On February 1, 2024, the Company and the Purchaser entered into that certain Securities Purchase Agreement (the "Purchase Agreement"), pursuant to which the Company shall issue to the Purchaser (i) 750,000 shares of the Common Stock, and (ii) warrants to purchase up to an aggregate of 3,000,000 shares of the Common Stock.

The Company used the net proceeds to fund a portion of the cash consideration paid in connection with the acquisition of substantially all of the assets of CLMBR, Inc.

The Note Purchase Agreement contains customary representations, warranties, and covenants of the Company and the Purchaser.

Description of the Note

The Note accrues interest at a rate of 2.0% per month. The maturity date of the Note is December 15, 2024 (the “Maturity Date”). Interest payments are guaranteed through the Maturity date regardless of whether the Note is earlier converted or redeemed.

The Note is convertible (in whole or in part) at any time prior to the Maturity Date into the number of shares of Common Stock equal to the quotient resulting by dividing the outstanding principal balance of the Note to be converted by a conversion price of $2.00 per share (such shares, the “Note Conversion Shares”).

The Note sets forth certain standard events of default (each such event, an “Event of Default”), upon the occurrence of which the Company is required to deliver written notice to the Purchaser within two (2) business days (a “Notice of Default”). At any time after the earlier of (a) the Purchaser’s receipt of a Notice of Default and (b) the Purchaser becoming aware of the Event of Default, the Purchaser may require the Company to redeem all or any portion of the Note. Upon an Event of Default, the Note shall bear interest at a rate of 4.0% per month.

The Warrants are exercisable for 1,500,000 shares of Common Stock, at a price of $1.25 per share (“Warrant 1”) and $1.75 per share (“Warrant 2” and, together with Warrant 1, the “Warrants”) (the “Exercise Prices”). The Warrants may be exercised during the period commencing February 1, 2024 and ending on February 1, 2034. The Exercise Prices are subject to voluntary adjustments and adjustments upon subdivision or combinations of shares of Common Stock.

On the Effective Date, the Company, entered into a Credit Agreement (the “Credit Agreement”) with Vertical Investors LLC, a Mississippi limited liability company (the “Lender”) pursuant to which the Company agreed to borrow from the Lender a term loan in the aggregate principal amount of $7,968,978 (the “Loan”).

The Credit Agreement requires the Company to make loan payments on the following schedule: (i) on or before February 23, 2024, the Company shall pay to the Lender the amount which is the sum of (a) $2,000,000, (b) the accrued and unpaid interest then due and owing under the Loan, and (c) the projected interest to be accrued and payable under the Loan through April 30, 2024; (ii) on or before April 30, 2024, the Company shall pay to the Lender the amount which is the sum of (a) $500,000, (b) the accrued and unpaid interest then due and owing under the Loan, and (c) the projected interest to be accrued and payable under the Loan through May 31, 2024; (iii) on or before May 31, 2024, the Company shall pay to the Lender the amount which is the sum of (a) $500,000, (b) the accrued and unpaid interest then due and owing under the Loan, and (c) the projected interest to be accrued and payable under the Loan through the Maturity Date; and (iv) on or before the Maturity Date, the Company shall pay to the Lender the amount which is


the sum of (a) the remaining principal then outstanding under the Loan and (b) the accrued and unpaid interest then due and owing under the Loan.

The Credit Agreement sets forth certain standard events of default, upon the occurrence of which the Company is required to deliver written notice to the Lender within ten (10) business days. At any time after the earlier of (a) the Lender’s receipt of a notice of default, and (b) the Lender becoming aware of the event of default, the Lender may require the Company to redeem all or any portion of the Loan. Upon an event of default, the Loan shall bear interest at a rate of the sum of the Note Rate and 5.0% per month.

Entry into the Credit Agreement and the related agreements and documents, was approved by the Company’s board of directors on February 1, 2024.

Certain of the lenders under the Credit Agreement and their affiliates have engaged in, and may in the future engage in, investment banking, commercial lending and other commercial dealings in the ordinary course of business with the Company or the Company’s affiliates.

On February 1, 2024, each of the December Lender and the Equity Line Investor granted a waiver to the Company to allow the Company to issue the Note and to enter into the Credit Agreement (the “Waiver”). As consideration for the Waiver, the Company issued 250,000 shares of Common Stock (the “Waiver Consideration”) and agreed that, by March 15, 2024, the Company would deliver, free of charge, two of the Company’s products to the December Lender.

 

Item 2.01 Completion of Acquisition or Disposition of Assets.

 

As previously disclosed, the Company entered into an asset purchase agreement, which was subsequently amended and restated on January 22, 2024, (as amended and restated, the “Asset Purchase Agreement”) with CLMBR, Inc and CLMBR1, LLC (the “Sellers”) to purchase and acquire substantially all of the assets and assume certain liabilities of the Sellers (the "Acquisition").

On February 2, 2024, pursuant to the Asset Purchase Agreement, the Company completed the Acquisition for a total purchase price enterprise value of approximately $15.4 million, consisting of the issuance at closing of shares of Common Stock with a value of $1.45 million, 1,428,922 shares and shares of non-voting Series B preferred stock with a value of $3.0 million, 1,500,000 shares to the equity holders of the Sellers (each of whom is an “accredited investor” as defined in Rule 501 under the Securities Act), the assumption by the Company of $1.5 million of subordinated debt, and the retirement of $9.4 million of senior debt.

 

The Sellers shall also be entitled to receive a contingent payment in the form of shares of Common Stock (collectively, the “Earn-Out Shares” and collectively with the shares of common stock and shares of Series B Preferred Stock issued at closing, the “Shares”) calculated in the manner set forth in the Asset Purchase Agreement based on the 2024 Unit Sales (as defined in the Asset Purchase Agreement) and the VWAP for the Company’s Common Stock based on the 10 consecutive trading days ending on (and including) December 31, 2024, subject to the VWAP Collar. In addition, in the event the 2024 Unit Sales include at least 2,400 Units sold in the business-to-business channel, the Sellers shall be entitled to an additional number of Earn-Out Shares calculated in the manner set forth in the Asset Purchase Agreement subject to total maximum number of 22,665,681 Earn-Out Shares.

 

The Shares issued at closing were issued (and any Earn-Out Shares will be issued) pursuant to an exemption from the registration requirements under Section 4(a)(2) of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”) and Rule 506 of Regulation D promulgated thereunder and are subject to restrictions on transfer and resale until October 18, 2024.

Each recipient of the Securities is an “accredited investor” as defined in Rule 501 under the Securities Act. Neither the Securities nor any shares of Common Stock issuable upon conversion or exercise of the Series B Preferred Stock, the Note, or the Warrant, has been registered under the Securities Act and thus such shares may not be offered or sold in the United States in the absence of an effective registration statement or exemption from the registration requirements of the Securities Act.

 

 

Item 5.03 Amendments to Articles of Incorporation or Bylaws; Change in Fiscal Year.

 

The Series B Preferred Stock will be subject to voluntary and mandatory conversion provisions, as well as beneficial ownership restrictions and share cap limitations, as set forth in the Certificate of Designation of Series B Convertible Preferred Stock (the “Series B Certificate”),

On January 21, 2024, the Board of Directors of the Company approved the Series B Certificate. The Series B Certificate designated 1,500,000 shares of the Company’s preferred stock as Series B Preferred Stock. Subject to certain conversion restrictions as specified in the Series B Certificate, and applicable legal and regulatory requirements, including without limitation, the listing requirements of the Nasdaq Stock Market, subject to and upon the receipt of the approval of the stockholders of the Company, and provided that such conversion occurs at least 24 months following the Original Issuance Date (as defined in the Series B Certificate), each share of Series B Preferred Stock shall be automatically converted into such whole number of fully paid and non-assessable shares of Common Stock as is determined by dividing the Original Issue Price (as defined in the Series B Certificate) by the Conversion Price (as defined in the Series B Certificate) in effect at the time of conversion. In the event that stockholder approval is not obtained, the holders of the Series B Preferred Stock may voluntarily convert the Series B Preferred Stock into common stock, provided that in no event shall the number of shares of common stock issued upon such voluntary conversion exceed 19.99% of the total number of shares of common stock outstanding as of immediately prior to the execution of the Asset Purchase Agreement. The Series B Certificate became effective February 2, 2024. The Series B Preferred Stock will not have any voting rights, other than any vote required by law or the Company’s certificate of incorporation (which does not currently provide for any such voting rights) and will not be entitled to any dividends. The description of the Series B Certificate herein does not purport to be complete and is qualified in its entirety by reference to the full text of the Series B Certificate, which is attached as Exhibit 3.1 to this Current Report on Form 8-K and is incorporated herein by reference.

We do not intend to list the Series B Preferred Stock on any securities exchange or nationally recognized trading system and there is no established trading market for the Series B Preferred Stock.

 

This Current Report on Form 8-K, including this Item 5.03, shall not constitute an offer to sell or the solicitation of an offer to buy, nor shall there be any sale of these securities in any jurisdiction in which such offer, solicitation or sale would be unlawful prior to the registration or qualification under the securities laws of any such jurisdiction.

Exhibit 3.2

CERTIFICATE OF DESIGNATION OF SERIES B Convertible PREFERRED STOCK
OF

INTERACTIVE STRENGTH Inc.

Pursuant to Section 151
of the General Corporation Law of the State of Delaware (the “
DGCL”)

I, the Chief Executive Officer of Interactive Strength Inc., a corporation organized and existing under the DGCL (the “Corporation”), in accordance with the provisions of Section 103 thereof, DO HEREBY CERTIFY:

That pursuant to the authority conferred upon the Board of the Directors of the Corporation (the “Board”) by the Amended and Restated Certificate of Incorporation of the Corporation, dated May 2, 2023 (the “Certificate of Incorporation”), the Board on January 21, 2024, adopted the following resolution creating a series of Preferred Stock consisting of 1,500,000 shares designated as Series B Preferred Stock:

RESOLVED, that pursuant to the authority vested in the Board by the Certificate of Incorporation, the Board does hereby provide for the issuance of a series of Preferred Stock, par value $0.0001 per share, of the Corporation and, to the extent that the designations, powers, preferences and relative and other special rights and the qualifications, limitations and restrictions of such class of Preferred Stock are not stated and expressed in the Certificate of Incorporation, does hereby fix and herein state and express such designations, powers, preferences and relative and other special rights and the qualifications, limitations and restrictions thereof set forth below.

This Certificate of Designation shall be effective on February 2, 2024 (the “Effective Date”).

Article 1


DESIGNATION

The Corporation shall be authorized to issue 1,500,000 shares of Series B Convertible Preferred Stock, par value $0.0001 per share (the “Series B Preferred Stock”). The rights, preferences, powers, restrictions, and limitations of the Series B Preferred Stock shall be as set forth herein.

