Item 1.01 Entry into a Material Definitive Agreement.
On October 15, 2019, C-Bond Systems, Inc. (the “Company” or “C-Bond”) entered into an equity financing with an accredited investor (the “Investor”) for up to $800,000. On October 15, 2019, the Company entered into a securities purchase agreement (the “Purchase Agreement”) with the Investor, whereby the Investor purchased ninety-six thousand (96,000) shares of Series A Convertible Preferred Stock with a Stated Value of $1.00 (the “Stated Value”) of the Company (the “Series A Convertible Preferred Stock”), for a purchase price of $80,000 (the “Purchase Price”). The transaction closed on October 21, 2019, and the Company received net proceeds of $80,000 less transaction expenses.
The Certificate of Designations, Preferences, Rights, and Limitations of Series A Convertible Preferred Stock (“Certificate of Designations”) provides that the Series A Convertible Preferred Stock shall have no right to vote on any matters on which the common shareholders are permitted to vote. The Series A Convertible Preferred Stock ranks senior with respect to dividends and right of liquidation to the Company’s common stock, par value 0.001 per share (“Common Stock”), and junior with respect to dividends and right of liquidation to all existing and future indebtedness of the Company and existing and outstanding preferred stock of the Company.
The SPA contains customary representations, warranties, including that the Company has filed all reports and other documents required to be filed by it with the SEC pursuant to the reporting requirements of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “1934 Act”). The Certificate of Designations also provides for certain events of default, including, among other things, failure to redeem, breaches of representations and warranties, bankruptcy or insolvency proceedings, and failure to comply with the 1934 Act.
On October 17, 2019, the Company entered into a Subscription Agreement (the “Subscription Agreement”) with an accredited investor (“Investor II”) whereby Investor II agreed to purchase 2,000,000 unregistered shares (the “Investor Shares”) of the Company’s Common Stock for $100,000, or $0.05 per share (the “Subscription Amount”). On October 21, 2019, the Company received the Subscription Amount. The Investor Shares were not registered under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”), or the securities laws of any state, and were offered and sold in reliance on the exemption from registration under the Securities Act provided by Section 4(a)(2) and Regulation D (Rule 506) under the Securities Act. The Investor represented that it was an accredited investor (as defined by Rule 501 under the Securities Act) at the time of the Subscription Agreement.
The discussion herein regarding the SPA, Series A Convertible Preferred Stock, and Subscription Agreement is qualified in its entirety by reference to the SPA, Certificate of Designations, and Subscription Agreement attached hereto as Exhibits 10.1, 3.1, and 10.2, respectively.

Section 1. Designation and Amount. The number of shares so designated as Series A Preferred Stock is 800,000 which will not be subject to increase without the consent of the holders (each a “Holder” and collectively, the “Holders”) of a majority of the outstanding shares of Series A Preferred Stock.

Upon the occurrence of an Event of Default (as defined herein), the Dividend Rate shall automatically increase to twenty two percent (22%).
Section 4. Protective Provision.
A. So long as any shares of Series A Preferred Stock are outstanding, the Company will not, without the affirmative approval of the Majority Holders (i) alter or change adversely the powers, preferences or rights given to the Series A Preferred Stock or alter or amend this Certificate of Designations, (ii) except for the Control Preferred Stock, authorize or create any class of stock ranking as to distribution of dividends or a liquidation preference senior to the Series A Preferred Stock, (iii) amend its Articles of Incorporation, as amended, or other charter documents in breach of any of the provisions hereof, (iv) increase the authorized number of shares of Series A Preferred Stock, (v) liquidate, dissolve or wind-up the business and affairs of the Company, or effect any Deemed Liquidation Event (as defined below), (vi) breach any of the provisions set forth herein; or (vii) enter into any binding agreement with respect to any of the foregoing.
B. A “Deemed Liquidation Event” means: (a) a merger or consolidation in which the Company is a constituent party or a subsidiary of the Company is a constituent party and the Company issues shares of its capital stock pursuant to such merger or consolidation, except any such merger or consolidation involving the Company or a subsidiary in which the shares of capital stock of the Company outstanding immediately prior to such merger or consolidation continue to represent, or are converted into or exchanged for shares of capital stock that represent, immediately following such merger or consolidation, at least a majority, by voting power, of the capital stock of the surviving or resulting corporation or, if the surviving or resulting corporation is a wholly owned subsidiary of another corporation immediately following such merger or consolidation, the parent corporation of such surviving or resulting corporation; or (b) the sale, lease, transfer, exclusive license or other disposition, in a single transaction or series of related transactions, by the Company or any subsidiary of the Company of all or substantially all the assets of the Company and its subsidiaries taken as a whole, or the sale or disposition (whether by merger or otherwise) of one or more subsidiaries of the Company if substantially all of the assets of the Company and its subsidiaries taken as a whole are held by such subsidiary or subsidiaries, except where such sale, lease, transfer, exclusive license or other disposition is to a wholly owned subsidiary of the Company.
