CONVERTIBLE BOND

 

AMOUNT: $1,000,000DATE: August 10th, 2023

 

FOR VALUE RECEIVED, Prototype Group, Inc., a Delaware corporation (the “Company”), promises to pay to the order of K Enter Holdings Inc., a Delaware corporation, or its permitted assigns (collectively, the “Holder”), the principal amount set forth above plus simple interest at a fixed rate equal to the Applicable Federal Rate (as defined in the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended) for short term loans as of the date hereof until this convertible bond (this “Bond”) is paid in full. Interest shall be calculated on the basis of actual number of days elapsed over a year of 365 days and shall accrue from the date of this Bond. Notwithstanding any other provision of this Bond, the Holder hereof does not intend to charge and the Company shall not be required to pay any interest or other fees or charges in excess of the maximum permitted by applicable law; any payments in excess of such maximum shall be refunded to the Company or credited to reduce principal hereunder. All payments received by the Holder hereunder will be applied first to costs of collection, if any, then to interest and the balance to principal.

 

Unless converted pursuant to the provisions hereof, payments of principal and interest will be made by: (i) check in immediately available United States funds sent to the Holder at the address furnished to the Company for that purpose; or (ii) wire transfer of immediately available funds to such bank account as the Holder may specify to the Company in writing.

 

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

 

1. Maturity Date. Unless earlier repaid or converted, the principal and accrued interest on this Bond shall be due and payable upon demand of the Holder on or after the one-year anniversary of the date of this Bond (the “Maturity Date”).

 

2. Prepayment. The Company may, with the written consent of the Holder, repay all or any amount owed under this Bond at any time without premium or penalty prior to the conversion of this Bond pursuant to the provisions hereof.

 

 

 

 

3. Bond Conversion.

 

3.1. General.

 

3.1.1 Voluntary Conversion. Holder has the right, at Holder’s option, at any time prior to payment in full of the principal amount and all accrued interest of this Bond, to convert the outstanding principal amount and all accrued and unpaid interest of this Bond into such number of shares of common stock of the Company (the “Common Shares”) equal to the entire unpaid principal amount of this Bond and all accrued unpaid interest thereon, divided by a conversion price per share equal to $7.40 per share in case the pre-money valuation of the Company shall meet or exceed USD 94.8 million, and in case the pre-money valuation of the Company shall be below USD 94.8 million, the conversion price per share shall be proportionally reduced (the “Conversion Price”). Notwithstanding any provision of this Bond to the contrary, with respect to a Change of Control (as defined below), the Conversion Price means the price to be paid per share by the parties purchasing or exchanging shares of the Company.

 

3.1.2 Conversion at Maturity. If this Bond is not earlier repaid in accordance with Section 2 or converted in accordance with Section 3.1.1 and the Company issues and sells shares of its Equity Securities (defined below) to venture capital, institutional or other investors on or before the Maturity Date in an equity financing resulting in gross proceeds to the Company of at least USD 10,000,000 (whether in a single or multiple closings, and excluding the conversion of this Bond) (a “Qualified Transaction”), then at any time on or after the Maturity Date, the Company shall have the option to (a) repay all outstanding principal and accrued unpaid interest of the Bond or (b) convert all or any portion of the outstanding principal and accrued unpaid interest into such number of Common Shares equal to the principal amount and all accrued unpaid interest thereon to be converted hereunder divided by the Conversion Price. “Equity Securities” means the Company’s capital stock or any securities conferring the right to purchase the Company’s capital stock or securities convertible into, or exchangeable for (with or without additional consideration), the Company’s capital stock.

 

3.2. Conversion Procedure.

 

3.2.1 Notice of Conversion.

 

a) In connection with exercise of Holder’s option to convert this Bond in accordance with Section 3.1.1, Holder shall deliver written notice to the Company notifying the Company of the conversion elected to be effected by the Holder, specifying the principal amount of the Bond and accrued interest thereon to be converted, and the date on which such conversion will occur.

 

b) In connection with exercise of the Company’s option to convert this Bond in accordance with Section 3.1.2, the Company shall deliver written notice to the Holder notifying the Holder of the conversion elected to be effected by the Company, specifying the principal amount of the Bond and accrued interest thereon to be converted, and the date on which such conversion will occur.

