Item   1 .0 1

Entry into a Material Definitive Agreement.

   

 

On March 27, 2018, Aeon Global Health Corp. (the “Company”) entered into an agreement with the holders of outstanding senior secured convertible notes to amend certain terms of such notes as described below (the “Note Amendment Transaction”). Contemporaneously with the Note Amendment Transaction, the Company entered into an agreement with its chief executive officer, who is the holder of a separate promissory note in the aggregate principal amount of $500,000, to exchange such note for a new senior note on terms substantially the same as the senior secured convertible notes in the Note Amendment Transaction (the “Note Exchange Transaction”).

 

Note Amendment Transaction

 

In the Note Amendment Transaction, the holders (the “Senior Holders”) of outstanding senior secured convertible notes in the aggregate principal amount of $2,545,199 (the “Senior Notes”) entered into a consent and amendment agreement with the Company (the “Consent Agreement”), pursuant to which the Senior Notes were amended to extend the maturity date for a period of twelve months, to March 20, 2019 and in consideration thereof, the conversion rate of the Senior Notes was reduced to equal $1.20 per share.

 

Based on the adjusted conversion price, the principal amount of the Senior Notes will be convertible into up to 2,120,999 shares of common stock. The other material terms and conditions of the Senior Notes were not amended. As with the original terms of the Senior Notes, the conversion price is subject to adjustment upon stock splits, reverse stock splits, and similar capital changes. Further, if the Company issues or sells shares of its common stock, rights to purchase shares of its common stock, or securities convertible into shares of its common stock for a price per share that is less than the conversion price then in effect, such conversion price will be decreased to equal 85% of such lower price. The foregoing adjustments to the conversion price will not apply to certain exempt issuances, including issuances pursuant to certain employee benefit plans. The right of Senior Holders to convert these securities into common stock is subject to a 4.99% beneficial ownership limitation, which beneficial ownership limitation may be increased by a holder to a greater percentage not in excess of 9.99% after providing notice to us. Subject to certain exceptions, the Senior Notes contain customary covenants against incurring additional indebtedness and granting additional liens and contains customary events of default. The original terms and conditions of the Senior Notes were described in a Current Report on Form 8-K filed on March 24, 2017, which information is incorporated by reference herein.

 

In order to approve the Note Exchange Transaction, the Senior Holders also agreed to the sale and issuance by the Company of the new senior secured convertible note contemplated by such transaction (the “New Senior Note”), which is on a pari passu basis with the Senior Notes and agreed that the New Senior Note shall constitute “Permitted Indebtedness”, as defined in the Security Agreement, and that the liens granted to the holder of the New Senior Note shall constitute “Permitted Liens”, as defined in the Security Agreement. To provide for the collateral to secure the repayment of the New Senior Note, the Senior Holders also entered into an amendment to the Amended and Restated Security Agreement entered into as of March 20, 2017 (the “Security Agreement”) to provide that the New Senior Note shall be secured by the collateral defined in such earlier Security Agreement.

 

Certain holders of the Senior Notes are affiliated with the Company, as follows: (i) an aggregate principal amount of $ 255,417 of Senior Notes are held by Hanif A. Roshan, the Chairman and Chief Executive Officer of the Company and (ii) an aggregate principal amount of $591,613 of Senior Notes are held by Optimum Ventures, LLC, a party affiliated by ownership with the former members of Peachstate Health Management, LLC, our subsidiary. Due to the adjustment of the conversion price of the Senior Notes, the exercise price of outstanding warrants to purchase an aggregate of 825,184 shares of common stock has been adjusted from $2.07 per share to $1.22 per share.

 

Note Exchange Transaction

 

In connection with the Note Amendment Transaction, on March 27, 2018, the Company entered into a note exchange agreement (the “Note Exchange Agreement”) with its chief executive officer, who also held a promissory note in the aggregate principal amount of $500,000 (the “Original Note”), pursuant to which the Company agreed to issue to him, in consideration of the cancellation of the Original Note, the New Senior Note in the aggregate principal amount of $504,452, which is equal to the sum of the aggregate principal amount of the Original Note plus the accrued but unpaid interest thereon. The closing of the Note Exchange Transaction occurred on March 27, 2018.