2
C. The Company shall not have the power to effect a Deemed Liquidation Event unless the agreement or plan of merger or consolidation for such transaction provides that the consideration payable to the stockholders of the Company will be allocated among the holders of capital stock of the Company in accordance hereof.
Section 5. Liquidation.
A. Upon any liquidation, dissolution or winding up of the Company, whether voluntary or involuntary, or upon any Deemed Liquidation Event, after payment or provision for payment of debts and other liabilities of the Company, and after payment or provision for any liquidation preference payable to the holders of any Preferred Stock ranking senior upon liquidation to the Series A Preferred Stock, if any, but prior to any distribution or payment made to the holders of Common Stock or the holders of any Preferred Stock ranking junior upon liquidation to the Series A Preferred Stock by reason of their ownership thereof, the Holders will be entitled to be paid out of the assets of the Company available for distribution to its stockholders an amount with respect to each share of Series A Preferred Stock equal to (i) the Stated Value plus (ii) any accrued but unpaid dividends, the Default Adjustment (as defined herein), if applicable, Failure to Deliver Fees (as defined herein), if any, and any other fees as set forth herein (the amounts in this clause (ii) collectively, the “Adjustment Amount”)

Section 6. Redemption.
A. Company’s Redemption Option. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, at any time during the periods set forth on the table immediately following this paragraph (the “Redemption Periods”) provided that an Event of Default has not occurred, the Company will have the right, at the Company’s option, to redeem all or any portion of the shares of Series A Preferred Stock, exercisable on not more than three (3) Trading Days (as defined herein) prior written notice to the Holders, in full, in accordance with this Section 6. Any notice of redemption hereunder (an “Optional Redemption Notice”) shall be delivered to each Holder at its registered addresses and shall state: (1) that the Company is exercising its right to redeem the Series A Preferred Stock, and (2) the date of redemption which shall be not more than three (3) Trading Days (as defined herein) from the date of the Optional Redemption Notice. On the date fixed for redemption (the “Optional Redemption Date”), the Company shall make payment of the Optional Redemption Amount (as defined herein) to the applicable Holder. If the Company exercises its right to redeem the Series A Preferred Stock, the Company shall make payment to the applicable Holder(s) of an amount in cash equal to the percentage (“Redemption Percentage”) as set forth in the table immediately following this paragraph opposite the applicable Redemption Period, multiplied by the sum of an amount equal to (i) the total number of Series A Preferred Stock held by the applicable Holder multiplied by (ii) the Stated Value plus the Adjustment Amount, (the “Optional Redemption Amount”). If the Company delivers an Optional Redemption Notice and fails to pay the Optional Redemption Amount due to the applicable Holder within two (2) business days following the Optional Redemption Date, the Company shall forever forfeit its right to redeem the Series A Preferred Stock pursuant to this Section 6.

For the avoidance of doubt, any reference hereto to the “Issuance Date” shall mean the date of the issuance of the applicable share(s) of Series A Preferred Stock, and any calculations or determinations hereunder shall apply to the share(s) of Series A Preferred Stock based on the Issuance Date of such share(s) of Series A Preferred Stock.
B. Company’s Mandatory Redemption.

With five (5) days of the Mandatory Redemption Date, the Company shall make payment to each Holder of an amount in cash equal to (i) the total number of Series A Preferred Stock held by such Holder multiplied by (ii) the Stated Value plus the Adjustment Amount (the “Mandatory Redemption Amount”).

Section 7. Conversion.
