Entry Into a Material Definitive Agreement

Creation of a Direct Financial Obligation or an Obligation under an Off-Balance Sheet Arrangement of a Registrant

 

On July 24, 2020, Naked Brand Group Limited (the “Company”) completed a private placement to an accredited investor (the “Investor”) of a convertible promissory note (the “Note”) and a warrant (the “Purchase Warrant”) to purchase ordinary shares, no par value, of the Company (“Ordinary Shares”), pursuant to a Securities Purchase Agreement (the “SPA”) of even date. Under the SPA, the Company sold the Note and Purchase Warrant to the Investor for a purchase price of US$8.0 million.

 

The Note was issued with an original issue discount equal to 5% of the purchase price. In addition, the Company paid US$20,000 of the Investor’s expenses, which amount was added to the principal balance of the Note. Accordingly, the Note had an original principal balance of US$8.42 million.

 

The SPA

 

The SPA includes certain customary representations, warranties, covenants and indemnification obligations of the Company. The Company also granted the Investor, for any financing through the sale of equity securities, a right of first offer to complete the financing on substantially the terms contained in the SPA and related agreements. The right of first offer expires under certain conditions as set forth in the SPA, and does not apply to any financings through the sale of Ordinary Shares only, or to one financing of up to $12 million, provided, in the latter case, that the securities are not registered for resale within six months and certain other conditions are met.

 

The Note

 

The Note accrues interest at the following rate: (i) for a period of 90 days starting on its issuance date, 2.0% per annum, (ii) for the next 90 days, 10.0% per annum and (iii) thereafter, 15.0% per annum. The Note matures on July 24, 2022, the second anniversary of its issuance.

 

Conversion

 

The Note is convertible at the election of the Investor into Ordinary Shares at a conversion price equal to the lower of (x) US$0.44, and (y) 80% of the closing bid price of the Ordinary Shares on the trading day immediately prior to the earlier of (A) the date the initial Registration Statement (as defined below) is declared effective and (B) October 31, 2020, but in any event the conversion price will not be less than the floor price specified in the Note (the “Floor Price”).

 

In addition, during the ten-day period following the earlier of the date the initial Registration Statement is declared effective and October 31, 2020, the Company will have the right to require the Investor to convert the entire principal amount of the Note in excess of $2,100,000, and all accrued interest on the Note, into Ordinary Shares. To the extent the Investor would beneficially own more than 9.9% of the Company’s outstanding Ordinary Shares after a conversion required by the Company, the Company may issue to the Investor “pre-funded” Warrants (the “Pre-Funded Warrants”) in lieu of such shares, or alternatively may extend the period during which it can require conversion.

 

2

 

 

Conversion Limitations

 

The Note may not be converted to the extent the Investor or any of its affiliates would beneficially own more than 9.9% of the Company’s outstanding Ordinary Shares (the “Maximum Percentage”) after giving effect to such conversion.

 

Events of Default

 

The Note includes certain customary events of default. Upon the occurrence of an event of default, the Investor may require the Company to redeem the Note, in whole or in part, at price equal to 110% of the amount to be redeemed. In addition, during the continuance of an event of default, the interest rate will be increased to 20.0% per annum.

 

Covenants

 

The Company is subject to certain customary affirmative and negative covenants under the Note regarding repayment of other indebtedness, payment of cash dividends, distributions or redemptions, transfer of assets and modification of the maturity of other indebtedness, among other matters.

 

Subordination

 

The Note is subordinated to the Company’s existing senior secured credit facility with the Bank of New Zealand, pursuant to a Deed of Subordination between the Company, the Investor and Bank of New Zealand (the “Deed of Subordination”).

 

The Warrants

 

The Purchase Warrant entitles the Investor to purchase up to 19,136,364 Ordinary Shares at an exercise price of US$0.6707 per share. The Pre-Funded Warrants, if issued, will have an exercise price of US$0.0001 per share. The Purchase Warrant and any Pre-Funded Warrants will expire on July 24, 2025.

 

Cashless Exercise

 

If the exercise price of the Purchase Warrants is higher than the last closing bid price of the Ordinary Shares, at any time starting on the earlier of 15 days after the effective date of the initial Registration Statement and January 24, 2021, the Purchase Warrants may be exercised on a cashless basis for a number of shares equal to the Black-Scholes value per share underlying the Purchase Warrant, multiplied by the number of shares as to which the Warrant is being exercised, divided by the closing bid price as of two business days prior to the exercise date (the “Market Price”), but in any event not less than the Floor Price. For this purpose, the Black-Scholes value per share underlying the Warrants is a fixed value as set forth in the Purchase Warrants.

 

If the last closing bid price of the Ordinary Shares is higher than the exercise price of the Purchase Warrants or the Pre-Funded Warrants, at any time after January 24, 2021 when there is no effective registration statement registering, or no current prospectus available for, the resale of the underlying shares, the Purchase Warrants and the Pre-Funded Warrants may be exercised on a cashless basis for a number of shares equal to the difference between the Market Price and the exercise price, divided by the Market Price, multiplied by the number of shares as to which the Warrant is being exercised.

 

3

 

 

Exercise Limitations

 

None of the Warrants may be exercised to the extent the holder or any of its affiliates would beneficially own more than the Maximum Percentage after giving effect to such exercise.

 

Adjustments and Other Rights Under the Note and Warrants

 

The conversion price of the Note and the exercise price and number of shares covered by the Warrants are subject to adjustment for stock splits, stock combinations and certain other transactions affecting the share capital as a whole.

 

The holders of the Note and the Warrants also will have certain rights to participate in any dividend or other distribution of its assets (or rights to acquire its assets) to holders of Ordinary Shares, by way of return of capital or otherwise, and to acquire any options, convertible securities or rights to purchase stock, warrants, securities or other property granted, issued or sold pro rata to the record holders of the Ordinary Shares.

 

The Company will not enter into a Fundamental Transaction (as defined in the Note and the Warrants) unless the Company’s successor entity assumes all the obligations under the Note and the Purchase Warrants, and the shares of capital stock of the Company’s successor entity are listed or quoted on a qualified market. Notwithstanding the foregoing, upon conversion of the Note or exercise of the Warrants following a Fundamental Transaction, the holders of the Note and the Purchase Warrants may instead elect to receive, and the holders of the Pre-Funded Warrants will receive, the same consideration that was payable to the holders of the Ordinary Shares in the Fundamental Transaction. In addition, in connection with a Fundamental Transaction, the holder of the Purchase Warrant will have the right to require the Company (or any successor) to purchase the Purchase Warrant at a price in cash equal to the Black-Scholes value. For this purpose, the Black-Scholes value is calculated using an underlying price per share equal to the market value per share or the value of the consideration paid in the Fundamental Transaction, each as determined in accordance with the Purchase Warrant; a strike price equal to the exercise price; a risk-free interest rate corresponding to the U.S. Treasury rate for the period specified in the Purchase Warrant; and an expected volatility equal to the greater of 135% and the 100 day volatility determined in accordance with the Purchase Warrant.

 

The RRA

 

In connection with the closing of the private placement, the Company entered into a registration rights agreement (the “RRA”) with the Investor. Pursuant to the RRA, the Company must register for resale the Ordinary Shares issuable pursuant to the Note and the Warrants, on a registration statement (the “Registration Statement”) filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”). The Company also granted the Investor customary “piggyback” registration rights.

 

Pursuant to the RRA, the Company must file the Registration Statement within 15 days of the closing and must obtain effectiveness of the Registration Statement within 60 days of the closing. If the Company does not file the Registration Statement or obtain effectiveness of the Registration Statement by such dates, or if on any day sales of the Ordinary Shares underlying the Note and the Warrants cannot be made pursuant to the Registration Statement (subject to certain grace periods and limitations), or if the Registration Statement is not available or does not cover all of the shares, and the Company fails to file reports with the SEC such that current public information is not available in compliance with Rule 144 under the Securities Act, then the Company generally will be required to pay the Investor an amount equal to 2% of the purchase price for the securities affected by such failure upon such failure and on each 30 day anniversary thereof until the failure is cured. No such payments will be due for any period when the Ordinary Shares may be sold pursuant to Rule 144. In addition, except in the case where there is no Registration Statement available and no current public information available in accordance with Rule 144 under the Securities Act, the Company will be required to make no more than 12 such payments.

 

4

 

 

The Company agreed to indemnify the Investor against certain liabilities, including certain liabilities under the Securities Act, in accordance with the RRA (or, if such indemnification is not available, the Investor will be entitled to contribution). The Investor agreed to indemnify the Company against certain liabilities, including certain liabilities under the Securities Act, that may arise from any written information furnished to the Company by the Investor specifically for use in the Registration Statement, in accordance with the RRA (or, if such indemnification is not available, the Company will be entitled to contribution).

 

Unregistered Sales of Equity Securities

 

The information set forth under “Creation of a Direct Financial Obligation or an Obligation under an Off-Balance Sheet Arrangement of a Registrant” is incorporated herein by reference. The Note, the Warrants and the Ordinary Shares issuable upon conversion of the Note or exercise of the Warrants were offered and sold, or are being offered and sold, in a private placement to accredited investors pursuant to the exemption from registration contained in Section 4(a)(2) of the Securities Act and Rule 506 of Regulation D thereunder.

 

Additional Information

 

As previously disclosed, the Company sold Convertible Promissory Notes to the Investor and an affiliate of the Investor (together, the “Affiliated Holders”), on October 4, 2019, November 12, 2019, December 19, 2019, January 9, 2020, February 11, 2020 and April 15, 2020 (the “Prior Notes”). Also as previously disclosed, on April 9, 2020 and June 10, 2020, the Company entered into amendments with the Affiliated Holders, which amended the Prior Notes issued on October 4, 2019, November 12, 2019, December 19, 2019 and January 9, 2020 (the “Amended Notes”). The amendments gave the Affiliated Holders the ability, subject to the Company’s approval, to convert the outstanding balance of the Amended Notes into the Ordinary Shares at a conversion price per share that is equal to (i) a percentage of not less than 75%, multiplied by (ii) the lowest daily volume weighted average price of the Ordinary Shares in the preceding 20 trading days, but in any event not less than the floor price specified in the amendments. Pursuant to the amendments, and pursuant to prior temporary reductions in the conversion price, as of July 24, 2020, the Affiliated Holder had converted the entire outstanding balance of the Prior Notes issued in October, November and December 2019 and US$2,000,000 of the outstanding balance of the Prior Note issued in January 2020 (or an aggregate outstanding balance of approximately US$12,900,000) into approximately 30,588,000 Ordinary Shares. As of July 24, 2020, the aggregate remaining outstanding balance of the Prior Notes was approximately US$8,875,000.

Issuance Date: July 24, 2020 Original Principal Amount: U.S. $8,420,000.00

 

FOR VALUE RECEIVED, Naked Brand Group Limited, an Australian company (the “Company”), hereby promises to pay to the order of Iliad Research and Trading, L.P., a Utah limited partnership, or its registered assigns (“Holder”), the principal sum set forth above as the Original Principal Amount (as reduced pursuant to the terms hereof pursuant to redemption or otherwise, the “Principal”) together with interest on any outstanding Principal (as such interest on any outstanding Principal may be reduced pursuant to the terms hereof pursuant to redemption or otherwise) from the date set out above as the Issuance Date. This Convertible Note (with all notes issued in exchange, transfer or replacement hereof, this “Note”) is issued pursuant to that certain Securities Purchase Agreement, dated as of July 24, 2020, by and among the Company, Holder and the other investor(s) referred to therein (the “Securities Purchase Agreement”). Capitalized terms used herein and not otherwise defined herein shall have the respective meanings set forth in the Securities Purchase Agreement.

 

This Note carries an original issue discount of $400,000.00. In addition, the Company agrees to pay $20,000.00 to Holder to cover Holder’s legal fees, accounting costs, due diligence, monitoring and other transaction costs incurred in connection with the purchase and sale of this Note, all of which amount is fully earned and included in the initial principal balance of this Note.

 

     

 

 

1. PAYMENTS OF PRINCIPAL AND INTEREST; PREPAYMENT.

 

(a) Unless earlier converted into Conversion Shares (as defined below), the outstanding Principal and accrued interest of this Note will be due and payable by the Company on July 24, 2022 (the “Maturity Date”).

 

(b) Other than conversions pursuant to Section 3, no prepayment of Principal or accrued interest may be made without the written consent of the Holder.

 

(c) All payments made under this Note will be made in lawful money of the United States of America at the principal office of the Company, or at such other place as the Holder may from time to time designate in writing to the Company. Payment will be credited first to accrued interest due and payable, with any remainder applied to Principal.

 

2. INTEREST; INTEREST RATE.

 

(a) Interest on this Note shall commence accruing on the Issuance Date, shall accrue daily at the Interest Rate on the outstanding Principal from time to time, shall be computed on the basis of a 360-day year and twelve 30-day months. Interest shall be payable on the Maturity Date or any applicable Redemption Date.

 

(b) From and after the occurrence and during the continuance of any Event of Default, the Interest Rate shall automatically be increased to twenty percent (20.0%) per annum (the “Default Interest Rate”). In the event that such Event of Default is subsequently cured, the adjustment referred to in the preceding sentence shall cease to be effective as of the date of such cure; provided that the Interest as calculated and unpaid at such increased rate during the continuance of such Event of Default shall continue to apply to the extent relating to the days after the occurrence of such Event of Default through and including the date of such cure of such Event of Default.

 

3. CONVERSION. This Note shall be convertible into validly issued, fully paid and non-assessable Ordinary Shares on the terms and conditions set forth in this Section 3.

 

(a) Holder’s Conversion Right. Subject to the provisions of Section 3(f), at any time or times on or after the Execution Date, the Holder shall be entitled to convert any portion or the entirety of the outstanding Principal and/or accrued interest under this Note into validly issued, fully paid and non-assessable Ordinary Shares (“Conversion Shares”) in accordance with Section 3(c). Any such portion of the outstanding Principal and/or accrued and unpaid interest thereon to be converted in accordance with this Section 3 is referred to herein as the “Conversion Amount.”

 

(b) Conversion Shares. The number of Conversion Shares issuable upon conversion of the Conversion Amount shall be determined according to the following formula:

 

Conversion Amount / Conversion Price

 

No fractional Ordinary Shares are to be issued upon the conversion of this Note. If the issuance would result in the issuance of a fraction of an Ordinary Share, the Company shall round such fraction of an Ordinary Share up to the nearest whole share.

 

  2  

 

 

(c) Mechanics of Conversion. The conversion shall be conducted in the following manner:

 

(i) Holder’s Conversion. To convert all or a portion of this Note into Conversion Shares on any date or, if later, the Issuance Date (a “Conversion Date”), a Holder shall deliver to the Company (whether via email or otherwise), for receipt on or prior to 11:59 p.m., New York time, on such date, a copy of an executed notice of conversion in the form attached hereto as Exhibit A (the “Conversion Notice”). If required by Section 3(c)(vi), within five (5) Trading Days following the Conversion Date, Holder shall surrender this Note to a nationally recognized overnight delivery service for delivery to the Company (or an indemnification undertaking with respect to this Note in the case of its loss, theft or destruction as contemplated by Section 9(b)).

 

(ii) Company’s Response. Not later than the first (1st) Trading Day following the date of receipt of a Conversion Notice, the Company shall transmit by email an acknowledgment of confirmation, in the form attached hereto as Exhibit B, of receipt of such Conversion Notice to such Holder and the Company’s transfer agent (the “Transfer Agent”), which confirmation shall constitute an instruction to the Transfer Agent to process such Conversion Notice in accordance with the terms herein. On or before the fifth (5th) Trading Day following the date of receipt by the Company of such Conversion Notice, the Company shall (1) provided that the Transfer Agent is participating in The Depository Trust Company (“DTC”) Fast Automated Securities Transfer Program (which the Company shall cause the Transfer Agent to do at Holder’s request) and provided the legends would be eligible to be removed from such Ordinary Shares pursuant to Section 5(d) of the Securities Purchase Agreement, upon the request of the Holder, credit such aggregate number of Conversion Shares to which the Holder is entitled pursuant to such conversion to the Holder’s or its designee’s balance account with DTC through its Deposit/Withdrawal at Custodian system, or (2) if the Transfer Agent is not participating in the DTC Fast Automated Securities Transfer Program or the legends would not be eligible to be removed from such Ordinary Shares pursuant to Section 5(d) of the Securities Purchase Agreement, issue and deliver to the Holder or, at the Holder’s instruction pursuant to the Conversion Notice, the Holder’s agent or designee, in each case, sent by reputable overnight courier to the address as specified in the applicable Conversion Notice, a certificate, registered in the Company’s share register in the name of the Holder or its designee (as indicated in the applicable Conversion Notice), for the number of Conversion Shares to which the Holder is entitled pursuant to such conversion.

 

(iii) Record Holder. Upon delivery of a Conversion Notice, the Holder shall be deemed for all corporate purposes to have become the holder of record of the Conversion Shares with respect to which such Conversion Notice was issued, irrespective of the date such Conversion Shares are credited to the Holder’s DTC account or the date of delivery of the certificates evidencing such Conversion Shares (as the case may be).

 

  3  

 

 

(iv) Company’s Failure to Timely Deliver Securities. To the extent permitted by law, the Company’s obligations to issue and deliver the Conversion Shares in accordance with the terms hereof are absolute and unconditional, irrespective of any action or inaction by the Holder to enforce the same, any waiver or consent with respect to any provision hereof, the recovery of any judgment against any person or any action to enforce the same, or any setoff, counterclaim, recoupment, limitation or termination, or any breach or alleged breach by the Holder or any other person of any obligation to the Company or any violation or alleged violation of law by the Holder or any other person, and irrespective of any other circumstance that might otherwise limit such obligation of the Company to the Holder in connection with the issuance of the Conversion Shares. Nothing herein shall limit the Holder’s right to pursue any other remedies available to it hereunder, at law or in equity including, without limitation, a decree of specific performance and/or injunctive relief with respect to the Company’s failure to timely deliver the Conversion Shares as required pursuant to the terms hereof.

 

(v) Disputes. In the case of a dispute as to the determination of the Conversion Price or the arithmetic calculation of the number of Conversion Shares to be issued pursuant to the terms hereof, the Company shall promptly issue to the Holder the number of Conversion Shares that are not disputed, provided that following such issuance to Holder such dispute shall be resolved in accordance with Section 21.

 

(vi) Book-Entry. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary set forth in this Section 3 or Section 4, upon conversion or redemption of any portion of this Note in accordance with the terms hereof, no Holder thereof shall be required to physically surrender this Note to the Company unless the full Conversion Amount represented by this Note is being converted or the entire outstanding Principal and accrued but unpaid interest thereon is being redeemed. Each Holder and the Company shall maintain records showing the portion of the Note so converted by such Holder or redeemed by the Company and the dates of such conversions or redemptions or shall use such other method, reasonably satisfactory to such Holder and the Company, so as not to require physical surrender of the Note upon each such conversion or redemption. A Holder and any transferee or assignee, by acceptance of a certificate, acknowledge and agree that, by reason of the provisions of this paragraph, following conversion or redemption of any portion of the Note, the outstanding Principal represented by such Note may be less than stated on the face thereof. Each Note shall bear the following legend:

 

ANY TRANSFEREE OF THIS NOTE SHOULD CAREFULLY REVIEW THE TERMS OF THIS NOTE, INCLUDING SECTIONS 3(c)(vi) AND 9(a). THE PRINCIPAL AMOUNT REPRESENTED BY THIS NOTE AND, ACCORDINGLY, THE SECURITIES ISSUABLE UPON CONVERSION HEREOF MAY BE LESS THAN THE AMOUNTS SET FORTH ON THE FACE HEREOF PURSUANT TO SECTION 3(c)(vi).

 

  4  

 

 

(d) Company Conversion to Ordinary Shares Right. Provided that no Event of Default (as defined below) then exists, the Company shall have the one-time right to effectuate a conversion hereunder in an amount equal to the then outstanding Principal under this Note and accrued and unpaid interest thereon less $2,100,000.00 to Ordinary Shares at the Conversion Price. The Company may exercise this right at any time during the period starting with the earlier of (x) the date on which the Initial Registration Statement is declared effective by the SEC and (y) October 30, 2020, and ending on the tenth (10th) calendar day following such earlier date. To the extent that the limitations set forth in paragraph (f) below limit the portion of the Note that may be so converted, the Company shall have the right, at its election to: (A) so convert such portion of the Note as would not give rise to a violation of such limitation and the ten (10) calendar day period referred to above shall be extended for such period of time as may be necessary to allow the Company to effectuate the conversion of all then outstanding Notes under this Section 3(d), or (B) in lieu of issuing such Conversion Shares that will cause such Holder’s beneficial ownership of the Ordinary Shares to exceed such limitation, issue to such Holder Pre-Funded Warrants (as defined in the Securities Purchase Agreement) to acquire up to the aggregate number of Conversion Shares that would cause such Holder’s beneficial ownership to exceed such limitation. In the case the Company issues Pre-Funded Warrants pursuant to clause (B), the Company shall also issue to such Holder additional Pre-Funded Warrants in an amount equal in value to the aggregate exercise price of Pre-Funded Warrants issued pursuant to this section. The procedures and other provisions of this Note as set forth with respect to a conversion at the election of the Holder shall otherwise apply to conversions under this Section 3(d) as if conversions under this Section 3(d) were conversions by such Holder otherwise under this Note.

 

(e) Taxes. The Company shall pay any and all documentary, stamp, transfer (but only in respect of the registered holder thereof), issuance and other similar taxes that may be payable with respect to the issuance and delivery of Conversion Shares upon the conversion of the Note.

 

(f) Limitation on Beneficial Ownership. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Note, this Note shall not be convertible or exchangeable by the Holder hereof to the extent (but only to the extent), after giving effect to the issuance of Ordinary Shares issuable upon such conversion, the Holder or any of its affiliates would beneficially own in excess of 9.9% of the number of Ordinary Shares then outstanding, as calculated in accordance with Section 13(d) of the Exchange Act (the “Maximum Percentage”). To the extent the above limitation applies, the determination of whether this Note shall be convertible or exchangeable (vis-à-vis other convertible, exercisable or exchangeable securities owned by the Holder or any of its affiliates) and of which such securities shall be convertible, exercisable or exchangeable (as among all such securities owned by the Holder) shall, subject to such Maximum Percentage limitation, be determined on the basis of the first submission to the Company for conversion, exercise or exchange (as the case may be). No prior inability to convert or exchange this Note pursuant to this paragraph shall have any effect on the applicability of the provisions of this paragraph with respect to any subsequent determination of convertibility or exchangeability. For the purposes of this paragraph, beneficial ownership and all determinations and calculations (including, without limitation, with respect to calculations of percentage ownership) shall be determined in accordance with Section 13(d) of the 1934 Act and the rules and regulations promulgated thereunder. The provisions of this paragraph shall be implemented in a manner otherwise than in strict conformity with the terms of this paragraph to correct this paragraph (or any portion hereof) which may be defective or inconsistent with the intended Maximum Percentage beneficial ownership limitation herein contained or to make changes or supplements necessary or desirable to properly give effect to such Maximum Percentage limitation. The limitations contained in this paragraph shall apply to a successor Holder of this Note. The holders of Ordinary Shares shall be third party beneficiaries of this paragraph and the Company may not waive this paragraph without the consent of holders of a majority of its Ordinary Shares. For any reason at any time, upon the written or oral request of the Holder, the Company shall within two (2) Business Days confirm orally and in writing to the Holder the number of Ordinary Shares then outstanding, including by virtue of any prior conversion or exercise or exchange of convertible or exercisable or exchangeable securities into Ordinary Shares, including, without limitation, pursuant to this Note or securities issued pursuant to the Securities Purchase Agreement.

 

  5  

 

 

(g) Reservation of Shares; Insufficient Authorized Shares. The Company shall initially reserve out of its authorized and unissued Ordinary Shares a number of Ordinary Shares equal to 200% of the maximum number of Conversion Shares issuable to satisfy the Company’s obligations to issue Ordinary Shares hereunder, and the Company shall at all times keep reserved for issuance under this Note a number of Ordinary Shares equal to 200% of the maximum number of Conversion Shares issuable to satisfy the Company’s obligation to issue Ordinary Shares hereunder.