The New Senior Note is the same, in all material respects, as the Senior Notes described above in the Note Amendment Transaction and is convertible into shares of the Company’s Common Stock at an initial conversion price of $1.20. Based on the initial conversion price, the New Senior Note is convertible into up to 420,376 shares of common stock. As the New Senior Note is the same in all material respects as the Senior Notes, the conversion price of the New Senior Note may be adjusted upon the occurrence of the same events which would result in an adjustment to the conversion price of the Senior Notes, as described above, including the issuance of securities at a price per share less than the current conversion price. Similarly, the maturity date, interest rate, events of default, redemption and other terms of the New Senior Note are the same as for the Senior Notes. The New Senior Note is on parity with the Senior Notes and, subject to certain exceptions, is senior to other existing and future indebtedness of the Company and, together with the Senior Notes, will be secured by a first priority lien on all of the Company’s assets to the extent and as provided in the Security Agreement, as amended.

 

The foregoing summary does not purport to be a complete description of the terms of the Exchange Agreement, Consent Agreement, Security Agreement or the New Senior Note and is qualified in its entirety by reference to the full text of such documents, copies of which are filed as exhibits to this Current Report on Form 8-K and which are incorporated herein by reference.

If the Company shall fail, for any reason or for no reason, to issue to the Holder within three (3) Trading Days after the Company’s receipt of a Conversion Notice (whether via facsimile or otherwise), a certificate for the number of shares of Common Stock to which the Holder is entitled and register such shares of Common Stock on the Company’s share register or to credit the Holder’s or its designee’s balance account with DTC for such number of shares of Common Stock to which the Holder is entitled upon the Holder’s conversion of any Conversion Amount (as the case may be) (a “ Conversion Failure ”), then, in addition to all other remedies available to the Holder, (1) the Company shall pay in cash to the Holder on each day after such third (3rd) Trading Day that the issuance of such shares of Common Stock is not timely effected an amount equal to 0.5% of the product of (A) the sum of the number of shares of Common Stock not issued to the Holder on a timely basis and to which the Holder is entitled multiplied by (B) the Closing Sale Price of the Common Stock on the Trading Day immediately preceding the last possible date which the Company could have issued such shares of Common Stock to the Holder without violating Section 4(c)(i) and (ii) the Holder, upon written notice to the Company, may void its Conversion Notice with respect to, and retain or have returned (as the case may be) any portion of this Note that has not been converted pursuant to such Conversion Notice, provided that the voiding of a Conversion Notice shall not affect the Company’s obligations to make any payments which have accrued prior to the date of such notice pursuant to this Section 4(c)(iii) or otherwise. The Holder agrees, however, that the maximum aggregate damages payable to a Holder hereunder for a Conversion Failure shall be 2% of the amount determined pursuant to the formula set forth in the immediately preceding sentence. In addition to the foregoing, if within three (3) Trading Days after the Company’s receipt of a Conversion Notice (whether via facsimile or otherwise), the Company shall fail to issue and deliver a certificate to the Holder and register such shares of Common Stock on the Company’s share register or credit the Holder’s or its designee’s balance account with DTC for the number of shares of Common Stock to which the Holder is entitled upon the Holder’s conversion hereunder (as the case may be), and if on or after such third (3rd) Trading Day the Holder purchases (in an open market transaction or otherwise) shares of Common Stock to deliver in satisfaction of a sale by the Holder of shares of Common Stock issuable upon such conversion that the Holder anticipated receiving from the Company, then, in addition to all other remedies available to the Holder, the Company shall, within three (3) Business Days after the Holder’s request and in the Holder’s discretion, either (i) pay cash to the Holder in an amount equal to the Holder’s total purchase price (including brokerage commissions and other out-of-pocket expenses, if any) for the shares of Common Stock so purchased (the “ Buy-In Price ”), at which point the Company’s obligation to deliver such certificate (and to issue such shares of Common Stock) shall terminate, or (ii) promptly honor its obligation to deliver to the Holder a certificate or certificates representing such shares of Common Stock or credit the Holder’s balance account with DTC for the number of shares of Common Stock to which the Holder is entitled upon the Holder’s conversion hereunder (as the case may be) and pay cash to the Holder in an amount equal to the excess (if any) of the Buy-In Price over the product of (A) such number of shares of Common Stock multiplied by (B) the Closing Sale Price of the Common Stock on the Trading Day immediately preceding the Conversion Date.

