NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

(Unaudited)

 

1. Organization and Basis of Presentation

 

The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements include Snap Interactive, Inc. and its wholly owned subsidiary, Snap Mobile Limited (collectively, the “Company”). The Company operates a portfolio of two dating applications, FirstMet, which is available through desktop and mobile platforms, and The Grade, which is available through iOS and Android platforms. The condensed consolidated financial statements included in this report have been prepared on a going concern basis in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States of America (“GAAP”) and the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) for interim financial information. The Company has not included certain information normally included in annual financial statements pursuant to those rules and regulations, although it believes that the disclosure included herein is adequate to make the information presented not misleading.

 

The financial statements contained herein should be read in conjunction with the Company’s audited consolidated financial statements and the related notes included in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2015 (the “Form 10-K”), filed with the SEC on March 14, 2016.

 

In the opinion of management, the accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial information contains all normal and recurring adjustments necessary to fairly present the condensed consolidated balance sheet, results of operations, cash flows and changes in the stockholders’ deficit of the Company for the interim periods presented. The Company’s historical results are not necessarily indicative of future operating results and the results for the three and six months ended June 30, 2016 are not necessarily indicative of results for the year ending December 31, 2016, or for any other period.

 

2. Going Concern and Management’s Plans

 

The Company reported a loss of $2.3 million for the six months ended June 30, 2016. On June 30, 2016, the Company’s accumulated deficit amounted to $17.0 million. The Company’s convertible note payable with a principal amount outstanding of $3.0 million matures on February 13, 2017 (the “Senior Note”). These matters raise substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern.

 

The Company needs to raise additional capital through public or private financings or strategic business combinations in order to sustain its operations while continuing the longer term efforts contemplated under its business plan (see Note 17—Non-Binding Letter of Intent). The Company cannot provide any assurance that it will raise additional capital. If the Company is unable to secure additional capital, it may be required to take additional measures to reduce costs in order to conserve its cash in amounts sufficient to sustain operations and meet its obligations. The accompanying financial statements do not include any adjustments that may be necessary should the Company be unable to continue as a going concern.

 

3. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies

 

During the three and six months ended June 30, 2016, there were no material changes to the Company’s significant accounting policies from those disclosed in the Form 10-K. Certain significant accountant policies relied on in the preparation of the accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements are as follows:

 

Significant Estimates and Judgments

 

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and at the date of the condensed consolidated financial statements and the reported amounts of revenue and expenses during the reporting period. Significant estimates relied upon in preparing these financial statements include the provision for future credit card chargebacks and subscription revenue refunds, estimates used to determine the fair value of the Company’s common stock, stock options, non-cash capital stock issuances, stock-based compensation, derivative instruments, debt discounts, conversion features and common stock warrants, collectability of accounts receivable and the valuation allowance on deferred tax assets. Management evaluates these estimates on an ongoing basis. Changes in estimates are recorded in the period in which they become known. The Company bases estimates on historical experience and various other assumptions that it believes to be reasonable under the circumstances. Actual results may differ from the Company’s estimates.

 

Reclassification

 

Certain prior period amounts have been reclassified for comparative purposes to conform to the fiscal 2016 presentation. These reclassifications have no impact on the previously reported net loss.

Recently Issued Accounting Pronouncements

 

In February 2016, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued Accounting Standard Update (“ASU”) No. 2016-02, Leases (“ASU 2016-02”), which amends the existing accounting standards for lease accounting, including requiring lessees to recognize most leases on their balance sheets and making targeted changes to lessor accounting. ASU 2016-02 will be effective beginning in the first quarter of 2019. Early adoption of ASU 2016-02 is permitted. The new standard requires a modified retrospective transition approach for all leases existing at, or entered into after, the date of initial application, with an option to use certain transition relief. The Company is currently evaluating the impact of adopting ASU 2016-02 on its consolidated financial statements.

 

In March 2016, the FASB issued ASU No. 2016-09, “Compensation – Stock Compensation (Topic 718)” (“ASU 2016-09”). ASU 2016-09 requires an entity to simplify several aspects of the accounting for share-based payment transactions, including the income tax consequences, classification of awards as either equity or liabilities, and classification on the statement of cash flows. ASU 2016-09 is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2016, either early adoption permitted. The Company is currently evaluating ASU 2016-09 and its impact on its consolidated financial statements or disclosures.

 

4. Accounts Receivable, Net

 

Accounts receivable, net consisted of the following as of June 30, 2016 and December 31, 2015:

Credit card payments for subscriptions and micro-transactions typically settle several days after the date of purchase. The amount of unsettled transactions due from credit card payment processors was $74,134 as of June 30, 2016, as compared to $147,582 at December 31, 2015. The amount of accounts receivable due from Apple Inc. was $86,795, or 46.1% of the Company’s accounts receivable, as of June 30, 2016, compared to $76,074, or 36.8% of the Company’s accounts receivable, at December 31, 2015.

 

5. Security Deposits

 

In October 2014, the Company issued a $135,000 security deposit which replaced the previous letter of credit as part of the new capital lease obligations for equipment with Hewlett Packard Financial Services Company (“HP”). In November 2015, HP returned $60,000 of the security deposit. The Company recorded $75,000 under long-term security deposits on its Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheet as of June 30, 2016 and December 31, 2015, respectively.

 

In February 2015, the Company issued $200,659 as a security deposit as part of a new office rent lease (see Note 15). The Company recorded the $200,659 under long-term security deposits on its Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheet as of June 30, 2016 and December 31, 2015.

6. Fair Value Measurements

 

The fair value framework under the Financial Accounting Standards Board’s guidance requires the categorization of assets and liabilities into three levels based upon the assumptions used to measure the assets or liabilities. Level 1 provides the most reliable measure of fair value, whereas Level 3, if applicable, would generally require significant management judgment. The three levels for categorizing assets and liabilities under the fair value measurement requirements are as follows:

 

Level 1: Fair value measurement of the asset or liability using observable inputs such as quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities;
Level 2: Fair value measurement of the asset or liability using inputs other than quoted prices that are observable for the applicable asset or liability, either directly or indirectly, such as quoted prices for similar (as opposed to identical) assets or liabilities in active markets and quoted prices for identical or similar assets or liabilities in markets that are not active; and
Level 3: Fair value measurement of the asset or liability using unobservable inputs that reflect the Company’s own assumptions regarding the applicable asset or liability.

The following table summarizes the liabilities measured at fair value on a recurring basis as of December 31, 2015:

 

    Level 1     Level 2     Level 3     Total  
LIABILITIES:

Total derivative liabilities   $ -     $ -     $ 473,425     $ 473,425  

 

Level 3 liabilities are valued using unobservable inputs to the valuation methodology that are significant to the measurement of the fair value of the liabilities. For fair value measurements categorized within Level 3 of the fair value hierarchy, the Company’s accounting and finance department, who report to the Chief Financial Officer, determine its valuation policies and procedures. The development and determination of the unobservable inputs for Level 3 fair value measurements and fair value calculations are the responsibility of the Company’s accounting and finance department and are approved by the Chief Financial Officer.

 

Level 3 Valuation Techniques:

 

Level 3 financial liabilities consist of the derivative liabilities for which there is no current market for these securities such that the determination of fair value requires significant judgment or estimation. Changes in fair value measurements categorized within Level 3 of the fair value hierarchy are analyzed each period based on changes in estimates or assumptions and recorded as appropriate.

 

The Company deems financial instruments which do not have fixed settlement provisions to be derivative instruments. The common stock purchase warrants issued in connection with the Senior Note and the Senior Note’s embedded conversion feature do not have fixed settlement provisions because their exercise prices may be lowered if the Company issues securities at a lower price in the future. In accordance with Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) Topic 480, Distinguishing Liabilities from Equity , the fair value of these warrants is classified as a liability on the Company’s Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets because, according to the terms of the warrants, a fundamental transaction could give rise to an obligation of the Company to pay cash to its warrant holders. In addition, the Company entered into an Advisory Services Agreement (the “Advisory Agreement”), dated as of February 13, 2015, by and between the Company and Sigma Capital Advisors, LLC (“Sigma”) that contains certain provisions whereby the Company will be required to make certain make-whole cash payments to the holder of the Senior Note upon the occurrence of certain future events, as more fully described in Note 11. Such instruments do not have fixed settlement provisions and have also been recorded as derivative liabilities. Corresponding changes in the fair value of the derivative liabilities are recognized in earnings on the Company’s Condensed Consolidated Statement of Operations in each subsequent period.

 

The Company’s derivative liabilities are carried at fair value and were classified as Level 3 in the fair value hierarchy due to the use of significant unobservable inputs. In order to calculate fair value, the Company uses a custom model developed with the assistance of an independent third-party valuation expert. This model calculates the fair value of the warrant derivative liabilities at each measurement date using a Monte-Carlo style simulation, as the value of certain features of the warrant derivative liabilities would not be captured by the standard Black-Scholes model.

 

The following table summarizes the values of certain assumptions used by the Company’s custom model to estimate the fair value of the warrant liabilities as of June 30, 2016 and December 31, 2015:

As a result, such warrants were automatically terminated and cancelled in full.

Depreciation and amortization expense for the three and six months ended June 30, 2016 was $35,269 and $71,784, respectively, as compared to $35,188 and $96,007, respectively for the three and six months ended June 30, 2015. The Company only holds fixed assets in the United States.

 

8. Notes Receivable

 

At June 30, 2016, the Company had notes receivable due in the aggregate amount of $82,452 from two former employees. The employees issued the notes to the Company since the Company paid taxes for stock-based compensation on these employees’ behalf in 2011 and 2012. The outstanding amounts under the notes are secured by pledged stock certificates and are due at various times during 2021-2023. Interest accrues on these notes at rates ranging from 2.80% to 3.57% per annum.

 

9. Income Taxes

 

The Company had no income tax benefit or provision for the six months ended June 30, 2016 and 2015. Since the Company incurred a net loss for the six months ended June 30, 2016 and 2015, there was no income tax expense for either period. Increases in deferred tax balances have been offset by a valuation allowance and have no impact on the Company’s deferred income tax provision.

 

In calculating the provision for income taxes on an interim basis, the Company estimates the annual effective income tax rate based upon the facts and circumstances known for the period and applies that rate to the earnings or losses for the most recent interim period. The Company’s effective income tax rate is based on expected income and statutory tax rates and takes into consideration permanent differences between financial statement income and tax return income applicable to the Company in the various jurisdictions in which the Company operates. The effect of a discrete item, such as changes in estimates, changes in enacted tax laws or rates or tax status, and unusual or infrequently occurring events, is recognized in the interim period in which the discrete item occurs. The accounting estimates used to compute the provision for income taxes may change as new events occur, additional information is obtained or as the result of new judicial interpretations or changes in tax laws or regulations.

 

10. Accrued Expenses and Other Current Liabilities

 

Accrued expenses and other current liabilities consisted of the following at June 30, 2016 and December 31, 2015:

11. Convertible Note Payable

 

Securities Purchase Agreement

 

On February 13, 2015, the Company closed a private placement of debt and equity securities for aggregate gross proceeds of $3,000,000 pursuant to a securities purchase agreement (the “Securities Purchase Agreement”). In connection with the Securities Purchase Agreement, the Company issued Sigma Opportunity Fund II, LLC (“Sigma II”) (i) 350,000 shares of the Company’s common stock, (ii) the Senior Note in the aggregate principal amount of $3,000,000 and (iii) a warrant to purchase up to 10,500,000 shares of the Company’s common stock. The Company incurred financing costs of $314,249 in connection with the Securities Purchase Agreement that will be amortized over the term of the Senior Note. Amortization expense for the three and six months ended June 30, 2016 was $39,174 and $77,917, respectively; and $39,174 and $60,198 for the three and six months ended June 30, 2015, respectively. The amortization expense was included as interest expense on the accompanying Condensed Consolidated Statement of Operations.

 

The Senior Note bears interest at a rate of 12% per annum and matures on the earlier of February 13, 2017 or a change in control. During any time while the Senior Note is outstanding, the outstanding principal balance of the Senior Note, together with all accrued and unpaid interest, is convertible into shares of the Company’s common stock at the option of Sigma II at a conversion price of $0.20 per share, subject to certain adjustments, including reset adjustments to the conversion price if the Company issues securities at lower prices in the future, as disclosed in Note 6. The Company’s obligations under the Senior Note are secured by a first priority lien on all of its assets and property. The Senior Note is also secured by up to 65% of the outstanding capital stock and other equity interests of Snap Mobile Limited, the Company’s wholly owned subsidiary. Snap Mobile Limited is also a guarantor of the Senior Note. An event of default under the Senior Note includes, among other things, (i) the Company’s failure to pay any amounts due and payable when and as required, (ii) failure of a representation or warranty made by the Company to be correct and accurate when made, (iii) the institution of bankruptcy or similar proceedings against the Company and (iv) the Company’s inability to pay debts as they become due. The Senior Note also requires the Company to maintain an aggregate cash balance of $1,350,000 in its bank accounts or it will be required to make partial prepayments on the Senior Note. If the Company fails to maintain this aggregate cash balance in its bank accounts for a thirty day period, it is required to make a $125,000 prepayment on the Senior Note. For each subsequent calendar month that the aggregate cash balance in the Company’s bank accounts does not equal or exceed $1,500,000, the Company must make an additional $125,000 prepayment on the Senior Note.

 

The Senior Note contains a compound embedded derivative consisting of an embedded conversion feature and interest make-whole provisions and was accounted for as a derivative liability with an aggregate fair value of $950,000. In addition, the fair value of the warrants was $798,000 and was also required to be accounted for as a derivative liability. Both instruments were also recorded as debt discounts on the date the Senior Note was issued. The Company is amortizing the debt discount using the effective interest method over the life of the Senior Note, which is two years. Contractual interest expense under the Senior Note incurred for the three and six months ended June 30, 2016 was $90,000 and $180,000 respectively. Contractual interest expense under the Senior Note incurred for the three and six months ended June 30, 2015 was $90,000 and $136,000, respectively.

 

Simultaneously with the closing of the private placement, the Company entered into the Advisory Agreement with Sigma pursuant to which Sigma agreed to provide the Company with certain advisory and consulting services. In connection with the Advisory Agreement, the Company issued Sigma 150,000 shares of the Company’s common stock and a warrant to purchase up to 4,500,000 shares of the Company’s common stock. Both the common shares and the warrant issued were fully vested and non-forfeitable on the date the Advisory Agreement was entered into. Based on the terms of the Advisory Agreement and the criteria outlined in ASC 505-50, Equity-Based Payments to Non-Employees , the Company determined that the common stock and warrants issued were additional consideration provided to Sigma in connection with the issuance of the Senior Note. As a result, the Company recorded the grant date fair value of the common stock and warrants of $30,000 and $342,000, respectively, as debt discounts on the accompanying Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheet.

