Item 1.01. Entry into a Material Definitive Agreement.
On May 13, 2019 (the “Issue Date”), Orbital Tracking Corp. (the “Company”) entered into a Note Purchase Agreement (the “NPA”) by and among the Company and the lenders set forth on the lender schedule to the NPA (the “Lenders”), as amended by that certain Amendment to Note Purchase Agreement (the “Amendment,” and, together with the NPA, the “Agreement”) by and among the Company and the Lenders. Pursuant to the NPA, the Company issued sold an aggregate principal amount of $650,000 of its convertible promissory notes. Pursuant to the Amendment, the Company reserved the right to issue and issued an additional 20% of the $650,000 principal amount of its convertible promissory notes or $130,000 of its convertible promissory notes. In total, pursuant to the Agreement, the Company issued an aggregate principal amount of $805,000 of its convertible promissory notes (the “Notes”). This Current Report on Form 8-K does not constitute an offer to sell or the solicitation of an offer to buy the Notes.
The Notes bear interest at a rate of 6% per annum, simple interest, and mature on the third anniversary of the Issue Date (the “Maturity Date”), to the extent that the Notes and the principal amounts and any interest accrued thereunder (the “Indebtedness”) have not been converted into shares of common stock of the Company (“Common Stock”). Interest on the Notes will accrue on a simple interest, non-compounded basis and will be added to the principal amounts on the Maturity Date or such earlier date as may be due upon an Event of Default (as defined below), at which time all Indebtedness will be due and payable, unless earlier converted into Conversion Shares (as defined below). In the event that any amount due under the Notes is not paid as and when due, such amounts will accrue interest at the rate of 12% per year, simple interest, non-compounding, until paid. The Company may not pre-pay or redeem the Notes other than as required by the Agreement.
The Notes are general, unsecured obligations of the Company.
The proceeds of the Notes will be used to repay certain outstanding indebtedness of the Company and for general corporate purposes.
The holders of the Notes (the “Holders”) have an optional right of conversion. A Holder may elect to convert its Note, and all of the Indebtedness outstanding as of such time, into the number of fully paid and non-assessable shares of Common Stock (the “Conversion Shares”) as determined by dividing the Indebtedness by $0.10, subject to certain adjustments, but excluding adjustment for a reserve stock split of no more than 1:20 contemplated by the Company at the Issue Date. The optional right of conversion is subject to a beneficial ownership limitation of 4.99% of the number of shares of Common Stock outstanding immediately after giving effect to the issuance of shares of Common Stock issuable upon conversion.
The Agreement contains customary representations and warranties and customary affirmative and negative covenants. These covenants include, among other things, certain limitations on the ability of the Company to: (i) pay dividends on its capital stock; (ii) make distributions in respect of its capital stock; (iii) acquire shares of capital stock; and, (iv) sell, lease or dispose of assets.
Pursuant to the Agreement, the Holders are granted demand registration rights and pre-emptive rights as set forth in the Agreement.
The Agreement includes customary events of default, including, among others: (i) non-payment of amounts due thereunder, (ii) non-compliance with covenants thereunder, (iii) bankruptcy or insolvency (each, an “Event of Default”). Upon the occurrence of an Event of Default, a majority of the Holders may accelerate the maturity of the Indebtedness.
The foregoing description of the NPA and the Amendment is qualified in its entirety by reference to the full text of such agreements and all exhibits thereto, which are filed as Exhibit 10.1 and Exhibit 10.2, respectively, to this Current Report on Form 8-K and incorporated herein by reference.
On May 13, 2019, the Company entered into two consulting agreements (each, a “Consulting Agreement” and together, the “Consulting Agreements”) with unrelated third parties to provide capital raising advisory services and business growth and development services, each for a term of six months. In exchange for such services, each consultant will receive (i) a Note in the amount of $44,000 issued pursuant to the Agreement, (ii) a Note in the amount of $12,500 with a maturity of three years bearing interest at a rate of 6% per annum with an optional right of conversion, (iii) payment of a retainer ranging from $10,000 to $30,000, and (iv) monthly payments ranging from $5,000 to $10,000 for six months.
The foregoing description of the Consulting Agreements is qualified in its entirety by reference to the full text of the form of Consulting Agreement, which is filed as Exhibit 10.3 to this Current Report on Form 8-K and incorporated herein by reference.
Item 3.02. Unregistered Sales of Equity Securities.
The Company’s issuance of the Notes and the issuance of Company common stock in the event of any future exercise of the optional right of conversion is exempt from registration under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”) in reliance on Section 4(a)(2) of the Securities Act as a transaction by an issuer not involving a public offering. The information disclosed in Item 1.01 of this Current Report on Form 8-K is incorporated by reference into this Item 3.02.

PIGGYBACK REGISTRATION RIGHTS
Section 7.1 Definitions . The shares of the Company’s Common Stock issued upon conversion of the Notes will be deemed “Registrable Securities” subject to the provisions of this Article VII.
