(d) Any amounts payable to Lender under this Paragraph 3 shall accrue interest at the Interest Rate, calculated from the date of payment or disbursement by Lender, until repaid in full.

 

4. Default and Acceleration.

 

(a) Upon the occurrence and during the continuance of any Event of Default, and at any time and from time to time thereafter, in addition to any other rights or remedies available to Lender under this Note, at law, or in equity:

 

(i) Borrower shall pay interest on the outstanding principal and interest at an interest rate equal to the Default Rate.

 

(ii) Lender may, at its option, take such action, without notice or demand, that Lender deems advisable to protect and enforce its rights against Borrower and/or in and to any collateral that secures this Note; including, without limitation, declaring Borrower’s obligations under this Note to be immediately due and payable (including any accrued and unpaid interest and any other amounts owing by Borrower under this Note).

 

(b) Upon the occurrence of any Insolvency Event (as defined in Paragraph 4(f)(vii)), all of Borrower’s obligations under this Note (including any accrued and unpaid interest and any other amounts owing by Borrower under this Note) shall immediately and automatically become due and payable, without notice or demand, and Borrower hereby expressly waives any such notice or demand, notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein.

 

(c) If any payment owing from Borrower to Lender under this Note is not received by Lender within five (5) days following its due date, Borrower shall pay to Lender an additional sum equal to four percent (4%) of the overdue amount as a late charge (the “Late Charge”). The Late Charge shall be paid to Lender within five (5) days after the date incurred, and any failure to pay the Late Charge within thirty (30) days after the date incurred shall be an Event of Default hereunder.

 

(d) Borrower recognizes that any failure by Borrower to timely make the payments provided for herein, or any other Event of Default hereunder, will cause Lender to incur costs not contemplated by this Note (including, without limitation, processing and accounting charges, loss of use of funds, and frustration to Lender in meeting its other financial commitments), and that the damages caused thereby would be extremely difficult and impractical to ascertain. Borrower hereby agrees that, if any such event should occur, the Default Rate (if applicable) and the Late Charge (if applicable), represent a fair and reasonable estimate of the damages and costs to Lender, considering all the circumstances existing on the date of this Note. The parties further agree that proof of actual damages would be costly or inconvenient. Acceptance of the Late Charge (if applicable) will not be deemed a waiver of any Default or Event of Default (unless such Default or Event of Default is cured in accordance with the provisions of this Note), and shall not prevent Lender from exercising any other rights and remedies available to Lender.

 

7

 

 

(e) No failure or delay on the part of Lender in exercising any right or remedy under this Note or under any other agreement executed in connection with or securing this Note shall operate as a waiver of any such right or remedy. No right, power, or remedy given to Lender by the terms of this Note or by the terms of any other agreement executed in connection with or securing this Note is intended to be exclusive of any other right, power, or remedy, and each and every such right, power, or remedy shall be cumulative and in addition to every other right, power, or remedy given to Lender by the terms of any instrument or by any statute or otherwise against Borrower or any other Person. No single or partial exercise by Lender of any power hereunder, or under any other document executed in connection with or securing this Note, shall preclude other or further exercise thereof or the exercising of any other power.

Any party may change its notice address (or any portion thereof) by giving written notice thereof in accordance with this paragraph. All notices hereunder shall be deemed given: (i) if delivered personally, when delivered; (ii) if sent by certified mail, return receipt requested, postage prepaid, on the third day after deposit in the U.S. mail; (iii) if sent by overnight courier, on the first Business Day after delivery to the courier; and (iv) if sent by electronic mail, on the date of transmission if sent on a Business Day before 5:00 p.m. Eastern time, or on the next Business Day, if sent on a day other than a Business Day or if sent after 5:00 p.m. Eastern time; provided that a hard copy of any notice sent by electronic mail must also be sent by either a nationally recognized overnight courier or by U.S. mail, first class, postage prepaid.

 

13. Time of the Essence. Time is of the essence with respect to Borrower’s obligations under this Note.

 

14. Severability. In the event any term or provision of this Note is held to be invalid, illegal, or unenforceable in any respect, such invalidity, illegality, or unenforceability shall not affect any other term or provision of this Note, which terms and provision shall remain binding and enforceable.

 

15. Optional Conversion. At any time following the date hereof, and from time to time prior to the Note Maturity Date, Lender shall have the right, but not the obligation, to elect to convert all or any portion of the principal amount of this Note into shares of HOFREC Common Stock on the terms and conditions in this Paragraph 15 (any such conversion, an “Optional Conversion”).