Article 2

LIQUIDATION PREFERENCE

Section 2.1
Preferential Payments to Holders of Series B Preferred Stock. In the event of (a) any voluntary or involuntary liquidation, dissolution or winding up of the Corporation, the holders of shares of Series B Preferred Stock then outstanding shall be entitled to be paid out of the assets of the Corporation available for distribution to its stockholders, and (b) a Deemed Liquidation Event (as defined below), the holders of shares of Series B Preferred Stock then outstanding shall be entitled to be paid out of the consideration payable to stockholders in such Deemed Liquidation Event, on a pari passu basis and simultaneously with any payments to any holder of Preferred Stock, based on their respective Liquidation Amounts (as defined below) and before any payment shall be made to the holders of Common Stock by reason of their ownership thereof, an amount per share of Series B Preferred Stock equal to the greater of (i) the Original Issue Price (as defined below), plus any dividends accrued but unpaid thereon, whether or not declared, together with any other dividends declared but unpaid thereon, or (ii) such amount per share as would have been payable had all shares of Series B Preferred Stock been converted into Common Stock pursuant to Section 4.1 immediately prior to such liquidation, dissolution, winding up or Deemed Liquidation Event (the amount payable pursuant to this sentence is hereinafter referred to as the “Liquidation Amount”). If upon any such liquidation, dissolution or winding up of the

The “Original Issue Price” shall mean $2.00 per share of Series B Preferred Stock, subject to appropriate adjustment in the event of any stock dividend, stock split, combination or other similar recapitalization with respect to such shares.
Section 2.2
Deemed Liquidation Events. Each of the following events shall be considered a “Deemed Liquidation Event”:
(a)

(b)
the sale, lease, transfer, exclusive license or other disposition, in a single transaction or series of related transactions, by the Corporation or any subsidiary of the Corporation of all or substantially all the assets of the Corporation and its subsidiaries taken as a whole, or the sale, lease, transfer, exclusive license or other disposition (whether by merger, consolidation or otherwise) of one or more subsidiaries of the Corporation if substantially all of the assets of the Corporation and its subsidiaries taken as a whole are held by such subsidiary or subsidiaries, except where such sale, lease, transfer, exclusive license or other disposition is to a subsidiary of the Corporation.
Section 2.3
Amount Deemed Paid or Distributed. The amount deemed paid or distributed to the holders of capital stock of the Corporation upon any such merger, consolidation, sale, transfer, exclusive license, other disposition or redemption shall be the cash or the value of the property, rights or securities to be paid or distributed to such holders pursuant to such Deemed Liquidation Event.

VOTING

The shares of Series B Preferred Stock shall not be entitled to any voting rights, other than any vote required by law or the Certificate of Incorporation.

Article 4


CONVERSION
Section 4.1
Mandatory Conversion.
(a)
Trigger Event. Subject to the terms of Section 4.4, the applicable legal and regulatory requirements, including, without limitations, the Nasdaq Stock Market’s listing requirements,

Exhibit 3.2

and as otherwise set forth in this Certificate of Designation, upon the date that is twenty (24) months following the Effective Date (the “Mandatory Conversion Time”), all outstanding shares of Series B Preferred Stock shall automatically be converted into shares of Common Stock pursuant to Section 4.2 and such shares of Series B Preferred Stock may not be reissued by the Corporation. For the avoidance of doubt, if conversion pursuant to this Section 4.1(a) requires the consent of a majority of the then outstanding shares of Common Stock pursuant to Section 4.4, then such conversion shall occur immediately upon such consent.
(b)
All holders of record of shares of Series B Preferred Stock shall be sent written notice of the Mandatory Conversion Time and the place designated for mandatory conversion of all such shares of Preferred Stock pursuant to this Section 4.1. Such notice need not be sent in advance of the occurrence of the Mandatory Conversion Time. Upon receipt of such notice, each holder of shares of Series B Preferred Stock in certificated form shall surrender his, her or its certificate or certificates for all such shares (or, if such holder alleges that such certificate has been lost, stolen or destroyed, a lost certificate affidavit and agreement reasonably acceptable to the Corporation to indemnify the Corporation against any claim that may be made against the Corporation on account of the alleged loss, theft or destruction of such certificate) to the Corporation at the place designated in such notice. If so required by the Corporation, any certificates surrendered for conversion shall be endorsed or accompanied by written instrument or instruments of transfer, in form satisfactory to the Corporation, duly executed by the registered holder or by his, her or its attorney duly authorized in writing. All rights with respect to the Series B Preferred Stock converted pursuant to Section 4.1(a), including the rights, if any, to receive notices and vote (other than as a holder of Common Stock), will terminate at the Mandatory Conversion Time (notwithstanding the failure of the holder or holders thereof to surrender any certificates at or prior to such time), except only the rights of the holders thereof, upon surrender of any certificate or certificates of such holders (or lost certificate affidavit and agreement) therefor, to receive the items provided for in the next sentence of this Section 4.1(b). As soon as practicable after the Mandatory Conversion Time and, if applicable, the surrender of any certificate or certificates (or lost certificate affidavit and agreement) for Series B Preferred Stock, the Corporation shall (a) issue and deliver to such holder, or to his, her or its nominees, a notice of issuance of uncertificated shares and may, upon written request, issue and deliver a certificate for the number of full shares of Common Stock issuable upon such conversion in accordance with the provisions hereof and (b) pay any declared but unpaid dividends on the shares of Series B Preferred Stock converted. Such converted Series B Preferred Stock shall be retired and cancelled and may not be reissued as shares of such series, and the Corporation may thereafter take such appropriate action (without the need for stockholder action) as may be necessary to reduce the authorized number of shares of Preferred Stock accordingly.
Section 4.2
Conversion Ratio. Upon the time of conversion, each share of Series B Preferred Stock shall convert into such whole number of fully paid and non-assessable shares of Common Stock, as is determined by dividing the Original Issue Price by the Conversion Price (as defined below). The “Conversion Price” applicable to the Series B Preferred Stock shall be equal to the volume weighted average price of the Common Stock for the ten trading days immediately prior to, and including, the Effective Date. Such Conversion Price, and the rate at which shares of Series B Preferred Stock may be converted into shares of Common Stock, shall be subject to adjustment as provided below.
Section 4.3
Number of Shares Issuable Upon Conversion. Subject to the terms of Section 4.4, the applicable legal and regulatory requirements, including, without limitations, the Nasdaq Stock Market’s listing requirements, and as otherwise set forth in this Certificate of Designation, the number of shares of Common Stock issuable to a holder of Series B Preferred Stock upon conversion of such Series B Preferred Stock shall be the nearest whole share, after aggregating all fractional interests in shares of Common Stock that would otherwise be issuable upon conversion of all shares of Series B Preferred Stock being converted by such holder (with any fractional interests after such aggregation representing 0.5 or greater of a whole share being entitled to a whole

Exhibit 3.2

share). For the avoidance of doubt, no fractional interests in shares of Common Stock shall be created or issuable as a result of the conversion of the Series B Preferred Stock.
Section 4.4
Stockholder Approval Conversion Restriction. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, without the consent of a majority of the then outstanding shares of Common Stock (excluding, for the avoidance of doubt, any shares of Common Stock issued or issuable upon conversion of the Series B Preferred Stock and any shares of Common Stock issued in a transaction related to the issuance of Series B Preferred Stock that is the subject of such conversion), no shares of Series B Preferred Stock shall be converted into shares of Common Stock, if (A) (i) such shares of Series B Preferred Stock were issued in connection with the Corporation’s acquisition of the stock or assets of another company (an “Acquisition”), and (ii) such conversion would result in the total number of shares of Common Stock issued in connection with such Acquisition (including any shares of Common Stock previously issued in connection with the Acquisition, whether in connection with a prior conversion of shares of Series B Preferred Stock or otherwise) exceeding 19.99% of the number of shares of Common Stock outstanding, or 19.99% of the voting power outstanding, before the execution of the definitive agreement with respect to such Acquisition; (B) the number of shares of Common Stock issued or to be issued is or will result in a change of control of the Corporation under the Nasdaq listing requirements; or (C) such conversion would otherwise require shareholder approval under the Nasdaq listing requirements, including Nasdaq listing rule 5635.
Section 4.5
Mechanics of Conversion.
(a)
Reservation of Shares. The Corporation shall at all times when the Series B Preferred Stock shall be outstanding, reserve and keep available out of its authorized but unissued capital stock, for the purpose of effecting the conversion of the Series B Preferred Stock, such number of its duly authorized shares of Common Stock as shall from time to time be sufficient to effect the conversion of all outstanding B Preferred Stock; and if at any time the number of authorized but unissued shares of Common Stock shall not be sufficient to effect the conversion of all then outstanding shares of the Series B Preferred Stock, the Corporation shall take such corporate action as may be necessary to increase its authorized but unissued shares of Common Stock to such number of shares as shall be sufficient for such purposes, including, without limitation, engaging in best efforts to obtain the requisite stockholder approval of any necessary amendment to this Certificate of Incorporation. Before taking any action that would cause an adjustment reducing the Conversion Price for the Series B Preferred Stock below the then par value of the shares of Common Stock issuable upon conversion of the Series B Preferred Stock, the Corporation will take any corporate action which may, in the opinion of its counsel, be necessary in order that the Corporation may validly and legally issue fully paid and non‑assessable shares of Common Stock at such adjusted Conversion Price.
(b)
Effect of Conversion. All shares of Series B Preferred Stock which shall have been surrendered for conversion as herein provided shall no longer be deemed to be outstanding and all rights with respect to such shares shall immediately cease and terminate at the time of conversion, except only the right of the holders thereof to receive shares of Common Stock in exchange therefor and to receive payment of any dividends declared but unpaid thereon.
(c)
No Further Adjustment. Upon any such conversion, no adjustment to the Conversion Price shall be made for any declared but unpaid dividends on the Series B Preferred Stock surrendered for conversion or on the Common Stock delivered upon conversion.
(d)
Taxes. The Corporation shall pay any and all issue and other similar taxes that may be payable in respect of any issuance or delivery of shares of Common Stock upon conversion of shares of Series B Preferred Stock pursuant to this Section 4.5. The Corporation shall not, however, be required to pay any tax which may be payable in respect of any transfer involved in the issuance and delivery of shares

Exhibit 3.2

of Common Stock in a name other than that in which the shares of Series B Preferred Stock so converted were registered, and no such issuance or delivery shall be made unless and until the person or entity requesting such issuance has paid to the Corporation the amount of any such tax or has established, to the satisfaction of the Corporation, that such tax has been paid.
Article 5