(v) the Company fails to remove any restrictive legend on any certificate or any Ordinary Shares issued to the Holder upon conversion or exercise (as the case may be) of any Securities acquired by the Holder under the Securities Purchase Agreement (including this Note) as and when required by such Securities or the Securities Purchase Agreement, unless otherwise then prohibited by applicable federal securities laws, and any such failure remains uncured for a period of three (3) consecutive Business Days;

  8  

 

 

(xvi) any provision of any Transaction Document (shall at any time for any reason (other than pursuant to the express terms thereof) cease to be valid and binding on or enforceable against the parties thereto, or the validity or enforceability thereof shall be contested by any party thereto, or a proceeding shall be commenced by the Company or any Subsidiary or any governmental authority having jurisdiction over any of them, seeking to establish the invalidity or unenforceability thereof, or the Company or any Subsidiary shall deny in writing that it has any liability or obligation purported to be created under any Transaction Document.

 

Upon the occurrence of an Event of Default with respect to this Note, the Company shall promptly, but in no case later than two (2) Business Days, deliver written notice thereof via email and overnight courier (with next day delivery specified) (an “Event of Default Notice”) to the Holder.

 

(b) Redemption Right. Upon each occurrence of an Event of Default, the Holder shall have the right to cause the Company to redeem all or any portion of this Note in accordance with the terms of this Section 4(b). The Holder may exercise its redemption right at any time during each period beginning on the earlier of (i) the Holder’s receipt of an Event of Default Notice and (ii) the Holder becoming aware of an Event of Default (such earlier date, the “Event of Default Right Commencement Date”) and ending on the date that is the twentieth (20th) Trading Day after the date such Event of Default is cured (such date, the “Event of Default Right Expiration Date”). The Holder may redeem all or any portion of this Note by delivering written notice thereof (the “Event of Default Redemption Notice”) to the Company, which Event of Default Redemption Notice shall indicate the portion of this Note the Holder is electing to redeem (a “Redemption Amount”); provided, however, that the Company shall not be required to redeem any portion of this Note unless the Company has received notices from holders of the Convertible Notes electing to redeem at least 20% of the Principal amount of the Convertible Notes then outstanding prior to the applicable Event of Default Expiration Date. Subject to the terms of this Section 4(b), the Company shall redeem the Redemption Amount by paying to Holder an aggregate amount (the “Event of Default Redemption Price”) equal to the product of (i) the Redemption Amount to be redeemed multiplied by (ii) the Redemption Premium. Redemptions required by this Section 4(b) shall be made in accordance with the provisions of Section 4(c). To the extent redemptions required by this Section 4(b) are deemed or determined by a court of competent jurisdiction to be prepayments of this Note by the Company, such redemptions shall be deemed to be voluntary prepayments. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Section 4, but subject to Section 3(f), until the Event of Default Redemption Price is paid in full, the Redemption Amount submitted for redemption under this Section 4(b) may be converted, in whole or in part, by the Holder into Ordinary Shares pursuant to Section 3. In the event of a partial redemption of this Note pursuant hereto, the Redemption Amount shall be credited first to accrued interest due and payable, with any remainder applied to Principal outstanding under this Note. In the event of the Company’s redemption of any portion of this Note under this Section 4(b), the Holder’s damages would be uncertain and difficult to estimate because of the parties’ inability to predict future interest rates and the uncertainty of the availability of a suitable substitute investment opportunity for the Holder. Accordingly, any redemption premium due under this Section 4(b) is intended by the parties to be, and shall be deemed, a reasonable estimate of the Holder’s actual loss of its investment opportunity and not as a penalty.

 

  9  

 

 

(c) Redemption Mechanics. Within five (5) Business Days after the Company’s receipt of the Holder’s Event of Default Redemption Notice, the Company shall deliver the applicable Event of Default Redemption Price to the Holder in cash. If required by Section 3(c)(vi), within five (5) Trading Days following the Holder’s Event of Default Redemption Notice, Holder shall surrender this Note to a nationally recognized overnight delivery service for delivery to the Company (or an indemnification undertaking with respect to this Note in the case of its loss, theft or destruction as contemplated by Section 9(b)). In the event that the Company does not pay the Event of Default Redemption Price to the Holder within the time period required, at any time thereafter and until the Company pays such unpaid Event of Default Redemption Price in full, the Holder shall have the option, in lieu of redemption, to require the Company to promptly return to the Holder all or any portion of this Note representing the Redemption Amount that was submitted for redemption and for which the Event of Default Redemption Price has not been paid. Upon the Company’s receipt of such notice, (x) the applicable Redemption Notice shall be null and void with respect to such Redemption Amount and (y) if the Note has been physically surrendered in accordance with Section 3(c)(vi), the Company shall immediately return this Note, or issue a new Note (in accordance with Section 9(d)), to the Holder, and in each case the Principal amount of this Note or such new Note (as the case may be) shall be increased by an amount equal to the difference between (1) the Event of Default Redemption Price minus (2) the Redemption Amount submitted for redemption.

 

5. ADJUSTMENT OF CONVERSION PRICE AND NUMBER OF CONVERSION SHARES. The Conversion Price and number of Conversion Shares issuable upon conversion of this Note are subject to adjustment from time to time as set forth in this Section 5.

 

(a) Stock Dividends and Splits. Without limiting any provision of Section 7, if the Company, at any time on or after the date of the Securities Purchase Agreement, (i) pays a stock dividend on one or more classes of its then outstanding Ordinary Shares or otherwise makes a distribution on any class of capital stock that is payable in Ordinary Shares, (ii) subdivides (by any stock split, stock dividend, recapitalization or otherwise) one or more classes of its then outstanding Ordinary Shares into a larger number of shares or (iii) combines (by combination, reverse stock split or otherwise) one or more classes of its then outstanding Ordinary Shares into a smaller number of shares, then in each such case the Conversion Price shall be multiplied by a fraction of which the numerator shall be the number of Ordinary Shares outstanding immediately before such event and of which the denominator shall be the number of Ordinary Shares outstanding immediately after such event. Any adjustment made pursuant to clause (i) of this paragraph shall become effective immediately after the record date for the determination of shareholders entitled to receive such dividend or distribution, and any adjustment pursuant to clause (ii) or (iii) of this paragraph shall become effective immediately after the effective date of such subdivision or combination. If any event requiring an adjustment under this paragraph occurs during the period that a Conversion Price is calculated hereunder, then the calculation of such Conversion Price shall be adjusted appropriately to reflect such event.

 

(b) Calculations. All calculations under this Section 5 shall be made by rounding to the nearest 1/10000th of cent and the nearest 1/100th of a share, as applicable. The number of Ordinary Shares outstanding at any given time shall not include shares owned or held by or for the account of the Company, and the disposition of any such shares shall be considered an issue or sale of Ordinary Shares.

 

  10  

 

 

6. RIGHTS UPON DISTRIBUTION OF ASSETS. In addition to any adjustments pursuant to Section 5, if the Company shall declare or make any dividend or other distribution of its assets (or rights to acquire its assets) to holders of Ordinary Shares, by way of return of capital or otherwise (including, without limitation, any distribution of cash, stock or other securities, indebtedness, property or options by way of a dividend, spin off, reclassification, corporate rearrangement, scheme of arrangement or other similar transaction, other than a distribution of Ordinary Shares covered by Section 5(a)) (a “Distribution”), at any time after the issuance of this Note, then, in each such case, provision shall be made so that upon conversion of this Note, the Holder shall be entitled to participate in such Distribution to the same extent that the Holder would have participated therein if the Holder had held the number of Ordinary Shares acquirable upon complete conversion of this Note (without regard to any limitations on conversion hereof, including without limitation, the Maximum Percentage) immediately before the date on which a record is taken for such Distribution, or, if no such record is taken, the date as of which the record holders of Ordinary Shares are to be determined for the participation in such Distribution (provided, however, to the extent that the Holder’s right to participate in any such Distributions would result in the Holder exceeding the Maximum Percentage, then the Holder shall not be entitled to participate in such Distribution to such extent (or the beneficial ownership of any such Ordinary Shares as a result of such Distribution to such extent) and such Distribution to such extent shall be held in abeyance for the benefit of the Holder until such time, if ever, as its right thereto would not result in the Holder exceeding the Maximum Percentage).

 

7. PURCHASE RIGHTS; FUNDAMENTAL TRANSACTION.

 

(a) Purchase Rights. In addition to any adjustments pursuant to Section 5 herein, if at any time the Company grants, issues or sells any Options, Convertible Securities (as defined in the Securities Purchase Agreement) or rights to purchase stock, warrants, securities or other property pro rata to the record holders of any class of Ordinary Shares (the “Purchase Rights”), then the Holder will be entitled to acquire, upon the terms applicable to such Purchase Rights, the aggregate Purchase Rights which the Holder could have acquired if the Holder had held the number of Ordinary Shares acquirable upon complete conversion of this Note (without regard to any limitations on exercise hereof, including without limitation, the Maximum Percentage) immediately before the date on which a record is taken for the grant, issuance or sale of such Purchase Rights, or, if no such record is taken, the date as of which the record holders of Ordinary Shares are to be determined for the grant, issue or sale of such Purchase Rights (provided, however, to the extent that the Holder’s right to participate in any such Purchase Right would result in the Holder exceeding the Maximum Percentage, then the Holder shall not be entitled to participate in such Purchase Right to such extent (or beneficial ownership of such Ordinary Shares as a result of such Purchase Right to such extent) and such Purchase Right to such extent shall be held in abeyance for the Holder until such time, if ever, as its right thereto would not result in the Holder exceeding the Maximum Percentage).

 

  11  

 

 

(b) Fundamental Transactions. The Company shall not enter into or be party to a Fundamental Transaction unless (i) the Successor Entity assumes in writing all of the obligations of the Company under this Note and the other Transaction Documents related to this Note in accordance with the provisions of this Section 7(b) pursuant to written agreements in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to the Holder, including agreements confirming the obligations of the Successor Entity as set forth in this Note and an obligation to deliver to the Holder in exchange for this Note a security of the Successor Entity evidenced by a written instrument substantially similar in form and substance to this Note, including, without limitation, which is convertible for a corresponding number of shares of capital stock equivalent to the Ordinary Shares acquirable and receivable upon conversion of this Note (without regard to any limitations on the conversion of this Note) prior to such Fundamental Transaction, and with a conversion price which applies the Conversion Price hereunder to such shares of capital stock (but taking into account the relative value of the Ordinary Shares pursuant to such Fundamental Transaction and the value of such shares of capital stock, such adjustments to the number of shares of capital stock and such exercise price being for the purpose of protecting the economic value of this Note immediately prior to the consummation of such Fundamental Transaction), and (ii) the shares of capital stock of the Successor Entity into which this Note is convertible are listed on a Qualified Market and such shares (or the shares of the Successor Entity’s predecessor or predecessors, as defined in Rule 12b-2 under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended) have been listed on such Qualified Market for a period of at least one (1) year. Notwithstanding the foregoing, at the election of the Holder upon conversion of this Note following a Fundamental Transaction, the Successor Entity shall deliver to the Holder, in lieu of the Ordinary Shares (or other securities, cash, assets or other property (except such items still issuable under Sections 6 and 7(a) above, which shall continue to be receivable thereafter)) issuable upon the conversion of this Note prior to the applicable Fundamental Transaction, such shares of common stock (or its equivalent) of the Successor Entity (including its Parent Entity), or other securities, cash, assets or other property, which the Holder would have been entitled to receive upon the happening of the applicable Fundamental Transaction had this Note been exercised immediately prior to the applicable Fundamental Transaction; provided, however, that such amount of reserved Ordinary Shares shall be limited by the Maximum Percentage of Ordinary Shares.

 

8. SUBORDINATION. Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, this Note and the obligations of Company hereunder are subject in all respects to the terms of that certain Deed of Subordination by and among Company, Holder and Bank of New Zealand of even date herewith (the “Deed of Subordination”).

 

9. REISSUANCE OF NOTE.

 

(a) Transfer. If this Note is to be transferred, the Holder shall surrender this Note to the Company, whereupon the Company will forthwith issue and deliver upon the order of the Holder a new Note (in accordance with Section 9(d)), registered as the Holder may request, representing the outstanding Principal being transferred by the Holder and, if less than the entire outstanding Principal is being transferred, a new Note (in accordance with Section 9(d)) to the Holder representing the outstanding Principal not being transferred. The Holder and any assignee, by acceptance of this Note, acknowledge and agree that, by reason of the provisions of Section 3(c)(vi) following conversion or redemption of any portion of this Note, the outstanding Principal represented by this Note may be less than the Principal stated on the face of this Note.

 

(b) Lost, Stolen or Mutilated Note. Upon receipt by the Company of evidence reasonably satisfactory to the Company of the loss, theft, destruction or mutilation of this Note (as to which a written certification and the indemnification contemplated below shall suffice as such evidence), and, in the case of loss, theft or destruction, of any indemnification undertaking by the Holder to the Company in customary and reasonable form and, in the case of mutilation, upon surrender and cancellation of this Note, the Company shall execute and deliver to the Holder a new Note (in accordance with Section 9(d)) representing the outstanding Principal.

12. REMEDIES, CHARACTERIZATIONS, OTHER OBLIGATIONS, BREACHES AND INJUNCTIVE RELIEF. The remedies provided in this Note shall be cumulative and in addition to all other remedies available under this Note and the other Transaction Documents, at law or in equity (including a decree of specific performance and/or other injunctive relief), and nothing herein shall limit the right of the Holder to pursue actual damages for any failure by the Company to comply with the terms of this Note. The Company covenants to the Holder that there shall be no characterization concerning this instrument other than as expressly provided herein. Amounts set forth or provided for herein with respect to payments, conversions and the like (and the computation thereof) shall be the amounts to be received by the Holder and shall not, except as expressly provided herein, be subject to any other obligation of the Company (or the performance thereof). The Company acknowledges that a breach by it of its obligations hereunder will cause irreparable harm to the Holder and that the remedy at law for any such breach may be inadequate. The Company therefore agrees that, in the event of any such breach or threatened breach, the holder of this Note shall be entitled, in addition to all other available remedies, to an injunction restraining any breach, without the necessity of showing economic loss and without any bond or other security being required. The Company shall provide all information and documentation to the Holder that is requested by the Holder to enable the Holder to confirm the Company’s compliance with the terms and conditions of this Note (including, without limitation, compliance with Section 5 hereof). The issuance of Ordinary Shares and certificates for Ordinary Shares as contemplated hereby upon the conversion of this Note shall be made without charge to the Holder or such Ordinary Shares for any issuance tax or other costs in respect thereof, provided that the Company shall not be required to pay any tax which may be payable in respect of any transfer involved in the issuance and delivery of any certificate in a name other than the Holder or its agent on its behalf.

 

13. PAYMENT OF COLLECTION, ENFORCEMENT AND OTHER COSTS. If (a) this Note is placed in the hands of an attorney for collection or enforcement or is collected or enforced through any legal proceeding or the Holder otherwise takes action to collect amounts due under this Note or to enforce the provisions of this Note or (b) there occurs any bankruptcy, reorganization, receivership of the Company or other proceedings affecting Company creditors’ rights and involving a claim under this Note, then the Company shall pay the costs incurred by the Holder for such collection, enforcement or action or in connection with such bankruptcy, reorganization, receivership or other proceeding, including, without limitation, attorneys’ fees and disbursements.

 

14. NON-CIRCUMVENTION. The Company hereby covenants and agrees that the Company will not, by amendment of its certificate of incorporation, bylaws or through any reorganization, transfer of assets, consolidation, merger, scheme of arrangement, 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 of this Note, and will at all times in good faith carry out all the provisions of this Note and take all action as may be required to protect the rights of the Holder. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the Company (i) shall take all such actions as may be necessary or appropriate in order that the Company may validly and legally issue fully paid and non-assessable Ordinary Shares upon the conversion of this Note, and (ii) shall, so long as any of the Principal under this Note remains outstanding, take all action necessary to reserve and keep available out of its authorized and unissued Ordinary Shares, solely for the purpose of effecting the exercise of this Note, the maximum number of Ordinary Shares as shall from time to time be necessary to effect the conversion of this Note.

 

15. FAILURE OR INDULGENCE NOT WAIVER. No failure or delay on the part of a Holder in the exercise of any power, right or privilege hereunder shall operate as a waiver thereof, nor shall any single or partial exercise of any such power, right or privilege preclude other or further exercise thereof or of any other right, power or privilege. No waiver shall be effective unless it is in writing and signed by an authorized representative of the waiving party.

 

  15  

 

 

16. NOTICES. Whenever notice is required to be given under this Note, unless otherwise provided herein, such notice shall be given in accordance with Section 9(f) of the Securities Purchase Agreement. The Company shall provide the Holder with prompt written notice of all actions taken pursuant to this Note, including in reasonable detail a description of such action and the reason therefor. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the Company will give written notice to the Holder (i) as soon as practicable upon each adjustment of the Conversion Price and the number of Conversion Shares, setting forth in reasonable detail, and certifying, the calculation of such adjustment(s), (ii) at least fifteen (15) days prior to the date on which the Company closes its books or takes a record (A) with respect to any dividend or distribution upon the Ordinary Shares, or (B) for determining rights to vote with respect to any Fundamental Transaction, dissolution or liquidation, and (iii) at least ten (10) Trading Days prior to the consummation of any Fundamental Transaction. To the extent that any notice provided hereunder (whether under this Section 16 or otherwise) constitutes, or contains, material, non-public information regarding the Company, the Company shall simultaneously file such notice with the SEC pursuant to a Report of Foreign Private Issuer on Form 6-K. It is expressly understood and agreed that the time of execution specified by the Holder in each Conversion Notice shall be definitive and may not be disputed or challenged by the Company.

 

17. PAYMENTS. Whenever any payment of cash is to be made by the Company to any Person pursuant to this Note, unless otherwise expressly set forth herein, such payment shall be made in lawful money of the United States of America by wire transfer of immediately available funds by providing the Company with prior written notice setting out the Holder’s wire transfer instructions. Whenever any amount expressed to be due by the terms of this Note is due on any day which is not a Business Day, the same shall instead be due on the next succeeding day which is a Business Day. Any amounts due under the Transaction Documents (other than Principal and interest) which is not paid when due shall result in a late charge being incurred and payable by the Company in an amount equal to interest on such amount at the Default Interest Rate from the date such amount was due until the same is paid in full.

 

18. TRANSFERABILITY OF NOTE. A Holder may transfer some or all of this Note, or any shares issuable upon conversion of this Note, without the consent of the Company, subject only to the limitations of Section 2(g) of the Securities Purchase Agreement.

 

19. REGISTER.

If the Holder and the Company are unable to agree upon such determination or calculation (as the case may be) within three (3) Business Days of such disputed determination or arithmetic calculation being submitted to the Company or the Holder (as the case may be), then the Company shall, within two (2) Business Days submit via email (a) the disputed arithmetic calculation of the Conversion Shares and the disputed determination of the Conversion Price to an independent, reputable investment bank selected by the Holder, with the consent of the Company (which may not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed), or (b) if acceptable to the Holder, the disputed arithmetic calculation of the Conversion Shares and the disputed determination of the Conversion Price to the Company’s independent, outside accountant.

Warrant To Purchase Ordinary Shares

 

Warrant No.: W20200724-0001 Issuance Date: July 24, 2020

 

Naked Brand Group Limited, an Australian company (the “Company”), hereby certifies that, for good and valuable consideration, the receipt and sufficiency of which are hereby acknowledged, Iliad Research and Trading, L.P., a Utah limited partnership, the registered holder hereof or its permitted assigns (the “Holder”), is entitled, subject to the terms set forth below, to purchase from the Company, at the Exercise Price (as defined below) then in effect, upon exercise of this Warrant to Purchase Ordinary Shares (including any Warrants to Purchase Ordinary Shares issued in exchange, transfer or replacement hereof, the “Warrant”), at any time or times on or after the Issuance Date, but not after 11:59 p.m., New York time, on the Expiration Date (as defined below), 19,136,364 fully paid and non-assessable Ordinary Shares (as defined below), subject to adjustment as provided herein (the “Warrant Shares”). This Warrant is one of the Warrants to purchase Ordinary Shares (the “SPA Warrants”), in the form set forth in Exhibit C to that certain Securities Purchase Agreement, dated as of July 24, 2020 (the “Securities Purchase Agreement”), by and among the Company and the investors listed on the Buyer Schedules thereto (the “Buyer” or “Buyers” as applicable), purchased by the initial Holder at the closing of the transactions contemplated by the Securities Purchase Agreement. Except as otherwise defined herein, capitalized terms in this Warrant shall have the meanings set forth in Section 16. Capitalized terms used herein and not otherwise defined herein shall have the respective meanings set forth in the Securities Purchase Agreement.

 

     

 

 

1. EXERCISE OF WARRANT.

 

(a) Mechanics of Exercise. Subject to the terms and conditions hereof (including, without limitation, the limitations set forth in Section 1(f)), this Warrant may be exercised by the Holder on any day on or after the Issuance Date in whole or in part, by delivery (whether via email or otherwise) of a written notice, in the form attached hereto as Exhibit A (the “Exercise Notice”), of the Holder’s election to exercise this Warrant. Within one (1) Trading Day following an exercise of this Warrant as aforesaid, the Holder shall deliver payment to the Company of an amount equal to the Exercise Price in effect on the date of such exercise multiplied by the number of Warrant Shares as to which this Warrant was so exercised (in respect of such specific exercise, the “Aggregate Exercise Price”) in cash or via wire transfer of immediately available funds if the Holder did not notify the Company in such Exercise Notice that such exercise was made pursuant to a Cashless Exercise (as defined in Section 1(d)). The Holder shall not be required to deliver the original of this Warrant in order to effect an exercise hereunder. Execution and delivery of an Exercise Notice with respect to less than all of the Warrant Shares shall have the same effect as cancellation of the original of this Warrant certificate and issuance of a new Warrant certificate evidencing the right to purchase the remaining number of Warrant Shares. Execution and delivery of an Exercise Notice for all of the then-remaining Warrant Shares shall have the same effect as cancellation of the original of this Warrant certificate after delivery of the Warrant Shares in accordance with the terms hereof. On or before the first (1st) Trading Day following the date on which the Company has received an Exercise Notice, the Company shall transmit by email an acknowledgment of confirmation of receipt of such Exercise Notice, in the form attached hereto as Exhibit B, to the Holder and the Company’s transfer agent (the “Transfer Agent”). On or before the third (3rd) Trading Day following the date on which the Company has received such Exercise Notice, the Company shall (i) provided that the Transfer Agent is participating in The Depository Trust Company (“DTC”) Fast Automated Securities Transfer Program (which the Company shall cause the Transfer Agent to do at Holder’s request) and provided the legends would be eligible to be removed from such Ordinary Shares pursuant to Section 5(d) of the Securities Purchase Agreement, upon the request of the Holder, credit such aggregate number of Ordinary Shares to which the Holder is entitled pursuant to such exercise to the Holder’s or its designee’s balance account with DTC through its Deposit/ Withdrawal at Custodian system, or (ii) if the Transfer Agent is not participating in the DTC Fast Automated Securities Transfer Program or the legends would not be eligible to be removed from such Ordinary Shares pursuant to Section 5(d) of the Securities Purchase Agreement, issue and deliver to the Holder or, at the Holder’s instruction pursuant to the Exercise Notice, the Holder’s agent or designee, in each case, sent by reputable overnight courier to the address as specified in the applicable Exercise Notice, a certificate, registered in the Company’s share register in the name of the Holder or its designee (as indicated in the applicable Exercise Notice), for the number of Ordinary Shares to which the Holder is entitled pursuant to such exercise. Upon delivery of an Exercise Notice, the Holder shall be deemed for all corporate purposes to have become the holder of record of the Warrant Shares with respect to which this Warrant has been exercised, irrespective of the date such Warrant Shares are credited to the Holder’s DTC account or the date of delivery of the certificates evidencing such Warrant Shares (as the case may be). If this Warrant is submitted in connection with any exercise pursuant to this Section 1(a) and the number of Warrant Shares represented by this Warrant submitted for exercise is greater than the number of Warrant Shares being acquired upon an exercise, then, at the request of the Holder and upon surrender hereof by the Holder at the principal office of the Company, the Company shall as soon as practicable and in no event later than three (3) Business Days after any exercise and at its own expense, issue and deliver to the Holder (or its designee) a new Warrant (in accordance with Section 7(d)) representing the right to purchase the number of Warrant Shares purchasable immediately prior to such exercise under this Warrant, less the number of Warrant Shares with respect to which this Warrant is exercised. No fractional Ordinary Shares are to be issued upon the exercise of this Warrant, but rather the number of Ordinary Shares to be issued shall be rounded up to the nearest whole number. The Company shall pay any and all taxes and fees which may be payable with respect to the issuance and delivery of Warrant Shares upon exercise of this Warrant.

