Item 1.01 Entry into a Material Definitive Agreement.

 

On March 22, 2019, Boxlight Corporation, a Nevada corporation (Nasdaq:BOXL), entered into a securities purchase agreement with Lind Global Marco Fund, LP (the “Investor”) that contemplates a $4,000,000 working capital financing for Boxlight and its subsidiaries. The investment is in the form of a $4,400,000 principal amount secured convertible Boxlight note with a maturity date of 24 months from the date of funding. The note is convertible at the option of the Investor into our Class A voting common stock at a fixed conversion price of $4.00 per share. We will have the right to force the Investor to convert up to 50% of the outstanding amount of the note if the volume weighted average closing price of our Class A common stock trades above $8.00 for 30 consecutive days; and 100% of the outstanding amount of the note if the volume weighted average closing price of our Class A common stock trades above $12.00 for 30 consecutive days. At closing a total of $4,000,000 will be funded under the note.

 

We anticipate that the closing of the funding by the Investor will be on or about March 29, 2019 or shortly thereafter.

 

We are required to make monthly interest payments on the note at the rate of 8% per annum and principal payments in 18 equal monthly installments of $244,444.44 each, commencing six months after closing. So long as shares of our Class A common stock are registered for resale under the Securities Act or may be sold without restriction on the number of shares or manner of sale, we have the right to make interest payments in the form of additional shares of Class A common stock.

 

We have the right to prepay the convertible note at any time with no penalty (the “Buy-Back Right”). Should we exercise our Buy-Back Right, the Investor will have the option of converting 25% of the outstanding $4.4 million principal amount of the note into shares of our Class A common stock.

 

The convertible note is secured by a second priority lien on our assets and properties, subordinated only to the lien of Sallyport Commercial Finance LLC.

 

The foregoing descriptions of the securities purchase agreement and related exhibits, including a note, security agreement and intercreditor agreement, do not purport to be complete and are qualified in their entirety by reference to the complete text of such agreements, copies of which are attached to this Current Report on Form 8-K as Exhibits 10.1, 10.2, 10.3 and 10.4, respectively, and are incorporated by reference herein to this Item 1.01 in their entirety.

For value received, BOXLIGHT CORPORATION, a Nevada corporation (the “ Maker ” or the “ Company ”), hereby promises to pay to the order of Lind Global Macro Fund, LP, a Delaware limited partnership (together with its successors and representatives, the “ Holder ”), in accordance with the terms hereinafter provided, the principal amount of FOUR MILLION FOUR HUNDRED THOUSAND DOLLARS ($4,400,000.00) (the “ Principal Amount ”).

 

All payments under or pursuant to this Secured Convertible Promissory Note (this “ Note ”) shall be made in United States Dollars in immediately available funds to the Holder at the address of the Holder set forth in the Purchase Agreement (as hereinafter defined) or at such other place as the Holder may designate from time to time in writing to the Maker or by wire transfer of funds to the Holder’s account, instructions for which are attached hereto as Exhibit A . The outstanding principal balance of this Note plus all accrued interest thereon (if any) shall be due and payable on March 22, 2021 (the “ Maturity Date ”) or at such earlier time as provided herein.

 

     
 

 

ARTICLE 1

 

1.1 Purchase Agreement . This Note has been executed and delivered pursuant to the Securities Purchase Agreement, dated as of March 22, 2019 (as the same may be amended from time to time, the “ Purchase Agreement ”), by and between the Maker and the Holder. Capitalized terms used and not otherwise defined herein shall have the meanings set forth for such terms in the Purchase Agreement.

 

1.2 Interest . Except as set forth in Section 2.2 , the entire unpaid Principal Amount hereof shall accrue interest at an annual rate equal to eight percent (8%), compounded monthly, which shall be payable as set forth in Section 1.3(a) below.

 

1.3 Payment of Principal and Interest .

 

(a) Interest Payments. Commencing on the day that is the one (1) month anniversary of the Issuance Date, and then on each successive one (1) month anniversary thereof and on the Maturity Date (or if this Note is accelerated, converted or redeemed, on the date of such acceleration, conversion or redemption, as the case may be), until all amounts owing hereunder have been paid, as more particularly set forth in Schedule 1 attached hereto (each, an “ Interest Payment Date ”), the Maker shall pay to the Holder all interest that has accrued and remains unpaid on the outstanding Principal Amount of this Note, in accordance with the terms hereof. On the Interest Payment Dates, such monthly payments shall, at the Maker’s option, be made in cash or Repayment Shares; provided that the number of Repayment Shares shall be determined by dividing the accrued interest being paid in shares of Common Stock by the Repayment Share Price (as defined below); provided, however, that no interest may be paid in Repayment Shares unless such (1) such Repayment Shares may be immediately resold under Rule 144 without restriction on the number of shares to be sold or manner of sale, or (2) registered for resale under the 1933 Act. Notwithstanding the foregoing, for the period commencing on the Issuance Date and ending on the six (6) month anniversary of the Issuance Date, all the interest payable during such period pursuant to this Section 1.3(a) shall accrue and, on the one hundred eighty-one (181) day anniversary of the Issuance Date, the Holder shall have the option to either (i) convert all such accrued interest into shares of Common Stock at the lesser of the Conversion Price (as defined below) and the Repayment Share Price or (ii) be paid, in a single payment, the full amount of all the accrued interest in cash.

