NOW, THEREFORE, IN CONSIDERATION of the mutual covenants contained in this Agreement, and for good and valuable consideration the receipt and adequacy of which are hereby acknowledged, the Holder and the Company hereby agree as follows:

 

1.             “Fundamental Transaction” Provisions in the Original Warrants. The Company and the Holder hereby consent and agree that Section 3(e) of the Original Warrants shall be amended and restated in their entirety, effective immediately following stockholder approval of (i) the issuance of the New Warrant Shares and (ii) issuance of shares of Common Stock issuable upon “alternative cashless exercise” under Section 2(c) of the 1st April 2024 Warrant, the 2nd April 2024 Warrant, the 3rd April 2024 Warrant, the 1st May 2024 Warrant and the 2nd May 2024 Warrant (“Stockholder Approval”):

 

e) Fundamental Transaction. If, at any time while this Warrant is outstanding, (i) the Company, directly or indirectly, in one or more related transactions effects any merger or consolidation of the Company with or into another Person, (ii) the Company (and all of its Subsidiaries, taken as a whole), directly or indirectly effects any sale, lease, license, assignment, transfer, conveyance or other disposition of all or substantially all of its assets in one or a series of related transactions, except to the extent subject to an adjustment pursuant to Section 3(a), (b), (c), or (d), (iii) any, direct or indirect, purchase offer, tender offer or exchange offer (whether by the Company or another Person) is completed pursuant to which holders of shares of Common Stock are permitted to sell, tender or exchange their shares for other securities, cash or property and has been accepted by the holders of 50% or more of the outstanding shares of Common Stock or 50% or more of the voting power of the Common Stock of the Company, (iv) the Company, directly or indirectly, in one or more related transactions effects any reclassification, reorganization or recapitalization of the Common Stock or any compulsory share exchange pursuant to which the Common Stock is effectively converted into or exchanged for other securities, cash or property, or (v) the Company, directly or indirectly, in one or more related transactions consummates a share purchase agreement or other business combination (including, without limitation, a reorganization, recapitalization, spin-off, merger or scheme of arrangement) with another Person or group of Persons whereby such other Person or group acquires 50% or more of the outstanding shares of Common Stock or 50% or more of the voting power of the Common Stock of the Company (each a “Fundamental Transaction”), then, upon any subsequent exercise of this Warrant, the Holder shall have the right to receive, for each Warrant Share that would have been issuable upon such exercise immediately prior to the occurrence of such Fundamental Transaction, at the option of the Holder (without regard to any limitation in Section 2(e) on the exercise of this Warrant), the number of shares of Common Stock of the successor or acquiring corporation or of the Company, if it is the surviving corporation, and any additional consideration (the “Alternate Consideration”) receivable as a result of such Fundamental Transaction by a holder of the number of shares of Common Stock for which this Warrant is exercisable immediately prior to such Fundamental Transaction (without regard to any limitation in Section 2(e) on the exercise of this Warrant). For purposes of any such exercise, the determination of the Exercise Price shall be appropriately adjusted to apply to such Alternate Consideration based on the amount of Alternate Consideration issuable in respect of one share of Common Stock in such Fundamental Transaction, and the Company shall apportion the Exercise Price among the Alternate Consideration in a reasonable manner reflecting the relative value of any different components of the Alternate Consideration. If holders of shares of Common Stock are given any choice as to the securities, cash or property to be received in a Fundamental Transaction, then the Holder shall be given the same choice as to the Alternate Consideration it receives upon any exercise of this Warrant following such Fundamental Transaction. The Company shall cause any successor entity in a Fundamental Transaction in which the Company is not the survivor (the “Successor Entity”) to assume in writing all of the obligations of the Company under this Warrant and the other Transaction Documents in accordance with the provisions of this Section 3(e) pursuant to written agreements in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to the Holder and approved by the Holder (without unreasonable delay) prior to such Fundamental Transaction and shall, at the option of the Holder, deliver to the Holder in exchange for this Warrant a security of the Successor Entity evidenced by a written instrument substantially similar in form and substance to this Warrant which is exercisable for a corresponding number of shares of capital stock of such Successor Entity (or its parent entity) equivalent to the shares of Common Stock acquirable and receivable upon exercise of this Warrant (without regard to any limitations on the exercise of this Warrant) prior to such Fundamental Transaction, and with an exercise price which applies the exercise price hereunder to such shares of capital stock (but taking into account the relative value of the shares of Common Stock pursuant to such Fundamental Transaction and the value of such shares of capital stock, such number of shares of capital stock and such exercise price being for the purpose of protecting the economic value of this Warrant immediately prior to the consummation of such Fundamental Transaction), and which is reasonably satisfactory in form and substance to the Holder. Upon the occurrence of any such Fundamental Transaction, the Successor Entity shall be added to the term “Company” under this Warrant (so that from and after the occurrence or consummation of such Fundamental Transaction, each and every provision of this Warrant and the other Transaction Documents referring to the “Company” shall refer instead to each of the Company and the Successor Entity or Successor Entities, jointly and severally), and the Successor Entity or Successor Entities, jointly and severally with the Company, may exercise every right and power of the Company prior thereto and the Successor Entity or Successor Entities shall assume all of the obligations of the Company prior thereto under this Warrant and the other Transaction Documents with the same effect as if the Company and such Successor Entity or Successor Entities, jointly and severally, had been named as the Company herein.