Section 7.2 Piggy-Back Registration Rights . If at any time on or after the date which a Lender has converted any of its Notes into Registrable Securities, and provided that such Lender continues to hold such Registrable Securities at such time, the Company proposes to file any registration statement under the Securities Act (a “Registration Statement”) with respect to any offering of equity securities, or securities or other obligations exercisable or exchangeable for, or convertible into, equity securities, by the Company for its own account or for shareholders of the Company for their account (or by the Company and by shareholders of the Company), other than a Registration Statement (i) filed in connection with any employee stock option or other benefit plan, (ii) for a dividend reinvestment plan or (iii) in connection with a merger or acquisition, then the Company shall (x) give written notice of such proposed filing to the applicable Lender as soon as practicable but in no event less than ten (10) days before the anticipated filing date of the Registration Statement, which notice shall describe the amount and type of securities to be included in such Registration Statement, the intended method(s) of distribution, and the name of the proposed managing underwriter or underwriters, if any, of the offering, and (y) offer to applicable Lender in such notice the opportunity to register the sale of such number of Registrable Securities as such applicable Lender may request in writing within five (5) days following receipt of such notice (a “Piggy-Back Registration”). The Company shall cause such Registrable Securities to be included in such registration and shall cause the managing underwriter or underwriters of a proposed underwritten offering to permit the Registrable Securities requested to be included in a Piggy-Back Registration on the same terms and conditions as any similar securities of the Company and to permit the sale or other disposition of such Registrable Securities in accordance with the intended method(s) of distribution thereof. If such applicable Lender proposes to distribute its Registrable Securities through a Piggy-Back Registration that involves an underwriter or underwriters, then it shall enter into an underwriting agreement in customary form with the underwriter or underwriters selected for such Piggy-Back Registration.
13 |
Section 7.3 Limitations . If a Piggyback Registration is initiated as a primary underwritten offering on behalf of the Company and the managing underwriter advises the Company and the holders of Registrable Securities (if any holders of Registrable Securities have elected to include Registrable Securities in such Piggyback Registration) in writing that in its reasonable and good faith opinion the number of shares of Common Stock proposed to be included in such registration, including all Registrable Securities and all other shares of Common Stock proposed to be included in such underwritten offering, exceeds the number of shares of Common Stock which can be sold in such offering and/or that the number of shares of Common Stock proposed to be included in any such registration or takedown would adversely affect the price per share of the Common Stock to be sold in such offering, the Company shall include in such registration (i) first, the shares of Common Stock that the Company proposes to sell; (ii) second, the shares of Common Stock requested to be included therein by the applicable Lender; and (iii) third, the shares of Common Stock requested to be included therein by holders of Common Stock other than holders of Registrable Securities, allocated among such holders in such manner as they may agree.
Section 7.4 Withdrawal . A Lender may elect to withdraw such applicable Lender’s request for inclusion of Registrable Securities in any Piggy-Back Registration by giving written notice to the Company of such request to withdraw prior to the effectiveness of the Registration Statement.

Notwithstanding any such withdrawal, the Company shall pay all expenses incurred by each applicable Lender of Registrable Securities in connection with such Piggy-Back Registration as provided in Section 7.7.
Section 7.5 Notification . The Company shall notify each holder of Registrable Securities at any time when a prospectus relating to such applicable Lender’s Registrable Securities is required to be delivered under the Securities Act, upon discovery that, or upon the happening of any event as a result of which, the prospectus included in such Registration Statement, as then in effect, includes an untrue statement of a material fact or omits to state any material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein not misleading in light of the circumstances then existing. At the request of the applicable Lender, the Company shall also prepare, file and furnish to the applicable Lender a reasonable number of copies of a supplement to or an amendment of such prospectus as may be necessary so that, as thereafter delivered to the applicable Lender, such prospectus shall not include an untrue statement of a material fact or omit to state a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein not misleading in light of the circumstances then existing. Each applicable Lender shall not offer or sell any Registrable Securities covered by the Registration Statement after receipt of such notification until the receipt of such supplement or amendment.

The Company may request that each applicable Lender furnish the Company such information with respect to such applicable Lender and such applicable Lender’s proposed distribution of the Registrable Securities pursuant to the Registration Statement as the Company may from time to time reasonably request in writing or as shall be required by law or by the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) in connection therewith, and such applicable Lender shall furnish the Company with such information.
Section 7.7 Fees and Expenses . All fees and expenses incident to the performance of or compliance with this Article VII by the Company shall be borne by the Company whether or not any Registrable Securities are sold pursuant to a Registration Statement.

The Company shall notify each applicable Lender promptly of the institution, threat or assertion of any proceeding arising from or in connection with the transactions contemplated by this Article VII of which the Company is aware.
(b) Indemnification by Lender . Each applicable Lender and its successors and assigns shall indemnify and hold harmless the Company, the officers, directors, members, partners, agents and employees (and any other individuals or entities with a functionally equivalent role of a person holding such titles, notwithstanding a lack of such title or any other title) of the Company, each individual or entity who controls the company (within the meaning of Section 15 of the Securities Act or Section 20 of the Exchange Act) and the officers, directors, members, partners, agents and employees (and any other individuals or entities with a functionally equivalent role of a person holding such titles, notwithstanding a lack of such title or any other title) of each such controlling individual or entity (each, a “Company Party”, with a Lender Party and Company Party each being referred to as an “Indemnified Party”), to the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, from and against any and all Losses, as incurred, arising out of or relating to (1) any untrue or alleged untrue statement of a material fact contained in a Registration Statement, any related prospectus or any form of prospectus or in any amendment or supplement thereto or in any preliminary prospectus, or arising out of or relating to any omission or alleged omission of a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein (in the case of any such prospectus or supplement thereto, in light of the circumstances under which they were made) not misleading or (2) any violation or alleged violation by the Company of the Securities Act, the Exchange Act or any state securities law, or any rule or regulation thereunder, in connection with the performance of its obligations under this Article VII, but only to the extent that such untrue statements or omissions are based upon information regarding such applicable Lender furnished to the Company by such party for use therein. Each applicable Lender shall notify the Company promptly of the institution, threat or assertion of any proceeding arising from or in connection with the transactions contemplated by this Article VII of which such applicable Lender is aware.