 

(b) Principal Installment Payments. Commencing on the day that is the six (6) month anniversary of the Issuance Date, the Maker shall pay to the Holder the outstanding Principal Amount hereunder in monthly installments, on such date and each one (1) month anniversary thereof, as more particularly set forth in Schedule 1 attached hereto (each, a “ Payment Date ”), of Two Hundred Forty-Four Thousand Four Hundred Forty-Four and 44/100 Dollars ($244,444.44) (the “ Monthly Payments ”), until the Principal Amount has been paid in full prior to or on the Maturity Date or, if earlier, upon acceleration, conversion or redemption of this Note in accordance with the terms herein. The Monthly Payments shall, at the Maker’s option, be made in (i) cash, (ii) Repayment Shares, or (iii) a combination of cash and Repayment Shares; provided that the number of Repayment Shares shall be determined by dividing the Principal Amount plus accrued interest (if any) being paid in shares of Common Stock at the Repayment Share Price; provided, however, that no portion of the Principal Amount may be paid in Repayment Shares unless (A) such Repayment Shares may be immediately resold under Rule 144 without restriction on the number of shares to be sold or manner of sale, or (B) registered for resale under the 1933 Act. The Monthly Payments may be increased at the Maker’s sole discretion if made in cash, or upon mutual consent of the Maker and the Holder if made by the issuance of the Repayment Shares.

 

  2  
 

 

(c) Prepayment. At any time after the Issuance Date, the Maker may repay all (but not less than all) of the Outstanding Principal Amount plus all accrued interest thereon (if any), upon at least ten (10) days written notice of the Holder (the “ Prepayment Notice ”). If the Maker elects to prepay this Note pursuant to the provisions of this Section 1.3(c) , the Holder shall have the right, upon written notice to the Maker (a “ Prepayment Conversion Notice ”) within five (5) Business Days of the Holder’s receipt of a Prepayment Notice, to convert up to twenty-five percent (25%) of the Outstanding Principal Amount plus accrued interest thereon (if any) on the Issuance Date (the “ Maximum Amount ”) at the lesser of (i) the Conversion Price and (ii) the Cash Repayment Price (as defined below), in accordance with the provisions of Article 3, specifying the Principal Amount plus accrued interest (if any) (up to the Maximum Amount) that the Holder will convert. Upon delivery of a Prepayment Notice, the Maker irrevocably and unconditionally agrees to, within five (5) Business Days of receiving a Prepayment Conversion Notice, and if no Prepayment Conversion Notice is received, within ten (10) Business Days of delivery of a Prepayment Notice: (i) repay the Outstanding Principal Amount plus all accrued interest thereon (if any) minus the Principal Amount set forth in the Prepayment Conversion Notice and (ii) issue the applicable Conversion Shares to the Holder in accordance with Article 3. The foregoing notwithstanding, the Maker may not deliver a Prepayment Notice with respect to any Outstanding Principal Amount that is subject to a Conversion Notice delivered by the Holder in accordance with Article 3.

 

(d) Delisting from a Trading Market . If at any time the Common Stock ceases to be listed on a Trading Market, (i) the Holder may deliver a demand for payment to the Company and, if such a demand is delivered, the Company shall, within ten (10) Business Days following receipt of the demand for payment from the Holder, pay all of the Outstanding Principal Amount plus accrued interest thereon (if any) or (ii) the Holder may, at its election, after the six month anniversary of the Issuance Date or earlier if a Registration Statement covering the Conversion Shares has been declared effective, upon notice to the Company in accordance with Section 5.1 , convert all or a portion of the Outstanding Principal Amount plus any accrued interest and the Conversion Price shall be adjusted to the lower of (A) the then-current Conversion Price and (A) eighty percent (80%) of the average of the three (3) lowest daily VWAPs during the twenty (20) Trading Days (as defined below) prior to delivery by the Holder of its notice of conversion pursuant to this Section 1.3(d) .

 

1.4 Payment on Non-Business Days . Whenever any payment to be made shall be due on a day which is not a Business Day, such payment may be due on the next succeeding Business Day.

 

1.5 Transfer . This Note may be transferred or sold, subject to the provisions of Section 5.8 of this Note, or pledged, hypothecated or otherwise granted as security by the Holder.

 

  3  
 

 

1.6 Replacement . Upon receipt of a duly executed and notarized written statement from the Holder with respect to the loss, theft or destruction of this Note (or any replacement hereof), or, in the case of a mutilation of this Note, upon surrender and cancellation of such Note, the Maker shall issue a new Note, of like tenor and amount, in lieu of such lost, stolen, destroyed or mutilated Note.

 

1.7 Use of Proceeds . The Maker shall use the proceeds of this Note as set forth in the Purchase Agreement.

 

