Item 1.01 Entry into a Material Definitive Agreement

 

Acquisition of TTM Digital Assets & Technologies, Inc.

 

On April 8, 2021, the Company, TTM Digital, and TTM Acquisition Corp., a Nevada corporation, a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company (“MergerSub”), entered into an Agreement and Plan of Merger (the “Merger Agreement”). Under the terms of the Merger Agreement, the parties agreed that at the Effective Time (defined below), the Company would acquire TTM Digital by way of a reverse triangular merger, subject to certain closing conditions (the “Merger”). On April 14, 2021 (the “Effective Time”), the closing conditions delineated in the Merger Agreement were satisfied and the Merger closed. At the Effective Time, the MergerSub was merged with and into TTM Digital with TTM Digital surviving the Merger. Under the terms of the Merger Agreement, the Shareholders of TTM Digital received a right to receive an aggregate of 124,218,268 shares of the Company’s common stock, $0.00001 par value per share (the “Merger Shares”) in exchange for their shares of TTM Digital. Simultaneously upon the issuance of the Merger Shares to the TTM Digital Shareholders, the Company was issued all of the authorized capital of TTM Digital and TTM Digital became a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company. The Merger resulted in a change of control, with the shareholders of TTM Digital receiving that number of Merger Shares equal to not less than eighty percent (80%) of the outstanding shares of capital stock of the Company. As a result of the Merger, the Company now has two wholly-owned subsidiaries: TTM Digital and Sysorex Government Services, Inc. The Merger was structured as and is intended to constitute a tax-free exchange pursuant to Section 368(a)(1)(A) and Section 368(a)(2)(E) of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended.

 

The issuance of the Merger Shares was made pursuant to an exemption from registration afforded by Section 4(a)(2) of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (“Securities Act”) and Regulation D Rule 506(b) promulgated thereunder. The foregoing description of the terms of the Merger Agreement and the transactions contemplated thereby, does not purport to be complete and is qualified in its entirety by reference to the full text of the Merger Agreement, a copy of which is filed hereto as Exhibit 10.1 and incorporated by reference herein into this Item 1.01.

(a) Conversion of TTM Shares.  In consideration of the Merger, at the Effective Time, each share of TTM (the “TTM Common Stock” or “TTM Share(s)”) issued and outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time shall be converted into the right to receive that number of shares of common stock, $0.00001 par value per share, of SYSX (the “SYSX Common Stock” or “SYSX Share(s)”) (resulting in Merger Shares) as set forth in Schedule I-C, to the effect that the shareholders of TTM will receive that number of shares of SYSX Common Stock (approximately, 123,298,152 shares in the aggregate) representing at least eighty percent (80%) of the then outstanding shares of SYSX Common Stock after accounting for issuance of the Debt Shares as set forth in Schedule I-B and other SYSX Shares issued at or in connection with the Closing of the Merger as set forth in more detail in Schedule I. The TTM shareholders receiving Merger Shares, which will be issued contemporaneously with the Closing are listed in the “Capitalization Table” as set forth in Schedule I. All converted TTM Shares shall no longer be outstanding and shall automatically be cancelled and retired and shall cease to exist, and each certificate (if any) or ownership interest previously representing any such converted TTM Shares shall thereafter represent the right to receive a stock certificate or direct registration book entry statement (“DRS Statement”) representing that number of shares of SYSX Common Stock into which such TTM Shares were converted in the Merger pursuant to this Agreement.  No fractional shares shall be issued in the Merger and all fractional shares shall be rounded down to the nearest whole SYSX Share; the aggregate number of Merger Shares issued to the shareholders of TTM shall be as set forth in Schedule I-C (approximately 123,298,152 shares in the aggregate).

 

(b) Conversion of MergerSub Common Stock into TTM Common Stock.  All shares of common stock, $0.00001 par value of MergerSub issued and outstanding in the aggregate immediately prior to the Effective Time shall be converted into and be exchanged for one hundred (100) newly and validly issued, fully paid and nonassessable shares of common stock, par value $0.000001 per share, of TTM.

(d) Registration Rights. Inpixon shall be entitled to the registration rights described in the Registration Rights Agreement and the Company agrees to register the Securities in accordance with the terms and conditions of the Registration Rights Agreement.

 

5. MISCELLANEOUS.

 

(a) Governing Law; Jurisdiction; Jury Trial. All questions concerning the construction, validity, enforcement and interpretation of this Agreement shall be governed by the internal laws of the State of Nevada, without giving effect to any choice of law or conflict of law provision or rule (whether of the State of Nevada or any other jurisdictions) that would cause the application of the laws of any jurisdictions other than the State of Nevada. The Company hereby irrevocably submits to the exclusive jurisdiction of the state and federal courts sitting in the State of Nevada, for the adjudication of any dispute hereunder or in connection herewith or with any transaction contemplated hereby, and hereby irrevocably waives, and agrees not to assert in any suit, action or proceeding, any claim that it is not personally subject to the jurisdiction of any such court, that such suit, action or proceeding is brought in an inconvenient forum or that the venue of such suit, action or proceeding is improper. Each party hereby irrevocably waives personal service of process and consents to process being served in any such suit, action or proceeding by mailing a copy thereof to such party at the address for such 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. Nothing contained herein shall be deemed or operate to preclude Inpixon from bringing suit or taking other legal action against the Company in any other jurisdiction to collect on the Company’s obligations to Inpixon or to enforce a judgment or other court ruling in favor of Inpixon. EACH PARTY HEREBY IRREVOCABLY WAIVES ANY RIGHT IT MAY HAVE TO, AND AGREES NOT TO REQUEST, A JURY TRIAL FOR THE ADJUDICATION OF ANY DISPUTE HEREUNDER OR IN CONNECTION WITH OR ARISING OUT OF THIS AGREEMENT, OR ANY TRANSACTION CONTEMPLATED HEREBY.

(b) Counterparts. This Agreement may be executed in two or more identical counterparts, all of which shall be considered one and the same agreement and shall become effective when counterparts have been signed by each party and delivered to the other party. In the event that any signature is delivered by facsimile transmission or by an e-mail which contains a portable document format (.pdf) file of an executed signature page, such signature page shall create a valid and binding obligation of the party executing (or on whose behalf such signature is executed) with the same force and effect as if such signature page were an original thereof.

 

(c) Headings; Gender. The headings of this Agreement are for convenience of reference and shall not form part of, or affect the interpretation of, this Agreement. Unless the context clearly indicates otherwise, each pronoun herein shall be deemed to include the masculine, feminine, neuter, singular and plural forms thereof. The terms “including,” “includes,” “include” and words of like import shall be construed broadly as if followed by the words “without limitation.” The terms “herein,” “hereunder,” “hereof” and words of like import refer to this entire Agreement instead of just the provision in which they are found.

 

(d) Severability. If any provision of this Agreement is prohibited by law or otherwise determined to be invalid or unenforceable by a court of competent jurisdiction, the provision that would otherwise be prohibited, invalid or unenforceable shall be deemed amended to apply to the broadest extent that it would be valid and enforceable, and the invalidity or unenforceability of such provision shall not affect the validity of the remaining provisions of this Agreement so long as this Agreement as so modified continues to express, without material change, the original intentions of the parties as to the subject matter hereof and the prohibited nature, invalidity or unenforceability of the provision(s) in question does not substantially impair the respective expectations or reciprocal obligations of the parties or the practical realization of the benefits that would otherwise be conferred upon the parties. The parties will endeavor in good faith negotiations to replace the prohibited, invalid or unenforceable provision(s) with a valid provision(s), the effect of which comes as close as possible to that of the prohibited, invalid or unenforceable provision(s).

 

(e) Entire Agreement; Amendments. This Agreement supersedes all other prior oral or written agreements between Inpixon and the Company and contains the entire understanding of the parties solely with respect to the matters covered herein except as set forth in the other Transaction Documents. For clarification purposes, the Recitals are part of this Agreement and the Transaction Documents remains in full force and effect. No provision of this Agreement may be amended or waived other than by an instrument in writing signed by the Company and Inpixon.

Exhibit 10.3

 

RIGHT TO SHARES LETTER AGREEMENT

 

This Right to Shares Letter Agreement, dated as of April 14, 2021 (this “Agreement”) constitutes an agreement between Sysorex, Inc., a Nevada corporation (the “Company”) and Inpixon, a Nevada corporation (“Inpixon”). Any capitalized terms not defined herein shall have the meaning set forth for such term in the Settlement Agreement (defined below).

 

WHEREAS, the Company and Inpixon entered into that certain Securities Settlement Agreement, dated as of the date of this Agreement (the “Settlement Agreement”), pursuant to which the Company agreed to issue an aggregate of Shares of the Company’s Common Stock, in exchange for the satisfaction of the Indebtedness, including 12,972,190 Shares representing the Closing Shares and an additional 3,000,000 Shares (the “Rights Shares”) underlying the Rights described in this Agreement; and

 

WHEREAS, subject to the terms and conditions set forth herein, from time to time, the Company shall be obligated to issue and Inpixon shall have the right to the issuance of the Rights Shares, subject to adjustment hereunder (such right of Inpixon, the “Right”).

 

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

 

Section 1. Definitions. Capitalized terms used and not otherwise defined herein shall have the meanings set forth in the Settlement Agreement, as amended, modified or supplemented from time to time in accordance with its terms.

 

Section 2. Issuance of Rights Shares.

 

Section 2.1 Issuance of Right in Lieu of Share Issuance. In lieu of issuing the Rights Shares to Inpixon at the Closing, the Company hereby grants the Right to Inpixon. The Company and Inpixon hereby agree that no additional consideration is payable in connection with the issuance of the Rights Shares. Inpixon acknowledges and agrees that the Company has no obligation to repay the Indebtedness to Inpixon, or any assignee or successor to Inpixon.

 

Section 2.2 Right of Issuance of Shares. Subject to the terms hereof, the exercise of the Right may be made, in whole or in part, at any time or times on or after the date hereof by delivery to the Company (or such other office or agency of the Company as it may designate by notice in writing to the registered Purchaser at the address of Inpixon appearing on the books of the Company) of a duly executed facsimile copy of the Notice of Issuance Form annexed hereto requesting the issuance of Rights Shares. Partial exercises of the Right resulting in issuances of a portion of the total number of Rights Shares available hereunder shall have the effect of lowering the outstanding number of Rights Shares purchasable hereunder in an amount equal to the applicable number of Rights Shares issued. Inpixon and the Company shall maintain records showing the number of Rights Shares issued and the date of such issuances. The Company shall deliver any objection to any Notice of Issuance Form within two (2) Business Days of receipt of such notice. Inpixon and any assignee, by assignment of this Agreement, acknowledge and agree that, by reason of the provisions of this paragraph, following the issuance of a portion of the Rights Shares hereunder, the number of Rights Shares available for issuance hereunder at any given time may be less than the amount stated in Section 2 hereof.

 

 

 

 

Section 2.3 Delivery of Certificates. Certificates for the Rights Shares issued hereunder shall be transmitted by the Transfer Agent to Inpixon by crediting the account of Inpixon’s prime broker with The Depository Trust Company through its Deposit or Withdrawal at Custodian system (“DWAC”) if the Company is then a participant in such system and either (A) there is an effective registration statement permitting the issuance of the Rights Shares to or resale of the Rights Shares by Inpixon or (B) the Rights Shares are eligible for resale by Inpixon without volume or manner-of-sale limitations pursuant to Rule 144, and otherwise by book entry (which may include direct registration (DRS), or physical delivery to the address specified by Inpixon in the Notice of Issuance by the date that is two (2) Trading Days after the delivery to the Company of the Notice of Issuance (such date, the “Share Delivery Date”). The Rights Shares shall be deemed to have been issued, and Inpixon or any other person so designated to be named therein shall be deemed to have become a holder of record of such shares for all purposes, as of the date the Right has been exercised.

 

Section 2.4 Compensation for Buy-In on Failure to Timely Deliver Certificates. In addition to any other rights available to Inpixon, if the Company fails to cause the Transfer Agent to transmit to Inpixon a certificate or the certificates representing the Rights Shares pursuant to an exercise on or before the Share Delivery Date, and if after such date and prior to the delivery of such certificate or certificates Inpixon is required by its broker to purchase (in an open market transaction or otherwise) or Inpixon’s brokerage firm otherwise purchases, shares of Common Stock to deliver in satisfaction of a sale by Inpixon of the Rights Shares which Inpixon anticipated receiving upon such exercise (a “Buy-In”), then the Company shall (A) pay in cash to Inpixon the amount, if any, by which (x) Inpixon’s total purchase price (including brokerage commissions, if any) for the shares of Common Stock so purchased exceeds (y) the amount obtained by multiplying (1) the number of Rights Shares that the Company was required to deliver to Inpixon in connection with the exercise at issue times (2) the price at which the sell order giving rise to such purchase obligation was executed, and (B) at the option of Inpixon, either reinstate the portion of the Right and equivalent number of Rights Shares for which such exercise was not honored (in which case such exercise shall be deemed rescinded, and Inpixon shall promptly return to the Company the certificates issued to such Purchaser pursuant to the rescinded Notice of Issuance) or deliver to Inpixon the number of shares of Common Stock that would have been issued had the Company timely complied with its exercise and delivery obligations hereunder. For example, if Inpixon purchases Common Stock having a total purchase price of $11,000 to cover a Buy-In with respect to an attempted exercise of shares of Common Stock with an aggregate sale price giving rise to such purchase obligation of $10,000, under clause (A) of the immediately preceding sentence the Company shall be required to pay Inpixon $1,000. Inpixon shall provide the Company written notice indicating the amounts payable to Inpixon in respect of the Buy-In and, upon request of the Company, evidence of the amount of such loss. Nothing herein shall limit Inpixon’s right to pursue any other remedies available to it hereunder, at law or in equity including, without limitation, a decree of specific performance and/or injunctive relief with respect to the Company’s failure to timely deliver certificates representing shares of Common Stock upon exercise of the Right as required pursuant to the terms hereof.

