Actual results may differ significantly from those set forth in the forward-looking statements. These forward-looking statements involve certain risks and uncertainties that are subject to change based on various factors (many of which are beyond the Company’s control). The Company undertakes no obligation to publicly update any forward-looking statements, whether as a result of new information, future events or otherwise, except as required by applicable law.

 

Item 1.01 Entry into a Material Definitive Agreement.

 

On April 1, 2016, the Company entered into an investment agreement (the “ Investment Agreement ”) with Newel Trading Group LLC, a Delaware limited liability company (“ Newel ”) whereby Newel is obligated, providing the Company has met certain conditions including the filing of a Form S-1 Registration Statement for the shares to be acquired, to purchase up to Twenty-Five Million Dollars ($25,000,000) of the Company’s common stock at the rates set forth in the Investment Agreement. Under the Investment Agreement, the shares are purchased at the discretion of the Company by issuing a Put Notice when funds are needed. In consideration for the execution and delivery of the Investment Agreement, Company issued 1,000,000 non-registrable shares of Company’s common stock.

 

Registration Rights Agreement

 

In connection with the sale of common stock pursuant to the Investment Agreement, the Company entered into a registration rights agreement (the “ Registration Rights Agreement ”) with Newel, pursuant to which the Company agreed to register all of the shares of common stock underlying the Investment Agreement (the “ Registrable Securities ”) on a Form S-1 registration statement (the “ Registration Statement ”) to be filed with the SEC within 30 calendar days following the Closing Date (the “ Filing Deadline ”) and to use its best efforts to cause the Registration Statement to be declared effective under the Securities Act within 120 days following the Closing Date (the “ Effectiveness Deadline ”).

 

Warrants

 

The Warrants are exercisable in whole or in part, at an initial exercise price per share of $3.50, subject to adjustment. The exercise price and number of shares of the Company’s common stock issuable under the Warrants (the “ Warrant Shares ”) are subject to adjustments for stock dividends, splits, combinations, subsequent rights offerings, pro rata distributions and any issuance of securities below the exercise price of the Warrants.

 

10% Convertible Promissory Notes

 

Concurrently with the execution of the SPA and Investment, on August 1, 2014 (the “ Issuance Date ”), the Company entered into a convertible debenture (the “ Debenture ”) with Newel for a principal amount of $500,000.

 

Interest under the Debenture is 10% per annum, and the principal and all accrued but unpaid interest is due on April 1, 2017 (the “Maturity Date”). The Debenture is convertible into shares of the Company’s common stock at a fixed price of $0.25 per share at any time following 60 days after the Issuance Date and until the Maturity Date, subject to adjustment as described in the Debenture.

The holder’s ability to convert the Debenture, however, is limited in that it will not be permitted to convert any portion of the Debenture if the number of shares of the Company’s common stock beneficially owned by the holder and its affiliates, together with the number of shares of our common stock issuable upon any full or partial conversion, would exceed 4.99% of our outstanding shares of common stock.

 

The foregoing description of the terms of the Investment Agreement, the Registration Rights Agreement, the Warrants, and the Debenture do not purport to be complete and are qualified in their entirety by reference to the provisions of such agreements forms of which are filed as exhibits 10.1, 4.1, 4.2, and 10.2 to this Current Report on Form 8-K.

 

Item 3.02 Unregistered Sales of Equity Securities.

This Convertible Debenture (the “ Debenture ”) is duly authorized and issued by Balance Labs, Inc., a Delaware corporation, (the “ Company ”), having its principal executive office at 1111 Lincoln Road, 4th Floor, Miami Beach, Florida.

 

FOR VALUE RECEIVED, the Company, promises to pay to the order of NEWEL TRADING GROUP LLC and or its registered assigns (the “ Payee ” or the “ Holder ”), the principal sum of Five Hundred Thousand Dollars ($500,000) (the “ Principal Amount ”) and all accrued interest no later than April 1, 2017 (the “ Maturity Date ”) in such coin or currency of the United States of America as at the time of payment shall be legal tender for the payment of public and private debts, unless it is previously repaid by the Company or converted into common stock. This Debenture shall accrue interest on the Principal Amount at a rate of ten percent (10%) per annum on the Maturity Date.

 

This Debenture is subject to the following additional provisions:

 

1. Conversion . At any time following sixty (90) days after the Issue Date and ending on the Maturity, unless previously repaid by the Company, this Debenture shall be convertible into shares of common stock of the Company at the option of the Holder, in whole or in part (subject to any limitations on conversion). The Holder shall effect conversions by delivering to the Company the form of Notice of Conversion attached hereto as Exhibit A (a “ Notice of Conversion ”), specifying therein the Principal Amount and interest of this Debenture to be converted and the date on which such conversion is to be effected (a “ Conversion Date ”). If no Conversion Date is specified in a Notice of Conversion, the Conversion Date shall be the date that such Notice of Conversion is provided hereunder. To effect conversions hereunder, the Holder shall not be required to physically surrender this Debenture to the Company unless the entire Principal Amount of this Debenture plus all accrued and unpaid interest thereon has been so converted. Conversions hereunder shall have the effect of lowering the outstanding Principal Amount of this Debenture in an amount equal to the applicable conversion amount. The Company shall maintain records showing the Principal Amount converted and the date of such conversions. The Holder and any assignee, by acceptance of this Debenture, acknowledge and agree that, by reason of the provisions of this paragraph, following conversion of a portion of this Debenture, the unpaid and unconverted Principal Amount of this Debenture may be less than the amount stated on the face hereof.

