ENIGMA-BULWARK, LTD.

NOTES TO THE CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

MARCH 31, 2016, AND DECEMBER 31, 2015


NOTE 1. OVERVIEW AND NATURE OF BUSINESS

 

The accompanying unaudited consolidated financial statements of Enigma-Bulwark, Ltd., (the “Company” or “Enigma”) have been prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles.  The preparation of consolidated financial statements in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the consolidated financial statements and that effect the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates.

 

These interim consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the audited consolidated financial statements and notes for the year ended December 31, 2015. Notes to the consolidated financial statements that would substantially duplicate the disclosures contained in the audited consolidated financial statements have been omitted.

 

The Company was incorporated in Nevada on September 30, 2005, and is headquartered in Los Angeles, California. Formerly PearTrack Security Systems, Inc., the Company’s name was changed to Enigma-Bulwark, Ltd., on October 9, 2019, pursuant to a majority of the Company’s shareholders and unanimous resolution of the board of directors.

 

Enigma-Bulwark, Ltd. (“Enigma” or “Company”) is a security and risk management company that provides physical security, technology-systems integration, and risk management advisory services.  Services offered to assess and mitigate risk include security guards, risk management analysis, and proprietary and third-party technology and software. Target markets include corporations, governments and individuals across the globe.

 

As of March 31, 2016, the Company was structured with three wholly-owned subsidiaries: PearTrack Systems Group, Ltd. (“PTSG”), Ecologic Products, Inc. (“EPI”), and Ecologic Car Rentals, Inc. (“ECR”), all Nevada corporations.  The Company’s current business activities are diversified into two specific markets: security and risk management, and remote/mobile asset tracking products.

 

The Company intends to provide a unique solution to security issues in the intermodal shipping container marketplace, with its patented container tracking and locking system, EnigmaLok (formerly PearLoxx), the rights of which were licensed to the Company in perpetuity in 2015.

 

Through the subsidiaries, Ecologic Car Rentals, Inc. and Ecologic Products, Inc., the Company continues its pursuits for strategic opportunities for its shareholders, as management believes that the brands have value for companies with environmentally-friendly consumer-related products and services.

 

Going Concern

The Company has incurred losses since inception resulting in a current period net loss of $3,082,758, an accumulated deficit of $16,664,004, and a working capital deficit of $2,751,536 as of March 31, 2016, and further losses are anticipated. The Company’s ability to continue as a going concern is dependent upon its ability to generate profitable operations in the future and/or to obtain the necessary financing to meet its obligations and repay its liabilities arising from normal business operations when they come due, which may not be available at commercially reasonable terms.  There can be no assurance that the Company will be able to continue to raise funds, in which case the Company may be unable to meet its obligations and the Company may cease operations. These factors, among others, raise substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern.

 

The consolidated financial statements reflect all adjustments consisting of normal recurring adjustments, which, in the opinion of management, are necessary for a fair presentation of the results for the periods shown. The consolidated financial statements do not include any adjustments relating to the recoverability and classification of recorded assets, or the amounts of and classification of liabilities that might be necessary in the event the Company cannot continue as a going concern.

 

NOTE 2. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

 

Basis of Presentation

This summary of significant accounting policies is presented to assist in understanding the Company’s consolidated financial statements.  These accounting policies conform to accounting principles, generally accepted in the United States of America, and have been consistently applied in the preparation of the consolidated financial statements.

 

The Company’s fiscal year end is December 31.

 

Principles of Consolidation

The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company and its wholly-owned subsidiaries. All intercompany balances and transactions have been eliminated.

NOTES TO THE CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

MARCH 31, 2016, AND DECEMBER 31, 2015


 

Use of Estimates

The preparation of consolidated financial statements in conformity with US GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amount of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the consolidated financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Management routinely makes judgments and estimates about the effects of matters that are inherently uncertain. Estimates that are critical to the accompanying consolidated financial statements include the estimates related to asset impairments of long-lived assets and investments, classification of expenditures as either an asset or an expense, valuation of deferred tax assets, and the likelihood of loss contingencies. Management bases its estimates and judgments on historical experience and on various other factors that are believed to be reasonable under the circumstances, the results of which form the basis for making judgments about the carrying values of assets and liabilities that are not readily apparent from other sources. Estimates and assumptions are revised periodically, and the effects of revisions are reflected in the consolidated financial statements in the period it is determined to be necessary. Actual results could differ from these estimates.

 

Fair Value Hierarchy

The Company utilizes the three-level valuation hierarchy for the recognition and disclosure of fair value measurements. The categorization of assets and liabilities within this hierarchy is based upon the lowest level of input that is significant to the measurement of fair value. The three levels of the hierarchy consist of the following:

 

Level 1: Inputs to the valuation methodology are unadjusted quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities that the Company has the ability to access at the measurement date. 

 

Level 2: Inputs to the valuation methodology are quoted prices for similar assets and liabilities in active markets, quoted prices in markets that are not active or inputs that are observable for the asset or liability, either directly or indirectly, for substantially the full term of the instrument. 

 

Level 3: Inputs to the valuation methodology are unobservable inputs based upon management’s best estimate of inputs market participants could use in pricing the asset or liability at the measurement date, including assumptions about risk. 

 

The Company’s investment in securities are classified as Level 1 assets, and were valued using the quoted prices in the active market (Note 3).

 

Fair Value of Financial Instruments

As of March 31, 2016, and December 31, 2015, respectively, the carrying values of Company’s Level 1 financial instruments including cash and cash equivalents, investments in securities, accounts receivable, accounts payable, and short-term debt approximate fair value. The fair value of Level 3 instruments is calculated as the net present value of expected cash flows based on externally provided or obtained inputs. Certain Level 3 instruments may also be based on sales prices of similar assets. The Company’s fair value calculations take into consideration the credit risk of both the Company and its counterparties as of the date of valuation.

 

Cash and Cash Equivalents

The Company considers cash in banks, deposits in transit, and highly-liquid debt instruments purchased with original maturities of three months or less to be cash and cash equivalents. As of March 31, 2016, and December 31, 2015, the Company had no cash equivalents.

 

Foreign Currency Translation

Items included in the financial statements of the Company’s subsidiary are measured using the currency of the primary economic environment in which the entity operates (‘the functional currency’). The consolidated financial statements are presented in US Dollars, which is the Company’s reporting currency.

 

The results and financial position of PearTrack Systems Group, Ltd., the Company’s wholly owned subsidiary, has a functional currency different from the reporting currency, the British Pound, and is translated into the reporting currency as follows:

 

(i)assets and liabilities for each balance sheet presented are translated at the closing rate at the date of that balance sheet; 

(ii)income and expenses for each statement of operations are translated at average exchange rates on a monthly basis; and 

(iii)all resulting exchange differences are recognized as a separate component of equity. 

 

Foreign exchange gains and losses resulting from the settlement of such transactions and from the translation at year-end exchange rates of monetary assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currencies are recognized in the consolidated statements of operations as other comprehensive income. On consolidation, exchange differences arising from the translation of the net investment in foreign entities are taken to stockholders’ equity. During the three months ended March 31, 2016 and 2015, respectively, exchange differences of $0 and $4,541 were recognized.  As of March 31, 2016 and 2015, respectively, exchange differences of $7,079 and $8,683 have been accumulated.

Investments in Securities

Investments in securities are accounted for using the equity method if the investment provides the Company the ability to exercise significant influence, but not control, over an investee.  Significant influence is generally deemed to exist if the Company has an ownership interest in the voting stock of the investee between 20% and 50%, although other factors, such as representation on the investee's board of directors, are considered in determining whether the equity method is appropriate.  All other equity investments, which consist of investments for which the Company does not possess the ability to exercise significant influence, are accounted for under the mark to market method.  Under the mark to market method of accounting, investments are marked to market, with unrealized gains and losses being excluded from earnings and reflected as a component of other comprehensive income.

 

Property and Equipment

Property and equipment is carried at the cost of acquisition or construction and depreciated over the estimated useful lives of the assets. Costs associated with repairs and maintenance are expensed as incurred.  Costs associated with improvements which extend the life, increase the capacity or improve the efficiency of the Company’s property and equipment are capitalized and depreciated over the remaining life of the related asset.  Gains and losses on dispositions of equipment are reflected in operations.  Depreciation is provided using the straight-line method over the estimated useful lives of the assets, which are 5 to 7 years.

 

Intangible Assets

Product processes, patents and customer lists are amortized on a straight-line basis over their estimated useful lives of 4 to 20 years. Application development stage costs for significant internally developed software projects are capitalized and amortized on a straight-line basis over the useful life of 2 to 5 years. Costs to extend and maintain patents and trademarks are charged directly to expense as incurred.

 

Impairment of Long-Lived Assets

The Company evaluates long-lived assets for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that their net book value may not be recoverable.  When such factors and circumstances exist, the Company compares the projected undiscounted future cash flows associated with the related asset or group of assets over their estimated useful lives against their respective carrying amount.  Impairment, if any, is based on the excess of the carrying amount over the fair value, based on market value when available, or discounted expected cash flows, of those assets and is recorded in the period in which the determination is made.

 

Due to the Company’s recurring losses and lack of revenue from its intellectual properties, its intellectual properties were evaluated for impairment, and it was determined that its intellectual property, with a carrying value of $3,340,027, was impaired.  As a result, an impairment loss of $3,340,027 was recognized for the period ended March 31, 2016.

 

Convertible Debt

The Company recognizes the advantageous value of conversion rights attached to convertible debt. Such rights give the debt holder the ability to convert debt into common stock at a price per share that is less than the trading price to the public on the date of the debt. The beneficial value is calculated as the intrinsic value (the market price of the stock at the commitment date in excess of the conversion rate) of the beneficial conversion feature of the debt, and is recorded as a discount to the related debt and an addition to additional paid in capital. The discount is amortized over the remaining outstanding period of related debt using the interest method.

 

Revenue Recognition

Revenue is recognized only when the price is fixed or determinable, persuasive evidence of an arrangement exists, the service has been provided, and collectability is reasonably assured.

 

The Company has continuing revenue from limited customer contracts for its tracking units and system.  In addition, the Company provides consulting services as an additional revenue source.  As of March 31, 2016, the Company has not commenced its principal operations, generating limited test sales of its security product line.

NOTES TO THE CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

MARCH 31, 2016, AND DECEMBER 31, 2015


 

Income Taxes

Deferred tax assets and liabilities are recognized for the estimated future tax consequences attributable to temporary differences between the financial statement carrying amounts of existing assets and liabilities and their respective tax bases. These assets and liabilities are measured using enacted tax rates expected to apply to taxable income in the years in which the temporary differences are expected to reverse.

 

The Company has net operating loss carryforwards available to reduce future taxable income. Future tax benefits for these net operating loss carryforwards are recognized to the extent that realization of these benefits is considered more likely than not. To the extent that the Company will not realize a future tax benefit, a valuation allowance is established.

 

As of March 31, 2016, the Company had not yet filed its 2013 through 2015 annual corporate income tax returns, which were filed in April 2022.  Due to the Company’s recurring losses, no corporate income taxes are due for these periods.

 

Net Income (Loss) Per Common Share

Basic earnings (loss) per share is calculated by dividing net income (loss) by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding for the period.  Diluted earnings (loss) per share is calculated by dividing net income (loss) by the weighted average number of common shares and dilutive common stock equivalents outstanding. During the periods when anti-dilutive, common stock equivalents, if any, are not considered in the computation.

 

Other Comprehensive Income (Loss)

Other comprehensive income includes unrealized gains and losses on securities available for sale, and unrealized gains and losses resulting from foreign exchange differences.  During the three months ended March 31, 2016 and 2015, respectively, other comprehensive income (losses) of $120,619 and ($12,346) have been recognized.  As of March 31, 2016 and 2015, respectively, other comprehensive income (loss) of $1,321,821 and ($3,379) has been accumulated.

Stock Based Compensation

The Company records stock-based compensation using the fair value method. All transactions in which goods or services are the consideration received for the issuance of equity instruments are accounted for based on the fair value of the consideration received or the fair value of the equity instrument issued, whichever is more reliably measurable. Equity instruments issued to employees and the cost of the services received as consideration are measured and recognized based on the fair value of the equity instruments issued.

 

Recent Accounting Pronouncements

The Company evaluates the pronouncements of various authoritative accounting organizations, primarily the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”), the US Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”), and the Emerging Issues Task Force (“EITF”), to determine the impact of new pronouncements on US GAAP and the impact on the Company. The Company has recently adopted the following new accounting standards:

 

Adopted:

 

In January 2015, the FASB issued ASU 2015-01 Income Statement—Extraordinary and Unusual Items (Subtopic 225-20): Simplifying Income Statement Presentation by Eliminating the Concept of Extraordinary Items. This Update eliminates from GAAP the concept of extraordinary items. The amendments in this Update are effective for fiscal years, and interim periods within those fiscal years, beginning after December 15, 2015. A reporting entity may apply the amendments prospectively. A reporting entity also may apply the amendments retrospectively to all prior periods presented in the financial statements. Early adoption is permitted provided that the guidance is applied from the beginning of the fiscal year of adoption. The effective date is the same for both public business entities and all other entities.

 

In April 2015, the FASB issued ASU 2015-03 Interest-Imputation of Interest (Subtopic 835-30: Simplifying the Presentation of Debt Issuance Costs.  ASU 2015-03 is part of the Simplification Initiative, and its objective of to simplify the presentation of debt issuance costs.  This Update requires that debt issuance costs related to a recognized debt liability be presented in the balance sheet as a direct deduction from the carrying amount of that debt liability, consistent with debt discounts. The recognition and measurement guidance for debt issuance costs are not affected by the amendments in this Update.  The amendments in this Update are effective for the Company’s consolidated financial statements issued for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2015, and interim periods within those fiscal years. Early adoption is permitted for financial statements that have not been previously issued.

NOTES TO THE CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

MARCH 31, 2016, AND DECEMBER 31, 2015


 

In July 2015, the FASB issued ASU 2015-11 Inventory (Topic 330): Simplifying the Measurement of Inventory.  ASU 2015-11 is part of the Simplification Initiative, and its objective is to simplify the measurement of inventory.  This Update applies to inventory that is measured using FIFO or average cost, and requires an entity measure inventory at the lower of cost and net realizable value.  The amendments in this Update are effective for the Company’s consolidated financial statements issued for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2016, and interim periods within those fiscal years. The amendments in this Update should be applied prospectively with earlier application permitted as of the beginning of an interim or annual reporting period.

 

In September 2015, the FASB issued ASU 2015-16 Business Combinations (Topic 805): Simplifying the Accounting for Measurement Period Adjustments.  ASU 2015-16 is part of the Simplification Initiative, and eliminates the requirement to restate prior period financial statements for measurement period adjustments. The new guidance requires that the cumulative impact of a measurement period adjustment (including the impact on prior periods) be recognized in the reporting period in which the adjustment is identified. The amendments in this Update are effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2015, including interim periods within those fiscal years. The amendments in this Update should be applied prospectively to adjustments to provisional amounts that occur after the effective date of this Update with earlier application permitted for financial statements that have not been issued.

