Item 1.01. Entry Into a Material Definitive Agreement.

 

On February 3, 2026, PAVmed Inc. (the “Company”) entered into subscription agreements (the “Subscription Agreements”) with certain accredited investors (the “Investors”) and, pursuant to and concurrently with the execution of the Subscription Agreements, sold to the Investors, for an aggregate purchase price of $30 million, (i) 30,000 shares of the Company’s newly designated Series D Convertible Preferred Stock, par value $0.001 per share (the “Series D Preferred Stock”), and (ii) warrants (the “Warrant”) to purchase an additional 30,000 shares of Series D Preferred Stock, with each investor receiving 100 shares of Series D Preferred Stock and a warrant to purchase 100 shares of Series D Preferred Stock for each $100,000 of its investment (the “Offering”). The initial conversion price of the Series D Preferred Stock is $6.50 per share, subject to adjustment in the event of stock splits, stock dividends, and similar transactions.

 

Concurrently with the Offering, the Company redeemed all 16,962 shares of Series C Preferred Stock outstanding and refinanced all $8,414,890 in principal and interest of its Senior Secured Convertible Note issued in September (the “2022 Note”), in consideration of a cash payment to the holder thereof (the “Holder”) of approximately $22,346,241 (which was made using proceeds from the sale of the Series D Preferred Stock), and the issuance to the Holder of an amended and restated 2022 Note (the “2026 Note”) with a principal amount of $15 million.

 

The Series D Preferred Stock

 

In connection with the Offering, the Company filed with the Secretary of State of the State of Delaware a certificate of designations, which sets forth the resolutions of the Company’s board of directors designating 60,000 shares of Series D Preferred Stock and fixing its terms (the “Certificate of Designation”).

 

The key terms of the Series D Preferred Stock are as follows:

 

Rank. The Series D Preferred Stock is senior to the Common Stock and any other class of the Company’s capital stock that is not by its terms senior to or pari passu with the Series D Preferred Stock. The Series D Preferred Stock is pari passu with the Series B Convertible Preferred Stock, par value $0.001 per share, of the Company (the “Series B Preferred Stock”).

 

Voluntary Conversion. Each share of Series D Preferred Stock is convertible at the option of the holder, subject to the beneficial ownership and primary market limitations described below, into a number of shares of the Company’s common stock equal to $1,000 (the “Stated Value”) divided by the conversion price in effect at the time of the conversion. As noted above, the initial conversion price of the Series D Preferred Stock is $6.50 per share, subject to adjustment in the event of stock splits, stock dividends, and similar transactions. In addition, in the event that on or prior to April 15, 2026, the Company issues shares in a new subseries of Series D Preferred Stock with a lower conversion price, the conversion price of the outstanding shares of Series D Preferred Stock will be reduced to such lower conversion price.

 

Mandatory Conversion. The Series D Preferred Stock will automatically convert into shares of Common Stock upon the earlier of (i) receipt of the stockholder approval (the “Stockholder Approval”) for issuances of common stock upon conversion of the Series D Preferred Stock in excess of the primary market limitation described below or (ii) delivery of written notice by the Company to each holder that the Company has determined that the Stockholder Approval is not required by the rules of Nasdaq (the “Mandatory Conversion Date”). The Company has agreed to hold a special meeting of its stockholders on or prior to April 30, 2026 (the “Stockholder Meeting”) at which it will seek the Stockholder Approval. In connection with the Offering, certain of the Company’s officers and directors and certain Investors representing in the aggregate more than 20% of the issued and outstanding shares of the Company’s common stock as of immediately prior to consummation of the Offering entered into letter agreements pursuant to which they agreed (i) not to sell or dispose of any of their shares of capital stock of the Company prior to the record date for the Stockholder Meeting, and (ii) to vote at the Stockholder Meeting in favor of the proposal in respect of the Stockholder Approval.

 

Dividends. The Company may not pay any dividends or other distributions on shares of any other class or series of capital stock of the Company, other than dividends on shares of Series B Preferred Stock payable in additional shares of Series B Preferred Stock, and other than dividends on the Company’s common stock payable in shares of common stock or common stock equivalents.

 

 
 

 

Voting. On any matter to be acted upon or considered by the stockholders of the Company (other than the Stockholder Approval), each holder shall be entitled to vote on an “as converted” basis, after applying the beneficial ownership and primary market limitations described below and provided that the conversion price will be deemed, solely for the purpose of voting, to be no less than the “Minimum Price” as defined in the rules of The Nasdaq Stock Market LLC (“Nasdaq”). The Series D Preferred Stock will vote together with the common stock as a single class. In addition, the Certificate of Designations contains protective provisions, requiring the Company to obtain the consent of the holders of a majority of the Series D Preferred Stock for certain specified actions.

 

Preferred Director. As long as there are at least 10,000 shares of Series D Preferred Stock outstanding, the holders of Series D Preferred Stock shall have the exclusive right, voting together as a separate class, to appoint and elect one director of PAVmed, and such director’s consent shall be required prior to any optional redemption by PAVmed of the 2026 Note.

 

Liquidation. In the event of any voluntary or involuntary liquidation, dissolution or winding up of the Company (or any Deemed Liquidation Event as defined in the Certificate of Designation), the holders of shares of Series D Preferred Stock then outstanding (pari passu with the Series B Preferred Stock) will be entitled to be paid out of the assets of the Company available for distribution to its stockholders, before any payment shall be made to the holders of Common Stock by reason of their ownership thereof, an amount per share equal to the greater of (i) the Stated Value, plus any dividends accrued but unpaid thereon, or (ii) such amount per share as would have been payable had all shares of Series D Preferred Stock been converted into Common Stock immediately prior to such event.

 

Beneficial Ownership Limitation. The Company will not effect any conversion of the Series D Preferred Stock, and a holder will not have the right to receive dividends or convert any portion of the Series D Preferred Stock, to the extent that, after giving effect to the receipt of dividends or the conversion, the holder (together with such holder’s affiliates, and any persons acting as a group together with such holder or any of the holder’s affiliates) would beneficially own in excess of 4.99% (which may be increased, at the written election of a holder prior to the issuance of any shares of Series D Preferred Stock, up to 19.99%) of the number of shares of outstanding common stock immediately after giving effect to the conversion; provided that such limitation shall cease to apply from and after the Mandatory Conversion Date.

 

Primary Market Limitation. Unless the approval of the Company’s stockholders is not required by the applicable rules of Nasdaq for issuances of common stock in excess of 19.99% of the outstanding common stock as of February 3, 2026 (or, if earlier, the date of the definitive agreement for any transaction aggregated with the sale of the Series D Preferred Stock) (the “Market Limit”), or unless the Company has obtained the Stockholder Approval, the Company will not effect any conversion of the Series D Preferred Stock, and a holder shall not have the right to convert any portion of the Series D Preferred Stock, to the extent that, after giving effect to the receipt of common stock in connection with such conversion, the holder would have received in excess of its pro rata share of the Market Limit.

 

Redemption. At any time and from time to time, from and after February 3, 2029 (or if earlier, the occurrence of a Triggering Event as described below), each holder of the Series D Preferred Stock may cause the Company to redeem all of its outstanding shares of Series D Preferred Stock, or any portion thereof, in cash at a redemption price per share equal to the stated value multiplied (i) 300%, if notice of redemption is delivered on or prior to February 3, 2027, (ii) 400%, if notice of redemption is delivered after February 3, 2027 and on or prior to February 3, 2028, or (iii) 500%, if notice of redemption is delivered after February 3, 2028. A “Triggering Event” includes a Bankruptcy Event (as defined in the Certificate of Designations) or to the extent the 2026 Note remains outstanding, the earlier receipt (or deemed receipt) by the Company of an Event of Default Redemption Notice (as defined in the 2026 Note) pursuant to such note.

 

Charter Amendment. The Company agreed with the holders of the Series D Preferred Stock to seek approval at the Stockholder Meeting of a resolution providing for an amendment to the Company’s Certificate of Incorporation, in form reasonably acceptable to the Purchaser, to permit the removal of any director, with or without cause, by the affirmative vote of the holders of a majority of the outstanding shares of the Company’s common stock (or securities convertible therefor) entitled to vote in elections of the Company’s directors.

 

 
 

 

The Warrants

 

General. The Warrants entitle the holders thereof to purchase an aggregate of 30,000 shares of Series D Preferred (the “Warrant Shares”) at an exercise price of $1,000 per share. The Warrants expire on February 3, 2031.

 

Call Right. Commencing on the publication by Molecular Diagnostic Services Program (MolDx) of a draft local coverage determination that the Esoguard product of Lucid Diagnostics Inc. (“Lucid”), the Company’s subsidiary, will be covered by Medicare, the Warrants will be callable by the Company at a price of $0.001 per Warrant Share. The Company may send written notice to the holders after such condition has been satisfied (but in any event, no earlier than February 28, 2026) and, after receipt of such notice, the holders will have 30 days after the call notice to exercise the Warrants with respect to 50% of the Warrant Shares, and 30 days after receipt of Stockholder Approval (or if later, 30 days after receipt of the call notice) to exercise the Warrants with respect to the remaining 50% of the Warrant Shares.

 

Registration Rights Agreement

 

The Company and the Investors also executed a registration rights agreement (the “Registration Rights Agreement”), pursuant to which the Company agreed to file a registration statement covering the resale of the shares of Common Stock issuable pursuant to the Series D Preferred Stock.

 

The 2026 Note

 

As noted above, concurrently with the consummation of the Offering, the Company issued to the Holder the 2026 Note with a principal amount of $15,000,000. The key terms of the 2026 Note are as follows:

 

General. The 2026 Note accrues interest at a rate of 15.0% per annum, payable in cash quarterly in arrears, and matures on February 3, 2029 (the “Maturity Date”), subject to the right of the noteholders to extend the Maturity Date under certain circumstances. The 2026 Note is required to be senior to all the Company’s other indebtedness, other than certain permitted indebtedness.

 

Security. The 2026 Note is secured by all existing and future assets of the Company and its subsidiaries (but not any existing or future assets of the Company’s subsidiary Lucid), pursuant to the existing security agreement by and between the Company and the Holder (the “Security Agreement”).

 

RedemptionCompany Option. At any time, the Company may redeem all, but not less than all, of the 2026 Note, in cash, at a price equal to the sum of the Conversion Amount (as defined in the 2026 Note) plus the amount of additional interest that would accrue under the 2026 Note assuming that the original outstanding principal of the 2026 Note remained outstanding through and including the Maturity Date (or, if earlier, the twenty-four month anniversary of such date) (the “Make-Whole Amount”).

 

RedemptionChange of Control. In connection with a Change of Control (as defined in the 2026 Note), a noteholder may require us to redeem all, or any portion, of the 2026 Note, in cash, at a price equal to the sum of the Conversion Amount plus the Make-Whole Amount.

In connection with an Event of Default (as described below), the noteholder may require the Company to redeem all or any portion of the 2026 Note, in cash, at a price equal to 115% of the sum of the Conversion Amount plus the Make-Whole Amount. Upon the occurrence of certain Events of Default related to bankruptcy, the Company shall immediately redeem all of the 2026 Note, in cash, at the same redemption price.

 

Events of Default. The 2026 Note provides for certain Events of Default, including, among other things, any breach of the covenants described below and any failure of both Lishan Aklog, M.D., the Company’s Chairman and Chief Executive Officer, to serve as its Chief Executive Officer and Dennis McGrath, the Company’s President and Chief Financial Officer, to serve as its Chief Executive Officer or Chief Financial Officer.

The Company will be subject to certain customary affirmative and negative covenants regarding the rank of the 2026 Note, the incurrence of indebtedness, the existence of liens, the repayment of indebtedness and the making of investments, the payment of cash in respect of dividends, distributions or redemptions, the transfer of assets, the maturity of other indebtedness, transactions with affiliates, changes in collateral and controlled accounts, among other customary matters. The Company also will be subject to financial covenants requiring that (i) the amount of the Company’s available cash will equal or exceed $5,000,000 as of each Measurement Date (as defined in the 2026 Note) (or, for any Measurement Date on or after July 1, 2026, $8 million), and (ii) the ratio of (a) the Outstanding Value of the 2026 Note to (b) the average VWAP of the shares of Lucid’s common stock held by the Company for the preceding 10 business days, will not exceed 65% (or, for any Measurement Date on or after July 1, 2026, 50%), provided that in no event shall the value of the shares of Lucid’s common stock held by the Company have a value of less than $20 million.

 

 
 

 

Voluntary Conversion; Beneficial Ownership Limitation. Any portion of the principal amount of the 2026 Note, plus accrued and unpaid interest and any late charges thereon or other charges due (the “Conversion Amount”), is convertible at any time, in whole or in part, at the noteholder’s option, into shares of the Company’s common stock at an initial fixed conversion price of $450.00 per share, subject to certain adjustments. A noteholder will not have the right to convert any portion of the 2026 Note, to the extent that, after giving effect to such conversion, the noteholder (together with certain of its affiliates and other related parties) would beneficially own in excess of 4.99% of the shares of the Company’s common stock outstanding immediately after giving effect to such conversion (the “Maximum Percentage”). The noteholder may from time to time increase the Maximum Percentage to 9.99%, provided that any such increase will not be effective until the 61st day after delivery of a notice to us of such increase.

Under an Amendment Agreement, dated February 3, 2026 (the “Amendment Agreement”), between the Company and the Holder, the Company and the Holder agreed to the terms and conditions on which the Company would redeem all 16,962 shares of Series C Preferred Stock outstanding and refinanced all $8,414,890 in principal and interest of the 2022 Note. In addition, under this agreement, the Company granted the Holder the right to receive from the Company 300,000 shares of Lucid’s common stock (as adjusted for stock splits, stock dividends, stock combinations, recapitalizations and similar events), upon the earliest of (x) the Maturity Date, (y) the date the 2026 Note no longer remains outstanding and (z) such earlier date as the Company shall notify the Holder in writing, subject to the beneficial ownership limitation described in the Amendment Agreements. The Amendment Agreement also includes customary representations and warranties and customary covenants for an agreement of its type, as well as certain conforming amendments to the transaction documents under which the 2022 Note was issued, a prohibition on variable rate transactions and a mutual release between the parties.

 

Additional Information

 

The offer and sale of the shares of Series D Preferred Stock, and of the shares of Common Stock issuable upon conversion of the shares of Series D Preferred Stock, are exempt from the registration requirements of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”), pursuant to Section 4(a)(2) of the Securities Act and Rule 506 of Regulation D promulgated thereunder because, among other things, the transaction did not involve a public offering, the investors are accredited investors, the investors are taking the securities for investment and not resale and the Company took appropriate measures to restrict the transfer of the securities.

The offer and sale of the 2026 Note, and of the shares of common stock issuable upon conversion of the 2026 Note, are exempt from the registration requirements of the Securities Act, pursuant to Section 3(a)(9) of the Securities Act, because they involve an exchange with the Company’s existing security holders exclusively where no commission or other remuneration is paid or given directly or indirectly for soliciting such exchange.

On any matter presented to the stockholders of the Corporation for their action or consideration at any meeting of stockholders of the Corporation (or by written consent of stockholders in lieu of meeting), other than a proposal to approve the issuance of the Conversion Shares in accordance with the requirements of The Nasdaq Stock Market LLC, each holder of outstanding shares of Series D Preferred Stock shall be entitled to cast the number of votes equal to the number of whole shares of Common Stock into which the shares of Series D Preferred Stock held by such holder are convertible as of the record date for determining stockholders entitled to vote on such matter (it being agreed and understood that in so calculating the number of votes, (1) the Beneficial Ownership Limitation shall be applied in accordance with Section 6(e), (2) the Primary Market Limitation shall be applied in accordance with Section 6(f), and (3) if the Conversion Price is less than the Minimum Price (as defined in the Listing Rules of The Nasdaq Stock Market), the Conversion Price shall be deemed to be the Minimum Price solely for the purposes of this Section 4). Except as provided by law or by the other provisions of this Certificate of Incorporation, holders of Series D Preferred Stock shall vote together with the holders of Common Stock as a single class and on an as-converted to Common Stock basis. In addition, as long as any shares of Series D Preferred Stock are outstanding, the Corporation may not, and the Company shall cause each Controlled Subsidiary not to, without the consent of the Required Majority, (a) amend, alter or repeal any provision of this Certificate of Designation, the Certificate of Incorporation the bylaws of the Corporation or any Controlled Subsidiary or any other document similar to the foregoing, whether by merger, consolidation, transfer or conveyance of substantially all of its assets, or otherwise, in a manner that adversely affects the powers, preferences or rights of the Series D Preferred Stock, (b) increase the number of authorized shares of Series D Preferred Stock, (c) issue, or obligate itself to issue shares of, any additional class or series of capital stock of the Corporation, unless the same ranks junior or pari passu to the Series D Preferred Stock with respect to the payment of dividends or distribution of assets on Liquidation, (d) redeem, purchase or make a liquidation payment with respect to any shares of capital stock of the Corporation or any Controlled Subsidiary (other than the redemption of shares of Series C Preferred Stock), (e) reclassify existing shares of capital stock of the Corporation or any Controlled Subsidiary or any securities or rights convertible or exchangeable into, or exercisable for, capital stock of the Corporation, (f) effect any Liquidation or Deemed Liquidation (other than any transaction described in clause (ii) of the definition of Deemed Liquidation Event with respect to the Designated Subsidiary), (g) voluntarily dissolve, liquidate or wind up the affairs of the Corporation or voluntarily petition for bankruptcy or assignment for the benefit of creditors; (h) make or commit to make capital expenditures of more than $500,000 or aggregate capital expenditures of more than $1,000,000 (other than any capital expenditures made that were committed to as of the Effective Date and, with respect to any Controlled Subsidiary, any capital expenditures paid for from the proceeds of funding received directly by such Controlled Subsidiary); (i) enter into any joint venture, partnership, strategic relationship or similar agreement involving the sharing of profits or revenues; (j) increase the compensation of directors or officers above such director’s or such officer’s compensation as of the date hereof, or pay compensation to a new officer that exceeds the compensation of such officer’s immediate predecessor if the new officer has replaced an existing officer, or pay such new officer more than any current officer other than the Chief Executive Officer, or pay new directors more than what current directors receive, or pay a new director fees that exceed what current directors receive, or award any discretionary award to officers or directors; or (k) agree or commit to do or take any action described in this Section 4; provided that the limitations set forth in clause (f), (h), (i) and (j) shall only apply until the Mandatory Conversion Date.

b) Election of Preferred Director. In addition to the voting rights set out in Section 4(a) above, so long as there are at least 10,000 shares of Series D Preferred Stock outstanding (the “Preferred Director Ownership Condition”), the holders of Series D Preferred Stock shall have the exclusive right, voting together as a separate class, to appoint and elect one (1) director of the Corporation (the “Preferred Director”) irrespective of whether the Corporation has nominated such director. Any Preferred Director appointed and elected as provided in this Section 4(b) may be removed with or without cause by, and only by, the affirmative vote of the holders of a majority of the Series D Preferred Stock, given either at a special meeting of such stockholders duly called by such stockholders for that purpose or pursuant to a written consent of such stockholders, and any such notification may be made by electronic mail directed to the Secretary of the Corporation. In the event that a Preferred Director resigns or is unable to serve as a member of the Board, so long as the Preferred Director Ownership Condition is satisfied, the holders of the Series D Preferred Stock shall have the exclusive right, voting together as a separate class, to appoint and elect a director to fill such vacancy. Any appointment or removal of any Preferred Director shall be effective immediately upon delivery to the Corporation of a notification of the results of the applicable special meeting or upon delivery of the applicable written consent, as the case may be. So long as the Preferred Director Ownership Condition is satisfied, if the holders of the Series D Preferred Stock fail to appoint a Preferred Director (including following the removal or resignation of any such director or the inability of any such director to serve on the Board), then such directorship shall remain vacant until such time as the holders of the Series D Preferred Stock appoint and elect an individual to fill such directorship voting exclusively and together as a separate class, pursuant to the terms of this Section 4(b); and no such directorship may be filled other than by the holders of the Series D Preferred Stock, voting exclusively and together as a separate class, pursuant to the terms of this Section 4(b). If elected, the Preferred Director shall be entitled to the same D&O insurance and indemnification for the Preferred Director’s service on the Board of Directors as is provided to any other non-management member of the Board of Directors and shall also be entitled to reimbursement for reasonable out-of-pocket expenses related to his or her service on the Board of Directors in accordance with the Corporation’s then current policies.

