Item 1.01 Entry into a Material Definitive Agreement.

 

Exchange of Series G Preferred Stock for Promissory Notes

 

On June 11, 2026, Our Bond, Inc., a Nevada corporation (“we,” “us,” “our” or the “Company”) entered into an Exchange Agreement (the “Agreement”) with Ascent Partners Fund LLC (“Ascent”). Under the Agreement, we issued a total of 366,941 shares of our newly-designated Series G Convertible Preferred Stock (the “Series G Preferred Stock”) to Ascent in exchange for Promissory Notes owed to Ascent (collectively, the “Notes”) as follows: (1) a Note issued March 1, 2025 in the original principal amount of $2,500,00, with a current balance of $2,292,179.8, was exchanged for 254,687 shares of Series G Preferred Stock; and (2) a Note issued May 4, 2026 in the original principal amount of $1,000,000, with a current balance of $1,010,277.78, was exchanged for 112,254 shares of Series G Preferred Stock. Upon closing of the Agreement and issuance of the Series G Preferred Stock to Ascent, the Notes will be deemed paid in full. The Agreement, which is filed herewith as Exhibit 10.1, contains various representations, warranties, and covenants and should be reviewed in its entirety for additional information.

 

Each share of Series G Preferred Stock has a stated value of $10.00 per share and is convertible, at the option of the holder, to shares of our common stock at a price of $2.0265 per share of common stock. The Certificate of Designation for Series G Preferred Stock provides a limitation on conversion to the extent that the holder, together with its affiliates or any other person acting as a group, would beneficially own in excess of 9.99% of our outstanding common stock upon such conversion. The holders of Series G Preferred Stock are entitled to a monthly dividend at a an annual rate of 10% of the stated value, computed on the basis of 360-day year and twelve (12) 30-day months. The holders of Series G Preferred Stock have no voting rights, except as required by law and as expressly provided in the Certificate of Designation.

 

Upon the occurrence of a triggering event, as defined in the Certificate of Designation, each holder of Series G Preferred Stock has a right to redeem eligible shares of Series G Preferred Stock. In addition, at any time that no equity conditions failure exists (as defined in the Certificate of Designation), the Company has a right to redeem all, but not less than all, of the shares of Series G Preferred Stock then outstanding at a price equal to 110% of the stated value plus all accrued and unpaid dividends thereon. In the event of any liquidation, dissolution or winding up of the Company, or in the event of a change in control of the Company, assets or proceeds shall be preferentially distributed to the holders of Series G Preferred Stock in an amount per share equal to the greater of (i) 200% of stated value (as defined therein) or (ii) the amount the holder would receive if such holder converted such Series G Preferred Stock into common stock immediately prior to the date of such payment. On or after June 11, 2025, the holders of any then-outstanding shares of Series G Preferred Stock may, at their option, redeem their shares at the stated value thereof.

 

In the event that the Company grants, issues or sells any securities or rights to purchase securities, each holder is entitled to purchase such rights or securities on an as-converted to common stock basis. If the Company issues any new securities for a consideration per stock lower than the conversion price, the conversion price for the Series G Preferred Stock shall be readjusted to reflect the lower consideration paid for the new securities. Additionally, we are restricted from amending our articles of incorporation, bylaws or take any other action to avoid the observance or performance of any of the terms of the Certificate of Designation. We are required to reserve sufficient authorized and unissued Common Stock to give effect to conversion of all shares of Series G preferred Stock into Common Stock.

 

The holders of Series G Preferred Stock have “piggyback” registration rights. If the Company intends to prepare and file a registration statement relating to an offering of securities for its own account or the account of others, then the holders of Series G Preferred Stock are entitled to notice of the registration and have the right, subject to certain limitations, to include the shares of common stock issuable upon conversion their Series G preferred shares in the registration.

 

 

 

 

If so elected by the holders, we can be required to apply twenty-five percent (25%) of the net proceeds of all future offerings or issuances of our equity or debt securities toward redemption of the Series G Preferred Stock until such time as the cumulative total of all net proceeds received is equal to or less than $10,000,000, with up to thirty-five percent (35%) of such net proceeds to applied thereafter.

 

The Certificate of Designation for the Series G Preferred Stock, which is filed herewith as Exhibit 3.1, contains various additional terms and covenants and should be reviewed in its entirety for additional information.

 

Amendments to Certificates of Designation for Series C Convertible Preferred Stock and Series D Convertible Preferred Stock

 

On June 11, 2026, we also amended the Certificates of Designation for our Series C Preferred Stock and our Series D Preferred Stock to make their provisions regarding the holders’ right to require redemptions using the proceeds from subsequent Company financings consistent with the terms of the new Series G designation. Pursuant to these amendments, the holders of the Series C Preferred Stock and Series D Preferred Stock can elect to apply twenty-five percent (25%) of the net proceeds of all future offerings or issuances of our equity or debt securities toward redemption of the Preferred Stock until such time as the cumulative total of all net proceeds received is equal to or less than $10,000,000, with up to thirty-five percent (35%) of such net proceeds to applied thereafter.

 

Warrant Amendment

 

Also on June 11, 2026, we entered into an Amendment (the “Warrant Amendment”) to the common stock purchase warrants (the “Warrants”) held by Ascent. Under the Warrant Amendment, the exercise prices of the Warrants held by Ascent were adjusted. Following the Warrant Amendment, the exercise prices of the Warrants are as follows:

 

3,000,000 Warrants expiring February 27, 2027 have an exercise price of $1.25 per share;

 

1,500,000 Warrants expiring October 27, 2027 have an exercise price of $1.25 per share; and

 

4,500,000 Warrants expiring October 27, 2027 have an exercise price of $2.25 per share.

 

Amendment to Loan and Security Agreement

 

On June 11, 2026, we entered into a Waiver and Twenty-eighth Amendment to Loan and Security Agreement (the “Loan Amendment”) with our senior secured lender, Eastward Fund Management, LLC (the “Lender”). Under the Loan Amendment, the amortization and payment schedule for our senior secured debt was adjusted to call for reduced monthly payments of $50,000 each for July 1 and August 1, 2026; $100,000 each for September 1 and October 1, 2026; and $150,000 each for November 1 and December 1, 2026. Thereafter, monthly payments will continue in amounts ranging from approximately $259,000 to approximately $300,000 per month, with a final payment of approximately $3.9 million due on July 1, 2028. As additional consideration under the Loan Amendment, we agreed to issue 250,000 shares of our common stock to the Lender. The Loan Amendment, which is filed herewith as Exhibit 10.3, should be reviewed in its entirety for additional information.

 

Item 3.02 Unregistered Sales of Equity Securities

 

The disclosures in Item 1.01, above, are incorporated herein by reference. The shares of Series G Preferred Stock were issued to Ascent solely in exchange for the Notes in a transaction exempt from registration under Section 3(a)(9) of the Securities Act. No commission or other remuneration was paid or given, directly or indirectly, for soliciting such exchange. The issuance of shares of common stock to the Lender was exempt from registration pursuant to Rule 506(b) under Regulation D. The Lender is an accredited investor within the meaning of Rule 501 and we engaged in no general solicitation or advertising.

 

 

 

 

Item 5.02 Departure of Directors or Certain Officers; Election of Directors; Appointment of Certain Officers; Compensatory Arrangements of Certain Officers.

 

In light of increased growth opportunities and the above-mentioned financing changes, the Company has expanded and reorganized its commercial leadership resources in the United States and internationally and is transitioning its commercial organization to a matrix structure designed to better align sales, business development, strategic partnership and market expansion activities across its target channels.

 

All sales, business development, strategic partnership and commercial growth initiatives will continue to report directly to Doron Kempel, the Company’s Founder and Chief Executive Officer.

 

In connection with the organizational realignment, Michael Lambert has departed from his position as Head of Commercial Operations, effective June 12, 2026. The company thanks Mr. Lambert for his effort and contribution to US B2B sales in the past two years. The Company and Mr. Lambert worked cooperatively to ensure an orderly transition of responsibilities.

NEVADA REVISED STATUTES

 

I, Doron Kempel, hereby certify that I am the Chief Executive Officer of Our Bond, Inc. (the “Company”),

 

a corporation incorporated and existing under Chapter 78 of the Nevada Revised Statutes (the “NRS”) and further do hereby certify:

 

That pursuant to the authority expressly conferred upon the Board of Directors of the Company (the “Board”) by the Company’s Articles of Incorporation, as amended (the “Articles of Incorporation”), the Board on June 11, 2026 adopted the following resolutions creating a series of shares of preferred stock designated as Series G Convertible Preferred Stock, none of which shares have been issued:

 

RESOLVED, the number of shares constituting the Series G Convertible Preferred Stock and the rights, powers, preferences, privileges and restrictions relating to such series, in addition to any set forth in the Articles of Incorporation, are as follows:

 

TERMS OF SERIES G CONVERTIBLE PREFERRED STOCK

 

1. Designation and Number of Shares. There shall hereby be created and established a series of preferred stock of the Company designated as “Series G Convertible Preferred Stock” (the “Preferred Shares”). The authorized number of Preferred Shares shall be 366,941. Each Preferred Share shall have a par value of $0.0001. Capitalized terms not defined herein shall have the meaning as set forth in Section 33.

 

2. Ranking. Except to the extent that the holders of at least a majority of the outstanding Preferred Shares (the “Required Holders”) expressly consent to the creation of Parity Stock (as defined below) other than Senior Preferred Stock (as defined below) in accordance with Section 18, all shares of capital stock of the Company shall be junior in rank to all Preferred Shares with respect to the preferences as to dividends, distributions and payments upon the liquidation, dissolution and winding up of the Company (such junior stock is referred to herein collectively as “Junior Stock”). The rights of all such shares of capital stock of the Company shall be subject to the rights, powers, preferences and privileges of the Preferred Shares. Without limiting any other provision of this Certificate of Designations, without the prior express consent of the Required Holders, voting separate as a single class, the Company shall not hereafter authorize or issue any additional or other shares of capital stock that is (i) of senior rank to the Preferred Shares in respect of the preferences as to dividends, distributions and payments upon the liquidation, dissolution and winding up of the Company (collectively, the “Senior Preferred Stock”), (ii) of pari passu rank to the Preferred Shares in respect of the preferences as to dividends, distributions and payments upon the liquidation, dissolution and winding up of the Company (collectively, the “Parity Stock”) or (iii) any Junior Stock having a maturity date (or any other date requiring redemption or repayment of such shares of Junior Stock) that is prior to the Outside Date.

3. Dividends. From and after the first date of issuance of any Preferred Shares (the “Initial Issuance Date”), each holder of a Preferred Share (each, a “Holder” and collectively, the “Holders”) shall be entitled to receive dividends (“Dividends”), which Dividends shall be paid by the Company out of funds legally available therefor, payable, subject to the conditions and other terms hereof, at the Company’s option in shares of Common Stock at the Conversion Price when the Equity Conditions are met, or in cash on the Stated Value (as defined below) of such Preferred Share, at the Dividend Rate (as defined below), which shall be cumulative and shall continue to accrue and compound daily whether or not declared and whether or not in any fiscal year there shall be net profits or surplus available for the payment of dividends in such fiscal year. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if the VWAP of the shares of Common Stock is less than the Conversion Price on the Trading Day before such Dividend is paid, then the Company shall pay the Holder the difference between the VWAP and the Conversion Price per Preferred Share in cash on the day that such Dividend is paid. Dividends on the Preferred Shares shall commence accumulating on the Initial Issuance Date and shall be computed on the basis of a 360-day year and twelve 30-day months. Accrued and unpaid Dividends shall be payable on the third Trading Day of each calendar month and either (x) in cash on the Outside Date, or in cash on any applicable Redemption Date or upon any required payment upon any Bankruptcy Triggering Event or (y) with respect to such Dividends attributable to Preferred Shares subject to conversion hereunder, by way of inclusion of such Dividends in the Conversion Amount subject to conversion hereunder. From and after the occurrence and during the continuance of any Triggering Event, the Dividend Rate shall automatically be increased to twenty-four percent (24.0%) per annum. In the event that such Triggering Event is subsequently cured, the adjustment referred to in the preceding sentence shall cease to be effective as of the calendar day immediately following the date of such cure; provided, that the Dividends as calculated and unpaid at such increased rate during the continuance of such Triggering Event shall continue to apply to the extent relating to the days after the occurrence of such Triggering Event through and including the date of such cure of such Triggering Event.

