Item 1.01 Entry
into a Material Definitive Agreement.
On February 21, 2025, Sonim Technologies, Inc. (the “Company”) entered into a note purchase agreement (the “Purchase Agreement”) with Streeterville Capital, LLC (the “Lender”) pursuant to which the Company issued and sold to the Lender a promissory note in the original principal amount of $3,300,000 (the “Note”).
The PurchaseAgreement
Pursuant to the terms of the Purchase Agreement, until all of the Company’s obligations under the Note and all other transaction documents are paid and performed in full, the Company agreed to comply with certain covenants, including but not limited to the following: (i) compliance with its filing requirements under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, (ii) maintaining the Company’s listing on a national securities exchange, and (iii) refraining from making any Restricted Issuances (as defined in the Purchase Agreement and described below) without the Lender’s prior written consent, which consent may be granted or withheld in the Lender’s sole discretion.
Subject to certain customary exceptions set forth in the Purchase Agreement, Restricted Issuances include the incurrence or guaranty of any debt obligations other than trade payables in the ordinary course of business, the issuance of any convertible securities in which the number of shares that may be issued pursuant to a conversion right, or the conversion price, varies with the market price of the Company’s common stock, the issuance of any securities with reset provisions and the issuance of any securities in connection with Section 3(a)(9) exchange, a Section 3(a)(10) settlement, or any other similar settlement or exchange. Restricted Issuances do not include ATM facilities, commercial bank loans or lines of credit, leases, grants pursuant to the Company’s incentive plans, and change-in-control transactions that result in full repayment of the Note upon consummation.
The Purchase Agreement also contains a “most favored nation” clause. Under this provision, for as long as the Note remains outstanding, if the Company issues any debt security with more favorable economic terms or conditions not similarly provided to the Lender, the Company must notify the Lender. At the Lender’s option, such favorable terms will become part of the Note and related transaction documents.
The Note
The Note carries an original issue discount of $270,000, and the Company agreed to pay $30,000 to the Lender to cover its legal fees, accounting costs, due diligence, monitoring, and other transaction costs, each of which was deducted from the proceeds of the Note received by the Company resulting in a purchase price of $3,000,000 received by the Company. Additionally, if the Note remains outstanding on the ninety (90) day anniversary of the issuance, the Company will incur a one-time monitoring fee equal to the difference between (i) the outstanding balance of the Note divided by 0.85 (as minuend), and (ii) the outstanding balance of the Note (as subtrahend).
Interest under the Note accrues at a rate of nine percent (9%) per annum. The unpaid amount of the Note, any interest, fees, charges, and late fees are due eighteen (18) months following the date of issuance. The Company may prepay all or any portion of the outstanding balance of the Note. If the Company elects to prepay the Note in part, it will be required to pay to the Lender an amount in cash equal to 110% of the portion of the outstanding balance the Company elects to prepay.
Commencing six (6) months after the date of issuance of the Note and at any time thereafter until the Note is paid in full, the Lender will have the right to redeem up to $330,000 under the Note per calendar month. The Company must pay the redeemed amount in cash within three (3) trading days of receiving a redemption notice. On three (3) separate occasions and not more than once every ninety (90) calendar days, the Company may defer any redemptions the Lender could otherwise make during a calendar month, provided, however, that each deferral increases the outstanding balance of the Note by one percent (1%).
At any time following the occurrence of a Major Trigger Event or Minor Trigger Event (each as defined in the Note), the Lender may increase the outstanding balance of the Note by fifteen percent (15%) for each occurrence of any Major Trigger Event and five percent (5%) for each occurrence of any Minor Trigger Event (the “Trigger Effect”), provided that the Trigger Effect may only be applied three (3) times with respect to Major Trigger Events and three (3) times with respect to Minor Trigger Events.
| 2 |
| --- |
Subject to certain exceptions described below, if the Company fails to cure a Trigger Event within five (5) trading days following the date of transmission of written demand notice by the Lender, the Trigger Event will automatically become an Event of Default (as defined in the Note). Following the occurrence of any Event of Default, the Lender may, upon written notice to the Company, (i) accelerate the Note, with the outstanding balance of the Note following application of the Trigger Effect (the “Mandatory Default Amount”) becoming immediately due and payable in cash, and (ii) cause interest on the outstanding balance of the Note beginning on the date the applicable Event of Default occurred to accrue at an interest rate equal to the lesser of twenty-two percent (22%) per annum or the maximum rate permitted under applicable law. However, certain Trigger Events, such as bankruptcy or insolvency, automatically result in an Event of Default, making the outstanding balance immediately payable at the Mandatory Default Amount without notice.

