Recitals

WHEREAS, the Borrower and Lender previously entered into that certain Secured Convertible Promissory Note, dated as of July 12, 2024 (the “Prior Secured Note”), pursuant to which the Lender extended secured loans in a series of draws to the Borrower in the aggregate principal amount of $2,300,000 (collectively, the “Prior Secured Loan”); and

WHEREAS, the Borrower requires additional liquidity to fund day-to-day working capital needs and for general corporate purposes; and

WHEREAS, the Borrower has requested that the Lender extend additional secured loans to fund such needs and requirements, and the Lender has agreed to provide additional secured, convertible financing in two tranches in accordance with the provisions of this Secured Note;

NOW, THEREFORE, for valuable consideration, the receipt and sufficiency of which are hereby acknowledged, the Borrower and Lender agree as follows:

1.         Principal Amount of Note. The principal amount of the loans committed by Lender to be extended pursuant to this Secured Note is $3,000,000 (the “Total Commitment Amount”), which shall be made available to the Borrower in two tranches, subject to the prior satisfaction of all conditions to borrowing in this Secured Note, as follows: (a) $2,000,000 of the Total Commitment Amount within one (1) Business Day (as defined below) of the execution of this Secured Note (the “First Loan”, and (b) on or after December 22, 2024, the Borrower may borrow up to an additional $1,000,000 of the Total Commitment Amount (the “Second Loan”, together the “Loans”; each date on which the Borrower borrows a Loan (i.e., receives Loan funds), a “Borrowing Date”). Any amounts repaid may not be re-borrowed. The Borrowing Notice for the Second Loan must provide that the Second Loan be funded before February 14, 2025, (the “Outside Date”), or the commitment of the Lender to extend the Second Loan shall terminate.

2.         Interest. (a) Interest shall accrue on the outstanding principal amount of the Loans once made at a rate of fifteen percent (15%) per annum based on a 360-day year and shall be added to the principal amount of the Secured Loan and paid on the Maturity Date (as defined below).

(b) In the event of an Event of Default (as defined below), default interest shall accrue on the outstanding principal amount of the Secured Note at 2% per annum above the non-default rate set forth above (“Default Interest”) and be payable on demand in cash. (c) At the option of the Lender, all accrued but unpaid interest, whether at the non-default or default rate, shall be paid by the Borrower to Lender in common shares of the Borrower (“Common Stock”) in accordance with Section 13(a). (d) In the event the Lender fails to fund the Second Loan in accordance with the Second Loan Borrowing Notice, the interest rate on the Second Loan (if funded) shall thereafter be reduced to a rate of five percent (5%) per annum.

3.         Amortization. The Borrower shall repay the principal amount of the Loans on October 24, 2025 (the “Maturity Date”), unless extended by the Lender in its sole and absolute discretion.

4.        Use of Proceeds. The Loans shall be used solely for the following purposes: (a) funding day-to-day working capital needs in the ordinary course of business, consistent with the Borrower’s practices prior to the date hereof; and (b) for general corporate purposes in the ordinary course of business, consistent with the Borrower’s practices prior to the date hereof. Without the prior written consent of the Lender, the Borrower shall not use the Loans for any other purposes, including, without limitation, to (i) purchase the assets, outside the ordinary course of business, or equity of any other person or entity, (ii) extend financing to any person or entity, (iii) fund any capital expenditures in excess of $100,000, (iv) repay any debts or obligations existing as of the date hereof other than in the ordinary course of business, and (v) invest in any person, entity or enterprise.

5.        Maturity Date. Unless paid or converted earlier as provided herein, and subject to Sections 2(b) and (c), all amounts due and payable under this Secured Note, including all outstanding principal, accrued interest, fees and costs (collectively, the “Obligations”), shall be due and payable in full and in cash on the Maturity Date, unless extended by the Lender in its sole and absolute discretion. All payments received shall be applied first against costs of collection (if any), then against accrued and unpaid (or unconverted) interest on this Secured Note and then against the outstanding principal balance, if any, of this Secured Note.

