To provide the Company with additional resources to conduct its business, the Company wishes to issue and sell to the Purchasers, and each Purchaser wishes to purchase from the Company, one or more convertible notes in exchange for the Purchase Price (as defined herein) set forth on each Purchaser’s signature page hereto, subject to the conditions specified herein (the “Offering”).
Agreement
Now, Therefore, in consideration of the foregoing, and the representations, warranties, covenants and conditions set forth below, the Company and each Purchaser, intending to be legally bound, hereby agree as follows:
1. Amount and Terms of the Loan
1.1 Purchase and Sale of Notes. Subject to the terms of this Agreement, each Purchaser agrees to purchase from the Company at Closing (as hereinafter defined) one or more senior convertible secured promissory notes (each, a “Note” and collectively, the “Notes”) convertible into common shares “Conversion Shares”) in the capital of the Company (“Common Shares”), in the original principal amount set forth on such Purchaser’s signature page hereto (each, a “Loan Amount”), for an aggregate amount of up to U.S. $3,000,000.00, which Notes are to be in substantially the form attached hereto as Exhibit “A”, for a purchase price equal to the Loan Amount less an original issue discount of eight (8%) percent (the “Purchase Price”).
1.2 Additional Consideration. As additional consideration for the purchase of the Notes, the Company agrees to issue to each Purchaser convertible preferred shares in the capital of the Company (“Preferred Shares”) that are convertible into Common Shares having an initial aggregate value that is equal to one hundred (100%) percent of such Purchaser’s Loan Amount (subject to adjustment), based on a conversion price as set out in the terms of the Preferred Shares attached hereto as Exhibit “B” (the “Preferred Conversion Shares”). The Notes, the Conversion Shares, the Preferred Shares and the Preferred Conversion Shares are collectively referred to herein as the “Securities”.
2. Closing and Delivery
2.1 Closing. The closing of the sale and purchase of the Notes (the “Closing”) shall be held on the Effective Date, or at such other time as the Company may determine, in its sole discretion (such date is hereinafter referred to as the “Closing Date”).
2.2 Delivery.
(a) At the Closing, (i) each Purchaser shall deliver to the Company a wire transfer of funds to an account designated in writing at least two (2) business days prior to the Closing by the Company in the amount of such Purchaser’s Purchase Price and an executed copy of the lock-up agreement (“Lock-Up Agreement”) appended hereto as Exhibit “E”; and (ii) the Company shall issue and deliver to each Purchaser a duly executed original Note in favor of such Purchaser payable in the principal amount of such Purchaser’s Loan Amount and a certificate representing the Purchaser’s Preferred Shares.
1 |
(b) Each of the form of Notice of Conversion included in the Notes and the form of Notice of Conversion in connection with the Preferred Shares included in Exhibit “B” set forth the totality of the procedures required of the Purchasers to convert the Notes or Preferred Shares. Without limiting the preceding sentence, 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 convert the Notes or Preferred Shares. No additional legal opinion, other information or instructions shall be required of the Purchasers to convert their Notes or Preferred Shares and the Purchasers shall not be required to pay any fees or additional costs to the Company’s transfer agent (the “Transfer Agent”) or otherwise. The Company shall honor conversions of the Notes and/or Preferred Shares and shall deliver Underlying Securities (as defined below) in accordance with the terms, conditions and time periods set forth in the Transaction Documents.
(c) Book-entry statements evidencing the Conversion Shares or the Preferred Conversion Shares (collectively, the “Underlying Securities”) shall not contain any U.S. legend (including the legend set forth in Section 6.5 hereof): (i) while a registration statement covering the resale of such Underlying Securities is effective under the 1933 Act, (ii) following any sale of such Underlying Securities pursuant to Rule 144, or (iii) if such legend is not required under applicable requirements of the 1933 Act (including judicial interpretations and pronouncements issued by the staff of the SEC). The Company shall, at its expense, cause its counsel to issue a legal opinion to the Transfer Agent within two (2) business days of the earlier to occur of (x) the twelve (12) month anniversary of the Closing or (y) the effectiveness of the Company’s registration statement on Form S-1 covering the resale of the Underlying Securities (the “U.S. Legend Removal Date”) (for the avoidance of doubt, the Company shall pay all costs associated with such opinions). The Company shall cause the Transfer Agent to issue or reissue book-entry statements evidencing the Underlying Securities within two (2) business days of the date the Company becomes a reporting issuer in a jurisdiction of Canada (the “Legend Removal Date”). If all or any portion of a Note is converted or Preferred Shares are converted at a time when there is an effective registration statement to cover the resale of such Underlying Securities, or if such Underlying Securities may be sold under Rule 144 or if such legend is not otherwise required under applicable requirements of the 1933 Act (including judicial interpretations and pronouncements issued by the staff of the SEC) then such Underlying Securities shall be issued free of all U.S. legends. If all or any portion of a Note is converted or Preferred Shares are converted at a time when the Company is a reporting issuer in a jurisdiction of Canada then such Underlying Securities shall be issued free of all Canadian legends. The Company may not make any notation on its records or give instructions to the Transfer Agent that enlarge the restrictions on transfer set forth in this Section 2.2(b). Book-entry statements for Securities subject to legend removal hereunder shall be transmitted by the Transfer Agent to the Purchaser by crediting the account of such Purchaser’s prime broker with the Depository Trust Company System as directed by such Purchaser. In connection with any removal of legends as set forth in this Section 2.2(b), the Purchasers shall deliver to the Transfer Agent on the Legend Removal Date (i) a duly executed representation letter; (ii) a duly executed DWAC instruction form; and (iii) such other documents as may be requested by the Transfer Agent, acting reasonably. The Parties agree that the Purchasers shall not be responsible for any fees or additional costs, to the Transfer Agent or otherwise, in connection with the delivery of the Securities pursuant to the Transaction Documents.