 

c) Preferred Director Consent Right. So long as the Preferred Director Ownership Condition is satisfied, the Company shall not, without the approval of the Board of Directors (including the Preferred Director), exercise its optional redemption right under the Existing Note; amend the Existing Note in a manner that accelerates the maturity of the Existing Note, in whole or in part, or requires the redemption of the Existing Note, in whole or in part, prior to the Maturity Date; or otherwise voluntarily repay or redeem such note (in whole or in part). Upon the Preferred Director Ownership Condition ceasing to be satisfied, any Preferred Director then serving on the Board of Directors shall be added to the class of directors whose term expires at the annual meeting of stockholders in the following calendar year.

Section 5. Liquidation, Dissolution or Winding Up; Certain Mergers, Consolidations and Asset Sales.

 

a) Preferential Payments to Holders of Series D Preferred Stock. In the event of any voluntary or involuntary liquidation, dissolution or winding up of the Corporation (a “Liquidation”) or Deemed Liquidation Event, the holders of shares of Series D Preferred Stock then outstanding shall be entitled to be paid out of the assets of the Corporation available for distribution to its stockholders, before any payment shall be made to the holders of Common Stock by reason of their ownership thereof, and on a pari passu basis with holders of any Parity Stock, an amount per outstanding share equal to the greater of (i) the Stated Value, plus any dividends accrued but unpaid thereon, or (ii) such amount per share as would have been payable had all outstanding shares of Series D Preferred Stock been converted into Common Stock pursuant to Section 6(b) immediately prior to such liquidation, dissolution, winding up or Deemed Liquidation Event (the amount payable pursuant to this sentence is hereinafter referred to as the “Series D Liquidation Amount”). If upon any such liquidation, dissolution or winding up of the Corporation or Deemed Liquidation Event, the assets of the Corporation available for distribution to its stockholders shall be insufficient to pay the holders of shares of Series D Preferred Stock the full amount to which they shall be entitled under this subparagraph a) and to pay the holders of any Parity Stock the full amount to which they are entitled pursuant to the terms of such Parity Stock, the holders of shares of Series D Preferred Stock and any Parity Stock shall share ratably in any distribution of the assets available for distribution in proportion to the respective amounts which would otherwise be payable in respect of the shares held by them upon such distribution if all amounts payable on or with respect to such shares were paid in full.

 

b) Payments to Holders of Common Stock. In the event of any voluntary or involuntary liquidation, dissolution or winding up of the Corporation or Deemed Liquidation Event, after the payment of all preferential amounts required to be paid to the holders of shares of Series D Preferred Stock and any Parity Stock, the remaining assets of the Corporation available for distribution to its stockholders shall be distributed among the holders of shares of Common Stock, pro rata based on the number of shares held by each such holder.

 

c) Deemed Liquidation Events. A “Deemed Liquidation Event” shall mean (i) a merger or consolidation in which the Corporation is a constituent party or a subsidiary of the Corporation is a constituent party and the Corporation issues shares of its capital stock pursuant to such merger or consolidation, provided, however, a Deemed Liquidation Event shall not include any such merger or consolidation involving the Corporation or a subsidiary in which the shares of capital stock of the Corporation outstanding immediately prior to such merger or consolidation continue to represent, or are converted into or exchanged for shares of capital stock that represent, immediately following such merger or consolidation, at least a majority, by voting power, of the capital stock of (1) the surviving or resulting corporation; or (2) if the surviving or resulting corporation is a wholly owned subsidiary of another corporation immediately following such merger or consolidation, the parent corporation of such surviving or resulting corporation; or (ii) the sale, lease, transfer, exclusive license or other disposition, in a single transaction or series of related transactions, by the Corporation or any subsidiary of the Corporation of all or substantially all the assets of the Corporation and its subsidiaries taken as a whole or the sale or disposition (whether by merger, consolidation or otherwise) of one or more subsidiaries of the Corporation if substantially all of the assets of the Corporation and its subsidiaries taken as a whole are held by such subsidiary or subsidiaries, except where such sale, lease, transfer, exclusive license or other disposition is to a wholly owned subsidiary of the Corporation, in each case, only to the extent not a Fundamental Transaction.

 

 Certificate of Designations - 8

 

 

d) Effecting a Deemed Liquidation Event. The Corporation shall not have the power to effect a Deemed Liquidation Event unless the agreement or plan of merger or consolidation for such transaction provides that the consideration payable to the stockholders of the Corporation shall be allocated among the holders of capital stock of the Corporation in accordance with the provisions hereof.

 

Section 6. Conversion

 

a) Conversions at Option of Holder. Each share of Series D Preferred Stock shall be convertible, at any time and from time to time, at the option of the Holder thereof, into that number of shares of Common Stock (subject to the Beneficial Ownership Limitation set forth in Section 6(e) and any Primary Market Limitation set forth in Section 6(f)) determined by dividing the Stated Value of such share of Series D Preferred Stock by the Conversion Price. Holders shall effect conversions by providing the Corporation with the form of conversion notice attached hereto as Annex A (a “Notice of Conversion”) and by surrendering such Holder’s certificate or certificates (if any) for all such shares of Series D Preferred Stock being converted (or, if such Holder alleges that such certificate has been lost, stolen or destroyed, a lost certificate affidavit and agreement reasonably acceptable to the Corporation to indemnify the Corporation against any claim that may be made against the Corporation on account of the alleged loss, theft or destruction of such certificate) to the Corporation at the place designated in such notice. (For purposes hereof, the date upon which both the Notice of Conversion is received and the certificate (if any) is surrendered (or a lost certificate affidavit and an indemnity agreement in a form acceptable to the Corporation is received) is hereafter referred to as the “Optional Conversion Date.”) Within three (3) Trading Days after the Optional Conversion Date, the Corporation shall issue and deliver to such Holder, or to his, her or its nominees, a certificate or certificates for the Conversion Shares issuable upon conversion of such Holder’s Series D Preferred Stock in accordance with the further provisions hereof. If a certificate has not been converted in full, the Corporation shall within three (3) Trading Days after the Share Delivery Date issue to Holder a new certificate representing the shares of Series D Preferred Stock underlying the certificate that was surrendered which were not converted. To the extent that the Beneficial Ownership Limitation contained in Section 6(e) applies to the converting Holder, the determination of whether the Series D Preferred Stock is convertible (in relation to other securities owned by such Holder together with any Affiliates and Attribution Parties) and of how many shares of Series D Preferred Stock are convertible shall be in the sole discretion of such Holder, and the submission of a Notice of Conversion shall be deemed to be such Holder’s determination of whether the shares of Series D Preferred Stock may be converted (in relation to other securities owned by such Holder together with any Affiliates and Attribution Parties) and how many shares of the Series D Preferred Stock are convertible, in each case subject to the Beneficial Ownership Limitation. To ensure compliance with this restriction, each Holder will be deemed to represent to the Corporation each time it delivers a Notice of Conversion that such Notice of Conversion has not violated the restrictions set forth in this Section and the Corporation shall have no obligation to verify or confirm the accuracy of such determination.

 

 Certificate of Designations - 9

 

 

b) Mandatory Conversion. Upon the earlier of (i) receipt of the approval (the “Stockholder Approval”) of the Corporation’s stockholders for issuances of Common Stock upon conversion of the Series D Preferred Stock in excess of the Primary Market Limitation (as defined in Section 6(f) below) or (ii) delivery of written notice by the Corporation to each Holder that it has determined that the Stockholder Approval is not required by the applicable rules of the applicable Trading Market for issuances of Common Stock upon conversion of the Series D Preferred Stock in excess of the Primary Market Limitation (the date of receipt or such approval or delivery of such notice, whichever occurs first, the “Mandatory Conversion Date”), each outstanding share of Series D Preferred Stock will automatically convert into such number of fully paid and non-assessable shares of Common Stock as is determined by dividing the Stated Value by the Conversion Price in effect on the Mandatory Conversion Date (a “Mandatory Conversion”). Within three (3) Trading Days of (x) the date of receipt of the Stockholder Approval, if the applicable shares of Series D Preferred Stock are held in book entry form, or (y) such Holder’s surrender of its certificated Series D Preferred Stock, if the Holder’s Series D Preferred Stock is certificated (or, if such Holder alleges that such certificate has been lost, stolen or destroyed, a lost certificate affidavit and agreement reasonably acceptable to the Corporation to indemnify the Corporation against any claim that may be made against the Corporation on account of the alleged loss, theft or destruction of such certificate), the Corporation shall deliver to each Holder, the Conversion Shares issuable upon conversion of such Holder’s applicable shares of Series D Preferred Stock; provided that, any failure by the Holder to return certificated Series D Preferred Stock, if any, will have no effect on the Mandatory Conversion pursuant to this Section 6(b), which Mandatory Conversion will be deemed to occur immediately upon receipt of the Stockholder Approval or upon delivery of written notice by the Corporation, as applicable.

 

c) Conversion Price. The conversion price for any Series D Preferred Stock shall be $6.50, subject to adjustment herein (the “Conversion Price”).

 

d) Mechanics of Conversion.

 

(i) Delivery of Conversion Shares Upon Conversion. Not later than three (3) Trading Days after each Conversion Date (but, in the case of a Mandatory Conversion, no later than the date of receipt of the Stockholder Approval) (the “Share Delivery Date”), the Corporation shall deliver, or cause to be delivered, to the converting Holder (A) Conversion Shares, which shall be free of restrictive legends and trading restrictions if the Conversion Shares may be sold without the requirement for public information and without volume or manner of sale restrictions pursuant to Rule 144 promulgated under the Securities Act, representing the number of Conversion Shares being acquired upon the conversion of the applicable shares of Series D Preferred Stock, and (B) a bank check in the amount of accrued and unpaid dividends payable in cash, if any. If the Conversion Shares are eligible to be issued without restrictive legends, the Corporation shall, at the request of the converting Holder, deliver the Conversion Shares required to be delivered by the Corporation under this Section 6 electronically through the Depository Trust Company or another established clearing corporation performing similar functions. The Series D Preferred Stock shall not be redeemed for cash and under no circumstances shall the Corporation be required to net cash settle the Series D Preferred Stock, or to pay any liquidated damages on account of any failure to satisfy any of its obligations under this Certificate of Designation, except as expressly set out herein.

 

 Certificate of Designations - 10

 

 

(ii) Failure to Deliver Conversion Shares. If, in the case of any Notice of Conversion, such Conversion Shares are not delivered to or as directed by the applicable Holder by the Share Delivery Date, the Holder shall be entitled to elect by written notice to the Corporation at any time on or before its receipt of such Conversion Shares, to rescind such Conversion, in which event the Corporation shall promptly return to the Holder any original Series D Preferred Stock certificate delivered to the Corporation and the Holder shall promptly return to the Corporation the Conversion Shares issued to such Holder pursuant to the rescinded Conversion Notice. For the avoidance of doubt, this paragraph shall not apply to a Mandatory Conversion.

 

(iii) Obligation Absolute. The Corporation’s obligation to issue and deliver the Conversion Shares upon conversion of Series D Preferred Stock in accordance with the terms hereof are absolute and unconditional, irrespective of any action or inaction by a Holder to enforce the same, any waiver or consent with respect to any provision hereof, the recovery of any judgment against any Person or any action to enforce the same, or any setoff, counterclaim, recoupment, limitation or termination, or any breach or alleged breach by such Holder or any other Person of any obligation to the Corporation or any violation or alleged violation of law by such Holder or any other person, and irrespective of any other circumstance which might otherwise limit such obligation of the Corporation to such Holder in connection with the issuance of such Conversion Shares; provided, however, that such delivery shall not operate as a waiver by the Corporation of any such action that the Corporation may have against such Holder. In the event a Holder shall elect to convert any or all of the Stated Value of its Series D Preferred Stock, the Corporation may not refuse conversion based on any claim that such Holder or anyone associated or affiliated with such Holder has been engaged in any violation of law, agreement or for any other reason, unless an injunction from a court, on notice to Holder, restraining and/or enjoining conversion of all or part of the Series D Preferred Stock of such Holder shall have been sought and obtained, and the Corporation posts a surety bond for the benefit of such Holder in the amount of one hundred fifty percent (150%) of the Stated Value of Series D Preferred Stock which is subject to the injunction, which bond shall remain in effect until the completion of arbitration/litigation of the underlying dispute and the proceeds of which shall be payable to such Holder to the extent it obtains judgment. In the absence of such injunction, the Corporation shall issue Conversion Shares and, if applicable, cash (for accrued and declared and unpaid dividends only), upon a properly noticed conversion.

 

(iv) Reservation of Shares Issuable Upon Conversion. The Corporation covenants that it will at all times reserve and keep available out of its authorized and unissued shares of Common Stock for the sole purpose of issuance upon conversion of the Series D Preferred Stock as herein provided, free from preemptive rights or any other actual contingent purchase rights of Persons other than the Holder (and the other holders of the Series D Preferred Stock), not less than such aggregate number of shares of the Common Stock as shall be issuable (taking into account the adjustments and restrictions of Section 7) upon the conversion of the then outstanding shares of Series D Preferred Stock. The Corporation covenants that all shares of Common Stock that shall be so issuable shall, upon issue, be duly authorized, validly issued, fully paid and nonassessable and, if a Conversion Shares Registration Statement with respect to such shares of Common Stock is then effective under the Securities Act, shall be registered for public resale in accordance with such Conversion Shares Registration Statement.

 

 Certificate of Designations - 11

 

 

(v) Fractional Shares. No fractional shares or scrip representing fractional shares shall be issued upon the conversion of or as dividends on the Series D Preferred Stock. As to any fraction of a share which a Holder would otherwise be entitled to upon such conversion or in respect of any such dividend, the Corporation shall at its election, either pay a cash adjustment in respect of such final fraction in an amount equal to such fraction multiplied by the Conversion Price or round up to the next whole share of Common Stock.

 

(vi) Transfer Taxes and Expenses. The issuance of Conversion Shares on conversion of this Series D Preferred Stock shall be made without charge to any Holder for any documentary stamp or similar taxes that may be payable in respect of the issue or delivery of such Conversion Shares, provided that the Corporation shall not be required to pay any tax that may be payable in respect of any transfer involved in the issuance and delivery of any such Conversion Shares upon conversion in a name other than that of the Holders of such shares of Series D Preferred Stock and the Corporation shall not be required to issue or deliver such Conversion Shares unless or until the Person or Persons requesting the issuance thereof shall have paid to the Corporation the amount of such tax or shall have established to the satisfaction of the Corporation that such tax has been paid. The Corporation shall pay all Transfer Agent fees required for same-day processing of any Notice of Conversion and all fees to the Depository Trust Company (or another established clearing corporation performing similar functions) required for same-day electronic delivery of the Conversion Shares.

e) Beneficial Ownership Limitation. The Corporation shall not effect any conversion of the Series D Preferred Stock, and a Holder shall not have the right to receive dividends hereunder or convert any portion of the Series D Preferred Stock, to the extent that, after giving effect to the receipt of dividends hereunder or conversion set forth on the applicable Notice of Conversion, such Holder (together with such Holder’s Affiliates, and any Persons acting as a group together with such Holder or any of such Holder’s Affiliates (such Persons, “Attribution Parties”)) would beneficially own in excess of the Beneficial Ownership Limitation (as defined below). For purposes of the foregoing sentence, the number of shares of Common Stock beneficially owned by such Holder and its Affiliates and Attribution Parties shall include the number of shares of Common Stock received as dividends or issuable upon conversion of the Series D Preferred Stock 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 Series D Preferred Stock beneficially owned by such 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 Corporation subject to a limitation on conversion or exercise analogous to the limitation contained herein (including, without limitation, the Series D Preferred Stock) beneficially owned by such Holder or any of its Affiliates or Attribution Parties. Except as set forth in the preceding sentence, for purposes of this Section 6(e), beneficial ownership shall be calculated in accordance with Section 13(d) of the Exchange Act and the rules and regulations promulgated thereunder, it being acknowledged by the Holder that the Corporation is not representing to the Holder that such calculation is in compliance with Section 13(d) of the Exchange Act and the Holder is solely responsible for any schedules required to be filed in accordance therewith (other than as it relates to a Holder relying on the number of shares issued and outstanding as provided by the Corporation pursuant to this Section). In addition, a determination as to any group status as contemplated above shall be determined in accordance with Section 13(d) of the Exchange Act and the rules and regulations promulgated thereunder. For purposes of this Section 6(e), in determining the number of outstanding shares of Common Stock, a Holder may rely on the number of outstanding shares of Common Stock as stated in the most recent of the following: (i) the Corporation’s most recent periodic or annual report filed with the Commission, as the case may be, (ii) a more recent public announcement by the Corporation or (iii) a more recent written notice by the Corporation or the Transfer Agent setting forth the number of shares of Common Stock outstanding. Upon the written or oral request (which may be via email) of a Holder, the Corporation shall within one Trading Day confirm orally and in writing to such Holder the number of shares of Common Stock then outstanding. The “Beneficial Ownership Limitation” shall be 4.99% (or, at the written election of any Holder delivered to the Corporation pursuant to the terms of Section 9 prior to the issuance of any shares of Series D Preferred Stock, 19.99%) of the number of shares of the Common Stock outstanding immediately after giving effect to the issuance of shares of Common Stock issuable upon conversion of Series D Preferred Stock held by the applicable Holder. A Holder, upon at least sixty-one (61) days advance notice to the Corporation, may terminate, increase or decrease the Beneficial Ownership Limitation provisions of this Section 6(e); provided, however, that the Holder shall not be entitled to increase above 19.99% or terminate the limitation contained in this Section 6(e) if the Holder has acquired (or if any of the Holder’s Attribution Parties has indirectly acquired) the Series D Preferred Stock with the purpose or effect of changing the control of the Corporation. The limitations contained in this Section 6(e) shall apply to a successor holder of Series D Preferred Stock, and shall cease to apply from and after the Mandatory Conversion Date.