 

Not Yet Adopted:

 

In January 2016, the FASB issued ASU No. 2016-01, Financial Instruments-Overall (Subtopic 825-10: Recognition and Measurement of Financial Assets and Financial Liabilities. The new guidance is intended to improve the recognition, measurement, presentation and disclosure of financial instruments. Among other changes, there will no longer be an available-for-sale classification for which changes in fair value are currently reported in other comprehensive income for equity securities with readily determinable fair values. Equity investments with readily determinable fair values will be measured at fair value with changes in fair value recognized in net income. ASU 2016-01 will be effective for the Company beginning January 1, 2018, with early adoption not permitted.  The Company is currently evaluating the impact of the application of this accounting standard update on its consolidated financial statements and related disclosures.

 

In February 2016, the FASB issued ASU No. 2016-02, Leases. Under the new guidance, lessees will be required to recognize the following for all leases (with the exception of short-term leases) at the commencement date: (a) a lease liability, which is a lessee’s obligation to make lease payments arising from a lease, measured on a discounted basis; and (b) a right-of-use asset, which is an asset that represents the lessee’s right to use, or control the use of, a specified asset for the lease term. The ASU will be effective for the Company beginning January 1, 2019, with early adoption permitted. The Company is currently evaluating the impact of the application of this accounting standard update on its consolidated financial statements and related disclosures.

 

Recently Issued Accounting Standards Updates: 

There were various updates recently issued, most of which represented technical corrections to the accounting literature or application to specific industries. None of the updates are expected to have a material impact on the Company's consolidated financial position, results of operations or cash flows.

NOTE 14. CORRECTION OF ERROR

 

During 2023, the Company discovered that the Convertible Promissory Note dated December 31, 2011, as modified through December 31, 2014, issued to Mr. William B. Nesbitt was overstated.  The overstatement was the result of an error made in the accrual of compensation in connection with Mr. Nesbitt’s underlying Employment Agreement.  The error resulted in overstatements of general and administrative expense for the years ended December 31, 2012 through 2014, and interest expense for the years ended December 31, 2012 through 2015.  The errors have been corrected by restating each of the affected financial statement line items for the year ended December 31, 2015, and recognizing a gain on extinguished debt for the cumulative effect on the consolidated statements of operations. The following tables summarize the impacts on the Company’s consolidated financial statements:

ITEM 2. MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

 

Forward-Looking Statements

 

This quarterly report contains forward-looking statements. These statements relate to future events or the Company’s future financial performance. In some cases, you can identify forward-looking statements by terminology such as "may", "should", "expects", "plans", "anticipates", "believes", "estimates", "predicts", "potential" or "continue" or the negative of these terms or other comparable terminology. These statements are only predictions and involve known and unknown risks, uncertainties and other factors that may cause the Company’s or the Company’s industry's actual results, levels of activity, performance or achievements to be materially different from any future results, levels of activity, performance or achievements expressed or implied by these forward-looking statements. Although the Company believes that the expectations reflected in the forward-looking statements are reasonable, the Company cannot guarantee future results, levels of activity, performance or achievements. Except as required by applicable law, including the securities laws of the United States, the Company does not intend to update any of the forward-looking statements to conform these statements to actual results.

 

The Company’s unaudited consolidated financial statements are stated in United States Dollars (US$), and are prepared in accordance with United States Generally Accepted Accounting Principles. The following discussion should be read in conjunction with the Company’s unaudited consolidated financial statements and the related notes that appear elsewhere in this quarterly report.

 

As used in this quarterly report and unless otherwise indicated, the terms “we”, “us”, “our”, “our company” and “Enigma” refer to Enigma-Bulwark, Ltd., and its subsidiaries, unless otherwise indicated.

 

Corporate History

 

The Company was incorporated in Nevada on September 30, 2005, and is headquartered in Los Angeles, California. Formerly PearTrack Security Systems, Inc., the Company’s name was changed to Enigma-Bulwark, Ltd., on October 9, 2019, pursuant to a majority of the Company’s shareholders and unanimous resolution of the board of directors.

 

Enigma-Bulwark, Ltd. (“Enigma” or “Company”) is a security and risk management company that provides physical security, technology-systems integration, and risk management advisory services.  Services offered to assess and mitigate risk include security guards, risk management analysis, and proprietary and third-party technology and software. Target markets include corporations, governments and individuals across the globe.

 

During 2014 through 2016, the Company, operating as PearTrack Security Systems, Inc., initiated a test deployment of its platform and system globally, and managed clients seeking to track their assets in motion and in remote locations.  

 

During 2016 through 2018, the Company sought financing for the finalization of the PearLoxx container locking and tracking prototype.  In addition, strategic acquisitions were pursued to expand the Company’s intellectual property portfolio.

 

Due to the Company’s inability to successfully commercialize the PearTrack IP tracking platform acquired in 2013, all rights, title and interest in the PearTrack IP reverted to the former licensees on December 31, 2018, and, pursuant to the terms of the collateralized agreement, the related Note issued to the licensors (the “Note Holders”) was canceled.  In addition, all rights to future royalties collectible under any sub-license previously issued by the Company for the PearTrack IP reverted to the Note Holders.  As a result, in 2018, the Company recognized a gain on the extinguishment of debt of $2,000,000.

 

Although the PearTrack IP commercialization was unsuccessful, the Company continued to focus on security and risk management, and acquired intellectual property that is based on a patent-pending 2 interactive spontaneous video security technology (the “Safer IP”).  On October 11, 2018, the Company executed an Intellectual Property Purchase Agreement (the “Safer Agreement”) with Safer, Inc., a Florida corporation (the “Seller”), for the acquisition of the Safer IP.  Pursuant to the Safer Agreement, in exchange for all rights, title and interest in the Safer IP, among other things, the Company delivered to Seller:

 

1.Common Stock Purchase Agreement providing for the Seller the right to purchase 3,500,000 shares of the Company’s restricted common stock at a price of $0.001 per share, for $3,500 cash; and  

2.Revenue Sharing Agreement providing for a cash earn-out of 3% to be paid to the Seller, up to $1,000,000 paid to Seller, derived from the Adjusted Gross Revenue generated by the Company in connection with the Safer IP; and  

3.Royalty Agreement providing for a royalty of 1.5% of the Adjusted Gross Revenue generated by the Company in connection with the Safer IP.  

 

In 2019, the Company was presented with an opportunity to start a security and risk management business headquartered in Cape Town, South Africa, and identified key management to operate the business unit.  On August 30, 2019, the Company formed Enigma-Bulwark Risk Management, Inc., a Delaware corporation and wholly-owned subsidiary (“EBRM”), to maintain the Company’s security and risk management operations and assets.  


2 On July 21, 2021, the Company received a Notice of Allowance from the United States Patent and Trademark Office that its Patent Application 16/618,038 “Network Based Video Surveillance and Logistics for Multiple Users” was granted and would be issued to the Company.


19



In addition, EBRM acquired 100% of the shares of Enigma-Bulwark Security, Inc., a Delaware corporation formed by the Company in May 2019 (“EBS”). The Company attracted key senior management talent with backgrounds in structured finance, insurance, management, and M&A.  On August 8, 2019, EBS received its license to provide physical security officers from the Florida Department of Agriculture and Consumer Services, and commenced its security protection operations in southern Florida, providing security services to the hospitality industry, as well as large events and VIPs/celebrities.

 

As part of the development of the South African business unit, the Company, through EBRM, entered into a Joint Venture Agreement (the “JV Agreement”) on September 8, 2020, with Prime African Security, Ltd., a South African corporation (“Prime”), to provide security and risk management services in South Africa. The joint venture formed Prime Enigma Africa (Pty) Ltd., a South African corporation (the “Joint Venture”), for which Prime owns 51% of the common stock and the Company owns 49%.  The JV Agreement is for an initial term of three (3) years, and automatically renews unless canceled in writing by either party.

 

COVID-19 Pandemic

 

In December 2019, an outbreak of the COVID-19 virus was reported in Wuhan, China. On March 11, 2020, the World Health Organization (“WHO”) declared the COVID-19 virus a global pandemic, and on March 13, 2020, former President Donald J. Trump declared the virus a national emergency in the United States.  As of the date of the filing of this Quarterly Report, the WHO reports over 757 million confirmed COVID-19 cases and over 6.8 million deaths worldwide, including over 1.1 million in the U.S. This highly contagious disease has spread to most of the countries in the world and throughout the United States, creating a serious impact on customers, workforces and suppliers, disrupting economies and financial markets, and potentially leading to a world-wide economic downturn. It has caused a disruption of the normal operations of many businesses, including the temporary closure or scale-back of business operations and/or the imposition of either quarantine or remote work or meeting requirements for employees, either by government order or on a voluntary basis.

 

The COVID-19 pandemic may adversely affect the Company’s clients’ operations, its employees and its employee productivity. It may also impact the ability of the Company’s subcontractors, partners, and suppliers to operate and fulfill their contractual obligations, and result in an increase in costs, delays or disruptions in performance. These effects, and the direct effect of the virus and the disruption on the Company’s employees and operations, may negatively impact both the Company’s ability to meet customer demand and its revenue and profit margins. The Company’s employees, in many cases, are working remotely and using various technologies to perform their functions. The Company might experience delays or changes in customer demand, particularly if customer funding priorities change. Further, in reaction to the spread of COVID-19 in the United States, many businesses have instituted social distancing policies, including the closure of offices and worksites and deferring planned business activity. Additionally, the disruption and volatility in the global and domestic capital markets may increase the cost of capital and limit the Company’s ability to access capital. Both the health and economic aspects of the COVID-19 virus are highly fluid and the future course of each is uncertain. For these reasons and other reasons that may come to light if the coronavirus pandemic and associated protective or preventative measures expand, the Company may experience a material adverse effect on its business operations, revenues and financial condition; however, its ultimate impact is highly uncertain and subject to change.

·a decrease in depreciation and amortization expense of $45,737, due to the impairment of intellectual property, resulting in a decrease in amortization expense in the current period of $45,855, and the acquisition of office equipment, resulting an increase in depreciation expense of $118 in the current period, compared to no expense for the same period in the prior year; and 

·a decrease in rent expense of $17,427, primarily due to the sub-lease of office space; and 

·a decrease in other general and administrative expenses of $12,180, due to increases in research and development of $6,616 and taxes, licenses and permits of $1,243, and decreases in meals, entertainment and promotion of $2,340, office expense of $2,833, telephone of $3,493, travel of $10,396 and other office supplies and miscellaneous expenses of $977.

Cash Flows from Operating Activities

 

During the three months ended March 31, 2016, the Company used $10,629 of cash flow from operating activities, compared with $67,057 for the three months ended March 31, 2015. The decrease in cash used by operating activities of $56,428 is primarily attributable to an increase in the net loss from operations of $3,001,366; increases in accruals converted to related party loans of $49,502, discount amortization of $3,695, and impairment losses of $3,340,027; decreases in stock compensation/stock option amortization of $174,214, depreciation and amortization of $45,737, gain on extinguished debt of $126,790, and foreign exchange gains of $477; increases in the changes in accounts receivable of $41, prepaid expenses of $34, and accounts payable and accrued expenses of $3,341; and decreases in the changes in refunds and claims receivable of $9,120, other receivables of $2,795, deferred revenue of $225,000, and related party payables of $9,247.

 

Cash Flows from Investing Activities

 

During the three months ended March 31, 2016 and 2015, the Company was provided with/used no cash flows from investing activities.

 

Cash Flows from Financing Activities

 

During the three months ended March 31, 2016, the Company was provided with no cash flows from financing activities, compared with $35,034 during the three months ended March 31, 2015. The decrease in cash flows provided by financing activities of $35,034 is attributable to decreases in repayments of related party loans of $8,336 and proceeds from the issuance of common stock of $43,370.

 

As of March 31, 2016, affiliates and related parties are due a total of $3,737,302, which is comprised of promissory notes to related parties, net of unamortized discounts of $243,524, in the amount of $3,432,036; accrued compensation in the amount of $236,550; and reimbursable expenses/cash advances to the Company in the amount of $68,716; for a net increase of $220,915.

The Company’s principal sources of funds have been from sales of the Company’s common stock and loans from related parties.

 

Contractual Obligations

 

The Company is a smaller reporting company as defined by Rule 12b-2 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 and is not required to provide the information under this item.

 

Going Concern

 

The Company has incurred losses since inception resulting in a current period net loss of $3,082,758, an accumulated deficit of $16,664,004, and a working capital deficit of $2,751,536, and further losses are anticipated. The Company’s ability to continue as a going concern is dependent upon its ability to generate profitable operations in the future and/or to obtain the necessary financing to meet its obligations and repay its liabilities arising from normal business operations when they come due, which may not be available at commercially reasonable terms.  There can be no assurance that the Company will be able to continue to raise funds, in which case the Company may be unable to meet its obligations and the Company may cease operations. These factors, among others, raise substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern.

 

The unaudited consolidated financial statements included with this quarterly report have been prepared on the going concern basis which assumes that adequate sources of financing will be obtained as required and that the Company’s assets will be realized, and liabilities settled in the ordinary course of business. Accordingly, the unaudited consolidated financial statements do not include any adjustments related to the recoverability of assets and classification of assets and liabilities that might be necessary should the Company be unable to continue as a going concern.

 

Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements

 

The Company has no off-balance sheet arrangements that have or are reasonably likely to have a current or future effect on the Company’s financial condition, changes in financial condition, revenues or expenses, results of operations, liquidity, capital expenditures or capital resources that is material to stockholders.


24



Critical Accounting Policies

 

The discussion and analysis of the Company’s financial condition and results of operations are based upon the Company’s audited consolidated financial statements, which have been prepared in accordance with the accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America. Preparing consolidated financial statements requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, revenue, and expenses. These estimates and assumptions are affected by management’s application of accounting policies. The Company believes that understanding the basis and nature of the estimates and assumptions involved with the following aspects of the Company’s consolidated financial statements is critical to an understanding of its consolidated financial statements.  The following should be read in conjunction with Note 2 to the Company’s consolidated financial statements, “Summary of Significant Accounting Policies”:

 

Impairment reviews

Management is required to perform tests annually, or more often if necessary, for impairment of its finite lived and indefinite lived assets, to determine if events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of an asset may not be recoverable.

 

Impairment testing is an area involving management judgement, requiring assessment as to whether the carrying value of assets can be supported by the net present value of future cash flows derived from such assets using cash flow projections which have been discounted at an appropriate rate. In calculating the net present value of the future cash flows, certain assumptions are required to be made in respect of highly uncertain matters, including management’s expectations of:

 

·growth in EBITDA, calculated as adjusted operating profit before depreciation and amortization; 

·long term growth rates; and 

·the selection of discount rates to reflect the risks involved. 

