Tabone*)(collectively, the “Other Lenders”), and additional parties who may subsequently become a party to this Agreement as a lender pursuant to Section 15 hereof (“Additional Lenders,” and together with Esenjay and Other Lenders, the “Lenders”).

 

WHEREAS, Borrower and Esenjay entered into that certain Credit Facility Agreement, dated as of March 22, 2018 (“Effective Date”), as amended and restated pursuant to that certain Amended and Restated Credit Facility Agreement dated March 28, 2019, as further amended and restated by that certain Second Amended and Restated Credit Facility Agreement dated October 10, 2019 (as amended and restated and currently in effect, the “Original Agreement”), to provide Borrower with a line of credit (the “LOC”) in a maximum principal amount at any time outstanding of up to Ten Million Dollars ($10,000,000);

 

WHEREAS, the Lenders agreed to amend and restate their individual promissory notes issued under the Original Agreement to increase the LOC from Ten Million Dollars ($10,000,000) to Twelve Million Dollars ($12,000,000) and extend the maturity date to December 31, 2020, and also to add provisions pursuant to which the outstanding amounts under the promissory notes are convertible into shares of common stock of Flux Power Holdings, Inc., at $4.00 per share (“Conversion Provision”).

 

WHEREAS, Esenjay is an existing Lender under the LOC and also currently a holder of an Amended and Restated Convertible Promissory Note, dated March 9, 2020, issued by Flux Power Holdings, Inc., a Nevada corporation and the the parent of Borrower (“Flux Power”) for the principal amount One Million Four Hundred Thousand Dollars ($1,400,000) as delivered on June 2, 2020, of which $500,000 in principal is outstanding as of August 31, 2020 (“Esenjay Note”);

 

WHEREAS, the Lenders, Esenjay (in its capacity as holder of the Esenjay Note) and Borrower wish to consolidate the outstanding obligations under the Esenjay Note, principal plus accrued interest, into the Advances (as defined below) under this Agreement; and

 

WHEREAS, the parties hereto desire to amend and restate the Original Agreement to (i) memorialize the increase in the LOC from Ten Million Dollars ($10,000,000) to Twelve Million Dollars ($12,000,000), (ii) extend the maturity date from December 31, 2020 to September 30, 2021, (iii) memorialize the Conversion Provision under the promissory notes previously issued in connection with the LOC and (iv) to include and consolidate the outstanding obligations under the Esenjay Note into the Advances made under this Agreement.

 

NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the above recitals and for other good and valuable consideration, the receipt and adequacy of which is hereby acknowledged, Borrower and the Lenders hereby amend and restate the Original Agreement in its entirety and agree as follows:

 

1

 

 

1.        Credit Facility.

 

(a)       Subject to the sole discretion of each individual Lender, and subject to the terms and conditions of this Agreement, each of the Lenders severally agrees to extend a LOC, in the aggregate, of up to Twelve Million Dollars ($12,000,000) (the “Advances”) to Borrower from time to time from the Effective Date until September 30, 2021. The Advances shall be made pro rata in accordance with each Lender’s Pro Rata Percentages (as defined below), provided, however, to the extent such Lender elects not to make an Advance or the full amount of its right to make an Advance (each event, a “Shortfall”), the other Lenders may elect to make up the Shortfall, if any. Borrower and each of the Lenders acknowledge and agree that Schedule A sets forth, as of August 31, 2020, each of the Lender’s outstanding principal amount and accrued and unpaid interest under this Agreement and the Notes (including the inclusion of the Esenjay Note to Esenjay’s outstanding principal amount under the Note held by Esenjay). For the purpose of this Agreement, the Lender’s Pro Rata Percentage shall mean (i) the total outstanding principal amount owed the Note (as defined below) held by the Lender divided by (ii) the aggregate amount of all outstanding principal amount owed under the Notes then held all Lenders.

 

(b)       The Advances shall be evidenced by separate amended and restated promissory notes of Borrower in substantially the form of Exhibits A-1 and A-2 attached hereto dated of even date with this Agreement (except for the Note evidencing Borrowers’ prior Advances to date, which shall be amended to reflect the increase to the amount of the Advances per this Agreement) ( each a “Note” and collectively, the “Notes”), and completed with appropriate insertions. One Note shall be payable to the order of each Lender in the principal amount equal to the LOC commitment or, if less, the outstanding amount of all Advances made by such Lender, plus interest accrued thereon, as set forth below. All Advances shall be made pursuant the terms and obligations set forth in the Note.

 

(c)       For the purposes of the Advances, subject to the limitations, terms and conditions set forth in the Notes, Borrower may, from time to time, prior to the Due Date (as defined in the Note), draw down, repay, and re-borrow on the Note, by giving notice to the Lenders of the amount to be requested to be drawn down.