 

  2  

 

 

(b) Exercise Price. For purposes of this Warrant, “Exercise Price” means $0.6707, subject to adjustment as provided herein.

 

(c) Company’s Failure to Timely Deliver Securities. To the extent permitted by law, the Company’s obligations to issue and deliver the Ordinary Shares upon exercise of the Warrant in accordance with the terms hereof are absolute and unconditional, irrespective of any action or inaction by the Holder to enforce the same, any waiver or consent with respect to any provision hereof, the recovery of any judgment against any person or any action to enforce the same, or any setoff, counterclaim, recoupment, limitation or termination, or any breach or alleged breach by the Holder or any other person of any obligation to the Company or any violation or alleged violation of law by the Holder or any other person, and irrespective of any other circumstance that might otherwise limit such obligation of the Company to the Holder in connection with the issuance of the Ordinary Shares. Nothing herein shall limit the Holder’s right to pursue any other remedies available to it hereunder, at law or in equity including, without limitation, a decree of specific performance and/or injunctive relief with respect to the Company’s failure to timely deliver the Ordinary Shares issuable upon exercise of this Warrant as required pursuant to the terms hereof.

 

(d) Cashless Exercise. Notwithstanding anything contained herein to the contrary (other than Section 1(f) below):

 

(i) at any time commencing on the earlier of (1) fifteen (15) days after the Initial Registration Statement has been declared effective by the SEC, or (2) the six-month anniversary of the Issuance Date, when the Exercise Price is higher than the previous day Closing Bid Price, the Holder may in its sole discretion (and without limiting the Holder’s rights and remedies contained herein or in any of the other Transaction Documents (as defined in the Securities Purchase Agreement)), exercise this Warrant in whole or in part and, in lieu of making the cash payment otherwise contemplated to be made to the Company upon such exercise in payment of the Aggregate Exercise Price, elect instead to receive upon such exercise the “Net Number” of Ordinary Shares determined according to the following formula:

 

Net Number = (A x B) / C

 

; and

 

  3  

 

 

(ii) at any time after the six-month anniversary of the Issuance Date, when the previous day Closing Bid Price is higher than the Exercise Price and there is no effective registration statement registering, or no current prospectus available for, the resale of the Warrant Shares by the Holder, the Holder may in its sole discretion (and without limiting the Holder’s rights and remedies contained herein or in any of the other Transaction Documents (as defined in the Securities Purchase Agreement)), exercise this Warrant in whole or in part and, in lieu of making the cash payment otherwise contemplated to be made to the Company upon such exercise in payment of the Aggregate Exercise Price, elect instead to receive upon such exercise the “Net Number” of Ordinary Shares determined according to the following formula

 

Net Number = (C - D) x A / C

 

(an exercise pursuant to either clause (i) or (ii), a “Cashless Exercise”). For purposes of the foregoing formulas:

 

  A= The total number of shares with respect to which this Warrant is then being exercised.
     
  B= The Black Scholes Value (as defined in Section 16 herein).
     
  C= The Closing Bid Price of the Ordinary Shares as of two (2) Trading Days prior to the time of such exercise (as such Closing Bid Price is defined in Section 16 herein), but in any event not less than $0.1118 (as may be adjusted for stock dividends, subdivisions, or combinations in the manner described in Section 2(a) herein).
     
  D= The Exercise Price, as adjusted hereunder.

 

(e) Disputes. In the case of a dispute as to the determination of the Exercise Price or the arithmetic calculation of the number of Warrant Shares to be issued pursuant to the terms hereof (including, without limitation, the Net Number), the Company shall promptly issue to the Holder the number of Warrant Shares that are not disputed, provided that following such issuance to Holder such dispute shall be resolved in accordance with Section 13.

 

(f) Limitations on Exercises and Exchanges. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Warrant, this Warrant shall not be exercisable or exchangeable by the Holder hereof to the extent (but only to the extent) that the Holder or any of its affiliates would beneficially own in excess of 9.9% of the number of Ordinary Shares outstanding after giving effect to the issuance of Ordinary Shares issuable upon exercise of the Warrants calculated in accordance with Section 13(d) of the Exchange Act (the “Maximum Percentage”). To the extent the above limitation applies, the determination of whether this Warrant shall be exercisable or exchangeable (vis-à-vis other convertible, exercisable or exchangeable securities owned by the Holder or any of its affiliates) and of which such securities shall be exercisable or exchangeable (as among all such securities owned by the Holder) shall, subject to such Maximum Percentage limitation, be determined on the basis of the first submission to the Company for conversion, exercise or exchange (as the case may be). No prior inability to exercise or exchange this Warrant pursuant to this paragraph shall have any effect on the applicability of the provisions of this paragraph with respect to any subsequent determination of exercisability or exchangeability. For the purposes of this paragraph, beneficial ownership and all determinations and calculations (including, without limitation, with respect to calculations of percentage ownership) shall be determined in accordance with Section 13(d) of the 1934 Act (as defined in the Securities Purchase Agreement) and the rules and regulations promulgated thereunder. The provisions of this paragraph shall be implemented in a manner otherwise than in strict conformity with the terms of this paragraph to correct this paragraph (or any portion hereof) which may be defective or inconsistent with the intended Maximum Percentage beneficial ownership limitation herein contained or to make changes or supplements necessary or desirable to properly give effect to such Maximum Percentage limitation. The limitations contained in this paragraph shall apply to a successor Holder of this Warrant. The holders of Ordinary Shares shall be third party beneficiaries of this paragraph and the Company may not waive this paragraph without the consent of holders of a majority of its Ordinary Shares. For any reason at any time, upon the written or oral request of the Holder, the Company shall within two (2) Business Days confirm orally and in writing to the Holder the number of Ordinary Shares then outstanding, including by virtue of any prior conversion or exercise or exchange of convertible or exercisable or exchangeable securities into Ordinary Shares, including, without limitation, pursuant to this Warrant or securities issued pursuant to the Securities Purchase Agreement.

 

  4  

 

 

(g) Reservation of Shares; Insufficient Authorized Shares. The Company shall initially reserve out of its authorized and unissued Ordinary Shares a number of Ordinary Shares equal to 200% of the maximum number of Warrant Shares issuable to satisfy the Company’s obligations to issue Ordinary Shares hereunder, and the Company shall at all times keep reserved for issuance under this Warrant a number of Ordinary Shares equal to 200% of the maximum number of Warrant Shares issuable to satisfy the Company’s obligation to issue Ordinary Shares hereunder.

 

(h) Activity Restrictions. For so long as Holder holds this Warrant or any Warrant Shares, Holder will not: (i) engage or participate in any actions, plans or proposals which relate to or would result in (a) acquiring additional securities of the Company, alone or together with any other Person, which would result in beneficially owning or controlling, or being deemed to beneficially own or control, more than 9.9% of the total outstanding Ordinary Shares or other voting securities of the Company, (b) an extraordinary corporate transaction, such as a merger, reorganization or liquidation, involving Company, (c) a sale or transfer of a material amount of assets of the Company, (d) any change in the present board of directors or management of the Company, including any plans or proposals to change the number or term of directors or to fill any existing vacancies on the board, (e) any material change in the present capitalization or dividend policy of the Company, (f) any other material change in the Company’s business or corporate structure, including but not limited to, if the Company is a registered closed-end investment company, any plans or proposals to make any changes in its investment policy for which a vote is required by Section 13 of the Investment Company Act of 1940, (g) changes in the Company’s charter, bylaws or instruments corresponding thereto or other actions which may impede the acquisition of control of the Company by any Person, (h) causing a class of securities of the Company to be delisted from a national securities exchange or to cease to be authorized to be quoted in an inter-dealer quotation system of a registered national securities association, (i) a class of equity securities of the Company becoming eligible for termination of registration pursuant to Section 12(g)(4) of the Act, or (j) any action, intention, plan or arrangement similar to any of those enumerated above, or (ii) request the Company or its directors, officers, employees, agents or representatives to amend or waive any provision of this Section 1(h); provided, however, that notwithstanding anything to the contrary contain in clauses (i) and (ii) above, Buyer may vote any Ordinary Shares owned or controlled by it, solicit any proxies, or seek to advise or influence any Person with respect to any voting securities of the Company.

Without limiting any provision of Section 4, if the Company, at any time on or after the date of the Securities Purchase Agreement, (i) pays a stock dividend on one or more classes of its then outstanding Ordinary Shares or otherwise makes a distribution on any class of capital stock that is payable in Ordinary Shares, (ii) subdivides (by any stock split, stock dividend, recapitalization or otherwise) one or more classes of its then outstanding Ordinary Shares into a larger number of shares or (iii) combines (by combination, reverse stock split or otherwise) one or more classes of its then outstanding Ordinary Shares into a smaller number of shares, then in each such case the Exercise Price shall be multiplied by a fraction of which the numerator shall be the number of Ordinary Shares outstanding immediately before such event and of which the denominator shall be the number of Ordinary Shares outstanding immediately after such event. Any adjustment made pursuant to clause (i) of this paragraph shall become effective immediately after the record date for the determination of shareholders entitled to receive such dividend or distribution, and any adjustment pursuant to clause (ii) or (iii) of this paragraph shall become effective immediately after the effective date of such subdivision or combination. If any event requiring an adjustment under this paragraph occurs during the period that an Exercise Price is calculated hereunder, then the calculation of such Exercise Price shall be adjusted appropriately to reflect such event.

 

(b) Calculations. All calculations under this Section 2 shall be made by rounding to the nearest 1/10000th of cent and the nearest 1/100th of a share, as applicable. The number of Ordinary Shares outstanding at any given time shall not include shares owned or held by or for the account of the Company, and the disposition of any such shares shall be considered an issue or sale of Ordinary Shares.

 

3. RIGHTS UPON DISTRIBUTION OF ASSETS. In addition to any adjustments pursuant to Section 2 above, if the Company shall declare or make any dividend or other distribution of its assets (or rights to acquire its assets) to holders of Ordinary Shares, by way of return of capital or otherwise (including, without limitation, any distribution of cash, stock or other securities, indebtedness, property or options by way of a dividend, spin off, reclassification, corporate rearrangement, scheme of arrangement or other similar transaction, other than a distribution of Ordinary Shares covered by Section 2(a)) (a “Distribution”), at any time after the issuance of this Warrant, then, in each such case, provision shall be made so that upon exercise of this Warrant, the Holder shall be entitled to participate in such Distribution to the same extent that the Holder would have participated therein if the Holder had held the number of Ordinary Shares acquirable upon complete exercise of this Warrant (without regard to any limitations on exercise hereof, including without limitation, the Maximum Percentage) immediately before the date on which a record is taken for such Distribution, or, if no such record is taken, the date as of which the record holders of Ordinary Shares are to be determined for the participation in such Distribution (provided, however, to the extent that the Holder’s right to participate in any such Distributions would result in the Holder exceeding the Maximum Percentage, then the Holder shall not be entitled to participate in such Distribution to such extent (or the beneficial ownership of any such Ordinary Shares as a result of such Distribution to such extent) and such Distribution to such extent shall be held in abeyance for the benefit of the Holder until such time, if ever, as its right thereto would not result in the Holder exceeding the Maximum Percentage).

4. PURCHASE RIGHTS; FUNDAMENTAL TRANSACTIONS.

 

(a) Purchase Rights. In addition to any adjustments pursuant to Section 2 above, if at any time the Company grants, issues or sells any Options, Convertible Securities (as defined in the Securities Purchase Agreement) or rights to purchase stock, warrants, securities or other property pro rata to the record holders of any class of Ordinary Shares (the “Purchase Rights”), then the Holder will be entitled to acquire, upon the terms applicable to such Purchase Rights, the aggregate Purchase Rights which the Holder could have acquired if the Holder had held the number of Ordinary Shares acquirable upon complete exercise of this Warrant (without regard to any limitations on exercise hereof, including without limitation, the Maximum Percentage) immediately before the date on which a record is taken for the grant, issuance or sale of such Purchase Rights, or, if no such record is taken, the date as of which the record holders of Ordinary Shares are to be determined for the grant, issue or sale of such Purchase Rights (provided, however, to the extent that the Holder’s right to participate in any such Purchase Right would result in the Holder exceeding the Maximum Percentage, then the Holder shall not be entitled to participate in such Purchase Right to such extent (or beneficial ownership of such Ordinary Shares as a result of such Purchase Right to such extent) and such Purchase Right to such extent shall be held in abeyance for the Holder until such time, if ever, as its right thereto would not result in the Holder exceeding the Maximum Percentage).

 

(b) Fundamental Transactions. The Company shall not enter into or be party to a Fundamental Transaction unless (i) the Successor Entity assumes in writing all of the obligations of the Company under this Warrant and the other Transaction Documents related to this Warrant in accordance with the provisions of this Section 4(b) pursuant to written agreements in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to the Holder, including agreements confirming the obligations of the Successor Entity as set forth in this paragraph (b) and (c) and elsewhere in this Warrant and an obligation to deliver to the Holder in exchange for this Warrant a security of the Successor Entity evidenced by a written instrument substantially similar in form and substance to this Warrant, including, without limitation, which is exercisable for a corresponding number of shares of capital stock equivalent to the Ordinary Shares acquirable and receivable upon exercise of this Warrant (without regard to any limitations on the exercise of this Warrant) prior to such Fundamental Transaction, and with an exercise price which applies the exercise price hereunder to such shares of capital stock (but taking into account the relative value of the Ordinary Shares pursuant to such Fundamental Transaction and the value of such shares of capital stock, such adjustments to the number of shares of capital stock and such exercise price being for the purpose of protecting the economic value of this Warrant immediately prior to the consummation of such Fundamental Transaction), and (ii) the shares of capital stock of the Successor Entity into which this Warrant is exercisable are listed on a Qualified Market (as defined in the Convertible Note). Notwithstanding the foregoing, at the election of the Holder upon exercise of this Warrant following a Fundamental Transaction, the Successor Entity shall deliver to the Holder, in lieu of the Ordinary Shares (or other securities, cash, assets or other property (except such items still issuable under Sections 3 and 4(a) above, which shall continue to be receivable thereafter)) issuable upon the exercise of this Warrant prior to the applicable Fundamental Transaction, such shares of common stock (or its equivalent) of the Successor Entity (including its Parent Entity), or other securities, cash, assets or other property, which the Holder would have been entitled to receive upon the happening of the applicable Fundamental Transaction had this Warrant been exercised immediately prior to the applicable Fundamental Transaction; provided, however, that such amount of reserved Ordinary Shares shall be limited by the Maximum Percentage of Ordinary Shares as set forth in Section 1(f).

 

  7  

 

 

(c) Black Scholes Value – FT. Notwithstanding the foregoing and the provisions of Section 4(b) above, at the request of the Holder delivered at any time commencing on the earliest to occur of (i) the public disclosure of any Fundamental Transaction, (ii) the consummation of any Fundamental Transaction and (iii) the Holder first becoming aware of any Fundamental Transaction through the date that is ninety (90) days after the public disclosure of the consummation of such Fundamental Transaction by the Company pursuant to a Current Report on Form 6-K filed with the SEC, the Company or the Successor Entity, at the election of the Holder, shall purchase this Warrant from the Holder on the date of the consummation of such Fundamental Transaction by paying to the Holder cash in an amount equal to the Black Scholes Value – FT.

 

(d) Application. The provisions of this Section 4 shall apply similarly and equally to successive Fundamental Transactions and shall be applied as if this Warrant (and any such subsequent warrants issued hereunder) were fully exercisable and without regard to any limitations on the exercise of this Warrant (provided that the Holder shall continue to be entitled to the benefit of the Maximum Percentage, applied however with respect to shares of capital stock registered under the 1934 Act and thereafter receivable upon exercise of this Warrant (or any such other warrant)).

 

5. NONCIRCUMVENTION. The Company hereby covenants and agrees that the Company will not, by amendment of its certificate of incorporation, bylaws or through any reorganization, transfer of assets, consolidation, merger, scheme of arrangement, 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 of this Warrant, and will at all times in good faith carry out all the provisions of this Warrant and take all action as may be required to protect the rights of the Holder. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the Company (i) shall not increase the par value of any Ordinary Shares receivable upon the exercise of this Warrant above the Exercise Price then in effect, (ii) shall take all such actions as may be necessary or appropriate in order that the Company may validly and legally issue fully paid and non-assessable Ordinary Shares upon the exercise of this Warrant, and (iii) shall, so long as any of the SPA Warrants are outstanding, take all action necessary to reserve and keep available out of its authorized and unissued Ordinary Shares, solely for the purpose of effecting the exercise of the SPA Warrants, the maximum number of Ordinary Shares as shall from time to time be necessary to effect the exercise of the SPA Warrants then outstanding; provided, however, that such amount of reserved Ordinary Shares shall be limited by the Maximum Percentage of Ordinary Shares as set forth in Section 1(f).

 

6. WARRANT HOLDER NOT DEEMED A SHAREHOLDER. Except as otherwise specifically provided herein, the Holder, solely in its capacity as a holder of this Warrant, shall not be entitled to vote or receive dividends or be deemed the holder of share capital of the Company for any purpose, nor shall anything contained in this Warrant be construed to confer upon the Holder, solely in its capacity as the Holder of this Warrant, any of the rights of a shareholder of the Company or any right to vote, give or withhold consent to any corporate action (whether any reorganization, issue of stock, reclassification of stock, consolidation, merger, conveyance or otherwise), receive notice of meetings, receive dividends or subscription rights, or otherwise, prior to the issuance to the Holder of the Warrant Shares which it is then entitled to receive upon the due exercise of this Warrant. In addition, nothing contained in this Warrant shall be construed as imposing any liabilities on the Holder to purchase any securities (upon exercise of this Warrant or otherwise) or as a shareholder of the Company, whether such liabilities are asserted by the Company or by creditors of the Company. Notwithstanding this Section 6, the Company shall provide the Holder with copies of the same notices and other information given to the shareholders of the Company generally, contemporaneously with the giving thereof to the shareholders.

Such investment bank’s or accountant’s determination or calculation (as the case may be) shall be binding upon all parties absent demonstrable error.

The Company shall provide all information and documentation to the Holder that is requested by the Holder to enable the Holder to confirm the Company’s compliance with the terms and conditions of this Warrant (including, without limitation, compliance with Section 2 hereof). The issuance of shares and certificates for shares as contemplated hereby upon the exercise of this Warrant shall be made without charge to the Holder or such shares for any issuance tax or other costs in respect thereof, provided that the Company shall not be required to pay any tax which may be payable in respect of any transfer involved in the issuance and delivery of any certificate in a name other than the Holder or its agent on its behalf.

Pre-Funded Warrant To Purchase Ordinary Shares

 

Warrant No.: PFW20200724-0001 Issuance Date: [•], 2020

 

Naked Brand Group Limited, an Australian company (the “Company”), hereby certifies that, for good and valuable consideration, the receipt and sufficiency of which are hereby acknowledged, Iliad Research and Trading, L.P., a Utah limited partnership, the registered holder hereof or its permitted assigns (the “Holder”), is entitled, subject to the terms set forth below, to purchase from the Company, at the Exercise Price (as defined below) then in effect, upon exercise of this Warrant to Purchase Ordinary Shares (including any Warrants to Purchase Ordinary Shares issued in exchange, transfer or replacement hereof, the “Warrant”), at any time or times on or after the Issuance Date, but not after 11:59 p.m., New York time, on the Expiration Date (as defined below), [●] fully paid and non-assessable Ordinary Shares (as defined below), subject to adjustment as provided herein (the “Warrant Shares”). This Warrant is one of the Warrants to purchase Ordinary Shares (the “SPA Warrants”), in the form set forth in Exhibit B to that certain Securities Purchase Agreement, dated as of July 24, 2020 (the “Securities Purchase Agreement”), by and among the Company and the investors listed on the Buyer Schedules thereto (the “Buyer” or “Buyers” as applicable), issued in lieu of Ordinary Shares otherwise issuable to the initial Holder upon conversion of Convertible Notes (as defined in the Securities Purchase Agreement) by such initial Holder, to the extent such conversion would have caused such initial Holder’s beneficial ownership of the Ordinary Shares of the Company to exceed the Maximum Percentage (as defined in the Convertible Notes). Except as otherwise defined herein, capitalized terms in this Warrant shall have the meanings set forth in Section 16. Capitalized terms used herein and not otherwise defined herein shall have the respective meanings set forth in the Securities Purchase Agreement.

 

 
 

 

1. EXERCISE OF WARRANT.

 

(a) Mechanics of Exercise. Subject to the terms and conditions hereof (including, without limitation, the limitations set forth in Section 1(f)), this Warrant may be exercised by the Holder on any day on or after the Issuance Date in whole or in part, by delivery (whether via facsimile or otherwise) of a written notice, in the form attached hereto as Exhibit A (the “Exercise Notice”), of the Holder’s election to exercise this Warrant. Within one (1) Trading Day following an exercise of this Warrant as aforesaid, the Holder shall deliver payment to the Company of an amount equal to the Exercise Price in effect on the date of such exercise multiplied by the number of Warrant Shares as to which this Warrant was so exercised (in respect of such specific exercise, the “Aggregate Exercise Price”) in cash or via wire transfer of immediately available funds if the Holder did not notify the Company in such Exercise Notice that such exercise was made pursuant to a Cashless Exercise (as defined in Section 1(d)). The Holder shall not be required to deliver the original of this Warrant in order to effect an exercise hereunder. Execution and delivery of an Exercise Notice with respect to less than all of the Warrant Shares shall have the same effect as cancellation of the original of this Warrant certificate and issuance of a new Warrant certificate evidencing the right to purchase the remaining number of Warrant Shares. Execution and delivery of an Exercise Notice for all of the then-remaining Warrant Shares shall have the same effect as cancellation of the original of this Warrant certificate after delivery of the Warrant Shares in accordance with the terms hereof. On or before the first (1st) Trading Day following the date on which the Company has received an Exercise Notice, the Company shall transmit by facsimile an acknowledgment of confirmation of receipt of such Exercise Notice, in the form attached hereto as Exhibit B, to the Holder and the Company’s transfer agent (the “Transfer Agent”). On or before the third (3rd) Trading Day following the date on which the Company has received such Exercise Notice, the Company shall (i) provided that the Transfer Agent is participating in The Depository Trust Company (“DTC”) Fast Automated Securities Transfer Program (which the Company shall cause the Transfer Agent to do at Holder’s request) and provided the legends would be eligible to be removed from such Ordinary Shares pursuant to Section 5(d) of the Securities Purchase Agreement, upon the request of the Holder, credit such aggregate number of Ordinary Shares to which the Holder is entitled pursuant to such exercise to the Holder’s or its designee’s balance account with DTC through its Deposit/ Withdrawal at Custodian system, or (ii) if the Transfer Agent is not participating in the DTC Fast Automated Securities Transfer Program or the legends would not be eligible to be removed from such Ordinary Shares pursuant to Section 5(d) of the Securities Purchase Agreement, issue and deliver to the Holder or, at the Holder’s instruction pursuant to the Exercise Notice, the Holder’s agent or designee, in each case, sent by reputable overnight courier to the address as specified in the applicable Exercise Notice, a certificate, registered in the Company’s share register in the name of the Holder or its designee (as indicated in the applicable Exercise Notice), for the number of Ordinary Shares to which the Holder is entitled pursuant to such exercise. Upon delivery of an Exercise Notice, the Holder shall be deemed for all corporate purposes to have become the holder of record of the Warrant Shares with respect to which this Warrant has been exercised, irrespective of the date such Warrant Shares are credited to the Holder’s DTC account or the date of delivery of the certificates evidencing such Warrant Shares (as the case may be). If this Warrant is submitted in connection with any exercise pursuant to this Section 1(a) and the number of Warrant Shares represented by this Warrant submitted for exercise is greater than the number of Warrant Shares being acquired upon an exercise, then, at the request of the Holder and upon surrender hereof by the Holder at the principal office of the Company, the Company shall as soon as practicable and in no event later than three (3) Business Days after any exercise and at its own expense, issue and deliver to the Holder (or its designee) a new Warrant (in accordance with Section 7(d)) representing the right to purchase the number of Warrant Shares purchasable immediately prior to such exercise under this Warrant, less the number of Warrant Shares with respect to which this Warrant is exercised. No fractional Ordinary Shares are to be issued upon the exercise of this Warrant, but rather the number of Ordinary Shares to be issued shall be rounded up to the nearest whole number. The Company shall pay any and all taxes and fees which may be payable with respect to the issuance and delivery of Warrant Shares upon exercise of this Warrant.