1.8 Status of Note and Security Interest . The security interest of the Holder and the obligations of the Maker under this Note relating thereto shall be junior and expressly made subject and subordinate to (a) the security interest held by Sallyport Commercial Finance, LLC (“ Sallyport ”) pursuant to that certain Account Sale and Purchase Agreement dated as of May 5, 2017 by and between Sallyport and the Maker (the “ Sallyport Agreement ”), or (b) a security interest held by a single asset-backed lender (which may include a commercial finance company, hedge fund or commercial banking institutions) (a “ Senior Lender ”), in connection with a lending facility, on terms and conditions approved by the Holder (the “ Permitted ABL Facility ”), pursuant to which such Senior Lender may advance up to no more than eight-five percent (85%) of the aggregate amount of the Maker’s accounts receivable and no more than fifty percent (50%) of the aggregate value of the Maker’s finished goods inventory, but in no event have an outstanding balance exceeding Ten Million Dollars ($10,000,000), but such security interest in favor of the Holder shall be senior to any other security interests granted by the Maker to the extent permitted by the Holder. The payment obligations of the Maker hereunder shall be pari passu in respect of all payment obligations owing to Sallyport under the Sallyport Agreement and owing to any Senior Lender under the Permitted ABL Facility and shall be senior to all other Indebtedness and equity of the Company, including Preferred Stock. On the date hereof, Sallyport, the Maker and the Holder are entering into the Sallyport Intercreditor Agreement (as defined in Section 5.1 hereof). In addition, in the event that the Maker shall enter into any Permitted ABL Facility with a Senior Lender prior to the Maturity Date, the Holder of this Note shall execute and deliver an intercreditor agreement among the Maker, the Senior Lender and the Holder of this Note, in form and substance acceptable to such Senior Lender and reasonably acceptable to the Holder evidencing the priority of such Senior Lender’s security interest (the “ Senior Lender Intercreditor Agreement ” and, collectively with the Sallyport Intercreditor Agreement, the “ Intercreditor Agreements ” and each, an “ Intercreditor Agreement ”), with all related legal and documentation costs to be paid by the Maker. Upon any Liquidation Event (as hereinafter defined), the Holder will be entitled to receive, before any distribution or payment is made upon, or set apart with respect to, any Indebtedness of the Maker or any class of capital stock of the Maker, (other than to Sallyport or a Senior Lender pursuant to the express terms of the applicable Intercreditor Agreement), an amount equal to the Outstanding Principal Amount plus all accrued interest thereon (if any). For purposes of this Note, “ Liquidation Event ” means a liquidation pursuant to a filing of a petition for bankruptcy under applicable law or any other insolvency or debtor’s relief, an assignment for the benefit of creditors, or a voluntary or involuntary liquidation, dissolution or winding up of the affairs of the Maker. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the security interest granted in favor of Sallyport under the Sallyport Agreement shall be terminated immediately prior to or in connection with any the Company entering into a Permitted ABL Facility with a Senior Lender as contemplated above.

1.9 Secured Note . The full amount of this Note is secured by the Collateral (as defined in the Security Agreement) identified and described as security therefor in the Security Agreement dated as of March 22, 2019 (the “ Security Agreement ”) by and between the Maker and the Holder.

 

1.10 Tax Treatment . The Maker and the Holder agree that for U.S. federal income tax purposes, and applicable state, local and non-U.S. income tax purposes, this Note is not intended to be, and shall not be, treated as indebtedness. Neither the Maker nor the Holder shall take any contrary position on any tax return, or in any audit, claim, investigation, inquiry or proceeding in respect of Taxes, unless otherwise required pursuant to a final determination within the meaning of Section 1313 of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the “ Code ”), or any analogous provision of applicable state, local or non-U.S. law.

ARTICLE 3

 

3.1 Conversion .

 

(a) Voluntary Conversion . At any time and from time to time, subject to Section 3.3 , this Note shall be convertible (in whole or in part), at the option of the Holder, into such number of fully paid and non-assessable shares of Common Stock as is determined by dividing (x) that portion of the Outstanding Principal Amount plus any accrued interest thereon that the Holder elects to convert by (y) the Conversion Price then in effect on the date on which the Holder delivers a notice of conversion, in substantially the form attached hereto as Exhibit B (the “ Conversion Notice ”), in accordance with Section 5.1 to the Maker. The Holder shall deliver this Note to the Maker at the address designated in the Purchase Agreement at such time that this Note is fully converted. With respect to partial conversions of this Note, the Maker shall keep written records of the amount of this Note converted as of the date of such conversion (each, a “ Conversion Date ”).

 

(b) Mandatory Conversion . Subject to Section 3.3 , at the Maker’s sole option and upon notice by the Maker to the Holder stating the portion of the Outstanding Principal Amount to be converted, for which a calculation of the Conversion Price, as adjusted, and the number of Conversion Shares will be provided by the Holder to the Maker, (i) up to fifty percent (50%) of the Outstanding Principal Amount shall be automatically converted if the daily VWAP is greater than $8.00 for thirty (30) consecutive Trading Days or (ii) one hundred percent (100%) of the Outstanding Principal Amount shall be automatically converted if the daily VWAP is greater than $10.00 for thirty (30) consecutive Trading Days.

 

  8  
 

 

(c) Conversion Price . The “ Conversion Price ” means $4.00, and shall be subject to adjustment as provided herein.

 

(d) Credit towards Repayment . The face value of any portion of this Note that is converted pursuant to Sections 3.1(a) and 3.1(b) shall be credited towards future Monthly Repayments pursuant to Section 1.3(b). For example, if $733,333.33 of the Outstanding Principal Amount is converted, the Maker shall not be obligated to make the Monthly Repayments for the subsequent three months.

 

3.2 Delivery of Conversion Shares . As soon as practicable after any conversion in accordance with this Note and in any event within three (3) Trading Days thereafter (such date, the “ Share Delivery Date ”), the Maker shall, at its expense, cause to be issued in the name of and delivered to the Holder, or as the Holder may direct, a certificate or certificates evidencing the number of fully paid and nonassessable shares of Common Stock to which the Holder shall be entitled on such conversion (the “ Conversion Shares ”), in such denominations as may be requested by the Holder, which certificate or certificates shall be free of restrictive and trading legends (except for any such legends as may be required under the Securities Act). In lieu of delivering physical certificates for the shares of Common Stock issuable upon any conversion of this Note, provided the Company’s transfer agent is participating in the Depository Trust Company (“ DTC ”) Fast Automated Securities Transfer program or a similar program, upon request of the Holder, the Company shall cause its transfer agent to electronically transmit such shares of Common Stock issuable upon conversion of this Note to the Holder (or its designee), by crediting the account of the Holder’s (or such designee’s) broker with DTC through its Deposit Withdrawal Agent Commission system (provided that the same time periods herein as for stock certificates shall apply) as instructed by the Holder (or its designee).

