AMENDMENT NO. 1 TO
THIS AMENDMENT NO. 1 TO REGISTRATION RIGHTS AGREEMENT (this “Amendment”) is made as of November 13, 2015 (the “Effective Date”) by and between Safety Quick Lighting & Fans Corp., a Florida corporation (the “Company”), and the undersigned (the “Holder” and together with the Company, the “Parties”, and each, a “Party”).
WHEREAS, in connection with the Company’s offering to purchase up to $4,000,000 of its Company’s common stock (the “Offering”), the Parties entered into that certain Registration Rights Agreement, dated June 12, 2015 (the “Registration Rights Agreement”) and that certain Securities Subscription Agreement, dated June 12, 2015 (the “Subscription Agreement”), whereby the Holder subscribed for and received shares of the Company’s common stock pursuant to the first closing of the Offering, which occurred on June 12, 2015 (the “Closing Date”);
WHEREAS, the Registration Rights Agreement provides that the Company will use its Reasonable Best Efforts to file a registration statement with the Commission within 150 days of the date of the Closing Date (the “Registration Obligation”), and provides for specified damages if the Registration Obligation is not timely met;
WHEREAS, pursuant to the terms of the Subscription Agreement, the Company’s Board of Directors twice extended the term of the Offering, with an ultimate end date of November 6, 2015, and conducted a second closing on August 14, 2015 and a third and final closing on November 6, 2015;
WHEREAS, all investors in the Offering entered into a registration rights agreement substantially in the same form as the Registration Rights Agreement with the Holder, each tied to the particular date of closing for each such investor’s subscription;