6.         Voluntary Prepayments. The Borrower shall have the right to repay all, but not less than all, Obligations outstanding under this Secured Note in full, in cash (subject to clause (b) of this paragraph), at any time prior to the Maturity Date subject to: (a) the Borrower paying the Lender a prepayment fee equal to ten percent (10%) of the outstanding Obligations due under this Secured Note on the date of the payment (the “Prepayment Fee”), or (b) if Lender elects within five (5) days of the Borrower’s notice of its intention to prepay under this provision, conversion of some or all of the outstanding Obligations into Common Stock in accordance with the terms of Section 13 of this Secured Note and the payment of cash in accordance with clause (a) of this paragraph of any balance of the value of the outstanding Obligations remaining after the conversion elected by the Lender. Any prepayments that do not include the Prepayment Fee shall be void.

7.         Mandatory Repayments. Unless otherwise elected by the Lender under Section 13, the Borrower shall repay all, but not less than all, Obligations outstanding under this Secured Note in cash in the event of any of the following: (a) a merger or consolidation in which the Borrower is a constituent party and the Borrower issues shares of its capital stock pursuant to such merger or consolidation, (b) the sale, lease, transfer, exclusive license or other disposition (whether by merger, consolidation or otherwise), in a single transaction or series of related transactions, by the Borrower of all or a material portion of the assets of the Borrower, (c) the liquidation, dissolution or winding up of the Borrower or any of its subsidiaries, whether voluntary or involuntary, in or out of a court process (the occurrence of any of the events set forth in clauses (a) - (c), each, a “Liquidity Event”), (d) any change in the ownership of the Borrower occurs where any person or entity, directly or indirectly, becomes the beneficial owner of more than fifty percent (50%) of the voting shares of the Borrower (or obtains the rights to acquire such shares), a majority of the members of the board of directors in existence on the date hereof shall be replaced with other members, or management of the Borrower declares that a change of control has occurred, irrespective of any occurrences described above (a “Change of Control”), or (e) the occurrence of a Bankruptcy Event (as defined below).

10.        Priority of Security Interest. The Borrower represents, warrants, and covenants that the security interest granted herein is and shall at all times continue to be a first priority fully perfected security interest in the Collateral, pari passu with the Borrower’s other secured indebtedness to the Lender (subject only to the Lender and/or the Borrower taking whatever actions are required under applicable law to perfect and maintain such security interest); provided, however, that, unless otherwise agreed to by the Borrower, in the event the Lender fails to timely fund the Second Loan, the Lender’s security interest and lien under this Note on the Collateral as described in Section 9 above shall immediately terminate and be deemed released by the Lender, and the restrictions on the Company in Sections 4 and 8(f) of the Note shall likewise terminate; provided further, however, that the security interest and lien on the Collateral as described in Section 9 above shall be granted again in the event that the Lender remedies such failure by funding the Second Loan upon request of the Borrower on or before the Outside Date.

11.        Warrants. Borrower agrees to issue to the Lender within five (5) days of a Borrowing Date warrants for the purchase of additional shares of Common Stock in the amount of one times the number of shares of Common Stock which would be issued on conversion (inclusive of all interest) at maturity of the Loan funds corresponding to such Borrowing Date. Such warrants related to the Total Commitment Amount of $3,000,000 shall have an exercise price equal to the lower of (i) the most recent closing price of the Borrower’s Common Stock as reported on Nasdaq as of the date of the execution of this Agreement or (ii) the five (5) day average closing price of the Borrower’s Common Stock as reported on Nasdaq for the five (5) trading days immediately preceding the date of execution of this Agreement. The warrants shall have a term of five (5) years from the date of issuance and will be exercisable by Lender at any time, subject to the restrictions in Section 13. The form of warrant shall be based upon the form of warrant entered into by Borrower in connection with the SPA (as defined below) and filed by Borrower with the SEC (as defined below) and otherwise in form and substance reasonably acceptable to the Lender and Borrower.). Provided, however, that, unless otherwise agreed to by the Borrower, in the event the Lender fails to timely fund the Second Loan, the Lender may not exercise the portion of the warrants issued to Lender under this Secured Note corresponding to the amount of the Second Loan, unless the Lender remedies such failure by funding the Second Loan upon request of the Borrower on or before the Outside Date.

