Second L1 Capital Financing Amendment
Background
As previously reported via Forms 6-K filed on January 25, 2022 (the “January 2022 6-K”) and March 9, 2022 (the “March 2022 6-K”), on January 21, 2022, the Company closed an initial $5,000,000 tranche (the “First Tranche”) of a total then anticipated $7,000,000 private placement with L1 Capital Global Opportunities Master Fund, Ltd. (the “Investor”) pursuant to the terms of a Securities Purchase Agreement, dated January 21, 2022, between the Company and the Investor (the “Purchase Agreement”).
In connection with the closing of the First Tranche, the Company issued to the Investor (i) a Senior Convertible Promissory Note in a principal amount of up to $7,000,000 carrying the material terms described in the January 2022 6-K (the “Original Note”) and (ii) a five year Ordinary Share Purchase Warrant carrying the material terms described in the January 2022 6-K (the “Initial Warrant”) to purchase up to 383,620 ordinary shares of the Company (the “Ordinary Shares”) at an exercise price of $6.00 per share, subject to adjustment as described in the January 2022 6-K.
A second tranche of funding (the “Second Tranche”) under the Original Note, in the principal amount of $2,000,000 (subject to potential reduction as described in the January 2022 6-K, the “Second Tranche Amount”) was to be funded two (2) trading days following the declaration of effectiveness a registration statement covering the resale of the Ordinary Shares underlying the Original Note and Warrants (as defined below) (the “Registration Statement”), subject to the satisfaction of certain conditions precedent. At the closing of the Second Tranche, the Investor was to be entitled to receive an additional Ordinary Share Purchase Warrant (carrying the same terms as the Initial Warrant) (the “Second Warrant”, and collectively with the Initial Warrant, the “Warrants”) to purchase up to 153,450 Ordinary Shares, if the full amount of the Second Tranche was funded, at an exercise price of $6.00 per share, subject to adjustment as disclosed in the January 2022 6-K.

First Amendment to Purchase Agreement and Note
As reported in the March 2022 6-K, on March 4, 2022, the Company and the Investor entered into a First Amendment to the Purchase Agreement (the “SPA Amendment”) and an Amended and Restated Senior Convertible Promissory Note, which amends and restates the Original Note in its entirety (the “Replacement Note”), to memorialize the following amendments to the terms of the financing transaction:
1. The Second Tranche Amount was increased from $2,000,000 to $5,000,000 (less a 6% original issuance discount as provided for in the Original Note) (the “New Second Tranche Amount”).
2. Because of the increase in the Second Tranche Amount, at the closing of the Second Tranche, the Investor will be entitled to receive a Second Warrant to purchase up to 383,620 Ordinary Shares (rather than 153,450 Ordinary Shares per the initial Purchase Agreement terms, and assuming the full New Second Tranche Amount is funded) at an exercise price of $6.00 per share, subject to adjustment as described in the January 2022 6-K.
3. Without the prior approval of the Investor, the Company will be restricted in issuing new Ordinary Shares or Ordinary Share equivalents (subject to certain exceptions) during the period from March 4, 2022 through the date that is seven (7) trading days after the Registration Statement is declared effective; provided that this restriction will not apply if then trading price of the Ordinary Shares is over $9.00 with average five (5) day trading volume of 500,000 shares.
4. The New Second Tranche Amount, and the corresponding number of Ordinary Shares underlying the Second Warrant, was subject to reduction if the principal amount of the Replacement Note (after funding the Second Tranche) would be 20% (as opposed to 25% as provided for in the Original Note) of the market capitalization of the Company on the trading following the date of effectiveness of the Registration Statement (the “Market Capitalization Limitation”).
5. The deadline for the Company to file the Registration Statement was extended from March 4, 2022 to March 9, 2022. The Registration Statement was filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on March 9, 2022.
6. The Company became obligated to pay $9,000 of the Investor’s legal expenses for preparing the SPA Amendment and the Replacement Note.
Second Amendment to Note
On May 16, 2022, the Company executed and delivered to the Investor a Second Amended and Restated Senior Convertible Promissory Note which amends and restates the Replacement Note in its entirety (the “Second Replacement Note”) to memorialize the following amendments to the terms of the financing transaction:
1. The Investor has agreed to fund the full New Second Tranche Amount of $5,000,000 (less a 6% original issuance discount) to the Company within two (2) trading days following the Company’s filing of a first amendment to the Registration Statement (“Amendment No. 1”), rather than following effectiveness of the Registration Statement.
2. The Market Capitalization Limitation and all other conditions within the control of the Investor to the funding of the New Second Tranche Amount have been removed.
3. The Company will use its best efforts to file Amendment No. 1 by May 20, 2022 and have the Registration Statement be declared effective by May 31, 2022.
4. The Investor has agreed to defer the initial required monthly installment payment of the Note (as described in the January 2022 6-K) from May 21, 2022 until June 15, 2022.
All other terms of the financing remain unmodified.
The foregoing description of the Second Replacement Note is a summary only, does not purport to be complete, and is qualified in its entirety by reference to the full text of such document, the form of which is attached hereto as Exhibit 10.1 and incorporated herein by reference.