 

In addition to the issuance of common stock and warrants under the Advisory Agreement, the Company also agreed to pay Sigma a monthly advisory fee of $10,000, up to an aggregate limit of $240,000, subject to certain exceptions, over the life of the Senior Note (the “Cash Payment”). If the Company were to prepay the Senior Note or the repayment of the Senior Note was accelerated for certain reasons, the Company would still be required to remit either a portion or the full amount of the Cash Payment. The Company also agreed to pay Sigma a cash payment of $150,000 if the Company effectuates a dilutive issuance (as defined in the Senior Note) while the Senior Note is outstanding (the “Dilutive Cash Payment”). The Company determined that based on the make-whole features associated with the Cash Payment and the contingent make-whole features associated with the Dilutive Cash Payment, that these payments are required to be treated as derivative instruments in accordance with ASC 815. The fair value of these instruments was included in the value of the compound embedded derivative discussed above.

 

Amortization expense related to the debt discount for the three and six months ended June 30, 2016 was $264,274 and $525,644, respectively; and $264,274 and $397,863 for the three and six months ended June 30, 2015, respectively. Amortization expense related to the debt discount was included as interest expense on the accompanying Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations.

 

As described in Note 18, the Company recently entered into the Exchange Agreement with Sigma II and Sigma, pursuant to which the warrants held by Sigma II and Sigma were exchanged for an aggregate of 2,000,000 shares of the Company’s common stock. As a result, such warrants were automatically terminated and cancelled in full.

12. Stock-Based Compensation

 

The Snap Interactive, Inc. Amended and Restated 2011 Long-Term Incentive Plan (the “2011 Plan”) was terminated as to future awards on May 16, 2016. A total of 6,356,128 shares of the Company’s common stock may be delivered pursuant to outstanding options awarded under the 2011 Plan, however no additional awards may be granted under such plan. The Snap Interactive, Inc. 2016 Long-Term Incentive Plan (the “2016 Plan”) was adopted by the Company’s stockholders on May 16, 2016 and permits the Company to award stock options (both incentive stock options and non-qualified stock options), stock appreciation rights, restricted stock, restricted stock units, performance awards, dividend equivalent rights, and other stock-based awards and cash-based incentive awards to its employees (including an employee who is also a director or officer under certain circumstances), non-employee directors and consultants. The maximum number of shares of common stock that may be issued pursuant to awards under the 2016 Plan is 15,000,000 shares, 100% of which may be issued pursuant to incentive stock options. In addition, the maximum number of shares of common stock that may be issued under the 2016 Plan may be increased by an indeterminate number of shares of common stock underlying outstanding awards issued under the 2011 Plan that are forfeited, expired, cancelled or settled in cash. As of June 30, 2016, there were 14,900,000 shares available for future issuance under the 2016 Plan.

 

Stock Options

 

The following table summarizes the assumptions used in the Black-Scholes pricing model to estimate the fair value of the options granted during the six months ended June 30, 2016 and 2015:

 

   

June 30,

2016

   

June 30,

Expected volatility     162.9 %     182.8 %
Expected life of option     6.12       6.17  
Risk free interest rate     1.48 %     1.76 %
Expected dividend yield     0.0 %     0.0 %

 

The expected life of the options is the period of time over which employees and non-employees are expected to hold their options prior to exercise. The expected life of options has been determined using the "simplified" method as prescribed by Staff Accounting Bulletin 110, which uses the midpoint between the vesting date and the end of the contractual term. The volatility of the Company’s common stock is calculated using the Company’s historical volatilities beginning at the grant date and going back for a period of time equal to the expected life of the award.

At June 30, 2016, the aggregate intrinsic value of stock options that were outstanding and exercisable was $201,098 and $24,984, respectively. At June 30, 2015, the aggregate intrinsic value of stock options that were outstanding and exercisable was $0 and $0, respectively. The intrinsic value for stock options is calculated based on the exercise price of the underlying awards and the fair value of such awards as of the period-end date. The aggregate fair value for the options granted during the six months ended June 30, 2016 and 2015 was $61,405 and $89,158, respectively.

Stock-based compensation expense relating to stock options was $39,309 and $81,258 during the three and six months ended June 30, 2016, as compared to $46,313 and $70,406, for the three and six months ended June 30, 2015, respectively. The Company estimates potential forfeitures of stock awards and adjusts recorded stock-based compensation expense accordingly. The estimate of forfeitures is adjusted over the requisite service period to the extent that actual forfeitures differ, or are expected to differ, from such estimates. Changes in estimated forfeitures are recognized through a cumulative catch-up adjustment in the period of change and will also impact the amount of stock-based compensation expense that is recognized in future periods.

 

At June 30, 2016, there was $381,564 of total unrecognized compensation expense related to stock options, which is expected to be recognized over a weighted average period of 2.95 years.

 

Restricted Stock Awards

 

The following table summarizes restricted stock award activity for the six months ended June 30, 2016:

On March 3, 2016, the Company entered into a restricted stock cancellation and release agreement with Clifford Lerner, the Company’s Chairman of the Board of Directors, pursuant to which the Company cancelled a grant of 5,000,000 restricted shares of common stock awarded to Mr. Lerner on April 10, 2013 that would have vested 50% on the third anniversary of the date of grant and 50% on the fourth anniversary of the date of grant. Subsequently, on March 3, 2016, the Board of Directors awarded Mr. Lerner a replacement award of 5,000,000 restricted shares that vest 100% on the (10th) tenth anniversary of the date of grant, provided Mr. Lerner is providing services to the Company on such date.

 

At June 30, 2016, there was $2,420,880 of total unrecognized compensation expense related to unvested restricted stock awards, which is expected to be recognized over a weighted average period of 7.53 years.

 

Stock-based compensation expense relating to restricted stock awards for the three and six months ended June 30, 2016 was $97,949 and $209,774, respectively, as compared to $230,279 and $436,049 for the three and six months ended June 30, 2015, respectively.

 

13. Common Stock Warrants

 

On February 13, 2015, the Company issued a warrant to each of Sigma II and Sigma to purchase up to 10,500,000 shares and 4,500,000 shares, respectively, of the Company’s common stock in connection with the issuance of the Senior Note and the execution of the Advisory Agreement as previously disclosed in Note 11. The warrants were immediately exercisable on February 13, 2015 and expire on the earlier of (a) February 13, 2020 or (b) a change in control. The warrants have an exercise price of $0.35 per share, subject to certain adjustments, including reset adjustments to the exercise price if the Company issues securities at lower prices in the future, as disclosed in Note 6.

 

The Company has recorded a derivative liability on its Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheet at the end of each reporting period based on the estimated fair value of the warrants. The warrants are valued at the end of each reporting period with changes recorded as mark-to-market adjustment on derivative liability on the Company’s Condensed Consolidated Statement of Operations. The fair value of these warrants was $870,000 at June 30, 2016, based on a model developed with the assistance of an independent third-party valuation expert.

 

As described in Note 18, the Company recently entered into the Exchange Agreement with Sigma II and Sigma, pursuant to which the warrants held by Sigma II and Sigma were exchanged for an aggregate of 2,000,000 shares of the Company’s common stock. As a result, such warrants were automatically terminated and cancelled in full.

 

14. Net Loss Per Share of Common Stock

 

Basic net loss per share of common stock is computed based upon the number of weighted average shares of common stock outstanding as defined by ASC Topic 260, Earnings Per Share. Diluted net loss per share of common stock includes the dilutive effects of stock options, warrants and stock equivalents. To the extent stock options, stock equivalents, shares underlying the Senior Note and warrants are antidilutive, they are excluded from the calculation of diluted net loss per share of common stock. For the three and six months ended June 30, 2016, 49,173,628 shares issuable upon the conversion of the Senior Note, the exercise of stock options and warrants, and unvested restricted stock awards were not included in the computation of diluted net loss per share because their inclusion would be antidilutive. For the three and six months ended June 30, 2015, 46,722,228 shares issuable upon the conversion of the Senior Note, the exercise of stock options and warrants, and unvested restricted stock awards were not included in the computation of diluted net loss per share.

Operating Lease Agreements

 

During 2013, the Company entered into a two-year service agreement with Equinix Operating Co., Inc. (“Equinix”) whereby Equinix agreed to provide certain products and services to the Company from January 2013 to January 2015. Pursuant to the service agreement, the Company agreed to pay monthly recurring fees in the amount of $8,450 and certain nonrecurring fees in the amount of $9,700. The agreement automatically renews for additional twelve month terms unless earlier terminated by either party. Hosting expense under this lease totaled $15,531 and $93,248 for the six months ended June 30, 2016 and 2015, respectively. On January 31, 2016, we cancelled the service agreement with Equinix.

 

On February 4, 2015, the Company entered into a lease for office space located at 320 West 37th Street, 13th Floor, New York, NY 10018 and paid a security deposit in the amount of $200,659. The term of the lease runs until March 4, 2022. The Company’s monthly office rent payments under the lease are currently approximately $26,000 per month and escalate on an annual basis for each year of the term of the lease. Rent expense under this lease was $82,551 and $165,103 for the three and six months ended June 30, 2016 and 2015, respectively.

 

Capital Lease Agreements

 

In October 2014, two HP lease agreements were canceled due to price negotiations and we entered into two new three-year lease agreements with HP for equipment and certain financed items. In December 2014, we cancelled our remaining operating lease agreements and entered into two additional three-year capital lease agreements with notes. The Company recognized these leases on its Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets under capitalized lease obligations. Amortization for equipment under capital leases was $18,217 and $36,434 for the three and six months ended June 30, 2016 and 2015, respectively. Rent payments for equipment under capital leases were $22,734 and $45,468 for the three and six months ended June 30, 2016 and 2015, respectively.  

 

16. Related Party Transactions

 

On January 31, 2013, the Company entered into a consulting agreement with Darrell Lerner, pursuant to which Mr. Lerner agreed to serve as a consultant to the Company for an initial term of three years, beginning on February 1, 2013 (the “Effective Date”). Pursuant to the agreement, Mr. Lerner agreed to assist and advise the Company on legal, financial and other matters for which he has knowledge that pertains to the Company, as the Company reasonably requests. As compensation for his services, the Company agreed to pay Mr. Lerner a monthly fee of $25,000 for the initial two year period of the agreement and a monthly fee of $5,000 for every month thereafter. On January 31, 2016, the Company amended the consulting agreement with Darrell Lerner, pursuant to which the monthly fee owed to Mr. Lerner was reduced to $3,000 and the term of the agreement was set to automatically renew for successive one-year periods beginning on February 1, 2016 unless either party provides written notice of nonrenewal. Consulting expense under this agreement for the three and six months ended June 30, 2016 was $9,000 and $20,000, respectively, as compared to $15,000 and $50,000, respectively, for the three and six months ended June 30, 2015, respectively.

 

The Company or Mr. Lerner may terminate the agreement at any time without notice prior to or at the expiration of the term. If the Company terminates the agreement without “cause” (as defined in the agreement), the Company has agreed to (i) pay Mr. Lerner the amount of the unpaid monthly fees owed to Mr. Lerner for the period from the Effective Date to the two year anniversary of the Effective Date and (ii) take all commercially reasonably actions to cause (A) 325,000 shares of restricted common stock of the Company previously granted to Mr. Lerner, (B) 600,000 shares of restricted common stock of the Company previously granted to Mr. Lerner and (iii) 150,000 shares of restricted common stock of the Company granted to Mr. Lerner pursuant to the agreement, to be vested as of the date of such termination. Stock-based compensation expense relating to non-employee restricted stock awards for the three and six months ended June 30, 2016 was $8,433 and $30,742, respectively, as compared to $(352) and $(22,678), respectively, for the three and six months ended June 30, 2015.

 

17. Non-Binding Letter of Intent

 

On June 17, 2016, the Company entered into a non-binding letter of intent (the “Letter of Intent”) with A.V.M. Software, Inc. (d/b/a Paltalk) (“Paltalk”), which describes the general terms and conditions of a proposed merger between Paltalk and the Company. Pursuant to the letter of intent, Paltalk would merge into a newly formed wholly owned subsidiary of the Company, with Paltalk surviving as the Company’s wholly owned subsidiary. As consideration for the merger, the Company would issue Paltalk’s stockholders a number of shares of the Company’s common stock such that, following the completion of the transaction, Paltalk’s stockholders would own a majority of the Company’s outstanding common stock on a fully-diluted basis.

18. Subsequent Events

 

Term Note and Security Agreement

 

In connection with the entry into the Letter of Intent, on July 18, 2016, the Company entered into a subordinated multiple advance term note (the “Term Note”) with Paltalk, pursuant to which Paltalk agreed to advance to the Company, upon the Company’s request and subject to the terms and conditions set forth in the Term Note, up to $250,000. The Term Note matures on July 18, 2017, subject to certain exceptions, and advances under the Term Note shall bear interest at a rate of 8.0% per annum. The Company may prepay amounts due under the Term Note without penalty, but the Company may not reborrow any principal amount that has been repaid. As of August 8, 2016, the Company had borrowed $200,000 available under the Term Note.

 

The Term Note also contains customary events of default, including, among other things, payment defaults, breaches of covenants, cross-defaults and bankruptcy and insolvency events, subject to grace periods in certain instances. Upon an event of default, Paltalk may declare all of the outstanding obligations of the Company under the Term Note to be immediately due and payable, and exercise any other rights provided for under the Term Note.

 

In connection with the entry into the Term Note, on July 18, 2016, the Company entered into a security agreement (the “Security Agreement”) with Paltalk, which such Security Agreement will not become effective until, among other things, the Company’s Senior Note with Sigma II is paid in full. Upon the effectiveness of the Security Agreement, the Company’s obligations under the Term Note will be secured by a first priority security interest in all of the assets and property of the Company, including 65% of the capital stock and other equity interests of SNAP Mobile Limited.

 

Exchange Agreement

 

On July 13, 2016, the Company entered into the Exchange Agreement with Sigma II and Sigma, pursuant to which (i) Sigma II exchanged its warrant to purchase up to 10,500,000 shares of the Company’s common stock at an exercise price of approximately $0.35 per share for 1,400,000 newly issued shares of the Company’s common stock and (ii) Sigma exchanged its warrant to purchase up to 4,500,000 shares of the Company’s common stock at an exercise price of approximately $0.35 per share for 600,000 newly issued shares of the Company’s common stock, in each case effective as of July 13, 2016. Pursuant to the Exchange Agreement, the warrants were automatically terminated and cancelled in full and rendered null and void as a result of the exchange offer.

 

Patent Litigation

 

On August 2, 2016, the Company became aware of a complaint filed against it in the United States District Court for the Eastern District of Texas, Marshall Division (Case No. 2:16-cv-00836). In the complaint, the plaintiff alleges, among other things, that the Company infringed upon one of the plaintiff’s patents.