(d) In addition to such Purchaser’s other available remedies, the Company shall pay to a Purchaser, in cash, (i) as partial liquidated damages and not as a penalty, for each $1,000 of Underlying Securities (based on the VWAP of the Common Shares on the date such Securities are submitted to the Transfer Agent) delivered for removal of the restrictive legend and subject to Section 2.2(c), $10 per Trading Day (increasing to $20 per Trading Day five (5) Trading Days after such damages have begun to accrue) for each Trading Day after the Legend Removal Date until such book-entry statement is delivered without a legend or notation and (ii) if the Company fails to (a) issue and deliver (or cause to be delivered) to a Purchaser by the Legend Removal Date a book-entry statement representing the Securities so delivered to the Company by such Purchaser that is free from all restrictive and other legends and (b) if after the Legend Removal Date such Purchaser purchases (in an open market transaction or otherwise) Common Shares to deliver in satisfaction of a sale by such Purchaser of all or any portion of the number of Common Shares, or a sale of a number of Common Shares equal to all or any portion of the number of Common Shares that such Purchaser anticipated receiving from the Company without any restrictive legend, then, an amount equal to the excess of such Purchaser’s total purchase price (including brokerage commissions and other out-of-pocket expenses, if any) for the Common Shares so purchased (including brokerage commissions and other out-of-pocket expenses, if any) (the “Buy-In Price”) over the product of (A) such number of Underlying Securities that the Company was required to deliver to such Purchaser by the Legend Removal Date multiplied by (B) the average of the closing sale prices of the Common Shares on any Trading Day during the period commencing on the date of the delivery by such Purchaser to the Company of the applicable Underlying Securities (as the case may be) and ending on the date of such delivery and payment under this clause (ii). For purposes of this Agreement, “VWAP” means, for any date, the price determined by the first of the following clauses that applies: (a) if the Common Shares are then listed or quoted on a Trading Market, the daily volume weighted average price of the Common Shares for such date (or the nearest preceding date) on the Trading Market on which the Common Shares are then listed or quoted as reported by Bloomberg L.P. (based on a Trading Day from 9:30 a.m. (New York City time) to 4:02 p.m. (New York City time)), (b) if OTCQB or OTCQX is not a Trading Market, the volume weighted average price of the Common Shares for such date (or the nearest preceding date) on OTCQB or OTCQX as applicable, (c) if the Common Shares are not then listed or quoted for trading on OTCQB or OTCQX and if prices for the Common Shares are then reported on the Pink Open Market (or a similar organization or agency succeeding to its functions of reporting prices), the most recent bid price per share of the Common Shares so reported, or (d) in all other cases, the fair market value of a share of Common Shares as determined by an independent appraiser selected in good faith by the Purchasers of a majority in interest of the Securities then outstanding and reasonably acceptable to the Company, the fees and expenses of which shall be paid by the Company.

(e) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, any failure of the Company to file a registration statement or any amendment or supplement thereto or to cause any such document to become or remain effective or usable within or for any particular period of time as provided in Section 2.2(c) or Section 2.2(d) or otherwise in this Agreement, due to reasons that are not reasonably within the Company’s control (including, for the avoidance of doubt, bona fide delays related to services to be provided by third parties including the Company’s auditors or advisors), or due to any refusal of the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) to permit a registration statement or prospectus to become or remain effective or to be used because of unresolved SEC comments thereon (or on any documents incorporated therein by reference) despite the Company’s good faith and commercially reasonable efforts to resolve those comments, shall not be a breach of this Agreement.

The Purchasers shall have no obligation with respect to any fees or with respect to any claims made by or on behalf of other persons or entities for fees of a type contemplated in this Section that may be due in connection with the transactions contemplated by the Transaction Documents.
4. Covenants of the Company
4.1 Use of Proceeds. The Company shall use the proceeds of the sale and issuance of the Notes for the operation of its business, including working capital and general corporate purposes.
4.2 Reservation of Shares. As of the Closing, the Company shall have reserved from its duly authorized capital stock not less than (i) 100% of the maximum number of Conversion Shares initially issuable upon conversion of the Notes (assuming for purposes hereof that the Notes are convertible at the initial Conversion Price (as defined in the Notes) and without taking into account any limitations on the conversion of the Notes set forth in the Notes), and (ii) 100% of the maximum number of Preferred Conversion Shares initially issuable upon conversion of the Preferred Shares (without taking into account any limitations on the conversion of the Preferred Shares set forth therein). If at any time while the Notes or the Preferred Shares remain outstanding the Company does not have a sufficient number of authorized and unreserved Common Shares to satisfy its obligation to reserve for issuance upon conversion of the Notes or conversion of the Preferred Shares at least a number of Common Shares equal to the Conversion Shares or the Preferred Conversion Shares (an “Authorized Share Failure”), then the Company shall promptly take all action necessary to increase the Company’s authorized Common Shares to an amount sufficient to allow the Company to reserve the Conversion Shares or the Preferred Conversion Shares. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing sentence, as soon as practicable after the date of the occurrence of an Authorized Share Failure, but in no event later than sixty (60) days after the occurrence of such Authorized Share Failure, the Company shall hold a meeting of its stockholders for the approval of an increase in the number of authorized Common Shares. In connection with such meeting, the Company shall provide each stockholder with a proxy statement and shall use its best efforts to solicit its stockholders’ approval of such increase in authorized Common Shares and to cause its board of directors to recommend to the stockholders that they approve such proposal.
4.3 Additional Indebtedness. At all times while any Notes remain outstanding, the Company shall not, without the written consent of the holders of a majority of the aggregate principal amount outstanding under the Notes, issue any additional debt that ranks pari passu, or senior to, the Notes, other than debt incurred in connection with acceptance of merchant-cash-advances or similar financing instruments, including under the Celtic Agreement, the WebBank Agreement, the Pearl Agreement, and the Cloudfund Agreement, provided however, that such debt shall not be permitted to exceed $1,000,000 at any one point in time.
9 |
4.4 Limitations on Certain Transactions. At all times while any Notes remain outstanding, the Company shall not, directly or indirectly, without the written consent of Purchasers holding greater than fifty percent (50%) of the aggregate principal amount of the Notes outstanding at such time (such consent not to be unreasonably withheld): (a) change the nature of its business; (b) sell, divest, or change the structure of any material assets of the Company, other than in the ordinary course of business; (c) enter into any Variable Rate Transactions; or (d) accept merchant-cash-advances or similar financing instruments in excess of $1,000,000 at any one point in time. For purposes of this Agreement, a “Variable Rate Transaction” shall mean a transaction in which the Company (i) issues or sells any debt or equity securities that are convertible into, exchangeable or exercisable for, or include the right to receive, additional Common Shares either (A) at a conversion price, exercise price or exchange rate or other price that is based upon, and/or varies with, the trading prices of or quotations for the Common Shares at any time after the initial issuance of such debt or equity securities or (B) with a conversion, exercise or exchange price that is subject to being reset at some future date after the initial issuance of such debt or equity security or upon the occurrence of specified or contingent events directly or indirectly related to the business of the Company or the market for the Common Shares or (ii) enters into, or effects a transaction under, any agreement, including, but not limited to, an equity line of credit, whereby the Company may issue securities at a future determined price; provided for the avoidance of doubt, “Variable Rate Transaction” shall not include any issuance of any Securities hereunder or under any Transaction Documents and/or any issuance of securities upon the exercise, exchange of or conversion of any Securities issued hereunder or under any Transaction Document. Any Purchaser shall be entitled to obtain injunctive relief against the Company to preclude any such issuance, which remedy shall be in addition to any right to collect damages.