 

f) Primary Market Limitation. Unless the Stockholder Approval is not required by the applicable rules of the applicable Trading Market for issuances of Common Stock upon conversion of the Series D Preferred Stock in excess of the Primary Market Limitation (as defined below), or the Corporation has obtained such approval, the Corporation shall not effect any conversion of the Series D Preferred Stock, and a Holder shall not have the right to receive dividends hereunder or convert any portion of the Series D Preferred Stock, to the extent that, after giving effect to the receipt of dividends hereunder or conversion set forth on the applicable Notice of Conversion, the Holder would have received in respect of its shares of Series D Preferred Stock in excess of its pro rata share of the Primary Market Limitation (as defined below). For purposes of the foregoing sentence, the Holder’s pro rata share of the Primary Market Limitation shall be equal to (i) the original purchase price paid to the Corporation for all the shares of Series D Preferred Stock acquired by the Holder (and not subsequently disposed of, other than pursuant to a conversion hereunder), divided by (ii) the aggregate original purchase price paid to the Corporation for all the outstanding shares of Series D Preferred Stock and all other securities aggregated with the Series D Preferred Stock for the purposes of the applicable rules of the applicable Trading Market. The “Primary Market Limitation” shall be 19.99% of the number of shares of the Common Stock outstanding immediately before the first sale of Series D Preferred Stock (or the first sale of any other securities aggregated with the Series D Preferred Stock for the purposes of the applicable rules of the applicable Trading Market, if earlier). The limitations contained in this paragraph shall apply to a successor holder of the Series D Preferred Stock, and shall cease to apply from and after the Mandatory Conversion Date.

Section 7. Certain Adjustments

 

a) In the event that on or prior to April 15, 2026, the Corporation issues additional shares of preferred stock in the same series as the Series D Preferred Stock (e.g., Series D-1, Series D-2, etc.), with a conversion price that is lower than the Conversion Price, then the Conversion Price hereunder for the Series D Preferred Stock shall be reduced, concurrently with such issuance, to such lower conversion price.

 

b) Stock Dividends and Stock Splits. If the Corporation, at any time while this Series D Preferred Stock is outstanding: (i) pays a stock dividend or otherwise makes a distribution or distributions payable in shares of Common Stock on shares of Common Stock or any other Common Stock Equivalents (which, for avoidance of doubt, shall not include any shares of Common Stock issued by the Corporation upon conversion of, or payment of a dividend on, this Series D Preferred Stock), (ii) subdivides outstanding shares of Common Stock into a larger number of shares, (iii) combines (including by way of a reverse stock split) outstanding shares of Common Stock into a smaller number of shares, or (iv) issues, in the event of a reclassification of shares of the Common Stock, any shares of capital stock of the Corporation, then the Conversion Price shall be multiplied by a fraction of which the numerator shall be the number of shares of Common Stock (excluding any treasury shares of the Corporation) outstanding immediately before such event, and of which the denominator shall be the number of shares of Common Stock outstanding immediately after such event. Any adjustment made pursuant to this Section 7(a) shall become effective immediately after the record date for the determination of stockholders entitled to receive such dividend or distribution and shall become effective immediately after the effective date in the case of a subdivision, combination or re-classification.

 

c) Pro Rata Distributions. During such time as this Series D Preferred Stock is outstanding, if the Corporation declares or makes any dividend or other distribution of its assets (or rights to acquire its assets) to holders of shares of Common Stock, by way of return of capital or otherwise (including, without limitation, any distribution of cash, stock or other securities, property or options by way of a dividend, spin off, reclassification, corporate rearrangement, scheme of arrangement or other similar transaction) (a “Distribution”), at any time after the issuance of this Series D Preferred Stock, then, in each such case, the Holder shall be entitled to participate in such Distribution to the same extent that the Holder would have participated therein if the Holder had held the number of shares of Common Stock acquirable upon complete conversion of this Series D Preferred Stock (without regard to any limitations on conversion hereof, including without limitation, the Beneficial Ownership Limitation) immediately before the date of which a record is taken for such Distribution, 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 participation in such Distribution (provided, however, to the extent that the Holder’s right to participate in any such Distribution would result in the Holder exceeding the Beneficial Ownership Limitation or any Primary Market Limitation, then the Holder shall not be entitled to participate in such Distribution to such extent (or in the beneficial ownership of any shares of Common Stock as a result of such Distribution to such extent) and the portion of such Distribution shall be held in abeyance for the benefit of the Holder until such time, if ever, as its right thereto would not result in the Holder exceeding the Beneficial Ownership Limitation or any Primary Market Limitation).

d) Fundamental Transaction. If, at any time while this Series D Preferred Stock is outstanding and other than in connection with a Liquidation, including a Deemed Liquidation Event, (i) the Corporation, directly or indirectly, in one or more related transactions effects any merger or consolidation of the Corporation with or into another Person, (ii) any, direct or indirect, purchase offer, tender offer or exchange offer (whether by the Corporation or another Person) is completed pursuant to which holders of Common Stock are permitted to sell, tender or exchange their shares for other securities, cash or property and has been accepted by the holders of fifty percent (50%) or more of the outstanding Common Stock, (iii) the Corporation, directly or indirectly, in one or more related transactions effects any reclassification, reorganization or recapitalization of the Common Stock or any compulsory share exchange pursuant to which the Common Stock is effectively converted into or exchanged for other securities, cash or property, or (iv) the Corporation, directly or indirectly, in one or more related transactions consummates a stock or share purchase agreement or other business combination (including, without limitation, a reorganization, recapitalization, spin-off or scheme of arrangement) with another Person whereby such other Person acquires more than fifty percent (50%) of the outstanding shares of Common Stock (not including any shares of Common Stock held by the other Person or other Persons making or party to, or associated or affiliated with the other Persons making or party to, such stock or share purchase agreement or other business combination) (each a “Fundamental Transaction”), then, upon any subsequent conversion of this Series D Preferred Stock, the Holder shall have the right to receive, for each Conversion Share that would have been issuable upon such conversion immediately prior to the occurrence of such Fundamental Transaction, the number of shares of Common Stock of the successor or acquiring corporation or of the Corporation, if it is the surviving corporation, and/or any additional consideration (the “Alternate Consideration”) receivable as a result of such Fundamental Transaction by a holder of the number of shares of Common Stock for which this Series D Preferred Stock is convertible immediately prior to such Fundamental Transaction. For purposes of any such conversion, the determination of the Conversion Price shall be appropriately adjusted to apply to such Alternate Consideration based on the amount of Alternate Consideration issuable in respect of one share of Common Stock in such Fundamental Transaction, and the Corporation shall apportion the Conversion Price among the Alternate Consideration in a reasonable manner reflecting the relative value of any different components of the Alternate Consideration. If holders of Common Stock are given any choice as to the securities, cash or property to be received in a Fundamental Transaction, then the Holder shall be given the same choice as to the Alternate Consideration it receives upon any conversion of this Series D Preferred Stock following such Fundamental Transaction. To the extent necessary to effectuate the foregoing provisions, any successor to the Corporation or surviving entity in such Fundamental Transaction shall file a new Certificate of Designation with the same terms and conditions and issue to the Holders new preferred stock consistent with the foregoing provisions and evidencing the Holders’ right to convert such preferred stock into Alternate Consideration. The Corporation shall cause any successor entity in a Fundamental Transaction in which the Corporation is not the survivor (the “Successor Entity”) to assume in writing all of the obligations of the Corporation under this Certificate of Designation and the other Transaction Documents in accordance with the provisions of this Section 7(c) pursuant to written agreements in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to the Holder and approved by the Holder (without unreasonable delay) prior to such Fundamental Transaction and shall, at the option of the holder of this Series D Preferred Stock, deliver to the Holder in exchange for this Series D Preferred Stock a security of the Successor Entity evidenced by a written instrument substantially similar in form and substance to this Series D Preferred Stock which is convertible for a corresponding number of shares of capital stock of such Successor Entity (or its parent entity) equivalent to the shares of Common Stock acquirable and receivable upon conversion of this Series D Preferred Stock (without regard to any limitations on the conversion of this Series D Preferred Stock) prior to such Fundamental Transaction, and with a conversion price which applies the conversion price hereunder to such shares of capital stock (but taking into account the relative value of the shares of Common Stock pursuant to such Fundamental Transaction and the value of such shares of capital stock, such number of shares of capital stock and such conversion price being for the purpose of protecting the economic value of this Series D Preferred Stock immediately prior to the consummation of such Fundamental Transaction), and which is reasonably satisfactory in form and substance to the Holder. Upon the occurrence of any such 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 Designation and the other Transaction Documents referring to the “Corporation” shall refer instead to the Successor Entity), and may exercise every right and power of the Corporation and shall assume all of the obligations of the Corporation under this Certificate of Designation and the other Transaction Documents with the same effect as if such Successor Entity had been named as the Corporation herein.

 

e) Calculations. All calculations under this Section 7 shall be made to the nearest cent or the nearest 1/100th of a share, as the case may be. For purposes of this Section 7, the number of shares of Common Stock deemed to be issued and outstanding as of a given date shall be the sum of the number of shares of Common Stock (excluding any treasury shares of the Corporation) issued and outstanding.

Whenever the Conversion Price is adjusted pursuant to any provision of this Section 7, the Corporation shall promptly deliver to each Holder a notice setting forth the Conversion Price after such adjustment and setting forth a brief statement of the facts requiring such adjustment.

 

(ii) Notice to Allow Conversion by Holder. If (A) the Corporation shall declare a dividend (or any other distribution in whatever form) on the Common Stock, (B) the Corporation shall declare a special nonrecurring cash dividend on or a redemption of the Common Stock, (C) the Corporation shall authorize the granting to all holders of the Common Stock of rights or warrants to subscribe for or purchase any shares of capital stock of any class or of any rights, (D) the approval of any stockholders of the Corporation shall be required in connection with any reclassification of the Common Stock, any consolidation or merger to which the Corporation is a party, any sale or transfer of all or substantially all of the assets of the Corporation, or any compulsory share exchange whereby the Common Stock is converted into other securities, cash or property or (E) the Corporation shall authorize the voluntary or involuntary dissolution, liquidation or winding up of the affairs of the Corporation, then, in each case, the Corporation shall cause to be filed at each office or agency maintained for the purpose of conversion of this Series D Preferred Stock, and shall cause to be delivered to each Holder at its last address as it shall appear upon the stock books of the Corporation, at least twenty (20) calendar days prior to the applicable record or effective date hereinafter specified, a notice stating (x) the date on which a record is to be taken for the purpose of such dividend, distribution, redemption, rights or warrants, or if a record is not to be taken, the date as of which the holders of the Common Stock of record to be entitled to such dividend, distributions, redemption, rights or warrants are to be determined or (y) the date on which such reclassification, consolidation, merger, sale, transfer or share exchange is expected to become effective or close, and the date as of which it is expected that holders of the Common Stock of record shall be entitled to exchange their shares of the Common Stock for securities, cash or other property deliverable upon such reclassification, consolidation, merger, sale, transfer or share exchange, provided that the failure to deliver such notice or any defect therein or in the delivery thereof shall not affect the validity of the corporate action required to be specified in such notice. To the extent that any notice provided hereunder constitutes, or contains, material, non-public information regarding the Corporation or any of the Subsidiaries, the Corporation shall simultaneously file such notice with the Commission pursuant to a Current Report on Form 8-K. The Holder shall remain entitled to convert the Conversion Amount of this Series D Preferred Stock (or any part hereof) during the twenty (20) day period commencing on the date of such notice through the effective date of the event triggering such notice except as may otherwise be expressly set forth herein.

Following receipt by the Company of the Holder Optional Redemption Notice, the Company shall send written notice to such Holder not less than 7 days prior to the Redemption Date, indicating the Redemption Price and the manner of and place designated for surrender of the shares of Series D Preferred Stock to be redeemed. If, on the Redemption Date, the Company is prohibited by law from redeeming all shares of Series D Preferred Stock indicated in the Holder Optional Redemption Notice, then the Company shall immediately provide written notice to the Holder of such prohibition and redeem such Series D Preferred Stock to the fullest extent not so prohibited.

Upon such payment in full, such shares of Series D Preferred Stock will be deemed to have been redeemed and all designations, rights, preferences, powers, qualifications, restrictions and limitations of such redeemed shares of Series D Preferred Stock shall forthwith terminate

Warrant Shares: [●] Issue Date: [●]
   
Warrant Number: [●]  

 

THIS PREFERRED STOCK PURCHASE WARRANT (the “Warrant”) certifies that, for value received, [●] or its assigns (the “Holder”) is entitled, upon the terms and subject to the limitations on exercise and the conditions hereinafter set forth, at any time on or prior to the close of business on the earlier of five (5) year anniversary of the Issue Date (the “Termination Date,” provided that, if such date is not a Business Day, the Termination Date shall be the immediately following Business Day), but not thereafter, to subscribe for and purchase from PAVmed Inc., a Delaware corporation (the “Company”), up to [●] shares (as subject to adjustment hereunder, the “Warrant Shares”) of the Company’s Series D Convertible Preferred Stock, par value $0.001 per share (the “Preferred Stock”). The purchase price of one share of Preferred Stock under this Warrant shall be equal to the Exercise Price, as defined in Section 2(b). The Warrant Shares shall be shares of the same Preferred Stock Sub-Series (as defined in the Subscription Agreement) as the Preferred Stock Sub-Series (the “Base Series”) acquired by the Holder at the same Closing in connection with which this Warrant was issued, including, for avoidance of doubt, having the same Stated Value and Conversion Price as the Base Series and being subject to any adjustment to the Conversion Price that may have occurred to the Base Series prior to the issuance of the Warrant Shares.

 

Commencing on the later of (i) January 31, 2026 and (ii) the publication by Molecular Diagnostic Services Program (MolDx) of a draft local coverage determination that Lucid Diagnostics Inc.’s Esoguard product will be covered by Medicare (the “Call Condition”), this Warrant shall be callable by the Company at a price of $0.001 per Warrant Share (the “Call Price”). The Company may send written notice to the Holder after the Call Condition has been satisfied (the “Call Notice”) and, after receipt of a valid Call Notice, the Holder shall have (A) until the thirtieth (30th) day following receipt of such notice to deliver a Notice of Exercise (defined below) to the Company with respect to fifty percent (50%) of the Warrant Shares, and (B) until the thirtieth (30th) day following receipt of Stockholder Approval to deliver a Notice of Exercise to the Company with respect to the remaining fifty percent (50%) of the Warrant Shares (the periods described in clauses (A) and (B), the “Exercise Periods”). If the Purchaser shall fail to deliver a Notice of Exercise to the Company, during either such Exercise Period, this Warrant shall be void and terminated with respect to the applicable Warrant Shares subject to such Exercise Period, save for the Holder’s right to payment of the applicable Call Price for this Warrant.

 

 

 

 

This Warrant is one of several Preferred Stock Purchase Warrants of substantially similar character (the “Warrants”) issued by the Company in a private placement offering (the “Offering”) made by the Company pursuant to that certain subscription package dated February 2, 2026 (as amended from time to time, the “Subscription Package”).

 

Section 1. Definitions. Capitalized terms used and not otherwise defined herein shall have the meanings set forth in the of Certificate of Designations of Preferences, Rights and Limitations of Series D Convertible Preferred Stock dated February 3, 2026 (as amended from time to time, the “Certificate of Designations”). In addition to the terms defined in the Certificate of Designations, and the terms defined elsewhere in this Warrant, the following terms have the meanings set forth below:

 

(a) “Business Day” means any day except any Saturday, any Sunday, any day which is a federal legal holiday in the United States or any day on which banking institutions in the State of New York are authorized or required by law or other governmental action to close.

(c) “Securities Act” means the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, and the rules and regulations promulgated thereunder.

Section 2. Exercise.

 

(a) Exercise of Warrant. Exercise of the purchase rights represented by this Warrant may be made, in whole or in part, at any time or times on or after the Issue Date and on or before the Termination Date by delivery to the Company of a duly executed facsimile copy (or e-mail attachment) of the Notice of Exercise in the form annexed hereto (the “Notice of Exercise”). Within two (2) Business Days following the date of exercise as aforesaid, the Holder shall deliver the aggregate Exercise Price (as defined in Section 2(b) below) for the Warrant Shares specified in the applicable Notice of Exercise by wire transfer or cashier’s check drawn on a United States bank. No ink-original Notice of Exercise shall be required, nor shall any medallion guarantee (or other type of guarantee or notarization) of any Notice of Exercise be required. Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, the Holder shall not be required to physically surrender this Warrant to the Company until the Holder has purchased all of the Warrant Shares available hereunder and the Warrant has been exercised in full, in which case, the Holder shall surrender this Warrant to the Company for cancellation within five (5) Business Days of the date on which the final Notice of Exercise is delivered to the Company. Partial exercises of this Warrant resulting in purchases of a portion of the total number of Warrant Shares available hereunder shall have the effect of lowering the outstanding number of Warrant Shares purchasable hereunder in an amount equal to the applicable number of Warrant Shares purchased. The Holder and the Company shall maintain records showing the number of Warrant Shares purchased and the date of such purchases. The Company shall deliver any objection to any Notice of Exercise within two (2) Business Days of receipt of such notice. The Holder and any assignee, by acceptance of this Warrant, acknowledge and agree that, by reason of the provisions of this paragraph, following the purchase of a portion of the Warrant Shares hereunder, the number of Warrant Shares available for purchase hereunder at any given time may be less than the amount stated on the face hereof.

 

 

 

 

(b) Exercise Price. The exercise price per share of Preferred Stock under this Warrant shall be $1,000 (the “Exercise Price”).

 

(c) Mechanics of Exercise.

 

(i) Delivery of Warrant Shares Upon Exercise. The Company shall cause the Warrant Shares purchased hereunder to be transmitted by the Company or its transfer agent to the Holder by delivery of a physical certificate for (or statement evidencing the issuance in book entry form of) the number of Warrant Shares to which the Holder is entitled pursuant to such exercise, registered in the Company’s share register in the name of the Holder or its designee, to the address specified by the Holder in the Notice of Exercise, by the date that is five (5) Business Days after the delivery to the Company of the Notice of Exercise (such date, the “Warrant Share Delivery Date”), provided that the aggregate Exercise Price is received in full by the Warrant Share Delivery Date. Upon delivery of the Notice of Exercise, the Holder shall be deemed for all corporate purposes to have become the holder of record of the Warrant Shares with respect to which this Warrant has been exercised, irrespective of the date of delivery of the Warrant Shares, provided that the aggregate Exercise Price is received in full by the Warrant Share Delivery Date.

 

(ii) Delivery of New Warrants Upon Exercise. If this Warrant shall have been exercised in part, the Company shall, at the request of a Holder and upon surrender of this Warrant, at the time of delivery of the Warrant Shares, deliver to the Holder a new Warrant evidencing the rights of the Holder to purchase the unpurchased Warrant Shares called for by this Warrant, which new Warrant shall in all other respects be identical with this Warrant.

 

(iii) No Fractional Shares or Scrip. No fractional shares or scrip representing fractional shares shall be issued upon the exercise of this Warrant. As to any fraction of a share which the Holder would otherwise be entitled to purchase upon such exercise, the Company shall, at its election, either pay a cash adjustment in respect of such final fraction in an amount equal to such fraction multiplied by the Exercise Price or round up to the next whole share.