 

(iv) Obligation Absolute . The Company’s obligations to issue and deliver the Conversion Shares upon conversion of this Note in accordance with the terms hereof are absolute and unconditional, irrespective of any action or inaction by the Holder to enforce the same, any waiver or consent with respect to any provision hereof, the recovery of any judgment against any Person or any action to enforce the same, or any setoff, counterclaim, recoupment, limitation or termination, or any breach or alleged breach by the Holder or any other Person of any obligation to the Company or any violation or alleged violation of law by the Holder or any other Person, and irrespective of any other circumstance which might otherwise limit such obligation of the Company to the Holder in connection with the issuance of such Conversion Shares; provided , however , that such delivery shall not operate as a waiver by the Company of any such action the Company may have against the Holder. Nothing herein shall limit a Holder’s right to pursue actual damages or declare an Event of Default pursuant to Section 8 hereof for the Company’s failure to deliver Conversion Shares within the period specified herein and the Holder shall have the right to pursue all remedies available to it hereunder, at law or in equity including, without limitation, a decree of specific performance and/or injunctive relief. The exercise of any such rights shall not prohibit the Holder from seeking to enforce damages pursuant to any other Section hereof or under applicable law.

(v) Reservation of Shares Issuable Upon Conversion . The Company covenants that it will at all times reserve and keep available out of its authorized and unissued shares of Common Stock for the sole purpose of issuance upon conversion of this Note, free from preemptive rights or any other actual contingent purchase rights of Persons other than the Holder (and the other holders of the Notes), not less than 125% of such aggregate number of shares of the Common Stock as shall (subject to the terms and conditions set forth in the Exchange Agreement) be issuable (taking into account the adjustments and restrictions of Section 5) upon the conversion of the then outstanding principal amount of this Note. The Company covenants that all shares of Common Stock that shall be so issuable shall, upon issue, be duly authorized, validly issued, fully paid and non-assessable.

 

(vi) Fractional Shares . No fractional shares or scrip representing fractional shares shall be issued upon the conversion of this Note. As to any fraction of a share which the Holder would otherwise be entitled to purchase upon such conversion, the Company shall round up such fractional share to the next whole share.

 

(vii) Transfer Taxes and Expenses . The issuance of certificates for shares of the Common Stock on conversion of this Note shall be made without charge to the Holder hereof for any documentary stamp or similar taxes that may be payable in respect of the issue or delivery of such certificates, provided that, the Company shall not be required to pay any tax that may be payable in respect of any transfer involved in the issuance and delivery of any such certificate upon conversion in a name other than that of the Holder of this Note so converted and the Company shall not be required to issue or deliver such certificates unless or until the Person or Persons requesting the issuance thereof shall have paid to the Company the amount of such tax or shall have established to the satisfaction of the Company that such tax has been paid. The Company shall pay all Transfer Agent fees required for same-day processing of any Notice of Conversion.

 