 

 

 

  

2.             “Stockholder Meeting” Provisions in the March 2024 Purchase Agreement. The Company and the Holder hereby consent and agree that Section 4.9(B) of the March 2024 Purchase Agreement shall be removed in their entirety, effective immediately.

 

3.             “Stockholder Meeting” Provisions in the 1st April 2024 Purchase Agreement, 2nd April 2024 Purchase Agreement, 3rd April 2024 Purchase Agreement, 1st May 2024 Purchase Agreement and 2nd May 2024 Purchase Agreement. The Company and the Holder hereby consent and agree that Section 4.17 of the 1st April 2024 Purchase Agreement, 2nd April 2024 Purchase Agreement, 3rd April 2024 Purchase Agreement, 1st May 2024 Purchase Agreement and 2nd May 2024 Purchase Agreement shall be amended and restated in their entirety, effective immediately:

 

4.17 Stockholders’ Meeting. The Company covenants that, promptly following the Closing Date, the Company shall take all corporate action necessary to call a meeting of its stockholders (the “Stockholders’ Meeting”), which shall occur not later than December 31, 2024, for the purpose of seeking approval of the Company’s stockholders (“Stockholder Approval”) with respect to the issuance of the Warrant Shares issuable upon the “alternative cash exercise” of the Warrants pursuant to Section 2(c) thereof. In connection therewith, the Company will file with the Commission proxy materials (including a proxy statement and form of proxy) for use at the Stockholders’ Meeting and, after receiving and promptly responding to any comments of the Commission thereon, shall as soon as reasonably practicable mail such proxy materials to the stockholders of the Company. The Company will comply with Section 14(a) of the Exchange Act and the rules promulgated thereunder in relation to any proxy statement (as amended or supplemented, the “Proxy Statement”) and any form of proxy to be sent to the stockholders of the Company in connection with the Stockholders’ Meeting, and the Proxy Statement shall not, on the date that the Proxy Statement (or any amendment thereof or supplement thereto) is first mailed to stockholders or at the time of the Stockholders’ Meeting, contain any untrue statement of a material fact or omit to state any material fact necessary in order to make the statements made therein not false or misleading, or omit to state any material fact necessary to correct any statement in any earlier communication with respect to the solicitation of proxies or the Stockholders’ Meeting which has become false or misleading. If the Company should discover at any time prior to the Stockholders’ Meeting, any event relating to the Company or the Subsidiary or any of their respective affiliates, officers or directors that is required to be set forth in a supplement or amendment to the Proxy Statement, in addition to the Company’s obligations under the Exchange Act, the Company will promptly inform the Placement Agent. The Board shall recommend to the Company’s stockholders that the stockholders vote in favor of the proposals for Stockholder Approval at the Stockholders’ Meeting and take all commercially reasonable action (including, without limitation, the hiring of a proxy solicitation firm of nationally recognized standing) to solicit the Stockholder Approval. If the Company does not obtain Stockholder Approval at the Stockholders’ Meeting, the Company shall call a meeting every six (6) months thereafter to seek shareholder approval until the date that stockholder approval is obtained (the “Stockholder Approval Date”). 

 

 

 

 

4.             [Reserved].

 

5.             “Subsequent Equity Sales” and “Registration Statement” Provisions in the March 2024 Purchase Agreement. The Company and the Holder hereby consent and agree that Sections 4.11(a), 4.11(b) and 4.15 of the March 2024 Purchase Agreement shall be removed in its entirety, effective immediately.

 

6.             Issuance of New Warrant and New Shares.

 

(a)           Immediately following Stockholder Approval, upon the terms and subject to the conditions set forth herein, the Company shall deliver to the Holder the New Warrant exercisable for [______] shares of Common Stock, substantially in the form attached hereto as Exhibit A.