 

The Company operates in a technology environment and is subject to claims of infringement of patents in the ordinary course of business. We dispute the allegations made by the plaintiff and intend to vigorously defend ourselves in this litigation. At this time, management does not believe this matter will have a material adverse effect on the Company’s results of operations or financial condition. However, no assurance can be given that this matter will be resolved in our favor.

Risk Factors” in the Form 10-K.

 

Overview

 

The Company operates a portfolio of two dating applications, FirstMet, which is available through desktop and mobile platforms, and The Grade, which is available through iOS and Android TM platforms. We also intend to expand our portfolio through the development of new applications, including a new application based on our existing product platform that targets users over 50 years of age. We expect that this new product will launch in the fourth quarter of 2016. 

 

Our dating applications and the revenues generated therefrom are supported by a large user database of approximately 30 million users. Our management believes that the scale of our user database presents a competitive advantage in the dating industry and can present growth opportunities to build future dating application brands or to commercialize by presenting third party advertising.

 

FirstMet

 

We provide a leading online dating application under the FirstMet brand that is native on Facebook, iOS and Android platforms and is also accessible on mobile devices and desktops at FirstMet.com. Our FirstMet application is available to users and active subscribers. FirstMet is extremely scalable and requires limited incremental operational cost to add users, active subscribers or new features catering to additional discrete audiences. FirstMet was derived from a prior iteration of our application, “Are You Interested?” (“AYI”), which was rebranded as FirstMet in March 2016. We believe the rebranding has had positive effects in reactivating inactive users from our database, including the reengagement of approximately 647 thousand inactive users in the three months ended June 30, 2016, and we expect it to reduce user acquisition costs in the longer term. FirstMet was the #23 grossing application in the U.S. Lifestyle Category on Apple® App Store SM in the United States as of August 8, 2016. 

 

Although the rebranding has had positive effects on reengaging inactive users, we believe that the number of active subscribers is strongly correlated to our spending on sales and marketing. For the six months ended June 30, 2016, our spending on sales and marketing was 21.3% lower than the six months ended June 30, 2015, which we believe resulted in a decrease in the number of active subscribers during 2016, as seen in the chart below:

 

 

As of June 30, 2016, FirstMet had approximately 78,700 active subscribers, which constituted a 6.4% decrease in active subscribers since December 31, 2015. New subscription transactions for FirstMet for the six months ended June 30, 2016 decreased 31.4% as compared to the same period in 2015.

 

15

 

 

The Grade

 

We also provide an online dating application under The Grade brand that is native on iOS and Android. The Grade is a mobile application that we launched in November 2014 to pursue our strategy of providing a portfolio of dating and social applications. The Grade is a mobile dating application that holds users accountable to a high standard of behavior by using a proprietary algorithm that assigns letter grades to users ranging from “A+” to “F” based on profile quality, messaging quality and reviews from other users of the application. Users with a grade of “D” receive a warning and instructions on how to improve their grade, while users who fail to improve an “F” grade are at risk of expulsion. By providing user grades and expelling low-quality users who receive an “F” grade, The Grade aims to create a community of high-quality users who are desirable, articulate and responsive.

 

The application is offered free to users and, apart from testing monetization approaches, there are no immediate plans to monetize The Grade.

 

We currently expect that we will continue to allocate the significant majority of our resources to FirstMet in an effort to increase our operating cash flow by focusing on our revenue-generating application. As we sustain this lower level of spending on sales and marketing for The Grade, we expect that we may experience a decrease in the number of The Grade’s users.

The information related to the Letter of Intent disclosed in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q is being issued pursuant to and limited by Rule 135c promulgated under the Securities Act and does not constitute an offer to sell, or a solicitation of an offer to buy, any shares of our common stock.

 

Term Note and Security Agreement

 

In connection with the entry into the Letter of Intent, on July 18, 2016, we entered into a subordinated multiple advance term note (the “Term Note”) with Paltalk, pursuant to which Paltalk agreed to advance to us, upon our request and subject to the terms and conditions set forth in the Term Note, up to $250,000. The Term Note matures on July 18, 2017, subject to certain exceptions, and advances under the Term Note shall bear interest at a rate of 8.0% per annum.

The Term Note also contains customary events of default, including, among other things, payment defaults, breaches of covenants, cross-defaults and bankruptcy and insolvency events, subject to grace periods in certain instances. Upon an event of default, Paltalk may declare all of our outstanding obligations under the Term Note to be immediately due and payable, and exercise any other rights provided for under the Term Note.

 

In connection with the entry into the Term Note, on July 18, 2016, we entered into a security agreement with Paltalk (the “Security Agreement”), which such Security Agreement will not become effective until, among other things, our 12% Senior Secured Convertible Note due February 13, 2017 in the original aggregate principal amount of $3,000,000 (the “Senior Note”) issued to Sigma II is paid in full. Upon the effectiveness of the Security Agreement, our obligations under the Term Note will be secured by a first priority security interest in all of our assets and property, including 65% of the capital stock and other equity interests of SNAP Mobile Limited, our wholly owned subsidiary.

 

Exchange Agreement

 

On July 13, 2016, we entered into an Exchange Agreement, dated July 13, 2016 (the “Exchange Agreement”), with Sigma Opportunity Fund II, LLC (“Sigma II”) and Sigma Capital Advisors, LLC (“Sigma”), pursuant to which (i) Sigma II exchanged its warrant to purchase up to 10,500,000 shares of our common stock at an exercise price of approximately $0.35 per share for 1,400,000 newly issued shares of our common stock and (ii) Sigma exchanged its warrant to purchase up to 4,500,000 shares of our common stock at an exercise price of approximately $0.35 per share for 600,000 newly issued shares of our common stock, in each case effective as of July 13, 2016. Pursuant to the Exchange Agreement, the warrants were automatically terminated and cancelled in full and rendered null and void as a result of the exchange offer.

Operational Highlights and Objectives

 

During the six months ended June 30, 2016, we executed key components of our objectives:

 

  appointed a third independent director to our Board of Directors;
  relaunched our foundational product AYI under the new brand FirstMet;
  initiated development of a new product targeting users over 50 years of age;
  rebuilt and re-introduced our iPhone and Android mobile apps, with the goal of reducing the cost of innovation on mobile platforms;
  translated portions of FirstMet into nine additional languages to test market opportunities in foreign markets; and
  reactivated approximately 647 thousand users from our user database via targeted email campaigns.

 

For the near term, our business objectives include:

 

  launching new dating products leveraging our existing product platform and the strength of our user database;
  continuing to grow and improve our mobile platforms;
  reengaging more inactive users in our large user database; and
  seeking financing or strategic alternatives to refinance or retire our outstanding debt.

 

Sources of Revenue

 

FirstMet operates on a “freemium” model, whereby certain application features are free to all users and other features are only available to paid subscribers. We generate revenue primarily when users purchase a subscription to obtain unlimited messaging and certain other premium features. We also generate a small portion of our revenue through advertisements and micro-transactions that allow users to access other premium features on our FirstMet application.

 

Currently, while The Grade is building its user community, it is offered for free to users. Apart from testing monetization approaches, we have no immediate plans to introduce a means of generating revenue from The Grade.

 

Subscription . We provide FirstMet users with the opportunity to purchase a subscription that provides for unlimited messaging and other premium features for the length of the subscription term. We believe that FirstMet users choose to become paid subscribers to communicate freely with potential matches and to enhance the online dating experience.

 

The majority of our revenue is generated from FirstMet subscriptions originating through the Facebook platform, and a significant amount of our revenue is generated from subscriptions through mobile platforms.

 

Our users have a variety of methods by which to purchase subscriptions to FirstMet. Users can pay by credit card, Google Play, PayPal, Fortumo or as an in-App purchase through Apple Inc.’s App Store. Pursuant to Apple Inc.’s terms of service, Apple Inc. retains up to 30% of the revenue that is generated from sales on our iPhone application through in-App purchases.

 

We recognize revenue from monthly FirstMet premium subscription fees in the month in which the services are provided during the subscription term.

 

Micro-transactions . Micro-transactions allow users to increase the visibility of their profile and messages on FirstMet by paying for such services. In addition, micro-transactions include activation fees for new subscriptions. While micro-transactions are not currently a significant driver of revenue, we believe that such micro-transactions increase user engagement with the application and the likelihood that users will become a paid subscriber. Revenue from micro-transactions is recognized over a two-month period.

 

Advertising . Our advertising revenue derived from FirstMet primarily consists of revenue from display ads. We generally report our advertising revenue net of amounts due to agencies, brokers and counterparties. We recognize advertising revenue as earned on a click-through, impression, registration or subscription basis. When a user clicks an advertisement (CPC basis), views an advertisement impression (CPM basis), registers for an external website via an advertisement clicks on or through our application (CPA basis), or clicks on an offer to subscribe to premium features on our application, the contract amount is recognized as revenue.

 

17

 

 

Costs and Expenses

 

Cost of revenue. Cost of revenue consists primarily of compensation (including stock-based compensation) and other employee-related costs for personnel engaged in data center and customer care functions, credit card processing fees, hosting fees, and data center rent and bandwidth costs.

 

Sales and marketing expense. Sales and marketing expense consists primarily of advertising expenditures and compensation (including stock-based compensation) and other employee-related costs for personnel engaged in marketing and sales support functions. Advertising and promotional spend includes online marketing, including fees paid to search engines, and offline marketing, which is primarily partner-related payments to those who direct traffic to our brands. Our sales and marketing efforts are intended to attract new users, retain existing users and increase sales to both new and existing users.

 

Product development expense. Product development expense consists primarily of compensation (including stock-based compensation) and other employee-related costs that are not capitalized for personnel engaged in the design, development, testing and enhancement of product offerings and related technology.

 

General and administrative. General and administrative expense consists primarily of compensation (including stock-based compensation) and other employee-related costs for personnel engaged in executive management, finance, legal, tax, human resources, facilities costs, office expenses and fees for other professional services.

 

Non-Operating Expenses

 

Change in fair value of derivative securities. The conversion feature in our outstanding Senior Note, our outstanding warrants, and certain interest make-whole instruments are considered derivative instruments that require liability classification and mark-to-market accounting. Our derivative liability is marked-to-market at the end of each reporting period on our Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets, with the changes in fair value reported in earnings on our Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations. We have included the mark-to-market adjustment on derivative liability as a non-operating expense as we do not believe that it is indicative of our core operating results.

 

We use a custom model that, at each measurement date, calculates the fair value of the derivative liability using a Monte-Carlo style simulation that uses the following assumptions at each valuation date: (i) closing common stock price, (ii) contractual exercise price, (iii) remaining contractual term, (iv) historical volatility of the common stock price, (v) an adjusted volatility that incorporates a 10% incremental discount rate premium (a reduction of the volatility estimate) to reflect the lack of marketability of the conversion feature in the Senior Note and the warrants, (vi) risk-free interest rates that are commensurate with the term of the conversion feature in the Senior Note and the warrants and (vii) management assessment of the probability of a change of control at various price points.

 

An increase or decrease in the fair value of the derivative liability will decrease or increase the amount of our earnings, respectively, separate from income or loss from operations. The primary cause of the change in the fair value of the derivative liability is the value of our common stock. If our common stock price goes up, the value of these derivatives will generally increase and if our common stock price goes down, the value of these derivatives will generally decrease.

 

Key Metrics

 

Our management relies on certain financial measures and/or unaudited performance indicators to manage and evaluate our business that are not calculated and presented in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States of America (“GAAP”). The key performance indicators set forth below help us evaluate growth trends, establish budgets, measure the effectiveness of our advertising and marketing efforts and assess operational efficiencies. We also discuss net cash used in operating activities under the ‟Results of Operations” and ‟Liquidity and Capital Resources” sections below. Active subscribers, bookings and Adjusted EBITDA are discussed below.

Active Subscribers

 

We believe that the number of active subscribers is a key operating metric to assess the potential of the recurring revenue stream of the FirstMet application. "Active subscribers" means current users that have prepaid a subscription fee for current access to the FirstMet application and whose subscription period has not yet expired. We plan to increase this metric by targeted user acquisition campaigns, building a recognizable brand and increasing user engagement on FirstMet through the development of a superior feature set.

 

Bookings

 

Bookings is a financial measure representing the aggregate dollar value of subscription fees and micro-transactions received during the period. We calculate bookings as subscription revenue recognized during the period plus the change in deferred subscription revenue recognized during the period. We record subscription revenue from subscription fees and micro-transactions as deferred subscription revenue and then recognize that revenue ratably over the length of the subscription term. Our management uses bookings internally in analyzing our financial results to assess operational performance and to assess the effectiveness of, and plan future, user acquisition campaigns. We believe that this financial measure is useful in evaluating our business because we believe, as compared to subscription revenue, it is a better indicator of the subscription activity in a given period. We believe that both management and investors benefit from referring to bookings in assessing our performance and when planning, forecasting and analyzing future periods.

 

While the factors that affect bookings and subscription revenue are generally the same, certain factors may affect subscription revenue more or less than such factors affect bookings in any period. While we believe that bookings is useful in evaluating our business, it should be considered as supplemental in nature and it is not meant to be a substitute for subscription revenue recognized in accordance with GAAP.

 

Adjusted EBITDA

 

Adjusted EBITDA is a non-GAAP financial measure. Adjusted EBITDA is defined as net loss adjusted to exclude interest income (expense), net, depreciation and amortization expense, gain (loss) on change in fair value of derivative liabilities, loss on disposal of fixed assets and stock-based compensation expense.

 

We present Adjusted EBITDA because it is a key measure used by our management and Board of Directors to understand and evaluate our core operating performance and trends, to develop short- and long-term operational plans, and to allocate resources to expand our business. In particular, the exclusion of certain expenses in calculating Adjusted EBITDA can provide a useful measure for period-to-period comparisons of the cash operating income generated by our business. We believe that Adjusted EBITDA is useful to investors and others to understand and evaluate our operating results and it allows for a more meaningful comparison between our performance and that of competitors.

 

Limitations of Adjusted EBITDA

 

Our use of Adjusted EBITDA has limitations as an analytical tool, and you should not consider this performance measure in isolation from or as a substitute for analysis of our results as reported under GAAP. Some of these limitations are:

 

Adjusted EBITDA does not reflect cash capital expenditures for assets underlying depreciation and amortization expense that may need to be replaced or for new capital expenditures;
Adjusted EBITDA does not reflect our working capital requirements;
Adjusted EBITDA does not consider the potentially dilutive impact of stock-based compensation;
Adjusted EBITDA does not reflect interest expense or interest payments on our outstanding indebtedness;
Adjusted EBITDA does not reflect the change in fair value of warrants; and
other companies, including companies in our industry, may calculate Adjusted EBITDA differently, which reduces its usefulness as a comparative measure.