 

(a) Lender may elect to convert all or any portion of the principal amount of this Note into that number of shares of HOFREC Common Stock equal to the quotient of (A) the sum of (x) the principal amount of this Note being converted specified in the Conversion Notice (defined below), plus (y) all accrued and unpaid interest on such principal amount of this Note as of the applicable Conversion Election Effective Date (defined below), divided by (B) the Conversion Price (defined below) as of the applicable Conversion Election Effective Date, with fractional shares of HOFREC Common Stock rounded up or down as provided in Paragraph 15(g) hereof. “Conversion Price” means $1.50, as appropriately adjusted for stock splits, stock dividends, combinations, and subdivisions of HOFREC Common Stock.

 

(b) In order to effectuate an Optional Conversion of all or any portion of the principal amount of this Note, Lender shall submit a written notice to Borrower, duly executed by Lender (a “Conversion Notice”), accompanied by this Note, stating that Lender irrevocably elects to convert the principal amount of this Note specified in such Conversion Notice. In the event that only a portion of this Note is being converted, Borrower shall issue a replacement Note representing the remaining principal amount of this Note that has not been converted. An election to convert all or any portion of the principal amount of this Note pursuant to an Optional Conversion shall be deemed to have been made as of the following dates (the “Conversion Election Effective Date”): (A) on the date of receipt, with respect to any Conversion Notice received by Borrower at or prior to 5:00 p.m., New York City time, on any Business Day, and (B) on the next Business Day following such receipt, with respect to any Conversion Notice received by Borrower on a non-Business Day or after 5:00 p.m., New York City time, on any Business Day. The conversion of the principal amount of this Note with respect to which an Optional Conversion election is made, and the issuance of all shares of HOFREC Common Stock to be issued pursuant to such conversion, shall become effective as of the applicable Conversion Election Effective Date. Within three (3) Business Days after the applicable Conversion Election Effective Date, Borrower shall deliver to Lender (or, if applicable, in the name of Lender’s designee as stated in the Conversion Notice), by book-entry delivery, a number of shares of HOFREC Common Stock equal to the number of shares to which such holder is entitled pursuant to such Optional Conversion.

 

13

 

 

(c) Upon any conversion of this Note, the rights of Lender with respect to the unpaid principal amount hereunder converted into shares of HOFREC Common Stock shall cease and Lender shall be deemed to have become the owner of the shares of HOFREC Common Stock into which such principal amount of this Note shall have been converted and such converted principal amount shall be extinguished and deemed to have been forgiven or repaid and shall no longer be outstanding and no future interest shall accrue on any such amount.

 

(d) All shares of HOFREC Common Stock delivered upon any Optional Conversion will, upon such conversion, be duly and validly authorized and issued, fully paid and nonassessable, free from all preemptive rights, free from all taxes, liens, security interests, charges and encumbrances (other than liens, security interests, charges or encumbrances created by or imposed upon the holder or taxes in respect of any transfer occurring contemporaneously therewith).

 

(e) The issuance of shares of HOFREC Common Stock upon conversion of all or any portion of the principal amount of this Note pursuant to any Optional Conversion shall be made without payment of additional consideration by, or other charge, cost or tax to, Lender in respect thereof; provided, however, that Borrower shall not be required to pay any tax or other governmental charge that may be payable with respect to the issuance or delivery of any shares of HOFREC Common Stock in the name of any person other than Lender, and no such delivery shall be made unless and until the person requesting such issuance has paid to Borrower the amount of any such tax or charge, or has established to the satisfaction of Borrower that such tax or charge has been paid or that no such tax or charge is due.

 

(f) Borrower shall at all times reserve and keep available out of its authorized but unissued shares of HOFREC Common Stock, solely for the purpose of issuance upon conversion of the principal amount of this Note in accordance with this Paragraph 15, such number of shares of HOFREC Common Stock issuable upon the conversion of all outstanding principal amount of this Note pursuant to any Optional Conversion at the Conversion Price. Borrower shall take all such actions as may be necessary to assure that all such shares of HOFREC Common Stock may be so issued without violation of any applicable law or governmental regulation applicable to Borrower or any requirements of any securities exchange upon which shares of HOFREC Common Stock may be listed (except for official notice of issuance, which shall be immediately delivered by Borrower upon each such issuance). Borrower shall not take any action which would cause the number of authorized but unissued shares of HOFREC Common Stock to be less than the number of such shares required to be reserved hereunder for issuance upon conversion of the principal amount of this Note.