 

Section 2.5 Charges, Taxes and Expenses. Issuance of certificates for Rights Shares shall be made without charge to Inpixon for any issue or transfer tax or other incidental expense in respect of the issuance of such certificate, all of which taxes and expenses shall be paid by the Company, and such certificates shall be issued in the name of Inpixon or in such name or names as may be directed by Inpixon; provided, however, that in the event certificates for Rights Shares are to be issued in a name other than the name of Inpixon, Inpixon shall deliver the Assignment Form attached hereto duly executed by Inpixon and the Company may require, as a condition thereto, the payment of a sum sufficient to reimburse it for any transfer tax incidental thereto. The Company shall pay all Transfer Agent fees required for the processing of any Notice of Issuance.

 

Section 2.6 Closing of Books. The Company will not close its stockholder books or records in any manner which prevents the timely exercise of the Right, pursuant to the terms hereof.

Section 2.7 Limitations. Inpixon shall not have the right to exercise any portion of the Right, pursuant to Section 2 or otherwise, to the extent that after giving effect to such issuance after exercise as set forth on the applicable Notice of Issuance, Inpixon (together with Inpixon’s affiliates, and any other persons acting as a group together with Inpixon or any of Inpixon’s affiliates), would beneficially own in excess of the Beneficial Ownership Limitation (as defined below). For purposes of the foregoing sentence, the number of shares of Common Stock beneficially owned by Inpixon and its affiliates shall include the number of shares of Common Stock issuable upon exercise of the Right with respect to which such determination is being made, but shall exclude the number of shares of Common Stock which would be issuable upon (i) exercise of the remaining, nonexercised portion of the Right beneficially owned by Inpixon or any of its Affiliates and (ii) exercise or conversion of the unexercised or nonconverted portion of any other securities of the Company (including, without limitation, any other Common Stock Equivalents) subject to a limitation on conversion or exercise analogous to the limitation contained herein beneficially owned by Inpixon or any of its Affiliates. The Company shall not be liable for any instruction received by Inpixon. Except as set forth in the preceding sentence, for purposes of this Section 2.7, beneficial ownership shall be calculated in accordance with Section 13(d) of the Exchange Act and the rules and regulations promulgated thereunder, it being acknowledged by Inpixon that the Company is not representing to Inpixon that such calculation is in compliance with Section 13(d) of the Exchange Act and Inpixon is solely responsible for any schedules required to be filed in accordance therewith. To the extent that the limitation contained in this Section 2.7 applies, the determination of whether the Right is exercisable (in relation to other securities owned by Inpixon together with any affiliates) and of which portion of the Right is exercisable shall be in the sole discretion of Inpixon, and the submission of a Notice of Issuance shall be deemed to be Inpixon’s determination of whether the Right is exercisable (in relation to other securities owned by Inpixon together with any affiliates) and of which portion of the Right is exercisable, in each case subject to the Beneficial Ownership Limitation, and the Company shall have no obligation to verify or confirm the accuracy of such determination. In addition, a determination as to any group status as contemplated above shall be determined in accordance with Section 13(d) of the Exchange Act and the rules and regulations promulgated thereunder. For purposes of this Section 2.7, in determining the number of outstanding shares of Common Stock, Inpixon may rely on the number of outstanding shares of Common Stock as reflected in (A) the Company’s most recent periodic or annual report filed with the Commission, as the case may be, (B) a more recent public announcement by the Company or (C) a more recent written notice by the Company or the Transfer Agent setting forth the number of shares of Common Stock outstanding. Upon the written or oral request of Inpixon, the Company shall within two Trading Days confirm orally and in writing to Inpixon the number of shares of Common Stock then outstanding. In any case, the number of outstanding shares of Common Stock shall be determined after giving effect to the conversion or exercise of securities of the Company, including the Right, by Inpixon or its affiliates since the date as of which such number of outstanding shares of Common Stock was reported. The “Beneficial Ownership Limitation” shall be up to 9.99% of the number of shares of the Common Stock outstanding immediately after giving effect to the issuance of shares of Common Stock issuable upon exercise of the Right. Inpixon, upon not less than 61 days’ prior notice to the Company, may increase or decrease the Beneficial Ownership Limitation provisions of this Section 2.7, provided, however, in no event shall the Beneficial Ownership exceed 9.99%. Any such increase or decrease will not be effective until the 61st day after such notice is delivered to the Company. The provisions of this paragraph shall be construed and implemented in a manner otherwise than in strict conformity with the terms of this Section 2.7 to correct this paragraph (or any portion hereof) which may be defective or inconsistent with the intended Beneficial Ownership Limitation herein contained or to make changes or supplements necessary or desirable to properly give effect to such limitation. The limitations contained in this paragraph shall apply to a successor assignee of this Agreement.

Section 3. Certain Adjustments.

 

Section 3.1. Stock Dividends and Splits. If the Company, at any time while the Right exists: (i) pays a stock dividend or otherwise makes a distribution or distributions on shares of its Common Stock or any other equity or equity equivalent securities payable in shares of Common Stock; (ii) subdivides outstanding shares of Common Stock into a larger number of shares; (iii) combines (including by way of reverse stock split) outstanding shares of Common Stock into a smaller number of shares; or (iv) issues by reclassification of shares of the Common Stock any shares of capital stock of the Company, then in each case the number of Rights Shares issuable upon exercise of the Right shall be proportionately adjusted. Any adjustment made pursuant to this Section 3.1 shall become effective immediately after the record date for the determination of stockholders entitled to receive such dividend or distribution (provided that if the declaration of such dividend or distribution is rescinded or otherwise cancelled, then such adjustment shall be reversed upon notice to Inpixon of the termination of such proposed declaration or distribution as to any unexercised portion of the Right at the time of such rescission or cancellation) and shall become effective immediately after the effective date in the case of a subdivision, combination or re-classification.

 

Section 3.2 Benefit of Contractual Rights. All contractual rights granted to Inpixon under the Settlement Agreement are hereby granted to Inpixon with respect to the Rights Shares, including, without limitation, the registration rights described in Section 4(d) of the Settlement Agreement.

 

Section 3.3 Subsequent Rights Offerings. If Section 3.1 above does not apply, if at any time the Company grants, issues or sells any Common Stock Equivalents or rights to purchase stock, warrants, securities or other property pro rata to the record holders of any class of shares of Common Stock (the “Purchase Rights”), then Inpixon will be entitled to acquire, upon the terms applicable to such Purchase Rights, the aggregate Purchase Rights which Inpixon could have acquired if Inpixon had held the number of shares of Common Stock acquirable upon complete exercise of the Right (without regard to any limitations on exercise hereof, including without limitation, the Beneficial Ownership Limitation) immediately before the date on which a record is taken for the grant, issuance or sale of such Purchase Rights, or, if no such record is taken, the date as of which the record holders of shares of Common Stock are to be determined for the grant, issue or sale of such Purchase Rights (provided, however, to the extent that Inpixon’s right to participate in any such Purchase Right would result in Inpixon exceeding the Beneficial Ownership Limitation, then Inpixon shall not be entitled to participate in such Purchase Right to such extent (or beneficial ownership of such shares of Common Stock as a result of such Purchase Right to such extent) and such Purchase Right to such extent shall be held in abeyance for Inpixon until such time, if ever, as its right thereto would not result in Inpixon exceeding the Beneficial Ownership Limitation).

 

Section 3.4 Fundamental Transaction. If, at any time while the Right remains outstanding: (i) the Company, directly or indirectly, in one or more related transactions effects any merger or consolidation of the Company with or into another Person; (ii) the Company, directly or indirectly, effects any sale, lease, license, assignment, transfer, conveyance or other disposition of all or substantially all of its assets in one or a series of related transaction; (iii) any, direct or indirect, purchase offer, tender offer or exchange offer (whether by the Company or another Person) is completed pursuant to which holders of Common Stock are permitted to sell, tender or exchange their shares for other securities, cash or property and has been accepted by the holders of 50% or more of the outstanding Common Stock; (iv) the Company, directly or indirectly, in one or more related transactions effects any reclassification, reorganization or recapitalization of the Common Stock or any compulsory share exchange pursuant to which the Common Stock is effectively converted into or exchanged for other securities, cash or property; or (v) the Company, directly or indirectly, in one or more related transactions consummates a stock or share Settlement Agreement or other business combination (including, without limitation, a reorganization, recapitalization, spin-off or scheme of arrangement) with another Person or group of Persons whereby such other Person or group acquires more than 50% of the outstanding shares of Common Stock (not including any shares of Common Stock held by the other Person or other Persons making or party to, or associated or affiliated with the other Persons making or party to, such stock or share Settlement Agreement or other business combination) (each a “Fundamental Transaction”), then, upon any subsequent exercise of the Right, Inpixon shall have the right to receive, for each Reserved Share that would have been issuable upon such exercise immediately prior to the occurrence of such Fundamental Transaction, at the option of Inpixon (without regard to any limitation in Section 2.7 on the exercise of the Right), the number of shares of Common Stock of the successor or acquiring corporation or of the Company, if it is the surviving corporation, and any additional consideration (the “Alternate Consideration”) receivable as a result of such Fundamental Transaction by a holder of one share of Common Stock. Upon the occurrence of any such Fundamental Transaction, the successor entity in a Fundamental Transaction in which the Company is not the survivor (the “Successor Entity”) shall succeed to, and be substituted for (so that from and after the date of such Fundamental Transaction, the provisions of this Agreement and the other Transaction Documents referring to the “Company” shall refer instead to the Successor Entity), and may exercise every right and power of the Company and shall assume all of the obligations of the Company under this Agreement and the other Transaction Documents with the same effect as if such Successor Entity had been named as the Company herein.

Section 3.5 Notice to Allow Exercise of Right. If (A) the Company shall declare a dividend (or any other distribution in whatever form) on the Common Stock, (B) the Company shall declare a special nonrecurring cash dividend on or a redemption of the Common Stock, (C) the Company shall authorize the granting to all holders of the Common Stock rights or warrants to subscribe for or purchase any shares of capital stock of any class or of any rights, (D) the approval of any stockholders of the Company shall be required in connection with any reclassification of the Common Stock, any consolidation or merger to which the Company is a party, any sale or transfer of all or substantially all of the assets of the Company, or any compulsory share exchange whereby the Common Stock is converted into other securities, cash or property, or (E) the Company shall authorize the voluntary or involuntary dissolution, liquidation or winding up of the affairs of the Company, then, in each case, the Company shall cause to be mailed to Inpixon at its address on the signature page to the Settlement Agreement, at least twenty (20) calendar days prior to the applicable record or effective date hereinafter specified, a notice stating (x) the date on which a record is to be taken for the purpose of such dividend, distribution, redemption, rights or warrants, or if a record is not to be taken, the date as of which the holders of the Common Stock of record to be entitled to such dividend, distributions, redemption, rights or warrants are to be determined or (y) the date on which such reclassification, consolidation, merger, sale, transfer or share exchange is expected to become effective or close, and the date as of which it is expected that holders of the Common Stock of record shall be entitled to exchange their shares of the Common Stock for securities, cash or other property deliverable upon such reclassification, consolidation, merger, sale, transfer or share exchange; provided that the failure to mail such notice or any defect therein or in the mailing thereof shall not affect the validity of the corporate action required to be specified in such notice. To the extent that any notice provided hereunder constitutes, or contains, material, non-public information regarding the Company or any of its subsidiaries, the Company shall simultaneously file such notice with the Commission pursuant to a Current Report on Form 8-K. Inpixon shall remain entitled to exercise the Right during the period commencing on the date of such notice to the effective date of the event triggering such notice except as may otherwise be expressly set forth herein.

 

Section 4. Transfer of Right.

 

Section 4.1 Transferability. Subject to compliance with any applicable securities laws of the United States or any state thereof and to the applicable provisions of the Settlement Agreement, the Right and all rights hereunder (including, without limitation, any registration rights) are transferable, in whole or in part, upon written assignment substantially in the form attached hereto duly executed by Inpixon or its agent or attorney and funds sufficient to pay any transfer taxes payable upon the making of such transfer of this Agreement delivered to the principal office of the Company or its designated agent. Upon such assignment and, if required, such payment, the Company shall enter into a new agreement with the assignee or assignees, as applicable, and this Agreement shall promptly be cancelled. The Right, if properly assigned in accordance herewith, may be exercised by a new holder for the issue of Rights Shares without having a new agreement executed.

 

5 

 

 

Section 4.2 Division of Rights. The Rights may be divided or combined with other rights upon presentation hereof at the aforesaid office of the Company, together with a written notice specifying the names and denominations in which such Rights are to be granted, signed by Inpixon or its agent or attorney.

 

Section 5. Reserved.

 

Section 6. Effect on Transaction Documents. This Agreement shall be deemed for all purposes as a Transaction Document (as defined in the Settlement Agreement) and all representations and warranties made by the Company and Inpixon shall apply with respect to this Agreement.

 

Section 7. Miscellaneous.

 

Section 7.1 No Rights as Stockholder Until Exercise. This Agreement does not entitle Inpixon to any voting rights, dividends or other rights as a stockholder of the Company prior to the exercise hereof as set forth in Section 2.

 

Section 7.2 Saturdays, Sundays, Holidays, etc. If the last or appointed day for the taking of any action or the expiration of any right required or granted herein shall not be a Business Day, then, such action may be taken or such right may be exercised on the next succeeding Business Day.