 

  9  
 

 

3.3 Ownership Cap . Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, the Holder shall not be entitled to receive shares representing Equity Interests upon conversion of this Note to the extent (but only to the extent) that such exercise or receipt would cause the Holder Group (as defined below) to become, directly or indirectly, a “beneficial owner” (within the meaning of Section 13(d) of the 1934 Act and the rules and regulations promulgated thereunder) of a number of Equity Interests of a class that is registered under the 1934 Act which exceeds the Maximum Percentage (as defined below) of the Equity Interests of such class that are outstanding at such time. Any purported delivery of Equity Interests in connection with the conversion of this Note prior to the termination of this restriction in accordance herewith shall be void and have no effect to the extent (but only to the extent) that such delivery would result in the Holder Group becoming the beneficial owner of more than the Maximum Percentage of the Equity Interests of a class that is registered under the 1934 Act that is outstanding at such time. If any delivery of Equity Interests owed to the Holder following conversion of this Note is not made, in whole or in part, as a result of this limitation, the Company’s obligation to make such delivery shall not be extinguished and the Company shall deliver such Equity Interests as promptly as practicable after the Holder gives notice to the Company that such delivery would not result in such limitation being triggered or upon termination of the restriction in accordance with the terms hereof. To the extent limitations contained in this Section 3.3 apply, the determination of whether this Note is convertible and of which portion of this Note is convertible shall be the sole responsibility and in the sole determination of the Holder, and the submission of a notice of conversion shall be deemed to constitute the Holder’s determination that the issuance of the full number of Conversion Shares requested in the notice of conversion is permitted hereunder, and the Company shall not have any obligation to verify or confirm the accuracy of such determination. For purposes of this Section 3.3 , (i) the term “ Maximum Percentage ” shall mean 4.99%; provided, that if at any time after the date hereof the Holder Group beneficially owns in excess of 4.99% of any class of Equity Interests in the Company that is registered under the 1934 Act, then the Maximum Percentage shall automatically increase to 9.99% so long as the Holder Group owns in excess of 4.99% of such class of Equity Interests (and shall, for the avoidance of doubt, automatically decrease to 4.99% upon the Holder Group ceasing to own in excess of 4.99% of such class of Equity Interests); and (ii) the term “ Holder Group ” shall mean the Holder plus any other Person with which the Holder is considered to be part of a group under Section 13 of the 1934 Act or with which the Holder otherwise files reports under Sections 13 and/or 16 of the 1934 Act. In determining the number of Equity Interests of a particular class outstanding at any point in time, the Holder may rely on the number of outstanding Equity Interests of such class as reflected in (x) the Company’s most recent Annual Report on Form 10-K or Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission, as the case may be, (y) a more recent public announcement by the Company or (z) a more recent notice by the Company or its transfer agent to the Holder setting forth the number of Equity Interests of such class then outstanding. For any reason at any time, upon written or oral request of the Holder, the Company shall, within one (1) Business Day of such request, confirm orally and in writing to the Holder the number of Equity Interests of any class then outstanding. The provisions of this Section 3.3 shall be construed, corrected and implemented in a manner so as to effectuate the intended beneficial ownership limitation herein contained.

3.4 Adjustment of Conversion Price .

 

(a) Until the Note has been paid in full or converted in full, the Conversion Price shall be subject to adjustment from time to time as follows (but shall not be increased, other than pursuant to Section 3.4(a)(i) hereof):

 

(i) Adjustments for Stock Splits and Combinations . If the Maker shall at any time or from time to time after the Closing Date (but whether before or after the Issuance Date) effect a split of the outstanding Common Stock, the applicable Conversion Price in effect immediately prior to the stock split shall be proportionately decreased. If the Maker shall at any time or from time to time after the Closing Date (but whether before or after the Issuance Date), combine the outstanding shares of Common Stock, the applicable Conversion Price in effect immediately prior to the combination shall be proportionately increased. Any adjustments under this Section 3.4(a)(i) shall be effective at the close of business on the date the stock split or combination occurs.

 

(ii) Adjustments for Certain Dividends and Distributions . If the Maker shall at any time or from time to time after the Closing Date (but whether before or after the Issuance Date) make or issue or set a record date for the determination of holders of Common Stock entitled to receive a dividend or other distribution payable in shares of Common Stock, then, and in each event, the applicable Conversion Price in effect immediately prior to such event shall be decreased as of the time of such issuance or, in the event such record date shall have been fixed, as of the close of business on such record date, by multiplying the applicable Conversion Price then in effect by a fraction:

 

(1) the numerator of which shall be the total number of shares of Common Stock issued and outstanding immediately prior to the time of such issuance or the close of business on such record date; and

 

(2) the denominator of which shall be the total number of shares of Common Stock issued and outstanding immediately prior to the time of such issuance or the close of business on such record date plus the number of shares of Common Stock issuable in payment of such dividend or distribution.

 

(iii) Adjustment for Other Dividends and Distributions . If the Maker shall at any time or from time to time after the Closing Date (but whether before or after the Issuance Date) make or issue or set a record date for the determination of holders of Common Stock entitled to receive a dividend or other distribution payable in other than shares of Common Stock, then, and in each event, an appropriate revision to the applicable Conversion Price shall be made and provision shall be made (by adjustments of the Conversion Price or otherwise) so that the Holder of this Note shall receive upon conversions thereof, in addition to the number of shares of Common Stock receivable thereon, the number of securities of the Maker or other issuer (as applicable) or other property that it would have received had this Note been converted into Common Stock in full (without regard to any conversion limitations herein) on the date of such event and had thereafter, during the period from the date of such event to and including the Conversion Date, retained such securities (together with any distributions payable thereon during such period) or assets, giving application to all adjustments called for during such period under this Section 3.4(a)(iii) with respect to the rights of the holders of this Note; provided, however , that if such record date shall have been fixed and such dividend is not fully paid or if such distribution is not fully made on the date fixed therefor, the Conversion Price shall be adjusted pursuant to this paragraph as of the time of actual payment of such dividends or distributions.