 

4. Conversion. At any time after the Issuance Date, each Preferred Share shall be convertible into validly issued, fully paid and non-assessable shares of Common Stock (as defined below), on the terms and conditions set forth in this Section 4.

 

(a) Holder’s Conversion Right. Subject to the provisions of Section 4(d), at any time or times on or after the Issuance Date, each Holder shall be entitled to convert any portion of the outstanding Preferred Shares held by such Holder into validly issued, fully paid and non-assessable shares of Common Stock in accordance with Section 4(c) at the Conversion Rate (as defined below). The Company shall not issue any fraction of a share of Common Stock upon any conversion. If the issuance would result in the issuance of a fraction of a share of Common Stock, the Company shall round such fraction of a share of Common Stock up to the nearest whole share. The Company shall pay any and all transfer, stamp, issuance and similar taxes, costs and expenses (including, without limitation, fees and expenses of the Transfer Agent (as defined below)) that may be payable with respect to the issuance and delivery of Common Stock upon conversion of any Conversion Amount.

 

(b) Conversion Rate. The number of shares of Common Stock issuable upon conversion of any Preferred Share pursuant to Section 4(a) shall be determined by dividing (x) the Conversion Amount of such Preferred Share by (y) the Conversion Price (the “Conversion Rate”):

 

(i) “Conversion Amount” means, with respect to each Preferred Share, as of the applicable date of determination, the sum of (without duplication) (1) the Stated Value thereof, plus (2) the Additional Amount thereon, plus (3) any accrued and unpaid Late Charges with respect to such Stated Value and Additional Amount as of such date of determination.

 

(ii) “Conversion Price” means, with respect to each Preferred Share, as of any Conversion Date or other date of determination, $2.0265, subject to adjustment as provided herein.

 

(c) Mechanics of Conversion. The conversion of each Preferred Share shall be conducted in the following manner:

 

- 2 -

 

 

(i) Optional Conversion. To convert a Preferred Share into shares of Common Stock on any date (a “Conversion Date”), a Holder shall deliver (whether via facsimile or electronic mail), for receipt on or prior to 11:59 p.m., New York time, on such date, an electronic copy of an executed notice of conversion of the share(s) of Preferred Shares subject to such conversion in the form attached hereto as Exhibit I (the “Conversion Notice”) to the Company. If required by Section 4(c)(iii), within three (3) Trading Days following a conversion of any such Preferred Shares as aforesaid, such Holder, if such Holder is holding a physical certificate, shall surrender such certificate to a nationally recognized overnight delivery service for delivery to the Company the original certificates representing the Preferred Shares (the “Preferred Share Certificates”) so converted as aforesaid (or an indemnification undertaking with respect to the Preferred Shares in the case of its loss, theft or destruction as contemplated by Section 20). On or before the first (1st) Trading Day following the date of receipt of a Conversion Notice, the Company shall transmit by facsimile or electronic mail an acknowledgment of confirmation, in the form attached hereto as Exhibit II, of receipt of such Conversion Notice to such Holder and the Company’s transfer agent (the “Transfer Agent”), which confirmation shall constitute an instruction to the Transfer Agent to process such Conversion Notice in accordance with the terms herein. On or before the first (1st) Trading Day following the date of receipt of a Conversion Notice (or such earlier date as required pursuant to the 1934 Act or other applicable law, rule or regulation for the settlement of a trade initiated on the applicable Conversion Date of such shares of Common Stock issuable pursuant to such Conversion Notice) (the “Share Delivery Deadline”), the Company shall (1) provided that the Transfer Agent is participating in the Depository Trust Company (“DTC”) Fast Automated Securities Transfer Program, credit such aggregate number of shares of Common Stock to which such Holder shall be entitled to such Holder’s or its designee’s balance account with DTC through its Deposit/Withdrawal at Custodian system, or (2) if the Transfer Agent is not participating in the DTC Fast Automated Securities Transfer Program, issue and deliver (via reputable overnight courier) to the address as specified in such Conversion Notice, a certificate, registered in the name of such Holder or its designee, for the number of shares of Common Stock to which such Holder shall be entitled. If the number of Preferred Shares represented by the Preferred Share Certificate(s) submitted for conversion pursuant to Section 4(c)(iii) is greater than the number of Preferred Shares being converted, then the Company shall, as soon as practicable and in no event later than three (3) Trading Days after receipt of the Preferred Share Certificate(s) and at its own expense, issue and deliver to such Holder (or its designee) a new Preferred Share Certificate (in accordance with Section 20(d)) representing the number of Preferred Shares not converted. The Person or Persons entitled to receive the shares of Common Stock issuable upon a conversion of Preferred Shares shall be treated for all purposes as the record holder or holders of such shares of Common Stock on the Conversion Date.

 

(ii) Company’s Failure to Timely Convert. If the Company shall fail, for any reason or for no reason, to issue to a Holder on or prior to the applicable Share Delivery Deadline, a certificate for the number of shares of Common Stock to which such Holder is entitled and register such shares of Common Stock on the Company’s share register or to credit such Holder’s or its designee’s balance account with DTC for such number of shares of Common Stock to which such Holder is entitled upon such Holder’s conversion of any Preferred Shares (as the case may be) (a “Conversion Failure”), then, in addition to all other remedies available to such Holder, such Holder, upon written notice to the Company, (x) may void its Conversion Notice with respect to, and retain or have returned (as the case may be) any Preferred Shares that have not been converted pursuant to such Holder’s Conversion Notice, provided, that the voiding of a Conversion Notice shall not affect the Company’s obligations to make any payments which have accrued prior to the date of such notice pursuant to the terms of this Certificate of Designations or otherwise and (y) the Company shall pay in cash to such Holder on each day, up to a maximum of 10 Trading Days, after the Share Delivery Deadline that the issuance of such shares of Common Stock is not timely effected an amount equal to 2% of the product of (A) the aggregate number of shares of Common Stock not issued to such Holder on a timely basis and to which such Holder is entitled and (B) the Closing Sale Price of the Common Stock on the Trading Day immediately preceding the last possible date on which the Company could have issued such shares of Common Stock to such Holder without violating Section 4(c). In addition to the foregoing, if Company shall fail, for any reason or for no reason, to issue to a Holder on or prior to the Share Delivery Deadline, a certificate to such Holder and register such shares of Common Stock on the Company’s share register or credit such Holder’s or its designee’s balance account with DTC for the number of shares of Common Stock to which such Holder is entitled upon such Holder’s conversion hereunder (as the case may be), and if on or after such Share Delivery Deadline such Holder (or any other Person in respect, or on behalf, of such Holder) purchases (in an open market transaction or otherwise) shares of Common Stock to deliver in satisfaction of a sale by such Holder of all or any portion of the number of shares of Common Stock, or a sale of a number of shares of Common Stock equal to all or any portion of the number of shares of Common Stock, issuable upon such conversion that such Holder so anticipated receiving from the Company, then, in addition to all other remedies available to such Holder, the Company shall, within three (3) Business Days after receipt of such Holder’s request and in such Holder’s discretion, either: (I) pay cash to such Holder in an amount equal to such Holder’s total purchase price (including brokerage commissions and other out-of-pocket expenses, if any) for the shares of Common Stock so purchased (including, without limitation, by any other Person in respect, or on behalf, of such Holder) (the “Buy-In Price”), at which point the Company’s obligation to so issue and deliver such certificate or credit such Holder’s balance account with DTC for the number of shares of Common Stock to which such Holder is entitled upon such Holder’s conversion hereunder (as the case may be) (and to issue such shares of Common Stock) shall terminate, or (II) promptly honor its obligation to so issue and deliver to such Holder a certificate or certificates representing such shares of Common Stock or credit such Holder’s balance account with DTC for the number of shares of Common Stock to which such Holder is entitled upon such Holder’s conversion hereunder (as the case may be) and pay cash to such Holder in an amount equal to the excess (if any) of the Buy-In Price over the product of (x) such number of shares of Common Stock multiplied by (y) the lowest Closing Sale Price of the Common Stock on any Trading Day during the period commencing on the date of the applicable Conversion Notice and ending on the date of such issuance and payment under this clause (II).

(iii) Registration; Book-Entry. The Company shall maintain a register (the “Register”) for the recordation of the names and addresses of the Holders of each Preferred Share and the Stated Value of the Preferred Shares (the “Registered Preferred Shares”). The entries in the Register shall be conclusive and binding for all purposes absent manifest error. The Company and each Holder of the Preferred Shares shall treat each Person whose name is recorded in the Register as the owner of a Preferred Share for all purposes (including, without limitation, the right to receive payments and Dividends hereunder) notwithstanding notice to the contrary. A Registered Preferred Share may be assigned, transferred or sold only by registration of such assignment or sale on the Register. Upon its receipt of a written request to assign, transfer or sell one or more Registered Preferred Shares by such Holder thereof, the Company shall record the information contained therein in the Register and issue one or more new Registered Preferred Shares in the same aggregate Stated Value as the Stated Value of the surrendered Registered Preferred Shares to the designated assignee or transferee pursuant to Section 20, provided, that, if the Company does not so record an assignment, transfer or sale (as the case may be) of such Registered Preferred Shares within two (2) Business Days of such a request, then the Register shall be automatically deemed updated to reflect such assignment, transfer or sale (as the case may be). Notwithstanding anything to the contrary set forth in this Section 4, following conversion of any Preferred Shares in accordance with the terms hereof, the applicable Holder shall not be required to physically surrender such Preferred Shares to the Company unless (A) the full or remaining number of Preferred Shares represented by the applicable Preferred Share Certificate are being converted (in which event such certificate(s) shall be delivered to the Company as contemplated by this Section 4(c)(iii)) or (B) such Holder has provided the Company with prior written notice (which notice may be included in a Conversion Notice) requesting reissuance of Preferred Shares upon physical surrender of the applicable Preferred Share Certificate. Each Holder and the Company shall maintain records showing the Stated Value, Dividends and Late Charges converted and/or paid (as the case may be) and the dates of such conversions and/or payments (as the case may be) or shall use such other method, reasonably satisfactory to such Holder and the Company, so as not to require physical surrender of a Preferred Share Certificate upon conversion. If the Company does not update the Register to record such Stated Value, Dividends and Late Charges converted and/or paid (as the case may be and the dates of such conversions and/or payments (as the case may be) within two (2) Business Days of such occurrence, then the Register shall be automatically deemed updated to reflect such occurrence. In the event of any dispute or discrepancy, such records of such Holder establishing the number of Preferred Shares to which the record holder is entitled shall be controlling and determinative in the absence of manifest error. A Holder and any transferee or assignee, by acceptance of a certificate, acknowledge and agree that, by reason of the provisions of this paragraph, following conversion of any Preferred Shares, the number of Preferred Shares represented by such certificate may be less than the number of Preferred Shares stated on the face thereof. Each Preferred Share Certificate shall bear the following legend:

 

ANY TRANSFEREE OR ASSIGNEE OF THIS CERTIFICATE SHOULD CAREFULLY REVIEW THE TERMS OF THE CORPORATION’S CERTIFICATE OF DESIGNATIONS RELATING TO THE SHARES OF SERIES G CONVERTIBLE PREFERRED STOCK REPRESENTED BY THIS CERTIFICATE, INCLUDING SECTION 4(c)(iii) THEREOF. THE NUMBER OF SHARES OF SERIES G CONVERTIBLE PREFERRED STOCK REPRESENTED BY THIS CERTIFICATE MAY BE LESS THAN THE NUMBER OF SHARES OF SERIES G CONVERTIBLE PREFERRED STOCK STATED ON THE FACE HEREOF PURSUANT TO SECTION 4(c)(iii) OF THE CERTIFICATE OF DESIGNATIONS RELATING TO THE SHARES OF SERIES G CONVERTIBLE PREFERRED STOCK REPRESENTED BY THIS CERTIFICATE.

