CONVERSION RIGHTS ADDENDUM
a)Conversion. The Noteholder shall effect conversions by delivering to the Borrower a Notice of Conversion, the form of which is attached hereto as Annex A (each, a “Notice of Conversion”), specifying therein the amount of the remaining obligations hereunder with interest accrued thereon to be converted and the date on which such conversion shall be effected (such date, the “Conversion Date”). If no Conversion Date is specified in a Notice of Conversion, the Conversion Date shall be the date that such Notice of Conversion is deemed delivered hereunder. No ink-original Notice of Conversion shall be required, nor shall any medallion guarantee (or other type of guarantee or notarization) of any Notice of Conversion form be required. To effect conversions hereunder, the Noteholder shall not be required to physically surrender the Promissory Note or this First Amendment to the Borrower unless all of the remaining obligations thereunder and hereunder have been so converted and the shares of Conversion Stock have been delivered. Conversions hereunder shall have the effect of lowering the amount of any remaining Convertible Obligations hereunder. The Noteholder and the Borrower shall maintain a Conversion Schedule showing the amount(s) converted and the date(s) of such conversion(s). The Borrower may deliver an objection to any Notice of Conversion within one (1) Business Day of delivery of such Notice of Conversion. In the event of any dispute or discrepancy, the records of the Noteholder shall be controlling and determinative in the absence of manifest error. Each of the Noteholder and any assignee by acceptance hereof acknowledges and agrees that, by reason of the provisions of this paragraph, following conversion of a portion hereof, the unpaid and unconverted then-outstanding obligations set forth in this Note may be less than the amount stated on the face hereof.
b)Conversion Price. The “Conversion Price” of the Convertible Obligations is $0.61, subject to adjustment as set forth below.
c)Mechanics of Conversion.
i.Conversion Stock Issuable Upon Conversion. The number of shares of Conversion Stock issuable upon a conversion hereunder shall be determined by the quotient obtained by dividing (x) the amount of the Convertible Obligations then so converted by (y) the Conversion Price.
ii.Delivery of Certificate Upon Conversion. Not later than two (2) Business Days1 after each Conversion Date (the “Share Delivery Date”), the Borrower shall deliver, or cause to be delivered, to the Noteholder a certificate or certificates representing the shares of Conversion Stock that, on or after the date on which such shares of Conversion Stock are (A) eligible to be sold under Rule 144 without the need for current public information and the Borrower has received an opinion of counsel to such effect reasonably acceptable to the Borrower (which opinion the Borrower will be responsible for obtaining at the cost of the Borrower) or (B) subject to a registration statement that has been declared effective by the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “Commission”) and which registration statement is then neither stale nor subject to any stop order, shall be free of restrictive legends and trading restrictions, representing the number of shares of Conversion Stock being acquired upon the relevant conversion hereof. All certificate or certificates required to be delivered by the Borrower under this Section (c) shall be delivered electronically through the Depositary Trust Company or another established clearing corporation performing similar functions. If the Conversion Date is prior to the date on which such shares of Conversion Stock are eligible to be sold unde

XxxXxx Xxxxxxxxxx Note to Xxxxx Capital Group February 2024.2 (corrected) Conversion Rights Addendum-1
r Rule 144 without the need for current public information the shares of Conversion Stock shall bear a restrictive legend in the following form, as appropriate:
“NEITHER THE ISSUANCE AND SALE OF THE SECURITIES REPRESENTED BY THIS CERTIFICATE NOR THE SECURITIES INTO WHICH THESE SECURITIES ARE EXERCISABLE HAVE BEEN REGISTERED UNDER THE SECURITIES ACT OF 1933, AS AMENDED, OR APPLICABLE STATE SECURITIES LAWS. THE SECURITIES MAY NOT BE OFFERED FOR SALE, SOLD, TRANSFERRED OR ASSIGNED (I) IN THE ABSENCE OF (A) AN EFFECTIVE REGISTRATION STATEMENT FOR THE SECURITIES UNDER THE SECURITIES ACT OF 1933, AS AMENDED, OR (B) AN OPINION OF COUNSEL (WHICH COUNSEL SHALL BE SELECTED BY THE NOTEHOLDER), IN A GENERALLY ACCEPTABLE FORM, THAT REGISTRATION IS NOT REQUIRED UNDER SAID ACT OR (II) UNLESS SOLD PURSUANT TO RULE 144 OR RULE 144A UNDER SAID ACT. NOTWITHSTANDING THE FOREGOING, THE SECURITIES MAY BE PLEDGED IN CONNECTION WITH A BONA FIDE MARGIN ACCOUNT OR OTHER LOAN OR FINANCING ARRANGEMENT SECURED BY THE SECURITIES.”
