Exhibit 10.5

 

PROMISSORY NOTE AND AMENDMENT

 

$550,000 July 6, 2022
  New York, NY

 

Reference is hereby made to that certain Promissory Note (the “Original Note”) in the initial principal amount of $2,630,000 by Clearday, Inc. (“Borrower”) payable to the order of A.G.P./Alliance Global Partners (“Lender”) and that certain Advisory Agreement dated July 25, 2019 by and between Lender and AIU Alternative Care, Inc., a Subsidiary of Borrower, as amended by an Addendum to Advisory Agreement dated as of November 1, 2019 (the “Advisory Agreement”).

 

For good and valuable consideration, the receipt and sufficiency of which is hereby acknowledged, including the payment by Borrower to Lender of $175,000 on the date of this Promissory Note and Modification (this “Note”) the Borrower, on behalf of itself and its subsidiaries, and Lender hereby agree as follows:

 

I. Original Note Modification.

 

The obligations under the Original Note is reduced to $550,000 and the payment terms and the Original Note is amended and restated in its entirety to read as provided in this Section I.

 

FOR VALUE RECEIVED, Clearday, Inc., a Delaware corporation (along with its subsidiaries, “Borrower”), promises to pay to A.G.P./Alliance Global Partners (“Lender”), the principal sum first set forth above (the “Loan Amount”) at Lender’s office, or at such other place as Lender may from time to time designate in writing, in lawful money of the United States, together with all accrued interest thereon as provided in this Promissory Note and Modification (this “Note”), and all other amounts due and payable under this Note, as they may be amended, restated, supplemented, or otherwise modified from time to time in accordance with their terms.

 

1. Interest. Except as otherwise provided in this Note, the outstanding Loan Amount shall accrue interest at a rate per annum equal to two percent (2%) (the “Interest Rate”) from the Initial Payment Date (as defined below) until the entire Loan Amount, all accrued and unpaid interest thereon, and all other amounts and indebtedness payable under this Note, are paid in full, whether at maturity, upon acceleration, by prepayment, or otherwise.

 

2. Computation of Interest. All computations of interest shall be made on the basis of the actual number of days elapsed in a year of 365 days. Interest shall commence to accrue on the Loan Amount on the Initial Payment Date, and shall not accrue on the Loan Amount on the day on which it is paid if payment is made to Lender prior to 12:00 p.m. Pacific time. Any payment of principal on this Note after 12:00 p.m. Pacific time on any Business Day shall be credited against this Note on the next Business Day and interest will continue to accrue until so credited. As used herein, “Business Day” means a day other than a Saturday, Sunday, or other day on which commercial banks in New York, New York are authorized or required by law to close.

 

3. Maturity Date. On the earlier of (i) March 31, 2023 (the “Maturity Date”) and (ii) the date on which all amounts under the Note shall become due and payable pursuant to Section 7, the aggregate amount of the then outstanding and unpaid Loan Amount, together with all accrued and unpaid interest thereon, shall become immediately due and payable in full.

 

 

 

 

4. Prepayments. Borrower may make voluntary prepayments of the principal balance of this Note, in full at any time or in part from time to time, without premium or penalty; provided, however, that Borrower shall be required to prepay the then outstanding principal balance of this Note with 25% of the net proceeds (which shall be deemed gross proceeds minus direct selling costs, expenses and commissions) received, directly or indirectly, by Borrower and/or its subsidiaries from the issuance of any equity or equity-linked financing (including convertible debt), less any selling commissions.

 

5. Application of Payment. All payments made hereunder shall be applied: first, to the payment of any fees or charges outstanding hereunder, as determined by Lender in its sole discretion; second, to accrued interest at the Interest Rate or the Default Rate, as applicable; and third, to the payment of the principal amount outstanding under this Note. However, after an Event of Default, all payments made hereunder may be applied by Lender in such order, priority and in such proportion as Lender shall elect in its sole discretion. No amount repaid hereunder may be re-borrowed.

 

6. Default Interest. If any amount payable under this Note is not paid when due (without regard to any applicable grace periods), whether at the stated maturity, by acceleration or otherwise, the outstanding Loan Amount of this Note shall bear interest at the Interest Rate plus 5% (the “Default Rate”) from the date payment was due until such delinquent payment is paid in full. Borrower acknowledges that it would be extremely difficult or impracticable to determine Lender’s actual damages resulting from any late payment or default, and such interest at the Default Rate is a reasonable estimate of those damages and does not constitute a penalty.