 

 
 

 

A. Conversion Price . Conversion Price . The conversion price (the “Conversion Price”) shall be equal to $0.25 per share (the “Fixed Conversion Price”).

 

B. Mechanism of Conversion

 

i. Conversion Shares Issuable Upon Conversion of Principal Amount . The number of Common Shares issuable upon a conversion hereunder shall be determined by the quotient obtained by dividing the outstanding principal amount of this Debenture and any accrued interest thereof to be converted by the Conversion Price.

 

ii. Delivery of Certificate Upon Conversion . In the event of any conversion of this Debenture in accordance with and subject to the terms and conditions hereof, certificates for the Common Shares shall be dated the Conversion Date and delivered to the Holder hereof within a reasonable time, not exceeding five (5) Business Days after any Conversion Date, and the Holder hereof shall be deemed for all purpose to be the holder of the Common Shares so purchased as of the date of such conversion. The Company will deliver or cause to be delivered to the Holder a certificate or certificates representing the number of Common Shares being acquired upon the conversion of this Debenture. The Holder shall deliver this original Debenture, or an indemnification undertaking with respect to such Debenture in the case of its loss, theft or destruction, at such time that this Debenture is fully exercised.

 

iii. Reservation of Shares Issuable Upon Conversion . The Company covenants that it will cause the Company to at all times reserve and keep available out of its authorized and unissued shares of common stock solely for the purpose of issuance upon any conversion of this Debenture and payment of interest on this Debenture each as herein provided, free from preemptive rights or any other actual contingent purchase rights of persons other than the Holder (and the other holders of the Debentures), not less than 100% of the Common Shares as shall be issuable upon the conversion of the Principal Amount and payment of interest hereunder. The Company covenants that all shares of common stock that shall be so issuable shall, upon issue, be duly and validly authorized, issued, and fully paid, non assessable.

 

iv. Fractional Shares . Upon a conversion hereunder the Holder shall be entitled to receive, in lieu of the financial fraction of a share, one whole share of common stock.

 

v. Transfer Taxes . The issuance of certificates for Common Shares upon conversion of this Debenture 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 certificate, 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 Debenture 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. Upon notice from the Investor to the Company requesting the conversion, the sale of the conversion shares, the company will convert the outstanding debt to equity at 80% of the sales price. The sales price is the sale of shares that take place over the 10 day period beginning on the drawdown note. Upon the tru-up.

 

 
 

 

vi. Maximum Exercise of Rights . Notwithstanding anything to the contrary set forth in this Debenture, at no time may the Holder convert all or a portion of this Debenture if the number of shares of Common Stock to be issued pursuant to such conversion, when aggregated with all other shares of Common Stock owned by the Holder at such time, would result in the Holder, together with its affiliates, beneficially owning (as determined in accordance with Section 13(d) of the Exchange Act and the rules thereunder) in excess of 4.99% of the then issued and outstanding shares of Common Stock outstanding at such time; provided , however , that upon the Holder providing the Company with at least 61 days’ notice (the “Waiver Notice”) that the Holder would like to waive this Section 1(vi) with regard to any or all shares of Common Stock issuable upon conversion of this Debenture, this Section 1(vi) shall be of no force or effect with regard to all or a portion of the Debenture referenced in the Waiver Notice.

ii. subdivide its outstanding shares of Common Stock into a larger number of shares of Common Stock, or

 

iii. combine its outstanding shares of Common Stock into a smaller number of shares of Common Stock,

 

then (1) the number of shares of Common Stock for which this Debenture is convertible immediately after the occurrence of any such event shall be adjusted to equal the number of shares of Common Stock which a record holder of the same number of shares of Common Stock for which this Debenture is exercisable immediately prior to the occurrence of such event would own or be entitled to receive after the happening of such event, and (2) the Conversion Price then in effect shall be adjusted to equal (A) the Conversion Price then in effect multiplied by the number of shares of Common Stock for which this Debenture is exercisable immediately prior to the adjustment divided by (B) the number of shares of Common Stock for which this Debenture is exercisable immediately after such adjustment.