1.3 Principal Installment Payments. Commencing on June 15, 2022 for the initial Monthly Payment (as defined below), then on June 21, 2022 for the second Monthly Payment, and thereafter on the 21st day of each month thereafter (subject to Section 1.6 hereof), the Maker shall pay to the Holder the Principal Amount hereunder (as may be reduced from time to time by conversions of such Principal Amount as provided for hereunder) in monthly installments a payment equal to one-fourteenth (1/14th) of the total Principal Amount then outstanding (the “Monthly Payments”), until the Principal Amount has been paid in full prior to or on the Maturity Date or, if earlier, upon acceleration, conversion or redemption of this Note in accordance with the terms herein. The Maker and the Holder agree that all payments made under this Note, including the provisions of Section 1.3, shall be subject in all cases to the terms of the Purchase Agreement, including, without limitation, Section 2.4 thereof. The Monthly Payments shall be made in cash, in the amount of 102% of such Monthly Payment; provided, however, as to any Monthly Payment and upon no less than two (2) Trading Days’ prior written irrevocable notice (the “Monthly Payment Notice”), in lieu of a cash payment the Company may elect to pay all or part of a Monthly Payment in Conversion Shares based on a conversion price per share, subject to a floor of $1.20 per share (which floor price may be waived by the Company as expressly provided for herein, the “Floor Price”), equal to the lesser of (i) the then Conversion Price and (ii) 90% of the Market Price (subject to adjustment for any stock dividend, stock split, stock combination or other similar event affecting the Ordinary Shares during the ten (10) Trading Day measuring period described in the definition of “Market Price” herein) (the price calculated during the applicable ten (10) Trading Day measuring period described in the definition of “Market Price” herein, the “Monthly Conversion Price” and such 10 Trading Day period, the “Monthly Conversion Period”); provided, that the Company may not pay the Monthly Payment in Conversion Shares unless (i) from the date the Holder receives the duly delivered Monthly Payment Notice through and until the date such Monthly Payment is paid in full, the Equity Conditions have been satisfied, unless waived in writing by the Holder, and (ii) the Market Price shall have been equal to or in excess of the Floor Price during the Monthly Conversion Period, unless the Company exercise a right, in its discretion, to waive the Floor Price. For the avoidance of doubt if the Company determines to waive the foregoing requirement that the Market Price be equal to or in excess of the Floor Price, and makes a Monthly Payment in the form of Ordinary Shares, the applicable conversion price per share shall be the lesser of (i) the then Conversion Price and (ii) 90% of the Market Price during the applicable Monthly Conversion Period, even if less than the Floor Price. The Holder may convert, pursuant to Section 3, any principal amount of this Note subject to a Monthly Payment at any time prior to the date that the Monthly Payment, plus accrued but unpaid interest, liquidated damages and any other amounts then owing to the Holder are due and paid in full. Unless otherwise indicated by the Holder in the applicable Notice of Conversion, any principal amount of this Note converted during the applicable Monthly Conversion Period until the date the Monthly Payment is paid in full shall be first applied to the Principal Amount subject to the Monthly Payment payable in cash and then to the Monthly Payment payable in Conversion Shares. The Company covenants and agrees that it will honor all Conversion Notices tendered up until the amounts due hereunder are paid in full. The Company’s determination to pay a Monthly Payment in cash, Ordinary Shares or a combination thereof shall be applied ratably to all of the holders of the then outstanding Notes based on their (or their predecessor’s) initial purchases of Notes pursuant to the Purchase Agreement.
3 |
Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, upon three (3) Trading Days’ notice to the Company (the date of such notice, the “Monthly Payment Adjustment Notice Date”), the Holder may elect at its sole option, to defer or accelerate up to three (3) Monthly Payments or any portion of a Monthly Payment, to any Trading Day succeeding such Monthly Payment Adjustment Notice Date provided such date precedes the next Monthly Payment Date. In the event that the Holder elects to defer or accelerate any such Monthly Payments, to the extent applicable, the procedures set forth in this Section 1.3 shall continue to apply to the Company.
Following the receipt of a Monthly Payment in the form of Conversion Shares, excluding the final Monthly Payment, if during the ten (10) Trading Day period beginning on the Trading Date following the Payment Date on which such Conversion Shares were delivered (the “Succeeding Measurement Period”), the Market Price (the “Succeeding Market Price”) shall be less than the Monthly Conversion Price during the prior Monthly Conversion Period, then on the Trading Day following such Succeeding Measurement Period, the Company shall transfer to the Holder an additional number of Ordinary Shares (the “Make Whole Shares”) equal to the amount of the prior Monthly Payment divided by the difference between the Succeeding Market Price and the prior Monthly Conversion Price; provided, however, that if (i) the Succeeding Market Price is less than the Floor Price and (ii) the Company desires to exercise a right to waive the Floor Price limitation and issue Make Whole Shares at less than the Floor Price, in lieu of receiving Make Whole Shares, the Holder may elect to receive a cash payment derived by multiplying (i) the number of Make Whole Shares which would have been required to be delivered pursuant to the above provisions by (ii) the VWAP of the Ordinary Shares on the last Trading Day in the applicable Succeeding Measurement Period. For the avoidance of doubt, to the extent that the Succeeding Market Price is in excess of the Monthly Conversion Price during the applicable prior Monthly Conversion Period, the Holder shall not be required to refund any Ordinary Shares nor shall the Company receive a credit in respect of such excess in connection with any following Monthly Payment. With respect to the final Monthly Payment, if the Company intends to pay such Monthly Payment in the form of Ordinary Shares, prior to the applicable Monthly Conversion Period (but not more than two (2) Trading Days prior to the commencement of the Monthly Conversion Period), the Company shall deliver to the Holder a number of Ordinary Shares to be applied against such Monthly Payment equal to the quotient of (x) the applicable Monthly Payment divided by (y) the lesser of (A) the Conversion Price and (B) 90% of the lowest closing bid price during the ten (10) Trading Day period preceding the delivery of such Ordinary Shares (the “Final Monthly Payment Provisional Conversion Price”). If the Monthly Conversion Price with respect to the final Payment Date is less than the Final Monthly Payment Provisional Conversion Price, then on the final Payment Date, the Company shall transfer to the Holder an additional number of Ordinary Shares equal to the amount of the final Monthly Payment divided by the difference between the Final Monthly Payment Provisional Conversion Price and the Monthly Conversion Price with respect to the final Payment Date. In connection with the foregoing, unless waived by the Company, the Holder agrees that in any Succeeding Measurement Period, it will not sell any Ordinary Shares received by the Holder from the Company in respect of the related Payment Date, on more than four (4) of the Trading Days during such Succeeding Measurement Period, which such four (4) Trading Days for the avoidance doubt need not be consecutive Trading Days.