3.2.2 Mechanics and Effect of Conversion. No fractional shares of the Company’s capital stock shall be issued upon conversion of this Bond. In lieu of the Company issuing any fractional shares to the Holder upon the conversion of this Bond, the Company shall pay to the Holder in cash the amount of outstanding principal and accrued interest that is not so converted. Upon the conversion of this Bond pursuant to Section 3.1 above, the Holder shall surrender this Bond, duly endorsed, at the principal office of the Company. At its expense, the Company shall, as soon as practicable thereafter, issue and deliver to the Holder at the Holder’s address or if no such address appears or is given, at such principal office of the Company, a certificate or certificates for the number of shares of the Company’s Common Shares to which the Holder shall be entitled upon such conversion, including a check payable to the Holder for any cash amounts payable in lieu of fractional shares as described above. Upon conversion in full of this Bond, the Company shall be forever released from all its obligations and liabilities under this Bond.

 

3.2.3 Documentation. Upon the conversion of this Bond pursuant to Section 3.1 in connection with the Qualified Transaction, any bona fide equity financing that is not a Qualified Transaction or Change of Control, the Holder shall receive the same contractual rights as are made available to all investors in such Qualified Transaction, bona fide equity financing or Change of Control, as applicable and further, Holder hereby agrees to execute and deliver to the Company all transaction documents related to the Qualified Transaction or Change of Control, as the case may be, in a form acceptable to the Holder, including a purchase agreement and other ancillary agreements, with customary representations and warranties and, in the case of a Qualified Transaction, with transfer restrictions, and having the same terms as those agreements entered into by the other purchasers of securities in the Qualified Transaction.

 

4. Change of Control. If the Company consummates a Change of Control (as defined below) prior to the conversion or repayment of the entire principal amount and all accrued interest under this Bond, the Company shall notify the Holder in writing at least ten (10) business days prior to the closing of such Change of Control (the “Change of Control Notice”). The Company shall repay the outstanding principal balance of this Bond plus all accrued and unpaid interest hereunder on the date of the closing of such Change of Control unless the Holder elects to convert this Bond pursuant to Section 3.1.1 above within five (5) business days of the delivery by the Company of the Change of Control Notice. For purposes hereof, “Change of Control” means (y) any liquidation, dissolution, or winding up of the Company, whether voluntary or involuntary or (z) any (A) consolidation or merger of the Company with or into any other corporation or other entity or person, or any other corporate reorganization, in which the holders of Common Shares immediately prior to such consolidation, merger or reorganization, own less than 50% of the voting power of the surviving entity immediately after such consolidation, merger or reorganization, (B) any transaction or series of related transactions to which the Company is a party in which in excess of fifty percent (50%) of the Company’s voting power is transferred; or (C) any sale, lease, transfer, exclusive license or other disposition (directly or indirectly) of all or substantially all of the assets or technology of the Company.

 

5. Events of Default. The Company shall notify the Holder in writing immediately upon the occurrence of any of the following events (each an “Event of Default”). The Holder may declare the entire unpaid principal and accrued interest on this Bond to be immediately due and payable, by a notice in writing to the Company if an Event of Default occurs.:

5.2. The institution by the Company of proceedings to be adjudicated as bankrupt or insolvent, or the consent by the Company to institution of bankruptcy or insolvency proceedings against the Company under any federal or state law, or the consent by the Company to or acquiescence in the filing of any petition relating thereto, or the appointment of a receiver, liquidator, assignee, trustee or other similar official of the Company, or of any substantial part of its property, or the making by the Company of an assignment, for the benefit of creditors, or the admission by the Company in writing of its inability to pay its debts generally as such debts become due;

 

5.3.

9.2. Purchase for Own Account. The Holder has been advised that this Bond and the Conversion Securities have not been registered under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, (the “Securities Act”) or any state securities laws and, therefore, cannot be resold unless they are registered under the Securities Act and applicable state securities laws or unless an exemption from such registration requirements is available. The Holder is aware that the Company is under no obligation to effect any such registration with respect to this Bond or the underlying securities. The Holder represents that it is acquiring this Bond and the underlying securities solely for its own account and beneficial interest for investment and not for sale or with a view to distribution of this Bond or any part thereof, has no present intention of selling (in connection with a distribution or otherwise), granting any participation in, or otherwise distributing the same, and does not presently have reason to anticipate a change in such intention.