A. Conversion Right. The Holder shall have the right from time to time, and at any time during the period beginning on the date which is one hundred eighty (180) days following the Issuance Date, to convert all or any part of the outstanding Series A Preferred Stock into fully paid and non-assessable shares of Common Stock, as such Common Stock exists on the Issuance Date, or any shares of capital stock or other securities of the Company into which such Common Stock shall hereafter be changed or reclassified at the conversion price determined as provided herein (a “Conversion”); provided, however, that in no event shall any Holder be entitled to convert any portion of the Series A Preferred Stock in excess of that number of Series A Preferred Stock that upon conversion of which the sum of (1) the number of shares of Common Stock beneficially owned by such Holder and its affiliates (other than shares of Common Stock which may be deemed beneficially owned through the ownership of the unconverted portion of the Series A Preferred Stock or the unexercised or unconverted portion of any other security of the Company subject to a limitation on conversion or exercise analogous to the limitations contained herein) and (2) the number of shares of Common Stock issuable upon the conversion of the portion of the Series A Preferred Stock with respect to which the determination of this proviso is being made, would result in beneficial ownership by the Holder and its affiliates of more than 4.99% of the outstanding shares of Common Stock. For purposes of the proviso to the immediately preceding sentence, beneficial ownership shall be determined in accordance with Section 13(d) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”), and Regulations 13D-G thereunder, except as otherwise provided in clause (1) of such proviso. The beneficial ownership limitations on conversion as set forth in the section may NOT be waived by the Holder. The number of shares of Common Stock to be issued upon each conversion of Series A Preferred Stock shall be determined by dividing the Conversion Amount (as defined herein) by the applicable Conversion Price (as defined herein) then in effect on the date specified in the notice of conversion (the “Notice of Conversion”), attached hereto as Exhibit A, delivered to the Company by a Holder in accordance with the terms hereof; provided that the Notice of Conversion is submitted by facsimile or e-mail (or by other means resulting in, or reasonably expected to result in, notice) to the Company before 6:00 p.m., New York, New York time on such conversion date (the “Conversion Date”); however, if the Notice of Conversion is sent after 6:00 p.m., New York, New York time the Conversion Date shall be the next business day. The term “Conversion Amount” means, with respect to any conversion of shares of the Series A Preferred Stock, the sum of the Stated Value plus the Adjustment Amount with respect to the shares of Series A Preferred Stock being converted in such conversion.
B. Conversion Price. The conversion price (the “Conversion Price”) shall equal the Variable Conversion Price (as defined herein) (subject to equitable adjustments by the Company relating to the Company’s securities or the securities of any subsidiary of the Company, combinations, recapitalization, reclassifications, extraordinary distributions and similar events). The “Variable Conversion Price” shall mean 81% multiplied by the Market Price (as defined herein) (representing a discount rate of 19%). “Market Price” means the average of the two (2) lowest Trading Prices (as defined here) for the Common Stock during the ten (10) Trading Day period ending on the latest complete Trading Day prior to the Conversion Date. “Trading Price” means, for any security as of any date, the closing bid price on the OTCQB, OTCQX, Pink Sheets electronic quotation system or applicable trading market (the “OTC”) as reported by a reliable reporting service (“Reporting Service”) designated by the Holder (i.e. Bloomberg). “Trading Day” shall mean any day on which the Common Stock is tradable for any period on the OTC, or on the principal securities exchange or other securities market on which the Common Stock is then being traded. Notwithstanding any reference above or elsewhere herein to any certificates representing the Series A Preferred Stock, the Company expects that the Series A Preferred Stock shall be recorded solely in book entry form, and in such case any references hereto to certificates representing the Series A Preferred Stock being required to be delivered or provided in certain instances shall be deemed automatically waived, and such book entry records shall take the place thereof.
5
C. Authorized Shares. The Company covenants that during the period the conversion right exists, the Company will reserve from its authorized and unissued Common Stock a sufficient number of shares, free from preemptive rights, to provide for the issuance of Common Stock upon the full conversion of this Series A Preferred Stock issued. The Company is required at all times to have authorized and reserved six times the number of shares that would be issuable upon full conversion of the Series A Preferred Stock (assuming that the 4.99% limitation set forth in herein is not in effect) (based on the respective Conversion Price of the Series A Preferred Stock in effect from time to time) (the “Reserved Amount”). The Reserved Amount shall be increased (or decreased unilaterally by the Holder) from time to time in accordance with the Company’s obligations hereunder. The Company represents that upon issuance, such shares will be duly and validly issued, fully paid and non-assessable. In addition, if the Company shall issue any securities or make any change to its capital structure which would change the number of shares of Common Stock into which the Series A Preferred Stock shall be convertible at the then current Conversion Price, the Company shall at the same time make proper provision so that thereafter there shall be a sufficient number of shares of Common Stock authorized and reserved, free from preemptive rights, for conversion of the outstanding Series A Preferred Stock. The Company (i) acknowledges that it has irrevocably instructed its transfer agent to issue certificates for the Common Stock issuable upon conversion of this Series A Preferred Stock, and (ii) agrees that its issuance of the Series A Preferred Stock shall constitute full authority to its officers and agents who are charged with the duty of executing stock certificates to execute and issue the necessary certificates for shares of Common Stock in accordance with the terms and conditions of the Purchase Agreement and the Series A Preferred Stock. If, at any time the Company does not maintain the required Reserved Amount, the Company shall be put on notice by the Holder, and shall have five (5) days to cure its deficiency, after which time, such failure will be deemed an Event of Default hereunder.