PROMISSORYNOTE
| Effective<br> Date: February 21, 2025 | U.S.<br> $3,300,000.00 |
|---|
FOR VALUE RECEIVED, Sonim Technologies, Inc., a Delaware corporation (“Borrower”), promises to pay to Streeterville Capital, LLC, a Utah limited liability company, or its successors or assigns (“Lender”), $3,300,000.00 and any interest, fees, charges, and late fees accrued hereunder on the date that is eighteen (18) months after the Effective Date (the “Maturity Date”) in accordance with the terms set forth herein and to pay interest on the Outstanding Balance at the rate of nine percent (9%) per annum from the Effective Date until the same is paid in full. This Promissory Note (this “Note”) is issued and made effective as of February 21, 2025 (the “Effective Date”). All interest calculations hereunder shall be computed on the basis of a 360-day year comprised of twelve (12) thirty (30) day months, shall compound daily and shall be payable in accordance with the terms of this Note. This Note is issued pursuant to that certain Note Purchase Agreement dated February 21, 2025, as the same may be amended from time to time, by and between Borrower and Lender (the “Purchase Agreement”). Certain capitalized terms used herein are defined in Attachment 1 attached hereto and incorporated herein by this reference.
This Note carries an OID of $270,000.00. In addition, Borrower agrees to pay $30,000.00 to Lender to cover Lender’s legal fees, accounting costs, due diligence, monitoring and other transaction costs incurred in connection with the purchase and sale of this Note (the “TransactionExpense Amount”). The OID and the Transaction Expense Amount are included in the initial principal balance of this Note and are deemed to be fully earned and non-refundable as of the Purchase Price Date. The purchase price for this Note shall be $3,000,000.00 (the “Purchase Price”), computed as follows: $3,300,000.00 original principal balance, less the OID, less the Transaction Expense Amount. The Purchase Price is payable by Lender by wire transfer of immediately available funds.
1. Payment; Prepayment.
1.1. Payment. All payments owing hereunder shall be in lawful money of the United States of America and delivered to Lender at the address or bank account furnished by Lender to Borrower for that purpose. All payments shall be applied first to (a) Lender’s reasonable costs of collection, if any, then to (b) fees and charges hereunder, if any, then to (c) accrued and unpaid interest hereunder, and thereafter, to (d) principal hereunder.
1.2. Prepayment. Borrower may pay all or any portion of the Outstanding Balance earlier than it is due. If Borrower exercises its right to prepay this Note, Borrower shall make payment to Lender of an amount in cash equal to 110% multiplied by the portion of the Outstanding Balance Borrower elects to prepay. Early payments of less than all principal, fees and interest outstanding will not, unless agreed to by Lender in writing, relieve Borrower of Borrower’s remaining obligations hereunder.
2. Monitoring Fee. If this Note is outstanding on the ninety (90) day anniversary of the Purchase Price Date (the “MonitoringFee Date”), then Borrower will be charged a one-time fee to cover Lender’s accounting, legal and other costs incurred in monitoring this Note (the “Monitoring Fee”) equal to the Outstanding Balance divided by .85 less the Outstanding Balance. The Monitoring Fee will automatically be added to the Outstanding Balance on the Monitoring Fee Date without any further action required from Borrower or Lender. By way of example only, if the Outstanding Balance on the Monitoring Fee Date were $1,000,000.00, then the Monitoring Fee added to the Outstanding Balance would be $176,471.00 ($1,000,000.00/.85 - $1,000,000.00). Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Monitoring Fee and interest accrued on the Monitoring Fee will be forgiven, on a pro rata basis, each time Borrower makes a cash payment hereunder.