CERTAIN ADJUSTMENTS
Section 5.1
Adjustment for Stock Splits and Combinations. If the Corporation shall at any time or from time to time after the Original Issuance Date effect a subdivision of the outstanding Common Stock, the Conversion Price of Series B Preferred Stock in effect immediately before that subdivision shall be proportionately decreased so that the number of shares of Common Stock issuable on conversion of each share of such series shall be increased in proportion to such increase in the aggregate number of shares of Common Stock outstanding. If the Corporation shall at any time or from time to time after the Original Issuance Date combine the outstanding shares of Common Stock, the Conversion Price of Series B Preferred Stock in effect immediately before the combination shall be proportionately increased so that the number of shares of Common Stock issuable on conversion of each share of such series shall be decreased in proportion to such decrease in the aggregate number of shares of Common Stock outstanding. Any adjustment under this Section 5.1 shall become effective at the close of business on the date the subdivision or combination becomes effective.
Section 5.2
Adjustment for Certain Dividends and Distributions. In the event the Corporation at any time or from time to time after the Original Issuance Date shall make or issue, or fix a record date for the determination of holders of Common Stock entitled to receive, a dividend or other distribution payable on the Common Stock in additional shares of Common Stock, then and in each such event the Conversion Price of Series B Preferred Stock in effect immediately before such event shall be decreased as of the time of such issuance or, in the event such a record date shall have been fixed, as of the close of business on such record date, by multiplying the Conversion Price of Series B Preferred Stock then in effect by a fraction:
(a)
the numerator of which shall be the total number of shares of Common Stock issued and outstanding immediately prior to the time of such issuance or the close of business on such record date, and
(b)
the denominator of which shall be the total number of shares of Common Stock issued and outstanding immediately prior to the time of such issuance or the close of business on such record date plus the number of shares of Common Stock issuable in payment of such dividend or distribution.

Notwithstanding the foregoing, (a) if such record date shall have been fixed and such dividend is not fully paid or if such distribution is not fully made on the date fixed therefor, the Conversion Price of Series B Preferred Stock shall be recomputed accordingly as of the close of business on such record date and thereafter the Conversion Price of Series B Preferred Stock shall be adjusted pursuant to this Section 5.2 as of the time of actual payment of such dividends or distributions; (b) no such adjustment shall be made if the holders of Series B Preferred Stock simultaneously receive a dividend or other distribution of shares of Common Stock in a number equal to the number of shares of Common Stock as they would have received if all outstanding shares of Series B Preferred Stock had been converted into Common Stock on the date of such event; and (c) no such adjustment shall be made if such adjustment would result in the requirement to obtain the consent of a majority of the then outstanding shares of Common Stock in connection with the conversion of the Series B Preferred Stock pursuant to Section 4.4.

Section 5.3
Adjustments for Other Dividends and Distributions. In the event the Corporation at any time or from time to time after the Original Issuance Date shall make or issue, or fix a record date for the

Exhibit 3.2

determination of holders of Common Stock entitled to receive, a dividend or other distribution payable in securities of the Corporation (other than a distribution of shares of Common Stock in respect of outstanding shares of Common Stock) or in other property, then and in each such event the holders of Series B Preferred Stock shall receive, simultaneously with the distribution to the holders of Common Stock, a dividend or other distribution of such securities or other property in an amount equal to the amount of such securities or other property as they would have received if all outstanding shares of Series B Preferred Stock had been converted into Common Stock on the date of such event.
Section 5.4
Adjustment for Merger or Reorganization, etc. Subject to the provisions of Section 2.3, if there shall occur any reorganization, recapitalization, reclassification, consolidation or merger involving the Corporation in which the Common Stock (but not the Series B Preferred Stock) is converted into or exchanged for securities, cash or other property (other than a transaction covered by Section 5.2 or Section 5.3, then, following any such reorganization, recapitalization, reclassification, consolidation or merger, each share of Series B Preferred Stock shall thereafter be convertible in lieu of the Common Stock into which it was convertible prior to such event into the kind and amount of securities, cash or other property which a holder of the number of shares of Common Stock of the Corporation issuable upon conversion of one share of Series B Preferred Stock immediately prior to such reorganization, recapitalization, reclassification, consolidation or merger would have been entitled to receive pursuant to such transaction; and, in such case, appropriate adjustment (as determined in good faith by the Board) shall be made in the application of the provisions in Section 4.5 and Article 5 with respect to the rights and interests thereafter of the holders of the Series B Preferred Stock, to the end that the provisions set forth in Section 4.5 and Article 5 (including provisions with respect to changes in and other adjustments of the Conversion Price of Series B Preferred Stock) shall thereafter be applicable, as nearly as reasonably may be, in relation to any securities or other property thereafter deliverable upon the conversion of the Series B Preferred Stock.
Section 5.5
Certificate as to Adjustments. Upon the occurrence of each adjustment or readjustment of the Conversion Price of Series B Preferred Stock pursuant to Section 4.5 and Article 5, the Corporation at its expense shall, as promptly as reasonably practicable but in any event not later than ten (10) days thereafter, compute such adjustment or readjustment in accordance with the terms hereof and furnish to each holder of Series B Preferred Stock a certificate setting forth such adjustment or readjustment (including the kind and amount of securities, cash or other property into which Series B Preferred Stock is convertible) and showing in detail the facts upon which such adjustment or readjustment is based. The Corporation shall, as promptly as reasonably practicable after the written request at any time of any holder of Series B Preferred Stock (but in any event not later than ten (10) days thereafter), furnish or cause to be furnished to such holder a certificate setting forth (i) the Conversion Price then in effect for Series B Preferred Stock held by such holder, and (ii) the number of shares of Common Stock and the amount, if any, of other securities, cash or property which then would be received upon the conversion of Series B Preferred Stock.
Section 5.6
Notice of Record Date. In the event:
(a)
the Corporation shall take a record of the holders of its Common Stock (or other capital stock or securities at the time issuable upon conversion of the Series B Preferred Stock) for the purpose of entitling or enabling them to receive any dividend or other distribution, or to receive any right to subscribe for or purchase any shares of capital stock of any class or series or any other securities, or to receive any other security;
(b)
of any capital reorganization of the Corporation, any reclassification of the Common Stock of the Corporation, or any Deemed Liquidation Event; or
(c)
of the voluntary or involuntary dissolution, liquidation or winding-up of the Corporation,

Exhibit 3.2

then, and in each such case, the Corporation will send or cause to be sent to the holders of the Series B Preferred Stock a notice specifying, as the case may be, (i) the record date for such dividend, distribution or right, and the amount and character of such dividend, distribution or right, or (ii) the effective date on which such reorganization, reclassification, consolidation, merger, transfer, dissolution, liquidation or winding-up is proposed to take place, and the time, if any is to be fixed, as of which the holders of record of Common Stock (or such other capital stock or securities at the time issuable upon the conversion of the Series B Preferred Stock) shall be entitled to exchange their shares of Common Stock (or such other capital stock or securities) for securities or other property deliverable upon such reorganization, reclassification, consolidation, merger, transfer, dissolution, liquidation or winding-up, and the amount per share and character of such exchange applicable to the Series B Preferred Stock and the Common Stock. Such notice shall be sent at least ten (10) days prior to the record date or effective date for the event specified in such notice.

INTERACTIVE STRENGTH Inc.

Warrant To Purchase Common Stock

Warrant No.: TW-1

Number of Shares of Common Stock: 1,500,000

Date of Issuance: February 1, 2024 (“Issuance Date”)

Interactive Strength Inc., a Delaware corporation (the “Company”), hereby certifies that, for good and valuable consideration, the receipt and sufficiency of which are hereby acknowledged, Treadway Holdings LLC, the registered holder hereof or its permitted assigns (the “Holder”), is entitled, subject to the terms set forth below, to purchase from the Company, at the Exercise Price (as defined below) then in effect, at any time or times on or after the Issuance Date, but not after 11:59 p.m., New York time, on the Expiration Date, (as defined below), One Million Five Hundred Thousand (1,500,000) fully paid nonassessable shares of Common Stock, subject to adjustment as provided herein (the “Warrant Shares”). Except as otherwise defined herein, capitalized terms in this Warrant to Purchase Common Stock (including any Warrants to Purchase Common Stock issued in exchange, transfer or replacement hereof, this “Warrant”) shall have the meanings set forth in Section 18. This Warrant is being issued pursuant to Section 2.1 of that certain Securities Purchase Agreement, dated as of February 1, 2024 (the “Subscription Date”), by and between the Company and the Holder (the “Securities Purchase Agreement”). Capitalized terms used herein and not otherwise defined shall have the definitions ascribed to such terms in the Securities Purchase Agreement.

1.
EXERCISE OF WARRANT.
(a)
Mechanics of Exercise. Subject to the terms and conditions hereof (including, without limitation, the limitations set forth in Section 1(f)), this Warrant may be exercised by the Holder at any time or times on or after the Issuance Date (the “Exercise Date”), in whole or in part, by (i) delivery of a written notice, in the form attached hereto as Exhibit A (the “Exercise Notice”), of the Holder’s election to exercise this Warrant and (ii) (A) payment to the Company of an amount equal to the applicable Exercise Price multiplied by the number of Warrant Shares as to which this Warrant is being

 

 

 