(b) Exercise Price. For purposes of this Warrant, “Exercise Price” means $0.0001, subject to adjustment as provided herein.

 

(c) Company’s Failure to Timely Deliver Securities. To the extent permitted by law, the Company’s obligations to issue and deliver the Ordinary Shares upon exercise of the Warrant in accordance with the terms hereof are absolute and unconditional, irrespective of any action or inaction by the Holder to enforce the same, any waiver or consent with respect to any provision hereof, the recovery of any judgment against any person or any action to enforce the same, or any setoff, counterclaim, recoupment, limitation or termination, or any breach or alleged breach by the Holder or any other person of any obligation to the Company or any violation or alleged violation of law by the Holder or any other person, and irrespective of any other circumstance that might otherwise limit such obligation of the Company to the Holder in connection with the issuance of the Ordinary Shares. Nothing herein shall limit the Holder’s right to pursue any other remedies available to it hereunder, at law or in equity including, without limitation, a decree of specific performance and/or injunctive relief with respect to the Company’s failure to timely deliver the Ordinary Shares issuable upon exercise of this Warrant as required pursuant to the terms hereof.

 

(d) Cashless Exercise. Notwithstanding anything contained herein to the contrary (other than Section 1(f) below), at any time after January 24, 2021, when the previous day Closing Bid Price is higher than the Exercise Price and there is no effective registration statement registering, or no current prospectus available for, the resale of the Warrant Shares by the Holder, the Holder may in its sole discretion (and without limiting the Holder’s rights and remedies contained herein or in any of the other Transaction Documents (as defined in the Securities Purchase Agreement)), exercise this Warrant in whole or in part and, in lieu of making the cash payment otherwise contemplated to be made to the Company upon such exercise in payment of the Aggregate Exercise Price, elect instead to receive upon such exercise the “Net Number” of Ordinary Shares determined according to the following formula

 

Net Number = (B - C) x A / B

 

(an exercise pursuant to clause (i), a “Cashless Exercise”). For purposes of the foregoing formula:

 

  A= The total number of shares with respect to which this Warrant is then being exercised.
     
  B= The Closing Bid Price of the Ordinary Shares as of two (2) Trading Days prior to the time of such exercise (as such Closing Bid Price is defined in Section 16 herein), but in any event not less than $0.1118 (as may be adjusted for stock dividends, subdivisions, or combinations in the manner described in Section 2(a) herein).
     
  C= The Exercise Price, as adjusted hereunder.

 

3
 

 

(e) Disputes. In the case of a dispute as to the determination of the Exercise Price or the arithmetic calculation of the number of Warrant Shares to be issued pursuant to the terms hereof (including, without limitation, the Net Number), the Company shall promptly issue to the Holder the number of Warrant Shares that are not disputed, provided that following such issuance to Holder such dispute shall be resolved in accordance with Section 13.

 

(f) Limitations on Exercises and Exchanges. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Warrant, this Warrant shall not be exercisable or exchangeable by the Holder hereof to the extent (but only to the extent) that the Holder or any of its affiliates would beneficially own in excess of 9.9% of the number of Ordinary Shares outstanding after giving effect to the issuance of Ordinary Shares issuable upon exercise of the Warrants calculated in accordance with Section 13(d) of the Exchange Act (the “Maximum Percentage”). To the extent the above limitation applies, the determination of whether this Warrant shall be exercisable or exchangeable (vis-à-vis other convertible, exercisable or exchangeable securities owned by the Holder or any of its affiliates) and of which such securities shall be exercisable or exchangeable (as among all such securities owned by the Holder) shall, subject to such Maximum Percentage limitation, be determined on the basis of the first submission to the Company for conversion, exercise or exchange (as the case may be). No prior inability to exercise or exchange this Warrant pursuant to this paragraph shall have any effect on the applicability of the provisions of this paragraph with respect to any subsequent determination of exercisability or exchangeability. For the purposes of this paragraph, beneficial ownership and all determinations and calculations (including, without limitation, with respect to calculations of percentage ownership) shall be determined in accordance with Section 13(d) of the 1934 Act (as defined in the Securities Purchase Agreement) and the rules and regulations promulgated thereunder. The provisions of this paragraph shall be implemented in a manner otherwise than in strict conformity with the terms of this paragraph to correct this paragraph (or any portion hereof) which may be defective or inconsistent with the intended Maximum Percentage beneficial ownership limitation herein contained or to make changes or supplements necessary or desirable to properly give effect to such Maximum Percentage limitation. The limitations contained in this paragraph shall apply to a successor Holder of this Warrant. The holders of Ordinary Shares shall be third party beneficiaries of this paragraph and the Company may not waive this paragraph without the consent of holders of a majority of its Ordinary Shares. For any reason at any time, upon the written or oral request of the Holder, the Company shall within two (2) Business Days confirm orally and in writing to the Holder the number of Ordinary Shares then outstanding, including by virtue of any prior conversion or exercise or exchange of convertible or exercisable or exchangeable securities into Ordinary Shares, including, without limitation, pursuant to this Warrant or securities issued pursuant to the Securities Purchase Agreement.

 

(g) Reservation of Shares; Insufficient Authorized Shares. The Company shall initially reserve out of its authorized and unissued Ordinary Shares a number of Ordinary Shares equal to 200% of the maximum number of Warrant Shares issuable to satisfy the Company’s obligations to issue Ordinary Shares hereunder, and the Company shall at all times keep reserved for issuance under this Warrant a number of Ordinary Shares equal to 200% of the maximum number of Warrant Shares issuable to satisfy the Company’s obligation to issue Ordinary Shares hereunder.

(h) Activity Restrictions. For so long as Holder holds this Warrant or any Warrant Shares, Holder will not: (i) engage or participate in any actions, plans or proposals which relate to or would result in (a) acquiring additional securities of the Company, alone or together with any other Person, which would result in beneficially owning or controlling, or being deemed to beneficially own or control, more than 9.9% of the total outstanding Ordinary Shares or other voting securities of the Company, (b) an extraordinary corporate transaction, such as a merger, reorganization or liquidation, involving Company, (c) a sale or transfer of a material amount of assets of the Company, (d) any change in the present board of directors or management of the Company, including any plans or proposals to change the number or term of directors or to fill any existing vacancies on the board, (e) any material change in the present capitalization or dividend policy of the Company, (f) any other material change in the Company’s business or corporate structure, including but not limited to, if the Company is a registered closed-end investment company, any plans or proposals to make any changes in its investment policy for which a vote is required by Section 13 of the Investment Company Act of 1940, (g) changes in the Company’s charter, bylaws or instruments corresponding thereto or other actions which may impede the acquisition of control of the Company by any Person, (h) causing a class of securities of the Company to be delisted from a national securities exchange or to cease to be authorized to be quoted in an inter-dealer quotation system of a registered national securities association, (i) a class of equity securities of the Company becoming eligible for termination of registration pursuant to Section 12(g)(4) of the Act, or (j) any action, intention, plan or arrangement similar to any of those enumerated above, or (ii) request the Company or its directors, officers, employees, agents or representatives to amend or waive any provision of this Section 1(h); provided, however, that notwithstanding anything to the contrary contain in clauses (i) and (ii) above, Buyer may vote any Ordinary Shares owned or controlled by it, solicit any proxies, or seek to advise or influence any Person with respect to any voting securities of the Company. Holder may only exercise this Warrant for a cash exercise price if the trading price at the time of exercise is greater than the then applicable Exercise Price.

 

2. ADJUSTMENT OF EXERCISE PRICE AND NUMBER OF WARRANT SHARES. The Exercise Price and number of Warrant Shares issuable upon exercise of this Warrant are subject to adjustment from time to time as set forth in this Section 2.

 

(a) Stock Dividends and Splits. Without limiting any provision of Section 4, if the Company, at any time on or after the date of the Securities Purchase Agreement, (i) pays a stock dividend on one or more classes of its then outstanding Ordinary Shares or otherwise makes a distribution on any class of capital stock that is payable in Ordinary Shares, (ii) subdivides (by any stock split, stock dividend, recapitalization or otherwise) one or more classes of its then outstanding Ordinary Shares into a larger number of shares or (iii) combines (by combination, reverse stock split or otherwise) one or more classes of its then outstanding Ordinary Shares into a smaller number of shares, then in each such case the Exercise Price shall be multiplied by a fraction of which the numerator shall be the number of Ordinary Shares outstanding immediately before such event and of which the denominator shall be the number of Ordinary Shares outstanding immediately after such event. Any adjustment made pursuant to clause (i) of this paragraph shall become effective immediately after the record date for the determination of shareholders entitled to receive such dividend or distribution, and any adjustment pursuant to clause (ii) or (iii) of this paragraph shall become effective immediately after the effective date of such subdivision or combination. If any event requiring an adjustment under this paragraph occurs during the period that an Exercise Price is calculated hereunder, then the calculation of such Exercise Price shall be adjusted appropriately to reflect such event. Simultaneously with any adjustment to the Exercise Price pursuant to this Section 2(a), the number of Warrant Shares that may be purchased upon exercise of this Warrant shall be increased or decreased proportionately, so that after such adjustment the aggregate Exercise Price payable hereunder for the adjusted number of Warrant Shares shall be the same as the aggregate Exercise Price in effect immediately prior to such adjustment (without regard to any limitations on exercise contained herein).

 

5
 

 

(b) Calculations. All calculations under this Section 2 shall be made by rounding to the nearest 1/10000th of cent and the nearest 1/100th of a share, as applicable. The number of Ordinary Shares outstanding at any given time shall not include shares owned or held by or for the account of the Company, and the disposition of any such shares shall be considered an issue or sale of Ordinary Shares.

 

3. RIGHTS UPON DISTRIBUTION OF ASSETS. In addition to any adjustments pursuant to Section 2 above, if the Company shall declare or make any dividend or other distribution of its assets (or rights to acquire its assets) to holders of Ordinary Shares, by way of return of capital or otherwise (including, without limitation, any distribution of cash, stock or other securities, indebtedness, property or options by way of a dividend, spin off, reclassification, corporate rearrangement, scheme of arrangement or other similar transaction, other than a distribution of Ordinary Shares covered by Section 2(a)) (a “Distribution”), at any time after the issuance of this Warrant, then, in each such case, provision shall be made so that upon exercise of this Warrant, the Holder shall be entitled to participate in such Distribution to the same extent that the Holder would have participated therein if the Holder had held the number of Ordinary Shares acquirable upon complete exercise of this Warrant (without regard to any limitations on exercise hereof, including without limitation, the Maximum Percentage) immediately before the date on which a record is taken for such Distribution, or, if no such record is taken, the date as of which the record holders of Ordinary Shares are to be determined for the participation in such Distribution (provided, however, to the extent that the Holder’s right to participate in any such Distributions would result in the Holder exceeding the Maximum Percentage, then the Holder shall not be entitled to participate in such Distribution to such extent (or the beneficial ownership of any such Ordinary Shares as a result of such Distribution to such extent) and such Distribution to such extent shall be held in abeyance for the benefit of the Holder until such time, if ever, as its right thereto would not result in the Holder exceeding the Maximum Percentage).

 

4. PURCHASE RIGHTS; FUNDAMENTAL TRANSACTIONS.

 

(a) Purchase Rights. In addition to any adjustments pursuant to Section 2 above, if at any time the Company grants, issues or sells any Options, Convertible Securities (as defined in the Securities Purchase Agreement) or rights to purchase stock, warrants, securities or other property pro rata to the record holders of any class of Ordinary Shares (the “Purchase Rights”), then the Holder will be entitled to acquire, upon the terms applicable to such Purchase Rights, the aggregate Purchase Rights which the Holder could have acquired if the Holder had held the number of Ordinary Shares acquirable upon complete exercise of this Warrant (without regard to any limitations on exercise hereof, including without limitation, the Maximum Percentage) immediately before the date on which a record is taken for the grant, issuance or sale of such Purchase Rights, or, if no such record is taken, the date as of which the record holders of Ordinary Shares are to be determined for the grant, issue or sale of such Purchase Rights (provided, however, to the extent that the Holder’s right to participate in any such Purchase Right would result in the Holder exceeding the Maximum Percentage, then the Holder shall not be entitled to participate in such Purchase Right to such extent (or beneficial ownership of such Ordinary Shares as a result of such Purchase Right to such extent) and such Purchase Right to such extent shall be held in abeyance for the Holder until such time, if ever, as its right thereto would not result in the Holder exceeding the Maximum Percentage).

 

6
 

 

(b) Fundamental Transactions. Upon exercise of this Warrant following a Fundamental Transaction, the Successor Entity shall deliver to the Holder, in lieu of the Ordinary Shares (or other securities, cash, assets or other property (except such items still issuable under Sections 3 and 4(a) above, which shall continue to be receivable thereafter)) issuable upon the exercise of this Warrant prior to the applicable Fundamental Transaction, or in addition thereto (if applicable), such shares of common stock (or its equivalent) of the Successor Entity (including its Parent Entity), or other securities, cash, assets or other property, which the Holder would have been entitled to receive upon the happening of the applicable Fundamental Transaction had this Warrant been exercised immediately prior to the applicable Fundamental Transaction.

 

(c) Application. The provisions of this Section 4 shall apply similarly and equally to successive Fundamental Transactions and shall be applied as if this Warrant (and any such subsequent warrants issued hereunder) were fully exercisable and without regard to any limitations on the exercise of this Warrant (provided that the Holder shall continue to be entitled to the benefit of the Maximum Percentage, applied however with respect to shares of capital stock registered under the 1934 Act and thereafter receivable upon exercise of this Warrant (or any such other warrant)).

 

5. NONCIRCUMVENTION. The Company hereby covenants and agrees that the Company will not, by amendment of its certificate of incorporation, bylaws or through any reorganization, transfer of assets, consolidation, merger, scheme of arrangement, 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 of this Warrant, and will at all times in good faith carry out all the provisions of this Warrant and take all action as may be required to protect the rights of the Holder. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the Company (i) shall not increase the par value of any Ordinary Shares receivable upon the exercise of this Warrant above the Exercise Price then in effect, (ii) shall take all such actions as may be necessary or appropriate in order that the Company may validly and legally issue fully paid and non-assessable Ordinary Shares upon the exercise of this Warrant, and (iii) shall, so long as any of the SPA Warrants are outstanding, take all action necessary to reserve and keep available out of its authorized and unissued Ordinary Shares, solely for the purpose of effecting the exercise of the SPA Warrants, the maximum number of Ordinary Shares as shall from time to time be necessary to effect the exercise of the SPA Warrants then outstanding; provided, however, that such amount of reserved Ordinary Shares shall be limited by the Maximum Percentage of Ordinary Shares as set forth in Section 1(f).

 

6. WARRANT HOLDER NOT DEEMED A SHAREHOLDER. Except as otherwise specifically provided herein, the Holder, solely in its capacity as a holder of this Warrant, shall not be entitled to vote or receive dividends or be deemed the holder of share capital of the Company for any purpose, nor shall anything contained in this Warrant be construed to confer upon the Holder, solely in its capacity as the Holder of this Warrant, any of the rights of a shareholder of the Company or any right to vote, give or withhold consent to any corporate action (whether any reorganization, issue of stock, reclassification of stock, consolidation, merger, conveyance or otherwise), receive notice of meetings, receive dividends or subscription rights, or otherwise, prior to the issuance to the Holder of the Warrant Shares which it is then entitled to receive upon the due exercise of this Warrant. In addition, nothing contained in this Warrant shall be construed as imposing any liabilities on the Holder to purchase any securities (upon exercise of this Warrant or otherwise) or as a shareholder of the Company, whether such liabilities are asserted by the Company or by creditors of the Company. Notwithstanding this Section 6, the Company shall provide the Holder with copies of the same notices and other information given to the shareholders of the Company generally, contemporaneously with the giving thereof to the shareholders.

7. REISSUANCE OF WARRANTS.

 

(a) Transfer of Warrant. If this Warrant is to be transferred, the Holder shall surrender this Warrant to the Company, whereupon the Company will forthwith issue and deliver upon the order of the Holder a new Warrant (in accordance with Section 7(d)), registered as the Holder may request, representing the right to purchase the number of Warrant Shares being transferred by the Holder and, if less than the total number of Warrant Shares then underlying this Warrant is being transferred, a new Warrant (in accordance with Section 7(d)) to the Holder representing the right to purchase the number of Warrant Shares not being transferred. If, at the time of the surrender of this Warrant in connection with any transfer of this Warrant, the transfer of this Warrant shall not be either (i) registered pursuant to an effective registration statement under the 1933 Act and under applicable state securities or blue sky laws or (ii) eligible for resale without volume or manner-of-sale restrictions or current public information requirements pursuant to Rule 144, the Company may require, as a condition of allowing such transfer, that the Holder or transferee of this Warrant, as the case may be, provide to the Company an opinion of counsel selected by the Holder and reasonably acceptable to the Company, the form and substance of which opinion shall be reasonably satisfactory to the Company, to the effect that such transfer does not require registration of such transferred securities under the 1933 Act.

 

(b) Lost, Stolen or Mutilated Warrant. Upon receipt by the Company of evidence reasonably satisfactory to the Company of the loss, theft, destruction or mutilation of this Warrant (as to which a written certification and the indemnification contemplated below shall suffice as such evidence), and, in the case of loss, theft or destruction, of any indemnification undertaking by the Holder to the Company in customary and reasonable form and, in the case of mutilation, upon surrender and cancellation of this Warrant, the Company shall execute and deliver to the Holder a new Warrant (in accordance with Section 7(d)) representing the right to purchase the Warrant Shares then underlying this Warrant.

 

(c) Exchangeable for Multiple Warrants. This Warrant is exchangeable, upon the surrender hereof by the Holder at the principal office of the Company, for a new Warrant or Warrants (in accordance with Section 7(d)) representing in the aggregate the right to purchase the number of Warrant Shares then underlying this Warrant, and each such new Warrant will represent the right to purchase such portion of such Warrant Shares as is designated by the Holder at the time of such surrender; provided, however, no warrants for fractional Ordinary Shares shall be given.

 

8
 

 

(d) Issuance of New Warrants. Whenever the Company is required to issue a new Warrant pursuant to the terms of this Warrant, such new Warrant (i) shall be of like tenor with this Warrant, (ii) shall represent, as indicated on the face of such new Warrant, the right to purchase the Warrant Shares then underlying this Warrant (or in the case of a new Warrant being issued pursuant to Section 7(a) or Section 7(c), the Warrant Shares designated by the Holder which, when added to the number of Ordinary Shares underlying the other new Warrants issued in connection with such issuance, does not exceed the number of Warrant Shares then underlying this Warrant), (iii) shall have an issuance date, as indicated on the face of such new Warrant which is the same as the Issuance Date, and (iv) shall have the same rights and conditions as this Warrant.

 

8. NOTICES. Whenever notice is required to be given under this Warrant, unless otherwise provided herein, such notice shall be given in accordance with Section 9(f) of the Securities Purchase Agreement. The Company shall provide the Holder with prompt written notice of all actions taken pursuant to this Warrant, including in reasonable detail a description of such action and the reason therefor. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the Company will give written notice to the Holder (i) as soon as practicable upon each adjustment of the Exercise Price and the number of Warrant Shares, setting forth in reasonable detail, and certifying, the calculation of such adjustment(s), (ii) at least fifteen (15) days prior to the date on which the Company closes its books or takes a record (A) with respect to any dividend or distribution upon the Ordinary Shares, or (B) for determining rights to vote with respect to any Fundamental Transaction, dissolution or liquidation, provided in each case that such information, and (iii) at least ten (10) Trading Days prior to the consummation of any Fundamental Transaction.

It is expressly understood and agreed that the time of execution specified by the Holder in each Exercise Notice shall be definitive and may not be disputed or challenged by the Company.

 

9. AMENDMENT AND WAIVER. Except as otherwise provided herein, the provisions of this Warrant (other than Section 1(f)) may be amended and the Company may take any action herein prohibited, or omit to perform any act herein required to be performed by it, only if the Company has obtained the written consent of the Holder. The Holder shall be entitled, at its option, to the benefit of any amendment of any other similar warrant issued under the Securities Purchase Agreement. No waiver shall be effective unless it is in writing and signed by an authorized representative of the waiving party.

 

10. SEVERABILITY. If any provision of this Warrant is prohibited by law or otherwise determined to be invalid or unenforceable by a court of competent jurisdiction, the provision that would otherwise be prohibited, invalid or unenforceable shall be deemed amended to apply to the broadest extent that it would be valid and enforceable, and the invalidity or unenforceability of such provision shall not affect the validity of the remaining provisions of this Warrant so long as this Warrant as so modified continues to express, without material change, the original intentions of the parties as to the subject matter hereof and the prohibited nature, invalidity or unenforceability of the provision(s) in question does not substantially impair the respective expectations or reciprocal obligations of the parties or the practical realization of the benefits that would otherwise be conferred upon the parties. The parties will endeavor in good faith negotiations to replace the prohibited, invalid or unenforceable provision(s) with a valid provision(s), the effect of which comes as close as possible to that of the prohibited, invalid or unenforceable provision(s).

11. GOVERNING LAW; ARBITRATION OF DISPUTES. This Warrant shall be governed by and construed and enforced in accordance with, and all questions concerning the construction, validity, interpretation and performance of this Warrant shall be governed by, the internal laws of the State of Utah, without giving effect to any choice of law or conflict of law provision or rule (whether of the State of Utah or any other jurisdiction) that would cause the application of the laws of any jurisdiction other than the State of Utah. The provisions set forth in the Securities Purchase Agreement to determine the proper venue for any disputes are incorporated herein by this reference. By its issuance or acceptance of this Warrant, each party agrees to be bound by the Arbitration Provisions (as defined in the Securities Purchase Agreement) set forth as an exhibit to the Securities Purchase Agreement. THE COMPANY HEREBY IRREVOCABLY WAIVES ANY RIGHT IT MAY HAVE TO, AND AGREES NOT TO REQUEST, A JURY TRIAL FOR THE ADJUDICATION OF ANY DISPUTE HEREUNDER OR IN CONNECTION WITH OR ARISING OUT OF THIS WARRANT OR ANY TRANSACTION CONTEMPLATED HEREBY.

 

12. CONSTRUCTION; HEADINGS. This Warrant shall be deemed to be jointly drafted by the Company and the Holder and shall not be construed against any Person as the drafter hereof. The headings of this Warrant are for convenience of reference and shall not form part of, or affect the interpretation of, this Warrant. Terms used in this Warrant but defined in the other Transaction Documents shall have the meanings ascribed to such terms on the Closing Date (as defined in the Securities Purchase Agreement) in such other Transaction Documents unless otherwise consented to in writing by the Holder.