3. Security. This Note is unsecured.
4. Redemptions. Beginning on the six (6) month anniversary of the Purchase Price Date, Lender shall have the right, exercisable at any time in its sole and absolute discretion, to redeem up to $330,000.00 (such amount, the “Redemption Amount”) per calendar month by providing written notice to Borrower (each, a “Redemption Notice”). For the avoidance of doubt, Lender may submit to Borrower one (1) or more Redemption Notices in any given calendar month. Upon receipt of a Redemption Notice, Borrower shall pay the applicable Redemption Amount to Lender in cash within three (3) Trading Days of Borrower’s receipt of such Redemption Notice. Borrower shall have the right to defer all redemptions that Lender could otherwise elect to make during any calendar month on three (3) separate occasions by providing written notice to Lender at least three (3) Trading Days prior to the first day of each calendar month it wishes to defer redemptions for that month. In the event Borrower elects to exercise its deferral right, the Outstanding Balance shall automatically be increased by 1.00% for each time Borrower exercises the deferral right. Borrower may exercise its deferral rights no more than once every ninety (90) calendar days.
5. Trigger Events; Defaults; Remedies.
5.1. Trigger Events. The following are trigger events under this Note (each, a “Trigger Event”): (a) Borrower fails to pay any principal, interest, fees, charges, or any other amount when due and payable hereunder; (b) a receiver, trustee or other similar official shall be appointed over Borrower or a material part of its assets and such appointment shall remain uncontested for twenty (20) days or shall not be dismissed or discharged within sixty (60) days; (c) Borrower becomes insolvent or generally fails to pay, or admits in writing its inability to pay, its debts as they become due, subject to applicable grace periods, if any; (d) Borrower makes a general assignment for the benefit of creditors; (e) Borrower files a petition for relief under any bankruptcy, insolvency or similar law (domestic or foreign); (f) an involuntary bankruptcy proceeding is commenced or filed against Borrower; (g) Borrower fails to observe or perform any covenant set forth in Section 4 of the Purchase Agreement; (h) the occurrence of a Fundamental Transaction other than a Permitted Fundamental Transaction (as defined in the Purchase Agreement) without Lender’s prior written consent; (i) Borrower defaults or otherwise fails to observe or perform any covenant, obligation, condition or agreement contained herein or in any other Transaction Document (as defined in the Purchase Agreement) in any material respect, other than those specifically set forth in this Section 5.1 and Section 4 of the Purchase Agreement, and such default or failure is not cured within the longer of ten (10) Trading Days or the cure period for the applicable default or failure in any Transaction Document; (j) any representation, warranty or other statement made or furnished by or on behalf of Borrower to Lender herein, in any Transaction Document, or otherwise in connection with the issuance of this Note is false, incorrect, incomplete or misleading in any material respect when made or furnished and, if capable of cure, not cured within the longer of ten (10) Trading Days or the cure period for the applicable default or failure in any Transaction Document; (k) Borrower effectuates a reverse split of its Common Shares without twenty (20) Trading Days prior written notice to Lender other than a reverse split of the Common Shares to maintain compliance with the minimum bid price requirements of Nasdaq or other principal market; (l) any money judgment, writ or similar process is entered or filed against Borrower or any subsidiary of Borrower or any of its property or other assets for more than $500,000.00, and shall remain unvacated, unbonded or unstayed for a period of thirty (30) calendar days unless otherwise consented to by Lender; (m) Borrower fails to be DWAC Eligible; and (n) Borrower or any subsidiary of Borrower breaches any covenant or other term or condition contained in any Other Agreements.
5.2. Trigger Event Remedies. At any time following the occurrence of any Trigger Event, Lender may, at its option, increase the Outstanding Balance by applying the Trigger Effect (subject to the limitation set forth below).
| 2 |
| --- |
5.3. Defaults. At any time following the occurrence of a Trigger Event, Lender may, at its option, send written notice to Borrower demanding that Borrower cure such Trigger Event within five (5) Trading Days. If Borrower fails to cure the Trigger Event within the required five (5) Trading Day cure period, the Trigger Event will automatically become an event of default hereunder (an “Eventof Default”).
