Any such forward-looking statements, including, but not limited to, financial guidance, are made pursuant to the safe harbor provisions of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995. Forward-looking statements include all statements that do not directly or exclusively relate to historical facts.

Although we believe that the expectations reflected in these forward-looking statements are reasonable, these expectations may not be achieved. Forward-looking statements are neither historical facts nor assurances of future performance. Instead, they represent our intentions, plans, expectations, assumptions, and beliefs about future events and are subject to known and unknown risks, uncertainties and other factors outside of our control that could cause our actual results, performance or achievement to differ materially from those expressed or implied by these forward-looking statements. In addition to the risks described above, these risks and uncertainties include: our ability to successfully execute our business strategies, including integration of acquisitions and the future acquisition of other businesses to grow our company; customers’ cancellation on short notice of master service agreements from which we derive a significant portion of our revenue or our failure to renew such master service agreements on favorable terms or at all; our ability to attract and retain key personnel and skilled labor to meet the requirements of our labor-intensive business or labor difficulties which could have an effect on our ability to bid for and successfully complete contracts; the ultimate geographic spread, duration and severity of the coronavirus outbreak and the effectiveness of actions taken, or actions that may be taken, by governmental authorities to contain the outbreak or ameliorate its effects; our failure to compete effectively in our highly competitive industry could reduce the number of new contracts awarded to us or adversely affect our market share and harm our financial performance; our ability to adopt and master new technologies and adjust certain fixed costs and expenses to adapt to our industry’s and customers’ evolving demands; our history of losses, deficiency in working capital and stockholders’ equity and our ability to achieve sustained profitability; remaining weaknesses in our internal control over financial reporting and our ability to maintain effective controls over financial reporting in the future; our remaining liabilities and indebtedness could adversely affect our business, financial condition and results of operations and our ability to meet our payment obligations; unanticipated and materially adverse developments in our few remaining litigations; the impact of new or changed laws, regulations or other industry standards that could adversely affect our ability to conduct our business; and changes in general market, economic and political conditions in the United States and global economies or financial markets, including those resulting from natural or man-made disasters.

Freight Connections was founded in 2016 and is a privately held transportation and logistics carrier headquartered in Ridgefield Park, New Jersey. With annual revenues of $8.0 million in 2021 and approximately $4.7 million for the first six months of 2022, Freight Connections currently operates with 30 power units and 50 trailers, including dry vans, pups, flatbeds, step decks, and double drop trailers out of three buildings in the area with 200,000 square feet of warehouse and cross dock space, strategically located within one mile of each other.

The promissory note is secured solely by the assets of Freight Connections.); and (iii) assumed $341,605 in debt. The Company shall issue to the Seller stock of the Company, with a value at Closing of $3,513,571 as follows: (a) shares of common stock of the Company equal to no more than 4.99% of the number of shares of common stock outstanding immediately after such issuance, and (b) promptly after closing, the balance of the shares in Series H Convertible Preferred Stock, a new series of non-voting, convertible preferred stock issuable to sellers in connection with acquisitions or strategic transactions approved by a majority of the directors of the Company.

(e) Notwithstanding the foregoing, nothing contained in this Agreement shall prohibit Employee from purchasing and holding as an investment not more than 5% of any class of the issued and outstanding and publicly traded (on a recognized national or regional securities exchange or in the over-the-counter market) security of any corporation, partnership or other business entity that conducts a business in competition with FC, the Corporation, TLSS or any of their respective affiliates and of which he is not a consultant, employee, officer, or director.

 

4

 

 

(f) Employee is agreeing to these provisions in material consideration of the agreement of FC to enter into the other provisions of this Agreement. Furthermore, in the event FC or the Corporation fail to satisfy any consideration payment due to the Employee under the Stock Purchase and Sale Agreement by and between the FC, Lender and TLSS-FC, Inc., a Delaware corporation dated as of May 23, 2022, as assigned and amended (the “SPA”), and the corresponding closing documents, including, the secured promissory note dated as of the date hereof, after the expiration of all applicable notice, grace and cure periods, then the restrictions set forth in Section 7(b), (c) and (d) hereof, shall immediately cease.