16 |
(c) Contribution . If the indemnification under Section 7.8(a) or Section 7.8(b), as applicable, is unavailable to an Indemnified Party or insufficient to hold an Indemnified Party harmless for any Losses, then the party responsible for indemnifying the Indemnified Party (the “Indemnifying Party”) shall contribute to the amount paid or payable by such Indemnified Party, in such proportion as is appropriate to reflect the relative fault of the Indemnifying Party and Indemnified Party in connection with the actions, statements or omissions that resulted in such Losses as well as any other relevant equitable considerations. The relative fault of the Indemnifying Party and Indemnified Party shall be determined by reference to, among other things, whether any action in question, including any untrue or alleged untrue statement of a material fact or omission or alleged omission of a material fact, has been taken or made by, or relates to information supplied by, the Indemnifying Party or the Indemnified Party, and the parties’ relative intent, knowledge, access to information and opportunity to correct or prevent such action, statement or omission. The amount paid or payable by a party as a result of any Losses shall be deemed to include any reasonable attorneys’ or other fees or expenses incurred by such party in connection with any proceeding to the extent such party would have been indemnified for such fees or expenses if the indemnification provided for in Section 3(a) was available to such party in accordance with its terms. It is agreed that it would not be just and equitable if contribution pursuant to this Section 7.8(c) were determined by pro rata allocation or by any other method of allocation that does not take into account the equitable considerations referred to in the immediately preceding sentence.
(d) Indemnification Generally . The provisions of this Section 7.8 shall be read, and shall be operative, together with the provisions of Section 10.4. For the avoidance of doubt, this Section 7.8 shall only apply to a Lender who elects to participate in a Piggyback Registration pursuant to this Article VII.

(a) By the Company . The Company will indemnify and hold each Lender Party harmless from any and all Losses that any such Lender Party may suffer or incur as a result of any breach of any of the representations, warranties, covenants or agreements made by the Company in this Agreement. If any action shall be brought against any Lender Party in respect of which indemnity may be sought pursuant to this Agreement, such Lender Party shall promptly notify the Company in writing, and the Company shall have the right to assume the defense thereof with counsel of its own choosing reasonably acceptable to the Lender Party. Any Lender Party shall have the right to employ separate counsel in any such action and participate in the defense thereof, but the fees and expenses of such counsel shall be at the expense of such Lender Party except to the extent that (i) the employment thereof has been specifically authorized by the Company in writing, (ii) the Company has failed after a reasonable period of time to assume such defense and to employ counsel or (iii) in such action there is, in the reasonable opinion of counsel, a material conflict on any material issue between the position of the Company and the position of such Lender Party, in which case the Company shall be responsible for the reasonable fees and expenses of no more than one such separate counsel. The Company shall not settle or compromise any claim for which a Lender Party seeks indemnification hereunder without the prior written consent of such Lender Party and such consent not to be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed, unless such settlement involves a full and complete release of the applicable Lender Party. The indemnification required by this Section 10.4(a) shall be made by periodic payments of the amount thereof during the course of the investigation or defense, as and when bills are received or are incurred, provided, however, that the recipient thereof shall execute a customary undertaking to repay any such amounts in the event that such recipient is ultimately determined not to be entitled to indemnification hereunder.
(b) By Each Lender . Each Lender, severally and not jointly, agrees to indemnify and hold each Company Party harmless from any and all Losses that any such Company Party may suffer or incur as a result of any breach of any of the representations, warranties, covenants or agreements made by such Lender in this Agreement. If any action shall be brought against any Company Party in respect of which indemnity may be sought pursuant to this Agreement, such Company Party shall promptly notify the applicable Lender in writing, and such Lender shall have the right to assume the defense thereof with counsel of its own choosing reasonably acceptable to the Company Party. Any Company Party shall have the right to employ separate counsel in any such action and participate in the defense thereof, but the fees and expenses of such counsel shall be at the expense of such Company Party except to the extent that (i) the employment thereof has been specifically authorized by the applicable Lender in writing, (ii) the applicable Lender has failed after a reasonable period of time to assume such defense and to employ counsel or (iii) in such action there is, in the reasonable opinion of counsel, a material conflict on any material issue between the position of the Company Party and the position of such applicable Lender, in which case the applicable Lender shall be responsible for the reasonable fees and expenses of no more than one such separate counsel. The Lender shall not settle or compromise any claim for which a Company Party seeks indemnification hereunder without the prior written consent of such Company Party and such consent not to be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed, unless such settlement involves a full and complete release of the applicable Company Party. The indemnification required by this Section 10.4(b) shall be made by periodic payments of the amount thereof during the course of the investigation or defense, as and when bills are received or are incurred, provided, however, that the recipient thereof shall execute a customary undertaking to repay any such amounts in the event that such recipient is ultimately determined not to be entitled to indemnification hereunder.

SUCH SECURITIES MAY NOT BE OFFERED FOR SALE, SOLD, DELIVERED AFTER SALE, TRANSFERRED, PLEDGED, OR HYPOTHECATED UNLESS QUALIFIED AND REGISTERED UNDER APPLICABLE STATE AND FEDERAL SECURITIES LAWS OR UNLESS, IN THE OPINION OF COUNSEL REASONABLY SATISFACTORY TO THE COMPANY, SUCH QUALIFICATION AND REGISTRATION ARE NOT REQUIRED. ANY TRANSFER OF THE SECURITIES REPRESENTED BY THIS CERTIFICATE IS FURTHER SUBJECT TO OTHER RESTRICTIONS, TERMS AND CONDITIONS WHICH ARE SET FORTH HEREIN.
Principal Amount: $______________ | Issue Date: ______________, 2019 |
Orbital Tracking Corp.