5.4. Default Remedies. At any time and from time to time following the occurrence of any Event of Default, Lender may accelerate this Note by written notice to Borrower, with the Outstanding Balance becoming immediately due and payable in cash at the Mandatory Default Amount. Notwithstanding the foregoing, upon the occurrence of any Trigger Event described in clauses 5.1(b) - 5.1(f), an Event of Default will be deemed to have occurred and the Outstanding Balance as of the date of the occurrence of such Trigger Event shall become immediately and automatically due and payable in cash at the Mandatory Default Amount, without any written notice required by Lender for the Trigger Event to become an Event of Default. At any time following the occurrence of any Event of Default, upon written notice given by Lender to Borrower, interest shall accrue on the Outstanding Balance beginning on the date the applicable Event of Default occurred at an interest rate equal to the lesser of twenty-two percent (22%) per annum or the maximum rate permitted under applicable law (“DefaultInterest”). In connection with acceleration described herein, Lender need not provide, and Borrower hereby waives, any presentment, demand, protest or other notice of any kind, and Lender may immediately and without expiration of any grace period enforce any and all of its rights and remedies hereunder and all other remedies available to it under applicable law. Such acceleration may be rescinded and annulled by Lender at any time prior to payment hereunder and Lender shall have all rights as a holder of the Note until such time, if any, as Lender receives full payment pursuant to this Section 5.4. No such rescission or annulment shall affect any subsequent Trigger Event or Event of Default or impair any right consequent thereon. Nothing herein shall limit Lender’s right to pursue any other remedies available to it at law or in equity.
6. Unconditional Obligation; No Offset. Borrower acknowledges that this Note is an unconditional, valid, binding and enforceable obligation of Borrower not subject to offset, deduction or counterclaim of any kind. Borrower hereby waives any rights of offset it now has or may have hereafter against Lender, its successors and assigns, and agrees to make the payments called for herein in accordance with the terms of this Note.
7. Waiver. No waiver of any provision of this Note shall be effective unless it is in the form of a writing signed by the party granting the waiver. No waiver of any provision or consent to any prohibited action shall constitute a waiver of any other provision or consent to any other prohibited action, whether or not similar. No waiver or consent shall constitute a continuing waiver or consent or commit a party to provide a waiver or consent in the future except to the extent specifically set forth in writing.
8. Governing Law; Venue. This Note shall be construed and enforced in accordance with, and all questions concerning the construction, validity, interpretation and performance of this Note shall be governed by, the internal laws of the State of Utah, without giving effect to any choice of law or conflict of law provision or rule (whether of the State of Utah or any other jurisdiction) that would cause the application of the laws of any jurisdiction other than the State of Utah. The provisions set forth in the Purchase Agreement to determine the proper venue for any disputes are incorporated herein by this reference.
9. Arbitration of Disputes. By its issuance or acceptance of this Note, each party agrees to be bound by the Arbitration Provisions (as defined in the Purchase Agreement) set forth as an exhibit to the Purchase Agreement with respect to any dispute regarding this Note.
10. Cancellation. After repayment of the entire Outstanding Balance, this Note shall be deemed paid in full, shall automatically be deemed canceled, and shall not be reissued.
| 3 |
| --- |
11. Amendments. The prior written consent of both parties hereto shall be required for any change or amendment to this Note.
12. Assignments. Borrower may not assign this Note without the prior written consent of Lender. This Note may be offered, sold, assigned or transferred by Lender to any of its affiliates that are permitted assignees of the Purchase Agreement, without the consent of Borrower, so long as such transfer is in accordance with applicable federal and state securities laws and prior written notice is provided to Borrower, provided that any such assignee of this Note agrees in writing to the terms of all Transaction Documents as though an original party thereto. Except as set forth above, Lender may not assign its rights or obligations under this Note or delegate its duties hereunder, whether directly or indirectly, without the prior written consent of Borrower, and any such attempted assignment or delegation shall be null and void.
13. Notices. Whenever notice is required to be given under this Note, unless otherwise provided herein, such notice shall be given in accordance with the subsection of the Purchase Agreement titled “Notices.”
14. Liquidated Damages. Lender and Borrower agree that in the event Borrower fails to comply with any of the terms or provisions of this Note, Lender’s damages would be uncertain and difficult (if not impossible) to accurately estimate because of the parties’ inability to predict future interest rates, future share prices, future trading volumes and other relevant factors. Accordingly, Lender and Borrower agree that any fees, balance adjustments, Default Interest or other charges assessed under this Note are not penalties but instead are intended by the parties to be, and shall be deemed, liquidated damages.
15. Severability. If any part of this Note is construed to be in violation of any law, such part shall be modified to achieve the objective of Borrower and Lender to the fullest extent permitted by law and the balance of this Note shall remain in full force and effect.

NOW,THEREFORE, in consideration of the above recitals and other good and valuable consideration, the receipt and sufficiency of which are hereby acknowledged, Company and Investor hereby agree as follows:
- Purchase and Sale of Note.
