1. The Notes and Warrants.

(a) Issuance of Notes. Subject to all of the terms and conditions hereof, the Company agrees to issue and sell to each of the Investors, and each of the Investors severally agrees to purchase, a secured promissory note in the form of Exhibit A hereto (each, a “Note” and, collectively, the “Notes”) in the principal amount set forth opposite the respective Investor’s name on Schedule I.

If the Notes have not been repaid within six months after issuance, the Notes will bear interest at the SOFR rate plus nine percent (9%), and if the Notes have not been repaid within nine months after issuance, the Notes will bear interest at the SOFR rate plus twelve percent (12%). The payment of the Notes and the other Obligations is secured by the Security Agreement.

(b) Issuance of Warrants.

(i) The Company will electronically submit to the New York Stock Exchange a Supplemental Listing Application (the “NYSE SLAP”) prior to the entering into of this Agreement, and will use its reasonable best efforts to have the NYSE SLAP approved by the NYSE within two weeks after the electronic submission. If the NYSE SLAP is not approved by the NYSE within two weeks after the electronic submission (the “Event”), then on the date of such Event and each monthly anniversary after the date of the Event, and until the NYSE SLAP is approved by the NYSE, the Company shall pay to each Holder an amount in cash, as a penalty, the product of 2.0% multiplied by the amount outstanding on the Notes issued to the Holder pursuant to the Purchase Agreement. If the Company fails to pay any penalty pursuant to this Section in full within seven days after the date payable, the Company will pay interest thereon at a rate of 10% per annum (or such lesser maximum amount that is permitted to be paid by applicable law) to the Holder, accruing daily from the date such penalties are due until such amounts, plus all such interest thereon, are paid in full. The penalties pursuant to the terms hereof shall apply on a daily pro rata basis for any portion of a month prior to the cure the Event. Upon such time as the New York Stock Exchange SLAP has been approved by the New York Stock Exchange, the Company will issue to each Investor a warrant in the form of Exhibit B hereto (each, a “Warrant” and, collectively, the “Warrants”) to purchase up to a number of shares of common stock equal to the number of shares set forth opposite each Investor’s name on Schedule I. The Company has the right to repurchase the initial Warrants in accordance with Section 2(g) of the Warrant.

(ii) If the Notes have not been repaid within six months after issuance, additional warrants will be issued to each Investor in an amount equal to the principal amount of the Note multiplied by 25%, and such quotient divided by a per share cash exercise price equal to 120% of the Volume Weighted Average Price (“VWAP”) of the Company’s common stock, $0.0001 par value per share (“Common Stock”) during the ten (10) Trading Days immediately prior to issuance (the “Six Month Initial Exercise Price”). The Company has the right to repurchase such Warrants when the closing price of the shares of Common Stock on the market on which it is then listed or quoted exceeds 200% of the Six Month Initial Exercise Price for at least 20 out of 30 Trading Days, at a redemption price equal to the VWAP for the ten (10) days preceding the repurchase, less the exercise price, provided that the Warrant Shares are then registered pursuant to an effective registration statement or may be resold via Rule 144 and the Equity Conditions (as defined in the Warrants) are satisfied by the Company.

(iii) If the Notes have not been repaid within nine months after issuance, additional warrants will be issued to each Investor in an amount equal to the principal amount of the Note multiplied by 25%, and such quotient divided by a per share cash exercise price equal to 120% of the VWAP of the Common Stock during the ten (10) Trading Days immediately prior to issuance (the “Nine Month Initial Exercise Price”). The Company has the right to repurchase such Warrants when the closing price of the shares of Common Stock on the market on which it is then listed or quoted exceeds 200% of the Nine Month Initial Exercise Price for at least 20 out of 30 Trading Days, at a redemption price equal to the VWAP for the ten (10) days preceding the repurchase, less the exercise price, provided that the Warrant Shares are then registered pursuant to an effective registration statement or may be resold via Rule 144 and the Equity Conditions (as defined in the Warrants) are satisfied by the Company.

(c) Delivery. The sale and purchase of the Notes and Warrants will take place (i) at a closing (the “Closing”) to be held on November 13, 2023 or at such place and time as the Company and the Investors may otherwise determine (the “Closing Date”). At the Closing, the Company will deliver to each of the Investors the Note and Warrant to be purchased by such Investor as set forth on Schedule I, against receipt by the Company of the corresponding purchase price set forth on Schedule I (the “Purchase Price”). Each of the Notes and Warrants will be recorded in such Investor’s name in the Company’s records.

(d) Use of Proceeds. The proceeds of the sale and issuance of the Notes will be used for general corporate purposes, including for working capital of the Company.

(e) Payments.

(i) The Notes will become due and payable on the earliest of: (1) the closing of a loan facility or the issuance of debt in aggregate principal amount of not less than $20 million, secured by intellectual property of the Company (the “Credit Facility”), (2) a Sale Event (as defined in the Notes), or (3) twelve months after the issuance of the Notes.

(ii) Subject to the obligations provided in the Subordination Agreement (defined below), proceeds from any Sale Event or issuances of debt or equity securities by the Company in a transaction or series of related transactions in an amount greater than $10 million (excluding issuances to employees and consultants for compensatory purposes, in connection with strategic transactions (other than those conducted solely for capital raising purposes), or pursuant to obligations existing as of the date hereof) (a “Sale Event Transaction”) must be used to repay the Notes simultaneously with such Sale Event Transaction. The Company shall notify the Investors in writing of any Sale Event no later than three (3) Trading Days before such Sale Event Transaction takes place in accordance with the notice provisions hereof and repay the Notes by wire transfer of immediately available funds to an account designated by the Investor.

(iv) The Notes, together with all accrued and unpaid interest and fees (including any breakage costs) to the date of the repayment, may be prepaid at any time without premium or penalty, in whole or in part, in accordance with the terms of the Notes.

(v) The Company will make all cash payments due under the Notes in immediately available funds by 1:00 p.m. Mountain time on the date such payment is due by wire transfer to an account designated by the Investor, or in such other manner as an Investor or other registered holder of a Note may from time to time direct in writing

Each party will pay its own costs and expenses incurred in connection with the preparation, execution and delivery of this Agreement and the other Transaction Documents; provided, however, that the Company will reimburse Anson for all reasonable fees and expenses, including reasonable attorney fees and expenses, incurred by Xxxxx in connection with the preparation, execution and delivery of this Agreement and the other Transaction Documents up to a maximum amount of $25,000.

Counterparts may be delivered via electronic mail (including pdf or any electronic signature complying with the U.S. federal ESIGN Act of 2000, e.g., xxx.xxxxxxxx.xxx) or other transmission method and any counterpart so delivered will be deemed to have been duly and validly delivered and be valid and effective for all purposes.