4.5 Other Covenants. The Company covenants to the Purchasers that, so long as the Notes remain outstanding, the Company shall:
(a) (i) preserve, renew and maintain in full force and effect its corporate or organizational existence and (ii) take all reasonable action to maintain all rights, privileges and franchises necessary or desirable in the normal conduct of its business, except, in each case, where the failure to do so could not reasonably be expected to have a material adverse effect on the Company and its business;
(b) comply in all material respects with (i) all of the terms and provisions of its organizational documents; (ii) its obligations under its material contracts and agreements; and (iii) all laws and orders applicable to it and its business, except where the failure to do so could not reasonably be expected to have a material adverse effect on the Company and its business;
(c) pay, discharge or otherwise satisfy at or before maturity or before they become delinquent, as the case may be, all the Company’s material obligations of whatever nature, except where the amount or validity thereof is currently being contested in good faith by appropriate proceedings, and reserves in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States with respect thereto have been provided on its books; and
(d) upon the request of a Purchaser, promptly execute and deliver such further instruments and do or cause to be done such further acts as may be necessary or advisable to carry out the intent and purposes of the Transaction Documents.

12 |
8. Other Agreements of the Parties
8.1 Right of Participation. Subject to the terms and conditions contained in this Section 8.1, and for so long as the Notes are outstanding, the Company grants to each Purchaser the right of participation to purchase its pro rata portion of up to thirty (30%) percent of any proposed sale by the Company of Common Shares or other securities or equity linked debt obligations, except in connection with (i) full or partial consideration in connection with a strategic merger, acquisition, consolidation or purchase of substantially all of the securities or assets of a corporation or other entity; (ii) the Company’s issuance of securities in connection with strategic license agreements and other partnering arrangements so long as such issuances are not for the purpose of raising capital; (iii) the Company’s issuance of Common Shares or the issuance or grant of options to purchase Common Shares or other equity based compensation to employees, directors or consultants pursuant to the Company’s long-term incentive plan; (iv) as a result of the exercise of warrants currently outstanding; or (v) the IPO (as defined herein) (each, an “Excluded Issuance”). A Purchaser’s pro rata portion for purposes of this Section 8.1 is the ratio that (x) the Purchaser’s Loan Amount, bears to (y) the aggregate Loan Amount under the Offering. In connection with the right of participation, Purchasers shall be given not less than ten (10) days’ prior written notice of any proposed sale by the Company, which notice shall describe in reasonable detail the proposed terms of such proposed sale, the amount of proceeds intended to be raised thereunder and the parties through or with whom such proposed sale is proposed to be effected and shall include a term sheet and transaction documents relating thereto as an attachment. Purchasers who fail to notify the Company in writing that they intend to exercise such participation right within ten (10) days after receipt of such written notice will have no claim or right with respect to such particular offering.
8.2 Most Favored Nation. If at any time from the Effective Date until the payment in full of the Notes, the Company completes a subsequent financing of securities that are substantially equivalent to those issued pursuant to the Offering (and for certainty, excluding any Excluded Issuance) with another individual or entity (“Third Party”) on terms that are, on a whole, more favorable to the Third Party than the terms of the Offering, the Company shall give not less than ten (10) days’ prior written notice to each Purchaser of such proposed subsequent financing. In the event the Purchaser agrees that the terms of the subsequent financing are more favorable than the terms under the Offering and notifies the Company during such 10-day period prior to the closing of the subsequent financing, then: (i) effective upon the closing of such subsequent financing, the terms of the Securities then held by Purchaser and this Agreement (collectively, “Present Terms”) shall automatically be amended by (x) substituting the form, mix and Present Terms of such with those of the securities issued in the subsequent financing (the “Subsequent Financing Terms”) and (y) incorporating by reference, mutatis mutandis, the Subsequent Financing Terms in lieu of the Present Terms; and (ii) thereafter, upon the reasonable request of the Company or Purchaser, the parties shall reasonably cooperate with each other in order to further or better evidence or effect such substitution(s) and amendment(s), and to otherwise carry out the intent and purposes of this Section, including the physical exchange of securities.
8.3 IPO. The Company agrees to use its commercially reasonable efforts to consummate its initial public offering (“IPO”) on or before the two hundred eighty-fourth (284th) day from the date hereof. In the event the IPO is consummated on or before the one hundred eighty-fourth (184th) day from the date hereof, the value of the number of Preferred Conversion Shares underlying the Preferred Shares to be issued to each Purchaser pursuant to Section 1.2 herein shall decrease from one-hundred percent (100%) to sixty percent (60%) of such Purchaser’s Loan Amount. The Company agrees to use its commercially reasonable efforts to cause the filing of a registration statement with the SEC covering the resale of the Underlying Securities within sixty (60) days after the date of the closing of the IPO and to cause such registration statement to become effective as soon as possible thereafter. Notwithstanding the foregoing sentence, if the Company furnishes to holders of the Underlying Securities a certificate signed by the Company’s chief executive officer stating that in the good faith judgment of the Company’s board of directors it would be materially detrimental to the Company and its stockholders for such registration statement to either become effective because such action would (i) materially interfere with a significant acquisition, corporate reorganization, or other similar transaction involving the Company; (ii) require premature disclosure of material information that the Company has a bona fide business purpose for preserving as confidential; or (iii) render the Company unable to comply with requirements under the 1933 Act or the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, then the Company shall have the right to defer taking action with respect to such filing for a period of not more than an additional sixty (60) days.
13 |
8.4 Lock-Up. The Purchaser agrees to enter into a Lock-Up Agreement in the form appended hereto as Exhibit “E” in which the Purchaser covenants and agrees that it will not, for a period commencing on the date hereof and ending 90 days following consummation of the IPO, directly or indirectly, offer, sell, contract to sell, lend, swap, or enter into any other agreement to transfer the economic consequences of, or otherwise dispose of or deal with, or publicly announce any intention to offer, sell, contract to sell, grant or sell any option to purchase, hypothecate, pledge, transfer, assign, purchase any option or contract to sell, lend, swap or enter into any agreement to transfer the economic consequences of, or otherwise dispose of or deal with, whether through the facilities of a stock exchange, by private placement or otherwise, any Securities held by the Purchaser, unless: (i) they first obtain the written consent of the Company; or (ii) there occurs a take-over bid or similar transaction involving a change of control of the Company.