 

14

 

 

(g) No fractional shares of HOFREC Common Stock shall be issued upon any Optional Conversion of all or any portion of the principal amount of this Note. In lieu of delivering a fractional share of HOFREC Common Stock to any holder in connection with an Optional Conversion, any fractional share of HOFREC Common Stock shall be rounded up or down to the next whole number or zero, as applicable (with one-half being closer to the next lower whole number for this purpose).

 

(h) The Conversion Price shall be subject to a weighted average anti-dilution adjustment from time to time as follows:

 

(i) If Borrower shall at any time or from time to time during the period from the date of this Note to the Note Maturity Date, issue any additional shares of HOFREC Common Stock (or be deemed to have issued any shares of HOFREC Common Stock as provided herein), other than Excluded Securities (as defined in Paragraph 15(h)(iii)) and Excluded Transactions (as defined in Paragraph 15(h)(iv)) (such additional shares, “Additional Shares”), without consideration or for a consideration per share less than the Conversion Price in effect immediately prior to the issuance of HOFREC Common Stock, the Conversion Price in effect immediately prior to such issuance shall forthwith be lowered to a price (calculated to the nearest one-hundredth of a cent) determined in accordance with the following formula:

 

CP2 = CP1 * (A + B) ÷ (A + C)

 

For purposes of the foregoing formula, the following definitions shall apply:

 

·“CP2” shall mean the Conversion Price in effect immediately after such issue of Additional Shares of HOFREC Common Stock;

 

·“CP1” shall mean the Conversion Price in effect immediately prior to such issue of Additional Shares of HOFREC Common Stock;

 

15

 

 

·“A” shall mean the number of shares of HOFREC Common Stock outstanding immediately prior to such issue of Additional Shares of HOFREC Common Stock (including any shares of HOFREC Common Stock deemed to have been issued pursuant to Paragraph 15(h)(ii)(D));

 

·“B” shall mean the number of shares of HOFREC Common Stock that would have been issued if such Additional Shares of HOFREC Common Stock had been issued at the price per share equal to CP1 (determined by dividing the aggregate consideration received by Borrower in respect of such issue by CP1); and

 

·“C” shall mean the number of such Additional Shares of HOFREC Common Stock issued in such transaction.

 

(ii) For the purposes of any adjustment of the Conversion Price pursuant to Paragraph 15(h)(i), the following provisions shall be applicable:

 

(A) In the case of the issuance of HOFREC Common Stock for cash, the consideration shall be deemed to be the amount of cash paid therefor before deducting therefrom any discounts, commissions or other expenses allowed, paid or incurred by Borrower for any underwriting or otherwise in connection with the issuance and sale thereof.

 

(B) In the case of the issuance of HOFREC Common Stock for a consideration in whole or in part other than cash, the consideration other than cash shall be deemed to be the fair market value thereof as determined in good faith by the Board of Directors of Borrower, irrespective of any accounting treatment.

 

(C) In the case of the issuance of HOFREC Common Stock without consideration, the consideration shall be deemed to be $0.01 per share.

 

(D) In the case of the issuance of (x) options or warrants to purchase or rights to subscribe for HOFREC Common Stock, (y) debt or securities by their terms convertible into or exchangeable for HOFREC Common Stock or (z) options to purchase rights to subscribe for such convertible or exchangeable securities:

 

(1) the aggregate maximum number of shares of HOFREC Common Stock deliverable upon exercise of such options or warrants to purchase or rights to subscribe for HOFREC Common Stock shall be deemed to have been issued at the time such options or rights were issued and for a consideration equal to the consideration (determined in the manner provided in subdivisions (A), (B) and (C) above), if any, received by Borrower upon the issuance of such options, warrants or rights plus the minimum purchase price provided in such options, warrants or rights for the HOFREC Common Stock covered thereby; and

 

16

 

 

(2) the aggregate maximum number of shares of HOFREC Common Stock deliverable upon conversion of or in exchange for any such convertible or exchangeable debt or securities or upon the exercise of options or warrants to purchase or rights to subscribe for such convertible or exchangeable securities and subsequent conversion or exchange thereof shall be deemed to have been issued at the time such securities were issued or such options or warrants or rights were issued and for a consideration equal to the consideration received by Borrower for any such securities and related options or warrants or rights (excluding any cash received on account of accrued interest or accrued dividends), plus the additional consideration, if any, to be received by Borrower upon the conversion or exchange of such securities or the exercise of any related options or warrants or rights (the consideration in each case to be determined in the manner provided in subdivisions (A), (B) and (C) above).