D. Method of Conversion.
i. Mechanics of Conversion. As set forth in hereof, the shares of Series A Preferred Stock may be converted by the Holder thereof, either as to all of such Holder’s shares of Series A Preferred Stock or as to a portion of such Holder’s shares of Series A Preferred Stock, at any time from time to time after one hundred eighty (180) days following the Issuance Date, by submitting to the Company a Notice of Conversion (by facsimile, e-mail or other reasonable means of communication dispatched on the Conversion Date prior to 6:00 p.m., New York, New York time) and within five (5) days following such conversion surrendering the converted Series A Preferred Stock to the Company’s transfer agent.
ii. Surrender of Series A Preferred Stock Upon Conversion. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary set forth herein, upon conversion of the Series A Preferred Stock in accordance with the terms hereof, the converting Holder shall be required to physically surrender the any certificate representing the Series A Preferred Stock being converted to the Company (or its transfer agent) and, in the event that less than all of the Series A Stock represented by such certificate is being converted, the Company shall return to the applicable Holder a new certificate representing the unconverted shares of Series A Preferred Stock.
6
iii. Delivery of Common Stock Upon Conversion. Upon receipt by the Company from a Holder of a facsimile transmission or e-mail (or other reasonable means of communication) of a Notice of Conversion meeting the requirements for conversion as set forth herein, and the certificate representing the Series A Preferred Stock as required herein, the Company shall issue and deliver or cause to be issued and delivered to or upon the order of the applicable Holder certificates for the Common Stock issuable upon such conversion, and any replacement certificate representing the unconverted shares of Series A Preferred Stock, if applicable, within two (2) business days after such receipt (the “Deadline”). Upon receipt by the Company of a Notice of Conversion, the applicable Holder shall be deemed to be the holder of record of the Common Stock issuable upon such conversion, the outstanding Series A Preferred Stock held by such applicable Holder shall be reduced to reflect such conversion, and, unless the Company defaults on its obligations hereunder, all rights with respect to the shares of Series A Preferred Stock being so converted shall forthwith terminate except the right to receive the Common Stock or other securities, cash or other assets, as herein provided, on such conversion. If the applicable Holder shall have given a Notice of Conversion as provided herein and comply with the other requirements herein, the Company’s obligation to issue and deliver the certificates for Common Stock shall be absolute and unconditional, irrespective of the absence of any action by the applicable Holder to enforce the same, any waiver or consent with respect to any provision thereof, the recovery of any judgment against any person or any action to enforce the same, any failure or delay in the enforcement of any other obligation of the Company to the holder of record, or any setoff, counterclaim, recoupment, limitation or termination, or any breach or alleged breach by the applicable Holder of any obligation to the Company, and irrespective of any other circumstance which might otherwise limit such obligation of the Company to the applicable Holder in connection with such conversion.
iv. Delivery of Common Stock by Electronic Transfer. In lieu of delivering physical certificates representing the Common Stock issuable upon conversion, provided the Company is participating in the Depository Trust Company (“DTC”) Fast Automated Securities Transfer program, upon request of the applicable Holder and its compliance with the provisions set forth herein, the Company shall use its best efforts to cause its transfer agent to electronically transmit the Common Stock issuable upon conversion to the applicable Holder by crediting the account of applicable Holder’s Prime Broker with DTC through its Deposit and Withdrawal at Custodian system.
v. Failure to Deliver Common Stock Prior to Deadline. Without in any way limiting a Holder’s right to pursue other remedies, including actual damages and/or equitable relief, the parties agree that if delivery of the Common Stock issuable upon conversion of the Series A Preferred Stock is not delivered by the Deadline due to action and/or inaction of the Company, the Company shall pay to the applicable Holder $2,000 per day in cash, for each day beyond the Deadline that the Company fails to deliver such Common Stock (the “Fail to Deliver Fee”); provided, however, that the Fail to Deliver Fee shall not be due if the failure is a result of a third party (i.e. transfer agent; and not the result of any failure to pay such transfer agent) despite the commercially reasonable efforts of the Company to effect delivery of such Common Stock. Such cash amount shall be paid to applicable Holder by the fifth (5th) day of the month following the month in which it has accrued. The Company agrees that the right to convert is a valuable right to the applicable Holder. The damages resulting from a failure, attempt to frustrate, interference with such conversion right are difficult if not impossible to qualify. Accordingly, the parties acknowledge that the damages provision contained in this section are justified and reasonable.