 

Section 7.3 Authorized Shares. The Company covenants that, during the period the Right is outstanding, it will reserve from its authorized and unissued Common Stock a sufficient number of shares to provide for the issuance of the Rights Shares upon the exercise of the Right. The Company further covenants that its issuance of the Right shall constitute full authority to its officers who are charged with the duty of executing stock certificates to execute and issue the necessary certificates for the Rights Shares upon the due exercise of the Right. The Company will take all such reasonable action as may be necessary to assure that such Rights Shares may be issued as provided herein without violation of any applicable law or regulation, or of any requirements of the trading market upon which the Common Stock may be listed or quoted. The Company covenants that all Rights Shares which may be issued upon the exercise of the Right represented by this Agreement will, upon exercise of the Right, be duly authorized, validly issued, fully paid and nonassessable and free from all taxes, liens and charges created by the Company in respect of the issue thereof (other than taxes in respect of any transfer occurring contemporaneously with such issue). Except and to the extent as waived or consented to by Inpixon, the Company shall not by any action, including, without limitation, amending its certificate of incorporation or through any reorganization, transfer of assets, consolidation, merger, dissolution, issue or sale of securities or any other voluntary action, avoid or seek to avoid the observance or performance of any of the terms of this Agreement, but will at all times in good faith assist in the carrying out of all such terms and in the taking of all such actions as may be necessary or appropriate to protect the rights of Inpixon as set forth in this Agreement against impairment. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the Company will (i) not increase the par value of any Rights Shares above the amount payable therefor upon such exercise immediately prior to such increase in par value, (ii) take all such action as may be necessary or appropriate in order that the Company may validly and legally issue fully paid and nonassessable Rights Shares upon the exercise of the Right, and (iii) use commercially reasonable efforts to obtain all such authorizations, exemptions or consents from any public regulatory body having jurisdiction thereof, as may be, necessary to enable the Company to perform its obligations under this Agreement.

 

6 

 

 

Before taking any action which would result in an adjustment in the number of Rights Shares for which the Right provides for, the Company shall obtain all such authorizations or exemptions thereof, or consents thereto, as may be necessary from any public regulatory body or bodies having jurisdiction thereof.

(d) Registration Rights. Systat shall be entitled to the registration rights described in the Registration Rights Agreement and the Company agrees to register the Securities in accordance with the terms and conditions of the Registration Rights Agreement.

 

5. MISCELLANEOUS.

 

(a) Governing Law; Jurisdiction; Jury Trial. All questions concerning the construction, validity, enforcement and interpretation of this Agreement shall be governed by the internal laws of the State of Nevada, without giving effect to any choice of law or conflict of law provision or rule (whether of the State of Nevada or any other jurisdictions) that would cause the application of the laws of any jurisdictions other than the State of Nevada. The Company hereby irrevocably submits to the exclusive jurisdiction of the state and federal courts sitting in the State of Nevada, for the adjudication of any dispute hereunder or in connection herewith or with any transaction contemplated hereby, and hereby irrevocably waives, and agrees not to assert in any suit, action or proceeding, any claim that it is not personally subject to the jurisdiction of any such court, that such suit, action or proceeding is brought in an inconvenient forum or that the venue of such suit, action or proceeding is improper. Each party hereby irrevocably waives personal service of process and consents to process being served in any such suit, action or proceeding by mailing a copy thereof to such party at the address for such 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. Nothing contained herein shall be deemed or operate to preclude Systat from bringing suit or taking other legal action against the Company in any other jurisdiction to collect on the Company’s obligations to Systat or to enforce a judgment or other court ruling in favor of Systat. EACH PARTY HEREBY IRREVOCABLY WAIVES ANY RIGHT IT MAY HAVE TO, AND AGREES NOT TO REQUEST, A JURY TRIAL FOR THE ADJUDICATION OF ANY DISPUTE HEREUNDER OR IN CONNECTION WITH OR ARISING OUT OF THIS AGREEMENT, OR ANY TRANSACTION CONTEMPLATED HEREBY.

 

7

 

 

(b) Counterparts. This Agreement may be executed in two or more identical counterparts, all of which shall be considered one and the same agreement and shall become effective when counterparts have been signed by each party and delivered to the other party. In the event that any signature is delivered by facsimile transmission or by an e-mail which contains a portable document format (.pdf) file of an executed signature page, such signature page shall create a valid and binding obligation of the party executing (or on whose behalf such signature is executed) with the same force and effect as if such signature page were an original thereof.

 

(c) Headings; Gender. The headings of this Agreement are for convenience of reference and shall not form part of, or affect the interpretation of, this Agreement. Unless the context clearly indicates otherwise, each pronoun herein shall be deemed to include the masculine, feminine, neuter, singular and plural forms thereof. The terms “including,” “includes,” “include” and words of like import shall be construed broadly as if followed by the words “without limitation.” The terms “herein,” “hereunder,” “hereof” and words of like import refer to this entire Agreement instead of just the provision in which they are found.

 

(d) Severability. If any provision of this Agreement is prohibited by law or otherwise determined to be invalid or unenforceable by a court of competent jurisdiction, the provision that would otherwise be prohibited, invalid or unenforceable shall be deemed amended to apply to the broadest extent that it would be valid and enforceable, and the invalidity or unenforceability of such provision shall not affect the validity of the remaining provisions of this Agreement so long as this Agreement as so modified continues to express, without material change, the original intentions of the parties as to the subject matter hereof and the prohibited nature, invalidity or unenforceability of the provision(s) in question does not substantially impair the respective expectations or reciprocal obligations of the parties or the practical realization of the benefits that would otherwise be conferred upon the parties. The parties will endeavor in good faith negotiations to replace the prohibited, invalid or unenforceable provision(s) with a valid provision(s), the effect of which comes as close as possible to that of the prohibited, invalid or unenforceable provision(s).

 

(e) Entire Agreement; Amendments. This Agreement supersedes all other prior oral or written agreements between Systat and the Company and contains the entire understanding of the parties solely with respect to the matters covered herein except as set forth in the other Transaction Documents. For clarification purposes, the Recitals are part of this Agreement and the Transaction Documents remains in full force and effect. No provision of this Agreement may be amended or waived other than by an instrument in writing signed by the Company and Systat.

Any notices, consents, waivers or other communications required or permitted to be given under the terms of this Agreement must be in writing and will be deemed to have been given and delivered: (i) upon receipt, when delivered personally; (ii) upon receipt, when sent by facsimile (provided confirmation of transmission is mechanically or electronically generated and kept on file by the sending party) or electronic mail; or (iii) one (1) Business Day after deposit with an overnight courier service with next day delivery specified, in each case, properly addressed to the party to receive the same.

If Lender makes a request for an issuance of Exchange Shares that would cause Lender to beneficially own a nmber of shares of Common Stock exceeding the Maximum Percentage, Borrower shall issue the maximum number of Exchange Shares available to Lender so as to not cause Lender’s ownership of Common Stock to exceed the Maximum Percentage.

5. MISCELLANEOUS.

 

(a) Governing Law; Jurisdiction; Jury Trial. All questions concerning the construction, validity, enforcement and interpretation of this Agreement shall be governed by the internal laws of the State of Delaware, without giving effect to any choice of law or conflict of law provision or rule (whether of the State of Delaware or any other jurisdictions) that would cause the application of the laws of any jurisdictions other than the State of Delaware. The Company hereby irrevocably submits to the exclusive jurisdiction of the state and federal courts sitting in the State of Delaware, for the adjudication of any dispute hereunder or in connection herewith or with any transaction contemplated hereby, and hereby irrevocably waives, and agrees not to assert in any suit, action or proceeding, any claim that it is not personally subject to the jurisdiction of any such court, that such suit, action or proceeding is brought in an inconvenient forum or that the venue of such suit, action or proceeding is improper. Each party hereby irrevocably waives personal service of process and consents to process being served in any such suit, action or proceeding by mailing a copy thereof to such party at the address for such 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. Nothing contained herein shall be deemed or operate to preclude First Choice from bringing suit or taking other legal action against the Company in any other jurisdiction to collect on the Company’s obligations to First Choice or to enforce a judgment or other court ruling in favor of First Choice. EACH PARTY HEREBY IRREVOCABLY WAIVES ANY RIGHT IT MAY HAVE TO, AND AGREES NOT TO REQUEST, A JURY TRIAL FOR THE ADJUDICATION OF ANY DISPUTE HEREUNDER OR IN CONNECTION WITH OR ARISING OUT OF THIS AGREEMENT, OR ANY TRANSACTION CONTEMPLATED HEREBY.

 

(b) Counterparts. This Agreement may be executed in two or more identical counterparts, all of which shall be considered one and the same agreement and shall become effective when counterparts have been signed by each party and delivered to the other party. In the event that any signature is delivered by facsimile transmission or by an e-mail which contains a portable document format (.pdf) file of an executed signature page, such signature page shall create a valid and binding obligation of the party executing (or on whose behalf such signature is executed) with the same force and effect as if such signature page were an original thereof.

 

(c) Headings; Gender. The headings of this Agreement are for convenience of reference and shall not form part of, or affect the interpretation of, this Agreement. Unless the context clearly indicates otherwise, each pronoun herein shall be deemed to include the masculine, feminine, neuter, singular and plural forms thereof. The terms “including,” “includes,” “include” and words of like import shall be construed broadly as if followed by the words “without limitation.” The terms “herein,” “hereunder,” “hereof” and words of like import refer to this entire Agreement instead of just the provision in which they are found.

 

(d) Severability. If any provision of this Agreement is prohibited by law or otherwise determined to be invalid or unenforceable by a court of competent jurisdiction, the provision that would otherwise be prohibited, invalid or unenforceable shall be deemed amended to apply to the broadest extent that it would be valid and enforceable, and the invalidity or unenforceability of such provision shall not affect the validity of the remaining provisions of this Agreement so long as this Agreement as so modified continues to express, without material change, the original intentions of the parties as to the subject matter hereof and the prohibited nature, invalidity or unenforceability of the provision(s) in question does not substantially impair the respective expectations or reciprocal obligations of the parties or the practical realization of the benefits that would otherwise be conferred upon the parties. The parties will endeavor in good faith negotiations to replace the prohibited, invalid or unenforceable provision(s) with a valid provision(s), the effect of which comes as close as possible to that of the prohibited, invalid or unenforceable provision(s).

 

(e) Entire Agreement; Amendments. This Agreement supersedes all other prior oral or written agreements between First Choice and the Company and contains the entire understanding of the parties solely with respect to the matters covered herein except as set forth in the other Transaction Documents. For clarification purposes, the Recitals are part of this Agreement and the Transaction Documents remains in full force and effect. No provision of this Agreement may be amended or waived other than by an instrument in writing signed by the Company and First Choice.

Any notices, consents, waivers or other communications required or permitted to be given under the terms of this Agreement must be in writing and will be deemed to have been given and delivered: (i) upon receipt, when delivered personally; (ii) upon receipt, when sent by facsimile (provided confirmation of transmission is mechanically or electronically generated and kept on file by the sending party) or electronic mail; or (iii) one (1) Business Day after deposit with an overnight courier service with next day delivery specified, in each case, properly addressed to the party to receive the same.

Exhibit 10.7

 

RIGHT TO SHARES LETTER AGREEMENT

 

This Right to Shares Letter Agreement, dated as of April 14, 2021 (this “Agreement”) constitutes an agreement between Sysorex, Inc. (the “Company”) and First Choice International Company, Inc. (the “First Choice”). Any capitalized terms not defined herein shall have the meaning set forth for such term in the Settlement Agreement (defined below).

 

WHEREAS, the Company and First Choice entered into that certain Securities Settlement Agreement, dated as of the date of this Agreement (the “Settlement Agreement”), pursuant to which the Company agreed to grant a right to an aggregate of 5,272,4071 shares of Company common stock (“Common Stock”) (the “Rights Shares”) underlying the Rights described in this Agreement; and

 

WHEREAS, subject to the terms and conditions set forth herein, from time-to-time, the Company shall be obligated to issue and First Choice shall have the right to the issuance of the Rights Shares, subject to adjustment hereunder (such right of First Choice, the “Right”).

 

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

 

Section 1. Definitions. Capitalized terms used and not otherwise defined herein shall have the meanings set forth in the Settlement Agreement, as amended, modified or supplemented from time-to- time in accordance with its terms.

 

Section 2. Issuance of Reserved Shares.

 

Section 2.1 Issuance of Right in Lieu of Share Issuance. In lieu of issuing the Rights Shares to First Choice at the Closing, the Company hereby grants the Right to First Choice. The Company and First Choice hereby agree that there is good and valuable consideration for the Right and no additional consideration is payable in connection with the issuance of the Rights Shares. First Choice acknowledges and agrees that the Company has no obligation to repay the Indebtedness to First Choice, or any assignee or successor to First Choice.

 

Section 2.2 Right of Issuance of Shares. Subject to the terms hereof, the exercise of the Right may be made, in whole or in part, at any time or times on or after the date hereof by delivery to the Company (or such other office or agency of the Company as it may designate by notice in writing to First Choice at the address of First Choice appearing on the books of the Company) of a duly executed facsimile or .PDF copy of the Notice of Issuance Form annexed hereto requesting the issuance of Rights Shares. Partial exercises of the Right resulting in issuances of a portion of the total number of Rights Shares available hereunder shall have the effect of lowering the outstanding number of Rights Shares purchasable hereunder in an amount equal to the applicable number of Rights Shares issued. First Choice and the Company shall maintain records showing the number of Rights Shares issued and the date of such issuances. The Company shall deliver any objection to any Notice of Issuance Form within two (2) Business Days of receipt of such notice. First Choice and any assignee, by assignment of this Agreement, acknowledge and agree that, by reason of the provisions of this paragraph, following the issuance of a portion of the Rights Shares hereunder, the number of Rights Shares available for issuance hereunder at any given time may be less than the amount stated in Section 2 hereof.

 

 

 

1 Number of shares shall not exceed 9.99% of the total issued and outstanding shares of Common Stock of the Company.

 

 

 

 

Section 2.3 Delivery of Certificates. Certificates or Direct Registration System (“DRS”) book entry statements for the Rights Shares issued hereunder shall be transmitted by the Transfer Agent to First Choice by crediting the account of First Choice’s prime broker with The Depository Trust Company through its Deposit or Withdrawal at Custodian system (“DWAC”) if the Company is then a participant in such system (or a similar system such as DRS) and either (A) there is an effective registration statement permitting the issuance of the Rights Shares to or resale of the Rights Shares by First Choice or (B) the Rights Shares are eligible for resale by First Choice without volume or manner- of-sale limitations pursuant to Rule 144, and otherwise by physical delivery to the address specified by First Choice in the Notice of Issuance by the date that is two (2) Trading Days after the delivery to the Company of the Notice of Issuance (such date, the “Share Delivery Date”). The Rights Shares shall be deemed to have been issued, and First Choice or any other person so designated to be named therein shall be deemed to have become a beneficial holder of record of such shares for all purposes, as of the date the Right has been exercised.