 

(iv) Pro Rata Conversion; Disputes. In the event that the Company receives a Conversion Notice from more than one Holder for the same Conversion Date and the Company can convert some, but not all, of such Preferred Shares submitted for conversion, the Company shall convert from each Holder electing to have Preferred Shares converted on such date a pro rata amount of such Holder’s Preferred Shares submitted for conversion on such date based on the number of Preferred Shares submitted for conversion on such date by such Holder relative to the aggregate number of Preferred Shares submitted for conversion on such date. In the event of a dispute as to the number of shares of Common Stock issuable to a Holder in connection with a conversion of Preferred Shares, the Company shall issue to such Holder the number of shares of Common Stock not in dispute and resolve such dispute in accordance with Section 25.

(d) Limitation on Conversion.

 

(i) Beneficial Ownership. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Certificate of Designations, the Preferred Shares held by a Holder shall not be convertible by such Holder, and the Company shall not effect any conversion of any Preferred Shares held by such Holder, to the extent (but only to the extent) that such Holder (together with the Holder’s Affiliates, and any other Persons acting as a group together with the Holder or any of the Holder’s Affiliates (such Persons, “Attribution Parties”)) would beneficially own in excess of 9.99% (the “Maximum Percentage”) of the Common Stock. For purposes of the foregoing sentence, the number of shares of Common Stock beneficially owned by the Holder and its Affiliates and Attribution Parties shall include the number of shares of Common Stock issuable upon conversion of the Preferred Shares with respect to which such determination is being made, but shall exclude the number of shares of Common Stock which are issuable upon (i) conversion of the remaining, unconverted principal amount of the Preferred Shares beneficially owned by the Holder or any of its Affiliates or Attribution Parties and (ii) exercise or conversion of the unexercised or unconverted portion of any other securities of the Company subject to a limitation on conversion or exercise analogous to the limitation contained herein beneficially owned by the Holder or any of its Affiliates or Attribution Parties. No prior inability of a Holder to convert Preferred Shares, or of the Company to issue shares of Common Stock to such Holder, pursuant to this Section 4(d)(i) shall have any effect on the applicability of the provisions of this Section 4(d)(i) with respect to any subsequent determination of convertibility or issuance (as the case may be). Except as set forth above, for purposes of this Section 4(d)(i), beneficial ownership and all determinations and calculations (including, without limitation, with respect to calculations of percentage ownership) shall be determined in accordance with Section 13(d) of the 1934 Act and the rules and regulations promulgated thereunder. The provisions of this Section 4(d)(i) shall be implemented in a manner otherwise than in strict conformity with the terms of this Section 4(d)(i) to correct this Section 4(d)(i) (or any portion hereof) which may be defective or inconsistent with the intended Maximum Percentage beneficial ownership limitation herein contained or to make changes or supplements necessary or desirable to properly give effect to such Maximum Percentage limitation. The limitations contained in this Section 4(d)(i) shall apply to a successor holder of Preferred Shares. The holders of Common Stock shall be third-party beneficiaries of this Section 4(d)(i) and the Company may not waive this Section 4(d)(i) without the consent of holders of a majority of its Common Stock. For any reason at any time, upon the written or oral request of a Holder, the Company shall within one (1) Business Day confirm orally and in writing to such Holder the number of shares of Common Stock then outstanding, including by virtue of any prior conversion or exercise of convertible or exercisable securities into Common Stock, including, without limitation, pursuant to this Certificate of Designations or securities issued pursuant to the other Transaction Documents. By written notice to the Company, any Holder may increase or decrease the Maximum Percentage to any other percentage not in excess of 9.99% specified in such notice; provided, that (i) any such increase will not be effective until the 61st day after such notice is delivered to the Company, and (ii) any such increase or decrease will apply only to such Holder sending such notice and not to any other Holder.

 

(ii) Trading Market Regulation. The Company shall not issue any shares of Common Stock upon conversion of any Preferred Shares or otherwise pursuant to the terms of this Certificate of Designations if the issuance of such shares of Common Stock would exceed the aggregate number of shares of Common Stock which the Company may issue upon conversion of the Preferred Shares or otherwise pursuant to the terms of this Certificate of Designations without breaching the Company’s obligations under the rules or regulations of the applicable Trading Market (the number of shares which may be issued without violating such rules and regulations, the “Exchange Cap”), except that such limitation shall not apply in the event that the Company (A) obtains the approval of its stockholders as required by the applicable rules of the applicable Trading Market for issuances of shares of Common Stock in excess of such amount or (B) obtains a written opinion from outside counsel to the Company that such approval is not required, which opinion shall be reasonably satisfactory to the Required Holders. Until such approval or such written opinion is obtained, no Buyer (as defined in the Securities Purchase Agreement) shall be issued in the aggregate, upon conversion of any Preferred Shares or otherwise pursuant to the terms of this Certificate of Designations, shares of Common Stock in an amount greater than the product of (i) the Exchange Cap as of the Issuance Date multiplied by (ii) the quotient of (1) the aggregate original Stated Value of the Preferred Shares issued to such Buyer pursuant to the Securities Purchase Agreement on the Closing Date divided by (2) the aggregate original Stated Value of the Preferred Shares issued to the Buyers pursuant to the Securities Purchase Agreement on the Closing Date (with respect to each Buyer, the “Exchange Cap Allocation”). In the event that any Buyer shall sell or otherwise transfer any of such Buyer’s Preferred Shares, the transferee shall be allocated a pro rata portion of such Buyer’s Exchange Cap Allocation with respect to such portion of such Preferred Shares so transferred, and the restrictions of the prior sentence shall apply to such transferee with respect to the portion of the Exchange Cap Allocation so allocated to such transferee. Upon conversion in full of a holder’s Preferred Shares, the difference (if any) between such holder’s Exchange Cap Allocation and the number of shares of Common Stock actually issued to such holder upon such holder’s conversion in full of such Preferred Shares shall be allocated to the respective Exchange Cap Allocations of the remaining holders of Preferred Shares on a pro rata basis in proportion to the shares of Common Stock underlying the Preferred Shares hen held by each such holder of Preferred Shares. In the event that the Company is prohibited from issuing any shares of Common Stock pursuant to this Section 4(d)(i) (the “Exchange Cap Shares”) to a Holder, the Company shall pay cash to such Holder in exchange for the redemption of such number of Preferred Shares held by the Holder that are not convertible into such Exchange Cap Shares at a price equal to the sum of (i) the product of (x) such number of Exchange Cap Shares and (y) the Closing Sale Price on the Trading Day immediately preceding the date such Holder delivers the applicable Conversion Notice with respect to such Exchange Cap Shares to the Company and (ii) to the extent such Holder purchases (in an open market transaction or otherwise) shares of Common Stock to deliver in satisfaction of a sale by such Holder of Exchange Cap Shares, brokerage commissions, if any, of such Holder incurred in connection therewith.

(b) Notice of a Triggering Event; Redemption Right. Upon the occurrence of a Triggering Event with respect to the Preferred Shares, the Company shall within one (1) Business Day deliver written notice thereof via facsimile or electronic mail and overnight courier (with next day delivery specified) (a “Triggering Event Notice”) to each Holder. At any time after the earlier of a Holder’s receipt of a Triggering Event Notice and such Holder becoming aware of a Triggering Event (such earlier date, the “Triggering Event Right Commencement Date”) and ending (such ending date, the “Triggering Event Right Expiration Date”, and each such period, a “Triggering Event Redemption Right Period”) on the twentieth (20th) Trading Day after the later of (x) the date such Triggering Event is cured and (y) such Holder’s receipt of a Triggering Event Notice that includes (I) a reasonable description of the applicable Triggering Event, (II) a certification as to whether, in the opinion of the Company, such Triggering Event is capable of being cured and, if applicable, a reasonable description of any existing plans of the Company to cure such Triggering Event and (III) a certification as to the date the Triggering Event occurred and, if cured on or prior to the date of such Triggering Event Notice, the applicable Triggering Event Right Expiration Date, such Holder may require the Company to redeem (regardless of whether such Triggering Event has been cured on or prior to the Triggering Event Right Expiration Date) all or any of the Preferred Shares by delivering written notice thereof (the “Triggering Event Redemption Notice”) to the Company, which Triggering Event Redemption Notice shall indicate the number of the Preferred Shares such Holder is electing to redeem. Each of the Preferred Shares subject to redemption by the Company pursuant to this Section 5(b) shall be redeemed by the Company at a price equal to the greater of the product of (X) 110% multiplied by (Y) the greatest Closing Sale Price of the Common Stock on any Trading Day during the period commencing on the date immediately preceding such Triggering Event and ending on the date the Company makes the entire payment required to be made under this Section 5(b) (the “Triggering Event Redemption Price”). Redemptions required by this Section 5(b) shall be made in accordance with the provisions of Section 12. To the extent redemptions required by this Section 5(b) are deemed or determined by a court of competent jurisdiction to be prepayments of the Preferred Shares by the Company, such redemptions shall be deemed to be voluntary prepayments. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Section 5(b), but subject to Section 4(d), until the Triggering Event Redemption Price (together with any Late Charges thereon) is paid in full, the Conversion Amount submitted for redemption under this Section 5(b) (together with any Late Charges thereon) may be converted, in whole or in part, by such Holder into Common Stock pursuant to the terms of this Certificate of Designations. In the event of the Company’s redemption of any of the Preferred Shares under this Section 5(b), a Holder’s damages would be uncertain and difficult to estimate because of the parties’ inability to predict future interest rates and the uncertainty of the availability of a suitable substitute investment opportunity for such Holder. Accordingly, any redemption premium due under this Section 5(b) is intended by the parties to be, and shall be deemed, a reasonable estimate of such Holder’s actual loss of its investment opportunity and not as a penalty. Any redemption upon a Triggering Event shall not constitute an election of remedies by the applicable Holder or any other Holder, and all other rights and remedies of each Holder shall be preserved. For the avoidance of doubt, the original issue discount with respect to the purchase price of the Preferred Shares, as described in the Securities Purchase Agreement (collectively, the “Trigger Event Conversion Shares”) shall not be redeemed in accordance with this Section 5(b) but may be converted by such Holder into Common Stock pursuant to the terms of this Certificate of Designations.

 

(c) Mandatory Redemption upon Bankruptcy Triggering Event. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, and notwithstanding any conversion that is then required or in process, upon any Bankruptcy Triggering Event, whether occurring prior to or following the Outside Date, the Company shall immediately redeem, in cash, each of the Preferred Shares then outstanding at a redemption price equal to the applicable Triggering Event Redemption Price (calculated as if such Holder shall have delivered the Triggering Event Redemption Notice immediately prior to the occurrence of such Bankruptcy Triggering Event), without the requirement for any notice or demand or other action by any Holder or any other person or entity; provided, that a Holder may, in its sole discretion, waive such right to receive payment upon a Bankruptcy Triggering Event, in whole or in part, and any such waiver shall not affect any other rights of such Holder or any other Holder hereunder, including any other rights in respect of such Bankruptcy Triggering Event, any right to conversion, and any right to payment of such Triggering Event Redemption Price or any other Redemption Price, as applicable.