 

(d)       In order to secure Borrower’s performance under the Note, Borrower and the Lenders entered into an Amended and Restated Security Agreement, dated March 28, 2019, as amended on October 10, 2019, and as further amended and restated pursuant to that certain Second Amended and Restated Security Agreement dated as of the date hereof and entered into concurrently with this Agreement (as amended and restated, the “Security Agreement”), the terms of which are incorporated herein by this reference. Such Security Agreement shall reflect the increase to the amount of the Advances per this Agreement, and include the obligations under the Esenjay Note which are being included as Advances under this Agreement and reflected in the Notes.

 

(e)       All Advances shall be used by Borrower for the purchase of inventory and related operational support expenses.

 

(f)       The Note and the Security Agreement, together with all of the other agreements, documents, and instruments heretofore or hereafter executed in connection therewith or with the Loan to be made under this Agreement, as the same may be amended, supplemented or modified from time to time, shall collectively be referred to herein as the “Loan Documents.”

 

(g)       The parties and Flux Power agree to the Conversion Provision set forth in the Note.

 

2.       Interest Rate and Fees. Interest and fees shall accrue and be payable on the Loan as set forth in the Note.

 

3.       Assignment and Inclusion of Esenjay Note. For good and valuable consideration, the receipt and sufficiency of which is hereby acknowledged, Flux Power hereby grants, assigns, transfers and sets over to the Borrower all of its right, title and interest in and to the Esenjay Note; and Esenjay agrees and consents to such assignment. The Lenders and Borrower hereby consent to the inclusion of all of the outstanding obligations under the Esenjay Note onto the Note. Upon the execution of the Note held by Esenjay, Esenjay fully releases and discharges Flux Power under the Esenjay Note.

(a)       The Company has the requisite corporate power and authority to enter into this Agreement and otherwise to carry out its obligations thereunder. The execution, delivery and performance by the Company of this Agreement and the filings contemplated therein have been duly authorized by all necessary action on the part of the Company and no further action is required by the Company. This Agreement constitutes a legal, valid and binding obligation of the Company enforceable in accordance with its terms, except as enforceability may be limited by bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization, moratorium or similar laws affecting the enforcement of creditor’s rights generally.

 

(b)       The Company represents and warrants that it has no place of business or offices where its respective books of account and records are kept (other than temporarily at the offices of its attorneys or accountants) or places where Collateral is stored or located other than the Company’s main facility identified in Section 14 of this Agreement;

 

(c)       The Company is the sole owner of the Collateral (except for non-exclusive licenses granted by the Company in the ordinary course of business), free and clear of any liens, security interests, encumbrances, rights or claims, and is fully authorized to grant the Security Interest in and to pledge the Collateral. Except for the prior security interest granted in connection with the Original Security Agreement, there is not on file in any governmental or regulatory authority, agency or recording office an effective financing statement, security agreement, license or transfer or any notice of any of the foregoing (other than those that have been filed in favor of the Secured Party pursuant to this Agreement) covering or affecting any of the Collateral. So long as this Agreement shall be in effect, the Company shall not execute and shall not knowingly permit to be on file in any such office or agency any such financing statement or other document or instrument that is senior to the Security Interest granted under this Agreement.

 

(d)       No part of the Collateral has been judged invalid or unenforceable. No written claim has been received that any Collateral or the Company’s use of any Collateral violates the rights of any third party. There has been no adverse decision to the Company’s claim of ownership rights in or exclusive rights to use the Collateral in any jurisdiction or to the Company’s right to keep and maintain such Collateral in full force and effect, and there is no proceeding involving said rights pending or, to the best knowledge of the Company, threatened before any court, judicial body, administrative or regulatory agency, arbitrator or other governmental authority.

 

(e)       The Company shall at all times maintain its books of account and records relating to the Collateral at its principal place of business and its Collateral at the locations set forth in Section 14 and may not relocate such books of account and records or tangible Collateral unless it delivers to the Collateral Agent at least thirty (30) days prior to such relocation (i) written notice of such relocation and the new location thereof (which must be within the United States) and (ii) evidence that appropriate financing statements and other necessary documents have been filed and recorded and other steps have been taken to perfect the Security Interest to create in favor of the Secured Parties valid, perfected and continuing first priority liens in the Collateral.

 

(f)       This Agreement creates in favor of the Secured Parties a valid security interest in the Collateral securing the payment and performance of the Obligations and, upon making the filings described in the immediately following sentence, a perfected security interest in such Collateral. Except for the filing of financing statements on Form UCC-1 under the UCC, no authorization or approval of or filing with or notice to any governmental authority or regulatory body is required either (i) for the grant by the Company of, or the effectiveness of, the Security Interest granted hereby or for the execution, delivery and performance of this Agreement by the Company or (ii) for the perfection of or exercise by the Collateral Agent of its rights and remedies hereunder.

No consent (including, without limitation, from stock holders or creditors of the Company) is required for the Company to enter into and perform its obligations hereunder.