 

(g) Employee agrees that any claim for breach of this Section 7 against Employee may be brought by FC, or any subsidiary or affiliate of FC in lieu of FC. Employee shall not raise any failure of FC or any such subsidiary or affiliate to qualify as a foreign entity to conduct business in any given jurisdiction as a defense to any action brought by FC or any such subsidiary or affiliate.

 

(h) Employee acknowledges and agrees that the covenants contained in this Section 7 are fair and reasonable and of a special unique character which gives them peculiar value and FC would not have entered into this Agreement without such covenants being made. However, if any such covenants shall be determined by any court to be invalid by reason of their duration or geographical scope, such duration or geographic scope, or both, as the case may be, shall be considered to be reduced to the longest duration or greatest geographic scope, or both, which will cure such invalidity. Employee further acknowledges that because of the difficulty of measuring economic losses to FC, the Corporation, TLSS or any of their respective affiliates as a result of any breach by Employee of the covenants in this Section 7, and because of the immediate and irreparable damage that could be caused to FC, the Corporation, TLSS or any of their respective affiliates for which it would have no other adequate remedy, Employee agrees that the Corporation, TLSS or any of their respective affiliates may enforce the provisions of this Section 7 by injunctions and restraining orders against such Employee in any court of competent jurisdiction and shall not be required to post a bond or other security in connection with any such action.

 

(i) Employee acknowledges that the limitations set forth in this Section 7 shall not prevent Employee from earning a livelihood after Employee leaves FC’s employ, but simply prevent unfair competition against FC, the Corporation, TLSS or any of their respective affiliates for a limited period.

 

8. Patents; Copyrights. Any interest in patents, patent applications, inventions, copyrights, developments, and processes (“Inventions”) which Employee during the period he is employed by FC under this Agreement may develop relating to the fields in which FC may then be engaged shall belong to FC; and forthwith upon request of FC and at no cost to FC, Employee shall execute all such assignments and other documents and take all such other action as FC may reasonably request in order to vest in FC all of his right, title, and interest in and to such Inventions, free and clear of all liens, charges, and encumbrances.

In such event, FC shall continue to pay Employee’s Salary as in effect at the time of such disability for a period of three (3) months from the date of such disability; provided, that such amounts shall be offset by any amounts otherwise paid to Employee under FC’s then-existing disability program, if any. In the event Employee obtains his own disability insurance policy, FC may elect, in the sole and absolute discretion of the Board, to supplement such disability policy.

 

(d) In the event that Employee shall die, then this Agreement shall terminate on the date of his death, and no post-death compensation shall be payable to him hereunder, except for earned but unpaid Base Salary, earned bonuses, vested benefits, if any, and as may otherwise be provided under this Employment Agreement.

 

(e) In the event that this Agreement is terminated pursuant to a for Cause termination pursuant to Section 9(a), then Employee shall be entitled to receive only his Base Salary at the rate provided in Section 3 to the date on which termination shall take effect and payment of any accrued but unpaid bonuses earned, accrued vacation pay any another vested benefits.

 

(f) In the event Employee voluntarily resigns from FC during the Employment Term, this Agreement shall terminate effective upon the date such termination shall take effect and Employee shall be entitled to receive only his Base Salary to the date on which the termination shall take effect and payment of any accrued but unpaid bonuses earned, accrued vacation pay and any other vested benefits.