 

13. DISPUTE RESOLUTION. In the case of a dispute as to the determination of the Exercise Price, the Closing Bid Price or fair market value or the arithmetic calculation of the Warrant Shares (as the case may be), the Company or the Holder (as the case may be) shall submit the disputed determinations or arithmetic calculations (as the case may be) via facsimile (i) within two (2) Business Days after receipt of the applicable notice giving rise to such dispute to the Company or the Holder (as the case may be) or (ii) if no notice gave rise to such dispute, at any time after the Holder or the Company (as the case may be) learned of the circumstances giving rise to such dispute. If the Holder and the Company are unable to agree upon such determination or calculation (as the case may be) of the Exercise Price, the Closing Bid Price or fair market value or the number of Warrant Shares (as the case may be) within three (3) Business Days of such disputed determination or arithmetic calculation being submitted to the Company or the Holder (as the case may be), then the Company shall, within two (2) Business Days submit via facsimile (a) the disputed arithmetic calculation of the Warrant Shares, the disputed determination of the Exercise Price, the Closing Bid Price or fair market value (as the case may be) to an independent, reputable investment bank selected by the Holder, with the consent of the Company (which may not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed), or (b) if acceptable to the Holder, the disputed arithmetic calculation of the Warrant Shares to the Company’s independent, outside accountant. The Company shall cause at its expense the investment bank or the accountant (as the case may be) to perform the determinations or calculations (as the case may be) and notify the Company and the Holder of the results no later than ten (10) Business Days from the time it receives such disputed determinations or calculations (as the case may be). Such investment bank’s or accountant’s determination or calculation (as the case may be) shall be binding upon all parties absent demonstrable error. The fees and expenses of such investment bank or accountant shall be borne by the parties in the same proportion as the respective amounts by which the investment bank’s or accountant’s determination differs from such party’s calculation.

14. REMEDIES, CHARACTERIZATION, OTHER OBLIGATIONS, BREACHES AND INJUNCTIVE RELIEF. The remedies provided in this Warrant shall be cumulative and in addition to all other remedies available under this Warrant and the other Transaction Documents, at law or in equity (including a decree of specific performance and/or other injunctive relief), and nothing herein shall limit the right of the Holder to pursue actual damages for any failure by the Company to comply with the terms of this Warrant. The Company covenants to the Holder that there shall be no characterization concerning this instrument other than as expressly provided herein. Amounts set forth or provided for herein with respect to payments, exercises and the like (and the computation thereof) shall be the amounts to be received by the Holder and shall not, except as expressly provided herein, be subject to any other obligation of the Company (or the performance thereof). The Company acknowledges that a breach by it of its obligations hereunder will cause irreparable harm to the Holder and that the remedy at law for any such breach may be inadequate. The Company therefore agrees that, in the event of any such breach or threatened breach, the holder of this Warrant shall be entitled, in addition to all other available remedies, to an injunction restraining any breach, without the necessity of showing economic loss and without any bond or other security being required. The Company shall provide all information and documentation to the Holder that is requested by the Holder to enable the Holder to confirm the Company’s compliance with the terms and conditions of this Warrant (including, without limitation, compliance with Section 2 hereof). The issuance of shares and certificates for shares as contemplated hereby upon the exercise of this Warrant shall be made without charge to the Holder or such shares for any issuance tax or other costs in respect thereof, provided that the Company shall not be required to pay any tax which may be payable in respect of any transfer involved in the issuance and delivery of any certificate in a name other than the Holder or its agent on its behalf.

E. The Convertible Notes, the Conversion Shares, the Warrants and the Warrant Shares are collectively referred to herein as the “Securities.”

 

 
 

 

AGREEMENT

 

NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the premises and the mutual covenants contained herein and for other good and valuable consideration, the receipt and sufficiency of which are hereby acknowledged, the Company and Buyers hereby agree as follows:

 

1. PURCHASE AND SALE OF CONVERTIBLE NOTES AND WARRANTS.

 

(a) Convertible Notes and Warrants.

 

Subject to the satisfaction (or waiver) of the conditions set forth in Sections 6 and 7 below, the Company shall issue and sell to Buyers, and Buyers shall purchase from the Company on the Closing Date (as defined below), Convertible Notes in original principal amounts as is set forth on the Buyer Schedules, along with Purchase Warrants to initially acquire up to the aggregate number of Warrant Shares as is set forth on the Buyer Schedules.

 

(b) Closing.

 

The date and time of the closing (the “Closing”) of the purchase of the Convertible Notes and the Warrants by each Buyer as contemplated by this Agreement shall be 9:00 a.m., New York City time, on July 24, 2020 (the “Closing Date”). As used herein “Business Day” means any day other than a Saturday, Sunday or other day on which commercial banks in New York, New York, Sydney, Australia or Auckland, New Zealand are authorized or required by law to remain closed.

 

(c) Purchase Price.

 

The aggregate purchase price for the Convertible Notes and the Purchase Warrants to be purchased by each Buyer (the applicable “Purchase Price”) shall be paid at the Closing and in the applicable amount as set forth on the applicable Buyer Schedule; provided, however, that the aggregate Purchase Price paid by all Buyers hereunder shall not exceed $8,000,000.00.

 

(d) Payment of Purchase Price; Delivery of Securities.

 

On the Closing Date, (i) each Buyer shall pay the applicable Purchase Price to the Company for the respective Securities to be issued and sold to each Buyer at the Closing, by wire transfer of immediately available funds in accordance with the Company’s written wire instructions and (ii) the Company shall issue to each Buyer the Convertible Notes (pursuant to which such Buyer initially shall have the right to acquire up to the aggregate number of Conversion Shares as is set forth on such Buyer Schedule in respect of such Convertible Notes) and the Purchase Warrants (pursuant to which such Buyer initially shall have the right to acquire up to the aggregate number of Warrant Shares as is set forth on such Buyer Schedule in respect of such Purchase Warrants) as set forth on the applicable Buyer Schedule, in all cases, duly executed on behalf of the Company and registered in the name of each Buyer or its designee, all as set forth on the Buyer Schedules.

 

(e) Beneficial Ownership Limitation.

 

The Company shall not issue and Buyers shall not accept any Ordinary Shares under the Transaction Documents, and Buyers shall not otherwise purchase Ordinary Shares or securities exercisable or exchangeable for or convertible into Ordinary Shares from any party, in the public market or otherwise, if such shares proposed to be sold or otherwise issued, or the Ordinary Shares proposed to be purchased or issuable upon exercise, exchange or conversion of the securities proposed to be purchased (after giving effect to any limitation on exercise, exchange or conversion therein), when aggregated with all other Ordinary Shares then owned beneficially (as calculated pursuant to Section 13(d) of the Exchange Act and Rule 13d-3 promulgated thereunder) by any Buyer and its affiliates, constitute more than 9.9% of the then issued and outstanding Ordinary Shares (the “Maximum Percentage”). The number of Ordinary Shares constituting the Maximum Percentage determination shall be appropriately adjusted for any stock dividend, stock split, reverse stock split or similar transaction. For the avoidance of doubt, subject to Section 1(f) below, any such Ordinary Shares that are determined at any time to cause any Buyer’s beneficial ownership of Ordinary Shares to exceed the Maximum Percentage upon issuance shall be issued to such Buyer at such later time to the extent such issuance would not cause such Buyer’s beneficial ownership of Ordinary Shares to exceed the Maximum Percentage.

 

  2  

 

 

(f) Pre-Funded Warrants.

 

To the extent that issuance of any number of Conversion Shares will cause any Buyer’s beneficial ownership of the Ordinary Shares to exceed the Maximum Percentage, the Company shall, in lieu of issuing such Conversion Shares that will cause such Buyer’s beneficial ownership of the Ordinary Shares to exceed the Maximum Percentage, issue to such Buyer Pre-Funded Warrants to acquire up to the aggregate number of Conversion Shares that would cause such Buyer’s beneficial ownership to exceed the Maximum Percentage. The Company shall also issue to such Buyer additional Pre-Funded Warrants in an amount equal in value to the aggregate exercise price of Pre-Funded Warrants issued pursuant to this section.

 

(g) Taxes.

 

The Company shall pay any and all transfer, stamp or similar taxes that may be payable with respect to the issuance and delivery of any Securities to the Buyers made under this Agreement or the other Transaction Documents (as defined below).

As of their respective dates, the SEC Documents complied in all material respects with the requirements of the 1934 Act and the rules and regulations of the SEC promulgated thereunder applicable to the SEC Documents, and none of the SEC Documents, at the time they were filed with the SEC, contained any untrue statement of a material fact or omitted to state a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary in order to make the statements therein, in the light of the circumstances under which they were made, not misleading.

There is no limit on the number of Ordinary Shares the Company is authorized to issue under its formation documents or applicable law. The Company has registered its Ordinary Shares under Section 12(b) of the 1934 Act, and is obligated to file reports pursuant to Section 13 or Section 15(d) of the 1934 Act. As of the date hereof, the authorized capital stock of the Company consists solely of (i) Ordinary Shares, of which 34,805,088 are issued and outstanding and approximately 23,900,000 are reserved for issuance pursuant to Convertible Securities (as defined below) (other than the Convertible Notes and Warrants), and (ii) preference shares, of which none are issued and outstanding. No Ordinary Shares are held in treasury. All of such outstanding shares are duly authorized and have been, or upon issuance will be, validly issued and are fully paid and non-assessable. Approximately 17,600 shares of the Company’s issued and outstanding Ordinary Shares, as of the date hereof, are owned by officers, directors and, to the best of the Company’s knowledge, other Persons who are “affiliates” (as defined in Rule 405 of the 1933 Act and calculated based on the assumption that only officers, directors and holders of at least 10% of the Company’s issued and outstanding Ordinary Shares are “affiliates” without conceding that any such Persons are “affiliates” for purposes of federal securities laws) of the Company. Except as disclosed in the SEC Documents or as otherwise disclosed to the Buyers in writing: (i) to the Company’s knowledge, no Person owns 10% or more of the Company’s issued and outstanding Ordinary Shares (calculated based on the assumption that all Convertible Securities, whether or not presently exercisable or convertible, have been fully exercised or converted (as the case may be) taking account of any limitations on exercise or conversion (including “blockers”) contained therein without conceding that such identified Person is a 10% stockholder for purposes of federal securities laws); (ii) the Company’s capital stock and the capital stock of its subsidiaries are not subject to preemptive rights or any other similar rights or any liens or encumbrances; (iii) there are no outstanding options, warrants, scrip, rights to subscribe to, calls or commitments of any character whatsoever relating to, or securities or rights convertible into, or exercisable or exchangeable for, any capital stock of the Company or any of its subsidiaries, or contracts, commitments, understandings or arrangements by which the Company or any of its subsidiaries is or may become bound to issue additional capital stock or options, warrants, scrip, rights to subscribe to, calls or commitments of any character whatsoever relating to, or securities or rights convertible into, or exercisable or exchangeable for, any capital stock of the Company or any of its subsidiaries, respectively (other than as may be issued from time to time under any equity incentive plan maintained); (iv) there are no outstanding debt securities, convertible notes, credit agreements, credit facilities or other agreements, documents or instruments evidencing Indebtedness of the Company or any of its subsidiaries or by which the Company or any of its subsidiaries is or may become bound; (v) there are no financing statements securing obligations in any amounts filed in connection with the Company or any of its subsidiaries; (vi) there are no agreements or arrangements under which the Company or any of its subsidiaries is obligated to register the sale of any of their securities under the 1933 Act (except pursuant to the Registration Rights Agreement or as set forth on Schedule 3(r)); (vii) there are no outstanding securities or instruments of the Company or any of its subsidiaries which contain any redemption or similar provisions, and there are no contracts, commitments, understandings or arrangements by which the Company or any of its subsidiaries is or may become bound to redeem a security of the Company or any of its subsidiaries; (viii) there are no securities or instruments containing anti-dilution or similar provisions that will be triggered by the issuance of the Securities; (ix) neither the Company nor any of its subsidiaries has stock appreciation rights or “phantom stock” plans or agreements or any similar plan or agreement; and (x) the Company does not have any liabilities or obligations required to be disclosed in the SEC Documents which are not so disclosed in the SEC Documents, other than those incurred in the ordinary course of the Company’s business and which do not and would not reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect. The SEC Documents contain true, correct and complete copies of the Company’s constitution, as amended and as in effect on the date, and the terms of all material securities convertible into, or exercisable or exchangeable for, Ordinary Shares and the material rights of the holders thereof. “Convertible Securities” means any capital stock or other security of the Company that is at any time and under any circumstances directly or indirectly convertible into, exercisable or exchangeable for, or which otherwise entitles the holder thereof to acquire, any capital stock or other security of the Company (including, without limitation, Ordinary Shares).

Except as disclosed in the SEC Documents, each of the Company and its subsidiaries (i) does not have any material outstanding Indebtedness or other material debt obligations, (ii) is not a party to any contract, agreement or instrument, the violation of which, or default under which, by the other party(ies) to such contract, agreement or instrument could reasonably be expected to result in a Material Adverse Effect, (iii) is not in violation of any term of, or in default under, any contract, agreement or instrument relating to any Indebtedness, except where such violations and defaults would not result, individually or in the aggregate, in a Material Adverse Effect, and (iv) is not a party to any contract, agreement or instrument relating to any Indebtedness, the performance of which, in the judgment of the Company’s officers, has or is expected to have a Material Adverse Effect. The Company has no current intention or expectation to file for reorganization or liquidation under the bankruptcy or reorganization laws of any jurisdiction. “Indebtedness” of any Person means, without duplication (A) all indebtedness for borrowed money, (B) all obligations issued, undertaken or assumed as the purchase price of property or assets, including indebtedness created or arising under any conditional sale or other title retention agreement, or incurred as financing, in either case with respect to any property or assets acquired with the proceeds of such indebtedness (even though the rights and remedies of the seller or bank under such agreement in the event of default are limited to repossession or sale of such property), other than trade payables entered into in the ordinary course of business, (C) all reimbursement or payment obligations with respect to letters of credit, surety bonds and other similar instruments, (D) all obligations evidenced by notes, bonds, debentures or similar instruments, (E) all monetary obligations under any leasing or similar arrangement which, in connection with generally accepted accounting principles, consistently applied for the periods covered thereby, is classified as a capital lease, (F) all indebtedness referred to in clauses (A) through (E) above secured by (or for which the holder of such Indebtedness has an existing right, contingent or otherwise, to be secured by) any mortgage, lien, pledge, charge, security interest or other encumbrance upon or in any material property or assets (including accounts and contract rights) owned by such Person, even though the Person has not assumed or become liable for the payment of such indebtedness, and (G) all Contingent Obligations in respect of indebtedness or obligations of others of the kinds referred to in clauses (A) through (F) above. “Contingent Obligation” means, as to any Person, any direct or indirect liability, contingent or otherwise, of that Person with respect to any indebtedness, lease, dividend or other obligation of another Person (other than a Subsidiary of the first Person) if the primary purpose or intent of the first Person, or the primary effect thereof, is to provide assurance to the obligee of such liability that such liability will be paid or discharged, or that any agreements relating thereto will be complied with, or that the holders of such liability will be protected (in whole or in part) against loss with respect thereto. “Person” means an individual, a limited liability company, a partnership, a joint venture, a corporation, a trust, an unincorporated organization, any other entity and a government or any department or agency thereof.

(t) Absence of Litigation.

 

Except as disclosed in the SEC Documents or as set forth in Schedule 3(t), there is no action, suit, proceeding, inquiry or investigation before or by the Principal Market, any court, public board, government agency, self-regulatory organization or body pending or, to the knowledge of the Company, threatened against or affecting the Company or any of its subsidiaries, the Ordinary Shares or any of the Company’s or its subsidiaries’ executive officers or directors which would be reasonably likely to adversely affect the transactions contemplated by this Agreement or would require disclosure in the SEC Documents. There has not been, and to the knowledge of the Company, there is not pending or contemplated, any investigation by the SEC involving the Company, any of its subsidiaries or any current or former director or officer of the Company or any of its subsidiaries. The SEC has not issued any stop order or other order suspending the effectiveness of any registration statement filed by the Company under the 1933 Act or the 1934 Act.

 

(u) Insurance.

 

The Company and each of its subsidiaries are insured by insurers of recognized financial responsibility against such losses and risks and in such amounts as management of the Company believes to be prudent and customary in the businesses in which the Company and its subsidiaries are engaged. Neither the Company nor any such subsidiary has been refused any insurance coverage sought or applied for, and the Company has no reason to believe that it will be unable to renew its existing insurance coverage as and when such coverage expires or to obtain similar coverage from similar insurers as may be necessary to continue its business at a cost that would not have a Material Adverse Effect.

 

(v) Employee Relations.

 

Neither the Company nor any of its subsidiaries is a party to any collective bargaining agreement nor does it employ any member of a union. No executive officer (as defined in Rule 501(f) promulgated under the 1933 Act) or other key employee of the Company or any of its subsidiaries has notified the Company or any such subsidiary that such officer intends to leave the Company or any such subsidiary or otherwise terminate such officer’s employment with the Company or any such subsidiary. To the knowledge of the Company, no executive officer or other key employee of the Company or any of its subsidiaries is, or is now expected to be, in violation of any material term of any employment contract, confidentiality, disclosure or proprietary information agreement, non-competition agreement, or any other contract or agreement or any restrictive covenant, and the continued employment of each such executive officer or other key employee (as the case may be) does not subject the Company or any of its subsidiaries to any liability with respect to any of the foregoing matters. The Company and its subsidiaries are in compliance with all federal, state, local and foreign laws and regulations respecting labor, employment and employment practices and benefits, terms and conditions of employment and wages and hours, except where failure to be in compliance would not, either individually or in the aggregate, reasonably be expected to result in a Material Adverse Effect.

(a) Register.

 

The Company shall maintain at its principal executive offices (or such other office or agency of the Company as it may designate by notice to each holder of Securities), a register for the Convertible Notes and the Warrants in which the Company shall record the name and address of the Person in whose name the Convertible Notes and the Warrants have been issued (including the name and address of each transferee) reflecting the principal amount of the Convertible Note and the Warrants held by such Person. The Company shall keep the register open and available at all times during business hours for inspection by each Buyer or its legal representatives.

 

(b) Transfer Agent Instructions.

 

The Company shall issue irrevocable instructions to its transfer agent and any subsequent transfer agent in a form acceptable to each Buyer to issue certificates or credit shares to the applicable balance accounts at The Depository Trust Company (“DTC”), registered in the name of such Buyer or its respective nominee(s), for the Conversion Shares and the Warrant Shares in such amounts as specified from time to time by such Buyer to the Company, and confirmed by the Company, upon the conversion of the Convertible Notes or the exercise of the Warrants (as the case may be). The Company represents and warrants that no instruction other than such irrevocable transfer agent instructions referred to in this Section 5(b), and stop transfer instructions to give effect to 2(g) hereof, will be given by the Company to its transfer agent with respect to the Securities, and that the Securities shall otherwise be freely transferable on the books and records of the Company, as applicable, to the extent provided in this Agreement and the other Transaction Documents. If any Buyer effects a sale, assignment or transfer of the Securities in accordance with Section 2(g), the Company shall permit the transfer and shall promptly instruct its transfer agent to issue one or more certificates or credit shares to the applicable balance accounts at DTC in such name and in such denominations as specified by such Buyer to effect such sale, transfer or assignment. In the event that such sale, assignment or transfer involves Conversion Shares or Warrant Shares sold, assigned or transferred pursuant to an effective registration statement or in compliance with Rule 144 or another exemption from registration, the transfer agent shall issue such shares to such Buyer, assignee or transferee (as the case may be) without any restrictive legend in accordance with Section 5(d) below. The Company acknowledges that a breach by it of its obligations hereunder will cause irreparable harm to each Buyer. Accordingly, the Company acknowledges that the remedy at law for a breach of its obligations under this Section 5(b) will be inadequate and agrees, in the event of a breach or threatened breach by the Company of the provisions of this Section 5(b), that each Buyer shall be entitled, in addition to all other available remedies, to an order and/or injunction restraining any breach and requiring immediate issuance and transfer, without the necessity of showing economic loss and without any bond or other security being required. The Company shall cause its counsel to issue the legal opinion referred to in the irrevocable transfer agent instructions to the Company’s transfer agent on the Effective Date (as defined in the Registration Rights Agreement). Any fees (with respect to the transfer agent, counsel to the Company or otherwise) associated with the issuance of such opinion or the removal of any legends on any of the Securities shall be borne by the Company.

 

  29  

 

 

(c) Legends.

 

Each Buyer understands that the Securities have been issued (or will be issued in the case of the Conversion Shares and Warrant Shares) pursuant to an exemption from registration or qualification under the 1933 Act and applicable state securities laws, and except as set forth below, the Securities shall bear any legend as required by the “blue sky” laws of any state and a restrictive legend in substantially the following form (and a stop-transfer order may be placed against transfer of such stock certificates):

 

[NEITHER THE ISSUANCE AND SALE OF THE SECURITIES REPRESENTED BY THIS CERTIFICATE NOR THE SECURITIES INTO WHICH THESE SECURITIES ARE EXERCISABLE HAVE BEEN][THE SECURITIES REPRESENTED BY THIS CERTIFICATE HAVE NOT BEEN] REGISTERED UNDER THE SECURITIES ACT OF 1933, AS AMENDED, OR APPLICABLE STATE SECURITIES LAWS. THE 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 TO THE HOLDER (IF REQUESTED BY THE COMPANY), IN A FORM REASONABLY ACCEPTABLE TO THE COMPANY, THAT REGISTRATION IS NOT REQUIRED UNDER SAID ACT OR (II) UNLESS SOLD OR ELIGIBLE TO BE SOLD PURSUANT TO RULE 144 OR RULE 144A 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.

 

  30  

 

 

(d) Removal of Legends.

 

Certificates evidencing Securities shall not be required to contain the legend set forth in Section 5(c) above or any other legend (i) while a registration statement (including a Registration Statement) covering the resale of such Securities is effective under the 1933 Act (provided that each Buyer provides the Company with any certificates from such Buyer or its broker reasonably required by the Company’s transfer agent), (ii) following any sale of such Securities pursuant to Rule 144 (assuming the transferor is not an affiliate of the Company) or a registration statement, (iii) if such Securities are eligible to be sold, assigned or transferred under Rule 144 without current public information being available (provided that each Buyer provides the Company with reasonable assurances that such Securities are eligible for sale, assignment or transfer under Rule 144, which shall not include an opinion of counsel, but which may include any certificates from such Buyer or its broker reasonably required by the Company’s transfer agent), (iv) in connection with a sale, assignment or other transfer (other than under Rule 144), provided that each Buyer provides the Company with an opinion of counsel to such Buyer from reputable counsel to the effect that such sale, assignment or transfer of the Securities may be made without registration under the applicable requirements of the 1933 Act or (v) if such legend is not required under applicable requirements of the 1933 Act (including, without limitation, controlling judicial interpretations and pronouncements issued by the SEC). If a legend is not required pursuant to the foregoing, the Company shall no later than two (5) Trading Days following either (x) the delivery by any Buyer to the Company or the transfer agent (with notice to the Company) of a legended certificate representing such Securities (endorsed or with stock powers attached, signatures guaranteed, and otherwise in form necessary to affect the reissuance and/or transfer, if applicable), or (y) the delivery by any Buyer to the Company of a notice of exercise or conversion, in each case, together with any other deliveries from such Buyer as may be required above in this Section 5(d), as directed by such Buyer, either: (A) provided that the Company’s transfer agent is participating in the DTC Fast Automated Securities Transfer Program and such Securities are Warrant Shares, credit the aggregate number of Ordinary Shares to which each Buyer shall be entitled to such Buyer’s or its designee’s balance account with DTC through its Deposit/Withdrawal at Custodian system or (B) if the Company’s transfer agent is not participating in the DTC Fast Automated Securities Transfer Program, issue and deliver (via reputable overnight courier) to such Buyer, a certificate representing such Securities that is free from all restrictive and other legends, registered in the name of such Buyer or its designee (the date by which such credit is so required to be made to the balance account of such Buyer’s or Buyer’s nominee with DTC or such certificate is required to be delivered to such Buyer pursuant to the foregoing is referred to herein as the “Required Delivery Date”). “Trading Day” means, as applicable, (x) with respect to all price determinations relating to the Ordinary Shares, any day on which the Ordinary Shares is traded on the Principal Market, or, if the Principal Market is not the principal trading market for the Ordinary Shares, then on the principal securities exchange or securities market on which the Ordinary Shares is then traded, provided that “Trading Day” shall not include any day on which the Ordinary Shares is scheduled to trade on such exchange or market for less than 4.5 hours or any day that the Ordinary Shares is suspended from trading during the final hour of trading on such exchange or market (or if such exchange or market does not designate in advance the closing time of trading on such exchange or market, then during the hour ending at 4:00:00 p.m., New York time) unless such day is otherwise designated as a Trading Day in writing by the Buyer or (y) with respect to all determinations other than price determinations relating to the Ordinary Shares, any day on which The New York Stock Exchange (or any successor thereto) is open for trading of securities.