 

(i)       The Company shall at all times maintain the liens and Security Interest provided for hereunder as valid and perfected liens and security interests in the Collateral in favor of the Secured Parties until this Agreement and the Security Interest hereunder shall terminate pursuant to Section 12. The Company hereby agrees to defend the same against any and all persons. The Company shall safeguard and protect all Collateral for the account of the Secured Parties. At the request of the Collateral Agent, the Company will sign and deliver to the Collateral Agent at any time or from time to time one or more financing statements pursuant to the UCC (or any other applicable statute) in form reasonably satisfactory to the Collateral Agent and will pay the cost of filing the same in all public offices wherever filing is, or is deemed by the Collateral Agent to be, necessary or desirable to effect the rights and obligations provided for herein. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the Company shall pay all fees, taxes and other amounts necessary to maintain the Collateral and the Security Interest hereunder, and the Company shall obtain and furnish to the Collateral Agent from time to time, upon demand, such releases and/or subordinations of claims and liens which may be required to maintain the priority of the Security Interest hereunder.

 

(j)       The Company will not transfer, pledge, hypothecate, encumber, license (except for any Collateral disposed of in the ordinary course of business), sell or otherwise dispose of any of the Collateral without the prior written consent of the Collateral Agent.

 

(k)       The Company shall keep and preserve its Equipment, Inventory and other tangible Collateral in good condition, repair and order and shall not operate or locate any such Collateral (or cause to be operated or located) in any area excluded from insurance coverage.

 

(l)       The Company shall, within twenty (20) days of obtaining knowledge thereof, advise the Collateral Agent promptly, in sufficient detail, of any substantial change in the Collateral, and of the occurrence of any event which would have a material adverse effect on the value of the Collateral or on the Secured Parties’ security interest therein.

SECOND AMENDED AND RESTATED SECURED PROMISSORY NOTE

(ESENJAY INVESTMENTS, LLC)

 

$12,000,000 Vista, California
  March 28, 2019 (“Original Issuance Date”)

 

FOR VALUE RECEIVED, Flux Power, Inc., a California corporation (“Company”), hereby unconditionally promises to pay to Esenjay Investments, LLC (“Holder”), the principal amount of Twelve Million Dollars ($12,000,000) or such lesser principal amount (“Principal Amount”) as Holder may have advanced to Company pursuant to the Third Amended and Restated Credit Facility Agreement, dated August 31, 2020, by and among Company, Holder and other Lenders (as defined therein) ( as amended from time to time, the “Credit Facility Agreement”), together with interest thereon in accordance with the terms hereof, from the date hereof until the date on which this Second Amended and Restated Secured Promissory Note (the “Note”) is paid in full.

 

This Note is made and delivered by Company to Holder pursuant to the terms of the Credit Facility Agreement. Under the Credit Facility Agreement, Holder, at its sole discretion and along with other Lenders (as defined in the Credit Facility Agreement), agreed to advance funds up to a maximum of Twelve Million Dollars ($12,000,000) to Company, from time to time, to be used by Company to purchase inventory and related operational support expenses. All capitalized terms used and not defined herein shall have the meanings ascribed to them in the Credit Facility Agreement. Pursuant to the Credit Facility Agreement, this Note consolidates and also includes obligations in the amount of $500,000 in principal outstanding, plus $64,271 in accrued and unpaid interest, all of which were unpaid and outstanding as of August 31, 2020 under that certain Amended and Restated Convertible Promissory Note, dated March 9, 2020, issued by Flux Power Holdings, Inc., the parent of Company (“Esenjay Note”), and supersedes in its entirety the Amended and Restated Secured Promissory Note issued to Esenjay on March 28, 2019, as amended thereafter from time to time in connection with the LOC (the “Original Note”), and the Esenjay Note.

 

THE OBLIGATIONS DUE UNDER THIS NOTE ARE SECURED BY A SECOND AMENDED AND RESTATED SECURITY AGREEMENT (AS AMENDED FROM TIME TO TIME, THE “SECURITY AGREEMENT”) DATED AS OF THE DATE HEREOF AND EXECUTED BY COMPANY FOR THE BENEFIT OF HOLDER AND LENDERS. ADDITIONAL RIGHTS OF HOLDER AND THE OTHER LENDERS ARE SET FORTH IN THE SECURITY AGREEMENT.

 

1.       Advances. So long as there is no Event of Default (as defined below in Section 6), Holder shall, at its sole discretion, provide Advances hereunder so long as the total of all unpaid Advances at the time of such request does not exceed Twelve Million Dollars ($12,000,000) (the “Maximum Amount”). If, at any time or for any reason, the amount of Advances pursuant to the Notes owed by Company to Lenders exceeds the Maximum Amount, Company shall immediately pay to Lenders, based on the Lender’s Pro Rata Percentage, in cash, the amount of such excess. For the purpose of this Note, “Pro Rata Percentage” shall mean such Lender’s interest in the LOC equal to the amount of all Advances made by such Lender divided by the aggregate amount of all Advances made by the Lenders.