 

The Company prepares five-year projections and uses these as the basis for its impairment reviews. Changing the assumptions selected by management, in particular the discount rate and growth rate assumptions used in the projections, could significantly affect the Company’s impairment evaluation and, hence, results.

 

The Company’s review for impairment also includes the evaluation of key assumptions related to sensitivity in the projections.  Included are estimates for varying levels of growth, including aggressive, median, and conservative.  In the Company’s evaluation, the conservative level of growth is utilized. For additional information, see Impairment of Long-Lived Assets under Note 2, Summary of Significant Accounting Policies, in the Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements contained within this Quarterly Report.

 

ITEM 3. QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK

 

The Company is a smaller reporting company as defined by Rule 12b-2 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 and is not required to provide the information under this item.

 

ITEM 4. CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES

 

Management’s Report on Disclosure Controls and Procedures

 

The Company maintains disclosure controls and procedures that are designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed in the Company’s reports filed under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the Securities and Exchange Commission's rules and forms, and that such information is accumulated and communicated to the Company’s management, including the Company’s president, chief executive officer and chief financial officer to allow for timely decisions regarding required disclosure. In designing and evaluating the Company’s disclosure controls and procedures, the Company’s management recognizes that any controls and procedures, no matter how well designed and operated, can provide only reasonable assurance of achieving the desired control objectives, and the Company’s management is required to apply its judgment in evaluating the cost-benefit relationship of possible controls and procedures. Because of its inherent limitations, internal control over financial reporting may not prevent or detect misstatements. Therefore, even those systems determined to be effective can provide only reasonable assurance with respect to financial statement preparation and presentation. Projections of any evaluation of effectiveness to future periods are subject to the risk that controls may become inadequate because of changes in conditions, or that the degree of compliance with the policies or procedures may deteriorate.

 

As of March 31, 2016, the end of the Company’s period covered by this quarterly report, the Company carried out an evaluation, under the supervision and with the participation of the Company’s president, chief executive officer and chief financial officer, of the effectiveness of the design and operation of the Company’s disclosure controls and procedures. Based on the foregoing, the Company’s president, chief executive officer and chief financial officer concluded that the Company’s disclosure controls and procedures were effective as of the end of the period covered by this quarterly report.

 

Changes in Internal Control over Financial Reporting

 

There have been no changes in the Company’s internal controls over financial reporting that occurred during the three months ended March 31, 2016, that have materially or are reasonably likely to materially affect, the Company’s internal controls over financial reporting.

Section 2.  Performance.  (a) Executive accepts the employment as set forth in Section 1 herein and agrees to concentrate all of his/her professional time and efforts to the performance of the services described therein, including the performance of such other services and responsibilities as the Board of Directors of the Company may from time to time stipulate and which shall not be inconsistent with the position listed above.

 

(b) Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, Executive ordinarily shall devote not less than five (5) days per week (except for vacations and regular business holidays observed by the Company) on a full-time basis, during normal business hours Monday through Friday. Executive further agrees that when the performance of his/her duties reasonably requires, he/she shall be present on the Company’s premises or engaged in service to or on behalf of the Company at such times except during vacations, regular business holidays or weekends.

 

Section 3.  Term/Termination.  

3.1 Term. The term of employment under this Agreement (the “Employment Period”) shall commence on October 1 2018 and terminate on October 1 2021, unless earlier terminated pursuant to the termination provisions set forth herein. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, the parties acknowledge and agree that Executive’s employment may be terminated by the Company only for Due Cause (as hereinafter defined). At the end of the Employment Period, the continuation of Executive’s employment with the Company shall be at the will of the Company and Executive on terms and conditions agreed to by the

Kyle W. WithrowPage 1 of 9 


Company and Executive and there shall be no obligation on the part of the Company or Executive to continue such employment, provided, however, that not later than November 1, 2020, the Company and Executive shall provide to each other reasonably specific notice of their respective intentions with regard to continuation of Executive’s employment subsequent to the Employment Period.

 

3.2 Termination for Due Cause. The Employment Period may be terminated for Due Cause only for the following reasons and upon the terms and conditions set forth in this Section 3.2. The Company, by a vote of a majority of the Board of Directors (a “Termination Vote”) may terminate the Employment Period, effective upon written notice of such termination to Executive, such notice made pursuant to Section 6 herein, in the event of (i) a material breach by Executive of his fiduciary duty or duty of loyalty to Company or of his covenants under this Agreement if such material breach is not remedied within fifteen (15) calendar days following written notice by the Company; (ii) the failure of Executive to comply with any material term of this Agreement which materially adversely affects the Company; (iii) commission by Executive of theft or embezzlement of property of the Company or other acts of dishonesty of a material nature and/or commission by Executive of a crime resulting in a material injury to the businesses, properties or reputations of the Company or any of its affiliates; (iv) commission of an act by Executive in the performance of his duties hereunder reasonably determined by a majority of the board of directors of the Company to constitute gross, willful or wanton negligence; (v) willful refusal to perform or substantial neglect of the duties assigned to Executive pursuant to Section 1 of this Agreement if such refusal or neglect is not remedied within fifteen (15) calendar days following written notice by the Company; or (vi) any significant violation of any statutory or common law duty of loyalty to the Company or its affiliates.

knowledge, or data of the Company and its affiliates obtained by Executive during his employment by the Company, which is not generally know to the public or recognized as standard practice (whether or not developed by Executive) and shall not, during his employment by the Company and following the termination of such employment for any reason, communicate or divulge any such information, knowledge or data to any person or entity other than the Company or its affiliates or persons or entities designated by the Company; (ii) shall promptly disclose to the Company all inventions, ideas, devices and processes made or conceived by him along or jointly with others, from the time of entering the Company’s employ and until such employment is terminated and for a one (1) year period following such termination, relevant or pertinent in any way, whether directly or indirectly, to the Company or its affiliates or resulting from or suggested by any work which he may have done for or at the request of the Company or its affiliates; (iii) shall at all times during his employment with the Company, assist the Company and its affiliates in every proper way (at the expense of the Company) to obtain and develop for the benefit of the Company inventions, ideas, devices and processes, whether or not patented; and (iv) shall perform all such acts and execute, acknowledge and deliver all such instruments as may be necessary or desirable in the opinion of the Company to vest in the Company, the entire interest in such inventions, ideas, devices and processes referred to in this Section 5.2.  Executive and Company each agree that all documents, reports, files, analyses, drawings, designs, tools, equipment, plans (including, without limitation, marketing and sales plans), proposals, customer lists, computer software or hardware, and similar materials that are made by Executive or come into his or its possession by reason of and during the term of Executive’s engagement with Company are the property of Company and will not be used by his in any way adverse to Company’s interests.  Executive also agrees not to allow any such documents or things, or any copies, reproductions or summaries to be delivered to or used by any third party without the specific consent of Company.  Executive agrees to deliver to the Company, upon demand, and in any event upon the termination of Executive’s engagement, all of such documents and things which are in Executive’s possession or under his or its control.  Executive expressly agrees that all of his work product shall be and remain the sole and exclusive property of the Company.  Accordingly, all work products eligible for any form of copyright protection shall be deemed a “work made for hire” under the copyright laws and shall be owned by the Company.

PearTrack Security Systems, Inc.Employment Agreement 

Kyle W. WithrowPage 5 of 9 


the event of his termination of employment with the Company, from becoming gainfully employed in such manner and to such extent as to provide a reasonable standard of living for himself, the members of his family and those dependent upon him of at least the sort and fashion to which he and they have become accustomed and may expect.

 

5.5 Severability - Covenants. The covenants of Executive contained in this Section 5 shall each be construed as any agreement independent of any other provision in this Agreement and the existence of any claim or cause of action of Executive against the Company or its affiliates, whether predicated on this Agreement or otherwise, shall not constitute a defense to the enforcement by the Company or its affiliates of such covenants. The parties hereto expressly agree and contract that it is not the intention of any party to violate any public policy, statutory or common law, and that if any sentence, paragraph, clause or combination of the same of this Agreement is in violation of the law of any state where applicable, such sentence, paragraph, clause or combination of the same shall be void in the jurisdictions where it is unlawful and the remainder of such provision and this Agreement shall remain binding on the parties to make the covenants of this Agreement binding only to the extent that it may be lawfully done under existing applicable laws. In the event that any part of any covenant of this Agreement is determined by a court of law to be overly broad thereby making the covenant unenforceable, the parties hereto agree, and it is their desire, that such court shall substitute a judicially enforceable limitation in its place, and that as so modified the covenant shall be binding upon the parties as if originally set forth herein.

 

Section 6.  Indemnification.  In addition to any rights Executive may have under the Company's charter or by-laws, the Company agrees to indemnify Executive and hold Executive harmless, both during the Term and thereafter, against all costs, expenses (including, without limitation, fines, excise taxes and attorneys' and accountants’ fees) and liabilities (other than settlements to which the Company does not consent, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld) (collectively, "Losses") reasonably incurred by Executive in connection with any claim, action, proceeding or investigation brought against or involving Executive with respect to, arising out of or in any way relating to Executive's employment with the Company or Executive's service as a director of the Company; provided, however, that the Company shall not be required to indemnify Executive for Losses incurred as a result of Executive's intentional misconduct or gross negligence (other than matters where Executive acted in good faith and in a manner he reasonably believed to be in and not opposed to the Company's best interests). Executive shall promptly notify the Company of any claim, action, proceeding or investigation under this paragraph and the Company shall be entitled to participate in the defense of any such claim, action, proceeding or investigation and, if it so chooses, to assume the defense with counsel selected by the Company; provided that Executive shall have the right to employ counsel to represent him (at the Company's expense) if Company counsel would have a "conflict of interest" in representing both the Company and Executive. The Company shall not settle or compromise any claim, action, proceeding or investigation without Executive's consent, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld; provided, however, that such consent shall not be required if the settlement entails only the payment of money and the Company fully indemnifies Executive in connection therewith. The Company further agrees to advance any and all expenses (including, without limitation, the fees and expenses of counsel) reasonably incurred by the Executive in connection with any such claim, action, proceeding or investigation. The Company currently maintains a policy of directors' and officers' liability insurance covering Executive and, notwithstanding the expiration or earlier termination of this Agreement, the Company shall maintain a directors' and officers' liability insurance policy covering Executive for a period of time following such expiration or earlier termination equal to the statute of limitations for any claim that may be asserted against Executive

for which coverage is available under such directors' and officers' liability insurance policy. The provisions of this paragraph shall survive the termination of this Agreement for any reason.

ARTICLE IX

INDEMNIFICATION PROVISIONS

Section 9.1 Seller’s Indemnification Obligation.

Seller agrees that, from and after the Closing, it shall indemnify, defend and hold harmless Buyer and PearTrack and their respective officers, directors, Affiliates, partners, members, managers, employees, agents and other representatives (“Buyer Indemnified Parties”) from and against any damages, claims, losses, liabilities, costs and expenses (including, without limitation, reasonable attorneys’ fees) (each, a “Liability” and, collectively, “Liabilities”) incurred by any of the foregoing Persons arising out of (a) any misrepresentation in or breach of any representation or warranty of Seller contained in Article II of this Agreement and/or (b) any breach of any covenant or agreement of Seller contained in this Agreement, and/or (c) any action, suit, litigation, proceeding at law or in equity, arbitration or governmental investigation against, or threatened against, Buyer relating to any pre-Closing matter regarding the Purchased Assets, except in all cases to the extent any Liabilities arise out of any breach of the Buyer's representations, warranties, covenants or agreements set forth in this Agreement.

Section 9.2 Buyer’s Indemnification Obligation.

Buyer agrees that, from and after the Closing, it shall indemnify, defend and hold harmless Seller and its officers, directors, Affiliates, partners, members, managers, employees, agents and other representatives (“Seller Indemnified Parties”) from and against any Liabilities incurred by any of the foregoing Persons arising out of (a) any misrepresentation in or breach of any representation or warranty of Buyer contained in Article III of this Agreement, (b) any breach of any covenant or agreement of Buyer contained in this Agreement, or (c) any action, suit, litigation, proceeding at law or in equity, arbitration or governmental investigation against, or threatened against, Seller relating to any post-Closing matter regarding the Purchased Assets, except in all cases to the extent any Liabilities arise out of any breach of the Seller's representations, warranties, covenants or agreements set forth in this Agreement.

Section 9.3 Procedures for Indemnification for Third Party Claims.

For purposes of this Article IX, any Party entitled to be indemnified under Article IX is referred to herein as an “Indemnified Party,” and any Party obligated to provide indemnification under Article IX is referred to herein as an “Indemnifying Party.” The obligations and liabilities of the Parties under this Article IX with respect to, relating to or arising out of claims of third parties (individually, a “Third Party Claim” and, collectively, the “Third Party Claims”) shall be subject to the following terms and conditions:

(a) The Indemnified Party shall give the Indemnifying Party prompt written notice of any Liability regarding which it seeks indemnification.  In the event a Liability is the result of a Liability asserted against the Indemnified Party by a third-party to this Agreement (a “Third Party Claim”), the Indemnifying Party may undertake the defense of that claim by representatives chosen by it with the written consent of the Indemnified Party, which consent may not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed, provided, that, in such event, the Indemnified Party will have the right to participate in such defense through counsel of its own choice.  Any such notice of a Liability shall identify with reasonable specificity the basis for the indemnification claimed, the facts giving rise to the Liability and the amount of the Liability (or, if such amount is not yet known, a reasonable estimate of the amount of the Liability). The Indemnified Party shall make available to the Indemnifying Party copies of all relevant documents and records in its possession at the expense of the Indemnifying Party. Failure of an Indemnified Party to give prompt notice shall not relieve the Indemnifying Party of its obligation to indemnify, except to the  


Page 10 of 17


extent that the failure to so notify materially prejudices the Indemnifying Party’s ability to defend such claim against a third party.

(b) If the Indemnifying Party, within ten (10) days after notice from the Indemnified Party of any such Liability, notifies the Indemnified Party in writing of its election not to, or fails to, assume the defense thereof in accordance with Section 9.3(a) of this Agreement, the Indemnified Party shall have the right (but not the obligation) to undertake the defense of the Liability. Any failure on the part of the Indemnifying Party to notify the Indemnified Party within the time period provided above regarding its election shall be deemed an election by the Indemnifying Party not to assume and control the defense of the Liability.