 

  31  

 

 

(e) Failure to Timely Deliver; Buy-In.

 

If the Company fails to issue and deliver (or cause to be delivered) to any Buyer by the Required Delivery Date a certificate representing the Securities so delivered to the Company by such Buyer that is free from all restrictive and other legends or credit the balance account of such Buyer’s or Buyer’s nominee with DTC for such number of Securities so delivered to the Company, then, in addition to all other remedies available to such Buyer, at the sole discretion of such Buyer, the Company shall:

 

(i) pay in cash to such Buyer on each Trading Day after the Required Delivery Date that the issuance or credit of such shares is not timely effected an amount equal to 1% of the product of (A) the number of Ordinary Shares not so delivered or credited (as the case may be) to such Buyer or Buyer’s nominee multiplied by (B) the Closing Sale Price (as defined in the Warrants) of the Ordinary Shares on the Trading Day immediately preceding the Required Delivery Date; or

 

(ii) if on or after the Required Delivery Date, such Buyer (or any other Person in respect, or on behalf, of such Buyer) purchases (in an open market transaction or otherwise) Ordinary Shares to deliver in satisfaction of a sale by such Buyer of all or any portion of the number of Ordinary Shares, or a sale of a number of Ordinary Shares equal to all or any portion of the number of Ordinary Shares, that such Buyer so anticipated receiving from the Company without any restrictive legend, then, within five (5) Trading Days after such Buyer’s request, promptly honor its obligation to so deliver to such Buyer a certificate or certificates or credit such Buyer’s DTC account representing such number of Ordinary Shares that would have been so delivered if the Company timely complied with its obligations hereunder and pay cash to such Buyer in an amount equal to the excess (if any) of such Buyer’s total purchase price (including brokerage commissions and other out-of-pocket expenses, if any) for the Ordinary Shares so purchased, over the product of (1) such number of Ordinary Shares that the Company was required to deliver to such Buyer by the Required Delivery Date multiplied by (2) the lowest Closing Sale Price of the Ordinary Shares on any Trading Day during the period commencing on the date of the delivery by such Buyer to the Company of the applicable certificate (or notice of exercise or conversion) and ending on the date of such delivery and payment under this clause (ii).

 

(f) Manner of Sale.

 

Each Buyer, severally and not jointly with the other Buyers, agrees with the Company that such Buyer will sell any Securities pursuant to either the registration requirements of the 1933 Act, including any applicable prospectus delivery requirements, or an exemption therefrom, and that if Securities are sold pursuant to a registration statement, they will be sold in compliance with the plan of distribution set forth therein substantially in the form set forth in Exhibit B to the Registration Rights Agreement, and acknowledges that the removal of the restrictive legend from certificates representing Securities as set forth in this Section 5 is predicated upon the Company’s reliance upon this understanding.

 

  32

(v) Each and every representation and warranty of the Company shall be true and correct in all material respects as of the date when made and as of the Closing Date as though originally made at that time (except for representations and warranties that speak as of a specific date, which shall be true and correct in all material respects as of such date) and the Company shall have performed, satisfied and complied in all material respects with the covenants, agreements and conditions required to be performed, satisfied or complied with by the Company at or prior to the Closing Date, including, without limitation the issuance of all Securities prior to the date of such Closing as required by the Transaction Documents and the Company has a sufficient number of duly authorized Ordinary Shares reserved for issuance as may be required to fulfill its obligations pursuant to the Transaction Documents.

Notwithstanding anything to the contrary above, nothing contained in this Section 8 shall be deemed to release any party from any liability for any breach by such party of the terms and provisions of this Agreement or the other Transaction Documents or to impair the right of any party to compel specific performance by any other party of its obligations under this Agreement or the other Transaction Documents.

 

9. MISCELLANEOUS.

 

(a) Arbitration of Claims; Governing Law; Jurisdiction; Jury Trial.

 

The parties shall submit all Claims (as defined in Exhibit F) arising under this Agreement or any other Transaction Document or any other agreement between the parties and their affiliates to binding arbitration pursuant to the arbitration provisions set forth in Exhibit F attached hereto (the “Arbitration Provisions”) and the International Dispute Resolution Procedures (the “IDR Procedures”) established by the International Centre for Dispute Resolution (“ICDR”), the international division of the American Arbitration Association. In the event of any conflict between or among the Arbitration Provisions and those of the ICDR, the Arbitration Provisions shall prevail. For the avoidance of doubt, the parties agree that the injunction described below may be pursued in an arbitration that is separate and apart from any other arbitration regarding all other Claims arising under the Transaction Documents. The parties hereby acknowledge and agree that the Arbitration Provisions are binding on the parties hereto and are severable from all other provisions of this Agreement. By executing this Agreement, the Company represents, warrants and covenants that the Company has reviewed the Arbitration Provisions carefully, consulted with legal counsel about such provisions (or waived its right to do so), understands that the Arbitration Provisions are intended to allow for the expeditious and efficient resolution of any dispute hereunder, and agrees to the terms and limitations set forth in the Arbitration Provisions. The Company acknowledges and agrees that the Buyers may rely upon the foregoing representations and covenants of the Company regarding the Arbitration Provisions.

 

  35  

 

 

This Agreement and all other Transaction Documents shall be construed and enforced in accordance with, and all questions concerning the construction, validity, interpretation and performance of this Agreement and each of the other Transaction Documents shall be governed by, the internal laws of the State of Utah, without giving effect to any choice of law or conflict of law provision or rule (whether of the State of Utah or any other jurisdiction) that would cause the application of the laws of any jurisdiction other than the State of Utah. Each party consents to and expressly agrees that the exclusive venue for arbitration of any dispute arising out of or relating to any Transaction Document or the relationship of the parties or their affiliates shall be in Salt Lake County, Utah. Without modifying the parties’ obligations to resolve disputes hereunder pursuant to the Arbitration Provisions, for any litigation arising in connection with any of the Transaction Documents, each party hereto hereby (i) consents to and expressly submits to the exclusive personal jurisdiction of any state or federal court sitting in Salt Lake County, Utah, (ii) expressly submits to the exclusive venue of any such court for the purposes hereof, (iii) agrees to not bring any such action outside of any state or federal court sitting in Salt Lake County, Utah, and (iv) waives any claim of improper venue and any claim or objection that such courts are an inconvenient forum or any other claim, defense or objection to the bringing of any such proceeding in such jurisdiction or to any claim that such venue of the suit, action or proceeding is improper. Finally, the Company covenants and agrees to name Iliad as a party in interest in, and provide written notice to Iliad in accordance with Section 9(f) below prior to bringing or filing, any action (including without limitation any filing or action against any person or entity that is not a party to this Agreement, including without limitation the Company’s transfer agent) that is related in any way to the Transaction Documents or any transaction contemplated herein or therein, including without limitation any action brought by the Company to enjoin or prevent the issuance of any Ordinary Shares to Iliad by the Company’s transfer agent, and further agrees to timely name Iliad as a party to any such action. The Company acknowledges that the governing law and venue provisions set forth in this Section are material terms to induce Iliad to enter into the Transaction Documents and that but for the Company’s agreements set forth in this Section Iliad would not have entered into the Transaction Documents. EACH PARTY HEREBY IRREVOCABLY WAIVES ANY RIGHT IT MAY HAVE TO, AND AGREES NOT TO REQUEST, A JURY TRIAL FOR THE ADJUDICATION OF ANY DISPUTE HEREUNDER OR IN CONNECTION WITH OR ARISING OUT OF THIS AGREEMENT OR ANY TRANSACTION CONTEMPLATED HEREBY.

 

  36  

 

 

(b) Counterparts.

 

This Agreement may be executed in two or more identical counterparts, all of which shall be considered one and the same agreement and shall become effective when counterparts have been signed by each party and delivered to the other party. In the event that any signature is delivered by facsimile transmission or by an e-mail which contains a portable document format (.pdf) file of an executed signature page, such signature page shall create a valid and binding obligation of the party executing (or on whose behalf such signature is executed) with the same force and effect as if such signature page were an original thereof.

 

(c) Headings; Gender.

 

The headings of this Agreement are for convenience of reference and shall not form part of, or affect the interpretation of, this Agreement. Unless the context clearly indicates otherwise, each pronoun herein shall be deemed to include the masculine, feminine, neuter, singular and plural forms thereof. The terms “including,” “includes,” “include” and words of like import shall be construed broadly as if followed by the words “without limitation.” The terms “herein,” “hereunder,” “hereof” and words of like import refer to this entire Agreement instead of just the provision in which they are found.

 

(d) Severability.

 

If any provision of this Agreement is prohibited by law or otherwise determined to be invalid or unenforceable by a court of competent jurisdiction, the provision that would otherwise be prohibited, invalid or unenforceable shall be deemed amended to apply to the broadest extent that it would be valid and enforceable, and the invalidity or unenforceability of such provision shall not affect the validity of the remaining provisions of this Agreement so long as this Agreement as so modified continues to express, without material change, the original intentions of the parties as to the subject matter hereof and the prohibited nature, invalidity or unenforceability of the provision(s) in question does not substantially impair the respective expectations or reciprocal obligations of the parties or the practical realization of the benefits that would otherwise be conferred upon the parties. The parties will endeavor in good faith negotiations to replace the prohibited, invalid or unenforceable provision(s) with a valid provision(s), the effect of which comes as close as possible to that of the prohibited, invalid or unenforceable provision(s).

 

(e) Entire Agreement; Amendments.

 

This Agreement, the other Transaction Documents and the schedules and exhibits attached hereto and thereto and the instruments referenced herein and therein supersede all other prior oral or written agreements between the Buyers, the Company, its affiliates and Persons acting on its behalf solely with respect to the matters contained herein and therein, and this Agreement, the other Transaction Documents, the schedules and exhibits attached hereto and thereto and the instruments referenced herein and therein contain the entire understanding of the parties solely with respect to the matters covered herein and therein. Except as specifically set forth herein or therein, neither the Company nor any Buyer makes any representation, warranty, covenant or undertaking with respect to such matters. For clarification purposes, the Recitals are part of this Agreement. No provision of this Agreement may be amended other than by an instrument in writing signed by the Company and each Buyer. No waiver shall be effective unless it is in writing and signed by an authorized representative of the waiving party. No consideration shall be offered or paid to any Person to amend or consent to a waiver or modification of any provision of any of the Transaction Documents unless the same consideration also is offered to all of the parties to the Transaction Documents or all holders of the Warrants (as the case may be). The Company has not, directly or indirectly, made any agreements with any Buyer relating to the terms or conditions of the transactions contemplated by the Transaction Documents except as set forth in the Transaction Documents. Without limiting the foregoing, the Company confirms that, except as set forth in this Agreement, no Buyer has made any commitment or promise or has any other obligation to provide any financing to the Company or otherwise. As a material inducement for each Buyer to enter into this Agreement, the Company expressly acknowledges and agrees that (i) no due diligence or other investigation or inquiry conducted by any Buyer, any of its advisors or any of its representatives shall affect such Buyer’s right to rely on, or shall modify or qualify in any manner or be an exception to any of, the Company’s representations and warranties contained in this Agreement or any other Transaction Document and (ii) unless a provision of this Agreement or any other Transaction Document is expressly preceded by the phrase “except as disclosed in the SEC Documents,” nothing contained in any of the SEC Documents shall affect any Buyer’s right to rely on, or shall modify or qualify in any manner or be an exception to any of, the Company’s representations and warranties contained in this Agreement or any other Transaction Document.

To the extent that the foregoing undertaking by the Company may be unenforceable for any reason, the Company shall make the maximum contribution to the payment and satisfaction of each of the Indemnified Liabilities which is permissible under applicable law.

(ii) Promptly after receipt by an Indemnitee under this Section 9(k) of notice of the commencement of any action or proceeding (including any governmental action or proceeding) involving an Indemnified Liability, such Indemnitee shall, if a claim in respect thereof is to be made against the Company under this Section 9(k), deliver to the Company a written notice of the commencement thereof, and the Company shall have the right to participate in, and, to the extent the Company so desires, to assume control of the defense thereof with counsel mutually satisfactory to the Company and the Indemnitee; provided, however, that an Indemnitee shall have the right to retain its own counsel with the fees and expenses of such counsel to be paid by the Company if: (i) the Company has agreed in writing to pay such fees and expenses; (ii) the Company shall have failed promptly to assume the defense of such Indemnified Liability and to employ counsel reasonably satisfactory to such Indemnitee in any such Indemnified Liability; or (iii) the named parties to any such Indemnified Liability (including any impleaded parties) include both such Indemnitee and the Company, and such Indemnitee shall have been advised by counsel that a conflict of interest is likely to exist if the same counsel were to represent such Indemnitee and the Company (in which case, if such Indemnitee notifies the Company in writing that it elects to employ separate counsel at the expense of the Company, then the Company shall not have the right to assume the defense thereof and such counsel shall be at the expense of the Company), provided further, that in the case of clause (iii) above the Company shall not be responsible for the reasonable fees and expenses of more than one (1) separate legal counsel for such Indemnitee. The Indemnitee shall reasonably cooperate with the Company in connection with any negotiation or defense of any such action or Indemnified Liability by the Company and shall furnish to the Company all information reasonably available to the Indemnitee which relates to such action or Indemnified Liability. The Company shall keep the Indemnitee reasonably apprised at all times as to the status of the defense or any settlement negotiations with respect thereto. The Company shall not be liable for any settlement of any action, claim or proceeding effected without its prior written consent, provided, however, that the Company shall not unreasonably withhold, delay or condition its consent. The Company shall not, without the prior written consent of the Indemnitee, consent to entry of any judgment or enter into any settlement or other compromise which does not include as an unconditional term thereof the giving by the claimant or plaintiff to such Indemnitee of a release from all liability in respect to such Indemnified Liability or litigation, and such settlement shall not include any admission as to fault on the part of the Indemnitee. Following indemnification as provided for hereunder, the Company shall be subrogated to all rights of the Indemnitee with respect to all third parties, firms or corporations relating to the matter for which indemnification has been made. The failure to deliver written notice to the Company within a reasonable time of the commencement of any such action shall not relieve the Company of any liability to the Indemnitee under this Section 9(k), except to the extent that the Company is materially and adversely prejudiced in its ability to defend such action.

 

(iii) The indemnification required by this Section 9(k) 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 Indemnified Liabilities are incurred.

 

(iv) Notwithstanding any provision in this Agreement or any other Transaction Documents, the aggregate indemnification obligations of the Company pursuant to this Section 9(k) shall not exceed 100% of the aggregate Purchase Price actually paid by the Buyers.

 

  41  

 

 

(v) The sole and exclusive remedies for any breach of any representation, warranty, covenant or agreement hereunder shall be the indemnification provided by this Section 9(k), and each Buyer expressly waives any other rights or remedies it may have; provided however, that equitable relief, including remedies of specific performance and injunction, shall be available with respect to any matter where money damages would not be sufficient to compensate any Buyer or to preserve the rights of such Buyer pending resolution of a dispute, and this Section 9(k) shall not relieve the Company from liability for willful misconduct, gross negligence, bad faith, fraud or willful breach of any of its representations, warranties, covenants or agreements set forth in this Agreement.

 

(l) Construction.

 

The language used in this Agreement will be deemed to be the language chosen by the parties to express their mutual intent, and no rules of strict construction will be applied against any party. No specific representation or warranty shall limit the generality or applicability of a more general representation or warranty. Each and every reference to share prices, Ordinary Shares and any other numbers in this Agreement that relate to the Ordinary Shares shall be automatically adjusted for stock dividends, stock splits, stock combinations and other similar transactions that occur with respect to the Ordinary Shares after the date of this Agreement.

 

(m) Remedies.

 

Each Buyer and each holder of any Securities shall have all rights and remedies set forth in the Transaction Documents and all rights and remedies which such holders have been granted at any time under any other agreement or contract and all of the rights which such holders have under any law. Any Person having any rights under any provision of this Agreement shall be entitled to enforce such rights specifically (without posting a bond or other security, to the extent permitted by law), to recover damages by reason of any breach of any provision of this Agreement and to exercise all other rights granted by law. Furthermore, the Company recognizes that in the event that it fails to perform, observe, or discharge any or all of its obligations under the Transaction Documents, any remedy at law may prove to be inadequate relief to each Buyer. The Company therefore agrees that each Buyer shall be entitled to seek specific performance and/or temporary, preliminary and permanent injunctive or other equitable relief from any court of competent jurisdiction in any such case without the necessity of proving actual damages and without posting a bond or other security. The Company also specifically agrees that following an Event of Default (as defined in the Note) under Section 4(a)(iii) or 4(a)(iv) of the Note, Buyer shall have the right to seek and receive injunctive relief from a court or an arbitrator prohibiting Company from issuing any of its Ordinary Shares or any of its preferred shares to any party unless at least fifty (50%) of the proceeds from such issuance (but in any event not more than the Outstanding Balance of the Note) will be paid simultaneously to Buyer. The Company specifically acknowledges that Buyer’s right to seek specific performance constitutes bargained for leverage and that the loss of such leverage would result in irreparable harm to Buyer. For the avoidance of doubt, in the event Buyer seeks to obtain an injunction from a court or an arbitrator against Company or specific performance of any provision of any Transaction Document, such action shall not be a waiver of any right of Buyer under any Transaction Document, at law, or in equity, including without limitation its rights to arbitrate any Claim pursuant to the terms of the Transaction Documents, nor shall Buyer’s pursuit of an injunction prevent Buyer, under the doctrines of claim preclusion, issues preclusion, res judicata or other similar legal doctrines, from pursuing other Claims in the future in a separate arbitration.

 

  42  

 

 

(n) Exercise of Right.

 

Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in (and without limiting any similar provisions of) the Transaction Documents, whenever each Buyer exercises a right, election, demand or option under a Transaction Document and the Company does not timely perform its related obligations within the periods therein provided, then such Buyer may continue to exercise it other rights, elections, demands and options hereunder and under any other Transaction Document from time to time as if such original right, election, demand or option had not been exercised without prejudice to its future actions and rights and remedies.

 

(o) Payment Set Aside; Currency.

 

To the extent that the Company makes a payment or payments to any Buyer hereunder or pursuant to any of the other Transaction Documents or any Buyer enforces or exercises its rights hereunder or thereunder, and such payment or payments or the proceeds of such enforcement or exercise or any part thereof are subsequently invalidated, declared to be fraudulent or preferential, set aside, recovered from, disgorged by or are required to be refunded, repaid or otherwise restored to the Company, a trustee, receiver or any other Person under any law (including, without limitation, any bankruptcy law, foreign, state or federal law, common law or equitable cause of action), then to the extent of any such restoration the obligation or part thereof originally intended to be satisfied shall be revived and continued in full force and effect as if such payment had not been made or such enforcement or setoff had not occurred. Unless otherwise expressly indicated, all dollar amounts referred to in this Agreement and the other Transaction Documents are in United States Dollars (“U.S. Dollars”), and all amounts owing under this Agreement and all other Transaction Documents shall be paid in U.S. Dollars. All amounts denominated in other currencies (if any) shall be converted into the U.S. Dollar equivalent amount in accordance with the Exchange Rate on the date of calculation. “Exchange Rate” means, in relation to any amount of currency to be converted into U.S. Dollars pursuant to this Agreement, the U.S. Dollar exchange rate as published in the Wall Street Journal on the relevant date of calculation.

2. REGISTRATION.

 

(a) Mandatory Registration. The Company shall prepare and, as soon as practicable, but in no event later than the Filing Deadline, file with the SEC an initial Registration Statement on Form F-1 or F-3 covering the resale of all of the Registrable Securities, provided that such Initial Registration Statement shall register for resale at least the number of Ordinary Shares equal to the Initial Required Registration Amount as of the date such Registration Statement is initially filed with the SEC (together with such other number of Ordinary Shares constituting Registrable Securities as may be registered thereunder pursuant to Rule 416 or otherwise). Such Initial Registration Statement, and each other Registration Statement required to be filed pursuant to the terms of this Agreement, shall contain (except if otherwise directed by the Required Holders) the “Selling Shareholder” and “Plan of Distribution” sections in substantially the form attached hereto as Exhibit B. The Company shall use its best efforts to have such Initial Registration Statement, and each other Registration Statement required to be filed pursuant to the terms of this Agreement, declared effective by the SEC as soon as practicable, but in no event later than the applicable Effectiveness Deadline for such Registration Statement. The Company shall be entitled to take into account of the position of the staff of the SEC (the “Staff”) with respect to the maximum number of Ordinary Shares which may be registered on such Initial Registration Statement and each such other Registration Statement at the time of effectiveness thereof.

 

(b) Legal Counsel. Subject to Section 5 hereof, Iliad Research and Trading, L.P., a Utah limited partnership (“Lead Buyer”), shall have the right to select one (1) legal counsel to review and oversee, solely on its behalf, any registration pursuant to this Section 2 (“Legal Counsel”), which shall be Hansen Black Anderson Ashcraft PLLC or such other counsel as thereafter designated by Lead Buyer.

 

(c) Form F-3. If the Initial Registration Statement is on Form F-1, the Company shall undertake to register the resale of the Registrable Securities on Form F-3 as soon as such form is available, provided that the Company shall maintain the effectiveness of all Registration Statements then in effect and the availability for use of each prospectus contained therein until such time as a Registration Statement on Form F-3 covering the resale of all the Registrable Securities has been declared effective by the SEC and the prospectus contained therein is available for use or, if sooner, the expiration of the Registration Period (as defined below).

 

(d) Sufficient Number of Shares Registered. In the event the number of shares available under any Registration Statement is insufficient to cover from time to time the Required Registration Amount, the Company shall amend such Registration Statement (if permissible), or file with the SEC a new Registration Statement (on the short form available therefor, if applicable), or both, so as to cover at least the Required Registration Amount as of the Trading Day immediately preceding the date of the filing of such amendment or new Registration Statement, in each case, as soon as practicable, but in any event not later than fifteen (15) days after written notice from the Buyers of the necessity therefor (but taking account of the position of the Staff with respect to the date on which the Staff will permit such amendment to the Registration Statement and/or such new Registration Statement (as the case may be) to be filed with the SEC). The Company shall use its best efforts to cause such amendment to such Registration Statement and/or such new Registration Statement (as the case may be) to become effective as soon as practicable following the filing thereof with the SEC, but in no event later than the applicable Effectiveness Deadline for such Registration Statement. The Company shall be entitled to take into account of the position of the Staff with respect to the maximum number of Ordinary Shares which may be registered on each such Registration Statement at the time of effectiveness thereof. For purposes of the foregoing provision, the number of shares available under a Registration Statement shall be deemed “insufficient to cover all of the Registrable Securities” if at any time the number of Ordinary Shares available for resale under the applicable Registration Statement is less than the Required Registration Amount as of such time.