 

Section 2.4 Compensation for Buy-In on Failure to Timely Deliver Certificates. In addition to any other rights available to First Choice, if the Company fails to cause the Transfer Agent to transmit to First Choice a certificate or the certificates representing the Rights Shares pursuant to an exercise on or before the Share Delivery Date, and if after such date and prior to the delivery of such certificate or certificates First Choice is required by its broker to purchase (in an open market transaction or otherwise) or First Choice’s brokerage firm otherwise purchases, shares of Common Stock to deliver in satisfaction of a sale by First Choice of the Rights Shares which First Choice anticipated receiving upon such exercise (a “Buy-In”), then the Company shall (A) pay in cash to First Choice the amount, if any, by which (x) First Choice’s total purchase price (including brokerage commissions, if any) for the shares of Common Stock so purchased exceeds (y) the amount obtained by multiplying (1) the number of Rights Shares that the Company was required to deliver to First Choice in connection with the exercise at issue times (2) the price at which the sell order giving rise to such purchase obligation was executed, and (B) at the option of First Choice, either reinstate the portion of the Right and equivalent number of Rights Shares for which such exercise was not honored (in which case such exercise shall be deemed rescinded, and First Choice shall promptly return to the Company the certificates issued to First Choice pursuant to the rescinded Notice of Issuance) or deliver to First Choice the number of shares of Common Stock that would have been issued had the Company timely complied with its exercise and delivery obligations hereunder. For example, if First Choice purchases Common Stock having a total purchase price of $11,000 to cover a Buy-In with respect to an attempted exercise of shares of Common Stock with an aggregate sale price giving rise to such purchase obligation of $10,000, under clause (A) of the immediately preceding sentence the Company shall be required to pay First Choice $1,000. First Choice shall provide the Company written notice indicating the amounts payable to First Choice in respect of the Buy-In and, upon request of the Company, evidence of the amount of such loss. Nothing herein shall limit First Choice’s right to pursue any other remedies available to it hereunder, at law or in equity including, without limitation, a decree of specific performance and/or injunctive relief with respect to the Company’s failure to timely deliver certificates representing shares of Common Stock upon exercise of the Right as required pursuant to the terms hereof.

 

Section 2.5 Charges, Taxes and Expenses. Issuance of certificates for Rights Shares shall be made without charge to First Choice for any issue or transfer tax or other incidental expense in respect of the issuance of such certificate, all of which taxes and expenses shall be paid by the Company, and such certificates shall be issued in the name of First Choice or in such name or names as may be directed by First Choice; provided, however, that in the event certificates for Rights Shares are to be issued in a name other than the name of First Choice, First Choice shall deliver the Assignment Form attached hereto duly executed by First Choice and the Company may require, as a condition thereto, the payment of a sum sufficient to reimburse it for any transfer tax incidental thereto. The Company shall pay all Transfer Agent fees required for the processing of any Notice of Issuance.

 

2

 

 

Section 2.6 Closing of Books. The Company will not close its stockholder books or records in any manner which prevents the timely exercise of the Right, pursuant to the terms hereof.

 

Section 2.7 Limitations. First Choice shall not have the right to exercise any portion of the Right, pursuant to Section 2 or otherwise, to the extent that after giving effect to such issuance after exercise as set forth on the applicable Notice of Issuance, First Choice (together with First Choice’s affiliates, and any other persons acting as a group together with First Choice or any of First Choice’s affiliates), would beneficially own in excess of the Beneficial Ownership Limitation (as defined below). For purposes of the foregoing sentence, the number of shares of Common Stock beneficially owned by First Choice and its affiliates shall include the number of shares of Common Stock issuable upon exercise of the Right with respect to which such determination is being made, but shall exclude the number of shares of Common Stock which would be issuable upon (i) exercise of the remaining, nonexercised portion of the Right beneficially owned by First Choice or any of its Affiliates and (ii) exercise or conversion of the unexercised or nonconverted portion of any other securities of the Company (including, without limitation, any other Common Stock Equivalents) subject to a limitation on conversion or exercise analogous to the limitation contained herein beneficially owned by First Choice or any of its Affiliates. The Company shall not be liable for any instruction received by First Choice. Except as set forth in the preceding sentence, for purposes of this Section 2.7, beneficial ownership shall be calculated in accordance with Section 13(d) of the Exchange Act and the rules and regulations promulgated thereunder, it being acknowledged by First Choice that the Company is not representing to First Choice that such calculation is in compliance with Section 13(d) of the Exchange Act and First Choice is solely responsible for any schedules required to be filed in accordance therewith. To the extent that the limitation contained in this Section 2.7 applies, the determination of whether the Right is exercisable (in relation to other securities owned by First Choice together with any affiliates) and of which portion of the Right is exercisable shall be in the sole discretion of First Choice, and the submission of a Notice of Issuance shall be deemed to be First Choice’s determination of whether the Right is exercisable (in relation to other securities owned by First Choice together with any affiliates) and of which portion of the Right is exercisable, in each case subject to the Beneficial Ownership Limitation, and the Company shall have no obligation to verify or confirm the accuracy of such determination. In addition, a determination as to any group status as contemplated above shall be determined in accordance with Section 13(d) of the Exchange Act and the rules and regulations promulgated thereunder. For purposes of this Section 2.7, in determining the number of outstanding shares of Common Stock, First Choice may rely on the number of outstanding shares of Common Stock as reflected in (A) the Company’s most recent periodic or annual report filed with the Commission, as the case may be, (B) a more recent public announcement by the Company or (C) a more recent written notice by the Company or the Transfer Agent setting forth the number of shares of Common Stock outstanding. Upon the written or oral request of First Choice, the Company shall within two (2) Trading Days confirm orally and in writing to First Choice the number of shares of Common Stock then outstanding. In any case, the number of outstanding shares of Common Stock shall be determined after giving effect to the conversion or exercise of securities of the Company, including the Right, by First Choice or its affiliates since the date as of which such number of outstanding shares of Common Stock was reported. The “Beneficial Ownership Limitation” shall be up to 9.99% of the number of shares of the Common Stock outstanding immediately after giving effect to the issuance of shares of Common Stock issuable upon exercise of the Right. First Choice, upon not less than 61 days’ prior notice to the Company, may increase or decrease the Beneficial Ownership Limitation provisions of this Section 2.7, provided, however, in no event shall the Beneficial Ownership exceed 9.99%. Any such increase or decrease will not be effective until the 61st day after such notice is delivered to the Company. The provisions of this paragraph shall be construed and implemented in a manner otherwise than in strict conformity with the terms of this Section 2.7 to correct this paragraph (or any portion hereof) which may be defective or inconsistent with the intended Beneficial Ownership Limitation herein contained or to make changes or supplements necessary or desirable to properly give effect to such limitation. The limitations contained in this paragraph shall apply to a successor assignee of this Agreement.

Section 3. Certain Adjustments.

 

Section 3.1. Stock Dividends and Splits. If the Company, at any time while the Right exists: (i)       pays a stock dividend or otherwise makes a distribution or distributions on shares of its Common Stock or any other equity or equity equivalent securities payable in shares of Common Stock, (ii) subdivides outstanding shares of Common Stock into a larger number of shares, (iii) combines (including by way of reverse stock split) outstanding shares of Common Stock into a smaller number of shares, or (iv) issues by reclassification of shares of the Common Stock any shares of capital stock of the Company, then in each case the number of Rights Shares issuable upon exercise of the Right shall be proportionately adjusted. Any adjustment made pursuant to this Section 3.1 shall become effective immediately after the record date for the determination of stockholders entitled to receive such dividend or distribution (provided that if the declaration of such dividend or distribution is rescinded or otherwise cancelled, then such adjustment shall be reversed upon notice to First Choice of the termination of such proposed declaration or distribution as to any unexercised portion of the Right at the time of such rescission or cancellation) and shall become effective immediately after the effective date in the case of a subdivision, combination or re-classification.

 

Section 3.2 Benefit of Contractual Rights. All contractual rights granted to First Choice under the Settlement Agreement are hereby granted to First Choice with respect to the Rights Shares, including, without limitation, the registration rights described in Section 4(d) of the Settlement Agreement.

 

Section 3.3 Subsequent Rights Offerings. If Section 3.1 above does not apply, if at any time the Company grants, issues or sells any Common Stock Equivalents or rights to purchase stock, warrants, securities or other property pro rata to the record holders of any class of shares of Common Stock (the “Purchase Rights”), then First Choice will be entitled to acquire, upon the terms applicable to such Purchase Rights, the aggregate Purchase Rights which First Choice could have acquired if First Choice had held the number of shares of Common Stock acquirable upon complete exercise of the Right (without regard to any limitations on exercise hereof, including without limitation, the Beneficial Ownership Limitation) immediately before the date on which a record is taken for the grant, issuance or sale of such Purchase Rights, or, if no such record is taken, the date as of which the record holders of shares of Common Stock are to be determined for the grant, issue or sale of such Purchase Rights (provided, however, to the extent that First Choice’s right to participate in any such Purchase Right would result in First Choice exceeding the Beneficial Ownership Limitation, then First Choice shall not be entitled to participate in such Purchase Right to such extent (or beneficial ownership of such shares of Common Stock as a result of such Purchase Right to such extent) and such Purchase Right to such extent shall be held in abeyance for First Choice until such time, if ever, as its right thereto would not result in First Choice exceeding the Beneficial Ownership Limitation).

 

4

 

 

Section 3.4 Fundamental Transaction. If, at any time while the Right remains outstanding, (i) the Company, directly or indirectly, in one or more related transactions effects any merger or consolidation of the Company with or into another Person, (ii) the Company, directly or indirectly, effects any sale, lease, license, assignment, transfer, conveyance or other disposition of all or substantially all of its assets in one or a series of related transactions, (iii) any, direct or indirect, purchase offer, tender offer or exchange offer (whether by the Company or another Person) is completed pursuant to which holders of Common Stock are permitted to sell, tender or exchange their shares for other securities, cash or property and has been accepted by the holders of 50% or more of the outstanding Common Stock, (iv) the Company, directly or indirectly, in one or more related transactions effects any reclassification, reorganization or recapitalization of the Common Stock or any compulsory share exchange pursuant to which the Common Stock is effectively converted into or exchanged for other securities, cash or property, or (v) the Company, directly or indirectly, in one or more related transactions consummates a stock or share Settlement Agreement or other business combination (including, without limitation, a reorganization, recapitalization, spin-off or scheme of arrangement) with another Person or group of Persons whereby such other Person or group acquires more than 50% of the outstanding shares of Common Stock (not including any shares of Common Stock held by the other Person or other Persons making or party to, or associated or affiliated with the other Persons making or party to, such stock or share Settlement Agreement or other business combination) (each a “Fundamental Transaction”), then, upon any subsequent exercise of the Right, First Choice shall have the right to receive, for each Rights Share that would have been issuable upon such exercise immediately prior to the occurrence of such Fundamental Transaction, at the option of First Choice (without regard to any limitation in Section 2.7 on the exercise of the Right), the number of shares of Common Stock of the successor or acquiring corporation or of the Company, if it is the surviving corporation, and any additional consideration (the “Alternate Consideration”) receivable as a result of such Fundamental Transaction by a holder of one share of Common Stock. Upon the occurrence of any such Fundamental Transaction, the successor entity in a Fundamental Transaction in which the Company is not the survivor (the “Successor Entity”) shall succeed to, and be substituted for (so that from and after the date of such Fundamental Transaction, the provisions of this Agreement and the other Transaction Documents referring to the “Company” shall refer instead to the Successor Entity), and may exercise every right and power of the Company and shall assume all of the obligations of the Company under this Agreement and the other Transaction Documents with the same effect as if such Successor Entity had been named as the Company herein.

 

Section 3.5 Notice to Allow Exercise of Right. If (A) the Company shall declare a dividend (or any other distribution in whatever form) on the Common Stock, (B) the Company shall declare a special nonrecurring cash dividend on or a redemption of the Common Stock, (C) the Company shall authorize the granting to all holders of the Common Stock rights or warrants to subscribe for or purchase any shares of capital stock of any class or of any rights, (D) the approval of any stockholders of the Company shall be required in connection with any reclassification of the Common Stock, any consolidation or merger to which the Company is a party, any sale or transfer of all or substantially all of the assets of the Company, or any compulsory share exchange whereby the Common Stock is converted into other securities, cash or property, or (E) the Company shall authorize the voluntary or involuntary dissolution, liquidation or winding up of the affairs of the Company, then, in each case, the Company shall cause to be mailed to First Choice at its address on the signature page to the Purchase Agreement, at least twenty (20) calendar days prior to the applicable record or effective date hereinafter specified, a notice stating (x) the date on which a record is to be taken for the purpose of such dividend, distribution, redemption, rights or warrants, or if a record is not to be taken, the date as of which the holders of the Common Stock of record to be entitled to such dividend, distributions, redemption, rights or warrants are to be determined or (y) the date on which such reclassification, consolidation, merger, sale, transfer or share exchange is expected to become effective or close, and the date as of which it is expected that holders of the Common Stock of record shall be entitled to exchange their shares of the Common Stock for securities, cash or other property deliverable upon such reclassification, consolidation, merger, sale, transfer or share exchange; provided that the failure to mail such notice or any defect therein or in the mailing thereof shall not affect the validity of the corporate action required to be specified in such notice. To the extent that any notice provided hereunder constitutes, or contains, material, non-public information regarding the Company or any of the Subsidiaries, the Company shall simultaneously file such notice with the Commission pursuant to a Current Report on Form 8-K. First Choice shall remain entitled to exercise the Right during the period commencing on the date of such notice to the effective date of the event triggering such notice except as may otherwise be expressly set forth herein.