(c) Anything in this Section 9.3 to the contrary notwithstanding, the Indemnifying Party shall not, and does not have any authority to, without the prior written consent of the Indemnified Party, settle or compromise any Liability or consent to the entry of judgment which does not include as an unconditional term thereof the unconditional release of the Indemnified Party, or consent to the entry of judgment with respect thereto, any Liability regarding which it has delivered notice of a claim for indemnification to the Indemnifying Party, without first obtaining the written consent of the Indemnifying Party (which shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed).  An Indemnifying Party shall be deemed to have consented to a settlement, compromise, payment or judgment by the Indemnified Party if it does not respond to written notice from the Indemnified Party seeking such consent within ten (10) days after delivery of such notice to the Indemnifying Party.

Section 9.4 Indemnification Limitations.

(a) Time Limits On Indemnification. No claim on account of a breach or inaccuracy of a representation or warranty shall be made after the expiration of the survival periods referred to in Section 10.1 of this Agreement. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if a written claim or written notice is given under Article IX with respect to any representation or warranty prior to the expiration of its survival period, the claim with respect to such representation or warranty shall continue until such claim is finally resolved.

(b) Limitations on Damages.

(i) In no event shall Seller be liable for indemnification pursuant to Section 9.1(a) unless and until the aggregate of all Liabilities which are incurred or suffered by the Buyer Indemnified Parties exceeds $50,000 (the “Basket”), in which case the Buyer Indemnified Parties shall be entitled to indemnification for all such Liabilities including the Basket (subject to Section 9.4(b)(ii)). In no event shall Buyer be liable for indemnification pursuant to Section 9.2(a) unless and until the aggregate of all Liabilities which are incurred or suffered by the Seller Indemnified Parties exceeds the Basket, in which case the Seller Indemnified Parties shall be entitled to indemnification for all such Liabilities including the Basket (subject to Section 9.4(b)(ii)).

(ii) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement, the maximum aggregate liability of Seller pursuant to Section 9.1(a) shall not exceed (1) the amount of money actually paid to and received by the Seller from the Buyer or their Affiliates pursuant to the terms of this Agreement and any of the Agreements attached as Exhibits hereto as of the date the notice of requested indemnification is delivered to the Seller, less (2) any amounts of money currently due the Seller from the Buyer or their Affiliates pursuant to the terms of this Agreement and any of the Agreements attached as Exhibits hereto.  For purposes of this provision, the right to purchase PearTrack common stock at its par value or the shares, if purchased, shall be valued at the greater of its book value or its then current market price.

The maximum aggregate liability of Buyer pursuant to Section 9.2(a) shall not exceed $7,500,000.

(iii) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Agreement or otherwise, no Party to this Agreement shall be liable to any Indemnified Party for any special, incidental, punitive, consequential or similar damagesexcept, in the event a Third Party Claim results in a judgment against an Indemnified Party by the third-party claimant, then such damages shall be included in the amount of indemnification due the Indemnified Party.

EXHIBIT “A”

 

REGISTRATION RIGHTS AGREEMENT

 

REGISTRATION RIGHTS AGREEMENT

This Registration Rights Agreement (“Agreement”) is made and entered into as of the 15 day of May, 2019 (the “Effective Date”), by and between Leafy Lane Limited, a British Virgin Islands Company, with its Registered Office at 36 South Road, Southampton, Bermuda SN01 (“LEAFY”) and PearTrack Security Systems, Inc., a Nevada corporation, having a principal place of business at 1327 Ocean Avenue, Suite B, Santa Monica, CA 94501 (“PTSS” or the “Company”).

 

WHEREAS, in connection with the purchase by LEAFY of six million six hundred and sixty-six thousand (6,667,000) shares of the Company’s Common Stock (the “Purchased Shares”), the Company has agreed to enter into this Registration Rights Agreement.

 

NOW THEREFORE, in consideration of the mutual agreements, covenants and conditions and releases contained herein, the Company and the Purchaser hereby agree as follows:

 

1.DEFINITIONS. AS USED HEREIN: 

1.1.The term “Holder” means any person owning or having the right to acquire Registrable Shares or any assignee thereof in accordance with Section 2.8 hereof. 

1.2.The terms “register,” “registered,” and “registration” refer to a registration effected by preparing and filing a registration statement in compliance with the Securities Act (as defined below) and the applicable rules and regulations thereunder, and the declaration or ordering of the effectiveness of such registration statement. 

1.3.For the purposes hereof, the term “Registrable Shares” means and includes (i) the Purchased Shares and (ii) any common stock of the Company issued or issuable as a result of a stock split, dividend or other distribution with respect to or in exchange for or in replacement of the Purchased Shares. 

1.4.The term “Ownership Percentage” means and includes, with respect to each Holder of Registrable Shares requesting inclusion of Registrable Shares in an offering pursuant to this Agreement, the number of Registrable Shares held by such Holder divided by the aggregate of (i) all Registrable Shares held by all Holders requesting registration in such offering and (ii) the total number of all other securities entitled to registration pursuant to any agreement with the Company and held by others participating in the underwriting. 

1.5.The term “Securities Act” means the Securities Act of 1933, as amended. 

1.6.The term “Public Offering” means and includes the closing of an underwritten public offering pursuant to an effective registration statement under the Securities Act, covering the offer and sale of securities to the general public for the account of the Company. 


ConfidentialPage 58/28/2019 


2.REGISTRATION RIGHTS. 

2.1.“Piggy Back” Registration. If at any time the Company shall determine to register under the Securities Act (including pursuant to a demand of any stockholder of the Company exercising registration rights) any of its common stock (other than a registration relating solely to the sale of securities to participants in a Company employee benefits plan, a registration on any form which does not include substantially the same information as would be required to be included in a registration statement covering the sale of the Registrable Shares or a registration in which the only common stock being registered is common stock issuable upon conversion of debt securities which are also being registered), it shall send to each Holder written notice of such determination and, if within ten (10) business days after receipt of such notice, such Holder shall so request in writing, the Company shall use its best efforts to include in such registration statement all of the Registrable Shares that such Holder requests to be registered, except that if, in connection with any offering involving an underwriting of common stock to be issued by the Company, the managing underwriter shall impose a limitation on the number of shares of common stock included in any such registration statement because, in such underwriter’s judgment, such limitation is necessary based on market conditions, the Company shall be obligated to include in such registration statement, with respect to the requesting Holder, only an amount of Registrable Shares equal to the product of (i) the number of Registrable Shares that remain available for registration after the underwriter’s cut back and (ii) such Holder’s Ownership Percentage, as that term is defined in Section 1.4. Notwithstanding the foregoing, (a) no such reduction shall be made with respect to securities being offered by the Company for its own account, and (b) any person who has or is granted registration rights, which have priority over the rights, granted hereunder shall have priority in case of any cut back. If any Holder disapproves of the terms of such underwriting, it may elect to withdraw therefrom by written notice to the Company and the underwriter. 

2.2.Effectiveness

(a)The Company will use its best efforts to maintain the effectiveness for the period described in the plan of distribution set forth in the registration statement. 

(b)The Company will from time to time amend or supplement such registration statement and the prospectus contained therein as and to the extent necessary to comply with the Securities Act and any applicable state securities statute or regulation. 

2.3.Indemnification

(a)Indemnification of Holders. In the event that the Company registers any of the Registrable Shares under the Securities Act, the Company will indemnify and hold harmless each Holder and each underwriter of the Registrable Shares so registered (including any broker or dealer through whom such shares may be sold) and each person, if any, who controls such Holder within the meaning of the Securities Act or any such underwriter within the meaning of Section 15 of the Securities Act from and against any and all losses, claims, damages, expenses or liabilities (or any action in respect thereof), joint or several, to which they or any of them become subject under the Securities Act or under any other statute or at common law or otherwise, and, except as hereinafter provided, will reimburse each such Holder, each such underwriter and each  


ConfidentialPage 68/28/2019 


such controlling person, if any, for any legal or other such expenses are incurred, in ing, defending, or settling any actions whether or not resulting in any liability, insofar as such losses, claims, damages, expenses, liabilities or actions arise out of or are based upon (i) any untrue statement or alleged untrue statement of a material fact contained in the registration statement, in any preliminary or amended preliminary prospectus or in the prospectus (or the registration statement or prospectus as from time to time amended or supplemented by the Company); (ii) arise out of or are based upon the omission or alleged omission to state therein a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary in order to make the statements therein not misleading; or (iii) any violation by the Company of the Securities Act, the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”), a state securities law or any rule or regulation under the Securities Act, the Exchange Act or any state securities law; provided, however, that the indemnity contained in this Section 2.3(a) will not apply where such untrue statement or omission was made in such registration statement, preliminary or amended, preliminary prospectus or prospectus in reliance upon and in conformity with information furnished in writing to the Company in connection therewith by such Holder of Registrable Shares, any such underwriter or any such controlling person expressly for use therein. Promptly after receipt by any Holder of Registrable Shares, any underwriter or any controlling person of notice of the commencement of any action in respect of which indemnity may be sought against the Company, such Holder of Registrable Shares, or such underwriter or such controlling person, as the case may be, will notify the Company in writing of the commencement thereof, and, subject to the provisions hereinafter stated, the Company shall assume the defense of such action (including the employment of counsel, who shall be counsel reasonably satisfactory to such Holder of Registrable Shares, such underwriter or such controlling person, as the case may be), and the payment of expenses insofar as such action shall relate to any alleged liability in respect of which indemnity may be sought against the Company. Such Holder of Registrable Shares, any such underwriter or any such controlling person shall have the right to employ separate counsel in any such action and to participate in the defense thereof in the event the representation of such Holder, underwriter or controlling person by counsel retained by or on the behalf of the Company would be inappropriate due to conflicts of interest between any such person and any other party represented by such counsel in such proceeding or action, in which case the Company shall pay, as incurred, the fees and expenses of such separate counsel. The Company shall not be liable to indemnify any person under this Section 2.3(a) for any settlement of any such action effected without the Company’s consent (which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld). The Company shall not, except with the approval of each party being indemnified under this Section 2.3(a) (which approval will not be unreasonably withheld), consent to entry of any judgment or enter into any settlement that does not include as an unconditional term thereof the giving by the claimant or plaintiff to the parties being so indemnified of a release from all liability in respect to such claim or litigation.

(b)Indemnification of Company. In the event that the Company registers any of the Registrable Shares under the Securities Act, each Holder of the Registrable Shares so registered will indemnify and hold harmless the Company, each of its directors, each of its officers who have signed the registration statement, each underwriter of the Registrable Shares so registered (including any broker or dealer through whom any of such shares may be sold) and each person, if any, who controls the Company within the meaning of Section 15 of the Securities Act from and against any and all losses, claims, damages, expenses or liabilities (or any action in respect thereof), joint or several, to which they or any of them may become subject under the  


ConfidentialPage 78/28/2019 


Securities Act or under any other statute or at common law or otherwise, and, except as hereinafter provided, will reimburse the Company and each such director, officer, underwriter or controlling person for any legal or other expenses reasonably incurred by them or any of them, as such expenses are incurred, in connection with investigating or defending any actions whether or not resulting in any liability, insofar as such losses, claims, damages, expenses, liabilities or actions arise out of or are based upon any untrue statement or alleged untrue statement of a material fact contained in the registration statement, in any preliminary or amended preliminary prospectus or in the prospectus (or the registration statement or prospectus as from time to time amended or supplemented) or arise out of or are based upon the omission or alleged omission to state therein a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary in order to make the statements therein not misleading, but only insofar as any such statement or omission was made in reliance upon and in conformity with information furnished in writing to the Company in connection therewith by such Holder, expressly for use therein; provided, however, that such Holder’s obligations hereunder shall be limited to an amount equal to the net proceeds to such Holder of the Registrable Shares sold in such registration. Promptly after receipt of notice of the commencement of any action in respect of which indemnity may be sought against such Holder of Registrable Shares, the Company will notify such Holder of Registrable Shares in writing of the commencement thereof, and such Holder of Registrable Shares shall, subject to the provisions hereinafter stated, assume the defense of such action (including the employment of counsel, who shall be counsel reasonably satisfactory to the Company) and the payment of expenses insofar as such action shall relate to the alleged liability in respect of which indemnity may be sought against such Holder of Registrable Shares. The Company and each such director, officer, underwriter or controlling person shall have the right to employ separate counsel in any such action and to participate in the defense thereof in the event the representation of the Company, any of its officers or directors or any underwriter or controlling person by counsel retained by or on the behalf of such Holder would be inappropriate due to conflicts of interest between any such person and any other party represented by such counsel in such proceeding or action, in which case such Holder shall pay, as incurred, the fees and expenses of such separate counsel, but only one such counsel. Notwithstanding the two preceding sentences, if the action is one in which the Company may be obligated to indemnify any Holder of Registrable Shares pursuant to Section 2.3, the Company shall have the right to assume the defense of such action, subject to the right of such Holders to participate therein as permitted by Section 2.3. Such Holder shall not be liable to indemnify any person for any settlement of any such action effected without such Holder’s consent (which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld). Such Holder shall not, except with the approval of the Company (which approval shall not be unreasonably withheld), consent to entry of any judgment or enter into any settlement that does not include as an unconditional term thereof the giving by the claimant or plaintiff to the party being so indemnified of a release from all liability in respect to such claim or litigation.

 

2.4.Contribution. If the indemnification provided for in Section 2.3 is held by a court of competent jurisdiction to be unavailable to an indemnified party with respect to any loss, liability, claim, damage, or expense referred to therein, then the indemnifying party, in lieu of indemnifying such indemnified party hereunder, shall contribute to the amount paid or payable by such indemnified party as a result of such loss, liability, claim, damage, or expense in such proportion as is appropriate to reflect the relative fault of the indemnifying party on the one hand and of the indemnified party on the other in connection with the statements or omissions that resulted in such loss, liability, claim, damage, or expense as well as any other relevant equitable  


ConfidentialPage 88/28/2019 


considerations. The relative fault of the indemnifying party and of the indemnified party shall be determined by reference to, among other things, whether the untrue or alleged untrue statement of a material fact or the omission to state a material fact relates to information supplied by the indemnifying party or by the indemnified party and the parties’ relative intent, knowledge, access to information, and opportunity to correct or prevent such statement or omission.

2.5.Exchange Act Registration. With a view to making available to the Holders the benefits of Rule 144 promulgated under the Act and any other rule or regulation of the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) that may at any time permit a Holder to sell securities of the Company to the public without registration or pursuant to a registration on Form S-3, the Company agrees to: 

(a)File on a timely basis with the Securities and Exchange Commission all information that the Commission may require under either of Section 13 or Section 15(d) of the Exchange Act and, so long as it is required to file such information, take all action that may be required as a condition to the availability of Rule 144 under the Securities Act (or any successor exempted rule hereinafter in effect) with respect to the Company’s common stock; and 

 

(b)Furnish to any Holder forthwith upon request (i) a written statement by the Company as to its compliance with the reporting requirements of Rule 144, (ii) a copy of the most recent annual or quarterly report of the Company as filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission, and (iii) any other reports and documents that a Holder may reasonably request in availing itself of any rule or regulation of the SEC allowing a Holder to sell any such Registrable Shares without registration. 