12.        Authorization to File Financing Statements. The Borrower hereby authorizes the Lender to file financing statements and all other instruments, without notice to the Borrower or any further approvals or signatures of the Borrower, with all appropriate jurisdictions and agencies to perfect or protect the Lender’s lien, interest, and rights under this Secured Note. Such financing statements and other instruments may specify the Collateral as “all assets of the Debtor” or words of similar effect, or as being of an equal or lesser scope, or with greater detail, all in the Lender’s discretion.

13.Conversion.

(a)         Optional Conversion. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, in lieu of making cash payments of principal and accrued interest due to the Lender pursuant to the terms of this Secured Note, for the Total Commitment Amount, the Lender, in its sole discretion, may elect to convert some or all of the outstanding Obligations into that number of shares of Common Stock at a conversion price equal to the lower of (i) the most recent closing price of the Borrower’s Common Stock as reported on Nasdaq as of the date of execution of this Agreement or (ii) the five (5) day average closing price of the Borrower’s Common Stock as reported on Nasdaq for the five (5) trading days immediately preceding the date of execution of this Agreement (the “Conversion Price”).

(b)         Upon the occurrence of a Liquidity Event or Change in Control prior to the Maturity Date, the Lender shall immediately and automatically become entitled to receive the greater of either (i) payment of the same amount and type of consideration that Lender would have received if all of the outstanding Obligations automatically converted into Common Stock at the Conversion Price upon the occurrence of such Liquidity Event or Change of Control, or (ii) payment in full of the outstanding Obligations at that time.

(c)         In the event that the Borrower at any time after the date hereof effects a subdivision or split of its Common Stock into a greater number of shares of Common Stock or shall issue a stock dividend on the outstanding Common Stock, then the Conversion Price shall be proportionately decreased and the number of shares of Common Stock issuable upon conversion of this Secured Note shall be proportionately increased, effective as of the close of business on the date of such subdivision or split or the issuance of such dividend. In the event the Borrower at any time after the date hereof effects a combination or reverse stock split into a lesser number of shares of Common Stock, then in each such event the Conversion Price shall be proportionately increased and the number of shares of Common Stock issuable upon conversion of the Obligations shall be proportionately decreased, effective as of the close of business on the date of such combination or reverse stock split.

(d)         If at any time the number of shares of Common Stock issuable upon conversion of any Obligations shall not be sufficient to effect the conversion of such Obligations, the Borrower shall effect all such corporate action as is necessary to increase its authorized but unissued shares of Common Stock issuable upon conversion of any such Obligations as shall be sufficient for such purpose. In the event, for whatever reason, the Borrower is not able to, or does not, increase its authorized but unissued shares of Common Stock issuable upon conversion of any such Obligations as shall be sufficient for such purpose within thirty (30) days of the time of conversion, the Borrower shall pay all underlying Obligations in cash within one (1) Business Day thereafter.

(e)         The Lender is an “accredited investor” within the meaning of Rule 501 of Regulation D promulgated under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”). The Lender agrees to furnish any additional information requested by the Borrower or any of its affiliates to assure compliance with applicable U.S. federal and state securities laws in connection with the conversion of any Obligations.