 

(iv) Charges, Taxes and Expenses. Issuance of Warrant Shares shall be made without charge to the Holder for any issue or transfer tax or other incidental expense in respect of the issuance of such Warrant Shares, all of which taxes and expenses shall be paid by the Company, and such Warrant Shares shall be issued in the name of the Holder or in such name or names as may be directed by the Holder; provided, however, that in the event that Warrant Shares are to be issued in a name other than the name of the Holder, the Notice of Exercise shall be accompanied by the Assignment Form in the form annexed hereto duly executed by the Holder, and the Company may require, as a condition thereto, the payment of a sum sufficient to reimburse it for any transfer tax incidental thereto. The Company shall pay all Transfer Agent fees required for same-day processing of any Notice of Exercise and all fees to the Depository Trust Company (or another established clearing corporation performing similar functions) required for same-day electronic delivery of the Warrant Shares.

 

(v) Delivery of Shares of Common Stock In Lieu of Warrant Shares. If the Notice of Exercise is delivered after the Mandatory Conversion Date, the Company may, in lieu of causing the Warrant Shares purchased hereunder to be transmitted by the Company or its transfer agent to the Holder in accordance with Section 2(c)(i), issue to the Holder the number of shares of Common Stock that would be issuable to the Holder upon conversion of the to-be-issued Warrant Shares into shares of Common Stock (without giving effect to the Beneficial Ownership Limitation and Primary Market Limitation), but only to the extent doing so would not cause the Holder’s beneficial ownership percentage in the Company to exceed such Holder’s then-applicable Beneficial Ownership Limitation or Primary Market Limitation, if any. For avoidance of doubt, to the extent the issuance of shares of Common Stock pursuant to this Section 2(c)(v), would cause the Holder’s beneficial ownership percentage in the Company to exceed such Holder’s then-applicable Beneficial Ownership Limitation or Primary Market Limitation, the Company shall satisfy its obligations pursuant to Section 2(c)(i) by issuing Warrant Shares.

 

 

 

 

Section 3. Transfer of Warrant.

 

(a) Transferability. Subject to compliance with any applicable securities laws and the conditions set forth in Section 3(d) hereof, this Warrant and all rights hereunder (including, without limitation, any registration rights) are transferable, in whole or in part, upon surrender of this Warrant at the principal office of the Company or its designated agent, together with (x) a written assignment of this Warrant substantially in the form attached hereto duly executed by the Holder or its agent or attorney, and (y) funds sufficient to pay any transfer taxes payable upon the making of such transfer. Upon such surrender and, if required, such payment, the Company shall execute and deliver a new Warrant or Warrants in the name of the assignee or assignees, as applicable, and in the denomination or denominations specified in such instrument of assignment, and shall issue to the assignor a new Warrant evidencing the portion of this Warrant not so assigned, and this Warrant shall promptly be cancelled. Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, the Holder shall not be required to physically surrender this Warrant to the Company unless the Holder has assigned this Warrant in full, in which case, the Holder shall surrender this Warrant to the Company within two (2) Business Days of the date on which the Holder delivers an assignment form to the Company assigning this Warrant in full. The Warrant, if properly assigned in accordance herewith, may be exercised by a new holder for the purchase of Warrant Shares without having a new Warrant issued.

 

(b) New Warrants. This Warrant may be divided or combined with other Warrants upon presentation hereof at the aforesaid office of the Company, together with a written notice specifying the names and denominations in which new Warrants are to be issued, signed by the Holder or its agent or attorney.

All Warrants issued on transfers or exchanges shall be dated the Issue Date of this Warrant and shall be identical with this Warrant except as to the number of Warrant Shares issuable pursuant thereto.

 

(c) Warrant Register. The Company shall register this Warrant, upon records to be maintained by the Company for that purpose (the “Warrant Register”), in the name of the record Holder hereof from time to time. The Company may deem and treat the registered Holder of this Warrant as the absolute owner hereof for the purpose of any exercise hereof or any distribution to the Holder, and for all other purposes, absent actual notice to the contrary.

 

(d) Securities Law Restrictions. If, at the time of the surrender of this Warrant in connection with any transfer of this Warrant, the transfer of this Warrant shall not be either (i) registered pursuant to an effective registration statement under the Securities Act and under applicable state securities or blue sky laws or (ii) eligible for resale without volume or manner-of-sale restrictions or current public information requirements pursuant to Rule 144, the Company may require, as a condition of allowing such transfer, that the Holder or transferee of this Warrant, as the case may be, provide to the Company an opinion of counsel selected by the transferor and reasonably acceptable to the Company, the form and substance of which opinion shall be reasonably satisfactory to the Company, to the effect that such transfer does not require registration of such transferred Warrant under the Securities Act, together with such documents or instruments as may be required by the Company, its transfer agent or its counsel in connection therewith (including any representations, certifications or covenants by the Holder or its broker).

 

 

 

 

(e) Representation by the Holder. The Holder, by the acceptance hereof, and as of the date of each Notice of Exercise delivered hereunder, represents and warrants that (i) it is an accredited investor as defined in Regulation D under the Securities Act and (ii) it is acquiring this Warrant and, upon any exercise hereof, will acquire the Warrant Shares issuable upon such exercise, for its own account and not with a view to or for distributing or reselling such Warrant Shares or any part thereof in violation of the Securities Act or any applicable state securities law, except pursuant to sales registered or exempted under the Securities Act.

 

Section 4. Miscellaneous.

 

(a) No Rights as Stockholder Until Exercise. This Warrant does not entitle the Holder to any voting rights, dividends or other rights as a stockholder of the Company prior to the exercise hereof as set forth in Section 2.

 

(b) Loss, Theft, Destruction or Mutilation of Warrant. The Company covenants that upon receipt by the Company of evidence reasonably satisfactory to it of the loss, theft, destruction or mutilation of this Warrant or any stock certificate relating to the Warrant Shares, and in case of loss, theft or destruction, of indemnity or security reasonably satisfactory to it (which, in the case of the Warrant, shall not include the posting of any bond), and upon surrender and cancellation of such Warrant or stock certificate, if mutilated, the Company will make and deliver a new Warrant or stock certificate of like tenor and dated as of such cancellation, in lieu of such Warrant or stock certificate.

 

(c) Saturdays, Sundays, Holidays, etc. If the last or appointed day for the taking of any action or the expiration of any right required or granted herein shall not be a Business Day, then, such action may be taken or such right may be exercised on the next succeeding Business Day.

 

(d) Authorized Shares.

 

(i) The Company covenants that, during the period the Warrant is outstanding, it will reserve from its authorized and unissued Preferred Stock and Common Stock a sufficient number of shares to provide for the issuance of the Warrant Shares upon the exercise of any purchase rights under this Warrant and for the conversion of such Warrant Shares into shares of Common Stock. The Company further covenants that its issuance of this Warrant shall constitute full authority to its officers who are charged with the duty of issuing the necessary Warrant Shares upon the exercise of the purchase rights under this Warrant. The Company will take all such reasonable action as may be necessary to assure that such Warrant Shares may be issued as provided herein without violation of any applicable law or regulation. The Company covenants that all Warrant Shares which may be issued upon the exercise of the purchase rights represented by this Warrant will, upon exercise of the purchase rights represented by this Warrant and payment for such Warrant Shares in accordance herewith, be duly authorized, validly issued, fully paid and nonassessable and free from all taxes, liens and charges created by the Company in respect of the issue thereof (other than taxes in respect of any transfer occurring contemporaneously with such issue).

 

 

 

 

(ii) Except and to the extent as waived or consented to by the Holder, the Company shall not by any action, including, without limitation, amending its certificate of incorporation or through any reorganization, transfer of assets, consolidation, merger, 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 Warrant, but will at all times in good faith assist in the carrying out of all such terms and in the taking of all such actions as may be necessary or appropriate to protect the rights of Holder as set forth in this Warrant against impairment. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the Company will (i) not increase the par value of any Warrant Shares above the amount payable therefor upon such exercise immediately prior to such increase in par value, (ii) take all such action as may be necessary or appropriate in order that the Company may validly and legally issue fully paid and nonassessable Warrant Shares upon the exercise of this Warrant and (iii) use commercially reasonable efforts to obtain all such authorizations, exemptions or consents from any public regulatory body having jurisdiction thereof, as may be, necessary to enable the Company to perform its obligations under this Warrant.

 

(e) Jurisdiction. All questions concerning the construction, validity, enforcement and interpretation of this Warrant shall be determined in accordance with the provisions of the Subscription Agreement.

 

(f) Restrictions. The Holder acknowledges that the Warrant Shares acquired upon the exercise of this Warrant will have restrictions upon resale imposed by state and federal securities laws.

 

(g) Nonwaiver and Expenses. No course of dealing or any delay or failure to exercise any right hereunder on the part of Holder shall operate as a waiver of such right or otherwise prejudice the Holder’s rights, powers or remedies, notwithstanding the fact that all rights hereunder terminate on the Termination Date. Without limiting any other provision of this Warrant or the Subscription Agreement, if the Company willfully and knowingly fails to comply with any provision of this Warrant, which results in any material damages to the Holder, the Company shall pay to the Holder such amounts as shall be sufficient to cover any costs and expenses including, but not limited to, reasonable attorneys’ fees, including those of appellate proceedings, incurred by the Holder in collecting any amounts due pursuant hereto or in otherwise enforcing any of its rights, powers or remedies hereunder.

 

(h) Notices. Any notice, request or other document required or permitted to be given or delivered to the Holder by the Company shall be delivered in accordance with the notice provisions of the Subscription Agreement.

 

(i) Limitation of Liability. No provision hereof, in the absence of any affirmative action by the Holder to exercise this Warrant to purchase Warrant Shares, and no enumeration herein of the rights or privileges of the Holder, shall give rise to any liability of the Holder for the purchase price of any Common Stock or as a stockholder of the Company, whether such liability is asserted by the Company or by creditors of the Company.

 

(j) Remedies. The Holder, in addition to being entitled to exercise all rights granted by law, including recovery of damages, will be entitled to specific performance of its rights under this Warrant. The Company agrees that monetary damages would not be adequate compensation for any loss incurred by reason of a breach by it of the provisions of this Warrant and hereby agrees to waive and not to assert the defense in any action for specific performance that a remedy at law would be adequate.

 

(k) Successors and Assigns. Subject to applicable securities laws, this Warrant and the rights and obligations evidenced hereby shall inure to the benefit of and be binding upon the successors and permitted assigns of the Company and the successors and permitted assigns of Holder. The provisions of this Warrant are intended to be for the benefit of any Holder from time to time of this Warrant and shall be enforceable by the Holder or holder of Warrant Shares.

 

(l) Amendment. This Warrant may be modified or amended or the provisions hereof waived with the written consent of the Holder.

 

(m) Severability. Wherever possible, each provision of this Warrant shall be interpreted in such manner as to be effective and valid under applicable law, but if any provision of this Warrant shall be prohibited by or invalid under applicable law, such provision shall be ineffective to the extent of such prohibition or invalidity, without invalidating the remainder of such provisions or the remaining provisions of this Warrant.

Amended and Restated Senior Secured Convertible Note

 

Issuance Date: September 8, 2022   Original Principal Amount: U.S. $15,000,000
Amendment Date: February __, 2026    

 

FOR VALUE RECEIVED, PAVmed Inc., a Delaware corporation (the “Company”), hereby promises to pay to the order of [●] or its registered assigns (“Holder”) the amount set forth above as the Original Principal Amount (as reduced pursuant to the terms hereof pursuant to redemption, conversion or otherwise, the “Principal”) when due, whether upon the Maturity Date, or upon acceleration, redemption or otherwise (in each case in accordance with the terms hereof) and to pay interest (“Interest”) on the Outstanding Principal Value of this Note at the applicable Interest Rate (as defined below) from the date set forth above as the Issuance Date (the “Issuance Date”) until the same becomes due and payable, whether upon each Interest Date, the Maturity Date, or upon acceleration, conversion, redemption or otherwise (in each case in accordance with the terms hereof). This Senior Secured Convertible Note (including all Senior Secured Convertible Notes issued in exchange, transfer or replacement hereof, this “Note”) is one of an issue of Senior Secured Convertible Notes (collectively, the “Notes”, and such other Senior Secured Convertible Notes, the “Other Notes”) issued pursuant to that certain Amendment Agreement, dated February 3, 2026 (the “Amendment Date”), by and between the Company and the Holder (the “Amendment Agreement”), which, among other things, amends and restates that certain Senior Secured Convertible Note (the “Original Note”) originally issued on September 8, 2022 pursuant to (i) Section 1 of that certain Securities Purchase Agreement, dated as of March 31, 2022 (the “Subscription Date”), by and among the Company and the investors (the “Buyers”) referred to therein, as amended from time to time (the “Securities Purchase Agreement”), and (ii) the Company’s Registration Statement on Form S-3 (File number 333-261814) (the “Registration Statement”). Certain capitalized terms used herein are defined in Section 33.

 

1. PAYMENTS OF PRINCIPAL. On the Maturity Date, the Company shall pay to the Holder an amount in cash representing the Outstanding Value of this Note as of the Maturity Date. Other than as specifically permitted by this Note, the Company may not prepay any portion of the Outstanding Principal Value, accrued and unpaid Interest or accrued and unpaid Late Charges on the Outstanding Principal Value and Interest, if any. Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, with respect to any conversion or redemption hereunder, as applicable, the Company shall convert or redeem, as applicable, First, all accrued and unpaid Late Charges on any Outstanding Principal Value and Interest hereunder and under any other Notes held by the Holder and all other amounts owed to the Holder under any other Transaction Document, Second, all accrued and unpaid Interest hereunder and under any other Notes held by such Holder, Third, all other amounts (other than the Outstanding Principal Value) outstanding under any other Notes held by such Holder and, Fourth, the Outstanding Principal Value (plus the Make-Whole Amount, if applicable) hereunder and under any other Notes held by such Holder, in each case, allocated pro rata among this Note and such other Notes held by such Holder.

 

 

 

 

2. INTEREST; INTEREST RATE.

 

(a) Interest on this Note shall commence accruing on the Issuance Date and shall be computed on the Outstanding Principal Value of this Note and on basis of a 360-day year and twelve 30-day months and shall be payable in arrears on each Interest Date and shall compound each calendar month and shall be payable in accordance with the terms of this Note. Interest shall be paid on each Interest Date in cash.

 

(b) Prior to the payment of Interest on an Interest Date, Interest on this Note shall accrue at the Interest Rate and be payable by way of inclusion of the Interest in the Conversion Amount on each Conversion Date, if any, in accordance with Section 3(b)(i) or upon any redemption in accordance with Section 13 or any required payment upon any Bankruptcy Event of Default. From and after the occurrence and during the continuance of any Event of Default (regardless of whether the Company has delivered an Event of Default Notice to the Holder or if the Holder has delivered an Event of Default Redemption Notice to the Company or otherwise notified the Company that an Event of Default has occurred), the Interest Rate shall automatically be increased to eighteen percent (18.0%) per annum (the “Default Rate”). In the event that such Event of Default is subsequently cured (and no other Event of Default then exists, including, without limitation, for the Company’s failure to pay such Interest at the Default Rate on the applicable Interest Date), 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 Interest as calculated and unpaid at such increased rate during the continuance of such Event of Default shall continue to apply to the extent relating to the days after the occurrence of such Event of Default through and including the date of such cure of such Event of Default.

 

3. CONVERSION OF NOTES. At any time after the Issuance Date, this Note 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 3.

 

(a) Conversion Right. Subject to the provisions of Section 3(d), at any time or times on or after the Issuance Date, the Holder shall be entitled to convert any portion of the outstanding and unpaid Conversion Amount (as defined below) into validly issued, fully paid and non-assessable shares of Common Stock in accordance with Section 3(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.

 

2

 

 

(b) Conversion Rate. The number of shares of Common Stock issuable upon conversion of any Conversion Amount pursuant to Section 3(a) shall be determined by dividing (x) such Conversion Amount by (y) the Conversion Price (the “Conversion Rate”).

 

(i) “Conversion Amount” means the sum of (A) the portion of the Outstanding Principal Value of this Note to be converted, redeemed or otherwise with respect to which this determination is being made, (B) accrued and unpaid Interest with respect to such Outstanding Principal Value of this Note, (C) accrued and unpaid Late Charges with respect to such Outstanding Principal Value of this Note and Interest, and (D) any other unpaid amounts pursuant to the Transaction Documents, if any.

 

(ii) “Conversion Price” means, as of any Conversion Date or other date of determination, $450.00, subject to adjustment as provided herein.

 

(c) Mechanics of Conversion.

 

(i) Optional Conversion. To convert any Conversion Amount into shares of Common Stock on any date (a “Conversion Date”), the Holder shall deliver (whether via electronic mail or otherwise), for receipt on or prior to 6:00 p.m., New York time, on such date, a copy of an executed notice of conversion in the form attached hereto as Exhibit I (each, a “Conversion Notice”) to the Company. If required by Section 3(c)(iii), within two (2) Trading Days following a conversion of this Note as aforesaid, the Holder shall surrender this Note to a nationally recognized overnight delivery service for delivery to the Company (or an indemnification undertaking with respect to this Note in the case of its loss, theft or destruction as contemplated by Section 20(b)). On or before the first (1st) Trading Day following the date of receipt of a Conversion Notice (it being agreed that the date of receipt shall be determined in accordance with Section 9(f) of the Securities Purchase Agreement), the Company shall transmit by electronic mail an acknowledgment, in the form attached hereto as Exhibit II, of confirmation of receipt of such Conversion Notice and representation as to whether such shares of Common Stock may then be resold pursuant to Rule 144 or an effective and available registration statement (each, an “Acknowledgement”) to the 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 second (2nd) Trading Day following the date on which the Company has received 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’s (“DTC”) Fast Automated Securities Transfer Program (“FAST”), credit such aggregate number of shares of Common Stock to which the Holder shall be entitled pursuant to such conversion to the 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 FAST, upon the request of the Holder, issue and deliver (via reputable overnight courier) to the address as specified in the Conversion Notice, a certificate, registered in the name of the Holder or its designee, for the number of shares of Common Stock to which the Holder shall be entitled pursuant to such conversion. If this Note is physically surrendered for conversion pursuant to Section 3(c)(iii) and the Outstanding Principal Value of this Note is greater than the Outstanding Principal Value portion of the Conversion Amount being converted, then the Company shall as soon as practicable and in no event later than two (2) Business Days after receipt of this Note and at its own expense, issue and deliver to the Holder (or its designee) a new Note (in accordance with Section 20(d)) representing the Outstanding Principal Value of this Note not converted. The Person or Persons entitled to receive the shares of Common Stock issuable upon a conversion of this Note shall be treated for all purposes as the record holder or holders of such shares of Common Stock on the Conversion Date.