 

2.       Terms of the Secured Promissory Note.

 

(a)       Interest Rate. Interest on the then outstanding Principal Amount of this Note shall accrue at a rate per annum equal to fifteen percent (15%), beginning on the date of each Advance (the “Advance Date”). All interest shall be calculated on the basis of the actual daily balances of Principal Amount outstanding for the exact number of days elapsed, using a year of three hundred sixty (360) days.

-Credit Facility-

 

 

(b)       Maturity Date. Except as otherwise provided herein, the entire Principal Amount of this Note, together with all accrued but unpaid interest payable thereon, shall be due and payable in full on the earlier of: (i) September 30, 2021, unless extended pursuant to the terms of this Note (the “Maturity Date”), or (ii) when such amounts are declared due and payable by Holder upon or after the occurrence of an Event of Default (as defined below).

 

3.       Voluntary Prepayment. Advances may be prepaid, in whole or in part, at any time prior to the Maturity Date without penalty.

 

4.       Conversion. The outstanding Principal Amount under this Note, as Holder may have advanced to Company under this Note, plus any accrued and unpaid interest (the “Obligation”), may be converted, as follows:

 

(a)       Definitions. As used in this Note, the following capitalized terms have the following meanings:

 

(i)       “Equity Securities” shall mean Flux Power Holdings, Inc. (“Issuer”) common stock, $0.001 par value per share, that is issued and sold to investors in the Offering.

 

(ii)       “Equity Securities Price” shall mean $4.00 per share, the cash price per share of the Equity Securities paid by purchasers in the initial closing of the private placement of Issuer on June 30, 2020.

 

(iii)       “Equity Securities Conversion Price” shall be equal to the Equity Securities Price (as equitably adjusted pursuant to the terms and condition of this Note).

 

(b)       Conversion at the Option of Holder. On or before the Maturity Date, Holder, at Holder’s option and upon five (5) days prior written notice to Issuer (“Conversion Notice”), may convert in whole or in part the outstanding Obligation into a number of shares of the Equity Securities calculated by dividing (x) the Obligation under this Note, by (y) an amount equal to the Equity Securities Conversion Price. At Issuer’s election, the issuance of such shares of the Equity Securities upon conversion of this Note shall be contingent upon execution and delivery by Holder of all necessary documents entered into by other purchasers of the Equity Securities, including without limitation a definitive purchase agreement and related documents.

 

(c)       Mechanics of Conversion. As promptly as practicable after the conversion of this Note, this Note shall be cancelled, and Issuer will issue and deliver to Holder a certificate or certificates representing the full number of shares of Equity Securities issuable upon such conversion (and the issuance of such certificate or certificates shall be made without charge to Holder for any issuance in respect thereof or other cost incurred by Issuer in connection with such conversion and the related issuance of shares); provided, however, if less than all of the outstanding Obligation is converted pursuant to Section 4(b), Company will additionally deliver to Holder an amended and restated Note, containing an original principal amount equal to that portion of the then-outstanding principal amount not converted containing the other terms and provisions of this Section 4(b) and otherwise in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to Holder. No fractional shares of Equity Securities or scrip representing a fraction of a shares of the Equity Securities will be issued upon conversion, but the number of such shares issuable shall be rounded up to the nearest whole share.

-Credit Facility-

 

 

(d)       Reserved Amount. Issuer agrees that until the repayment or conversion of this Note in full, Issuer will reserve from its authorized and unissued Equity Securities a sufficient number of shares, free of preemptive rights, to provide for the issuance of the shares of Equity Securities upon full conversion of this Note.

 

(e)       Adjustments. If Issuer at any time subdivides (by any stock split, stock dividend, recapitalization or otherwise), its outstanding shares of Equity Securities into a greater number of shares, the conversion price in effect immediately prior to such subdivision will be proportionately reduced, and if Issuer at any time combines (by reverse stock split, recapitalization or otherwise) its outstanding shares of Equity Securities into a smaller number of shares, the conversion price in effect immediately prior to such combination will be proportionately increased.

 

5.       Representations and Warranties of Holder. Holder hereby represents and warrants to Company and Issuer as follows:

 

(a)       Organization, Authority. If Holder is an entity, such Holder is a corporation, partnership, limited liability company or partnership, association, joint stock company, trust, unincorporated organization or other entity duly organized, validly existing and in good standing under the laws of the jurisdiction of its organization with the requisite corporate, partnership or other power and authority to enter into and to consummate the transactions contemplated by the Transaction Documents and otherwise to carry out its obligations hereunder and thereunder. The purchase by such Holder of the Securities hereunder has been, to the extent such Holder is an entity, duly authorized by all necessary corporate, partnership or other action on the part of such Holder. This Note and the Credit Facility Agreement have been duly executed and delivered by such Holder and constitutes the valid and binding obligation of such Holder, enforceable against it in accordance with its terms, except (i) as limited by general equitable principles and applicable bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization, moratorium and other laws of general application affecting enforcement of creditors’ rights generally, (ii) as limited by laws relating to the availability of specific performance, injunctive relief or other equitable remedies and (iii) insofar as indemnification and contribution provisions may be limited by applicable law.

