In addition, the Company issued 11,875 shares of its common stock to FirstFire as a commitment fee pursuant to the FirstFire SPA. Pursuant to the terms of the FirstFire Note, the Company agreed to pay to $1,266,666.67 (the “FirstFire Principal Sum”) to FirstFire and to pay interest on the principal balance at the rate of 12% per annum (provided that the first six months of interest shall be guaranteed and the remaining 18 months of interest shall be deemed earned in full if any amount is outstanding under the FirstFire Note after 180 days from June 10, 2021).

Upon the occurrence of any Event of Default (as defined in the FirstFire Note), which has not been cured within three calendar days, the FirstFire Note shall become immediately due and payable and the Company shall pay to FirstFire, in full satisfaction of its obligations hereunder, an amount equal to the FirstFire Principal Sum then outstanding plus accrued interest multiplied by 125%.

 

Pursuant to the terms of the FirstFire SPA, the Company also issued to FirstFire a three-year warrant (the “FirstFire Warrant”) to purchase 593,750 shares of the Company’s common stock at an exercise price equal to (i) 110% of the per share offering price of the offering made in connection with any uplisting of the Company’s common stock; or (ii) prior to the determination of the per share offering price of the offering made in connection with any uplisting of the common stock and following such time if the uplisting contemplated in clause (i) is not completed by November 1, 2021, $10.73.

 

The Company also agreed to prepare and file with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) a registration statement covering the resale of all shares issued or issuable pursuant to the FirstFire SPA, including shares issued upon conversion of the FirstFire Note or exercise of the FirstFire Warrant.