 

6. Rights Upon Fundamental Transactions.

 

(a) Assumption. The Company shall use its commercially reasonable efforts to not enter into or be party to a Fundamental Transaction unless (i) the Successor Entity assumes in writing all of the obligations of the Company under this Certificate of Designations and the other Transaction Documents in accordance with the provisions of this Section 6(a) pursuant to written agreements in form and substance satisfactory to the Required Holders and approved by the Required Holders prior to such Fundamental Transaction, including agreements to deliver to each holder of Preferred Shares in exchange for such Preferred Shares a security of the Successor Entity evidenced by a written instrument substantially similar in form and substance to this Certificate of Designations, including, without limitation, having a stated value and dividend rate equal to the stated value and dividend rate of the Preferred Shares held by the Holders and having similar ranking to the Preferred Shares, and satisfactory to the Required Holders and (ii) the Successor Entity (including its Parent Entity) is a publicly traded corporation whose shares of common stock are quoted on or listed for trading on an Eligible Market. Upon the occurrence of any 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 Certificate of Designations 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 Certificate of Designations and the other Transaction Documents with the same effect as if such Successor Entity had been named as the Company herein and therein. In addition to the foregoing, upon consummation of a Fundamental Transaction, the Successor Entity shall deliver to each Holder confirmation that there shall be issued upon conversion or redemption of the Preferred Shares at any time after the consummation of such Fundamental Transaction, in lieu of the shares of Common Stock (or other securities, cash, assets or other property (except such items still issuable under Sections 7(a) and 17, which shall continue to be receivable thereafter)) issuable upon the conversion or redemption of the Preferred Shares prior to such Fundamental Transaction, such shares of the publicly traded common stock (or their equivalent) of the Successor Entity (including its Parent Entity) which each Holder would have been entitled to receive upon the happening of such Fundamental Transaction had all the Preferred Shares held by each Holder been converted immediately prior to such Fundamental Transaction (without regard to any limitations on the conversion of the Preferred Shares contained in this Certificate of Designations), as adjusted in accordance with the provisions of this Certificate of Designations. Notwithstanding the foregoing, such Holder may elect, at its sole option, by delivery of written notice to the Company to waive this Section 6(a) to permit the Fundamental Transaction without the assumption of the Preferred Shares. The provisions of this Section 6(a) shall apply similarly and equally to successive Fundamental Transactions and shall be applied without regard to any limitations on the conversion or redemption of the Preferred Shares.

(b) Change of Control Redemption Right. No sooner than twenty (20) Trading Days nor later than ten (10) Trading Days prior to the consummation of a Change of Control (the “Change of Control Date”), but not prior to the public announcement of such Change of Control, the Company shall deliver written notice thereof via facsimile and overnight courier to each Holder (a “Change of Control Notice”). At any time during the period beginning after a Holder’s receipt of a Change of Control Notice or such Holder becoming aware of a Change of Control if a Change of Control Notice is not delivered to such Holder in accordance with the immediately preceding sentence (as applicable) and ending on the later of twenty (20) Trading Days after (A) consummation of such Change of Control or (B) the date of receipt of such Change of Control Notice, such Holder may require the Company to redeem all or any portion of such Holder’s Preferred Shares by delivering written notice thereof (“Change of Control Redemption Notice”) to the Company, which Change of Control Redemption Notice shall indicate the number of Preferred Shares such Holder is electing to have the Company redeem. Each Preferred Share subject to redemption pursuant to this Section 6(b) shall be redeemed by the Company in cash at a price equal to the product of the Change of Control Redemption Premium multiplied by the Stated Value (the “Change of Control Redemption Price”). Redemptions required by this Section 6(b) shall have priority to payments to all other stockholders of the Company in connection with such Change of Control. To the extent redemptions required by this Section 6(b) are deemed or determined by a court of competent jurisdiction to be prepayments of the Preferred Shares by the Company, such redemptions shall be deemed to be voluntary prepayments. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Section 6(b), but subject to Section 4(d), until the applicable Change of Control Redemption Price (together with any Late Charges thereon) is paid in full to the applicable Holder, the Preferred Shares submitted by such Holder for redemption under this Section 6(b) may be converted, in whole or in part, by such Holder into Common Stock pursuant to Section 4 or in the event the Conversion Date is after the consummation of such Change of Control, stock or equity interests of the Successor Entity substantially equivalent to the Company’s shares of Common Stock pursuant to Section 4. In the event of the Company’s redemption of any of the Preferred Shares under this Section 6(b), such Holder’s damages would be uncertain and difficult to estimate because of the parties’ inability to predict future interest rates and the uncertainty of the availability of a suitable substitute investment opportunity for a Holder. Accordingly, any redemption premium due under this Section 6(b) is intended by the parties to be, and shall be deemed, a reasonable estimate of such Holder’s actual loss of its investment opportunity and not as a penalty. The Company shall make payment of the applicable Change of Control Redemption Price concurrently with the consummation of such Change of Control if a Change of Control Redemption Notice is received prior to the consummation of such Change of Control and within two (2) Trading Days after the Company’s receipt of such notice otherwise (the “Change of Control Redemption Date”). Redemptions required by this Section 6(b) shall be made in accordance with the provisions of Section 12.

 

(c) Tag Along Rights. In the event that one or more holders of Common Stock (the “Selling Stockholders”) propose to Transfer (as defined below), in a single transaction or series of related transactions, shares of Common Stock (or equity interests convertible into or exchangeable for Common Stock) constituting more than 50% of the outstanding Common Stock of the Company (a “Tag-Along Sale”) to any third-party (the “Proposed Transferee”), each Holder shall have the right (but not the obligation) to participate in such Tag-Along Sale on a pro rata basis (based on the number of Preferred Shares then held by such Holder on an as-converted basis relative to the aggregate number of shares of Common Stock proposed to be sold by the Selling Stockholders) and on the same terms and conditions as offered to the Selling Stockholders. For purposes of this Section 6(c), “Transfer” means any direct or indirect sale, assignment, transfer, pledge, hypothecation, or other disposition, whether voluntary or involuntary, of any equity securities or any legal or beneficial interest therein, including by merger, consolidation, equity exchange or other similar transaction. The Selling Stockholders shall deliver written notice (a “Tag-Along Notice”) to each Holder not less than twenty (20) Trading Days prior to the expected closing of the Tag-Along Sale, which notice shall include: (i) the name and address of the Proposed Transferee, (ii) the number and type of securities proposed to be Transferred, (iii) the proposed purchase price and form of consideration, and (iv) the other material terms and conditions of the proposed Transfer. Each Holder electing to exercise its tag-along right shall notify the Selling Stockholders and the Company in writing (a “Tag-Along Election Notice”) within ten (10) Trading Days after receipt of the Tag-Along Notice, specifying the number of shares (on an as-converted basis) such Holder wishes to include in the Tag-Along Sale. If a Holder exercises its tag-along rights, the Selling Stockholders shall use commercially reasonable efforts to cause the Proposed Transferee to purchase the applicable Preferred Shares of such Holder on the same terms and conditions, and for the same per share consideration on an as-converted basis, as the shares of Common Stock to be sold by the Selling Stockholders. If the Proposed Transferee refuses to purchase all of the securities proposed to be sold, the number of shares to be sold by the Selling Stockholders and participating Holders shall be reduced pro rata, and no shares may be Transferred to the Proposed Transferee unless the rights of the participating Holders under this Section 6(c) have been fully complied with.

7. Rights Upon Issuance of Purchase Rights, Dilutive Issuances, and Other Corporate Events. From and after the date hereof and until such time as all Preferred Shares shall be issued and there shall be no Preferred Share remaining outstanding and, to the extent application, except with respect to an Exempt Issuance:

 

(a) Purchase Rights. If at any time the Company grants, issues or sells any Options, Convertible Securities or rights to purchase stock, warrants, securities or other property pro rata to all or substantially all of the record holders of any class of Common Stock (the “Purchase Rights”), then each Holder will be entitled to acquire, upon the terms applicable to such Purchase Rights, the aggregate Purchase Rights which such Holder could have acquired if such Holder had held the number of shares of Common Stock acquirable upon complete conversion of all the Preferred Shares (without taking into account any limitations or restrictions on the convertibility of the Preferred Shares) held by such Holder immediately prior to the date on which a record is taken for the grant, issuance or sale of such Purchase Rights, 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 grant, issue or sale of such Purchase Rights (provided, that, to the extent that such Holder’s right to participate in any such Purchase Right would result in such Holder exceeding the Maximum Percentage, then such Holder shall not be entitled to participate in such Purchase Right to such extent (and shall not be entitled to beneficial ownership of such shares of Common Stock as a result of such Purchase Right (and beneficial ownership) to such extent) and such Purchase Right to such extent shall be held in abeyance for such Holder until such time or times, if ever, as its right thereto would not result in such Holder exceeding the Maximum Percentage), at which time or times such Holder shall be granted such right (and any Purchase Right granted, issued or sold on such initial Purchase Right or on any subsequent Purchase Right to be held similarly in abeyance) to the same extent as if there had been no such limitation).

 

(b) Other Corporate Events. In addition to and not in substitution for any other rights hereunder, prior to the consummation of any Fundamental Transaction pursuant to which holders of shares of Common Stock are entitled to receive securities or other assets with respect to or in exchange for shares of Common Stock (a “Corporate Event”), the Company shall make appropriate provision to insure that each Holder will thereafter have the right to receive upon a conversion of all the Preferred Shares held by such Holder (i) in addition to the shares of Common Stock receivable upon such conversion, such securities or other assets to which such Holder would have been entitled with respect to such shares of Common Stock had such shares of Common Stock been held by such Holder upon the consummation of such Corporate Event (without taking into account any limitations or restrictions on the convertibility of the Preferred Shares contained in this Certificate of Designations) or (ii) in lieu of the shares of Common Stock otherwise receivable upon such conversion, such securities or other assets received by the holders of shares of Common Stock in connection with the consummation of such Corporate Event in such amounts as such Holder would have been entitled to receive had the Preferred Shares held by such Holder initially been issued with conversion rights for the form of such consideration (as opposed to shares of Common Stock) at a conversion rate for such consideration commensurate with the Conversion Rate. Provision made pursuant the proceeding sentence shall be in a form and substance satisfactory to the Required Holders. The provisions of this Section 7(b) shall apply similarly and equally to successive Corporate Events and shall be applied without regard to any limitations on the conversion or redemption of the Preferred Shares contained in this Certificate of Designations.