Notwithstanding the foregoing, commencing on such date that the shares of Conversion Stock are eligible for sale under Rule 144 subject to current public information requirements, the Borrower, upon request and at the expense of the Borrower, shall obtain a legal opinion to allow for such sales under Rule 144.
iii.Failure to Deliver Certificates. If, in the case of any Notice of Conversion, such certificate or certificates are not delivered to or as directed by the Noteholder by the Share Delivery Date, the Noteholder shall be entitled to elect by written notice to the Borrower at any time on or before its receipt of such certificate or certificates, to rescind such Conversion, in which event the Borrower shall promptly return to the Noteholder any of the Note, delivered to the Borrower and the Noteholder shall promptly return to the Borrower the Common Stock certificates issued to such Noteholder pursuant to the rescinded Conversion Notice.
iv.Obligation Absolute; Partial Liquidated Damages. The Borrower’s obligations to issue and deliver the shares of Conversion Stock upon conversion hereof in accordance with the terms hereof are absolute and unconditional, irrespective of any action or inaction by the Noteholder to enforce the same, any waiver or consent with respect to any provision hereof, the recovery of any judgment against any Person or any action to enforce the same, or any setoff, counterclaim, recoupment, limitation, or termination, or any breach or alleged breach by the Noteholder or any other Person of any obligation to the Borrower or any violation or alleged violation of law by the Noteholder or any other Person, and irrespective of any other circumstance which might otherwise limit such obligation of the Borrower to the Noteholder in connection with the issuance of such shares of Conversion Stock; provided, however, that such delivery shall not operate as a waiver by the Borrower of any such action the Borrower may have against the Noteholder. In the event the Noteholder shall elect to convert any or all of the outstanding principal or interest amount hereof, the Borrower may not refuse conversion based on any claim that the Noteholder or anyone associated or affiliated with the Noteholder has been engaged in any violation of law, agreement, or for any other reason, unless an injunction from a court, on notice to Noteholder, restraining and or enjoining conversion of all or part hereof shall have been sought. If the injunction is not granted, the Borrower shall promptly comply with all conversion obligations herein. If the injunction is obtained, the Borrower must post a surety bond for the benefit of
XxxXxx Xxxxxxxxxx Note to Xxxxx Capital Group February 2024.2 (corrected) Conversion Rights Addendum-2
the Noteholder in the amount of 150% of the outstanding amount that is subject to the injunction, which bond shall remain in effect until the completion of arbitration/litigation of the underlying dispute and the proceeds of which shall be payable to the Noteholder to the extent it obtains judgment. In the absence of seeking such injunction, the Borrower shall issue The shares of Conversion Stock or, if applicable, cash, upon a properly noticed conversion. If the Borrower fails for any reason to deliver to the Noteholder such certificate or certificates pursuant to Section (c)(ii) by the Share Delivery Date, the Borrower shall pay to the Noteholder, in cash, as liquidated damages and not as a penalty, $1,000 per Business Day for each Business Day after such Share Delivery Date until such certificates are delivered or Noteholder rescinds such conversion. Nothing herein shall limit Noteholder’s right to pursue actual damages or declare an event of default for the Borrower’s failure to deliver The shares of Conversion Stock within the period specified herein and the Noteholder shall have the right to pursue all remedies available to it hereunder, at law or in equity including, without limitation, a decree of specific performance and/or injunctive relief. The exercise of any such rights shall not prohibit the Noteholder from seeking to enforce damages pursuant to any other Section hereof or under applicable law.