 

(iv) Adjustments for Reclassification, Exchange or Substitution . If the Common Stock at any time or from time to time after the Closing Date (but whether before or after the Issuance Date) shall be changed to the same or different number of shares or other securities of any class or classes of stock or other property, whether by reclassification, exchange, substitution or otherwise (other than by way of a stock split or combination of shares or stock dividends provided for in Sections 3.4(a)(i), (ii) and (iii) hereof, or a reorganization, merger, consolidation, or sale of assets provided for in Section 3.4(a)(v) hereof), then, and in each event, an appropriate revision to the Conversion Price shall be made and provisions shall be made (by adjustments of the Conversion Price or otherwise) so that the Holder shall have the right thereafter to convert this Note into the kind and amount of shares of stock or other securities or other property receivable upon reclassification, exchange, substitution or other change, by holders of the number of shares of Common Stock into which such Note might have been converted immediately prior to such reclassification, exchange, substitution or other change, all subject to further adjustment as provided herein.

 

  11  
 

 

(v) Adjustments for Issuance of Additional Shares of Common Stock . In the event the Maker shall at any time or from time to time after the Closing Date (but whether before or after the Issuance Date) issue or sell any additional shares of Common Stock (“ Additional Shares of Common Stock ”), other than (A) as provided in this Note (including the foregoing subsections (i) through (iv) of this Section 3.4(a) ), pursuant to any Equity Plan (including pursuant to Common Stock Equivalents granted or issued under any Equity Plan), (B) pursuant to Common Stock Equivalents granted or issued prior to the Closing Date, or (C) Exempted Securities, in any case, at an effective price per share that is less than the Conversion Price then in effect or without consideration, then the Conversion Price upon each such issuance shall be reduced to a price equal to the consideration per share paid for such Additional Shares of Common Stock. For purposes of clarification, the amount of consideration received for such Additional Shares of Common Stock shall not include the value of any additional securities or other rights received in connection with such issuance of Additional Shares of Common Stock (i.e. warrants, rights of first refusal or other similar rights).

 

(vi) Issuance, Amendment or Adjustment of Common Stock Equivalents . Except for Exempted Securities, if (x) the Maker, at any time after the Closing Date (but whether before or after the Issuance Date), shall issue any securities convertible into or exercisable or exchangeable for, directly or indirectly, Common Stock (“ Convertible Securities ”), or any rights or warrants or options to purchase any such Common Stock or Convertible Securities, other than Common Stock Equivalents granted or issued under any Equity Plan (collectively with the Convertible Securities, the “ Common Stock Equivalents ”) and the price per share for which shares of Common Stock may be issuable pursuant to any such Common Stock Equivalent shall be less than the applicable Conversion Price then in effect, or (y) the price per share for which shares of Common Stock may be issuable under any Common Stock Equivalents is amended or adjusted, pursuant to the terms of such Common Stock Equivalents or otherwise, and such price as so amended or adjusted shall be less than the applicable Conversion Price in effect at the time of such amendment or adjustment, then, in each such case (x) or (y), the applicable Conversion Price upon each such issuance or amendment or adjustment shall be adjusted as provided in subsection (vi) of this Section 3.4(a) as if the maximum number of shares of Common Stock issuable upon conversion, exercise or exchange of such Common Stock Equivalents had been issued on the date of such issuance or amendment or adjustment.

 

(vii) Consideration for Stock . In case any shares of Common Stock or any Common Stock Equivalents shall be issued or sold:

 

(1) in connection with any merger or consolidation in which the Maker is the surviving corporation (other than any consolidation or merger in which the previously outstanding shares of Common Stock of the Maker shall be changed to or exchanged for the stock or other securities of another corporation), the amount of consideration therefor shall be, deemed to be the fair value, as determined reasonably and in good faith by the Board of Directors of the Maker and approved by the Holder, of such portion of the assets and business of the nonsurviving corporation as such Board of Directors may determine to be attributable to such shares of Common Stock, Convertible Securities, rights or warrants or options, as the case may be; or

 

  12  
 

 

(2) in the event of any consolidation or merger of the Maker in which the Maker is not the surviving corporation or in which the previously outstanding shares of Common Stock of the Maker shall be changed into or exchanged for the stock or other securities of another corporation or other property, or in the event of any sale of all or substantially all of the assets of the Maker for stock or other securities or other property of any corporation, the Maker shall be deemed to have issued shares of its Common Stock, at a price per share equal to the valuation of the Maker’s Common Stock based on the actual exchange ratio on which the transaction was predicated, as applicable, and the fair market value on the date of such transaction of all such stock or securities or other property of the other corporation. If any such calculation results in adjustment of the applicable Conversion Price, or the number of shares of Common Stock issuable upon conversion of the Note, the determination of the applicable Conversion Price or the number of shares of Common Stock issuable upon conversion of the Note immediately prior to such merger, consolidation or sale, shall be made after giving effect to such adjustment of the number of shares of Common Stock issuable upon conversion of the Note. In the event Common Stock is issued with other shares or securities or other assets of the Maker for consideration which covers both, the consideration computed as provided in this Section 3.4(a)(vii) shall be allocated among such securities and assets as determined in good faith by the Board of Directors of the Maker, and approved by the Holder.

