SECOND EXTENSION AGREEMENT
Exhibit 10.9(f)
This SECOND EXTENSION AGREEMENT (this “Agreement”) dated as of April 25, 2022 by and between ADAMAS ONE CORP., a Nevada corporation (“Company”) and Target Capital 3 LLC, an Arizona limited liability company (“Investor”). Each of the Company and the Investor are a “Party” to this Agreement, and one or more of them, as the context shall require, are the “Parties” hereto.
RECITALS:
WHEREAS, the Company has executed and delivered to Investor, inter alia, those certain Senior Secured Convertible Note Purchase Agreements dated as of June 1, 2021 and June 3, 2021, together with all Exhibits and Schedules thereto (the “Note Purchase Agreements”), including but not limited to the Senior Secured Convertible Promissory Notes in the principal amount of $2,100,000 dated June 1, 2021 and June 3, 2021, which have, as of April 25, 2022, an aggregate outstanding principal balance of $2,100,000 (“Note”);
WHEREAS, the Company and the Investor executed an Extension Agreement dated March 30, 2022 extending the term of the Note to April 15, 2022 (“First Extension Agreement”);
WHEREAS, the Company has requested that Investor extend the term of the Note to May 15, 2022 in exchange for an additional 50,000 Incentive Shares (as defined in the Note Purchase Agreements) to be issued and delivered by the Company to the Investor, and Investor is willing to do so on the terms and conditions set forth below;
NOW, THEREFORE, for and in consideration of the mutual covenants contained herein and for other valuable consideration, the receipt and sufficiency of which are hereby acknowledged, the parties hereto agree as follows:
1. Defined Terms. Capitalized terms used but not defined in this Agreement shall have the meaning given to such capitalized terms in the Note Purchase Agreements.
2. Extension of Maturity Date. The maturity date of the Note is hereby extended to 5:00 p.m. New York City, New York Time on May 15, 2022 (the “Maturity Date”). The liens, interests, assignments, and other rights evidenced by the Note Purchase Agreements and including the first perfected security interest in the Collateral as set forth in the Security Agreements are hereby renewed and extended to secure payment of the Note as extended hereby. The Company shall evidence its agreement to such extension and its agreement to timely pay the Note and all other Obligations thereunder on the Maturity Date by its signature hereon and on the Allonge to the Promissory Note which will amend and be attached to the Promissory Note, be incorporated therein and made a part thereof. While the extension of the Maturity Date of the First Extension Agreement has expired, the parties agree that all of the terms and conditions of the First Extension Agreement, other than the extended Maturity Date, shall continue to survive to the extent such terms and conditions do not conflict with this Second Extension Agreement.
3. Extension Fee. As a condition to the extension of the Maturity Date, the Company shall issue to the Investor, upon the signing by the Company of this Agreement, 50,000 shares of the Company’s restricted common stock, $0.001 par value per share (“Common Stock”), as additional Incentive Shares (“Additional Incentive Shares”) as a consideration for the extension of the maturity date of the Note. All such Additional Incentive Shares shall be issued and delivered by the Company to the Investor within five (5) business days after the date of the execution of this Agreement by the Company. All of such shares will be duly authorized, validly issued, fully paid and non-assessable and without any lien of the Company. Should the Company fail to issue the shares of Common Stock within such five (5) business days, the Company hereby agrees to pay to the Investor, as liquidated damages and not as a penalty, the cash sum of $1,000.00 per day for every day until all of such shares have been delivered to the Investor. For all relevant purposes, the number of shares to be issued and delivered to the Investor, shall be appropriately adjusted to take into account any stock split, stock dividend, reverse stock split, recapitalization, issuance of additional share (regardless of the purpose and regardless of the price) or similar change in the Company’s Common Stock, which may occur between the date of the execution of this Agreement and the closing date of the Company’s initial public offering (“IPO”). For clarity, in the event the Company undertakes a reverse stock split prior to the IPO, the Company agrees to issue additional shares so that the Investor will have 50,000 restricted shares of Common Stock on the date immediately post-reverse stock split and on the date of the closing of the IPO. However, notwithstanding the foregoing, the Investor shall not receive shares of Common Stock that would cause it to be the beneficial owner of more than 9.99% of the Company’s issued and outstanding shares of Common Stock on the date immediately post-reverse stock split. Any such shares that exceed the 9.99% shall be held in trust for the Investor by the Company and shall thereafter be issued to the Investor, immediately upon its request, at any time or from time to time, when such shares would not cause the Investor to be the owner of more than 9.99% of the Company’s issued and outstanding shares of Common Stock. For avoidance of doubt, the total number of Additional Incentive Shares to be issued to the Investor from the First Extension Agreement and this Second Extension Agreement is 100,000.