v.Compensation for Buy-In on Failure to Timely Deliver Certificates Upon Conversion. In addition to any other rights available to the Noteholder, if the Borrower fails for any reason to deliver to the Noteholder such certificate or certificates by the Share Delivery Date pursuant to Section (c)(ii), and, if after such Share Delivery Date the Noteholder is required by its brokerage firm to purchase (in an open market transaction or otherwise), or the Noteholder’s brokerage firm otherwise purchases, shares of Common Stock to deliver in satisfaction of a sale by the Noteholder of the shares of Conversion Stock that the Noteholder was entitled to receive upon the conversion relating to such Share Delivery Date (a “Buy-In”), then the Borrower shall (A) pay in cash to the Noteholder (in addition to any other remedies available to or elected by the Noteholder) the amount, if any, by which (x) the Noteholder’s total purchase price (including any brokerage commissions) for the Common Stock so purchased exceeds (y) the product of (1) the aggregate number of shares of Common Stock that the Noteholder was entitled to receive from the conversion at issue multiplied by (2) the actual sale price at which the sell order giving rise to such purchase obligation was executed (including any brokerage commissions) and (B) at the option of the Noteholder, either reissue (if surrendered) this Note in an amount equal to the amount of the attempted conversion (in which case such conversion shall be deemed rescinded) or deliver to the Noteholder the number of shares of Common Stock that would have been issued if the Borrower had timely complied with its delivery requirements under Section (c)(ii). For example, if the Noteholder purchases Common Stock having a total purchase price of $11,000 to cover a Buy-In with respect to an attempted conversion hereof with respect to which the actual sale price of the shares of Conversion Stock (including any brokerage commissions) giving rise to such purchase obligation was a total of $10,000 under clause (A) of the immediately preceding sentence, the Borrower shall be required to pay to the Noteholder the sum of $1,000. The Noteholder shall provide the Borrower written notice indicating the amounts payable to the Noteholder in respect of the Buy-In and, upon request of the Borrower, evidence of the amount of such loss. Nothing herein shall limit Noteholder’s right to pursue any other remedies available to it hereunder, at law or in equity including, without limitation, a decree of specific performance and/or injunctive relief with respect to the Borrower’s failure to timely deliver certificates representing shares of Common Stock upon conversion of this Note as required pursuant to the terms hereof.
vi.Reservation of Shares Issuable Upon Conversion. The Borrower covenants that it will at all times reserve and keep available out of its authorized and
XxxXxx Xxxxxxxxxx Note to Xxxxx Capital Group February 2024.2 (corrected) Conversion Rights Addendum-3
unissued shares of Common Stock a number of shares of Common Stock at least equal to 200% of the Required Minimum (the “Reserve Amount”) for the sole purpose of issuance of shares of Common Stock hereunder, as herein provided, free from preemptive rights or any other actual contingent purchase rights of Persons other than the Noteholder. The Borrower covenants that all shares of Common Stock that shall be so issuable shall, upon issue, be duly authorized, validly issued, fully paid, and nonassessable.
vii.Fractional Shares. No fractional shares or scrip representing fractional shares shall be issued upon the conversion hereof. As to any fraction of a share to which the Noteholder would otherwise be entitled to purchase upon such conversion, the Borrower shall, at its election, either pay a cash adjustment in respect of such final fraction in an amount equal to such fraction multiplied by the Conversion Price or round up to the next whole share.
viii.Transfer Taxes and Expenses. The issuance of certificates for shares of the Common Stock on partial or complete conversion hereof shall be made without charge to the Noteholder for any documentary stamp or similar taxes that may be payable in respect of the issue or delivery of such certificates, provided that, the Borrower shall not be required to pay any tax that may be payable in respect of any transfer involved in the issuance and delivery of any such certificate upon conversion in a name other than that of the Noteholder so converted and the Borrower shall not be required to issue or deliver such certificates unless or until the Person or Persons requesting the issuance thereof shall have paid to the Borrower the amount of such tax or shall have established to the satisfaction of the Borrower that such tax has been paid. The Borrower shall pay all Transfer Agent fees required for same-day processing of any Notice of Conversion.
