Exhibit 10.1
LOAN AGREEMENT
This Loan Agreement (“Agreement”) is made and entered into in this 11th day of May 2021 (“Effective Date”), by and between JUPITER WELLNESS, INC., a Delaware corporation, its successors and assigns (the “Company”), and Greentree Financial Group, Inc., a Florida corporation (the “Lender”).
RECITALS
WHEREAS, the Company is in need of capital for working capital and product expansion and the Lender has agreed to provide $2,500,000.00 of such capital according to the terms hereof; and
WHEREAS, the Lender and Company are entering into this Agreement to establish terms by which the Lender, in their sole discretion, may fund Loans, as set forth herein and therein the related Note, described below.
AGREEMENT
NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the mutual covenants and agreements contained herein, and other good and valuable consideration, the sufficiency of which is acknowledged by the Lender and Company (each “party” and, collectively, “parties”), the parties hereby agree as follows:
1. LOANS; PROMISSORY NOTE. The Lender shall loan the Company $2,500,000 (the “Principal Amount”) with a 5% original issuance discount, pursuant to the terms hereof; provided, nothing herein or otherwise shall obligate Lender to make any future loans to the Company. All sums advanced pursuant to the terms of this Agreement (a “Loan”) shall be evidenced by a separate 8% convertible promissory note (the “Note”), in substantially the form set forth as Exhibit A hereto. The Note shall be convertible into shares of the Company’s common stock (the “Common Stock”) pursuant to the terms contained in the Note. All covenants, conditions and agreements contained herein are made a part of the Note, unless modified therein.
a. Unless stated otherwise in the Note, the Note will automatically mature six (6) months from the effective date of the applicable Note.
b. All sums advanced pursuant to this Agreement shall bear simple interest from the date the Loan is made until paid in full at an interest rate of eight percent (8%) per annum. The accrued interest shall not compound and will be calculated on the basis of a 360-day year. Interest shall be paid by the Company quarterly. In the Event of a Default (as defined in the Note), the Note will bear simple interest at an annual rate of 18%, which shall become the new rate of interest on this Note.
c. In the event that the Company consummates any kinds of financing of at least $5.0 million while the Note is outstanding (a “Qualified Financing”), the Company agrees to apply all proceeds from its Qualified Financing to repayment of this Note until it has been paid in full.
2. WARRANTS. Upon the sale of the Note of $2,500,000.00 by the Company to the Lender at Effective Date, the Company shall simultaneously issue to the Lender at the Effective Date, a warrant in substantially the form annexed hereto as Exhibit B (the “Warrant”) to purchase an aggregate of 416,667 shares of Common Stock (the “Warrant Shares”) at an exercise price of $6.00 per share (the “Exercise Price”). The Warrant shall be cashless exercisable for a period of five (5) years from the issue date specified on the face of such Warrant until and unless the underlying commons shares are registered by the Company in an effective registration statement as set forth in Section 7, and such registration statement stays effective, in which event the Warrants shall be exercisable only on a cash basis. The Warrants shall have Down Round Protection meaning that prior to exercise, if at any time the Company grants, issues or sells any Common Stock, options to purchase Common Stock, securities convertible into Common Stock or rights relating to Common Stock (the “Purchase Rights”) to any person, entity, association, or other organization other than the Lender, at a price per share less than the Exercise Price, then the Exercise Price hereof shall be proportionately reduced to match the price per share of the Purchase Rights. For purposes of clarification, if the Company sells Common Stock at $5.00 per share at any time after the date hereof but prior to exercise, then the Exercise Price of Lender’s Warrant Shares would be adjusted to $5.00. Notwithstanding, the Exercise Price may not exceed $5.00 per share in any case.
The issuance of Purchase Rights shall not constitute a Down Round for purposes of this Agreement in the event of: (i) the exercise or issuance of stock options or the conversion of convertible securities in each case issued to employees, directors of, or consultants to the Company pursuant to a plan, agreement or arrangement approved by the Board of Directors of the Company; (ii) a dividend or distribution payable to holders of capital stock of the Company; (iii) a subdivision (by stock split, recapitalization or otherwise) of outstanding shares of the Company into a greater number of shares ; or (iv) the issuance of shares pursuant to a currently outstanding security. Each of these events shall be an “Exempt Issuance”.
3. PREPAYMENT. The Company may, at its option, at any time and from time to time, prepay all or any part of the principal balance of this Note before the Maturity Date, without any penalty. In the event of prepayment, the Lender shall retain the Warrants
4. REDEMPTION. The Warrant shall be redeemable when the Company’s common stock closes at a price of $12.00 per share or higher for a period of 30 consecutive trading days and if the Registration Statement covering the shares underlying the Warrants is still effective. The Company shall give 30 days’ notice of redemption during which time, the holder of the warrant may exercise it to obtain the economic benefits of the increase in price of the Company’s common stock.