 

2.6.Further Obligations of the Company. Whenever the Company is required hereunder to register Registrable Shares, it agrees that it shall also do the following: 

 

(a)Furnish to each selling Holder such copies of each preliminary and final prospectus and any other documents that such Holder may reasonably request to facilitate the public offering of its Registrable Shares; 

 

(b)Use its best efforts to register or qualify the Registrable Shares to be registered pursuant to this Agreement under the applicable securities or “blue sky” laws of such jurisdictions as any selling Holder may reasonably request and keep such registration or qualification effective during the period set forth in Section 2.6(j) below; provided, however, that the Company shall not be obligated to qualify to do business in any jurisdiction where it is not then so qualified or to take any action that would subject it to the service of process in suits other than those arising out of the offer or sale of the securities covered by the registration statement in any jurisdiction where it is not then so subject; 

 

(c)Notify each Holder of Registrable Shares covered by such registration statement at any time when a prospectus relating thereto is required to be delivered under the Act of the happening of any event as a result of which the prospectus included in such registration statement, as then in effect, includes an untrue statement of a material fact or omits to  


ConfidentialPage 98/28/2019 


state a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein not misleading in the light of the circumstances then existing;

 

(d)Cause all such Registrable Shares registered pursuant hereunder to be listed on each securities exchange on which similar securities issued by the Company are then listed; 

 

(e)Provide a transfer agent and registrar for all Registrable Shares registered pursuant hereunder and a CUSIP number for all such Registrable Shares, in each case not later than the effective date of such registration; 

 

(f)In the event of any underwritten public offering, enter into and perform its obligations under an underwriting agreement and other customary agreements, in usual and customary form, with the managing underwriter of such offering. Each Holder participating in such underwriting shall also enter into and perform its obligations under such an agreement; 

(g)Furnish, at the request of any Holder requesting registration of Registrable Shares pursuant to this Section 2, on the date that such Registrable Shares are delivered to the underwriters for sale in connection with a registration pursuant to this Section 2, if such securities are being sold through underwriters, or, if such securities are not being sold through underwriters, on the date that the registration statement with respect to such securities becomes effective: 

 

(i)at the request of any Holder, to furnish on the effective date of the Registration Statement or, if the offering is underwritten, on the date that Registrable Shares are delivered to the underwriters for sale, an opinion of counsel, dated such date, representing the Company for the purposes of such registration, addressed to the underwriters and to such Holder, stating that such registration statement has become effective under the Securities Act and that (i) to the best knowledge of such counsel, no stop order suspending the effectiveness thereof has been issued and no proceedings for that purpose have been instituted or are pending or contemplated under the Securities Act, (ii) the registration statement, the related prospectus and each amendment or supplement thereof comply as to form in all material respects with the requirements of the Securities Act (except that such counsel need not express any opinion as to financial statements or other financial data contained therein), and (iii) such other opinions as reasonably may be requested by counsel for the underwriters or by such Holder or its counsel; 

 

(ii)“comfort” letters signed by the Company’s independent public accountants who have examined and reported on the Company’s financial statements included in the registration statement, to the extent permitted by the standards of the American Institute of Certified Public Accountants, covering substantially the same matters with respect to the registration statement (and the prospectus included therein) and (in the case of the accountants’ “comfort” letters) with respect to events subsequent to the date of the financial statements, as are customarily covered in opinions of issuer’s counsel and in accountants’ “comfort” letters delivered to the underwriters in underwritten public offerings of securities, but only if and to the extent that the Company is required to deliver or cause the delivery of such opinion or “comfort” letters to the underwriters in an underwritten public offering of securities; 


ConfidentialPage 108/28/2019 


(h)Make available for inspection by any seller of Registrable Shares, any underwriter participating in any disposition pursuant to such registration statement, and any attorney, accountant or other agent retained by any such seller or underwriter, all financial and other records, pertinent corporate documents and properties of the Company, and cause the Company’s officers, directors, employees and independent accountants to supply all information reasonably requested by any such seller, underwriter, attorney, accountant or agent in connection with such registration statement; 

 

(i)Furnish to each selling Holder, upon request, a copy of all documents filed and all correspondence from or to the Securities and Exchange Commission in connection with any such offering unless confidential treatment of such information has been requested of the Securities and Exchange Commission; 

 

(j)Keep such registration continuously effective for such reasonable period necessary to permit the Holder or Holders to complete the distribution described in the registration statement relating thereto or 180 days, whichever first occurs; 

 

(k)promptly prepare and file with the SEC such amendments and supplements to such registration statement and the prospectus used in connection therewith as may be necessary to comply with the provisions of the Securities Act, and to keep such registration statement effective for that period of time specified in Section 2.6(j) above; 

 

(l)use best efforts to obtain the withdrawal of any order suspending the effectiveness of a registration statement, or the lifting of any suspension of the qualification of any of the Registrable Shares for sale in any jurisdiction, at the earliest possible moment; and 

 

(m)Take such other actions as shall be reasonably requested by any Holder. 

 

2.7.Expenses. In the case of a registration under Section 2.1 the Company shall bear all costs and expenses of each such registration, including, but not limited to, printing, legal and accounting expenses, Securities and Exchange Commission filing fees and “blue sky” fees and expenses; provided, however, that the Company shall have no obligation to pay or otherwise bear (i) any portion of the fees or disbursements of more than one counsel for the Holders in connection with the registration of their Registrable Shares, which in no event shall exceed $75,000, (ii) any portion of the underwriter’s commissions or discounts attributable to the Registrable Shares being offered and sold by the Holders of Registrable Shares, or (iii) any of such expenses if the payment of such expenses by the Company is prohibited by the laws of a state in which such offering is qualified and only to the extent so prohibited. 

 

2.8.Transfer of Registration Rights. The registration rights of a Holder of Registrable Shares under this Agreement may be transferred as set forth below provided (1) the transferee is bound by the terms of this Agreement and (2) the Company is given written notice prior to such transfer. Accordingly, the registration rights of a Holder of Registrable Shares may be transferred (i) to any partner or affiliate of a Holder, (ii) in the case of an individual, to any member of the immediate family of such individual or to any trust for the benefit of the individual or any such family member or members, or (iii) to any other transferee which receives at least 1,000,000 Registrable Shares. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the registration rights of a Holder under this Agreement may not be transferred to an entity, or a person controlled by, under common control with or controlling such entity, which is a direct competitor of the Company. 


ConfidentialPage 118/28/2019 


 

2.9.Market Stand-Off Agreement. Provided that all Holders are treated equally and all officers and directors of the Company are also so bound, no Holder shall, to the extent requested by any managing underwriter of the Company, sell or otherwise transfer or dispose of (other than to donees who agree to be similarly bound) any Registrable Shares during a period (the “Stand-Off Period”) not to exceed 180 days following the effective date of a registration statement of any secondary offering of the Company under the Securities Act, (or in each case such shorter period as the Company or managing underwriter may authorize), and except in each case, for securities sold as part of the offering covered by such registration statement in accordance with the provisions of this Agreement. In order to enforce the foregoing covenant, the Company may impose stock transfer restrictions with respect to the Registrable Shares of each Holder until the end of the Stand-Off Period; provided, that (a) the Holders shall not be subject to this provision unless each officer, director and each person then owning greater than one percent (1%) of the outstanding Common Stock (on a fully diluted basis) has executed and remains bound by a comparable obligation; and (b) nothing herein shall prevent any Holder from making a distribution of Registrable Shares to an affiliate of such Holder that is otherwise in compliance with applicable securities laws, so long as such distributee agrees to be so bound. 

 

Notwithstanding the foregoing, the obligations described in this Section 2.9 shall not apply to a registration relating solely to employee benefit plans on Form S-1 or Form S-8 or similar forms which may be promulgated in the future, or a registration relating solely to an SEC Rule 145 transaction on Form S-4 or similar forms which may be promulgated in the future.

2.10.Termination of Registration Rights. The obligations of the Company to register any Holder’s Registrable Shares pursuant to this Section 2 shall terminate at such time as all of a Holder’s Registrable Shares may immediately be sold under Rule 144 taking into account any volume limitations. 

 

3.ASSIGNABILITY. THIS AGREEMENT SHALL BE BINDING UPON AND INURE TO THE BENEFIT OF THE RESPECTIVE HEIRS, SUCCESSORS AND ASSIGNS OF THE PARTIES HERETO. 

 

4.LAW. THIS AGREEMENT SHALL BE GOVERNED BY AND CONSTRUED IN ACCORDANCE WITH THE LAWS OF THE STATE OF CALIFORNIA. 

 

5.AMENDMENT. ANY MODIFICATION, AMENDMENT, OR WAIVER OF THIS AGREEMENT OR ANY PROVISION HEREOF, EITHER RETROACTIVELY OR PROSPECTIVELY, SHALL BE IN WRITING AND BE EXECUTED BY THE COMPANY AND THE HOLDERS OF NOT LESS THAN FIFTY PERCENT (50%) OF THE REGISTRABLE SHARES WHICH SHALL BE BINDING UPON ALL OF THE PARTIES HERETO.

EXHIBIT “A”

 

REGISTRATION RIGHTS AGREEMENT

 

REGISTRATION RIGHTS AGREEMENT

This Registration Rights Agreement (“Agreement”) is made and entered into as of the 15 day of May, 2019 (the “Effective Date”), by and between Michael Gabriele, an individual, at 4753 Rafi Road, Easton, PA 18405 (“Gabriele”) and PearTrack Security Systems, Inc., a Nevada corporation, having a principal place of business at 1327 Ocean Avenue, Suite B, Santa Monica, CA 94501 (“PTSS” or the “Company”).

 

WHEREAS, in connection with the purchase by Gabriele of six million six hundred and sixty-six thousand (6,667,000) shares of the Company’s Common Stock (the “Purchased Shares”), the Company has agreed to enter into this Registration Rights Agreement.

 

NOW THEREFORE, in consideration of the mutual agreements, covenants and conditions and releases contained herein, the Company and the Purchaser hereby agree as follows:

 

1.DEFINITIONS. AS USED HEREIN: 

1.1.The term “Holder” means any person owning or having the right to acquire Registrable Shares or any assignee thereof in accordance with Section 2.8 hereof. 

1.2.The terms “register,” “registered,” and “registration” refer to a registration effected by preparing and filing a registration statement in compliance with the Securities Act (as defined below) and the applicable rules and regulations thereunder, and the declaration or ordering of the effectiveness of such registration statement. 

1.3.For the purposes hereof, the term “Registrable Shares” means and includes (i) the Purchased Shares and (ii) any common stock of the Company issued or issuable as a result of a stock split, dividend or other distribution with respect to or in exchange for or in replacement of the Purchased Shares. 

1.4.The term “Ownership Percentage” means and includes, with respect to each Holder of Registrable Shares requesting inclusion of Registrable Shares in an offering pursuant to this Agreement, the number of Registrable Shares held by such Holder divided by the aggregate of (i) all Registrable Shares held by all Holders requesting registration in such offering and (ii) the total number of all other securities entitled to registration pursuant to any agreement with the Company and held by others participating in the underwriting. 

1.5.The term “Securities Act” means the Securities Act of 1933, as amended. 

1.6.The term “Public Offering” means and includes the closing of an underwritten public offering pursuant to an effective registration statement under the Securities Act, covering the offer and sale of securities to the general public for the account of the Company. 


ConfidentialPage 58/28/2019 


2.REGISTRATION RIGHTS. 

2.1.“Piggy Back” Registration. If at any time the Company shall determine to register under the Securities Act (including pursuant to a demand of any stockholder of the Company exercising registration rights) any of its common stock (other than a registration relating solely to the sale of securities to participants in a Company employee benefits plan, a registration on any form which does not include substantially the same information as would be required to be included in a registration statement covering the sale of the Registrable Shares or a registration in which the only common stock being registered is common stock issuable upon conversion of debt securities which are also being registered), it shall send to each Holder written notice of such determination and, if within ten (10) business days after receipt of such notice, such Holder shall so request in writing, the Company shall use its best efforts to include in such registration statement all of the Registrable Shares that such Holder requests to be registered, except that if, in connection with any offering involving an underwriting of common stock to be issued by the Company, the managing underwriter shall impose a limitation on the number of shares of common stock included in any such registration statement because, in such underwriter’s judgment, such limitation is necessary based on market conditions, the Company shall be obligated to include in such registration statement, with respect to the requesting Holder, only an amount of Registrable Shares equal to the product of (i) the number of Registrable Shares that remain available for registration after the underwriter’s cut back and (ii) such Holder’s Ownership Percentage, as that term is defined in Section 1.4. Notwithstanding the foregoing, (a) no such reduction shall be made with respect to securities being offered by the Company for its own account, and (b) any person who has or is granted registration rights, which have priority over the rights, granted hereunder shall have priority in case of any cut back. If any Holder disapproves of the terms of such underwriting, it may elect to withdraw therefrom by written notice to the Company and the underwriter. 

2.2.Effectiveness

(a)The Company will use its best efforts to maintain the effectiveness for the period described in the plan of distribution set forth in the registration statement. 

(b)The Company will from time to time amend or supplement such registration statement and the prospectus contained therein as and to the extent necessary to comply with the Securities Act and any applicable state securities statute or regulation. 