Section 4. Transfer of Right.

 

Section 4.1 Transferability. Subject to compliance with any applicable securities laws of the United States or any state thereof and to the applicable provisions of the Settlement Agreement, the Right and all rights hereunder (including, without limitation, any registration rights) are transferable, in whole or in part, upon written assignment substantially in the form attached hereto duly executed by First Choice or its agent or attorney and funds sufficient to pay any transfer taxes payable upon the making of such transfer of this Agreement delivered to the principal office of the Company or its designated agent. Upon such assignment and, if required, such payment, the Company shall enter into a new agreement with the assignee or assignees, as applicable, and this Agreement shall promptly be cancelled. The Right, if properly assigned in accordance herewith, may be exercised by a new holder for the issue of Rights Shares without having a new agreement executed.

 

Section 4.2 Division of Rights. The Right may be divided or combined with other rights upon presentation hereof at the aforesaid office of the Company, together with a written notice specifying the names and denominations in which such Rights are to be granted, signed by First Choice or its agent or attorney.

 

Section 5. Reserved.

 

Section 6. Effect on Transaction Documents. This Agreement shall be deemed for all purposes as a Transaction Document (as defined in the Settlement Agreement) and all representations and warranties made by the Company and First Choice shall apply with respect to this Agreement.

 

Section 7. Miscellaneous.

 

Section 7.1 No Rights as Stockholder Until Exercise. This Agreement does not entitle First Choice to any voting rights, dividends or other rights as a stockholder of the Company prior to the exercise hereof as set forth in Section 2.

 

Section 7.2 Saturdays, Sundays, Holidays, etc. If the last or appointed day for the taking of any action or the expiration of any right required or granted herein shall not be a Business Day, then, such action may be taken or such right may be exercised on the next succeeding Business Day.

 

Section 7.3 Authorized Shares. The Company covenants that, during the period the Right is outstanding, it will reserve from its authorized and unissued Common Stock a sufficient number of shares to provide for the issuance of the Rights Shares upon the exercise of the Right. The Company further covenants that its issuance of the Right shall constitute full authority to its officers who are charged with the duty of executing stock certificates to execute and issue the necessary certificates for the Rights Shares upon the due exercise of the Right. The Company will take all such reasonable action as may be necessary to assure that such Rights Shares may be issued as provided herein without violation of any applicable law or regulation, or of any requirements of the trading market upon which the Common Stock may be listed or quoted. The Company covenants that all Rights Shares which may be issued upon the exercise of the Right represented by this Agreement will, upon exercise of the Right, be duly authorized, validly issued, fully paid and nonassessable and free from all taxes, liens and charges created by the Company in respect of the issue thereof (other than taxes in respect of any transfer occurring contemporaneously with such issue). Except and to the extent as waived or consented to by First Choice, the Company shall not by any action, including, without limitation, amending its certificate of incorporation or through any reorganization, transfer of assets, consolidation, merger, dissolution, issue or sale of securities or any other voluntary action, avoid or seek to avoid the observance or performance of any of the terms of this Agreement, but will at all times in good faith assist in the carrying out of all such terms and in the taking of all such actions as may be necessary or appropriate to protect the rights of First Choice as set forth in this Agreement against impairment. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the Company will (i) not increase the par value of any Rights Shares above the amount payable therefor upon such exercise immediately prior to such increase in par value, (ii) take all such action as may be necessary or appropriate in order that the Company may validly and legally issue fully paid and nonassessable Rights Shares upon the exercise of the Right and (iii) use commercially reasonable efforts to obtain all such authorizations, exemptions or consents from any public regulatory body having jurisdiction thereof, as may be, necessary to enable the Company to perform its obligations under this Agreement.

 

6

 

 

Before taking any action that would result in an adjustment in the number of Rights Shares for which the Right provides for, the Company shall obtain all such authorizations or exemptions thereof, or consents thereto, as may be necessary from any public regulatory body or bodies having jurisdiction thereof.

 

Section 7.4 Jurisdiction. All questions concerning the construction, validity, enforcement and interpretation of this Agreement shall be determined in accordance with the provisions of the Settlement Agreement.

9. Governing Law. This Agreement shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of the state of California.

 

10. Arbitration. Any dispute or claim arising out of or in connection with any provision of this Agreement will be finally settled by binding arbitration in the State of California, County of San Mateo. The arbitrator shall be selected, and the arbitration hearing conducted pursuant to the Commercial Arbitration Rules of the American Arbitration Association. The arbitrator shall apply California law, without reference to rules of conflicts of law or rules of statutory arbitration, to the resolution of any dispute. Judgment on the award rendered by the arbitrator may be entered in any court having jurisdiction thereof. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Parties may apply to any court of competent jurisdiction located within the State of California, County of San Mateo for preliminary or interim equitable relief, or to compel arbitration in accordance with this paragraph, without breach of this arbitration provision. If any court or arbitrator finds that any term makes this arbitration agreement unenforceable for any reason, the court or arbitrator shall have the power to modify such term to the minimum extent necessary to make this arbitration agreement enforceable and, to the extent this arbitration agreement as a whole is deemed unenforceable for any reason, the parties agree that the venue of any litigation or dispute between the parties shall be exclusively in San Mateo County, California.

 

11. Miscellaneous. This Agreement sets forth the entire and exclusive understanding of the parties with respect to the subject matter hereof and supersedes and merges all prior and contemporaneous agreements or understandings, whether written or oral, with respect to its subject matter. Any breach of Section 2, 3, or 8 will cause irreparable harm to Company for which damages would not be an adequate remedy, and therefore, Company will be entitled to injunctive relief with respect thereto in addition to any other remedies. The failure of either party to enforce its rights under this Agreement at any time for any period shall not be construed as a waiver of such rights. No changes or modifications or waivers to this Agreement will be effective unless in writing and signed by both parties. In the event that any provision of this Agreement shall be determined to be illegal or unenforceable, that provision will be limited or eliminated to the minimum extent necessary so that this Agreement shall otherwise remain in full force and effect and enforceable. In any action or proceeding to enforce rights under this Agreement, the prevailing party will be entitled to recover costs and attorneys’ fees. Headings herein are for convenience of reference only and shall in no way affect interpretation of the Agreement. This Agreement may be executed in counterparts, each of which will be deemed an original, but all of which together will constitute one and the same instrument.

 

12. Indemnification. Company agrees to indemnify, defend and hold harmless Consultant, including its affiliates and agents, against all losses, expenses, damages and costs, including reasonable attorneys’ fees, resulting from any act, action or omission, except for acts of Consultant of willful misconduct, bad faith or gross negligence, related to this Agreement. Subject to the limitation hereunder, Consultant agrees to indemnify, defend and hold harmless Company, its officers, directors, members, employees, affiliates and agents against all losses, expenses, damages and costs caused by Consultant’s willful misconduct, bad faith or gross negligence related to this Agreement.

Any liability of Consultant and its officers, directors, controlling persons, employees or agents related to this Agreement shall not exceed the compensation (which shall be measured on the date of issuance of the Shares (as defined in the Statement of Work)) paid to Consultant by Company pursuant to this Agreement.

FORM OF

 

Statement of Work

 

This Statement of Work is issued under and subject to all of the terms and conditions of the Consulting Agreement dated as of April 14, 2021 by and between Company and Consultant.

 

SERVICES

 

Company hereby engages Consultant as an advisor to management with respect to his knowledge and expertise on an as needed basis related to the Pre-Transaction Business (the “Services.”). Consultant shall be responsible for providing the Services to Zaman Khan and Vincent Loiacono, who shall be Consultant’s primary point of contact or such other persons as Company may specify during the term of this Agreement. The Services will be based, in whole or in part, upon information made available by Company to Consultant during this engagement

 

FEES /EXPENSES

 

Fees

In exchange for the Services provided during the term of this Agreement, Company shall issue to Consultant 1,250,000 restricted shares of Company’s common stock (the “Shares”) on the Effective Date valued at a price per share equal to $0.569.

 

The Shares are deemed and agreed to be a commencement incentive and consideration now due and owing for Consultant entering into this Agreement and performing Consultant’s duties during the term of this Agreement. Company acknowledges that as a result of Consultant’s services to Company prior to the Effective Date, Company may derive immediate benefit as a result of such services.

 

Consultant shall not be issued, at any time during the term or any extension thereof, such number of shares of common stock that would result in beneficial ownership by the Consultant and its affiliates of more than 9.99% of the outstanding shares of Company common stock.

 

Provided that restrictive legends may be removed in accordance with Rule 144, upon request of Consultant or its broker, Company agrees to take any and all action(s) necessary to remove such restrictive legends from the Shares awarded to Consultant pursuant to this Agreement, including, without limitation, (i) authorizing the Company’s transfer agent to remove the restrictive legend on the subject shares, (ii) expediting the acquisition of a legal opinion from Company’s authorized counsel at Company’s expense favorably opining as to the removal of the restrictive legend, and (iii) cooperating and communicating with Consultant and its broker in order to use the Company’s commercially reasonable best efforts to clear the subject shares of restriction as soon as possible after request by Consultant or its broker to either Company or its transfer agent. Further, Company agrees not to unreasonably withhold or delay approval of any request for removal of restrictive legends by Consultant or its broker in accordance with Rule 144.

 

Company (i) represents that its Board of Directors has approved this Agreement and that it will appropriately and timely disclose the issuance of the Shares in its SEC filing(s), if required by applicable securities laws; (ii) shall provide Consultant with a true and correct copy of Company’s board resolution authorizing the issuance of the Shares upon request; and (iii) represents and warrants that the Shares when issued to Consultant as compensation hereunder shall be validly issued, fully paid and non-assessable.

 

In connection with the issuance of the Shares to Consultant hereunder, as may be applicable, Company shall be responsible for any and all compliance with applicable securities laws, rules and regulations, including, without limitation, the Act as well as all applicable filing requirements under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (“Exchange Act”), and all state securities laws. Company recognizes and agrees that failure to timely make its Exchange Act filings will materially hinder the effectiveness of the Services and will constitute automatic grounds for cancellation by the Consultant and all compensation paid to Consultant up to and including the date of such failure shall be deemed fully earned by Consultant as of such date.

 

Consultant shall be entitled to the registration rights of the Holders (as such term is defined in the RRA) described in the Registration Rights Agreement in the form attached hereto as Exhibit A (the “RRA) and the Company agrees to register the Shares issued pursuant to this Agreement in accordance with the terms and conditions of the RRA.

 

Expenses

 

Company will reimburse Consultant for non-ordinary out of pocket expenses reasonably incurred by Consultant in connection with the performance of the Services. All reimbursable expenses must be pre-approved in writing by Company. An itemized expense statement must be submitted, including substantiating receipts, with monthly invoice, if applicable.

All questions concerning the construction, validity, enforcement and interpretation of this Agreement shall be governed by the internal laws of the State of Nevada, without giving effect to any choice of law or conflict of law provision or rule (whether of the State of Nevada or any other jurisdictions) that would cause the application of the laws of any jurisdictions other than the State of Nevada. The Company hereby irrevocably submits to the exclusive jurisdiction of the state and federal courts sitting in the State of Nevada, for the adjudication of any dispute hereunder or in connection herewith or with any transaction contemplated hereby, and hereby irrevocably waives, and agrees not to assert in any suit, action or proceeding, any claim that it is not personally subject to the jurisdiction of any such court, that such suit, action or proceeding is brought in an inconvenient forum or that the venue of such suit, action or proceeding is improper. Each party hereby irrevocably waives personal service of process and consents to process being served in any such suit, action or proceeding by mailing a copy thereof to such party at the address for such 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. Nothing contained herein shall be deemed or operate to preclude Service Provider from bringing suit or taking other legal action against the Company in any other jurisdiction to collect on the Company’s obligations to Service Provider or to enforce a judgment or other court ruling in favor of Service Provider. EACH PARTY HEREBY IRREVOCABLY WAIVES ANY RIGHT IT MAY HAVE TO, AND AGREES NOT TO REQUEST, A JURY TRIAL FOR THE ADJUDICATION OF ANY DISPUTE HEREUNDER OR IN CONNECTION WITH OR ARISING OUT OF THIS AGREEMENT, OR ANY TRANSACTION CONTEMPLATED HEREBY.

 

(b) Counterparts. This Agreement may be executed in two or more identical counterparts, all of which shall be considered one and the same agreement and shall become effective when counterparts have been signed by each party and delivered to the other party. In the event that any signature is delivered by facsimile transmission or by an e-mail which contains a portable document format (.pdf) file of an executed signature page, such signature page shall create a valid and binding obligation of the party executing (or on whose behalf such signature is executed) with the same force and effect as if such signature page were an original thereof.

 

(c) Headings; Gender. The headings of this Agreement are for convenience of reference and shall not form part of, or affect the interpretation of, this Agreement. Unless the context clearly indicates otherwise, each pronoun herein shall be deemed to include the masculine, feminine, neuter, singular and plural forms thereof. The terms “including,” “includes,” “include” and words of like import shall be construed broadly as if followed by the words “without limitation.” The terms “herein,” “hereunder,” “hereof” and words of like import refer to this entire Agreement instead of just the provision in which they are found.

(d) Severability. If any provision of this Agreement is prohibited by law or otherwise determined to be invalid or unenforceable by a court of competent jurisdiction, the provision that would otherwise be prohibited, invalid or unenforceable shall be deemed amended to apply to the broadest extent that it would be valid and enforceable, and the invalidity or unenforceability of such provision shall not affect the validity of the remaining provisions of this Agreement so long as this Agreement as so modified continues to express, without material change, the original intentions of the parties as to the subject matter hereof and the prohibited nature, invalidity or unenforceability of the provision(s) in question does not substantially impair the respective expectations or reciprocal obligations of the parties or the practical realization of the benefits that would otherwise be conferred upon the parties. The parties will endeavor in good faith negotiations to replace the prohibited, invalid or unenforceable provision(s) with a valid provision(s), the effect of which comes as close as possible to that of the prohibited, invalid or unenforceable provision(s).