 

(b) Record Date . In case the Maker shall take record of the holders of its Common Stock for the purpose of entitling them to subscribe for or purchase Common Stock or Convertible Securities, then the date of the issue or sale of the shares of Common Stock shall be deemed to be such record date.

 

(c) No Impairment . The Maker shall not, by amendment of its Articles of Incorporation or through any reorganization, transfer of assets, consolidation, merger, dissolution, issue or sale of securities or any other voluntary action, avoid or seek to avoid the observance or performance of any of the terms to be observed or performed hereunder by the Maker, but will at all times in good faith assist in the carrying out of all the provisions of this Section 3.4 and in the taking of all such action as may be necessary or appropriate in order to protect the conversion rights of the Holder against impairment. In the event the Holder shall elect to convert this Note as provided herein, the Maker cannot refuse conversion based on any claim that the Holder or anyone associated or affiliated with the Holder has been engaged in any violation of law, violation of an agreement to which the Holder is a party or for any reason whatsoever, unless, an injunction from a court, or notice, restraining and or adjoining conversion of this Note shall have issued and the Maker posts a surety bond for the benefit of the Holder in an amount equal to one hundred fifty percent (150%) of the Principal Amount of the Note plus any accrued interest the Holder has elected to convert, which bond shall remain in effect until the completion of arbitration/litigation of the dispute and the proceeds of which shall be payable to the Holder (as liquidated damages) in the event it obtains judgment.

 

  13  
 

 

(d) Certificates as to Adjustments . Upon occurrence of each adjustment or readjustment of the Conversion Price or number of shares of Common Stock issuable upon conversion of this Note pursuant to this Section 3.4 , the Maker at its expense shall promptly compute such adjustment or readjustment in accordance with the terms hereof and furnish to the Holder a certificate setting forth such adjustment and readjustment, showing in detail the facts upon which such adjustment or readjustment is based. The Maker shall, upon written request of the Holder, at any time, furnish or cause to be furnished to the Holder a like certificate setting forth such adjustments and readjustments, the applicable Conversion Price in effect at the time, and the number of shares of Common Stock and the amount, if any, of other securities or property which at the time would be received upon the conversion of this Note. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Maker shall not be obligated to deliver a certificate unless such certificate would reflect an increase or decrease of at least one percent (1%) of such adjusted amount.

 

(e) Issue Taxes . The Maker shall pay any and all issue and other taxes, excluding federal, state or local income taxes, that may be payable in respect of any issue or delivery of shares of Common Stock on conversion of this Note pursuant thereto; provided, however , that the Maker shall not be obligated to pay any transfer taxes resulting from any transfer requested by the Holder in connection with any such conversion.

 

(f) Fractional Shares . No fractional shares of Common Stock shall be issued upon conversion of this Note. In lieu of any fractional shares to which the Holder would otherwise be entitled, the Maker shall pay cash equal such fractional shares multiplied by the Conversion Price then in effect.

 

(g) Reservation of Common Stock . The Maker shall at all while this Note shall be outstanding, reserve and keep available out of its authorized but unissued Common Stock, such number of shares of Common Stock as shall from time to time be sufficient to effect the conversion of this Note (disregarding for this purpose any and all limitations of any kind on such conversion). The Maker shall, from time to time, increase the authorized number of shares of Common Stock or take other effective action if at any time the unissued number of authorized shares shall not be sufficient to satisfy the Maker’s obligations under this Section 3.4(g) .

 

(h) Regulatory Compliance . If any shares of Common Stock to be reserved for the purpose of conversion of this Note require registration or listing with or approval of any governmental authority, stock exchange or other regulatory body under any federal or state law or regulation or otherwise before such shares may be validly issued or delivered upon conversion, the Maker shall, at its sole cost and expense, in good faith and as expeditiously as possible, secure such registration, listing or approval, as the case may be.

 

(i) Effect of Events Prior to the Issuance Date . If the Issuance Date of this Note is after the Closing Date, then, if the Conversion Price or any other right of the Holder of this Note would have been adjusted or modified by operation of any provision of this Note had this Note been issued on the Closing Date, such adjustment or modification shall be deemed to apply to this Note as of the Issuance Date as if this Note had been issued on the Closing Date.

 

  14  
 

 

3.5 Prepayment Following an Event of Default .

 

(a) Prepayment Upon an Event of Default . Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, following the occurrence of an Event of Default, the Holder shall have the right, at the Holder’s option to require the Maker to prepay all or a portion of this Note in cash at a price equal to the sum of one hundred five percent (105%) of the Outstanding Principal Amount plus all accrued interest thereon (if any) (the “ Cash Repayment Price ”).

 

(b) Mechanics of Prepayment at Option of Holder in Connection with a Change of Control . No sooner than fifteen (15) days prior to entry into an agreement for a Change of Control nor later than ten (10) days prior to the consummation of a Change of Control, but not prior to the public announcement of such Change of Control, the Maker shall deliver written notice (“ Notice of Change of Control ”) to the Holder. At any time after receipt of a Notice of Change of Control (or, in the event a Notice of Change of Control is not delivered at least ten (10) days prior to a Change of Control, at any time within ten (10) days prior to a Change of Control), the Holder may require the Maker to prepay, effective immediately prior to the consummation of such Change of Control, an amount equal to 105% of the Outstanding Principal Amount plus all accrued interest thereon (if any), by delivering written notice thereof (“ Notice of Prepayment at Option of Holder Upon Change of Control ”) to the Maker, which Notice of Prepayment at Option of Holder Upon Change of Control shall indicate the Principal Amount of the Note and any accrued interest thereon that the Holder is electing to have prepaid, at the Cash Repayment Price.