 

(iii) For purposes of this Paragraph 15(h), the term “Excluded Securities” shall mean (i) shares of HOFREC Common Stock issued to officers, employees, directors or consultants of Borrower and its subsidiaries, pursuant to any agreement, plan or arrangement approved by the Board of Directors of Borrower, or options or warrants to purchase or rights to subscribe for such HOFREC Common Stock, or debt or securities by their terms convertible into or exchangeable for such HOFREC Common Stock, or options or warrants to purchase or rights to subscribe for such convertible or exchangeable securities pursuant to such agreement, plan or arrangement; (ii) shares of HOFREC Common Stock issued as a stock dividend or upon any stock split or other subdivision or combination of shares of HOFREC Common Stock; or (iii) securities issued pursuant to the acquisition of another corporation or other entity by Borrower by merger or purchase of stock or purchase of all or substantially all of such other corporation’s or other entity’s assets whereby Borrower owns not less than a majority of the voting power of such other corporation or other entity following such acquisition or purchase.

 

(iv) For purposes of this Paragraph 15(h), the term “Excluded Transactions” shall mean sales of shares of Common Stock issued under the Company’s “at the market offering” as defined in Rule 415(a)(4) promulgated under the Securities Act; provided, however, that each financial quarter during which the Company’s sales of such shares reaches a multiple of $5 million aggregate consideration beginning with sales occurring after March 1, 2022 for an average consideration per share for such multiple of $5 million aggregate consideration that is less than the Exercise Price then in effect at the end of such financial quarter, the Exercise Price in effect at the end of such financial quarter shall forthwith be lowered to a price (calculated to the nearest one-hundredth of a cent) determined in accordance with the formula set forth in Paragraph 15(h)(i), with the following adjustments: (A) “A” shall mean the difference of (1) the number of shares of Common Stock outstanding immediately following the sale of a share under the Company’s “at the market offering” that reaches a multiple of $5 million (including any shares of Common Stock deemed to have been issued pursuant to Section 15(h)(ii)(D)), minus (2) the number of shares of Common Stock issued under the Company’s “at the market offering” for such multiple of $5 million and (B) “C” shall mean the number of such shares of Common Stock issued under the Company’s “at the market offering” for such multiple of $5 million.

If the number of shares of HOFREC Common Stock issued to Lender and its affiliates under this Note and the other Transaction Documents reaches the Nasdaq 19.99% Cap, so as not to violate the 20% limit established in Listing Rule 5635(d), Borrower, at its election, will use reasonable commercial efforts to obtain stockholder approval of this Note and the issuance of additional shares of HOFREC Common Stock upon the conversion of the portion of the Loan under this Note, if necessary, in accordance with the requirements of Nasdaq Listing Rule 5635(d) (the “Approval”). “Transaction Documents” shall mean (A) this Note, (B) the Certificate of Designations of 7.00% Series C Convertible Preferred Stock, par value $0.0001 per share, of Borrower, (C) the amended and restated Series C Warrant, dated March 1, 2022, issued Borrower to CH Capital Lending, LLC, (D) the amended and Series D Warrant to purchase HOFREC Common Stock, dated March 1, 2022, issued by Borrower to CH Capital Lending, LLC, (E) the Series E Warrant to purchase HOFREC Common Stock, dated March 1, 2022, issued by Borrower to CH Capital Lending, LLC, (F) the Series E Warrant to purchase HOFREC Common Stocks, dated March 1, 2022, issued by Borrower to IRG, LLC, (G) the two Series F Warrants to purchase HOFREC Common Stock, dated March 1, 2022, issued by Borrower to JKP Financial, LLC, (H) the Series G Warrant to purchase HOFREC Common Stock to be issued by the Borrower to Stuart Lichter, (I) the Letter Agreement, dated March 1, 2022, between Borrower and Stuart Lichter, (J) the $4,273,543.46 First Amended and Restated Promissory Note, dated March 1, 2022, issued by Borrower to JKP Financial, LLC, and (K) the Joinder and Second Amendment to Secured Cognovit Promissory Note, dated as of March 1, 2022, by and between HOF Village Newco, LLC, HOF Village Hotel II, LLC, as makers, Borrower, and JKP Financial, LLC, as holder.
