The Notes mature on the first anniversary of their respective issuance dates and bear interest at a rate of 8.00% per annum, payable on maturity. The Notes are automatically convertible into shares of the Company’s common stock, par value $0.0001 per share (“Common Stock”), upon a Qualified Equity Financing or a Change of Control (as those terms are defined in the Notes).

 

The Notes, and Common Stock issuable upon conversion thereof, were not registered under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”), or the securities laws of any state, and were offered and sold in reliance on the exemption from registration under the Securities Act, as provided by Section 4(a)(2) thereof and Regulation D (Rule 506) thereunder.

 

As a result of the closing (the “Closing”) of the Notes on May 6, 2020, the Company has to date sold Notes with an aggregate principal amount of $1,352,500 before deducting placement agent and other offering expenses.

 

The foregoing descriptions of the Purchase Agreements and the Notes are not complete and are qualified in their entirety by reference to the full text of the form of Purchase Agreement and form of Note, copies of which are filed as Exhibit 10.1 and 10.2, respectively, to this Current Report on Form 8-K and are hereby incorporated by reference.

No waiver of any default with respect to any provision, condition or requirement of this Agreement shall be deemed to be a continuing waiver in the future or a waiver of any subsequent default or a waiver of any other provision, condition or requirement hereof, nor shall any delay or omission of any party to exercise any right hereunder in any manner impair the exercise of any such right.

 

5.5 Headings. The headings herein are for convenience only, do not constitute a part of this Agreement and shall not be deemed to limit or affect any of the provisions hereof.

 

5.6 Successors and Assigns. This Agreement shall be binding upon and inure to the benefit of the parties and their successors and permitted assigns. The Company may not assign this Agreement or any rights or obligations hereunder without the prior written consent of the Purchaser (other than by merger).

5.8 Governing Law; Venue.

-6-

 

 

5.10 Execution. This Agreement may be executed in two or more counterparts, all of which when taken together shall be considered one and the same agreement and shall become effective when counterparts have been signed by each party and delivered to the other party, it being understood that both parties need not sign the same counterpart. In the event that any signature is delivered by facsimile transmission or by e-mail delivery of a “.pdf” format data file, such signature shall create a valid and binding obligation of the party executing (or on whose behalf such signature is executed) with the same force and effect as if such facsimile or “.pdf” signature page were an original thereof.

 

5.11 Severability. If any term, provision, covenant or restriction of this Agreement is held by a court of competent jurisdiction to be invalid, illegal, void or unenforceable, the remainder of the terms, provisions, covenants and restrictions set forth herein shall remain in full force and effect and shall in no way be affected, impaired or invalidated, and the parties hereto shall use their commercially reasonable efforts to find and employ an alternative means to achieve the same or substantially the same result as that contemplated by such term, provision, covenant or restriction. It is hereby stipulated and declared to be the intention of the parties that they would have executed the remaining terms, provisions, covenants and restrictions without including any of such that may be hereafter declared invalid, illegal, void or unenforceable.

 

5.12 Replacement of Note. If the Note purchase hereby is mutilated, lost, stolen or destroyed, the Company shall issue or cause to be issued in exchange and substitution for and upon cancellation thereof (in the case of mutilation), or in lieu of and substitution therefor, a new Note, but only upon receipt of evidence reasonably satisfactory to the Company of such loss, theft or destruction. The applicant for a Note under such circumstances shall also pay any reasonable third-party costs (including customary indemnity) associated with the issuance of such replacement Note.

 

5.13 Independent Nature of Purchasers’ Obligations and Rights. The obligations of the Purchaser under any Transaction Document are several and not joint with the obligations of any other Purchaser, and no Purchaser shall be responsible in any way for the performance or non-performance of the obligations of any other Purchaser under any Transaction Document. Nothing contained herein or in any other Transaction Document, and no action taken by any Purchaser pursuant thereto, shall be deemed to constitute the Purchasers as a partnership, an association, a joint venture or any other kind of entity, or create a presumption that the Purchasers are in any way acting in concert or as a group with respect to such obligations or the transactions contemplated by the Transaction Documents. The Purchaser shall be entitled to independently protect and enforce its rights, including, without limitation, the rights arising out of this Agreement or out of the other Transaction Documents, and it shall not be necessary for any other Purchaser to be joined as an additional party in any proceeding for such purpose. The Purchaser has been represented by its own separate legal counsel in their review and negotiation of the Transaction Documents. The Company has elected to provide all Purchasers with the same terms and Transaction Documents for the convenience of the Company and not because it was required or requested to do so by the Purchasers.

 

5.14 Saturdays, Sundays, Holidays, etc. If the last or appointed day for the taking of any action or the expiration of any right required or granted herein shall not be a Business Day, then such action may be taken or such right may be exercised on the next succeeding Business Day.