6% CONVERTIBLE PROMISSORY NOTE
FOR VALUE RECEIVED , pursuant to the terms and conditions of this Convertible Promissory Note (this “Note”), Orbital Tracking Corp., a Nevada corporation (the “Company”), hereby promises to pay to the order of _______________________, or registered assigns (the “Holder”), on the third anniversary of the Issue Date as set forth above or earlier as required pursuant to the Agreement, as defined below (as applicable, the “Maturity Date”), $__________________ (the “Principal Amount”), and to pay interest on the outstanding Principal Amount at the rate of six percent (6%) per annum, simple interest, in each case to the extent that this Note and the Principal Amount and any accrued interest hereunder (the “Indebtedness”) has not been converted into Shares (as defined below) prior to the Maturity Date. Interest shall commence accruing on the date hereof (the “Issue Date”), computed on the basis of a 365-day year and the actual number of days elapsed, and shall be payable as set forth herein.
This Note is entered into pursuant to a Note Purchase Agreement by and between the Company and the Holder (the “Agreement”) and is subject to the terms and conditions thereof. This Note will rank senior in right of payment to the Company’s capital stock. This Note is not a certificate of deposit or similar obligation of, and is not guaranteed or insured by, any depository institution, the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation, the Securities Investor Protection Corporation or any other governmental or private fund or entity.
The following terms shall apply to this Note:
Section 1. Definitions . Defined terms used herein without definition have the meanings given them in the Agreement. In addition, for the purposes hereof, “Shares” means shares of Common Stock of the Company.
1 |
Section 2 . Interest; Late Fees; Prepayment; Default .
(a) Interest on this Note shall accrue on a simple interest, non-compounded basis, and shall be added to the Principal Amount on the Maturity Date or such earlier date as the Indebtedness may be due hereunder pursuant to Section 2(b), at which time all Indebtedness shall be due and payable, unless earlier converted into Conversion Shares (as defined below). In the event that any amount due hereunder is not paid as and when due, such amounts shall accrue interest at the rate of 12% per year, simple interest, non-compounding, until paid. The Company may not pre-pay or redeem this Note other than as required herein or by the Agreement.
(b) Upon the declaration by the Majority Lenders of an Event of Default pursuant to the Agreement, and notice by the Majority Lenders to the Company as required by the Agreement, the Indebtedness shall be immediately due and payable in full.
(c) Whenever any payment or other obligation hereunder shall be due on a day other than a Business Day, such payment shall be made on the next succeeding Business Day.
Section 3. Conversion .
(a) Optional Conversion . Subject to the terms and conditions herein, at any time following the Issue Date, the Holder may elect to convert this Note and all, but only all, of the Indebtedness outstanding as of such time into such number of fully paid and non-assessable Shares (the “Conversion Shares”) as is determined by dividing the Indebtedness by $0.10 (the “Conversion Price”).
(b) Adjustments . The Conversion Price shall be subject to proportional and equitable adjustments following the Issue Date for splits, combinations or dividends relating to the Shares, or combinations, recapitalization, reclassifications, extraordinary distributions and similar events that occur on or after the Issue Date, provided, however, that there shall be no adjustment with respect to, or as a result of, the currently contemplated reverse split of the Common Stock as set forth in the Agreement, provided that such reverse split is consummated within 12 months of the date of the sale of the first of the Notes sold pursuant to the Agreement and is consummated at a ratio of no more than 1:20 (wherein each 20 shares of Common Stock are converted into one share of Common Stock) (the “First Split”). By way of example and not limitation, in the event of forward split of the Common Stock following the Issue Date in which each share of Common Stock is converted into two shares of Common Stock, the Exercise Price shall be reduced to $0.05, and in the event of a reverse split (other than the First Split) of the Common Stock following the Issue Date in which each two shares of Common Stock are converted into one share of Common Stock, the Exercise Price shall be increased to $0.20. Any fractional Shares resulting from any conversion hereunder may be issued as such fractional Shares, may be paid in cash or may be rounded up to the next nearest Share, in each case at the election of the Company. In the event that, prior to any conversion hereunder, the Shares are converted into another class of securities of the Company or any successor entity to the Company, whether by way of merger, reorganization, re-incorporation or otherwise (the “Replacement Securities”), any reference herein to the Shares (whether standing alone or as part of another defined term herein) shall be deemed a reference to such Replacement Securities. In the event that, prior to any conversion hereunder, the Company completes a share exchange with another entity (a “Share Exchange”) wherein all of the issued and outstanding Shares are exchanged for equity interests in the other entity (the “Exchanged Securities”), any reference herein to the Shares (whether standing alone or as part of another defined term herein) shall be deemed a reference to such Exchanged Securities.
2 |
(c) Mechanics of Conversion . Holder shall effect conversions pursuant to Section 3(a) by submitting to the Company a Notice of Conversion in the form as attached hereto as Exhibit A and surrendering this Note as required herein. The conversion shall be effected as of the date set forth in the Notice of Conversion (the “Conversion Date”). Not later than three Business Days after each Conversion Date (the “Delivery Date”), the Company as soon as permitted under applicable law shall immediately issue (including by way of a share certificate or a direct registration system statement) to the Holder the number of Conversion Shares issuable to Holder hereunder in connection with such conversion. Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, if the Shares are listed or quoted for public trading as of a Delivery Date, the Company may deliver the Conversion Shares electronically through the Depository Trust Company or another established clearing corporation performing similar functions. In order to effect a conversion of this Note, and as a condition precedent thereto, the Holder shall be required to, and hereby agrees to, execute and join any stockholders’ agreement or similar agreement relating to the Company and its shareholders, or to any successor entity to the Company and its members or shareholders, as requested by the Company.