 

 
 

 

3. Anti-Dilution Protection . Other than in connection with (i) full or partial consideration in connection with a strategic merger, acquisition, consolidation or purchase of substantially all of the securities or assets of a corporation or other entity so long as such issuances are not for the purpose of raising capital and which holders of such securities or debt are not at any time granted registration rights, (ii) the Company’s issuance of securities in connection with a bona fide strategic license agreements and other partnering arrangements with an independent third party in a similar business as the Company so long as such issuances are not for the purpose of raising capital and which holders of such securities or debt are not at any time granted registration rights, (iii) the Company’s issuance of Common Stock or the issuances or grants of options to purchase Common Stock of up to 10% of the Company’s outstanding shares to employees, directors, and consultants, pursuant to an approved employee benefit plan, and (iv) as a result of the conversion of Debenture and/or exercise of Warrants which are issued or granted pursuant to this Agreement (collectively, the foregoing (i) through (iv) are “Excepted Issuances”), if for a period of one (1) year following the Initial Closing Date, the Company shall agree to or issue (the “Lower Price Issuance”) any Common Stock or securities convertible into or exercisable for shares of Common Stock (or modify any of the foregoing which may be outstanding) to any person or entity at a price per share or conversion or exercise price per share which shall be less than the Conversion Price in effect at such time without the consent of the Purchaser, then the Conversion Price shall be reduced to such lower price.

Any such increase or decrease will not be effective until the 61 st day after such notice is delivered to the Company. The provisions of this paragraph shall be construed and implemented in a manner otherwise than in strict conformity with the terms of this Section 2(d) to correct this paragraph (or any portion hereof) which may be defective or inconsistent with the intended Beneficial Ownership Limitation herein contained or to make changes or supplements necessary or desirable to properly give effect to such limitation.

d) Authorized Shares .

 

The Company covenants that, during the period the Warrant is outstanding, it will reserve from its authorized and unissued Common Stock a sufficient number of shares to provide for the issuance of the Warrant Shares upon the exercise of any purchase rights under this Warrant. The Company further covenants that its issuance of this Warrant shall constitute full authority to its officers who are charged with the duty of issuing the necessary Warrant Shares upon the exercise of the purchase rights under this Warrant.

e) Jurisdiction . All questions concerning the construction, validity, enforcement and interpretation of this Warrant shall be determined in accordance with the provisions of the Agreement.

 

f) Nonwaiver and Expenses . No course of dealing or any delay or failure to exercise any right hereunder on the part of Holder shall operate as a waiver of such right or otherwise prejudice the Holder’s rights, powers or remedies, notwithstanding the fact that all rights hereunder terminate on the Termination Date. If the Company willfully and knowingly fails to comply with any provision of this Warrant, which results in any material damages to the Holder, the Company shall pay to the Holder such amounts as shall be sufficient to cover any costs and expenses including, but not limited to, reasonable attorneys’ fees, including those of appellate proceedings, incurred by the Holder in collecting any amounts due pursuant hereto or in otherwise enforcing any of its rights, powers or remedies hereunder.

 

g) Notices . Any notice, request or other document required or permitted to be given or delivered to the Holder by the Company shall be delivered in accordance with the notice provisions of the Agreement.

i) Remedies . The Holder, in addition to being entitled to exercise all rights granted by law, including recovery of damages, will be entitled to specific performance of its rights under this Warrant.

j) Successors and Assigns .

k) Amendment . This Warrant may be modified or amended or the provisions hereof waived with the written consent of the Company and the Holder.

  v. the issuance of the Securities will not violate any stockholder approval requirements of the Principal Market.

 

If any of the events described in clauses (i) through (v) above occurs during the ten days prior to the Investor’s receipt of a Drawdown Notice,, then the Investor shall have no obligation to purchase the Drawdown Amount of Common Stock set forth in the applicable Drawdown Notice.

Subject to the satisfaction of the conditions set forth in Sections 2.6, 7 and 8 of this Agreement, the closing of the purchase of the Securities by the Investor (a “ Closing ”) shall occur on the date (each a “ Closing Date ”), provided that, the Company has delivered to the Investor pursuant to this Agreement, certificates representing the Securities to be issued to the Investor on such date and registered in the name of the Investor (the “ Certificate ”), together with any supporting documentation reasonably necessary to allow the Certificate to be cleared for trading prior to 12:00 pm Eastern Time on such date. If the Certificate is delivered for trading after 12:00 pm Eastern Time on a Trading Day, the Closing shall occur on the next Trading Day. If the Investor notifies the Company of a deficiency in delivery within four business days of receiving such delivery, a Closing will be delayed by single consecutive Trading Days until such deficiency is cured. If, after the expiration of the four business day period, the Investor is notified of a deficiency in the delivery and/or the need of additional documentation to allow the Certificate to be cleared for trading, upon notification from the Investor of the deficiency and/or necessary additional documentation, the Company agrees to use its commercially reasonable efforts to ensure that such deficiency is cured and all additional documentation is delivered to the Investor. Upon receipt of the Securities, the Investor will pay the Company the Purchase Price.

2.6 OVERALL LIMIT ON COMMON STOCK ISSUABLE . Notwithstanding anything contained herein to the contrary, if during the Open Period the Company becomes listed on an exchange that limits the number of Shares that may be issued without stockholder approval, then the number of Shares issuable by the Company and purchasable by the Investor, shall not exceed that number of the Shares that may be issuable without stockholder approval (the “ Maximum Common Stock Issuance ”). If such issuance of Shares could cause a delisting on the Principal Market, then the Maximum Common Stock Issuance shall first be approved by the Company’s stockholders in accordance with applicable law and the Certificate of Incorporation and By-laws of the Company. The parties understand and agree that the Company’s failure to seek or obtain such stockholder approval shall in no way adversely affect the validity and due authorization of the issuance and sale of Securities or the Investor’s obligation in accordance with the terms and conditions hereof to purchase a number of Shares in the aggregate up to the Maximum Common Stock Issuance limitation, and that such approval pertains only to the applicability of the Maximum Common Stock Issuance limitation provided in this Section 2.5 .