5. ALLOWANCE FOR LEGAL FEE. There will be a $25,000 allowance for Lender’s legal fees paid by the Company and deducted from Lender’s payment.
6. PAYMENT TERMS. Upon signing this Agreement, the Lender will pay the Company $2,350,000, net of original issuance discount and the allowance for legal fees specified in Section 5 hereof.
7. REGISTRATION RIGHTS. The Company shall prepare and file with the United States Securities and Exchange Commission (the “Commission” or “SEC”) a registration statement on Form S-1 (the “Form S-1” or “Registration Statement”) within 30 days from the Effective Date to cover two times the Common Stock underlying the Note conversion based on the fixed conversion price of $6.00 and the Warrant Shares. The Form S-1 must be effective within 45 days from the filing date. There shall be monthly liquidated damages equal to 2.0% of the Principal Amount (the “Liquidated Damage Penalty”) if the Registration Statement is not filed within 30 days from the Effective Date and/or declared effective within 45 days from the filing date of the Registration Statement, which damages shall accrue each month until the applicable breach (failure to timely file, failure to timely have declared effective, or both) has been cured. The parties acknowledge and agree that damages which will result to Lender for Company’s failure to timely file or have declared effective the Registration Statement shall be extremely difficult or impossible to establish or prove, and agree that the payment of Liquidated Damage Penalty is a reasonable estimate of potential damages and shall constitute liquidated damages for any breach of this paragraph. Any amounts due under this Section shall be paid by the fifth (5th) day of the month following the month in which they accrued or, at the option of Lender, added to the principal of the Note. The legal fees associated with filing the Form S-1 shall be paid by Company
8. REPRESENTATIONS AND WARRANTIES BY THE COMPANY. In order to induce Lender to enter into this Agreement and to make the Loans provided for herein, Company represents and warrants to Lender as follows:
a. Organization, Good Standing and Power. The Company is a corporation duly incorporated, validly existing and in good standing under the laws of the State of Delaware and has the requisite corporate power to own, lease and operate its properties and assets and to conduct its business as it is now being conducted.
b. Non-Shell Status. The Company is not now or ever been a shell as that term is defined in Rule 405 of the Securities Act.
c. Authorization; Enforcement. The Company has the requisite corporate power and authority to enter into and perform this Agreement, the Note, and the Warrants (all such documents together with all amendments, schedules, exhibits, annexes, supplements and related items, to each such document shall hereinafter be collectively referred to as, the “Transaction Documents”). The execution, delivery and performance of the Transaction Documents by the Company, and the consummation by it of the transactions contemplated in, have been duly and validly authorized by all necessary corporate action. The Transaction Documents, when executed and delivered, will constitute valid and binding obligations of the Company enforceable against the Company in accordance with their terms, except as such enforceability may be limited by applicable bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization, moratorium, liquidation, conservatorship, receivership or similar laws relating to, or affecting generally the enforcement of, creditor's rights and remedies or by other equitable principles of general application.
d. Disclosure. None of the Transaction Documents nor any other document, certificate or instrument furnished to the Lender by or on behalf of the Company in connection with the transactions contemplated by the Transaction Documents contains any untrue statement of a material fact or omits to state a material fact necessary in order to make the statements made herein or therein, in the light of the circumstances under which they were made herein or therein, not misleading.
e. Adequate Shares. The Company will at all times have authorized and reserved a sufficient number of shares of Common Stock to provide for the exercise of the rights represented by the respective Warrants and Note.
f. Periodic Filings. The Company at all times will remain current in its reporting requirements with the SEC under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”) and maintain its continued listing of the Company’s common stock on NASDAQ Global Market.
g. Additional Issuances. Except for the transactions contemplated by the Transaction Documents, the Company, for a period of twelve (12) months from the date hereof, will not issue, grant or sell any security with a variable conversion or exercise rate.
9. REPRESENTATIONS AND WARRANTIES BY LENDER. Lender, by the acceptance of this Note, represents and warrants to Company as follows:
a. Lender is acquiring the Note with the intent to hold as an investment and not with a view of distribution.
b. Lender is an “accredited investor” within the definition contained in Rule 501(a) under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”), and is acquiring the Note for its own account, for investment, and not with a view to, or for sale in connection with, the distribution thereof or of any interest therein. Lender has adequate net worth and means of providing for its current needs and contingencies and is able to sustain a complete loss of the investment in the Note, and has no need for liquidity in such investment. Lender, itself or through its officers, employees or agents, has sufficient knowledge and experience in financial and business matters to be capable of evaluating the merits and risks of an investment such as an investment in the Securities, and Lender, either alone or through its officers, employees or agents, has evaluated the merits and risks of the investment in the Note.
c. Lender acknowledges and agrees that it is purchasing the Note hereunder based upon its own inspection, examination and determination with respect thereto as to all matters, and without reliance upon any express or implied representations or warranties of any nature, whether in writing, orally or otherwise, made by or on behalf of or imputed to the Company.