1.4 Prepayment. At any time after the Issuance Date and provided that no Event of Default has occurred, but subject in all cases to the terms of the Purchase Agreement, the Maker may repay any portion of the outstanding Principal Amount upon at least ten (10) Trading Days’ written notice (the “Prepayment Notice Period”) of the Holder (the “Prepayment Notice”) by paying an amount equal to 110% of the Principal Amount then being prepaid (representing a 10% prepayment premium payable to the Holder which shall not constitute a principal repayment); provided that (i) the Equity Conditions are then met, (ii) the closing price of the Ordinary Shares on the Trading Day prior to the date of the Prepayment Notice is below the Conversion Price, and (iii) a registration statement registering all of the Conversion Shares issuable under this Note (assuming a conversion price equal to the Floor Price) and the Warrant Shares issuable under the Warrants shall have been declared effective. If the Maker elects to prepay this Note pursuant to the provisions of this Section 1.4, the Holder shall have the right, upon written notice to the Maker (a “Prepayment Conversion Notice”) within five (5) Trading Days of the Holder’s receipt of a Prepayment Notice, to convert up to all of the Principal at the Conversion Price (as defined below), in accordance with the provisions of Article 3, specifying the Principal Amount that the Holder will convert. Upon delivery of a Prepayment Notice, the Maker irrevocably and unconditionally agrees to, within five (5) Trading Days of receiving a Prepayment Conversion Notice, and if no Prepayment Conversion Notice is received, within ten (10) Trading Days of delivery of a Prepayment Notice: (i) repay the outstanding Principal Amount minus the Principal Amount set forth in the Prepayment Conversion Notice and (ii) issue the applicable Conversion Shares to the Holder in accordance with Article 3. The foregoing notwithstanding, the Maker may not deliver a Prepayment Notice with respect to any outstanding Principal Amount that is subject to a Conversion Notice delivered by the Holder in accordance with Article 3. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, any prepayments made under this Note, including the provisions of this Section 1.4, shall be subject in all cases to the terms of the Purchase Agreement. If any of the Equity Conditions shall cease to be satisfied at any time during the Prepayment Notice Period or if an Event of Default occurs, then the Holder may elect to nullify the Prepayment Notice by notice to the Company within 3 Trading Days after the first day on which any such Equity Condition has not been met or Event of Default has occurred (provided that if, by a provision of the Transaction Documents, the Company is obligated to notify the Holder of the non-existence of an Equity Condition, such notice period shall be extended to the third Trading Day after proper notice from the Company) in which case the Prepayment Notice shall be null and void, ab initio. The Company covenants and agrees that it will honor all Conversion Notices tendered from the time of delivery of the Prepayment Notice through the date all amounts owing thereon are due and paid in full.
1.5 Delisting from a Trading Market. If at any time the Ordinary Shares cease to be listed on a Trading Market, (i) the Holder may, after receiving the prior written consent of the Requisite Holders, deliver a demand for payment to the Company and, if such a demand is delivered, the Company shall, within ten (10) Business Days following receipt of the demand for payment from the Holder, pay all of the Outstanding Principal Amount or (ii) the Holder may, at its election and upon receiving the prior written consent of the Requisite Holders, after July 21, 2022 or earlier if a Registration Statement covering the Conversion Shares has been declared effective, upon notice to the Company in accordance with Section 5.1, convert all or a portion of the Outstanding Principal Amount at the Conversion Price. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, any payments made under this Note, including the provisions of this Section 1.5, shall be subject in all cases to the terms of the Purchase Agreement.
1.6 Payment on Non-Business Days. Whenever any payment to be made shall be due on a day which is not a Business Day, such payment may be due on the next succeeding Business Day.
1.7 Transfer. This Note may be transferred or sold, subject to the provisions of Section 5.8 of this Note, or pledged, hypothecated or otherwise granted as security by the Holder.

(p) any of the Key Executives (a) is indicted or convicted of a felony, or (b) unless replaced by the Company within 120 days by a successor reasonably satisfactory to the Requisite Holders, ceases to devote his or her full business time and efforts to the business of the Company, or dies, suffers any illness, injury, or other disability which has caused (or which the Requisite Holders in their reasonable discretion determines imminently will cause) him or her to be incapacitated or unable to act competently on his or her own behalf; or
(q) the occurrence of a Material Adverse Effect in respect of the Maker, or the Maker and its Subsidiaries taken as a whole which would reasonably be considered to substantially impair the ability of the Maker to satisfy its obligations in the Transaction Documents.