 

- 11 -

 

 

(c) Dilutive Issuance. If the Company or any Subsidiary thereof, as applicable, at any time while any of the Preferred Shares is outstanding, shall issue shares of Common Stock or Common Stock Equivalents or sell or grant any option to purchase, or sell or grant any right to reprice, or otherwise dispose of or issue (or announce any offer, sale, grant or any option to purchase or other disposition) any shares of Common Stock or Common Stock Equivalents, at an effective price per share less than the Conversion Price then in effect (such lower price, the “Base Share Price” and such issuances collectively, a “Dilutive Issuance”) (it being understood and agreed that if the holder of the shares of Common Stock or Common Stock Equivalents so issued shall at any time, whether by operation of purchase price adjustments, reset provisions, floating conversion, exercise or exchange prices or otherwise, or due to warrants, options or rights per share which are issued in connection with such issuance, be entitled to receive shares of Common Stock at an effective price per share that is less than the Conversion Price, such issuance shall be deemed to have occurred for less than the Conversion Price on such date of the Dilutive Issuance at such effective price), then simultaneously with the consummation of each Dilutive Issuance the Conversion Price shall be reduced and only reduced to the Base Share Price. Such adjustment shall be made whenever such shares of Common Stock or Common Stock Equivalents are issued. Notwithstanding the foregoing, no adjustments shall be made, paid or issued under this Section 7(c) in respect of an Exempt Issuance. The Company shall notify the Holder, in writing, no later than the Trading Day following the issuance or deemed issuance of any shares of Common Stock or Common Stock Equivalents subject to this Section 5(c), indicating therein the applicable issuance price, or applicable reset price, exchange price, conversion price and other pricing terms (such notice, the “Dilutive Issuance Notice”). For purposes of clarification, whether or not the Company provides a Dilutive Issuance Notice pursuant to this Section 5(c), upon the occurrence of any Dilutive Issuance, each Holder is entitled to receive a number of Conversion Shares based upon the Base Share Price regardless of whether such Holder accurately refers to the Base Share Price in the Notice of Conversion. If the Company enters into a transaction for Variable-Priced Equity-Linked Instruments (as defined in the Purchase Agreement), despite the prohibition thereon in the Purchase Agreement, the Company shall be deemed to have issued shares of Common Stock or Common Stock Equivalents at the lowest possible conversion or exercise price at which such securities may be converted or exercised.

 

(d) Leak-out. All Holders of Preferred Shares collectively shall not, on any Trading Day, sell a number of Conversion Shares which equals more than 10% of the total daily share volume as reported by the applicable Trading Market. The foregoing limitation shall not apply to any sale of Conversion Shares at a price equal to or greater than 115% of the Closing Sale Price for the Common Stock on the prior Trading Day.

 

8. [Reserved].

 

9. Company Optional Redemption. At any time that no Equity Conditions Failure exists, the Company shall have the right to redeem all, but not less than all, of the Preferred Shares then outstanding (the “Company Optional Redemption Amount”) on the Company Optional Redemption Date (each as defined below) (a “Company Optional Redemption”). The Preferred Shares subject to redemption pursuant to this Section 9 shall be redeemed by the Company in cash at a price (the “Company Optional Redemption Price”) equal to 110% of the Stated Value plus all accrued and unpaid dividends thereon until the applicable Company Optional Redemption Date. The Company may exercise its right to require redemption under this Section 9 by delivering a written notice thereof by facsimile or electronic mail and overnight courier to all, but not less than all, of the Holders (the “Company Optional Redemption Notice” and the date all of the Holders received such notice is referred to as the “Company Optional Redemption Notice Date”). The Company may deliver only one Company Optional Redemption Notice hereunder and such Company Optional Redemption Notice shall be irrevocable. The Company Optional Redemption Notice shall (x) state the date on which the Company Optional Redemption shall occur (the “Company Optional Redemption Date”) which date shall not be less than ten (10) Trading Days nor more than one hundred (100) Trading Days following the Company Optional Redemption Notice Date, (y) certify that there has been no Equity Conditions Failure and (z) state the aggregate Conversion Amount of the Preferred Shares which is being redeemed in such Company Optional Redemption from such Holder and all of the other Holders of the Preferred Shares pursuant to this Section 9 on the Company Optional Redemption Date. Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, (i) if no Equity Conditions Failure has occurred as of the Company Optional Redemption Notice Date but an Equity Conditions Failure occurs at any time prior to the Company Optional Redemption Date, (A) the Company shall provide each Holder a subsequent notice to that effect and (B) unless such Holder waives the Equity Conditions Failure, the Company Optional Redemption with respect to such Holder shall be cancelled and the applicable Company Optional Redemption Notice shall be null and void and (ii) at any time prior to the date the Company Optional Redemption Price is paid, in full, the Company Optional Redemption Amount may be converted, in whole or in part, by any Holder into shares of Common Stock pursuant to Section 4. All Conversion Amounts converted by a Holder after the Company Optional Redemption Notice Date shall reduce the Company Optional Redemption Amount of the Preferred Shares of such Holder required to be redeemed on the Company Optional Redemption Date. Redemptions made pursuant to this Section 9 shall be made in accordance with Section 12. In the event of the Company’s redemption of any of the Preferred Shares under this Section 9, a Holder’s damages would be uncertain and difficult to estimate because of the parties’ inability to predict future interest rates and the uncertainty of the availability of a suitable substitute investment opportunity for such Holder. Accordingly, any redemption premium due under this Section 9 is intended by the parties to be, and shall be deemed, a reasonable estimate of such Holder’s actual loss of its investment opportunity and not as a penalty. For the avoidance of doubt, the Company shall have no right to effect a Company Optional Redemption if any Triggering Event has occurred and continuing, but any Triggering Event shall have no effect upon any Holder’s right to convert Preferred Shares in its discretion.

10. Non-circumvention. The Company hereby covenants and agrees that the Company will not, by amendment of its Articles of Incorporation (as defined in the Securities Purchase Agreement), Bylaws (as defined in the Securities Purchase Agreement) or through any reorganization, transfer of assets, consolidation, merger, scheme of arrangement, 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 Certificate of Designations, and will at all times in good faith carry out all the provisions of this Certificate of Designations and take all action as may be required to protect the rights of the Holders. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing or any other provision of this Certificate of Designations or the other Transaction Documents, the Company (a) shall not increase the par value of any shares of Common Stock receivable upon the conversion of any Preferred Shares above the Conversion Price then in effect, (b) shall take all such actions as may be necessary or appropriate in order that the Company may validly and legally issue fully paid and non-assessable shares of Common Stock upon the conversion of Preferred Shares and (c) shall, so long as any Preferred Shares are outstanding, take all action necessary to reserve and keep available out of its authorized and unissued shares of Common Stock, solely for the purpose of effecting the conversion of the Preferred Shares, the maximum number of shares of Common Stock as shall from time to time be necessary to effect the conversion of the Preferred Shares then outstanding (without regard to any limitations on conversion contained herein). Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, if after the seventy-five (75) calendar day anniversary of the Issuance Date, each Holder is not permitted to convert such Holder’s Preferred Shares in full for any reason (other than pursuant to restrictions set forth in Section 4(d)(i)), the Company shall use its best efforts to promptly remedy such failure, including, without limitation, obtaining such consents or approvals as necessary to effect such conversion into shares of Common Stock.

 

11. Authorized Shares.

 

(a) Reservation. So long as any of the Preferred Shares are outstanding, the Company shall take all action necessary to reserve and keep available out of its authorized and unissued Common Stock, solely for the purpose of effecting the conversion of the Preferred Shares, a number of shares of Common Stock, as of any date of determination, for each of the Preferred Shares in accordance with the following formula:

 

  P  x 2.5 = Share Reserve
  (T)

 

  P = The aggregate Purchase Price (as defined the Securities Purchase Agreement) of the Preferred Shares issued on or prior to such date of determination;
     
  T = The applicable Conversion Base Price as of such date of determination;

 

provided, that the Share Reserve shall in no event be less than 250% of the number of shares of Common Stock as shall from time to time be necessary to effect the conversion of all of the Preferred Shares then outstanding (without regard to any limitations on conversions) (the “Required Reserve Amount”). The Required Reserve Amount (including, without limitation, each increase in the number of shares so reserved) shall be allocated pro rata among the Holders based on the number of the Preferred Shares held by each Holder on the Initial Issuance Date or increase in the number of reserved shares, as the case may be (the “Authorized Share Allocation”). In the event that a Holder shall sell or otherwise transfer any of such Holder’s Preferred Shares, each transferee shall be allocated a pro rata portion of such Holder’s Authorized Share Allocation. Any shares of Common Stock reserved and allocated to any Person which ceases to hold any Preferred Shares shall be allocated to the remaining Holders of Preferred Shares, pro rata based on the number of the Preferred Shares then held by the Holders.

 

- 13 -

 

 

(b) Insufficient Authorized Shares. If, notwithstanding Section 11(a) and not in limitation thereof, while any of the Preferred Shares remain outstanding the Company does not have a sufficient number of authorized and unreserved shares of Common Stock to satisfy its obligation to reserve for issuance upon conversion of the Preferred Shares at least a number of shares of Common Stock equal to the Required Reserve Amount (an “Authorized Share Failure”), then the Company shall immediately take all action necessary to increase the Company’s authorized shares of Common Stock to an amount sufficient to allow the Company to reserve the Required Reserve Amount for the Preferred Shares then outstanding. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing sentence, as soon as practicable after the date of the occurrence of an Authorized Share Failure, but in no event later than forty five (45) days after the occurrence of such Authorized Share Failure, the Company shall hold a meeting of its stockholders for the approval of an increase in the number of authorized shares of Common Stock. In connection with such meeting, the Company shall provide each stockholder with a proxy statement and shall use its reasonable best efforts to solicit its stockholders’ approval of such increase in authorized shares of Common Stock and to cause its board of directors to recommend to the stockholders that they approve such proposal. In the event that the Company is prohibited from issuing shares of Common Stock to a Holder upon any conversion due to the failure by the Company to have sufficient shares of Common Stock available out of the authorized but unissued shares of Common Stock (such unavailable number of shares of Common Stock, the “Authorized Failure Shares”), in lieu of delivering such Authorized Failure Shares to such Holder, the Company shall pay cash in exchange for the redemption of such portion of the Conversion Amount convertible into such Authorized Failure Shares at a price equal to the sum of (i) the product of (x) such number of Authorized Failure Shares and (y) the greatest Closing Sale Price of the Common Stock on any Trading Day during the period commencing on the date such Holder delivers the applicable Conversion Notice with respect to such Authorized Failure Shares to the Company and ending on the date of such issuance and payment under this Section 11(a); and (ii) to the extent such Holder purchases (in an open market transaction or otherwise) shares of Common Stock to deliver in satisfaction of a sale by such Holder of Authorized Failure Shares, any brokerage commissions, if any, of such Holder incurred in connection therewith. Nothing contained in Section 11(a) or this Section 11(b) shall limit any obligations of the Company under any provision of the Securities Purchase Agreement.

