SecuritiesPurchase Agreements

On May 10, 2022, Malachite Innovations, Inc. (the “Company”) entered into a securities purchase agreement (the “Indemnity National Agreement”) with Indemnity National Insurance Company (“Indemnity National”) providing for the issuance and sale by the Company to Indemnity National of (i) 13,333,333 shares of the Company’s common stock (the “Indemnity National Shares”) at a price of $0.15 per share and (ii) warrants to purchase up to an additional 13,333,333 shares of the Company’s common stock (the “Indemnity National Warrant”, and the shares issuable upon exercise of the Warrant, the “Indemnity National Warrant Shares”) at a price of $0.60 per share. After deducting for fees and expenses, the aggregate net proceeds from the sale of the Indemnity National Shares and Indemnity National Warrant is approximately $1,950,000.

Also on May 10, 2022, the Company entered into a securities purchase agreement (the “Tower IV Agreement”) with Tower IV LLC (“Tower IV”) providing for the issuance and sale by the Company to Tower IV of (i) 6,666,667 shares of the Company’s common stock (the “Tower IV Shares”) at a price of $0.15 per share and (ii) warrants to purchase up to an additional 6,666,667 shares of the Company’s common stock (the “Tower IV Warrant”, and the shares issuable upon exercise of the Tower IV Warrant, the “Tower IV Warrant Shares”) at a price of $0.60 per share. After deducting for fees and expenses, the aggregate net proceeds from the sale of the Tower IV Shares and the Tower IV Warrant is approximately $950,000.

The Indemnity National Warrant and the Tower IV Warrant are immediately exercisable and expire on the five-year anniversary of the date of issuance, which is May 10, 2027. The exercise prices of the Indemnity National Warrant and the Tower IV Warrant are subject to adjustment for stock dividends and splits, and pro rata distributions to the Company’s common stockholders. If Indemnity National and Tower IV exercise the Indemnity National Warrant and the Tower IV Warrant, respectively, within five years, the Company would receive additional aggregate net proceeds of approximately $12,000,000.

The Indemnity National Agreement and the Tower IV Agreement contain the customary representations, warranties, indemnification rights and obligations of the parties in agreements of this type, including that the Company will make reasonable efforts to file a registration statement under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”), to register the Indemnity National Shares, the Tower IV Shares, the Indemnity National Warrant Shares and the Tower IV Warrant Shares within a reasonable time following the closing. The transactions represented by the Indemnity National Agreement and the Tower IV Agreement closed on May 10, 2022.

The sale of the Indemnity National Shares, the Tower IV Shares, the Indemnity National Warrant Shares and the Tower IV Warrant Shares was made in a private placement transaction, pursuant to the exemption provided by Section 4(a)(2) of the Securities Act and certain rules and regulations promulgated under that section and pursuant to exemptions under state securities laws, as a sale to “accredited investors” as defined in Rule 501(a) of the Securities Act.

The foregoing description of the Indemnity National Agreement and the Tower IV Agreement does not purport to be complete and is qualified in its entirety by reference to the full text of the Indemnity National Agreement and the Tower IV Agreement attached hereto as Exhibits 10.1 and 10.2, respectively.

Tower IV is considered an affiliate of the Company because Mr. Joseph E. LoConti controls Tower IV and Mr. LoConti owns or controls more than 10% of the outstanding common shares of the Company. Indemnity National is not related to Mr. LoConti.

SharePurchase Agreement

On May 11, 2022, the Company entered into a Share Purchase Agreement by and among the Company, Daedalus Ecosciences, Inc., a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company (“Daedalus Ecosciences”), Range Environmental Resources, Inc., a West Virginia corporation (“Range Environmental Resources”), Range Natural Resources, Inc., a West Virginia corporation (“Range Natural Resources”), Mr. Jeremy Starks and Mr. Joshua Justice (the “Share Purchase Agreement”), attached hereto as Exhibit 10.3, under which the Company would issue a total of 10,000,000 shares of the Company’s common stock to Mr. Starks and Mr. Justice and Daedalus Ecosciences would pay cash consideration in an amount equal to $1,000,000 to Mr. Starks and Mr. Justice for 80% of the outstanding common stock of each of Range Environmental Resources and Range Natural Resources.