 

19

 

 

Because of these limitations, you should consider Adjusted EBITDA alongside other financial performance measures, including various cash flow metrics, net loss and our other GAAP results. The following unaudited table presents a reconciliation of net loss, the most directly comparable financial measure calculated and presented in accordance with GAAP, to Adjusted EBITDA for each of the periods indicated:

Three Months Ended June 30, 2016 Compared to Three Months Ended June 30, 2015

 

Revenues

 

Revenues decreased to $2,613,962 for the three months ended June 30, 2016, from $3,188,539 for the three months ended June 30, 2015. The decrease is mainly driven by a decrease in subscription revenue primarily as a result of a decreased number of new subscription transactions and a decrease in the number of active subscribers, partially offset by an increase in advertising revenue.

 

The following table sets forth our subscription revenue, advertising revenue and total revenues for the three months ended June 30, 2016 and the three months ended June 30, 2015, the decrease between those periods, the percentage decrease between those periods, and the percentage of total revenues that each represented for those periods:

Subscription – Our subscription revenue for the three months ended June 30, 2016 decreased by $616,235, or 20.0%, as compared to the three months ended June 30, 2015. This decrease in subscription revenue for the three months ended June 30, 2016 was primarily due to a decrease in the scale of user acquisition campaigns as a result of a decrease in FirstMet advertising expense of 15.4% as compared to the three months ended June 30, 2015. In addition, subscription revenue was impacted by lower subscription prices for new transactions in the three months ended June 30, 2016 when compared to the same period in 2015.

 

Advertising – Our advertising revenue for the three months ended June 30, 2016 increased by $41,658, or 37.0%, as compared to the three months ended June 30, 2015. The increase in advertising revenue resulted from new advertising partnerships and more advertisement placements.

Revenues

 

Revenues decreased to $5,291,229 for the six months ended June 30, 2016, from $6,374,622 for the six months ended June 30, 2015. The decrease is mainly driven by a decrease in subscription revenue primarily as a result of a decreased number of new subscription transactions and a decrease in the number of active subscribers, partially offset by an increase in advertising revenue.

 

The following table sets forth our subscription revenue, advertising revenue and total revenues for the six months ended June 30, 2016 and the six months ended June 30, 2015, the decrease between those periods, the percentage decrease between those periods, and the percentage of total revenues that each represented for those periods:

In addition, the year-over-year comparison of our subscription revenue was negatively impacted by unfavorable changes in foreign exchange rates. Subscription revenue as a percentage of total revenues was 93.9% for the six months ended June 30, 2016, as compared to 97.3% for the six months ended June 30, 2015.

 

Advertising – Our advertising revenue for the six months ended June 30, 2016 increased by $155,004, or 91.5%, as compared to the six months ended June 30, 2015.

Net (decrease) increase in cash and cash equivalents   $ (569,345 )   $ 776,343  

 

We have historically financed our operations through cash generated from debt and equity offerings, cash provided from operations and promissory notes from investors.

 

A significant portion of our expenses are related to user acquisition costs, and we believe that the number of our active subscribers is strongly correlated to our spending on sales and marketing. Our sales and marketing expenses are primarily spent on channels where we can estimate the return on investment without long-term commitments. Accordingly, we can adjust our sales and marketing expenditures quickly based on the expected return on investment, which provides flexibility and enables us to manage our sales and marketing expense. For the six months ended June 30, 2016, our spending on sales and marketing was 21.3% lower than the six months ended June 30, 2015, which we believe resulted in a decrease in the number of active subscribers during 2016. As described above in “Results of Operations,” we believe that the decrease in the number of active subscribers for the six months ended June 30, 2016 has negatively impacted our revenues as compared to the same period in 2015.

 

As of June 30, 2016, we had $1,561,917 in cash and cash equivalents, as compared to cash and cash equivalents of $2,131,262 as of December 31, 2015. Historically, our working capital has been generated through operations and equity offerings. If we grow and expand our operations, our need for working capital will increase. We intend to finance our business and growth with cash on hand, cash provided from operations, borrowings, debt or equity offerings, or some combination thereof.

 

We have also incurred debt as a means of generating liquidity. As of June 30, 2016, the outstanding principal amount of our debt was $3,000,000, which consisted entirely of the Senior Note. In addition, we recently entered into the Term Note with Paltalk and, as of August 8, 2016, had borrowed $200,000 available under the Term Note.

 

Debt

 

On February 13, 2015, we issued the Senior Note in the aggregate principal amount of $3,000,000 to Sigma II in a private placement. The Senior Note bears interest at a rate of 12% per annum and matures on the earlier of February 13, 2017 or a change in control. During any time while the Senior Note is outstanding, the outstanding principal balance of the Senior Note, together with all accrued and unpaid interest, is convertible into shares of our common stock at the option of Sigma II at a conversion price of $0.20 per share, subject to certain adjustments. The Senior Note requires us to maintain an aggregate cash balance of $1,350,000 million in our bank accounts or we will be required to make partial prepayments on the Senior Note. If we fail to maintain this aggregate cash balance in our bank accounts for a thirty day period, we are required to make a $125,000 prepayment on the Senior Note. For each subsequent calendar month that the aggregate cash balance in our bank accounts does not equal or exceed $1,500,000 million, we must make an additional $125,000 prepayment on the Senior Note. Our obligations under the Senior Note are secured by a first priority lien on all of our assets and property. The Senior Note is secured by up to 65% of the outstanding capital stock and other equity interests of Snap Mobile Limited, our wholly owned subsidiary. Snap Mobile Limited is also a guarantor of the Senior Note. We have and will continue to use the proceeds from the private placement for general corporate purposes, including working capital.

 

In order to help fund our operations and comply with the obligations of the Senior Note, on July 18, 2016, we entered into the Term Note with Paltalk, pursuant to which Paltalk agreed to advance to us, upon our request and subject to the terms and conditions set forth in the Term Note, up to $250,000. As of August 8, 2016, we had borrowed $200,000 available under the Term Note. The Term Note matures on July 18, 2017, subject to certain exceptions, and advances under the Term Note shall bear interest at a rate of 8.0% per annum. We may prepay amounts due under the Term Note without penalty, but we may not reborrow any principal amount that has been repaid.

 

25

 

 

In connection with the entry into the Term Note, on July 18, 2016, we entered into the Security Agreement with Paltalk. The Security Agreement will not become effective until, among other things, the Senior Note is paid in full. Upon the effectiveness of the Security Agreement, our obligations under the Term Note will be secured by a first priority security interest in all of our assets and property, including 65% of the capital stock and other equity interests of SNAP Mobile Limited.

 

Our ability to grow our business, continue to meet our obligations and make payments on the Senior Note is dependent upon establishing consistently profitable operations, which may be supplemented by raising additional funds through public or private financings or strategic business combinations. See “Recent Developments—Non-Binding Letter of Intent.” Although we currently believe that we have sufficient resources to make our required payments on the Senior Note throughout 2016, we believe that we will need to raise additional capital in the future to fund our operations, repay the Senior Note when it becomes due on February 13, 2017 and maintain compliance with the minimum cash balance covenant in the Senior Note.

 

If we are unable to raise additional capital, we may breach the minimum cash balance requirement under the Senior Note and we may be unable to make payments on the Senior Note. As a result, we may need to restructure or refinance the Senior Note, and we may not be able to complete such restructuring or refinancing on terms that are acceptable to us or at all. As described above, if we breach the minimum cash balance requirement we will be required to make prepayments on the Senior Note, which would materially adversely affect our ability to conduct our operations.

 

If we cannot make scheduled payments on the Senior Note or repay the Senior Note when it becomes due, we will be in default and Sigma II could declare all outstanding principal and interest on the Senior Note to be immediately due and payable and could foreclose against the assets securing the Senior Note, which could force us into bankruptcy or liquidation.

 

Going Concern

 

Our financial statements for the six months ended June 30, 2016 indicate there is substantial doubt about our ability to continue as a going concern as we require additional equity and/or debt financing to continue our operations. We must ultimately generate sufficient cash flow to meet our obligations on a timely basis, repay the Senior Note which is due on February 13, 2017, attain profitability in our business operations and be able to fund our long term business development and growth plans. Our business will require significant amounts of capital to sustain operations and make the investments we need to execute our longer-term business plan. Management believes that we have access to capital resources through possible public or private equity offerings, debt financings, corporate collaborations, strategic business combinations or other means; however, we have not secured any commitment for new financing at this time nor can we provide any assurance that new financing will be available on commercially acceptable terms, if at all. See “Recent Developments—Non-Binding Letter of Intent.” Our liquidity and capital resources have decreased as a result of the net operating loss of $632,584 that we incurred during the six months ended June 30, 2016. On June 30, 2016, our accumulated deficit amounted to $17,019,262.

 

Operating Activities

 

Net cash used in operating activities was $520,435 for the six months ended June 30, 2016, as compared to net cash used in operating activities of $1,446,642 for the six months ended June 30, 2015. This decrease in net cash used in operating activities was a result of a decrease in our accrued expenses mainly driven by the one-time repayment of the advance under the Acquisition Agreement with Zoosk and security deposit made in connection with the relocation of our corporate office.

 

Significant items impacting cash flow in the six months ended June 30, 2016 included significant cash outlays relating to sales and marketing expense, professional fees and related benefits. These uses of cash were offset in part by collections in subscription revenue received during the period.

 

Significant items impacting cash flow in the six months ended June 30, 2015 included significant cash outlays relating to sales and marketing expense, increases in programming, hosting and technology expense, professional fees and related benefits. These uses of cash were offset in part by collections in subscription revenue received during the period.

Investing Activities

 

Cash used in investing activities for the six months ended June 30, 2016 and 2015 was $13,533 and $32,287, respectively. Cash used in investing activities included purchases of property and equipment totaling $12,204 and $37,007 during the six months ended June 30, 2016 and 2015, respectively. These purchases consisted primarily of computers and office furniture during the periods. Purchases of property and equipment may vary from period to period due to the timing of the expansion of our operations and software development.

 

Financing Activities

 

Cash (used in) provided by financing activities for the six months ended June 30, 2016 and 2015 was $(35,377) and $2,255,272, respectively.

 

The decrease relates to the issuance of the Senior Note in the aggregate principal amount of $3,000,000 to Sigma II during the six months ended June 30, 2015, which was partially offset by the repayment of two promissory notes in the aggregate principal amount of $400,000 and payments for our capital lease obligations in 2015.

 

Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements

 

As of June 30, 2016, we did not have any off-balance sheet arrangements.

 

Contractual Obligations and Commitments

 

On February 4, 2015, the Company entered into a lease for office space located at 320 West 37th Street, 13th Floor, New York, NY 10018 and paid a security deposit in the amount of $200,659. The term of the lease runs until March 4, 2022. The Company’s monthly office rent payments under the lease are currently approximately $26,000 per month and escalate on an annual basis for each year of the term of the lease.

In February 2016, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued Accounting Standard Update (“ASU”) No. 2016-02, Leases (“ASU 2016-02”), which amends the existing accounting standards for lease accounting, including requiring lessees to recognize most leases on their balance sheets and making targeted changes to lessor accounting. ASU 2016-02 will be effective beginning in the first quarter of 2019. Early adoption of ASU 2016-02 is permitted. The new standard requires a modified retrospective transition approach for all leases existing at, or entered into after, the date of initial application, with an option to use certain transition relief. The Company is currently evaluating the impact of adopting ASU 2016-02 on its consolidated financial statements.

 

In March 2016, the FASB issued ASU No. 2016-09, “Compensation – Stock Compensation (Topic 718)” (“ASU 2016-09”). ASU 2016-09 requires an entity to simplify several aspects of the accounting for share-based payment transactions, including the income tax consequences, classification of awards as either equity or liabilities, and classification on the statement of cash flows. ASU 2016-09 is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2016, either early adoption permitted. The Company is currently evaluating ASU 2016-09 and its impact on its consolidated financial statements or disclosures.

 

Significant Accounting Policies and Estimates

 

The discussion and analysis of our financial condition and results of operations are based upon our condensed consolidated financial statements that have been prepared in accordance with GAAP. The preparation of these financial statements requires us to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenue and expenses during the reporting period. Significant estimates relied upon in preparing these financial statements include the provision for future credit card chargebacks and refunds on subscription revenue, estimates used to determine the fair value of our common stock, stock options, non-cash capital stock issuances, stock-based compensation and common stock warrants, collectability of our accounts receivable and the valuation allowance on deferred tax assets. Management evaluates these estimates on an ongoing basis. Changes in estimates are recorded in the period in which they become known. We base estimates on historical experience and various other assumptions that we believe to be reasonable under the circumstances. Actual results may differ from our estimates.

 

During the six months ended June 30, 2016, there were no material changes to our significant accounting policies from those contained in the Form 10-K. Certain critical accounting policies are included here as follows:

 

Reclassification

 

Certain prior period amounts have been reclassified for comparative purposes to conform to the fiscal 2015 presentation. These reclassifications have no impact on the previously reported net loss.

ITEM 3. QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK

 

Not applicable.

 

ITEM 4. CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES

 

Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures

 

Our management, including our chief executive officer and chief financial officer, evaluated the effectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Rules 13a-15(e) or 15d-15(e) under the Exchange Act) as of the end of the period covered by this report. There are inherent limitations to the effectiveness of any system of disclosure controls and procedures. In designing and evaluating the disclosure controls and procedures, management recognized that any controls and procedures, no matter how well designed and operated, can provide only reasonable assurance of achieving the desired control objectives.

 

Based on the evaluation as of June 30, 2016, for the reasons set forth below, our chief executive officer and chief financial officer concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures were not effective to provide reasonable assurance that information we are required to disclose in reports that we file or submit under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the SEC’s rules and forms, and that such information is accumulated and communicated to our management, including our chief executive officer and chief financial officer, as appropriate, to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure.

 

A material weakness is a deficiency, or a combination of deficiencies, in internal control over financial reporting, such that there is a reasonable possibility that a material misstatement of the Company's annual or interim financial statements will not be prevented or detected on a timely basis. In its assessment of the effectiveness of internal control our financial reporting as of June 30, 2016, the Company determined that the following item constituted a material weakness:

 

the Company did not have an independent audit committee in place, which would provide oversight of the Company’s officers, operations and financial reporting function.

 

Changes in Internal Control over Financial Reporting

 

There have been no changes in our internal control over financial reporting (as defined in Rules 13a-15(f) or 15d-15(f) under the Exchange Act) during the period covered by this report that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.

ITEM 1A. RISK FACTORS

 

There were no material changes to the Risk Factors disclosed in “Item 1A. Risk Factors” in the Form 10-K. For more information concerning our risk factors, please see “Item 1A. Risk Factors” in the Form 10-K.