 

(b)       Investment Representations. In connection with the sale and issuance of the Convertible Note and underlying Equity Securities (“Securities”), Holder, for itself and no other Holder, makes the following representations:

 

(i)       Investment for Own Account. Holder is acquiring the Securities for its own account, not as nominee or agent, and not with a view to, or for resale in connection with, any distribution or public offering thereof within the meaning of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (“Securities Act”). Holder has no present intention of selling, granting any participation in, or otherwise distributing the Securities. Holder does not have any contract, undertaking, agreement or arrangement with any person to sell, transfer or grant participation in any of the Securities to such person or to any third person.

 

(ii)       SEC Documents. Holder acknowledges and agrees that Issuer has made available to Holder through the SEC’s EDGAR system, true and complete copies of Issuer’s most recent Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended June 30, 2019, and Form 10-Q for the quarter ended March 31, 2020, and all other reports filed by Issuer pursuant to the Exchange Act since the filing of the Form 10-Q for the quarter ended March 31, 2020, prior to the date hereof (collectively, the “SEC Documents”). Holder has received, read and fully understands the SEC Documents. Holder acknowledges that Holder is basing its decision to invest in the Securities on the SEC Documents, this Note and the Credit Facility Agreement, and has relied only on the information contained in said material and has not relied upon any representations made by any other person. Holder recognizes that an investment in the Securities involves substantial risks and is fully cognizant of and understands all of the risk factors related to the purchase of the Securities, including but not limited to, those risks set forth in the section of the SEC Documents entitled “RISK FACTORS.”

-Credit Facility-

 

 

(iii)       Accredited Holder Status. At the time such Holder was offered the Securities, it was and, at the date hereof it is, an “accredited investor” as defined in Rule 501(a) under the Securities Act or a “qualified institutional buyer” as defined in Rule 144A(a) under the Securities Act. Such Holder is not a registered broker dealer registered under Section 15(a) of the Exchange Act, or a member of the Financial Industry Regulatory Authority, Inc. (“FINRA”) or an entity engaged in the business of being a broker dealer. Such Holder is not affiliated with any broker dealer registered under Section 15(a) of the Exchange Act, or a member of FINRA or an entity engaged in the business of being a broker dealer. Holder has provided Issuer a duly completed and executed original of the Accredited Holder Questionnaire confirming that Holder is an “accredited investors.”

 

(iv)       Representations and Reliance. Holder understands that the Securities are being offered and sold to it in reliance on specific exemptions from the registration requirements of the United States federal and state securities laws and that Issuer is relying upon the truth and accuracy of the representations, warranties, agreements, acknowledgments and understandings of Holder set forth herein to determine the applicability of such exemptions and the suitability of Holder to acquire the Securities. All information which Holder has provided to Issuer in the Accredited Holder Questionnaire concerning itself is true and accurate in all material respects, and if there should be any material change in such information, Holder will immediately provide Issuer with such information. Holder will promptly notify Issuer of any material fact or circumstance that would cause any of the foregoing representations to be untrue, incomplete, or misleading.

 

(v)       Restricted Securities. Holder understands that the Securities Holder is purchasing are characterized as “restricted securities” under the federal securities laws inasmuch as they are being acquired from Issuer in a transaction not involving a public offering and that under such laws and regulations such securities may be resold without registration under the Securities Act only in certain limited circumstances. Holder is familiar with Rule 144, as presently in effect, and understands the resale limitations imposed thereby and by the Securities Act. Holder also acknowledges that Issuer was a former “shell company” (as defined in Rule 12b-2 under the Exchange Act) and as such Holder understands Rule 144 is not currently available for the sale of the Securities and may not be so available as Company was a former “shell company” as defined in Rule 12b-2 under the Exchange Act.

 

(vi)       Transfer Restrictions; Legends. Holder understands that (i) the Securities have not been registered under the Securities Act; (ii) the Securities are being offered and sold pursuant to an exemption from registration, based in part upon Issuer’s reliance upon the statements and representations made by Holder, and that the Securities must be held by Holder indefinitely, and that Holder must, therefore, bear the economic risk of such investment indefinitely, unless a subsequent disposition thereof is registered under the Securities Act or is exempt from such registration; and (iii) each Certificate representing the Securities will be endorsed with a legend substantially in the following form until the earlier of (1) such date as the Securities have been registered for resale by Holder or (2) the date the Securities are eligible for sale under Rule 144.