2.2 Remedies Upon an Event of Default.
(a) Upon the occurrence of any Event of Default that has not been remedied within (i) two (2) Business Days for an Event of Default occurring by the Company’s failure to comply with Section 7.1(c) of the Purchase Agreement or Section 3.2 of this Note, or (ii) ten (10) Business Days for all other Events of Default; provided, however, that there shall be no cure period for an Event of Default described in Section 2.1(g), or 2.1(h), the Maker shall be obligated to pay to the Holder the Mandatory Default Amount, which Mandatory Default Amount shall be earned by the Holder on the date the Event of Default giving rise thereto occurs and shall be due and payable on the earlier to occur of the Maturity Date, upon conversion, redemption or prepayment of this Note or the date on which all amounts owing hereunder have been accelerated in accordance with the terms hereof (provided all payments shall be subject to the provisions of the Purchase Agreement with respect to the holders of the Other Notes).
(b) Upon the occurrence of any Event of Default, the Maker shall, as promptly as possible but in any event within two (2) Business Day of the occurrence of such Event of Default, notify the Holder of the occurrence of such Event of Default, describing the event or factual situation giving rise to the Event of Default and specifying the relevant subsection or subsections of Section 2.1 hereof under which such Event of Default has occurred.
(c) If an Event of Default shall have occurred and shall not have been remedied within (i) two (2) Business Days for an Event of Default occurring by the Company’s failure to comply with Section 7.1(c) of the Purchase Agreement or Section 3.2 of this Note, or (ii) ten (10) Business Days for all other Events of Default; provided, however, that there shall be no cure period for an Event of Default described in Section 2.1(g), or 2.1(h), the Holder may at any time at its option, subject to receiving the prior written consent of the Requisite Holders, declare the Mandatory Default Amount due and payable, and thereupon, the same shall be accelerated and so due and payable, without presentment, demand, protest, or notice, all of which are hereby expressly unconditionally and irrevocably waived by the Maker; provided, however, that upon the occurrence of an Event of Default described above, the Holder, in its sole and absolute discretion, but subject to receiving the prior written consent of the Requisite Holders, may: (a) from time-to-time demand that all or a portion of the Outstanding Principal Amount be converted into Ordinary Shares at a price per share equal to 0.80 times the Market Price; provided, that, if at the time of such demand the Market Price is less than the Floor Price, and the Company desires to exercise a right to waive the Floor Price and issue Conversion Shares at less than the Floor Price, then in lieu of receiving such demanded portion of the Outstanding Principal Amount in Conversion Shares, the Holder may elect to receive a cash payment derived by multiplying (i) the number of Ordinary Shares which would have been required to be delivered pursuant to the above provisions by (ii) the VWAP of the Ordinary Shares on last Trading Day prior to the date of such demand; and provided, further however, that the conversion right set forth in this clause (a) shall not be exercisable by the Holder if, prior to such right being exercised, the Event of Default in question if capable of being cured, has been cured, or (b) exercise or otherwise enforce any one or more of the Holder’s rights, powers, privileges, remedies and interests under this Note, the Purchase Agreement, the other Transaction Documents or applicable law.

No course of delay on the part of the Holder (including because the Holder has not obtained the consent of the Requisite Holders) shall operate as a waiver thereof or otherwise prejudice the rights of the Holder. No remedy conferred hereby shall be exclusive of any other remedy referred to herein or now or hereafter available at law, in equity, by statute or otherwise. All payments shall be subject to the provisions of the Purchase Agreement with respect to the holders of the Other Notes.

ARTICLE 3
3.1 Conversion.
(a) Conversion. At any time following the date of effectiveness of a Registration Statement covering the applicable Conversion Shares (as set forth in the Purchase Agreement), this Note shall be convertible (in whole or in part), at the option of the Holder, into such number of fully paid and non-assessable Ordinary Shares as is determined by dividing (x) that portion of the Outstanding Principal Amount that the Holder elects to convert (the “Conversion Amount”) by (y) the Conversion Price then in effect on the date on which the Holder delivers a notice of conversion, in substantially the form attached hereto as Exhibit A (the “Conversion Notice”), in accordance with Section 5.1 to the Maker. The Holder shall deliver this Note to the Maker at the address designated in the Purchase Agreement at such time that this Note is fully converted. With respect to partial conversions of this Note, the Maker shall keep written records of the amount of this Note converted as of the date of such conversion (each, a “Conversion Date”).
(b) Conversion Price. The “Conversion Price” means $6.00, and shall be subject to adjustment as provided herein.
3.2 Delivery of Conversion Shares. As soon as practicable after any conversion or payment of any amount due hereunder in the form of Ordinary Shares in accordance with this Note, and in any event within two (2) Trading Days thereafter (such date, the “Share Delivery Date”), the Maker shall, at its expense, cause to be issued in the name of and delivered to the Holder, or as the Holder may direct, a certificate or certificates evidencing the number of fully paid and non-assessable Ordinary Shares to which the Holder shall be entitled on such conversion or payment (the “Conversion Shares”), in the applicable denominations based on the applicable conversion or payment, which certificate or certificates shall be free of restrictive and trading legends (except for any such legends as may be required under the 1933 Act). In lieu of delivering physical certificates for the Ordinary Shares issuable upon any conversion of this Note, provided the Company’s transfer agent is participating in the Depository Trust Company (“DTC”) Fast Automated Securities Transfer program or a similar program, upon request of the Holder, the Company shall cause its transfer agent to electronically transmit such Ordinary Shares issuable upon conversion of this Note to the Holder (or its designee), by crediting the account of the Holder’s (or such designee’s) broker with DTC through its Deposit Withdrawal Agent Commission system (provided that the same time periods herein as for stock certificates shall apply) as instructed by the Holder (or its designee).
