of Common Stock in such Fundamental Transaction, and the Company shall apportion the Exercise Price among the Alternate Consideration in a reasonable manner reflecting the relative value of any different components of the Alternate Consideration. The Company shall cause any successor entity in a Fundamental Transaction in which the Company is not the survivor (the “Successor Entity”) to assume in writing all of the obligations of the Company under this Warrant and the other Transaction Documents in accordance with the provisions of this Section 3(e) pursuant to written agreements in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to the Holder and shall, at the option of the Holder, deliver to the Holder in exchange for this Warrant a security of the Successor Entity evidenced by a written instrument substantially similar in form and substance to this Warrant which is exercisable for a corresponding number of shares of capital stock of such Successor Entity (or its parent entity) equivalent to the shares of Common Stock acquirable and receivable upon exercise of this Warrant (without regard to any limitations on the exercise of this Warrant) prior to such Fundamental Transaction, and with an exercise price which applies the exercise price hereunder to such shares of capital stock (but taking into account the relative value of the shares of Common Stock pursuant to such Fundamental Transaction and the value of such shares of capital stock, such number of shares of capital stock and such exercise price being for the purpose of protecting the economic value of this Warrant immediately prior to the consummation of such Fundamental Transaction), and which is reasonably satisfactory in form and substance to the Holder. Upon the occurrence of any such Fundamental Transaction, the Successor Entity shall succeed to, and be substituted for (so that from and after the date of such Fundamental Transaction, the provisions of this Warrant 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 Warrant and the other Transaction Documents with the same effect as if such Successor Entity had been named as the Company herein.

(c) Warrant Register. The Company shall register this Warrant, upon records to be maintained by the Company for that purpose (the “Warrant Register”), in the name of the record Holder hereof from time to time. The Company may deem and treat the registered Holder of this Warrant as the absolute owner hereof for the purpose of any exercise hereof or any distribution to the Holder, and for all other purposes, absent actual notice to the contrary.

 

(d) Transfer Restrictions. If, at the time of the surrender of this Warrant in connection with any transfer of this Warrant, the transfer of this Warrant shall not be either (i) registered pursuant to an effective registration statement under the Securities Act and under applicable state securities or blue sky laws or (ii) eligible for resale without volume or manner-of-sale restrictions or current public information requirements pursuant to Rule 144, the Company may require, as a condition of allowing such transfer, that the Holder or transferee of this Warrant, as the case may be, comply with the provisions of Section 5.7 of the Purchase Agreement.

 

 C: 

D-9

 

 

(e) Representation by the Holder.

Section 5. Miscellaneous.

 

(a) No Rights as Stockholder Until Exercise. This Warrant does not entitle the Holder to any voting rights, dividends or other rights as a stockholder of the Company prior to the exercise hereof as set forth in Section 2(d)(i), except as expressly set forth in Section 3.

 

(b) Loss, Theft, Destruction or Mutilation of Warrant. The Company covenants that upon receipt by the Company of evidence reasonably satisfactory to it of the loss, theft, destruction or mutilation of this Warrant or any stock certificate relating to the Warrant Shares, and in case of loss, theft or destruction, of indemnity or security reasonably satisfactory to it (which, in the case of the Warrant, shall not include the posting of any bond), and upon surrender and cancellation of such Warrant or stock certificate, if mutilated, the Company will make and deliver a new Warrant or stock certificate of like tenor and dated as of such cancellation, in lieu of such Warrant or stock certificate.

 

(c) Saturdays, Sundays, Holidays, etc. If the last or appointed day for the taking of any action or the expiration of any right required or granted herein shall not be a Business Day, then, such action may be taken or such right may be exercised on the next succeeding Business Day.

 

(d) Authorized Shares.

 

The Company covenants that, during the period the Warrant is outstanding, it will reserve from its authorized and unissued Common Stock a sufficient number of shares to provide for the issuance of the Warrant Shares upon the exercise of any purchase rights under this Warrant. The Company further covenants that its issuance of this Warrant shall constitute full authority to its officers who are charged with the duty of issuing the necessary Warrant Shares upon the exercise of the purchase rights under this Warrant. The Company will take all such reasonable action as may be necessary to assure that such Warrant Shares may be issued as provided herein without violation of any applicable law or regulation, or of any requirements of the Trading Market upon which the Common Stock may be listed. The Company covenants that all Warrant Shares which may be issued upon the exercise of the purchase rights represented by this Warrant will, upon exercise of the purchase rights represented by this Warrant and payment for such Warrant Shares in accordance herewith, be duly authorized, validly issued, fully paid and nonassessable and free from all taxes, liens and charges created by the Company in respect of the issue thereof (other than taxes in respect of any transfer occurring contemporaneously with such issue).