 

- 4 -
 

 

(e) Effect of Failure to File and Obtain and Maintain Effectiveness of any Registration Statement. If (i) a Registration Statement covering the resale of all of the Registrable Securities required to be covered thereby and required to be filed by the Company pursuant to this Agreement is (A) not filed with the SEC on or before the Filing Deadline for such Registration Statement (a “Filing Failure”) (it being understood that if the Company files a Registration Statement without affording each Investor the opportunity to review and comment on the same as required by Section 3(c) hereof, the Company shall be deemed to not have satisfied this clause (i)(A) and such event shall be deemed to be a Filing Failure), or (B) not declared effective by the SEC on or before the Effectiveness Deadline for such Registration Statement (an “Effectiveness Failure”) (it being understood that if on the Business Day immediately following the Effective Date for such Registration Statement the Company shall not have filed a “final” prospectus for such Registration Statement with the SEC under Rule 424(b) in accordance with Section 3(b) (whether or not such a prospectus is technically required by such rule), the Company shall be deemed to not have satisfied this clause (i)(B) and such event shall be deemed to be an Effectiveness Failure), (ii) on any day after the Effective Date of a Registration Statement sales of all of the Registrable Securities required to be included on such Registration Statement cannot be made pursuant to such Registration Statement (including, without limitation, because of a failure to keep such Registration Statement effective, a failure to disclose such information as is necessary for sales to be made pursuant to such Registration Statement, a suspension or delisting of (or a failure to timely list) the Ordinary Shares on the Principal Market (as defined in the Securities Purchase Agreement), or a failure to register in accordance with Section 2(d) a sufficient number of Ordinary Shares or by reason of a stop order) (but, for the avoidance of doubt, taking account of the position of the Staff with respect to the maximum number of Ordinary Shares which may be registered on such Registration Statement) or the prospectus contained therein is not properly available for use for any reason (a “Maintenance Failure”), for more than five (5) consecutive calendar days or more than an aggregate of ten (10) calendar days (which need not be consecutive calendar days) during any 12-month period, provided that a Maintenance Failure shall not be deemed to occur for the purposes of this section to the extent a post-effective amendment to the Registration Statement is required for the purpose of meeting the requirements of section 10(a)(3) of the 1933 Act and the resulting Maintenance Failure continues for fifteen (15) days or less (which, for the avoidance of doubt, shall not be counted toward the five and ten-day periods above), or (iii) a Filing Failure, an Effectiveness Failure or a Maintenance Failure has occurred and is continuing, or the number of Ordinary Shares available for resale under the applicable Registration Statement is less than the Required Registration Amount, and the Company fails to file with the SEC any required reports under Section 13 or 15(d) of the 1934 Act such that it is not in compliance with Rule 144(c)(1) (or Rule 144(i)(2), if applicable) (a “Current Public Information Failure”) as a result of which any of the Investors are unable to sell Registrable Securities without restriction under Rule 144 (including, without limitation, volume restrictions) (each, a “Failure”), then, as partial relief for the damages to any holder by reason of any such delay in, or reduction of, its ability to sell the underlying Ordinary Shares (which remedy shall not be exclusive of any other remedies available at law or in equity), the Company shall pay to each holder of Registrable Securities relating to such Registration Statement an amount in cash (unless the Convertible Note is still outstanding in which case it will be added to the outstanding balance of each Convertible Note still outstanding) equal to two percent (2%) of the applicable Buyer’s total committed purchase price for the Registrable Securities affected by such failure pursuant to the Securities Purchase Agreement (i.e., if all of the Securities are so affected, 2.0% of $8,000,000, or $160,000) (1) within three (3) Business Days after the date of such Filing Failure, Effectiveness Failure, Maintenance Failure or Current Public Information Failure, as applicable, and (2) on every thirty (30) day anniversary of (I) a Filing Failure until such Filing Failure is cured; (II) an Effectiveness Failure until such Effectiveness Failure is cured; (III) a Maintenance Failure until such Maintenance Failure is cured; and (IV) a Current Public Information Failure until the earlier of (i) the date such Current Public Information Failure is cured and (ii) such time that such public information is no longer required pursuant to Rule 144 (in each case, pro rated for periods totaling less than thirty (30) days). The payments to which a holder of Registrable Securities shall be entitled pursuant to this Section 2(e) are referred to herein as “Registration Delay Payments.” Following the initial Registration Delay Payment for any particular Failure, without limiting the foregoing, if a Failure giving rise to the Registration Delay Payments is cured prior to any thirty (30) day anniversary of such Failure, then no further Registration Delay Payment(s) shall accrue after such cure. In the event the Company fails to make Registration Delay Payments in a timely manner in accordance with the foregoing, such Registration Delay Payments shall bear interest at the rate of one percent (1%) per month (prorated for partial months) until paid in full. Notwithstanding the foregoing, no Registration Delay Payments shall be owed to an Investor: (i) for any period after the date on which such Investor may conduct a resale (assuming cashless exercise of the Warrants in case of Warrant Shares) of all of its Registrable Securities in reliance on a valid exemption from registration in accordance with Rule 144 (and no Failure shall be deemed to have occurred or be continuing for any purpose during such period), (ii) with respect to more than one Failure at any time, or (iii) with respect to any Registrable Securities excluded from a Registration Statement by election of an Investor. Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, except in connection with a Current Public Information Failure, the Company shall not be required to make more than an aggregate of twelve (12) Registration Delay Payments pursuant to this Section 2(e), where any such payment pursuant to clause (2) of this Section 2(e) covering less than a 30-day period shall constitute a fraction of a Registration Delay Payment (i.e., no more than 24% in the aggregate).

 

- 5 -
 

 

(f) Offering. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Agreement, the Company agrees with the Buyers that each Registration Statement required to become effective hereunder shall become effective and be used for resales by the Investors such that it does not constitute and is not deemed to constitute an offering of securities by, or on behalf of, the Company, and that permits the continuous resale at the market by the Investors participating therein (or as otherwise may be acceptable to each Investor) without being named therein as an “underwriter.”

 

(g) Piggyback Registrations. Without limiting any obligation of the Company hereunder or under the Securities Purchase Agreement, if there is not an effective Registration Statement covering all of the Registrable Securities or the prospectus contained therein is not available for use and the Company shall determine to prepare and file with the SEC a registration statement relating to an offering for its own account or the account of others under the 1933 Act of any of its equity securities (other than on Form F-4 or Form S-8 (each as promulgated under the 1933 Act) or their then equivalents relating to equity securities to be issued solely in connection with any acquisition of any entity or business or equity securities issuable in connection with the Company’s stock option or other employee benefit plans), then the Company shall deliver to each Investor a written notice of such determination and, if within fifteen (15) days after the date of the delivery of such notice, any such Investor shall so request in writing, the Company shall include in such registration statement all or any part of such Registrable Securities such Investor requests to be registered; provided, however, the Company shall not be required to register any Registrable Securities pursuant to this Section 2(g) that are eligible for resale pursuant to Rule 144 without restriction (including, without limitation, volume restrictions) and without the need for current public information required by Rule 144(c)(1) (or Rule 144(i)(2), if applicable) or that are the subject of a then-effective Registration Statement. Notwithstanding anything else to the contrary in this Section 2(g), if (i) the Commission or any position of the Staff sets forth a limitation on the number of Registrable Securities permitted to be registered on a particular Registration Statement as a secondary offering or (ii) the Registration Statement relates to an offering for the Company’s account and the Company or the placement agent or underwriter for the offering reasonably determines that the dollar amount or number of Registrable Securities, taken together with all of the other securities which the Company desires to sell or for which registration has been requested pursuant to written contractual piggy-back registration rights held by other stockholders, exceeds the maximum dollar amount or maximum number of securities that can be sold in such offering without adversely affecting the proposed offering price, timing, distribution method, or probability of success (collectively, such limitation the “Maximum Number of Securities”), then the Company shall limit the securities to be included on such Registration Statement to: first, the number of securities which the Company desires to sell for itself without exceeding the Maximum Number of Securities; and second, securities (including Registrable Securities) for which registration has been requested pursuant to written contractual piggy-back registration rights, pro rata in accordance with the number of securities that each such person has requested be included in such registration regardless of the number of securities held by each such person, that can be sold without exceeding the Maximum Number of Securities.

3. RELATED OBLIGATIONS.

 

The Company shall use its best efforts to effect the registration of the Registrable Securities in accordance with the intended method of disposition thereof, and, pursuant thereto, the Company shall have the following obligations:

 

(a) The Company shall promptly prepare and file with the SEC a Registration Statement with respect to all the Registrable Securities (but in no event later than the applicable Filing Deadline) and use its best efforts to cause such Registration Statement to become effective as soon as practicable after such filing (but in no event later than the Effectiveness Deadline). The Company shall keep each Registration Statement effective (and the prospectus contained therein available for use) pursuant to Rule 415 for resales by the Investors on a delayed or continuous basis at then-prevailing market prices (and not fixed prices) at all times until the earlier of (i) the date as of which all of the Investors may sell all of the Registrable Securities required to be covered by such Registration Statement without restriction pursuant to Rule 144 (including, without limitation, volume restrictions) and without the need for current public information required by Rule 144(c)(1) (or Rule 144(i)(2), if applicable) (assuming cashless exercise of the Warrants in case of Warrant Shares) or (ii) the date on which the Investors shall have sold all of the Registrable Securities covered by such Registration Statement (the “Registration Period”). Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Agreement, the Company shall ensure that, when filed and at all times while effective, each Registration Statement (including, without limitation, all amendments and supplements thereto) and the prospectus (including, without limitation, all amendments and supplements thereto) used in connection with such Registration Statement (1) shall not contain any 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 (in the case of prospectuses, in the light of the circumstances in which they were made) not misleading and (2) will disclose (whether directly or through incorporation by reference to other SEC filings to the extent permitted) all material information regarding the Company and its securities. The Company shall submit to the SEC, within one (1) Business Day after the later of the date that (i) the Company learns that no review of a particular Registration Statement will be made by the Staff or that the Staff has no further comments on a particular Registration Statement (as the case may be) and (ii) the consent of Legal Counsel is obtained pursuant to Section 3(c) (which consent shall be immediately sought), a request for acceleration of effectiveness of such Registration Statement to a time and date not later than forty-eight (48) hours after the submission of such request.

 

(b) The Company shall prepare and file with the SEC such amendments (including, without limitation, post-effective amendments) and supplements to each Registration Statement and the prospectus used in connection with each such Registration Statement, which prospectus is to be filed pursuant to Rule 424 promulgated under the 1933 Act, as may be necessary to keep each such Registration Statement effective at all times during the Registration Period for such Registration Statement, and, during such period, comply with the provisions of the 1933 Act with respect to the disposition of all Registrable Securities of the Company required to be covered by such Registration Statement until such time as all of such Registrable Securities shall have been disposed of in accordance with the intended methods of disposition by the seller or sellers thereof as set forth in such Registration Statement; provided, however, by 8:30 a.m. (New York time) on the Business Day immediately following each Effective Date, the Company shall file with the SEC in accordance with Rule 424(b) under the 1933 Act the final prospectus to be used in connection with sales pursuant to the applicable Registration Statement (whether or not such a prospectus is technically required by such rule). In the case of amendments and supplements to any Registration Statement which are required to be filed pursuant to this Agreement (including, without limitation, pursuant to this Section 3(b)) by reason of the Company filing a report on Form 20-F or any similar or successor report under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “1934 Act”), the Company shall have incorporated such report by reference into such Registration Statement, if applicable, or shall file such amendments or supplements with the SEC on the same day on which the 1934 Act report is filed which created the requirement for the Company to amend or supplement such Registration Statement.

The Company shall not submit a request for acceleration of the effectiveness of a Registration Statement or any amendment or supplement thereto or to any prospectus contained therein without the prior consent of Legal Counsel, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld. The Company shall promptly furnish to Legal Counsel without charge, (i) copies of any correspondence from the SEC or the Staff to the Company or its representatives relating to each Registration Statement, provided that such correspondence shall not contain any material, non-public information regarding the Company or any of its Subsidiaries (as defined in the Securities Purchase Agreement), (ii) after the same is prepared and filed with the SEC, one (1) copy of each Registration Statement and any amendment(s) and supplement(s) thereto, including, without limitation, financial statements and schedules, all documents incorporated therein by reference, if requested by an Investor, and all exhibits and (iii) upon the effectiveness of each Registration Statement, one (1) copy of the prospectus included in such Registration Statement and all amendments and supplements thereto.

(d) The Company shall promptly furnish to each Investor whose Registrable Securities are included in any Registration Statement, without charge, (i) after the same is prepared and filed with the SEC, one (1) copy of each Registration Statement and any amendment(s) and supplement(s) thereto, including, without limitation, financial statements and schedules, all documents incorporated therein by reference, if requested by an Investor, all exhibits and each preliminary prospectus, (ii) upon the effectiveness of each Registration Statement, one (1) copy of the prospectus included in such Registration Statement and all amendments and supplements thereto (or such other number of copies as such Investor may reasonably request from time to time) and (iii) such other documents, including, without limitation, copies of any preliminary or final prospectus, as such Investor may reasonably request from time to time in order to facilitate the disposition of the Registrable Securities owned by such Investor.

The Company shall promptly notify Legal Counsel and each Investor who holds Registrable Securities of the receipt by the Company of any notification with respect to the suspension of the registration or qualification of any of the Registrable Securities for sale under the securities or “blue sky” laws of any jurisdiction in the United States or its receipt of actual notice of the initiation or threatening of any proceeding for such purpose.

(f) The Company shall notify Legal Counsel and each Investor in writing of the happening of any event, as promptly as practicable after becoming aware of such event, as a result of which the prospectus included in a Registration Statement, as then in effect, includes an untrue statement of a material fact or omission to state a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein, in the light of the circumstances under which they were made, not misleading (provided that in no event shall such notice contain any material, non-public information regarding the Company or any of its Subsidiaries), and promptly prepare a supplement or amendment to such Registration Statement and such prospectus contained therein to correct such untrue statement or omission and deliver ten (10) copies of such supplement or amendment to Legal Counsel and each Investor (or such other number of copies as Legal Counsel, legal counsel for each other Investor or such Investor may reasonably request). The Company shall also promptly notify Legal Counsel and each Investor in writing (i) when a prospectus or any prospectus supplement or post-effective amendment has been filed, when a Registration Statement or any post-effective amendment has become effective (notification of such effectiveness shall be delivered to Legal Counsel and each Investor by facsimile or e-mail on the same day of such effectiveness and by overnight mail), and when the Company receives written notice from the SEC that a Registration Statement or any post-effective amendment will be reviewed by the SEC, (ii) of any request by the SEC for amendments or supplements to a Registration Statement or related prospectus or related information, (iii) of the Company’s reasonable determination that a post-effective amendment to a Registration Statement would be appropriate; and (iv) of the receipt of any request by the SEC or any other federal or state governmental authority for any additional information relating to the Registration Statement or any amendment or supplement thereto or any related prospectus. The Company shall respond as promptly as practicable to any comments received from the SEC with respect to each Registration Statement or any amendment thereto (it being understood and agreed that the Company’s response to any such comments shall be delivered to the SEC no later than five (5) Business Days after the receipt thereof).

 

(g) The Company shall (i) use its best efforts to prevent the issuance of any stop order or other suspension of effectiveness of each Registration Statement or the use of any prospectus contained therein, or the suspension of the qualification, or the loss of an exemption from qualification, of any of the Registrable Securities for sale in any jurisdiction and, if such an order or suspension is issued, to obtain the withdrawal of such order or suspension at the earliest possible moment and (ii) notify Legal Counsel and each Investor who holds Registrable Securities of the issuance of such order and the resolution thereof or its receipt of actual notice of the initiation or threat of any proceeding for such purpose.

The Company agrees that it shall, upon learning that disclosure of such information concerning an Investor is sought in or by a court or governmental body of competent jurisdiction or through other means, give prompt written notice to such Investor and allow such Investor, at such Investor’s expense, to undertake appropriate action to prevent disclosure of, or to obtain a protective order for, such information.

(i) Without limiting any obligation of the Company under the Securities Purchase Agreement, the Company shall use its best efforts either to cause all of the Registrable Securities covered by each Registration Statement to be listed on each securities exchange on which securities of the same class or series issued by the Company are then listed, if any, if the listing of such Registrable Securities is then permitted under the rules of such exchange, or (ii) if, despite the Company’s best efforts to satisfy the preceding clause (i) the Company is unsuccessful in satisfying the preceding clause (i), without limiting the generality of the foregoing, to use its best efforts to arrange for at least two market makers to register with the Financial Industry Regulatory Authority (“FINRA”) as such with respect to such Registrable Securities.

(k) If requested by an Investor, the Company shall as soon as practicable after receipt of notice from such Investor, (i) incorporate in a prospectus supplement or post-effective amendment such information as an Investor reasonably requests to be included therein relating to the sale and distribution of Registrable Securities, including, without limitation, information with respect to the number of Registrable Securities being offered or sold, the purchase price being paid therefor and any other terms of the offering of the Registrable Securities to be sold in such offering; (ii) make all required filings of such prospectus supplement or post-effective amendment after being notified of the matters to be incorporated in such prospectus supplement or post-effective amendment; and (iii) supplement or make amendments to any Registration Statement or prospectus contained therein if reasonably requested by an Investor holding any Registrable Securities.

(p) The Company shall use its commercially reasonable efforts to maintain eligibility for use of Form F-3 (or any successor form thereto) for the registration of the resale of all the Registrable Securities.

(a) At least two (2) Business Days prior to the first anticipated filing date of each Registration Statement, the Company shall notify each Investor in writing of the information the Company seeks from each such Investor with respect to such Registration Statement. It shall be a condition precedent to the obligations of the Company to complete the registration pursuant to this Agreement with respect to the Registrable Securities of a particular Investor that such Investor shall furnish to the Company such information regarding itself, the Registrable Securities held by it and the intended method of disposition of the Registrable Securities held by it, as shall be reasonably required, in the good faith judgment of such Investor, to effect and maintain the effectiveness of the registration of such Registrable Securities.

6. INDEMNIFICATION.

 

(a) To the fullest extent permitted by law, the Company will, and hereby does, indemnify, hold harmless and defend each Investor and each of its directors, officers, managers, shareholders, members, partners, employees, agents, advisors, representatives (and any other Persons with a functionally equivalent role of a Person holding such titles notwithstanding the lack of such title or any other title) and each Person, if any, who controls such Investor within the meaning of the 1933 Act or the 1934 Act and each of the directors, officers, managers, shareholders, members, partners, employees, agents, advisors, representatives (and any other Persons with a functionally equivalent role of a Person holding such titles notwithstanding the lack of such title or any other title) of such controlling Persons (each, an “Indemnified Person”), against any losses, obligations, claims, damages, liabilities, contingencies, judgments, fines, penalties, charges, costs (including, without limitation, court costs, reasonable attorneys’ fees and costs of defense and investigation), amounts paid in settlement or expenses, joint or several, (collectively, “Claims”) incurred in investigating, preparing or defending any action, claim, suit, inquiry, proceeding, investigation or appeal taken from the foregoing by or before any court or governmental, administrative or other regulatory agency, body or the SEC, whether pending or threatened, whether or not an indemnified party is or may be a party thereto (“Indemnified Damages”), to which any of them may become subject insofar as such Claims (or actions or proceedings, whether commenced or threatened, in respect thereof) arise out of or are based upon: (i) any untrue statement or alleged untrue statement of a material fact in a Registration Statement or any post-effective amendment thereto or in any filing made in connection with the qualification of the offering under the securities or other “blue sky” laws of any jurisdiction in which Registrable Securities are offered (“Blue Sky Filing”), or the omission or alleged omission to state a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein not misleading, (ii) any untrue statement or alleged untrue statement of a material fact contained in any preliminary prospectus if used prior to the effective date of such Registration Statement, or contained in the final prospectus (as amended or supplemented, if the Company files any amendment thereof or supplement thereto with the SEC) or the omission or alleged omission to state therein any material fact necessary to make the statements made therein, in light of the circumstances under which the statements therein were made, not misleading or (iii) any violation or alleged violation by the Company of the 1933 Act, the 1934 Act, any other law, including, without limitation, any state securities law, or any rule or regulation thereunder relating to the offer or sale of the Registrable Securities pursuant to a Registration Statement (the matters in the foregoing clauses (i) through (iii) being, collectively, “Violations”) unless such Violations are based primarily upon a breach of Investor’s representations, warranties, or covenants under the Transaction Documents or any violations by Investor of state or federal securities laws or any conduct by Investor which constitutes fraud, gross negligence or willful misconduct. To the extent that the foregoing undertaking by the Company may be unenforceable for any reason, the Company shall make the maximum contribution to the payment and satisfaction of each of the Indemnified Liabilities which is permissible under applicable law. Subject to Section 6(c), the Company shall reimburse the Indemnified Persons, promptly as such expenses are incurred and are due and payable, for any legal fees or other reasonable expenses incurred by them in connection with investigating or defending any such Claim. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, the indemnification agreement contained in this Section 6(a): (i) shall not apply to a Claim by an Indemnified Person arising out of or based upon a Violation which occurs in reliance upon and in conformity with information furnished in writing to the Company by such Indemnified Person for such Indemnified Person expressly for use in connection with the preparation of such Registration Statement or any such amendment thereof or supplement thereto and (ii) shall not be available to a particular Investor to the extent such Claim is based on a failure of such Investor to deliver or to cause to be delivered the prospectus made available by the Company (to the extent applicable), including, without limitation, a corrected prospectus, if such prospectus or corrected prospectus was timely made available by the Company pursuant to Section 3(d) and then only if, and to the extent that, following the receipt of the corrected prospectus no grounds for such Claim would have existed; and (iii) shall not apply to amounts paid in settlement of any Claim if such settlement is effected without the prior written consent of the Company, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed. Such indemnity shall remain in full force and effect regardless of any investigation made by or on behalf of the Indemnified Person and shall survive the transfer of any of the Registrable Securities by any of the Investors pursuant to Section 9.

 

- 12 -
 

 

(b) In connection with any Registration Statement in which an Investor is participating, such Investor agrees to severally and not jointly indemnify, hold harmless and defend, to the same extent and in the same manner as is set forth in Section 6(a), the Company, each of its directors, each of its officers who signs the Registration Statement and each Person, if any, who controls the Company within the meaning of the 1933 Act or the 1934 Act (each, an “Indemnified Party”), against any Claim or Indemnified Damages to which any of them may become subject, under the 1933 Act, the 1934 Act or otherwise, insofar as such Claim or Indemnified Damages arise out of or are based upon any Violation, in each case, to the extent, and only to the extent, that such Violation occurs in reliance upon and in conformity with written information furnished to the Company by such Investor expressly for use in connection with such Registration Statement; and, subject to Section 6(c) and the below provisos in this Section 6(b), such Investor will reimburse an Indemnified Party any legal or other expenses reasonably incurred by such Indemnified Party in connection with investigating or defending any such Claim; provided, however, the indemnity agreement contained in this Section 6(b) and the agreement with respect to contribution contained in Section 7 shall not apply to amounts paid in settlement of any Claim if such settlement is effected without the prior written consent of such Investor, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed, provided further that such Investor shall be liable under this Section 6(b) for only that amount of a Claim or Indemnified Damages as does not exceed the net proceeds to such Investor as a result of the applicable sale of Registrable Securities pursuant to such Registration Statement. Such indemnity shall remain in full force and effect regardless of any investigation made by or on behalf of such Indemnified Party and shall survive the transfer of any of the Registrable Securities by any of the Investors pursuant to Section 9. Moreover, and notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement, no Indemnified Party shall have a right of offset pursuant to this Section 6(b) and, for the avoidance of doubt, the Company may not offset any amount owing pursuant to the Convertible Notes or any Warrants against any amount an Investor owes, or may owe, pursuant to this Section 6(b).