7
vi. Concerning the Shares. The shares of Common Stock issuable upon conversion of the Series A Preferred Stock may not be sold or transferred unless: (i) such shares are sold pursuant to an effective registration statement under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (together with the rules and regulations thereunder, the “Securities Act”) or (ii) the Company or its transfer agent shall have been furnished with an opinion of counsel (which opinion shall be in form, substance and scope customary for opinions of counsel in comparable transactions) to the effect that the shares to be sold or transferred may be sold or transferred pursuant to an exemption from such registration (such as Rule 144 or a successor rule) (“Rule 144”); or (iii) such shares are transferred to an “affiliate” (as defined in Rule 144) of the applicable Holder who agrees to sell or otherwise transfer the shares only in accordance with this section and who is an accredited investor (as defined in Rule 501 under Regulation D promulgated pursuant to the Securities Act). Any restrictive legend on certificates representing shares of Common Stock issuable upon conversion of the Series A Preferred Stock shall be removed and the Company shall issue to the applicable Holder a new certificate therefore free of any transfer legend if the Company or its transfer agent shall have received an opinion of counsel from applicable Holder’s counsel, in form, substance and scope customary for opinions of counsel in comparable transactions, to the effect that (i) a public sale or transfer of such Common Stock may be made without registration under the Securities Act, which opinion shall be accepted by the Company so that the sale or transfer is effected; or (ii) in the case of the Common Stock issuable upon conversion of the Series A Preferred Stock such security is registered for sale by the applicable Holder under an effective registration statement filed under the Securities Act; or otherwise may be sold pursuant to an exemption from registration. In the event that the Company does not reasonably accept the opinion of counsel provided by the applicable Holder with respect to the transfer of Securities pursuant to an exemption from registration (such as Rule 144), at the Deadline, it will be considered an Event of Default hereunder.
E. Effect of Certain Events.
i. Effect of Merger, Consolidation, Etc. At the option of the Majority Holders, the sale, conveyance or disposition of all or substantially all of the assets of the Company, the effectuation by the Company of a transaction or series of related transactions in which more than 50% of the voting power of the Company is disposed of, or the consolidation, merger or other business combination of the Company with or into any other Person (as defined herein) or Persons when the Company is not the survivor shall be deemed to be an Event of Default hereunder. “Person” shall mean any individual, corporation, limited liability company, partnership, association, trust or other entity or organization.
ii. Adjustment Due to Merger, Consolidation, Etc. If, at any time when the Series A Preferred Stock are outstanding and prior to conversion of all of the Series A Preferred Stock, there shall be any merger, consolidation, exchange of shares, recapitalization, reorganization, or other similar event, as a result of which shares of Common Stock of the Company shall be changed into the same or a different number of shares of another class or classes of stock or securities of the Company or another entity, or in case of any sale or conveyance of all or substantially all of the assets of the Company other than in connection with a plan of complete liquidation of the Company, then each Holder shall thereafter have the right to receive upon conversion of the Series A Preferred Stock, upon the basis and upon the terms and conditions specified herein and in lieu of the shares of Common Stock immediately theretofore issuable upon conversion, such stock, securities or assets which such Holder would have been entitled to receive in such transaction had the Series A Preferred Stock been converted in full immediately prior to such transaction (without regard to any limitations on conversion set forth herein), and in any such case appropriate provisions shall be made with respect to the rights and interests of the Holders to the end that the provisions hereof (including, without limitation, provisions for adjustment of the Conversion Price and of the number of shares issuable upon conversion of the Series A Preferred Stock) shall thereafter be applicable, as nearly as may be practicable in relation to any securities or assets thereafter deliverable upon the conversion hereof. The Company shall not affect any transaction described in this section unless (a) it first gives, to the extent practicable, ten (10) days’ prior written notice (but in any event at least five (5) days prior written notice) of the record date of the special meeting of shareholders to approve, or if there is no such record date, the consummation of, such merger, consolidation, exchange of shares, recapitalization, reorganization or other similar event or sale of assets (during which time a Holder shall be entitled to convert the Series A Preferred Stock, notwithstanding the 6 month limitation set forth in Section 7(A)) and (b) the resulting successor or acquiring entity (if not the Company) assumes by written instrument the rights, preferences afforded to the Holders hereunder and obligations set forth herein. The above provisions shall similarly apply to successive consolidations, mergers, sales, transfers or share exchanges.