D-10

 

 

Except and to the extent as waived or consented to by the Holder, the Company shall not by any action, including, without limitation, amending its certificate of incorporation or through any reorganization, transfer of assets, consolidation, merger, 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 Warrant, but will at all times in good faith assist in the carrying out of all such terms and in the taking of all such actions as may be necessary or appropriate to protect the rights of Holder as set forth in this Warrant against impairment. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the Company will (i) not increase the par value of any Warrant Shares above the amount payable therefor upon such exercise immediately prior to such increase in par value, (ii) take all such action as may be necessary or appropriate in order that the Company may validly and legally issue fully paid and nonassessable Warrant Shares upon the exercise of this Warrant and (iii) use commercially reasonable efforts to obtain all such authorizations, exemptions or consents from any public regulatory body having jurisdiction thereof, as may be, necessary to enable the Company to perform its obligations under this Warrant.

 

Before taking any action which would result in an adjustment in the number of Warrant Shares for which this Warrant is exercisable or in the Exercise Price, the Company shall obtain all such authorizations or exemptions thereof, or consents thereto, as may be necessary from any public regulatory body or bodies having jurisdiction thereof.

 

(e) Jurisdiction. All questions concerning the construction, validity, enforcement and interpretation of this Warrant shall be determined in accordance with the provisions of the Purchase Agreement.

 

(f) Restrictions. The Holder acknowledges that the Warrant Shares acquired upon the exercise of this Warrant, if not registered and the Holder does not utilize cashless exercise, will have restrictions upon resale imposed by state and federal securities laws.

 

(g) Nonwaiver and Expenses. No course of dealing or any delay or failure to exercise any right hereunder on the part of Holder shall operate as a waiver of such right or otherwise prejudice the Holder’s rights, powers or remedies. Without limiting any other provision of this Warrant or the Purchase Agreement, if the Company willfully and knowingly fails to comply with any provision of this Warrant, which results in any material damages to the Holder, the Company shall pay to the Holder such amounts as shall be sufficient to cover any costs and expenses including, but not limited to, reasonable attorneys’ fees, including those of appellate proceedings, incurred by the Holder in collecting any amounts due pursuant hereto or in otherwise enforcing any of its rights, powers or remedies hereunder.

 

(h) Notices. Any notice, request or other document required or permitted to be given or delivered to the Holder by the Company shall be delivered in accordance with the notice provisions of the Purchase Agreement.

 

(i) Limitation of Liability. No provision hereof, in the absence of any affirmative action by the Holder to exercise this Warrant to purchase Warrant Shares, and no enumeration herein of the rights or privileges of the Holder, shall give rise to any liability of the Holder for the purchase price of any Common Stock or as a stockholder of the Company, whether such liability is asserted by the Company or by creditors of the Company.

 

 C: 

D-11

 

 

(j) Remedies. The Holder, in addition to being entitled to exercise all rights granted by law, including recovery of damages, will be entitled to specific performance of its rights under this Warrant. The Company agrees that monetary damages would not be adequate compensation for any loss incurred by reason of a breach by it of the provisions of this Warrant and hereby agrees to waive and not to assert the defense in any action for specific performance that a remedy at law would be adequate.

 

(k) Successors and Assigns. Subject to applicable securities laws, this Warrant and the rights and obligations evidenced hereby shall inure to the benefit of and be binding upon the successors and permitted assigns of the Company and the successors and permitted assigns of Holder. The provisions of this Warrant are intended to be for the benefit of any Holder from time to time of this Warrant and shall be enforceable by the Holder or holder of Warrant Shares.

 

(l) Amendment. This Warrant may be modified or amended or the provisions hereof waived with the written consent of the Company and the Holder.

 

(m) Severability. Wherever possible, each provision of this Warrant shall be interpreted in such manner as to be effective and valid under applicable law, but if any provision of this Warrant shall be prohibited by or invalid under applicable law, such provision shall be ineffective to the extent of such prohibition or invalidity, without invalidating the remainder of such provisions or the remaining provisions of this Warrant.