(d) Holder’s Conversion Limitations . The Company shall not effect any conversion of this Note, and a Holder shall not have the right to convert any portion of this Note, to the extent that after giving effect to the conversion set forth on the applicable Notice of Conversion, the Holder (together with the Holder’s Affiliates, and any Persons acting as a group together with the Holder or any of the Holder’s Affiliates) would beneficially own in excess of the Beneficial Ownership Limitation (as defined below) as a result of such conversion . For purposes of the foregoing sentence, the number of shares of Common Stock beneficially owned by the Holder and its Affiliates shall include the number of shares of Common Stock issuable upon conversion of this Note with respect to which such determination is being made, but shall exclude the number of shares of Common Stock which are issuable upon (i) conversion of the remaining, unconverted principal amount of this Note beneficially owned by the Holder or any of its Affiliates and (ii) exercise or conversion of the unexercised or unconverted portion of any other securities of the Company, in both cases which are subject to a limitation on conversion or exercise analogous to the limitation contained herein (including, without limitation, any other Notes or the Warrants) beneficially owned by the Holder or any of its Affiliates. Except as set forth in the preceding sentence, for purposes of this Section 4(d), beneficial ownership shall be calculated in accordance with Section 13(d) of the Exchange Act and the rules and regulations promulgated thereunder. To the extent that the limitation contained in this Section 4(d) applies, the determination of whether this Note is convertible (in relation to other securities owned by the Holder together with any Affiliates) and of which principal amount of this Note is convertible shall be in the sole discretion of the Holder, and the submission of a Notice of Conversion shall be deemed to be the Holder’s determination of whether this Note may be converted (in relation to other securities owned by the Holder together with any Affiliates) and which principal amount of this Note is convertible, in each case subject to the Beneficial Ownership Limitation. To ensure compliance with this restriction, the Holder will be deemed to represent to the Company each time it delivers a Notice of Conversion that such Notice of Conversion has not violated the restrictions set forth in this paragraph and the Company shall have no obligation to verify or confirm the accuracy of such determination. In addition, a determination as to any group status as contemplated above shall be determined in accordance with Section 13(d) of the Exchange Act and the rules and regulations promulgated thereunder. For purposes of this Section 4(d), in determining the number of outstanding shares of Common Stock, the Holder may rely on the number of outstanding shares of Common Stock as stated in the most recent of the following: (i) the Company’s most recent periodic or annual report filed with the Commission, as the case may be, (ii) a more recent public announcement by the Company, or (iii) a more recent written notice by the Company or the Company’s transfer agent setting forth the number of shares of Common Stock outstanding. Upon the written or oral request of a Holder, the Company shall within two Trading Days confirm orally and in writing to the Holder the number of shares of Common Stock then outstanding. In any case, the number of outstanding shares of Common Stock shall be determined after giving effect to the conversion or exercise of securities of the Company, including this Note, by the Holder or its Affiliates since the date as of which such number of outstanding shares of Common Stock was reported. The “ Beneficial Ownership Limitation ” shall be 4.99% of the number of shares of the Common Stock outstanding immediately after giving effect to the issuance of shares of Common Stock issuable upon conversion of this Note held by the Holder. The Holder, upon not less than 61 days’ prior notice to the Company, may increase or decrease the Beneficial Ownership Limitation provisions of this Section 4(d), provided that the Beneficial Ownership Limitation in no event exceeds 9.99% of the number of shares of the Common Stock outstanding immediately after giving effect to the issuance of shares of Common Stock upon conversion of this Note held by the Holder and the Beneficial Ownership Limitation provisions of this Section 4(d) shall continue to apply. Any such increase or decrease will not be effective until the 61 st day after such notice is delivered to the Company. The Beneficial Ownership Limitation provisions of this paragraph shall be construed and implemented in a manner otherwise than in strict conformity with the terms of this Section 4(d) to correct this paragraph (or any portion hereof) which may be defective or inconsistent with the intended Beneficial Ownership Limitation contained herein or to make changes or supplements necessary or desirable to properly give effect to such limitation. The limitations contained in this paragraph shall apply to a successor holder of this Note. Notwithstanding the foregoing, however, a Holder that beneficially owned in excess of 4.99% or 9.99% of the Company’s Common Stock as of the Original Issue Date shall not be subject to the relevant Beneficial Ownership Limitation set forth herein, unless subsequent to the Original Issue Date, such Holder’s beneficial ownership of the Common Stock of the Company decreases to a level below 4.99% or 9.99%, in which event the provisions of this Section 4(d) shall become applicable to such Holder.

Section  5 . Certain Adjustments .