(d) Surrender of Note Upon Conversion . Notwithstanding anything to the contrary set forth herein, upon conversion of this Note in accordance with the terms hereof, the Holder shall be required to physically surrender this Note to the Company. The Company shall maintain records showing the amount of Indebtedness converted and the Conversion Date. In the event of any dispute or discrepancy, such records of the Company shall, prima facie, be controlling and determinative in the absence of manifest error. Any surrender of this Note to the Company shall be at the offices of the Company at the address as set forth in the Agreement and, if so required by the Company, this Note shall be accompanied by written instrument or instruments of transfer, in form satisfactory to the Company, duly executed by Holder or by his, her or its attorney duly authorized in writing.
(e) Transfer Taxes and Expenses . Subject to the provisions of the Agreement relating to withholding of taxes in respect of non-United States persons, the issuance of Conversion Shares on conversion of this Note shall be made without charge to any Holder for any documentary stamp or similar taxes that may be payable in respect of the issue or delivery of such Conversion Shares, 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 Conversion Shares upon conversion in a name other than that of the Holder and the Company shall not be required to issue or deliver such Conversion Shares 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.
(f) Status as Shareholder . Upon submission of a Notice of Conversion by a Holder (i) this Note shall be deemed converted into Shares and (ii) the Holder’s rights as a Holder of this Note shall cease and terminate, excepting only the right to receive certificates or other evidence for such Shares as set out herein and to any remedies provided herein or otherwise available at law or in equity to such Holder because of a failure by the Company to comply with the terms of this Note.
3 |
Section 4. Conversion Limitations . The Company shall not effect any conversion of this Note this Note, and a Holder shall not have the right to convert any portion of this Note, to the extent that after giving effect to the conversion set forth on the applicable Notice of Conversion, the Holder (together with the Holder’s Affiliates, and any other Persons acting as a group together with the Holder or any of the Holder’s Affiliates (such Persons, “Attribution Parties”)) would beneficially own in excess of the Beneficial Ownership Limitation (as defined below). For purposes of the foregoing sentence, the number of shares of Common Stock beneficially owned by the Holder and its Affiliates and Attribution Parties shall include the number of shares of Common Stock issuable upon conversion of this Note with respect to which such determination is being made, but shall exclude the number of shares of Common Stock which are issuable upon (i) conversion of the remaining, unconverted principal amount of this Note beneficially owned by the Holder or any of its Affiliates or Attribution Parties and (ii) exercise or conversion of the unexercised or unconverted portion of any other securities of the Company subject to a limitation on conversion or exercise analogous to the limitation contained herein (including, without limitation, any other Notes or the Warrants) beneficially owned by the Holder or any of its Affiliates or Attribution Parties. Except as set forth in the preceding sentence, for purposes of this Section 4, beneficial ownership shall be calculated in accordance with Section 13(d) of the Exchange Act and the rules and regulations promulgated thereunder. To the extent that the limitation contained in this Section 4 applies, the determination of whether this Note is convertible (in relation to other securities owned by the Holder together with any Affiliates and Attribution Parties) and of which principal amount of this Note is convertible shall be in the sole discretion of the Holder, and the submission of a Notice of Conversion shall be deemed to be the Holder’s determination of whether this Note may be converted (in relation to other securities owned by the Holder together with any Affiliates or Attribution Parties) and which principal amount of this Note is convertible, in each case subject to the Beneficial Ownership Limitation. To ensure compliance with this restriction, the Holder will be deemed to represent to the Company each time it delivers a Notice of Conversion that such Notice of Conversion has not violated the restrictions set forth in this Section 4 and the Company shall have no obligation to verify or confirm the accuracy of such determination. In addition, a determination as to any group status as contemplated above shall be determined in accordance with Section 13(d) of the Exchange Act and the rules and regulations promulgated thereunder. For purposes of this Section 4, in determining the number of outstanding shares of Common Stock, the Holder may rely on the number of outstanding shares of Common Stock as stated in the most recent of the following: (i) the Company’s most recent periodic or annual report filed with the SEC, as the case may be, (ii) a more recent public announcement by the Company, or (iii) a more recent written notice by the Company or the Company’s transfer agent setting forth the number of shares of Common Stock outstanding. Upon the written or oral request of a Holder, the Company shall within one Business Day confirm orally and in writing to the Holder the number of shares of Common Stock then outstanding. In any case, the number of outstanding shares of Common Stock shall be determined after giving effect to the conversion or exercise of securities of the Company, including this Note, by the Holder or its Affiliates since the date as of which such number of outstanding shares of Common Stock was reported. The “Beneficial Ownership Limitation” shall be 4.99% of the number of shares of Common Stock outstanding immediately after giving effect to the issuance of shares of Common Stock issuable upon conversion of this Note by the Holder. The Holder, upon notice to the Company, may increase or decrease the Beneficial Ownership Limitation provisions of this Section 4(d), provided that any increase in the Beneficial Ownership Limitation will not be effective until the 120 th day after such notice is delivered to the Company. The Beneficial Ownership Limitation provisions of this Section 4 shall be construed and implemented in a manner otherwise than in strict conformity with the terms of this Section 4 to correct this Section 4 (or any portion hereof) which may be defective or inconsistent with the intended Beneficial Ownership Limitation contained herein or to make changes or supplements necessary or desirable to properly give effect to such limitation. The limitations contained in this Section 4 shall apply to a successor holder of this Note.

The Company shall notify each applicable Lender promptly of the institution, threat or assertion of any proceeding arising from or in connection with the transactions contemplated by this Article VII of which the Company is aware.