 

exercised (the “Aggregate Exercise Price”) in cash by wire transfer of immediately available funds or (B) if the provisions of Section 1(d) are applicable, by notifying the Company that this Warrant is being exercised pursuant to a Cashless Exercise. The Holder shall not be required to physically surrender this Warrant to the Company until the Holder has purchased all of the Warrant Shares available hereunder and the Warrant has been exercised in full, in which case the Holder shall surrender this Warrant to the Company for cancellation within three (3) Trading Days after the date the Warrant Shares which are the subject of the final Exercise Notice are delivered to the Holder. Partial exercises of this Warrant resulting in purchases of a portion of the total number of Warrant Shares available hereunder shall have the effect of lowering the outstanding number of Warrant Shares purchasable hereunder in an amount equal to the applicable number of Warrant Shares purchased. The Holder and the Company shall maintain records showing the number of Warrant Shares purchased and the date of such purchases. The Holder and any assignee, by acceptance of this Warrant, acknowledge and agree that, by reason of the provisions of this paragraph, following the purchase of a portion of the Warrant Shares hereunder, the number of Warrant Shares available for purchase hereunder at any given time may be less than the amount stated on the face hereof. On or before the third (3rd) Trading Day following the date on which the Company has received the Exercise Notice (the “Share Delivery Date”), so long as the Holder delivers the Aggregate Exercise Price (or notice of a Cashless Exercise) on or prior to the second (2nd) Trading Day following the date on which the Company has received the Exercise Notice (provided that if the Aggregate Exercise Price (or notice of a Cashless Exercise) has not been delivered by such date, the Share Delivery Date shall be extended one (1) Trading Day after the Aggregate Exercise Price (or notice of a Cashless Exercise) is delivered), the Company shall (X) provided that the Company’s transfer agent (“Transfer Agent”) is participating in The Depository Trust Company (“DTC”) Fast Automated Securities Transfer Program (“FAST”) and the Warrant Shares are eligible to be issued without a restrictive legend, credit such aggregate number of Warrant Shares to which the Holder is entitled pursuant to such exercise to the Holder’s or its designee’s balance account with DTC through its Deposit/Withdrawal At Custodian system, or (Y) if the Transfer Agent is not participating in FAST or the Warrant Shares are not eligible to be issued without a restrictive legend, issue and dispatch by overnight courier to the address as specified in the Exercise Notice, a certificate, registered in the Company’s share register in the name of the Holder or its designee, for the number of Warrant Shares to which the Holder is entitled pursuant to such exercise. The Company shall be responsible for all fees and expenses of the Transfer Agent and all fees and expenses with respect to the issuance of Warrant Shares via DTC, if any. Upon delivery of the Exercise Notice and the Aggregate Exercise Price (or notice of a Cashless Exercise), the Holder shall be deemed for all corporate purposes to have become the holder of record of the Warrant Shares with respect to which this Warrant has been exercised, irrespective of the date such Warrant Shares are credited to the Holder’s DTC account or the date of delivery of the certificates evidencing such Warrant Shares, as the case may be. If this Warrant is submitted in connection with any exercise pursuant to this Section 1(a) and the number of Warrant Shares represented by this Warrant submitted for exercise is greater than the number of Warrant Shares being acquired upon an exercise, then the Company shall as soon as practicable and in no event later than three (3) Trading Days after any exercise and at its own expense, issue a new Warrant (in accordance with Section 7(d)) representing the right to purchase the number of Warrant Shares issuable immediately prior to such exercise under this Warrant, less the number of Warrant Shares with respect to which this Warrant is exercised upon surrender of the Warrant so exercised. No fractional Warrant Shares are to be issued upon the exercise of this Warrant, but rather the number of Warrant Shares to be issued shall be rounded up to the nearest whole number. The Company shall pay any and all taxes which may be payable with respect to the issuance and delivery of Warrant Shares upon exercise of this Warrant; provided, however, that in the event certificates for Warrant Shares are to be issued in a name other than the name of the Holder, this Warrant when surrendered for exercise shall be accompanied by the Assignment Form attached hereto duly executed by the Holder and the Company may require, as a condition thereto, the payment of a sum sufficient to reimburse it for any transfer tax incidental thereto. The Company’s obligations to issue and deliver Warrant Shares in accordance with the terms and subject to the conditions hereof are absolute and

2

 

 

 


 

unconditional, irrespective of any action or inaction by the Holder 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.
(b)
Exercise Price. For purposes of this Warrant, “Exercise Price” means $1.25, subject to adjustment as provided herein.
(c)
Company’s Failure to Timely Deliver Securities. If the Company shall fail, for any reason or for no reason, on or prior to the Share Delivery Date, if the Transfer Agent is not participating in FAST or such shares of Common Stock may not be issued without legends under the 1933 Act, to issue and deliver to the Holder (or its designee) a certificate for the number of Warrant Shares to which the Holder is entitled and register such Warrant Shares on the Company’s share register or, if the Transfer Agent is participating in FAST and such shares of Common Stock may not be issued without legends under the 1933 Act, to credit the balance account of the Holder or the Holder’s designee with DTC for such number of Warrant Shares to which the Holder is entitled upon the Holder’s exercise of this Warrant (as the case may be) (a “Delivery Failure”), then, in addition to all other remedies available to the Holder, (X) the Company shall pay in cash to the Holder on each day after the Share Delivery Date and during such Delivery Failure an amount in cash, as liquidated damages and not as a penalty, equal to 2.0% of the product of (A) the sum of the number of shares of Common Stock not issued to the Holder on or prior to the Share Delivery Date and to which the Holder is entitled, and (B) any trading price of the Common Stock selected by the Holder in writing as in effect at any time during the period beginning on the applicable Exercise Date and ending on the applicable Share Delivery Date, and (Y) the Holder, upon written notice to the Company, may void its Exercise Notice with respect to, and retain or have returned, as the case may be, any portion of this Warrant that has not been exercised pursuant to such Exercise Notice; provided that the voiding of an Exercise Notice shall not affect the Company’s obligations to make any payments which have accrued prior to the date of such notice pursuant to this Section 1(c) or otherwise. In addition to the foregoing, if on or after such Share Delivery 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 shares of Common Stock issuable upon such exercise that the Holder is entitled to receive from the Company (a “Buy-In”), then, in addition to all other remedies available to the Holder, the Company shall, within three (3) Business Days after the Holder’s request and in the Holder’s discretion, either (i) pay cash to the Holder in an amount equal to 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, without limitation, by any other Person in respect, or on behalf, of the Holder) (the “Buy-In Price”), at which point the Company’s obligation to so issue and deliver such certificate (and to issue such shares of Common Stock) or credit the balance account of such Holder or such Holder’s designee, as applicable, with DTC for the number of Warrant Shares to which the Holder is entitled upon the Holder’s exercise hereunder (as the case may be) (and to issue such Warrant Shares) shall terminate, or (ii) promptly honor its obligation to so issue and deliver to the Holder a certificate or certificates representing such Warrant Shares or credit the balance account of such Holder or such Holder’s designee, as applicable, with DTC for the number of Warrant Shares to which the Holder is entitled upon the Holder’s exercise hereunder (as the case may be) and pay cash to the Holder in an amount equal to the excess (if any) of the Buy-In Price over the product of (A) such number of Warrant Shares multiplied by (B) the Closing Sale Price of the Common Stock on the Share Delivery Date with respect to the related Exercise Notice (the “Buy-In Payment Amount”). The Holder shall provide the Company written notice indicating the amounts payable to the Holder in respect of the Buy-In and, upon request of the Company, evidence of the amount of such loss. Nothing shall limit the Holder’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 certificates representing shares of Common Stock (or to

3

 

 

 


 

electronically deliver such shares of Common Stock) upon the exercise of this Warrant as required pursuant to the terms hereof.
(d)
Cashless Exercise. Notwithstanding anything contained herein to the contrary (other than Section 1(f) below), if at the time of exercise hereof there is no effective registration statement registering, or the prospectus contained therein is not available for the resale of the Warrant Shares by the Holder, then this Warrant may also be exercised, in whole or in part, and, subject to the provisions of Section 1(a), in lieu of making the cash payment otherwise contemplated to be made to the Company upon such exercise in payment of the Aggregate Exercise Price, by means of a “Cashless Exercise” in which the Holder shall be entitled to receive upon such exercise the “Net Number” of Warrant Shares determined according to the following formula:

Net Number = (A x B) - (A x C)

B

For purposes of the foregoing formula:

A= the total number of shares with respect to which this Warrant is then being exercised.

B = the quotient of (x) the sum of the VWAP of the Common Stock of each of the five (5) Trading Days ending at the close of business on the Principal Market immediately prior to the time of exercise as set forth in the applicable Exercise Notice, divided by (y) five (5).

C = the Exercise Price then in effect for the applicable Warrant Shares at the time of such exercise.

 

If Warrant Shares are issued in a Cashless Exercise, the parties acknowledge and agree that in accordance with Section 3(a)(9) of the 1933 Act, the Warrant Shares shall take on the characteristics of the Warrants being exercised, and the holding period of the Warrant Shares being issued may be tacked on to the holding period of this Warrant. The Company agrees not to take any position contrary to this Section 2(c). Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, on the Expiration Date, this Warrant shall be automatically exercised via Cashless Exercise pursuant to this Section 2(c).

 

(e)
Disputes. In the case of a dispute as to the determination of the Exercise Price or the arithmetic calculation of the Warrant Shares, the Company shall promptly issue to the Holder the number of Warrant Shares that are not disputed and resolve such dispute in accordance with Section 12.

 

(f)
Limitations on Exercises. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, prior to the Company obtaining Shareholder Approval (as defined below), the Company shall not effect the exercise of any portion of this Warrant, and the Holder shall not have the right to exercise any portion of this Warrant, pursuant to the terms and conditions of this Warrant and any such exercise shall be null and void and treated as if never made, to the extent that after giving effect to such exercise, the aggregate amount of shares of Common Stock issued pursuant to (i) the exercise of this Warrant, (ii) the exercise of Warrant No. TW-2 issued by the Company to the Holder as of even date herewith, and (iii) the conversion of senior secured convertible promissory notes issued by the Company to the Holder pursuant to that certain Note Purchase Agreement with the Company, dated as of even date herewith would exceed 432,283 shares of Common Stock (the “Maximum Amount”, subject to appropriate adjustment for any stock dividend, stock split, stock combination, rights offerings, reclassification or similar transaction that proportionately decreases or increases the Common Stock). In addition, at all times, regardless of whether the Company has obtained Shareholder Approval, the Company shall not effect the exercise of any portion of this Warrant, and the Holder shall not have the right to exercise any portion of this Warrant, pursuant to the terms and conditions of this Warrant and any such exercise shall be null and void and treated

4

 

 

 