 

10. Separation Pay. If this Employment Agreement is terminated (i) by FC without Cause (including as a result of the Employee’s death or Disability), (ii) by you for “Good Reason” (as hereinafter defined), or (ii) the Employment Term is not renewed by FC at the end of the Employment Term, then FC shall: (a) continue to pay to Employee one-twelfth (1/12) of the annual Base Salary each month for a twelve month (12) month period commencing on the first scheduled payroll date immediately following the Termination Date, at the rate in effect at the time of termination, payable in accordance with FC’s normal payroll practices until the end of Employment Term; (b) pay to you a single lump sum payment of all accrued but unpaid bonuses earned, such amount payable on the first scheduled payroll date immediately following the Termination Date; (c) pay to you a single lump sum payment of all accrued but unpaid vacation pay or other benefits earned; and (d) to the extent unvested, fully accelerate the vesting of any outstanding options or equity grants such that all outstanding options and/or equity grants are fully vested as of the Termination Date.

 

6

 

 

For purposes hereof, “Good Reason” shall mean any one of the following: (i) the material reduction of Employee’s Base Salary, Bonus Milestones and/or bonus potential, and/or stock option grant; (ii) the material reduction of Employee’s duties and responsibilities as set forth herein (including material reduction in status, material reduction in offices and/or a requirement to report to any person or entity other than the Board of the FC or the Chief Executive Officer of the Corporation; (iii) FC’s material breach of this Agreement; or (iv) a change in Employee’s place of work.

 

Employee will not be deemed to have Good Reason unless (i) Employee first provides the Board with written notice of the condition giving rise to Good Reason within thirty (30) days of its initial occurrence (ii) FC fails to cure such condition within thirty (30) days after receiving such written notice (the “Cure Period”), and (iii) Employee’s resignation based on such Good Reason is effective within thirty (30) days after the expiration of the Cure Period.

In the event of any dispute arising out of this Agreement, whether such dispute gives rise to a cause of action sounding in contract and/or tort, and/or whether based on a statute or case law, including, without limitation, the breach of the covenant of “good faith” and “fair dealing,” or otherwise, the parties agree to submit any and all such dispute(s) (if any) to final and binding arbitration pursuant to the Rules of the American Arbitration Association with the venue of all arbitration hearing(s) to be in Englewood Cliffs, New Jersey, or such other place(s) within the State of New Jersey as the parties may agree to in writing. Judgment upon the award rendered by the arbitrator may be entered in any New Jersey court having jurisdiction thereof. Each party shall be responsible for its own fees and expenses associated with the arbitration and the parties shall equally share the costs of the arbitration.

 

12. Merger, Etc.

Exhibit 10.3

 

CERTIFICATE OF DESIGNATION, PREFERENCES, RIGHTS AND

LIMITATIONS OF SERIES H CONVERTIBLE PREFERRED STOCK OF TRANSPORTATION AND LOGISTICS SYSTEMS, INC.

 

I, Sebastian Giordano, hereby certify that I am the Chief Executive Officer of Transportation and Logistics Systems, Inc. (the “Corporation”), a corporation organized and existing under the Nevada Revised Statutes, and further do hereby certify:

 

That pursuant to the authority expressly conferred upon the Board of Directors of the Corporation (the “Board”) by the Corporation’s Articles of Incorporation (the “Articles of Incorporation”), the Board, on September 16, 2022, adopted the following Certificate of Designation, Preferences, Rights and Limitations of Series H Convertible Preferred Stock of the Corporation (the “Certificate of Designation”) for a series of shares of preferred stock designated as Series H Convertible Preferred Stock (the “Series H”), none of which shares has been issued previously:

 

Series H Convertible Preferred Stock

 

The Corporation hereby designates a series of preferred stock, consisting of 35,000 shares, as Series H Convertible Preferred Stock and fixes the rights, powers, preferences, privileges and restrictions relating to such series, in addition to any set forth in the Articles of Incorporation, as follows:

 

1. Voting Rights. Except as otherwise specifically provided by law, the Articles of Incorporation or this Certificate of Designation, the holders of Series H (each a “Holder” and, collectively, the “Holders”) shall have no voting rights, but in in the case of a non-waivable right to vote, each share of Series H shall have one vote, and the Holders of Series H shall vote together with the holders of the Corporation’s common stock, par value $0.001 per share (the “Common Stock”), as a single class. The voting rights of each Holder shall be subject to the Beneficial Ownership Limitation contained in Section 5.