3 |
(b) Indemnification by Holder of Common Stock. Each applicable holder of Common Stock and its successors and assigns shall indemnify and hold harmless the Company, the officers, directors, members, partners, agents and employees (and any other individuals or entities with a functionally equivalent role of a person holding such titles, notwithstanding a lack of such title or any other title) of the Company, each individual or entity who controls the company (within the meaning of Section 15 of the Securities Act or Section 20 of the Exchange Act) and the officers, directors, members, partners, agents and employees (and any other individuals or entities with a functionally equivalent role of a person holding such titles, notwithstanding a lack of such title or any other title) of each such controlling individual or entity (each, a “Company Party”, with a Demand Registration Party and Company Party each being referred to as an “Indemnified Party”), to the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, from and against any and all Losses, as incurred, arising out of or relating to (1) any untrue or alleged untrue statement of a material fact contained in a Registration Statement, any related prospectus or any form of prospectus or in any amendment or supplement thereto or in any preliminary prospectus, or arising out of or relating to any omission or alleged omission of a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein (in the case of any such prospectus or supplement thereto, in light of the circumstances under which they were made) not misleading or (2) any violation or alleged violation by the Company of the Securities Act, the Exchange Act or any state securities law, or any rule or regulation thereunder, in connection with the performance of its obligations under this Article VII, but only to the extent that such untrue statements or omissions are based upon information regarding such applicable holder of Common Stock furnished to the Company by such party for use therein. Each applicable holder of Common Stock shall notify the Company promptly of the institution, threat or assertion of any proceeding arising from or in connection with the transactions contemplated by this Article VII of which such applicable holder of Common Stock is aware.
(c) Contribution. If the indemnification under Section 7.6(a) or Section 7.6(b), as applicable, is unavailable to an Indemnified Party or insufficient to hold an Indemnified Party harmless for any Losses, then the party responsible for indemnifying the Indemnified Party (the “Indemnifying Party”) shall contribute to the amount paid or payable by such Indemnified Party, in such proportion as is appropriate to reflect the relative fault of the Indemnifying Party and Indemnified Party in connection with the actions, statements or omissions that resulted in such Losses as well as any other relevant equitable considerations. The relative fault of the Indemnifying Party and Indemnified Party shall be determined by reference to, among other things, whether any action in question, including any untrue or alleged untrue statement of a material fact or omission or alleged omission of a material fact, has been taken or made by, or relates to information supplied by, the Indemnifying Party or the Indemnified Party, and the parties’ relative intent, knowledge, access to information and opportunity to correct or prevent such action, statement or omission. The amount paid or payable by a party as a result of any Losses shall be deemed to include any reasonable attorneys’ or other fees or expenses incurred by such party in connection with any proceeding to the extent such party would have been indemnified for such fees or expenses if the indemnification provided for in Section 3(a) was available to such party in accordance with its terms. It is agreed that it would not be just and equitable if contribution pursuant to this Section 7.6(c) were determined by pro rata allocation or by any other method of allocation that does not take into account the equitable considerations referred to in the immediately preceding sentence.
(d) Indemnification Generally. The provisions of this Section 7.6 shall be read, and shall be operative, together with the provisions of Section 10.4. For the avoidance of doubt, this Section 7.6 shall only apply only to a person formerly a Lender prior to such person’s conversion of Notes into Common Stock, which then holder of Common Stock elects to participate in a Demand Registration pursuant to this Article VII.

The representations and warranties set forth herein shall survive the termination or expiration of this Agreement. | |
(b) | Representations and Warranties of Consultant. Consultant represents and warrants hereunder that this Agreement and the transactions contemplated hereunder have been duly and validly authorized by all requisite action; that Consultant has the full right, power and capacity to execute, deliver and perform its obligations hereunder; and that this Agreement, upon execution and delivery of the same by Consultant, will represent the valid and binding obligation of Consultant enforceable in accordance with its terms, subject to the Enforceability Exceptions.

9. | Indemnification .

In claiming indemnification hereunder, the indemnified Party shall promptly provide the indemnifying Party written notice of any claim that the indemnified Party reasonably believes falls within the scope of this Agreement. The indemnified Party may, at its expense, assist in the defense if it so chooses, provided that the indemnifying Party shall control such defense, and all negotiations relative to the settlement of any such claim. Any settlement intended to bind the indemnified Party shall not be final without the indemnified Party’s written consent. Any liability of a Party and its officers, directors, controlling persons, employees or agents shall not exceed the amount of fees actually paid to Consultant by Company pursuant this Agreement. |
10. | Non-Solicit . |
(a) | As a material inducement to the Company to enter into this Agreement, Consultant agrees that unless the Company and its successors and assigns shall cease to engage in business, during the Term and for a period of five (5) years thereafter, Consultant shall not directly or indirectly solicit or hire or encourage the solicitation or hiring of any person who was an employee of the Company at any time on or after the date of the expiration or termination of this Agreement, unless more than six months shall have elapsed between the last day of such person’s employment by the Company and the first date of such solicitation or hiring. |
4 |