(f)         The Lender understands that the Common Stock issuable upon conversion of any Obligations has not been, and may not be, registered under the Securities Act or state securities laws by reason of specific exemptions from the registration provisions thereof which depend on, among other things, the bona fide nature of the investment intent and the accuracy of the Lender’s representations as expressed herein. The Lender understands that any unregistered shares of Common Stock are “restricted securities” under U.S. federal and applicable state securities laws and that, pursuant to these laws, the Lender must hold such shares of Common Stock indefinitely unless they are registered with the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) and registered or qualified by state authorities, or an exemption from such registration and qualification requirements is available. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Borrower agrees that, within thirty (30) days of the expiration or satisfaction of the relevant equity sales provisions of the Securities Purchase Agreement dated as of September 15, 2024, between Borrower and a purchaser of certain Borrower’s securities (the “SPA”), Borrower will pursue in good faith, and submit to the SEC a registration statement covering the resale by Lender of the shares of Common Stock and Warrant Shares that Borrower receives or is entitled to receive under the terms of this Secured Note and the Prior Secured Note. Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, the Borrower shall not effect any conversion of this Secured Note or exercise any of the Warrants, and the Lender shall not be entitled to convert this Secured Note or exercise any of the Warrants, prior to six (6) months from the date that the registration statement on Form S-1 that has been filed by Borrower to register the resales of common shares underlying securities issued pursuant to the SPA is declared effective by the SEC. Borrower shall pursue such registration on the same basis as the registration being effected for a purchaser of certain Borrower’s securities under the SPA, and the Lender shall have the same rights and remedies as set forth in any agreement (including those filed with the SEC) with respect to registration entered into between Borrower and a purchaser of certain Borrower’s securities under the SPA, to the same extent as if such agreement and such rights and remedies were fully set forth herein.

(g)        The Lender shall not be entitled to convert any portion of this Secured Note or exercise of any portion of the Warrants if such exercise would require prior shareholder approval for the issuance of such shares pursuant to applicable Nasdaq rules and regulations; provided that Borrower will agree to use commercially reasonable efforts to obtain such approvals.

(h)         Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, the Borrower shall not effect any conversion of this Secured Note or exercise any of the Warrants, and the Lender shall not be entitled to convert this Secured Note or exercise any of the Warrants for a number of shares of Common Stock in excess of that number of shares of common stock which, upon giving effect or immediately prior to such conversion, would cause the aggregate number of shares of Common Stock beneficially owned by the Lender, any of its “affiliates” (as such term is defined in Rule 144 under the Securities Act) (“Affiliate”) and any natural persons or legal entities (each, a “Person”) who are members of a Section 13(d) group with the Lender or its Affiliates to exceed 9.99% (the “Ownership Limitation”) of the total number of issued and outstanding shares of Common Stock of the Borrower following such conversion or exercise. For purposes of this paragraph, beneficial ownership and whether a holder is a member of a Section 13(d) group shall be calculated and determined in accordance with Section 13(d) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”), and the rules promulgated thereunder. Upon the written request of the Lender, the Borrower shall within one (1) trading day confirm in writing or by electronic mail to the holder the number of shares of Common Stock then outstanding. By written notice to the Borrower, the Lender may, with agreement of the Borrower, from time to time increase or decrease the Ownership Limitation to any other percentage; provided that any such increase will not be effective until the sixty-first (61st) day after such notice is delivered to the Borrower, unless otherwise agreed by the Lender and Borrower. The provisions of this paragraph shall be construed and implemented in a manner otherwise than in strict conformity with the terms of this Section 13(h) to the extent necessary to correct this paragraph or any portion of this paragraph which may be defective or inconsistent with the intended beneficial ownership limitation contained in this Section 13(h) or to make changes or supplements necessary or desirable to properly give effect to such limitation.