The foregoing description of the Share Purchase Agreement does not purport to be complete and is qualified in its entirety by reference to the full text of the Share Purchase Agreement attached hereto as Exhibit 10.3.

Item2.01. Completion of Acquisition or Disposition of Assets

The information set forth in Item 1.01 above is hereby incorporated by reference into this Item 2.02 in its entirety.

Range Environmental Resources is engaged in the environmental services business and primarily focuses on the reclamation of former coal mines and the remediation of non-compliant streams and waterways. Range Natural Resources is a recently-formed entity that will extract natural resources incidental to the reclamation and remediation services provided by Range Environmental Resources.

Item3.02. Unregistered Sales of Equity Securities.

The information set forth in Item 1.01 above is hereby incorporated by reference into this Item 3.02 in its entirety.

The sale of the Indemnity National Shares and the Tower IV Shares were exempt from the registration requirements of the Securities Act as transactions by an issuer not involved in any public offering under Section 4(a)(2) of the Securities Act and Rule 506 of Regulation D promulgated under the Securities Act (“Regulation D”). The Company made this determination based on the representations of Indemnity National and Tower IV in the Indemnity National Agreement and the Tower IV Agreement, respectively, including, but not limited to, that each of them is an “accredited investor” within the meaning of Rule 501 of Regulation D and had access to full and complete information about the Company and their respective investment.

Pursuant to the Share Purchase Agreement, the Company issued 5,000,000 unregistered shares of the Company’s common stock to each of Mr. Starks and Mr. Justice. The issuance of these shares was exempt from the registration requirements of the Securities Act as transactions by an issuer not involved in any public offering under Section 4(a)(2) of the Securities Act and Rule 506 of Regulation D. The Company made this determination based on the representations of Mr. Starks and Mr. Justice that each of them is an “accredited investor” within the meaning of Rule 501 of Regulation D and had access to full and complete information about the Company and their respective investment.

The issuance and sale of the Securities will not obligate the Company to issue shares of Common Stock or other securities to any Person (other than the Purchaser) and will not result in a right of any holder of Company securities to adjust the exercise, conversion, exchange or reset price under any of such securities, and no Company securities are outstanding as of the date hereof which contain such price-based anti-dilution or reset protections. All of the outstanding shares of capital stock of the Company are duly authorized, validly issued, fully paid and nonassessable, have been issued in compliance with all federal and state securities laws, and none of such outstanding shares was issued in violation of any preemptive rights or similar rights to subscribe for or purchase securities.

(h) SEC Reports; Financial Statements. The Company has filed all reports, schedules, forms, statements and other documents required to be filed by the Company under the Securities Act and the Exchange Act, including pursuant to Section 13(a) or 15(d) thereof, for the two years preceding the date hereof (or such shorter period as the Company was required by law or regulation to file such material) (the foregoing materials, including the exhibits thereto and documents incorporated by reference therein, being collectively referred to herein as the “SEC Reports”) on a timely basis or has received a valid extension of such time of filing and has filed any such SEC Reports prior to the expiration of any such extension.

OTHER AGREEMENTS OF THE PARTIES

4.1 Transfer Restrictions. The Securities may only be disposed of in compliance with state and federal securities laws. In connection with any transfer of Securities other than pursuant to an effective Registration Statement or Rule 144, the Company may require the transferor thereof to 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 Securities under the Securities Act. As a condition of transfer, any such transferee shall agree in writing to be bound by the terms of this Agreement and shall have the rights and obligations of the Purchaser under this Agreement. The Purchaser agrees to the imprinting, so long as is required by this Section 4.1, of a legend on any of the Securities in substantially the following form:

THIS SECURITY HAS NOT BEEN REGISTERED WITH THE SECURITIES AND EXCHANGE COMMISSION OR THE SECURITIES COMMISSION OF ANY STATE IN RELIANCE UPON AN EXEMPTION FROM REGISTRATION UNDER THE SECURITIES ACT OF 1933, AS AMENDED (THE “SECURITIES ACT”), AND, ACCORDINGLY, MAY NOT BE OFFERED OR SOLD EXCEPT PURSUANT TO AN EFFECTIVE REGISTRATION STATEMENT UNDER THE SECURITIES ACT OR PURSUANT TO AN AVAILABLE EXEMPTION FROM, OR IN A TRANSACTION NOT SUBJECT TO, THE REGISTRATION REQUIREMENTS OF THE SECURITIES ACT AND IN ACCORDANCE WITH APPLICABLE STATE SECURITIES LAWS. THIS SECURITY MAY BE PLEDGED IN CONNECTION WITH A BONA FIDE MARGIN ACCOUNT WITH A REGISTERED BROKER-DEALER OR OTHER LOAN WITH A FINANCIAL INSTITUTION THAT IS AN “ACCREDITED INVESTOR” AS DEFINED IN RULE 501(a) UNDER THE SECURITIES ACT OR OTHER LOAN SECURED BY SUCH SECURITIES.

The Company acknowledges and agrees that the Purchaser may from time to time pledge pursuant to a bona fide margin agreement with a registered broker-dealer or grant a security interest in some or all of the Shares to a financial institution that is an “accredited investor” as defined in Rule 501(a) under the Securities Act and who agrees to be bound by the provisions of this Agreement and, if required under the terms of such arrangement, the Purchaser may transfer pledged or secured Shares to the pledgees or secured parties. Such a pledge or transfer would not be subject to approval of the Company and no legal opinion of legal counsel of the pledgee, secured party or pledgor shall be required in connection therewith. Further, no notice shall be required of such pledge. At the Purchaser’s expense, the Company will execute and deliver such reasonable documentation as a pledgee or secured party of Shares may reasonably request in connection with a pledge or transfer of the Shares.

Certificates evidencing the Shares, if issued, shall not contain any legend (including the legend set forth in this Section 4.1), (i) while a Registration Statement covering the resale of such security is effective under the Securities Act, (ii) following any sale of such Shares pursuant to Rule 144 (assuming the transferor is not an Affiliate of the Company), (iii) if such Shares are eligible for sale under Rule 144 (provided that Purchaser provides the Company with reasonable assurances that such Securities are eligible for sale, assignment or transfer under Rule 144 which shall include an opinion of Purchaser’s counsel), (iv) in connection with a sale, assignment or other transfer (other than under Rule 144), provided that Purchaser provides the Company with an opinion of counsel to Purchaser, in a generally acceptable form, to the effect that such sale, assignment or transfer of the Securities may be made without registration under the applicable requirements of the 1933 Act; or (v) if such legend is not required under applicable requirements of the Securities Act (including judicial interpretations and pronouncements issued by the staff of the Commission) .

The Purchaser agrees with the Company that the Purchaser will sell any Securities pursuant to either the registration requirements of the Securities Act, including any applicable prospectus delivery requirements, or an exemption therefrom, and that if Securities are sold pursuant to a Registration Statement, they will be sold in compliance with the plan of distribution set forth therein, and acknowledges that the removal of the restrictive legend from certificates representing Securities as set forth in this Section 4.1 is predicated upon the Company’s reliance upon this understanding.

4.2 Warrant Shares. If all or any portion of the Warrant is exercised at a time when there is an effective Registration Statement to cover the issuance or resale of the Warrant Shares, then the Warrant Shares issued pursuant to any such exercise shall be issued free of all legends.

4.3 Integration. The Company shall not sell, offer for sale or solicit offers to buy or otherwise negotiate in respect of any security (as defined in Section 2 of the Securities Act) that would be integrated with the offer or sale of the Securities in a manner that would require the registration under the Securities Act of the sale of the Securities or that would be integrated with the offer or sale of the Securities for purposes of the rules and regulations of any Trading Market such that it would require shareholder approval prior to the closing of such other transaction unless shareholder approval is obtained before the closing of such subsequent transaction.