iii. Adjustment Due to Distributions. If the Company shall declare or make any distribution of its assets (or rights to acquire its assets) to holders of Common Stock as a dividend, stock repurchase, by way of return of capital or otherwise (including any dividend or distribution to the Company’s shareholders in cash or shares (or rights to acquire shares) of capital stock of a subsidiary (i.e., a spin-off)) (a “Distribution”), then each Holder shall be entitled to receive the applicable portion of such Distribution on an as-converted-to-Common-Stock basis, assuming that the Series A Preferred Stock were converted to Common Stock on the day immediately prior to the record date for holders of the Common Stock entitled to receive such Distribution, but, for the avoidance of doubt, without any conversion to Common Stock actually being required.
F. Stock Register. The Company will keep at the offices of the transfer agent, a register of the Series A Preferred Stock, which shall be prima facie indicia of ownership of all outstanding shares of Series A Preferred Stock, and amounts so converted and the dates of such conversions. Upon the surrender of any certificate representing Series A Preferred Stock at such place, the Company, at the request of the record Holder of such certificate, will execute and deliver (at the Company’s expense) a new certificate or certificates in exchange therefor representing in the aggregate the number of shares represented by the surrendered certificate. Each such new certificate will be registered in such name and will represent such number of shares as is requested by the Holder of the surrendered certificate and will be substantially identical in form to the surrendered certificate.
G. Taxes. The Company shall pay any and all documentary, stamp, transfer (but only in respect of the registered Holder thereof), issuance and other similar taxes that may be payable with respect to the issuance and delivery of shares of Common Stock upon the conversion of Preferred Shares.

It is an obligation of the Company to remain current in its obligations to its transfer agent. It shall be an event of default hereunder, if a conversion of the Series A Preferred Stock is delayed, hindered or frustrated due to a balance owed by the Company to its transfer agent. If at the option of a Holder, such Holder advances any funds to the Company’s transfer agent in order to process a conversion, such advanced funds shall be paid by the Company to the applicable Holder within two (2) business days of a demand from the applicable Holder.

x. Cessation of Operations. Any cessation of operations by Company or Company admits it is otherwise generally unable to pay its debts as such debts become due; provided, however, that any disclosure of the Company’s ability to continue as a “going concern” shall not be an admission that the Company cannot pay its debts as they become due.

10
B. Failure or Indulgence Not Waiver. No failure or delay on the part of a Holder in the exercise of any power, right or privilege hereunder shall operate as a waiver thereof, nor shall any single or partial exercise of any such power, right or privilege preclude other or further exercise thereof or of any other right, power or privileges.

Exhibit 10.1
FORM OF SERIES A PREFERRED STOCK PURCHASE AGREEMENT
This SERIES A PREFERRED STOCK PURCHASE AGREEMENT (the “Agreement”), dated as of October 15, 2019, by and between C-BOND SYSTEMS, INC., a Colorado corporation, with its address at 6035 South Loop East, Houston, Texas 77033 (the “Company”), and [ ] (the “Buyer”).
WHEREAS:
A. The Company and the Buyer are executing and delivering this Agreement in reliance upon the exemption from securities registration afforded by the rules and regulations as promulgated by the United States Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “1933 Act”); and
B. Buyer desires to purchase and the Company desires to issue and sell, upon the terms and conditions set forth in this Agreement, 96,000 shares of Series A Preferred Stock of the Company (“Series A Shares”) with the rights and preferences as set forth on the Certificate of Designation of the Series A Preferred Stock attached hereto as Exhibit A (“Certificate of Designation”).