10. LIQUIDATED DAMAGES.
a. If (i) the Registration Statement on Form S-1 is not filed with the Commission within 30 days from the Effective Date, (ii) the Registration Statement has not been declared effective by the Commission within 45 days from the filing date of the Registration Statement, or (iii) any registration statement required by this Agreement is filed and declared effective by the Commission but shall thereafter cease to be effective or fail to be usable for its intended purpose (each such event referred to as a “Registration Default”), the Company hereby agrees to pay to the Lender Liquidated Damage Penalty as set forth in Section 7 until the Form S-1 takes effective. Following the cure of all Registration Defaults relating to any particular registrable Securities, Liquidated Damages shall cease to accrue; provided, however, that, if after Liquidated Damages have ceased to accrue, a different Registration Default occurs, Liquidated Damages shall again accrue pursuant to the foregoing provisions. Any amounts due under this Section shall be paid by the fifth (5th) day of the month following the month in which they accrued.
b. If the Company fails to deliver any Securities due Lender hereunder on the date dictated by this Agreement (each a, “Delivery Date”), the Company shall pay to Lender in immediately available funds $1,000.00 per day past the Delivery Date that the Securities are actually issued. Any amounts due under this Section shall be paid by the fifth (5th) day of the month following the month in which they accrued. The Company agrees that the right to receive Securities is a valuable right to the Lender and a material consideration of each of them entering this Agreement. The parties agree that it would be impracticable and extremely difficult to ascertain the amount of actual damages caused by a failure of the Company to timely deliver shares as required hereby. Therefore, the parties agree that the foregoing liquidated damages provision represents reasonable compensation for the loss which would be incurred by the Lender due to any such breach. The parties agree that this Section is not intended to in any way limit Lender’s right to pursue other remedies, including actual damages and/or equitable relief.
c. The Company and Lender hereto acknowledge and agree that the sums payable as Liquidated Damages under subsection 10(a) and 10(b) above shall constitute liquidated damages and not penalties and are in addition to all other rights of the Lender, including the right to call a default under the Securities Purchase Agreement. The parties further acknowledge that (i) the amount of loss or damages likely to be incurred is incapable or is difficult to precisely estimate, (ii) the amounts specified in such subsections bear a reasonable relationship to, and are not plainly or grossly disproportionate to, the probable loss likely to be incurred in connection with any failure by the Company to obtain or maintain the effectiveness of a registration statement, (iii) one of the reasons for the Company and the Lender reaching an agreement as to such amounts was the uncertainty and cost of litigation regarding the question of actual damages, and (iv) the Company and the Lender are sophisticated business parties and have been represented by sophisticated and able legal counsel and negotiated this Agreement at arm’s length.
11. COMMON SHARE ISSUANCE. Upon receipt by the Company of a written request from Lender to convert any amount due under any Note or to exercise any portion of any Warrant, subject to any limitations on conversion or exercise contained in any Note and/or Warrant, the Company shall have three (3) business days (“Delivery Date”) to issue the shares of Common Stock rightfully listed in such request. If the Company fails to timely deliver the shares, the Company shall pay to Lender in immediately available funds $1,000.00 per business day past the Delivery Date that the shares are actually issued. Any amounts due under this Section shall be paid by the fifth (5th) day of the month following the month in which they accrued or, at the option of Lender, may be added to the principal under any Note. The Company agrees that the right to convert the Note or exercise its Warrants is a valuable right to Lender and a material consideration of it entering this Agreement. The parties agree that it would be impracticable and extremely difficult to ascertain the amount of actual damages caused by a failure of the Company to timely deliver shares as required hereby. Therefore, the parties agree that the foregoing liquidated damages provision represents reasonable compensation for the loss which would be incurred by the Lender due to any such breach. The parties agree that this Section is not intended to in any way limit Lender’s right to pursue other remedies, including actual damages and/or equitable relief.
12. CONVERSION COSTS. The Company agrees to reimburse Lender’s certificate processing cost by adding $1,500 to the principal for each note conversion of at least $150,000 effected by Lender. There shall be no reimbursement for conversions under $150,000.