 

(e) Entire Agreement; Amendments. This Agreement supersedes all other prior oral or written agreements between Service Provider and the Company and contains the entire understanding of the parties solely with respect to the matters covered herein except as set forth in the other Transaction Documents.

(c) Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement and subject to the payment of liquidated damages pursuant to Section 2(d), if the Commission or any SEC Guidance sets forth a limitation on the number of Registrable Securities permitted to be registered on a particular Registration Statement as a secondary offering (and notwithstanding that the Company used commercially reasonable efforts to advocate with the Commission for the registration of all or a greater portion of Registrable Securities), unless otherwise directed in writing by a Holder as to its Registrable Securities, the number of Registrable Securities to be registered on such Registration Statement will be reduced on a pro rata basis based on the total number of unregistered Shares held by such Holders. In the event of a cutback hereunder, the Company shall give each Holder at least five (5) Trading Days prior written notice along with the calculations as to such Holder’s allotment. In the event the Company amends the Initial Registration Statement in accordance with the foregoing, the Company will use its best efforts to file with the Commission, as promptly as allowed by Commission or SEC Guidance provided to the Company or to registrants of securities in general, one or more registration statements on Form S-3 or such Form S-1 to register for resale those Registrable Securities that were not registered for resale on the Initial Registration Statement, as amended.

 

(d) If: except as otherwise set forth under Section 6(e)(ii), (i) the Initial Registration Statement is not filed on or prior to its Filing Date (if the Company files the Initial Registration Statement without affording the Holders the opportunity to review and comment on the same as required by Section 3(a) herein, the Company shall be deemed to have not satisfied this clause (i)), or (ii) the Company fails to file with the Commission a request for acceleration of a Registration Statement in accordance with Rule 461 promulgated by the Commission pursuant to the Securities Act, within five (5) Trading Days of the date that the Company is notified (orally or in writing, whichever is earlier) by the Commission that such Registration Statement will not be “reviewed” or will not be subject to further review, or (iii) a Registration Statement registering for resale all of the Registrable Securities is not declared effective by the Commission by the Effectiveness Date of the Initial Registration Statement, or (iv) after the effective date of a Registration Statement, such Registration Statement ceases for any reason to remain continuously effective as to all Registrable Securities included in such Registration Statement, or the Holders are otherwise not permitted to utilize the Prospectus therein to resell such Registrable Securities, for more than ten (10) consecutive calendar days or more than an aggregate of thirty (30) calendar days (which need not be consecutive calendar days) during any twelve (12)-month period (any such failure or breach being referred to as an “Event,” and for purposes of clauses (i) and (iii), the date on which such Event occurs, and for purpose of clause (ii) the date on which such five (5) Trading Day period is exceeded, and for purpose of clause (iv) the date on which such ten (10) or thirty (30) calendar day period, as applicable, is exceeded being referred to as “Event Date”), then, in addition to any other rights the Holders may have hereunder or under applicable law, on each such Event Date and on each monthly anniversary of each such Event Date (if the applicable Event shall not have been cured by such date) until the applicable Event is cured, the Company shall pay to each Holder an amount in cash, as partial liquidated damages and not as a penalty, equal to the product of One and One-Half Percent (1.5%) multiplied by the Holder’s Share Value set forth on Schedule 1 beside such Holder’s name. If the Company fails to pay any partial liquidated damages pursuant to this Section in full within seven (7) days after the date payable, the Company will pay interest thereon at a rate of Eighteen Percent (18%) per annum (or such lesser maximum amount that is permitted to be paid by applicable law) to the Holder, accruing daily from the date such partial liquidated damages are due until such amounts, plus all such interest thereon, are paid in full. The partial liquidated damages pursuant to the terms hereof shall apply on a daily pro rata basis for any portion of a month prior to the cure of an Event.

3. Registration Procedures.

 

In connection with the Company’s registration obligations hereunder, the Company shall:

 

(a) Not less than three (3) Trading Days prior to the filing of each Registration Statement and not less than one (1) Trading Day prior to the filing of any related Prospectus or any amendment or supplement thereto (including any document that would be incorporated or deemed to be incorporated therein by reference), the Company shall (i) furnish to each Holder copies of all such documents proposed to be filed, which documents (other than those incorporated or deemed to be incorporated by reference) will be subject to the review of such Holders, and (ii) cause its officers and directors, counsel and independent registered public accountants to respond to such inquiries as shall be necessary, in the reasonable opinion of respective counsel to each Holder, to conduct a reasonable investigation within the meaning of the Securities Act. Notwithstanding the above, the Company shall not be obligated to provide the Holders advance copies of any universal shelf registration statement registering securities in addition to those required hereunder, or any Prospectus prepared thereto. The Company shall not file a Registration Statement or any such Prospectus or any amendments or supplements thereto to which the Holders of a majority of the Registrable Securities shall reasonably object in good faith, provided that, the Company is notified of such objection in writing no later than three (3) Trading Days after the Holders have been so furnished copies of a Registration Statement or one (1) Trading Day after the Holders have been so furnished copies of any related Prospectus or amendments or supplements thereto. Each Holder agrees to furnish to the Company a completed questionnaire in the form attached to this Agreement as Annex B (a “Selling Stockholder Questionnaire”) on a date that is not less than two (2) Trading Days prior to the Filing Date or by the end of the third (3rd) Trading Day following the date on which such Holder receives draft materials in accordance with this Section.

 

(b) (i) Prepare and file with the Commission such amendments, including post-effective amendments, to a Registration Statement and the Prospectus used in connection therewith as may be necessary to keep a Registration Statement continuously effective as to the applicable Registrable Securities for the Effectiveness Period and prepare and file with the Commission such additional Registration Statements in order to register for resale under the Securities Act all of the Registrable Securities, (ii) cause the related Prospectus to be amended or supplemented by any required Prospectus supplement (subject to the terms of this Agreement), and, as so supplemented or amended, to be filed pursuant to Rule 424, (iii) respond as promptly as reasonably possible to any comments received from the Commission with respect to a Registration Statement or any amendment thereto and provide as promptly as reasonably possible to the Holders true and complete copies of all correspondence from and to the Commission relating to a Registration Statement (provided that, the Company shall excise any information contained therein which would constitute material non-public information regarding the Company or any of its subsidiaries), and (iv) comply in all material respects with the applicable provisions of the Securities Act and the Exchange Act with respect to the disposition of all Registrable Securities covered by a Registration Statement during the applicable period in accordance (subject to the terms of this Agreement) with the intended methods of disposition by the Holders thereof set forth in such Registration Statement as so amended or in such Prospectus as so supplemented.

 

(c) If during the Effectiveness Period, the number of Registrable Securities at any time exceeds 100% of the number of shares of Common Stock then registered in a Registration Statement, then the Company shall file as soon as reasonably practicable, but in any case, prior to the applicable Filing Date, an additional Registration Statement covering the resale by the Holders of not less than the number of such Registrable Securities.

 

6 

 

 

(d) Notify the Holders of Registrable Securities to be sold (which notice shall, pursuant to clauses (iii) through (vi) hereof, be accompanied by an instruction to suspend the use of the Prospectus until the requisite changes have been made) as promptly as reasonably possible (and, in the case of (i)(A) below, not less than one (1) Trading Day prior to such filing) and (if requested by any such Person) confirm such notice in writing no later than one (1) Trading Day following the day (i)(A) when a Prospectus or any Prospectus supplement or post-effective amendment to a Registration Statement is proposed to be filed, (B) when the Commission notifies the Company whether there will be a “review” of such Registration Statement and whenever the Commission comments in writing on such Registration Statement, and (C) with respect to a Registration Statement or any post-effective amendment, when the same has become effective, (ii) of any request by the Commission or any other federal or state governmental authority for amendments or supplements to a Registration Statement or Prospectus or for additional information, (iii) of the issuance by the Commission or any other federal or state governmental authority of any stop order suspending the effectiveness of a Registration Statement covering any or all of the Registrable Securities or the initiation of any Proceedings for that purpose, (iv) of the receipt by the Company of any notification with respect to the suspension of the qualification or exemption from qualification of any of the Registrable Securities for sale in any jurisdiction, or the initiation or threatening of any Proceeding for such purpose, (v) of the occurrence of any event or passage of time that makes the financial statements included in a Registration Statement ineligible for inclusion therein or any statement made in a Registration Statement or Prospectus or any document incorporated or deemed to be incorporated therein by reference untrue in any material respect or that requires any revisions to a Registration Statement, Prospectus or other documents so that, in the case of a Registration Statement or the Prospectus, as the case may be, it will not contain any untrue statement of a material fact or omit to state any material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein, in light of the circumstances under which they were made, not misleading, and (vi) of the occurrence or existence of any pending corporate development with respect to the Company that the Company believes may be material and that, in the determination of the Company, makes it not in the best interest of the Company to allow continued availability of a Registration Statement or Prospectus, providedhowever, in no event shall any such notice contain any information which would constitute material, non-public information regarding the Company or any of its subsidiaries. 

 

(e) Use its best efforts to avoid the issuance of, or, if issued, obtain the withdrawal of (i) any order stopping or suspending the effectiveness of a Registration Statement, or (ii) any suspension of the qualification (or exemption from qualification) of any of the Registrable Securities for sale in any jurisdiction, at the earliest practicable moment.

 

(f) Furnish to each Holder, without charge, at least one conformed copy of each such Registration Statement and each amendment thereto, including financial statements and schedules, all documents incorporated or deemed to be incorporated therein by reference to the extent requested by such Person, and all exhibits to the extent requested by such Person (including those previously furnished or incorporated by reference) promptly after the filing of such documents with the Commission; provided, that any such item available on the EDGAR system (or successor thereto) need not be furnished in physical form.

 

(g) Subject to the terms of this Agreement, the Company hereby consents to the use of such Prospectus and each amendment or supplement thereto by each of the selling Holders in connection with the offering and sale of the Registrable Securities covered by such Prospectus and any amendment or supplement thereto, except after the giving of any notice pursuant to Section 3(d).

 

7 

 

 

(h) The Company shall cooperate with any broker-dealer through which a Holder proposes to resell its Registrable Securities in effecting a filing with the FINRA Corporate Financing Department pursuant to FINRA Rule 5110, as requested by any such Holder, and the Company shall pay the filing fee required by such filing within two (2) Trading Days of request therefor.

 

(i) Prior to any resale of Registrable Securities by a Holder, use its commercially reasonable efforts to register or qualify or cooperate with the selling Holders in connection with the registration or qualification (or exemption from the Registration or qualification) of such Registrable Securities for the resale by the Holder under the securities or ‘Blue Sky’ laws of such jurisdictions within the United States as any Holder reasonably requests in writing, to keep each registration or qualification (or exemption therefrom) effective during the Effectiveness Period and to do any and all other acts or things reasonably necessary to enable the disposition in such jurisdictions of the Registrable Securities covered by each Registration Statement; provided, that, the Company shall not be required to qualify generally to do business in any jurisdiction where it is not then so qualified, subject the Company to any material tax in any such jurisdiction where it is not then so subject or file a general consent to service of process in any such jurisdiction.

 

(j) If requested by a Holder, cooperate with such Holder to facilitate the timely preparation and delivery of certificates representing Registrable Securities to be delivered to a transferee pursuant to a Registration Statement, which certificates shall be free, to the extent permitted by the Share Acquisition Agreement, of all restrictive legends, and to enable such Registrable Securities to be in such denominations and registered in such names as any such Holder may request.

 

(k) Upon the occurrence of any event contemplated by Section 3(d), as promptly as reasonably possible under the circumstances taking into account the Company’s good faith assessment of any adverse consequences to the Company and its stockholders of the premature disclosure of such event, prepare a supplement or amendment, including a post-effective amendment, to a Registration Statement or a supplement to the related Prospectus or any document incorporated or deemed to be incorporated therein by reference, and file any other required document so that, as thereafter delivered, neither a Registration Statement nor such Prospectus will contain an untrue statement of a material fact or omit to state a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein, in light of the circumstances under which they were made, not misleading. If the Company notifies the Holders in accordance with clauses (iii) through (vi) of Section 3(d) above to suspend the use of any Prospectus until the requisite changes to such Prospectus have been made, then the Holders shall suspend use of such Prospectus. The Company will use its best efforts to ensure that the use of the Prospectus may be resumed as promptly as is practicable. The Company shall be entitled to exercise its right under this Section 3(k) to suspend the availability of a Registration Statement and Prospectus, subject to the payment of partial liquidated damages otherwise required pursuant to Section 2(d), for a period not to exceed sixty (60) calendar days (which need not be consecutive days) in any twelve (12)-month period.

  

(l) Comply with all applicable rules and regulations of the Commission.

 

8 

 

 

(m) The Company may require each selling Holder to furnish to the Company a certified statement as to the number of shares of Common Stock beneficially owned by such Holder and, if required by the Commission, the natural persons thereof that have voting and dispositive control over the shares. During any periods that the Company is unable to meet its obligations hereunder with respect to the registration of the Registrable Securities solely because any Holder fails to furnish such information within three (3) Trading Days of the Company’s request, any liquidated damages that are accruing at such time as to such Holder only shall be tolled and any Event that may otherwise occur solely because of such delay shall be suspended as to such Holder only, until such information is delivered to the Company.

