Item 4.Purpose of Transaction.

 

Item 4 is hereby amended and restated in its entirety as follows:

 

The November 2019 Offering

 

In the November 2019 Offering, FWHC acquired 146,997.57 shares of Series D Preferred Stock for a purchase price of $40.817 per share, along with a 10-year warrant to purchase up to 14,669,757 shares of Common Stock at an exercise price of $0.75 per share. FWHC did not pay additional consideration for the warrant. FWHC used available working capital for this purchase.

 

The April 2020 Offering

 

On April 17, 2020, in connection with a private placement of securities by the Issuer to 32 investors (the “April 2020 Offering”), Bridge and Bridge Friends entered into a Secured Convertible Note and Warrant Purchase Agreement with the Issuer (the “Note Purchase Agreement”), pursuant to which (i) Bridge purchased two secured convertible promissory notes in the original principal amount of $1,000,000 (“Bridge Note #1”) and $1,535,570 (“Bridge Note #2”), respectively, from the Issuer and (ii) Bridge Friends purchased a secured convertible promissory note in the original principal amount of $100,000 (“Bridge Friends Note”) from the Issuer. Each of Bridge Note #1, Bridge Note #2 and the Bridge Friends Note are convertible into shares of the Issuer’s stock upon the terms and conditions set forth therein. If the amounts due under the notes are not repaid before the closing of the Qualified Financing (as defined below), the outstanding principal balance and accrued and unpaid interest on the notes is automatically converted into shares of the series of preferred stock issued in the Qualified Financing, in which case the conversion price will be equal to the lesser of (i) the price per share paid by an investor in the Qualified Financing for the preferred stock and (ii) the price per share obtained by dividing (x) $3,000,000 by (y) the number of fully diluted shares of the Issuer outstanding immediately prior to the Qualified Financing.

 

Page 9 of 13

CUSIP No. 404124109

 

“Qualified Financing” is defined as an offering of preferred stock of at least $3.6 million, exclusive of the conversion of the notes or the Backstop Commitment (as defined below), which is contemplated to be effected in the form of a rights offering to holders of the then-outstanding Common Stock. If a Qualified Financing closing does not take place on or prior to October 31, 2020, the notes become convertible at the option of the holders into the number of shares of Series D Preferred Stock as is equal to the quotient obtained by dividing the outstanding principal balance and unpaid interest on each note being converted as of the date of conversion by the product of (x) 50 and (y) the quotient obtained by dividing $3,000,000 by the number of fully diluted shares of the Issuer outstanding immediately prior to the conversion.

 

In connection with its receipt of Bridge Note #1 and Bridge Note #2 in the April 2020 Offering, Bridge received (A) a warrant to purchase up to 200% of the aggregate number of shares of Common Stock of Issuer into which Bridge Note #1 may ultimately be converted (“Bridge Warrant #1”) and (B) a warrant to purchase up to 100% of the aggregate number of shares of Common Stock of Issuer into which Bridge Note #2 may ultimately be converted (“Bridge Warrant #2”). In connection with its receipt of the Bridge Friends Note, Bridge Friends received a warrant to purchase up to 100% of the aggregate number of shares of Common Stock of Issuer into which the Bridge Friends Note may ultimately be converted (“Bridge Friends Warrant”). All such warrants have exercise prices equal to the purchase price in the Qualified Financing. Neither Bridge nor Bridge Friends paid additional consideration for such warrants.

 

Bridge and Bridge Friends used available working capital for the purchase of their respective notes in the April 2020 Offering.

 

As part of the April 2020 Offering, the Issuer and FWHC entered into an amendment to the warrant previously received by FWHC to purchase an aggregate of 14,699,757 shares of the Common Stock to lower the exercise price on such warrant from $0.75 per share to the purchase price in the Qualified Financing. The number of shares of Common Stock that may be acquired by FWHC under such warrant remain unchanged.

 

The Note Purchase Agreement provides a commitment on the part of each note purchaser, including Bridge and Bridge Friends, to agree to invest at the Qualified Financing, on a pro rata basis based on the relative principal amount of their respective notes, an identical dollar amount as purchased by such note purchaser in the April 2020 Offering as a backstop commitment (the “Backstop Commitment”). The Qualified Financing is contemplated to be made in the form of a rights offering to holders of the then-outstanding shares of Common Stock. Accordingly, in the event that any of the Issuer’s stockholders do not participate in the Qualified Financing, their purchase would be filled in part by the note purchasers through the Backstop Commitment. In the event that any note purchaser fails to fulfill its Backstop Commitment obligation, then the warrants issued to such note purchaser in the April 2020 Offering will be canceled and their notes would convert into shares of Common Stock of the Issuer at the Qualified Financing instead of the preferred shares offered for sale in such Qualified Financing that all other notes would convert into. Further, as a condition to their purchase of notes at the April 2020 Offering, each note purchaser further agreed that their participation in the Qualified Financing would be limited solely to their Backstop Commitment and that they would not separately acquire shares of stock in the Issuer through subscriptions in the Qualified Financing or through any other means without the prior consent of Bridge.

 

Separate from its acquisition of notes and warrants pursuant to the April 2020 Financing, on March 27, 2020, Bridge purchased a 12% Senior Secured Convertible Note due September 30, 2020 (the “Hawes Note”) that was originally issued by the Issuer to George Hawes (“Hawes”) from Hawes for a purchase price of $424,615, pursuant to an Assignment Agreement dated as of such date among Bridge, the Issuer and Hawes (the “Assignment Agreement”). Simultaneously with its acquisition of the Hawes Note, the Issuer and Bridge subsequently entered into a First Amendment to 12% Senior Secured Convertible Note due September 30, 2020 (the “Hawes Note Amendment”), to among other things, eliminate the requirement for payment of interest under the Hawes Note prior to maturity and to ensure that the outstanding principal balance and accrued and unpaid interest on the Hawes Note would automatically be converted into shares of the series of preferred stock issued in the Qualified Financing at a conversion price equal to the lesser of (x) $0.36 per share and (y) 90% of the price per share paid by an investor in the Qualified Financing for the preferred stock.

CUSIP No. 404124109

 

The Reporting Persons expect that, immediately prior to the commencement of the Qualified Financing, the Company’s charter would be amended to increase the number of authorized capital stock, to create a new series of preferred stock, and to provide for conversion of each share of the Company’s outstanding Series B Preferred Stock, par value $0.001 per share, and Series D Preferred Stock, including the Series D Preferred Stock acquired by FWHC in the November 2019 Offering, into shares of Common Stock.

 

Upon closing of the Qualified Financing, the Reporting Persons would expect to beneficially own (as defined in Rule 13d-3 under the Exchange Act) in excess of 50% of the Common Stock.

 

The Reporting Persons intend to review their investment in the Issuer on a continuing basis. Depending on various factors, including but not limited to the Reporting Persons’ respective businesses, financial positions, strategic directions and prospects, price levels of the Common Stock, conditions of the securities markets, and general economic and industry conditions, the Reporting Persons may in the future take such actions with respect to their investment in the Issuer as they may deem appropriate, including but not limited to changing their current intentions, with respect to any or all matters required to be disclosed in this Statement. Without limiting the foregoing, the Reporting Persons may, from time to time, acquire or cause their respective affiliates to acquire additional shares of capital stock of the Issuer, dispose of some or all of their securities, continue to hold the securities (or any combination or derivative thereof), or engage in transactions that may make the Common Stock eligible for termination of registration pursuant to section 12(g)(4) of the Exchange Act.

 

Except as set forth herein, or as would occur upon completion of any of the matters discussed herein, the Reporting Persons have no present plans or proposals that would relate to or result in any of the matters set forth in clauses (a) through (j) of Item 4 of Schedule 13D of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934; provided that the Reporting Persons may, at any time, review or reconsider their position with respect to the Issuer and reserve the right to develop such plans or proposals.

 

Item 5.Interest in Securities of the Issuer.

 

Item 5(b) is hereby amended and restated in its entirety as follows:

 

(b)       The following table sets forth the number of Shares as to which each Reporting Person has (i) the sole power to vote or direct the voting, (ii) the sole power to dispose or to direct the disposition, or (iii) shared power to vote or direct the vote or dispose or direct disposition:

SECURED CONVERTIBLE NOTE AND WARRANT PURCHASE AGREEMENT

 

This Secured Convertible Note and Warrant Purchase Agreement (this “Agreement”) is entered into as of April 17, 2020 (the “Effective Date”), by and among H-Cyte, Inc., a Nevada corporation (the “Company”), FWHC Bridge, LLC, a Delaware limited liability company (the “Lead Purchaser”) and any other Purchaser delivering a counterpart signature page to this Agreement.

 

The parties agree as follows:

 

1.      Purchase and Sale of Convertible Notes and Warrants.

 

1.1.            Sale and Issuance of Convertible Notes and Warrants .

 

(a)               Prior to the Initial Closing (as defined below), the Lead Purchaser advanced funds to the Company in the amount of $1,000,000 (the “Advance”) and the Company executed and delivered to the Lead Purchaser an Amended and Restated Demand Note in the amount of the Advance (the “Advance Note”).

 

(b)               The initial purchase and sale of the Notes contemplated by this Section 1.1(a) (the “Initial Closing”) will take place remotely via the exchange of documents and signatures on the Effective Date. Subject to the terms and conditions of this Agreement, at the Initial Closing, the Lead Purchaser and the other Purchasers party hereto on the Effective Date (the “Initial Purchasers”) will each advance to the Company an amount equal to the “Bridge Funding Commitment” amount set forth opposite such Initial Purchaser’s name on Schedule I to this Agreement and the Company will sell and issue to each Initial Purchaser a secured convertible promissory note, in the form attached as Exhibit A to this Agreement in the original principal amount of such Initial Purchaser’s Bridge Funding Commitment. At the Initial Closing, the Company will also execute and deliver a separate secured convertible promissory note, also in the form attached as Exhibit A to this Agreement, to the Lead Purchaser in an amount equal to the Advance provided by the Lead Purchaser to the Company prior to the Initial Closing, together with any accrued and unpaid interest thereon (the “Converted Advance Note”), which such Converted Advance Note will serve as an amendment of and substitution for the Advance Note. The secured convertible promissory notes issued at the Initial Closing are referred to herein as the “Initial Notes”. At the Initial Closing, the Company will also execute and deliver to each holder of an Initial Note a ten-year warrant to purchase shares of the Company’s Common Stock, each in the form attached as Exhibit B to this Agreement (the “Initial Warrants”). For further clarity, the Lead Purchaser will receive two separate Warrants at the Initial Closing, (i) a Warrant with respect to the Lead Purchaser’s purchase of an Initial Note at the Initial Closing through the funding of its Bridge Funding Commitment and (ii) a Warrant with respect to the issuance of the Converted Advance Note to the Lead Purchaser (the “Converted Advance Warrant”).

 

(c)               Following the Initial Closing, the Company may, subject to the approval of the Lead Purchaser, offer, issue and sell, on the same price, terms and conditions as those contained in this Agreement, at one or more subsequent closings (each, an “Additional Closing”), (i) secured convertible promissory notes, each in the form attached as Exhibit A to this Agreement (the “Additional Notes” and together with the Initial Notes, the “Notes”) to the Lead Purchaser and/or one or more additional investors who is a holder of capital stock of the Company and executes a counterpart signature page to this Agreement (the “Additional Purchasers” and together with the Lead Purchaser, the “Purchasers”) and (ii) ten-year warrants to purchase shares of the Company’s Common Stock each in the form attached as Exhibit B to this Agreement (the “Additional Warrants” and together with the Initial Warrants, the “Warrants”). Upon any Additional Closing, Schedule I to this Agreement shall be updated to reflect any Additional Notes and Additional Warrants purchased at such Additional Closing.

 

 

(d)               Subject to the terms and conditions of this Agreement, at each Closing, the Company shall deliver to each applicable Purchaser in addition to their Note(s) and Warrant(s): (i) the Security Agreement substantially in the form attached hereto as Exhibit C, duly executed by the Company (the “Security Agreement”), (ii) the Absolute Guaranty of Payment and Performance in the form attached hereto as Exhibit D (the “Subsidiary Guaranty”), duly executed by each Subsidiary of the Company, (iii) the Intellectual Property Security Agreement in the form attached hereto as Exhibit E, duly executed by the Company (the “IP Security Agreement”) and (iv) Subordination Agreements, each substantially in the form attached hereto as Exhibit F, duly executed by each of the holders of outstanding indebtedness of the Company subordinating their indebtedness to the rights of the Purchasers under their Notes (the “Subordination Agreements”). For the avoidance of doubt, the Lead Purchaser shall not be required to deliver a Subordination Agreement with respect to the Hawes Note.

 

(e)               Each purchase of Securities by a Purchaser is a separate transaction from each other purchase of Securities by any other Purchaser. No Purchaser shall have any obligation to purchase any Securities or otherwise provide any additional funding to the Company other than as set forth on Schedule I and in any event on the terms and subject to the conditions in this Agreement. Any and all obligations of the Purchasers under the Transaction Documents are several and not joint and several; no Purchaser shall be liable for the failure of any other Purchaser to purchase any Securities in accordance with this Section 1.1, for any breach of representation or warranty by any other Purchaser, or for any other act or omission by any other Purchaser.

 

(f)                Each Warrant issued pursuant to this Agreement shall entitle the Purchaser holding such Warrant the right to purchase up to one hundred percent (100%) of the aggregate number of shares of Common Stock into which such Purchaser’s Note may ultimately be converted, provided, that as partial consideration for the Advance provided by the Lead Purchaser prior to the Effective Date, the Converted Advance Warrant shall entitle the holder thereof to purchase up to two hundred percent (200%) of the aggregate number of shares of Common Stock into which the Converted Advance Note may ultimately be converted. Any Warrant (other than the Converted Advance Warrant) issued to a Purchaser pursuant this Agreement is subject to immediate forfeiture and termination upon a Purchaser Subscription Default with respect to such Purchaser.

 

1.2.            Use of Proceeds. In accordance with the directions of the Board, the Company will use the proceeds from the sale of the Notes for funding the Company’s payroll and other general corporate purposes and shall not use such proceeds: (a) for the satisfaction of any portion of the Company’s debt, (b) for the redemption of any Common Stock or Common Stock Equivalents, (c) for the settlement of any outstanding litigation, or (d) in violation of FCPA or OFAC regulations.

In addition, effective upon the issuance of such press release, the Company acknowledges and agrees that any and all confidentiality or similar obligations under any agreement, whether written or oral, between the Company, any of its Subsidiaries or any of their respective officers, directors, agents, employees or Affiliates on the one hand, and any of the Purchasers or any of their Affiliates on the other hand, shall terminate. The Company and the Lead Purchaser shall consult with each other in issuing any other press releases with respect to the transactions contemplated hereby, and neither the Company nor any Purchaser shall issue any such press release nor otherwise make any such public statement without the prior consent of the Company, with respect to any press release of any Purchaser, or without the prior consent of the Lead Purchaser, with respect to any press release of the Company, which consent shall not unreasonably be withheld or delayed, except if such disclosure is required by law, in which case the disclosing party shall promptly provide the other party with prior notice of such public statement or communication. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Company shall not publicly disclose the name of any Purchaser, or include the name of any Purchaser in any filing with the Commission or any regulatory agency or Trading Market, without the prior written consent of such Purchaser, except: (i) as required by federal securities law in connection with the filing of final Transaction Documents with the Commission and (ii) to the extent such disclosure is required by law or Trading Market regulations, provided, however, that in each such case the, Company shall provide the Purchasers with prior notice of such disclosure.

4.5.            Shareholder Rights Plan. The Company will not make or enforce any claim or, provide its consent to, any claim by any other Person, that any Purchaser or group of Purchasers is an “Acquiring Person” under any control share acquisition, business combination, poison pill (including any distribution under a rights agreement) or similar anti-takeover plan or arrangement in effect, or that any Purchaser or group of Purchasers could be deemed to trigger the provisions of any such plan or arrangement, by virtue of receiving Securities under the Transaction Documents or any other agreement between the Company and the Purchasers.

 

4.6.            Non-Public Information. Except with respect to the material terms and conditions of the transactions contemplated by the Transaction Documents, which shall be disclosed pursuant to Section 4.4, the Company covenants and agrees that neither it, nor any other Person acting on its behalf has provided or will provide any Purchaser or its agents or counsel with any information that constitutes, or the Company reasonably believes constitutes, material non-public information, unless prior thereto such Purchaser shall have consented to the receipt of such information and agreed with the Company to keep such information confidential. The Company understands and confirms that each Purchaser shall be relying on the foregoing covenant in effecting transactions in securities of the Company. To the extent that the Company delivers any material, non-public information to a Purchaser without such Purchaser’s consent, the Company hereby covenants and agrees that such Purchaser shall not have any duty of confidentiality to the Company, any of its Subsidiaries, or any of their respective officers, directors, agents, employees or Affiliates, or a duty to the Company, any of its Subsidiaries or any of their respective officers, directors, agents, employees or Affiliates not to trade on the basis of, such material, non-public information, provided that the Purchaser shall remain subject to applicable law.

The Company understands and confirms that each Purchaser shall be relying on the foregoing covenant in effecting transactions in securities of the Company.