10 |
3.3 Ownership Cap. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, the Holder shall not be entitled to receive shares representing Equity Interests upon conversion of this Note to the extent (but only to the extent) that such exercise or receipt would cause the Holder Group (as defined below) to become, directly or indirectly, a “beneficial owner” (within the meaning of Section 13(d) of the 1934 Act and the rules and regulations promulgated thereunder) of a number of Equity Interests of a class that is registered under the 1934 Act which exceeds the Maximum Percentage (as defined below) of the Equity Interests of such class that are outstanding at such time. Any purported delivery of Equity Interests in connection with the conversion of this Note prior to the termination of this restriction in accordance herewith shall be void and have no effect to the extent (but only to the extent) that such delivery would result in the Holder Group becoming the beneficial owner of more than the Maximum Percentage of the Equity Interests of a class that is registered under the 1934 Act that is outstanding at such time. If any delivery of Equity Interests owed to the Holder following conversion of this Note is not made, in whole or in part, as a result of this limitation, the Company’s obligation to make such delivery shall not be extinguished and the Company shall deliver such Equity Interests as promptly as practicable after the Holder gives notice to the Company that such delivery would not result in such limitation being triggered or upon termination of the restriction in accordance with the terms hereof. To the extent limitations contained in this Section 3.3 apply, the determination of whether this Note is convertible and of which portion of this Note is convertible shall be the sole responsibility and in the sole determination of the Holder, and the submission of a notice of conversion shall be deemed to constitute the Holder’s determination that the issuance of the full number of Conversion Shares requested in the notice of conversion is permitted hereunder, and the Company shall not have any obligation to verify or confirm the accuracy of such determination. For purposes of this Section 3.3, (i) the term “Maximum Percentage” shall mean 4.99%; provided, that if at any time after the date hereof the Holder Group beneficially owns in excess of 4.99% of any class of Equity Interests in the Company that is registered under the 1934 Act, then the Maximum Percentage shall automatically increase to 9.99% so long as the Holder Group owns in excess of 4.99% of such class of Equity Interests (and shall, for the avoidance of doubt, automatically decrease to 4.99% upon the Holder Group ceasing to own in excess of 4.99% of such class of Equity Interests); and (ii) the term “Holder Group” shall mean the Holder plus any other Person with which the Holder is considered to be part of a group under Section 13 of the 1934 Act or with which the Holder otherwise files reports under Sections 13 and/or 16 of the 1934 Act. In determining the number of Equity Interests of a particular class outstanding at any point in time, the Holder may rely on the number of outstanding Equity Interests of such class as reflected in (x) the Company’s most recent Form 20-F or Form 6-K filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission, as the case may be, (y) a more recent public announcement by the Company or (z) a more recent notice by the Company or its transfer agent to the Holder setting forth the number of Equity Interests of such class then outstanding. For any reason at any time, upon written or oral request of the Holder, the Company shall, within one (1) Business Day of such request, confirm orally and in writing to the Holder the number of Equity Interests of any class then outstanding. The provisions of this Section 3.3 shall be construed, corrected and implemented in a manner so as to effectuate the intended beneficial ownership limitation herein contained.
11 |
3.4 Adjustment of Conversion Price.
(a) Until the Note has been paid in full or converted in full, the Conversion Price shall be subject to adjustment from time to time as follows (but shall not be increased, other than pursuant to Section 3.4(a)(i) hereof):
(i) Adjustments for Stock Splits and Combinations. If the Maker shall at any time or from time to time after the Closing Date (but whether before or after the Issuance Date) effect a split of the outstanding Ordinary Shares, the applicable Conversion Price in effect immediately prior to the stock split shall be proportionately decreased. If the Maker shall at any time or from time to time after the Closing Date (but whether before or after the Issuance Date), combine the outstanding Ordinary Shares, the applicable Conversion Price in effect immediately prior to the combination shall be proportionately increased. Any adjustments under this Section 3.4(a)(i) shall be effective at the close of business on the date the stock split or combination occurs.
ii) Adjustments for Certain Dividends and Distributions. If the Maker shall at any time or from time to time after the Closing Date (but whether before or after the Issuance Date) make or issue or set a record date for the determination of holders of Ordinary Shares entitled to receive a dividend or other distribution payable in Ordinary Shares, then, and in each event, the applicable Conversion Price in effect immediately prior to such event shall be decreased as of the time of such issuance or, in the event such record date shall have been fixed, as of the close of business on such record date, by multiplying the applicable Conversion Price then in effect by a fraction:
(1) the numerator of which shall be the total number of Ordinary Shares issued and outstanding immediately prior to the time of such issuance or the close of business on such record date; and
(2) the denominator of which shall be the total number of Ordinary Shares issued and outstanding immediately prior to the time of such issuance or the close of business on such record date plus the number of Ordinary Shares issuable in payment of such dividend or distribution.