 

as if never made, to the extent that after giving effect to such exercise, the Holder together with the other Attribution Parties collectively would beneficially own in excess of 4.99% (the “Maximum Percentage”) of the number of shares of Common Stock outstanding immediately after giving effect to such exercise. For purposes of the foregoing sentence, the aggregate number of shares of Common Stock beneficially owned by the Holder and the other Attribution Parties shall include the number of shares of Common Stock held by the Holder and all other Attribution Parties plus the number of shares of Common Stock issuable upon exercise of this Warrant with respect to which the determination of such sentence is being made, but shall exclude the number of shares of Common Stock which would be issuable upon (A) exercise of the remaining, unexercised portion of this Warrant beneficially owned by the Holder or any of the other Attribution Parties and (B) exercise or conversion of the unexercised or unconverted portion of any other securities of the Company (including, without limitation, any convertible notes or convertible preferred stock or warrants) beneficially owned by the Holder or any other Attribution Party subject to a limitation on conversion or exercise analogous to the limitation contained in this Section 1(f). For purposes of this Section 1(f), beneficial ownership shall be calculated in accordance with Section 13(d) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “1934 Act”). For purposes of this Warrant, in determining the number of outstanding shares of Common Stock the Holder may acquire upon the exercise of this Warrant without exceeding the Maximum Percentage, the Holder may rely on the number of outstanding shares of Common Stock as reflected in (x) the Company’s most recent Annual Report on Form 10-K, Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q, Current Report on Form 8-K or other public filing with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”), as the case may be, (y) a more recent public announcement by the Company or (z) any other written notice by the Company or the Transfer Agent setting forth the number of shares of Common Stock outstanding (the “Reported Outstanding Share Number”). If the Company receives an Exercise Notice from the Holder at a time when the actual number of outstanding shares of Common Stock is less than the Reported Outstanding Share Number, the Company shall (i) notify the Holder in writing of the number of shares of Common Stock then outstanding and, to the extent that such Exercise Notice would otherwise cause the Holder’s beneficial ownership, as determined pursuant to this Section 1(f), to exceed the Maximum Percentage, the Holder must notify the Company of a reduced number of Warrant Shares to be purchased pursuant to such Exercise Notice (the number of shares by which such purchase is reduced, the “Reduction Shares”) and (ii) as soon as reasonably practicable, the Company shall return to the Holder any exercise price paid by the Holder for the Reduction Shares. For any reason at any time, upon the written or oral request of the Holder, the Company shall within one (1) Business Day confirm orally and in writing or by electronic mail to the Holder the number of shares of Common Stock then outstanding. In any case, the number of outstanding shares of Common Stock shall be determined after giving effect to the conversion or exercise of securities of the Company, including this Warrant, by the Holder and any other Attribution Party since the date as of which the Reported Outstanding Share Number was reported. In the event that the issuance of shares of Common Stock to the Holder upon exercise of this Warrant results in the Holder and the other Attribution Parties being deemed to beneficially own, in the aggregate, more than the Maximum Percentage of the number of outstanding shares of Common Stock (as determined under Section 13(d) of the 1934 Act), the number of shares so issued by which the Holder’s and the other Attribution Parties’ aggregate beneficial ownership exceeds the Maximum Percentage (the “Excess Shares”) shall be deemed null and void and shall be cancelled ab initio, and the Holder shall not have the power to vote or to transfer the Excess Shares. As soon as reasonably practicable after the issuance of the Excess Shares has been deemed null and void, the Company shall return to the Holder the exercise price paid by the Holder for the Excess Shares. Upon delivery of a written notice to the Company, the Holder may from time to time increase (with such increase not effective until the sixty-first (61st) day after delivery of such notice) or decrease the Maximum Percentage to any other percentage not in excess of 9.99% as specified in such notice; provided that (i) any such increase in the Maximum Percentage will not be effective until the sixty-first (61st) day after such notice is delivered to the Company and (ii) any such increase or decrease will apply only to the Holder and the other Attribution Parties and not to any other holder that is not an Attribution Party of the Holder. For purposes of clarity, the shares of Common Stock issuable pursuant to

5

 

 

 


 

the terms of this Warrant in excess of the Maximum Percentage shall not be deemed to be beneficially owned by the Holder for any purpose including for purposes of Section 13(d) or Rule 16a-1(a)(1) of the 1934 Act. No prior inability to exercise this Warrant pursuant to this paragraph shall have any effect on the applicability of the provisions of this paragraph with respect to any subsequent determination of exercisability. The provisions of this paragraph shall be construed and implemented in a manner otherwise than in strict conformity with the terms of this Section 1(f) to the extent necessary to correct this paragraph or any portion of this paragraph which may be defective or inconsistent with the intended beneficial ownership limitation contained in this Section 1(f) or to make changes or supplements necessary or desirable to properly give effect to such limitation. The limitation contained in this paragraph may not be waived and shall apply to a successor holder of this Warrant. For the purposes hereof “Shareholder Approval” means the approval of the holders of a sufficient amount of holders of the Common Stock to satisfy the shareholder approval requirements for such action as provided in Nasdaq Listing Rule 5635(a), to effectuate the issuance of the Warrant Shares in excess of the Maximum Amount (the “Exchange Cap” The Company shall hold a special meeting of shareholders on or before the date that is thirty (30) calendar days after the date that the Exchange Cap is reached for any Holder, for the purpose of obtaining the Shareholder Approval, with the recommendation of the Company’s board of directors that such proposal be approved, and the Company shall solicit proxies from its shareholders in connection therewith in the same manner as all other management proposals in such proxy statement and all management-appointed proxyholders shall vote their proxies in favor of such proposal. The Company shall use its reasonable best efforts to obtain such Shareholder Approval. If the Company does not obtain Shareholder Approval at the first meeting, the Company shall call a meeting as often as possible thereafter to seek Shareholder Approval until the Shareholder Approval is obtained. Until such approval is obtained, the Holder shall not be issued shares of Common Stock in an amount greater than the Exchange Cap. In the event that a Holder shall sell or otherwise transfer this Warrant, the transferee shall be allocated a pro rata portion of the Exchange Cap, and the restrictions herein shall apply to such transferee with respect to the portion of the Exchange Cap allocated to such transferee.
(g)
Insufficient Authorized Shares. If at any time while this Warrant remains outstanding the Company does not have a sufficient number of authorized and unreserved shares of Common Stock to satisfy its obligation to reserve for issuance upon exercise of this Warrant at least a number of shares of Common Stock equal to the number of shares of Common Stock as shall from time to time be necessary to effect the exercise of all of this Warrant then outstanding (the “Required Reserve Amount” and the failure to have such sufficient number of authorized and unreserved shares of Common Stock, an “Authorized Share Failure”), then the Company shall immediately take all action necessary to increase the Company’s authorized shares of Common Stock to an amount sufficient to allow the Company to reserve the Required Reserve Amount for this Warrant then outstanding. 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 shares of Common Stock. 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 shares of Common Stock and to cause its board of directors to recommend to the stockholders that they approve such proposal. In the event that the Company is prohibited from issuing shares of Common Stock upon an exercise of this Warrant due to the failure by the Company to have sufficient shares of Common Stock available out of the authorized but unissued shares of Common Stock (such unavailable number of shares of Common Stock, the “Authorization Failure Shares”), in lieu of delivering such Authorization Failure Shares to the Holder, the Company shall pay cash in exchange for the cancellation of such portion of this Warrant exercisable into such Authorization Failure Shares at a price equal to the sum of (i) the product of (x) such number of Authorization Failure Shares and (y) the Closing Sale Price of the Common Stock on the date the Holder delivers the applicable Exercise Notice with respect to such

6

 

 

 


 

Authorization Failure Shares to the Company; and (ii) to the extent 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 Authorization Failure Shares, any Buy-In Payment Amount, brokerage commissions and other out-of-pocket expenses, if any, of the Holder incurred in connection therewith. Nothing contained in this Section 1(g) shall limit any obligations of the Company under any provision of the Securities Purchase Agreement or that certain Note Purchase Agreement, dated as of February 1, 2024, by and among the Company, CLMBR Holdings LLC, a Delaware limited liability company, and the Holder (the “Note Purchase Agreement”).
2.
ADJUSTMENT OF EXERCISE PRICE AND NUMBER OF WARRANT SHARES. The Exercise Price and the number of Warrant Shares shall be adjusted from time to time as follows:
(h)
Voluntary Adjustment By Company. The Company may at any time during the term of this Warrant, with the prior written consent of the Holder, reduce the then current Exercise Price to any amount and for any period of time deemed appropriate by the Board of Directors of the Company.
(i)
Adjustment Upon Subdivision or Combination of Shares of Common Stock. If the Company at any time on or after the Subscription Date subdivides (by any stock split, stock dividend, recapitalization or otherwise) one or more classes of its outstanding shares of Common Stock into a greater number of shares, the Exercise Price in effect immediately prior to such subdivision will be proportionately reduced and the number of Warrant Shares will be proportionately increased. If the Company at any time on or after the Subscription Date combines (by combination, reverse stock split or otherwise) one or more classes of its outstanding shares of Common Stock into a smaller number of shares, the Exercise Price in effect immediately prior to such combination will be proportionately increased and the number of Warrant Shares will be proportionately decreased. Any adjustment under this Section 2(b) shall become effective at the close of business on the date the subdivision or combination becomes effective.
(j)
Par Value. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Warrant, in no event shall the Exercise Price be reduced below the par value of the Company’s Common Stock.
3.
RIGHTS UPON DISTRIBUTION OF ASSETS.

Notwithstanding the foregoing, and without limiting Section 1(f) hereof, the Holder may elect, at its sole option, by delivery of written notice to the Company to waive this Section 4(b) to permit the Fundamental Transaction without the assumption of this Warrant.

In addition to and not in substitution for any other rights hereunder, prior to the consummation of each Fundamental Transaction pursuant to which holders of shares of Common Stock are entitled to receive securities or other assets with respect to or in exchange for shares of Common Stock (a “Corporate Event”), the Company shall make appropriate provision to insure that the Holder will thereafter have the right to receive upon an exercise of this Warrant at any time after the consummation of the applicable Fundamental Transaction but prior to the Expiration Date, in lieu of the shares of the Common Stock (or other securities, cash, assets or other property (except such items still issuable under Sections 3 and 4(a) above, which shall continue to be receivable thereafter)) issuable upon the exercise of the Warrant prior to such Fundamental Transaction, such shares of stock, securities, cash, assets or any other property whatsoever (including warrants or other purchase or subscription rights) which the Holder would have been entitled to receive upon the happening of the applicable Fundamental Transaction had this Warrant been exercised immediately prior to the applicable Fundamental Transaction (without regard to any limitations on the exercise of this Warrant). Provision made pursuant to the preceding sentence shall be in a form and substance reasonably satisfactory to the Holder.

The Company hereby irrevocably submits to the exclusive jurisdiction of the state and federal courts sitting in The City of New York, Borough of Manhattan, for the adjudication of any dispute hereunder or in connection herewith or with any transaction contemplated hereby or discussed herein, and hereby irrevocably waives, and agrees not to assert in any suit, action or proceeding, any claim that it is not personally subject to the jurisdiction of any such court, that such suit, action or proceeding is brought in an inconvenient forum or that the venue of such suit, action or proceeding is improper.

collateral or any other security for such obligations, or to enforce a judgment or other court ruling in favor of the Holder. THE COMPANY HEREBY IRREVOCABLY WAIVES ANY RIGHT IT MAY HAVE, AND AGREES NOT TO REQUEST, A JURY TRIAL FOR THE ADJUDICATION OF ANY DISPUTE HEREUNDER OR IN CONNECTION WITH OR ARISING OUT OF THIS WARRANT OR ANY TRANSACTION CONTEMPLATED HEREBY.
11.
CONSTRUCTION; HEADINGS; BUSINESS DAYS. This Warrant shall be deemed to be jointly drafted by the Company and the Holder and shall not be construed against any Person as the drafter hereof. The headings of this Warrant are for convenience of reference and shall not form part of, or affect the interpretation of, this Warrant.