d)Noteholder’s Conversion Limitations. Noteholder shall not effect any conversion of any amount due hereunder and shall not have the right to convert any amounts due hereunder, to the extent that after giving effect to the conversion set forth on the applicable Notice of Conversion, the Noteholder (together with the Noteholder’s Affiliates, and any Persons acting as a group together with the Noteholder or any of the Noteholder’s Affiliates) would beneficially own in excess of the Beneficial Ownership Limitation (as defined below). For purposes of the foregoing sentence, the number of shares of Common Stock beneficially owned by the Noteholder and its Affiliates shall include the number of shares of Common Stock issuable upon the relevant conversion hereof with respect to which such determination is being made, but shall exclude the number of shares of Common Stock which are issuable upon (i) conversion of the remaining, unconverted amounts due hereunder beneficially owned by the Noteholder or any of its Affiliates and (ii) exercise or conversion of the unexercised or unconverted portion of any other securities of the Borrower subject to a limitation on conversion or exercise analogous to the limitation contained herein (including, without limitation, any obligations in favor of any Affiliates, and any Persons acting as a group together with the Noteholder or any of the Noteholder’s Affiliates) beneficially owned by the Noteholder or any Persons acting as a group together with the Noteholder. Except as set forth in the preceding sentence, for purposes of this Section (d), beneficial ownership shall be calculated in accordance with Section 13(d) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (the “Exchange Act”)and the rules and regulations promulgated thereunder. To the extent that the limitation contained in this Section (d) applies, the determination of whether the Joint Obligor’s obligations hereunder are convertible (in relation to other securities owned by the Noteholder together with any Affiliates and any Persons acting as a group together with the Noteholder or any of the Noteholder’s Affiliates) and of which obligations hereunder are convertible shall be in the sole discretion of the Noteholder, and the submission of a Notice of Conversion shall be deemed to be the Noteholder’s determination of whether any of the Joint Obligor’s obligations hereunder may be converted (in relation to other securities owned by the
XxxXxx Xxxxxxxxxx Note to Xxxxx Capital Group February 2024.2 (corrected) Conversion Rights Addendum-4
Noteholder together with any Affiliates, and any Persons acting as a group together with the Noteholder or any of the Noteholder’s Affiliates, and which amount owing hereunder is convertible, in each case subject to the Beneficial Ownership Limitation. To ensure compliance with this restriction, the Noteholder will be deemed to represent to the Borrower each time it delivers a Notice of Conversion that such Notice of Conversion has not violated the restrictions set forth in this paragraph and the Borrower shall have no obligation to verify or confirm the accuracy of such determination. In addition, a determination as to any group status as contemplated above shall be determined in accordance with Section 13(d) of the Exchange Act and the rules and regulations promulgated thereunder. For purposes of this Section (d), in determining the number of outstanding shares of Common Stock, the Noteholder may rely on the number of outstanding shares of Common Stock as stated in the most recent of the following: (i) the Borrower’s most recent periodic or annual report filed with the Commission, as the case may be, (ii) a more recent public announcement by the Borrower, or (iii) a more recent written notice by the Borrower or the Borrower’s transfer agent setting forth the number of shares of Common Stock outstanding. Upon the written or oral request of the Noteholder, the Borrower shall, within two Business Days confirm orally and in writing to the Noteholder the number of shares of Common Stock then outstanding. In any case, the number of outstanding shares of Common Stock shall be determined after giving effect to the conversion or exercise of securities of the Borrower, including the obligations set forth in the Note, by the Noteholder or its Affiliates since the date as of which such number of outstanding shares of Common Stock was reported. The “Beneficial Ownership Limitation” shall be 4.99% of the number of shares of the Common Stock outstanding immediately after giving effect to the issuance of shares of Common Stock issuable upon the relevant conversion hereunder. The Noteholder, upon not less than sixty-one (61) days’ prior notice to the Borrower, may increase or decrease the Beneficial Ownership Limitation provisions of this Section (d), provided that the Beneficial Ownership Limitation in no event exceeds 9.99% of the number of shares of the Common Stock outstanding immediately after giving effect to the issuance of shares of Common Stock upon the relevant conversion hereunder held by the Noteholder and the Beneficial Ownership Limitation provisions of this Section (d) shall continue to apply. Any such increase or decrease will not be effective until the sixty-first (61st) calendar day after such notice is delivered to the Borrower. The Beneficial Ownership Limitation provisions of this paragraph shall be construed and implemented in a manner otherwise than in strict conformity with the terms of this Section (d) to correct this paragraph (or any portion hereof) that may be defective or inconsistent with the intended Beneficial Ownership Limitation contained herein or to make changes or supplements necessary or desirable to properly give effect to such limitation. The limitations contained in this paragraph shall apply to a successor holder hereof.
e)NASDAQ Limitation. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, the Lender may not effectuate any Conversion and Borrower may not issue any shares of Common Stock in connection therewith that would trigger any Nasdaq requirement to obtain stockholder approval prior to a Conversion or any issuance of shares of Common Stock in connection therewith that would be in excess of that number of shares of Common Stock equivalent to 19.9% of the number of shares of Common Stock as of the Effective Date; provided, however, that, subject dot the terms herein, the Noteholder may effectuate any Conversion and the Borrower shall be obligated to issue shares of Common Stock in connection therewith that would not trigger such a requirement. This restriction shall be of no further force or effect upon the approval of the Borrower’s stockholders in compliance with Nasdaq’s stockholder voting requirements.