 

(b)           On or before the date that is one Trading Day following the date hereof, upon the terms and subject to the conditions set forth herein, the Company shall deliver to the Holder [●] New Shares in book-entry form.

 

(c)           The delivery of the New Warrant and the New Shares shall each occur at the offices of Sullivan & Worcester LLP, with offices located at 1251 Avenue of the Americas, 19th Floor, New York, NY 10020 or such other location as the parties shall mutually agree, which shall include a remote closing by electronic transmission in accordance with the provisions of this Agreement.

 

(d)           Additionally, the Company agrees to the representations, warranties and covenants set forth on Annex A attached hereto. The Holder represents and warrants that (i) it is an “accredited investor” as defined in Rule 501 of the Securities Act; (ii) it, either or alone or together with its representatives, has such knowledge, sophistication and experience in business and financial matters so as to be capable of evaluating the merits and risks of the prospective investment in the securities offered herby, and has so evaluated the merits and risks of such investment; (iii) it is able to bear the economic risk of an investment in such securities and, at the present time, is able to afford a complete loss of such investment; and (iv) it has had the opportunity to review the transaction documents related to this investment and the Company’s filings with the United Stated Securities and Exchange Commission (the “Commission”) and understands the Company has substantial doubt regarding its ability to continue as a going concern, and has been afforded the following: the opportunity to ask such questions as it has deemed necessary of, and to receive answers from, representatives of the Company concerning the terms, conditions and risks of or associated with the offering of the securities and the merits and risks of investing in the securities; access to information about the Company and its financial condition, results of operations, business, properties, management and prospects sufficient to enable it to evaluate its investment, and the opportunity to obtain such additional information that the Company possesses or can acquire without unreasonable effort or expense that is necessary to make an informed investment decision with respect to the investment.

 

 

 

 

(e)           The Holder understands that neither the New Warrant or the New Warrant Shares nor the New Shares will be registered under the Securities Act upon issuance and that the Company will undertake to register the New Warrant Shares and the New Shares under the Securities Act, pursuant to the terms of this Agreement. In furtherance thereof, the New Warrant, each certificate evidencing New Shares and each certificate evidencing New Warrant Shares shall bear a legend substantially similar to the following if, for any reason, such New Warrant Shares or New Shares are not then currently covered under an effective registration statement:

 

“[NEITHER] THIS SECURITY [NOR THE SECURITIES FOR WHICH THIS SECURITY IS EXERCISABLE] HAVE BEEN REGISTERED WITH THE SECURITIES AND EXCHANGE COMMISSION OR THE SECURITIES COMMISSION OF ANY STATE IN RELIANCE UPON AN EXEMPTION FROM REGISTRATION UNDER THE SECURITIES ACT OF 1933, AS AMENDED (THE “SECURITIES ACT”), AND, ACCORDINGLY, MAY NOT BE OFFERED OR SOLD EXCEPT PURSUANT TO AN EFFECTIVE REGISTRATION STATEMENT UNDER THE SECURITIES ACT OR PURSUANT TO AN AVAILABLE EXEMPTION FROM, OR IN A TRANSACTION NOT SUBJECT TO, THE REGISTRATION REQUIREMENTS OF THE SECURITIES ACT AND IN ACCORDANCE WITH APPLICABLE STATE SECURITIES LAWS. [EACH OF] THIS SECURITY [AND THE SECURITIES ISSUABLE UPON EXERCISE OF THIS SECURITY] MAY BE PLEDGED IN CONNECTION WITH A BONA FIDE MARGIN ACCOUNT OR OTHER LOAN SECURED BY SUCH SECURITY.”

 