1.1. Purchase of Note. Company hereby agrees to issue and sell to Investor and Investor hereby agrees to purchase from Company the Note. In consideration thereof, Investor agrees to pay the Purchase Price (as defined below) to Company.
1.2. Form of Payment. On the Closing Date (as defined below), Investor shall pay the Purchase Price to Company via wire transfer of immediately available funds against delivery of the Note.
1.3. Closing Date. Subject to the satisfaction (or written waiver) of the conditions set forth in Section 5 and Section 6 below, the date of the issuance and sale of the Note pursuant to this Agreement (the “Closing Date”) shall be February 21, 2025, or such other mutually agreed upon date. The closing of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement (the “Closing”) shall occur on the Closing Date by means of the exchange by email of .pdf documents, but shall be deemed for all purposes to have occurred at the offices of Hansen Black Anderson Ashcraft PLLC in Lehi, Utah.
1.4. Collateral for the Note. The Note will be unsecured.

The OID and the Transaction Expense Amount are both included in the initial principal balance of the Note. The “Purchase Price,” therefore, shall be $3,000,000.00, computed as follows: $3,300,000.00 initial principal balance, less the OID, less the Transaction Expense Amount.

(i) so long as Investor beneficially owns the Note (as defined in the Note) thereafter, Company will timely file on the applicable deadline all reports required to be filed with the SEC pursuant to Sections 13 or 15(d) of the 1934 Act, and will take all reasonable action under its control to ensure that adequate current public information with respect to Company, as required in accordance with Rule 144 of the 1933 Act, is publicly available, and will not terminate its status as an issuer required to file reports under the 1934 Act even if the 1934 Act or the rules and regulations thereunder would permit such termination;
(ii) the Common Shares will be listed or quoted for trading on NYSE, NYSE American, or Nasdaq;
(iii) trading in Company’s Common Shares will not be suspended, halted, chilled, frozen, reach zero bid or otherwise cease trading on Company’s principal trading market;
| 5 |
| --- |
(iv) Company will not make any Restricted Issuance (as defined below) without Investor’s prior written consent, which consent may be granted or withheld in Investor’s sole and absolute discretion, provided, however, that no consent for a Restricted Issuance will be required if the proceeds from such Restricted Issuance are used to repay the Note in full; and
(v) [intentionally omitted].
For purposes hereof, the term “Restricted Issuance” means the issuance, incurrence or guaranty of any debt obligations other than trade payables in the ordinary course of business, or the issuance of any securities that: (1) have or may have conversion rights of any kind, contingent, conditional or otherwise, in which the number of shares that may be issued pursuant to such conversion right varies with the market price of the Common Shares, (2) are or may become convertible into Common Shares (including without limitation convertible debt, warrants or convertible preferred shares), with a conversion price that varies with the market price of the Common Shares, even if such security only becomes convertible following an event of default, the passage of time, or another trigger event or condition; (3) have a fixed conversion price, exercise price or exchange price that is subject to being reset at some future date at any time after the initial issuance of such debt or equity security (A) due to a change in the market price of Company’s Common Shares since the date of the initial issuance, or (B) upon the occurrence of specified or contingent events directly or indirectly related to the business of Company (including, without limitation, any “full ratchet” or “weighted average” anti-dilution provisions, but not including any standard anti-dilution protection for any reorganization, recapitalization, non-cash dividend, stock split or other similar transaction), or such security contains a fixed conversion price with a provision to increase the outstanding balance upon a breach or default; or (4) are issued in connection with a Section 3(a)(9) exchange, a Section 3(a)(10) settlement, or any other similar settlement or exchange. For the avoidance of doubt, none of the following will be considered Restricted Issuances: (i) issuances pursuant to ATM facilities; (ii) commercial bank loans and lines of credit; (iii) leases, (iv) grants of securities to employees, officers, directors and advisors pursuant to any compensation plans of the Company, including but not limited to the Company’s equity incentive plans then in effect, or (v) any transaction, including but not limited to a Fundamental Transaction (as such term is defined in the Note), if any such transaction contemplates the repayment of the Note in full upon consummation of such transaction (any Fundamental Transaction that contemplates the repayment of the Note in full upon consummation of such transaction shall be referred to as the “Permitted Fundamental Transaction”).