 

(a) Stock Dividends and Stock Splits . If the Company, at any time while this Note is outstanding: (i) pays a stock dividend or otherwise makes a distribution or distributions payable in shares of Common Stock on shares of Common Stock or any Common Stock Equivalents (which, for avoidance of doubt, shall not include any shares of Common Stock issued by the Company upon conversion of the Notes or upon the exercise of any options or warrants), (ii) subdivides outstanding shares of Common Stock into a larger number of shares, (iii) combines (including by way of a reverse stock split) outstanding shares of Common Stock into a smaller number of shares or (iv) issues, in the event of a reclassification of shares of the Common Stock, any shares of capital stock of the Company, then the Conversion Price shall be multiplied by a fraction of which the numerator shall be the number of shares of Common Stock (excluding any treasury shares of the Company) outstanding immediately before such event, and of which the denominator shall be the number of shares of Common Stock outstanding immediately after such event. Any adjustment made pursuant to this Section shall become effective immediately after the record date for the determination of stockholders entitled to receive such dividend or distribution and shall become effective immediately after the effective date in the case of a subdivision, combination or re-classification.

 

(b) Pro Rata Distributions . During such time as this Note is outstanding, if the Company shall declare or make any dividend or other distribution of its assets (or rights to acquire its assets) to holders of shares of Common Stock, by way of return of capital or otherwise (including, without limitation, any distribution of cash, stock or other securities, property or options by way of a dividend, spin off, reclassification, corporate rearrangement, scheme of arrangement or other similar transaction) (a “ Distribution ”), at any time after the issuance of this Note, then, in each such case, the Holder shall be entitled to participate in such Distribution to the same extent that the Holder would have participated therein if the Holder had held the number of shares of Common Stock acquirable upon complete exercise of this Note (without regard to any limitations on exercise hereof, including without limitation, the Beneficial Ownership Limitation) immediately before the date of which a record is taken for such Distribution, or, if no such record is taken, the date as of which the record holders of shares of Common Stock are to be determined for the participation in such Distribution ( provided , however , to the extent that the Holder’s right to participate in any such Distribution would result in the Holder exceeding the Beneficial Ownership Limitation, then the Holder shall not be entitled to participate in such Distribution to such extent (or in the beneficial ownership of any shares of Common Stock as a result of such Distribution to such extent) and the portion of such Distribution shall be held in abeyance for the benefit of the Holder until such time, if ever, as its right thereto would not result in the Holder exceeding the Beneficial Ownership Limitation). Notwithstanding the foregoing, no adjustment will be made under this Section 5(b) in respect of an Exempt Issuance.

(c) Subsequent Equity Sales . If, at any time while this Note is outstanding, the Company sells or grants any option to purchase or reduces the conversion or exercise price of any outstanding securities, grants any right to reduce, or otherwise disposes of or issues, any Common Stock or Common Stock Equivalents entitling any Person to acquire shares of Common Stock at a price per share that is lower than the then Conversion Price, other than in connection with any Common Stock Equivalents outstanding on the Original Issue Date (such lower price, the “ Base Conversion Price ” and such issuances, collectively, a “ Dilutive Issuance ”) then the Conversion Price shall be reduced to equal the product of (i) 0.85 and (ii) the Base Conversion Price; provided, however, that such adjustment to the Conversion Price shall be made only to the extent that after taking into account such adjustment to the Conversion Price the number of authorized but unissued shares of Common Stock available for issuance under the Company’s Certificate of Incorporation is sufficient for the issuance of the maximum number of Conversion Shares issuable upon  conversion of the Note at such adjusted Conversion Price. In the event that the Company at such time does not have a sufficient number of authorized but unissued shares of Common Stock available for issuance at an adjusted Conversion Price, the Company shall immediately use all commercially reasonable efforts to convene a meeting of its stockholders for the purpose of further amending its Certificate of Incorporation for the purpose of increasing the authorized number of shares of Common Stock in such an amount as is necessary to permit conversion of the Notes into the additional Conversion Shares issuable on account of such adjustment. Such adjustment shall be made whenever such Common Stock or Common Stock Equivalents are issued. For purposes of clarity, if the holder of Common Stock or Common Stock Equivalents so issued shall at any time, whether by operation of purchase price adjustments, reset provisions, floating conversion, exercise or exchange prices or otherwise, or due to warrants, options or rights per share which are issued in connection with such issuance, be entitled to receive shares of Common Stock at a price per share that is lower than the Conversion Price, such issuance shall be deemed to be a Dilutive Issuance. The Company shall notify the Holder in writing, no later than the Trading Day following the issuance of any Common Stock or Common Stock Equivalents subject to this Section 5(c), indicating therein the applicable issuance price, or applicable reset price, exchange price, conversion price and other pricing terms (such notice, the “ Dilutive Issuance Notice ”). For purposes of clarification, whether or not the Company provides a Dilutive Issuance Notice pursuant to this Section 5(c), upon the occurrence of any Dilutive Issuance, the Holder is entitled to receive a number of Conversion Shares based upon the Base Conversion Price on or after the date of such Dilutive Issuance, regardless of whether the Holder accurately refers to the Base Conversion Price in the Notice of Conversion. Notwithstanding the foregoing, no adjustment will be made under this Section 5(c) in respect of an Exempt Issuance.