 

THE SECURITIES REPRESENTED HEREBY HAVE NOT BEEN REGISTERED UNDER THE SECURITIES ACT OF 1933, AS AMENDED (THE “SECURITIES ACT”), OR UNDER THE SECURITIES LAWS OF ANY STATES. THESE SECURITIES ARE SUBJECT TO RESTRICTIONS ON TRANSFERABILITY AND RESALE AND MAY NOT BE TRANSFERRED OR RESOLD EXCEPT AS PERMITTED UNDER THE SECURITIES ACT AND THE APPLICABLE STATE SECURITIES LAWS, PURSUANT TO REGISTRATION OR EXEMPTION THEREFROM. UNLESS SOLD PURSUANT TO AN EFFECTIVE REGISTRATION STATEMENT UNDER THE SECURITIES ACT, THE ISSUER OF THESE SECURITIES MAY REQUIRE AN OPINION OF COUNSEL IN FORM AND SUBSTANCE SATISFACTORY TO THE ISSUER TO THE EFFECT THAT ANY PROPOSED TRANSFER OR RESALE IS IN COMPLIANCE WITH THE SECURITIES ACT AND ANY APPLICABLE STATE SECURITIES LAWS.

-Credit Facility-

 

 

(vii)       Public Market. Holder understands and acknowledges that the Issuer’s Common Stock recently commenced trading on NASDAQ Capital Market and it was previously quoted on the OTCQB (which market is very volatile), and Issuer has made no assurances that a broader or more active public trading market for its Common Stock will ever exist.

 

(viii)       No Transfer. Holder covenants not to dispose of any of the Securities other than in conjunction with an effective registration statement under the Securities Act or in compliance with Rule 144 or pursuant to another exemption from registration or to an entity affiliated with Holder and other than in compliance with the applicable securities regulations laws of any state.

 

(ix)       Investment Experience. Holder acknowledges that Holder is able to bear the economic risk of Holder’s investment, including the complete loss thereof.

(x)       Financial Sophistication; Due Diligence. Holder has such knowledge and experience in financial or business matters that it is capable of evaluating the merits and risks of the investment in connection with the transactions contemplated in this Note and the Credit Facility Agreement. Such Holder has, in connection with its decision to purchase the Securities, relied only upon the representations and warranties contained herein and the information contained in Issuer’s SEC Documents. Further, Holder has had such opportunity to obtain additional information and to ask questions of, and receive answers from, Issuer, concerning the terms and conditions of the investment and the business and affairs of Issuer, as Holder considers necessary in order to form an investment decision.

 

(xi)       General Solicitation. Holder is not purchasing the Securities as a result of any advertisement, article, notice or other communication regarding the Securities published in any newspaper, magazine or similar media or broadcast over the television or radio or presented at any seminar or any other general solicitation or general advertisement. Prior to the time that Holder was first contacted by Issuer or either of the agents, such Holder had a pre-existing and substantial relationship with Issuer or one of the agents. Holder will not issue any press release or other public statement with respect to the transactions contemplated by this Note and the Credit Facility Agreement without the prior written consent of Issuer. Other than to other parties to this Note and the Credit Facility Agreement, Holder has maintained and will continue to maintain the confidentiality of all disclosures made to Holder in connection with this transaction, including the existence and terms of this transaction.

 

(c)       No Investment, Tax or Legal Advice. Holder understands that nothing in the SEC Documents, this Note, or the Credit Facility Agreement, or any other materials presented to Holder in connection with the purchase and sale of the Securities constitutes legal, tax or investment advice. Holder has consulted such legal, tax and investment advisors as it, in its sole discretion, has deemed necessary or appropriate in connection with its purchase of Securities.

Holder has reviewed the documents publicly filed by Issuer with the SEC and has read and understands the risk factors disclosed therein. Holder has received all of the information it considers necessary or appropriate for deciding whether to purchase the Securities. Holder is solely responsible for conducting its own due diligence investigation of Issuer.

 

(e)       Placement Agent. Holder acknowledges and agrees that Issuer may retain registered broker-dealers as its placement agent (the “Selling Agent(s)”). In general, any agreements entered into with the Selling Agent(s) will be on a “best efforts” basis and the fees to be paid will be capped at seven percent (7%) of the subscription attributable to the Selling Agent(s).

 

(f)       Additional Acknowledgement. Holder acknowledges that it has independently evaluated the merits of the transactions contemplated by this Note and the Credit Facility Agreement, that it has independently determined to enter into the transactions contemplated hereby, that it is not relying on any advice from or evaluation by any other person. Holder acknowledges that, if it is a client of an investment advisor registered with the SEC, Holder has relied on such investment advisor in making its decision to purchase the Securities pursuant hereto.