 

12. Redemptions.

 

(a) General. If a Holder has submitted a Triggering Event Redemption Notice in accordance with Section 5(b), the Company shall deliver the applicable Triggering Event Redemption Price and the applicable number of Trigger Event Conversion Shares to such Holder in cash within five (5) Business Days after the Company’s receipt of such Holder’s Triggering Event Redemption Notice. If a Holder has submitted a Change of Control Redemption Notice in accordance with Section 6(b), the Company shall deliver the applicable Change of Control Redemption Price to such Holder in cash concurrently with the consummation of such Change of Control if such notice is received prior to the consummation of such Change of Control and within five (5) Business Days after the Company’s receipt of such notice otherwise. If a Holder has submitted an Outside Date Redemption Notice in accordance with Section 13, the Company shall deliver the applicable Outside Date Redemption Price to such Holder in cash on the applicable Outside Date Redemption Date. If a Holder has submitted a Financing Redemption Notice in accordance with Section 13, the Company shall deliver the applicable Financing Redemption Price to such Holder in cash on the applicable Financing Redemption Date. The Company shall deliver the applicable Company Optional Redemption Price to each Holder in cash on the applicable Company Optional Date. In the event of a redemption of less than all of the Preferred Shares, the Company shall promptly cause to be issued and delivered to such Holder a new Preferred Certificate (in accordance with Section 20) representing the number of Preferred Shares which have not been redeemed. In the event that the Company does not pay the applicable Redemption Price to a Holder within the time period required for any reason (except if such payment is prohibited pursuant to the NRS), at any time thereafter and until the Company pays such unpaid Redemption Price in full, such Holder shall have the option, in lieu of redemption, to require the Company to promptly return to such Holder all or any of the Preferred Shares that were submitted for redemption and for which the applicable Redemption Price (together with any Late Charges thereon) has not been paid. Upon the Company’s receipt of such notice, (x) the applicable Redemption Notice shall be null and void with respect to such Preferred Shares, (y) the Company shall immediately return the applicable Preferred Share Certificate, or issue a new Preferred Share Certificate (in accordance with Section 20(d)), to such Holder, and in each case the Additional Amount of such Preferred Shares shall be increased by an amount equal to the difference between (1) the applicable Redemption Price (as the case may be, and as adjusted pursuant to this Section 12(a), if applicable) minus (2) the Stated Value portion of the Conversion Amount submitted for redemption and (z) the Conversion Price of such Preferred Shares shall be automatically adjusted with respect to each conversion effected thereafter by such Holder to the lowest of (A) the Conversion Price as in effect on the date on which the applicable Redemption Notice is voided, (B) 80% of the lowest Closing Bid Price of the Common Stock during the period beginning on and including the date on which the applicable Redemption Notice is delivered to the Company and ending on and including the date on which the applicable Redemption Notice is voided and (C) 75% of the quotient of (I) the sum of the five (5) lowest VWAPs of the Common Stock during the twenty (20) consecutive Trading Day period ending and including the Trading Day immediately preceding the applicable Conversion Date divided by (II) five (5) (it being understood and agreed that all such determinations shall be appropriately adjusted for any stock dividend, stock split, stock combination or other similar transaction during such period). A Holder’s delivery of a notice voiding a Redemption Notice and exercise of its rights following such notice shall not affect the Company’s obligations to make any payments of Late Charges which have accrued prior to the date of such notice with respect to the Preferred Shares subject to such notice.

(b) Redemption by Multiple Holders. Upon the Company’s receipt of a Redemption Notice from any Holder for redemption or repayment as a result of an event or occurrence substantially similar to the events or occurrences described in Section 5(b) or Section 6(b), the Company shall immediately, but no later than one (1) Business Day of its receipt thereof, forward to each other Holder by facsimile or electronic mail a copy of such notice. If the Company receives one or more Redemption Notices, during the seven (7) Business Day period beginning on and including the date which is three (3) Business Days prior to the Company’s receipt of the initial Redemption Notice and ending on and including the date which is three (3) Business Days after the Company’s receipt of the initial Redemption Notice and the Company is unable to redeem all principal, interest and other amounts designated in such initial Redemption Notice and such other Redemption Notices received during such seven (7) Business Day period, then the Company shall redeem a pro rata amount from each Holder based on the principal amount of the Preferred Shares submitted for redemption pursuant to such Redemption Notices received by the Company during such seven (7) Business Day period.

 

(c) Redemption Upon Subsequent Financing. At any time, any Holder may require the Company to redeem (a “Financing Redemption”) Preferred Shares held by such Holder at a purchase price equal to 100% of the Conversion Amount of such Preferred Shares (the “Financing Redemption Price”) from the proceeds of any new issuance of public or private equity or debt securities (including, for the avoidance of doubt, proceeds from any equity line of credit or committed equity financing facility), or from the proceeds of any exercise of existing warrants of the Company, by delivery of written notice thereof (the “Financing Redemption Notice”) to the Company. The amount of such redemption shall be: (i) an amount equal to twenty-five percent (25%) of the net proceeds received by the Company (or any of its Subsidiaries) until such time as the cumulative total of all net proceeds received is equal to or less than $10,000,000; and (ii) thirty-five percent (35%) of the net proceeds received by the Company (or any of its Subsidiaries) thereafter. The Financing Redemption Notice shall state the date the Company is required to pay to such Holder such Financing Redemption Price (the “Financing Redemption Date”), which date shall be no earlier than ten (10) Business Days following the date of delivery of such Mandatory Redemption Notice. Such redemption obligation shall apply only if the VWAP of the Common Stock for at least five (5) consecutive Trading Days immediately prior to the Holder’s redemption request is less than the Conversion Price then in effect. Redemptions required by this section 12(c) shall be made in accordance with the provisions of Section 12.

 

13. Holder Optional Redemption after Outside Date. At any time after the Outside Date, any Holder may require the Company to redeem (a “Outside Date Redemption”) all or any number of Preferred Shares held by such Holder at a purchase price equal to 100% of the Conversion Amount of such Preferred Shares (the “Outside Date Redemption Price”) by delivery of written notice thereof (the “Outside Date Redemption Notice”) to the Company. The Outside Date Redemption Notice shall state the date the Company is required to pay to such Holder such Outside Date Redemption Price (the “Outside Date Redemption Date”), which date shall be no earlier than ten (10) Business Days following the date of delivery of such Mandatory Redemption Notice.

Upon receipt by the Company of evidence reasonably satisfactory to the Company of the loss, theft, destruction or mutilation of a Preferred Share Certificate (as to which a written certification and the indemnification contemplated below shall suffice as such evidence), and, in the case of loss, theft or destruction, of any indemnification undertaking by the applicable Holder to the Company in customary and reasonable form and, in the case of mutilation, upon surrender and cancellation of such Preferred Share Certificate, the Company shall execute and deliver to such Holder a new Preferred Share Certificate (in accordance with Section 20(d)) representing the applicable outstanding number of Preferred Shares.

(d) Issuance of New Preferred Share Certificate. Whenever the Company is required to issue a new Preferred Share Certificate pursuant to the terms of this Certificate of Designations, such new Preferred Share Certificate (i) shall represent, as indicated on the face of such Preferred Share Certificate, the number of Preferred Shares remaining outstanding (or in the case of a new Preferred Share Certificate being issued pursuant to Section 20(a) or Section 20(c), the number of Preferred Shares designated by such Holder which, when added to the number of Preferred Shares represented by the other new Preferred Share Certificates issued in connection with such issuance, does not exceed the number of Preferred Shares remaining outstanding under the original Preferred Share Certificate immediately prior to such issuance of new Preferred Share Certificate), and (ii) shall have an issuance date, as indicated on the face of such new Preferred Share Certificate, which is the same as the issuance date of the original Preferred Share Certificate.

 

21. Remedies, Characterizations, Other Obligations, Breaches and Injunctive Relief. The remedies provided in this Certificate of Designations shall be cumulative and in addition to all other remedies available under this Certificate of Designations and any of the other Transaction Documents, at law or in equity (including a decree of specific performance and/or other injunctive relief), and nothing herein shall limit any Holder’s right to pursue actual and consequential damages for any failure by the Company to comply with the terms of this Certificate of Designations. The Company covenants to each Holder that there shall be no characterization concerning this instrument other than as expressly provided herein. Amounts set forth or provided for herein with respect to payments, conversion and the like (and the computation thereof) shall be the amounts to be received by a Holder and shall not, except as expressly provided herein, be subject to any other obligation of the Company (or the performance thereof). The Company acknowledges that a breach by it of its obligations hereunder will cause irreparable harm to the Holders and that the remedy at law for any such breach may be inadequate. The Company therefore agrees that, in the event of any such breach or threatened breach, each Holder shall be entitled, in addition to all other available remedies, to an injunction restraining any such breach or any such threatened breach, without the necessity of showing economic loss and without any bond or other security being required. The Company shall provide all information and documentation to a Holder that is reasonably requested by such Holder to enable such Holder to confirm the Company’s compliance with the terms and conditions of this Certificate of Designations.

ARTICLE VI MISCELLANEOUS

 

6.1 Termination and Survival. This Agreement may be terminated by Holder, as to the Holder’s obligations hereunder only and without any effect whatsoever on the obligations between the Company and the Holder, by written notice to the Company, if the Closing has not occurred on or before July 1, 2026. Termination of this Agreement will not affect the right of any party to sue for any breach by any other party (or parties) prior to such termination. The representations and warranties, covenants and other provisions hereof shall survive the Closing and the delivery of the Shares. Notwithstanding any termination of any Transaction Document, the reimbursement and indemnities to which the Holder is entitled under the provisions of any Transaction Document shall continue in full force and effect and shall protect the Holder against events arising after such termination as well as before.

 

6.2 Fees and Expenses. Whether or not the transactions contemplated hereby shall be consummated or any Securities shall be purchased, the Company agrees to pay promptly, or as indicated below, to Holder, or reimburse Holder for, the following:

 

(a) all the costs, fees and expenses of the Transfer Agent (including any fees required for same-day processing of any instruction letter delivered by the Company) and all other costs and expenses (including stamp taxes and other taxes and duties levied) incurred in connection with the delivery to Holder of any Shares;

 

(b) all the actual and reasonable costs, fees and expenses of administration of the Transaction Documents and preparation, execution and closing of any consents, amendments, waivers or other modifications thereto, including the reasonable fees, expenses and disbursements of counsel to Holder in connection therewith and in connection with any other documents or matters requested by Company (including through agents, contractors, trustees, representatives and advisors) or otherwise prepared or delivered in connection with any Transaction Document; and

 

(c) all the actual and reasonable costs, fees, expenses and disbursements of any auditors, accountants, consultants or appraisers used in connection with the Transaction Documents.

 

The foregoing shall be in addition to, and shall not be construed to limit, any other provisions of the Transaction Documents regarding indemnification and costs and expenses to be paid by the Company Parties.

 

6.3 Modifications and Signatures. No waiver of any default with respect to any provision, condition or requirement of this Agreement shall be deemed to be a continuing waiver in the future or a waiver of any subsequent default or a waiver of any other provision, condition or requirement hereof, nor shall any delay or omission of any party to exercise any right hereunder in any manner impair the exercise of any such right. Any modification effected in accordance with accordance with this Section 6.3 shall be binding upon Holder and holder of Securities and the Company.

 

(a) Entire Agreement. This Agreement and the other Transaction Documents contain and constitute the entire agreement of the parties with respect to the subject matter hereof and supersede all prior negotiations, agreements, and understandings, whether written or oral, of the parties hereto, which the parties acknowledge have been merged into such documents.

 

(b) Amendments. No amendment, modification or termination of any provision of this Agreement or any other Transaction Document shall be effective without the written consent of the Company and the Holder. No waiver or consent shall be effective against any party unless given in writing and then any such waiver shall then be effective only in the specific instance and for the specific purpose for which it was given.

 

(c) Successors and Assigns. This Agreement shall bind and inure solely to the benefit of the Company, the Holder, and their respective successors and, if permitted, assigns; provided, that the Company may not assign this Agreement or any other Transaction Document or any rights or obligations hereunder or thereunder without the Holder’s prior written consent and any prohibited assignment shall be absolutely void. Unless otherwise expressly provided in any Transaction Document, Holder may sell, assign, transfer, negotiate or grant participations in all or any part of, or any interest in, or any right or remedy under, the Shares and the Transaction Documents without the consent of the Company Parties; provided, that any transferee of the Shares shall agree in writing to be bound, with respect to the transferred Securities, by the provisions of the Transaction Documents that apply to the “Holder” (and any attempt to effect such transfer without securing such agreement shall be null and void).

 

-23-

 

 

(d) No Waiver by Course of Dealing. No notice to or demand on any Company Party, whether or not in any Proceeding, pursuant to any Transaction Document shall entitle any Company Party to any other or further notice (except as specifically required hereunder or under any other Transaction Document) or demand in similar or other circumstances. The failure by any Holder Party at any time or times to require strict performance by the Company of any provision of this Agreement or any of the other Transaction Documents or the granting of any waiver or indulgence shall not waive, affect or otherwise diminish any right of such Holder Party thereafter to demand strict compliance and performance with such provision, shall not affect or be a waiver under any other provision of any Transaction Document except as specifically mentioned and shall not constitute a course of dealing by any Holder Party at variance with the terms of this Agreement or any other Transaction Document (and therefore, among other things, shall not require further notice by a Holder Party of its intent to require strict adherence to the terms of such Transaction Document in the future). Any such actions shall not in any way affect the ability of any Holder Party, in its discretion, to exercise any rights available to it under this Agreement, the other Transaction Documents or under applicable Regulations.