 

(c) Payment of Cash Repayment Price . Upon the Maker’s receipt of a Notice(s) of Prepayment at Option of Holder Upon Event of Default or a Notice(s) of Prepayment at Option of Holder Upon Change of Control from the Holder, the Maker shall deliver the Cash Repayment Price to the holder within five (5) Business Days after the Maker’s receipt of a Notice of Prepayment at Option of Holder Upon Event of Default and, in the case of a prepayment pursuant to Section 3.5(b) hereof, the Maker shall deliver the applicable Cash Repayment Price immediately prior to the consummation of the Change of Control; provided that the Holder’s original Note shall have been so delivered to the Maker.

 

3.6 Inability to Fully Convert .

 

(a) Holder’s Option if Maker Cannot Fully Convert . If, upon the Maker’s receipt of a Conversion Notice or as otherwise required under this Note, the Maker cannot issue shares of Common Stock for any reason, including, without limitation, because the Maker (x) does not have a sufficient number of shares of Common Stock authorized and available or (y) is otherwise prohibited by applicable law or by the rules or regulations of any stock exchange, interdealer quotation system or other self-regulatory organization with jurisdiction over the Maker or any of its securities from issuing all of the Common Stock which is to be issued to the Holder pursuant to this Note, then the Maker shall issue as many shares of Common Stock as it is able to issue and, with respect to the unconverted portion of this Note or with respect to any shares of Common Stock not timely issued in accordance with this Note, the Holder, solely at Holder’s option, can elect to:

 

(i) require the Maker to prepay that portion of this Note for which the Maker is unable to issue Common Stock or for which shares of Common Stock were not timely issued (the “ Mandatory Prepayment ”) at a price equal to the number of shares of Common Stock that the Maker is unable to issue multiplied by the VWAP on the date of conversion;

 

  15  
 

 

(ii) void its Conversion Notice and retain or have returned, as the case may be, this Note that was to be converted pursuant to the Conversion Notice (provided that the Holder’s voiding its Conversion Notice shall not affect the Maker’s obligations to make any payments which have accrued prior to the date of such notice); or

 

(iii) defer issuance of the applicable Conversion Shares until such time as the Maker can legally issue such shares; provided, that if the Holder elects to defer the issuance of the Conversion Shares, it may exercise its rights under either clause (i) or (ii) above at any time prior to the issuance of the Conversion Shares upon two (2) Business Days notice to the Maker.

 

(b) Mechanics of Fulfilling Holder’s Election . The Maker shall immediately send to the Holder, upon receipt of a Conversion Notice from the Holder, which cannot be fully satisfied as described in Section 3.6(a) above, a notice of the Maker’s inability to fully satisfy the Conversion Notice (the “ Inability to Fully Convert Notice ”). Such Inability to Fully Convert Notice shall indicate (i) the reason why the Maker is unable to fully satisfy the Holder’s Conversion Notice; and (ii) the amount of this Note which cannot be converted. The Holder shall notify the Maker of its election pursuant to Section 3.6(a) above by delivering written notice to the Maker (“ Notice in Response to Inability to Convert ”).

 

(c) Payment of Cash Repayment Price . If the Holder shall elect to have its Note prepaid pursuant to Section 3.6(a)(i) above, the Maker shall pay the Cash Repayment Price to the Holder within five (5) Business Days of the Maker’s receipt of the Holder’s Notice in Response to Inability to Convert; provided that prior to the Maker’s receipt of the Holder’s Notice in Response to Inability to Convert the Maker has not delivered a notice to the Holder stating, to the satisfaction of the Holder, that the event or condition resulting in the Mandatory Prepayment has been cured and all Conversion Shares issuable to the Holder can and will be delivered to the Holder in accordance with the terms of this Note. If the Maker shall fail to pay the applicable Cash Repayment Price to the Holder on the date that is one (1) Business Day following the Maker’s receipt of the Holder’s Notice in Response to Inability to Convert, in addition to any remedy the Holder may have under this Note and the Purchase Agreement, such unpaid amount shall bear interest at the rate of two percent (2%) per month (prorated for partial months) until paid in full. Until the full Cash Repayment Price is paid in full to the Holder, the Holder may (i) void the Mandatory Prepayment with respect to that portion of the Note for which the full Cash Repayment Price has not been paid and (ii) receive back such Note.

 

(d) No Rights as Stockholder . Nothing contained in this Note shall be construed as conferring upon the Holder, prior to the conversion of this Note, the right to vote or to receive dividends or to consent or to receive notice as a stockholder in respect of any meeting of stockholders for the election of directors of the Maker or of any other matter, or any other rights as a stockholder of the Maker.

4.4 Non-Lienable Assets .

Until the Payment in Full of First Lien Priority Debt occurs, the Second Lien Creditor hereby appoints the First Lien Creditor, and any officer or agent of the First Lien Creditor, with full power of substitution, the attorney-in-fact of each Second Lien Claimholder for the limited purpose of carrying out the provisions of this Section 4.4 and taking any action and executing any instrument that the First Lien Creditor may reasonably deem necessary or advisable to accomplish the purposes of this Section 4.4 , which appointment is irrevocable and coupled with an interest.

If such Cash Collateral use or DIP Financing, as applicable, meets some, but not all, of the applicable DIP Financing Conditions, then Second Lien Creditor unconditionally agrees that it will only withhold its consent to such Cash Collateral use or will only raise an objection to such DIP Financing based upon the DIP Financing Condition(s) which are not met and will not withhold its consent or object on any other basis (other than objections to the failure to grant adequate protection that Second Lien Creditor is permitted to seek under Section 6.5 in connection therewith) and, if DIP Financing is involved and any permitted objection of Second Lien Creditor is withdrawn, overruled, or otherwise eliminated, Second Lien Creditor will subordinate its Liens in the Collateral (and in any other assets of the Debtor that may serve as collateral (including avoidance actions, or the proceeds thereof) for such DIP Financing) to the Liens securing such DIP Financing.

