Preamble

 

A.The Borrower is organized in the form of a Swiss stock corporation (Aktiengesellschaft) registered with the commercial register of the Canton of Zurich under the number CHE-447.067.367.

 

B.The Lenders intend to support the continuation of the Borrower’s business activity by granting to the Borrower loans, subject to the terms and conditions of this Agreement.

 

C.Subject to the terms and conditions set forth in this Agreement and pursuant to Section 4(a)(2) of the Securities Act and Rule 506(b) of Regulation D and Rule 903 of Regulation S promulgated thereunder, the Borrower desires to issue and sell to each Lender, and each Lender, severally and not jointly, desires to purchase from the Borrower, securities of the Borrower as more fully described in this Agreement.

 

Based on the foregoing, the Parties agree as follows:

 

1.Definitions

 

Capitalized terms used in this Agreement shall have the meaning as set forth in Annex 1.

 

2.Loan

 

Subject to the terms and conditions of this Agreement, the Lenders hereby grant to the Borrower a loan (each a “Loan” and together the “Loans”) in the aggregate amount of up to USD 1’530’000.00 (the “Principal Amount”).

 

Each Lender grants a Loan with an amount as further specified in Annex A beside such Lenders’ name.

 

3.Lenders’ Rights and Obligations

 

The rights of each Lender under or in connection with the Agreement are separate and independent rights and any debt arising under the Agreement or in connection therewith to a Lender from the Borrower shall be a separate and independent debt. Each Lender may, except as otherwise provided in this Agreement, separately enforce its rights under the Agreement or in connection therewith, independent of any other Lender.

 

The same applies mutatis mutandis for the Warrants and the Warrant Shares as set forth in Section 10.

 

4.No Joint and several liability

 

No obligation entered into by the Lenders under this Agreement shall be construed as a joint and several liability of the Lenders and the Lenders explicitly waive any joint and several liability (Ausschluss der Solidarhaftung). Each Lender shall only be liable to contribute to the payment of its Loan in proportion as set forth in Section 2 above. No Lender will be liable for any obligation of another Lender. Each Lender shall accordingly be solely and independently responsible for its own obligations under this Agreement.

 

2

 

 

5.Coupon

 

A coupon shall apply on the Principal Amount at a coupon rate of 10% per annum and be calculated on the basis of the actual number of days elapsed and assuming a 365-day year, from and including the relevant value date of the Loan.

 

The coupon becomes due and payable (i) on the date of a Conversion or (ii) the date on which repayment is otherwise mandated under this Agreement, whichever occurs earlier.

 

6.Disbursements

 

Each Lender shall pay its Loan as further specified in Annex A beside such Lenders’ name on or before August 24, 2022 to the following bank account:

 

Bank:UBS Switzerland AG, 8098 Zurich, Switzerland

 

Account Name:NLS Pharmaceutics AG, 8058 Zurich, Switzerland

 

Account Number:0206 00196654.62 Y

 

IBAN:CH66 0020 6206 1966 5462 Y

 

BIC:UBSWCHZH80A

 

The Borrower will, within 5 days after receipt of the Loans, confirm to each Lender that the Loans have been credited on such bank account and that the Borrower owes the relevant amount of the Loans to each Lender.

 

7.Term and Repayment

 

Subject to Conversion (Section 8), the Loans granted hereunder are granted for a fixed period of time of 90 days following the date first written above on the cover page (i.e., November 17, 2022) (the “Maturity Date”).

 

Unless otherwise provided for in this Agreement, the Loan Balance shall become due and payable without further notice on the Maturity Date to the bank account provided by each Lender to the Borrower.

 

The individual Loan Balance of each Lender may not be repaid by the Borrower without the consent of the respective Lender.

 

8.Conversion

 

8.1Voluntary Conversion

 

The Loan Balance may be converted into Conversion Shares at the discretion of each respective Lender simultaneously with the next Qualified Equity Financing Round before the Maturity Date or immediately prior to a Change of Control before the Majority Date.

 

The number of Conversion Shares issuable upon such Conversion shall be determined by di-viding the Loan Balance of each respective Lender by the applicable Conversion Price.

 

No Lender has the right to exercise its conversion right at any time other than the events specified in this Section 8.1.

 

3

 

 

8.2General Provisions

 

Each Lender hereby undertakes to take all such actions as may be reasonably necessary or appropriate in order to implement the Conversion, in particular to subscribe for the respective number of Conversion Shares and to pay the relevant subscription price by setting off the relevant Loan Balance.