 

4. Registration Expenses. All fees and expenses incident to the performance of or compliance with this Agreement by the Company shall be borne by the Company whether or not any Registrable Securities are sold pursuant to a Registration Statement. The fees and expenses referred to in the foregoing sentence shall include, without limitation, (i) all registration and filing fees (including, without limitation, fees and expenses of the Company’s counsel and independent registered public accountants and reasonable fees of one counsel for the Holders) (A) with respect to filings made with the Commission, (B) with respect to filings required to be made with any Trading Market on which the Common Stock is then listed for trading, (C) in compliance with applicable state securities or Blue Sky laws reasonably agreed to by the Company in writing (including, without limitation, fees and disbursements of counsel for the Company in connection with Blue Sky qualifications or exemptions of the Registrable Securities) and (D) if not previously paid by the Company in connection with an Issuer Filing, with respect to any filing that may be required to be made by any broker through which a Holder intends to make sales of Registrable Securities with FINRA pursuant to FINRA Rule 5110, so long as the broker is receiving no more than a customary brokerage commission in connection with such sale, (ii) printing expenses (including, without limitation, expenses of printing certificates for Registrable Securities), (iii) messenger, telephone and delivery expenses, (iv) fees and disbursements of counsel for the Company, (v) Securities Act liability insurance, if the Company so desires such insurance, and (vi) fees and expenses of all other Persons retained by the Company in connection with the consummation of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement. In addition, the Company shall be responsible for all of its internal expenses incurred in connection with the consummation of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement (including, without limitation, all salaries and expenses of its officers and employees performing legal or accounting duties), the expense of any annual audit and the fees and expenses incurred in connection with the listing of the Registrable Securities on any securities exchange as required hereunder. In no event shall the Company be responsible for any broker or similar commissions of any Holder or, except to the extent provided for hereinabove or in the Transaction Documents, any legal fees or other costs of the Holders.

 

5. Indemnification.

 

(a) Indemnification by the Company. The Company shall, notwithstanding any termination of this Agreement, indemnify and hold harmless each Holder, the officers, directors, members, partners, agents, brokers (including brokers who offer and sell Registrable Securities as principal as a result of a pledge or any failure to perform under a margin call of Common Stock), investment advisors and employees (and any other Persons with a functionally equivalent role of a Person holding such titles, notwithstanding a lack of such title or any other title) of each of them, each Person who controls any such Holder (within the meaning of Section 15 of the Securities Act or Section 20 of the Exchange Act) and the officers, directors, members, stockholders, partners, agents and employees (and any other Persons with a functionally equivalent role of a Person holding such titles, notwithstanding a lack of such title or any other title) of each such controlling Person, to the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, from and against any and all losses, claims, damages, liabilities, costs (including, without limitation, reasonable attorneys’ fees) and expenses (collectively, “Losses”), as incurred, arising out of or relating to (1) any untrue or alleged untrue statement of a material fact contained in a Registration Statement, any Prospectus or any form of prospectus or in any amendment or supplement thereto or in any preliminary prospectus, or arising out of or relating to any omission or alleged omission of a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein (in the case of any Prospectus or supplement thereto, in light of the circumstances under which they were made) not misleading or (2) any violation or alleged violation by the Company of the Securities Act, the Exchange Act or any state securities law, or any rule or regulation thereunder, in connection with the performance of its obligations under this Agreement, except to the extent, but only to the extent, that (i) such untrue statements or omissions are based solely upon information regarding such Holder furnished in writing to the Company by such Holder expressly for use therein, or to the extent that such information relates to such Holder or such Holder’s proposed method of distribution of Registrable Securities and was reviewed and expressly approved in writing by such Holder expressly for use in a Registration Statement, such Prospectus or in any amendment or supplement thereto (it being understood that the Holder has approved Annex A hereto for this purpose) or (ii) in the case of an occurrence of an event of the type specified in Section 3(d)(iii)-(vi), the use by such Holder of an outdated, defective or otherwise unavailable Prospectus after the Company has notified such Holder in writing that the Prospectus is outdated, defective or otherwise unavailable for use by such Holder and prior to the receipt by such Holder of the Advice contemplated in Section 6(d), but only if and to the extent that following the receipt of the Advice the misstatement or omission giving rise to such Loss would have been corrected. The Company shall notify the Holders promptly of the institution, threat or assertion of any ‘Proceeding’ arising from or in connection with the transactions contemplated by this Agreement of which the Company is aware. Such indemnity shall remain in full force and effect regardless of any investigation made by or on behalf of such indemnified person and shall survive the transfer of any Registrable Securities by any of the Holders in accordance with Section 6(h).

(b) Indemnification by Holders. Each Holder shall, severally and not jointly, indemnify and hold harmless the Company, its directors, officers, agents and employees, each Person who controls the Company (within the meaning of Section 15 of the Securities Act and Section 20 of the Exchange Act), and the directors, officers, agents or employees of such controlling Persons, to the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, from and against all Losses, as incurred, to the extent arising out of or based solely upon: (x) such Holder’s failure to comply with any applicable prospectus delivery requirements of the Securities Act through no fault of the Company or (y) any untrue or alleged untrue statement of a material fact contained in any Registration Statement, any Prospectus, or in any amendment or supplement thereto or in any preliminary prospectus, or arising out of or relating to any omission or alleged omission of a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein (in the case of any Prospectus or supplement thereto, in light of the circumstances under which they were made) not misleading (i) to the extent, but only to the extent, that such untrue statement or omission is contained in any information so furnished in writing by such Holder to the Company expressly for inclusion in such Registration Statement or such Prospectus or (ii) to the extent, but only to the extent, that such information relates to such Holder’s proposed method of distribution of Registrable Securities and was reviewed and expressly approved in writing by such Holder expressly for use in a Registration Statement (it being understood that the Holder has approved Annex A hereto for this purpose), such Prospectus or in any amendment or supplement thereto or (iii) in the case of an occurrence of an event of the type specified in Section 3(d)(iii)-(vi), to the extent, but only to the extent, related to the use by such Holder of an outdated, defective or otherwise unavailable Prospectus after the Company has notified such Holder in writing that the Prospectus is outdated, defective or otherwise unavailable for use by such Holder and prior to the receipt by such Holder of the Advice contemplated in Section 6(d), but only if and to the extent that following the receipt of the Advice the misstatement or omission giving rise to such Loss would have been corrected. In no event shall the liability of any selling Holder under this Section 5(b) be greater in amount than the dollar amount of the net proceeds received by such Holder upon the sale of the Registrable Securities giving rise to such indemnification obligation.

 

(c) Conduct of Indemnification Proceedings. If any Proceeding shall be brought or asserted against any Person entitled to indemnity hereunder (an “Indemnified Party”), such Indemnified Party shall promptly notify the Person from whom indemnity is sought (the “Indemnifying Party”) in writing, and the Indemnifying Party shall have the right to assume the defense thereof, including the employment of counsel reasonably satisfactory to the Indemnified Party and the payment of all fees and expenses incurred in connection with defense thereof; provided, that, the failure of any Indemnified Party to give such notice shall not relieve the Indemnifying Party of its obligations or liabilities pursuant to this Agreement, except (and only) to the extent that it shall be finally determined by a court of competent jurisdiction (which determination is not subject to appeal or further review) that such failure shall have materially and adversely prejudiced the Indemnifying Party.

 

10 

 

 

 

An Indemnified Party shall have the right to employ separate counsel in any such Proceeding and to participate in the defense thereof, but the fees and expenses of such counsel shall be at the expense of such Indemnified Party or Parties unless: (1) the Indemnifying Party has agreed in writing to pay such fees and expenses, (2) the Indemnifying Party shall have failed promptly to assume the defense of such Proceeding and to employ counsel reasonably satisfactory to such Indemnified Party in any such Proceeding, or (3) the named parties to any such Proceeding (including any impleaded parties) include both such Indemnified Party and the Indemnifying Party, and counsel to the Indemnified Party shall reasonably believe that a material conflict of interest is likely to exist if the same counsel were to represent such Indemnified Party and the Indemnifying Party (in which case, if such Indemnified Party notifies the Indemnifying Party in writing that it elects to employ separate counsel at the expense of the Indemnifying Party, the Indemnifying Party shall not have the right to assume the defense thereof and the reasonable fees and expenses of no more than one separate counsel shall be at the expense of the Indemnifying Party). The Indemnifying Party shall not be liable for any settlement of any such Proceeding effected without its written consent, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed. No Indemnifying Party shall, without the prior written consent of the Indemnified Party, effect any settlement of any pending Proceeding in respect of which any Indemnified Party is a party, unless such settlement includes an unconditional release of such Indemnified Party from all liability on claims that are the subject matter of such Proceeding.

 

Subject to the terms of this Agreement, all reasonable fees and expenses of the Indemnified Party (including reasonable fees and expenses to the extent incurred in connection with investigating or preparing to defend such Proceeding in a manner not inconsistent with this Section) shall be paid to the Indemnified Party, as incurred, within ten (10) Trading Days of written notice thereof to the Indemnifying Party; provided, that, the Indemnified Party shall promptly reimburse the Indemnifying Party for that portion of such fees and expenses applicable to such actions for which such Indemnified Party is finally determined by a court of competent jurisdiction (which determination is not subject to appeal or further review) not to be entitled to indemnification hereunder.

 

(d) Contribution. If the indemnification under Section 5(a) or 5(b) is unavailable to an Indemnified Party or insufficient to hold an Indemnified Party harmless for any Losses, then each Indemnifying Party shall contribute to the amount paid or payable by such Indemnified Party, in such proportion as is appropriate to reflect the relative fault of the Indemnifying Party and Indemnified Party in connection with the actions, statements or omissions that resulted in such Losses as well as any other relevant equitable considerations. The relative fault of such Indemnifying Party and Indemnified Party shall be determined by reference to, among other things, whether any action in question, including any untrue or alleged untrue statement of a material fact or omission or alleged omission of a material fact, has been taken or made by, or relates to information supplied by, such Indemnifying Party or Indemnified Party, and the parties’ relative intent, knowledge, access to information and opportunity to correct or prevent such action, statement or omission. The amount paid or payable by a party as a result of any Losses shall be deemed to include, subject to the limitations set forth in this Agreement, any reasonable attorneys’ or other fees or expenses incurred by such party in connection with any Proceeding to the extent such party would have been indemnified for such fees or expenses if the indemnification provided for in this Section was available to such party in accordance with its terms.

 

11 

 

 

The parties hereto agree that it would not be just and equitable if contribution pursuant to this Section 5(d) were determined by pro rata allocation or by any other method of allocation that does not take into account the equitable considerations referred to in the immediately preceding paragraph. Notwithstanding the provisions of this Section 5(d), no Holder shall be required to contribute pursuant to this Section 5(d), in the aggregate, any amount in excess of the amount by which the net proceeds actually received by such Holder from the sale of the Registrable Securities subject to the Proceeding exceeds the amount of any damages that such Holder has otherwise been required to pay by reason of such untrue or alleged untrue statement or omission or alleged omission.

 

The indemnity and contribution agreements contained in this Section are in addition to any liability that the Indemnifying Parties may have to the Indemnified Parties.

 

6. Miscellaneous.

 

(a) Remedies. In the event of a breach by the Company or by a Holder of any of their respective obligations under this Agreement, each Holder or the Company, as the case may be, in addition to being entitled to exercise all rights granted by law and under this Agreement, including recovery of damages, shall be entitled to specific performance of its rights under this Agreement. Each of the Company and each Holder agrees that monetary damages would not provide adequate compensation for any losses incurred by reason of a breach by it of any of the provisions of this Agreement and hereby further agrees that, in the event of any action for specific performance in respect of such breach, it shall not assert or shall waive the defense that a remedy at law would be adequate.

  

(b) Intentionally Omitted.

 

(c) Compliance. Each Holder covenants and agrees that it will comply with the prospectus delivery requirements of the Securities Act as applicable to it (unless an exemption therefrom is available) in connection with sales of Registrable Securities pursuant to a Registration Statement.

 

(d) Discontinued Disposition. By its acquisition of Registrable Securities, each Holder agrees that, upon receipt of a notice from the Company of the occurrence of any event of the kind described in Section 3(d)(iii) through (vi), such Holder will forthwith discontinue disposition of such Registrable Securities under a Registration Statement until it is advised in writing (the “Advice”) by the Company that the use of the applicable Prospectus (as it may have been supplemented or amended) may be resumed. The Company will use its best efforts to ensure that the use of the Prospectus may be resumed as promptly as is practicable. The Company agrees and acknowledges that any periods during which the Holder is required to discontinue the disposition of the Registrable Securities hereunder shall be subject to the provisions of Section 2(d).

 

12 

 

 

(e) Piggy-Back Registrations.

 

(i) If, at any time during the Effectiveness Period, there is not an effective Registration Statement covering all of the Registrable Securities (“Excluded Registrable Securities”) and 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 any of its equity securities, other than on Form S-4 or Form S-8 (each as promulgated under the Securities Act) 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 the Company’s stock option or other employee benefit plans, then the Company shall deliver to each Holder a written notice of such determination and, if within fifteen (15) days after the date of the delivery of such notice, any such Holder shall so request in writing, the Company shall include in such registration statement all or any part of such Registrable Securities such Holder requests to be registered (“Piggyback Registration”).

 

(ii) If a Piggyback Registration is an underwritten secondary registration on behalf of holders of the Company’s securities, or a resale registration on behalf of holders of the Company’s securities acquired in connection with the Bridge Financing and the managing underwriters or placement agent advises the Company in writing that in their opinion the number of securities requested to be included in such registration exceeds the number which can be sold in such offering without adversely affecting the marketability of the offering, the Company will (1) include in such registration a pro rata share of Excluded Registrable Securities requested to be included in such registration statement as calculated by dividing the number of Excluded Registrable Securities requested to be included in such registration statement by the number of the Company’s securities requested to be included in such registration statement by all selling security holders and/or (2) may require that the resale of the Registrable Securities upon registration will be subject to the terms of a ‘Leak Out’ agreement that has been approved by the Majority Holders. In such event, the holder of Excluded Registrable Securities shall continue to have registration rights under this Agreement with respect to any Excluded Registrable Securities not so included in such registration statement.

 

(iii) Notwithstanding the foregoing, if, at any time after giving a notice of Piggyback Registration and prior to the effective date of the registration statement filed in connection with such registration, the Company shall determine for any reason not to register or to delay registration of such securities, the Company may, at its election, give written notice of such determination to each record holder of Excluded Registrable Securities and, following such notice, (i) in the case of a determination not to register, shall be relieved of its obligation to register any Excluded Registrable Securities in connection with such registration, and (ii) in the case of determination to delay registering, shall be permitted to delay registering any Excluded Registrable Securities for the same period as the delay in registering such other securities.