Certificates evidencing New Warrant Shares or New Shares shall not contain any legend (including the legend set forth above), (i) while a registration statement covering the resale of such New Warrant Shares or New Shares is effective under the Securities Act; (ii) following any sale of such New Warrant Shares or New Shares pursuant to Rule 144 under the Securities Act; (iii) if such New Warrant Shares or New Shares are eligible for sale under Rule 144, without the requirement for the Company to be in compliance with the current public information required under Rule 144 as to such New Warrant Shares or New Shares and without volume or manner-of-sale restrictions; (iv) if such New Warrant Shares or New Shares may be sold under Rule 144 and the Company is then in compliance with the current public information required under Rule 144 as to such New Warrant Shares or New Shares; or (v) if such legend is not required under applicable requirements of the Securities Act (including judicial interpretations and pronouncements issued by the staff of the Commission and the earliest of clauses (i) through (v), the “Delegend Date”)). The Company shall cause its counsel to issue a legal opinion to the transfer agent promptly after the Delegend Date if required by the Company and/or the transfer agent to effect the removal of the legend hereunder, which opinion shall be in form and substance reasonably acceptable to the Holder. If such New Warrant Shares or New Shares may be sold under Rule 144 without the requirement for the Company to be in compliance with the current public information required under Rule 144 or if such legend is not otherwise required under applicable requirements of the Securities Act (including judicial interpretations and pronouncements issued by the staff of the Commission) then such New Warrant Shares or New Shares shall be issued free of all legends, provided that, upon request of the Company (which request shall also include a form of customary representation letter), the Holder has delivered in advance to the Company a customary representation letter that is reasonably satisfactory to the Company and its counsel. The Company agrees that following the Delegend Date or at such time as such legend is no longer required under this paragraph, it will, no later than two (2) Trading Days (as defined in the New Warrant) following the delivery by the Holder to the Company or its transfer agent of a certificate representing the New Warrant Shares or the New Shares issued with a restrictive legend (such second Trading Day, the “Legend Removal Date”), deliver or cause to be delivered to the Holder a certificate representing such New Warrant Shares or New Shares that is free from all restrictive and other legends or, at the Holder’s request shall credit the account of the Holder’s prime broker with The Depository Trust Company System as directed by the Holder.

 

 

 

 

(f)            In addition to the Holder’s other available remedies, the Company shall pay to the Holder, in cash, (i) as partial liquidated damages and not as a penalty, for each $1,000 of New Warrant Shares or New Shares (based on the VWAP (as defined in the New Warrant) of the shares of Common Stock on the date such New Warrant Shares or New Shares are submitted to the transfer agent) delivered for removal of the restrictive legend, $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 certificate is delivered without a legend and (ii) if the Company fails to (a) issue and deliver (or cause to be delivered) to the Holder by the Legend Removal Date, a certificate representing the New Warrant Shares or New Shares so delivered to the Company by the Holder that is free from all restrictive and other legends and (b) if after the Legend Removal Date the Holder purchases (in an open market transaction or otherwise) shares of Common Stock to deliver in satisfaction of a sale by the Holder of all or any portion of the number of New Warrant Shares or New Shares, or a sale of a number of shares of Common Stock equal to all or any portion of the number of New Warrant Shares or New Shares that the Holder anticipated receiving from the Company without any restrictive legend, then, an amount equal to the excess of the Holder’s total purchase price (including brokerage commissions and other out-of-pocket expenses, if any) for the shares of Common Stock so purchased (including brokerage commissions and other out-of-pocket expenses, if any) over the product of (A) such number of New Warrant Shares or New Shares that the Company was required to deliver to the Holder by the Legend Removal Date multiplied by (B) the lowest closing sale price of the shares of Common Stock on any Trading Day during the period commencing on the date of the delivery by the Holder to the Company of the applicable New Warrant Shares or New Shares (as the case may be) and ending on the date of such delivery and payment under this clause (ii).

 

(g)           The Company shall file a Current Report on Form 8-K with the Commission disclosing all material terms of the transactions contemplated hereunder, within the time period required under the Exchange Act. From and after the filing of such Current Report on Form 8-K, the Company represents to the Holder that it shall have publicly disclosed all material, non-public information delivered to the Holder by the Company, or any of their respective officers, directors, employees or agents in connection with the transactions contemplated hereunder. In addition, effective upon the filing of such Current Report on Form 8-K, the Company acknowledges and agrees that any and all confidentiality or similar obligations under any agreement, whether written or oral, between the Company, any of its subsidiaries or any of their respective officers, directors, agents, employees or affiliates on the one hand, and the Holder and the Holder’s affiliates on the other hand, shall terminate.

 

(h)           As soon as reasonably practicable, but in any event no later than forty-five (45) calendar days following the date Stockholder Approval (as defined in the New Warrant) is obtained, the Company shall file a registration statement on Form S-3 (or Form S-1 or other appropriate form if the Company is not then S-3 eligible) (the “Resale Registration Statement”) providing for the resale by the Holder of (a) the New Warrant Shares issued and issuable upon exercise of the New Warrants and (b) the New Shares. The Company shall use commercially reasonable efforts to cause such registration to become effective as soon as practicable and to keep such registration statement effective at all times until the Holder does not own any such warrants or shares of Common Stock issuable upon exercise thereof. The Holder will be required to complete, sign and return an investor questionnaire to the Company in connection with any such registration statement.