4.4 Shareholder Rights Plan. No claim will be made or enforced by the Company or, with the consent of the Company, any other Person, that the Purchaser is an “Acquiring Person” under any control share acquisition, business combination, poison pill (including any distribution under a rights agreement) or similar anti-takeover plan or arrangement in effect or hereafter adopted by the Company, or that the Purchaser could be deemed to trigger the provisions of any such plan or arrangement, by virtue of receiving Securities under the Transaction Documents or under any other agreement between the Company and the Purchaser.

4.5 Non-Public Information. Except with respect to the material terms and conditions of the transactions contemplated by the Transaction Documents, the Company covenants and agrees that neither it, nor any other Person acting on its behalf, will provide the Purchaser or its agents or counsel with any information that the Company believes constitutes material non-public information, unless prior thereto the Purchaser shall have entered into a written agreement with the Company regarding the confidentiality and use of such information. The Company understands and confirms that the Purchaser shall be relying on the foregoing covenant in effecting transactions in securities of the Company.

4.6 Indemnification of Purchaser. Subject to the provisions of this Section 4.6, the Company will indemnify and hold the Purchaser and its directors, officers, shareholders, members, partners, employees and agents (and any other Persons with a functionally equivalent role of a Person holding such titles notwithstanding a lack of such title or any other title), each Person who controls the Purchaser (within the meaning of Section 15 of the Securities Act and Section 20 of the Exchange Act), and the directors, officers, shareholders, agents, members, partners or employees (and any other Persons with a functionally equivalent role of a Person holding such titles notwithstanding a lack of such title or any other title) of such controlling persons (each, a “Purchaser Party”) harmless from any and all losses, liabilities, obligations, claims, contingencies, damages, costs and expenses, including all judgments, amounts paid in settlements, court costs and reasonable attorneys’ fees and costs of investigation that any such Purchaser Party may suffer or incur as a result of or relating to (a) any breach of any of the representations, warranties, covenants or agreements made by the Company in this Agreement or in the other Transaction Document or (b) any action instituted against any Purchaser Party in any capacity, or any of them or their respective Affiliates, by any stockholder of the Company who is not an Affiliate of such Purchaser Party, with respect to any of the transactions contemplated by the Transaction Documents (unless such action is based upon a breach of such Purchaser Party’s representations, warranties or covenants under the Transaction Documents or any agreements or understandings such Purchaser Party may have with any such stockholder or any violations by such Purchaser Party of state or federal securities laws or any conduct by such Purchaser Party which constitutes fraud, gross negligence, willful misconduct or malfeasance). If any action shall be brought against any Purchaser Party in respect of which indemnity may be sought pursuant to this Agreement, such Purchaser Party shall promptly notify the Company in writing, and the Company shall have the right to assume the defense thereof with counsel of its own choosing reasonably acceptable to the Purchaser Party. Any Purchaser Party shall have the right to employ separate counsel in any such action and participate in the defense thereof, but the fees and expenses of such counsel shall be at the expense of such Purchaser Party except to the extent that (i) the employment thereof has been specifically authorized by the Company in writing, (ii) the Company has failed after a reasonable period of time to assume such defense and to employ counsel or (iii) in such action there is, in the reasonable opinion of counsel, a material conflict on any material issue between the position of the Company and the position of such Purchaser Party, in which case the Company shall be responsible for the reasonable fees and expenses of no more than one such separate counsel. The Company will not be liable to any Purchaser Party under this Agreement (y) for any settlement by a Purchaser Party effected without the Company’s prior written consent, which shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed; or (z) to the extent, but only to the extent that a loss, claim, damage or liability is attributable to any Purchaser Party’s breach of any of the representations, warranties, covenants or agreements made by such Purchaser Party in this Agreement or in the other Transaction Documents. The indemnification required by this Section 4.6 shall be made by periodic payments of the amount thereof during the course of the investigation or defense, as and when bills are received or are incurred, subject to recoupment if the Purchaser Party is found to not be entitled to indemnification for such amount(s). The indemnity agreements contained herein shall be in addition to any cause of action or similar right of any Purchaser Party against the Company or others and any liabilities the Company may be subject to pursuant to law.