 

5.15 Construction. The parties agree that each of them and/or their respective counsel has reviewed and had an opportunity to revise the Transaction Documents and, therefore, the normal rule of construction to the effect that any ambiguities are to be resolved against the drafting party shall not be employed in the interpretation of the Transaction Documents or any amendments hereto.

 

5.16 WAIVER OF JURY TRIAL. IN ANY ACTION, SUIT, OR PROCEEDING IN ANY JURISDICTION BROUGHT BY ANY PARTY AGAINST ANY OTHER PARTY, THE PARTIES EACH KNOWINGLY AND INTENTIONALLY, TO THE GREATEST EXTENT PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE LAW, HEREBY ABSOLUTELY, UNCONDITIONALLY, IRREVOCABLY AND EXPRESSLY WAIVES FOREVER TRIAL BY JURY.

 

5.17 Brokers or Finders. Laidlaw & Company (UK) Ltd., a U.S.-registered broker-dealer (“Laidlaw”), will be paid by the Company a referral fee of ten percent (10%) of the aggregate gross Purchase Price of the Notes introduced by them. The Company will also pay certain expenses of Laidlaw in connection with the Notes, not to exceed two percent (2%), of the aggregate gross Purchase Price paid to the Company by the Purchasers. Laidlaw, and certain of its officers and affiliated persons, are also shareholders of Amesite and therefore may have potential conflicts of interest with each Purchaser.

6.Automatic Conversion.

 

(a)Automatic Conversion Upon a Qualified Equity Financing. Subject to the terms and conditions of this Section 6, upon the closing of a Qualified Equity Financing (the date of such closing, the “Closing Date”), an amount equal to the Note Obligations outstanding on the Closing Date shall automatically convert simultaneously with the closing of the Qualified Equity Financing into a number of Conversion Securities equal to the quotient obtained by dividing (a) an amount equal to the Note Obligations outstanding on the Closing Date by (b) the Conversion Price (an “Equity Financing Conversion”), and the Lender shall be entitled to the benefit of such other terms and conditions that may be granted to any investor in such Qualified Equity Financing.

 

(b)Automatic Conversion Upon a Change of Control. In the event that prior to a Qualified Equity Financing and prior to the Maturity Date, there is a Change of Control, an amount equal to the Note Obligations outstanding on the Closing Date shall automatically convert simultaneously with the Change in Control into a number of Conversion Securities equal to the quotient obtained by dividing (a) an amount equal to the Note Obligations outstanding on the date that the Change in Control occurs by (b) the Conversion Price (a “Change in Control Conversion”; and together with an Equity Financing Conversion, a “Conversion”). The Company shall provide each Note holder with at least five (5) days prior written notice of the anticipated closing of a Change of Control.

 

(c)Surrender of Note. Promptly after any Conversion, but in no event more than five (5) Business Days thereafter, Lender shall deliver the original of this Note (or a notice to the effect that the original Note has been lost, stolen or destroyed and an agreement acceptable to Borrower whereby the holder agrees to indemnify Borrower from any loss incurred by it in connection with this Note); provided, however, that upon Borrower’s issuance of all amounts and/or Conversion Securities required under Section 6(a), Section 6(b), and Section 6(e), as applicable, this Note shall be deemed converted and of no further force and effect, whether or not it is delivered for cancellation as set forth in this Section 6(c).

 

(d)Reservation of Equity Securities. Borrower covenants that all Conversion Securities that shall be so issued shall be duly authorized, validly issued, fully paid, and non-assessable by Borrower, not subject to any preemptive rights, and free from any taxes, liens, and charges with respect to the issue thereof. Borrower shall take all such action as may be necessary to ensure that all such Conversion Securities may be so issued without violation of any applicable law or regulation.

 

(e)Fractional Securities. No fractional Conversion Securities shall be issued upon conversion of this Note. In lieu of Borrower issuing any fractional Conversion Securities to Lender upon the conversion of this Note, Borrower shall pay to Lender an amount equal to the product obtained by multiplying the Conversion Price or Merger Conversion Price, as applicable, by the fraction of a Conversion Security not issued pursuant to the previous sentence (the “Fractional Payment Amount”).

7.Representations and Warranties of Lender. Lender represents and warrants to Borrower upon the acquisition of the Note as follows:

 

(a)Binding Obligation. This Note has been duly executed and delivered by Lender and is a valid and binding obligation of Lender, enforceable against Lender in accordance with its terms, except as limited by bankruptcy, insolvency or other laws of general application relating to or affecting the enforcement of creditors’ rights generally and general principles of equity.