8.5 Amendments. The Purchaser agrees and covenants that at any time and from time to time that any revision is required to the terms of the Preferred Shares as is determined to be necessary to conform to any of the requirements imposed by The Nasdaq Capital Market (the “Nasdaq”) in order to list the Company’s securities on the Nasdaq or such other stock exchange chosen by the Company, it will promptly execute and deliver to the Company such further documents and take such further action as the Company may reasonably require in order to carry out such required amendment.

A Utah-charted industrial bank; and (iii) the indebtedness outstanding from time to time under the second amended and restated promissory note dated October 14, 2022 issued by the Company to certain vendors in connection with the acquisition of TruMed Limited. “Senior” as used herein shall be deemed to mean that, in the event of any default in the payment of the obligations represented by this Promissory Note (after giving effect to “cure” provisions, if any) or of any liquidation, insolvency, bankruptcy, reorganization, or similar proceedings relating to the Company, all sums payable on this Promissory Note shall first be paid in full, with interest, if any, before any payment is made upon any other indebtedness, now outstanding or hereinafter incurred, and, in any such event, any payment or distribution of any character which shall be made in respect of any other indebtedness of the Company, shall be paid over to the Lender (and other Holders of Notes) for application to the payment hereof, unless and until the obligations under this Promissory Note (which shall mean the Principal Amount and other obligations arising out of, premium, if any, interest on, and any costs and expenses payable under, this Promissory Note) shall have been paid and satisfied in full.

2. Conversion of this Promissory Note.
2.1 Voluntary Conversion Right: This Promissory Note, including the outstanding Principal Amount under this Promissory Note, together with all applicable accrued and unpaid interest hereunder (the sum of such Principal Amount and such interest being hereinafter referred to as the “Amount Due and Payable”), shall be convertible, in whole or in part, into fully paid and non-assessable common shares in the capital of the Company (“Common Shares”), at the option of the Lender (subject to the conversion limitations set forth in Section 2.4 hereof) and at a conversion price equal to USD$6.00 per Common Share, subject to adjustment (the “Conversion Price”).
2.2 Notice of Conversion: The Lender shall effect conversions by delivering to the Company a Notice of Conversion, the form of which is attached hereto as Annex A (each, a “Notice of Conversion”), specifying therein the Principal Amount of this Promissory Note 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 Lender shall not be required to physically surrender this Promissory Note to the Company. Conversions hereunder shall have the effect of lowering the outstanding Principal Amount of this Promissory Note in an amount equal to the applicable conversion. The Lender and the Company shall maintain records showing the Principal Amount(s) converted and the date of such conversion(s). In the event of any dispute or discrepancy, the records of the Lender shall be controlling and determinative in the absence of manifest error. The Lender, and any assignee by acceptance of this Promissory Note, acknowledge and agree that, by reason of the provisions of this paragraph, following conversion of a portion of this Promissory Note, the unpaid and unconverted Principal Amount of this Promissory Note may be less than the amount stated on the face hereof.
2.3 Reservation of Common Shares: As of the date hereof, the Company has reserved and the Company shall continue to reserve and keep available at all times a sufficient number of Common Shares for the purpose of enabling the Company to issue Common Shares pursuant to Section 2.1 of this Promissory Note, and shall earmark such reserved shares to each Holder based on such Holder’s pro rata allocation of Applicable Conversion Shares. The Company covenants that all Common Shares that shall be so issuable shall, upon issue, be duly authorized, validly issued, fully paid and nonassessable and, if a registration statement covering the resale of the Applicable Conversion Shares is then effective under the 1933 Act, shall be registered for public resale in accordance with such registration statement.
2.4 Holder’s Conversion Limitations: The Company shall not effect any conversion of this Promissory Note, and the Lender shall not have the right to convert any portion of this Promissory Note, to the extent that after giving effect to the conversion set forth on the applicable Notice of Conversion, the Lender (together with the Lender’s Affiliates, and any other Persons acting as a group together with the Lender or any of the Lender’s Affiliates (such Persons, “Attribution Parties”)) would beneficially own in excess of the Beneficial Ownership Limitation (as defined below). For purposes of the foregoing sentence, the number of Common Shares beneficially owned by the Lender and its Affiliates and Attribution Parties shall include the number of Common Shares issuable upon conversion of this Promissory Note with respect to which such determination is being made, but shall exclude the number of Common Shares which are issuable upon (i) conversion of the remaining, unconverted principal amount of this Promissory Note beneficially owned by the Lender or any of its Affiliates or Attribution Parties and (ii) exercise or conversion of the unexercised or unconverted portion of any other securities of the Company subject to a limitation on conversion or exercise analogous to the limitation contained herein (including, without limitation, any other Notes or the Warrants) beneficially owned by the Lender or any of its Affiliates or Attribution Parties. Except as set forth in the preceding sentence, for purposes of this Section 2.4, beneficial ownership shall be calculated in accordance with Section 13(d) of the Exchange Act and the rules and regulations promulgated thereunder. To the extent that the limitation contained in this Section 2.4 applies, the determination of whether this Promissory Note is convertible (in relation to other securities owned by the Lender together with any Affiliates and Attribution Parties) and of which principal amount of this Promissory Note is convertible shall be in the sole discretion of the Lender, and the submission of a Notice of Conversion shall be deemed to be the Lender’s determination of whether this Promissory Note may be converted (in relation to other securities owned by the Lender together with any Affiliates or Attribution Parties) and which principal amount of this Promissory Note is convertible, in each case subject to the Beneficial Ownership Limitation. To ensure compliance with this restriction, the Lender will be deemed to represent to the Company 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 Company 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 2.4, in determining the number of outstanding Common Shares, the Lender may rely on the number of outstanding Common Shares as stated in the most recent of the following: (i) the Company’s most recent periodic or annual report filed with the Commission, as the case may be, (ii) a more recent public announcement by the Company, or (iii) a more recent written notice by the Company or the Company’s transfer agent setting forth the number of Common Shares outstanding. Upon the written or oral request of the Lender, the Company shall within one Trading Day confirm orally and in writing to the Lender the number of Common Shares then outstanding. In any case, the number of outstanding Common Shares shall be determined after giving effect to the conversion or exercise of securities of the Company, including this Promissory Note, by the Lender or its Affiliates since the date as of which such number of outstanding Common Shares was reported. The “Beneficial Ownership Limitation” shall be 4.99% of the number of Common Shares outstanding immediately after giving effect to the issuance of shares of Common Stock issuable upon conversion of this Promissory Note held by the Lender. The Lender, upon notice to the Company, may increase or decrease the Beneficial Ownership Limitation provisions of this Section 2.4, provided that the Beneficial Ownership Limitation in no event exceeds 9.99% of the number of Common Shares outstanding immediately after giving effect to the issuance of Common Shares upon conversion of this Promissory Note held by the Lender and the Beneficial Ownership Limitation provisions of this Section 2.4 shall continue to apply. Any increase in the Beneficial Ownership Limitation will not be effective until the 61st day after such notice is delivered to the Company. 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 2.4 to correct this paragraph (or any portion hereof) which 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 of this Promissory Note.