 

 

 

 

7.             Subsequent Equity Sales.

 

(a)Except as set forth in that certain waiver agreement by and between the Company and the Holder, dated as of April 17, 2024 (the “Waiver”), from the date hereof until thirty (30) days after the date Stockholder Approval is obtained, neither the Company nor any of its subsidiaries shall (i) issue, enter into any agreement to issue or announce the issuance or proposed issuance of any shares of Common Stock or any securities of the Company or its subsidiaries which would entitle the holder thereof to acquire at any time Common Stock, including, without limitation, any debt, preferred stock, right, option, warrant or other instrument that is at any time convertible into or exercisable or exchangeable for, or otherwise entitles the holder thereof to receive, Common Stock (“Common Stock Equivalents”), or (ii) file any registration statement or any amendment or supplement with respect thereto, other than (A) the filing of a registration statement or any amendment or supplement with respect thereto, covering the resale of the shares of Common Stock issuable upon exercise of the New Warrant or any Original Warrants, as applicable or the New Shares, and (B) the filing of a registration statement on Form S-8 in connection with any employee benefit plan. For the avoidance of doubt, nothing in this Section 7(a) shall be deemed to prevent the Company from filing a registration statement in connection with any registration rights obligations in existence prior to the date hereof.

 

(b)Except as set forth in the Waiver, from the date hereof until sixty (60) days after the date Stockholder Approval is obtained, the Company shall be prohibited from effecting or entering into an agreement to effect any issuance by the Company or any of its subsidiaries of Common Stock or Common Stock Equivalents (or a combination of units thereof) involving a Variable Rate Transaction. “Variable Rate Transaction” means 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 shares of Common Stock 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 shares of Common Stock 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 Stock 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 regardless of whether shares pursuant to such agreement have actually been issued and regardless of whether such agreement is subsequently canceled. The Holder shall be entitled to obtain injunctive relief against the Company to preclude any such issuance. For purposes of this Section 7(b), an “at the market offering” and an “equity line of credit” shall not constitute a Variable Rate Transaction.

 

 

 

 

(c)Notwithstanding the foregoing, this Section 7 shall not apply in respect of (i) an Exempt Issuance, except that no Variable Rate Transaction shall be an Exempt Issuance and (ii) any financing deemed necessary by the Company in order to satisfy the continued listing requirements of The Nasdaq Stock Market LLC. “Exempt Issuance” means the issuance of (a) the New Warrant and the New Shares issued hereunder and any shares of Common Stock issuable upon exercise of the New Warrant; (b) any new warrants, shares of Common Stock and shares of Common Stock issuable upon exercise of any new warrants issued pursuant to side letter agreements containing substantially similar terms as provided hereby, and executed by the Company and other investors of even date herewith; (c) shares of Common Stock or options to employees, officers, directors, consultants and investor relation agencies of the Company pursuant to the Company’s equity incentive plans or pursuant to the compensation agreements previously authorized by the Company’s board of directors provided; however, any such issuances to consultants shall be limited to 100,000 shares; (d) securities upon the exercise or exchange of or conversion of securities exercisable or exchangeable for or convertible into shares of Common Stock issued and outstanding on the date of this Agreement, provided that such securities have not been amended since the date of this Agreement to increase the number of such securities or to decrease the exercise price, exchange price or conversion price of such securities (other than in connection with stock splits, combinations or pre-existing anti-dilution provisions) or to extend the term of such securities; (e) securities issued pursuant to acquisitions or strategic transactions and the payment of contractor invoices in the ordinary course of business approved by a majority of the disinterested directors of the Company, provided that such securities are issued as “restricted securities” (as defined in Rule 144) and carry no registration rights that require or permit the filing of any registration statement in connection therewith during the prohibition period in Section 7(a) herein, and provided that any such issuance shall only be to a Person (as defined below) (or to the equityholders of a Person) which is, itself or through its subsidiaries, an operating company or an owner of an asset in a business synergistic with the business of the Company and shall provide to the Company additional benefits in addition to the investment of funds, but shall not include a transaction in which the Company is issuing securities primarily for the purpose of raising capital or to an entity whose primary business is investing in securities; (f) issuances pursuant to or as contemplated by the Waiver; and (g) securities issued in connection with the acquisition of assets of, or sale of the Company’s securities to, Data Vault Holdings, Inc. or any of its affiliates. “Person” means an individual or corporation, partnership, trust, incorporated or unincorporated association, joint venture, limited liability company, joint stock company, government (or an agency or subdivision thereof) or other entity of any kind.