(b) | Consultant agrees to indemnify and hold the Company, its members, and manager, harmless from any damages, loss, cost or liability (including legal fees and the cost of enforcing this indemnity) arising out of or resulting from any breach of this Section 10 of this Agreement if Consultant is found in a final determination by a court of competent jurisdiction to be responsible for any breach of this Section 10. In addition, because an award of money damages (whether pursuant to the foregoing sentence or otherwise) would be inadequate for any breach of this Agreement by Consultant, and any such breach would cause the Company irreparable harm, Consultant also agrees that, in the event of any breach or threatened breach of this Agreement, the Company will also be entitled, without the requirement of posting a bond or other security, to equitable relief, including injunctive relief and specific performance, if Consultant is found in a final determination by a court of competent jurisdiction to be responsible for such action. Such remedies will not be the exclusive remedies for any breach of this Agreement but will be in addition to all other remedies available at law or equity to the Company. Consultant agrees that the covenants set forth in this Section 10 do not unreasonably impair the ability of Consultant to conduct any unrelated business or to find gainful work in its field. | |
(c) | Consultant has carefully read and considered the provisions of this Section 10 and, having done so, agrees that the restrictions set forth in such Section 10 are fair and reasonable and are reasonably required for the protection of the legitimate business interests of the Company. In the event that a court of competent jurisdiction shall determine that any of the foregoing restrictions are unenforceable, the Parties hereto agree that it is their desire that such court substitute an enforceable restriction in place of any restriction deemed unenforceable, and that the substitute restriction be deemed incorporated herein and enforceable against Consultant. It is the intent of the Parties hereto that the court, in so determining any such enforceable substitute restriction, recognize that it is their intent that the foregoing restrictions be imposed and maintained to the greatest extent possible. The foregoing shall not be interpreted to limit any Party’s rights to appeal. | |
(d) | This Section 10 shall survive the termination of this Agreement for any reason whatsoever and Consultant’s engagement in connection herewith. |
11. | Trade Names and Trademarks . Consultant agrees that it will use only such trade names, trademarks or other designations of the Company or any simulations thereof as may be authorized in writing by the Company. All such use shall be in accordance with the Company’s instructions and any such authorization may be withdrawn or modified at any time. Consultant will, in the event this Agreement is terminated, cease all use of any of the Company’s trade names, trademarks or other designations or other simulations thereof. Consultant will not register or attempt to register or assert any right of ownership in any of the Company’s trade names, trademarks or other designations or any simulations thereof. Consultant shall immediately notify the Company in writing upon learning of any potential or actual infringement of any trademark, patent, copyright or other proprietary right owned by or licensed to the Company, or of any actual or potential infringement by the Company of the rights of any third party. |
5 |
12. | Confidential Information . |
(a) | For purposes of this Agreement, and except as provided below, “Confidential Information” of the Company shall mean any confidential, proprietary or trade secret information, data or know-how which relates to the business, research, services, products, customers, suppliers, employees, or financial information of the Company or any of its subsidiaries or parent entities, including, but not limited to, product or service specifications, designs, drawings, prototypes, computer programs, models, business plans, marketing plans, financial data, financial statements, financial forecasts and statistical information, in each case that is marked as confidential, proprietary or secret, or with an alternate legend or marking indicating the confidentiality thereof or which, from the nature thereof should reasonably be expected to be confidential or proprietary, and any other Material Non-Public Information (as defined below), in each case which is disclosed by the Company or on its behalf, before or after the date hereof, to Consultant either in writing, orally, by inspection or in any other form or medium.

(c) | Consultant understands that the Restricted Stock is being offered and sold to Consultant in reliance upon specific exemptions from the registration requirements of United States federal and state securities laws and that the Company is relying upon the truth and accuracy of, and Consultant’s compliance with, the representations, warranties, agreements, acknowledgments and understandings of the Consultant set forth herein in order to determine the availability of such exemptions and the eligibility of the Consultant to acquire the Restricted Stock. | |
(d) | Consultant has been furnished with all documents and materials relating to the business, finances and operations of the Company and information that Consultant requested and deemed material to making an informed investment decision regarding its acquisition of the Restricted Stock. Consultant has been afforded the opportunity to review such documents and materials and the information contained therein. Consultant has been afforded the opportunity to ask questions of the Company and its management. Consultant understands that such discussions, as well as any written information provided by the Company, were intended to describe the aspects of the Company’s business and prospects which the Company believes to be material, but were not necessarily a thorough or exhaustive description and the Company makes no representation or warranty with respect to the completeness of such information and makes no representation or warranty of any kind with respect to any information provided by any entity other than the Company. Some of such information may include projections as to the future performance of the Company, which projections may not be realized, may be based on assumptions which may not be correct and may be subject to numerous factors beyond the Company’s control. Additionally, Consultant understands and represents that Consultant is acquiring the Restricted Stock notwithstanding the fact that the Company may disclose in the future certain material information that the Consultant has not received. Consultant has sought such accounting, legal and tax advice as it has considered necessary to make an informed investment decision with respect to its investment in the Restricted Stock. Consultant has full power and authority to make the representations referred to herein, to acquire the Restricted Stock and to execute and deliver this Agreement. Consultant, either personally, or together with Consultant’s advisors has such knowledge and experience in financial and business matters as to be capable of evaluating the merits and risks of an investment in the Restricted Stock, is able to bear the risks of an investment in the Restricted Stock and understands the risks of, and other considerations relating to, a purchase of the Restricted Stock. The Consultant and its advisors have had a reasonable opportunity to ask questions of and receive answers from the Company concerning the Restricted Stock. Consultant’s financial condition is such that Consultant is able to bear the risk of holding the Restricted Stock that Consultant may acquire pursuant to this Agreement for an indefinite period of time, and the risk of loss of Consultant’s entire investment in the Company. Consultant has investigated the acquisition of the Restricted Stock to the extent Consultant deemed necessary or desirable and the Company has provided Consultant with any reasonable assistance Consultant has requested in connection therewith. No representations or warranties have been made to Consultant by the Company, or any representative of the Company, or any securities broker/dealer, other than as set forth in this Agreement. |