 

ITEM 2. UNREGISTERED SALES OF EQUITY SECURITIES AND USE OF PROCEEDS

 

Dividend Policy

 

We have never declared or paid dividends on our common stock. We do not anticipate paying any dividends on our common stock in the foreseeable future. We currently intend to retain all available funds and any future earnings to fund the development and growth of our business. Any future determination to declare dividends will be subject to the discretion of our Board of Directors and will depend on various factors, including applicable Delaware law, future earnings, capital requirements, results of operations and any other relevant factors. In general, as a Delaware corporation, we may pay dividends out of surplus capital or, if there is no surplus capital, out of net profits for the fiscal year in which a dividend is declared and/or the preceding fiscal year. Pursuant to the terms of the Senior Note that we issued to Sigma II on February 13, 2015, we are restricted from paying cash dividends on our common stock without first obtaining Sigma II’s prior written consent.

ITEM 5. OTHER INFORMATION

 

On August 8, 2016, our Board of Directors approved and adopted (i) a form of agreement for nonqualified stock option awards (the “NQSO Agreement”) to be granted pursuant to Snap Interactive, Inc. 2016 Long-Term Incentive Plan (the “2016 Plan”), (ii) a form of agreement for incentive stock option awards (the “ISO Agreement,” and together with the NQSO Agreement, the “Option Agreements”) to be granted pursuant to the 2016 Plan and (iii) a form of agreement for restricted stock awards (the “RS Agreement”) to be granted pursuant to the 2016 Plan.

 

Stock options granted pursuant to the Option Agreements (“Awarded Options”) generally must have an exercise price equal to the fair market value of our common stock on the date of grant, as determined in accordance with the terms of the 2016 Incentive Plan (except with respect to grants under the ISO Agreement to a ten percent (10%) or more stockholder, as provided in Section 422 of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended, in which case the exercise price must be at least one hundred and ten percent (110%) of the fair market value of our common stock on the date of grant). Awarded Options will be subject to either time - based or performance - based vesting conditions, as determined by our Board of Directors, in its discretion, and as set forth in the recipient’s Option Agreement at the time of grant. The Option Agreements provide that upon the occurrence of a “change in control,” fifty percent (50%) of the then unvested Awarded Options will vest immediately on the date of such change in control, and the remaining fifty percent (50%) will vest on the earlier of the original date such Awarded Options would have vested, or equally on the first and second anniversary of the effective date of such change in control. The Option Agreements provide that the Awarded Options will expire on the date immediately preceding the tenth anniversary of the date of grant (except with respect to grants under the ISO Agreement to a ten percent (10%) or more stockholder, in which case the Awarded Options will expire on the date immediately preceding the fifth anniversary of the date of grant), unless sooner terminated in accordance with the terms of the Option Agreement. The Option Agreements also provide that (i) unvested Awarded Options terminate on the date of the recipient’s termination of service for any reason, and (ii) vested but unexercised Awarded Options will terminate upon the first to occur of (A) the expiration date of the Awarded Options, (B) immediately upon the recipient’s termination of service by Snap for cause, (C) immediately upon the recipient’s violation of any non-compete or non-solicitation agreement entered with Snap, or (D) the date the Awarded Options are forfeited by a recipient for failing to pay the exercise price for, or accept delivery of the shares underlying the Awarded Options. Our Board of Directors may, in its sole discretion and in accordance with the terms of the 2016 Incentive Plan, grant stock option awards with terms that are different from those contained in the Option Agreements.

 

Shares of restricted stock granted pursuant to the RS Agreement (“Awarded Shares”) are generally subject to a substantial risk of forfeiture and to restrictions on their sale or other transfer by the recipient until such Awarded Shares are vested in accordance with the terms of the RS Agreement. Awarded Shares will be subject to either time - based or performance - based vesting conditions, as determined by our Board of Directors, in its discretion, and as set forth in the recipient’s RS Agreement at the time of grant. The RS Agreement provides that upon the occurrence of a “change in control,” fifty percent (50%) of the then unvested Awarded Shares will vest immediately on the date of such change in control, and the remaining fifty percent (50%) will vest on the earlier of the original date such Awarded Shares would have vested, or equally on the first and second anniversary of the effective date of such change in control. The RS Agreement provides that Awarded Shares that are not vested in accordance with the terms of the RS Agreement will be forfeited on the date of the recipient’s termination of service from Snap for any reason. Our Board of Directors may, in its sole discretion and in accordance with the terms of the 2016 Incentive Plan, grant restricted stock awards with terms that are different from those contained in the RS Agreement.

 

The foregoing description of the NQSO Agreement, the ISO Agreement and the RS Agreement is qualified in its entirety to the full text of such forms, which are filed herewith as Exhibits 10.2, 10.3 and 10.4, respectively.

Exhibit 10.2

 

FORM OF NONQUALIFIED STOCK OPTION AGREEMENT

 

SNAP INTERACTIVE, INC.

2016 LONG-TERM INCENTIVE PLAN

 

1. Grant of Option . Pursuant to the Snap Interactive, Inc. 2016 Long-Term Incentive Plan (the “ Plan ”) for Employees, Contractors, and Outside Directors of Snap Interactive, Inc., a Delaware corporation (the “ Company ”), the Company grants to

 

_________________________

(the “ Participant ”),

 

an option (the “ Option ” or “ Stock Option ”) to purchase a total of ___________________ (__________) full shares of Common Stock of the Company (the “ Optioned Shares ”) at an “ Option Price ” equal to $________ per share (which is equal to the Fair Market Value per share of Common Stock on the Date of Grant).

 

The “ Date of Grant ” of this Stock Option is _________________, 20__. The “ Option Period ” shall commence on the Date of Grant and shall expire on the date immediately preceding the tenth (10 th ) anniversary of the Date of Grant, unless terminated earlier in accordance with Section 4 below. The Stock Option is a Nonqualified Stock Option. This Stock Option is intended to comply with the provisions governing nonqualified stock options under the final Treasury Regulations issued on April 17, 2007, in order to exempt this Stock Option from application of Section 409A of the Code.

 

2. Subject to Plan . The Stock Option and its exercise are subject to the terms and conditions of the Plan, and the terms of the Plan shall control to the extent not otherwise inconsistent with the provisions of this Nonqualified Stock Option Agreement (the “ Agreement ”). The capitalized terms used herein that are defined in the Plan shall have the same meanings assigned to them in the Plan. The Stock Option is subject to any rules promulgated pursuant to the Plan by the Board or the Committee and communicated to the Participant in writing.

 

3. Vesting; Time of Exercise . Except as specifically provided in this Agreement and subject to certain restrictions and conditions set forth in the Plan, the Optioned Shares shall be vested and the Stock Option shall be exercisable as follows:

 

a. _______________________ of the total Optioned Shares shall vest and that portion of the Stock Option shall become exercisable on __________________, provided the Participant is employed by (or, if the Participant is a Contractor or an Outside Director, is providing services to) the Company or a Subsidiary on that date.

 

b. _______________________ of the total Optioned Shares shall vest and that portion of the Stock Option shall become exercisable on __________________, provided the Participant is employed by (or, if the Participant is a Contractor or an Outside Director, is providing services to) the Company or a Subsidiary on that date.

 

c. _______________________ of the total Optioned Shares shall vest and that portion of the Stock Option shall become exercisable on __________________, provided the Participant is employed by (or, if the Participant is a Contractor or an Outside Director, is providing services to) the Company or a Subsidiary on that date.

 

 

 

 

d. _______________________ of the total Optioned Shares shall vest and that portion of the Stock Option shall become exercisable on __________________, provided the Participant is employed by (or, if the Participant is a Contractor or an Outside Director, is providing services to) the Company or a Subsidiary on that date.

 

Notwithstanding the foregoing, upon a Change in Control, (i) fifty percent (50%) of the then-unvested Optioned Shares immediately shall vest on the date of the Change in Control; and (ii) the remaining fifty percent (50%) of the unvested Optioned Shares shall vest on the earlier of (A) the original date such Optioned Shares would have vested under Sections 3.a.-[d.] above, or (B) equally on the first and second anniversary of the effective date of the Change in Control.

 

4. Term; Forfeiture .

 

a. Except as otherwise provided in this Agreement, to the extent the unexercised portion of the Stock Option relates to Optioned Shares which are not vested on the date of the Participant’s Termination of Service, the Stock Option will be terminated on that date. The unexercised portion of the Stock Option that relates to Optioned Shares which are vested will terminate at the first of the following to occur:

 

i. 5 p.m. on the date the Option Period terminates;

 

ii. immediately upon the Participant’s Termination of Service by the Company for Cause (as defined herein);

 

iii. 5 p.m. on the date the Company causes any portion of the Stock Option to be forfeited pursuant to Section 7 hereof; or

 

iv. immediately upon the Participant’s violation of any non-compete or non-solicitation agreement entered into between the Company and the Participant.

 

b. For purposes hereof, “ Cause ” shall have the meaning set forth in the employment agreement or other service agreement by and between the Company and the Participant; provided, that, if no such agreement is in effect or such agreement does not define such term, then “Cause” shall mean (i) acts of fraud or dishonesty in the course of employment or service, (ii) violations of law causing material harm to the Company, (iii) substance abuse causing harm to the Company or impairing performance, (iv) conviction of a felony involving moral turpitude, or (v) insubordination, dereliction of duties, habitual absenteeism, or material failure to follow reasonable Company instructions after (solely in the case of this clause (v)) notice to the Participant and the Participant’s failure to correct same within the time period specified in the notice, which time period shall be not less than ten (10) business days.

  

5. Who May Exercise . Subject to the terms and conditions set forth in Sections 3 and 4 above, during the lifetime of the Participant, the Stock Option may be exercised only by the Participant, or by the Participant’s guardian or personal or legal representative. If the Participant’s Termination of Service is due to his or her death prior to the dates specified in Section 4.a. hereof, and the Participant has not exercised the Stock Option as to the maximum number of vested Optioned Shares as set forth in Section 3 hereof as of the date of death, the following persons may exercise the exercisable portion of the Stock Option on behalf of the Participant at any time prior to the earliest of the dates specified in Section 4.a. hereof: the personal representative of his or her estate, or the person who acquired the right to exercise the Stock Option by bequest or inheritance or by reason of the death of the Participant; provided that the Stock Option shall remain subject to the other terms of this Agreement, the Plan, and Applicable Laws, rules, and regulations.

 

2

 

 

6. No Fractional Shares . The Stock Option may be exercised only with respect to full shares, and no fractional share of stock shall be issued.

 

7. Manner of Exercise . Subject to such administrative regulations as the Committee may from time to time adopt, the Stock Option may be exercised by the delivery of written notice to the Committee setting forth the number of shares of Common Stock with respect to which the Stock Option is to be exercised (the “ Exercise Notice ”) and the date of exercise thereof (the “ Exercise Date ”) which shall be the date that the Participant has delivered both the Exercise Notice and consideration to the Company with a value equal to the total Option Price of the shares to be purchased (plus any employment tax withholding or other tax payment due with respect to the exercise of the Stock Option). On the Exercise Date, the Participant shall deliver to the Company consideration with a value equal to the total Option Price of the shares to be purchased, payable as follows: (a) cash, check, bank draft, or money order payable to the order of the Company, (b) if the Company, in its sole discretion, so consents in writing, Common Stock (including Restricted Stock) owned by the Participant on the Exercise Date, valued at its Fair Market Value on the Exercise Date, and which the Participant has not acquired from the Company within six (6) months prior to the Exercise Date, (c) if the Company, in its sole discretion, so consents in writing, by delivery (including by FAX or electronic transmission) to the Company or its designated agent of an executed irrevocable option exercise form (or, to the extent permitted by the Company, exercise instructions, which may be communicated in writing, telephonically, or electronically) together with irrevocable instructions from the Participant to a broker or dealer, reasonably acceptable to the Company, to sell certain of the shares of Common Stock purchased upon exercise of the Stock Option or to pledge such shares as collateral for a loan and promptly deliver to the Company the amount of sale or loan proceeds necessary to pay such purchase price, and/or (d) in any other form of valid consideration that is acceptable to the Committee in its sole discretion. In the event that shares of Restricted Stock are tendered as consideration for the exercise of a Stock Option, a number of shares of Common Stock issued upon the exercise of the Stock Option equal to the number of shares of Restricted Stock used as consideration therefor shall be subject to the same restrictions and provisions as the Restricted Stock so tendered. If the Participant fails to deliver the consideration described above within three (3) business days of the date of the Exercise Notice, then the Exercise Notice shall be null and void and the Company will have no obligation to deliver any shares of Common Stock to the Participant in connection with such Exercise Notice.

 

Upon payment of all amounts due from the Participant, the Company shall cause certificates for the Common Stock then being purchased to be delivered as directed by the Participant (or the person exercising the Participant’s Stock Option in the event of his or her death) at its principal business office promptly after the Exercise Date. The obligation of the Company to deliver shares of Common Stock shall, however, be subject to the condition that, if at any time the Committee shall determine in its discretion that the listing, registration, or qualification of the Stock Option or the Common Stock upon any securities exchange or inter-dealer quotation system or under any state or federal law, or the consent or approval of any governmental regulatory body, is necessary as a condition of, or in connection with, the Stock Option or the issuance or purchase of shares of Common Stock thereunder, the Stock Option may not be exercised in whole or in part unless such listing, registration, qualification, consent, or approval shall have been effected or obtained free of any conditions not reasonably acceptable to the Committee.

 

If the Participant fails to pay for any of the Common Stock specified in such notice or fails to accept delivery thereof, that portion of the Participant’s Stock Option and right to purchase such Common Stock may be forfeited by the Participant.

8. Nonassignability . The Stock Option is not assignable or transferable by the Participant except by will or by the laws of descent and distribution.

 

9. Rights as Stockholder . The Participant will have no rights as a stockholder with respect to any of the Optioned Shares until the issuance of a certificate or certificates to the Participant for the shares of Common Stock. The Optioned Shares shall be subject to the terms and conditions of this Agreement. Except as otherwise provided in Section 10 hereof, no adjustment shall be made for dividends or other rights for which the record date is prior to the issuance of such certificate or certificates. The Participant, by his or her execution of this Agreement, agrees to execute any documents requested by the Company in connection with the issuance of a certificate or certificates for the shares of Common Stock.

 

10. Adjustment of Number of Optioned Shares and Related Matters . The number of shares of Common Stock covered by the Stock Option, and the Option Prices thereof, shall be subject to adjustment in accordance with Articles 11 - 13 of the Plan.

 

11. Nonqualified Stock Option . The Stock Option shall not be treated as an Incentive Stock Option.

 

12. Voting . The Participant, as record holder of some or all of the Optioned Shares following exercise of this Stock Option, has the exclusive right to vote, or consent with respect to, such Optioned Shares until such time as the Optioned Shares are transferred in accordance with this Agreement; provided , however , that this Section shall not create any voting right where the holders of such Optioned Shares otherwise have no such right.

 

13. Specific Performance . The parties acknowledge that remedies at law will be inadequate remedies for breach of this Agreement and consequently agree that this Agreement shall be enforceable by specific performance. The remedy of specific performance shall be cumulative of all of the rights and remedies at law or in equity of the parties under this Agreement.

