Pursuant to the SPA and if required by the NYSE American, the Company agreed to file a proxy statement to obtain stockholder approval for the foregoing transactions.
Pursuant to the SPA, the Company and certain of its subsidiaries (the “

In connection with the financing, pursuant to an engagement agreement between the Company and Alliance Global Partners (“
AGP
”), a licensed broker-dealer with FINRA, the Company has agreed to pay to AGP a cash fee, or placement agent fee, equal to5% of the aggregate gross proceeds raised. Such fee shall be payable at the closing of the offering. In addition, AGP shall receive a cash fee equal to 5% of such cash exercise price proceeds received by the Company, payable within 48 hours of the receipt by the Company of any cash exercise price proceeds from the exercise of any warrants sold, provided that no such fee is due and payable hereunder in the event the warrants are not exercised for cash.

The Convertible Note has a principal face amount of $6,000,000 and bears interest at 10% per annum, with 50% of the total interest due on the principal payable at the closing and the remaining 50% payable as Amortization Payments (as defined below).

The conversion price of the Convertible Note is subject to adjustment for customary stock splits, stock dividends, combinations or similar events. The Convertible Note contains standard and customary events of default including, but not limited to, failure to make payments when due under the Convertible Note, failure to comply with certain covenants contained in the Convertible Note, or bankruptcy or insolvency of the Company. The Company may prepay the full outstanding principal and accrued and unpaid interest at any time without penalty.