2.3.Indemnification

(a)Indemnification of Holders. In the event that the Company registers any of the Registrable Shares under the Securities Act, the Company will indemnify and hold harmless each Holder and each underwriter of the Registrable Shares so registered (including any broker or dealer through whom such shares may be sold) and each person, if any, who controls such Holder within the meaning of the Securities Act or any such underwriter within the meaning of Section 15 of the Securities Act from and against any and all losses, claims, damages, expenses or liabilities (or any action in respect thereof), joint or several, to which they or any of them become subject under the Securities Act or under any other statute or at common law or otherwise, and, except as hereinafter provided, will reimburse each such Holder, each such underwriter and each  


ConfidentialPage 68/28/2019 


such controlling person, if any, for any legal or other such expenses are incurred, in ing, defending, or settling any actions whether or not resulting in any liability, insofar as such losses, claims, damages, expenses, liabilities or actions arise out of or are based upon (i) any untrue statement or alleged untrue statement of a material fact contained in the registration statement, in any preliminary or amended preliminary prospectus or in the prospectus (or the registration statement or prospectus as from time to time amended or supplemented by the Company); (ii) arise out of or are based upon the omission or alleged omission to state therein a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary in order to make the statements therein not misleading; or (iii) any violation by the Company of the Securities Act, the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”), a state securities law or any rule or regulation under the Securities Act, the Exchange Act or any state securities law; provided, however, that the indemnity contained in this Section 2.3(a) will not apply where such untrue statement or omission was made in such registration statement, preliminary or amended, preliminary prospectus or prospectus in reliance upon and in conformity with information furnished in writing to the Company in connection therewith by such Holder of Registrable Shares, any such underwriter or any such controlling person expressly for use therein. Promptly after receipt by any Holder of Registrable Shares, any underwriter or any controlling person of notice of the commencement of any action in respect of which indemnity may be sought against the Company, such Holder of Registrable Shares, or such underwriter or such controlling person, as the case may be, will notify the Company in writing of the commencement thereof, and, subject to the provisions hereinafter stated, the Company shall assume the defense of such action (including the employment of counsel, who shall be counsel reasonably satisfactory to such Holder of Registrable Shares, such underwriter or such controlling person, as the case may be), and the payment of expenses insofar as such action shall relate to any alleged liability in respect of which indemnity may be sought against the Company. Such Holder of Registrable Shares, any such underwriter or any such controlling person shall have the right to employ separate counsel in any such action and to participate in the defense thereof in the event the representation of such Holder, underwriter or controlling person by counsel retained by or on the behalf of the Company would be inappropriate due to conflicts of interest between any such person and any other party represented by such counsel in such proceeding or action, in which case the Company shall pay, as incurred, the fees and expenses of such separate counsel. The Company shall not be liable to indemnify any person under this Section 2.3(a) for any settlement of any such action effected without the Company’s consent (which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld). The Company shall not, except with the approval of each party being indemnified under this Section 2.3(a) (which approval will not be unreasonably withheld), consent to entry of any judgment or enter into any settlement that does not include as an unconditional term thereof the giving by the claimant or plaintiff to the parties being so indemnified of a release from all liability in respect to such claim or litigation.

(b)Indemnification of Company. In the event that the Company registers any of the Registrable Shares under the Securities Act, each Holder of the Registrable Shares so registered will indemnify and hold harmless the Company, each of its directors, each of its officers who have signed the registration statement, each underwriter of the Registrable Shares so registered (including any broker or dealer through whom any of such shares may be sold) and each person, if any, who controls the Company within the meaning of Section 15 of the Securities Act from and against any and all losses, claims, damages, expenses or liabilities (or any action in respect thereof), joint or several, to which they or any of them may become subject under the  


ConfidentialPage 78/28/2019 


Securities Act or under any other statute or at common law or otherwise, and, except as hereinafter provided, will reimburse the Company and each such director, officer, underwriter or controlling person for any legal or other expenses reasonably incurred by them or any of them, as such expenses are incurred, in connection with investigating or defending any actions whether or not resulting in any liability, insofar as such losses, claims, damages, expenses, liabilities or actions arise out of or are based upon any untrue statement or alleged untrue statement of a material fact contained in the registration statement, in any preliminary or amended preliminary prospectus or in the prospectus (or the registration statement or prospectus as from time to time amended or supplemented) or arise out of or are based upon the omission or alleged omission to state therein a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary in order to make the statements therein not misleading, but only insofar as any such statement or omission was made in reliance upon and in conformity with information furnished in writing to the Company in connection therewith by such Holder, expressly for use therein; provided, however, that such Holder’s obligations hereunder shall be limited to an amount equal to the net proceeds to such Holder of the Registrable Shares sold in such registration. Promptly after receipt of notice of the commencement of any action in respect of which indemnity may be sought against such Holder of Registrable Shares, the Company will notify such Holder of Registrable Shares in writing of the commencement thereof, and such Holder of Registrable Shares shall, subject to the provisions hereinafter stated, assume the defense of such action (including the employment of counsel, who shall be counsel reasonably satisfactory to the Company) and the payment of expenses insofar as such action shall relate to the alleged liability in respect of which indemnity may be sought against such Holder of Registrable Shares. The Company and each such director, officer, underwriter or controlling person shall have the right to employ separate counsel in any such action and to participate in the defense thereof in the event the representation of the Company, any of its officers or directors or any underwriter or controlling person by counsel retained by or on the behalf of such Holder would be inappropriate due to conflicts of interest between any such person and any other party represented by such counsel in such proceeding or action, in which case such Holder shall pay, as incurred, the fees and expenses of such separate counsel, but only one such counsel. Notwithstanding the two preceding sentences, if the action is one in which the Company may be obligated to indemnify any Holder of Registrable Shares pursuant to Section 2.3, the Company shall have the right to assume the defense of such action, subject to the right of such Holders to participate therein as permitted by Section 2.3. Such Holder shall not be liable to indemnify any person for any settlement of any such action effected without such Holder’s consent (which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld). Such Holder shall not, except with the approval of the Company (which approval shall not be unreasonably withheld), consent to entry of any judgment or enter into any settlement that does not include as an unconditional term thereof the giving by the claimant or plaintiff to the party being so indemnified of a release from all liability in respect to such claim or litigation.

2.4.Contribution. If the indemnification provided for in Section 2.3 is held by a court of competent jurisdiction to be unavailable to an indemnified party with respect to any loss, liability, claim, damage, or expense referred to therein, then the indemnifying party, in lieu of indemnifying such indemnified party hereunder, shall contribute to the amount paid or payable by such indemnified party as a result of such loss, liability, claim, damage, or expense in such proportion as is appropriate to reflect the relative fault of the indemnifying party on the one hand and of the indemnified party on the other in connection with the statements or omissions that resulted in such loss, liability, claim, damage, or expense as well as any other relevant equitable considerations. The relative fault of the indemnifying party and of the indemnified party shall be  


ConfidentialPage 88/28/2019 


determined by reference to, among other things, whether the untrue or alleged untrue statement of a material fact or the omission to state a material fact relates to information supplied by the indemnifying party or by the indemnified party and the parties’ relative intent, knowledge, access to information, and opportunity to correct or prevent such statement or omission.

2.5.Exchange Act Registration. With a view to making available to the Holders the benefits of Rule 144 promulgated under the Act and any other rule or regulation of the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) that may at any time permit a Holder to sell securities of the Company to the public without registration or pursuant to a registration on Form S-3, the Company agrees to: 

(a)File on a timely basis with the Securities and Exchange Commission all information that the Commission may require under either of Section 13 or Section 15(d) of the Exchange Act and, so long as it is required to file such information, take all action that may be required as a condition to the availability of Rule 144 under the Securities Act (or any successor exempted rule hereinafter in effect) with respect to the Company’s common stock; and 

 

(b)Furnish to any Holder forthwith upon request (i) a written statement by the Company as to its compliance with the reporting requirements of Rule 144, (ii) a copy of the most recent annual or quarterly report of the Company as filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission, and (iii) any other reports and documents that a Holder may reasonably request in availing itself of any rule or regulation of the SEC allowing a Holder to sell any such Registrable Shares without registration. 

 

2.6.Further Obligations of the Company. Whenever the Company is required hereunder to register Registrable Shares, it agrees that it shall also do the following: 

 

(a)Furnish to each selling Holder such copies of each preliminary and final prospectus and any other documents that such Holder may reasonably request to facilitate the public offering of its Registrable Shares; 

 

(b)Use its best efforts to register or qualify the Registrable Shares to be registered pursuant to this Agreement under the applicable securities or “blue sky” laws of such jurisdictions as any selling Holder may reasonably request and keep such registration or qualification effective during the period set forth in Section 2.6(j) below; provided, however, that the Company shall not be obligated to qualify to do business in any jurisdiction where it is not then so qualified or to take any action that would subject it to the service of process in suits other than those arising out of the offer or sale of the securities covered by the registration statement in any jurisdiction where it is not then so subject; 

 

(c)Notify each Holder of Registrable Shares covered by such registration statement at any time when a prospectus relating thereto is required to be delivered under the Act of the happening of any event as a result of which the prospectus included in such registration statement, as then in effect, includes an untrue statement of a material fact or omits to state a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein not misleading in the light of the circumstances then existing; 


ConfidentialPage 98/28/2019 


 

(d)Cause all such Registrable Shares registered pursuant hereunder to be listed on each securities exchange on which similar securities issued by the Company are then listed; 

 

(e)Provide a transfer agent and registrar for all Registrable Shares registered pursuant hereunder and a CUSIP number for all such Registrable Shares, in each case not later than the effective date of such registration; 

 

(f)In the event of any underwritten public offering, enter into and perform its obligations under an underwriting agreement and other customary agreements, in usual and customary form, with the managing underwriter of such offering. Each Holder participating in such underwriting shall also enter into and perform its obligations under such an agreement; 

(g)Furnish, at the request of any Holder requesting registration of Registrable Shares pursuant to this Section 2, on the date that such Registrable Shares are delivered to the underwriters for sale in connection with a registration pursuant to this Section 2, if such securities are being sold through underwriters, or, if such securities are not being sold through underwriters, on the date that the registration statement with respect to such securities becomes effective: 

 

(i)at the request of any Holder, to furnish on the effective date of the Registration Statement or, if the offering is underwritten, on the date that Registrable Shares are delivered to the underwriters for sale, an opinion of counsel, dated such date, representing the Company for the purposes of such registration, addressed to the underwriters and to such Holder, stating that such registration statement has become effective under the Securities Act and that (i) to the best knowledge of such counsel, no stop order suspending the effectiveness thereof has been issued and no proceedings for that purpose have been instituted or are pending or contemplated under the Securities Act, (ii) the registration statement, the related prospectus and each amendment or supplement thereof comply as to form in all material respects with the requirements of the Securities Act (except that such counsel need not express any opinion as to financial statements or other financial data contained therein), and (iii) such other opinions as reasonably may be requested by counsel for the underwriters or by such Holder or its counsel; 

 

(ii)“comfort” letters signed by the Company’s independent public accountants who have examined and reported on the Company’s financial statements included in the registration statement, to the extent permitted by the standards of the American Institute of Certified Public Accountants, covering substantially the same matters with respect to the registration statement (and the prospectus included therein) and (in the case of the accountants’ “comfort” letters) with respect to events subsequent to the date of the financial statements, as are customarily covered in opinions of issuer’s counsel and in accountants’ “comfort” letters delivered to the underwriters in underwritten public offerings of securities, but only if and to the extent that the Company is required to deliver or cause the delivery of such opinion or “comfort” letters to the underwriters in an underwritten public offering of securities; 

 

(h)Make available for inspection by any seller of Registrable Shares, any underwriter participating in any disposition pursuant to such registration statement, and any  


ConfidentialPage 108/28/2019 


attorney, accountant or other agent retained by any such seller or underwriter, all financial and other records, pertinent corporate documents and properties of the Company, and cause the Company’s officers, directors, employees and independent accountants to supply all information reasonably requested by any such seller, underwriter, attorney, accountant or agent in connection with such registration statement;

 

(i)Furnish to each selling Holder, upon request, a copy of all documents filed and all correspondence from or to the Securities and Exchange Commission in connection with any such offering unless confidential treatment of such information has been requested of the Securities and Exchange Commission; 

 

(j)Keep such registration continuously effective for such reasonable period necessary to permit the Holder or Holders to complete the distribution described in the registration statement relating thereto or 180 days, whichever first occurs; 

 

(k)promptly prepare and file with the SEC such amendments and supplements to such registration statement and the prospectus used in connection therewith as may be necessary to comply with the provisions of the Securities Act, and to keep such registration statement effective for that period of time specified in Section 2.6(j) above; 

 

(l)use best efforts to obtain the withdrawal of any order suspending the effectiveness of a registration statement, or the lifting of any suspension of the qualification of any of the Registrable Shares for sale in any jurisdiction, at the earliest possible moment; and 

 

(m)Take such other actions as shall be reasonably requested by any Holder. 

 

2.7.Expenses. In the case of a registration under Section 2.1 the Company shall bear all costs and expenses of each such registration, including, but not limited to, printing, legal and accounting expenses, Securities and Exchange Commission filing fees and “blue sky” fees and expenses; provided, however, that the Company shall have no obligation to pay or otherwise bear (i) any portion of the fees or disbursements of more than one counsel for the Holders in connection with the registration of their Registrable Shares, which in no event shall exceed $75,000, (ii) any portion of the underwriter’s commissions or discounts attributable to the Registrable Shares being offered and sold by the Holders of Registrable Shares, or (iii) any of such expenses if the payment of such expenses by the Company is prohibited by the laws of a state in which such offering is qualified and only to the extent so prohibited. 

 

2.8.Transfer of Registration Rights. The registration rights of a Holder of Registrable Shares under this Agreement may be transferred as set forth below provided (1) the transferee is bound by the terms of this Agreement and (2) the Company is given written notice prior to such transfer. Accordingly, the registration rights of a Holder of Registrable Shares may be transferred (i) to any partner or affiliate of a Holder, (ii) in the case of an individual, to any member of the immediate family of such individual or to any trust for the benefit of the individual or any such family member or members, or (iii) to any other transferee which receives at least 1,000,000 Registrable Shares. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the registration rights of a Holder under this Agreement may not be transferred to an entity, or a person controlled by, under common control with or controlling such entity, which is a direct competitor of the Company. 


ConfidentialPage 118/28/2019 


2.9.Market Stand-Off Agreement. Provided that all Holders are treated equally and all officers and directors of the Company are also so bound, no Holder shall, to the extent requested by any managing underwriter of the Company, sell or otherwise transfer or dispose of (other than to donees who agree to be similarly bound) any Registrable Shares during a period (the “Stand-Off Period”) not to exceed 180 days following the effective date of a registration statement of any secondary offering of the Company under the Securities Act, (or in each case such shorter period as the Company or managing underwriter may authorize), and except in each case, for securities sold as part of the offering covered by such registration statement in accordance with the provisions of this Agreement. In order to enforce the foregoing covenant, the Company may impose stock transfer restrictions with respect to the Registrable Shares of each Holder until the end of the Stand-Off Period; provided, that (a) the Holders shall not be subject to this provision unless each officer, director and each person then owning greater than one percent (1%) of the outstanding Common Stock (on a fully diluted basis) has executed and remains bound by a comparable obligation; and (b) nothing herein shall prevent any Holder from making a distribution of Registrable Shares to an affiliate of such Holder that is otherwise in compliance with applicable securities laws, so long as such distributee agrees to be so bound. 

 

Notwithstanding the foregoing, the obligations described in this Section 2.9 shall not apply to a registration relating solely to employee benefit plans on Form S-1 or Form S-8 or similar forms which may be promulgated in the future, or a registration relating solely to an SEC Rule 145 transaction on Form S-4 or similar forms which may be promulgated in the future.

2.10.Termination of Registration Rights. The obligations of the Company to register any Holder’s Registrable Shares pursuant to this Section 2 shall terminate at such time as all of a Holder’s Registrable Shares may immediately be sold under Rule 144 taking into account any volume limitations. 

 

3.ASSIGNABILITY. THIS AGREEMENT SHALL BE BINDING UPON AND INURE TO THE BENEFIT OF THE RESPECTIVE HEIRS, SUCCESSORS AND ASSIGNS OF THE PARTIES HERETO. 