 

(b)Experience. Lender is an “accredited investor” as that term is defined in Rule 501 under the Securities Act. Lender has substantial experience in evaluating and investing in private placement transactions of securities in companies similar to Borrower so that Lender is capable of evaluating the merits and risks of its investment in Borrower and has the capacity to protect Lender’s own interests.

 

(c)Investment. Lender is acquiring the Note and, as applicable, the Conversion Securities issuable upon conversion of the Note (collectively, the “Securities”), not as a nominee or agent, and not with the view to, or for resale in connection with, any distribution thereof. Lender understands that the Note has not been, and that neither the Note nor the Conversion Securities will be, registered under the Securities Act by reason of a specific exemption from the registration provisions of the Securities Act, the availability of which depends upon, among other things, the bona fide nature of the investment intent and the accuracy of such Lender’s representations as expressed herein and in response to Borrower’s inquiries, if any.

 

(d)Rule 144. Lender acknowledges that the Securities must be held indefinitely unless subsequently registered under the Securities Act or unless an exemption from such registration is available. Lender is aware of the provisions of Rule 144 promulgated under the Securities Act, which permit limited resale of securities purchased in a private placement subject to the satisfaction of certain conditions, including, among other things, the existence of a public market for the securities, the availability of certain current public information about Borrower, the resale occurring not less than one year after a party has purchased and paid for the security to be sold, the sales being effected through a “broker’s transaction” or in transactions directly with a “market maker” and the number of securities being sold during any three-month period not exceeding specified limitations.

 

(e)No Public Market. Lender understands that no public market now exists for any of the securities issued by Borrower and that Borrower has made no assurances that a public market will ever exist for Borrower’s securities.

 

(f)Access to Data. Lender acknowledges that Lender has received all the information Lender considers necessary or appropriate for deciding whether to acquire the Securities. Lender further represents that Lender has had an opportunity to ask questions and receive answers from the Company regarding the terms and conditions of the offering of the Securities.

(g)Brokers or Finders. Laidlaw & Company (UK) Ltd., a U.S.-registered broker-dealer (“Laidlaw”), will be paid by the Company a referral fee of ten percent (10%) of the aggregate gross Principal Amount of the Notes introduced by them. The Company will also pay certain expenses of Laidlaw in connection with the Notes, not to exceed two percent (2%), of the gross Principal Amount paid to the Company by Lenders. Laidlaw, and certain of its officers and affiliated persons, are also shareholders of Amesite and therefore may have potential conflicts of interest with Lenders.

 

(h)Tax Advisors. Lender acknowledges that it has had the opportunity to review with Lender’s own tax advisors the federal, state, local and foreign tax consequences of this investment and the transactions contemplated by this Note.

 

8.Representations and Warranties of Borrower. Borrower represents and warrants to Lender that Borrower has full legal capacity, power and authority to execute and deliver this Note and to perform its obligations hereunder. This Note has been duly executed and delivered by Borrower and is a valid and binding obligation of Borrower, enforceable against it in accordance with its terms, except as limited by bankruptcy, insolvency or other laws of general application relating to or affecting the enforcement of creditors’ rights generally and general principles of equity. The execution and delivery by Borrower of this Note and the performance of its obligations hereunder will not violate, conflict with, result in a breach of, or constitute a default under the organizational documents of Borrower or any of its subsidiaries.

 

9.Assignment. Neither this Note nor any of the rights, interests or obligations hereunder may be assigned by either Party, whether by operation of law or otherwise, without the other Party’s prior written consent, and any purported attempt by a Party to assign this Note or any of the rights, interests or obligations hereunder in violation of this Section 9 shall be null and void.

 

10.No Collateral. This Note is unsecured.

 

11.Miscellaneous.

 

(a)Notices. Any notice, request, instruction, or other communication to be given to any other Party shall be in writing. Any notice, request, instruction, or other document hereunder shall be deemed duly given if addressed to the intended recipient at the address provided from time to time.

 

(b)Survival. The representations, warranties, covenants and agreements made herein shall survive the execution and delivery of this Note.

 

(c)Severability. If any provision of this Note shall be judicially determined to be invalid, illegal or unenforceable, the validity, legality and enforceability of the remaining provisions shall not in any way be affected or impaired thereby.

 

(d)Usury. In the event any interest is paid on this Note which is deemed to be in excess of the then Maximum Rate, then that portion of the interest payment representing an amount in excess of the then Maximum Rate shall be deemed a payment of principal and, notwithstanding Section 3, be applied against the principal of this Note.

 

-7-

 

 

(e)Waivers. Borrower hereby waives notice of default, presentment or demand for payment, protest or notice of nonpayment or dishonor and all other notices or demands relative to this instrument.

THE PARTIES HERETO HEREBY EXPRESSLY WAIVE ANY RIGHT TO A TRIAL BY JURY IN ANY SUCH SUIT, ACTION, OR PROCEEDING.