4.7.            Indemnification of Purchasers. Subject to the provisions of this Section 4.7, the Company will indemnify and hold each Purchaser and such Purchaser’s directors, officers, shareholders, members, managers, managing members, partners, employees and agents (and any other Persons with a functionally equivalent role of a Person holding such titles notwithstanding a lack of such title or any other title), each Person who controls such Purchaser (within the meaning of Section 15 of the Securities Act and Section 20 of the Exchange Act), and the directors, officers, shareholders, agents, members, managers, managing members, partners or employees (and any other Persons with a functionally equivalent role of a Person holding such titles notwithstanding a lack of such title or any other title) of such controlling persons (each, a “Purchaser Party”) harmless from any and all losses, liabilities, obligations, claims, contingencies, damages, costs and expenses, including all judgments, amounts paid in settlements, court costs and reasonable attorneys’ fees and costs of investigation that any such Purchaser Party may suffer or incur as a result of or relating to (a) any breach of any of the representations, warranties, covenants or agreements made by the Company in this Agreement or in the other Transaction Documents, (b) any action instituted against the Purchaser Parties in any capacity, or any of them or their respective Affiliates, by any stockholder of the Company who is not an Affiliate of such Purchaser Party, with respect to any of the transactions contemplated by the Transaction Documents (unless such action is based upon a breach of such Purchaser Party’s representations, warranties or covenants under the Transaction Documents or any agreements or understandings such Purchaser Party may have with any such stockholder or any violations by such Purchaser Party of state or federal securities laws or any conduct by such Purchaser Party which constitutes fraud, gross negligence, willful misconduct or malfeasance) or (c) any untrue statement or alleged untrue statement of a material fact contained in any registration statement registering the sale or resale of the Securities, or related prospectus or prospectus supplement, or any information incorporated by reference therein, or arising out of or based upon any omission or alleged omission to state a material fact necessary in order to make the statements therein, in the light of the circumstances under which they were made, not misleading. If any action shall be brought against any Purchaser Party in respect of which indemnity may be sought pursuant to this Agreement, such Purchaser Party shall promptly notify the Company in writing, and the Company shall have the right to assume, pursue and maintain the defense thereof with counsel of its own choosing reasonably acceptable to the Purchaser Party. Any Purchaser Party shall have the right to engage separate counsel in any such action and participate in the defense thereof, but the fees and expenses of such counsel shall be at the expense of such Purchaser Party except to the extent that (i) the engagement of such separate counsel thereof has been specifically authorized by the Company in writing, (ii) the Company has failed after a reasonable period of time to assume, pursue and maintain such defense and to engage counsel or (iii) in such action there is, in the reasonable opinion of counsel, a material conflict on any material issue between the position of the Company and the position of such Purchaser Party, in which case the Company shall be responsible for the reasonable fees and expenses of no more than one such separate counsel for such Purchaser Party. The Company will not be liable to any Purchaser Party under this Agreement (y) for any settlement by a Purchaser Party effected without the Company’s prior written consent, which shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed; or (z) to the extent, but only to the extent that a loss, claim, damage or liability is attributable to any Purchaser Party’s breach of any of the representations, warranties, covenants or agreements made by such Purchaser Party in this Agreement or in the other Transaction Documents. The indemnification required by this Section 4.7 shall be made by periodic payments of the amount thereof during the course of the investigation or defense, as and when bills are received or are incurred. The indemnity agreements contained herein shall be in addition to any cause of action or similar right of any Purchaser Party against the Company or others and any liabilities the Company may be subject to pursuant to law.

 

19

 

4.8.            Reservation and Listing of Securities.

 

(a)               From and after the Initial Closing, the Company shall maintain a reserve from its duly authorized shares of Common Stock for issuance pursuant to the Transaction Documents in such amount as may then be required to fulfill its obligations in full under the Transaction Documents (including Common Stock issuable upon conversion of Conversion Shares).

 

(b)               If, on any date after the Initial Closing, the number of authorized but unissued (and otherwise unreserved) shares of Common Stock is less than the Required Minimum on such date, then the Board of Directors shall use commercially reasonable efforts to amend the Company’s certificate or articles of incorporation to increase the number of authorized but unissued shares of Common Stock to at least the Required Minimum at such time, as soon as possible and in any event not later than the 90th calendar day after such date.

 

(c)               The Company shall, if applicable but only after the Initial Closing: (i) in the time and manner required by the principal Trading Market, prepare and file with such Trading Market an additional shares listing application covering a number of shares of Common Stock at least equal to the Required Minimum on the date of such application, (ii) take all steps necessary to cause such shares of Common Stock to be approved for listing on such Trading Market as soon as possible thereafter, (iii) provide to each Purchaser evidence of such listing, and (iv) maintain the listing of such Common Stock on any date at least equal to the Required Minimum on such date on such Trading Market or another Trading Market.

 

4.9.            Form D; Blue Sky Filings. The Company shall timely file a Form D with respect to the Securities and shall provide a copy thereof, promptly upon request of any Purchaser. The Company shall take such action as the Company shall reasonably determine is necessary in order to obtain an exemption for, or to qualify the Securities for, sale to each applicable Purchaser at each Closing under applicable securities or “Blue Sky” laws of the states of the United States, and shall provide evidence of such actions promptly upon request of any Purchaser.

 

4.10.        Transfer Agent. The Company covenants and agrees that it will at all times while the Securities remain outstanding maintain a duly qualified independent transfer agent.

 

4.11.        Corporate Existence. So long as the Securities remain outstanding, the Company shall not directly or indirectly consummate any merger, reorganization, restructuring, consolidation, sale of all or substantially all of the Company’s assets or any similar transaction or related transactions, (each such transaction, an “Organizational Change”) unless the Company provides the Purchasers with three (3) Trading Days written notice of such Organizational Change.

 

4.12.        Equal Treatment of Purchasers. No consideration (including any modification of any Transaction Document) shall be offered or paid to any Person to amend or consent to a waiver or modification of any provision of any of the Transaction Documents unless the same consideration is also offered to all of the parties to the Transaction Documents. For clarification purposes, this provision constitutes a separate right granted to each Purchaser by the Company and negotiated separately by each Purchaser, and is intended for the Company to treat the Purchasers as a class and shall not in any way be construed as the Purchasers acting in concert or as a group with respect to the purchase, disposition or voting of Securities or otherwise.

 

20

 

4.13.        Conversion and Exercise Procedures. The form of Notice of Exercise in the Warrants sets forth the totality of the procedures required of the Purchasers in order to exercise the Warrants. Without limiting the preceding sentences, no ink-original Notice of Exercise shall be required, nor shall any medallion guarantee (or other type of guarantee or notarization) of any Notice of Exercise form be required in order to exercise the Warrants. No additional legal opinion, other information or instructions shall be required of the Purchasers to exercise their Warrants. The Company shall honor exercises of the Warrants and shall deliver underlying shares of Common Stock in accordance with the terms, conditions and time periods set forth in the Transaction Documents.

 

4.14.        Certain Tax Matters. After consideration of all relevant factors, the Company and the Purchaser acknowledge and agree that the fair market value on the Effective Date of each Warrant is equal to five percent (5%) of the principal amount of the corresponding Note issued to the respective Purchaser. The parties will not take any position inconsistent with the forgoing, and the Company will file tax and information returns with the Internal Revenue Service and all other relevant tax authorities based on such determination.

 

4.15.        Purchaser Commitment to Qualified Financing.

 

(a)               Each Purchaser acknowledges, covenants, affirms and agrees that in purchasing their Note(s) and Warrant(s), such Purchaser is committing to participating as an investor in the Company’s next Qualified Financing (as such term is defined in the Notes) by committing to purchase shares of preferred stock in the Company at the Qualified Financing Closing via the Backstop Commitment in cash at an aggregate purchase price no less than such Purchaser’s Bridge Funding Commitment (subject to pro rata reduction if the Backstop Commitment is not exercised in full), as more particularly set forth on “Qualified Financing Commitment” amount set forth opposite such Purchaser’s name on Schedule I to this Agreement. For the sake of example, if a Purchaser were to purchase a Note under this Agreement in the original principal amount of $100,000, such Purchaser’s Qualified Financing Commitment would also be equal to $100,000 and at the Qualified Financing Closing, such Purchaser will invest an additional $100,000 towards the purchase of shares of preferred stock in the Company upon the exercise of the Backstop Commitment for a total aggregate investment of $200,000 (subject to pro rata reduction if the Backstop Commitment is not exercised in full). Each Purchaser (other than the Lead Purchaser) further acknowledges and agrees that such Purchaser may only participate in the Qualified Financing through the Backstop Commitment and may not separately acquire shares of preferred stock in the Company through subscriptions in the Rights Offering or through any other means without the prior consent of the Lead Purchaser.

 

21

 

(b)               Each Purchaser further, on its own behalf and on behalf of its Controlling Persons, officers, directors, managers, partners, agents, or employees, hereby irrevocably covenants and agrees not to directly or indirectly assert any claims, actions or causes of action whatsoever, in law or in equity and agrees not to commence, institute or cause to be commenced or instituted, any proceeding of any kind against the Company, any other Purchaser, or any of their respective Controlling Persons, officers, directors, managers, partners, agents, or employees, in such Purchaser’s capacity as a holder of capital stock in the Company with respect to the terms and conditions of the Qualified Financing, including any limitations that are placed on such Purchaser’s ability to participate in any Rights Offering conducted by the Company in connection with a Qualified Financing.

 

(c)               Each Purchaser acknowledges that such Purchaser’s breach or failure to comply with the covenants set forth in this Section 4.15 (a “Purchaser Subscription Default”) will result in the automatic termination and forfeiture of the Warrants issued to such Purchaser under this Agreement and in the conversion of such Purchaser’s Note into shares of Common Stock of the Company in lieu of Conversion Shares at the Qualified Financing Closing (as more particularly set forth in Section 8(a) of such Note). For the avoidance of doubt, the Advance will not be taken into account for purposes of calculating the Lead Purchaser’s Qualified Financing Commitment hereunder and a Purchaser Subscription Default on the part of the Lead Purchaser will not result in the termination or forfeiture of the Converted Advance Warrant.

 

4.16.        Hawes Note. The Company is the borrower under that certain 12% Senior Secured Convertible Note due September 30, 2020 in the original principal amount of $424,615 and originally payable to George Hawes (the “Hawes Note”). The Company and the Purchasers acknowledge that on March 27, 2020, the Lead Purchaser purchased the Hawes Note from George Hawes, along with all other right, title and interest of George Hawes in and to any other documents or instruments delivered pursuant to the Hawes Note (including without limitation, the Security Agreement referenced therein) and the Lead Purchaser is the current holder of the Hawes Note. Each Purchaser (other than the Lead Purchaser) further acknowledges and confirms that (a) such Purchaser has no right, title or interest in, or any participation rights with respect to, the Hawes Note, or its acquisition by the Lead Purchaser and (b) the Lead Purchaser shall be permitted to enforce its rights with respect to the Hawes Note (and any collateral secured the Hawes Note) in such manner as it deems appropriate in its sole and absolute discretion and without regard to its status as a Purchaser hereunder or as the Agent for the Purchasers.

 

4.17.        Rights Offering Restrictions. The Company agrees that neither it, nor any other Person acting on its behalf, shall consummate a Rights Offering in which shares of the Company’s preferred stock are offered for sale at a price per share less than $0.01279 (subject to adjustment for stock dividends, splits, combinations and similar events) without first seeking the prior written consent of the Lead Purchaser, which may be withheld in its sole and absolute discretion.

 

5.                  Conditions to the Purchasers’ Obligations at each Closing. The obligations of each Purchaser to purchase the Notes at their applicable Closing are subject to the fulfillment, on or before such Closing, of each of the following conditions, unless otherwise waived by such Purchaser:

 

22

 

5.1.            Representations and Warranties True and Correct. The representations and warranties of the Company set forth in Section 2 shall be true and correct on and as of the date of such Closing.

6.1.            Representations and Warranties. The representations and warranties of each Purchaser contained in Section 3 that is purchasing a Note at such Closing shall be true and correct in all respects as of such Closing.

 

6.2.            Qualifications. All authorizations, approvals or permits, if any, of any governmental authority or regulatory body of the United States or of any state that are required in connection with the lawful issuance and sale of the Notes pursuant to this Agreement shall be obtained and effective as of the applicable Closing.

 

7.                  Agent.

 

7.1.            Appointment of Agent. Each Purchaser hereby constitutes and appoints the Lead Purchaser as their representative (the “Agent”) and their true and lawful agents and attorney-in-fact, with full power and authority in each of their names and to act on behalf of each of them in the absolute discretion of the Agent (i) with respect to the provisions of this Agreement and the other Transaction Documents, and (ii) exercising all of the rights and remedies of the Purchasers under this Agreement and the other Transaction Documents following an “Event of Default” under the Notes, an “Event of Default” under the Security Agreement or any other default under any of the Transaction Documents. This appointment and grant of power and authority is coupled with an interest and is in consideration of the mutual covenants made in this Agreement and is irrevocable and shall not be terminated by any act of the Purchasers (other than the resignation of the Agent) or by operation of law. Each Purchaser consents to the taking of any and all actions and the making of any decisions required or permitted to be taken or made by the Agent pursuant to this Section 7.1. The Lead Purchaser may resign as Agent at any time by written notice to the Company and the other Purchasers. Upon any such resignation, the Lead Purchaser shall use reasonable efforts to identify and appoint another Person to replace it as Agent hereunder. If it is unable or otherwise does not appoint another Person to act as Agent, then the holders of a majority in principal amount outstanding under the Notes shall fulfill the role of the Agent.

 

23

 

7.2.            Delegation of Duties. The Agent may execute its rights or authority under this Agreement by or through agents or attorneys-in-fact and shall be entitled to advice of counsel concerning all matters pertaining to such rights and authority. The Agent shall not be responsible for the negligence or misconduct of any agents or attorneys-in-fact selected by the Agent with reasonable care.

 

7.3.            Exculpatory Provisions. Neither the Agent nor any of its officers, directors, managers, employees, agents, partners, limited partners, members, managers, officers, attorneys-in-fact, representatives, subsidiaries or affiliates shall be (a) liable for any action lawfully taken or omitted to be taken by it or such Person in good faith under or in connection with this Agreement or the other Transaction Documents, or (b) responsible in any manner to any of the Purchasers for any recitals, statements, representations or warranties made by the Company or for any failure of the Company to perform its obligations under this Agreement or the other Transaction Documents. The Agent shall not be under any obligation to ascertain or to inquire as to the observance or performance of any of the agreements contained in, or conditions of, this Agreement or the other Transaction Documents, or to inspect the books, records or properties of the Company.

 

7.4.            Reliance by the Agent. The Agent shall be entitled to rely, and shall be fully protected in relying, upon any note, writing, resolution, notice, consent, certificate, affidavit, letter, cablegram, telegram, facsimile, electronic mail, statement, order or other document, communication or correspondence believed by it to be genuine and correct and to have been signed, sent or made by officers of the Company, public officials, other appropriate persons and upon advice and statements of legal counsel (including, without limitation, counsel to the Company), independent accountants and other experts selected by the Agent.

Each Purchaser further waives the fiduciary duty, if any, of the Agent with respect to its duties hereunder.

 

7.6.            Indemnification. Each of the Purchasers shall, on a proportionate basis in accordance with its or his ownership interest in the Notes, indemnify and hold the Agent harmless from and against any and all losses, damages, expenses, liabilities, obligations, penalties, actions, judgments, suits or disbursements (including reasonable counsel fees and expenses) which may be imposed on, incurred or sustained by, or asserted against the Agent at any time in any way relating to or arising out of any action or omission by the Agent in such capacity, except for those resulting from the Agent’s bad faith.

 

24

 

7.7.            Agent in its Individual Capacity. The Agent and its affiliates may make loans to and investments in and generally engage in any kind of business with the Company as though they were not the Agent hereunder. With respect to its investments and any indebtedness issued to it, the Agent shall have the same rights and powers under this Agreement and the other Transaction Documents as any other Purchaser and may exercise the same to its own benefit, regardless of the impact on or to other Purchasers, as though it were not Agent.

THIS NOTE AND THE SECURITIES ISSUABLE UPON THE CONVERSION HEREOF HAVE NOT BEEN REGISTERED UNDER THE SECURITIES ACT OF 1933, AS AMENDED.

H-CYTE, INC.

 

SECURED CONVERTIBLE PROMISSORY NOTE

 

$1,000,000 April 17, 2020

 

FOR VALUE RECEIVED, H-Cyte, Inc., a Nevada corporation (“Maker”), promises to pay to FWHC Bridge, LLC, a Delaware limited liability company (“Holder”), the sum of One Million Dollars ($1,000,000) (the “Principal Balance”), together with simple interest from the date of this Secured Convertible Promissory Note (this “Note”) on the unpaid Principal Balance at a rate equal to 12% per annum (subject to Section 16 below), computed on the basis of the actual number of days elapsed and a year of 365 or 366 days, as the case may be. This Note is one of the “Notes” issued pursuant to the Secured Convertible Note and Warrant Purchase Agreement, dated as of April 17, 2020 (as amended or supplemented, the “Purchase Agreement”) between Maker, Holder and the other purchasers thereunder and the holders of other Notes are sometimes referred to herein as “Holders”.

 

The following is a statement of the rights of Holder and the conditions to which this Note is subject, and to which Holder, by the acceptance of this Note, agrees:

 

1.                   Definitions. All capitalized terms used but not defined in this Note have the meanings given to them in the Purchase Agreement.

 

2.                  Maturity Date. Unless this Note is converted under Section 8 or prepaid in full pursuant to Section 4, the unpaid Principal Balance, together with any accrued but unpaid interest under this Note, shall be due and payable by Maker on October 31, 2020 (the “Maturity Date”).

 

3.                   Security. This Note is secured by the collateral of the Company pledged by the Company to the Holders pursuant to that certain Security Agreement (as it may be amended, the “Security Agreement”) dated as of the date hereof, among the Company, the existing subsidiaries of the Company and the Lead Purchaser (as agent for the Holders).

 

4.                   Prepayment. Except as provided in Section 8(b) with respect to a Sale of the Company, this Note and all or any Principal Balance or interest hereunder may not be prepaid by Maker without the prior written consent of the Lead Purchaser.

 

5.                 Notice of Sale of the Company. In the event that Maker takes any action to approve or enter into any transaction constituting a Sale of the Company, Maker shall provide Holder with at least ten (10) days’ prior written notice of the anticipated closing date of such transaction. A “Sale of the Company” means (a) the closing of the sale, transfer or other disposition, in a single transaction or series of related transactions, or all or substantially all of the Maker’s assets, (b) a transaction or series of related transactions in which a Person, or a group of related Persons, acquires from stockholders of the Maker shares representing more than fifty percent (50%) of the outstanding voting power of the Maker; or (c) a transaction that qualifies as a “Deemed Liquidation Event” as defined in the Certificate. For the avoidance of doubt, a transaction will not constitute a “Sale of the Company” if its sole purpose is to change the state of Maker’s incorporation or to create a holding company that will be owned in substantially the same proportions by the persons who held Maker’s securities immediately prior to such transaction.