 

2. Liquidation. Upon the liquidation, dissolution or winding up of the business of the Corporation, whether voluntary or involuntary, each Holder shall be entitled to receive out of assets of the Corporation legally available therefor the same amount that a holder of the Corporation’s Common Stock would receive on an as-converted basis (without regard to the Beneficial Ownership Limitation (defined below) or any other conversion limitations hereunder). The right of a Series H Holder to receive such payment shall be preferential to the right of holders of Common Stock, but shall be subordinate to the rights of the holder of any other series of preferred stock of the Corporation. Any distribution in connection with the liquidation, dissolution or winding up of the Corporation, or any bankruptcy or insolvency proceeding, shall be made in cash to the extent practicable, and otherwise in kind.

 

3. Remedies, Characterizations. Other Obligations, Breaches and Injunctive Relief. The remedies provided in this Certificate of Designation shall be cumulative and in addition to all other remedies available under this Certificate of Designation, at law or in equity (including a decree of specific performance and/or other injunctive relief), no remedy contained herein shall be deemed a waiver of compliance with the provisions giving rise to such remedy, and nothing herein shall limit a Holder’s right to pursue actual damages for any failure by the Corporation to comply with the terms of this Certificate of Designation.

 

4. Conversion. Each share of Series H shall be convertible into 10,000 shares of Common Stock by signed notice to the Corporation and the Corporation’s transfer agent for Common Stock, subject to the limitations set forth herein.

 

 

 

 

5. Conversion Limitations. The Corporation shall not effect any conversion of the Series H, and a Holder shall not have the right to convert such Series H, to the extent that, after giving effect to the proposed conversion, the Holder (together with the Holder’s affiliates and any persons acting as a group together with the Holder or any of the Holder’s affiliates) would beneficially own in excess of the Beneficial Ownership Limitation. For purposes of the foregoing sentence, the number of shares of Common Stock beneficially owned by the Holder and its affiliates shall include the number of shares of Common Stock issuable upon conversion of the Series H with respect to which such determination is being made, but shall exclude the number of shares of Common Stock which are issuable upon (i) conversion of the remaining, unconverted Series H owned by the Holder or any of its affiliates and (ii) exercise or conversion of the unexercised or unconverted portion of any other securities of the Corporation subject to a limitation on conversion or exercise analogous to the limitation contained herein beneficially owned by the Holder or any of its affiliates. Except as set forth in the preceding sentence, for purposes of this Section 5, beneficial ownership shall be calculated in accordance with Section 12(d) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, and the rules and regulations promulgated thereunder. To the extent that the limitation contained in this Section 5 applies, the determination of whether any Series H is convertible shall be in the sole discretion of the Holder, and the submission of a notice of conversion shall be deemed to be the Holder’s determination of whether the Series H may be converted, in each case subject to the Beneficial Ownership Limitation. For purposes of this Section 5, in determining the number of outstanding shares of Common Stock, the Holder may rely on the number of outstanding shares of Common Stock as stated in the most recent of the following: (i) the Corporation’s most recent periodic or annual report filed with the SEC, as the case may be, (ii) a more recent public announcement by the Corporation, or (iii) a more recent written notice by the Corporation or the Corporation’s transfer agent setting forth the number of shares of Common Stock outstanding. Upon the written or oral request of a Holder, the Corporation shall within one Trading Day confirm orally and in writing to the Holder the number of shares of Common Stock then outstanding. The “Beneficial Ownership Limitation” shall be 4.99% of the number of shares of the Common Stock outstanding immediately after giving effect to the issuance of shares of Common Stock issuable upon conversion of this Series H held by the Holder. The Holder and the Corporation, by mutual consent, may increase or decrease the Beneficial Ownership Limitation provisions of this Section 5, provided that the Beneficial Ownership Limitation in no event exceeds 9.99% of the number of shares of the Common Stock outstanding immediately after giving effect to the issuance of shares of Common Stock upon conversion of the Series H held by the Holder, and the Beneficial Ownership Limitation provisions of this Section 5 shall continue to apply. Any such increase or decrease will not be effective until the 61st day after the written approval of such increase or decrease by the Holder and the Corporation. The Beneficial Ownership Limitation provisions of this paragraph shall be construed and implemented in a manner otherwise than in strict conformity with the terms of this Section 5 to correct this paragraph (or any portion hereof) which may be defective or inconsistent with the intended Beneficial Ownership Limitation contained herein or to make changes or supplements necessary or desirable to properly give effect to such limitation. The limitations contained in this Section 5 shall apply to a successor Holder of the Series H. For the purposes of this Certificate of Designation, the term “Trading Day” shall mean any day on which the Common Stock is eligible to be traded on the securities exchange or market on which the Common Stock is then traded, provided that “Trading Day” shall not include any day on which the Common Stock is scheduled to trade on such exchange or market for less than 4.5 hours or any day that the Common Stock is suspended from trading during the final hour of trading on such exchange or market (or if such exchange or market does not designate in advance the closing time of trading on such exchange or market, then during the hour ending at 4:00:00 p.m., New York, NY time) unless such day is otherwise designated as a Trading Day in writing by the Holder.