- Conditions to Company’s Obligation to Sell. The obligation of Company hereunder to issue and sell the Note to Investor at the Closing is subject to the satisfaction, on or before the Closing Date, of each of the following conditions:
5.1. Investor shall have executed the applicable Transaction Documents and delivered the same to Company.
5.2. Investor shall have delivered the Purchase Price to Company in accordance with Section 1.2 above.
| 6 |
| --- |
- Conditions to Investor’s Obligation to Purchase. The obligation of Investor hereunder to purchase the Note at the Closing is subject to the satisfaction, on or before the Closing Date, of each of the following conditions, provided that these conditions are for Investor’s sole benefit and may be waived by Investor at any time in its sole discretion:
6.1. Company shall have executed this Agreement and the Note and delivered the same to Investor.
6.2. Company shall have delivered to Investor a fully executed Officer’s Certificate substantially in the form attached hereto as Exhibit B evidencing Company’s approval of the Transaction Documents.
6.3. Company shall have delivered to Investor fully executed copies of all other Transaction Documents required to be executed by Company herein or therein.
Most Favored Nation. So long as the Note is outstanding, upon any issuance by Company of any debt security with any economic term or condition more favorable to the holder of such security or with a term in favor of the holder of such security that was not similarly provided to Investor in the Transaction Documents, then Company shall notify Investor of such additional or more favorable economic term and such term, at Investor’s option, shall become a part of the Transaction Documents for the benefit of Investor. Additionally, if Company fails to notify Investor of any such additional or more favorable term, but Investor becomes aware that Company has granted such a term to any third party, Investor may notify Company of such additional or more favorable term and such term shall become a part of the Transaction Documents retroactive to the date on which such term was granted to the applicable third party. The types of economic terms contained in another debt security that may be more favorable to the holder of such security include, but are not limited to, terms addressing convertibility, conversion discounts, conversion lookback periods, floor prices, interest rates, original issue discounts, stock sales prices, conversion prices, warrant coverage, warrant exercise prices, and anti-dilution/conversion and exercise price resets.
Reinvestment Right. During the period beginning on the Closing Date and ending on the date the Note is paid in full, Investor may, with Company’s consent, reinvest up to an additional $3,000,000.00 in Company in one or more tranches on the same terms and conditions as the Note.
Miscellaneous. The provisions set forth in this Section 9 shall apply to this Agreement, as well as all other Transaction Documents as if these terms were fully set forth therein; provided, however, that in the event there is a conflict between any provision set forth in this Section 9 and any provision in any other Transaction Document, the provision in such other Transaction Document shall govern.
9.1. Arbitration of Claims. The parties shall submit all Claims (as defined in Exhibit C) arising under this Agreement or any other Transaction Document or any other agreement between the parties and their affiliates or any Claim relating to the relationship of the parties to binding arbitration pursuant to the arbitration provisions set forth in Exhibit C attached hereto (the “Arbitration Provisions”). For the avoidance of doubt, the parties agree that the injunction described in Section 9.3 below may be pursued in an arbitration that is separate and apart from any other arbitration regarding all other Claims arising under the Transaction Documents. The parties hereby acknowledge and agree that the Arbitration Provisions are unconditionally binding on the parties hereto and are severable from all other provisions of this Agreement. By executing this Agreement, each party represents, warrants and covenants that Company has reviewed the Arbitration Provisions carefully, consulted with legal counsel about such provisions (or waived its right to do so), understands that the Arbitration Provisions are intended to allow for the expeditious and efficient resolution of any dispute hereunder, agrees to the terms and limitations set forth in the Arbitration Provisions, and that Company will not take a position contrary to the foregoing representations. Each party acknowledges and agrees that Investor may rely upon the foregoing representations and covenants of the other party regarding the Arbitration Provisions.