13. EVENTS OF DEFAULT. An event of default will occur if any of the following circumstances occur (each an “Event of Default”):
a. Any representation or warranty made by Company in this Agreement or in connection with any Warrant or Note, or in any financial statement, or any other statement furnished by Company to Lender is untrue in any material respect at the time when made or becomes untrue.
b. Default by Company in the observance or performance of any other covenant or agreement contained in this Agreement.
c. Default by Company under the terms of any Note or Warrant or any other third party note or warrant that exceeds a value of $500,000.
d. Filing by Company of a voluntary petition in bankruptcy seeking reorganization, arrangement or readjustment of debts, or any other relief under the Bankruptcy Code as amended or under any other insolvency act or law, state or federal, now or hereafter existing.
e. Filing of an involuntary petition against Company in bankruptcy seeking reorganization, arrangement or readjustment of debts, or any other relief under the Bankruptcy Code as amended, or under any other insolvency act or law, state or federal, now or hereafter existing, and the continuance thereof for sixty (60) days undismissed, unbonded or undischarged.
f. Company liquidates, transfers, sells or assigns substantially its assets or elects to wind down its operations or dissolve.
g. The Company fails to maintain irrevocable TA instruction or file with the Company’s transfer agent along with a reserve of common shares sufficient to satisfy the Note based on a then hypothetical conversion scenario per the terms of the Note.
h. The Company fails to maintain DTC or DWAC eligibility.
i. The Company fails to stay current in its SEC reporting obligations or maintain its continued listing of the Company’s common stock on NASDAQ Global Market.
j. The Company fails to deliver Lender the shares of Common Stock rightfully listed in any Conversion Notice or any Warrants Exercise Notice within three (3) business days.
k. The Company breaches any other agreement it has with Lender or his assigns.
l. The Company interferes with Lender’s or its assigns’ efforts to remove the restrictive legend from the Common Stock issued as a result of conversion of any Note when Lender or his assign has provided a reasoned attorney opinion letter opining that the shares are eligible to have the legend removed pursuant to Rule 144 or otherwise.
m. The Company fails to prepare and file with the Commission a registration statement on Form S-1 within 30 days from the Effective Date to cover the Common Stock underlying the Note and Warrants granted hereto, or the Form S-1 fails be effective within 45 days from the filing date of the Registration Statement.
14. REMEDIES. (i) There will be no cure period available for the Event of Default as defined in Section 13(d), 13(e) and 13(m); or (ii) upon the occurrence of any other Event of Default as defined above, and provided such Event of Default has not been cured by the Company within ten (10) business days after written notice of the occurrence of such Event of Default, the principal and any accrued interest of the Note will be due immediately, and Lender shall have all of the rights and remedies provided by applicable law and equity. In the event of a default under Section 3(m), the sole penalty shall be the 2% penalty provided for in Section 10 hereof and as provided in the Note. To the extent permitted by law, Company waives any rights to presentment, demand, protest, or notice of any kind in connection with this Agreement, any Warrant and/or any Note. No failure or delay on the part of Lender in exercising any right, power, or privilege hereunder or thereunder will preclude any other or further exercise thereof or the exercise of any other right, power, or privilege. The rights and remedies provided herein are cumulative and not exclusive of any other rights or remedies provided at law or in equity. In the event Lender shall refer this Agreement to an attorney to enforce the terms hereof, the Company agrees to pay all the costs and expenses incurred in attempting or effecting the enforcement of the Lender’s rights, including reasonable attorney's fees, whether or not suit is instituted.

Subject to compliance with the legend set forth on the face of this Warrant, the Company shall register the transfer of this Warrant, or any portion of this Warrant, in the Warrant Register, upon delivery by the Warrant Holder to the Company, pursuant to Section 11 of (i) this Warrant, and (ii) a duly completed and executed written assignment. Upon any such registration or transfer, a new warrant to purchase Common Stock, in substantially the form of this Warrant (any such new warrant, a “New Warrant”), evidencing the portion of this Warrant so transferred shall be issued to the transferee and a New Warrant evidencing the remaining portion of this Warrant not so transferred, if any, shall be issued to the transferring Warrant Holder. The acceptance of the New Warrant by the transferee thereof shall be deemed the acceptance of such transferee of all of the rights and obligations of a Warrant Holder of a Warrant.
b. This Warrant is exchangeable, upon the surrender hereof by the Warrant Holder to the office of the Company specified in or pursuant to Section 11 for one or more New Warrants, evidencing in the aggregate the right to purchase the number of Warrant Shares which may then be purchased hereunder. Any such New Warrant will be dated the date of such exchange, and will have the same Expiration Date as the original Warrant for which the New Warrant was exchanged.
5. | Exercise of Warrants. |
a. Exercise of this Warrant shall be made upon delivery to the Company pursuant to Section 11, of (i) this Warrant; (ii) a duly completed and executed election notice, in the form attached hereto (the “Election Notice”) and (iii) payment of the Exercise Price. Payment of the Exercise Price may be made at the option of the Warrant Holder either (a) in cash, wire transfer or by certified or official bank check payable to the order of the Company equal to Exercise Price per share in effect at the time of exercise multiplied by the number of Warrant Shares specified in the Election Notice, or (b) through a cashless exercise as provided in Section 5(b) below. The Company shall promptly (but in no event later than three (3) business days after the “Date of Exercise,” as defined herein) issue or cause to be issued and cause to be delivered to the Warrant Holder in such name or names as the Warrant Holder may designate in the Election Notice, a certificate for the Warrant Shares issuable upon such exercise, with such restrictive legend as required by the 1933 Act, as applicable. Any person so designated by the Warrant Holder to receive Warrant Shares shall be deemed to have become holder of record of such Warrant Shares as of the Date of Exercise of this Warrant. All Warrant Shares delivered to the Warrant Holder the Company covenants, shall upon due exercise of this Warrant, be duly authorized, validly issued, fully paid and non-assessable.