9 |
(e) | Consultant also acknowledges and agrees that an investment in the Restricted Stock is highly speculative and involves a high degree of risk of loss of the entire investment in the Company and there is no assurance that a public market for the Restricted Stock will ever develop and that, as a result, Consultant may not be able to liquidate Consultant’s investment in the Restricted Stock should a need arise to do so. Consultant is not dependent for liquidity on any of the amounts Consultant is investing in the Restricted Stock. Consultant has full power and authority to make the representations referred to herein, to acquire the Restricted Stock and to execute and deliver this Agreement. Consultant understands that the representations and warranties herein are to be relied upon by the Company as a basis for the exemptions from registration and qualification of the issuance and sale of the Restricted Stock under the federal and state securities laws and for other purposes. | |
(f) | Consultant understands that no United States federal or state agency or any other government or governmental agency has passed upon or made any recommendation or endorsement of the Restricted Stock. | |
(g) | Consultant understands that until such time as the Restricted Stock has been registered under the Securities Act or may be sold pursuant to Rule 144, Rule 144A under the Securities Act or Regulation S without any restriction as to the number of securities as of a particular date that can then be immediately sold, the Restricted Stock may bear a restrictive legend in substantially the following form (and a stop-transfer order may be placed against transfer of the certificates for such Restricted Stock): |
“NEITHER THE ISSUANCE AND SALE OF THE SECURITIES REPRESENTED BY THIS CERTIFICATE HAVE BEEN REGISTERED UNDER THE SECURITIES ACT OF 1933, AS AMENDED, OR APPLICABLE STATE SECURITIES LAWS. THESE SECURITIES MAY NOT BE OFFERED FOR SALE, SOLD, TRANSFERRED OR ASSIGNED (I) IN THE ABSENCE OF (A) AN EFFECTIVE REGISTRATION STATEMENT FOR THE SECURITIES UNDER THE SECURITIES ACT OF 1933, AS AMENDED, OR (B) AN OPINION OF COUNSEL (WHICH COUNSEL SHALL BE SELECTED BY THE HOLDER), IN A GENERALLY ACCEPTABLE FORM, THAT REGISTRATION IS NOT REQUIRED UNDER SAID ACT OR (II) UNLESS SOLD PURSUANT TO RULE 144, RULE 144A OR REGULATION S UNDER SAID ACT. NOTWITHSTANDING THE FOREGOING, THE SECURITIES MAY BE PLEDGED IN CONNECTION WITH A BONA FIDE MARGIN ACCOUNT OR OTHER LOAN OR FINANCING ARRANGEMENT SECURED BY THE SECURITIES.”
10 |
(h) | This Agreement has been duly and validly authorized by Consultant. This Agreement has been duly executed and delivered on behalf of Consultant, and this Agreement constitutes a valid and binding agreement of Consultant enforceable in accordance with its terms. | |

Each of the Parties hereby irrevocably waives, and agrees not to assert, by way of motion, as a defense, counterclaim or otherwise, in any action or proceeding with respect to this Agreement, (a) any claim that it is not personally subject to the jurisdiction of the Selected Courts for any reason other than the failure to serve in accordance with this Section 14(k); (b) any claim that it or its property is exempt or immune from jurisdiction of any such court or from any legal process commenced in such courts (whether through service of notice, attachment prior to judgment, attachment in aid of execution of judgment, execution of judgment or otherwise); and (c) to the fullest extent permitted by law, any claim that (i) the suit, action or proceeding in such court is brought in an inconvenient forum; (ii) the venue of such suit, action or proceeding is improper; or (iii) this Agreement, or the subject matter of this Agreement, may not be enforced in or by the Selected Courts. |
13 |
(ii) | EACH PARTY TO THIS AGREEMENT HEREBY IRREVOCABLY AND UNCONDITIONALLY WAIVES, TO THE FULLEST EXTENT PERMITTED BY LAW, ANY RIGHT SUCH PARTY MAY HAVE TO A TRIAL BY JURY IN RESPECT OF ANY SUIT, ACTION OR OTHER PROCEEDING DIRECTLY OR INDIRECTLY ARISING OUT OF, UNDER, RELATING TO OR IN CONNECTION WITH THIS AGREEMENT, OR THE TRANSACTIONS CONTEMPLATED BY THIS AGREEMENT. | |
(iii) | The Consultant hereby expressly acknowledges that the agreements and restrictions contained herein are reasonable and necessary to protect the Company’s legitimate interests, that the Company would not have entered into this Agreement in the absence of such agreements and restrictions, and that any violation of such restrictions will result in irreparable harm to the Company. The Consultant agrees that the Company shall be entitled to preliminary and permanent injunctive relief, without the necessity of proving actual damages, and specific performance of, as well as an equitable accounting of all earnings, profits and other benefits arising from any violation of, the agreements and restrictions contained herein, which rights shall be cumulative and in addition to any other rights or remedies to which the Company may be entitled. The Consultant irrevocably and unconditionally (i) agrees that any legal proceeding arising out of this Section 14(k)(iii) may be brought in the Selected Courts, (ii) consents to the non-exclusive jurisdiction of the Selected Courts in any such proceeding, and (iii) waives any objection to the laying of venue of any such proceeding in any Selected Court. |

The arbitrators shall be bound to follow the applicable Agreement provisions in adjudicating the dispute. It is agreed by both Parties that the arbitrators’ decision is final, and that no Party may take any action, judicial or administrative, to overturn such decision. The judgment rendered by the arbitrators may be entered in the Selected Courts. Each Party will pay its own expenses of arbitration and the expenses of the arbitrators will be equally shared provided that, if in the opinion of the arbitrators any claim, defense, or argument raised in the arbitration was unreasonable, the arbitrators may assess all or part of the expenses of the other Party (including reasonable attorneys’ fees) and of the arbitrators as the arbitrators deem appropriate. The arbitrators may not award either Party punitive or consequential damages. | |