14.        Events of Default. Upon the occurrence of any of the following events and subsequent provision by the Lender to the Borrower of written notice of such event and, unless otherwise specified below, a five (5) Business Day opportunity to cure (each, an “Event of Default”), the Lender may, at its option, by written notice to the Borrower declare all Obligations to be immediately due and payable in full:

(a)         The Borrower shall fail to pay any amounts due under this Secured Note or the Prior Secured Note in accordance with the provisions hereof or thereof;

(b)         The Borrower shall fail to comply with any of the covenants or other provisions of this Secured Note or the Prior Secured Note;

(c)         The incurrence by the Borrower of any secured indebtedness that is senior to or pari passu with the Obligations in contradiction to this Secured Note;

(d)         The Borrower shall fail to comply with any of the covenants or other provisions of with respect to registration of shares, including those incorporated into Section 13(f);

(e)         Any representation, warranty, or other statement made by the Borrower in this Secured Note shall prove to have been incorrect or misleading in any material respect when made (including on this date and any Borrowing Date) or deemed to have been made;

(f)         The commencement against the Borrower of a bankruptcy case or any other liquidation, receivership, monitorship or other proceeding under laws affecting the rights of debtors and creditors, or a receiver, liquidator, monitor, or other fiduciary or similar person or entity is appointed over the Borrower or any of the Collateral and, such case, proceeding or appointment continues for 30 days unless the Borrower earlier acquiesces in any such action taken against it, in which case, upon written notice from the Lender to the Borrower, the cure period shall be terminated;

(g)         The commencement by the Borrower of a bankruptcy case or any other liquidation proceeding under laws affecting the rights of debtors and creditors, assignment for the benefit of creditors, wind-down, or other in-court or out-of-court liquidation or similar process or proceeding (any such proceeding described in this Section 14(f) or in Section 14(e) above, a “Bankruptcy Event”); there shall be no cure period with respect to the occurrence of an Event of Default under this clause; and

As used in this Secured Note, “Business Day” means any day that is not a Saturday or Sunday or any day on which commercial banks in Delaware are required or permitted to be closed.

15.Remedies.

(a)         In addition to any other rights, remedies, or powers that the Lender may have under this Secured Note or pursuant to applicable law, and without limitation thereof, upon and at any time during the occurrence of any Event of Default, the Lender may, by written notice to Borrower, declare the Obligations to be immediately due and payable and may exercise some or all of its rights and remedies under this Secured Note or applicable law against the Borrower and/or the Collateral.

(b)         The rights, powers, and remedies of the Lender, as provided in this Secured Note and under applicable law, shall be cumulative and concurrent and may be pursued singularly, successively, or together, at the sole discretion of the Lender, and may be exercised as often as occasion therefor shall occur; and the failure to exercise or to continue to exercise any such right or remedy shall in no event be construed as a waiver or release thereof. Unless required by, and not waivable under, applicable law in any action, sale of collateral, or other proceedings to enforce this Secured Note, the Lender need not file or produce the original of this Secured Note but only need file or produce a photocopy of this Secured Note certified by the Lender to be a true and correct copy of this Secured Note.

16.        Rescission of Payments or Conversions to Common Stock. If at any time any payment made by the Borrower under this Secured Note, or any conversion of Obligations to Common Stock, is rescinded or must otherwise be restored or returned upon the insolvency, bankruptcy, liquidation, or reorganization of the Borrower or otherwise, the Borrower’s obligation shall be reinstated as though such payment had not been made and to the extent that this Secured Note has been terminated or deemed terminated, this Secured Note shall be revived and reinstated with respect thereto. The obligations of the Borrower under this Section shall survive the Maturity Date, the payment in full of the Obligations, or conversion to Common Stock, and the termination of this Secured Note.

17.          No Control, Joint Venture, or Partnership. In connection with this Secured Note, the Borrower is not providing to the Lender, and the Lender is not receiving, any power to “control” (as defined at 31 C.F.R. § 800.208) the Borrower or any rights, access, or involvement (as described in 31 C.F.R. § 800.211(b)) in the Borrower. Nothing in this Secured Note shall be interpreted or construed (a) to create an association, agency relationship, joint venture, or partnership among the parties or to impose any partnership obligation or liability upon either party or (b) to create any other relationship between the parties other than that of borrower and lender. In addition, nothing in this Secured Note shall be deemed to authorize or empower either party to act as agent for the other party, or to conduct business in the name, or for the account, of the other party.