 

     
 

 

2.7 LIMITATION ON AMOUNT OF OWNERSHIP . Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement, in no event shall the Investor be entitled to purchase that number of Shares, which when added to the sum of the number of Shares beneficially owned (as such term is defined under Section 13(d) and Rule 13d-3 of the 1934 Act), by the Investor, would exceed 4.99% of the number of Shares outstanding on the Closing Date, as determined in accordance with Rule 13d-1(j) of the 1934 Act.

REGISTRATION

 

2.1                The Company shall use all commercially reasonable efforts to, within thirty (30) days of the date of this Agreement, file with the SEC a Registration Statement or Registration Statements (as is necessary) on Form S-1 (or, if such form is unavailable for such a registration, on such other form as is available for such registration), covering the resale the Registrable Securities, which Registration Statement(s) shall state that, in accordance with Rule 416 promulgated under the 1933 Act, such Registration Statement also covers such indeterminate number of additional shares of Common Stock as may become issuable upon stock splits, stock dividends or similar transactions. The Registration Statement shall be prepared by Investor’s legal counsel and shall be reviewed by Company’s legal counsel.

 

2.2                The Company shall use all commercially reasonable efforts to have the initial Registration Statement, and each other Registration Statement required to be filed pursuant to the terms hereof, declared effective by the SEC as soon as practicable, but in no event later than one hundred and twenty (120) days of the date of this Agreement (the “ Effectiveness Deadline ”).

 

2.3                The Company agrees not to include any other securities in the Registration Statement covering the Registrable Securities without Investor’s prior written consent which Investor may withhold in its sole discretion. Furthermore, the Company agrees that it will not file any other Registration Statement for other securities, until thirty calendar days after the Registration Statement for the Registrable Securities is declared effective by the SEC.

 

2.4                Notwithstanding the registration obligations set forth in this Section 2.4, if the staff of the SEC (the “ Staff ”) or the SEC informs the Company that all of the unregistered Registrable Securities cannot, as a result of the application of Rule 415, be registered for resale as a secondary offering on a single Registration Statement, the Company agrees to promptly (i) inform each of the holders thereof and use its commercially reasonable efforts to file amendments to the Registration Statement as required by the SEC and/or (ii) withdraw the Registration Statement and file a new Registration Statement (the “ New Registration Statement ”), in either case covering the maximum number of Registrable Securities permitted to be registered by the SEC, on Form S-1 to register for resale the Registrable Securities as a secondary offering. If the Company amends the Registration Statement or files a New Registration Statement, as the case may be, under clauses (i) or (ii) above, the Company will use its commercially reasonable efforts to file with the SEC, as promptly as allowed by the Staff or SEC, one or more registration statements on Form S-1 to register for resale those Registrable Securities that were not registered for resale on the Registration Statement, as amended, or the New Registration Statement. Additionally, the Company shall have the ability to file one or more New Registration Statements to cover the Registrable Securities once the Shares under the initial Registration Statement referenced in Section 2.1 have been sold.

 

     
 

 

SECTION III
RELATED OBLIGATIONS

 

At such time as the Company is obligated to prepare and file the Registration Statement with the SEC pursuant to Section 2, the Company will affect the registration of the Registrable Securities in accordance with the intended method of disposition thereof and, with respect thereto, the Company shall have the following obligations:

 

3.1                The Company shall use all commercially reasonable efforts to cause such Registration Statement relating to the Registrable Securities to become effective and shall keep such Registration Statement effective until the earlier to occur of the date on which (A) the Investor shall have sold all the Registrable Securities; (B) the Investor has no right to acquire any additional shares of Common Stock under the Investment Agreement; (C) the Registrable Securities have been sold pursuant to Rule 144 or may be sold without volume or manner-of-sale restrictions pursuant to Rule 144; or (D) 36 months following the Effectiveness Date (the “ Registration Period ”).

 

3.2                The Company shall prepare and file with the SEC such amendments (including post-effective amendments) and supplements to the Registration Statement and the prospectus used in connection with such Registration Statement, which prospectus is to be filed pursuant to Rule 424 promulgated under the 1933 Act, as may be necessary to keep such Registration Statement effective during the Registration Period, and, during such period, comply with the provisions of the 1933 Act with respect to the disposition of all Registrable Securities of the Company covered by such Registration Statement until such time as all of such Registrable Securities shall have been disposed of in accordance with the intended methods of disposition by the Investor thereof as set forth in such Registration Statement. In the event the number of shares of Common Stock covered by the Registration Statement filed pursuant to this Agreement is at any time insufficient to cover all of the Registrable Securities, the Company shall amend such Registration Statement, or file a new Registration Statement (on the short form available therefor, if applicable), or both, so as to cover all of the Registrable Securities, in each case, as soon as practicable, but in any event within thirty (30) calendar days after the necessity therefor arises (based on the then Purchase Price of the Common Stock and other relevant factors on which the Company reasonably elects to rely), assuming the Company has sufficient authorized shares at that time, and if it does not, within thirty (30) calendar days after such shares are authorized. The Company shall use commercially reasonable efforts to cause such amendment and/or new Registration Statement to become effective as soon as practicable following the filing thereof.