b. If the closing price per share of the Common Stock (as quoted by the Nasdaq Capital Market or other principal trading market, if applicable) reported on the day immediately preceding the Date of Exercise (the “Fair Market Value”) of one share of Common Stock is greater than the Exercise Price of one Warrant Share (at the date of calculation as set forth below), in lieu of exercising this Warrant for cash, the Warrant Holder may elect to receive that number of Warrant Shares computed using the following formula:
X=Y (A-B)
A
Where X= the number of shares of Common Stock to be issued to the Warrant Holder
Y= the number of shares of Warrant Shares purchasable under this Warrant or, if only a portion of this Warrant is being exercised, the portion of this Warrant being exercised (at the date of such calculation)
A= Fair Market Value
B= Exercise Price (as adjusted to the date of such calculation)
For purposes of Rule 144 promulgated under the 1933 Act, it is intended, understood and acknowledged that the Warrant Shares issued in a cashless exercise transaction in the manner described above shall be deemed to have been acquired by the Warrant Holder, and the holding period for the Warrant Shares shall be deemed to have commenced, on the date this Warrant was originally issued. This cashless exercise provision shall not be available to the Warrant Holder if there is an effective registration statement on file with the SEC covering the shares underlying the Warrants and such registration statement stays effective.
c. A “Date of Exercise” means the date on which the Company shall have received (i) this Warrant (or any New Warrant, as applicable), (ii) the Election Notice (or attached to such New Warrant) appropriately completed and duly signed, and (iii) payment of the Exercise Price (if this Warrant is exercised on a cash basis) for the number of Warrant Shares so indicated by the Warrant Holder to be purchased.
d. This Warrant shall be exercisable at any time and from time to time for such number of Warrant Shares as is indicated in the attached Form of Election to Purchase. If less than all of the Warrant Shares which may be purchased under this Warrant are exercised at any time, the Company shall issue or cause to be issued, at its expense, a New Warrant evidencing the right to purchase the remaining number of Warrant Shares for which no exercise has been evidenced by this Warrant.
e. Notwithstanding any other provision of this Warrant, the Warrant Holder may not exercise this Warrant if such exercise would cause Warrant Holder’s beneficial ownership (as defined by Section 13(d) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended) of the Common Stock of the Company to exceed 4.9% of its total issued and outstanding Common Stock or voting shares. Upon not less than sixty-one (61) days advance written notice, at any time or from time to time, the Warrant Holder at its sole discretion, may waive this provision of this Warrant.
f. Notwithstanding any other provision of this Warrant, the Warrant Holder may not exercise this Warrant if such exercise would cause Warrant Holder’s beneficial ownership (as defined by Section 13(d) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended) of the Common Stock of the Company to exceed 9.9% of its total issued and outstanding Common Stock or voting shares.
6. Common Share Issuance. Upon receipt by the Company of a written request from Warrant Holder to exercise any portion of any Warrant, subject to any limitations on exercise contained in any Warrant, the Company shall have three (3) business days (“Delivery Date”) to request issuance of the shares of Common Stock rightfully listed in such request. If the Company fails to timely deliver the shares, the Company shall pay to Warrant Holder in immediately available funds $1,000.00 per day past the Delivery Date that the shares are actually issued. Any amounts due under this Section shall be paid by the fifth (5th) day of the month following the month in which they accrued. The Company agrees that the right to exercise its Warrants is a valuable right to Warrant Holder and a material consideration of it entering this Agreement. The parties agree that it would be impracticable and extremely difficult to ascertain the amount of actual damages caused by a failure of the Company to timely deliver shares as required hereby. Therefore, the parties agree that the foregoing liquidated damages provision represents reasonable compensation for the loss which would be incurred by the Warrant Holder due to any such breach. The parties agree that this Section is not intended to in any way limit Warrant Holder’s right to pursue other remedies, including actual damages and/or equitable relief.