 

6.       Events of Default. Upon the occurrence of any of the following events (“Event of Default”), Company shall be deemed to be in default hereunder:

On or before the Maturity Date, Holder, at Holder’s option and upon five (5) days prior written notice to Issuer (“Conversion Notice”), may convert in whole or in part the outstanding Obligation into a number of shares of the Equity Securities calculated by dividing (x) the Obligation under this Note, by (y) an amount equal to the Equity Securities Conversion Price. At Issuer’s election, the issuance of such shares of the Equity Securities upon conversion of this Note shall be contingent upon execution and delivery by Holder of all necessary documents entered into by other purchasers of the Equity Securities, including without limitation a definitive purchase agreement and related documents.

 

(c)       Mechanics of Conversion. As promptly as practicable after the conversion of this Note, this Note shall be cancelled, and Issuer will issue and deliver to Holder a certificate or certificates representing the full number of shares of Equity Securities issuable upon such conversion (and the issuance of such certificate or certificates shall be made without charge to Holder for any issuance in respect thereof or other cost incurred by Issuer in connection with such conversion and the related issuance of shares); provided, however, if less than all of the outstanding Obligation is converted pursuant to Section 4(b), Company will additionally deliver to Holder an amended and restated Note, containing an original principal amount equal to that portion of the then-outstanding principal amount not converted containing the other terms and provisions of this Section 4(b) and otherwise in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to Holder. No fractional shares of Equity Securities or scrip representing a fraction of a shares of the Equity Securities will be issued upon conversion, but the number of such shares issuable shall be rounded up to the nearest whole share.

 

(d)       Reserved Amount. Issuer agrees that until the repayment or conversion of this Note in full, Issuer will reserve from its authorized and unissued Equity Securities a sufficient number of shares, free of preemptive rights, to provide for the issuance of the shares of Equity Securities upon full conversion of this Note.

(e)       Adjustments. If Issuer at any time subdivides (by any stock split, stock dividend, recapitalization or otherwise), its outstanding shares of Equity Securities into a greater number of shares, the conversion price in effect immediately prior to such subdivision will be proportionately reduced, and if Issuer at any time combines (by reverse stock split, recapitalization or otherwise) its outstanding shares of Equity Securities into a smaller number of shares, the conversion price in effect immediately prior to such combination will be proportionately increased.

 

5.       Representations and Warranties of Holder. Holder hereby represents and warrants to Company and Issuer as follows:

 

(a)       Organization, Authority. If Holder is an entity, such Holder is a corporation, partnership, limited liability company or partnership, association, joint stock company, trust, unincorporated organization or other entity duly organized, validly existing and in good standing under the laws of the jurisdiction of its organization with the requisite corporate, partnership or other power and authority to enter into and to consummate the transactions contemplated by the Transaction Documents and otherwise to carry out its obligations hereunder and thereunder. The purchase by such Holder of the Securities hereunder has been, to the extent such Holder is an entity, duly authorized by all necessary corporate, partnership or other action on the part of such Holder. This Note and the Credit Facility Agreement have been duly executed and delivered by such Holder and constitutes the valid and binding obligation of such Holder, enforceable against it in accordance with its terms, except (i) as limited by general equitable principles and applicable bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization, moratorium and other laws of general application affecting enforcement of creditors’ rights generally, (ii) as limited by laws relating to the availability of specific performance, injunctive relief or other equitable remedies and (iii) insofar as indemnification and contribution provisions may be limited by applicable law.

 

(b)       Investment Representations. In connection with the sale and issuance of the this Note and underlying Equity Securities (“Securities”), Holder, for itself and no other Holder, makes the following representations:

 

(i)       Investment for Own Account. Holder is acquiring the Securities for its own account, not as nominee or agent, and not with a view to, or for resale in connection with, any distribution or public offering thereof within the meaning of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (“Securities Act”). Holder has no present intention of selling, granting any participation in, or otherwise distributing the Securities. Holder does not have any contract, undertaking, agreement or arrangement with any person to sell, transfer or grant participation in any of the Securities to such person or to any third person.

 

(ii)       SEC Documents. Holder acknowledges and agrees that Issuer has made available to Holder through the SEC’s EDGAR system, true and complete copies of Issuer’s most recent Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended June 30, 2019, and Form 10-Q for the quarter ended March 31, 2020, and all other reports filed by Issuer pursuant to the Exchange Act since the filing of the Form 10-Q for the quarter ended March 31, 2020, prior to the date hereof (collectively, the “SEC Documents”). Holder has received, read and fully understands the SEC Documents. Holder acknowledges that Holder is basing its decision to invest in the Securities on the SEC Documents, this Note and the Credit Facility Agreement, and has relied only on the information contained in said material and has not relied upon any representations made by any other person. Holder recognizes that an investment in the Securities involves substantial risks and is fully cognizant of and understands all of the risk factors related to the purchase of the Securities, including but not limited to, those risks set forth in the section of the SEC Documents entitled “RISK FACTORS.”