 

The Borrower shall procure, to the extent legally permissible, that the rights of the Lender under this Section 8 are fully honored. The Borrower shall accept each respective Lender as new shareholder of the Borrower with voting rights and will not claim any restriction on transferability of shares on the grounds of the articles of association of the Borrower (Statuten) or for any other reasons. The Borrower undertakes to disclose to each Lender all information necessary to ensure that such Lender can ascertain in due course the proper calculation of the Conversion Price. To the extent required for the implementation of the Conversion, the Borrower shall use best efforts to procure that the shareholders of the Borrower waive their subscription rights in order to allow for the respective Lender to become a shareholder of the Borrower according to the terms of this Agreement.

 

Each Lender understands and acknowledges that for the conversion of the Loan Balance thereon into shares of the Borrower, such share capital increase may not be authorized by the Borrower at that given time. However, the Borrower will take all reasonable measures in order to take such corporate actions and obtain all authorizations and consents necessary to authorize and issue such shares to ensure that the respective Lender can enforce their conversion right under this Agreement.

 

Each Lender and the Borrower agrees that once the respective Loan Balance has been converted as provided in this Section 8, all claims under this Agreement between the respective Lender and the Borrower shall be deemed to have been mutually settled, except for the claims in connection with the Warrant Coverage set forth in Section 10.

 

If the Borrower at any time or from time to time after the date of this Agreement effects a share split, subdivision or consolidation of Shares, the Conversion Price and/or other terms of the Conversion shall be adjusted so that the number of Conversion Shares will reflect such effects without detriment to each Lender.

 

9.Security

 

The Loan shall not be secured.

10.Warrant Coverage

 

10.1Granting of Warrants

 

The Borrower will grant on the date first written above to each Lender the right to purchase shares of the Borrower in form of options (such options referred to hereafter as the “Warrants”). The exact number of Warrants granted to each Lender by the Borrower shall be calculated in accordance with Annex 10.1a.

 

For the purpose of issuing the Warrants to the Lenders, the Borrower shall execute and deliver a warrant confirmation to each Lender in the form materially attached hereto in Annex 10.1b (“Warrant Confirmation”) within 5 Business Days following the date first written above.

 

10.2Exercise Period

 

After the execution of this Agreement each Lender has the right, but not the obligation, to exercise all of its Warrants (but not less than all) at any time prior to 24 months following the execution of this Agreement (“Exercise Period”).

 

The Warrants not exercised on or before 24 months following the execution of this Agreement will expire by the lapse of time and shall automatically be forfeited by the respective Lender and the Borrower shall have no further obligation with respect to such Warrants to the respective Lender.

 

Such shares granted to each Lender upon the voluntary exercise of the Warrants shall be referred to hereafter as the “Warrant Shares”.

 

10.3Exercise of Warrants

 

The Warrants shall be exercisable in whole (but not in part). If a Lender exercises its rights in relation to the Warrants in accordance with Section 10.2, the Warrants shall be exercisable by delivering to the Company a written notice, in the form set out in Annex 10.3 (“Exercise Notice”).

 

Each Lender shall pay to the bank account of the Company as provided by the Company (“Company Bank Account”) the Exercise Price multiplied by the number of Warrants (“Aggregate Exercise Price”) within 10 days following delivery of the Exercise Notice to the Company. Each Lender may not set-off the Exercise Price against any other claims it may have against the Company.

 

The corresponding number of Warrant Shares to be allotted upon the exercise of the Warrants shall be issued to each Lender as soon as reasonably possible out of the Company’s available authorized share capital or any other way at the full discretion of the Company.

 

11.Miscellaneous

 

11.1Most-Favoured Nation Clause

 

The Borrower shall not agree with any subsequent lender on loan terms that are more favorable for the respective lender than the ones agreed with the Lenders herein, unless such amendments are agreed in writing through a document duly signed by the affirmative vote of Lenders representing 2/3 of the outstanding Loans (with effect for all Lenders) and the Company.

 

11.2Confidentiality

 

The existence as well as the terms and conditions of this Agreement, and any information exchanged among the Parties during the due diligence and the negotiation of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement (collectively “Confidential Information”), shall be kept strictly confidential by each Party. The Parties shall neither use in any form nor disclose to any third party any Confidential Information unless explicitly authorized by this Agreement. The non-disclosure obligation shall not apply to any disclosure of Confidential Information required by law or regulations. Nothing herein shall restrict the Company from granting third parties customary due diligence access for purposes of financial, commercial, strategic or similar transactions based on appropriate non-disclosure and non-use agreements.

 

5

 

 

11.3Successors and Assigns

 

This Agreement shall be binding upon and shall inure to the benefit of the Parties and their respective permitted successors and assigns, provided, however, that neither Party shall be entitled to assign or transfer any of the rights or obligations hereunder to any other party.

 

11.4Notices

 

All notices and other communications made or to be made under this Agreement shall be given in writing or electronic form and be delivered by post, courier or email to the addresses indicated on the cover sheet or Annex A, unless otherwise notified by a Party.