(c) Promptly after receipt by an Indemnified Person or Indemnified Party (as the case may be) under this Section 6 of notice of the commencement of any action or proceeding (including, without limitation, any governmental action or proceeding) involving a Claim, such Indemnified Person or Indemnified Party (as the case may be) shall, if a Claim in respect thereof is to be made against any indemnifying party under this Section 6, deliver to the indemnifying party a written notice of the commencement thereof, and the indemnifying party shall have the right to participate in, and, to the extent the indemnifying party so desires, jointly with any other indemnifying party similarly noticed, to assume control of the defense thereof with counsel mutually satisfactory to the indemnifying party and the Indemnified Person or the Indemnified Party (as the case may be); provided, however, an Indemnified Person or Indemnified Party (as the case may be) shall have the right to retain its own counsel with the fees and expenses of such counsel to be paid by the indemnifying party if: (i) the indemnifying party has agreed in writing to pay such fees and expenses; (ii) the indemnifying party shall have failed promptly to assume the defense of such Claim and to employ counsel reasonably satisfactory to such Indemnified Person or Indemnified Party (as the case may be) in any such Claim; or (iii) the named parties to any such Claim (including, without limitation, any impleaded parties) include both such Indemnified Person or Indemnified Party (as the case may be) and the indemnifying party, and such Indemnified Person or such Indemnified Party (as the case may be) shall have been advised by counsel in writing that a conflict of interest is likely to exist if the same counsel were to represent such Indemnified Person or such Indemnified Party and the indemnifying party (in which case, if such Indemnified Person or such Indemnified Party (as the case may be) notifies the indemnifying party in writing that it elects to employ separate counsel at the expense of the indemnifying party, then the indemnifying party shall not have the right to assume the defense thereof and such counsel shall be at the expense of the indemnifying party, provided further that in the case of clause (iii) above the indemnifying party shall not be responsible for the reasonable fees and expenses of more than one (1) separate legal counsel for such Indemnified Person or Indemnified Party (as the case may be)). The Indemnified Party or Indemnified Person (as the case may be) shall reasonably cooperate with the indemnifying party in connection with any negotiation or defense of any such action or Claim by the indemnifying party and shall furnish to the indemnifying party all information reasonably available to the Indemnified Party or Indemnified Person (as the case may be) which relates to such action or Claim. The indemnifying party shall keep the Indemnified Party or Indemnified Person (as the case may be) reasonably apprised at all times as to the status of the defense or any settlement negotiations with respect thereto. No indemnifying party shall be liable for any settlement of any action, claim or proceeding effected without its prior written consent; provided, however, the indemnifying party shall not unreasonably withhold, delay or condition its consent. No indemnifying party shall, without the prior written consent of the Indemnified Party or Indemnified Person (as the case may be), which shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed, consent to entry of any judgment or enter into any settlement or other compromise which does not include as an unconditional term thereof the giving by the claimant or plaintiff to such Indemnified Party or Indemnified Person (as the case may be) of a release from all liability in respect to such Claim or litigation, and such settlement shall not include any admission as to fault on the part of the Indemnified Party. Following indemnification as provided for hereunder, the indemnifying party shall be subrogated to all rights of the Indemnified Party or Indemnified Person (as the case may be) with respect to all third parties, firms or corporations relating to the matter for which indemnification has been made. The failure to deliver written notice to the indemnifying party within a reasonable time of the commencement of any such action shall not relieve such indemnifying party of any liability to the Indemnified Person or Indemnified Party (as the case may be) under this Section 6, except to the extent that the indemnifying party is materially and adversely prejudiced in its ability to defend such action.

 

- 14 -
 

 

(d) No Person involved in the sale of Registrable Securities who is guilty of fraudulent misrepresentation (within the meaning of Section 11(f) of the 1933 Act) in connection with such sale shall be entitled to indemnification from any Person involved in such sale of Registrable Securities who is not guilty of fraudulent misrepresentation.

 

(e) The indemnification required by this Section 6 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 Indemnified Damages are incurred.

 

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

 

7. CONTRIBUTION.

 

To the extent any indemnification by an indemnifying party is prohibited or limited by law, then indemnifying party, in lieu of indemnifying such Indemnified Party or Indemnified Person, shall contribute to the amount paid or payable by such Indemnified Party or Indemnified Person as a result of such Claim or Indemnified Damages in such proportion as is appropriate to reflect the relative fault of the Indemnified Party or Indemnified Person and the indemnifying party in connection with the actions or omissions which resulted in Claim or Indemnified Damages, as well as any other relevant equitable considerations. The relative fault of any Indemnified Party or Indemnified Person and any indemnifying party shall be determined by reference to, among other things, whether the untrue or alleged untrue statement of a material fact or the omission or alleged omission to state a material fact relates to information supplied by such Indemnified Party or such Indemnifying Party and the parties’ relative intent, knowledge, access to information and opportunity to correct or prevent such statement or omission. The parties hereto agree that it would not be just and equitable if contribution pursuant to this Section 7 were determined by pro rata allocation or by any other method of allocation which does not take account of the equitable considerations referred to in the immediately preceding sentence. Notwithstanding the foregoing: (i) no contribution shall be made under circumstances where the maker would not have been liable for indemnification under the fault standards set forth in Section 6 of this Agreement, (ii) no Person involved in the sale of Registrable Securities which Person is guilty of fraudulent misrepresentation (within the meaning of Section 11(f) of the 1933 Act) in connection with such sale shall be entitled to contribution from any Person involved in such sale of Registrable Securities who was not guilty of fraudulent misrepresentation; and (iii) contribution by any seller of Registrable Securities shall be limited in amount to the amount of net proceeds received by such seller from the applicable sale of such Registrable Securities pursuant to such Registration Statement. Notwithstanding the provisions of this Section 7, no Investor shall be required to contribute, in the aggregate, any amount in excess of the amount by which the net proceeds actually received by such Investor from the applicable sale of the Registrable Securities subject to the Claim exceeds the amount of any damages that such Investor has otherwise been required to pay, or would otherwise be required to pay under Section 6(b), by reason of such untrue or alleged untrue statement or omission or alleged omission.

9. ASSIGNMENT OF REGISTRATION RIGHTS.

No waiver shall be effective unless it is in writing and signed by an authorized representative of the waiving party.

11. MISCELLANEOUS.

(c) Failure of any party to exercise any right or remedy under this Agreement or otherwise, or delay by a party in exercising such right or remedy, shall not operate as a waiver thereof. The Company and each Investor acknowledge and agree that irreparable damage would occur in the event that any of the provisions of this Agreement were not performed in accordance with their specific terms or were otherwise breached. It is accordingly agreed that each party hereto shall be entitled to an injunction or injunctions to prevent or cure breaches of the provisions of this Agreement by any other party hereto and to enforce specifically the terms and provisions hereof (without the necessity of showing economic loss and without any bond or other security being required), this being in addition to any other remedy to which any party may be entitled by law or equity.

 

(d) This Agreement shall be construed and enforced in accordance with, and all questions concerning the construction, validity, enforcement and interpretation of this Agreement shall be governed by, the internal laws of the State of Utah, without giving effect to any choice of law or conflict of law provision or rule (whether of the State of Utah or any other jurisdiction) that would cause the application of the laws of any jurisdiction other than the State of Utah. The provisions set forth in the Securities Purchase Agreement to determine the proper venue for any disputes are incorporated herein by this reference. By its execution of this Agreement, each party agrees to be bound by the Arbitration Provisions (as defined in the Securities Purchase Agreement) set forth as an exhibit to the Securities Purchase Agreement. EACH PARTY HEREBY IRREVOCABLY WAIVES ANY RIGHT IT MAY HAVE TO, AND AGREES NOT TO REQUEST, A JURY TRIAL FOR THE ADJUDICATION OF ANY DISPUTE HEREUNDER OR IN CONNECTION HEREWITH OR ARISING OUT OF THIS AGREEMENT OR ANY TRANSACTION CONTEMPLATED HEREBY.

(e) This Agreement, the other Transaction Documents, the schedules and exhibits attached hereto and thereto and the instruments referenced herein and therein constitute the entire agreement among the parties hereto and thereto solely with respect to the subject matter hereof and thereof. There are no restrictions, promises, warranties or undertakings, other than those set forth or referred to herein and therein. This Agreement, the other Transaction Documents, the schedules and exhibits attached hereto and thereto and the instruments referenced herein and therein supersede all prior agreements and understandings among the parties hereto solely with respect to the subject matter hereof and thereof; provided, however, nothing contained in this Agreement or any other Transaction Document shall (or shall be deemed to) (i) have any effect on any agreements any Investor has entered into with, or any instrument that any Investor received from, the Company prior to the date hereof with respect to any prior investment made by such Investor in the Company, (ii) waive, alter, modify or amend in any respect any obligations of the Company or any rights of or benefits to any Investor or any other Person in any agreement entered into prior to the date hereof between or among the Company and any Investor or any instrument that any Investor received prior to the date hereof from the Company and all such agreements and instruments shall continue in full force and effect or (iii) limit any obligations of the Company under any of the other Transaction Documents.

 

(f) Subject to compliance with Section 9 (if applicable), this Agreement shall inure to the benefit of and be binding upon the permitted successors and assigns of each of the parties hereto. This Agreement is not for the benefit of, nor may any provision hereof be enforced by, any Person, other than the parties hereto, their respective permitted successors and assigns and the Persons referred to in Sections 6 and 7 hereof.

 

(g) The headings in this Agreement are for convenience of reference only and shall not limit or otherwise affect the meaning hereof. Unless the context clearly indicates otherwise, each pronoun herein shall be deemed to include the masculine, feminine, neuter, singular and plural forms thereof. The terms “including,” “includes,” “include” and words of like import shall be construed broadly as if followed by the words “without limitation.” The terms “herein,” “hereunder,” “hereof” and words of like import refer to this entire Agreement instead of just the provision in which they are found.

 

(h) This Agreement may be executed in two or more identical counterparts, all of which shall be considered one and the same agreement and shall become effective when counterparts have been signed by each party and delivered to the other party. In the event that any signature is delivered by facsimile transmission or by an e-mail which contains a portable document format (.pdf) file of an executed signature page, such signature page shall create a valid and binding obligation of the party executing (or on whose behalf such signature is executed) with the same force and effect as if such signature page were an original thereof.

 

(i) Each party shall do and perform, or cause to be done and performed, all such further acts and things, and shall execute and deliver all such other agreements, certificates, instruments and documents as any other party may reasonably request in order to carry out the intent and accomplish the purposes of this Agreement and the consummation of the transactions contemplated hereby.

 

(j) The language used in this Agreement will be deemed to be the language chosen by the parties to express their mutual intent and no rules of strict construction will be applied against any party. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary set forth in Section 10, terms used in this Agreement but defined in the other Transaction Documents shall have the meanings ascribed to such terms on the Closing Date in such other Transaction Documents unless otherwise consented to in writing by each Investor.

 

- 19 -
 

 

(k) All consents and other determinations required to be made by the Investors pursuant to this Agreement shall be made, unless otherwise specified in this Agreement, by the Required Holders.

 

(l) The obligations of each Investor under this Agreement and the other Transaction Documents are several and not joint with the obligations of any other Investor, and no Investor shall be responsible in any way for the performance of the obligations of any other Investor under this Agreement or any other Transaction Document. Nothing contained herein or in any other Transaction Document, and no action taken by any Investor pursuant hereto or thereto, shall be deemed to constitute the Investors as, and the Company acknowledges that the Investors do not so constitute, a partnership, an association, a joint venture or any other kind of group or entity, or create a presumption that the Investors are in any way acting in concert or as a group or entity with respect to such obligations or the transactions contemplated by the Transaction Documents or any matters, and the Company acknowledges that the Investors are not acting in concert or as a group, and the Company shall not assert any such claim, with respect to such obligations or the transactions contemplated by this Agreement or any of the other the Transaction Documents. Each Investor shall be entitled to independently protect and enforce its rights, including, without limitation, the rights arising out of this Agreement or out of any other Transaction Documents, and it shall not be necessary for any other Investor to be joined as an additional party in any proceeding for such purpose. The use of a single agreement with respect to the obligations of the Company contained herein was solely in the control of the Company, not the action or decision of any Investor, and was done solely for the convenience of the Company and not because it was required or requested to do so by any Investor. It is expressly understood and agreed that each provision contained in this Agreement and in each other Transaction Document is between the Company and an Investor, solely, and not between the Company and the Investors collectively and not between and among Investors.

  (g) assign, sell, novate or transfer any of its rights or obligations in respect of any Junior Debt or under any Junior Document without the Senior Creditor’s prior written consent;
     
  (h) discharge any of the Junior Debt by way of set-off; or

  (a) demand, accelerate, declare to be due and owing, ask or sue for, take or receive payment or distribution or take or accept any assets in respect of, all or any of the Junior Debt, directly or indirectly and whether in any composition by the Debtor with its creditors, by exercise of set-off, counterclaim, merger or consolidation of accounts or in any other manner;

Page 8

  (i) initiate or support or take any step with a view to:

 

  (i) any insolvency, liquidation, reorganisation, administration or dissolution proceedings of the Debtor;
     
  (ii) any voluntary arrangement or assignment for the benefit of creditors; or
     
  (iii) any similar proceedings involving the Debtor whether by petition, convening a meeting, voting for a resolution or otherwise;

 

  (j) receive any financial accommodation (of whatever nature) from the Debtor;
     
  (k) enter into any agreement (other than any Junior Facility Agreement in the form reviewed by the Senior Creditor as at the date of this Deed) that constitutes or evidences any Junior Debt without the prior written consent of the Senior Creditor;
     
  (l) assign, sell, novate or transfer any of its rights or obligations in respect of any Junior Debt or under any Junior Document without the Senior Creditor’s prior written consent;

  (n) take or omit any action whereby the subordination contemplated by this Deed may be impaired or terminated.

 

3.4 Postponement absolute: The provisions of clauses 3.1 to 3.3 shall apply notwithstanding that any amount owing to the Junior Creditor may have become due and payable because of the making of demand for payment or the maturity of such debt or the occurrence of a default under a Junior Document or otherwise.

 

3.5 Permitted Actions: Notwithstanding anything in this Deed to the contrary:

 

  (a) the Junior Creditor may declare a Junior Event of Default pursuant to the Junior Note Agreement upon the occurrence of any of the events described in clause 4(a)(iii) or 4(a)(iv) of the Junior Note Agreement.
     
  (b) the Debtor may only pay the Junior Redemption Payments to Junior Creditor prior to the Termination Date, provided that such payments are funded in full by the issue of new equity in the Debtor (and for the avoidance of doubt not by any debt instrument) and no Senior Event of Default, Senior Potential Default or Senior Event of Review has occurred and is continuing as at the date of the relevant payment.

 

Page 9
 

 

  (c) the Junior Creditor and/or the Debtor may convert all or any portion of the Outstanding Balance into Ordinary Shares (as each of those capitalised terms are defined in the Junior Note Agreement) in accordance with the Junior Note Agreement or exchange all or any portion of the Outstanding Balance for Ordinary Shares pursuant to one or more exchange transactions pursuant to Section 3(a)(9) of the United States Securities Act of 1933, as amended, to be agreed by the Debtor and the Junior Creditor; and
     
  (d)

the Junior Creditor may bring a legal proceeding against the Debtor but only for: (i) specific performance wherein the Junior Creditor seeks to cause the Debtor to deliver Ordinary Shares pursuant to the Junior Creditor’s rights to receive Ordinary Shares described in clause 3.5(c) above; or (ii) specific performance wherein the Junior Creditor seeks an injunction prohibiting the Debtor from issuing Ordinary Shares as described in clause 9(m) of the Junior Securities Purchase Agreement.

 

3.6 Turnover: If the Junior Creditor:

 

  (a) receives or recovers a payment or distribution in cash or in kind of, or on account of, any Junior Debt; or
     
  (b) accepts any assets in respect of any Junior Debt; or
     
  (c) receives a discharge of any of the Junior Debt by the exercise of any rights against the Debtor (whether of set-off, combination of accounts or otherwise),

 

which is not permitted by the provisions of this Deed, whether upon the dissolution of the Debtor or for any other reason, then the Junior Creditor shall hold each such payment and any such assets (or, if any of the Junior Debt is discharged by set-off or otherwise, an amount equal to the discharge) on trust as bare trustee for the Senior Creditor and will pay the relevant amount (plus interest (if any)) and turn over the relevant funds and/or assets to the Senior Creditor in or towards the discharge of the Senior Debt. Any such amount paid, or the value of any such assets held, by the Junior Creditor on account of being trustee for the benefit of the Senior Creditor and paid over to the Senior Creditor shall be treated, for the purposes of the obligations of the Debtor in respect of the Junior Debt, as if it had not been paid or turned over by the Debtor. The Junior Debt shall accordingly be deemed not to be discharged to that extent.

 

3.7 Perpetuity Period of Trust: The trust constituted by clause 6.6 of this Deed shall be for a term of 21 years from the date of this Deed.
   
3.8 Duties of the Junior Creditor as trustee: Pending the payment by the Junior Creditor to the Senior Creditor of any of the Junior Debt so taken or received or the turning over of any assets so accepted by the Junior Creditor, the Junior Creditor shall:

 

  (a) not co-mingle any such amount to be paid or any assets to be turned over to the Senior Creditor with its other assets; and

 

Page 10
 

 

  (b) place any such amount to be paid to the Senior Creditor in a separate, interest-bearing account (to be designated as a trust account) with any bank or financial institution in New Zealand.

 

The Junior Creditor as trustee shall account to the Senior Creditor for any of the Junior Debt so taken or received by it or assets so accepted by it.

 

3.9 Failure of Trust: If and to the extent that the trust constituted by clause 6.6 of this Deed is for any reason not properly constituted or is otherwise not effective, the Junior Creditor agrees (on an indemnity basis) immediately on demand to pay to the Senior Creditor any of the Junior Debt so taken, recovered or received or any assets so accepted or any discharge received by the Junior Creditor as described in clause 6.6 of this Deed.
   
3.10 Exception - capitalisation of interest and fees: Nothing in this Deed is intended to prevent the Junior Creditor from charging interest or fees on or in connection with the Junior Debt in accordance with the terms of the Junior Documents (as at the date of this Deed), provided that such interest or fees are capitalised to the Junior Debt.
   
3.11 Deemed Waiver of Default:

 

Any waiver or consent granted by or on behalf of the Senior Creditor at any time prior to the Termination Date in respect of the Senior Documents will also be deemed to have been given by Junior Creditor if:

 

  (a) in order for any such waiver or consent to take effect in accordance with its terms, such waiver or consent is required from the Junior Creditor; or
     
  (b) the act matter or thing the subject of the waiver or consent would, if such waiver or consent was not provided, result in a Junior Event of Default or a ‘Potential Event of Default’ (however described) under any Junior Document,

 

in each case, whether or not an Enforcement Date has already occurred.

 

4. ASSIGNMENT

 

4.1 Benefit and Burden of this Deed: This Deed shall be binding upon and enure for the benefit of the parties and their respective successors and any permitted assignee or transferee.
   
4.2 By the Debtor and the Junior Creditor: Neither the Debtor nor the Junior Creditor may assign or transfer any or all of their respective rights (if any) or obligations under this Deed without (i) obtaining the prior written consent of the Senior Creditor and (ii) procuring that any assignee or transferee enters into a deed of covenant with the other parties to this Deed in a form approved by the Senior Creditor, agreeing to be bound by this Deed in the place of the transferring party.
   
4.3 By the Senior Creditor: The Senior Creditor may assign any or all of its rights and benefits under this Deed subject to the requirement that any assignee enters into a deed of covenant with the Debtor and the Junior Creditor whereby the assignee agrees to be bound by this Deed as if it were the Senior Creditor.

9. GENERAL

 

9.1 Amendments: This Deed may from time to time be amended if all parties agree in writing.
   
9.2 Remedies and waivers: Time is of the essence for this Deed but no failure to exercise, and no delay in exercising, any right or remedy of the Senior Creditor under this Deed is to operate as a waiver of such right or remedy, nor will any single or partial exercise of any right or remedy preclude any other or further exercise thereof or the exercise of any right or remedy. No waiver by the Senior Creditor of any rights or remedies under this Deed is to be effective unless it is in writing signed by the Senior Creditor.
   
9.3 Partial invalidity: The illegality, invalidity or unenforceability of any provision of this Deed under any law will not affect the legality, validity or enforceability of that provision under any other law or the legality, validity or enforceability of any other provision.
   
9.4 Expiry: With effect from the Termination Date, this Deed shall terminate and the parties shall have no further obligations hereunder.
   
9.5 Reinstatement: If any payment received or recovered by a Creditor in respect of its Debt is avoided by law or has to be refunded to any liquidator or other person, that payment will be deemed not to have discharged the Senior Debt or the Junior Debt (as the context requires) in respect of which the payment was received or recovered and accordingly, if the Termination Date has occurred in such circumstances affecting the Senior Debt, then the Termination Date will be deemed not to have occurred.
   
9.6 Third party payments: If the Senior Creditor receives any amount otherwise than from the Debtor, the Senior Debt will not be deemed reduced by that amount until and except to the extent that it is applied towards the Senior Debt.
   
9.7 Disclosure of information: Each Creditor may disclose to the other such information about the Debtor, the Senior Security (in the case of the Senior Creditor), the facilities being provided to the Debtor and any related information as that Creditor thinks fit.
   
9.8 No requirement to enforce: The Senior Creditor may refrain from enforcing the Senior Security as long as it sees fit. The Junior Creditor waives any right it may have of first requiring the Senior Creditor (or any party on its behalf) to proceed against or enforce any other right or security or claim payment from any person before claiming the benefit of this Deed.
   
9.9 Senior Creditor’s discretion: The Senior Creditor (or any person on its behalf) may:

 

  (a) apply any moneys or property received under this Deed or from the Debtor or any other person against the Senior Debt in such order as it sees fit;

 

Page 15
 

 

  (b) hold in suspense any moneys or distributions received from the Junior Creditor under this Deed.

 

9.10 Custody of documents: So long as the Senior Documents are in effect, the Senior Creditor will be entitled to hold any title documents, share certificates or similar original documents in respect of any Secured Property. The Senior Creditor has no responsibility to the Junior Creditor in connection with obtaining or maintaining custody of such documents.
   
9.11 Debtor: This Deed is given for the sole benefit of the Creditors and does not create any obligation or liability on the part of either Creditor to the Debtor.
   
9.12 Costs:

 

  (a) The Debtor agrees to pay on demand all reasonable costs incurred by the Creditors in connection with the preparation, negotiation, execution and performance of this Deed, and all waivers under and amendments to this Deed.
     
  (b) The Debtor and the Junior Creditor (as the case may be) agree to pay on demand all costs incurred by the Senior Creditor in connection with the enforcement against the Debtor or the Junior Creditor (as applicable), or (in the case of the Debtor only) review and consideration, of the Senior Creditor’s rights under this Deed. For the avoidance of doubt, the Junior Creditor shall not be liable for any costs and expenses in connection with the enforcement against the Debtor.

 

9.13 Contracts Privity: The parties acknowledge that, in terms of the Contract and Commercial Law Act 2017, this Deed is made for the benefit of and is intended to be enforceable by the Senior Creditor and any receiver appointed by it.
   
9.14 Counterparts: This Deed may be signed in any number of counterparts (including scanned PDF counterparts) all of which, when taken together, will constitute one and the same instrument. Any party may enter into this Deed by executing any such counterpart.
   
9.15 Delivery: For the purposes of section 9 of the Property Law Act 2007 and without limiting any other mode of delivery, this Deed will be delivered by each of the Debtor and the Junior Creditor immediately on the earlier of:

 

  (a) physical delivery of an original of this Deed, executed by the relevant party, into the custody of the Senior Creditor or its solicitors; or
     
  (b) transmission by the relevant party, its solicitors or any other person authorised in writing by that party of a facsimile, photocopied or scanned copy of an original of this Deed, executed by that party, to the Senior Creditor or its solicitors.

 

9.16 Copies: If any party transmits a facsimile, photocopied or scanned copy of this Deed to the Senior Creditor by way of delivery under clause 9.15:

 

  (a) the other parties may rely on that copy as though it were the original copy; and
     
  (b) the transmitting party will, as soon as reasonably practicable thereafter, deliver to each other party the executed original of this Deed.

 

9.17 Governing law: This Deed is to be governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of New Zealand and the parties submit to the non-exclusive jurisdiction of the courts of New Zealand.