(iii) Adjustment for Other Dividends and Distributions. If the Maker shall at any time or from time to time after the Closing Date (but whether before or after the Issuance Date) make or issue or set a record date for the determination of holders of Ordinary Shares entitled to receive a dividend or other distribution payable in other Ordinary Shares, then, and in each event, an appropriate revision to the applicable Conversion Price shall be made and provision shall be made (by adjustments of the Conversion Price or otherwise) so that the Holder of this Note shall receive upon conversions thereof, in addition to the number of Ordinary Shares receivable thereon, the number of securities of the Maker or other issuer (as applicable) or other property that it would have received had this Note been converted into Ordinary Shares in full (without regard to any conversion limitations herein) on the date of such event and had thereafter, during the period from the date of such event to and including the Conversion Date, retained such securities (together with any distributions payable thereon during such period) or assets, giving application to all adjustments called for during such period under this Section 3.4(a)(iii) with respect to the rights of the holders of this Note; provided, however, that if such record date shall have been fixed and such dividend is not fully paid or if such distribution is not fully made on the date fixed therefor, the Conversion Price shall be adjusted pursuant to this paragraph as of the time of actual payment of such dividends or distributions.
12 |
(iv) Adjustments for Reclassification, Exchange or Substitution. If the Ordinary Shares at any time or from time to time after the Closing Date (but whether before or after the Issuance Date) shall be changed to the same or different number of shares or other securities of any class or classes of stock or other property, whether by reclassification, exchange, substitution or otherwise (other than by way of a stock split or combination of shares or stock dividends provided for in Sections 3.4(a)(i), (ii) and (iii) hereof, or a reorganization, merger, consolidation, or sale of assets provided for in Section 3.4(a)(v) hereof), then, and in each event, an appropriate revision to the Conversion Price shall be made and provisions shall be made (by adjustments of the Conversion Price or otherwise) so that the Holder shall have the right thereafter to convert this Note into the kind and amount of shares of stock or other securities or other property receivable upon reclassification, exchange, substitution or other change, by holders of the number of Ordinary Shares into which such Note might have been converted immediately prior to such reclassification, exchange, substitution or other change, all subject to further adjustment as provided herein.
(v) Adjustment Due to Dilutive Issuance. If, at any time when any Notes are issued and outstanding, the Company issues or sells, or in accordance with this Section 3.4(a)(v) hereof is deemed to have issued or sold, except for Ordinary Shares issued in an issuance of Exempt Securities (as defined in the Purchase Agreement), any Ordinary Shares for a consideration per share (before deduction of reasonable expenses or commissions or underwriting discounts or allowances in connection therewith) less than the Conversion Price in effect on the date of such issuance (or deemed issuance) of such Ordinary Shares (a “Dilutive Issuance”), then immediately upon the Dilutive Issuance, the Conversion Price will be reduced to the amount of the consideration per share received by the Company in such Dilutive Issuance.
The Company shall be deemed to have issued or sold Ordinary Shares if the Company in any manner issues or grants any warrants, rights or options (not including employee stock option plans), whether or not immediately exercisable, to subscribe for or to purchase Ordinary Shares or other securities convertible into or exchangeable for Ordinary Shares (“Convertible Securities”) (such warrants, rights and options to Ordinary Shares or Convertible Securities are hereinafter referred to as “Options”) and the price per share for which such Ordinary Shares are issuable upon the exercise of such Options is less than the Conversion Price then in effect, then the Conversion Price shall be equal to such price per share. For purposes of the preceding sentence, the “price per share for which such Ordinary Shares are issuable upon the exercise of such Options” is determined by dividing (i) the total amount, if any, received or receivable by the Company as consideration for the issuance or granting of all such Options, plus the minimum aggregate amount of additional consideration, if any, payable to the Company upon the exercise of all such Options, plus, in the case of Convertible Securities issuable upon the exercise of such Options, the minimum aggregate amount of additional consideration payable upon the conversion or exchange thereof at the time such Convertible Securities first become convertible or exchangeable, by (ii) the maximum total number of Ordinary Shares issuable upon the exercise of all such Options (assuming full conversion of Convertible Securities, if applicable). No further adjustment to the Conversion Price will be made upon the actual issuance of such Ordinary Shares upon the exercise of such Options or upon the conversion or exchange of Convertible Securities issuable upon exercise of such Options.
13 |
Additionally, the Company shall be deemed to have issued or sold Ordinary Shares if the Company in any manner issues or sells any Convertible Securities, whether or not immediately convertible (other than in an issuance of Exempt Securities), and the price per share for which such Ordinary Shares are issuable upon such conversion or exchange is less than the Conversion Price then in effect, then the Conversion Price shall be equal to such price per share. For the purposes of the preceding sentence, the “price per share for which such Ordinary Shares are issuable upon such conversion or exchange” is determined by dividing (i) the total amount, if any, received or receivable by the Company as consideration for the issuance or sale of all such Convertible Securities, plus the minimum aggregate amount of additional consideration, if any, payable to the Company upon the conversion or exchange thereof at the time such Convertible Securities first become convertible or exchangeable, by (ii) the maximum total number of Ordinary Shares issuable upon the conversion or exchange of all such Convertible Securities. No further adjustment to the Conversion Price will be made upon the actual issuance of such Ordinary Shares upon conversion or exchange of such Convertible Securities.
(vi) Reserved.