(d) Fundamental Transaction . If, at any time while this Note is outstanding, (i) the Company, directly or indirectly, in one or more related transactions effects any merger or consolidation of the Company with or into another Person, (ii) the Company, directly or indirectly, effects any sale, lease, license, assignment, transfer, conveyance or other disposition of all or substantially all of its assets in one or a series of related transactions, (iii) any, direct or indirect, purchase offer, tender offer or exchange offer (whether by the Company or another Person) is completed pursuant to which holders of Common Stock are permitted to sell, tender or exchange their shares for other securities, cash or property and has been accepted by the holders of more than 50% of the outstanding Common Stock, (iv) the Company, directly or indirectly, in one or more related transactions effects any reclassification, reorganization or recapitalization of the Common Stock or any compulsory share exchange pursuant to which the shares of Common Stock of the Company are effectively converted into or exchanged for other securities, cash or property, or (v) the Company, directly or indirectly, in one or more related transactions consummates a business combination (including, without limitation, a reorganization, recapitalization, spin-off or scheme of arrangement) with another Person or group of Persons whereby such other Person or group acquires more than 50% of the outstanding shares of Common Stock (not including any shares of Common Stock held by the other Person or other Persons making or party to, or associated or affiliated with the other Persons making or party to, such stock or share purchase agreement or other business combination) (each a “ Fundamental Transaction ”), then, upon any subsequent conversion of this Note, the Holder shall have the right to receive, for each Conversion Share that would have been issuable upon such conversion immediately prior to the occurrence of such Fundamental Transaction (without regard to any limitation in Section 4(d) and Section 4(e) on the conversion of this Note), the number of shares of Common Stock of the successor or acquiring corporation or of the Company, if it is the surviving corporation, and any additional consideration (the “ Alternate Consideration ”) receivable as a result of such Fundamental Transaction by a holder of the number of shares of Common Stock for which this Note is convertible immediately prior to such Fundamental Transaction (without regard to any limitation in Section 4(d) and Section 4(e) on the conversion of this Note). For purposes of any such conversion, the determination of the Conversion Price shall be appropriately adjusted to apply to such Alternate Consideration based on the amount of Alternate Consideration issuable in respect of one (1) share of Common Stock in such Fundamental Transaction, and the Company shall apportion the Conversion Price among the Alternate Consideration in a reasonable manner reflecting the relative value of any different components of the Alternate Consideration. If holders of Common Stock are given any choice as to the securities, cash or property to be received in a Fundamental Transaction, then the Holder shall be given the same choice as to the Alternate Consideration it receives upon any conversion of this Note following such Fundamental Transaction. The Company shall cause any successor entity in a Fundamental Transaction in which the Company is not the survivor (the “ Successor Entity ”) to assume in writing all of the obligations of the Company under this Note and the other Transaction Documents in accordance with the provisions of this Section 5(d). Upon the occurrence of any such Fundamental Transaction, the Successor Entity shall succeed to, and be substituted for (so that from and after the date of such Fundamental Transaction, the provisions of this Note and the other Transaction Documents referring to the “Company” shall refer instead to the Successor Entity), and may exercise every right and power of the Company and shall assume all of the obligations of the Company under this Note and the other Transaction Documents with the same effect as if such Successor Entity had been named as the Company herein.

 

(e) Calculations . All calculations under this Section 5 shall be made to the nearest cent or the nearest 1/100th of a share, as the case may be. For purposes of this Section 5, the number of shares of Common Stock deemed to be issued and outstanding as of a given date shall be the sum of the number of shares of Common Stock (excluding any treasury shares of the Company) issued and outstanding.