12.
DISPUTE RESOLUTION. In the case of a dispute as to the determination of the Exercise Price or the arithmetic calculation of the Warrant Shares, the Company shall submit the disputed determinations or arithmetic calculations via facsimile or electronic mail within two (2) Business Days of receipt of the Exercise Notice giving rise to such dispute, as the case may be, to the Holder. If the Holder and the Company are unable to agree upon such determination or calculation of the Exercise Price or the Warrant Shares within three (3) Business Days of such disputed determination or arithmetic calculation being submitted to the Holder, then the Company shall, within two (2) Business Days submit via facsimile or electronic mail the dispute to a nationally recognized accounting firm selected by the Holder and reasonably satisfactory to the Company. If the Company does not object in writing to the selection of the accounting firm within two (2) Business Days of notice of the Holder’s selection, the Company will have deemed to have consented to such selection.

The Company shall cause at its expense the accepted accounting firm to perform the determinations or calculations and notify the Company and the Holder of the results no later than three (3) Business Days from the time it receives the disputed determinations or calculations. Such accounting firm’s determination or calculation, as the case may be, shall be binding upon all parties absent demonstrable error. In the event that the accounting firm resolves the dispute in the Holder’s favor, a Delivery Failure will be deemed to have occurred and the Buy-In and other remedies available to the Holder under Section 1(c) will apply.
13.
REMEDIES, OTHER OBLIGATIONS, BREACHES AND INJUNCTIVE RELIEF. The remedies provided in this Warrant shall be cumulative and in addition to all other remedies available under this Warrant and the other Note Documents, at law or in equity (including a decree of specific performance and/or other injunctive relief), and nothing herein shall limit the right of the Holder to pursue actual damages for any failure by the Company to comply with the terms of this Warrant. The Company acknowledges that a breach by it of its obligations hereunder will cause irreparable harm to the Holder and that the remedy at law for any such breach may be inadequate. The Company therefore agrees that, in the event of any such breach or threatened breach, the Holder shall be entitled, in addition to all other available remedies, to an injunction restraining any breach, without the necessity of showing economic loss and without any bond or other security being required.
14.
TRANSFER. This Warrant and the Warrant Shares may be offered for sale, sold, transferred, pledged or assigned without the consent of the Company, subject to compliance with applicable state and federal securities laws. The Holder acknowledges that the Warrant Shares acquired upon the exercise of this Warrant, if not registered, and the Holder does not utilize cashless exercise, will have restrictions upon resale imposed by state and federal securities laws.

15.
SEVERABILITY. If any provision of this Warrant is prohibited by law or otherwise determined to be invalid or unenforceable by a court of competent jurisdiction, the provision that would otherwise be prohibited, invalid or unenforceable shall be deemed amended to apply to the broadest extent that it would be valid and enforceable, and the invalidity or unenforceability of such provision shall not affect the validity of the remaining provisions of this Warrant so long as this Warrant as so modified continues to express, without material change, the original intentions of the parties as to the subject matter hereof and the prohibited nature, invalidity or unenforceability of the provision(s) in question does not substantially impair the respective expectations or reciprocal obligations of the parties or the practical realization of the benefits that would otherwise be conferred upon the parties. The parties will endeavor in good faith negotiations to replace the prohibited, invalid or unenforceable provision(s) with a valid provision(s), the effect of which comes as close as possible to that of the prohibited, invalid or unenforceable provision(s).

Warrant To Purchase Common Stock

Warrant No.: TW-2

Number of Shares of Common Stock: 1,500,000

Date of Issuance: February 1, 2024 (“Issuance Date”)

Interactive Strength Inc., a Delaware corporation (the “Company”), hereby certifies that, for good and valuable consideration, the receipt and sufficiency of which are hereby acknowledged, Treadway Holdings LLC, the registered holder hereof or its permitted assigns (the “Holder”), is entitled, subject to the terms set forth below, to purchase from the Company, at the Exercise Price (as defined below) then in effect, at any time or times on or after the Issuance Date, but not after 11:59 p.m., New York time, on the Expiration Date, (as defined below), One Million Five Hundred Thousand (1,500,000) fully paid nonassessable shares of Common Stock, subject to adjustment as provided herein (the “Warrant Shares”). Except as otherwise defined herein, capitalized terms in this Warrant to Purchase Common Stock (including any Warrants to Purchase Common Stock issued in exchange, transfer or replacement hereof, this “Warrant”) shall have the meanings set forth in Section 18. This Warrant is being issued pursuant to Section 2.1 of that certain Securities Purchase Agreement, dated as of February 1, 2024 (the “Subscription Date”), by and between the Company and the Holder (the “Securities Purchase Agreement”). Capitalized terms used herein and not otherwise defined shall have the definitions ascribed to such terms in the Securities Purchase Agreement.

1.
EXERCISE OF WARRANT.
(a)
Mechanics of Exercise. Subject to the terms and conditions hereof (including, without limitation, the limitations set forth in Section 1(f)), this Warrant may be exercised by the Holder at any time or times on or after the Issuance Date (the “Exercise Date”), in whole or in part, by (i) delivery of a written notice, in the form attached hereto as Exhibit A (the “Exercise Notice”), of the Holder’s election to exercise this Warrant and (ii) (A) payment to the Company of an amount equal to the applicable Exercise Price multiplied by the number of Warrant Shares as to which this Warrant is being

 

 

 


 

exercised (the “Aggregate Exercise Price”) in cash by wire transfer of immediately available funds or (B) if the provisions of Section 1(d) are applicable, by notifying the Company that this Warrant is being exercised pursuant to a Cashless Exercise. The Holder shall not be required to physically surrender this Warrant to the Company until the Holder has purchased all of the Warrant Shares available hereunder and the Warrant has been exercised in full, in which case the Holder shall surrender this Warrant to the Company for cancellation within three (3) Trading Days after the date the Warrant Shares which are the subject of the final Exercise Notice are delivered to the Holder. Partial exercises of this Warrant resulting in purchases of a portion of the total number of Warrant Shares available hereunder shall have the effect of lowering the outstanding number of Warrant Shares purchasable hereunder in an amount equal to the applicable number of Warrant Shares purchased. The Holder and the Company shall maintain records showing the number of Warrant Shares purchased and the date of such purchases. The Holder and any assignee, by acceptance of this Warrant, acknowledge and agree that, by reason of the provisions of this paragraph, following the purchase of a portion of the Warrant Shares hereunder, the number of Warrant Shares available for purchase hereunder at any given time may be less than the amount stated on the face hereof. On or before the third (3rd) Trading Day following the date on which the Company has received the Exercise Notice (the “Share Delivery Date”), so long as the Holder delivers the Aggregate Exercise Price (or notice of a Cashless Exercise) on or prior to the second (2nd) Trading Day following the date on which the Company has received the Exercise Notice (provided that if the Aggregate Exercise Price (or notice of a Cashless Exercise) has not been delivered by such date, the Share Delivery Date shall be extended one (1) Trading Day after the Aggregate Exercise Price (or notice of a Cashless Exercise) is delivered), the Company shall (X) provided that the Company’s transfer agent (“Transfer Agent”) is participating in The Depository Trust Company (“DTC”) Fast Automated Securities Transfer Program (“FAST”) and the Warrant Shares are eligible to be issued without a restrictive legend, credit such aggregate number of Warrant Shares to which the Holder is entitled pursuant to such exercise to the Holder’s or its designee’s balance account with DTC through its Deposit/Withdrawal At Custodian system, or (Y) if the Transfer Agent is not participating in FAST or the Warrant Shares are not eligible to be issued without a restrictive legend, issue and dispatch by overnight courier to the address as specified in the Exercise Notice, a certificate, registered in the Company’s share register in the name of the Holder or its designee, for the number of Warrant Shares to which the Holder is entitled pursuant to such exercise. The Company shall be responsible for all fees and expenses of the Transfer Agent and all fees and expenses with respect to the issuance of Warrant Shares via DTC, if any. Upon delivery of the Exercise Notice and the Aggregate Exercise Price (or notice of a Cashless Exercise), the Holder shall be deemed for all corporate purposes to have become the holder of record of the Warrant Shares with respect to which this Warrant has been exercised, irrespective of the date such Warrant Shares are credited to the Holder’s DTC account or the date of delivery of the certificates evidencing such Warrant Shares, as the case may be. If this Warrant is submitted in connection with any exercise pursuant to this Section 1(a) and the number of Warrant Shares represented by this Warrant submitted for exercise is greater than the number of Warrant Shares being acquired upon an exercise, then the Company shall as soon as practicable and in no event later than three (3) Trading Days after any exercise and at its own expense, issue a new Warrant (in accordance with Section 7(d)) representing the right to purchase the number of Warrant Shares issuable immediately prior to such exercise under this Warrant, less the number of Warrant Shares with respect to which this Warrant is exercised upon surrender of the Warrant so exercised. No fractional Warrant Shares are to be issued upon the exercise of this Warrant, but rather the number of Warrant Shares to be issued shall be rounded up to the nearest whole number. The Company shall pay any and all taxes which may be payable with respect to the issuance and delivery of Warrant Shares upon exercise of this Warrant; provided, however, that in the event certificates for Warrant Shares are to be issued in a name other than the name of the Holder, this Warrant when surrendered for exercise shall be accompanied by the Assignment Form attached hereto duly executed by the Holder and the Company may require, as a condition thereto, the payment of a sum sufficient to reimburse it for any transfer tax incidental thereto. The Company’s obligations to issue and deliver Warrant Shares in accordance with the terms and subject to the conditions hereof are absolute and unconditional, irrespective of any action or inaction by the Holder to enforce the same, any waiver or

2

 

 


 