2.5 Certain Adjustments.
2.5.1 The Conversion Price and number and kind of shares or other securities to be issued upon conversion shall be subject to adjustment from time to time upon the happening of certain events while this conversion right remains outstanding, as follows:
(a) Merger, Sale of Assets, etc. If the Company at any time shall consolidate with or merge into or sell or convey all or substantially all its assets to any other entity, this Promissory Note, as to the outstanding principal portion thereof and accrued interest thereon, shall thereafter be deemed to evidence the right to convert into such number and kind of shares or other securities and property as would have been issuable or distributable on account of such consolidation, merger, sale or conveyance, upon or with respect to the securities subject to the conversion right immediately prior to such consolidation, merger, sale, or conveyance. The foregoing provision shall similarly apply to successive transactions of a similar nature by any such successor or purchaser. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the anti-dilution provisions of this Section shall apply to such securities of such successor or purchaser after any such consolidation, merger, sale, or conveyance.
(b) Reclassification, etc. If the Company at any time shall, by reclassification or otherwise, change the Common Shares into the same or a different number of securities of any class or classes, this Promissory Note, as to the outstanding principal portion thereof and accrued interest thereon, shall thereafter be deemed to evidence the right to convert into an adjusted number of such securities and kind of securities as would have been issuable as the result of such change with respect to the Common Shares immediately prior to such reclassification or other change.
(c) Stock Splits, Combinations and Dividends. If the Common Shares are subdivided or combined into a greater or smaller number of Common Shares, or if a dividend is paid on the Common Shares in Common Shares, the Conversion Price shall be proportionately reduced in case of subdivision of shares or stock dividend or proportionately increased in the case of combination of shares, in each such case by the ratio which the total number of Common Shares outstanding immediately after such event bears to the total number of Common Shares outstanding immediately prior to such event.
(d) Subsequent Equity Sales. If, at any time while this Promissory Note is outstanding, the Company sells or grants any option to purchase or sells or grants any right to reprice, or otherwise disposes of or issues (or announces any sale, grant or any option to purchase or other disposition), any Common Shares (other than in connection with the issuance of options or other compensation securities pursuant to the Company’s long-term incentive plan, or the issuance of Common Shares or other securities in connection with the exchange, transfer, conversion or exercise rights of existing outstanding securities or existing commitments to issue securities) entitling any Person to acquire Common Shares at an effective price per share that is lower than the then Conversion Price (such lower price, the “Base Conversion Price” and such issuances, collectively, a “Dilutive Issuance”) (if the holder of the Common Shares so issued shall at any time, whether by operation of purchase price adjustments, reset provisions, floating conversion, exercise or exchange prices or otherwise, or due to warrants, options or rights per share which are issued in connection with such issuance, be entitled to receive Common Shares at an effective price per share that is lower than the Conversion Price, such issuance shall be deemed to have occurred for less than the Conversion Price on such date of the Dilutive Issuance), then the Conversion Price shall be reduced to such lower Dilutive Issuance price. Such adjustment shall be made whenever such Common Shares or Convertible Securities are issued. If the Company enters into a variable rate transaction, the Company shall be deemed to have issued Common Shares at the lowest possible conversion price at which such securities may be converted or exercised. The Company shall notify the Lender in writing, no later than the Trading Day following the issuance of any Common Shares subject to this Section 2.5.1(d), indicating therein the applicable issuance price, or applicable reset price, exchange price, conversion price and other pricing terms (such notice, the “Dilutive Issuance Notice”). For purposes of clarification, whether or not the Company provides a Dilutive Issuance Notice pursuant to this Section 2.5.1(d), upon the occurrence of any Dilutive Issuance, the Lender is entitled to receive a number of Conversion Shares based upon the Base Conversion Price on or after the date of such Dilutive Issuance, regardless of whether the Lender accurately refers to the Base Conversion Price in the Notice of Conversion.
A-5 |
2.5.2 No adjustments in the Conversion Price shall be required if such adjustment is less than U.S. $0.0001. All calculations under this Section 2.5 shall be made to the nearest cent or to the nearest 1/100th of a share, as the case may be.
2.5.3 Whenever the Conversion Price is adjusted pursuant to any of Section 2.5, the Company shall promptly mail to the Lender a notice setting forth the Conversion Price after such adjustment and setting forth a brief statement of the facts requiting such adjustment.
2.5.4 If (A) the Company shall declare a dividend (or any other distribution) on the Common Shares; (B) the Company shall declare a special nonrecurring cash dividend on or a redemption of the Common Shares; (C) the Company shall authorize the granting to all holders of the Common Shares rights or warrants to subscribe for or purchase any shares of capital stock of any class or of any rights; (D) the approval of any stockholders of the Company shall be required in connection with any reclassification of the Common Shares, any consolidation or merger to which the Company is a party, any sale or transfer of all or substantially all of the assets of the Company, or any compulsory share exchange whereby the Common Shares are converted into other securities, cash or property; (E) the Company shall authorize the voluntary or involuntary dissolution, liquidation or winding up of the affairs of the Company; then, in each case, the Company shall cause to be filed at each office or agency maintained for the purpose of conversion of any portion of the principal amount and interest outstanding under this Promissory Note, and shall cause to be mailed to the Lender at its last address as it shall appear upon the stock books of the Company, at least 20 calendar days prior to the applicable record or effective date hereinafter specified, a notice stating (x) the date on which a record is to be taken for the purpose of such dividend, distribution, redemption, rights or warrants, or if a record is not to be taken, the date as of which the holders of the Common Shares of record to be entitled to such dividend, distributions, redemption, rights or warrants are to be determined or (y) the date on which such reclassification, consolidation, merger, sale, transfer or share exchange is expected to become effective or close, and the date as of which it is expected that holders of the Common Shares of record shall be entitled to exchange their Common Shares for securities, cash or other property deliverable upon such reclassification, consolidation, merger, sale, transfer or share exchange; provided, however, that the failure to mail such notice or any defect therein or in the mailing thereof shall not affect the validity of the corporate action required to be specified in such notice.