 

14. Participant’s Representations . Notwithstanding any of the provisions hereof, the Participant hereby agrees that he or she will not exercise the Stock Option granted hereby, and that the Company will not be obligated to issue any shares to the Participant hereunder, if the exercise thereof or the issuance of such shares shall constitute a violation by the Participant or the Company of any provision of any law or regulation of any governmental authority. Any determination in this connection by the Company shall be final, binding, and conclusive. The obligations of the Company and the rights of the Participant are subject to all Applicable Laws, rules, and regulations.

 

15. Investment Representation . Unless the shares of Common Stock are issued to the Participant in a transaction registered under applicable federal and state securities laws, by his or her execution hereof, the Participant represents and warrants to the Company that all Common Stock which may be purchased hereunder will be acquired by the Participant for investment purposes for his or her own account and not with any intent for resale or distribution in violation of federal or state securities laws. Unless the Common Stock is issued to him or her in a transaction registered under the applicable federal and state securities laws, all certificates issued with respect to the Common Stock shall bear an appropriate restrictive investment legend and shall be held indefinitely, unless they are subsequently registered under the applicable federal and state securities laws or the Participant obtains an opinion of counsel, in form and substance satisfactory to the Company and its counsel, that such registration is not required.

16. Participant’s Acknowledgments . The Participant acknowledges that a copy of the Plan has been made available for his or her review by the Company, and represents that he or she is familiar with the terms and provisions thereof, and hereby accepts this Stock Option subject to all the terms and provisions thereof. The Participant hereby agrees to accept as binding, conclusive, and final all decisions or interpretations of the Committee or the Board, as appropriate, upon any questions arising under the Plan or this Agreement.

 

17. Law Governing . This Agreement shall be governed by, construed, and enforced in accordance with the laws of the State of Delaware (excluding any conflict of laws rule or principle of Delaware law that might refer the governance, construction, or interpretation of this Agreement to the laws of another state).

 

18. No Right to Continue Service or Employment .

(the “ Participant ”),

 

who is an Employee of the Company, an option (the “ Option ” or “ Stock Option ”) to purchase a total of _____________________ (_________) full shares of Common Stock of the Company (the “ Optioned Shares ”) at an “ Option Price ” equal to $________ per share (which is equal to the Fair Market Value per share of Common Stock on the Date of Grant or 110% of such Fair Market Value, in the case of a ten percent (10%) or more stockholder as provided in Section 422 of the Code), in the amounts, during the periods and upon the terms and conditions set forth in this Incentive Stock Option Agreement (the “ Agreement ”).

 

The “ Date of Grant ” of this Stock Option is _________________, 20___. The “ Option Period ” shall commence on the Date of Grant and shall expire on the date immediately preceding the tenth (10 th ) anniversary of the Date of Grant (or the date immediately preceding the fifth (5 th ) anniversary of the Date of Grant, in the case of a ten percent (10%) or more stockholder as provided in Section 422 of the Code) unless terminated earlier in accordance with Section 4 below. The Stock Option is intended to be an Incentive Stock Option.

 

2. Subject to Plan . The Stock Option and its exercise are subject to the terms and conditions of the Plan, and the terms of the Plan shall control to the extent not otherwise inconsistent with the provisions of this Agreement. The capitalized terms used herein that are defined in the Plan shall have the same meanings assigned to them in the Plan. The Stock Option is subject to any rules promulgated pursuant to the Plan by the Board or the Committee and communicated to the Participant in writing.

 

3. Vesting; Time of Exercise . Except as specifically provided in this Agreement and subject to certain restrictions and conditions set forth in the Plan, the Optioned Shares shall be vested and the Stock Option shall be exercisable as follows:

 

a. _____________________ of the total Optioned Shares shall vest and that portion of the Stock Option shall become exercisable on _________________________, provided the Participant is employed by the Company or a Subsidiary on that date.

 

b. _____________________ of the total Optioned Shares shall vest and that portion of the Stock Option shall become exercisable on ________________________, provided the Participant is employed by the Company or a Subsidiary on that date.

 

c. _____________________ of the total Optioned Shares shall vest and that portion of the Stock Option shall become exercisable on ________________________, provided the Participant is employed by the Company or a Subsidiary on that date.

 

 

 

 

d. _____________________ of the total Optioned Shares shall vest and that portion of the Stock Option shall become exercisable on ________________________, provided the Participant is employed by the Company or a Subsidiary on that date.

 

Notwithstanding the foregoing, upon a Change in Control, (i) fifty percent (50%) of the then-unvested Optioned Shares immediately shall vest on the date of the Change in Control; and (ii) the remaining fifty percent (50%) of the unvested Optioned Shares shall vest on the earlier of (A) the original date such Optioned Shares would have vested under Sections 3.a.-[d.] above, or (B) equally on the first and second anniversary of the effective date of the Change in Control.

 

4. Term; Forfeiture .

 

a. Except as otherwise provided in this Agreement, to the extent the unexercised portion of the Stock Option relates to Optioned Shares which are not vested on the date of the Participant’s Termination of Service, the Stock Option will be terminated on that date. The unexercised portion of the Stock Option that relates to Optioned Shares which are vested will terminate at the first of the following to occur:

 

i. 5 p.m. on the date the Option Period terminates;

 

ii. immediately upon the Participant’s Termination of Service by the Company for Cause (as defined herein);

 

iii. 5 p.m. on the date which is twelve (12) months following the date of the Participant’s Termination of Service due to death or Total and Permanent Disability;

 

iv. 5 p.m. on the date which is three (3) months following the date of the Participant’s Termination of Service for any reason not otherwise specified in this Section 4.a. ;

 

v. 5 p.m. on the date the Company causes any portion of the Stock Option to be forfeited pursuant to Section 7 hereof; or

 

vi. immediately upon the Participant’s violation of any non-compete or non-solicitation agreement entered into between the Company and the Participant.

 

b. For purposes hereof, “ Cause ” shall have the meaning set forth in the employment agreement by and between the Company and the Participant; provided, that, if no such agreement is in effect or such agreement does not define such term, then “Cause” shall mean (i) acts of fraud or dishonesty in the course of employment, (ii) violations of law causing material harm to the Company, (iii) substance abuse causing harm to the Company or impairing performance, (iv) conviction of a felony involving moral turpitude, or (v) insubordination, dereliction of duties, habitual absenteeism, or material failure to follow reasonable Company instructions after (solely in the case of this clause (v)) notice to the Participant and the Participant’s failure to correct same within the time period specified in the notice, which time period shall be not less than ten (10) business days.

 

5. Who May Exercise . Subject to the terms and conditions set forth in Sections 3 and 4 above, during the lifetime of the Participant, the Stock Option may be exercised only by the Participant, or by the Participant’s guardian or personal or legal representative. If the Participant’s Termination of Service is due to his or her death prior to the dates specified in Section 4.a. hereof, and the Participant has not exercised the Stock Option as to the maximum number of vested Optioned Shares as set forth in Section 3 hereof as of the date of death, the following persons may exercise the exercisable portion of the Stock Option on behalf of the Participant at any time prior to the earliest of the dates specified in Section 4.a. hereof: the personal representative of his or her estate, or the person who acquired the right to exercise the Stock Option by bequest or inheritance or by reason of the death of the Participant; provided that the Stock Option shall remain subject to the other terms of this Agreement, the Plan, and Applicable Laws, rules, and regulations.

6. No Fractional Shares . The Stock Option may be exercised only with respect to full shares, and no fractional share of stock shall be issued.

 

7. Manner of Exercise . Subject to such administrative regulations as the Committee may from time to time adopt, the Stock Option may be exercised by the delivery of written notice to the Committee setting forth the number of shares of Common Stock with respect to which the Stock Option is to be exercised (the “ Exercise Notice ”), whether the Optioned Shares to be exercised will be considered as deemed granted under an Incentive Stock Option as provided in Section 11 , and the date of exercise thereof (the “ Exercise Date ”) which shall be the date that the Participant has delivered both the Exercise Notice and consideration to the Company with a value equal to the total Option Price of the shares to be purchased (plus any employment tax withholding or other tax payment due with respect to the exercise of the Stock Option). On the Exercise Date, the Participant shall deliver to the Company consideration with a value equal to the total Option Price of the shares to be purchased, payable as follows: (a) cash, check, bank draft, or money order payable to the order of the Company, (b) if the Company, in its sole discretion, so consents in writing, Common Stock (including Restricted Stock) owned by the Participant on the Exercise Date, valued at its Fair Market Value on the Exercise Date, and which the Participant has not acquired from the Company within six (6) months prior to the Exercise Date, (c) if the Company, in its sole discretion, so consents in writing, by delivery (including by FAX or electronic transmission) to the Company or its designated agent of an executed irrevocable option exercise form (or, to the extent permitted by the Company, exercise instructions, which may be communicated in writing, telephonically, or electronically) together with irrevocable instructions from the Participant to a broker or dealer, reasonably acceptable to the Company, to sell certain of the shares of Common Stock purchased upon exercise of the Stock Option or to pledge such shares as collateral for a loan and promptly deliver to the Company the amount of sale or loan proceeds necessary to pay such purchase price, and/or (d) in any other form of valid consideration that is acceptable to the Committee in its sole discretion. In the event that shares of Restricted Stock are tendered as consideration for the exercise of a Stock Option, a number of shares of Common Stock issued upon the exercise of the Stock Option equal to the number of shares of Restricted Stock used as consideration therefor shall be subject to the same restrictions and provisions as the Restricted Stock so tendered. If the Participant fails to deliver the consideration described above within three (3) business days of the date of the Exercise Notice, then the Exercise Notice shall be null and void and the Company will have no obligation to deliver any shares of Common Stock to the Participant in connection with such Exercise Notice.

 

Upon payment of all amounts due from the Participant, the Company shall cause certificates for the Common Stock then being purchased to be delivered as directed by the Participant (or the person exercising the Participant’s Stock Option in the event of his or her death) at its principal business office promptly after the Exercise Date; provided that if the Participant has exercised an Incentive Stock Option, the Company may at its option retain physical possession of the certificate evidencing the shares acquired upon exercise until the expiration of the holding periods described in Section 422(a)(1) of the Code. The obligation of the Company to deliver shares of Common Stock shall, however, be subject to the condition that, if at any time the Committee shall determine in its discretion that the listing, registration, or qualification of the Stock Option or the Common Stock upon any securities exchange or inter-dealer quotation system or under any state or federal law, or the consent or approval of any governmental regulatory body, is necessary as a condition of, or in connection with, the Stock Option or the issuance or purchase of shares of Common Stock thereunder, the Stock Option may not be exercised in whole or in part unless such listing, registration, qualification, consent, or approval shall have been effected or obtained free of any conditions not reasonably acceptable to the Committee.

 

3

 

 

If the Participant fails to pay for any of the Common Stock specified in such notice or fails to accept delivery thereof, that portion of the Participant’s Stock Option and right to purchase such Common Stock may be forfeited by the Participant.

 

8. Nonassignability . The Stock Option is not assignable or transferable by the Participant except by will or by the laws of descent and distribution.

 

9. Rights as Stockholder . The Participant will have no rights as a stockholder with respect to any of the Optioned Shares until the issuance of a certificate or certificates to the Participant for the shares of Common Stock. The Optioned Shares shall be subject to the terms and conditions of this Agreement. Except as otherwise provided in Section 10 hereof, no adjustment shall be made for dividends or other rights for which the record date is prior to the issuance of such certificate or certificates. The Participant, by his or her execution of this Agreement, agrees to execute any documents requested by the Company in connection with the issuance of a certificate or certificates for the shares of Common Stock.

 

10. Adjustment of Number of Optioned Shares and Related Matters . The number of shares of Common Stock covered by the Stock Option, and the Option Prices thereof, shall be subject to adjustment in accordance with Articles 11 – 13 of the Plan.

 

11. Incentive Stock Option . Subject to the provisions of the Plan, the Stock Option is intended to be an Incentive Stock Option. To the extent the number of Optioned Shares exceeds the limit set forth in Section 6.3 of the Plan, such Optioned Shares shall be deemed granted pursuant to a Nonqualified Stock Option. Unless otherwise indicated by the Participant in the notice of exercise pursuant to Section 7 , upon any exercise of this Stock Option, the number of exercised Optioned Shares that shall be deemed to be exercised pursuant to an Incentive Stock Option shall equal the total number of Optioned Shares so exercised multiplied by a fraction, (i) the numerator of which is the number of unexercised Optioned Shares that could then be exercised pursuant to an Incentive Stock Option, and (ii) the denominator of which is the then total number of unexercised Optioned Shares.

 

12. Disqualifying Disposition . In the event that Common Stock acquired upon exercise of this Stock Option is disposed of by the Participant in a “Disqualifying Disposition,” such Participant shall notify the Company in writing within thirty (30) days after such disposition of the date and terms of such disposition. For purposes hereof, “ Disqualifying Disposition ” shall mean a disposition of Common Stock that is acquired upon the exercise of this Stock Option (and that is not deemed granted pursuant to a Nonqualified Stock Option under Section 11 ) prior to the expiration of either two (2) years from the Date of Grant of this Stock Option or one (1) year from the transfer of shares to the Participant pursuant to the exercise of the Stock Option.

 

13. Voting . The Participant, as record holder of some or all of the Optioned Shares following exercise of this Stock Option, has the exclusive right to vote, or consent with respect to, such Optioned Shares until such time as the Optioned Shares are transferred in accordance with this Agreement; provided , however , that this Section shall not create any voting right where the holders of such Optioned Shares otherwise have no such right.

 

4

 

 

14. Specific Performance . The parties acknowledge that remedies at law will be inadequate remedies for breach of this Agreement and consequently agree that this Agreement shall be enforceable by specific performance. The remedy of specific performance shall be cumulative of all of the rights and remedies at law or in equity of the parties under this Agreement.

 

15. Participant’s Representations . Notwithstanding any of the provisions hereof, the Participant hereby agrees that he or she will not exercise the Stock Option granted hereby, and that the Company will not be obligated to issue any shares to the Participant hereunder, if the exercise thereof or the issuance of such shares shall constitute a violation by the Participant or the Company of any provision of any law or regulation of any governmental authority. Any determination in this connection by the Company shall be final, binding, and conclusive. The obligations of the Company and the rights of the Participant are subject to all Applicable Laws, rules, and regulations.

 

16. Investment Representation . Unless the shares of Common Stock are issued to the Participant in a transaction registered under applicable federal and state securities laws, by his or her execution hereof, the Participant represents and warrants to the Company that all Common Stock which may be purchased hereunder will be acquired by the Participant for investment purposes for his or her own account and not with any intent for resale or distribution in violation of federal or state securities laws. Unless the Common Stock is issued to him or her in a transaction registered under the applicable federal and state securities laws, all certificates issued with respect to the Common Stock shall bear an appropriate restrictive investment legend and shall be held indefinitely, unless they are subsequently registered under the applicable federal and state securities laws or the Participant obtains an opinion of counsel, in form and substance satisfactory to the Company and its counsel, that such registration is not required.