 

 

6.                   Events of Default. The occurrence of any of the following shall constitute an “Event of Default” under this Note:

 

(a)                Failure to Pay. Maker fails to make any payment of principal or interest when due under the terms of this Note; provided that a failure to pay the Principal Balance and all accrued but unpaid interest at the Maturity Date shall only constitute an Event of Default if such failure continues unremedied for a period of ten (10) days following the Maturity Date after written notice from the Lead Purchaser;

 

(b)                Involuntary Bankruptcy or Insolvency Proceedings. Proceedings for the appointment of a receiver, trustee, liquidator or custodian of Maker or of all or a substantial part of the property of Maker, or an involuntary case or other proceedings seeking liquidation, reorganization or other relief with respect to Maker or the debts of Maker under any bankruptcy, insolvency or other similar law now or hereafter in effect are commenced and an order for relief entered or such proceeding is not dismissed or discharged within ninety (90) days of such commencement; or

 

(c)                Voluntary Bankruptcy or Insolvency Proceedings. Maker (i) applies for or consents to the appointment of a receiver, trustee, liquidator or custodian of itself or of all or a substantial part of its property, (ii) admits in writing to its inability to pay its debts generally as they mature, (iii) makes a general assignment for the benefit of its or any of its creditors, (iv) is dissolved or liquidated, (v) commences a voluntary case or other proceeding seeking liquidation, reorganization or other relief with respect to itself or its debts under any bankruptcy, insolvency or other similar law now or hereafter in effect or consents to any such relief or to the appointment of or taking possession of its property by any official in an involuntary case or other proceeding commenced against it.

 

(d)                Breach of Purchase Agreement. Any breach of or default under the Purchase Agreement that remains uncured for ten (10) days after written notice from the Lead Purchaser.

 

7.                   Rights of Holder upon Default. Upon the occurrence or existence of any Event of Default (other than an Event of Default referred to in Sections 6(b) and 6(c)) and at any time thereafter during the continuance of such Event of Default, Holder may, by written notice to Maker and with the prior written consent of the Lead Purchaser, declare the outstanding Principal Balance, together with accrued interest, to be immediately due and payable without presentment, demand, protest or any other notice of any kind, all of which are hereby expressly waived. Upon the occurrence or existence of any Event of Default described in Sections 6(b) and 6(c), immediately and without notice, the outstanding Principal Balance, together with accrued interest, shall automatically become immediately due and payable, without presentment, demand, protest or any other notice of any kind, all of which are hereby expressly waived. In addition to the foregoing remedies, upon the occurrence or existence of any Event of Default and at any time thereafter during the continuance of such Event of Default, Holder may, with the prior written consent of the Lead Purchaser, exercise any other right, power or remedy, either by suit in equity or by action at law, or both. All of the rights, powers and remedies of Holder shall be cumulative, and may be exercised independently, concurrently or successively in Holder’s sole discretion. No waiver by Holder of any default shall operate as a waiver of any other default or of the same default on a future occasion. No delay or omission on the part of Holder in exercising any right or remedy shall operate as a waiver thereof and no single or partial exercise by Holder of any right or remedy shall preclude any other or future exercise thereof or the exercise of any other right or remedy.

8.                   Conversion.

 

(a)    Mandatory Conversion Upon Qualified Financing Closing. If any and all amounts due hereunder are not paid in full on or before the Qualified Financing Closing, concurrently with the Qualified Financing Closing and subject to the terms and conditions set forth herein, the entire Principal Balance of this Note, together with any accrued and unpaid interest thereon, shall automatically convert into fully paid and non-assessable shares (rounded up to the nearest whole share) of the series of preferred stock of Maker issued pursuant to such Qualified Financing (the “New Securities”), such conversion in each case to occur concurrently with the Qualified Financing Closing. The number of shares of New Securities to be issued to Holder upon conversion of this Note pursuant to a Qualified Financing shall be equal to the product of (x) the Conversion Multiple and (y) the quotient obtained by dividing the entire Principal Balance of this Note, together with any accrued and unpaid interest thereon, as of the date of conversion, by the Conversion Price. The “Conversion Multiple” shall be equal to one (1), provided, that upon the occurrence of a Purchaser Subscription Default with respect to the Holder, the Conversion Multiple under this Note shall be automatically reduced to one-half (0.5) and instead of converting into the shares of New Securities in connection with such Qualified Financing, the Note shall convert into shares of Common Stock. The “Conversion Price” shall be equal to the lesser of (i) the price per share paid by the investors in such Qualified Financing for such New Securities (which are purchased for cash and not through conversion of Notes) and (ii) the price per share obtained by dividing (x) $3,000,000 by (y) the number of Fully-Diluted Shares outstanding immediately prior to the Qualified Financing Closing. “Fully-Diluted Shares” means all outstanding shares of capital stock of the Maker, assuming (A) the conversion of all convertible preferred stock and the conversion or exercise of warrants, options and all other securities convertible into or exercisable for shares of capital stock in the Maker (other than the Notes) regardless of whether such convertible securities are “in the money”, and (B) the issuance of all shares of capital stock reserved for issuance under any equity plan of the Maker, including any additional stock reserved in connection with the Qualified Financing. The issuance of any New Securities pursuant to the conversion of the Note in connection with the Qualified Financing shall be upon and subject to the same terms and conditions applicable to the New Securities sold in the Qualified Financing.

 

(b)                Conversion or Repayment Upon a Sale of the Company.

 

(i)            In the event of a Sale of the Company prior to the Qualified Financing Closing or the Maturity Date, the Holder shall be entitled, at the election of the Holder, either (A) to receive payment of the outstanding Principal Balance of, together with any accrued and unpaid interest thereon, this Note as of the initial closing of the Sale of the Company, in such form of consideration as is paid to the Maker’s shareholders in such Sale of the Company, or (B) to convert the outstanding Principal Balance together with any accrued and unpaid interest thereon, immediately prior to the closing of the Sale of the Company, into the number of shares of the Company’s Series D Preferred Stock, par value $0.001 per share (the “Series D Preferred Stock”) as is equal to the product of (x) two (2) and (y) the quotient obtained by dividing the outstanding Principal Balance and unpaid interest on this Note as of the date of conversion by the Sale Conversion Price. “Sale Conversion Price” means a price per share equal to the lesser of (x) 75% of the gross per-share consideration a holder of Series D Preferred Stock (excluding for purposes of this calculation any holders receiving shares of Series D Preferred Stock upon conversion of their Notes immediately prior to such Sale of the Company event) receives or is deemed to have received with respect to each such share of Shares D Preferred Stock in such Sale of the Company (assuming the Series D Preferred Stock did not convert into shares of Common Stock in connection with such Sale of the Company) and (y) the price per share obtained by dividing (I) $3,000,000 by (II) the number of Fully-Diluted Shares outstanding immediately prior to the closing of the Sale of the Company, such conversion in each case to occur (or be given effect) immediately prior to the closing of such Sale of the Company.

 

3

 

(ii)            Maker shall give Holder written notice of any Sale of the Company at least ten (10) days prior to the anticipated closing date thereof, and Holder shall give Maker written notice of their election in accordance with the foregoing at least five (5) days prior to such anticipated closing date. Holder acknowledges and agrees that the conversion of the Notes in connection with a Sale of the Company may be conditioned upon Holder’s execution of certain agreements and consents in the form agreed to by Maker and the acquiring party in the Sale of the Company including, without limitation, representations, warranties, escrows and indemnifications, if any, relating to the Conversion Shares issued upon conversion of the Notes.

 

(c)                Optional Conversion. If a Qualified Financing Closing does not take place on or prior to the Maturity Date, at any time on or after the Maturity Date, at the election of the Lead Purchaser, this Note together with all other Notes shall be converted into the number of shares of Series D Preferred Stock of the Company as is equal to the quotient obtained by dividing the outstanding Principal Balance and unpaid interest on this Note as of the date of conversion by the product of (x) 50 and (y) the quotient obtained by dividing (A) $3,000,000 by (B) the number of Fully-Diluted Shares outstanding immediately prior to the date of such conversion (subject to adjustments for stock dividends, splits, combinations and similar events).

 

(d)                Conversion Procedure. Upon the conversion of this Note, the Principal Balance, together with any accrued and unpaid interest thereon, shall be converted into Conversion Shares, shares of Common Stock or shares of Series D Preferred Stock, as applicable, in each case held by the Holder. The Company will not be required to issue or deliver the Conversion Shares, shares of Common Stock or shares of Series D Preferred Stock, as applicable, until the Holder has surrendered this Note to the Company (or provided an instrument of cancellation or affidavit of lost note). Upon a conversion under Section 8(a) or 8(c), Maker shall, within five (5) Business Days after such delivery, or such agreement and indemnification, issue and deliver certificates representing the number of fully paid and non-assessable shares of the New Securities, shares of Common Stock or Series D Preferred Stock, as applicable, into which the Note converts in accordance with the agreed conversion terms (bearing such legends as are required by the Purchase Agreement). Maker shall take all action to designate and authorize a sufficient number of shares of stock to be issued upon conversion to the New Securities, shares of Common Stock or Series D Preferred Stock, as applicable, following a conversion pursuant to this Section 8.

 

(e)    Joinder to Investment Documents. If this Note is converted into any shares of equity securities, Maker will prepare any joinder or amendment to any applicable Existing Investment Documents as necessary or appropriate to expressly include Holder and its shares of equity securities received upon such conversion as an investor under such document(s) (with such adjustments and limitations as may apply for such equity securities of that type and due to the amount of Holder’s stock ownership), and Holder and Maker will execute same.

 

(f)                 Effect of Conversion. Upon conversion of this Note in full, Maker shall be forever released from all its obligations and liabilities under this Note and the Note shall be deemed to be cancelled as of such time and any collateral of the Company pledged under the Security Agreement shall be released.

 

9.                  Pari Passu Notes. Holder acknowledges and agrees that the payment of all or any portion of the outstanding Principal Balance of this Note and all interest hereon shall be pari passu in right of payment and in all other respects to the other convertible promissory note(s) issued pursuant to the Purchase Agreement or pursuant to the terms of such notes. Maker shall make any payments under this Note and such other notes pro rata among the Holders of such notes based on the respective principal balances (together with any accrued and unpaid interest thereon) outstanding under them at the time of payment.

Any term, covenant, agreement or condition of this Note may be amended, and compliance therewith may be waived (either generally or in a particular circumstance and either retroactively or prospectively), in the manner specified in Section 8.12 of the Purchase Agreement. Any amendment or waiver in accordance with this Section 11 will be binding upon each of Maker, Holder, and any subsequent holder of this Note.

 

12.               Transfer of this Note by Holder. Holder may not assign, pledge, or otherwise transfer this Note without the prior written consent of Maker and the Lead Purchaser, except that Holder may assign this Note and its rights hereunder to any Affiliate of Holder; provided that Maker is given written notice at the time of such assignment stating the name and address of the assignee and such assignee agrees in writing to be bound by the terms of this Note, the Purchase Agreement and the other Transaction Documents. Subject to the foregoing, this Note may be transferred only upon compliance with the securities law restrictions set forth in this Note, the Purchase Agreement and the other Transaction Documents, the surrender of the original Note for registration of transfer, duly endorsed, or accompanied by a duly executed written instrument of transfer in form satisfactory to Maker and its counsel. Thereupon, a new note for the same Principal Balance and interest will be issued to, and registered in the name of, the assignee. Interest and Principal Balance amounts are payable only to the registered holder of this Note.

 

13.               Assignment by Maker. Neither this Note nor any of the rights, interests or obligations hereunder may be assigned, by operation of law or otherwise, in whole or in part, by Maker without the prior written consent of Holder.

 

14.               Notices. All notices, requests, demands, consents, instructions or other communications required or permitted hereunder shall be made and effective as set forth in the Purchase Agreement.

 

15.               Payment. All payments of Principal Balance, interest and any other amounts (other than by conversion) shall be made in lawful money of the United States of America and in immediately available funds at such place as Holder may from time to time designate in writing to Maker. Payment shall be credited first to Holder expenses, second to accrued interest then due and payable, if any, and then the remainder applied to the Principal Balance. All payments by the Maker under this Note shall be made without set-off or counterclaim and be free and clear and without any deduction or withholding for any taxes or fees of any nature whatsoever, unless the obligation to make such deduction or withholding is imposed by law. The Maker shall pay and save Holder harmless from all liabilities with respect to or resulting from any delay or omission to make any such deduction or withholding required by law.

 

16.               Usury; Default Interest. During any period in which an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, the Maker shall pay interest on the unpaid Principal Balance of this Note at a rate per annum equal to the rate otherwise applicable hereunder plus 6%. In the event any interest is paid on this Note which is deemed to be in excess of the then legal maximum rate, then that portion of the interest payment representing an amount in excess of the then legal maximum rate shall be deemed a payment of Principal Balance and applied against the Principal Balance of this Note.

 

17.               Coordinated Action. Holder may not institute any action to collect this Note or any other action with respect to this Note or the obligations hereunder without the prior written consent of the Lead Purchaser, as Agent for all Holders. In connection therewith, the provisions of Section 7 of the Purchase Agreement will apply, mutatis mutandis, with respect to any action taken by the Agent on behalf of all Holders. The Lead Purchaser, or any successor Agent, shall be an express third party beneficiary of the provisions of this Section 17.

 

5

 

18.               Prevailing Party. In any action at law or in equity to enforce or construe any provisions or rights under this Note, the non-prevailing party to such litigation, as determined by a court pursuant to a final order, judgment or decree, shall pay to the prevailing party all costs, expenses and reasonable attorneys’ fees incurred by such prevailing party (including, without limitation, such costs, expenses and fees on any appeal), which costs, expenses and attorneys’ fees shall be included as part of any order, judgment or decree.

 

19.               Loss of Note. Upon receipt by Maker of evidence satisfactory to it of the loss, theft, destruction or mutilation of this Note or any Note exchanged for it, and indemnity satisfactory to the Maker (in case of loss, theft or destruction) or surrender and cancellation of such Note (in the case of mutilation), Maker will (at Holder’s expense) make and deliver in lieu of such Note a new Note of like tenor.

 

20.               Saturdays, Sundays, Holidays. If any date that may at any time be specified in this Note as a date for the making of any payment of principal or interest under this Note shall fall on Saturday, Sunday or legal holiday in the State of Florida, then the date for the making of that payment shall be the next subsequent day which is not a Saturday, Sunday, or legal holiday.

 

21.               Governing Law; Jurisdiction and Venue. The provisions of Sections 8.4 and 8.5 of the Purchase Agreement will apply, mutatis mutandis, with respect to any dispute arising out of this Note.

 

22.               Waiver of Jury Trial. EACH PARTY WAIVES, TO THE FULLEST EXTENT PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE LAW, ANY RIGHT IT MAY HAVE TO A TRIAL BY JURY IN RESPECT OF ANY SUIT, ACTION OR PROCEEDING DIRECTLY OR INDIRECTLY ARISING OUT OF, UNDER OR IN CONNECTION WITH THIS NOTE.

The Company acknowledges and agrees that this Warrant was issued on the date set forth at the end of this Warrant. Consequently, the Company acknowledges and agrees that, if the Holder conducts a cashless exercise pursuant to this Section 3(b), the period during which the Holder held this Warrant may, for purposes of Rule 144 promulgated under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”), be “tacked” to the period during which the Holder holds the Warrant Shares received upon such cashless exercise.

 

(c)               Effect of Exercise. Upon receipt by the Company of this Warrant and a Notice of Exercise, together with proper payment of the Exercise Price, as provided in this Section 3, the Company agrees that such Warrant Shares shall be deemed to be issued to the Holder as the record holder of such Warrant Shares as of the close of business on the date on which this Warrant has been surrendered and payment has been made for such Warrant Shares in accordance with this Warrant and the Holder shall be deemed to be the holder of record of the Warrant Shares, notwithstanding that the stock transfer books of the Company shall then be closed or that certificates representing such Warrant Shares shall not then be actually delivered to the Holder. A stock certificate or certificates for the Warrant Shares specified in the Notice of Exercise shall be delivered to the Holder as promptly as practicable, and in any event within seven (7) business days, thereafter. The stock certificate(s) so delivered shall be in any such denominations as may be reasonably specified by the Holder in the Notice of Exercise. If this Warrant should be exercised in part only, the Company shall, upon surrender of this Warrant for cancellation, execute and deliver a new Warrant evidencing the right of the Holder to purchase the balance of the Warrant Shares subject to purchase hereunder.

 

4.                  Registration of Warrants; Transfer of Warrants. Any Warrants issued upon the transfer or exercise in part of this Warrant shall be numbered and shall be registered in a Warrant Register as they are issued. The Company shall be entitled to treat the registered holder of any Warrant on the Warrant Register as the owner in fact thereof for all purposes and shall not be bound to recognize any equitable or other claim to or interest in such Warrant on the part of any other person, and shall not be liable for any registration or transfer of Warrants which are registered or to be registered in the name of a fiduciary or the nominee of a fiduciary unless made with the actual knowledge that a fiduciary or nominee is committing a breach of trust in requesting such registration or transfer, or with the knowledge of such facts that its participation therein amounts to bad faith. This Warrant shall be transferable only on the books of the Company upon delivery thereof duly endorsed by the Holder or by its duly authorized attorney or representative, or accompanied by proper evidence of succession, assignment, or authority to transfer. In all cases of transfer by an attorney, executor, administrator, guardian, or other legal representative, duly authenticated evidence of his or its authority shall be produced. Upon any registration of transfer, the Company shall deliver a new Warrant or Warrants to the person entitled thereto. This Warrant may be exchanged, at the option of the Holder thereof, for another Warrant, or other Warrants of different denominations, of like tenor and representing in the aggregate the right to purchase a like number of Warrant Shares, upon surrender to the Company or its duly authorized agent.