 

3.3                The Company shall make available to the Investor whose Registrable Securities are included in any Registration Statement and its legal counsel without charge (i) promptly after the same is prepared and filed with the SEC at least one (1) copy of such Registration Statement and any amendment(s) thereto, including financial statements and schedules, all documents incorporated therein by reference and all exhibits, the prospectus included in such Registration Statement (including each preliminary prospectus) and, with regards to such Registration Statement(s), any correspondence by or on behalf of the Company to the SEC or the staff of the SEC and any correspondence from the SEC or the staff of the SEC to the Company or its representatives; (ii) upon the effectiveness of any Registration Statement, the Company shall make available copies of the prospectus, via EDGAR, included in such Registration Statement and all amendments and supplements thereto; and (iii) such other documents, including copies of any preliminary or final prospectus, as the Investor may reasonably request from time to time to facilitate the disposition of the Registrable Securities.

 

     
 

 

3.4                The Company shall use commercially reasonable efforts to (i) register and qualify the Registrable Securities covered by the Registration Statement under such other securities or “blue sky” laws of such states in the United States as the Investor reasonably requests; (ii) prepare and file in those jurisdictions, such amendments (including post-effective amendments) and supplements to such registrations and qualifications as may be necessary to maintain the effectiveness thereof during the Registration Period; (iii) take such other actions as may be necessary to maintain such registrations and qualifications in effect at all times during the Registration Period, and (iv) take all other actions reasonably necessary or advisable to qualify the Registrable Securities for sale in such jurisdictions; provided, however, that the Company shall not be required in connection therewith or as a condition thereto to (x) qualify to do business in any jurisdiction where it would not otherwise be required to qualify but for this Section 3.4, or (y) subject itself to general taxation in any such jurisdiction. The Company shall promptly notify the Investor who holds Registrable Securities of the receipt by the Company of any notification with respect to the suspension of the registration or qualification of any of the Registrable Securities for sale under the securities or “blue sky” laws of any jurisdiction in the United States or its receipt of actual notice of the initiation or threatening of any proceeding for such purpose.

 

3.5                As promptly as practicable, but in no event more than three (3) calendar days, after becoming aware of such event, the Company shall notify Investor in writing of the happening of any event as a result of which the prospectus included in the Registration Statement, as then in effect, includes an untrue statement of a material fact or omission to state a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein, in light of the circumstances under which they were made, not misleading (“ Registration Default ”) and use all diligent efforts to promptly prepare a supplement or amendment to such Registration Statement and take any other necessary steps to cure the Registration Default (which, if such Registration Statement is on Form S-3, may consist of a document to be filed by the Company with the SEC pursuant to Section 13(a), 13(c), 14 or 15(d) of the 1934 Act (as defined below) and to be incorporated by reference in the prospectus) to correct such untrue statement or omission, and make available copies of such supplement or amendment to the Investor. The Company shall also promptly notify the Investor (i) when a prospectus or any prospectus supplement or post-effective amendment has been filed, and when the Registration Statement or any post-effective amendment has become effective (the Company will prepare notification of such effectiveness which shall be delivered to the Investor on the same day of such effectiveness and by overnight mail), additionally, the Company will promptly provide to the Investor, a copy of the effectiveness order prepared by the SEC once it is received by the Company; (ii) of any request by the SEC for amendments or supplements to the Registration Statement or related prospectus or related information, (iii) of the Company’s reasonable determination that a post-effective amendment to the Registration Statement would be appropriate, (iv) in the event the Registration Statement is no longer effective, or (v) if the Registration Statement is stale as a result of the Company’s failure to timely file its financials or otherwise

 

3.6                The Company shall use all commercially reasonable efforts to prevent the issuance of any stop order or other suspension of effectiveness of the Registration Statement, or the suspension of the qualification of any of the Registrable Securities for sale in any jurisdiction and, if such an order or suspension is issued, to obtain the withdrawal of such order or suspension at the earliest possible moment and to notify the Investor holding Registrable Securities being sold of the issuance of such order and the resolution thereof or its receipt of actual notice of the initiation or threat of any proceeding concerning the effectiveness of the registration statement.

 

3.7                The Company shall permit the Investor and one (1) legal counsel, designated by the Investor, to review and comment upon the Registration Statement and all amendments and supplements thereto at least three (3) calendar day prior to their filing with the SEC, provided, however, that the Company is under no obligation to make changes to the Registration Statement and all amendments or supplements thereto based on comments from the Investor and its legal counsel. However, any postponement of a filing of a Registration Statement or any postponement of a request for acceleration or any postponement of the effective date or effectiveness of a Registration Statement by written request of the Investor (collectively, the “ Investor’s Delay ”) shall not act to trigger any penalty of any kind, or any cash amount due or any in-kind amount due the Investor from the Company under any and all agreements of any nature or kind between the Company and the Investor. The event(s) of an Investor’s Delay shall act to suspend all obligations of the Company relating to having the Registration Statement filed and declared effective by the SEC under the Financing Agreements between the Company and the Investor, including but not limited to Sections 2.2 and 2.3 of this Agreement.