 

 

 

 

6. Stock Dividends and Stock Splits. If the Corporation, at any time while any Series H share is outstanding: (i) pays a stock dividend or otherwise makes a distribution or distributions payable in shares of Common Stock on shares of Common Stock, (ii) subdivides outstanding shares of Common Stock into a larger number of shares, (iii) combines (including by way of a reverse stock split) outstanding shares of Common Stock into a smaller number of shares, or (iv) issues, in the event of a reclassification of shares of the Common Stock, any shares of capital stock of the Corporation, then the Conversion ratio set forth in Section 4 above (as previously adjusted under this Section 6, if applicable) shall be adjusted proportionately. Any adjustment made pursuant to this Section 6 shall become effective immediately after the record date for the determination of shareholders entitled to receive such dividend or distribution and shall become effective immediately after the effective date in the case of a subdivision, combination or re-classification.

 

7. Redeemed or Otherwise Acquired Series H. Any shares of Series H that are redeemed, converted or otherwise acquired by the Corporation or any of its subsidiaries shall be automatically and immediately cancelled and retired and shall not be reissued, sold or transferred. Neither the Corporation nor any of its subsidiaries may exercise any voting or other rights granted to the Holders of Series H following redemption, conversion or acquisition.

 

8. Non-circumvention. The Corporation hereby covenants and agrees that the Corporation will not, by amendment of its Articles of Incorporation including by the filing of any Certificate of Designation (however such document is named), bylaws or through any reorganization, transfer of assets, consolidation, merger, scheme of arrangement, dissolution, issue or sale of securities, or any other voluntary action, avoid or seek to avoid the observance or performance of any of the terms of this Certificate of Designation, and will at all times in good faith carry out all the provisions of this Certificate of Designation and take all commercially reasonable action as may be required to protect the rights of the Holders.

 

9. Waiver. Except for the conversion limitations set forth in Section 5 of this Certificate of Designation and as otherwise set forth in this Section 9 of this Certificate of Designation, any of the rights, powers, preferences, privileges, restrictions, qualifications, limitations and other terms of the Series H set forth herein may be waived on behalf of all Holders of Series H by the written consent or affirmative vote of at least two-thirds of the outstanding Series H. 

 

10. Specific Shall Not Limit General. No specific provision contained in this Certificate of Designation shall limit or modify any more general provision contained herein.

 

 

 

 

IN WITNESS WHEREOF, the Corporation has caused this Certificate of Designation to be duly executed by its Chief Executive Officer as of this 16th day September 2022.