5.                  Restrictions on Transfer.

 

(a)               The Holder, as of the date of issuance hereof, represents to the Company that such Holder is acquiring the Warrants for its own account for investment purposes and not with a view to the distribution thereof or of the Warrant Shares. Notwithstanding any provisions contained in this Warrant to the contrary, this Warrant and the related Warrant Shares shall not be transferable except pursuant to the proviso contained in the following sentence or upon the conditions specified in this Section 4, which conditions are intended, among other things, to insure compliance with the provisions of the Securities Act and applicable state law in respect of the transfer of this Warrant or such Warrant Shares. The Holder by acceptance of this Warrant agrees that the Holder will not transfer this Warrant or the related Warrant Shares prior to delivery to the Company of an opinion of the Holder’s counsel (as such opinion and such counsel are described in Section 5(b) hereof) or until registration of such Warrant Shares under the Securities Act has become effective or after a sale of such Warrant or Warrant Shares has been consummated pursuant to Rule 144 or Rule 144A under the Securities Act; provided, however, that the Holder may freely transfer this Warrant or such Warrant Shares (without delivery to the Company of an opinion of counsel) (i) to one of its nominees, affiliates or a nominee thereof, (ii) to a pension or profit-sharing fund established and maintained for its employees or for the employees of any affiliate, (iii) from a nominee to any of the aforementioned persons as beneficial owner of this Warrant or such Warrant Shares, (iv) to a qualified institutional buyer, so long as such transfer is effected in compliance with Rule 144A under the Securities Act, or (v) to an accredited investor (as such term is defined in Regulation D under the Securities Act).

 

(b)               The Holder, by its acceptance hereof, agrees that prior to any transfer of this Warrant or of the related Warrant Shares (other than as permitted by Section 5(a) hereof or pursuant to a registration under the Securities Act), the Holder will give written notice to the Company of its intention to effect such transfer, together with an opinion of such counsel for the Holder as shall be reasonably acceptable to the Company, to the effect that the proposed transfer of this Warrant and/or such Warrant Shares may be effected without registration under the Securities Act. Upon delivery of such notice and opinion to the Company, the Holder shall be entitled to transfer this Warrant and/or such Warrant Shares in accordance with the intended method of disposition specified in the notice to the Company.

 

(c)               Each stock certificate representing Warrant Shares issued upon exercise or exchange of this Warrant and any other securities issued in respect of the Warrant Shares upon any stock split, stock dividend, recapitalization, merger, consolidation or similar event, shall bear the following legend (unless the opinion of counsel referred to in Section 5(b) states such legend is not required) in addition to any other agreement to which the Holder is subject:

 

“THIS SECURITY HAS NOT BEEN REGISTERED WITH THE SECURITIES AND EXCHANGE COMMISSION OR THE SECURITIES COMMISSION OF ANY STATE IN RELIANCE UPON AN EXEMPTION FROM REGISTRATION UNDER THE SECURITIES ACT OF 1933, AS AMENDED (THE “SECURITIES ACT”), AND, ACCORDINGLY, MAY NOT BE OFFERED OR SOLD EXCEPT PURSUANT TO AN EFFECTIVE REGISTRATION STATEMENT UNDER THE SECURITIES ACT OR PURSUANT TO AN AVAILABLE EXEMPTION FROM, OR IN A TRANSACTION NOT SUBJECT TO, THE REGISTRATION REQUIREMENTS OF THE SECURITIES ACT AND IN ACCORDANCE WITH APPLICABLE STATE SECURITIES LAWS. THIS SECURITY MAY BE PLEDGED IN CONNECTION WITH A BONA FIDE MARGIN ACCOUNT WITH A REGISTERED BROKER-DEALER OR OTHER LOAN WITH A FINANCIAL INSTITUTION THAT IS AN “ACCREDITED INVESTOR” AS DEFINED IN RULE 501(a) UNDER THE SECURITIES ACT OR OTHER LOAN SECURED BY SUCH SECURITIES.”

 

5

 

The Holder understands that the Company may place, and may instruct any transfer agent or depository for the Warrant Shares to place, a stop transfer notation in the securities records in respect of the Warrant Shares.

 

6.                  Reservation of Shares. The Company shall at all times during the Exercise Period reserve and keep available out of its authorized and unissued Common Stock, solely for the purpose of providing for the exercise of the rights to purchase all Warrant Shares granted pursuant to the Warrants, such number of shares of Common Stock as shall, from time to time, be sufficient therefor. The Company covenants that all shares of Common Stock issuable upon exercise of this Warrant, upon receipt by the Company of the full Exercise Price therefor, and all shares of Common Stock issuable upon conversion of this Warrant, shall be validly issued, fully paid, non-assessable, and free of preemptive rights, and free from all taxes, claims, liens, charges and other encumbrances.

 

7.                  Certain Adjustments.

 

(a)               The Exercise Price shall be subject to adjustment from time to time as follows:

 

(i)                 In the event that the Company shall (A) pay a dividend or make a distribution to all its stockholders, in shares of Common Stock, on any class of capital stock of the Company or any subsidiary which is not directly or indirectly wholly owned by the Company, (B) split or subdivide its outstanding Common Stock into a greater number of shares, or (C) combine its outstanding Common Stock into a smaller number of shares, then in each such case the Exercise Price in effect immediately prior thereto shall be adjusted so that the Holder of a Warrant thereafter surrendered for Exercise shall be entitled to receive the number of shares of Common Stock that such Holder would have owned or have been entitled to receive after the occurrence of any of the events described above had such Warrant been exercised immediately prior to the occurrence of such event. An adjustment made pursuant to this Section 7(a)(i) shall become effective immediately after the close of business on the record date in the case of a dividend or distribution (except as provided in Section 7(e) below) and shall become effective immediately after the close of business on the effective date in the case of such subdivision, split or combination, as the case may be. Any shares of Common Stock issuable in payment of a dividend shall be deemed to have been issued immediately prior to the close of business on the record date for such dividend for purposes of calculating the number of outstanding shares of Common Stock under clauses (c) and (d) below.

 

(ii)              No adjustment in the Exercise Price shall be required unless the adjustment would require an increase or decrease of at least 1% in the Exercise Price then in effect; provided, however, that any adjustments that by reason of this Section 7(a) are not required to be made shall be carried forward and taken into account in any subsequent adjustment. All calculations under this Section 7(a) shall be made to the nearest cent or nearest 1/100th of a share.

 

6

 

(iii)            The Company from time to time may reduce the Exercise Price by any amount for any period of time in the discretion of the Board of Directors. A voluntary reduction of the Exercise Price does not change or adjust the Exercise Price otherwise in effect for purposes of this Section 7(a).

 

(iv)             In the event that, at any time as a result of an adjustment made pursuant to Section 7(a)(i) or 7(a)(ii) above, the Holder of any Warrant thereafter surrendered for exercise shall become entitled to receive any shares of the Company other than shares of the Common Stock, thereafter the number of such other shares so receivable upon exercise of any such Warrant shall be subject to adjustment from time to time in a manner and on terms as nearly equivalent as practicable to the provisions with respect to the Common Stock contained in Section 7(a)(i) or 7(a)(ii) above, and the other provisions of this Section 7(a) with respect to the Common Stock shall apply on like terms to any such other shares.

 

(b)               In case of any reclassification of the Common Stock (other than in a transaction to which Section 7(a)(i) applies), any consolidation of the Company with, or merger of the Company into, any other entity, any merger of another entity into the Company (other than a merger that does not result in any reclassification, conversion, exchange or cancellation of outstanding shares of Common Stock of the Company), any sale or transfer of all or substantially all of the assets of the Company or any compulsory share exchange, pursuant to which share exchange the Common Stock is converted into other securities, cash or other property, then lawful provision shall be made as part of the terms of such transaction whereby the Holder of a Warrant then outstanding shall have the right thereafter, during the period such Warrant shall be exercisable, to exercise such Warrant only for the kind and amount of securities, cash and other property receivable upon the reclassification, consolidation, merger, sale, transfer or share exchange by a holder of the number of shares of Common Stock of the Company into which a Warrant might have been able to exercise for immediately prior to the reclassification, consolidation, merger, sale, transfer or share exchange assuming that such holder of Common Stock failed to exercise rights of election, if any, as to the kind or amount of securities, cash or other property receivable upon consummation of such transaction subject to adjustment as provided in Section 7(a) above following the date of consummation of such transaction. The provisions of this Section 7(b) shall similarly apply to successive reclassifications, consolidations, mergers, sales, transfers or share exchanges.

 

(c)               If (i) the Company shall take any action which would require an adjustment in the Exercise Price pursuant to Section 7(a); (ii) the Company shall authorize the granting to the holders of its Common Stock generally of rights, warrants or options to subscribe for or purchase any shares of any class or any other rights, warrants or options; (iii) there shall be any reclassification or change of the Common Stock (other than a subdivision or combination of its outstanding Common Stock or a change in par value) or any consolidation, merger or statutory share exchange to which the Company is a party and for which approval of any stockholders of the Company is required, or the sale or transfer of all or substantially all of the assets of the Company; or (iv) there shall be a voluntary or involuntary dissolution, liquidation or winding up of the Company; then, in each such case, the Company shall cause to be filed with the transfer agent for the Warrants and shall cause to be mailed to each Holder at such Holder’s address as shown on the books of the transfer agent for the Warrants, as promptly as possible, but at least 30 days prior to the applicable date hereinafter specified, a notice stating (A) the date on which a record is to be taken for the purpose of such dividend, distribution or granting of rights, warrants or options, or, if a record is not to be taken, the date as of which the holders of Common Stock of record to be entitled to such dividend, distribution or rights, warrants or options are to be determined, or (B) the date on which such reclassification, change, consolidation, merger, statutory share exchange, sale, transfer, dissolution, liquidation or winding-up is expected to become effective or occur, and the date as of which it is expected that holders of Common Stock of record shall be entitled to exchange their shares of Common Stock for securities or other property deliverable upon such reclassification, change, consolidation, merger, statutory share exchange, sale, transfer, dissolution, liquidation or winding up. Failure to give such notice or any defect therein shall not affect the legality or validity of the proceedings described in this Section 7(c).

 

7

 

(d)               Whenever the Exercise Price is adjusted as herein provided, the Company shall promptly file with the transfer agent for the Warrants a certificate of an officer of the Company setting forth the Exercise Price after the adjustment and setting forth a brief statement of the facts requiring such adjustment and a computation thereof. The Company shall promptly cause a notice of the adjusted Exercise Price to be mailed to each Holder.

 

(e)               In any case in which Section 7(a) provides that an adjustment shall become effective immediately after a record date for an event and the date fixed for such adjustment pursuant to Section 7(a) occurs after such record date but before the occurrence of such event, the Company may defer until the actual occurrence of such event (i) issuing to the Holder of any Warrants exercised after such record date and before the occurrence of such event the additional shares of Common Stock issuable upon such conversion by reason of the adjustment required by such event over and above the Common Stock issuable upon such exercise before giving effect to such adjustment, and (ii) paying to such holder any amount in cash in lieu of any fraction pursuant to Section 7(h).

 

(f)                In case the Company shall take any action affecting the Common Stock, other than actions described in this Section 7, which in the opinion of the Board of Directors would materially adversely affect the exercise right of the Holders, the Exercise Price may be adjusted, to the extent permitted by law, in such manner, if any, and at such time, as the Board of Directors may determine to be equitable in the circumstances; provided, however, that in no event shall the Board of Directors be required to take any such action.

 

(g)               For the purpose of any computation under Section 3(b) or this Section 7, the “Current Market Price” per share of Common Stock shall mean the VWAP of the Common Stock on the day in question.

 

(h)               The Company shall not be required to issue fractions of shares of Common Stock or other capital stock of the Company upon the exercise of this Warrant. If any fraction of a share would be issuable on the exercise of this Warrant (or specified portions thereof), the Company shall purchase such fraction for an amount in cash equal to the same fraction of the Current Market Price of such share of Common Stock on the date of exercise of this Warrant.

 

8

 

8.                  Transfer Taxes. The issuance of any shares or other securities upon the exercise of this Warrant, and the delivery of certificates or other instruments representing such shares or other securities, shall be made without charge to the Holder for any tax or other charge in respect of such issuance. The Company shall not, however, be required to pay any tax which may be payable in respect of any transfer involved in the issue and delivery of any certificate in a name other than that of the Holder and the Company shall not be required to issue or deliver any such certificate unless and until the person or persons requesting the issue thereof shall have paid to the Company the amount of such tax or shall have established to the satisfaction of the Company that such tax has been paid.

 

9.                  Loss or Mutilation of Warrant. Upon receipt of evidence reasonably satisfactory to the Company of the loss, theft, destruction, or mutilation of any Warrant (and upon surrender of any Warrant if mutilated), and upon reimbursement of the Company’s reasonable incidental expenses, the Company shall execute and deliver to the Holder thereof a new Warrant of like date, tenor, and denomination in lieu of the lost, stolen, destroyed or mutilated Warrant or stock certificate provided, however, that, if the Company’s stock is publicly traded, the Company may require the posting of a bond in an amount and nature as is customary and reasonable given the circumstances.

 

10.              No Rights as a Stockholder. The Holder of any Warrant shall not have, solely on account of such status, any rights of a stockholder of the Company, either at law or in equity, or to any notice of meetings of stockholders or of any other proceedings of the Company, except as provided in this Warrant.

 

11.              Stockholder Agreements. This Warrant and the Warrant Shares exercisable hereunder are subject to the terms of each of those certain Investors’ Rights Agreement, Right of First Refusal Agreement and Voting Agreement, as each may be amended or restated from time to time, each dated November 15, 2019 (collectively, and as the same may hereafter be amended, the “Stockholder Agreements”). In the event that Holder is not already a party to each of the Stockholder Agreements, as a condition precedent to the Company’s issuance of any of the Warrant Shares exercisable hereunder, Holder shall execute an adoption agreement in a form acceptable to the Company providing that Holder become a party as an “Investor” to each of the Stockholder Agreements.

 

12.              Governing Law. All questions concerning the construction, validity, enforcement and interpretation of this Warrant shall be governed by and construed and enforced in accordance with the internal laws of the State of Nevada, without regard to the principles of conflicts of law thereof.

 

13.              Notices. All notices and other communications hereunder shall be in writing and shall be deemed given if delivered personally, by commercial delivery service, mailed by registered or certified mail (return receipt requested), sent via facsimile (with confirmation of receipt) or electronic mail to the parties at the address for each party, as set forth in the introductory paragraph with respect to the Holder and in the case of the Company, at 201 E. Kennedy Blvd, Suite 700, Tampa, Florida 33602.

 

14.              Acceptance of Warrant. By acceptance of this Warrant, the Holder accepts and agrees to be bound by all of the terms and provisions set forth herein.

Bridge Note #2

 

THIS NOTE AND THE SECURITIES ISSUABLE UPON THE CONVERSION HEREOF HAVE NOT BEEN REGISTERED UNDER THE SECURITIES ACT OF 1933, AS AMENDED. THEY MAY NOT BE SOLD, OFFERED FOR SALE, PLEDGED OR HYPOTHECATED IN THE ABSENCE OF AN EFFECTIVE REGISTRATION STATEMENT AS TO THE SECURITIES UNDER SAID ACT OR AN OPINION OF COUNSEL SATISFACTORY TO THE CORPORATION THAT SUCH REGISTRATION IS NOT REQUIRED.

 

H-CYTE, INC.

 

SECURED CONVERTIBLE PROMISSORY NOTE

 

$1,535,570 April 17, 2020

 

FOR VALUE RECEIVED, H-Cyte, Inc., a Nevada corporation (“Maker”), promises to pay to FWHC Bridge, LLC, a Delaware limited liability company (“Holder”), the sum of One Million Five Hundred Thirty-Five Thousand Five Hundred Seventy Dollars ($1,535,570) (the “Principal Balance”), together with simple interest from the date of this Secured Convertible Promissory Note (this “Note”) on the unpaid Principal Balance at a rate equal to 12% per annum (subject to Section 16 below), computed on the basis of the actual number of days elapsed and a year of 365 or 366 days, as the case may be. This Note is one of the “Notes” issued pursuant to the Secured Convertible Note and Warrant Purchase Agreement, dated as of April 17, 2020 (as amended or supplemented, the “Purchase Agreement”) between Maker, Holder and the other purchasers thereunder and the holders of other Notes are sometimes referred to herein as “Holders”.

 

The following is a statement of the rights of Holder and the conditions to which this Note is subject, and to which Holder, by the acceptance of this Note, agrees:

 

1.                   Definitions. All capitalized terms used but not defined in this Note have the meanings given to them in the Purchase Agreement.

 

2.                  Maturity Date. Unless this Note is converted under Section 8 or prepaid in full pursuant to Section 4, the unpaid Principal Balance, together with any accrued but unpaid interest under this Note, shall be due and payable by Maker on October 31, 2020 (the “Maturity Date”).

 

3.                   Security. This Note is secured by the collateral of the Company pledged by the Company to the Holders pursuant to that certain Security Agreement (as it may be amended, the “Security Agreement”) dated as of the date hereof, among the Company, the existing subsidiaries of the Company and the Lead Purchaser (as agent for the Holders).

 

4.                   Prepayment. Except as provided in Section 8(b) with respect to a Sale of the Company, this Note and all or any Principal Balance or interest hereunder may not be prepaid by Maker without the prior written consent of the Lead Purchaser.

 

5.                 Notice of Sale of the Company. In the event that Maker takes any action to approve or enter into any transaction constituting a Sale of the Company, Maker shall provide Holder with at least ten (10) days’ prior written notice of the anticipated closing date of such transaction. A “Sale of the Company” means (a) the closing of the sale, transfer or other disposition, in a single transaction or series of related transactions, or all or substantially all of the Maker’s assets, (b) a transaction or series of related transactions in which a Person, or a group of related Persons, acquires from stockholders of the Maker shares representing more than fifty percent (50%) of the outstanding voting power of the Maker; or (c) a transaction that qualifies as a “Deemed Liquidation Event” as defined in the Certificate. For the avoidance of doubt, a transaction will not constitute a “Sale of the Company” if its sole purpose is to change the state of Maker’s incorporation or to create a holding company that will be owned in substantially the same proportions by the persons who held Maker’s securities immediately prior to such transaction.