NOW THEREFORE, in consideration of the mutual covenants and agreements contained herein, the receipt and sufficiency of which are hereby acknowledged, the Company and the Buyer severally (and not jointly) hereby agree as follows:
1. Purchase and Sale of Series A Shares.
a. Purchase of Series A Shares. On the Closing Date (as defined below), the Company shall issue and sell to the Buyer and the Buyer agrees to purchase from the Company 96,000 Series A Shares with the rights and preferences as set forth in the Certificate of Designation.
b. Form of Payment. On the Closing Date (as defined below), (i) the Buyer shall pay $80,000.00 for the Series A Shares to be issued and sold to it at the Closing (as defined below) (the “Purchase Price”) by wire transfer of immediately available funds to the Company, in accordance with the Company’s written wiring instructions, against delivery of the Series A Shares, and (ii) the Company shall deliver such duly executed and authorized Series A Shares on behalf of the Company, to the Buyer, against delivery of such Purchase Price.
c. Closing Date. Subject to the satisfaction (or written waiver) of the conditions set forth in Section 6 and Section 7 below, the date and time of the issuance and sale of the Series A Shares pursuant to this Agreement (the “Closing Date”) shall be 12:00 noon, Eastern Standard Time on or about October 18, 2019, or such other mutually agreed upon time. The closing of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement (the “Closing”) shall occur on the Closing Date at such location as may be agreed to by the parties.
2. Buyer’s Representations and Warranties. The Buyer represents and warrants to the Company that:
a. The Buyer has full power and authority to enter into this Agreement, the execution and delivery of which has been duly authorized and this Agreement constitutes a valid and legally binding obligation of the Buyer, except as may be limited by bankruptcy, reorganization, insolvency, moratorium and similar laws of general application relating to or affecting the enforcement of rights of creditors, and except as enforceability of the obligations hereunder are subject to general principles of equity (regardless of whether such enforceability is considered in a proceeding in equity or law).
b. The Buyer acknowledges its understanding that the offering and sale of the Series A Shares and the shares of common stock issuable upon conversion of the Series A Shares (such shares of common stock being collectively referred to herein as the “Conversion Shares” and, collectively with the Series A Shares, the “Securities”) is intended to be exempt from registration under the 1933 Act, by virtue of Rule 506(b) promulgated under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, and the provisions of Regulation D promulgated thereunder. In furtherance thereof, the Buyer represents and warrants to the Company and its affiliates as follows:
i. The Buyer realizes that the basis for the exemption from registration may not be available if, notwithstanding the Buyer’s representations contained herein, the Buyer is merely acquiring the Securities for a fixed or determinable period in the future, or for a market rise, or for sale if the market does not rise. The Buyer does not have any such intention.
ii. The Buyer realizes that the basis for exemption would not be available if the offering is part of a plan or scheme to evade registration provisions of the 1933 Act or any applicable state or federal securities laws, except sales pursuant to a registration statement or sales that are exempted under the 1933 Act.
iii. The Buyer is acquiring the Securities solely for the Buyer’s own beneficial account, for investment purposes, and not with a view towards, or resale in connection with, any distribution of the Securities.
iv. The Buyer has the financial ability to bear the economic risk of the Buyer’s investment, has adequate means for providing for its current needs and contingencies, and has no need for liquidity with respect to an investment in the Company.
v. The Buyer and the Buyer’s attorney, accountant, purchaser representative and/or tax advisor, if any (collectively, the “Advisors”) has such knowledge and experience in financial and business matters as to be capable of evaluating the merits and risks of a prospective investment in the Securities. The Buyer also represents it has not been organized solely for the purpose of acquiring the Securities.
2
vii. The Buyer (together with its Advisors, if any) has received all documents requested by the Buyer, if any, and has carefully reviewed them and understands the information contained therein, prior to the execution of this Agreement.
c. The Buyer is not relying on the Company or any of its employees, agents, sub-agents or advisors with respect to the legal, tax, economic and related considerations involved in this investment. The Buyer has relied on the advice of, or has consulted with, only its Advisors.
d. The Buyer has carefully considered the potential risks relating to the Company and a purchase of the Securities, and fully understands that the Securities are a speculative investment that involves a high degree of risk of loss of the Buyer’s entire investment. Among other things, the Buyer has carefully considered each of the risks described under the heading “Risk Factors” in the Company’s SEC filings.
e. The Buyer will not sell or otherwise transfer any Securities without registration under the 1933 Act or an exemption therefrom, and fully understands and agrees that the Buyer must bear the economic risk of its purchase because, among other reasons, the Securities have not been registered under the 1933 Act or under the securities laws of any state and, therefore, cannot be resold, pledged, assigned or otherwise disposed of unless they are subsequently registered under the 1933 Act and under the applicable securities laws of such states, or an exemption from such registration is available. In particular, the Buyer is aware that the Securities are “restricted securities,” as such term is defined in Rule 144, and they may not be sold pursuant to Rule 144 unless all of the conditions of Rule 144 are met. The Buyer also understands that the Company is under no obligation to register the Securities on behalf of the Buyer. The Buyer understands that any sales or transfers of the Securities are further restricted by state securities laws and the provisions of this Agreement.