 

3

 

 

(ii) Company’s Failure to Timely Convert. If the Company shall fail, for any reason or for no reason, on or prior to the applicable Share Delivery Deadline, if the Transfer Agent is not participating in FAST, to issue and deliver to the Holder (or its designee) a certificate for the number of shares of Common Stock to which the Holder is entitled and register such shares of Common Stock on the Company’s share register or, if the Transfer Agent is participating in FAST, to credit the balance account of the Holder or the Holder’s designee with DTC for such number of shares of Common Stock to which the Holder is entitled upon the Holder’s conversion of this Note (as the case may be) (a “Conversion Failure”), and if on or after such Share Delivery Deadline the Holder acquires (in an open market transaction, stock loan or otherwise) shares of Common Stock corresponding to all or any portion of the number of shares of Common Stock issuable upon such conversion that the Holder is entitled to receive from the Company and has not received from the Company in connection with such Conversion Failure, as applicable (a “Buy-In”), then, in addition to all other remedies available to the Holder, the Company shall, within two (2) Business Days after receipt of the Holder’s request and in the Holder’s discretion, either: (I) pay cash to the Holder in an amount equal to the Holder’s total purchase price (including brokerage commissions, stock loan costs and other out-of-pocket expenses, if any) for the shares of Common Stock so acquired (including, without limitation, by any other Person in respect, or on behalf, of the Holder) (the “Buy-In Price”), at which point the Company’s obligation to so issue and deliver such certificate (and to issue such shares of Common Stock) or credit the balance account of such Holder or such Holder’s designee, as applicable, with DTC for the number of shares of Common Stock to which the Holder is entitled upon the 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 the Holder a certificate or certificates representing such shares of Common Stock or credit the balance account of such Holder or such Holder’s designee, as applicable, with DTC for the number of shares of Common Stock to which the Holder is entitled upon the Holder’s conversion hereunder (as the case may be) and pay cash to the 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) (the “Buy-In Payment Amount”). Nothing shall limit the Holder’s right to pursue any other remedies available to it hereunder, at law or in equity, including, without limitation, a decree of specific performance and/or injunctive relief with respect to the Company’s failure to timely deliver certificates representing shares of Common Stock (or to electronically deliver such shares of Common Stock) upon the conversion of this Note as required pursuant to the terms hereof.

 

(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 Note and the principal amount of the Notes held by such holders (the “Registered Notes”). The entries in the Register shall be conclusive and binding for all purposes absent manifest error. The Company and the holders of the Notes shall treat each Person whose name is recorded in the Register as the owner of a Note for all purposes (including, without limitation, the right to receive payments of Outstanding Principal Value and Interest hereunder) notwithstanding notice to the contrary. A Registered Note may be assigned, transferred or sold in whole or in part only by registration of such assignment or sale on the Register. Upon its receipt of a written request to assign, transfer or sell all or part of any Registered Note by the holder thereof, the Company shall record the information contained therein in the Register and issue one or more new Registered Notes in the same aggregate principal amount as the principal amount of the surrendered Registered Note 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 all or part of any Registered Note 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 3, following conversion of any portion of this Note, if any, in accordance with the terms hereof, the Holder shall not be required to physically surrender this Note to the Company unless (A) the full Conversion Amount represented by this Note is being converted (in which event this Note shall be delivered to the Company following conversion thereof as contemplated by Section 3(c)(i)) or (B) the Holder has provided the Company with prior written notice (which notice may be included in a Conversion Notice) requesting reissuance of this Note upon physical surrender of this Note. The Holder and the Company shall maintain records showing the Outstanding Principal Value, Interest 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 the Holder and the Company, so as not to require physical surrender of this Note upon conversion. If the Company does not update the Register to record such Outstanding Principal Value, Interest 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.

(iv) Pro Rata Conversion; Disputes. In the event that the Company receives a Conversion Notice from more than one holder of Notes for the same Conversion Date and the Company can convert some, but not all, of such portions of the Notes submitted for conversion, the Company, subject to Section 3(d), shall convert from each holder of Notes electing to have Notes converted on such date a pro rata amount of such holder’s portion of its Notes submitted for conversion based on the principal amount of Notes submitted for conversion on such date by such holder relative to the aggregate principal amount of all Notes submitted for conversion on such date. In the event of a dispute as to the number of shares of Common Stock issuable to the Holder in connection with a conversion of this Note, the Company shall issue to the Holder the number of shares of Common Stock not in dispute and resolve such dispute in accordance with Section 25.

 

(d) Limitations on Conversions. The Company shall not effect the conversion of any portion of this Note, and the Holder shall not have the right to convert any portion of this Note pursuant to the terms and conditions of this Note and any such conversion shall be null and void and treated as if never made, to the extent that after giving effect to such conversion, the Holder together with the other Attribution Parties collectively would beneficially own in excess of 4.99% (the “Maximum Percentage”) of the shares of Common Stock outstanding immediately after giving effect to such conversion. For purposes of the foregoing sentence, the aggregate number of shares of Common Stock beneficially owned by the Holder and the other Attribution Parties shall include the number of shares of Common Stock held by the Holder and all other Attribution Parties plus the number of shares of Common Stock issuable upon conversion of this Note with respect to which the determination of such sentence is being made, but shall exclude shares of Common Stock which would be issuable upon (A) conversion of the remaining, nonconverted portion of this Note beneficially owned by the Holder or any of the other Attribution Parties and (B) exercise or conversion of the unexercised or nonconverted portion of any other securities of the Company (including, without limitation, any convertible notes or convertible preferred stock or warrants) beneficially owned by the Holder or any other Attribution Party subject to a limitation on conversion or exercise analogous to the limitation contained in this Section 3(d)(i). For purposes of this Section 3(d)(i), beneficial ownership shall be calculated in accordance with Section 13(d) of the 1934 Act. For purposes of determining the number of outstanding shares of Common Stock the Holder may acquire upon the conversion of this Note without exceeding the Maximum Percentage, the Holder may rely on the number of outstanding shares of Common Stock as reflected in (x) the Company’s most recent Annual Report on Form 10-K, Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q, Current Report on Form 8-K or other public filing with the SEC, as the case may be, (y) a more recent public announcement by the Company or (z) any other written notice by the Company or the Transfer Agent, if any, setting forth the number of shares of Common Stock outstanding (the “Reported Outstanding Share Number”). If the Company receives a Conversion Notice from the Holder at a time when the actual number of outstanding shares of Common Stock is less than the Reported Outstanding Share Number, the Company shall notify the Holder in writing of the number of shares of Common Stock then outstanding and, to the extent that such Conversion Notice would otherwise cause the Holder’s beneficial ownership, as determined pursuant to this Section 3(d)(i), to exceed the Maximum Percentage, the Holder must notify the Company of a reduced number of shares of Common Stock to be purchased pursuant to such Conversion Notice. For any reason at any time, upon the written or oral request of the Holder, the Company shall within one (1) Business Day confirm orally and in writing or by electronic mail to the Holder the number of shares of Common Stock then outstanding. In any case, the number of outstanding shares of Common Stock shall be determined after giving effect to the conversion or exercise of securities of the Company, including this Note, by the Holder and any other Attribution Party since the date as of which the Reported Outstanding Share Number was reported. In the event that the issuance of shares of Common Stock to the Holder upon conversion of this Note results in the Holder and the other Attribution Parties being deemed to beneficially own, in the aggregate, more than the Maximum Percentage of the number of outstanding shares of Common Stock (as determined under Section 13(d) of the 1934 Act), the number of shares so issued by which the Holder’s and the other Attribution Parties’ aggregate beneficial ownership exceeds the Maximum Percentage (the “Excess Shares”) shall be deemed null and void and shall be cancelled ab initio, and the Holder shall not have the power to vote or to transfer the Excess Shares. Upon delivery of a written notice to the Company, the Holder may from time to time increase (with such increase not effective until the sixty-first (61st) day after delivery of such notice) or decrease the Maximum Percentage to any other percentage not in excess of 9.99% as specified in such notice; provided that (i) any such increase in the Maximum Percentage will not be effective until the sixty-first (61st) day after such notice is delivered to the Company and (ii) any such increase or decrease will apply only to the Holder and the other Attribution Parties and not to any other holder of Notes that is not an Attribution Party of the Holder. For purposes of clarity, the shares of Common Stock issuable pursuant to the terms of this Note in excess of the Maximum Percentage shall not be deemed to be beneficially owned by the Holder for any purpose including for purposes of Section 13(d) or Rule 16a-1(a)(1) of the 1934 Act. No prior inability to convert this Note pursuant to this paragraph shall have any effect on the applicability of the provisions of this paragraph with respect to any subsequent determination of convertibility. The provisions of this paragraph shall be construed and implemented in a manner otherwise than in strict conformity with the terms of this Section 3(d)(i) to the extent necessary to correct this paragraph (or any portion of this paragraph) which may be defective or inconsistent with the intended beneficial ownership limitation contained in this Section 3(d)(i) or to make changes or supplements necessary or desirable to properly give effect to such limitation. The limitation contained in this paragraph may not be waived and shall apply to a successor holder of this Note.

 

4. RIGHTS UPON EVENT OF DEFAULT.

 

(a) Event of Default. Each of the following events shall constitute an “Event of Default” and each of the events in clauses (viii), (ix) and (x) shall constitute a “Bankruptcy Event of Default”:

(b) Notice of an Event of Default; Redemption Right. Upon the occurrence of an Event of Default with respect to this Note or any Other Note, the Company shall within one (1) Business Day deliver written notice thereof via electronic mail and overnight courier (with next day delivery specified) (an “Event of Default Notice”) to the Holder. At any time after the earlier of the Holder’s receipt of an Event of Default Notice and the Holder becoming aware of the occurrence of an Event of Default (such earlier date, the “Event of Default Right Commencement Date”) and ending (such ending date, the “Event of Default Right Expiration Date”, and each such period, an “Event of Default Redemption Right Period”) on the twentieth (20th) Trading Day after the later of (x) the date such Event of Default is cured and (y) the Holder’s receipt of an Event of Default Notice that includes (I) a reasonable description of the applicable Event of Default, (II) a certification as to whether, in the opinion of the Company, such Event of Default is capable of being cured and, if applicable, a reasonable description of any existing plans of the Company to cure such Event of Default and (III) a certification as to the date the Event of Default occurred and, if cured on or prior to the date of such Event of Default Notice, the applicable Event of Default Right Expiration Date, the Holder may require the Company to redeem (regardless of whether such Event of Default has been cured on or prior to the Event of Default Right Expiration Date) all or any portion of this Note by delivering written notice thereof (the “Event of Default Redemption Notice”) to the Company, which Event of Default Redemption Notice shall indicate the portion of this Note the Holder is electing to redeem. Each portion of this Note subject to redemption by the Company pursuant to this Section 4(b) shall be redeemed by the Company at a price equal to the product of (A) the sum of (I) Conversion Amount to be redeemed and (II) the applicable Make-Whole Amount as of the date of the Event of Default Redemption Notice multiplied by (B) the Redemption Premium (the “Event of Default Redemption Price”). Redemptions required by this Section 4(b) shall be made in accordance with the provisions of Section 13. To the extent redemptions required by this Section 4(b) are deemed or determined by a court of competent jurisdiction to be prepayments of this Note by the Company, such redemptions shall be deemed to be voluntary prepayments. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Section 4(b), but subject to Section 3(d), until the Event of Default Redemption Price (together with any Late Charges thereon) is paid in full, the Conversion Amount submitted for redemption under this Section 4(b) (together with any Late Charges thereon) may be converted, in whole or in part, by the Holder into Common Stock pursuant to the terms of this Note. In the event of the Company’s redemption of any portion of this Note under this Section 4(b), the 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 the Holder. Accordingly, any redemption premium due under this Section 4(b) is intended by the parties to be, and shall be deemed, a reasonable estimate of the Holder’s actual loss of its investment opportunity and not as a penalty. Any redemption upon an Event of Default shall not constitute an election of remedies by the Holder, and all other rights and remedies of the Holder shall be preserved.

 

(c) Mandatory Redemption upon Bankruptcy Event of Default. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, and notwithstanding any conversion that is then required or in process, upon any Bankruptcy Event of Default, whether occurring prior to or following the Maturity Date, the Company shall immediately pay to the Holder an amount in cash representing (i) the sum of (I) the Outstanding Value of this Note and (II) the applicable Make-Whole Amount as of the date of the Bankruptcy Event of Default, multiplied by (ii) the Redemption Premium, in addition to any and all other amounts due hereunder, without the requirement for any notice or demand or other action by the Holder or any other person or entity, provided that the Holder may, in its sole discretion, waive such right to receive payment upon a Bankruptcy Event of Default, in whole or in part, and any such waiver shall not affect any other rights of the Holder hereunder, including any other rights in respect of such Bankruptcy Event of Default, any right to conversion, and any right to payment of the Event of Default Redemption Price or any other Redemption Price, as applicable.

5. RIGHTS UPON FUNDAMENTAL TRANSACTION.

 

(a) Assumption. The Company shall 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 Note and the other Transaction Documents in accordance with the provisions of this Section 5(a) pursuant to written agreements in form and substance satisfactory to the Holder and approved by the Holder prior to such Fundamental Transaction, including agreements to deliver to each holder of Notes in exchange for such Notes a security of the Successor Entity evidenced by a written instrument substantially similar in form and substance to the Notes, including, without limitation, having a principal amount and interest rate equal to the principal amounts then outstanding and the interest rates of the Notes held by such holder, having similar conversion rights as the Notes and having similar ranking and security to the Notes, and satisfactory to the Holder and (ii) the Successor Entity (including its Parent Entity) is a publicly traded corporation whose common stock is 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 Note 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 Note and the other Transaction Documents with the same effect as if such Successor Entity had been named as the Company herein. Upon consummation of a Fundamental Transaction, the Successor Entity shall deliver to the Holder confirmation that there shall be issued upon conversion or redemption of this Note 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 6 and 17, which shall continue to be receivable thereafter)) issuable upon the conversion or redemption of the Notes 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 the Holder would have been entitled to receive upon the happening of such Fundamental Transaction had this Note been converted immediately prior to such Fundamental Transaction (without regard to any limitations on the conversion of this Note), as adjusted in accordance with the provisions of this Note. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Required Holders may elect, at their sole option, by delivery of written notice to the Company to waive this Section 5(a) to permit the Fundamental Transaction without the assumption of this Note. The provisions of this Section 5 shall apply similarly and equally to successive Fundamental Transactions and shall be applied without regard to any limitations on the conversion of this Note.

 

11

 

 

(b) Notice of a 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 electronic mail and overnight courier to the Holder (a “Change of Control Notice”). At any time during the period beginning after the Holder’s receipt of a Change of Control Notice or the Holder becoming aware of a Change of Control if a Change of Control Notice is not delivered to the Holder in accordance with the immediately preceding sentence (as applicable) and ending on twenty (20) Trading Days after the later of (A) the date of consummation of such Change of Control or (B) the date of receipt of such Change of Control Notice or (C) the date of the announcement of such Change of Control, the Holder may require the Company to redeem all or any portion of this Note by delivering written notice thereof (“Change of Control Redemption Notice”) to the Company, which Change of Control Redemption Notice shall indicate the Conversion Amount the Holder is electing to redeem. The portion of this Note subject to redemption pursuant to this Section 5 shall be redeemed by the Company in cash at a price equal to the sum of (A) the Conversion Amount being redeemed on such applicable Change of Control Redemption Date (as defined below), and (B) the applicable Make-Whole Amount as of such applicable Change of Control Redemption Date (the “Change of Control Redemption Price”). Redemptions required by this Section 5 shall be made in accordance with the provisions of Section 13 and shall have priority to payments to stockholders in connection with such Change of Control. To the extent redemptions required by this Section 5(b) are deemed or determined by a court of competent jurisdiction to be prepayments of this Note by the Company, such redemptions shall be deemed to be voluntary prepayments. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Section 5, but subject to Section 3(d), until the Change of Control 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 the Holder into Common Stock pursuant to Section 9. In the event of the Company’s redemption of any portion of this Note under this Section 5(b), the 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 the 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 the Holder’s actual loss of its investment opportunity and not as a penalty.

7. RIGHTS UPON ISSUANCE OF OTHER SECURITIES.

 

(a) Adjustment of Conversion Price upon Subdivision or Combination of Common Stock. If the Company at any time on or after the Amendment Date subdivides (by any stock split, stock dividend, stock combination, recapitalization or other similar transaction) one or more classes of its outstanding shares of Common Stock into a greater number of shares, the Conversion Price in effect immediately prior to such subdivision will be proportionately reduced. If the Company at any time on or after the Issuance Date combines (by any stock split, stock dividend, stock combination, recapitalization or other similar transaction) one or more classes of its outstanding shares of Common Stock into a smaller number of shares, the Conversion Price in effect immediately prior to such combination will be proportionately increased. Any adjustment pursuant to this Section 7(a) shall become effective immediately after the effective date of such subdivision or combination. If any event requiring an adjustment under this Section 7(a) occurs during the period that a Conversion Price is calculated hereunder, then the calculation of such Conversion Price shall be adjusted appropriately to reflect such event.

 

(b) Calculations. All calculations under this Section 7 shall be made by rounding to the nearest cent or the nearest 1/100th of a share, as applicable. The number of shares of Common Stock outstanding at any given time shall not include shares owned or held by or for the account of the Company, and the disposition of any such shares shall be considered an issue or sale of Common Stock.

 

(c) Voluntary Adjustment by Company. Subject to the rules and regulations of the Principal Market, the Company may at any time during the term of this Note, with the prior written consent of the Required Holders (as defined in the Securities Purchase Agreement), reduce the then current Conversion Price of each of the Notes to any amount and for any period of time deemed appropriate by the board of directors of the Company.

 

8. [Intentionally Omitted]

 

9. [Intentionally Omitted]

 

10. NONCIRCUMVENTION. The Company hereby covenants and agrees that the Company will not, by amendment of its Certificate 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 Note, and will at all times in good faith carry out all of the provisions of this Note and take all action as may be required to protect the rights of the Holder of this Note. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing or any other provision of this Note or the other Transaction Documents, the Company (a) shall not increase the par value of any shares of Common Stock receivable upon conversion of this Note above the Conversion Price then in effect, and (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 nonassessable shares of Common Stock upon the conversion of this Note.

 

13

 

 

11. RESERVATION OF AUTHORIZED SHARES.

 

(a) Reservation. So long as any Notes remain outstanding, the Company shall at all times reserve for issuance upon conversion hereof 35,000 shares of Common Stock (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 of the Notes based on the original principal amount of the Notes held by each holder on the Initial Closing 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 Notes, 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 Notes shall be allocated to the remaining holders of Notes, pro rata based on the principal amount of the Notes then held by such holders.

 

(b) Insufficient Authorized Shares. If, notwithstanding Section 11(a), and not in limitation thereof, at any time while any of the Notes 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 Notes at least a number of shares of Common Stock equal to the Required Reserve Amount (an “Authorized Share Failure”), then the Company shall immediately use its reasonable best efforts to 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 Notes 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 sixty (60) 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 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. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if any such time of an Authorized Share Failure, the Company is able to obtain the written consent of a majority of the shares of its issued and outstanding shares of Common Stock to approve the increase in the number of authorized shares of Common Stock, the Company may satisfy this obligation by obtaining such consent and submitting for filing with the SEC an Information Statement on Schedule 14C.