 

 

6.                   Events of Default. The occurrence of any of the following shall constitute an “Event of Default” under this Note:

 

(a)                Failure to Pay. Maker fails to make any payment of principal or interest when due under the terms of this Note; provided that a failure to pay the Principal Balance and all accrued but unpaid interest at the Maturity Date shall only constitute an Event of Default if such failure continues unremedied for a period of ten (10) days following the Maturity Date after written notice from the Lead Purchaser;

 

(b)                Involuntary Bankruptcy or Insolvency Proceedings. Proceedings for the appointment of a receiver, trustee, liquidator or custodian of Maker or of all or a substantial part of the property of Maker, or an involuntary case or other proceedings seeking liquidation, reorganization or other relief with respect to Maker or the debts of Maker under any bankruptcy, insolvency or other similar law now or hereafter in effect are commenced and an order for relief entered or such proceeding is not dismissed or discharged within ninety (90) days of such commencement; or

 

(c)                Voluntary Bankruptcy or Insolvency Proceedings. Maker (i) applies for or consents to the appointment of a receiver, trustee, liquidator or custodian of itself or of all or a substantial part of its property, (ii) admits in writing to its inability to pay its debts generally as they mature, (iii) makes a general assignment for the benefit of its or any of its creditors, (iv) is dissolved or liquidated, (v) commences a voluntary case or other proceeding seeking liquidation, reorganization or other relief with respect to itself or its debts under any bankruptcy, insolvency or other similar law now or hereafter in effect or consents to any such relief or to the appointment of or taking possession of its property by any official in an involuntary case or other proceeding commenced against it.

 

(d)                Breach of Purchase Agreement. Any breach of or default under the Purchase Agreement that remains uncured for ten (10) days after written notice from the Lead Purchaser.

 

7.                   Rights of Holder upon Default. Upon the occurrence or existence of any Event of Default (other than an Event of Default referred to in Sections 6(b) and 6(c)) and at any time thereafter during the continuance of such Event of Default, Holder may, by written notice to Maker and with the prior written consent of the Lead Purchaser, declare the outstanding Principal Balance, together with accrued interest, to be immediately due and payable without presentment, demand, protest or any other notice of any kind, all of which are hereby expressly waived. Upon the occurrence or existence of any Event of Default described in Sections 6(b) and 6(c), immediately and without notice, the outstanding Principal Balance, together with accrued interest, shall automatically become immediately due and payable, without presentment, demand, protest or any other notice of any kind, all of which are hereby expressly waived. In addition to the foregoing remedies, upon the occurrence or existence of any Event of Default and at any time thereafter during the continuance of such Event of Default, Holder may, with the prior written consent of the Lead Purchaser, exercise any other right, power or remedy, either by suit in equity or by action at law, or both. All of the rights, powers and remedies of Holder shall be cumulative, and may be exercised independently, concurrently or successively in Holder’s sole discretion. No waiver by Holder of any default shall operate as a waiver of any other default or of the same default on a future occasion. No delay or omission on the part of Holder in exercising any right or remedy shall operate as a waiver thereof and no single or partial exercise by Holder of any right or remedy shall preclude any other or future exercise thereof or the exercise of any other right or remedy.

8.                   Conversion.

 

(a)              Mandatory Conversion Upon Qualified Financing Closing. If any and all amounts due hereunder are not paid in full on or before the Qualified Financing Closing, concurrently with the Qualified Financing Closing and subject to the terms and conditions set forth herein, the entire Principal Balance of this Note, together with any accrued and unpaid interest thereon, shall automatically convert into fully paid and non-assessable shares (rounded up to the nearest whole share) of the series of preferred stock of Maker issued pursuant to such Qualified Financing (the “New Securities”), such conversion in each case to occur concurrently with the Qualified Financing Closing. The number of shares of New Securities to be issued to Holder upon conversion of this Note pursuant to a Qualified Financing shall be equal to the product of (x) the Conversion Multiple and (y) the quotient obtained by dividing the entire Principal Balance of this Note, together with any accrued and unpaid interest thereon, as of the date of conversion, by the Conversion Price. The “Conversion Multiple” shall be equal to one (1), provided, that upon the occurrence of a Purchaser Subscription Default with respect to the Holder, the Conversion Multiple under this Note shall be automatically reduced to one-half (0.5) and instead of converting into the shares of New Securities in connection with such Qualified Financing, the Note shall convert into shares of Common Stock. The “Conversion Price” shall be equal to the lesser of (i) the price per share paid by the investors in such Qualified Financing for such New Securities (which are purchased for cash and not through conversion of Notes) and (ii) the price per share obtained by dividing (x) $3,000,000 by (y) the number of Fully-Diluted Shares outstanding immediately prior to the Qualified Financing Closing. “Fully-Diluted Shares” means all outstanding shares of capital stock of the Maker, assuming (A) the conversion of all convertible preferred stock and the conversion or exercise of warrants, options and all other securities convertible into or exercisable for shares of capital stock in the Maker (other than the Notes) regardless of whether such convertible securities are “in the money”, and (B) the issuance of all shares of capital stock reserved for issuance under any equity plan of the Maker, including any additional stock reserved in connection with the Qualified Financing. The issuance of any New Securities pursuant to the conversion of the Note in connection with the Qualified Financing shall be upon and subject to the same terms and conditions applicable to the New Securities sold in the Qualified Financing.

 

(b)                Conversion or Repayment Upon a Sale of the Company.

 

(i)            In the event of a Sale of the Company prior to the Qualified Financing Closing or the Maturity Date, the Holder shall be entitled, at the election of the Holder, either (A) to receive payment of the outstanding Principal Balance of, together with any accrued and unpaid interest thereon, this Note as of the initial closing of the Sale of the Company, in such form of consideration as is paid to the Maker’s shareholders in such Sale of the Company, or (B) to convert the outstanding Principal Balance together with any accrued and unpaid interest thereon, immediately prior to the closing of the Sale of the Company, into the number of shares of the Company’s Series D Preferred Stock, par value $0.001 per share (the “Series D Preferred Stock”) as is equal to the product of (x) two (2) and (y) the quotient obtained by dividing the outstanding Principal Balance and unpaid interest on this Note as of the date of conversion by the Sale Conversion Price. “Sale Conversion Price” means a price per share equal to the lesser of (x) 75% of the gross per-share consideration a holder of Series D Preferred Stock (excluding for purposes of this calculation any holders receiving shares of Series D Preferred Stock upon conversion of their Notes immediately prior to such Sale of the Company event) receives or is deemed to have received with respect to each such share of Shares D Preferred Stock in such Sale of the Company (assuming the Series D Preferred Stock did not convert into shares of Common Stock in connection with such Sale of the Company) and (y) the price per share obtained by dividing (I) $3,000,000 by (II) the number of Fully-Diluted Shares outstanding immediately prior to the closing of the Sale of the Company, such conversion in each case to occur (or be given effect) immediately prior to the closing of such Sale of the Company.

 

3

 

(ii)            Maker shall give Holder written notice of any Sale of the Company at least ten (10) days prior to the anticipated closing date thereof, and Holder shall give Maker written notice of their election in accordance with the foregoing at least five (5) days prior to such anticipated closing date. Holder acknowledges and agrees that the conversion of the Notes in connection with a Sale of the Company may be conditioned upon Holder’s execution of certain agreements and consents in the form agreed to by Maker and the acquiring party in the Sale of the Company including, without limitation, representations, warranties, escrows and indemnifications, if any, relating to the Conversion Shares issued upon conversion of the Notes.

 

(c)                Optional Conversion. If a Qualified Financing Closing does not take place on or prior to the Maturity Date, at any time on or after the Maturity Date, at the election of the Lead Purchaser, this Note together with all other Notes shall be converted into the number of shares of Series D Preferred Stock of the Company as is equal to the quotient obtained by dividing the outstanding Principal Balance and unpaid interest on this Note as of the date of conversion by the product of (x) 50 and (y) the quotient obtained by dividing (A) $3,000,000 by (B) the number of Fully-Diluted Shares outstanding immediately prior to the date of such conversion (subject to adjustments for stock dividends, splits, combinations and similar events).

 

(d)                Conversion Procedure. Upon the conversion of this Note, the Principal Balance, together with any accrued and unpaid interest thereon, shall be converted into Conversion Shares, shares of Common Stock or shares of Series D Preferred Stock, as applicable, in each case held by the Holder. The Company will not be required to issue or deliver the Conversion Shares, shares of Common Stock or shares of Series D Preferred Stock, as applicable, until the Holder has surrendered this Note to the Company (or provided an instrument of cancellation or affidavit of lost note). Upon a conversion under Section 8(a) or 8(c), Maker shall, within five (5) Business Days after such delivery, or such agreement and indemnification, issue and deliver certificates representing the number of fully paid and non-assessable shares of the New Securities, shares of Common Stock or Series D Preferred Stock, as applicable, into which the Note converts in accordance with the agreed conversion terms (bearing such legends as are required by the Purchase Agreement). Maker shall take all action to designate and authorize a sufficient number of shares of stock to be issued upon conversion to the New Securities, shares of Common Stock or Series D Preferred Stock, as applicable, following a conversion pursuant to this Section 8.

 

(e)              Joinder to Investment Documents. If this Note is converted into any shares of equity securities, Maker will prepare any joinder or amendment to any applicable Existing Investment Documents as necessary or appropriate to expressly include Holder and its shares of equity securities received upon such conversion as an investor under such document(s) (with such adjustments and limitations as may apply for such equity securities of that type and due to the amount of Holder’s stock ownership), and Holder and Maker will execute same.

 

(f)                Effect of Conversion. Upon conversion of this Note in full, Maker shall be forever released from all its obligations and liabilities under this Note and the Note shall be deemed to be cancelled as of such time and any collateral of the Company pledged under the Security Agreement shall be released.

 

9.                  Pari Passu Notes. Holder acknowledges and agrees that the payment of all or any portion of the outstanding Principal Balance of this Note and all interest hereon shall be pari passu in right of payment and in all other respects to the other convertible promissory note(s) issued pursuant to the Purchase Agreement or pursuant to the terms of such notes. Maker shall make any payments under this Note and such other notes pro rata among the Holders of such notes based on the respective principal balances (together with any accrued and unpaid interest thereon) outstanding under them at the time of payment.

10.               Successors and Assigns. Subject to the restrictions on transfer described in Sections 12 and 13 below, the rights and obligations of Maker and Holder shall be binding upon and benefit the successors, assigns, heirs, administrators and transferees of the parties.

 

11.             Waiver and Amendment. Any term, covenant, agreement or condition of this Note may be amended, and compliance therewith may be waived (either generally or in a particular circumstance and either retroactively or prospectively), in the manner specified in Section 8.12 of the Purchase Agreement. Any amendment or waiver in accordance with this Section 11 will be binding upon each of Maker, Holder, and any subsequent holder of this Note.

 

12.               Transfer of this Note by Holder. Holder may not assign, pledge, or otherwise transfer this Note without the prior written consent of Maker and the Lead Purchaser, except that Holder may assign this Note and its rights hereunder to any Affiliate of Holder; provided that Maker is given written notice at the time of such assignment stating the name and address of the assignee and such assignee agrees in writing to be bound by the terms of this Note, the Purchase Agreement and the other Transaction Documents. Subject to the foregoing, this Note may be transferred only upon compliance with the securities law restrictions set forth in this Note, the Purchase Agreement and the other Transaction Documents, the surrender of the original Note for registration of transfer, duly endorsed, or accompanied by a duly executed written instrument of transfer in form satisfactory to Maker and its counsel. Thereupon, a new note for the same Principal Balance and interest will be issued to, and registered in the name of, the assignee. Interest and Principal Balance amounts are payable only to the registered holder of this Note.

 

13.               Assignment by Maker. Neither this Note nor any of the rights, interests or obligations hereunder may be assigned, by operation of law or otherwise, in whole or in part, by Maker without the prior written consent of Holder.

 

14.               Notices. All notices, requests, demands, consents, instructions or other communications required or permitted hereunder shall be made and effective as set forth in the Purchase Agreement.

 

15.               Payment. All payments of Principal Balance, interest and any other amounts (other than by conversion) shall be made in lawful money of the United States of America and in immediately available funds at such place as Holder may from time to time designate in writing to Maker. Payment shall be credited first to Holder expenses, second to accrued interest then due and payable, if any, and then the remainder applied to the Principal Balance. All payments by the Maker under this Note shall be made without set-off or counterclaim and be free and clear and without any deduction or withholding for any taxes or fees of any nature whatsoever, unless the obligation to make such deduction or withholding is imposed by law. The Maker shall pay and save Holder harmless from all liabilities with respect to or resulting from any delay or omission to make any such deduction or withholding required by law.

 

16.               Usury; Default Interest. During any period in which an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, the Maker shall pay interest on the unpaid Principal Balance of this Note at a rate per annum equal to the rate otherwise applicable hereunder plus 6%. In the event any interest is paid on this Note which is deemed to be in excess of the then legal maximum rate, then that portion of the interest payment representing an amount in excess of the then legal maximum rate shall be deemed a payment of Principal Balance and applied against the Principal Balance of this Note.

 

17.               Coordinated Action. Holder may not institute any action to collect this Note or any other action with respect to this Note or the obligations hereunder without the prior written consent of the Lead Purchaser, as Agent for all Holders. In connection therewith, the provisions of Section 7 of the Purchase Agreement will apply, mutatis mutandis, with respect to any action taken by the Agent on behalf of all Holders. The Lead Purchaser, or any successor Agent, shall be an express third party beneficiary of the provisions of this Section 17.

18.               Prevailing Party. In any action at law or in equity to enforce or construe any provisions or rights under this Note, the non-prevailing party to such litigation, as determined by a court pursuant to a final order, judgment or decree, shall pay to the prevailing party all costs, expenses and reasonable attorneys’ fees incurred by such prevailing party (including, without limitation, such costs, expenses and fees on any appeal), which costs, expenses and attorneys’ fees shall be included as part of any order, judgment or decree.

 

19.               Loss of Note. Upon receipt by Maker of evidence satisfactory to it of the loss, theft, destruction or mutilation of this Note or any Note exchanged for it, and indemnity satisfactory to the Maker (in case of loss, theft or destruction) or surrender and cancellation of such Note (in the case of mutilation), Maker will (at Holder’s expense) make and deliver in lieu of such Note a new Note of like tenor.

 

20.               Saturdays, Sundays, Holidays. If any date that may at any time be specified in this Note as a date for the making of any payment of principal or interest under this Note shall fall on Saturday, Sunday or legal holiday in the State of Florida, then the date for the making of that payment shall be the next subsequent day which is not a Saturday, Sunday, or legal holiday.

 

21.               Governing Law; Jurisdiction and Venue. The provisions of Sections 8.4 and 8.5 of the Purchase Agreement will apply, mutatis mutandis, with respect to any dispute arising out of this Note.

23.               No Rights as a Stockholder. Nothing contained in this Note shall be construed as conferring upon Holder, prior to the conversion of this Note, any rights of a shareholder of Maker, including the right to vote or to receive dividends, solely as it relates to this Note.

 

24.               Time is of the Essence. Time is of the essence with respect to the payment and performance of the obligations of this Note.

 

25.               Acceptance of Note. By acceptance of this Note, the Holder accepts and agrees to be bound by all of the terms and provisions set forth herein.

3.                  Procedure for Exercise; Effect of Exercise.

 

(a)               Cash Exercise. This Warrant may be exercised, in whole or in part, by the Holder during normal business hours on any business day during the Exercise Period by (i) the presentation and surrender of this Warrant to the Company at its principal office (or such other office or agency of the Company as it may designate by notice in writing to the Holder at the address of the Holder appearing on the books of the Company) along with a duly executed Notice of Exercise (in the form attached hereto) specifying the number of Warrant Shares to be purchased, and (ii) delivery of payment to the Company of the Exercise Price for the number of Warrant Shares specified in the Notice of Exercise by cash, wire transfer of immediately available funds to a bank account specified by the Company, or by certified or bank cashier’s check.

 

(b)               Cashless Exercise. If the Warrant has been outstanding for six (6) months and there is no effective registration statement including the Warrant Shares, this Warrant may also be exercised by the Holder through a cashless exercise, as described in this Section 3(b). In such case, this Warrant may be exercised, in whole or in part, by the Holder during normal business hours on any business day during the Exercise Period by the presentation and surrender of this Warrant to the Company at its principal office (or such other office or agency of the Company as it may designate by notice in writing to the Holder at the address of the Holder appearing on the books of the Company) along with a duly executed Notice of Exercise specifying the number of Warrant Shares to be applied to such exercise. The number of shares of Common Stock to be issued upon exercise of this Warrant pursuant to this Section 3(b) shall equal the value of this Warrant (or the portion thereof being canceled) computed as of the date of delivery of this Warrant to the Company using the following formula:

 

 

X =  Y(A-B)

             A

Where:

 

  X  =  the number of shares of Common Stock to be issued to Holder under this Section 3(b);
  Y  =  the number of Warrant Shares identified in the Notice of Exercise as being applied to the subject exercise;
  A  =  the Current Market Price on such date; and
  B  =  the Exercise Price on such date.

 

3

 

For purposes of this Section 3(b), Current Market Price shall have the definition provided in Section 7(g).

 

The Company acknowledges and agrees that this Warrant was issued on the date set forth at the end of this Warrant. Consequently, the Company acknowledges and agrees that, if the Holder conducts a cashless exercise pursuant to this Section 3(b), the period during which the Holder held this Warrant may, for purposes of Rule 144 promulgated under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”), be “tacked” to the period during which the Holder holds the Warrant Shares received upon such cashless exercise.

 

(c)               Effect of Exercise. Upon receipt by the Company of this Warrant and a Notice of Exercise, together with proper payment of the Exercise Price, as provided in this Section 3, the Company agrees that such Warrant Shares shall be deemed to be issued to the Holder as the record holder of such Warrant Shares as of the close of business on the date on which this Warrant has been surrendered and payment has been made for such Warrant Shares in accordance with this Warrant and the Holder shall be deemed to be the holder of record of the Warrant Shares, notwithstanding that the stock transfer books of the Company shall then be closed or that certificates representing such Warrant Shares shall not then be actually delivered to the Holder. A stock certificate or certificates for the Warrant Shares specified in the Notice of Exercise shall be delivered to the Holder as promptly as practicable, and in any event within seven (7) business days, thereafter. The stock certificate(s) so delivered shall be in any such denominations as may be reasonably specified by the Holder in the Notice of Exercise. If this Warrant should be exercised in part only, the Company shall, upon surrender of this Warrant for cancellation, execute and deliver a new Warrant evidencing the right of the Holder to purchase the balance of the Warrant Shares subject to purchase hereunder.