 

(e) Execution in Counterparts. This Agreement may be executed in counterparts and by different parties on separate counterparts, each of which, when executed and delivered, shall be deemed to be an original, and both of which, when taken together, shall constitute but one and the same Agreement. In proving this Agreement in any judicial proceedings, it shall not be necessary to produce or account for more than one such counterpart signed by the party against whom such enforcement is sought.

 

(f) Electronic Signatures. Each party agrees that the electronic signatures, whether digital or encrypted, of the parties included in this Agreement or any other Transaction Document are intended to authenticate this writing and to have the same force and effect as manual signatures. Electronic signature means any electronic sound, symbol, or process attached to or logically associated with a record and executed and adopted by a party with the intent to sign such record, including facsimile or email electronic signatures. The Company expressly agrees that this Agreement and all other Transaction Documents are “transferable records” as defined in applicable Regulations relating to electronic transaction and that it may be created, authenticated, stored, transmitted and transferred in a manner consistent with and permitted by such applicable Regulations.

 

6.4 Notices.

 

(a) All notices, requests, demands, and other communications to either party hereto or given under any Transaction Document shall be in writing (including electronic mail transmission or similar writing) and shall be given to such party at the physical address or send to the electronic mailing address set forth in the signature pages hereof or at such other physical address or electronic mailing address as such party may hereafter specify for the purpose of notice to the Holder and the Company in accordance with the provisions of this Section 6.4.

 

(b) Each such notice, request or other communication shall be effective (i) if given by mail, three (3) Trading Days after such communication is deposited in the U.S. Mail with first class postage pre-paid, addressed to the noticed party at the address specified herein, (ii) if by nationally recognized overnight courier, when delivered with receipt acknowledged in writing by the noticed party, (iii) if given by personal delivery, when duly delivered with receipt acknowledged in writing by the noticed party or (iv) if given by electronic mail, when delivered (receipt by the sender of a receipt using the “return receipt” function or receipt of a reply email being presumptive evidence of receipt thereof); provided, that if such electronic mail is not sent prior to the last trading hour of the principal Trading Market of the Shares on a Trading Day, such electronic mail shall be deemed to have been sent at the opening of trading on the next Trading Day for such principal Trading Market. Any written notice, request or demand that is not sent in conformity with the provisions hereof shall nevertheless be effective on the date that such notice, request or demand is actually received by the individual to whose attention at the noticed party such notice, request or demand is required to be sent.

 

-24-

 

 

6.5 Set-Off. In addition to any rights now or hereafter granted under applicable Regulations and not by way of limitation of any such rights, Holder is hereby authorized by the Company at any time or from time to time, without notice or demand to Company or to any other Person, any such notice or demand being hereby expressly waived, to set off and to appropriate and to apply any and all deposits (general or special, time or demand, provisional or final, including indebtedness evidenced by certificates of deposit, whether matured or unmatured, but not including trust accounts) and any other indebtedness or other amounts at any time held or owing by Company to or for the credit or the account of Company or any of its Related Parties against and on account of any amounts due by Company or any of its Related Parties to any Holder Party under any Transaction Documents, irrespective of whether or not Holder shall have made any demand hereunder.

 

6.6 Governing Law.

 

(a) Except as otherwise expressly provided in any other Transaction Document, this Agreement, the other Transaction Documents and all claims, Proceedings and matters arising hereunder or thereunder or related hereto or thereto are governed by, and construed and enforced in accordance with, the laws of the State of New York.

 

(b) Any Proceeding with respect to any Transaction Document may be brought exclusively in the New York State courts sitting in the Borough of Manhattan or the federal courts of the United States of America for the District of New York and sitting in the Borough of Manhattan. The Company (i) accepts for itself and in respect of its property, generally and unconditionally, the non-exclusive jurisdiction of such courts, (ii) irrevocably waives any objection, including any objection to the laying of venue, based on the grounds of forum non conveniens or that such jurisdiction is improper or otherwise that such party is not subject to the jurisdiction of such courts, that it may now or hereafter have to the bringing of any Proceeding in those jurisdictions, (iii) irrevocably consents to the service of process of any court referred to above in any Proceeding by the mailing of copies of the process to the parties hereto as provided in Section 6.4 and (iv) agrees that a final judgment in any such Proceeding shall be conclusive and may be enforced in other jurisdictions by suit on the judgment or in any other manner provided by law. Service effected as provided in this manner will become effective ten (10) calendar days after the mailing of the process. Notwithstanding the foregoing, nothing contained in any Transaction Document shall affect the right of Holder to serve process in any other manner permitted by applicable Regulations or commence Proceedings or otherwise proceed against the Company in any other jurisdiction.

 

6.7 Severability. Any provision of any Transaction Document being held illegal, invalid or unenforceable in any jurisdiction shall not affect any part of such provision not held illegal, invalid or unenforceable, any other provision of any Transaction Document or any part of such provision in any other jurisdiction, so long as the economic or legal substance of the transactions contemplated hereby is not affected in any manner adverse to any party. In addition, upon any determination that any such term or other provision is invalid, illegal or incapable of being enforced, the parties hereto will negotiate in good faith to modify the relevant Transaction Document so as to effect the original intent of the parties as closely as possible in an acceptable manner to the end that the transactions contemplated hereby are fulfilled to the extent possible.

 

6.8 Rescission and Withdrawal Right. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in (and without limiting any similar provisions of) any of the other Transaction Documents, whenever any Holder Party exercises a right, election, demand or option under a Transaction Document and a Company Party does not timely perform its related obligations within the periods therein provided, then such Holder may rescind or withdraw, in its sole discretion from time to time upon written notice to the Company, any relevant notice, demand or election in whole or in part without prejudice to its future actions and rights.

 

6.9 Replacement of Securities. If any certificate or instrument evidencing any Securities is mutilated, lost, stolen or destroyed, the applicable Company shall issue or cause to be issued in exchange and substitution for and upon cancellation thereof (in the case of mutilation), or in lieu of and substitution therefor, a new certificate or instrument, but only upon receipt of evidence reasonably satisfactory to the applicable Company of such loss, theft or destruction. The applicant for a new certificate or instrument under such circumstances shall also pay any reasonable third-party costs (including customary indemnity) associated with the issuance of such replacement Securities.

 

-25-

 

 

6.10 Remedies.

 

(a) In addition to being entitled to exercise all rights provided herein or granted by law, including recovery of damages, Holder and Company will be entitled to specific performance under the Transaction Documents. The parties agree that monetary damages may not be adequate compensation for any loss incurred by reason of any breach of obligations contained in the Transaction Documents and hereby agree to waive and not to assert in any action for specific performance of any such obligation the defense that a remedy at law would be adequate.

 

(b) If the Company shall fail to discharge any covenant, duty or obligation hereunder or under any of the other Transaction Documents, Holder may, in its discretion at any time, for the account and at the expense of the Company, pay any amount or do any act required of Company hereunder or under any of the other Transaction Documents or otherwise lawfully requested by Holder. All costs and expenses incurred by Holder in connection with the taking of any such action shall be reimbursed to Holder by the Company on demand with interest at the highest interest rate allowed by law from the date such payment is made or such costs or expenses are incurred to the date of payment thereof. Any payment made or other action taken by Holder under this clause (b) shall be without prejudice to any right to assert, and without waiver of, any breach of any Transaction Document and without prejudice to Holder’s right to proceed thereafter as provided herein or in any of the other Transaction Documents.

 

(c) The remedies provided in this Agreement and all other Transaction Documents shall be cumulative and in addition to all other remedies available under any Transaction Document, whether at law or in equity (including a decree of specific performance and/or other injunctive relief).

 

(d) Nothing in any Transaction Document shall limit the Holder’s rights to pursue actual and consequential damages for any failure by any Company Party to comply with the terms of this Agreement or any other Transaction Document. 

 

(e) An Event of Default will cause irreparable harm to the Holder and that the remedy at law for any such breach may be inadequate. Therefore, in the event of any such Event of Default, the Holder shall be entitled, in addition to all other available remedies, to an injunction restraining any such breach or any such threatened breach, without the necessity of showing economic loss and without any bond or other security being required.

 

6.11 Marshaling; Payment Set Aside. Holder shall not be under any obligation to marshal any property in favor of the Company or any other party or against or in payment of any amount due under any Transaction Document. To the extent that Company makes a payment or payments to Holder pursuant to any Transaction Document or Holder enforces or exercises its rights thereunder, and such payment or payments or the proceeds of such enforcement or exercise or any part thereof are subsequently invalidated, declared to be fraudulent or preferential, set aside, recovered from, disgorged by or are required to be refunded, repaid or otherwise restored to any Company Party, a trustee, receiver or any other Person under any law (including any bankruptcy law, state or federal law, common law or equitable cause of action), then to the extent of any such restoration the obligation or part thereof originally intended to be satisfied, and all Liens, rights and remedies therefor, shall be revived and continued in full force and effect as if such payment had not been made or such enforcement or setoff had not occurred.

 

6.12 Usury. To the extent it may lawfully do so, the Company hereby agrees not to insist upon or plead or in any manner whatsoever claim, and will resist any and all efforts to be compelled to take the benefit or advantage of, usury laws wherever enacted, now or at any time hereafter in force, in connection with any claim, action or proceeding that may be brought by any Holder Party in order to enforce any right or remedy under any Transaction Document. Notwithstanding any provision to the contrary contained in any Transaction Document, it is expressly agreed and provided that the total liability of the Company under the Transaction Documents for payments in the nature of interest shall not exceed the maximum lawful rate authorized under applicable law (the “Maximum Rate”) and, without limiting the foregoing, in no event shall any rate of interest or default interest, or both of them, when aggregated with any other sums in the nature of interest that any Company Party may be obligated to pay under the Transaction Documents exceed such Maximum Rate. It is agreed that if the maximum contract rate of interest allowed by law and applicable to the Transaction Documents is increased or decreased by statute or any official governmental action subsequent to the date hereof, the new maximum contract rate of interest allowed by law will be the Maximum Rate applicable to the Transaction Documents from the effective date thereof forward, unless such application is precluded by applicable law. If under any circumstances whatsoever, interest in excess of the Maximum Rate is paid by Company to Holder with respect to indebtedness evidenced by the Transaction Documents, such excess shall be applied by Holder to the unpaid principal balance of any such indebtedness or be refunded to the applicable Company, the manner of handling such excess to be at Holder’s election.

 

6.13 Liquidated Damages. Any Company’s obligations to pay any partial liquidated damages or other amounts owing under the Transaction Documents is a continuing obligation of such Company and shall not terminate until all unpaid partial liquidated damages and other amounts have been paid notwithstanding the fact that the instrument or security pursuant to which such partial liquidated damages or other amounts are due and payable shall have been canceled.

 

-26-

 

 

6.14 Further Assurances. The Company Parties agree to take such further actions as Holder shall reasonably request from time to time in connection herewith to evidence, give effect to or carry out this Agreement and the other Transaction Documents and any of the transactions contemplated hereby or thereby.