(vii) Consideration for Stock. In case any Ordinary Shares or any Common Stock Equivalents shall be issued or sold:
(1) in connection with any merger or consolidation in which the Maker is the surviving corporation (other than any consolidation or merger in which the previously outstanding Ordinary Shares of the Maker shall be changed to or exchanged for the stock or other securities of another corporation), the amount of consideration therefor shall be, deemed to be the fair value, as determined reasonably and in good faith by the Board of Directors of the Maker and approved by the Requisite Holders, of such portion of the assets and business of the nonsurviving corporation as such Board of Directors may determine to be attributable to such Ordinary Shares, Convertible Securities, rights or warrants or options, as the case may be; or
(2) in the event of any consolidation or merger of the Maker in which the Maker is not the surviving corporation or in which the previously outstanding Ordinary Shares of the Maker shall be changed into or exchanged for the stock or other securities of another corporation or other property, or in the event of any sale of all or substantially all of the assets of the Maker for stock or other securities or other property of any corporation, the Maker shall be deemed to have issued Ordinary Shares, at a price per share equal to the valuation of the Maker’s Ordinary Shares based on the actual exchange ratio on which the transaction was predicated, as applicable, and the fair market value on the date of such transaction of all such stock or securities or other property of the other corporation. If any such calculation results in adjustment of the applicable Conversion Price, or the number of Ordinary Shares issuable upon conversion of the Note, the determination of the applicable Conversion Price or the number of Ordinary Shares issuable upon conversion of the Note immediately prior to such merger, consolidation or sale, shall be made after giving effect to such adjustment of the number of Ordinary Shares issuable upon conversion of the Note. In the event Ordinary Shares are issued with other shares or securities or other assets of the Maker for consideration which covers both, the consideration computed as provided in this Section 3.4(a)(vii) shall be allocated among such securities and assets as determined in good faith by the Board of Directors of the Maker, and approved by the Requisite Holders.
14 |
(viii) Record Date. In case the Maker shall take record of the holders of its Ordinary Shares for the purpose of entitling them to subscribe for or purchase Ordinary Shares or Convertible Securities, then the date of the issue or sale of the Ordinary Shares shall be deemed to be such record date.
(b) No Impairment. The Maker shall not, by amendment of its Amended and Restated Memorandum and Articles of Association or through any reorganization, transfer of assets, consolidation, merger, dissolution, issue or sale of securities or any other voluntary action, avoid or seek to avoid the observance or performance of any of the terms to be observed or performed hereunder by the Maker, but will at all times in good faith assist in the carrying out of all the provisions of this Section 3.4 and in the taking of all such action as may be necessary or appropriate in order to protect the conversion rights of the Holder against impairment. In the event the Holder shall elect to convert this Note as provided herein, the Maker cannot refuse conversion based on any claim that the Holder or anyone associated or affiliated with the Holder has been engaged in any violation of law, violation of an agreement to which the Holder is a party or for any reason whatsoever, unless, an injunction from a court, or notice, restraining and or adjoining conversion of this Note shall have issued and the Maker posts a surety bond for the benefit of the Holder in an amount equal to one hundred fifty percent (150%) of the Outstanding Principal Amount the Holder has elected to convert, which bond shall remain in effect until the completion of arbitration/litigation of the dispute and the proceeds of which shall be payable to the Holder (as liquidated damages) in the event it obtains judgment.
(c) Certificates as to Adjustments. Upon occurrence of each adjustment or readjustment of the Conversion Price or number of Ordinary Shares issuable upon conversion of this Note pursuant to this Section 3.4, the Maker at its expense shall promptly compute such adjustment or readjustment in accordance with the terms hereof and furnish to the Holder a certificate setting forth such adjustment and readjustment, showing in detail the facts upon which such adjustment or readjustment is based. The Maker shall, upon written request of the Holder, at any time, furnish or cause to be furnished to the Holder a like certificate setting forth such adjustments and readjustments, the applicable Conversion Price in effect at the time, and the number of Ordinary Shares and the amount, if any, of other securities or property which at the time would be received upon the conversion of this Note. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Maker shall not be obligated to deliver a certificate unless such certificate would reflect an increase or decrease of at least one percent (1%) of such adjusted amount.
(d) Issue Taxes. The Maker shall pay any and all issue and other taxes, excluding federal, state or local income taxes, that may be payable in respect of any issue or delivery of Ordinary Shares on conversion of this Note pursuant thereto; provided, however, that the Maker shall not be obligated to pay any transfer taxes resulting from any transfer requested by the Holder in connection with any such conversion.
(e) Fractional Shares. No fractional Ordinary Shares shall be issued upon conversion of this Note. In lieu of any fractional shares to which the Holder would otherwise be entitled, the Maker shall pay cash equal such fractional shares multiplied by the Conversion Price then in effect.
(f) Reservation of Ordinary Shares. The Maker shall at all while this Note shall be outstanding, reserve and keep available out of its authorized but Ordinary Shares, the Required Minimum of Ordinary Shares (disregarding for this purpose any and all limitations of any kind on such conversion). The Maker shall, from time to time, increase the authorized number of Ordinary Shares or take other effective action if at any time the unissued number of authorized shares shall not be sufficient to satisfy the Maker’s obligations under this Section 3.4(f).
15 |
(g) Regulatory Compliance. If any Ordinary Shares to be reserved for the purpose of conversion of this Note require registration or listing with or approval of any governmental authority, stock exchange or other regulatory body under any federal or state law or regulation or otherwise before such shares may be validly issued or delivered upon conversion, the Maker shall, at its sole cost and expense, in good faith and as expeditiously as possible, secure such registration, listing or approval, as the case may be.
(h) Effect of Events Prior to the Issuance Date. If between the date of issuance of the Amended Original Note (the “Original Issuance Date”) and the Issuance Date the Conversion Price or any other right of the Holder of this Note would have been adjusted or modified by operation of any provision of this Note had this Note been issued as of the Original Issuance Date, such adjustment or modification shall be deemed to apply to this Note as of the Issuance Date as if this Note had been issued on the Original Issuance Date.