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.
(b)
Exercise Price. For purposes of this Warrant, “Exercise Price” means $1.75, subject to adjustment as provided herein.
(c)
Company’s Failure to Timely Deliver Securities. If the Company shall fail, for any reason or for no reason, on or prior to the Share Delivery Date, if the Transfer Agent is not participating in FAST or such shares of Common Stock may not be issued without legends under the 1933 Act, to issue and deliver to the Holder (or its designee) a certificate for the number of Warrant Shares to which the Holder is entitled and register such Warrant Shares on the Company’s share register or, if the Transfer Agent is participating in FAST and such shares of Common Stock may not be issued without legends under the 1933 Act, to credit the balance account of the Holder or the Holder’s designee with DTC for such number of Warrant Shares to which the Holder is entitled upon the Holder’s exercise of this Warrant (as the case may be) (a “Delivery Failure”), then, in addition to all other remedies available to the Holder, (X) the Company shall pay in cash to the Holder on each day after the Share Delivery Date and during such Delivery Failure an amount in cash, as liquidated damages and not as a penalty, equal to 2.0% of the product of (A) the sum of the number of shares of Common Stock not issued to the Holder on or prior to the Share Delivery Date and to which the Holder is entitled, and (B) any trading price of the Common Stock selected by the Holder in writing as in effect at any time during the period beginning on the applicable Exercise Date and ending on the applicable Share Delivery Date, and (Y) the Holder, upon written notice to the Company, may void its Exercise Notice with respect to, and retain or have returned, as the case may be, any portion of this Warrant that has not been exercised pursuant to such Exercise Notice; provided that the voiding of an Exercise Notice shall not affect the Company’s obligations to make any payments which have accrued prior to the date of such notice pursuant to this Section 1(c) or otherwise. In addition to the foregoing, if on or after such Share Delivery 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 shares of Common Stock issuable upon such exercise that the Holder is entitled to receive from the Company (a “Buy-In”), then, in addition to all other remedies available to the Holder, the Company shall, within three (3) Business Days after the Holder’s request and in the Holder’s discretion, either (i) pay cash to the Holder in an amount equal to 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, without limitation, by any other Person in respect, or on behalf, of the Holder) (the “Buy-In Price”), at which point the Company’s obligation to so issue and deliver such certificate (and to issue such shares of Common Stock) or credit the balance account of such Holder or such Holder’s designee, as applicable, with DTC for the number of Warrant Shares to which the Holder is entitled upon the Holder’s exercise hereunder (as the case may be) (and to issue such Warrant Shares) shall terminate, or (ii) promptly honor its obligation to so issue and deliver to the Holder a certificate or certificates representing such Warrant Shares or credit the balance account of such Holder or such Holder’s designee, as applicable, with DTC for the number of Warrant Shares to which the Holder is entitled upon the Holder’s exercise hereunder (as the case may be) and pay cash to the Holder in an amount equal to the excess (if any) of the Buy-In Price over the product of (A) such number of Warrant Shares multiplied by (B) the Closing Sale Price of the Common Stock on the Share Delivery Date with respect to the related Exercise Notice (the “Buy-In Payment Amount”). The Holder shall provide the Company written notice indicating the amounts payable to the Holder in respect of the Buy-In and, upon request of the Company, evidence of the amount of such loss. Nothing shall limit the Holder’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 certificates representing shares of Common Stock (or to electronically deliver such shares of Common Stock) upon the exercise of this Warrant as required pursuant to the terms hereof.

(d)
Cashless Exercise. Notwithstanding anything contained herein to the contrary (other than Section 1(f) below), if at the time of exercise hereof there is no effective registration statement registering, or the prospectus contained therein is not available for the resale of the Warrant Shares by the Holder, then this Warrant may also be exercised, in whole or in part, and, subject to the provisions of Section 1(a), in lieu of making the cash payment otherwise contemplated to be made to the Company upon such exercise in payment of the Aggregate Exercise Price, by means of a “Cashless Exercise” in which the Holder shall be entitled to receive upon such exercise the “Net Number” of Warrant Shares determined according to the following formula:

Net Number = (A x B) - (A x C)

B

For purposes of the foregoing formula:

A= the total number of shares with respect to which this Warrant is then being exercised.

B = the quotient of (x) the sum of the VWAP of the Common Stock of each of the five (5) Trading Days ending at the close of business on the Principal Market immediately prior to the time of exercise as set forth in the applicable Exercise Notice, divided by (y) five (5).

C = the Exercise Price then in effect for the applicable Warrant Shares at the time of such exercise.

 

If Warrant Shares are issued in a Cashless Exercise, the parties acknowledge and agree that in accordance with Section 3(a)(9) of the 1933 Act, the Warrant Shares shall take on the characteristics of the Warrants being exercised, and the holding period of the Warrant Shares being issued may be tacked on to the holding period of this Warrant. The Company agrees not to take any position contrary to this Section 2(c). Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, on the Expiration Date, this Warrant shall be automatically exercised via Cashless Exercise pursuant to this Section 2(c).

 

(e)
Disputes. In the case of a dispute as to the determination of the Exercise Price or the arithmetic calculation of the Warrant Shares, the Company shall promptly issue to the Holder the number of Warrant Shares that are not disputed and resolve such dispute in accordance with Section 12.

 

(f)
Limitations on Exercises. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, prior to the Company obtaining Shareholder Approval (as defined below), the Company shall not effect the exercise of any portion of this Warrant, and the Holder shall not have the right to exercise any portion of this Warrant, pursuant to the terms and conditions of this Warrant and any such exercise shall be null and void and treated as if never made, to the extent that after giving effect to such exercise, the aggregate amount of shares of Common Stock issued pursuant to (i) the exercise of this Warrant, (ii) the exercise of Warrant No. TW-1 issued by the Company to the Holder as of even date herewith, and (iii) the conversion of senior secured convertible promissory notes issued by the Company to the Holder pursuant to that certain Note Purchase Agreement with the Company, dated as of even date herewith would exceed 432,283 shares of Common Stock (the “Maximum Amount”, subject to appropriate adjustment for any stock dividend, stock split, stock combination, rights offerings, reclassification or similar transaction that proportionately decreases or increases the Common Stock).. In addition, at all times, regardless of whether the Company has obtained Shareholder Approval, the Company shall not effect the exercise of any portion of this Warrant, and the Holder shall not have the right to exercise any portion of this Warrant, pursuant to the terms and conditions of this Warrant and any such exercise shall be null and void and treated as if never made, to the extent that after giving effect to such exercise, the Holder together with the other Attribution Parties collectively would beneficially own in excess of 4.99% (the “Maximum Percentage”, subject to appropriate adjustment for any stock dividend, stock split, stock combination, rights offerings,

4

 

 


 

reclassification or similar transaction that proportionately decreases or increases the Common Stock) of the number of shares of Common Stock outstanding immediately after giving effect to such exercise. For purposes of the foregoing sentence, the aggregate number of shares of Common Stock beneficially owned by the Holder and the other Attribution Parties shall include the number of shares of Common Stock held by the Holder and all other Attribution Parties plus the number of shares of Common Stock issuable upon exercise of this Warrant with respect to which the determination of such sentence is being made, but shall exclude the number of shares of Common Stock which would be issuable upon (A) exercise of the remaining, unexercised portion of this Warrant beneficially owned by the Holder or any of the other Attribution Parties and (B) exercise or conversion of the unexercised or unconverted portion of any other securities of the Company (including, without limitation, any convertible notes or convertible preferred stock or warrants) beneficially owned by the Holder or any other Attribution Party subject to a limitation on conversion or exercise analogous to the limitation contained in this Section 1(f). For purposes of this Section 1(f), beneficial ownership shall be calculated in accordance with Section 13(d) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “1934 Act”). For purposes of this Warrant, in determining the number of outstanding shares of Common Stock the Holder may acquire upon the exercise of this Warrant without exceeding the Maximum Percentage, the Holder may rely on the number of outstanding shares of Common Stock as reflected in (x) the Company’s most recent Annual Report on Form 10-K, Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q, Current Report on Form 8-K or other public filing with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”), as the case may be, (y) a more recent public announcement by the Company or (z) any other written notice by the Company or the Transfer Agent setting forth the number of shares of Common Stock outstanding (the “Reported Outstanding Share Number”). If the Company receives an Exercise Notice from the Holder at a time when the actual number of outstanding shares of Common Stock is less than the Reported Outstanding Share Number, the Company shall (i) notify the Holder in writing of the number of shares of Common Stock then outstanding and, to the extent that such Exercise Notice would otherwise cause the Holder’s beneficial ownership, as determined pursuant to this Section 1(f), to exceed the Maximum Percentage, the Holder must notify the Company of a reduced number of Warrant Shares to be purchased pursuant to such Exercise Notice (the number of shares by which such purchase is reduced, the “Reduction Shares”) and (ii) as soon as reasonably practicable, the Company shall return to the Holder any exercise price paid by the Holder for the Reduction Shares. For any reason at any time, upon the written or oral request of the Holder, the Company shall within one (1) Business Day confirm orally and in writing or by electronic mail to the Holder the number of shares of Common Stock then outstanding. In any case, the number of outstanding shares of Common Stock shall be determined after giving effect to the conversion or exercise of securities of the Company, including this Warrant, by the Holder and any other Attribution Party since the date as of which the Reported Outstanding Share Number was reported. In the event that the issuance of shares of Common Stock to the Holder upon exercise of this Warrant results in the Holder and the other Attribution Parties being deemed to beneficially own, in the aggregate, more than the Maximum Percentage of the number of outstanding shares of Common Stock (as determined under Section 13(d) of the 1934 Act), the number of shares so issued by which the Holder’s and the other Attribution Parties’ aggregate beneficial ownership exceeds the Maximum Percentage (the “Excess Shares”) shall be deemed null and void and shall be cancelled ab initio, and the Holder shall not have the power to vote or to transfer the Excess Shares. As soon as reasonably practicable after the issuance of the Excess Shares has been deemed null and void, the Company shall return to the Holder the exercise price paid by the Holder for the Excess Shares. Upon delivery of a written notice to the Company, the Holder may from time to time increase (with such increase not effective until the sixty-first (61st) day after delivery of such notice) or decrease the Maximum Percentage to any other percentage not in excess of 9.99% as specified in such notice; provided that (i) any such increase in the Maximum Percentage will not be effective until the sixty-first (61st) day after such notice is delivered to the Company and (ii) any such increase or decrease will apply only to the Holder and the other Attribution Parties and not to any other holder that is not an Attribution Party of the Holder. For purposes of clarity, the shares of Common Stock issuable pursuant to the terms of this Warrant in excess of the Maximum Percentage shall not be deemed to be beneficially owned by the Holder for any purpose including for purposes of Section 13(d) or Rule 16a-1(a)(1) of the

5

 

 


 