7. Adjustment of Exercise Price and Number of Shares. The character of the shares of stock or other securities at the time issuable upon exercise of this Warrant and the Exercise Price therefor, are subject to adjustment upon the occurrence of the following events:
a. Adjustment for Reorganization, Consolidation, Merger, Etc. In case of any consolidation or merger of the Company with or into any other corporation, entity or person, or any other corporate reorganization, in which the Company shall not be the continuing or surviving entity of such consolidation, merger or reorganization (any such transaction being hereinafter referred to as a “Reorganization”), then, in each case, the Holder of this Warrant, on exercise hereof at any time after the consummation or effective date of such Reorganization (the “Effective Date”), shall receive, in lieu of the shares of stock or other securities at any time issuable upon the exercise of the Warrant issuable on such exercise prior to the Effective Date, the stock and other securities and property (including cash) to which such Holder would have been entitled upon the Effective Date if such holder had exercised this Warrant immediately prior thereto (all subject to further adjustment as provided in this Warrant). The Company shall ensure that the surviving entity in any Reorganization specifically assumes the Company’s obligations under this Warrant.
b. Exercise Price Adjustment. If at any time the Company grants, issues or sells any Common Stock, options to purchase Common Stock, securities convertible into Common Stock or rights relating to Common Stock (the “Purchase Rights”) to any person, entity, association, or other organization other than the Holder, at a price per share less than the Exercise Price, then the Exercise Price hereof shall be proportionately reduced to match the price per share of the Purchase Rights. For purposes of clarification, if the exercise price of the Warrant Shares is $6.00, and if the Company sells Common Stock at $5.00 per share at any time after the date hereof, then the Exercise Price of Holder’s Warrant Shares would be adjusted to $5.00. Notwithstanding, the Exercise Price may not exceed $6.00 per share in any case. This Section shall not apply to an Exempt Issuance as defined in the Loan agreement.
c. Adjustments for Stock Dividends; Combinations, Etc. In case the Company shall do any of the following (an “Event”):
(i) declare a dividend or other distribution on its Common Stock payable in Common Stock of the Company,
(ii) subdivide the outstanding Common Stock pursuant to a stock split or otherwise, or
(iii) reclassify its Common Stock,
then the number of shares of Common Stock or other securities at the time issuable upon exercise of this Warrant shall be appropriately adjusted to reflect any such Event.
d. Certificate as to Adjustments. In case of any adjustment or readjustment in the price or kind of securities issuable on the exercise of this Warrant, the Company will promptly give written notice thereof to the holder of this Warrant in the form of a certificate, certified and confirmed by the Board of Directors of the Company, setting forth such adjustment or readjustment and showing in reasonable detail the facts upon which such adjustment or readjustment is based.
8. Registration Rights. This Warrant will have registration rights. The Company shall prepare and file with the United States Securities and Exchange Commission (the “Commission”) a registration statement on Form S-1 (the “Form S-1” or “Registration Statement”) within 30 days from the Issue Date to cover the Common Stock underlying the Warrants Exercise. The Form S-1 must be effective within 45 days from the filing date. There shall be monthly liquidated damages as set forth in the Loan Agreement (the “Liquidated Damage Penalty”) if the Registration Statement is not filed within 30 days from the Issue Date and / or declared effective within 45 days from the filing date of the Registration Statement, which damages shall accrue each month until the applicable breach (failure to timely file, failure to timely have declared effective, or both) has been cured. The parties acknowledge and agree that damages which will result to Holder for Company’s failure to timely file or have declared effective the Registration Statement shall be extremely difficult or impossible to establish or prove, and agree that the payment of the Liquidated Damage Penalty is a reasonable estimate of potential damages and shall constitute liquidated damages for any breach of this paragraph. Any amounts due under this Section shall be paid by the fifth (5th) day of the month following the month in which they accrued. The legal fees associated with filing the Form S-1 shall be paid by Company.
If (i) the Registration Statement on Form S-1 is not filed with the Commission within 30 days from the Effective Date, (ii) the Registration Statement has not been declared effective by the Commission within 45 days from the filing date of the Registration Statement, or (iii) any registration statement required by this Agreement is filed and declared effective by the Commission but shall thereafter cease to be effective or fail to be usable for its intended purpose (each such event referred to as a “Registration Default”), the Company hereby agrees to pay to the Warrant Holder Liquidated Damage Penalty as set forth in this Section until the Form S-1 takes effective. Following the cure of all Registration Defaults relating to any particular registrable Securities, Liquidated Damages shall cease to accrue; provided, however, that, if after Liquidated Damages have ceased to accrue, a different Registration Default occurs, Liquidated Damages shall again accrue pursuant to the foregoing provisions. Any amounts due under this Section shall be paid by the fifth (5th) day of the month following the month in which they accrued.
9. Forced Exercise. If at any time after the Registration Statement registering the Common Stock underlying the Warrants with the Commission has gone effective, and is still effective, and the Company's Common Stock closes at a price of $12.00 per share or higher for a period of 30 consecutive trading days, then the Company shall have the option for thirty (30) days thereafter to elect to call the Warrant Holder’s unexercised Warrants at a price per Warrant equal to $0.10 per Warrant ; provided that, the Company must provide the Warrant Holder with written notice of its intent to redeem , and the Warrant Holder shall have thirty (30) days after receipt of such notice (the “Exercise Period”) to elect to exercise any such Warrants by providing the Company with an exercise notice and payment of the Exercise Price per the terms of the Warrant.