 

4.                  Registration of Warrants; Transfer of Warrants. Any Warrants issued upon the transfer or exercise in part of this Warrant shall be numbered and shall be registered in a Warrant Register as they are issued. The Company shall be entitled to treat the registered holder of any Warrant on the Warrant Register as the owner in fact thereof for all purposes and shall not be bound to recognize any equitable or other claim to or interest in such Warrant on the part of any other person, and shall not be liable for any registration or transfer of Warrants which are registered or to be registered in the name of a fiduciary or the nominee of a fiduciary unless made with the actual knowledge that a fiduciary or nominee is committing a breach of trust in requesting such registration or transfer, or with the knowledge of such facts that its participation therein amounts to bad faith. This Warrant shall be transferable only on the books of the Company upon delivery thereof duly endorsed by the Holder or by its duly authorized attorney or representative, or accompanied by proper evidence of succession, assignment, or authority to transfer. In all cases of transfer by an attorney, executor, administrator, guardian, or other legal representative, duly authenticated evidence of his or its authority shall be produced. Upon any registration of transfer, the Company shall deliver a new Warrant or Warrants to the person entitled thereto. This Warrant may be exchanged, at the option of the Holder thereof, for another Warrant, or other Warrants of different denominations, of like tenor and representing in the aggregate the right to purchase a like number of Warrant Shares, upon surrender to the Company or its duly authorized agent.

5.                  Restrictions on Transfer.

 

(a)               The Holder, as of the date of issuance hereof, represents to the Company that such Holder is acquiring the Warrants for its own account for investment purposes and not with a view to the distribution thereof or of the Warrant Shares. Notwithstanding any provisions contained in this Warrant to the contrary, this Warrant and the related Warrant Shares shall not be transferable except pursuant to the proviso contained in the following sentence or upon the conditions specified in this Section 4, which conditions are intended, among other things, to insure compliance with the provisions of the Securities Act and applicable state law in respect of the transfer of this Warrant or such Warrant Shares. The Holder by acceptance of this Warrant agrees that the Holder will not transfer this Warrant or the related Warrant Shares prior to delivery to the Company of an opinion of the Holder’s counsel (as such opinion and such counsel are described in Section 5(b) hereof) or until registration of such Warrant Shares under the Securities Act has become effective or after a sale of such Warrant or Warrant Shares has been consummated pursuant to Rule 144 or Rule 144A under the Securities Act; provided, however, that the Holder may freely transfer this Warrant or such Warrant Shares (without delivery to the Company of an opinion of counsel) (i) to one of its nominees, affiliates or a nominee thereof, (ii) to a pension or profit-sharing fund established and maintained for its employees or for the employees of any affiliate, (iii) from a nominee to any of the aforementioned persons as beneficial owner of this Warrant or such Warrant Shares, (iv) to a qualified institutional buyer, so long as such transfer is effected in compliance with Rule 144A under the Securities Act, or (v) to an accredited investor (as such term is defined in Regulation D under the Securities Act).

 

(b)               The Holder, by its acceptance hereof, agrees that prior to any transfer of this Warrant or of the related Warrant Shares (other than as permitted by Section 5(a) hereof or pursuant to a registration under the Securities Act), the Holder will give written notice to the Company of its intention to effect such transfer, together with an opinion of such counsel for the Holder as shall be reasonably acceptable to the Company, to the effect that the proposed transfer of this Warrant and/or such Warrant Shares may be effected without registration under the Securities Act. Upon delivery of such notice and opinion to the Company, the Holder shall be entitled to transfer this Warrant and/or such Warrant Shares in accordance with the intended method of disposition specified in the notice to the Company.

 

(c)               Each stock certificate representing Warrant Shares issued upon exercise or exchange of this Warrant and any other securities issued in respect of the Warrant Shares upon any stock split, stock dividend, recapitalization, merger, consolidation or similar event, shall bear the following legend (unless the opinion of counsel referred to in Section 5(b) states such legend is not required) in addition to any other agreement to which the Holder is subject:

 

“THIS SECURITY HAS NOT BEEN REGISTERED WITH THE SECURITIES AND EXCHANGE COMMISSION OR THE SECURITIES COMMISSION OF ANY STATE IN RELIANCE UPON AN EXEMPTION FROM REGISTRATION UNDER THE SECURITIES ACT OF 1933, AS AMENDED (THE “SECURITIES ACT”), AND, ACCORDINGLY, MAY NOT BE OFFERED OR SOLD EXCEPT PURSUANT TO AN EFFECTIVE REGISTRATION STATEMENT UNDER THE SECURITIES ACT OR PURSUANT TO AN AVAILABLE EXEMPTION FROM, OR IN A TRANSACTION NOT SUBJECT TO, THE REGISTRATION REQUIREMENTS OF THE SECURITIES ACT AND IN ACCORDANCE WITH APPLICABLE STATE SECURITIES LAWS. THIS SECURITY MAY BE PLEDGED IN CONNECTION WITH A BONA FIDE MARGIN ACCOUNT WITH A REGISTERED BROKER-DEALER OR OTHER LOAN WITH A FINANCIAL INSTITUTION THAT IS AN “ACCREDITED INVESTOR” AS DEFINED IN RULE 501(a) UNDER THE SECURITIES ACT OR OTHER LOAN SECURED BY SUCH SECURITIES.”

 

5

 

The Holder understands that the Company may place, and may instruct any transfer agent or depository for the Warrant Shares to place, a stop transfer notation in the securities records in respect of the Warrant Shares.

 

6.                  Reservation of Shares. The Company shall at all times during the Exercise Period reserve and keep available out of its authorized and unissued Common Stock, solely for the purpose of providing for the exercise of the rights to purchase all Warrant Shares granted pursuant to the Warrants, such number of shares of Common Stock as shall, from time to time, be sufficient therefor. The Company covenants that all shares of Common Stock issuable upon exercise of this Warrant, upon receipt by the Company of the full Exercise Price therefor, and all shares of Common Stock issuable upon conversion of this Warrant, shall be validly issued, fully paid, non-assessable, and free of preemptive rights, and free from all taxes, claims, liens, charges and other encumbrances.

 

7.                  Certain Adjustments.

 

(a)               The Exercise Price shall be subject to adjustment from time to time as follows:

 

(i)                 In the event that the Company shall (A) pay a dividend or make a distribution to all its stockholders, in shares of Common Stock, on any class of capital stock of the Company or any subsidiary which is not directly or indirectly wholly owned by the Company, (B) split or subdivide its outstanding Common Stock into a greater number of shares, or (C) combine its outstanding Common Stock into a smaller number of shares, then in each such case the Exercise Price in effect immediately prior thereto shall be adjusted so that the Holder of a Warrant thereafter surrendered for Exercise shall be entitled to receive the number of shares of Common Stock that such Holder would have owned or have been entitled to receive after the occurrence of any of the events described above had such Warrant been exercised immediately prior to the occurrence of such event. An adjustment made pursuant to this Section 7(a)(i) shall become effective immediately after the close of business on the record date in the case of a dividend or distribution (except as provided in Section 7(e) below) and shall become effective immediately after the close of business on the effective date in the case of such subdivision, split or combination, as the case may be. Any shares of Common Stock issuable in payment of a dividend shall be deemed to have been issued immediately prior to the close of business on the record date for such dividend for purposes of calculating the number of outstanding shares of Common Stock under clauses (c) and (d) below.

 

(ii)              No adjustment in the Exercise Price shall be required unless the adjustment would require an increase or decrease of at least 1% in the Exercise Price then in effect; provided, however, that any adjustments that by reason of this Section 7(a) are not required to be made shall be carried forward and taken into account in any subsequent adjustment. All calculations under this Section 7(a) shall be made to the nearest cent or nearest 1/100th of a share.

 

6

 

(iii)            The Company from time to time may reduce the Exercise Price by any amount for any period of time in the discretion of the Board of Directors. A voluntary reduction of the Exercise Price does not change or adjust the Exercise Price otherwise in effect for purposes of this Section 7(a).

 

(iv)             In the event that, at any time as a result of an adjustment made pursuant to Section 7(a)(i) or 7(a)(ii) above, the Holder of any Warrant thereafter surrendered for exercise shall become entitled to receive any shares of the Company other than shares of the Common Stock, thereafter the number of such other shares so receivable upon exercise of any such Warrant shall be subject to adjustment from time to time in a manner and on terms as nearly equivalent as practicable to the provisions with respect to the Common Stock contained in Section 7(a)(i) or 7(a)(ii) above, and the other provisions of this Section 7(a) with respect to the Common Stock shall apply on like terms to any such other shares.

 

(b)               In case of any reclassification of the Common Stock (other than in a transaction to which Section 7(a)(i) applies), any consolidation of the Company with, or merger of the Company into, any other entity, any merger of another entity into the Company (other than a merger that does not result in any reclassification, conversion, exchange or cancellation of outstanding shares of Common Stock of the Company), any sale or transfer of all or substantially all of the assets of the Company or any compulsory share exchange, pursuant to which share exchange the Common Stock is converted into other securities, cash or other property, then lawful provision shall be made as part of the terms of such transaction whereby the Holder of a Warrant then outstanding shall have the right thereafter, during the period such Warrant shall be exercisable, to exercise such Warrant only for the kind and amount of securities, cash and other property receivable upon the reclassification, consolidation, merger, sale, transfer or share exchange by a holder of the number of shares of Common Stock of the Company into which a Warrant might have been able to exercise for immediately prior to the reclassification, consolidation, merger, sale, transfer or share exchange assuming that such holder of Common Stock failed to exercise rights of election, if any, as to the kind or amount of securities, cash or other property receivable upon consummation of such transaction subject to adjustment as provided in Section 7(a) above following the date of consummation of such transaction. The provisions of this Section 7(b) shall similarly apply to successive reclassifications, consolidations, mergers, sales, transfers or share exchanges.

 

(c)               If (i) the Company shall take any action which would require an adjustment in the Exercise Price pursuant to Section 7(a); (ii) the Company shall authorize the granting to the holders of its Common Stock generally of rights, warrants or options to subscribe for or purchase any shares of any class or any other rights, warrants or options; (iii) there shall be any reclassification or change of the Common Stock (other than a subdivision or combination of its outstanding Common Stock or a change in par value) or any consolidation, merger or statutory share exchange to which the Company is a party and for which approval of any stockholders of the Company is required, or the sale or transfer of all or substantially all of the assets of the Company; or (iv) there shall be a voluntary or involuntary dissolution, liquidation or winding up of the Company; then, in each such case, the Company shall cause to be filed with the transfer agent for the Warrants and shall cause to be mailed to each Holder at such Holder’s address as shown on the books of the transfer agent for the Warrants, as promptly as possible, but at least 30 days prior to the applicable date hereinafter specified, a notice stating (A) the date on which a record is to be taken for the purpose of such dividend, distribution or granting of rights, warrants or options, or, if a record is not to be taken, the date as of which the holders of Common Stock of record to be entitled to such dividend, distribution or rights, warrants or options are to be determined, or (B) the date on which such reclassification, change, consolidation, merger, statutory share exchange, sale, transfer, dissolution, liquidation or winding-up is expected to become effective or occur, and the date as of which it is expected that holders of Common Stock of record shall be entitled to exchange their shares of Common Stock for securities or other property deliverable upon such reclassification, change, consolidation, merger, statutory share exchange, sale, transfer, dissolution, liquidation or winding up. Failure to give such notice or any defect therein shall not affect the legality or validity of the proceedings described in this Section 7(c).

 

7

 

(d)               Whenever the Exercise Price is adjusted as herein provided, the Company shall promptly file with the transfer agent for the Warrants a certificate of an officer of the Company setting forth the Exercise Price after the adjustment and setting forth a brief statement of the facts requiring such adjustment and a computation thereof. The Company shall promptly cause a notice of the adjusted Exercise Price to be mailed to each Holder.

 

(e)               In any case in which Section 7(a) provides that an adjustment shall become effective immediately after a record date for an event and the date fixed for such adjustment pursuant to Section 7(a) occurs after such record date but before the occurrence of such event, the Company may defer until the actual occurrence of such event (i) issuing to the Holder of any Warrants exercised after such record date and before the occurrence of such event the additional shares of Common Stock issuable upon such conversion by reason of the adjustment required by such event over and above the Common Stock issuable upon such exercise before giving effect to such adjustment, and (ii) paying to such holder any amount in cash in lieu of any fraction pursuant to Section 7(h).

 

(f)                In case the Company shall take any action affecting the Common Stock, other than actions described in this Section 7, which in the opinion of the Board of Directors would materially adversely affect the exercise right of the Holders, the Exercise Price may be adjusted, to the extent permitted by law, in such manner, if any, and at such time, as the Board of Directors may determine to be equitable in the circumstances; provided, however, that in no event shall the Board of Directors be required to take any such action.

 

(g)               For the purpose of any computation under Section 3(b) or this Section 7, the “Current Market Price” per share of Common Stock shall mean the VWAP of the Common Stock on the day in question.

 

(h)               The Company shall not be required to issue fractions of shares of Common Stock or other capital stock of the Company upon the exercise of this Warrant. If any fraction of a share would be issuable on the exercise of this Warrant (or specified portions thereof), the Company shall purchase such fraction for an amount in cash equal to the same fraction of the Current Market Price of such share of Common Stock on the date of exercise of this Warrant.

8.                  Transfer Taxes. The issuance of any shares or other securities upon the exercise of this Warrant, and the delivery of certificates or other instruments representing such shares or other securities, shall be made without charge to the Holder for any tax or other charge in respect of such issuance. The Company shall not, however, be required to pay any tax which may be payable in respect of any transfer involved in the issue and delivery of any certificate in a name other than that of the Holder and the Company shall not be required to issue or deliver any such certificate unless and until the person or persons requesting the issue thereof shall have paid to the Company the amount of such tax or shall have established to the satisfaction of the Company that such tax has been paid.

 

9.                  Loss or Mutilation of Warrant. Upon receipt of evidence reasonably satisfactory to the Company of the loss, theft, destruction, or mutilation of any Warrant (and upon surrender of any Warrant if mutilated), and upon reimbursement of the Company’s reasonable incidental expenses, the Company shall execute and deliver to the Holder thereof a new Warrant of like date, tenor, and denomination in lieu of the lost, stolen, destroyed or mutilated Warrant or stock certificate provided, however, that, if the Company’s stock is publicly traded, the Company may require the posting of a bond in an amount and nature as is customary and reasonable given the circumstances.

 

10.              No Rights as a Stockholder. The Holder of any Warrant shall not have, solely on account of such status, any rights of a stockholder of the Company, either at law or in equity, or to any notice of meetings of stockholders or of any other proceedings of the Company, except as provided in this Warrant.

 

11.              Stockholder Agreements. This Warrant and the Warrant Shares exercisable hereunder are subject to the terms of each of those certain Investors’ Rights Agreement, Right of First Refusal Agreement and Voting Agreement, as each may be amended or restated from time to time, each dated November 15, 2019 (collectively, and as the same may hereafter be amended, the “Stockholder Agreements”). In the event that Holder is not already a party to each of the Stockholder Agreements, as a condition precedent to the Company’s issuance of any of the Warrant Shares exercisable hereunder, Holder shall execute an adoption agreement in a form acceptable to the Company providing that Holder become a party as an “Investor” to each of the Stockholder Agreements.

Bridge Friends Note

 

THIS NOTE AND THE SECURITIES ISSUABLE UPON THE CONVERSION HEREOF HAVE NOT BEEN REGISTERED UNDER THE SECURITIES ACT OF 1933, AS AMENDED. THEY MAY NOT BE SOLD, OFFERED FOR SALE, PLEDGED OR HYPOTHECATED IN THE ABSENCE OF AN EFFECTIVE REGISTRATION STATEMENT AS TO THE SECURITIES UNDER SAID ACT OR AN OPINION OF COUNSEL SATISFACTORY TO THE CORPORATION THAT SUCH REGISTRATION IS NOT REQUIRED.

 

H-CYTE, INC.

 

SECURED CONVERTIBLE PROMISSORY NOTE

 

$100,000 April 17, 2020

 

FOR VALUE RECEIVED, H-Cyte, Inc., a Nevada corporation (“Maker”), promises to pay to FWHC Bridge Friends, LLC, a Delaware limited liability company (“Holder”), the sum of One Hundred Thousand Dollars ($100,000) (the “Principal Balance”), together with simple interest from the date of this Secured Convertible Promissory Note (this “Note”) on the unpaid Principal Balance at a rate equal to 12% per annum (subject to Section 16 below), computed on the basis of the actual number of days elapsed and a year of 365 or 366 days, as the case may be. This Note is one of the “Notes” issued pursuant to the Secured Convertible Note and Warrant Purchase Agreement, dated as of April 17, 2020 (as amended or supplemented, the “Purchase Agreement”) between Maker, Holder and the other purchasers thereunder and the holders of other Notes are sometimes referred to herein as “Holders”.

 

The following is a statement of the rights of Holder and the conditions to which this Note is subject, and to which Holder, by the acceptance of this Note, agrees:

 

1.                   Definitions. All capitalized terms used but not defined in this Note have the meanings given to them in the Purchase Agreement.

 

2.                  Maturity Date. Unless this Note is converted under Section 8 or prepaid in full pursuant to Section 4, the unpaid Principal Balance, together with any accrued but unpaid interest under this Note, shall be due and payable by Maker on October 31, 2020 (the “Maturity Date”).

 

3.                   Security. This Note is secured by the collateral of the Company pledged by the Company to the Holders pursuant to that certain Security Agreement (as it may be amended, the “Security Agreement”) dated as of the date hereof, among the Company, the existing subsidiaries of the Company and the Lead Purchaser (as agent for the Holders).

 

4.                   Prepayment. Except as provided in Section 8(b) with respect to a Sale of the Company, this Note and all or any Principal Balance or interest hereunder may not be prepaid by Maker without the prior written consent of the Lead Purchaser.

 

5.       Notice of Sale of the Company. In the event that Maker takes any action to approve or enter into any transaction constituting a Sale of the Company, Maker shall provide Holder with at least ten (10) days’ prior written notice of the anticipated closing date of such transaction. A “Sale of the Company” means (a) the closing of the sale, transfer or other disposition, in a single transaction or series of related transactions, or all or substantially all of the Maker’s assets, (b) a transaction or series of related transactions in which a Person, or a group of related Persons, acquires from stockholders of the Maker shares representing more than fifty percent (50%) of the outstanding voting power of the Maker; or (c) a transaction that qualifies as a “Deemed Liquidation Event” as defined in the Certificate. For the avoidance of doubt, a transaction will not constitute a “Sale of the Company” if its sole purpose is to change the state of Maker’s incorporation or to create a holding company that will be owned in substantially the same proportions by the persons who held Maker’s securities immediately prior to such transaction.