4. Registration of Shares. The Company hereby agrees that it will register all Additional Incentive Shares issuable hereunder in the registration statement that it has filed confidentially with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission and that it will file publicly hereafter for the Company’s IPO.
5. True-Ups. All of the Additional Incentive Shares to be issued to the Investor hereunder shall be considered to be “Investor Registrable Securities” under the Registration Rights Agreement dated May 24, 2021 and June 3, 2021 (“Registration Rights Agreement”) by and between the Investor and the Company and shall have all of the rights that the other such Investor Registrable Securities have in accordance therewith. In addition, for good and valuable consideration, the receipt of which is hereby acknowledged by the Company, if the closing price of one share of the Common Stock issued under this Extension Agreement on its first day of trading on a national securities exchange immediately following the date upon which the Lock-Up expires, is below the per share offering price in the Company’s final prospectus, the Company agrees to issue to the Investor, without further payment by the Investor a number of shares of Common Stock (“Additional Shares”) equal to the following formula:
| ● | Step 1: X multiplied by CP = Y |
| ● | Step 2: X multiplied by OP = W |
| ● | Step 3: If W is equal to Y, there shall be no adjustment; |
| ● | Step 4: If W is greater than Y, then W minus Y = Z |
| ● | Step 5: Z divided by CP = A. |
| Where: “CP” is the actual closing price of the Common Stock on the first trading day after the Lock-Up expires; | |
| “OP” is the offering price of the Common Stock in the IPO; | |
| “W” is the product of the number of Incentive Shares, Conversion Shares (if any) and Warrant Shares (if any) owned by the Investor on the date that the Lock-Up expires multiplied by the offering price of the Common Stock in the IPO; | |
| “X” is the number of Incentive Shares, Conversion Shares (if any) and Warrant Shares (if any) owned by the Investor on the date that the Lock-Up expires; | |
| “Y” is the product of the number of Incentive Shares, Conversion Shares (if any) and Warrant Shares (if any) owned by the Investor on the date that the Lock-Up expires multiplied by the actual closing price of the Common Stock on the first trading day after the Lock-Up expires; | |
| “Z” is the result of the difference between (i) product of the number of Incentive Shares, Conversion Shares (if any) and Warrant Shares (if any) owned by the Investor on the date that the Lock- Up expires multiplied by the offering price of the Common Stock in the IPO and (ii) the product of the number of Incentive Shares, Conversion Shares (if any) and Warrant Shares (if any) owned by the Investor on the date that the Lock-Up expires multiplied by the actual closing price of the Common Stock on the first trading day after the Lock-Up expires; | |
| “A” represents the number of shares to be issued to the Investor by the Company if the closing price of the Common Stock on the first trading day after the Lock-Up expires is less than the offering price. | |
| So, for example, if X = 100,000 shares; CP = $4.25; and OP = $5.00, then: | |
| ● | Step 1: 100,000 multiplied by $4.25 = $425,000; |
| ● | Step 2: 100,000 multiplied by $5.00 = $500,000; |
| ● | Step 3: $500,000 minus $425,000 = $75,000; |
| ● | Step 4: $75,000 divided by $4.25 = 17,647.06; |
| Proof: 100,000 + 17,647.06 = 117,647.06 total shares multiplied by $4.25 = $500,000. | |
The Company shall be obligated to deliver the non-registered Additional Shares within ten (10) business days after the expiration date of the Lock-Up, which Shares shall be duly authorized, validly issued and non-assessable and shall contain a legend stating that they were issued pursuant to an exemption from the registration requirements of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, the transfer of such shares being restricted thereunder.
5. Representations and Warranties. The Company hereby represents and warrants that (a) the Company is the sole legal and beneficial owner of the Collateral; (b) ADAMAS ONE CORP. is duly organized and legally existing under the laws of the State of Nevada ; (c) the execution and delivery of, and performance under this Agreement are within the Company’s power and authority without the joinder or consent of any other party and have been duly authorized by all requisite action and are not in contravention of law or the powers of the Company’s respective organization documents; (d) this Agreement constitutes the legal, valid and binding obligations of the Company enforceable in accordance with its terms; (e) the execution and delivery of this Agreement by the Company do not contravene, result in a breach of or constitute a default under any deed of trust, loan agreement, indenture or other contract, agreement or undertaking to which the Company is a party or by which the Company or any of its properties may be bound (nor would such execution and delivery constitute such a default with the passage of time or the giving of notice or both) and do not violate or contravene any law, order, decree, rule or regulation to which the Company is subject; and (f) to the best of the Company’s knowledge there exists no uncured default under any of the Note Purchase Agreements or Note.