 

6.15 Interpretation. The parties agree that each of them and/or their respective counsel have reviewed and had an opportunity to revise the Transaction Documents and, therefore, the normal rule of construction to the effect that any ambiguities are to be resolved against the drafting party shall not be employed in the interpretation of any Transaction Document. In addition, each and every reference to share prices and shares of Common Stock in any Transaction Document shall be subject to adjustment for reverse and forward stock splits, stock dividends, stock combinations and other similar transactions of the Common Stock that occur after the date of this Agreement. Except as otherwise expressly provided in any Transaction Document, if the last or appointed day for the taking of any action or the expiration of any right required or granted under any Transaction Document shall not be a Business Day, then such action may be taken or such right may be exercised on the next succeeding Business Day. As used in any Transaction Document, references to the singular will include the plural and vice versa and references to the masculine gender will include the feminine and neuter genders and vice versa, as appropriate. When used in any Transaction Document, unless otherwise expressly provided in such Transaction Document, (a) the words “hereof,” “herein” and “hereunder” and words of similar import refer to such Transaction Document as a whole and not to any particular provision of such Transaction Document, (b) recital, article, section, subsection, schedule and exhibit references are references with respect to such Transaction Document unless otherwise specified, (c) any reference to any agreement shall include a reference to all recitals, appendices, exhibits and schedules to such agreement and, unless the prior written consent of any party is required hereunder and is not obtained, shall be a reference to such agreement as waived, amended, restated, supplemented or otherwise modified and (d) any reference to a specific Regulation shall be to such Regulation, as modified from time to time, together with any successor or replacement Regulation, in each case as in effect at the time of determination. Unless the context otherwise requires, when used in any Transaction Document, the following terms have the following meaning: (u) “execution,” “signed,” “signature” and words of like import shall be deemed to include electronic signatures and the keeping of records in electronic form, each of which shall be of the same legal effect, validity or enforceability as a manually executed signature or the use of a paper-based recordkeeping system, as the case may be, to the extent and as provided for in any applicable Regulation, including the Federal Electronic Signatures in Global and National Commerce Act, the New York State Electronic Signatures and Records Act and any other similar state Regulation based on the Uniform Electronic Transactions Act, (v) “incur” means incur, create, make, issue, assume or otherwise become or remain directly or indirectly liable in respect of or responsible for, in each case whether directly or indirectly, as primary obligor or guarantor or endorser, and the terms “incurrence” and “incurred” and similar derivatives shall have correlative meanings, (w) “knowledge” of the any Company Party means the best knowledge of any officer, director or employee of such Company Party after due inquiry, (x) “including” means “including, without limitation,” (y) “asset” and “property” have the same meaning and mean, “collectively, all rights and interests in tangible and intangible assets and properties, whether real, personal or mixed and including cash, capital stock, revenues, accounts, leasehold interests, contract rights and other rights under Permits and Contractual Obligations” and (z) “documents” and “documentation” have the same meaning and mean “collectively, all documents, drafts, instruments, agreements, indentures, certificates, forms, opinions, powers of attorney, notices, summons, reports, financial statements and other writings, however evidenced, whether in physical or electronic form.” The headings in this Agreement are included for convenience of reference only and will not affect in any way the meaning or interpretation of this Agreement. All references in this Agreement or any other Transaction Document to statutes and regulations shall include all amendments of same and implementing regulations and any successor statutes and regulations; to any instrument or agreement (including any of the Transaction Documents) shall include any and all modifications and supplements thereto and any and all restatements, extensions or renewals thereof to the extent such modifications, supplements, restatements, extensions or renewals of any such documents are permitted by the terms hereof and thereof. An Event of Default shall be deemed to exist at all times during the period commencing on the date that such Event of Default occurs to the date on which such Event of Default is waived in writing pursuant to the relevant Note or, with respect to any Default, is cured within any period of cure expressly provided in the relevant Note. Whenever in any provision of any Transaction Document, any Holder Party is authorized to take or decline to take any action (including making any determination) in the exercise of its “discretion,” such provision shall be understood to mean that such Holder may take or refrain to take such action in its sole discretion. References to times of the day in any Transaction Document shall refer to Eastern Time. In the computation of periods of time from a specified date to a later specified date, the word “from” means “from and including,” the words “to” and “until” each mean “to but excluding” and the word “through” means “to and including.” Time is of the essence of this Agreement and the other Transaction Documents. No provision of this Agreement or any of the other Transaction Documents shall be construed against or interpreted to the disadvantage of any party hereto by any Governmental Authority by reason of such party having or being deemed to have structured, drafted or dictated such provision. “month” (but not “calendar month”) means each period from a date of determination to the day (including the Closing Date itself) in the next calendar month numerically-corresponding to such date (provided, that, if such calendar month does not have any such numerically-corresponding day, such numerically-corresponding day shall be deemed to be the last day of such calendar month).

 

6.16 Waiver of Jury Trial and Certain Other Rights.

 

(a) The parties hereto hereby irrevocably and unconditionally waive, to the fullest extent permitted by applicable Regulations, any right that they may have to trial by jury of any claim or cause of action or in any Proceeding, directly or indirectly based upon or arising out of this Agreement or any Transaction Document (whether based on contract, tort or any other theory). Each party (a) certifies that no representative, agent, or attorney of any other party has represented, expressly or otherwise, that such other parties would not, in the event of litigation, seek to enforce the foregoing waiver and (b) acknowledges that it and the other parties have been induced to enter into this Agreement and the other Transaction Documents by, among other things, the mutual waivers and certifications in this section.

 

(b) The Company acknowledges and agrees that the foregoing waivers are a material inducement to the Holder to enter into and accept this Agreement. The Company has reviewed the foregoing waivers with its legal counsel and has knowingly and voluntarily waived its jury trial rights following consultation with such legal counsel. In the event of litigation, this Agreement may be filed as a written consent to a trial by the court. This Section 6.16 shall not restrict a party from exercising remedies under the UCC or from exercising pre-judgement remedies under applicable Regulations.

Re: Amendment to Warrants to Purchase Common Stock

 

Dear Mr. Kempel:

 

Reference is made to (i) the Warrant to Purchase Common Stock dated October 27, 2025, under which Ascent Partners Fund LLC, a Delaware limited liability company (the “Purchaser”) may purchase up to 3,000,000 shares of common stock of Our Bond, Inc., a Nevada corporation (together with its successors and permitted assigns, the “Company”) at an exercise price of $12.35 for a period of sixteen (16) months from the date of issuance (the “16 Month Warrants”), and (ii) the Warrant to Purchase Common Stock dated October 27, 2025, under which the Purchaser may purchase up to 6,000,000 shares of common stock of the Company at an exercise price of $12.35 for a period of twenty-four (24) months from the date of issuance (the “24 Month Warrants” and together with the 16 Month Warrants, the “Warrants”). Capitalized terms used but not defined herein are used as defined in the Warrants.

 

Subject to the terms and conditions set forth herein, and effective on the date hereof, the Warrants are hereby amended as follows:

 

1. Section 2 of 16 Month Warrants to purchase up to 3,000,000 shares of Common Stock is hereby amended to read as follows:

 

Price. The purchase price at which this Warrant may be exercised shall be an exercise price equal to $1.25 per share adjusted from time to time pursuant to Section 5 (as so adjusted, the “Exercise Price”), until February 27, 2027.”

 

2. Section 2 of 24 Month Warrants to purchase up to 6,000,000 shares of Common Stock is hereby amended to read as follows:

 

Price. This Warrant represents the right to purchase an aggregate of 6,000,000 shares of Common Stock (the “Warrant Shares”), consisting of (i) 1,500,000 Warrant Shares (the “Tranche 1 Warrant Shares”) exercisable at a price equal to $1.25 per share (as adjusted from time to time, the “Tranche 1 Exercise Price”) and (ii) 4,500,000 Warrant Shares (the “Tranche 2 Warrant Shares”) exercisable at a price equal to $2.25 per share (as adjusted from time to time, the “Tranche 2 Exercise Price” and, together with the Tranche 1 Exercise Price, each an “Exercise Price”), in each case until October 27, 2027.”

 

3. Except as expressly amended by this Amendment, all of the terms and conditions of the Warrants remain unchanged and in full force and effect. The Warrants, as amended by this Amendment, are hereby ratified and confirmed in all respects.

 

 

 

 

Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in the Warrants, the Purchase Agreement, or any other Transaction Document, effective as of the date hereof, all warrants to purchase shares of Common Stock of the Company held by the Purchaser or any of its Affiliates, other than the Warrants expressly amended hereby, are hereby terminated, canceled and extinguished in their entirety, and shall be of no further force or effect, with no remaining rights, obligations or liabilities of any kind thereunder, whether accrued or unaccrued; provided, that the Warrants, as amended by this Amendment, shall continue in full force and effect in accordance with their terms.

 

This amendment is a Transaction Document and is limited as written.

 

As of the date first written above, each reference in the Warrants to “this Warrant,” “hereunder,” “hereof,” “herein,” or words of like import, and each reference in the other Transaction Documents to the Warrants (including, without limitation, by means of words like “thereunder,” “thereof” and words of like import), shall refer to the Warrants as modified hereby, and the provisions in this amendment amending the Warrants shall be read together and construed as a single agreement with the Warrants. The execution, delivery and effectiveness of this amendment shall not, except as expressly provided herein, commit or otherwise obligate the Holder to enter into or consider entering into any other consent, waiver or modification of any Transaction Document or make any further purchases or other advances pursuant to any Transaction Documents.

 

In further consideration for the execution of this amendment by the Purchaser and without limiting any rights or remedies the Purchaser or any Purchaser Parties may have, the Company hereby releases each of the Purchaser and the Purchaser Parties (each a “Releasee” and, collectively, the “Releasees”) against any and all claims and from any other Losses of the Company or any Subsidiary thereof, whether or not relating to any Transaction Document, any obligation or liability owing thereunder, any asset of the Company or any of their Subsidiaries or Affiliates, or any legal relationship that exists or may exist between any Releasee and the Company or any Subsidiary of the Company. The Company, for itself and for its Subsidiaries, acknowledges and agrees that it or its Subsidiaries may discover information later that could have affected materially their willingness to agree to the release in this paragraph and that neither such possibility, which it took into account when executing this amendment, nor such discovery, as to which it expressly assumes the risk, shall affect the effectiveness of the release in this paragraph, and waives the benefit of any legal requirement that may provide otherwise.

 

As a Transaction Document, and pursuant to Section 8 (Miscellaneous) of the Warrants, this Amendment is subject to various interpretative, amendment and third party beneficiary and other miscellaneous provisions set forth in the Purchase Agreement that expressly apply to Transaction Documents, located principally in Article VI thereof, including Sections 6.3(d) (No Implied Waivers or Notice Rights), 6.5 (Set off), 6.7 (Severability) and 6.11 (Marshaling, Payments Set Aside) but also Sections 3.1 (Representations and Warranties of the Company Parties (including clause (kk) (AML/CTF Regulations)), 4.14 (Indemnification of Each Purchaser Party) and 6.2 (Fees and Expenses) thereof, which the Company, in the case of representations and warranties, expressly makes herein for the benefit of the Holder whenever those are made under the Purchase Agreement, and, for other provisions, agrees to comply therewith.

 

In addition, without limitation, (a) Section 8(h) (Governing Law) of the Warrants provides that this Amendment shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of the State of Delaware and that Proceedings in respect hereto shall be brought exclusively in the state or federal courts sitting in the City of New York, Borough of Manhattan and (b) in Section 8(i) (Waiver of Jury Trial), the parties thereto (which include the parties hereto) thereby irrevocably and unconditionally waived, to the fullest extent permitted by applicable Regulations, any right that they may have to trial by jury of any claim or cause of action or in any Proceeding, directly or indirectly based upon or arising out of, under or in connection with, this Amendment or the transactions contemplated therein or related thereto (whether founded in contract, tort or any other theory). The parties hereto hereby reaffirm all of these and all other provisions of the Transaction Documents applying to the Transaction Documents as applying to this amendment, all of which are hereby incorporated herein by reference.