 

 

6.                   Events of Default. The occurrence of any of the following shall constitute an “Event of Default” under this Note:

 

(a)                Failure to Pay. Maker fails to make any payment of principal or interest when due under the terms of this Note; provided that a failure to pay the Principal Balance and all accrued but unpaid interest at the Maturity Date shall only constitute an Event of Default if such failure continues unremedied for a period of ten (10) days following the Maturity Date after written notice from the Lead Purchaser;

 

(b)                Involuntary Bankruptcy or Insolvency Proceedings. Proceedings for the appointment of a receiver, trustee, liquidator or custodian of Maker or of all or a substantial part of the property of Maker, or an involuntary case or other proceedings seeking liquidation, reorganization or other relief with respect to Maker or the debts of Maker under any bankruptcy, insolvency or other similar law now or hereafter in effect are commenced and an order for relief entered or such proceeding is not dismissed or discharged within ninety (90) days of such commencement; or

 

(c)                Voluntary Bankruptcy or Insolvency Proceedings. Maker (i) applies for or consents to the appointment of a receiver, trustee, liquidator or custodian of itself or of all or a substantial part of its property, (ii) admits in writing to its inability to pay its debts generally as they mature, (iii) makes a general assignment for the benefit of its or any of its creditors, (iv) is dissolved or liquidated, (v) commences a voluntary case or other proceeding seeking liquidation, reorganization or other relief with respect to itself or its debts under any bankruptcy, insolvency or other similar law now or hereafter in effect or consents to any such relief or to the appointment of or taking possession of its property by any official in an involuntary case or other proceeding commenced against it.

 

(d)                Breach of Purchase Agreement. Any breach of or default under the Purchase Agreement that remains uncured for ten (10) days after written notice from the Lead Purchaser.

 

7.                   Rights of Holder upon Default. Upon the occurrence or existence of any Event of Default (other than an Event of Default referred to in Sections 6(b) and 6(c)) and at any time thereafter during the continuance of such Event of Default, Holder may, by written notice to Maker and with the prior written consent of the Lead Purchaser, declare the outstanding Principal Balance, together with accrued interest, to be immediately due and payable without presentment, demand, protest or any other notice of any kind, all of which are hereby expressly waived. Upon the occurrence or existence of any Event of Default described in Sections 6(b) and 6(c), immediately and without notice, the outstanding Principal Balance, together with accrued interest, shall automatically become immediately due and payable, without presentment, demand, protest or any other notice of any kind, all of which are hereby expressly waived. In addition to the foregoing remedies, upon the occurrence or existence of any Event of Default and at any time thereafter during the continuance of such Event of Default, Holder may, with the prior written consent of the Lead Purchaser, exercise any other right, power or remedy, either by suit in equity or by action at law, or both. All of the rights, powers and remedies of Holder shall be cumulative, and may be exercised independently, concurrently or successively in Holder’s sole discretion. No waiver by Holder of any default shall operate as a waiver of any other default or of the same default on a future occasion. No delay or omission on the part of Holder in exercising any right or remedy shall operate as a waiver thereof and no single or partial exercise by Holder of any right or remedy shall preclude any other or future exercise thereof or the exercise of any other right or remedy.

8.                   Conversion.

 

(a)              Mandatory Conversion Upon Qualified Financing Closing. If any and all amounts due hereunder are not paid in full on or before the Qualified Financing Closing, concurrently with the Qualified Financing Closing and subject to the terms and conditions set forth herein, the entire Principal Balance of this Note, together with any accrued and unpaid interest thereon, shall automatically convert into fully paid and non-assessable shares (rounded up to the nearest whole share) of the series of preferred stock of Maker issued pursuant to such Qualified Financing (the “New Securities”), such conversion in each case to occur concurrently with the Qualified Financing Closing. The number of shares of New Securities to be issued to Holder upon conversion of this Note pursuant to a Qualified Financing shall be equal to the product of (x) the Conversion Multiple and (y) the quotient obtained by dividing the entire Principal Balance of this Note, together with any accrued and unpaid interest thereon, as of the date of conversion, by the Conversion Price. The “Conversion Multiple” shall be equal to one (1), provided, that upon the occurrence of a Purchaser Subscription Default with respect to the Holder, the Conversion Multiple under this Note shall be automatically reduced to one-half (0.5) and instead of converting into the shares of New Securities in connection with such Qualified Financing, the Note shall convert into shares of Common Stock. The “Conversion Price” shall be equal to the lesser of (i) the price per share paid by the investors in such Qualified Financing for such New Securities (which are purchased for cash and not through conversion of Notes) and (ii) the price per share obtained by dividing (x) $3,000,000 by (y) the number of Fully-Diluted Shares outstanding immediately prior to the Qualified Financing Closing. “Fully-Diluted Shares” means all outstanding shares of capital stock of the Maker, assuming (A) the conversion of all convertible preferred stock and the conversion or exercise of warrants, options and all other securities convertible into or exercisable for shares of capital stock in the Maker (other than the Notes) regardless of whether such convertible securities are “in the money”, and (B) the issuance of all shares of capital stock reserved for issuance under any equity plan of the Maker, including any additional stock reserved in connection with the Qualified Financing. The issuance of any New Securities pursuant to the conversion of the Note in connection with the Qualified Financing shall be upon and subject to the same terms and conditions applicable to the New Securities sold in the Qualified Financing.

 

(b)                Conversion or Repayment Upon a Sale of the Company.

 

(i)            In the event of a Sale of the Company prior to the Qualified Financing Closing or the Maturity Date, the Holder shall be entitled, at the election of the Holder, either (A) to receive payment of the outstanding Principal Balance of, together with any accrued and unpaid interest thereon, this Note as of the initial closing of the Sale of the Company, in such form of consideration as is paid to the Maker’s shareholders in such Sale of the Company, or (B) to convert the outstanding Principal Balance together with any accrued and unpaid interest thereon, immediately prior to the closing of the Sale of the Company, into the number of shares of the Company’s Series D Preferred Stock, par value $0.001 per share (the “Series D Preferred Stock”) as is equal to the product of (x) two (2) and (y) the quotient obtained by dividing the outstanding Principal Balance and unpaid interest on this Note as of the date of conversion by the Sale Conversion Price. “Sale Conversion Price” means a price per share equal to the lesser of (x) 75% of the gross per-share consideration a holder of Series D Preferred Stock (excluding for purposes of this calculation any holders receiving shares of Series D Preferred Stock upon conversion of their Notes immediately prior to such Sale of the Company event) receives or is deemed to have received with respect to each such share of Shares D Preferred Stock in such Sale of the Company (assuming the Series D Preferred Stock did not convert into shares of Common Stock in connection with such Sale of the Company) and (y) the price per share obtained by dividing (I) $3,000,000 by (II) the number of Fully-Diluted Shares outstanding immediately prior to the closing of the Sale of the Company, such conversion in each case to occur (or be given effect) immediately prior to the closing of such Sale of the Company.

 

3

 

(ii)            Maker shall give Holder written notice of any Sale of the Company at least ten (10) days prior to the anticipated closing date thereof, and Holder shall give Maker written notice of their election in accordance with the foregoing at least five (5) days prior to such anticipated closing date. Holder acknowledges and agrees that the conversion of the Notes in connection with a Sale of the Company may be conditioned upon Holder’s execution of certain agreements and consents in the form agreed to by Maker and the acquiring party in the Sale of the Company including, without limitation, representations, warranties, escrows and indemnifications, if any, relating to the Conversion Shares issued upon conversion of the Notes.

 

(c)                Optional Conversion. If a Qualified Financing Closing does not take place on or prior to the Maturity Date, at any time on or after the Maturity Date, at the election of the Lead Purchaser, this Note together with all other Notes shall be converted into the number of shares of Series D Preferred Stock of the Company as is equal to the quotient obtained by dividing the outstanding Principal Balance and unpaid interest on this Note as of the date of conversion by the product of (x) 50 and (y) the quotient obtained by dividing (A) $3,000,000 by (B) the number of Fully-Diluted Shares outstanding immediately prior to the date of such conversion (subject to adjustments for stock dividends, splits, combinations and similar events).

 

(d)                Conversion Procedure. Upon the conversion of this Note, the Principal Balance, together with any accrued and unpaid interest thereon, shall be converted into Conversion Shares, shares of Common Stock or shares of Series D Preferred Stock, as applicable, in each case held by the Holder. The Company will not be required to issue or deliver the Conversion Shares, shares of Common Stock or shares of Series D Preferred Stock, as applicable, until the Holder has surrendered this Note to the Company (or provided an instrument of cancellation or affidavit of lost note). Upon a conversion under Section 8(a) or 8(c), Maker shall, within five (5) Business Days after such delivery, or such agreement and indemnification, issue and deliver certificates representing the number of fully paid and non-assessable shares of the New Securities, shares of Common Stock or Series D Preferred Stock, as applicable, into which the Note converts in accordance with the agreed conversion terms (bearing such legends as are required by the Purchase Agreement). Maker shall take all action to designate and authorize a sufficient number of shares of stock to be issued upon conversion to the New Securities, shares of Common Stock or Series D Preferred Stock, as applicable, following a conversion pursuant to this Section 8.

 

(e)              Joinder to Investment Documents. If this Note is converted into any shares of equity securities, Maker will prepare any joinder or amendment to any applicable Existing Investment Documents as necessary or appropriate to expressly include Holder and its shares of equity securities received upon such conversion as an investor under such document(s) (with such adjustments and limitations as may apply for such equity securities of that type and due to the amount of Holder’s stock ownership), and Holder and Maker will execute same.

 

(f)                 Effect of Conversion. Upon conversion of this Note in full, Maker shall be forever released from all its obligations and liabilities under this Note and the Note shall be deemed to be cancelled as of such time and any collateral of the Company pledged under the Security Agreement shall be released.

 

9.                 Pari Passu Notes. Holder acknowledges and agrees that the payment of all or any portion of the outstanding Principal Balance of this Note and all interest hereon shall be pari passu in right of payment and in all other respects to the other convertible promissory note(s) issued pursuant to the Purchase Agreement or pursuant to the terms of such notes. Maker shall make any payments under this Note and such other notes pro rata among the Holders of such notes based on the respective principal balances (together with any accrued and unpaid interest thereon) outstanding under them at the time of payment.

 

4

 

10.               Successors and Assigns. Subject to the restrictions on transfer described in Sections 12 and 13 below, the rights and obligations of Maker and Holder shall be binding upon and benefit the successors, assigns, heirs, administrators and transferees of the parties.

 

11.             Waiver and Amendment. Any term, covenant, agreement or condition of this Note may be amended, and compliance therewith may be waived (either generally or in a particular circumstance and either retroactively or prospectively), in the manner specified in Section 8.12 of the Purchase Agreement. Any amendment or waiver in accordance with this Section 11 will be binding upon each of Maker, Holder, and any subsequent holder of this Note.

 

12.               Transfer of this Note by Holder. Holder may not assign, pledge, or otherwise transfer this Note without the prior written consent of Maker and the Lead Purchaser, except that Holder may assign this Note and its rights hereunder to any Affiliate of Holder; provided that Maker is given written notice at the time of such assignment stating the name and address of the assignee and such assignee agrees in writing to be bound by the terms of this Note, the Purchase Agreement and the other Transaction Documents. Subject to the foregoing, this Note may be transferred only upon compliance with the securities law restrictions set forth in this Note, the Purchase Agreement and the other Transaction Documents, the surrender of the original Note for registration of transfer, duly endorsed, or accompanied by a duly executed written instrument of transfer in form satisfactory to Maker and its counsel. Thereupon, a new note for the same Principal Balance and interest will be issued to, and registered in the name of, the assignee. Interest and Principal Balance amounts are payable only to the registered holder of this Note.

 

13.               Assignment by Maker. Neither this Note nor any of the rights, interests or obligations hereunder may be assigned, by operation of law or otherwise, in whole or in part, by Maker without the prior written consent of Holder.

 

14.               Notices. All notices, requests, demands, consents, instructions or other communications required or permitted hereunder shall be made and effective as set forth in the Purchase Agreement.

 

15.               Payment. All payments of Principal Balance, interest and any other amounts (other than by conversion) shall be made in lawful money of the United States of America and in immediately available funds at such place as Holder may from time to time designate in writing to Maker. Payment shall be credited first to Holder expenses, second to accrued interest then due and payable, if any, and then the remainder applied to the Principal Balance. All payments by the Maker under this Note shall be made without set-off or counterclaim and be free and clear and without any deduction or withholding for any taxes or fees of any nature whatsoever, unless the obligation to make such deduction or withholding is imposed by law. The Maker shall pay and save Holder harmless from all liabilities with respect to or resulting from any delay or omission to make any such deduction or withholding required by law.

 

16.               Usury; Default Interest. During any period in which an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, the Maker shall pay interest on the unpaid Principal Balance of this Note at a rate per annum equal to the rate otherwise applicable hereunder plus 6%. In the event any interest is paid on this Note which is deemed to be in excess of the then legal maximum rate, then that portion of the interest payment representing an amount in excess of the then legal maximum rate shall be deemed a payment of Principal Balance and applied against the Principal Balance of this Note.

 

17.               Coordinated Action. Holder may not institute any action to collect this Note or any other action with respect to this Note or the obligations hereunder without the prior written consent of the Lead Purchaser, as Agent for all Holders. In connection therewith, the provisions of Section 7 of the Purchase Agreement will apply, mutatis mutandis, with respect to any action taken by the Agent on behalf of all Holders. The Lead Purchaser, or any successor Agent, shall be an express third party beneficiary of the provisions of this Section 17.

 

5

 

18.               Prevailing Party. In any action at law or in equity to enforce or construe any provisions or rights under this Note, the non-prevailing party to such litigation, as determined by a court pursuant to a final order, judgment or decree, shall pay to the prevailing party all costs, expenses and reasonable attorneys’ fees incurred by such prevailing party (including, without limitation, such costs, expenses and fees on any appeal), which costs, expenses and attorneys’ fees shall be included as part of any order, judgment or decree.

 

19.               Loss of Note. Upon receipt by Maker of evidence satisfactory to it of the loss, theft, destruction or mutilation of this Note or any Note exchanged for it, and indemnity satisfactory to the Maker (in case of loss, theft or destruction) or surrender and cancellation of such Note (in the case of mutilation), Maker will (at Holder’s expense) make and deliver in lieu of such Note a new Note of like tenor.

 

20.               Saturdays, Sundays, Holidays. If any date that may at any time be specified in this Note as a date for the making of any payment of principal or interest under this Note shall fall on Saturday, Sunday or legal holiday in the State of Florida, then the date for the making of that payment shall be the next subsequent day which is not a Saturday, Sunday, or legal holiday.

 

21.               Governing Law; Jurisdiction and Venue. The provisions of Sections 8.4 and 8.5 of the Purchase Agreement will apply, mutatis mutandis, with respect to any dispute arising out of this Note.

 

22.               Waiver of Jury Trial. EACH PARTY WAIVES, TO THE FULLEST EXTENT PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE LAW, ANY RIGHT IT MAY HAVE TO A TRIAL BY JURY IN RESPECT OF ANY SUIT, ACTION OR PROCEEDING DIRECTLY OR INDIRECTLY ARISING OUT OF, UNDER OR IN CONNECTION WITH THIS NOTE.

 

23.               No Rights as a Stockholder. Nothing contained in this Note shall be construed as conferring upon Holder, prior to the conversion of this Note, any rights of a shareholder of Maker, including the right to vote or to receive dividends, solely as it relates to this Note.

 

24.               Time is of the Essence. Time is of the essence with respect to the payment and performance of the obligations of this Note.

 

25.               Acceptance of Note. By acceptance of this Note, the Holder accepts and agrees to be bound by all of the terms and provisions set forth herein.

 

26.             Documentary Stamp Taxes. MAKER SHALL BE LIABLE FOR DOCUMENTARY STAMP TAXES AND ANY PENALTIES AND INTEREST ASSOCIATED WITH THAT TAX PAYABLE WITH RESPECT TO THIS NOTE, AND ANY SUBSEQUENT RENEWALS, MODIFICATIONS OR AMENDMENTS OF THIS NOTE.

2.                  Exercise Period. Subject to the terms and conditions set forth herein, this Warrant may be exercised at any time or from time to time during the period commencing on Exercise Period Commencement Time and ending at the earlier to occur of (a) 5:00 p.m. (New York City time) on the tenth (10th) anniversary of the Exercise Period Commencement Date and (b) 5:00 p.m. (New York City time) on the day immediately prior to the occurrence of a Purchaser Subscription Default with respect to the Holder (the “Exercise Period”).

 

3.                  Procedure for Exercise; Effect of Exercise.

 

(a)               Cash Exercise. This Warrant may be exercised, in whole or in part, by the Holder during normal business hours on any business day during the Exercise Period by (i) the presentation and surrender of this Warrant to the Company at its principal office (or such other office or agency of the Company as it may designate by notice in writing to the Holder at the address of the Holder appearing on the books of the Company) along with a duly executed Notice of Exercise (in the form attached hereto) specifying the number of Warrant Shares to be purchased, and (ii) delivery of payment to the Company of the Exercise Price for the number of Warrant Shares specified in the Notice of Exercise by cash, wire transfer of immediately available funds to a bank account specified by the Company, or by certified or bank cashier’s check.

 

(b)               Cashless Exercise. If the Warrant has been outstanding for six (6) months and there is no effective registration statement including the Warrant Shares, this Warrant may also be exercised by the Holder through a cashless exercise, as described in this Section 3(b). In such case, this Warrant may be exercised, in whole or in part, by the Holder during normal business hours on any business day during the Exercise Period by the presentation and surrender of this Warrant to the Company at its principal office (or such other office or agency of the Company as it may designate by notice in writing to the Holder at the address of the Holder appearing on the books of the Company) along with a duly executed Notice of Exercise specifying the number of Warrant Shares to be applied to such exercise. The number of shares of Common Stock to be issued upon exercise of this Warrant pursuant to this Section 3(b) shall equal the value of this Warrant (or the portion thereof being canceled) computed as of the date of delivery of this Warrant to the Company using the following formula:

 

 

X =  Y(A-B)

             A

Where:

 

  X  =  the number of shares of Common Stock to be issued to Holder under this Section 3(b);
  Y  =  the number of Warrant Shares identified in the Notice of Exercise as being applied to the subject exercise;
  A  =  the Current Market Price on such date; and
  B  =  the Exercise Price on such date.