 

7. Events of Default. The occurrence of any of the following events shall constitute an event of default (an “Event of Default”) under this Note:

 

7.1 Failure to Pay. Borrower fails to pay any principal amount, interest or any other amount when due under this Note.

 

7.2 Default Under any A.G.P. Agreement. Borrower fails to perform any other obligation set forth in this Note or the Advisory Agreement beyond the expiration of all applicable notice and grace periods.

 

7.3 Assignment for the Benefit of Creditors. Borrower makes an assignment for the benefit of creditors, or generally fails to pay its debts as they become due and such failure continues after the applicable grace period, if any, specified in the agreement or instrument relating to such indebtedness.

 

7.4 Bankruptcy. (i) Borrower commences any case, proceeding, petition, or other action seeking appointment of a receiver, liquidator or trustee for Borrower or for all or substantially all of Borrower’s assets; (ii) Borrower is adjudicated as bankrupt or insolvent; (iii) any petition for bankruptcy, reorganization or other arrangement pursuant to federal bankruptcy law, or any similar federal or state law, is filed by or against, consented to, or acquiesced in by, Borrower; or (iv) any proceeding for the dissolution or liquidation of Borrower is instituted; provided, however, that if such appointment, adjudication, petition or proceeding (each, a “Bankruptcy Action”) was involuntary and not consented to by Borrower, then no Event of Default will be deemed to have occurred if such Bankruptcy Action is discharged, stayed or dismissed within 60 days.

8. Remedies. Upon the occurrence of an Event of Default and at any time thereafter and during the continuance of such Event of Default, (i) the parties expressly understand and agree that the Deferred Fee Amount shall not be in any way reduced (other than by the Initial Payment) or subject to this Note and the entire unpaid balance on the Deferred Fee Amount shall then again become immediately due and payable and (ii) the Lender may exercise any or all of its rights, powers, or remedies under the Advisory Agreement or applicable law or available in equity. The remedies of Lender, as provided in this Note and the Advisory Agreement, shall be cumulative and concurrent and may be pursued singly, successively, or together, at the sole discretion of Lender, and may be exercised as often as occasion therefor shall occur; and the failure to exercise any such right or remedy shall in no event be construed as a waiver or release thereof.

 

9. No Waiver. No failure to exercise and no delay in exercising on the part offender, of any right, remedy, power, or privilege hereunder shall operate as a waiver thereof; nor shall any single or partial exercise of any right, remedy, power, or privilege hereunder preclude any other or further exercise thereof or the exercise of any other right, remedy, power, or privilege. No waiver by Lender of any of its rights or of any such breach, default, or failure of condition shall be effective, unless the waiver is expressly stated in a writing signed by Lender.

 

10. Waivers. Borrower hereby waives presentment, demand for payment, protest, notice of dishonor, notice of protest or nonpayment, notice of intent to accelerate, notice of acceleration of maturity, and diligence in connection with the enforcement of this Note or the taking of any action to collect sums owing hereunder. Borrower hereby further waives and renounces, to the fullest extent permitted by law, all rights to the benefits of any statute of limitations and any moratorium, reinstatement, marshaling, forbearance, valuation, stay, extension, redemption, appraisement, exemption, and homestead now or hereafter provided by the laws of the United States of America and of each state thereof, both as to itself and in and to all of its property, real and personal, against the enforcement and collection of the obligations evidenced by this Note or the Advisory Agreement.

 

11. Expenses. Borrower shall reimburse Lender on demand for all out-of-pocket costs, expenses, and fees (including expenses and fees of its counsel) incurred by Lender in connection with the collection of this Note and the enforcement of Lender’s rights hereunder and thereunder.

 

12. Governing Law. This Note and any claim, controversy, dispute, or cause of action (whether in contract, equity, tort, or otherwise) based upon, arising out of, or relating to this Note and the transactions contemplated hereby shall be governed by the laws of the State of New York without giving effect to its principles of choice of law or conflicts of law.

Final judgment against Borrower in any action, suit, or proceeding shall be conclusive and may be enforced in any other jurisdiction by suit on the judgment.

14. WAIVER OF JURY TRIAL.

THIS WAIVER OF RIGHT TO TRIAL BY JURY IS GIVEN BY BORROWER, KNOWINGLY AND VOLUNTARILY WITH THE BENEFIT OF COMPETENT LEGAL COUNSEL.