 

(f) Amendments and Waivers. The provisions of this Agreement, including the provisions of this sentence, may not be amended, modified or supplemented, and waivers or consents to departures from the provisions hereof may not be given, unless the same shall be in writing and signed by the Company and the Majority Holders. If a Registration Statement does not register all of the Registrable Securities pursuant to a waiver or amendment done in compliance with the previous sentence, then the number of Registrable Securities to be registered for each Holder shall be reduced pro rata among all Holders and each Holder shall have the right to designate which of its Registrable Securities shall be omitted from such Registration Statement. Notwithstanding the foregoing, a waiver or consent to depart from the provisions hereof with respect to a matter that relates exclusively to the rights of a Holder or some Holders and that does not directly or indirectly affect the rights of other Holders may be given only by such Holder or Holders of all of the Registrable Securities to which such waiver or consent relates; providedhowever, that the provisions of this sentence may not be amended, modified, or supplemented except in accordance with the provisions of the first sentence of this Section 6(f). No consideration shall be offered or paid to any Person to amend or consent to a waiver or modification of any provision of this Agreement unless the same consideration also is offered to all of the parties to this Agreement.

 

13 

 

 

(g) Notices. Any and all notices or other communications or deliveries required or permitted to be provided hereunder shall be delivered as set forth in the Share Acquisition Agreement.

 

(h) Successors and Assigns. This Agreement shall inure to the benefit of and be binding upon the successors and permitted assigns of each of the parties and shall inure to the benefit of each Holder. The Company may not assign (except by merger) its rights or obligations hereunder without the prior written consent of all of the Holders of the then outstanding Registrable Securities. Each Holder may assign their respective rights hereunder in the manner permitted under Share Acquisition Agreement applicable to such Holder.

 

(i) No Inconsistent Agreements. Neither the Company nor any of its subsidiaries has entered, as of the date hereof, nor shall the Company or any of its subsidiaries, on or after the date of this Agreement, enter into any agreement with respect to its securities, that would have the effect of impairing the rights granted to the Holders in this Agreement or otherwise conflicts with the provisions hereof. Neither the Company nor any of its subsidiaries has previously entered into any agreement granting any registration rights with respect to any of its securities to any Person that have not been satisfied in full.

 

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

 

(k) Governing Law. All questions concerning the construction, validity, enforcement and interpretation of this Agreement shall be governed by the internal laws of the State of Nevada, without giving effect to any choice of law or conflict of law provision or rule (whether of the State of Nevada or any other jurisdictions) that would cause the application of the laws of any jurisdictions other than the State of Nevada. The Company hereby irrevocably submits to the exclusive jurisdiction of the state and federal courts sitting in the State of Nevada, for the adjudication of any dispute hereunder or in connection herewith or with any transaction contemplated hereby, and hereby irrevocably waives, and agrees not to assert in any suit, action or proceeding, any claim that it is not personally subject to the jurisdiction of any such court, that such suit, action or proceeding is brought in an inconvenient forum or that the venue of such suit, action or proceeding is improper. Each party hereby irrevocably waives personal service of process and consents to process being served in any such suit, action or proceeding by mailing a copy thereof to such party at the address for such 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.

 

14 

 

 

(l) WAIVER OF JURY TRIAL. IN ANY ACTION, SUIT, OR PROCEEDING IN ANY JURISDICTION BROUGHT BY ANY PARTY AGAINST ANY OTHER PARTY, THE PARTIES EACH KNOWINGLY AND INTENTIONALLY, TO THE GREATEST EXTENT PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE LAW, HEREBY ABSOLUTELY, UNCONDITIONALLY, IRREVOCABLY AND EXPRESSLY WAIVES FOREVER ANY RIGHT TO TRIAL BY JURY.

 

(m) Cumulative Remedies. The remedies provided herein are cumulative and not exclusive of any other remedies provided by law.

 

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

 

(o) Headings. The headings in this Agreement are for convenience only, do not constitute a part of the Agreement and shall not be deemed to limit or affect any of the provisions hereof.

 

(p) Independent Nature of Holders’ Obligations and Rights. The obligations of each Holder hereunder are several and not joint with the obligations of any other Holder hereunder, and no Holder shall be responsible in any way for the performance of the obligations of any other Holder hereunder. Nothing contained herein or in any other agreement or document delivered at any closing, and no action taken by any Holder pursuant hereto or thereto, shall be deemed to constitute the Holders as a partnership, an association, a joint venture or any other kind of group or entity, or create a presumption that the Holders are in any way acting in concert or as a group or entity with respect to such obligations or the transactions contemplated by this Agreement or any other matters, and the Company acknowledges that the Holders are not acting in concert or as a group, and the Company shall not asset any such claim, with respect to such obligations or transactions. Each Holder shall be entitled to protect and enforce its rights, including without limitation the rights arising out of this Agreement, and it shall not be necessary for any other Holder to be joined as an additional party in any proceeding for such purpose. The use of a single agreement with respect to the obligations of the Company contained was solely in the control of the Company, not the action or decision of any Holder, and was done solely for the convenience of the Company and not because it was required or requested to do so by any Holder. It is expressly understood and agreed that each provision contained in this Agreement is between the Company and a Holder, solely, and not between the Company and the Holders collectively and not between and among Holders.

Exhibits, schedules and similar attachments have been omitted pursuant to Item 601 of Regulation S-K and the registrant undertakes to furnish supplemental copies of any of the omitted exhibits and schedules upon request by the SEC.

 

Annex A

 

Plan of Distribution

 

Each Selling Stockholder (the “Selling Stockholders”) of the securities and any of their pledgees, assignees and successors-in-interest may, from time-to-time, sell any or all of their securities covered hereby on the principal Trading Market or any other stock exchange, market or trading facility on which the securities are traded or in private transactions. These sales may be at fixed or negotiated prices. A Selling Stockholder may use any one or more of the following methods when selling securities:

 

  ordinary brokerage transactions and transactions in which the broker-dealer solicits Holders;

 

  block trades in which the broker-dealer will attempt to sell the securities as agent but may position and resell a portion of the block as principal to facilitate the transaction;

 

  purchases by a broker-dealer as principal and resale by the broker-dealer for its account;

 

  an exchange distribution in accordance with the rules of the applicable exchange;

 

  privately negotiated transactions;

 

  settlement of short sales;

 

  in transactions through broker-dealers that agree with the Selling Stockholders to sell a specified number of such securities at a stipulated price per security;

 

  through the writing or settlement of options or other hedging transactions, whether through an options exchange or otherwise;

 

  a combination of any such methods of sale; or

 

  any other method permitted pursuant to applicable law.

 

The Selling Stockholders may also sell securities under Rule 144 under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”), if available, rather than under this prospectus.

 

Broker-dealers engaged by the Selling Stockholders may arrange for other brokers-dealers to participate in sales. Broker-dealers may receive commissions or discounts from the Selling Stockholders (or, if any broker-dealer acts as agent for the Holder of securities, from the Holder) in amounts to be negotiated, except as set forth in a supplement to this Prospectus, in the case of an agency transaction not in excess of a customary brokerage commission in compliance with FINRA Rule 2440; and in the case of a principal transaction a markup or markdown in compliance with FINRA IM-2440.

  

18 

 

 

In connection with the sale of the securities or interests therein, the Selling Stockholders may enter into hedging transactions with broker-dealers or other financial institutions, which may in turn engage in short sales of the securities in the course of hedging the positions they assume. The Selling Stockholders may also sell securities short and deliver these securities to close out their short positions, or loan or pledge the securities to broker-dealers that in turn may sell these securities. The Selling Stockholders may also enter into option or other transactions with broker-dealers or other financial institutions or create one or more derivative securities, which require the delivery to such broker-dealer or other financial institution of securities offered by this prospectus, which securities such broker-dealer or other financial institution may resell pursuant to this prospectus (as supplemented or amended to reflect such transaction).

 

The Selling Stockholders and any broker-dealers or agents that are involved in selling the securities may be deemed to be “underwriters” within the meaning of the Securities Act in connection with such sales. In such event, any commissions received by such broker-dealers or agents and any profit on the resale of the securities purchased by them may be deemed to be underwriting commissions or discounts under the Securities Act. Each Selling Stockholder has informed the Company that it does not have any written or oral agreement or understanding, directly or indirectly, with any person to distribute the securities.

 

The Company is required to pay certain fees and expenses incurred by the Company incident to the registration of the securities. The Company has agreed to indemnify the Selling Stockholders against certain losses, claims, damages and liabilities, including liabilities under the Securities Act.

 

Because Selling Stockholders may be deemed to be “underwriters” within the meaning of the Securities Act, they will be subject to the prospectus delivery requirements of the Securities Act including Rule 172 thereunder. In addition, any securities covered by this prospectus that qualify for sale pursuant to Rule 144 under the Securities Act may be sold under Rule 144 rather than under this prospectus. The Selling Stockholders have advised us that there is no underwriter or coordinating broker acting in connection with the proposed sale of the resale securities by the Selling Stockholders.

 

We agreed to keep this prospectus effective until the earlier of (i) the date on which the securities may be resold by the Selling Stockholders without registration and without regard to any volume or manner-of-sale limitations by reason of Rule 144, without the requirement for the Company to be in compliance with the current public information under Rule 144 under the Securities Act or any other rule of similar effect or (ii) all of the securities have been sold pursuant to this prospectus or Rule 144 under the Securities Act or any other rule of similar effect. The resale securities will be sold only through registered or licensed brokers or dealers if required under applicable state securities laws. In addition, in certain states, the resale securities covered hereby may not be sold unless they have been registered or qualified for sale in the applicable state or an exemption from the registration or qualification requirement is available and is complied with.

 

Under applicable rules and regulations under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as Amended (“Securities Exchange Act”), any person engaged in the distribution of the resale securities may not simultaneously engage in market making activities with respect to the common stock for the applicable restricted period, as defined in Regulation M, prior to the commencement of the distribution. In addition, the Selling Stockholders will be subject to applicable provisions of the Exchange Act and the rules and regulations thereunder, including Regulation M, which may limit the timing of purchases and sales of the common stock by the Selling Stockholders or any other person. We will make copies of this prospectus available to the Selling Stockholders and have informed them of the need to deliver a copy of this prospectus to each Holder at or prior to the time of the sale (including by compliance with Rule 172 under the Securities Act).

Borrower shall be entitled to notice and (i) in the case of covenants which can be cured by the payment of money, ten (10) days from such notice to cure such covenant, and (ii) in the case of other covenants, thirty (30) days from such notice to cure failure to perform. If a failure to perform which cannot be cured by the payment of money is susceptible of cure, but cannot be cured within thirty (30) days from notice through the exercise of reasonable diligence, then, so long as the Borrower commences cure within such thirty (30)-day period, such failure remains susceptible to cure, and the Borrower diligently pursues cure and completes such cure within forty-five (45) days of receipt of notice of default, such failure shall not be deemed to create an Event of Default.

 

7. The Lender’s Remedies. If an Event of Default shall occur, the Lender shall have all rights and remedies available to it or for its benefit under the Loan Documents or otherwise at law and in equity and the Lender shall have no further obligation to perform its obligations under any of the Loan Documents.

8. Miscellaneous.

 

(a) Relationship of the Borrower and the Lender. The relationship between the Borrower and the Lender is solely that of debtor and creditor. The Lender has no fiduciary or other special relationship with the Borrower, is not a partner or joint venturer of the Borrower and is not an agent of the Borrower. No term of the Loan Documents shall be construed as creating any relationship between the Borrower on one hand and the Lender on the other hand, to be anything other than that of debtor and creditor.

 

(b) No Lender Obligations. By accepting or approving anything required to be observed, performed or fulfilled or to be given to the Lender pursuant to the Loan Documents, including without limitation, any officer’s certificate, balance sheet, statement of profit and loss or other financial statement, the Lender shall not be deemed to have warranted, consented to, or affirmed the sufficiency, the legality or effectiveness of same, and such acceptance or approval thereof shall not constitute any warranty or affirmation with respect thereto by the Lender.

 

(c) Survival of Covenants, Representations and Warranties. All covenants, representations and warranties contained in the Loan Documents or made in writing by or on behalf of the Borrower in connection with the transactions contemplated by this Agreement shall survive for the duration of any statutes of limitation applicable thereto, the execution and delivery of this Agreement, the Promissory Note, the Stock Pledge Agreement, any ancillary document to the Loan Documents, and the funding of the Loan, any investigation at any time made by the Lender or on the Lender’s behalf, and any disposition of or payment on the Promissory Note.

 

Page 5 of 19

 

 

(d) Severability. Any provision of this Agreement that is prohibited or unenforceable in any jurisdiction shall, as to such jurisdiction, be ineffective to the extent of such prohibition or unenforceability without invalidating the remaining provisions hereof or affecting the validity or enforceability of such provisions in any other jurisdiction.

 

(e) Amendment, Waiver, Entire Agreement. This Agreement may be amended, and waivers or consents to departures from the provisions hereof may be given, only in a writing signed by the party against which enforcement is sought. The Loan Documents contain the entire agreement and understanding between the Lender and the Borrower and supersede all prior agreements and understandings relating to the subject matter hereof.

 

(f) Descriptive Headings; Interpretation. The headings in this Agreement are for purposes of convenience only and shall not be used in construing or interpreting this Agreement. References to an “Exhibit” are, unless otherwise specified, to an Exhibit attached to this Agreement. References to an “Article” or “Section” are, unless otherwise specified, to an “Article” or “Section” of this Agreement, as the case may be. Notwithstanding that this Agreement was initially prepared by the Lender’s counsel, this Agreement has been reviewed and negotiated by competent counsel on behalf of the Borrower. The parties to this Agreement agree that the Loan Documents shall not be construed against the Lender as a result of this Agreement having been so prepared by Lender’s legal counsel.