 

3

 

For purposes of this Section 3(b), Current Market Price shall have the definition provided in Section 7(g).

 

The Company acknowledges and agrees that this Warrant was issued on the date set forth at the end of this Warrant. Consequently, the Company acknowledges and agrees that, if the Holder conducts a cashless exercise pursuant to this Section 3(b), the period during which the Holder held this Warrant may, for purposes of Rule 144 promulgated under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”), be “tacked” to the period during which the Holder holds the Warrant Shares received upon such cashless exercise.

 

(c)               Effect of Exercise. Upon receipt by the Company of this Warrant and a Notice of Exercise, together with proper payment of the Exercise Price, as provided in this Section 3, the Company agrees that such Warrant Shares shall be deemed to be issued to the Holder as the record holder of such Warrant Shares as of the close of business on the date on which this Warrant has been surrendered and payment has been made for such Warrant Shares in accordance with this Warrant and the Holder shall be deemed to be the holder of record of the Warrant Shares, notwithstanding that the stock transfer books of the Company shall then be closed or that certificates representing such Warrant Shares shall not then be actually delivered to the Holder. A stock certificate or certificates for the Warrant Shares specified in the Notice of Exercise shall be delivered to the Holder as promptly as practicable, and in any event within seven (7) business days, thereafter. The stock certificate(s) so delivered shall be in any such denominations as may be reasonably specified by the Holder in the Notice of Exercise. If this Warrant should be exercised in part only, the Company shall, upon surrender of this Warrant for cancellation, execute and deliver a new Warrant evidencing the right of the Holder to purchase the balance of the Warrant Shares subject to purchase hereunder.

 

4.                  Registration of Warrants; Transfer of Warrants. Any Warrants issued upon the transfer or exercise in part of this Warrant shall be numbered and shall be registered in a Warrant Register as they are issued. The Company shall be entitled to treat the registered holder of any Warrant on the Warrant Register as the owner in fact thereof for all purposes and shall not be bound to recognize any equitable or other claim to or interest in such Warrant on the part of any other person, and shall not be liable for any registration or transfer of Warrants which are registered or to be registered in the name of a fiduciary or the nominee of a fiduciary unless made with the actual knowledge that a fiduciary or nominee is committing a breach of trust in requesting such registration or transfer, or with the knowledge of such facts that its participation therein amounts to bad faith. This Warrant shall be transferable only on the books of the Company upon delivery thereof duly endorsed by the Holder or by its duly authorized attorney or representative, or accompanied by proper evidence of succession, assignment, or authority to transfer. In all cases of transfer by an attorney, executor, administrator, guardian, or other legal representative, duly authenticated evidence of his or its authority shall be produced. Upon any registration of transfer, the Company shall deliver a new Warrant or Warrants to the person entitled thereto. This Warrant may be exchanged, at the option of the Holder thereof, for another Warrant, or other Warrants of different denominations, of like tenor and representing in the aggregate the right to purchase a like number of Warrant Shares, upon surrender to the Company or its duly authorized agent.

5.                  Restrictions on Transfer.

 

(a)               The Holder, as of the date of issuance hereof, represents to the Company that such Holder is acquiring the Warrants for its own account for investment purposes and not with a view to the distribution thereof or of the Warrant Shares. Notwithstanding any provisions contained in this Warrant to the contrary, this Warrant and the related Warrant Shares shall not be transferable except pursuant to the proviso contained in the following sentence or upon the conditions specified in this Section 4, which conditions are intended, among other things, to insure compliance with the provisions of the Securities Act and applicable state law in respect of the transfer of this Warrant or such Warrant Shares. The Holder by acceptance of this Warrant agrees that the Holder will not transfer this Warrant or the related Warrant Shares prior to delivery to the Company of an opinion of the Holder’s counsel (as such opinion and such counsel are described in Section 5(b) hereof) or until registration of such Warrant Shares under the Securities Act has become effective or after a sale of such Warrant or Warrant Shares has been consummated pursuant to Rule 144 or Rule 144A under the Securities Act; provided, however, that the Holder may freely transfer this Warrant or such Warrant Shares (without delivery to the Company of an opinion of counsel) (i) to one of its nominees, affiliates or a nominee thereof, (ii) to a pension or profit-sharing fund established and maintained for its employees or for the employees of any affiliate, (iii) from a nominee to any of the aforementioned persons as beneficial owner of this Warrant or such Warrant Shares, (iv) to a qualified institutional buyer, so long as such transfer is effected in compliance with Rule 144A under the Securities Act, or (v) to an accredited investor (as such term is defined in Regulation D under the Securities Act).

 

(b)               The Holder, by its acceptance hereof, agrees that prior to any transfer of this Warrant or of the related Warrant Shares (other than as permitted by Section 5(a) hereof or pursuant to a registration under the Securities Act), the Holder will give written notice to the Company of its intention to effect such transfer, together with an opinion of such counsel for the Holder as shall be reasonably acceptable to the Company, to the effect that the proposed transfer of this Warrant and/or such Warrant Shares may be effected without registration under the Securities Act. Upon delivery of such notice and opinion to the Company, the Holder shall be entitled to transfer this Warrant and/or such Warrant Shares in accordance with the intended method of disposition specified in the notice to the Company.

 

(c)               Each stock certificate representing Warrant Shares issued upon exercise or exchange of this Warrant and any other securities issued in respect of the Warrant Shares upon any stock split, stock dividend, recapitalization, merger, consolidation or similar event, shall bear the following legend (unless the opinion of counsel referred to in Section 5(b) states such legend is not required) in addition to any other agreement to which the Holder is subject:

 

“THIS SECURITY HAS NOT BEEN REGISTERED WITH THE SECURITIES AND EXCHANGE COMMISSION OR THE SECURITIES COMMISSION OF ANY STATE IN RELIANCE UPON AN EXEMPTION FROM REGISTRATION UNDER THE SECURITIES ACT OF 1933, AS AMENDED (THE “SECURITIES ACT”), AND, ACCORDINGLY, MAY NOT BE OFFERED OR SOLD EXCEPT PURSUANT TO AN EFFECTIVE REGISTRATION STATEMENT UNDER THE SECURITIES ACT OR PURSUANT TO AN AVAILABLE EXEMPTION FROM, OR IN A TRANSACTION NOT SUBJECT TO, THE REGISTRATION REQUIREMENTS OF THE SECURITIES ACT AND IN ACCORDANCE WITH APPLICABLE STATE SECURITIES LAWS. THIS SECURITY MAY BE PLEDGED IN CONNECTION WITH A BONA FIDE MARGIN ACCOUNT WITH A REGISTERED BROKER-DEALER OR OTHER LOAN WITH A FINANCIAL INSTITUTION THAT IS AN “ACCREDITED INVESTOR” AS DEFINED IN RULE 501(a) UNDER THE SECURITIES ACT OR OTHER LOAN SECURED BY SUCH SECURITIES.”

 

5

 

The Holder understands that the Company may place, and may instruct any transfer agent or depository for the Warrant Shares to place, a stop transfer notation in the securities records in respect of the Warrant Shares.

 

6.                  Reservation of Shares. The Company shall at all times during the Exercise Period reserve and keep available out of its authorized and unissued Common Stock, solely for the purpose of providing for the exercise of the rights to purchase all Warrant Shares granted pursuant to the Warrants, such number of shares of Common Stock as shall, from time to time, be sufficient therefor. The Company covenants that all shares of Common Stock issuable upon exercise of this Warrant, upon receipt by the Company of the full Exercise Price therefor, and all shares of Common Stock issuable upon conversion of this Warrant, shall be validly issued, fully paid, non-assessable, and free of preemptive rights, and free from all taxes, claims, liens, charges and other encumbrances.

 

7.                  Certain Adjustments.

 

(a)               The Exercise Price shall be subject to adjustment from time to time as follows:

 

(i)                 In the event that the Company shall (A) pay a dividend or make a distribution to all its stockholders, in shares of Common Stock, on any class of capital stock of the Company or any subsidiary which is not directly or indirectly wholly owned by the Company, (B) split or subdivide its outstanding Common Stock into a greater number of shares, or (C) combine its outstanding Common Stock into a smaller number of shares, then in each such case the Exercise Price in effect immediately prior thereto shall be adjusted so that the Holder of a Warrant thereafter surrendered for Exercise shall be entitled to receive the number of shares of Common Stock that such Holder would have owned or have been entitled to receive after the occurrence of any of the events described above had such Warrant been exercised immediately prior to the occurrence of such event. An adjustment made pursuant to this Section 7(a)(i) shall become effective immediately after the close of business on the record date in the case of a dividend or distribution (except as provided in Section 7(e) below) and shall become effective immediately after the close of business on the effective date in the case of such subdivision, split or combination, as the case may be. Any shares of Common Stock issuable in payment of a dividend shall be deemed to have been issued immediately prior to the close of business on the record date for such dividend for purposes of calculating the number of outstanding shares of Common Stock under clauses (c) and (d) below.

 

(ii)              No adjustment in the Exercise Price shall be required unless the adjustment would require an increase or decrease of at least 1% in the Exercise Price then in effect; provided, however, that any adjustments that by reason of this Section 7(a) are not required to be made shall be carried forward and taken into account in any subsequent adjustment. All calculations under this Section 7(a) shall be made to the nearest cent or nearest 1/100th of a share.

 

6

 

(iii)            The Company from time to time may reduce the Exercise Price by any amount for any period of time in the discretion of the Board of Directors. A voluntary reduction of the Exercise Price does not change or adjust the Exercise Price otherwise in effect for purposes of this Section 7(a).

 

(iv)             In the event that, at any time as a result of an adjustment made pursuant to Section 7(a)(i) or 7(a)(ii) above, the Holder of any Warrant thereafter surrendered for exercise shall become entitled to receive any shares of the Company other than shares of the Common Stock, thereafter the number of such other shares so receivable upon exercise of any such Warrant shall be subject to adjustment from time to time in a manner and on terms as nearly equivalent as practicable to the provisions with respect to the Common Stock contained in Section 7(a)(i) or 7(a)(ii) above, and the other provisions of this Section 7(a) with respect to the Common Stock shall apply on like terms to any such other shares.

 

(b)               In case of any reclassification of the Common Stock (other than in a transaction to which Section 7(a)(i) applies), any consolidation of the Company with, or merger of the Company into, any other entity, any merger of another entity into the Company (other than a merger that does not result in any reclassification, conversion, exchange or cancellation of outstanding shares of Common Stock of the Company), any sale or transfer of all or substantially all of the assets of the Company or any compulsory share exchange, pursuant to which share exchange the Common Stock is converted into other securities, cash or other property, then lawful provision shall be made as part of the terms of such transaction whereby the Holder of a Warrant then outstanding shall have the right thereafter, during the period such Warrant shall be exercisable, to exercise such Warrant only for the kind and amount of securities, cash and other property receivable upon the reclassification, consolidation, merger, sale, transfer or share exchange by a holder of the number of shares of Common Stock of the Company into which a Warrant might have been able to exercise for immediately prior to the reclassification, consolidation, merger, sale, transfer or share exchange assuming that such holder of Common Stock failed to exercise rights of election, if any, as to the kind or amount of securities, cash or other property receivable upon consummation of such transaction subject to adjustment as provided in Section 7(a) above following the date of consummation of such transaction. The provisions of this Section 7(b) shall similarly apply to successive reclassifications, consolidations, mergers, sales, transfers or share exchanges.

 

(c)               If (i) the Company shall take any action which would require an adjustment in the Exercise Price pursuant to Section 7(a); (ii) the Company shall authorize the granting to the holders of its Common Stock generally of rights, warrants or options to subscribe for or purchase any shares of any class or any other rights, warrants or options; (iii) there shall be any reclassification or change of the Common Stock (other than a subdivision or combination of its outstanding Common Stock or a change in par value) or any consolidation, merger or statutory share exchange to which the Company is a party and for which approval of any stockholders of the Company is required, or the sale or transfer of all or substantially all of the assets of the Company; or (iv) there shall be a voluntary or involuntary dissolution, liquidation or winding up of the Company; then, in each such case, the Company shall cause to be filed with the transfer agent for the Warrants and shall cause to be mailed to each Holder at such Holder’s address as shown on the books of the transfer agent for the Warrants, as promptly as possible, but at least 30 days prior to the applicable date hereinafter specified, a notice stating (A) the date on which a record is to be taken for the purpose of such dividend, distribution or granting of rights, warrants or options, or, if a record is not to be taken, the date as of which the holders of Common Stock of record to be entitled to such dividend, distribution or rights, warrants or options are to be determined, or (B) the date on which such reclassification, change, consolidation, merger, statutory share exchange, sale, transfer, dissolution, liquidation or winding-up is expected to become effective or occur, and the date as of which it is expected that holders of Common Stock of record shall be entitled to exchange their shares of Common Stock for securities or other property deliverable upon such reclassification, change, consolidation, merger, statutory share exchange, sale, transfer, dissolution, liquidation or winding up. Failure to give such notice or any defect therein shall not affect the legality or validity of the proceedings described in this Section 7(c).

 

7

 

(d)               Whenever the Exercise Price is adjusted as herein provided, the Company shall promptly file with the transfer agent for the Warrants a certificate of an officer of the Company setting forth the Exercise Price after the adjustment and setting forth a brief statement of the facts requiring such adjustment and a computation thereof. The Company shall promptly cause a notice of the adjusted Exercise Price to be mailed to each Holder.

 

(e)               In any case in which Section 7(a) provides that an adjustment shall become effective immediately after a record date for an event and the date fixed for such adjustment pursuant to Section 7(a) occurs after such record date but before the occurrence of such event, the Company may defer until the actual occurrence of such event (i) issuing to the Holder of any Warrants exercised after such record date and before the occurrence of such event the additional shares of Common Stock issuable upon such conversion by reason of the adjustment required by such event over and above the Common Stock issuable upon such exercise before giving effect to such adjustment, and (ii) paying to such holder any amount in cash in lieu of any fraction pursuant to Section 7(h).

 

(f)                In case the Company shall take any action affecting the Common Stock, other than actions described in this Section 7, which in the opinion of the Board of Directors would materially adversely affect the exercise right of the Holders, the Exercise Price may be adjusted, to the extent permitted by law, in such manner, if any, and at such time, as the Board of Directors may determine to be equitable in the circumstances; provided, however, that in no event shall the Board of Directors be required to take any such action.

 

(g)               For the purpose of any computation under Section 3(b) or this Section 7, the “Current Market Price” per share of Common Stock shall mean the VWAP of the Common Stock on the day in question.

 

(h)               The Company shall not be required to issue fractions of shares of Common Stock or other capital stock of the Company upon the exercise of this Warrant. If any fraction of a share would be issuable on the exercise of this Warrant (or specified portions thereof), the Company shall purchase such fraction for an amount in cash equal to the same fraction of the Current Market Price of such share of Common Stock on the date of exercise of this Warrant.

 

8

 

8.                  Transfer Taxes. The issuance of any shares or other securities upon the exercise of this Warrant, and the delivery of certificates or other instruments representing such shares or other securities, shall be made without charge to the Holder for any tax or other charge in respect of such issuance. The Company shall not, however, be required to pay any tax which may be payable in respect of any transfer involved in the issue and delivery of any certificate in a name other than that of the Holder and the Company shall not be required to issue or deliver any such certificate unless and until the person or persons requesting the issue thereof shall have paid to the Company the amount of such tax or shall have established to the satisfaction of the Company that such tax has been paid.

 

9.                  Loss or Mutilation of Warrant. Upon receipt of evidence reasonably satisfactory to the Company of the loss, theft, destruction, or mutilation of any Warrant (and upon surrender of any Warrant if mutilated), and upon reimbursement of the Company’s reasonable incidental expenses, the Company shall execute and deliver to the Holder thereof a new Warrant of like date, tenor, and denomination in lieu of the lost, stolen, destroyed or mutilated Warrant or stock certificate provided, however, that, if the Company’s stock is publicly traded, the Company may require the posting of a bond in an amount and nature as is customary and reasonable given the circumstances.

 

10.              No Rights as a Stockholder. The Holder of any Warrant shall not have, solely on account of such status, any rights of a stockholder of the Company, either at law or in equity, or to any notice of meetings of stockholders or of any other proceedings of the Company, except as provided in this Warrant.

 

11.              Stockholder Agreements. This Warrant and the Warrant Shares exercisable hereunder are subject to the terms of each of those certain Investors’ Rights Agreement, Right of First Refusal Agreement and Voting Agreement, as each may be amended or restated from time to time, each dated November 15, 2019 (collectively, and as the same may hereafter be amended, the “Stockholder Agreements”). In the event that Holder is not already a party to each of the Stockholder Agreements, as a condition precedent to the Company’s issuance of any of the Warrant Shares exercisable hereunder, Holder shall execute an adoption agreement in a form acceptable to the Company providing that Holder become a party as an “Investor” to each of the Stockholder Agreements.

 

12.              Governing Law. All questions concerning the construction, validity, enforcement and interpretation of this Warrant shall be governed by and construed and enforced in accordance with the internal laws of the State of Nevada, without regard to the principles of conflicts of law thereof.

 

13.              Notices. All notices and other communications hereunder shall be in writing and shall be deemed given if delivered personally, by commercial delivery service, mailed by registered or certified mail (return receipt requested), sent via facsimile (with confirmation of receipt) or electronic mail to the parties at the address for each party, as set forth in the introductory paragraph with respect to the Holder and in the case of the Company, at 201 E. Kennedy Blvd, Suite 700, Tampa, Florida 33602.

 

9

 

14.              Purchaser Subscription Default. For the avoidance of doubt, this Warrant shall terminate immediately upon the occurrence of a Purchaser Subscription Default with respect to the Holder and any Warrants Shares issued by the Company on, prior to or following the occurrence of such a Purchaser Subscription Default with respect to the Holder shall be null and void, ab initio, without further action or notice.

 

15.              Acceptance of Warrant. By acceptance of this Warrant, the Holder accepts and agrees to be bound by all of the terms and provisions set forth herein.