 

     
 

 

3.8                The Company shall hold in confidence and not make any disclosure of information concerning the Investor unless (i) disclosure of such information is necessary to comply with federal or state securities laws, (ii) the disclosure of such information is necessary to avoid or correct a misstatement or omission in any Registration Statement, (iii) the release of such information is ordered pursuant to a subpoena or other final, non-appealable order from a court or governmental body of competent jurisdiction, or (iv) such information has been made generally available to the public other than by disclosure in violation of this Agreement or any other agreement. The Company agrees that it shall, to the extent permitted by law, upon learning that disclosure of such information concerning the Investor is sought in or by a court or governmental body of competent jurisdiction or through other means, give prompt written notice to the Investor and allow the Investor, at the Investor’s expense, to undertake appropriate action to prevent disclosure of, or to obtain a protective order covering such information.

 

3.9                The Company shall use all commercially reasonable efforts to maintain designation and quotation of all the Registrable Securities covered by any Registration Statement on the Principal Market. If, despite the Company’s commercially reasonable efforts, the Company is unsuccessful in satisfying the preceding sentence, it shall use commercially reasonable efforts to cause all the Registrable Securities covered by any Registration Statement to be listed on each other national securities exchange and automated quotation system, if any, on which securities of the same class or series issued by the Company are then listed, if any, if the listing of such Registrable Securities is then permitted under the rules of such exchange or system. The Company shall pay all fees and expenses in connection with satisfying its obligation under this Section 3.9.

 

3.10            The Company shall cooperate with the Investor to facilitate the prompt preparation and delivery of certificates representing the Registrable Securities to be offered pursuant to the Registration Statement and enable such certificates to be in such denominations or amounts, as the case may be, as the Investor may reasonably request (and after any sales of such Registrable Securities by the Investor, such certificates not bearing any restrictive legend).

 

3.11            The Company shall provide a transfer agent for all the Registrable Securities not later than the effective date of the first Registration Statement filed pursuant hereto.

 

3.12            If requested by the Investor, the Company shall (i) as soon as reasonably practical incorporate in a prospectus supplement or post-effective amendment such information as the Investor reasonably determines should be included therein relating to the sale and distribution of Registrable Securities, including, without limitation, information with respect to the offering of the Registrable Securities to be sold in such offering; (ii) make all required filings of such prospectus supplement or post-effective amendment as soon as reasonably possible after being notified of the matters to be incorporated in such prospectus supplement or post-effective amendment; and (iii) supplement or make amendments to any Registration Statement if reasonably requested by the Investor.

 

     
 

 

3.13            The Company shall use all commercially reasonable efforts to cause the Registrable Securities covered by the applicable Registration Statement to be registered with or approved by such other governmental agencies or authorities as may be necessary to facilitate the disposition of such Registrable Securities.

 

3.14            The Company shall otherwise use all commercially reasonable efforts to comply with all applicable rules and regulations of the SEC in connection with any registration hereunder.

 

3.15            Within three (3) business day after the Registration Statement which includes the Registrable Securities is declared effective by the SEC, the Company shall deliver to the transfer agent for such Registrable Securities, with copies to the Investor, confirmation that such Registration Statement has been declared effective by the SEC in the form attached hereto as Exhibit A .

 

3.16            The Company shall take all other reasonable actions necessary to expedite and facilitate disposition by the Investor of Registrable Securities pursuant to the Registration Statement.

OBLIGATIONS OF THE INVESTOR

4.1                At least five (5) calendar days prior to the first anticipated filing date of the Registration Statement the Company shall notify the Investor in writing of the information the Company requires from the Investor for the Registration Statement. It shall be a condition precedent to the obligations of the Company to complete the registration pursuant to this Agreement with respect to the Registrable Securities and the Investor agrees to furnish to the Company that information regarding itself, the Registrable Securities and the intended method of disposition of the Registrable Securities as shall reasonably be required to effect the registration of such Registrable Securities and the Investor shall execute such documents in connection with such registration as the Company may reasonably request.