f. The Buyer and its Advisors, if any, have had a reasonable opportunity to ask questions of and receive answers from a person or persons acting on behalf of the Company concerning the offering and the business, financial condition, results of operations and prospects of the Company, and all such questions have been answered to the full satisfaction of the Buyer and its Advisors, if any.
g. The Buyer represents and warrants that: (i) the Buyer was contacted regarding the sale of the Securities by the Company (or an authorized agent or representative thereof) with whom the Buyer had a prior substantial pre-existing relationship; and (ii) no Securities were offered or sold to it by means of any form of general solicitation or general advertising, and in connection therewith, the Buyer did not: (A) receive or review any advertisement, article, notice or other communication published in a newspaper or magazine or similar media or broadcast over television or radio, whether closed circuit, or generally available; or (B) attend any seminar meeting or industry investor conference whose attendees were invited by any general solicitation or general advertising; or (C) observe any website or filing of the Company with the SEC in which any offering of securities by the Company was described and as a result learned of any offering of securities by the Company.
3
h. The Buyer has taken no action that would give rise to any claim by any person for brokerage commissions, finders’ fees or the like relating to this Agreement or the transactions contemplated hereby.
i. The Buyer is an “accredited investor” as that term is defined in Rule 501(a) of Regulation D.
j. Legends. The Buyer understands that until such time as the Securities have been registered under the 1933 Act or may be sold pursuant to an applicable exemption from registration, the Securities shall bear a restrictive legend in substantially the following form:
“THE SECURITIES REPRESENTED BY THIS INSTRUMENT HAVE NOT BEEN REGISTERED UNDER THE SECURITIES ACT OF 1933, AS AMENDED (THE “SECURITIES ACT”), OR UNDER ANY STATE SECURITIES LAWS, AND MAY NOT BE PLEDGED, SOLD, ASSIGNED, HYPOTHECATED OR OTHERWISE TRANSFERRED UNLESS (1) A REGISTRATION STATEMENT WITH RESPECT THERETO IS EFFECTIVE UNDER THE SECURITIES ACT AND ANY APPLICABLE STATE SECURITIES LAWS OR (2) THE ISSUER OF SUCH SECURITIES RECEIVES AN OPINION OF COUNSEL TO THE HOLDER OF SUCH SECURITIES, WHICH COUNSEL AND OPINION ARE REASONABLY ACCEPTABLE TO THE ISSUER’S TRANSFER AGENT, THAT SUCH SECURITIES MAY BE PLEDGED, SOLD, ASSIGNED, HYPOTHECATED OR OTHERWISE TRANSFERRED WITHOUT AN EFFECTIVE REGISTRATION STATEMENT UNDER THE SECURITIES ACT AND APPLICABLE STATE SECURITIES LAWS.”
The legend set forth above shall be removed and the Company shall issue a certificate without such legend to the holder of any Security upon which it is stamped, if, unless otherwise required by applicable state securities laws, (a) such Security is registered for sale under an effective registration statement filed under the 1933 Act or otherwise may be sold pursuant to an exemption from registration without any restriction as to the number of securities as of a particular date that can then be immediately sold, or (b) such holder provides the Company with an opinion of counsel, in form, substance and scope customary for opinions of counsel in comparable transactions, to the effect that a public sale or transfer of such Security may be made without registration under the 1933 Act, which opinion shall be accepted by the Company so that the sale or transfer is effected. The Buyer agrees to sell all Securities, including those represented by a certificate(s) from which the legend has been removed, in compliance with applicable prospectus delivery requirements, if any. In the event that the Company does not accept the opinion of counsel provided by the Buyer with respect to the transfer of Securities pursuant to an exemption from registration, such as Rule 144, at the Deadline (as defined in the Certificate of Designation), it will be considered an Event of Default (as defined in the Certificate of Designation).
4

The Company and each of its Subsidiaries (as defined below), if any, is a corporation duly organized, validly existing and in good standing under the laws of the jurisdiction in which it is incorporated, with full power and authority (corporate and other) to own, lease, use and operate its properties and to carry on its business as and where now owned, leased, used, operated and conducted. ”Subsidiaries” means any corporation or other organization, whether incorporated or unincorporated, in which the Company owns, directly or indirectly, any equity or other ownership interest.