2.5.5 In addition to any other rights of the Lender set forth herein, in case of any (1) merger or consolidation of the Company with or into another Person that would constitute a Change of Control Transaction (as defined in herein), or (2) sale, directly or indirectly, by the Company of more than one-half of the assets of the Company (on an as valued basis) in one or a series of related transactions, or (3) tender or other offer or exchange (whether by the Company or another Person) pursuant to which holders of Common Shares are permitted to tender or exchange their Common Shares for other securities, stock, cash or property of the Company or another Person: then the Lender shall have the right, but not the obligation, to (A) convert the then aggregate amount of principal and interest outstanding under this Promissory Note into the shares of stock and other securities, cash, and property receivable upon or deemed to be held by holders of Common Shares following such merger, consolidation or sale, and the Lender shall be entitled upon such event or series of related events to receive such amount of securities, cash and property as the Common Shares into which such aggregate amount of principal and interest outstanding under this Promissory Note could have been converted immediately prior to such merger, consolidation or sale would have been entitled, (B) in the case of a merger or consolidation, (x) require the surviving entity to issue convertible debt with aggregate principal amount equal to the then aggregate amount of principal outstanding under this Promissory Note, plus all accrued and unpaid interest and other amounts owing thereon, which convertible debt shall have terms identical (including with respect to conversion) to the terms of this Promissory Note and shall be entitled to all of the rights and privileges of the Lender as set forth herein and the agreements pursuant to which this Promissory Note was issued (including, without limitation, as such rights relate to the acquisition, transferability, registration and listing of such shares or other securities issuable upon conversion thereof), and (y) simultaneously with the issuance of such convertible debt, shall have the right to convert such debt only into shares and other securities, cash and property receivable upon or deemed to be held by holders of Common Shares following such merger or consolidation, or (C) in the event of an exchange or tender offer or other transaction contemplated by clause (3) of this Section, tender or exchange the then outstanding aggregate amount of principal and interest under this Promissory Note for such securities, stock, cash and other property receivable upon or deemed to be held by holders of Common Shares that have tendered or exchanged their Common Shares following such tender or exchange, and the Lender shall be entitled upon such exchange or tender to receive such amount of securities, cash and property as the Common Shares into which the then outstanding aggregate amount of principal and interest under this Promissory Note could have been converted (taking into account all then accrued and unpaid dividends) immediately prior to such tender or exchange. The terms of any such merger, sale, consolidation, tender or exchange shall include such terms so as to continue to give the Lender the right to receive the securities, cash and property set forth in this Section upon any conversion or redemption following such event. This provision shall similarly apply to successive such events.
A-6 |
3. Obligations Upon Issuance of Applicable Conversion Shares.
3.1 Applicable Conversion Shares. The Common Shares issuable pursuant to the conversion of this Promissory Note shall be referred to as the “Applicable Conversion Shares”. The number of Applicable Conversion Shares issuable upon a conversion hereunder shall be determined by the quotient obtained by dividing (x) the outstanding Amount Due and Payable, to be converted by (y) the Conversion Price.
3.2 Delivery of Applicable Conversion Shares Upon Conversion. Not later than two (2) Business Days after each Conversion Date (the “Share Delivery Date”), the Company shall deliver, or cause to be delivered, to the Lender (A) the Applicable Conversion Shares representing the number of Applicable Conversion Shares being acquired upon the conversion of a portion or all of this Promissory Note and (B) a bank check in the amount of accrued and unpaid interest or it may deliver such sum by wire transfer.
3.3 Confirmation of Promissory Note Repayment. Upon issuance of the Applicable Conversion Shares in the event of the conversion of the entire Amount Due and Payable pursuant to Section 2.1 herein, the Lender shall confirm to the Company in writing (e-mail being sufficient) that the Promissory Note has been paid in full and upon such confirmation the Company shall forthwith issue and deliver to the Lender book-entry statements evidencing the Applicable Conversion Shares.
3.4 Failure to Deliver Applicable Conversion Shares. If, in the case of any Notice of Conversion, such Applicable Conversion Shares are not delivered to or as directed by the Lender by the Share Delivery Date, the Lender shall be entitled to elect by written notice to the Company at any time on or before its receipt of such Applicable Conversion Shares, to rescind such Conversion, in which event the Company shall promptly return to the Lender any original Promissory Note delivered to the Company and the Lender shall promptly return to the Company the Applicable Conversion Shares issued to such Lender pursuant to the rescinded Conversion Notice.
3.5 Obligation Absolute; Partial Liquidated Damages. The Company’s obligations to issue and deliver the Applicable Conversion Shares upon conversion of this Promissory Note in accordance with the terms hereof are absolute and unconditional, irrespective of any action or inaction by the Lender 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 Lender or any other Person of any obligation to the Company or any violation or alleged violation of law by the Lender or any other Person, and irrespective of any other circumstance which might otherwise limit such obligation of the Company to the Lender in connection with the issuance of such Applicable Conversion Shares; provided, however, that such delivery shall not operate as a waiver by the Company of any such action the Company may have against the Lender. In the event the Lender shall elect to convert any or all of the outstanding Principal Amount hereof, the Company may not refuse conversion based on any claim that the Lender or anyone associated or affiliated with the Lender has been engaged in any violation of law, agreement or for any other reason, unless an injunction from a court, on notice to Lender, restraining and or enjoining conversion of all or part of this Promissory Note shall have been sought and obtained, and the Company posts a surety bond for the benefit of the Lender in the amount of 125% of the outstanding Principal Amount of this Promissory Note, which 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 Lender to the extent it obtains judgment. In the absence of such injunction, the Company shall issue the Applicable Conversion Shares or, if applicable, cash, upon a properly noticed conversion. If the Company fails for any reason to deliver to the Lender such Applicable Conversion Shares pursuant to Section 3.2 by the Share Delivery Date, the Company shall pay to the Lender, in cash, as liquidated damages and not as a penalty, for each $1,000 of Principal Amount being converted, $5 per Business Day (increasing to $15 per Business Day on the fifth (5th) Business Day after such liquidated damages begin to accrue) for each Business Day after such Share Delivery Date until such Applicable Conversion Shares are delivered or Lender rescinds such conversion. Nothing herein shall limit the Lender’s right to pursue actual damages or declare an Event of Default pursuant to Section 5 hereof for the Company’s failure to deliver Applicable Conversion Shares within the period specified herein and the Lender 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 Lender from seeking to enforce damages pursuant to any other Section hereof or under applicable law.