The foregoing to the contrary notwithstanding, the Second Lien Claimholders may raise any objections to such Disposition of the Collateral that could be raised by a creditor of the Debtor whose claims are not secured by Liens on such Collateral, provided such objections are not inconsistent with any other term or provision of this Agreement and are not based on their status as secured creditors (without limiting the foregoing, Second Lien Creditors may not raise any objections based on rights afforded by Sections 363(e) and (f) of the Bankruptcy Code to secured creditors (or any comparable provision of any other Bankruptcy Law) with respect to the Liens granted to Second Lien Creditor in respect of such assets).

If any First Lien Claimholder is required in any Insolvency Proceeding or otherwise to turn over, disgorge, or otherwise pay to the estate of the Debtor any amount paid in respect of First Lien Debt (or if any First Lien Claimholder elects to do so upon the advice of counsel in connection with the settlement of any claims for turn over or disgorgement) (a “ Recovery ”), then such First Lien Claimholder shall be entitled to a reinstatement of the First Lien Debt with respect to all such amounts, and all rights, interests, priorities, and privileges recognized in this Agreement shall apply with respect to any such Recovery. If this Agreement shall have been terminated prior to such Recovery, this Agreement shall be reinstated in full force and effect, and such prior termination shall not diminish, release, discharge, impair, or otherwise affect the obligations of the parties hereto from such date of reinstatement and, to the extent the First Lien Cap was decreased in connection with such payment of the First Lien Debt, the First Lien Cap shall be increased to such extent.

6.9 Plan of Reorganization .

 

(a) If, in any Insolvency Proceeding involving the Debtor, debt obligations of the reorganized debtor secured by Liens upon any property of the reorganized debtor are distributed pursuant to a confirmed plan of reorganization or similar dispositive restructuring plan, both on account of First Lien Debt and on account of Second Lien Debt, then, to the extent the debt obligations distributed on account of the First Lien Debt and on account of the Second Lien Debt are secured by Liens upon the same property, the provisions of this Agreement will survive the distribution of such debt obligations pursuant to such plan and will apply with like effect to the Liens securing such debt obligations.

 

(b) The provisions of Section 1129(b)(1) of the Bankruptcy Code notwithstanding, the Second Lien Claimholders agree that they will not propose, support, or vote in favor of any plan of reorganization of the Debtor that is inconsistent with the priorities set forth in Section 2.1 and Section 4.1 of this Agreement.

 

(c) If, in connection with an Insolvency Proceeding involving the Debtor, the Second Lien Claimholders receive any cash, debt, or equity securities on account of Second Lien Secured Claims (other than Permitted Reorganization Securities), the Second Lien Creditor or the other Second Lien Claimholders, as applicable, shall turnover such cash, claims, or securities to First Lien Creditor for application in accordance with Section 4.1 (and subject to the proviso to Section 4.1 ), unless such distribution is made under a confirmed plan of reorganization of the Debtor that is accepted by the requisite affirmative vote of all classes composed of the secured claims of First Lien Claimholders. Second Lien Creditor irrevocably authorizes and empowers First Lien Creditor, in the name of each Second Lien Claimholder, to demand, sue for, collect, and receive any and all such distributions in respect of any Second Lien Secured Claim to which the First Lien Claimholders are entitled hereunder. In furtherance of the foregoing, First Lien Creditor is hereby authorized to make any such endorsements as agent for Second Lien Creditor or any such Second Lien Claimholders. This authorization is coupled with an interest and is irrevocable until the Payment in Full of First Lien Priority Debt.

The proceeds from the investment will provide us the needed capital to execute our aggressive growth strategy and bridge our operations to positive cash flow,” said Mark Elliott, Chief Executive Officer of Boxlight. “This investment will improve our net current asset position, allow us to increase our inventory levels in the U.S. and Europe, and provide the capital needed to complete the market launch of several new products including our MyBot coding and robotics solution.”

 

“We are impressed with the depth of the Boxlight leadership team and their innovative, comprehensive product suite for the education market,” said Phillip Valliere, Managing Director at The Lind Partners. “Boxlight has demonstrated a track record of significant revenue growth and product innovation. The Company’s ability to win large, competitive contracts, including Clayton County, Georgia and Beaufort County, South Carolina, is further evidence that Boxlight has the potential to become a leader in education technology for the K-12 market.”

 

The Investment is in the form of a $4,400,000 convertible note with a 24-month maturity and a fixed conversion price of $4.00 per share of Company Class A voting common stock. A total of $4,000,000 will be funded under the note. The Company is required to make monthly interest payments at the rate of 8 percent per annum on the unpaid principal amount of the note, and principal payments in 18 equal monthly installments of $244,444.44 each, commencing six months after closing. So long as the shares of Company Class A common stock to be issued pursuant to the note are registered for resale under the Securities Act or may be sold without restriction on the number of shares or manner of sale, the Company has the right to make principal and interest payments in the form of shares of Class A common stock. The principal installment payments are subject to reduction in any month by any amounts converted by the Investor into the Company’s Class A common stock.

 

The Company has the right to prepay the convertible note at any time with no penalty (the “Buy-Back Right”). Should the Company exercise its Buy-Back Right, the Investor will have the option of converting 25 percent of the outstanding $4,400,000 face value amount into shares of Company Class A common stock.