 

(f) Notice to the Holder .

 

(i) Adjustment to Conversion Price . Whenever the Conversion Price is adjusted pursuant to any provision of this Section 5, the Company shall promptly deliver to each Holder a notice setting forth the Conversion Price after such adjustment and setting forth a brief statement of the facts requiring such adjustment.

(ii) Notice to Allow Conversion by Holder . If (A) the Company shall declare a dividend (or any other distribution in whatever form) on the Common Stock, (B) the Company shall declare a special nonrecurring cash dividend on or a redemption of the Common Stock, (C) the approval of any stockholders of the Company shall be required in connection with any reclassification of the Common Stock, any consolidation or merger to which the Company is a party, any sale or transfer of all or substantially all of the assets of the Company, or any compulsory share exchange whereby the Common Stock is converted into other securities, cash or property or (D) the Company shall authorize the voluntary or involuntary dissolution, liquidation or winding up of the affairs of the Company, then, in each case, the Company shall cause to be filed at each office or agency maintained for the purpose of conversion of this Note, and shall cause to be delivered to the Holder at its last address as it shall appear upon the Note Register, at least ten (10) calendar days prior to the applicable record or effective date hereinafter specified, a notice stating (x) the date on which a record is to be taken for the purpose of such dividend, distribution, redemption, rights or warrants, or if a record is not to be taken, the date as of which the holders of the Common Stock of record to be entitled to such dividend, distributions, redemption, rights or warrants are to be determined or (y) the date on which such reclassification, consolidation, merger, sale, transfer or share exchange is expected to become effective or close, and the date as of which it is expected that holders of the Common Stock of record shall be entitled to exchange their shares of the Common Stock for securities, cash or other property deliverable upon such reclassification, consolidation, merger, sale, transfer or share exchange, provided that the failure to deliver such notice or any defect therein or in the delivery thereof shall not affect the validity of the corporate action required to be specified in such notice. To the extent that any notice provided hereunder constitutes, or contains, material, non-public information regarding the Company, the Company shall not be required to provide such notice until such time as it makes public disclosure of such event, at which point it shall simultaneously with its public disclosure, provide notice to the Holder. The Holder shall remain entitled to convert this Note during the period commencing on the date of such notice through the effective date of the event triggering such notice except as may otherwise be expressly set forth herein.

 

Section  6 . Redemption .

 

(a) Optional Redemption at Election of Company .

The Optional Redemption Amount is payable in full on the Optional Redemption Date. The Company covenants and agrees that it will honor all permitted Notices of Conversion tendered from the time of delivery of the Optional Redemption Notice through 5:00 p.m. (New York time) on the business day immediately preceding the Optional Redemption Date. The Company further agrees to use commercially reasonable efforts to promptly file all SEC Reports required to be filed. The Company’s determination to pay an Optional Redemption in cash shall be applied ratably to all of the holders of the then outstanding Notes based on their (or their predecessor’s) initial purchases of Notes pursuant to the Exchange Agreement. Unless a Holder elects to convert its Notes prior to the time and date specified above in compliance with the terms and conditions of this Note, each Holder shall, prior to 5:00 p.m. (New York time) on the Optional Redemption Date, return any and all original Notes to be redeemed to the Company (or such other place at set forth in the Optional Redemption Notice) and such certificates shall be duly endorsed or assigned either to the Company or in blank.

Notwithstanding anything herein contained to the contrary, if any portion of an Optional Redemption Amount in connection with an Optional Redemption remains unpaid after such date, the Holder may elect, by written notice to the Company given at any time thereafter, to invalidate such Optional Redemption, ab initio , and, with respect to the Company’s failure to honor the Optional Redemption, the Company shall have no further right to exercise such Optional Redemption.

Holder has full right, power and authority to execute and deliver this Agreement and to consummate the transactions contemplated hereby. This Agreement has been duly and validly authorized, executed and delivered by Holder and (assuming due authorization, execution and delivery by the Company) constitutes the valid and binding obligation of Holder enforceable against Holder in accordance with its terms, subject to the effects of bankruptcy, insolvency, fraudulent conveyance, reorganization, moratorium and other similar laws relating to or affecting creditors’ rights generally, and general equitable principles (whether considered in a proceeding in equity or at law).