4.7 Reservation of Common Stock. As of the date hereof, the Company has reserved and thereafter, the Company shall continue to reserve and keep available at all times, free of preemptive rights, a sufficient number of shares of Common Stock for the purpose of enabling the Company to issue Shares pursuant to this Agreement and Warrant Shares pursuant to any exercise of the Warrants.

4.8 Listing of Common Stock. The Company hereby agrees to use best efforts to maintain the listing or quotation of the Common Stock on the Trading Market on which it is currently listed. The Company further agrees, if the Company applies to have the Common Stock traded on any other Trading Market other than its current Trading Market, it will then include in such application all of the Shares and Warrant Shares, and will take such other action as is necessary to cause all of the Shares and Warrant Shares to be listed or quoted on such other Trading Market as promptly as possible. For so long as the Common Stock trades or is listed for quotation on a Trading Market, the Company agrees to maintain the eligibility of the Common Stock for electronic transfer through the Depository Trust Company or another established clearing corporation, including, without limitation, by timely payment of fees to the Depository Trust Company or such other established clearing corporation in connection with such electronic transfer.

4.9 Blue Sky Filings. The Company shall take such action as the Company shall reasonably determine is necessary in order to obtain an exemption for, or to qualify the Securities for, sale to the Purchaser at the Closing under applicable securities or “Blue Sky” laws of the states of the United States, and shall provide evidence of such actions promptly upon request of the Purchaser.

4.10 Certain Transactions and Confidentiality. The Purchaser covenants that neither it nor any Affiliate acting on its behalf or pursuant to any understanding with it will execute any purchases or sales, including Short Sales of any of the Company’s securities during the period commencing with the execution of this Agreement and ending at such time that the transactions contemplated by this Agreement are first publicly announced. The Purchaser covenants that until such time as the transactions contemplated by this Agreement are publicly disclosed by the Company, the Purchaser will maintain the confidentiality of the existence and terms of this transaction and the information included in the Transaction Documents and the Disclosure Schedules. Notwithstanding the foregoing, and notwithstanding anything contained in this Agreement to the contrary, the Company expressly acknowledges and agrees that (i) the Purchaser makes no representation, warranty or covenant hereby that it will not engage in effecting transactions in any securities of the Company after the time that the transactions contemplated by this Agreement are first publicly announced, (ii) the Purchaser shall not be restricted or prohibited from effecting any transactions in any securities of the Company in accordance with applicable securities laws from and after the time that the transactions contemplated by this Agreement are first publicly announced and (iii) the Purchaser shall not have any duty of confidentiality to the Company or its Subsidiaries after the issuance of the initial disclosure of the transaction.

4.11 Form D; Blue Sky Filings. The Company agrees to timely file a Form D with respect to the Shares as required under Regulation D and to provide a copy thereof, promptly upon request of the Purchaser. The Company shall take such action as the Company shall reasonably determine is necessary in order to obtain an exemption for, or to qualify the Shares for, sale to the Purchaser at the Closing under applicable securities or “Blue Sky” laws of the states of the United States, and shall provide evidence of such actions promptly upon request of the Purchaser.

4.12 Securities Laws Disclosure; Publicity. The Company shall, by 9:00 a.m. (New York City time) on the Trading Day immediately following the date hereof, file a Current Report on Form 8-K disclosing the material terms of the transactions contemplated hereby, including the Transaction Documents as exhibits thereto. The Company and the Purchaser shall consult with each other in issuing any other disclosures with respect to the transactions contemplated hereby, and neither the Company nor the Purchaser shall issue any such press release nor otherwise make any such public statement without the prior consent of the Company, with respect to any press release of the Purchaser, or without the prior consent of the Purchaser, with respect to any press release of the Company, which consent shall not unreasonably be withheld or delayed, except if such disclosure is required by law, in which case the disclosing party shall promptly provide the other party with prior notice of such public statement or communication.