(iii)       Accredited Holder Status. At the time such Holder was offered the Securities, it was and, at the date hereof it is, an “accredited investor” as defined in Rule 501(a) under the Securities Act or a “qualified institutional buyer” as defined in Rule 144A(a) under the Securities Act. Such Holder is not a registered broker dealer registered under Section 15(a) of the Exchange Act, or a member of the Financial Industry Regulatory Authority, Inc. (“FINRA”) or an entity engaged in the business of being a broker dealer. Such Holder is not affiliated with any broker dealer registered under Section 15(a) of the Exchange Act, or a member of FINRA or an entity engaged in the business of being a broker dealer. Holder has provided Issuer a duly completed and executed original of the Accredited Holder Questionnaire confirming that Holder is an “accredited investors.”

 

(iv)       Representations and Reliance. Holder understands that the Securities are being offered and sold to it in reliance on specific exemptions from the registration requirements of the United States federal and state securities laws and that Issuer is relying upon the truth and accuracy of the representations, warranties, agreements, acknowledgments and understandings of Holder set forth herein to determine the applicability of such exemptions and the suitability of Holder to acquire the Securities. All information which Holder has provided to Issuer in the Accredited Holder Questionnaire concerning itself is true and accurate in all material respects, and if there should be any material change in such information, Holder will immediately provide Issuer with such information. Holder will promptly notify Issuer of any material fact or circumstance that would cause any of the foregoing representations to be untrue, incomplete, or misleading.

 

(v)       Restricted Securities. Holder understands that the Securities Holder is purchasing are characterized as “restricted securities” under the federal securities laws inasmuch as they are being acquired from Issuer in a transaction not involving a public offering and that under such laws and regulations such securities may be resold without registration under the Securities Act only in certain limited circumstances. Holder is familiar with Rule 144, as presently in effect, and understands the resale limitations imposed thereby and by the Securities Act. Holder also acknowledges that Issuer was a former “shell company” (as defined in Rule 12b-2 under the Exchange Act) and as such Holder understands Rule 144 is not currently available for the sale of the Securities and may not be so available as Company was a former “shell company” as defined in Rule 12b-2 under the Exchange Act.

 

(vi)       Transfer Restrictions; Legends. Holder understands that (i) the Securities have not been registered under the Securities Act; (ii) the Securities are being offered and sold pursuant to an exemption from registration, based in part upon Issuer’s reliance upon the statements and representations made by Holder, and that the Securities must be held by Holder indefinitely, and that Holder must, therefore, bear the economic risk of such investment indefinitely, unless a subsequent disposition thereof is registered under the Securities Act or is exempt from such registration; and (iii) each Certificate representing the Securities will be endorsed with a legend substantially in the following form until the earlier of (1) such date as the Securities have been registered for resale by Holder or (2) the date the Securities are eligible for sale under Rule 144.

 

THE SECURITIES REPRESENTED HEREBY HAVE NOT BEEN REGISTERED UNDER THE SECURITIES ACT OF 1933, AS AMENDED (THE “SECURITIES ACT”), OR UNDER THE SECURITIES LAWS OF ANY STATES. THESE SECURITIES ARE SUBJECT TO RESTRICTIONS ON TRANSFERABILITY AND RESALE AND MAY NOT BE TRANSFERRED OR RESOLD EXCEPT AS PERMITTED UNDER THE SECURITIES ACT AND THE APPLICABLE STATE SECURITIES LAWS, PURSUANT TO REGISTRATION OR EXEMPTION THEREFROM. UNLESS SOLD PURSUANT TO AN EFFECTIVE REGISTRATION STATEMENT UNDER THE SECURITIES ACT, THE ISSUER OF THESE SECURITIES MAY REQUIRE AN OPINION OF COUNSEL IN FORM AND SUBSTANCE SATISFACTORY TO THE ISSUER TO THE EFFECT THAT ANY PROPOSED TRANSFER OR RESALE IS IN COMPLIANCE WITH THE SECURITIES ACT AND ANY APPLICABLE STATE SECURITIES LAWS.

(viii)       No Transfer.

(xi)       General Solicitation. Holder is not purchasing the Securities as a result of any advertisement, article, notice or other communication regarding the Securities published in any newspaper, magazine or similar media or broadcast over the television or radio or presented at any seminar or any other general solicitation or general advertisement. Prior to the time that Holder was first contacted by Issuer or either of the agents, such Holder had a pre-existing and substantial relationship with Issuer or one of the agents. Holder will not issue any press release or other public statement with respect to the transactions contemplated by this Note and the Credit Facility Agreement without the prior written consent of Issuer.

(c)       No Investment, Tax or Legal Advice. Holder understands that nothing in the SEC Documents, this Note, or the Credit Facility Agreement, or any other materials presented to Holder in connection with the purchase and sale of the Securities constitutes legal, tax or investment advice.

(d)       Disclosure of Information. Holder understands that no United States federal or state agency or any other government or governmental agency has passed upon or made any recommendation or endorsement of the Securities.