3.5 Prepayment Following a Change of Control.
(a) Mechanics of Prepayment at Option of Holder in Connection with a Change of Control. No later than fifteen (15) days following the entry by the Company into an agreement for a Change of Control, but in no event prior to the public announcement of such Change of Control, the Maker shall deliver written notice describing the entry into such agreement (“Notice of Change of Control”) to the Holder. Within fifteen (15) days after receipt of a Notice of Change of Control, the Requisite Holders may require the Maker to prepay, effective immediately prior to the consummation of such Change of Control, an amount equal to 105% of the Outstanding Principal Amount (the “COC Repayment Price”), by delivering written notice thereof (“Notice of Prepayment at Option of Holder Upon Change of Control”) to the Maker.
(b) Payment of COC Repayment Price. Upon the Maker’s receipt of a Notice(s) of Prepayment at Option of Holder Upon Change of Control from the Requisite Holders, the Maker shall deliver the COC Repayment Price to the Holder immediately prior to the consummation of the Change of Control; provided that this Note shall have been so delivered to the Maker, and, provided, further that all payments shall be subject to the provisions of the Purchase Agreement with respect to the holders of the Other Notes.
3.6 Inability to Fully Convert.
(a) Holder’s Option if Maker Cannot Fully Convert. If, upon the Maker’s receipt of a Conversion Notice or as otherwise required under this Note, including with respect to repayment of principal in Ordinary Shares as permitted under this Note, the Maker cannot issue Ordinary Shares for any reason, including, without limitation, because the Maker (x) does not have a sufficient number of Ordinary Shares authorized and available or (y) is otherwise prohibited by applicable law or by the rules or regulations of any stock exchange, interdealer quotation system or other self-regulatory organization with jurisdiction over the Maker or any of its securities from issuing all of the Ordinary Shares which are to be issued to the Holder pursuant to this Note, then the Maker shall issue as many Ordinary Shares as it is able to issue and, with respect to the unconverted portion of this Note or with respect to any Ordinary Shares not timely issued in accordance with this Note, the Holder, solely at Holder’s option, can elect to:
(i) require the Maker to prepay that portion of this Note for which the Maker is unable to issue Ordinary Shares or for which Ordinary Shares were not timely issued (the “Mandatory Prepayment”) at a price equal to the number of Ordinary Shares that the Maker is unable to issue multiplied by the Conversion Price on the date of the Conversion Notice (the “Mandatory Prepayment Price”) (provided all payments shall be subject to the provisions of the Purchase Agreement with respect to the holders of the Other Notes);
16 |
(ii) void its Conversion Notice and retain or have returned, as the case may be, this Note that was to be converted pursuant to the Conversion Notice (provided that the Holder’s voiding its Conversion Notice shall not affect the Maker’s obligations to make any payments which have accrued prior to the date of such notice); or
(iii) defer issuance of the applicable Conversion Shares until such time as the Maker can legally issue such shares; provided that the Principal Amount underlying such Conversion Shares shall remain outstanding until the delivery of such Conversion Shares; and provided, further, that if the Holder elects to defer the issuance of the Conversion Shares, it may exercise its rights under either clause (i) or (ii) above at any time prior to the issuance of the Conversion Shares upon two (2) Business Days’ notice to the Maker.
(b) Mechanics of Fulfilling Holder’s Election. The Maker shall immediately send to the Holder, upon receipt of a Conversion Notice from the Holder, which cannot be fully satisfied as described in Section 3.6(a) above, a notice of the Maker’s inability to fully satisfy the Conversion Notice (the “Inability to Fully Convert Notice”). Such Inability to Fully Convert Notice shall indicate (i) the reason why the Maker is unable to fully satisfy the Holder’s Conversion Notice; and (ii) the amount of this Note which cannot be converted. The Holder shall notify the Maker of its election pursuant to Section 3.6(a) above by delivering written notice to the Maker (“Notice in Response to Inability to Convert”).
(c) Payment of Mandatory Prepayment Price. If the Holder shall elect to have its Note prepaid pursuant to Section 3.6(a)(i) above, the Maker shall pay the Mandatory Prepayment Price to the Holder within five (5) Business Days of the Maker’s receipt of the Holder’s Notice in Response to Inability to Convert; provided that prior to the Maker’s receipt of the Holder’s Notice in Response to Inability to Convert the Maker has not delivered a notice to the Holder stating, to the satisfaction of the Holder, that the event or condition resulting in the Mandatory Prepayment has been cured and all Conversion Shares issuable to the Holder can and will be delivered to the Holder in accordance with the terms of this Note. If the Maker shall fail to pay the applicable Mandatory Prepayment Price to the Holder on the date that is two (2) Business Days following the Maker’s receipt of the Holder’s Notice in Response to Inability to Convert, in addition to any remedy the Holder may have under this Note and the Purchase Agreement, such unpaid amount shall bear interest at the rate of two percent (2%) per month (prorated for partial months) until paid in full. Until the full Mandatory Prepayment Price is paid in full to the Holder, the Holder may (i) void the Mandatory Prepayment with respect to that portion of the Note for which the full Mandatory Prepayment Price has not been paid and (ii) receive back such Note.
(d) No Rights as Shareholder. Nothing contained in this Note shall be construed as conferring upon the Holder, prior to the conversion of this Note, the right to vote or to receive dividends or to consent or to receive notice as a shareholder of the Company in respect of any meeting of shareholders for the election of directors of the Maker or of any other matter, or any other rights as a shareholder of the Maker.