 

14

 

 

12. COMPANY OPTIONAL REDEMPTION.

 

(a) At any time after date hereof the Company shall have the right to redeem all, but not less than all, of the Conversion Amount then remaining under this Note (the “Company Optional Redemption Amount”) on the Company Optional Redemption Date (each as defined below) (a “Company Optional Redemption”). The portion of this Note subject to redemption pursuant to this Section 12 shall be redeemed by the Company in cash at a price (the “Company Optional Redemption Price”) equal to 100% of the sum of (A) the Conversion Amount being redeemed as of the Company Optional Redemption Date, and (B) the applicable Make-Whole Amount as of the Company Optional Redemption Date. The Company may exercise its right to require redemption under this Section 12 by delivering a written notice thereof by facsimile or electronic mail and overnight courier to all, but not less than all, of the holders of Notes (the “Company Optional Redemption Notice” and the date all of the holders of Notes 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 twenty (20) Trading Days following the Company Optional Redemption Notice Date, and (y) state the aggregate Conversion Amount of the Notes which is being redeemed in such Company Optional Redemption from the Holder and all of the other holders of the Notes pursuant to this Section 12 (and analogous provisions under the Other Notes) on the Company Optional Redemption Date. Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, 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 the Holder into shares of Common Stock pursuant to Section 3. All Conversion Amounts converted by the Holder after the Company Optional Redemption Notice Date shall reduce the Company Optional Redemption Amount of this Note required to be redeemed on the Company Optional Redemption Date. Redemptions made pursuant to this Section 12 shall be made in accordance with Section 13. In the event of the Company’s redemption of any portion of this Note under this Section, the 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 the Holder. Accordingly, any redemption premium due under this Section 12 is intended by the parties to be, and shall be deemed, a reasonable estimate of the 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 Event of Default has occurred and continuing, but any Event of Default shall have no effect upon the Holder’s right to convert this Note in its discretion.

 

15

 

 

(b) Pro Rata Redemption Requirement. If the Company elects to cause a Company Optional Redemption of this Note pursuant to this Section 12, then it must simultaneously take the same action with respect to all of the Other Notes.

 

13. REDEMPTIONS.

 

(a) Mechanics. The Company shall deliver the applicable Event of Default Redemption Price to the Holder in cash within five (5) Business Days after the Company’s receipt of the Holder’s Event of Default Redemption Notice. If the Holder has submitted a Change of Control Redemption Notice in accordance with Section 5(b), the Company shall deliver the applicable Change of Control Redemption Price to the 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 (such date, a “Change of Control Redemption Date”). The Company shall deliver the applicable Company Optional Redemption Price to the Holder in cash on the applicable Company Optional Redemption Date. Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, in connection with any redemption hereunder at a time the Holder is entitled to receive a cash payment under any of the other Transaction Documents, at the option of the Holder delivered in writing to the Company, the applicable Redemption Price hereunder shall be increased by the amount of such cash payment owed to the Holder under such other Transaction Document and, upon payment in full or conversion in accordance herewith, shall satisfy the Company’s payment obligation under such other Transaction Document. In the event of a redemption of less than all of the Conversion Amount of this Note, the Company shall promptly cause to be issued and delivered to the Holder a new Note (in accordance with Section 20(d)) representing the Outstanding Principal Value of this Note which has not been redeemed. In the event that the Company does not pay the applicable Redemption Price to the Holder within the time period required, at any time thereafter and until the Company pays such unpaid Redemption Price in full, the Holder shall have the option, in lieu of redemption, to require the Company to promptly return to the Holder all or any portion of this Note representing the Conversion Amount that was 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 Conversion Amount, and (y) the Company shall immediately return this Note, or issue a new Note (in accordance with Section 20(d)), to the Holder, and in each case the principal amount of this Note or such new Note (as the case may be) 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 13, if applicable) minus (2) the Outstanding Principal Value portion of the Conversion Amount submitted for redemption. The 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 Conversion Amount subject to such notice.

 

(b) Redemption by Other Holders. Upon the Company’s receipt of notice from any of the holders of the Other Notes for redemption or repayment as a result of an event or occurrence substantially similar to the events or occurrences described in Section 4(b) or Section 5(b) (each, an “Other Redemption Notice”), the Company shall immediately, but no later than one (1) Business Day of its receipt thereof, forward to the Holder by electronic mail a copy of such notice. If the Company receives a Redemption Notice and one or more Other Redemption Notices, during the seven (7) Business Day period beginning on and including the date which is two (2) Business Days prior to the Company’s receipt of the Holder’s applicable Redemption Notice and ending on and including the date which is two (2) Business Days after the Company’s receipt of the Holder’s applicable Redemption Notice and the Company is unable to redeem all principal, interest and other amounts designated in such 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 of the Notes (including the Holder) based on the principal amount of the Notes submitted for redemption pursuant to such Redemption Notice and such Other Redemption Notices received by the Company during such seven (7) Business Day period.

 

14. VOTING RIGHTS. The Holder shall have no voting rights as the holder of this Note, except as required by law (including, without limitation, the Delaware General Corporation Law) and as expressly provided in this Note.

 

16

 

 

15. COVENANTS. Until all of the Notes have been converted, redeemed or otherwise satisfied in accordance with their terms:

 

(a) Rank. All payments due under this Note (a) shall rank pari passu with all Other Notes and (b) shall be senior to all other Indebtedness of the Company and its Subsidiaries (other than Permitted Indebtedness secured by Permitted Liens).

 

(b) Incurrence of Indebtedness. The Company shall not, and the Company shall cause each of its Subsidiaries to not, directly or indirectly, incur or guarantee, assume or suffer to exist any Indebtedness (other than (i) the Indebtedness evidenced by this Note and the Other Notes and (ii) other Permitted Indebtedness).

Subject to the foregoing, the Company shall establish and maintain Controlled Account Agreements (as defined in the Security Agreement) with the Collateral Agent (as defined in the Security Agreement) and each Controlled Account Bank, in form and substance reasonably acceptable to the Collateral Agent and the Required Holders, with respect to each account maintained at such bank on behalf of Company and/or its Covered Subsidiaries (each such account a “Controlled Account” and collectively, the “Controlled Accounts”), and the Operating Accounts (as defined below). Each such Controlled Account Agreement shall provide, among other things, that (A) the Controlled Account Bank will comply with any and all instructions originated by the Collateral Agent directing the disposition of the funds in the Controlled Accounts without further consent by the Company or any such Covered Subsidiaries following and during the continuance of an Event of Default, (B) the Controlled Account Bank waives, subordinates or agrees not to exercise any rights of setoff or recoupment or any other claim against the applicable Controlled Account other than for payment of its service fees and other charges directly related to the administration of such Controlled Account and for returned checks or other items of payment (if so provided in the Controlled Account Bank’s standard form controlled account agreement), and (C) with respect to each Controlled Account (collectively, the “Operating Accounts”), upon the instruction of Collateral Agent (an “Activation Instruction”), the Controlled Account Bank shall not comply following and during the continuance of an Event of Default with any instructions, directions or orders of any form with respect to the Operating Accounts other than instructions, directions or orders originated by Collateral Agent.

21

 

 

(iii) Maximum Free Cash Amount. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in Section 15(q)(ii) above, and without limiting any of the foregoing, if at any time on or after the Controlled Account Deadline, the total aggregate amount of the Company’s and any of its Covered Subsidiaries, in the aggregate, cash that is not held in a Controlled Account exceeds $50,000 (the “Maximum Free Cash Amount”), the Company shall within two (2) Business Days following such date, effect a transfer to a Controlled Account of a cash amount sufficient to reduce the total aggregate amount of the Company’s and its Covered Subsidiaries’, as applicable, cash that is not held in a Controlled Account to an amount not in excess of the Maximum Free Cash Amount.

(s) Taxes. The Company and its Subsidiaries shall pay when due all taxes, fees or other charges of any nature whatsoever (together with any related interest or penalties) now or hereafter imposed or assessed against the Company and its Subsidiaries or their respective assets or upon their ownership, possession, use, operation or disposition thereof or upon their rents, receipts or earnings arising therefrom (except where the failure to pay would not, individually or in the aggregate, have a material effect on the Company or any of its Subsidiaries). The Company and its Subsidiaries shall file on or before the due date therefor all personal property tax returns (except where the failure to file would not, individually or in the aggregate, have a material effect on the Company or any of its Subsidiaries).

If the Company has failed to meet one or more Financial Tests for a Fiscal Quarter or Fiscal Year, as applicable, (each a “Financial Covenant Failure”), the Company shall provide to the Holders a written certification, executed on behalf of the Company by the Chief Financial Officer of the Company, certifying that such Financial Test(s) has not been met for such Fiscal Quarter or Fiscal Year, as applicable (a “Financial Covenant Failure Notice”).

If the Independent Investigator determines that such breach of this Note has occurred, the Independent Investigator shall notify the Company of such breach and the Company shall deliver written notice to each holder of a Note of such breach. In connection with such investigation, the Independent Investigator may, during normal business hours, inspect all contracts, books, records, personnel, offices and other facilities and properties of the Company and its Subsidiaries and, to the extent available to the Company after the Company uses reasonable efforts to obtain them, the records of its legal advisors and accountants (including the accountants’ work papers) and any books of account, records, reports and other papers not contractually required of the Company to be confidential or secret, or subject to attorney-client or other evidentiary privilege, and the Independent Investigator may make such copies and inspections thereof as the Independent Investigator may reasonably request.

The Holder and any assignee, by acceptance of this Note, acknowledge and agree that, by reason of the provisions of Section 3(c)(iii) following conversion or redemption of any portion of this Note, the outstanding Principal represented by this Note may be less than the Principal stated on the face of this Note.

 

(b) Lost, Stolen or Mutilated Note. Upon receipt by the Company of evidence reasonably satisfactory to the Company of the loss, theft, destruction or mutilation of this Note (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 Holder to the Company in customary and reasonable form and, in the case of mutilation, upon surrender and cancellation of this Note, the Company shall execute and deliver to the Holder a new Note (in accordance with Section 20(d)) representing the outstanding Principal.

21. REMEDIES, CHARACTERIZATIONS, OTHER OBLIGATIONS, BREACHES AND INJUNCTIVE RELIEF. The remedies provided in this Note shall be cumulative and in addition to all other remedies available under this Note 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 the Holder’s right to pursue actual and consequential damages for any failure by the Company to comply with the terms of this Note. No failure on the part of the Holder to exercise, and no delay in exercising, any right, power or remedy hereunder shall operate as a waiver thereof; nor shall any single or partial exercise by the Holder of any right, power or remedy preclude any other or further exercise thereof or the exercise of any other right, power or remedy. In addition, the exercise of any right or remedy of the Holder at law or equity or under this Note or any of the documents shall not be deemed to be an election of Holder’s rights or remedies under such documents or at law or equity. The Company covenants to the 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 the 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 Holder 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, the Holder shall be entitled, in addition to all other available remedies, to specific performance and/or temporary, preliminary and permanent injunctive or other equitable relief from any court of competent jurisdiction in any such case without the necessity of proving actual damages and without posting a bond or other security. The Company shall provide all information and documentation to the Holder that is reasonably requested by the Holder to enable the Holder to confirm the Company’s compliance with the terms and conditions of this Note (including, without limitation, compliance with Section 7).

 

22. PAYMENT OF COLLECTION, ENFORCEMENT AND OTHER COSTS. If (a) this Note is placed in the hands of an attorney for collection or enforcement or is collected or enforced through any legal proceeding or the Holder otherwise takes action to collect amounts due under this Note and/or any other Transaction Document or to enforce the provisions of this Note and/or any other Transaction Document or (b) there occurs any bankruptcy, reorganization, receivership of the Company or other proceedings affecting Company creditors’ rights and involving a claim under this Note, then the Company shall pay the costs incurred by the Holder for such collection, enforcement or action or in connection with such bankruptcy, reorganization, receivership or other proceeding, including, without limitation, attorneys’ fees and disbursements. The Company expressly acknowledges and agrees that no amounts due under this Note and/or any other Transaction Document, as applicable, shall be affected, or limited, by the fact that the purchase price paid for this Note was less than the original Principal amount hereof.

 

23. CONSTRUCTION; HEADINGS. This Note shall be deemed to be jointly drafted by the Company and the initial Holder and shall not be construed against any such Person as the drafter hereof. The headings of this Note are for convenience of reference and shall not form part of, or affect the interpretation of, this Note. Unless the context clearly indicates otherwise, each pronoun herein shall be deemed to include the masculine, feminine, neuter, singular and plural forms thereof. The terms “including,” “includes,” “include” and words of like import shall be construed broadly as if followed by the words “without limitation.” The terms “herein,” “hereunder,” “hereof” and words of like import refer to this entire Note instead of just the provision in which they are found. Unless expressly indicated otherwise, all section references are to sections of this Note. Terms used in this Note and not otherwise defined herein, but defined in the other Transaction Documents, shall have the meanings ascribed to such terms on the Initial Closing Date in such other Transaction Documents unless otherwise consented to in writing by the Holder.

 

26

 

 

24. FAILURE OR INDULGENCE NOT WAIVER. No failure or delay on the part of the Holder in the exercise of any power, right or privilege hereunder shall operate as a waiver thereof, nor shall any single or partial exercise of any such power, right or privilege preclude other or further exercise thereof or of any other right, power or privilege. No waiver shall be effective unless it is in writing and signed by an authorized representative of the waiving party. Notwithstanding the foregoing, nothing contained in this Section 24 shall permit any waiver of any provision of Section 3(d).

 

25. DISPUTE RESOLUTION.

 

(a) Submission to Dispute Resolution.

 

(i) In the case of a dispute relating to a Closing Bid Price, a Closing Sale Price, a Conversion Price, a VWAP or a fair market value or the arithmetic calculation of a Conversion Rate or the applicable Redemption Price (as the case may be) (including, without limitation, a dispute relating to the determination of any of the foregoing), the Company or the Holder (as the case may be) shall submit the dispute to the other party via electronic mail (A) if by the Company, within two (2) Business Days after the occurrence of the circumstances giving rise to such dispute or (B) if by the Holder at any time after the Holder learned of the circumstances giving rise to such dispute. If the Holder and the Company are unable to promptly resolve such dispute relating to such Closing Bid Price, such Closing Sale Price, such Conversion Price, such VWAP or such fair market value, or the arithmetic calculation of such Conversion Rate or such applicable Redemption Price (as the case may be), at any time after the fifth (5th) Business Day following such initial notice by the Company or the Holder (as the case may be) of such dispute to the Company or the Holder (as the case may be), then the Holder may, at its sole option, select an independent, reputable investment bank reasonably acceptable to the Company to resolve such dispute.

 

(ii) The Holder and the Company shall each deliver to such investment bank (A) a copy of the initial dispute submission so delivered in accordance with the first sentence of this Section 25 and (B) written documentation supporting its position with respect to such dispute, in each case, no later than 5:00 p.m. (New York time) by the fifth (5th) Business Day immediately following the date on which the Holder selected such investment bank (the “Dispute Submission Deadline”) (the documents referred to in the immediately preceding clauses (A) and (B) are collectively referred to herein as the “Required Dispute Documentation”) (it being understood and agreed that if either the Holder or the Company fails to so deliver all of the Required Dispute Documentation by the Dispute Submission Deadline, then the party who fails to so submit all of the Required Dispute Documentation shall no longer be entitled to (and hereby waives its right to) deliver or submit any written documentation or other support to such investment bank with respect to such dispute and such investment bank shall resolve such dispute based solely on the Required Dispute Documentation that was delivered to such investment bank prior to the Dispute Submission Deadline). Unless otherwise agreed to in writing by both the Company and the Holder or otherwise requested by such investment bank, neither the Company nor the Holder shall be entitled to deliver or submit any written documentation or other support to such investment bank in connection with such dispute (other than the Required Dispute Documentation).

 

27

 

 

(iii) The Company and the Holder shall cause such investment bank to determine the resolution of such dispute and notify the Company and the Holder of such resolution no later than ten (10) Business Days immediately following the Dispute Submission Deadline.

Exhibit 10.1

 

AMENDMENT AGREEMENT

 

This Amendment Agreement (the “Agreement”) is entered into as of the __ day of February, 2026 (the “Effective Date”), by and among PAVmed Inc., a Delaware corporation with offices located at 360 Madison Avenue, 25th Floor, New York, NY 10017 (the “Company”) and the undersigned holder of the Existing Note (as defined below) and Existing Preferred Shares (as defined below) (the “Holder”), with reference to the following facts:

 

A. Prior to the date hereof, (i) the Company and the Holder entered into that certain Securities Purchase Agreement, dated as of March 31, 2022 (as the same may be amended, modified or waived from time to time, the “Securities Purchase Agreement”), pursuant to which the Company has previously issued to the Holder (x) a senior secured convertible note, dated as of April 4, 2022 (the “April 2022 Note”) and (y) a senior secured convertible note, dated as of September 8, 2022 (the “September 2022 Note” and, together with the April 2022 Note, the “Original Notes”) and (ii) the Company and the Holder entered into that certain exchange agreement, dated November 15, 2024 (the “Exchange Agreement”), pursuant to which, among other things, the Company and the Holder exchanged the April 2022 Note and part of the September 2022 Note for certain shares of Series C Convertible Preferred Stock, $0.001 par value of the Company (the “Series C Preferred Stock”).

 

B. As of the date hereof, the Holder holds (i) a September 2022 Note with such aggregate principal and interest outstanding as set forth on the signature page of the Holder attached hereto (the “Existing Note”) and (i) such aggregate number of shares of Series C Preferred Stock as set forth on the signature page of the Holder attached hereto (the “Existing Preferred Shares”).

 

C. The Company desires to (i) repurchase and cancel the Existing Preferred Shares (the “Repurchased Securities”) for $22,233,000 in cash (the “Preferred Purchase Price”), (ii) amend and restate the Existing Note as the New Note (as defined below) and (iii) grant the Right (as defined below) to the Holder and (iv) consummate a Subsequent Placement to raise all, or part, of the Preferred Purchase Price through the issuance of up to 55,000 shares of Series D Preferred Stock, par value $0.001, for an aggregate purchase price of up to $55,000,000 in one or more closings (the “Proposed Equity Raise”) as of the time of consummation of the Proposed Equity Raise (or such other time as mutually agreed upon by the Company and the Holder, the “Closing Time”).

 

D. Effective as of the Closing Time, each of the Company and the Holder desire to amend and restate the Existing Note in the form of the senior secured convertible note attached hereto as Exhibit A, with a new aggregate principal of $15,000,000 as set forth on the signature page of the Holder attached hereto (the “New Note”, and as converted into shares of Common Stock in accordance therewith, the “New Conversion Shares”).

 

E. Capitalized terms used but not otherwise defined herein shall have the meaning as set forth in the Securities Purchase Agreement (as amended hereby).

 

 

 

 

NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the foregoing premises and the mutual covenants hereinafter contained, the parties hereto agree as follows:

 

1. Repurchase of Repurchased Securities; Amendment and Restatement of Existing Note; Right.

 

(a) On or prior to the Closing Time, the Company shall repurchase the Repurchased Securities from the Holder by wiring the Preferred Purchase Price to the Holder, in U.S. dollars and immediately available funds, in accordance with the wire instructions of the Holder delivered to the Company on or prior thereto. Upon the Holder’s receipt of the Preferred Purchase Price, the Repurchased Securities shall be automatically cancelled, the Repurchased Securities shall no longer be outstanding, and the Designated Provisions (as defined below) of each of the Exchange Agreement and that certain Securities Purchase Agreement, dated as of November 20, 2024 (the “November 2024 SPA”), by and between the Holder and the Company, shall be terminated and thereafter be of no further for and effect. For purposes hereof, the term “Designated Provisions” shall mean Sections 2, 3(a), 3(b)(iii) and 13 of the Exchange Agreement, and Sections 4(j), (k), (l) and (n) of the November 2024 SPA. For avoidance of doubt, none of the foregoing or any other provision hereof shall be deemed to amend or modify any of the covenants or other terms in the New Note.