| --- |
9.2. Governing Law; Venue. This Agreement shall be construed and enforced in accordance with, and all questions concerning the construction, validity, interpretation and performance of this Agreement shall be governed by, the internal laws of the State of Utah, without giving effect to any choice of law or conflict of law provision or rule (whether of the State of Utah or any other jurisdiction) that would cause the application of the laws of any jurisdiction other than the State of Utah. Each party consents to and expressly agrees that the exclusive venue for arbitration of any dispute arising out of or relating to any Transaction Document or the relationship of the parties or their affiliates shall be in Salt Lake County, Utah. Without modifying the parties’ obligations to resolve disputes hereunder pursuant to the Arbitration Provisions, for any litigation arising in connection with any of the Transaction Documents, each party hereto hereby (i) consents to and expressly submits to the exclusive personal jurisdiction of any state or federal court sitting in Salt Lake County, Utah, (ii) expressly submits to the exclusive venue of any such court for the purposes hereof, (iii) agrees to not bring any such action outside of any state or federal court sitting in Salt Lake County, Utah, and (iv) waives any claim of improper venue and any claim or objection that such courts are an inconvenient forum or any other claim, defense or objection to the bringing of any such proceeding in such jurisdiction or to any claim that such venue of the suit, action or proceeding is improper.. Finally, Company covenants and agrees to name Investor as a party in interest in, and provide written notice to Investor in accordance with Section 9.9 below prior to bringing or filing any action (including without limitation any filing or action against any person or entity that is not a party to this Agreement) that is related in any way to the Transaction Documents or any transaction contemplated herein or therein, and further agrees to timely name Investor as a party to any such action. Company acknowledges that the governing law and venue provisions set forth in this Section 9.2 are material terms to induce Investor to enter into the Transaction Documents and that but for Company’s agreements set forth in this Section 9.2 Investor would not have entered into the Transaction Documents.
9.3. Specific Performance. Company acknowledges and agrees that Investor may suffer irreparable harm if Company fails to perform any material provision of this Agreement or any of the other Transaction Documents in accordance with its specific terms. It is accordingly agreed that Investor shall be entitled to one or more injunctions to prevent or cure breaches of the provisions of this Agreement or such other Transaction Document and to enforce specifically the terms and provisions hereof or thereof, this being in addition to any other remedy to which Investor may be entitled under the Transaction Documents, at law or in equity. Company specifically agrees that:
(i) following an Event of Default (as defined in the Note) under the Note, Investor shall have the right to seek and receive injunctive relief from a court or an arbitrator prohibiting Company from issuing any of its Common Shares or preferred stock to any party unless (a) fifty percent (50%) of the gross proceeds received by Company in connection with such issuance are simultaneously used by Company to make a payment under the Note or (b) the Note is paid in full as a result of such issuance; and
(ii) if Company or any of its subsidiaries enters into a definitive agreement that contemplates a Fundamental Transaction (as defined in the Note), unless such agreement contains a closing condition that the Note is repaid in full upon consummation of the transaction or Investor has provided its written consent in writing to such Fundamental Transaction, Investor shall have the right to seek and receive injunctive relief from a court or arbitrator preventing the consummation of such transaction.
Company specifically acknowledges that Investor’s right to obtain specific performance constitutes bargained for leverage and that the loss of such leverage would result in irreparable harm to Investor. For the avoidance of doubt, in the event Investor seeks to obtain an injunction from a court or an arbitrator against Company or specific performance of any provision of any Transaction Document, such action shall not be a waiver of any right of Investor under any Transaction Document, at law, or in equity, including without limitation its rights to arbitrate any Claim pursuant to the terms of the Transaction Documents, nor shall Investor’s pursuit of an injunction prevent Investor, under the doctrines of claim preclusion, issues preclusion, res judicata or other similar legal doctrines, from pursuing other Claims in the future in a separate arbitration.

9.4. Counterparts. Each Transaction Document may be executed in two (2) or more counterparts, each of which shall be deemed an original, but all of which together shall constitute one and the same instrument. Counterparts may be delivered via facsimile, electronic mail (including pdf or any electronic signature complying with the U.S. federal ESIGN Act of 2000, e.g., www.docusign.com) or other transmission method and any counterpart so delivered shall be deemed to have been duly and validly delivered and be valid and effective for all purposes.
9.5. Headings. The headings of this Agreement are for convenience of reference only and shall not form part of, or affect the interpretation of, this Agreement.
9.6. Severability. In the event that any provision of this Agreement is invalid or unenforceable under any applicable statute or rule of law, then such provision shall be deemed inoperative to the extent that it may conflict therewith and shall be deemed modified to conform to such statute or rule of law. Any provision hereof which may prove invalid or unenforceable under any law shall not affect the validity or enforceability of any other provision hereof.