A-7 |
3.6 Compensation for Buy-In on Failure to Timely Deliver Applicable Conversion Shares Upon Conversion: In addition to any other rights available to the Lender, if the Company fails for any reason to deliver to the Lender such Applicable Conversion Shares by the Share Delivery Date pursuant to Section 3.2, and if after such Share Delivery Date the Lender is required by its brokerage firm to purchase (in an open market transaction or otherwise), or the Lender’s brokerage firm otherwise purchases, Common Shares to deliver in satisfaction of a sale by the Lender of the Applicable Conversion Shares which the Lender was entitled to receive upon the conversion relating to such Share Delivery Date (a “Buy-In”), then the Company shall (A) pay in cash to the Lender (in addition to any other remedies available to or elected by the Lender) the amount, if any, by which (x) the Lender’s total purchase price (including any brokerage commissions) for the Common Shares so purchased exceeds (y) the product of (1) the aggregate number of Common Shares that the Lender 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 Lender, either reissue (if surrendered) this Promissory Note in a principal amount equal to the Principal Amount of the attempted conversion (in which case such conversion shall be deemed rescinded) or deliver to the Lender the number of Common Shares that would have been issued if the Company had timely complied with its delivery requirements under Section 3.2. For example, if the Lender purchases Common Shares having a total purchase price of $11,000 to cover a Buy-In with respect to an attempted conversion of this Promissory Note with respect to which the actual sale price of the Applicable Conversion Shares (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 Company shall be required to pay the Lender $1,000. The Lender shall provide the Company written notice indicating the amounts payable to the Lender in respect of the Buy-In and, upon request of the Company, evidence of the amount of such loss. Nothing herein shall limit the Lender’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 Company’s failure to timely deliver Applicable Conversion Shares upon conversion of this Promissory Note as required pursuant to the terms hereof.
3.7 No Fractional Shares: No fractional share shall be issued in connection with the issuance of the Applicable Conversion Shares.
3.8 Termination and Discharge. Upon the conversion or payment of all of the Amount Due and Payable under this Promissory Note and the issuance of Applicable Conversion Shares in respect of any conversion, this Promissory Note shall terminate and the Company shall be released and discharged by the Lender from all of the Company’s obligations and agreements hereunder. Further, the Lender shall execute and deliver all such documents as the Company may reasonably request to effect such release, discharge and reconveyance of security.
4. Required Lender Consents.
4.1 Amendment of Notes: Any term or provision contained in the Notes may be amended or waived pursuant to a written agreement signed by the Company and Lenders holding greater than fifty (50%) percent of the aggregate principal amount of the Notes outstanding at such time (the “Required Lenders”). Neither this Promissory Note nor any term hereof may be amended, waived, discharged or terminated other than by a written instrument signed by the Company and the Required Lenders.
4.2 Additional Debt: While any portion of the Principal Amount is outstanding, the Company shall not, without the written consent of the Required Lenders, issue any additional debt that ranks pari passu with, or senior to, the Notes other than debt incurred in connection with acceptance of merchant-cash-advances or similar financing instruments, including under the Celtic Agreement, the WebBank Agreement, the Pearl Agreement and the Cloudfund Agreement, provided however, that such debt shall not be permitted to exceed $1,000,000 at any one point in time.
4.3 Limitations on Certain Transactions: While any portion of the Principal Amount is outstanding, the Company shall not, without the written consent of the Required Lenders (which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld): (a) change the nature of the business of the Company; (b) sell, divest or change the structure of any material assets of the Company other than in the ordinary course of business; (c) enter into any variable rate transactions; or (d) accept any merchant-cash-advances or similar financing instruments in excess of $1,000,000 at any one point in time.
4.4 Most Favored Nation: While this Promissory Note or any Principal Amount, interest or fees or expenses due hereunder remain outstanding and unpaid, the Lender shall be entitled to accept the securities and terms of any Subsequent Financing and exercise the most favored nation right pursuant to the terms and conditions set forth in Section 8.2 of the Purchase Agreement.
A-8 |
5. EVENTS OF DEFAULT.
5.1 Meaning of the words “Event of Default”: The following shall constitute events of default (each individually an “Event of Default”):
5.1.1 | default in the payment, when due or payable, of an obligation to pay interest or principal under any of the Notes, which default is not cured by payment in full of the amount due within thirty (30) days from the date of such default in payment; |
5.1.2 | filing of a petition in bankruptcy or the commencement of any proceedings under any bankruptcy laws by or against the Company, which filing or proceeding, is not dismissed within sixty (60) days after the filing or commencement thereof; |
5.1.3 | if any act, matter or thing is done by the Company toward the termination of, or any action or proceeding is launched or taken to terminate the corporate existence of the Company, whether by dissolution, liquidation, winding-up or otherwise; |
5.1.4 | failure of the Company to perform or observe any material covenant, term, provision, condition, agreement or obligation of the Company under this Promissory Note, if such failure continues uncured to the satisfaction of the Lender, acting reasonably, for a period of thirty (30) days after notice from the Lender of such failure. For greater certainty, the inclusion of any legend on Common Shares issued upon conversion of any Amount Due and Payable that is required pursuant to applicable securities laws shall not be considered an Event of Default); or |
5.1.5 | the issuance by the Company of any securities, other than securities issued pursuant to the terms of the Purchase Agreement, that include variable rate anti-dilution provisions. |
5.2 Continuing Event of Default: If an Event of Default shall occur and be continuing, the Required Lenders may, at their option, by written notice to the Company declare this Promissory Note and all other Notes issued pursuant to the Purchase Agreement to be in default, at which point the Principal Amount outstanding on the date of such written notice shall increase to 125% of the Principal Amount then outstanding, and the interest rate shall increase to 15% or the maximum rate permitted under applicable law until such Event of Default is cured, if capable of being cured. Notwithstanding the foregoing, in the event that an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing without cure, at the end of each calendar month thereafter until the Event of Default has been cured, the Lender shall be entitled to sweep the cash received in the bank accounts of the Company and its subsidiaries, as reasonably determined by the Lender and the Company, in an aggregate amount equal to 20% of the consolidated revenue of the Company and its subsidiaries during such calendar month (as determined by GAAP in the case of any dispute) (the “Revenue Sweep”). The Company agrees to execute and deliver such additional documents and will provide such additional information as may reasonably be required to carry out this Section; it being understood that (x) the Company shall use its best efforts to request that any of the applicable banks agree to any deposit account control agreement that may reasonably be required by the Lender; and (y) the Required Lenders shall be entitled to appoint a Holder or third party to act as collateral agent to effect the Revenue Sweep, including by distributing the applicable consolidated revenue to the Holders on a pro-rata basis.