10. Fractional Shares. The Company shall not be required to issue or cause to be issued fractional Warrant Shares on the exercise of this Warrant. The number of full Warrant Shares that shall be issuable upon the exercise of this Warrant shall be computed on the basis of the aggregate number of Warrants Shares purchasable on exercise of this Warrant so presented. If any fraction of a Warrant Share would, except for the provisions of this Section 8, be issuable on the exercise of this Warrant, the Company shall, at its option, (i) pay an amount in cash equal to the Exercise Price multiplied by such fraction or (ii) round the number of Warrant Shares issuable, up to the next whole number.
11. Notice. All notices and other communications hereunder shall be in writing and shall be deemed to have been given (i) on the date they are (a) delivered if delivered in person or (b) sent, if sent by email; (ii) on the date initially received if delivered by facsimile transmission followed by registered or certified mail confirmation; (iii) on the date delivered by an overnight courier service; or (iv) on the third business day after it is mailed by registered or certified mail, return receipt requested with postage and other fees prepaid as follows:

2. | PAYMENT. All outstanding principal and accrued but unpaid interest and fees shall be due and payable six-months from the Effective Date (“Maturity Date”). Payment shall be made at Holder’s address at 7951 SW 6th Street, Suite 216, Plantation, FL 33324, or as otherwise directed by Holder. Notwithstanding the above, this Note is convertible to Common Stock at $6.00 per share or the Alternative Conversion Price if in default as set forth in Section 5(b). In the event that the Company consummates any kinds of financing of at least $5.0 million while the Note is outstanding (a “Qualified Financing”), the Company agrees to apply all proceeds from its Qualified Financing to repayment of this Note until it has been paid in full. |
3. | INTEREST. Interest shall accrue on the unpaid principal balance of this Note at the annual rate of Eight Percent (8%) until the entire Principal Amount is paid in full. Interest shall not be compounded and shall be computed on the basis of a three hundred sixty (360) day year comprised of twelve (12) months of thirty (30) days each, with any calculation based upon a partial month of less than thirty (30) days based on actual days lapsed. The Company will make interest payments quarterly, with the first interest payment due three (3) months from the Effective Date hereof and on each 3 months from such date until all interest and outstanding principal is paid in full. |
4. | PREPAYMENT. The Company may, at its option, at any time and from time to time, prepay all or any part of the principal balance of this Note before the Maturity Date, without any penalty; provided, that it shall provide Holder with fifteen (15) days’ advanced written notice of its intent to prepay this Note. Holder shall have the option to elect to convert this Note per the terms of this Note and the Loan Agreement at any time prior to the Company’s prepayment. Any partial prepayments would be applied to accrued interest balance first, then fees and then principal. |
5. | CONVERSION. |
a) | Upon advance written notice (“Conversion Notice”), at any time or from time to time, the Holder at its sole option, may convert the outstanding Principal Amount of this Note, or any portion of the Principal Amount hereof, and any accrued interest, in whole or in part, into shares of the common stock of the Company (the “Common Stock”). Any amount so converted under this Note will be converted into common stock of the Company at $6.00 per share (“Conversion Price”), which will be adjusted to Alternative Conversion Price if any event of default occurs. |
b) | Alternative Conversion Price should be $5.00 per share but it shall only be applicable if the Company is in default on the Note. |
c) | Conversion Limitation. Notwithstanding any other provision of this Note, the Holder may not convert this Note if such conversion would cause Holder’s beneficial ownership (as defined by Section 13(d) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended) of the Company to exceed 4.9% of its total issued and outstanding common or voting shares. Upon not less than sixty-one (61) days advance written notice, at any time or from time to time, the Holder at its sole discretion, may waive this 4.9% conversion limit. However, under any circumstance, the Holder may not convert this Note if such conversion would cause Holder’s beneficial ownership (as defined by Section 13(d) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended) of the Company to exceed 9.9% of its total issued and outstanding common or voting shares. Any common shares converted under this Note need to be delivered to the Holder within three (3) business days of the receipt of Conversion Notice. |
d) | Authorized and Reserved Shares. The Company covenants that at all times until the Note is satisfied in full, the Company will reserve from its authorized and unissued Common Stock a sufficient number of shares, free from preemptive rights, to provide for the issuance of a number of shares of Common issuable upon the full conversion of this Note (assuming no payment of Principal Amount or interest) as of any issue date (taking into consideration any adjustments to the conversion price) multiplied by (ii) two (2) (the “Reserved Amount”). The initial Reserved Amount as of the Issue Date shall be 1,000,000. In the event that the Company shall be unable to reserve the entirety of the Reserved Amount (the “Reserve Amount Failure”), the Company shall promptly take all actions necessary to increase its authorized share capital to accommodate the Reserved Amount (the “Authorized Share Increase”), including without limitation, all board of directors actions and approvals and promptly (but no less than 60 days following the calling and holding a special meeting of its shareholders no more than 60 days following the Reserve Amount Failure to seek approval of the Authorized Share Increase via the solicitation of proxies. The Company represents that upon issuance, the conversion shares will be duly and validly issued, fully paid and non-assessable. The Company (i) acknowledges that it has irrevocably instructed its transfer agent to issue certificates for the conversion shares or instructions to have the conversion shares issued as contemplated by this Note, and (ii) agrees that its issuance of this Note shall constitute full authority to its officers and agents who are charged with the duty of executing stock certificates or cause the Company to electronically issue shares of Common Stock to execute and issue the necessary certificates for the conversion shares or cause the conversion shares to be issued as contemplated in accordance with the terms and conditions of this Note. |
6. | CONVERSION COST. The Company agrees to reimburse the Holder’s certificate processing cost by adding $1,500 to the Principal for each note conversion of at least $150,000 effected by Holder. If the conversion is for less than that amount, the Holder shall be responsible for any costs. |
7. | COMMON SHARE ISSUANCE. Upon receipt by the Company of a written request from Holder to convert any amount due under any Note, subject to any limitations on conversion contained in any Note, the Company shall have three (3) business days (“Delivery Date”) to issue the shares of Common Stock rightfully listed in such request. If the Company fails to timely deliver the shares, the Company shall pay to Holder in immediately available funds $1,000 per day past the Delivery Date that the shares are actually issued. Any amounts due under this Section shall be paid by the fifth (5th) day of the month following the month in which they accrued or, at the option of Holder, may be added to the principal under any Note. The Company agrees that the right to convert the Notes is a valuable right to Holder and a material consideration of it entering this Note and the Loan Agreement. The parties agree that it would be impracticable and extremely difficult to ascertain the amount of actual damages caused by a failure of the Company to timely deliver shares as required hereby. Therefore, the parties agree that the foregoing liquidated damages provision represents reasonable compensation for the loss which would be incurred by the Holder due to any such breach. The parties agree that this Section is not intended to in any way limit Holder’s right to pursue other remedies, including actual damages and/or equitable relief. |
8. | ADJUSTMENTS. |
a) | In case the Company shall at any time prior to the conversion of the Note, or the maturity of the Note, whichever occurs later, effect a recapitalization or reclassification of such character that its Common Stock shall be changed into or become exchangeable for a larger number of shares, then the Conversion Price shall be appropriately adjusted to reflect any such event. |
9. | REGISTRATION RIGHTS. |
This Note will have registration rights. The Company shall prepare and file with the United States Securities and Exchange Commission (the “Commission” or “SEC”) a registration statement on Form S-1 (the “Form S-1” or “Registration Statement”) within 30 days from the Effective Date to cover two times the Common Stock underlying the Note conversion based on the Alternative Conversion Price. The Form S-1 must be effective within 45 days from the filing date. There shall be monthly liquidated damages equal to 2% of the Principal Amount (the “Liquidated Damage Penalty”) if the Registration Statement is not filed within 30 days from the Effective Date and / or declared effective within 45 days from the filing date of the Form S-1, which damages shall accrue each month until the applicable breach (failure to timely file, failure to timely have declared effective, or both) has been cured.The maximum penalty under this Section 9 shall be 10% if a Rule 144 resale exemption on the shares underlying the Note is available and continues to be available while the Note has an any outstanding balances. The parties acknowledge and agree that damages which will result to Holder for Company’s failure to timely file or have declared effective the Registration Statement shall be extremely difficult or impossible to establish or prove, and agree that the payment of Liquidated Damage Penalty is a reasonable estimate of potential damages and shall constitute liquidated damages for any breach of this paragraph. Any amounts due under this Section shall be paid by the fifth (5th) day of the month following the month in which they accrued or, at the option of Holder, added to the principal of this Note. The legal fees associated with filing the Form S-1 shall be paid by Company.
If (i) the Registration Statement on Form S-1 is not filed with the Commission within 30 days from the Effective Date, (ii) the Registration Statement has not been declared effective by the Commission within 45 days from the filing date of the Registration Statement, or (iii) any registration statement required by this Agreement is filed and declared effective by the Commission but shall thereafter cease to be effective or fail to be usable for its intended purpose (each such event referred to as a “Registration Default”), the Company hereby agrees to pay to the Holder Liquidated Damage Penalty as set forth in Section 9 until the Form S-1 takes effective. Following the cure of all Registration Defaults relating to any particular registrable Securities, Liquidated Damages shall cease to accrue; provided, however, that, if after Liquidated Damages have ceased to accrue, a different Registration Default occurs, Liquidated Damages shall again accrue pursuant to the foregoing provisions.