5.9 Governing Law; Venue.

Each party hereby irrevocably submits to the exclusive jurisdiction of the state and federal courts sitting in the State of Ohio for the adjudication of any dispute hereunder or in connection herewith or with any transaction contemplated hereby or discussed herein (including with respect to the enforcement of any of the Transaction Documents), and hereby irrevocably waives, and agrees not to assert in any Action or Proceeding, any claim that it is not personally subject to the jurisdiction of any such court, that such Action or Proceeding is improper or is an inconvenient venue for such Proceeding. Each party hereby irrevocably waives personal service of process and consents to process being served in any such Action or Proceeding by mailing a copy thereof via registered or certified mail or overnight delivery (with evidence of delivery) to such party at the address in effect for notices to it under this Agreement and agrees that such service shall constitute good and sufficient service of process and notice thereof.

5.11 Survival. Unless otherwise set forth in this Agreement, the representations and warranties of the Company and the Purchaser shall survive the execution and delivery of this Agreement and the Closing for a period of eighteen (18) months after the Closing, provided that any claim made by the Company or the Purchaser with regard to such representations or warranties shall survive until resolved, and shall in no way be affected by any investigation or knowledge of the subject matter thereof made by or on behalf of the Purchaser or the Company. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the representations and warranties made in Sections 3.1(a), 3.1(b), 3.1(c), 3.1(f), and 3.2(a) shall survive indefinitely.

5.12 Execution. This Agreement may be executed in two or more counterparts, all of which when taken together shall be considered one and the same agreement and shall become effective when counterparts have been signed by each party and delivered to each other party, it being understood that the parties need not sign the same counterpart. In the event that any signature is delivered by e-mail delivery of a “.pdf” format data file, such signature shall create a valid and binding obligation of the party executing (or on whose behalf such signature is executed) with the same force and effect as if such “.pdf” signature page were an original thereof.

5.13 Severability. If any term, provision, covenant or restriction of this Agreement is held by a court of competent jurisdiction to be invalid, illegal, void or unenforceable, the remainder of the terms, provisions, covenants and restrictions set forth herein shall remain in full force and effect and shall in no way be affected, impaired or invalidated, and the parties hereto shall use their commercially reasonable efforts to find and employ an alternative means to achieve the same or substantially the same result as that contemplated by such term, provision, covenant or restriction. It is hereby stipulated and declared to be the intention of the parties that they would have executed the remaining terms, provisions, covenants and restrictions without including any of such that may be hereafter declared invalid, illegal, void or unenforceable.

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

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

5.16 Payment Set Aside. To the extent that the Company makes a payment or payments to the Purchaser pursuant to any Transaction Document or the Purchaser enforces or exercises its rights thereunder, and such payment or payments or the proceeds of such enforcement or exercise or any part thereof are subsequently invalidated, declared to be fraudulent or preferential, set aside, recovered from, disgorged by or are required to be refunded, repaid or otherwise restored to the Company, a trustee, receiver or any other Person under any law (including, without limitation, any bankruptcy law, state or federal law, common law or equitable cause of action), then to the extent of any such restoration the obligation or part thereof originally intended to be satisfied shall be revived and continued in full force and effect as if such payment had not been made or such enforcement or setoff had not occurred.

5.17 Business Day. 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.

5.18 Construction. The parties agree that each of them and their respective counsel have reviewed and had an opportunity to revise the Transaction Documents and, therefore, the normal rule of construction to the effect that any ambiguities are to be resolved against the drafting party shall not be employed in the interpretation of the Transaction Documents or any amendments thereto. In addition, each and every reference to share prices and shares of Common Stock in any Transaction Document shall be subject to adjustment for reverse and forward stock splits, stock dividends, stock combinations and other similar transactions of the Common Stock that occur after the date of this Agreement.