 

( b)     No Conflicts . The execution, delivery and performance of this Agreement by the Holder and the consummation by the Holder of the transactions contemplated hereby do not and will not: (i) conflict with, or constitute a default (or an event which with notice or lapse of time or both would become a default) under, or give to others any rights of termination, amendment, acceleration or cancellation of, any agreement, mortgage, deed of trust, indenture, note, bond, license, lease agreement, instrument or obligation to which the Holder is a party or by which the Holder’s properties or assets are bound; or (ii) result in a violation of any federal, state, local or foreign statute, rule, regulation, order, judgment or decree (including federal and state securities laws and regulations) applicable to the Holder or by which any property or asset of the Holder are bound or affected, except, in each case, for such conflicts, defaults, terminations, amendments, acceleration, cancellations and violations as would not, individually or in the aggregate, materially and adversely affect the Holder’s ability to perform its obligations under this Agreement. No consent, approval, authorization or order of any person, entity, court, administrative agency or governmental authority is required for the execution, delivery or performance of this Agreement by the Holder.

Neither, the New Note nor the Conversion Shares have been registered under the Securities Act and, therefore, cannot be sold unless subsequently registered under the Securities Act or an exemption from such registration is available.

 

( d)     Information . Holder has reviewed, or has had the opportunity to review, with the assistance of professional and legal advisors of its choosing, all information (including all documents filed or furnished to the Commission by the Company) relating to the business, finances and operations of the Company and materials relating to the exchange transaction which have been requested by such Holder.

Such Holder acknowledges that all of the documents filed by the Company with the Commission under Sections 13(a), 14(a) or 15(d) of the Exchange Act, that have been posted on the EDGAR site maintained by the Commission are available to such Holder, and such Holder has not relied on any statement of the Company not contained in such documents in connection with such Holder’s decision to enter into this Agreement or any other Transaction Document and to consummate the transactions contemplated hereby.

The Holders’ right to have Registrable Securities included in the first registration statement filed by the Company may be deferred to the second registration statement filed by the Company, which deferral may be continued to the third or subsequent registration statement so long as the registration statements are pursuant to underwritten offerings and the underwriter determines in good faith that marketing factors require exclusion of some or all of the Registrable Securities held by the Holders, but such deferral shall be only to the extent of such required exclusion as determined by the underwriter; and

 

(iii)     if the registration is an underwritten registration, each Holder of Registrable Securities shall enter into an underwriting agreement in customary form with the underwriter and provide such information regarding Holder that the underwriter shall reasonably request in connection with the preparation of the prospectus describing such offering, including completion of FINRA Questionnaires.

A Holder shall provide such information to the Company at least two (2) Business Days prior to the first anticipated filing date of such Registration Statement if it elects to have any of the Registrable Securities included in the Registration Statement. Each Holder agrees to furnish to the Company a completed selling security holder questionnaire (a “Questionnaire”) in the form provided to it by the Company not less than two Business Days prior to the filing date of such Registration Statement. The Company shall not be required to include the Registrable Securities of a Holder in a Registration Statement and shall not be required to pay any damages to such Holder who fails to furnish to the Company a fully completed Questionnaire at least two Business Days prior to the filing date.

(v)     Each Holder owning Registrable Securities to be sold pursuant to a registration statement, and their successors and assigns, shall severally, and not jointly, indemnify the Company, its officers and directors and any underwriter, and each person, if any, who controls the Company or such underwriter within the meaning of Section 15 of the Act or Section 20(a) of the Exchange Act, against all loss, claim, damage or reasonable expense or liability (including expenses reasonably incurred in investigating, preparing or defending against any claim) to which they may become subject under the Securities Act, the Exchange Act or otherwise, arising (A) from information furnished by or on behalf of such Holder, or their successors or assigns, for inclusion in such registration statement, or (B) as a result of use by the Holder of a registration statement that the Holder was advised to discontinue.