 

(b) As of the Closing Time, the Existing Note is hereby amended and restated as the New Note. The Company shall deliver the original duly executed certificate evidencing the New Note to the Holder (or its designee) by no later than the second (2nd) Trading Day after the Closing Time

 

(c) As soon as commercially practicable after the Closing Time, the Holder shall deliver the certificates, if any, evidencing the Existing Note and Existing Preferred Shares to the Company (or a lost affidavit in customary form), and the Company shall file a certificate of cancellation of the certificate of designations for the Existing Preferred Shares with the Secretary of State of Delaware.

 

(d) As additional consideration for the transactions contemplated herein, the Company hereby grants the Holder rights (collectively, the “Rights”) to receive from the Company 300,000 (as adjusted for stock splits, stock dividends, stock combinations, recapitalizations and similar events) shares of common stock (the “Lucid Common Stock”), $0.001 par value, of Lucid Diagnostics Inc, a Delaware corporation (“Lucid Diagnostics”) (such shares of Lucid Common Stock, the “Right Shares”) in accordance with this Section 1(d) (subject to the limitations set forth in Section 1(d)(v) below), exercisable upon the earliest of (x) the Maturity Date (as defined in the New Note), (y) such date the New Note no longer remains outstanding and (z) such earlier date as the Company shall notify the Holder in writing (the “Rights Trigger Date”).

 

(i) Exercise of Right of Required Transfer of Shares. Subject to the terms hereof, the exercise of the Rights may be made, in whole or in part, at any time or times on or after the Rights Trigger Date by delivery to the Company (or such other office or agency of the Company as it may designate by notice in writing to the registered Holder at the address of the Holder appearing on the books of the Company) of a duly executed PDF copy of the Notice of Required Transfer Form annexed hereto as Exhibit A (each, a “Notice of Required Transfer”, and the corresponding date thereof, the “Exercise Date”). Partial exercises of the Rights resulting in the transfer of a portion of the total number of Rights Shares available thereunder shall have the effect of lowering the outstanding number of Rights Shares purchasable thereunder in an amount equal to the applicable number of Rights Shares transferred. The Holder and the Company shall maintain records showing the number of Rights Shares transferred and the date of such transfers. The Company shall deliver any objection to any Notice of Required Transfer Form within one (1) Trading Day of receipt of such notice. The Holder acknowledges and agrees that, by reason of the provisions of this paragraph, following each exercise of the Rights issued hereunder and the transfer of a portion of the Rights Shares pursuant thereto, the number of Rights Shares available for transfer pursuant to the Rights issued hereunder at any given time may be less than the amount stated herein.

 

2

 

 

(ii) Delivery of Rights Shares. The Rights Shares transferred from the Company to the Holder in accordance herewith shall be transmitted by the transfer agent of Lucid Diagnostics (the “Lucid Transfer Agent”) to the Holder by crediting the account of the Holder’s prime broker with The Depository Trust Company through its Deposit/Withdrawal at Custodian system (“DWAC”) (or other electronic transfer, as applicable) if Lucid Diagnostics is then a participant in such system (unless requested by the Holder to be delivered by physical delivery to the address specified by the Holder in the Notice of Required Transfer) by the date that is one (1) Trading Day after the delivery to the Company of the Notice of Required Transfer (such date, the “Share Delivery Deadline”). The Rights Shares shall be deemed to have been transferred from the Company to the Holder, and Holder or any other person so designated to be named therein shall be deemed to have become the holder of record of such shares for all purposes, as of the date the Rights have been exercised.

 

(iii) Charges, Taxes and Expenses. Transfer of Rights Shares shall be made without charge to the Holder for any issue or transfer tax or other incidental expense in respect of the transfer and issuance of such certificate, all of which taxes and expenses shall be paid by the Company, and such certificates shall be transferred and issued in the name of the Holder. The Company shall pay all Lucid Transfer Agent fees required for same-day processing of any Notice of Required Transfer.

 

(iv) Rights Shares Position. The Company covenants that, from and after the date hereof, as long as any Rights remain outstanding, it will hold and reserve a sufficient number of shares to provide for the transfer and delivery of all of the Rights Shares transferable hereunder to the Holder (or its designee) upon the exercise of the Rights (without regard to any limitations on exercise set forth in Section 1(d)(v) below). The Company further covenants that its issuance of the Rights shall constitute full authority to its officers who are charged with the duty of executing stock certificates to execute and transfer the necessary certificates for the Rights Shares upon the due exercise of the Rights. The Company will take all such reasonable action as may be necessary to assure that such Rights Shares may be transferred to the Holder (or its designee) as provided herein without violation of any applicable law or regulation, or of any requirements of the principal market or exchange upon which the Lucid Common Stock may then be listed. The Company covenants that all Rights Shares which may be transferred upon the exercise of the Rights represented by this Agreement, the Rights, will, upon exercise of the Rights be duly authorized, validly issued, fully paid and non-assessable and free from all taxes, Liens and charges created by the Company or Lucid Diagnostics in respect of the transfer thereof (other than taxes in respect of any transfer occurring contemporaneously with such issue).

(v) Limitations on Exercise. The Company shall not effect the exercise of any Rights, and the Holder shall not have the right to exercise any portion of any Rights pursuant to the terms and conditions of this Agreement and any such exercise shall be null and void and treated as if never made, to the extent that after giving effect to such exercise, the Holder together with the other Attribution Parties (as defined below) collectively would beneficially own in excess of 9.99% (the “Beneficial Ownership Limitation”) of the shares of Lucid Common Stock outstanding immediately after giving effect to such exercise. For purposes of the foregoing sentence, the aggregate number of shares of Lucid Common Stock beneficially owned by the Holder and the other Attribution Parties shall include the number of shares of Lucid Common Stock held by the Holder and all other Attribution Parties plus the number of shares of Lucid Common Stock transferable upon exercise of the Rights issued hereunder with respect to which the determination of such sentence is being made, but shall exclude shares of Lucid Common Stock which would be issuable or transferable, as applicable, upon (A) exercise of the remaining, nonexercised portion of the Rights beneficially owned by the Holder or any of the other Attribution Parties and (B) exercise or conversion of the unexercised or nonconverted portion of any other securities of Lucid Diagnostics (including, without limitation, any convertible notes or convertible preferred stock or warrants) beneficially owned by the Holder or any other Attribution Party subject to a limitation on conversion or exercise analogous to the limitation contained in this Section 1(d)(v). For purposes of this Section 1(d)(v) beneficial ownership shall be calculated in accordance with Section 13(d) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “1934 Act”). For purposes of determining the number of outstanding shares of Lucid Common Stock the Holder may acquire upon the exercise of the Rights without exceeding the Beneficial Ownership Limitation, the Holder may rely on the number of outstanding shares of Lucid Common Stock as reflected in (x) Lucid Diagnostics’ most recent Annual Report on Form 10-K, Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q, Current Report on Form 8-K or other public filing with the SEC, as the case may be, (y) a more recent public announcement by the Company or (z) any other written notice by Lucid Diagnostics or the Lucid Transfer Agent, if any, setting forth the number of shares of Lucid Common Stock outstanding (the “Reported Outstanding Share Number”). If the Company receives a Notice of Required Transfer from the Holder at a time when the Company is aware that the actual number of outstanding shares of Lucid Common Stock is less than the Reported Outstanding Share Number, the Company shall notify the Holder in writing of the number of shares of Lucid Common Stock then outstanding, if known by the Company, and, to the extent that such Notice of Required Transfer would otherwise cause the Holder’s beneficial ownership, as determined pursuant to this Section 1(d)(v), to exceed the Beneficial Ownership Limitation, the Holder must notify the Company of a reduced number of shares of Lucid Common Stock to be transferred pursuant to such Notice of Required Transfer. For any reason at any time, upon the written or oral request of the Holder, the Company shall within one (1) Business Day confirm orally and in writing or by electronic mail to the Holder the number of shares of Lucid Common Stock then outstanding, if then known by the Company. In any case, the number of outstanding shares of Lucid Common Stock shall be determined after giving effect to the conversion or exercise of securities of Lucid Diagnostics, including the Rights, by the Holder and any other Attribution Party since the date as of which the Reported Outstanding Share Number was reported. In the event that the transfer of shares of Lucid Common Stock to the Holder upon exercise of the Rights results in the Holder and the other Attribution Parties being deemed to beneficially own, in the aggregate, more than the Beneficial Ownership Limitation of the number of outstanding shares of Lucid Common Stock (as determined under Section 13(d) of the 1934 Act), the number of shares so transferred by which the Holder’s and the other Attribution Parties’ aggregate beneficial ownership exceeds the Beneficial Ownership Limitation (the “Excess Shares”) shall be deemed null and void and shall be cancelled ab initio, and the Holder shall not have the power to vote or to transfer the Excess Shares. Upon delivery of a written notice to the Company, the Holder may from time to time increase (with such increase not effective until the sixty-first (61st) day after delivery of such notice) or decrease the Beneficial Ownership Limitation to any other percentage not in excess of 9.99% as specified in such notice; provided that (i) any such increase in the Beneficial Ownership Limitation will not be effective until the sixty-first (61st) day after such notice is delivered to the Company and (ii) any such increase or decrease will apply only to the Holder and the other Attribution Parties and not to any other holder of Rights that is not an Attribution Party of the Holder. For purposes of clarity, the shares of Lucid Common Stock transferable pursuant to the terms of the Rights hereunder in excess of the Beneficial Ownership Limitation shall not be deemed to be beneficially owned by the Holder for any purpose including for purposes of Section 13(d) or Rule 16a-1(a)(1) of the 1934 Act. No prior inability to exercise any Rights pursuant to this paragraph shall have any effect on the applicability of the provisions of this paragraph with respect to any subsequent determination of exercisability. The provisions of this paragraph shall be construed and implemented in a manner otherwise than in strict conformity with the terms of this Section 1(d)(v) to the extent necessary to correct this paragraph (or any portion of this paragraph) which may be defective or inconsistent with the intended beneficial ownership limitation contained in this Section 1(d)(v) or to make changes or supplements necessary or desirable to properly give effect to such limitation. The limitation contained in this paragraph may not be waived and shall apply to a successor holder of Rights. For the purpose of this Agreement: (x) “Attribution Parties” means, collectively, the following Persons and entities: (i) any investment vehicle, including, any funds, feeder funds or managed accounts, currently, or from time to time after the date hereof, directly or indirectly managed or advised by the Holder’s investment manager or any of its Affiliates or principals, (ii) any direct or indirect Affiliates of the Holder or any of the foregoing, (iii) any Person acting or who could be deemed to be acting as a Group together with the Holder or any of the foregoing and (iv) any other Persons whose beneficial ownership of Lucid Common Stock would or could be aggregated with the Holder’s and the other Attribution Parties for purposes of Section 13(d) of the 1934 Act. For clarity, the purpose of the foregoing is to subject collectively the Holder and all other Attribution Parties to the Beneficial Ownership Limitation, (y) “Group” means a “group” as that term is used in Section 13(d) of the 1934 Act and as defined in Rule 13d-5 thereunder and (z) “Affiliate” means, with respect to any Person, any other Person that directly or indirectly controls, is controlled by, or is under common control with, such Person, it being understood for purposes of this definition that “control” of a Person means the power directly or indirectly either to vote 10% or more of the stock having ordinary voting power for the election of directors of such Person or direct or cause the direction of the management and policies of such Person whether by contract or otherwise.

(vi) Compensation for Buy-In on Failure to Timely Deliver Rights Shares. If the Company shall fail, for any reason or for no reason, on or prior to the applicable Share Delivery Deadline, as required by the applicable Notice of Required Transfer either (x) to transfer and deliver to the Holder (or its designee) a certificate for the number of shares of Lucid Common Stock to which the Holder is entitled or, (y) to credit the balance account of the Holder or the Holder’s designee with DTC for such number of shares of Lucid Common Stock to which the Holder is entitled upon the Holder’s exercise of a Right (a “Delivery Failure”) and if on or after such Share Delivery Deadline the Holder acquires (in an open market transaction, stock loan or otherwise) shares of Lucid Common Stock corresponding to all or any portion of the number of shares of Lucid Common Stock upon such exercise that the Holder is entitled to receive from the Company and has not received from the Company in connection with such Delivery Failure (a “Buy-In”), then, in addition to all other remedies available to the Holder, the Company shall, within one (1) Business Day after receipt of the Holder’s request and in the Holder’s discretion, either: (I) pay cash to the Holder in an amount equal to the Holder’s total purchase price (including brokerage commissions, stock loan costs and other out-of-pocket expenses, if any) for the shares of Lucid Common Stock so acquired (including, without limitation, by any other Person in respect, or on behalf, of the Holder) (the “Buy-In Price”), at which point the Company’s obligation to so transfer and deliver such certificate (and to transfer and deliver such shares of Lucid Common Stock) or credit the balance account of such Holder or such Holder’s designee, as applicable, with DTC for the number of shares of Lucid Common Stock to which the Holder is entitled upon the Holder’s exercise of Rights hereunder (as the case may be) (and to transfer and deliver such shares of Lucid Common Stock) shall terminate, or (II) promptly honor its obligation to so transfer and deliver to the Holder a certificate or certificates representing such shares of Lucid Common Stock or credit the balance account of such Holder or such Holder’s designee, as applicable, with DTC for the number of shares of Lucid Common Stock to which the Holder is entitled upon the Holder’s exercise of Rights hereunder (as the case may be) and pay cash to the 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 Lucid Common Stock multiplied by (y) the lowest Closing Sale Price (as defined below) of the Lucid Common Stock on any Trading Day during the period commencing on the date of the applicable Notice of Required Transfer and ending on the date of such transfer and payment under this clause (II). Nothing shall limit the Holder’s right to pursue any other remedies available to it hereunder, at law or in equity, including, without limitation, a decree of specific performance and/or injunctive relief with respect to the Company’s failure to timely deliver certificates representing shares of Lucid Common Stock (or to electronically deliver such shares of Lucid Common Stock) upon the exercise of the Rights as required pursuant to the terms hereof. “Closing Bid Price” and “Closing Sale Price” means, for any security as of any date, the last closing bid price or last trade price, respectively, of such security on the principal securities exchange or trading market where such security is listed or traded as reported by Bloomberg, L.P., or if the foregoing do not apply, the last closing bid price or last trade price, respectively, of such security in the over-the-counter market on the electronic bulletin board for such security as reported by Bloomberg, L.P., or, if no closing bid price or last trade price, respectively, is reported for such security by Bloomberg, L.P., the average of the bid prices, or the ask prices, respectively, of any market makers for such security as reported in The Pink Open Market (or a similar organization or agency succeeding to its functions of reporting prices). If the Closing Bid Price or the Closing Sale Price cannot be calculated for a security on a particular date on any of the foregoing bases, the Closing Bid Price or the Closing Sale Price (as the case may be) of such security on such date shall be the fair market value as mutually determined by the Company and the Holder. All such determinations shall be appropriately adjusted for any stock splits, stock dividends, stock combinations, recapitalizations or other similar transactions during such period.

 

5

 

 

(vii) Fundamental Transaction. If, at any time while the Rights remain outstanding, a Fundamental Transaction (as defined in the New Notes, but replacing the Company and its Subsidiaries with Lucid Diagnostics and its subsidiaries, as applicable, mutatis mutandis) occurs, then, upon any subsequent exercise of the Rights, the Holder shall have the right to receive, for each Rights Share that would have been transferable upon such exercise immediately prior to the occurrence of such Fundamental Transaction, at the option of the Holder (without regard to any limitation in Section 1(d)(v) on the exercise of the Rights), the number of shares of common stock of the successor or acquiring corporation of Lucid Diagnostics, if it is the surviving corporation, plus any additional consideration receivable as a result of such Fundamental Transaction by a holder of one share of Lucid Common Stock. Upon the occurrence of any such Fundamental Transaction, the successor entity in a Fundamental Transaction in which Lucid Diagnostics is not the survivor (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 Agreement referring to “Lucid Diagnostics” shall refer instead to the Successor Entity).

 

(viii) No Rights as Stockholder Until Exercise. Each Right does not entitle the Holder to any voting rights, dividends or other rights as a stockholder of Lucid Diagnostics prior to the exercise hereof.

 

(ix) Transferability. Subject to compliance with any applicable securities laws, the Rights and all rights hereunder are transferable to any affiliate of the Holder or any other Person under common control with the Holder, as applicable, in whole or in part, upon written assignment substantially in the form attached hereto duly executed by the Holder or its agent or attorney and funds sufficient to pay any transfer taxes payable upon the making of such transfer of this Agreement delivered to the principal office of the Company or its designated agent. Upon such assignment and, if required, such payment, the Company shall enter into a new agreement with the assignee or assignees, as applicable, and this Agreement shall promptly be cancelled. Any Rights, if properly assigned in accordance herewith, may be exercised by a new holder for the transfer of Rights Shares without having a new agreement executed.

13. Certificate of Designations Waiver. Notwithstanding anything in the Series D Certificate of Designations to the contrary, the Holder, solely in its personal capacity as a holder of Series D Preferred Shares (the “Series D Holder”), and not with respect to any other holder of Series D Preferred Shares (each, an “Other Series D Holder”), hereby waives any and all rights as a Series D Holder with respect to the Series D Preferred Shares beneficially owned by the Holder pursuant to Section 4(b) and 4(c) with respect to the appointment and/or consent right, as applicable, to any director of the Company.

If requested by the Lucid Transfer Agent in connection with the sale of any Lucid Common Stock by the Collateral Agent in accordance with the Security Agreement, the Company shall cause its counsel, promptly, but not later than two Trading Days from the date of such request, to issue the legal opinion with respect to any legend on the Lucid Common Stock. Any fees (with respect to the Lucid Transfer Agent, counsel to the Company, Lucid or otherwise) associated with the issuance of such opinion and/or the removal of any legends on any of the Lucid Common Stock or the establishment and maintenance of any brokerage account or other collateral account of the Company, as applicable, with respect thereto shall be borne by the Company.

16. Termination. Notwithstanding anything contained in this Agreement to the contrary, if the Closing Time has not occurred by 5:00 pm New York Time on February 4, 2026 (the “Closing Deadline”), at the election of the Holder delivered in writing to the Company at any time after Closing Deadline, this Agreement shall be terminated and be null and void ab initio and the Existing Note and Existing Preferred Shares shall not be sold, amended and/or cancelled hereunder and shall remain outstanding as if this Agreement never existed.

(a) Mandatory Registration.

In no event shall the Company include any securities other than Registrable Securities on any Registration Statement without the prior written consent of the Majority Holders.