6. Miscellaneous.
6.1 Transfer of Note: In addition to the restrictions set forth in the lock-up agreement required to be delivered by the Lender pursuant to Section 8.4 of the Purchase Agreement, this Promissory Note may not be transferred or assigned without the Company’s prior written consent other than a transfer or assignment to an Affiliate of the Lender. As used herein, the term “Affiliate” means an entity that directly or indirectly through one or more intermediaries, controls, or is controlled by, or is under common control with, the Lender.
6.2 Certain Waivers: Except to the extent set out in this Promissory Note, the Company hereby expressly and irrevocably waives presentment, demand, protest, notice of protest and any other formalities of any kind.
6.3 Usury: If it shall be found that any interest outstanding hereunder shall violate applicable laws governing usury, the applicable rate of interest outstanding hereunder shall be reduced to the maximum permitted rate of interest under such law.
6.4 Entire Agreement. This Promissory Note and the Purchase Agreement executed by the Lender in respect of this Promissory Note by and between the Lender and the Company, together with all other instruments, documents, and agreements referred to in the Purchase Agreement, constitute the full and entire understanding and agreement between the Company and the Lender with respect to the subject matter hereof and replace all other agreements between the Company and the Lender with respect to these matters including, without limitation, the term sheet outlining proposed terms of this Promissory Note.
6.5 Currency. All references to currency in this Promissory Note are to the lawful currency of the United States of America.
6.6 Governing Law. This Promissory Note and all actions arising out of or in connection with this Promissory Note shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of the province of Alberta and the laws of Canada applicable therein.
6.7 Counterparts. This Promissory Note may be executed in any number of counterparts, each of which is deemed an original, and all of which taken together constitute one and the same agreement. No counterpart of this Agreement shall be effective until each party has executed and delivered at least one counterpart. A counterpart may be delivered by facsimile, email attachment (of a PDF document), or other electronic means, including DocuSign, which shall be as effective as hand delivery of the original executed counterpart.

As promptly as practicable (but in any event within 5 days thereafter), the Corporation shall send each holder of Series 1 Shares written notice of such event. Upon receipt of such notice, each holder shall surrender to the Corporation the certificate or certificates representing the Series 1 Shares being converted, duly assigned or endorsed for transfer to the Corporation (or accompanied by duly executed share transfers relating thereto) or, if the certificate or certificates are lost, stolen or missing, accompanied by a statutory declaration as to loss executed by the holder. Upon the receipt by the Corporation of the surrender of such certificate(s) and accompanying materials, the Corporation shall as promptly as practicable (but in any event within 15 days thereafter) deliver to the relevant holder a certificate in such holder’s name (or the name of such holder’s nominee as stated in the written election) for the number of Common Shares to which such holder shall be entitled upon conversion of the applicable Series 1 Shares.

B-3 |
(c) Conversion Formula.
(i) | Subject to Section 3(c)(ii), the Series 1 Shares shall be convertible in accordance with Section 3(a) or 3(b) above into the number of Common Shares that results from dividing (X) the aggregate number of Common Shares being converted by (Y) the Conversion Price in effect at the time of conversion. |
(ii) | Notwithstanding the above, in the event that the Common Shares of the Corporation are listed on a U.S. national or regional securities exchange within six months of the Date of Issuance, the conversion formula set forth in Section 3(a)(a)(i) shall be adjusted such that the numerator (X) shall be the aggregate number of Common Shares being converted, multiplied by 0.6 and the denominator shall be (Y) the Conversion Price in effect at the time of conversion. |
(d) | Reservation of Common Shares. The Corporation shall, at all times when any Series 1 Shares are outstanding, reserve and keep available out of its authorized but unissued shares, solely for the purpose of issuance upon the conversion of the Series 1 Shares, such number of Common Shares issuable upon the conversion of all outstanding Series 1 Shares, taking into account any adjustment to such number of shares so issuable in accordance with Section 3(h). |
(e) | Share Certificates. The issuance of certificates for Common Shares upon conversion of Series 1 Shares shall be made without payment of additional consideration by, or other charge, cost or tax to, the holder in respect thereof. |
(f) | Fractional Shares. No fractional Common Share shall be issued upon conversion of the Series 1 Shares. In lieu of any fractional shares to which the holder would otherwise be entitled, the number of Common Shares to be issued upon conversion of the Preferred Shares shall be rounded to the nearest whole share. |
(g) | Waiver. Except as otherwise set forth in the Articles, any of the rights, powers, preferences and other terms of the Series 1 Shares may be waived on behalf of all holders of Series 1 Shares by the affirmative written consent or vote of the Requisite Holders. |
(h) | Adjustment for Reclassification, Exchange and Substitution. If at any time, or from time to time after the Date of Issuance, the Common Shares issuable upon the conversion of the Series 1 Shares are changed into the same or a different number of shares of any class or classes of stock, whether by recapitalization, reclassification or otherwise (other than by a reorganization, merger, or consolidation provided for elsewhere in this Section 3), then in any such event each holder of Series 1 Shares shall have the right thereafter to convert such shares into the kind and amount of shares and other securities and property receivable upon such reclassification, exchange or substitution or other change by holders of the number of Common Shares into which such Series 1 Shares could have been converted immediately prior to such reclassification, exchange or change, all subject to further adjustment as provided herein or with respect to such other securities or property by the terms thereof. |
(i) | Reorganizations, Mergers and Consolidations. If at any time, or from time to time, after the Date of Issuance, there is a reorganization of the Corporation (other than a reclassification, exchange or subdivision of shares provided for elsewhere in this Section 3) or a merger or consolidation of the Corporation with or into another corporation, then, as a part of such reorganization, merger or consolidation, provision shall be made so that the holders of the Series 1 Shares thereafter shall be entitled to receive, upon conversion of the Series 1 Shares, the number of shares or other securities or property of the Corporation, or of such successor corporation resulting from such reorganization, merger or consolidation, to which a holder of Common Shares deliverable upon conversion would have been entitled on such reorganization, merger or consolidation. In any such case, appropriate adjustment shall be made in the application of the provisions of this Section 3 with respect to the rights of the holders of Series 1 Shares after the reorganization, merger or consolidation to the end that the provisions of this Section 3 (including adjustment of the Conversion Price then in effect and number of shares issuable upon conversion of the Series 1 Shares) shall be applicable after that event and be as nearly equivalent to the provisions hereof as may be practicable. This Section 3(i) shall similarly apply to successive reorganizations, mergers and consolidations. |