SECTION VI
INDEMNIFICATION

 

In the event any Registrable Securities are included in the Registration Statement under this Agreement:

 

6.1                To the fullest extent permitted by law, the Company, under this Agreement, will, and hereby does, indemnify, hold harmless and defend the Investor who holds Registrable Securities, the directors, officers, partners, employees, counsel, agents, representatives of, and each Person, if any, who controls, any Investor within the meaning of the 1933 Act or the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “ 1934 Act ”) (each, an “ Indemnified Person ”), against any losses, claims, damages, liabilities, judgments, fines, penalties, charges, costs, attorneys’ fees, amounts paid in settlement or expenses, joint or several (collectively, “ Claims ”), incurred in investigating, preparing or defending any action, claim, suit, inquiry, proceeding, investigation or appeal taken from the foregoing by or before any court or governmental, administrative or other regulatory agency, body or the SEC, whether pending or threatened, whether or not an indemnified party is or may be a party thereto (“ Indemnified Damages ”), to which any of them may become subject insofar as such Claims (or actions or proceedings, whether commenced or threatened, in respect thereof) arise out of or are based upon: (i) any untrue statement or alleged untrue statement of a material fact in the Registration Statement or any post-effective amendment thereto or in any filing made in connection with the qualification of the offering under the securities or other “blue sky” laws of any jurisdiction in which the Investor has requested in writing that the Company register or qualify the Registrable Securities, or the omission or alleged omission to state a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein, in light of the circumstances under which the statements therein were made, not misleading, (ii) any untrue statement or alleged untrue statement of a material fact contained in the final prospectus (as amended or supplemented, if the Company files any amendment thereof or supplement thereto with the SEC) or the omission or alleged omission to state therein any material fact necessary to make the statements made therein, in light of the circumstances under which the statements therein were made, not misleading, or (iii) any violation or alleged violation by the Company of the 1933 Act, the 1934 Act, any other state or federal securities law, or any rule or regulation thereunder relating to the offer or sale of the Registrable Securities pursuant to the Registration Statement (the matters in the foregoing clauses (i) through (iii) being, collectively, “ Violations ”). Subject to the restrictions set forth in Section 6.3 the Company shall reimburse the Investor and each such controlling person, promptly as such expenses are incurred and are due and payable, for any reasonable legal fees or other reasonable expenses incurred by them in connection with investigating or defending any such Claim. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, the indemnification agreement contained in this Section 6.1: (i) shall not apply to a Claim arising out of or based upon a Violation which is due to the inclusion in the Registration Statement of the information furnished to the Company by any Indemnified Person expressly for use in connection with the preparation of the Registration Statement or any such amendment thereof or supplement thereto; (ii) shall not be available to the extent such Claim is based on (a) a failure of the Investor to deliver or to cause to be delivered the prospectus made available by the Company or (b) the Indemnified Person’s use of an incorrect prospectus despite being promptly advised in advance by the Company in writing not to use such incorrect prospectus; (iii) any claims based on the manner of sale of the Registrable Securities by the Investor or of the Investor’s failure to register as a dealer under applicable securities laws; (iv) any omission of the Investor to notify the Company of any material fact that required disclosure in the Registration Statement or prospectus relating to the Investor or the manner of sale; and (v) any amounts paid in settlement of any Claim if such settlement is effected without the prior written consent of the Company, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld. Such indemnity shall remain in full force and effect regardless of any investigation made by or on behalf of the Indemnified Person and shall survive the resale of the Registrable Securities by the Investor pursuant to the Registration Statement.

 

     
 

 

6.2                In connection with any Registration Statement in which Investor is participating, the Investor agrees to severally and jointly indemnify, hold harmless and defend, to the same extent and in the same manner as is set forth in Section 6.1, the Company, each of its directors, each of its officers who signs the Registration Statement, each Person, if any, who controls the Company within the meaning of the 1933 Act or the 1934 Act and the Company’s agents (collectively and together with an Indemnified Person, an “ Indemnified Party ”), against any Claim or Indemnified Damages to which any of them may become subject, under the 1933 Act, the 1934 Act or otherwise, insofar as such Claim or Indemnified Damages arise out of or are based upon any Violation, in each case to the extent, and only to the extent, that such Violation is due to the inclusion in the Registration Statement of willfully misleading written information furnished to the Company by the Investor expressly for use in connection with such Registration Statement; and, subject to Section 6.3, the Investor will reimburse any legal or other expenses reasonably incurred by them in connection with investigating or defending any such Claim; provided, however , that the indemnity agreement contained in this Section 6.2 and the agreement with respect to contribution contained in Section 7 shall not apply to amounts paid in settlement of any Claim if such settlement is effected without the prior written consent of the Investor, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld; provided, further, however, that the Investor shall only be liable under this Section 6.2 for that amount of a Claim or Indemnified Damages as does not exceed the net proceeds to such Investor as a result of the sale of Registrable Securities pursuant to such Registration Statement. Such indemnity shall remain in full force and effect regardless of any investigation made by or on behalf of such Indemnified Party and shall survive the resale of the Registrable Securities by the Investor pursuant to the Registration Statement. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, the indemnification agreement contained in this Section 6.2 with respect to any preliminary prospectus shall not inure to the benefit of any Indemnified Party if the untrue statement or omission of material fact contained in the preliminary prospectus were corrected on a timely basis in the prospectus, as then amended or supplemented. This indemnification provision shall apply separately to each Investor and liability hereunder shall not be joint and several.