9.7. Entire Agreement. This Agreement, together with the other Transaction Documents, contains the entire understanding of the parties with respect to the matters covered herein and therein and, except as specifically set forth herein or therein, neither Company nor Investor makes any representation, warranty, covenant or undertaking with respect to such matters. For the avoidance of doubt, all prior term sheets or other documents between Company and Investor, or any affiliate thereof, related to the transactions contemplated by the Transaction Documents (collectively, “Prior Agreements”), that may have been entered into between Company and Investor, or any affiliate thereof, are hereby null and void and deemed to be replaced in their entirety by the Transaction Documents. To the extent there is a conflict between any term set forth in any Prior Agreement and the term(s) of the Transaction Documents, the Transaction Documents shall govern.
9.8. Amendments. No provision of this Agreement may be waived or amended other than by an instrument in writing signed by both parties hereto.
9.9. Notices. Any notice required or permitted hereunder shall be given in writing (unless otherwise specified herein) and shall be deemed effectively given on the earliest of: (i) the date delivered, if delivered by personal delivery as against written receipt therefor or by e-mail to an executive officer named below or such officer’s successor, (ii) the earlier of the date delivered or the third business day after deposit, postage prepaid, in the United States Postal Service by certified mail, or (iii) the earlier of the date delivered or the third business day after mailing by express courier, with delivery costs and fees prepaid, in each case, addressed to each of the other parties thereunto entitled at the following addresses (or at such other addresses as such party may designate by five (5) calendar days’ advance written notice similarly given to each of the other parties hereto):

Upon prior written notice to Company, this Agreement or any of the severable rights and obligations inuring to the benefit of or to be performed by Investor hereunder may be assigned by Investor to its affiliates, in whole or in part, without the need to obtain Company’s consent thereto, provided, however, that any such assignee agrees in writing to by bound by the terms of all Transaction Documents as though an original party thereto.

9.13. Rights and Remedies Cumulative.

| 10 |
| --- |
9.14. Attorneys’ Fees and Cost of Collection. In the event any suit, action or arbitration is filed by either party against the other to interpret or enforce any of the Transaction Documents, the unsuccessful party to such action agrees to pay to the prevailing party all costs and expenses, including reasonable attorneys’ fees incurred therein, including the same with respect to an appeal. The “prevailing party” shall be the party in whose favor a judgment is entered, regardless of whether judgment is entered on all claims asserted by such party and regardless of the amount of the judgment; or where, due to the assertion of counterclaims, judgments are entered in favor of and against both parties, then the judge or arbitrator shall determine the “prevailing party” by taking into account the relative dollar amounts of the judgments or, if the judgments involve nonmonetary relief, the relative importance and value of such relief. Nothing herein shall restrict or impair an arbitrator’s or a court’s power to award fees and expenses for frivolous or bad faith pleading. If (i) the Note is placed in the hands of an attorney for collection or enforcement prior to commencing arbitration or legal proceedings, or is collected or enforced through any arbitration or legal proceeding, or Investor otherwise takes action to collect amounts due under the Note or to enforce the provisions of the Note, or (ii) there occurs any bankruptcy, reorganization, receivership of Company or other proceedings affecting Company’s creditors’ rights and involving a claim under the Note; then Company shall pay the reasonable costs incurred by Investor for such collection, enforcement or action or in connection with such bankruptcy, reorganization, receivership or other proceeding, including, without limitation, reasonable attorneys’ fees, expenses, deposition costs, and disbursements.
9.15. Waiver. No waiver of any provision of this Agreement shall be effective unless it is in the form of a writing signed by the party granting the waiver. No waiver of any provision or consent to any prohibited action shall constitute a waiver of any other provision or consent to any other prohibited action, whether or not similar. No waiver or consent shall constitute a continuing waiver or consent or commit a party to provide a waiver or consent in the future except to the extent specifically set forth in writing.
9.16. Waiver of Jury Trial. EACH PARTY TO THIS AGREEMENT IRREVOCABLY WAIVES ANY AND ALL RIGHTS SUCH PARTY MAY HAVE TO DEMAND THAT ANY ACTION, PROCEEDING OR COUNTERCLAIM ARISING OUT OF OR IN ANY WAY RELATED TO THIS AGREEMENT, ANY OTHER TRANSACTION DOCUMENT, OR THE RELATIONSHIPS OF THE PARTIES HERETO BE TRIED BY JURY.