 

17. Participant’s Acknowledgments . The Participant acknowledges that a copy of the Plan has been made available for his or her review by the Company, and represents that he or she is familiar with the terms and provisions thereof, and hereby accepts this Stock Option subject to all the terms and provisions thereof. The Participant hereby agrees to accept as binding, conclusive, and final all decisions or interpretations of the Committee or the Board, as appropriate, upon any questions arising under the Plan or this Agreement.

 

18. Law Governing . This Agreement shall be governed by, construed, and enforced in accordance with the laws of the State of Delaware (excluding any conflict of laws rule or principle of Delaware law that might refer the governance, construction, or interpretation of this Agreement to the laws of another state).

 

19. No Right to Continue Employment . Nothing herein shall be construed to confer upon the Participant the right to continue in the employment of the Company or interfere with or restrict in any way the right of the Company to discharge the Participant at any time.

 

20. Legal Construction. In the event that any one or more of the terms, provisions, or agreements that are contained in this Agreement shall be held by a court of competent jurisdiction to be invalid, illegal, or unenforceable in any respect for any reason, the invalid, illegal, or unenforceable term, provision, or agreement shall not affect any other term, provision, or agreement that is contained in this Agreement and this Agreement shall be construed in all respects as if the invalid, illegal, or unenforceable term, provision, or agreement had never been contained herein.

 

21. Covenants and Agreements as Independent Agreements . Each of the covenants and agreements that is set forth in this Agreement shall be construed as a covenant and agreement independent of any other provision of this Agreement. The existence of any claim or cause of action of the Participant against the Company, whether predicated on this Agreement or otherwise, shall not constitute a defense to the enforcement by the Company of the covenants and agreements that are set forth in this Agreement.

Execution Version

 

EXCHANGE AGREEMENT

 

This EXCHANGE AGREEMENT (the “Agreement”) is made as of the 13th day of July, 2016, by and among Sigma Opportunity Fund II, LLC, a Delaware limited liability company (the “Fund”), Sigma Capital Advisors, LLC, a Delaware limited liability company (“Advisors” and together with the Fund, the “Holders”), and SNAP Interactive, Inc., a Delaware corporation (the “Company”).

 

WHEREAS , the Fund is the record owner of warrants (the “Fund Warrants”) to purchase 10,500,000 shares of common stock, par value $.001 per share, of the Company (“Common Stock”);

 

WHEREAS , Advisors is the record owner of warrants (the “Advisors Warrants” and together with the Fund Warrants, the “Warrants”) to purchase 4,500,000 shares of Common Stock;

 

WHEREAS , the Holders desire to exchange the Warrants for an aggregate of 2,000,000 shares of Common Stock, and the Company has agreed to issue such shares of Common Stock to the Holders in exchange for the Warrants, upon the terms and conditions set forth in this Agreement.

 

NOW, THEREFORE , in consideration of the mutual promises, covenants and agreements herein, and intending to be legally bound hereby, the parties agree as follows:

 

 

1. Exchange of Shares.

 

Exchange . On the terms and subject to the conditions set forth in this Agreement, on the date hereof (i) the Holders will surrender for cancellation the Warrants and (ii) the Company will issue to the Holders an aggregate of 2,000,000 shares of Common Stock (the “Shares”), 1,400,000 of which shall be issued to the Fund and 600,000 of which shall be issued to Advisors (the “Exchange”). The Holders acknowledge and agree that upon completion of the Exchange, the Warrants shall be terminated and cancelled in full and rendered null and void without any additional action on the part of the Company or the Holders, and the Holders shall have no surviving right, title or interest in or to the Warrants or any Common Stock purchasable thereunder.

 

Piggy-Back Registrations . If at any time the Company shall determine to prepare and file with the commission a registration statement relating to an offering for its own account or the account of others under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”), of any of its equity securities, other than on Form S-4 or Form S-8 or their then equivalents relating to equity securities to be issued solely in connection with any acquisition of any entity or business or equity securities issuable in connection with stock option or other employee benefit plans, the Company shall send to the Holders written notice of such determination and, if within ten (10) days after receipt of such notice, such Holder shall so request in writing, the Company shall include in such registration statement all or any part of the Shares such Holder requests to be registered, except that if, in connection with any underwritten public offering for the account of the Company the managing underwriter(s) thereof shall impose a limitation on the number of Shares which may be included in the registration statement because, in such underwriter(s)’ reasonable judgment, such limitation is necessary for marketing purposes or to effect an orderly public distribution, then the Company shall be obligated to include in such registration statement only such limited portion of the Shares, if any, with respect to which such Holder has requested inclusion hereunder and the managing underwriter(s) has approved. Any exclusion of Shares shall be made pro rata among the Holders seeking to include Shares and any other holders including securities in the registration statement, in proportion to the number of Shares sought to be included by such persons. Notwithstanding anything in this Agreement to the contrary, the registration rights contemplated by this section shall expire automatically 180 days following the consummation of an M&A Event (as defined in the Lockup Agreement between the Fund and the Company, dated as of the date hereof).

 

 

 

Removal of Legend . Not later than three (3) trading days after request from the Holders (the “Share Delivery Date”) on or after the date that the Shares have been sold by the Holders pursuant to Rule 144 (“Rule 144”) promulgated under the Securities Act, or a currently effective registration statement, the Company shall issue to the Holders Shares that are free of restrictive legends and trading restrictions (other than those which may then be required by law or separate agreement between the Company and the Holders). Such Shares will be delivered electronically through the Depository Trust Company or another established clearing corporation performing similar functions.

 

If the Company fails for any reason to deliver to the Holders the Shares as described above, the Company shall pay to the Holders, in cash, as liquidated damages and not as a penalty, for each $1,000 of Share value (calculated based upon closing price of the Common Stock on the date of notice from the Holders and the number of Shares for which the legend is requested to be removed), $10 per trading day (increasing to $20 per trading day on the fifth (5th) trading day after such liquidated damages begin to accrue) for each trading day following such Share Delivery Date until such Shares are delivered. Nothing herein shall limit the Holders’ right to pursue actual damages for the Company’s failure to deliver Shares without restrictive legends and trading restrictions (other than those which may then be required by law or separate agreement between the Company and the Holders) within the period specified herein, and the Holders shall have the right to pursue all remedies available to them hereunder, at law or in equity including, without limitation, a decree of specific performance and/or injunctive relief. The exercise of any such rights shall not prohibit the Holders from seeking to enforce damages under applicable law.

 

Buy-in Obligation . In addition to such Holders’ other available remedies, if the Company fails to issue and deliver (or cause to be delivered) to a Holder by the Share Delivery Date a certificate representing the Shares so delivered to the Company by such Holder that is free from all restrictive and other legends and if after the Share Delivery Date such Holder is required by such Holder’s brokerage firm to purchase (in an open market transaction or otherwise), or the Holder’s brokerage firm otherwise purchases, shares of Common Stock to deliver in satisfaction of a sale by such Holder of all or any portion of the number of shares of Common Stock that such Holder anticipated receiving from the Company without any restrictive legend, then the Company shall pay in cash to the Holder an amount equal to the excess of such Holder’s total purchase price (including brokerage commissions and other out-of-pocket expenses, if any) for the shares of Common Stock so purchased (including brokerage commissions and other out-of-pocket expenses, if any) (the “Buy-In Price”) over the product of (A) such number of Shares that the Company was required to deliver to such Holder by the Share Delivery Date multiplied by (B) the actual sale price at which the sell order giving rise to such purchase obligation was executed (including any brokerage commissions).

 

Consent . The Holders acknowledge that the Company is party to (i) the Warrants, (ii) the 12% Senior Secured Convertible Note in the principal amount of $3,000,000 issued to the Fund on February 13, 2015 (the “Note”), (iii) the Securities Purchase Agreement, dated as of February 13, 2015, between the Fund and the Company (the “SPA”) and (iv) the Advisory Services Agreement, dated February 13, 2015, by and between the Company and Advisors (the “Advisory Agreement” and collectively with the Warrants, the Note and the SPA, the “Private Placement Documents”). Notwithstanding anything else in the Private Placement Documents to the contrary, each of the Holders consents to the Company’s entry into this agreement and the fulfillment of the Company’s obligations hereunder and waives any claim of breach, violation or default or right to adjustment under the Private Placement Documents as a result of the Company’s entry into this agreement and the fulfillment of the Company’s obligations hereunder.

(b) In any insolvency or receivership proceeding or any other proceeding under any laws relating to the relief of debtors, readjustment of indebtedness, reorganizations, compositions or extensions which may be brought by or against Borrower and at any meeting of creditors of Borrower whether or not such meeting is held in a proceeding under any insolvency, bankruptcy or similar laws, the Lender shall retain the right to vote and otherwise act with respect to the Junior Indebtedness (including, without limitation, the right to vote to accept or reject any plan of partial or complete liquidation, reorganization, arrangement, composition or extension); provided that the Lender shall not vote with respect to any such plan or take any other action in any way so as to contest or challenge (i) the validity, enforceability, perfection, or priority of the Senior Debt, any liens or security interests securing payment thereof, or any collateral therefore or guaranties thereof, (ii) the relative rights and duties of Senior Lender established in any instruments or agreements creating or evidencing any of the Senior Debt with respect to any of such collateral or guaranties, or (iii) the Lender’s obligations and agreements set forth in Section 7 of this Note. In any of the foregoing proceedings, (w) Senior Lender shall first receive Payment in Full in cash of all Senior Debt (or have such payments duly provided for in a manner satisfactory to Senior Lender) before Lender is entitled to receive any payment on account of or accrued or incurred in connection with any Junior Indebtedness, (x) any payment or distribution of assets of Borrower of any kind or character, whether in cash, property or securities to which any Lender would be entitled except for the provisions of this Note shall be paid by Borrower, the liquidating trustee or agent or other person making such a payment or distribution, directly to Senior Lender, for application to the payment of all Senior Debt until such Senior Debt shall have been Paid in Full in cash, (y) in the event that, notwithstanding the foregoing, any payment or distribution of assets of Borrower of any kind or character, whether in cash, property or securities, shall be received by any Lender on account of, or accrued or incurred in connection with, any Junior Indebtedness before all Senior Debt is Paid in Full in cash, or effective provision (in a manner satisfactory to the Senior Lender) made for its payment, then such payment or distribution shall be segregated and received and held in trust for the benefit of and shall be promptly paid over to Senior Lender, for application to the payment of all Senior Debt until such Senior Debt shall have been Paid in Full in cash, and (z) Senior Lender shall be entitled to receive and collect any distributions, dividends or other payments upon the Junior Indebtedness by filing such claim, proof of debt or proof of claim as appropriate in the proceeding, in Senior Lender’s name, as applicable, or the Lender’s name and apply such distribution, dividends or other payments to the Senior Debt until all of the Senior Debt shall have been Paid in Full in cash, rendering to the Lender any surplus to which the Lender is then entitled. Senior Lender and its officers or employees designated by them for such purpose is hereby constituted and appointed attorney-in-fact for the Lender with full power (which power, being coupled with an interest, shall be irrevocable so long as this Note is in effect) to file any claim, proof of debt or proof of claim in any such proceeding.

(c) The provisions of this Section 7 shall continue in full force and effect notwithstanding (i) the commencement by Borrower of a voluntary case under any applicable bankruptcy, insolvency or other similar law now or hereafter in effect, (ii) Borrower’s consent to the entry of an order for relief in an insolvency case under any such law, or consent to the appointment of or taking possession by a receiver, liquidator, assignee, trustee, custodian, sequestrator (or other similar official) of Borrower or for any substantial part of its property, (iii) the making by Borrower of a general assignment for the benefit of creditors, (iv) Borrower’s failure generally to pay its debts as they become due, or (v) the institution of a proceeding having jurisdiction in the premises seeking a decree or order for relief in respect of Borrower in an involuntary case under any applicable bankruptcy, insolvency or other similar law now or hereafter in effect, or for the appointment of a receiver, liquidator, assignee, custodian, trustee, sequestrator (or other similar official) of Borrower or for any substantial part of its property, or for the winding-up or liquidation of its affairs.

 

(d) Should any payment, distribution or security or proceeds be received by the Lender upon or with respect to the Junior Indebtedness prior to the Payment in Full of the Senior Debt, the Lender shall immediately deliver same to Senior Lender in the form received or, with the agreement of Senior Lender, in good funds (except for endorsement or assignment by the Lender where required by Senior Lender), for application on the Senior Debt (whether or not then due and in such order of maturity as Senior Lender elects) and, until so delivered, the same shall be held in trust by the Lender as the property of Senior Lender.

 

(e) Subject to the Payment In Full of the Senior Debt, the Lender shall be subrogated to the extent of the payments or distributions made to Senior Lender pursuant to the provisions of this Section 7 to the rights of Senior Lender to receive payments or distributions of cash, property or securities applicable to the Senior Debt until the principal, and all accrued unpaid interest hereon shall be Paid In Full.

 

(f) The provisions of this Section 7 are and are intended solely for the purpose of defining the relative rights of the Lender, on the one hand, and Senior Lender, on the other hand. All payments due under this Note, subject to the rights under this Section 7 of Senior Lender, are intended to rank equally with all other general obligations of Borrower and nothing hereunder is intended to or shall affect the relative rights against Borrower of the Lender and creditors of Borrower other than Senior Lender.

(g) No right of Senior Lender to enforce subordination as herein provided shall at any time in any way be prejudiced or impaired by any act or failure to act on the part of Borrower or by any act or failure to act, in good faith, by Senior Lender, or by any noncompliance by Borrower with the terms, provisions and covenants of this Note, regardless of any knowledge thereof any Senior Lender may have or be otherwise charged with. Without in any way limiting the generality of the foregoing paragraph, Senior Lender may, at any time and from time to time, without the consent of or notice to the Lender, without incurring responsibility to the Lender and without impairing or releasing the subordination provided in this Section 7 or the obligations hereunder of the Lender to Senior Lender, do any one or more of the following: (i) change the manner, place or terms of payment or extend the time of payment of, or alter the Senior Debt, or otherwise amend or supplement in any manner the Senior Debt or any instrument evidencing the same or any agreement under which the Senior Debt is outstanding; (ii) release any person liable in any manner for the collection of the Senior Debt; and (iii) exercise or refrain from exercising any rights against Borrower and any other person; provided , however , that Borrower shall not agree to or enter into any amendment or other modification of the Senior Notes or Transaction Documents (as defined therein) which expressly impose any additional or more restrictive conditions on the ability of the Borrower to pay any and all required principal and interest payments when due under this Note other than the restrictions set forth herein (it being agreed that Borrower and Senior Lender shall not be prohibited from agreeing to additions or changes to the covenants and events of defaults in the Senior Notes or Transaction Documents that may cause the covenants or events of default therein to otherwise be more restrictive to Borrower). The Lender waives any and all notices (except notices specifically provided for herein) of the creation or modification of the Senior Debt and notice of or proof of reliance by Senior Lender, upon the subordination provided for herein. The Senior Debt shall conclusively be deemed to have been created, contracted or incurred in reliance upon the provisions of this Note. Until the Senior Debt shall have been Paid in Full, the Note And Security Agreement shall not be amended without Senior Lender’s prior written consent.