 

6.3                Promptly after receipt by an Indemnified Person or Indemnified Party under this Section6 of notice of the commencement of any action or proceeding (including any governmental action or proceeding) involving a Claim, such Indemnified Person or Indemnified Party shall, if a Claim in respect thereof is to be made against any indemnifying party under this Section 6, deliver to the indemnifying party a written notice of the commencement thereof, and the indemnifying party shall have the right to participate in, and, to the extent the indemnifying party so desires, jointly with any other indemnifying party similarly noticed, to assume control of the defense thereof with counsel mutually satisfactory to the indemnifying party and the Indemnified Person or the Indemnified Party, as the case may be; provided, however, that an Indemnified Person or Indemnified Party shall have the right to retain its own counsel with the fees and expenses to be paid by the indemnifying party, if, in the reasonable opinion of counsel retained by the Indemnified Person or Indemnified Party, the representation by counsel of the Indemnified Person or Indemnified Party and the indemnifying party would be inappropriate due to actual or potential differing interests between such Indemnified Person or Indemnified Party and any other party represented by such counsel in such proceeding. The indemnifying party shall pay for only one (1) separate legal counsel for the Indemnified Persons or the Indemnified Parties, as applicable, and such counsel shall be selected by the Investor, if the Investor is entitled to indemnification hereunder, or the Company, if the Company is entitled to indemnification hereunder, as applicable. The Indemnified Party or Indemnified Person shall cooperate fully with the indemnifying party in connection with any negotiation or defense of any such action or Claim by the indemnifying party and shall furnish to the indemnifying party all information reasonably available to the Indemnified Party or Indemnified Person which relates to such action or Claim. The indemnifying party shall keep the Indemnified Party or Indemnified Person fully apprised at all times as to the status of the defense or any settlement negotiations with respect thereto. No indemnifying party shall be liable for any settlement of any action, claim or proceeding affected without its written consent, provided, however, that the indemnifying party shall not unreasonably withhold, delay or condition its consent. No indemnifying party shall, without the consent of the Indemnified Party or Indemnified Person, consent to entry of any judgment or enter into any settlement or other compromise which does not include as an unconditional term thereof the giving by the claimant or plaintiff to such Indemnified Party or Indemnified Person of a release from all liability in respect to such Claim. Following indemnification as provided for hereunder, the indemnifying party shall be subrogated to all rights of the Indemnified Party or Indemnified Person with respect to all third parties, firms or corporations relating to the matter for which indemnification has been made. The failure to deliver written notice to the indemnifying party within a reasonable time of the commencement of any such action shall not relieve such indemnifying party of any liability to the Indemnified Person or Indemnified Party under this Section 6, except to the extent that the indemnifying party is prejudiced in its ability to defend such action.

 

     
 

 

6.4                The indemnity agreements contained herein shall be in addition to (i) any cause of action or similar right of the Indemnified Party or Indemnified Person against the indemnifying party or others, and (ii) any liabilities the indemnifying party may be subject to pursuant to the law.

 

SECTION VII

CONTRIBUTION

 

7.1                To the extent any indemnification by an indemnifying party is prohibited or limited by law, the indemnifying party agrees to make the maximum contribution with respect to any amounts for which it would otherwise be liable under Section 6 to the fullest extent permitted by law; provided, however, that: (i) no contribution shall be made under circumstances where the maker would not have been liable for indemnification under the fault standards set forth in Section 6; (ii) no seller of Registrable Securities guilty of fraudulent misrepresentation (within the meaning of Section 11(f) of the 1933 Act) shall be entitled to contribution from any seller of Registrable Securities who was not guilty of fraudulent misrepresentation or the Company; and (iii) contribution by any seller of Registrable Securities shall be limited in amount to the net amount of proceeds received by such seller from the sale of such Registrable Securities.

Re: Balance Labs, Inc.

 

Ladies and Gentlemen:

 

We are counsel to Balance Labs, Inc., a Delaware corporation (the “Company”), and have represented the Company in connection with that certain Investment Agreement (the “Investment Agreement”) entered into by and among the Company and NEWEL TRADING GROUP, LLC (the “Investor”) pursuant to which the Company has agreed to issue to the Investor shares of the Company’s common stock, $0.0001 par value per share (the “Common Stock”) on the terms and conditions set forth in the Investment Agreement. Pursuant to the Investment Agreement, the Company also has entered into a Registration Rights Agreement with the Investor (the “Registration Rights Agreement”) pursuant to which the Company agreed, among other things, to register the Registrable Securities (as defined in the Registration Rights Agreement), including the shares of Common Stock issued or issuable under the Investment Agreement under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “1933 Act”). In connection with the Company’s obligations under the Registration Rights Agreement, on ___________ ___, 2015, the Company filed a Registration Statement on Form S-1 (File No. 333-________) (the “Registration Statement”) with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) relating to the Registrable Securities which names the Investor as a selling stockholder thereunder.

 

In connection with the foregoing, we advise you that a member of the SEC’s staff has advised us by telephone that the SEC has entered an order declaring the Registration Statement effective under the 1933 Act at ______ on __________, 20__ and we have no knowledge, after telephonic inquiry of a member of the SEC’s staff, that any stop order suspending its effectiveness has been issued or that any proceedings for that purpose are pending before, or threatened by, the SEC and the Registrable Securities are available for sale under the 1933 Act pursuant to the Registration Statement

 

  Very truly yours,
   
  [Company Counsel]