 

4.LAW. THIS AGREEMENT SHALL BE GOVERNED BY AND CONSTRUED IN ACCORDANCE WITH THE LAWS OF THE STATE OF CALIFORNIA. 

 

5.AMENDMENT. ANY MODIFICATION, AMENDMENT, OR WAIVER OF THIS AGREEMENT OR ANY PROVISION HEREOF, EITHER RETROACTIVELY OR PROSPECTIVELY, SHALL BE IN WRITING AND BE EXECUTED BY THE COMPANY AND THE HOLDERS OF NOT LESS THAN FIFTY PERCENT (50%) OF THE REGISTRABLE SHARES WHICH SHALL BE BINDING UPON ALL OF THE PARTIES HERETO. 

 

6.COUNTERPARTS. THIS AGREEMENT MAY BE EXECUTED IN ANY NUMBER OF COUNTERPARTS AND VIA FACSIMILE, EACH OF WHICH SHALL BE AN ORIGINAL, BUT ALL OF WHICH TOGETHER SHALL CONSTITUTE ONE INSTRUMENT.

2.Definitions.  Unless otherwise provided herein, terms used herein that are defined in the Plan and not defined herein shall have the meanings attributed thereto in the Plan. 

3.Exercise Schedule. Except as otherwise provided in Sections 6 or 10 of this Agreement, or in the Plan, the Option is exercisable in installments as specified on Schedule I hereof beside the caption “Vesting”, which shall be cumulative. To the extent that the Option has become exercisable with respect to a percentage of Shares as provided on Schedule I hereof beside the caption “Vesting” on each date (the “Vesting Date”) upon which the Optionee shall be entitled to exercise the Option with respect to the percentage of Shares granted as indicated for each Vesting Date (provided that the Continuous Service of the Optionee continues through and on the applicable Vesting Date), the Option may thereafter be exercised by the Optionee, in whole or in part, at any time or from time to time prior to the expiration of the Option as provided herein. Except as otherwise specifically provided herein, there shall be no proportionate or partial vesting in the periods prior to each Vesting Date, and all vesting shall occur only on the appropriate Vesting Date. Upon the termination of the Optionee’s Continuous Service, any unvested portion of the Option shall terminate and be null and void. 

4.Method of Exercise.  The vested portion of this Option shall be exercisable in whole or in part in accordance with the exercise schedule set forth in Section 3 hereof by written notice which shall state the election to exercise the Option, the number of Shares in respect of which the Option is being exercised, and such other representations and agreements as to the holder’s investment intent with respect to such Shares as may be required by the Company pursuant to the provisions of the Plan.  Such written notice shall be signed by the Optionee and shall be delivered in person or by certified mail to the Secretary of  


Exhibit “A”  Common Stock Option Agreement

Page 1 of 8


the Company.  The written notice shall be accompanied by payment of the Exercise Price.  This Option shall be deemed to be exercised after both (a) receipt by the Company of such written notice accompanied by the Exercise Price and (b) arrangements that are satisfactory to the Committee in its sole discretion have been made for Optionee’s payment to the Company of the amount, if any, that is necessary to be withheld in accordance with applicable Federal or state withholding requirements.  No Shares shall be issued pursuant to the Option unless and until such issuance and such exercise shall comply with all relevant provisions of applicable law, including the requirements of any stock exchange upon which the Shares then may be traded.

5.Method of Payment.  Payment of the Exercise Price shall be by any of the following, or a combination thereof, at the election of the Optionee:  (a) cash; (b) check; (c) to the extent permitted by the Committee or as provided on Schedule I hereof beside the caption “Permission to Pay with Shares”, with Shares owned by the Optionee, or the withholding of Shares that otherwise would be delivered to the Optionee as a result of the exercise of the Option, or pursuant to a “cashless exercise” procedure, by delivery of a properly executed exercise notice together with such other documentation, and subject to such guidelines, as the Committee shall require to effect an exercise of the Option and delivery to the Company by a licensed broker acceptable to the Company of proceeds from the sale of Shares sufficient to pay the Exercise Price and any applicable income or Assignment taxes, or (d) such other consideration or in such other manner as may be determined by the Committee in its absolute discretion.

(b)Cancellation.  To the extent not previously exercised, (i) the Option shall terminate immediately in the event of (A) the liquidation or dissolution of the Company, or (B) any reorganization, merger, consolidation or other form of corporate transaction in which the Company does not survive or the Shares are exchanged for or converted into securities issued by another entity, or an affiliate of such successor or acquiring entity, unless the successor or acquiring entity, or an affiliate thereof, assumes the Option or substitutes an equivalent option or right pursuant to Section 10(c) of the Plan, and (ii) the  


Exhibit “A”  Common Stock Option Agreement

Page 2 of 8


Committee in its sole discretion may by written notice (“cancellation notice”) cancel, effective upon the consummation of any transaction that constitutes a Change in Control, the Option (or portion thereof) that remains unexercised on such date.  The Committee shall give written notice of any proposed transaction referred to in this Section 6(b) a reasonable period of time prior to the closing date for such transaction (which notice may be given either before or after approval of such transaction), in order that the Optionee may have a reasonable period of time prior to the closing date of such transaction within which to exercise the Option if and to the extent that it then is exercisable (including any portion of the Option that may become exercisable upon the closing date of such transaction).  The Optionee may condition his exercise of the Option upon the consummation of a transaction referred to in this Section 6(b).

7.Transferability.

8.No Rights of Stockholders.  Neither the Optionee nor any personal representative (or beneficiary) shall be, or shall have any of the rights and privileges of, a stockholder of the Company with respect to any Shares purchasable or issuable upon the exercise of the Option, in whole or in part, prior to the date on which the Shares are issued. 

9.Acceleration of Exercisability of Option.   

(a)Acceleration Upon Certain Terminations or Cancellations of Option.  This Option shall become immediately fully exercisable in the event that, prior to the termination of the Option pursuant to Section 6 hereof, (i) the Option is terminated pursuant to Section 6(b)(i) hereof, or (ii) the Company exercises its discretion to provide a cancellation notice with respect to the Option pursuant to Section 6(b)(ii) hereof.   

(b)Acceleration Upon Change in Control.  This Option shall become immediately fully exercisable in the event that, prior to the termination of the Option pursuant to Section 6 hereof, and during the Optionee's Continuous Service, there is a “Change in Control”, as defined in Section 9(b) of the Plan.

11.Information Confidential.  As partial consideration for the granting of the Option, the Optionee agrees with the Company to keep confidential all information and knowledge that the Optionee has relating to the manner and amount of the Optionee’s participation in the Plan; provided, however, that such information may be disclosed as required by law and may be given in confidence to the Optionee’s  


Exhibit “A”  Common Stock Option Agreement

Page 3 of 8


spouse, the Optionee’s tax and financial advisors, or financial institutions to the extent that such information is necessary to secure a loan.

12.Interpretation. Provisions of Plan Control. This Agreement is subject to all the terms, conditions and provisions of the Plan, including, without limitation, the amendment provisions thereof, and to such rules, regulations and interpretations relating to the Plan adopted by the Committee as may be in effect from time to time. If and to the extent that this Agreement conflicts or is inconsistent with the terms, conditions and provisions of the Plan, the Plan shall control, and this Agreement shall be deemed to be modified accordingly. The Optionee accepts the Option subject to all of the terms and provisions of the Plan and this Agreement.  The undersigned Optionee hereby accepts as binding, conclusive and final all decisions or interpretations of the Committee upon any questions arising under the Plan and this Agreement, unless shown to have been made in an arbitrary and capricious manner.Notices.  All notices, requests, demands, and other communications hereunder shall be in writing and shall be personally delivered, delivered by facsimile or courier service, or mailed, certified with first class postage prepaid to the address specified by the person who is to receive the same. Each such notice, request, demand, or other communication hereunder shall be deemed to have been given (whether actually received or not) on the date of actual delivery thereof, if personally delivered or delivered by facsimile transmission (if receipt is confirmed at the time of such transmission by telephone or facsimile-machine-generated confirmation), or on the third day following the date of mailing, if mailed in accordance with this Section, or on the day specified for delivery to the courier service (if such day is one on which the courier service will give normal assurances that such specified delivery will be made).  Any notice, request, demand, or other communication given otherwise than in accordance with this Section shall be deemed to have been given on the date actually received. Each such notice, request, demand, or other communication hereunder shall be addressed, in the case of the Company, to the Company’s Secretary at PearTrack Security Systems, Inc at 1327 Ocean Avenue Suite B Santa Monica, CA 90401, or if the Company should move its principal office, to such principal office, and, in the case of the Optionee, to the Optionee’s last permanent address as shown on the Company’s records, subject to the right of either party to designate some other address at any time hereafter in a notice satisfying the requirements of this Section.  Any person entitled to any notice, request, demand, or other communication hereunder may waive the notice, request, demand, or other communication.  Section 409A. 

(a)It is intended that the Option awarded pursuant to this Agreement be exempt from Section 409A of the Code (“Section 409A”) because it is believed that (i) the Exercise Price may never be less than the Fair Market Value of a Share on the Date of Grant and the number of shares subject to the Option is fixed on the original Date of Grant, (ii) the transfer or exercise of the Option is subject to taxation under Section 83 of the Code and Treas. Reg. 1.83-7, and (iii) the Option does not include any feature for the deferral of compensation other than the deferral of recognition of income until the exercise of the Option.  The provisions of this Agreement shall be interpreted in a manner consistent with this intention, and the provisions of this Agreement may not be amended, adjusted, assumed or substituted for, converted or otherwise modified without the Optionee’s prior written consent if and to the extent that the Company believes or reasonably should believe that such amendment, adjustment, assumption or substitution, conversion or modification would cause the award to violate the requirements of Section 409A.  In the event that either the Company or the Optionee believes, at any time, that any benefit or right under this Agreement is subject to Section 409A, then the Committee may (acting alone and without any required consent of the Optionee) amend this Agreement in such manner as the Committee deems necessary or appropriate to be exempt from or otherwise comply with the requirements of Section 409A (including  


Exhibit “A”  Common Stock Option Agreement

Page 4 of 8


without limitation, amending the Agreement to increase the Exercise Price to such amount as may be required in order for the Option to be exempt from Section 409A).

(b)Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Company does not make any representation to the Optionee that the Option awarded pursuant to this Agreement is exempt from, or satisfies, the requirements of Section 409A, and the Company shall have no liability or other obligation to indemnify or hold harmless the Optionee or any Beneficiary for any tax, additional tax, interest or penalties that the Optionee or any Beneficiary may incur in the event that any provision of this Agreement, or any amendment or modification thereof or any other action taken with respect thereto, that either is consented to by the Optionee or that the Company reasonably believes should not result in a violation of Section 409A, is deemed to violate any of the requirements of Section 409A. 

15.Incentive Stock Option Treatment.  If designated on Schedule I hereof as an Incentive Stock Option: (a) the terms of this Option shall be interpreted in a manner consistent with the intent of the Company and the Optionee that the Option qualify as an Incentive Stock Option under Section 422 of the Code; (b) if any provision of the Plan or this Agreement shall be impermissible in order for the Option to qualify as an Incentive Stock Option, then the Option shall be construed and enforced as if such provision had never been included in the Plan or the Option; and (c) if and to the extent that the number of Options granted pursuant to this Agreement exceeds the limitations contained in Section 422 of the Code on the value of Shares with respect to which this Option may qualify as an Incentive Stock Option, this Option shall be a Non-Qualified Stock Option.Section Headings.  The Section headings contained in this Agreement are for reference purposes only and shall not affect in any way the meaning or interpretation of this Agreement.

REGISTRATION RIGHTS AGREEMENT

This Registration Rights Agreement (“Agreement”) is made and entered into as of the 10th day of October 2019 (the “Effective Date”), by and between Clive Oosthuizen, an individual, with at 5 Omnia Avenue Bellville, Cape Town, South Africa 7530 (“Oosthuizen”) and PearTrack Security Systems, Inc., a Nevada corporation, having a principal place of business at 1327 Ocean Avenue, Suite B, Santa Monica, CA 94501 (“PTSS” or the “Company”).

 

WHEREAS, in connection with the purchase by Oosthuizen of four million (4,000,000) shares of the Company’s Common Stock (the “Purchased Shares”), the Company has agreed to enter into this Registration Rights Agreement.

 

NOW THEREFORE, in consideration of the mutual agreements, covenants and conditions and releases contained herein, the Company and the Purchaser hereby agree as follows:

 

1.DEFINITIONS. AS USED HEREIN: 

1.1.The term “Holder” means any person owning or having the right to acquire Registrable Shares or any assignee thereof in accordance with Section 2.8 hereof. 

1.2.The terms “register,” “registered,” and “registration” refer to a registration effected by preparing and filing a registration statement in compliance with the Securities Act (as defined below) and the applicable rules and regulations thereunder, and the declaration or ordering of the effectiveness of such registration statement. 

1.3.For the purposes hereof, the term “Registrable Shares” means and includes (i) the Purchased Shares and (ii) any common stock of the Company issued or issuable as a result of a stock split, dividend or other distribution with respect to or in exchange for or in replacement of the Purchased Shares. 

1.4.The term “Ownership Percentage” means and includes, with respect to each Holder of Registrable Shares requesting inclusion of Registrable Shares in an offering pursuant to this Agreement, the number of Registrable Shares held by such Holder divided by the aggregate of (i) all Registrable Shares held by all Holders requesting registration in such offering and (ii) the total number of all other securities entitled to registration pursuant to any agreement with the Company and held by others participating in the underwriting. 

1.5.The term “Securities Act” means the Securities Act of 1933, as amended. 

1.6.The term “Public Offering” means and includes the closing of an underwritten public offering pursuant to an effective registration statement under the Securities Act, covering the offer and sale of securities to the general public for the account of the Company. 


ConfidentialPage 910/10/2019 


2.REGISTRATION RIGHTS. 

2.1.“Piggy Back” Registration. If at any time the Company shall determine to register under the Securities Act (including pursuant to a demand of any stockholder of the Company exercising registration rights) any of its common stock (other than a registration relating solely to the sale of securities to participants in a Company employee benefits plan, a registration on any form which does not include substantially the same information as would be required to be included in a registration statement covering the sale of the Registrable Shares or a registration in which the only common stock being registered is common stock issuable upon conversion of debt securities which are also being registered), it shall send to each Holder written notice of such determination and, if within ten (10) business days after receipt of such notice, such Holder shall so request in writing, the Company shall use its best efforts to include in such registration statement all of the Registrable Shares that such Holder requests to be registered, except that if, in connection with any offering involving an underwriting of common stock to be issued by the Company, the managing underwriter shall impose a limitation on the number of shares of common stock included in any such registration statement because, in such underwriter’s judgment, such limitation is necessary based on market conditions, the Company shall be obligated to include in such registration statement, with respect to the requesting Holder, only an amount of Registrable Shares equal to the product of (i) the number of Registrable Shares that remain available for registration after the underwriter’s cut back and (ii) such Holder’s Ownership Percentage, as that term is defined in Section 1.4. Notwithstanding the foregoing, (a) no such reduction shall be made with respect to securities being offered by the Company for its own account, and (b) any person who has or is granted registration rights, which have priority over the rights, granted hereunder shall have priority in case of any cut back. If any Holder disapproves of the terms of such underwriting, it may elect to withdraw therefrom by written notice to the Company and the underwriter. 