 

(h) All rights, interests, agreements and obligations of Senior Lender and the Lender hereunder shall remain in full force and effect irrespective of:

 

(i) any lack of validity or enforceability in part, or in whole, of any document or agreement executed in connection with the Senior Debt or this Note;

 

(ii) any change in the time, manner or place of payment of, or in any other terms of, all or any of the Senior Debt, or any amendment or waiver or other modification, including, without limitation, any increase in the amount thereof, whether by course of conduct or otherwise, of the Senior Debt;

 

(iii) the commencement of any proceeding; or

 

(iv) any other circumstances which otherwise might constitute a defense available to, or a discharge of, Borrower or any other obligor in respect of the Senior Debt, or of the Lender in respect of this Note.

 

(i) Third Party Beneficiary . It is specifically understood and agreed that Senior Lender is a third party beneficiary of Section 7 of this Note, and the provisions of this Section 7 are also for the benefit of and enforceable by Senior Lender.

 

(j) Security Agreement . This Note is unsecured prior to the satisfaction of the Security Agreement Conditions. Upon satisfaction of the Security Agreement Conditions, then that certain Security Agreement, dated as of the date hereof (but not effective until the Effective Date (as defined therein)) (the “ Security Agreement ”), shall become effective and Borrower shall execute such other documents as are necessary to secure the outstanding advances under this Note with substantially all of Borrower’s assets.

Upon each such sale, lease, assignment or other transfer of Collateral, the Secured Party may, unless prohibited by applicable law which cannot be waived, purchase all or any part of the Collateral being sold, free from and discharged of all trusts, claims, right of redemption and equities of Debtor, which are hereby waived and released.

 

(iv) The Secured Party shall have the right (but not the obligation) to notify any account debtors and any obligors under instruments or accounts to make payments directly to the Secured Party and to enforce the Debtor’s rights against such account debtors and obligors.

 

(v) [Reserved.]

If, upon the sale, license or other disposition of the Collateral, the proceeds thereof are insufficient to pay all amounts to which the Secured Party is legally entitled, the Debtor will be liable for the deficiency, together with interest thereon, at the rate of 18% per annum or the lesser amount permitted by applicable law (the “ Default Rate ”), and the reasonable fees of any attorneys employed by the Secured Party to collect such deficiency. To the extent permitted by applicable law, Debtor waives all claims, damages and demands against the Secured Party arising out of the repossession, removal, retention or sale of the Collateral, unless due solely to the gross negligence or willful misconduct of the Secured Party as determined by a final judgment (not subject to further appeal) of a court of competent jurisdiction.

10. Securities Law Provision. Debtor recognizes that Secured Party may be limited in its ability to effect a sale to the public of all or part of the Pledged Securities by reason of certain prohibitions in the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, or other federal or state securities laws (collectively, the “ Securities Laws ”), and may be compelled to resort to one or more sales to a restricted group of purchasers who may be required to agree to acquire the Pledged Securities for their own account, for investment and not with a view to the distribution or resale thereof. Debtor agrees that sales so made may be at prices and on terms less favorable than if the Pledged Securities were sold to the public, and that Secured Party has no obligation to delay the sale of any Pledged Securities for the period of time necessary to register the Pledged Securities for sale to the public under the Securities Laws. Debtor shall cooperate with Secured Party in its attempt to satisfy any requirements under the Securities Laws (including, without limitation, registration thereunder if requested by Secured Party) applicable to the sale of the Pledged Securities by Secured Party.

 

11. Costs and Expenses. The Debtor shall pay all other claims and charges which in the reasonable opinion of the Secured Party is reasonably likely to prejudice, imperil or otherwise affect the Collateral or the Security Interests therein. The Debtor will also, upon demand, pay to the Secured Party the amount of any and all reasonable expenses, including the reasonable fees and expenses of its counsel and of any experts and agents, which the Secured Party may incur in connection with the protection, satisfaction, foreclosure, collection or enforcement of the Security Interest and the administration, continuance, amendment or enforcement of this Agreement and pay to the Secured Party the amount of any and all reasonable expenses, including the reasonable fees and expenses of its counsel and of any experts and agents, which the Secured Party may incur in connection with (i) the enforcement of this Agreement, (ii) the custody or preservation of, or the sale of, collection from, or other realization upon, any of the Collateral, or (iii) the exercise or enforcement of any of the rights of the Secured Party under the Note.

12. Responsibility for Collateral. The Debtor assume all liabilities and responsibility in connection with all Collateral, and the Obligations shall in no way be affected or diminished by reason of the loss, destruction, damage or theft of any of the Collateral or its unavailability for any reason.

The Secured Party shall not have any obligation or liability under any such contract or agreement by reason of or arising out of this Agreement or the receipt by the Secured Party of any payment relating to any of the Collateral, nor shall the Secured Party be obligated in any manner to perform any of the obligations of Debtor under or pursuant to any such contract or agreement, to make inquiry as to the nature or sufficiency of any payment received by the Secured Party in respect of the Collateral or as to the sufficiency of any performance by any party under any such contract or agreement, to present or file any claim, to take any action to enforce any performance or to collect the payment of any amounts which may have been assigned to the Secured Party or to which the Secured Party may be entitled at any time or times.

13. Security Interests Absolute. All rights of the Secured Party and all obligations of the Debtor hereunder, shall be absolute and unconditional, irrespective of: (a) any lack of validity or enforceability of this Agreement, the Note or any agreement entered into in connection with the foregoing, or any portion hereof or thereof; (b) any change in the time, manner or place of payment or performance of, or in any other term of, all or any of the Obligations, or any other amendment or waiver of or any consent to any departure from the Note or any other agreement entered into in connection with the foregoing; (c) any exchange, release or non-perfection of any of the Collateral, or any release or amendment or waiver of or consent to departure from any other collateral for, or any guarantee, or any other security, for all or any of the Obligations; (d) any action by the Secured Party to obtain, adjust, settle and cancel in its sole discretion any insurance claims or matters made or arising in connection with the Collateral; or (e) any other circumstance which might otherwise constitute any legal or equitable defense available to Debtor, or a discharge of all or any part of the Security Interests granted hereby. Until the Obligations shall have been paid and performed in full, the rights of the Secured Party shall continue even if the Obligations are barred for any reason, including, without limitation, the running of the statute of limitations or bankruptcy. Debtor expressly waives presentment, protest, notice of protest, demand, notice of nonpayment and demand for performance. In the event that at any time any transfer of any Collateral or any payment received by the Secured Party hereunder shall be deemed by final order of a court of competent jurisdiction to have been a voidable preference or fraudulent conveyance under the bankruptcy or insolvency laws of the United States, or shall be deemed to be otherwise due to any party other than the Secured Party, then, in any such event, Debtor’s obligations hereunder shall survive cancellation of this Agreement, and shall not be discharged or satisfied by any prior payment thereof and/or cancellation of this Agreement, but shall remain a valid and binding obligation enforceable in accordance with the terms and provisions hereof. Debtor waives all right to require the Secured Party to proceed against any other person or entity or to apply any Collateral which the Secured Party may hold at any time, or to marshal assets, or to pursue any other remedy. Debtor waives any defense arising by reason of the application of the statute of limitations to any obligation secured hereby.

 

14. Term of Agreement. This Agreement and the Security Interests shall terminate on the date on which all payments under the Note have been indefeasibly paid in full and all other Obligations have been paid or discharged; provided , however , that all indemnities of the Debtor contained in this Agreement shall survive and remain operative and in full force and effect regardless of the termination of this Agreement.

Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, after the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default, each Secured Party is specifically authorized to execute and file any applications for or instruments of transfer and assignment of any patents, trademarks, copyrights or other Intellectual Property with the United States Patent and Trademark Office and the United States Copyright Office.

 

(b) On a continuing basis, Debtor will take all such action as may reasonably be deemed necessary or advisable, or as reasonably requested by the Secured Party, to perfect the Security Interests granted hereunder and otherwise to carry out the intent and purposes of this Agreement, or for assuring and confirming to the Secured Party the grant or perfection of a perfected security interest in all the Collateral under the UCC.

 

16. Notices. All notices, requests, demands and other communications hereunder shall be subject to the notice provision of the Note.

 

17. Other Security. To the extent that the Obligations are now or hereafter secured by property other than the Collateral or by the guarantee, endorsement or property of any other person, firm, corporation or other entity, then the Secured Party shall have the right, in its sole discretion, to pursue, relinquish, subordinate, modify or take any other action with respect thereto, without in any way modifying or affecting any of the Secured Party’s rights and remedies hereunder.

 

18. [Reserved].

 

19. Miscellaneous.

 

(a) No course of dealing between the Debtor and the Secured Party, nor any failure to exercise, nor any delay in exercising, on the part of the Secured Party, any right, power or privilege hereunder or under the Note shall operate as a waiver thereof; nor shall any single or partial exercise of any right, power or privilege hereunder or thereunder preclude any other or further exercise thereof or the exercise of any other right, power or privilege.

 

(b) All of the rights and remedies of the Secured Party with respect to the Collateral, whether established hereby or by the Note or by any other agreements, instruments or documents or by law shall be cumulative and may be exercised singly or concurrently.

(c) This Agreement, together with the exhibits and schedules hereto, contain the entire understanding of the parties with respect to the subject matter hereof and supersede all prior agreements and understandings, oral or written, with respect to such matters, which the parties acknowledge have been merged into this Agreement and the exhibits and schedules hereto. No provision of this Agreement may be waived, modified, supplemented or amended except in a written instrument signed, in the case of an amendment, by the Debtor and the Secured Party (or, in the event that the Secured Party no longer holds any Note, in a written instrument signed by the Debtor and the Majority in Interest), or, in the case of a waiver, by the party against whom enforcement of any such waived provision is sought. Notwithstanding the foregoing, until the Senior Debt (as defined in the Note) shall have been Paid in Full (as defined in the Note), this Agreement shall not be amended without Senior Lender’s prior written consent.

 

(d) 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.

 

(e) No waiver of any default with respect to any provision, condition or requirement of this Agreement shall be deemed to be a continuing waiver in the future or a waiver of any subsequent default or a waiver of any other provision, condition or requirement hereof, nor shall any delay or omission of any party to exercise any right hereunder in any manner impair the exercise of any such right.

 

(f) This Agreement shall be binding upon and inure to the benefit of the parties and their successors and permitted assigns. The Company may not assign this Agreement or any rights or obligations hereunder without the prior written consent of each Secured Party (other than by merger). Any Secured Party may assign any or all of its rights under this Agreement to any Person to whom such Secured Party assigns or transfers any Obligations, provided such transferee agrees in writing to be bound, with respect to the transferred Obligations, by the provisions of this Agreement that apply to the “Secured Party.”

 

(g) Each party shall take such further action and execute and deliver such further documents as may be necessary or appropriate in order to carry out the provisions and purposes of this Agreement.

 

(h) Except to the extent mandatorily governed by the jurisdiction or situs where the Collateral is located, all questions concerning the construction, validity, enforcement and interpretation of this Agreement shall be governed by and construed and enforced in accordance with the internal laws of the State of New York, without regard to the principles of conflicts of law thereof. Except to the extent mandatorily governed by the jurisdiction or situs where the Collateral is located, each party hereto agrees that all proceedings concerning the interpretations, enforcement and defense of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement and the Note (whether brought against a party hereto or its respective affiliates, directors, officers, shareholders, partners, members, employees or Secured agents) shall be commenced exclusively in the state and federal courts sitting in the City of New York, Borough of Manhattan. Except to the extent mandatorily governed by the jurisdiction or situs where the Collateral is located, each party hereto hereby irrevocably submits to the exclusive jurisdiction of the state and federal courts sitting in the City of New York, Borough of Manhattan for the adjudication of any dispute hereunder or in connection herewith or with any transaction contemplated hereby or discussed herein, and hereby irrevocably waives, and agrees not to assert in any proceeding, any claim that it is not personally subject to the jurisdiction of any such court, that such proceeding is improper. Each party hereto hereby irrevocably waives personal service of process and consents to process being served in any such 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. Nothing contained herein shall be deemed to limit in any way any right to serve process in any manner permitted by law. Each party hereto hereby irrevocably waives, to the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, any and all right to trial by jury in any legal proceeding arising out of or relating to this Agreement or the transactions contemplated hereby.

(i) This Agreement may be executed in any number of counterparts, each of which when so executed shall be deemed to be an original and, all of which taken together shall constitute one and the same Agreement. In the event that any signature is delivered by facsimile transmission, such signature shall create a valid binding obligation of the party executing (or on whose behalf such signature is executed) the same with the same force and effect as if such facsimile signature were the original thereof.

 

(j) [Reserved.]

 

(k) Debtor shall indemnify, reimburse and hold harmless the Secured Party and their respective partners, members, shareholders, officers, directors, employees and Secured agents (and any other persons with other titles that have similar functions) (collectively, “ Indemnitees ”) from and against any and all losses, claims, liabilities, damages, penalties, suits, costs and expenses, of any kind or nature, (including fees relating to the cost of investigating and defending any of the foregoing) imposed on, incurred by or asserted against such Indemnitee in any way related to or arising from or alleged to arise from this Agreement or the Collateral, except any such losses, claims, liabilities, damages, penalties, suits, costs and expenses which result solely from the gross negligence or willful misconduct of the Indemnitee as determined by a final, nonappealable decision of a court of competent jurisdiction. This indemnification provision is in addition to, and not in limitation of, any other indemnification provision in the Note or any other agreement, instrument or other document executed or delivered in connection herewith or therewith.

 

(l) Nothing in this Agreement shall be construed to subject Secured Party to liability as a partner in Debtor or any if its direct or indirect subsidiaries that is a partnership or as a member in Debtor or any of its direct or indirect subsidiaries that is a limited liability company, nor shall Secured Party be deemed to have assumed any obligations under any partnership agreement or limited liability company agreement, as applicable, of Debtor or any of its direct or indirect subsidiaries or otherwise, unless and until any such Secured Party exercises its right to be substituted for Debtor as a partner or member, as applicable, pursuant hereto.

 

(m) To the extent that the grant of the security interest in the Collateral and the enforcement of the terms hereof require the consent, approval or action of any partner or member, as applicable, of Debtor or any direct or indirect subsidiary of Debtor or compliance with any provisions of any of the Organizational Documents, the Debtor hereby grants such consent and approval and waive any such noncompliance with the terms of said documents.

 

(n) The parties hereto recognize that the Effective Date is subject to the satisfaction of the Security Agreement Conditions.