 

11.5Entire Agreement

 

This Agreement constitutes the entire agreement among the Parties with respect to the subject matter hereof and supersedes any agreement or understanding with respect to the subject matter hereof that may have been concluded between the Borrower and the Lender prior to the date of this Agreement.

 

11.6Severability

 

If at any time any provision of this Agreement or any part thereof is or becomes invalid or unenforceable, then neither the validity nor the enforceability of the remaining provisions or the remaining part of the provision shall in any way be affected or impaired thereby. The Parties agree to replace the invalid or unenforceable provision or part thereof by a valid or enforceable provision, which shall best reflect the Parties’ original intention and shall to the extent possible achieve the same economic result.

 

11.7Amendments

 

The Parties acknowledge and agree that this Agreement may be amended by an instrument signed by all Parties.

 

11.8Disclaimer

 

The Lenders hereby acknowledge that the Borrower is not subject to oversight by the Swiss Financial Market Supervisory Authority FINMA and the Loan is not protected by the deposit protection rules pursuant to Art. 37h et seq. SBA.

 

11.9Form Requirements

 

This Agreement may be executed and amended in writing or in electronic form (such as Skribble, DocuSign or AdobeSign, or which contains an electronic scan of the signature) and be delivered by post, courier or email; the counterpart so executed and delivered shall be deemed to have been duly executed and validly delivered and be valid and effective for all purposes.

11.10Representations and Warranties.

 

11.10.1Lender Status

 

At the time such Lender was offered the securities, it was, and as of the date hereof it is, and on each date on which it exercises any Warrants, it will be a “non-US person” as defined in Regulation S (“Regulation S”) as promulgated under the Securities Act and/or an “accredited investor” as defined in Rule 501(a)(1), (a)(2), (a)(3), (a)(7) or (a)(8) under the Securities Act.

Such Lender, 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 the securities, and has so evaluated the merits and risks of such investment. Such Lender is able to bear the economic risk of an investment in the securities and, at the present time, is able to afford a complete loss of such investment.

Such Lender acknowledges that it has had the opportunity to review the transaction documents (including all annexes thereto) and the SEC Reports and has been afforded (i) the opportunity to ask such questions as it has deemed necessary of, and to receive answers from, representatives of the Company concerning the terms and conditions of the offering of the securities and the merits and risks of investing in the securities; (ii) access to information about the Company and its financial condition, results of operations, business, properties, management and prospects sufficient to enable it to evaluate its investment; and (iii) the opportunity to obtain such additional information that the Company possesses or can acquire without unreasonable effort or expense that is necessary to make an informed investment decision with respect to the investment. 

 

11.10.4Additional Representations and Warranties of Accredited Investors

 

Each Lender indicating that such Lender is an accredited investor on its signature page to this Agreement, severally and not jointly, shall complete the Accredited Investor Questionnaire set forth on Annex 11.10.4.

This Agreement shall in all respects be governed by and construed in accordance with Swiss law under the exclusion of its private international law provisions and international treaties.

The information contained herein is being furnished to the NLS Pharmaceutics Ltd. (or the “Company”) in order for the Company to determine whether the undersigned’s purchase of the Company’s common shares and warrants (the “Securities”) may be accepted pursuant to Section 4(a)(2) of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”) and/or Regulation D promulgated thereunder (“Regulation D”). The undersigned understands that (i) the Company will rely upon the following information for purposes of complying with Federal and applicable state securities laws, (ii) the Securities will not be registered under the Securities Act in reliance upon the exemption from registration provided by Section 4(a)(2) of the Securities Act and/or Regulation D, and (iii) this questionnaire is not an offer to sell nor the solicitation of an offer to buy any securities, or any other securities, to the undersigned.

 

Qualification as an Accredited Investor. Please check the categories applicable to you indicating the basis upon which you qualify as an Accredited Investor for purposes of the Securities Act and Regulation D thereunder.

 

Individual with Net Worth In Excess of $1.0 Million.  A natural person (not an entity) whose net worth, or joint net worth with his or her spouse, at the time of purchase exceeds $1,000,000. (Explanation: In calculating your net worth, you must exclude the value of your primary residence. This means you must exclude both the equity in your primary residence and any mortgage or other debt secured by your primary residence up to the fair market value of your primary residence; provided, however, that any indebtedness secured by your primary residence that (i) you have incurred in the 60 day period prior to the date of your subscription to the Company or (ii) is in excess of the fair market value of your primary residence should be considered a liability and deducted from your aggregate net worth. In calculating your net worth, you may include your equity in personal property and real estate (excluding your primary residence), cash, short-term investments, stock and securities.