2.2.Effectiveness

(a)The Company will use its best efforts to maintain the effectiveness for the period described in the plan of distribution set forth in the registration statement. 

(b)The Company will from time to time amend or supplement such registration statement and the prospectus contained therein as and to the extent necessary to comply with the Securities Act and any applicable state securities statute or regulation. 

2.3.Indemnification

(a)Indemnification of Holders. In the event that the Company registers any of the Registrable Shares under the Securities Act, the Company will indemnify and hold harmless each Holder and each underwriter of the Registrable Shares so registered (including any broker or dealer through whom such shares may be sold) and each person, if any, who controls such Holder within the meaning of the Securities Act or any such underwriter within the meaning of Section 15 of the Securities Act from and against any and all losses, claims, damages, expenses or liabilities (or any action in respect thereof), joint or several, to which they or any of them become subject under the Securities Act or under any other statute or at common law or otherwise, and, except as hereinafter provided, will reimburse each such Holder, each such underwriter and each  


ConfidentialPage 1010/10/2019 


such controlling person, if any, for any legal or other such expenses are incurred, in ing, defending, or settling any actions whether or not resulting in any liability, insofar as such losses, claims, damages, expenses, liabilities or actions arise out of or are based upon (i) any untrue statement or alleged untrue statement of a material fact contained in the registration statement, in any preliminary or amended preliminary prospectus or in the prospectus (or the registration statement or prospectus as from time to time amended or supplemented by the Company); (ii) arise out of or are based upon the omission or alleged omission to state therein a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary in order to make the statements therein not misleading; or (iii) any violation by the Company of the Securities Act, the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”), a state securities law or any rule or regulation under the Securities Act, the Exchange Act or any state securities law; provided, however, that the indemnity contained in this Section 2.3(a) will not apply where such untrue statement or omission was made in such registration statement, preliminary or amended, preliminary prospectus or prospectus in reliance upon and in conformity with information furnished in writing to the Company in connection therewith by such Holder of Registrable Shares, any such underwriter or any such controlling person expressly for use therein. Promptly after receipt by any Holder of Registrable Shares, any underwriter or any controlling person of notice of the commencement of any action in respect of which indemnity may be sought against the Company, such Holder of Registrable Shares, or such underwriter or such controlling person, as the case may be, will notify the Company in writing of the commencement thereof, and, subject to the provisions hereinafter stated, the Company shall assume the defense of such action (including the employment of counsel, who shall be counsel reasonably satisfactory to such Holder of Registrable Shares, such underwriter or such controlling person, as the case may be), and the payment of expenses insofar as such action shall relate to any alleged liability in respect of which indemnity may be sought against the Company. Such Holder of Registrable Shares, any such underwriter or any such controlling person shall have the right to employ separate counsel in any such action and to participate in the defense thereof in the event the representation of such Holder, underwriter or controlling person by counsel retained by or on the behalf of the Company would be inappropriate due to conflicts of interest between any such person and any other party represented by such counsel in such proceeding or action, in which case the Company shall pay, as incurred, the fees and expenses of such separate counsel. The Company shall not be liable to indemnify any person under this Section 2.3(a) for any settlement of any such action effected without the Company’s consent (which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld). The Company shall not, except with the approval of each party being indemnified under this Section 2.3(a) (which approval will not be unreasonably withheld), consent to entry of any judgment or enter into any settlement that does not include as an unconditional term thereof the giving by the claimant or plaintiff to the parties being so indemnified of a release from all liability in respect to such claim or litigation.

(b)Indemnification of Company. In the event that the Company registers any of the Registrable Shares under the Securities Act, each Holder of the Registrable Shares so registered will indemnify and hold harmless the Company, each of its directors, each of its officers who have signed the registration statement, each underwriter of the Registrable Shares so registered (including any broker or dealer through whom any of such shares may be sold) and each person, if any, who controls the Company within the meaning of Section 15 of the Securities Act from and against any and all losses, claims, damages, expenses or liabilities (or any action in respect thereof), joint or several, to which they or any of them may become subject under the  


ConfidentialPage 1110/10/2019 


Securities Act or under any other statute or at common law or otherwise, and, except as hereinafter provided, will reimburse the Company and each such director, officer, underwriter or controlling person for any legal or other expenses reasonably incurred by them or any of them, as such expenses are incurred, in connection with investigating or defending any actions whether or not resulting in any liability, insofar as such losses, claims, damages, expenses, liabilities or actions arise out of or are based upon any untrue statement or alleged untrue statement of a material fact contained in the registration statement, in any preliminary or amended preliminary prospectus or in the prospectus (or the registration statement or prospectus as from time to time amended or supplemented) or arise out of or are based upon the omission or alleged omission to state therein a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary in order to make the statements therein not misleading, but only insofar as any such statement or omission was made in reliance upon and in conformity with information furnished in writing to the Company in connection therewith by such Holder, expressly for use therein; provided, however, that such Holder’s obligations hereunder shall be limited to an amount equal to the net proceeds to such Holder of the Registrable Shares sold in such registration. Promptly after receipt of notice of the commencement of any action in respect of which indemnity may be sought against such Holder of Registrable Shares, the Company will notify such Holder of Registrable Shares in writing of the commencement thereof, and such Holder of Registrable Shares shall, subject to the provisions hereinafter stated, assume the defense of such action (including the employment of counsel, who shall be counsel reasonably satisfactory to the Company) and the payment of expenses insofar as such action shall relate to the alleged liability in respect of which indemnity may be sought against such Holder of Registrable Shares. The Company and each such director, officer, underwriter or controlling person shall have the right to employ separate counsel in any such action and to participate in the defense thereof in the event the representation of the Company, any of its officers or directors or any underwriter or controlling person by counsel retained by or on the behalf of such Holder would be inappropriate due to conflicts of interest between any such person and any other party represented by such counsel in such proceeding or action, in which case such Holder shall pay, as incurred, the fees and expenses of such separate counsel, but only one such counsel. Notwithstanding the two preceding sentences, if the action is one in which the Company may be obligated to indemnify any Holder of Registrable Shares pursuant to Section 2.3, the Company shall have the right to assume the defense of such action, subject to the right of such Holders to participate therein as permitted by Section 2.3. Such Holder shall not be liable to indemnify any person for any settlement of any such action effected without such Holder’s consent (which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld). Such Holder shall not, except with the approval of the Company (which approval shall not be unreasonably withheld), consent to entry of any judgment or enter into any settlement that does not include as an unconditional term thereof the giving by the claimant or plaintiff to the party being so indemnified of a release from all liability in respect to such claim or litigation.

2.4.Contribution. If the indemnification provided for in Section 2.3 is held by a court of competent jurisdiction to be unavailable to an indemnified party with respect to any loss, liability, claim, damage, or expense referred to therein, then the indemnifying party, in lieu of indemnifying such indemnified party hereunder, shall contribute to the amount paid or payable by such indemnified party as a result of such loss, liability, claim, damage, or expense in such proportion as is appropriate to reflect the relative fault of the indemnifying party on the one hand and of the indemnified party on the other in connection with the statements or omissions that resulted in such loss, liability, claim, damage, or expense as well as any other relevant equitable considerations. The relative fault of the indemnifying party and of the indemnified party shall be  


ConfidentialPage 1210/10/2019 


determined by reference to, among other things, whether the untrue or alleged untrue statement of a material fact or the omission to state a material fact relates to information supplied by the indemnifying party or by the indemnified party and the parties’ relative intent, knowledge, access to information, and opportunity to correct or prevent such statement or omission.

2.5.Exchange Act Registration. With a view to making available to the Holders the benefits of Rule 144 promulgated under the Act and any other rule or regulation of the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) that may at any time permit a Holder to sell securities of the Company to the public without registration or pursuant to a registration on Form S-3, the Company agrees to: 

(a)File on a timely basis with the Securities and Exchange Commission all information that the Commission may require under either of Section 13 or Section 15(d) of the Exchange Act and, so long as it is required to file such information, take all action that may be required as a condition to the availability of Rule 144 under the Securities Act (or any successor exempted rule hereinafter in effect) with respect to the Company’s common stock; and 

(b)Furnish to any Holder forthwith upon request (i) a written statement by the Company as to its compliance with the reporting requirements of Rule 144, (ii) a copy of the most recent annual or quarterly report of the Company as filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission, and (iii) any other reports and documents that a Holder may reasonably request in availing itself of any rule or regulation of the SEC allowing a Holder to sell any such Registrable Shares without registration. 

2.6.Further Obligations of the Company. Whenever the Company is required hereunder to register Registrable Shares, it agrees that it shall also do the following: 

(a)Furnish to each selling Holder such copies of each preliminary and final prospectus and any other documents that such Holder may reasonably request to facilitate the public offering of its Registrable Shares; 

(b)Use its best efforts to register or qualify the Registrable Shares to be registered pursuant to this Agreement under the applicable securities or “blue sky” laws of such jurisdictions as any selling Holder may reasonably request and keep such registration or qualification effective during the period set forth in Section 2.6(j) below; provided, however, that the Company shall not be obligated to qualify to do business in any jurisdiction where it is not then so qualified or to take any action that would subject it to the service of process in suits other than those arising out of the offer or sale of the securities covered by the registration statement in any jurisdiction where it is not then so subject; 

(c)Notify each Holder of Registrable Shares covered by such registration statement at any time when a prospectus relating thereto is required to be delivered under the Act of the happening of any event as a result of which the prospectus included in such registration statement, as then in effect, includes an untrue statement of a material fact or omits to state a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein not misleading in the light of the circumstances then existing; 


ConfidentialPage 1310/10/2019 


(d)Cause all such Registrable Shares registered pursuant hereunder to be listed on each securities exchange on which similar securities issued by the Company are then listed; 

(e)Provide a transfer agent and registrar for all Registrable Shares registered pursuant hereunder and a CUSIP number for all such Registrable Shares, in each case not later than the effective date of such registration;

(g)Furnish, at the request of any Holder requesting registration of Registrable Shares pursuant to this Section 2, on the date that such Registrable Shares are delivered to the underwriters for sale in connection with a registration pursuant to this Section 2, if such securities are being sold through underwriters, or, if such securities are not being sold through underwriters, on the date that the registration statement with respect to such securities becomes effective: 

(i)at the request of any Holder, to furnish on the effective date of the Registration Statement or, if the offering is underwritten, on the date that Registrable Shares are delivered to the underwriters for sale, an opinion of counsel, dated such date, representing the Company for the purposes of such registration, addressed to the underwriters and to such Holder, stating that such registration statement has become effective under the Securities Act and that (i) to the best knowledge of such counsel, no stop order suspending the effectiveness thereof has been issued and no proceedings for that purpose have been instituted or are pending or contemplated under the Securities Act, (ii) the registration statement, the related prospectus and each amendment or supplement thereof comply as to form in all material respects with the requirements of the Securities Act (except that such counsel need not express any opinion as to financial statements or other financial data contained therein), and (iii) such other opinions as reasonably may be requested by counsel for the underwriters or by such Holder or its counsel; 

(ii)“comfort” letters signed by the Company’s independent public accountants who have examined and reported on the Company’s financial statements included in the registration statement, to the extent permitted by the standards of the American Institute of Certified Public Accountants, covering substantially the same matters with respect to the registration statement (and the prospectus included therein) and (in the case of the accountants’ “comfort” letters) with respect to events subsequent to the date of the financial statements, as are customarily covered in opinions of issuer’s counsel and in accountants’ “comfort” letters delivered to the underwriters in underwritten public offerings of securities, but only if and to the extent that the Company is required to deliver or cause the delivery of such opinion or “comfort” letters to the underwriters in an underwritten public offering of securities; 

(h)Make available for inspection by any seller of Registrable Shares, any underwriter participating in any disposition pursuant to such registration statement, and any attorney, accountant or other agent retained by any such seller or underwriter, all financial and

2.7.Expenses.

2.8.Transfer of Registration Rights. The registration rights of a Holder of Registrable Shares under this Agreement may be transferred as set forth below provided (1) the transferee is bound by the terms of this Agreement and (2) the Company is given written notice prior to such transfer.

ConfidentialPage 1510/10/2019 


2.9.Market Stand-Off Agreement. Provided that all Holders are treated equally and all officers and directors of the Company are also so bound, no Holder shall, to the extent requested by any managing underwriter of the Company, sell or otherwise transfer or dispose of (other than to donees who agree to be similarly bound) any Registrable Shares during a period (the “Stand-Off Period”) not to exceed 180 days following the effective date of a registration statement of any secondary offering of the Company under the Securities Act, (or in each case such shorter period as the Company or managing underwriter may authorize), and except in each case, for securities sold as part of the offering covered by such registration statement in accordance with the provisions of this Agreement. In order to enforce the foregoing covenant, the Company may impose stock transfer restrictions with respect to the Registrable Shares of each Holder until the end of the Stand-Off Period; provided, that (a) the Holders shall not be subject to this provision unless each officer, director and each person then owning greater than one percent (1%) of the outstanding Common Stock (on a fully diluted basis) has executed and remains bound by a comparable obligation; and (b) nothing herein shall prevent any Holder from making a distribution of Registrable Shares to an affiliate of such Holder that is otherwise in compliance with applicable securities laws, so long as such distributee agrees to be so bound. 

Notwithstanding the foregoing, the obligations described in this Section 2.9 shall not apply to a registration relating solely to employee benefit plans on Form S-1 or Form S-8 or similar forms which may be promulgated in the future, or a registration relating solely to an SEC Rule 145 transaction on Form S-4 or similar forms which may be promulgated in the future.

2.10.Termination of Registration Rights. The obligations of the Company to register any Holder’s Registrable Shares pursuant to this Section 2 shall terminate at such time as all of a Holder’s Registrable Shares may immediately be sold under Rule 144 taking into account any volume limitations. 

3.ASSIGNABILITY. THIS AGREEMENT SHALL BE BINDING UPON AND INURE TO THE BENEFIT OF THE RESPECTIVE HEIRS, SUCCESSORS AND ASSIGNS OF THE PARTIES HERETO. 

4.LAW. THIS AGREEMENT SHALL BE GOVERNED BY AND CONSTRUED IN ACCORDANCE WITH THE LAWS OF THE STATE OF CALIFORNIA.