 

Registration Rights Agreement - 4

 

 

(c) Reduction of Included Securities. If the Commission allows the Registration Statement to be declared effective at any time before or after the Effectiveness Date, subject to the withdrawal of certain Registrable Securities from the Registration Statement, and the reason is the Commission’s determination that (x) the offering of any of the Registrable Securities constitutes a primary offering of securities by the Company, (y) Rule 415 may not be relied upon for the registration of the resale of any or all of the Registrable Securities, and/or (z) a Holder of any Registrable Securities must be named as an underwriter, the Holders understand and agree the Company may reduce, on a pro rata basis (or as close thereto as possible given the determination by the Commission), the total number of Registrable Securities to be registered on behalf of each such Holder. In any such pro rata reduction, the number of Registrable Securities to be registered on such Registration Statement will be reduced on a pro rata basis (or as close thereto as possible given the determination by the Commission) based on the total number of unregistered Registrable Securities. In addition, any such affected Holder shall be entitled to Piggyback Registration rights after the Registration Statement is declared effective by the Commission until such time as: (A) all Registrable Securities have been registered pursuant to an effective Registration Statement, (B) the Registrable Securities may be resold without restriction pursuant to SEC Rule 144 of the Securities Act or (C) the Holder agrees to be named as an underwriter in any such registration statement. The Holders acknowledge and agree the provisions of this paragraph may apply to more than one Registration Statement; and

 

(d) Piggyback Registration Rights. In addition to the Company’s agreement pursuant to Section 2(a) above, if the Company shall, at any time during the Effectiveness Period, determine (i) to register for sale any of its Common Stock in an underwritten offering, or (ii) to file a registration statement covering the resale of any shares of the Common Stock held by any of its stockholders (other than (w) any registration statement on Form S-8 or Form S-4, (x) any registration statement for an offering pursuant to Rule 415(a)(1)(x) under the Securities Act, except to the extent a prospectus for an immediate underwritten offering or a prospectus covering the resale of any shares of the Common Stock held by any of its stockholders, in each case meeting the requirements of Section 10(a) of the Securities Act, is included therein at the initial effective time thereof, (y) any registration statement filed as contemplated by Section 2(a) above, and (z) any registration statement filed as contemplated by the Existing Registration Rights Agreements), the Company shall provide written notice to the Holders, which notice shall be provided no less than fifteen (15) calendar days prior to the filing of such applicable registration statement (the “Company Notice”). In that event, the right of any Holder to include the Registrable Securities in such a registration shall be conditioned upon such Holder’s written request to participate which shall be delivered to the Company within ten (10) calendar days after the Company Notice, as well as such Holder’s participation in such underwriting (if applicable, for purposes of this paragraph) and the inclusion of such Holder’s Registrable Securities in the underwriting to the extent provided herein. All Holders proposing to sell any of their Registrable Securities through such underwriting shall (together with the Company and any other stockholders of the Company selling their securities through such underwriting) enter into an underwriting agreement in customary form with the underwriter selected for such underwriting. Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, if the underwriter determines that marketing factors require a limitation on the number of shares of Common Stock or the amount of other securities to be underwritten, the underwriter may exclude some or all Registrable Securities from such registration and underwriting. The Company shall so advise all Holders (except those Holders who failed to timely elect to include their Registrable Securities through such underwriting or have indicated to the Company their decision not to do so), and indicate to each such Holder the number of shares of Registrable Securities that may be included in the registration and underwriting, if any. The number of Registrable Securities to be included in such registration and underwriting shall be allocated first to the Company, then to all other selling stockholders, including the Holders, who have requested to sell in the registration on a pro rata basis according to the number of shares requested to be included therein. If any Holder disapproves of the terms of any such underwriting, such Holder may elect to withdraw such Holder’s Registrable Securities therefrom by delivering a written notice to the Company and the underwriter. A Holder with Registrable Securities included in any registration shall furnish to the Company such information regarding itself, the Registrable Securities held by it, and the intended method of disposition of such securities as shall be required in order to comply with any applicable law or regulation in connection with the registration of such Holder’s Registrable Securities or any qualification or compliance with respect to such Holder’s Registrable Securities and referred to in this Agreement. The Company shall have the right to terminate or withdraw any registration initiated by it before the effective date of such registration, whether or not any Holder has elected to include Registrable Securities in such registration. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Company shall not be required to register any Registrable Securities pursuant to this Section 2(d) that are eligible for resale pursuant to Rule 144 without restriction (including, without limitation, volume restrictions) or that are the subject of a then-effective Registration Statement. The Company may postpone or withdraw the filing or the effectiveness of a piggyback registration at any time in its sole discretion.

 

Registration Rights Agreement - 5

 

 

(e) Market Stand Off. In connection with any underwritten offering of equity securities of the Company (subject to the Company’s compliance with Section 2(d)), if requested by the managing underwriter, each Holder agrees that it shall not transfer any shares of Common Stock, Preferred Stock or other equity securities of the Company (other than those included in such underwritten offering pursuant to this Agreement), without the prior written consent of the Company and the managing underwriter, during the 90-day period (or such shorter time agreed to by the managing underwriters) beginning on the date of pricing of such offering (the “Lock-Up Period”), except as expressly permitted by such lock-up agreement or in the event the managing underwriters otherwise consent in writing. Each Holder agrees to execute a customary lock-up agreement in favor of the underwriters to such effect (in each case on substantially the same terms and conditions as the directors, executive officers and/or other stockholders of the Company). During the Lock-Up Period, the Company will not be obligated to include any Registrable Securities that are then subject to such a lock-up agreement in any subsequent registration statement pursuant to Section 2(d).

 

3. Registration Procedures for Registrable Securities. The Company will keep each Holder reasonably advised as to the filing and effectiveness of the Registration Statement. At its expense with respect to the Registration Statement, the Company will:

 

(a) prepare and file with the Commission with respect to the Registrable Securities, a Registration Statement on Form S-1, Form S-3, or any other form for which the Company then qualifies or which counsel for the Company shall deem appropriate and which form shall be available for the sale of the Registrable Securities in accordance with the intended methods of distribution thereof, pursuant to Section 2(a) and use its commercially reasonable efforts to cause such Registration Statement to become effective and shall remain effective during the Effectiveness Period. Thereafter, the Company shall be entitled to withdraw such Registration Statement and the Holders shall have no further right to offer or sell any of the Registrable Securities registered for resale thereon pursuant to the respective Registration Statement (or any prospectus relating thereto);

8. Indemnification.

 

(a) In the event of the offer and sale of Registrable Securities under the Securities Act, the Company shall, and hereby does, indemnify and hold harmless, to the fullest extent permitted by law, each Holder, its directors, officers, partners, each other person who participates as an underwriter in the offering or sale of such securities, and each other person, if any, who controls or is under common control with such Holder or any such underwriter within the meaning of Section 15 of the Securities Act, against any losses, claims, damages or liabilities, joint or several, and expenses to which the Holder or any such director, officer, partner or underwriter or controlling person may become subject under the Securities Act, the Exchange Act, or any other federal or state law, insofar as such losses, claims, damages, liabilities or expenses (or actions or proceedings, whether commenced or threatened, in respect thereof) arise out of or are based upon (1) in the case of any registration statement prepared and filed by the Company under which Registrable Securities were registered under the Securities Act, if such registration statement contained an untrue statement of a material fact or omitted to state a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein not misleading or (2) in the case of any preliminary prospectus, final prospectus or summary prospectus contained in such registration statement, or any amendment or supplement thereto, if such preliminary prospectus, final prospectus or summary prospectus includes an untrue statement of a material fact or omits to state a material fact necessary in order to make the statements, in the light of the circumstances under which they were made, not misleading, or any violation by the Company of the Securities Act, the Exchange Act, any state securities law or any rule or regulation promulgated under the Securities Act, the Exchange Act or any state securities law in connection with this Agreement; and the Company shall reimburse the Holder, and each such director, officer, partner, underwriter and controlling person for any legal or any other expenses reasonably and actually incurred by them in connection with investigating, defending or settling any such loss, claim, damage, liability, action or proceeding; provided, that such indemnity agreement found in this Section 8(a) shall in no event exceed the net proceeds from the Offering received by the Company; and provided further, that the Company shall not be liable in any such case to the extent that any such loss, claim, damage, liability (or action or proceeding in respect thereof) or expense arises out of or is based upon (i) such Holder’s failure to comply with the prospectus delivery requirements of the Securities Act, (ii) such Holder’s breach of its obligations under Section 4, or (iii) an untrue statement in or omission from such registration statement, or any such preliminary prospectus, final prospectus, summary prospectus, amendment or supplement, in reliance upon and in conformity with information furnished in writing to the Company by such Holder expressly for use therein, or to the extent that such information relates to such Holder or such Holder’s proposed method of distribution of Registrable Securities and was reviewed and expressly approved in writing by such Holder expressly for use therein. Such indemnity shall remain in full force and effect regardless of any investigation made by or on behalf of the Holders, or any such director, officer, partner, underwriter or controlling person and shall survive the transfer of such shares by the Holder.

 

(b) As a condition to including Registrable Securities in any registration statement filed pursuant to this Agreement, each Holder agrees to be bound by the terms of this Section 8 and to indemnify and hold harmless, to the fullest extent permitted by law, the Company, its directors and officers, and each other person, if any, who controls the Company within the meaning of Section 15 of the Securities Act, against any losses, claims, damages or liabilities, joint or several, to which the Company or any such director or officer or controlling person may become subject under the Securities Act, the Exchange Act, or any other federal or state law, to the extent arising out of or based solely upon: (x) such Holder’s failure to comply with the prospectus delivery requirements of the Securities Act, (y) such Holder’s breach of its obligations under Section 4, or (z) (1) in the case of any registration statement prepared and filed by the Company under which Registrable Securities were registered under the Securities Act, if such registration statement contained an untrue statement of a material fact or omitted to state a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein not misleading or (2) in the case of any preliminary prospectus, final prospectus or summary prospectus contained in such registration statement, or any amendment or supplement thereto, such preliminary prospectus, final prospectus or summary prospectus includes an untrue statement of a material fact or omits to state a material fact necessary in order to make the statements, in the light of the circumstances under which they were made, not misleading, to the extent, but only to the extent, that such untrue statements or omissions referred to in (z)(1) or (z)(2) above are in reliance upon and in conformity with information furnished in writing to the Company by such Holder expressly for use therein, or to the extent that such information relates to such Holder or such Holder’s proposed method of distribution of Registrable Securities and was reviewed and expressly approved in writing by such Holder expressly for use therein. Each Holder’s obligation to indemnify shall be individual, not joint and several, and in no event shall the liability of any selling Holder hereunder be greater in amount than the dollar amount of the net proceeds received by such Holder upon the sale of the Registrable Securities giving rise to such indemnification obligation.

 

Registration Rights Agreement - 9

 

 

(c) Promptly after receipt by an indemnified party of notice of the commencement of any action or proceeding involving a claim referred to in this Section (including any governmental action), such indemnified party shall, if a claim in respect thereof is to be made against an indemnifying party, give written notice to the indemnifying party of the commencement of such action; provided, that the failure of any indemnified party to give notice as provided herein shall not relieve the indemnifying party of its obligations under this Section, except to the extent that the indemnifying party is actually prejudiced by such failure to give notice. In case any such action is brought against an indemnified party, the indemnifying party shall be entitled to participate in and to assume the defense thereof, with counsel reasonably satisfactory to such indemnified party and, after notice from the indemnifying party to such indemnified party of its election so to assume the defense thereof, the indemnifying party shall not be liable to such indemnified party for any legal or other expenses subsequently incurred by the indemnified party in connection with the defense thereof, unless in such indemnified party’s reasonable judgment a conflict of interest between such indemnified and indemnifying parties arises in respect of such claim after the assumption of the defenses thereof or the indemnifying party fails to defend such claim in a diligent manner. If, in such indemnified party’s reasonable judgment a conflict of interest between such indemnified and indemnifying parties arises in respect of such claim after the assumption of the defenses thereof, the indemnified party (together with all other indemnified parties that may be represented without conflict by one counsel) shall have the right to retain one separate counsel, with the reasonable fees and expenses to be paid by the indemnifying party. No indemnifying party shall be liable for any settlement of any action or proceeding effected without its consent. No indemnifying party shall, without the consent of the indemnified party (which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed), consent to entry of any judgment or enter into any settlement, unless such consent to entry of judgment or settlement includes as an unconditional term thereof the giving by the claimant or plaintiff to such indemnified party of a release from all liability in respect of such claim or litigation. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary set forth herein, and without limiting any of the rights set forth above, in any event any party shall have the right to retain, at its own expense, counsel with respect to the defense of a claim.

 

(d) If an indemnifying party does not or is not permitted to assume the defense of an action pursuant to Section 8(c) or in the case of the expense reimbursement obligation set forth in Sections 8(a) and 8(b), the indemnification required by Sections 8(a) and 8(b) shall be made by periodic payments of the amount thereof during the course of the investigation or defense, as and when bills received or expenses, losses, damages, or liabilities are incurred provided that the indemnifying party is provided appropriate documentation.

 

Registration Rights Agreement - 10

 

 

(e) If the indemnification provided for in Sections 8(a) and 8(b) is held by a court of competent jurisdiction to be unavailable to an indemnified party with respect to any loss, liability, claim, damage or expense referred to herein, the indemnifying party, in lieu of indemnifying such indemnified party hereunder, shall (i) contribute to the amount paid or payable by such indemnified party as a result of such loss, liability, claim, damage or expense as is appropriate to reflect the proportionate relative fault of the indemnifying party on the one hand and the indemnified party on the other (determined by reference to, among other things, whether the untrue or alleged untrue statement of a material fact or omission relates to information supplied by the indemnifying party or the indemnified party and the parties’ relative intent, knowledge, access to information and opportunity to correct or prevent such untrue statement or omission), or (ii) if the allocation provided by clause (i) above is not permitted by applicable law or provides a lesser sum to the indemnified party than the amount hereinafter calculated, not only the proportionate relative fault of the indemnifying party and the indemnified party, but also the relative benefits received by the indemnifying party on the one hand and the indemnified party on the other, as well as any other relevant equitable considerations. No indemnified party guilty of fraudulent misrepresentation (within the meaning of Section 11(f) of the Securities Act) shall be entitled to contribution from any indemnifying party who was not guilty of such fraudulent misrepresentation.

 

9. Rule 144. With a view to making available to the Holders the benefits of SEC Rule 144 and any other rule or regulation of the SEC that may at any time permit the Holders to sell the Registrable Securities to the public without registration, during the Effectiveness Period, the Company agrees to use commercially reasonable efforts to: (i) to make and keep public information available as those terms are understood in Rule 144, (ii) to file with the SEC in a timely manner all reports and other documents required to be filed by an issuer of securities registered under the Securities Act or the Exchange Act pursuant to Rule 144, (iii) as long as any Holder owns any Registrable Securities, to furnish in writing upon such Holder’s request a written statement by the Company that it has complied with the reporting requirements of Rule 144 and of the Securities Act and the Exchange Act, and to furnish to such Holder a copy of the most recent annual or quarterly report of the Company, and such other reports and documents so filed by the Company as may be reasonably requested in availing such Holder of any rule or regulation of the SEC permitting the selling of any such Registrable Securities without registration, (iv) with respect to the sale of any Registrable Securities by a Holder pursuant to Rule 144 and subject to Holder providing necessary documentation to meet the requirements of such rule, to promptly furnish, without any charge to such Holder, a written legal opinion of its counsel to facilitate such sale and, if necessary, instruct its transfer agent in writing that it may rely on said written legal opinion of counsel with respect to said sale and (v) undertake any additional actions commercially necessary to maintain the availability of Rule 144.

PAVmed Closes Preferred Stock and Senior Secured Note Financings, Eliminating All Previously Outstanding Convertible Securities

 

Series D Preferred Stock offering yielded $30 million of gross proceeds and includes warrants exercisable for up to an additional $30 million upon publication of a positive draft EsoGuard Medicare local coverage determination

 

Series D Preferred Stock convertible into common stock subject to stockholder approval at an upcoming special meeting

 

New senior secured note with three-year maturity yielded an additional $15 million of gross proceeds

 

Proceeds used to redeem and retire all previously outstanding convertible securities, eliminating a significant legacy capital structure overhang

 

Transactions yielded approximately $7.7 million in net cash proceeds, materially strengthening the Company’s balance sheet

 

NEW YORK, February 4, 2026 — PAVmed Inc. (Nasdaq: PAVM) (“PAVmed” or the “Company”), a diversified commercial-stage medical technology company, operating in the medical device, diagnostics, and digital health sectors, today announced the closing of preferred stock and senior secured note financings by existing long-term investors, resulting in the elimination of a significant legacy capital structure overhang from previously outstanding convertible securities and a materially strengthened balance sheet.

 

The Company has issued $30 million of newly designated Series D Convertible Preferred Stock with warrants exercisable for up to an additional $30 million of Series D Convertible Preferred Stock, callable upon publication of a positive draft Medicare local coverage determination (LCD) for the EsoGuard Esophageal DNA Test offered by its subsidiary, Lucid Diagnostics, Inc. (Nasdaq: LUCD) (“Lucid”). The Company will convene a special meeting of its stockholders no later than April 30, 2026, to seek approval for the conversion of the Series D Preferred Stock into common stock with a conversion price of $6.50 per share of common stock. The Company has executed voting agreements with stockholders representing approximately 25 percent of its outstanding common stock in support of such approval. The Company has concurrently issued a $15 million senior secured note with a February 2029 maturity to an existing investor.

 

The Company used the proceeds from these financings, consisting of a $22.3 million cash payment and the $15 million long-term senior secured note, to redeem all outstanding shares of its Series C Convertible Preferred Stock, and fully retire its outstanding convertible debt. The remaining $7.7 million in net cash proceeds will be available for general working capital purposes. In total, assuming exercise of the associated warrants upon publication of a positive EsoGuard LCD and conversion of the Series D Convertible Preferred Stock upon stockholder approval, these financings would yield a clean capital structure consisting entirely of common stock and long-term debt, while adding approximately $37.7 million in cash to the balance sheet. In addition, PAVmed continues to hold 31 million shares of Lucid common stock on its balance sheet.

 

 

 

 

“This transaction represents a decisive and transformational positive outcome following more than a year of deliberate, systematic work to permanently fix PAVmed’s legacy capital structure by eliminating the overhang of its convertible securities to unlock the full strength of its assets for the benefit of its shareholders,” said PAVmed Chairman and Chief Executive Officer, Lishan Aklog, M.D. “We are grateful for the deep commitment of our core long-term investors and their continued confidence in the future of this company and its subsidiaries. Armed with a clean capital structure and substantially strengthened balance sheet, PAVmed is now poised to execute on its founding mission to become a high-growth diversified commercial life sciences company with multiple independently financed subsidiaries leveraging a shared services model. As Lucid’s largest shareholder, PAVmed is exceptionally well positioned to benefit from its upcoming major value inflection points. PAVmed’s majority-owned digital health subsidiary, Veris Health Inc., is likewise positioned to accelerate execution of its strategic plan. Finally, we now have the capital structure and resources to actively pursue and capitalize on additional commercial opportunities with the potential to enhance long-term shareholder value.”

 

Additional details regarding the Series D Convertible Preferred Stock, the warrants, the redemption of the Series C Convertible Preferred Stock, the Company’s recently outstanding and new debt, and related voting agreements are included in the Company’s Current Report on Form 8-K filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission.