1934 Act. No prior inability to exercise this Warrant pursuant to this paragraph shall have any effect on the applicability of the provisions of this paragraph with respect to any subsequent determination of exercisability. The provisions of this paragraph shall be construed and implemented in a manner otherwise than in strict conformity with the terms of this Section 1(f) to the extent necessary to correct this paragraph or any portion of this paragraph which may be defective or inconsistent with the intended beneficial ownership limitation contained in this Section 1(f) or to make changes or supplements necessary or desirable to properly give effect to such limitation. The limitation contained in this paragraph may not be waived and shall apply to a successor holder of this Warrant. For the purposes hereof “Shareholder Approval” means the approval of the holders of a sufficient amount of holders of the Common Stock to satisfy the shareholder approval requirements for such action as provided in Nasdaq Listing Rule 5635(a), to effectuate the issuance of the Warrant Shares in excess of the Maximum Amount (the “Exchange Cap”). The Company shall hold a special meeting of shareholders on or before the date that is thirty (30) calendar days after the date that the Exchange Cap is reached for any Holder, for the purpose of obtaining the Shareholder Approval, with the recommendation of the Company’s board of directors that such proposal be approved, and the Company shall solicit proxies from its shareholders in connection therewith in the same manner as all other management proposals in such proxy statement and all management-appointed proxyholders shall vote their proxies in favor of such proposal. The Company shall use its reasonable best efforts to obtain such Shareholder Approval. If the Company does not obtain Shareholder Approval at the first meeting, the Company shall call a meeting as often as possible thereafter to seek Shareholder Approval until the Shareholder Approval is obtained. Until such approval is obtained, the Holder shall not be issued shares of Common Stock in an amount greater than the Exchange Cap. In the event that a Holder shall sell or otherwise transfer this Warrant, the transferee shall be allocated a pro rata portion of the Exchange Cap, and the restrictions herein shall apply to such transferee with respect to the portion of the Exchange Cap allocated to such transferee.
(g)
Insufficient Authorized Shares. If at any time while this Warrant remains outstanding the Company does not have a sufficient number of authorized and unreserved shares of Common Stock to satisfy its obligation to reserve for issuance upon exercise of this Warrant at least a number of shares of Common Stock equal to the number of shares of Common Stock as shall from time to time be necessary to effect the exercise of all of this Warrant then outstanding (the “Required Reserve Amount” and the failure to have such sufficient number of authorized and unreserved shares of Common Stock, an “Authorized Share Failure”), then the Company shall immediately take all action necessary to increase the Company’s authorized shares of Common Stock to an amount sufficient to allow the Company to reserve the Required Reserve Amount for this Warrant then outstanding. 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 shares of Common Stock. 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 shares of Common Stock and to cause its board of directors to recommend to the stockholders that they approve such proposal. In the event that the Company is prohibited from issuing shares of Common Stock upon an exercise of this Warrant due to the failure by the Company to have sufficient shares of Common Stock available out of the authorized but unissued shares of Common Stock (such unavailable number of shares of Common Stock, the “Authorization Failure Shares”), in lieu of delivering such Authorization Failure Shares to the Holder, the Company shall pay cash in exchange for the cancellation of such portion of this Warrant exercisable into such Authorization Failure Shares at a price equal to the sum of (i) the product of (x) such number of Authorization Failure Shares and (y) the Closing Sale Price of the Common Stock on the date the Holder delivers the applicable Exercise Notice with respect to such Authorization Failure Shares to the Company; and (ii) to the extent 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 Authorization Failure Shares, any Buy-In Payment Amount, brokerage commissions and other

6

 

 


 

out-of-pocket expenses, if any, of the Holder incurred in connection therewith. Nothing contained in this Section 1(g) shall limit any obligations of the Company under any provision of the Securities Purchase Agreement or that certain Note Purchase Agreement, dated as of February 1, 2024, by and among the Company, CLMBR Holdings LLC, a Delaware limited liability company, and the Holder (the “Note Purchase Agreement”).
2.
ADJUSTMENT OF EXERCISE PRICE AND NUMBER OF WARRANT SHARES. The Exercise Price and the number of Warrant Shares shall be adjusted from time to time as follows:
(h)
Voluntary Adjustment By Company. The Company may at any time during the term of this Warrant, with the prior written consent of the Holder, reduce the then current Exercise Price to any amount and for any period of time deemed appropriate by the Board of Directors of the Company.
(i)
Adjustment Upon Subdivision or Combination of Shares of Common Stock. If the Company at any time on or after the Subscription Date subdivides (by any stock split, stock dividend, recapitalization or otherwise) one or more classes of its outstanding shares of Common Stock into a greater number of shares, the Exercise Price in effect immediately prior to such subdivision will be proportionately reduced and the number of Warrant Shares will be proportionately increased. If the Company at any time on or after the Subscription Date combines (by combination, reverse stock split or otherwise) one or more classes of its outstanding shares of Common Stock into a smaller number of shares, the Exercise Price in effect immediately prior to such combination will be proportionately increased and the number of Warrant Shares will be proportionately decreased. Any adjustment under this Section 2(b) shall become effective at the close of business on the date the subdivision or combination becomes effective.
(j)
Par Value. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Warrant, in no event shall the Exercise Price be reduced below the par value of the Company’s Common Stock.
3.
RIGHTS UPON DISTRIBUTION OF ASSETS. In addition to any adjustments pursuant to Section 2 above, if the Company shall declare or make any dividend or other distribution of its assets (or rights to acquire its assets) to holders of shares of Common Stock, by way of return of capital or otherwise (including, without limitation, any distribution of cash, stock or other securities, property, options, evidence of indebtedness or any other assets by way of a dividend, spin off, reclassification, corporate rearrangement, scheme of arrangement or other similar transaction) (a “Distribution”), at any time after the issuance of this Warrant, then, in each such case, the Holder shall be entitled to participate in such Distribution to the same extent that the Holder would have participated therein if the Holder had held the number of shares of Common Stock acquirable upon complete exercise of this Warrant (without regard to any limitations or restrictions on exercise of this Warrant, including without limitation, the Maximum Percentage) immediately before the date on which a record is taken for such Distribution, or, if no such record is taken, the date as of which the record holders of shares of Common Stock are to be determined for the participation in such Distribution (provided, however, that to the extent that the Holder’s right to participate in any such Distribution would result in the Holder and the other Attribution Parties exceeding the Maximum Percentage, then the Holder shall not be entitled to participate in such Distribution to the extent of the Maximum Percentage (and shall not be entitled to beneficial ownership of such shares of Common Stock as a result of such Distribution (and beneficial ownership) to the extent of any such excess) and the portion of such Distribution shall be held in abeyance for the benefit of the Holder until such time or times, if ever, as its right thereto would not result in the Holder and the other Attribution Parties exceeding the Maximum Percentage, at which time or times the Holder shall be granted such Distribution

7

 

 


 

(and any Distributions declared or made on such initial Distribution or on any subsequent Distribution held similarly in abeyance) to the same extent as if there had been no such limitation).
4.
PURCHASE RIGHTS; FUNDAMENTAL TRANSACTIONS.
(k)
Purchase Rights. In addition to any adjustments pursuant to Section 2 above, if at any time the Company grants, issues or sells any Options, Convertible Securities or rights to purchase stock, warrants, securities or other property pro rata to the record holders of any class of Common Stock (the “Purchase Rights”), then the Holder will be entitled to acquire, upon the terms applicable to such Purchase Rights, the aggregate Purchase Rights which the Holder could have acquired if the Holder had held the number of shares of Common Stock acquirable upon complete exercise of this Warrant (without regard to any limitations or restrictions on exercise of this Warrant, including without limitation, the Maximum Percentage) immediately before the date on which a record is taken for the grant, issuance or sale of such Purchase Rights, or, if no such record is taken, the date as of which the record holders of shares of Common Stock are to be determined for the grant, issuance or sale of such Purchase Rights (provided, however, that to the extent that the Holder’s right to participate in any such Purchase Right would result in the Holder and the other Attribution Parties exceeding the Maximum Percentage, then the Holder shall not be entitled to participate in such Purchase Right to the extent of the Maximum Percentage (and shall not be entitled to beneficial ownership of such shares of Common Stock as a result of such Purchase Right (and beneficial ownership) to the extent of any such excess) and such Purchase Right to such extent shall be held in abeyance for the benefit of the Holder until such time or times, if ever, as its right thereto would not result in the Holder and the other Attribution Parties exceeding the Maximum Percentage, at which time or times the Holder shall be granted such right (and any Purchase Right granted, issued or sold on such initial Purchase Right or on any subsequent Purchase Right held similarly in abeyance) to the same extent as if there had been no such limitation).
(l)
Fundamental Transactions. The Company shall not enter into or be party to a Fundamental Transaction unless the Successor Entity assumes in writing all of the obligations of the Company under this Warrant and the other Note Documents in accordance with the provisions of this Section 4(b) pursuant to written agreements in form and substance satisfactory to the Holder and approved by the Holder prior to such Fundamental Transaction, including agreements to 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, including, without limitation, which is exercisable for a corresponding number of shares of capital stock 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 adjustments to the 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). Upon the consummation of each Fundamental Transaction, the Successor Entity shall (x) succeed to, and be substituted for (so that from and after the date of the applicable Fundamental Transaction, the provisions of this Warrant and the other Note Documents (as such term is defined in the Note Purchase Agreement) referring to the “Company” or the “Borrower” shall refer instead to the Successor Entity), and may exercise every right and power of the Company and shall assume all of the obligations of the Company under this Warrant and the other Note Documents with the same effect as if such Successor Entity had been named as the Company herein or therein, and (y) deliver to the Holder confirmation that there shall be issued upon exercise of this Warrant at any time after the consummation of the applicable Fundamental Transaction, in lieu of the shares of Common Stock (or other securities, cash, assets or other property (except such items still issuable under Sections 3 and 4(a) above, which shall continue to be receivable thereafter)) issuable upon the exercise of this Warrant prior to the applicable Fundamental Transaction,

such shares of publicly traded common stock (or its equivalent) of the Successor Entity (including its Parent Entity) which the Holder would have been entitled to receive upon the happening of the applicable Fundamental Transaction had this Warrant been exercised immediately prior to the applicable Fundamental Transaction (without regard to any limitations on the exercise of this Warrant), as adjusted in accordance with the provisions of this Warrant. Notwithstanding the foregoing, and without limiting Section 1(f) hereof, the Holder may elect, at its sole option, by delivery of written notice to the Company to waive this Section 4(b) to permit the Fundamental Transaction without the assumption of this Warrant.

In addition to and not in substitution for any other rights hereunder, prior to the consummation of each Fundamental Transaction pursuant to which holders of shares of Common Stock are entitled to receive securities or other assets with respect to or in exchange for shares of Common Stock (a “Corporate Event”), the Company shall make appropriate provision to insure that the Holder will thereafter have the right to receive upon an exercise of this Warrant at any time after the consummation of the applicable Fundamental Transaction but prior to the Expiration Date, in lieu of the shares of the Common Stock (or other securities, cash, assets or other property (except such items still issuable under Sections 3 and 4(a) above, which shall continue to be receivable thereafter)) issuable upon the exercise of the Warrant prior to such Fundamental Transaction, such shares of stock, securities, cash, assets or any other property whatsoever (including warrants or other purchase or subscription rights) which the Holder would have been entitled to receive upon the happening of the applicable Fundamental Transaction had this Warrant been exercised immediately prior to the applicable Fundamental Transaction (without regard to any limitations on the exercise of this Warrant). Provision made pursuant to the preceding sentence shall be in a form and substance reasonably satisfactory to the Holder.

(n)
Application. The provisions of this Section 4 shall apply similarly and equally to successive Fundamental Transactions and Corporate Events and shall be applied as if this Warrant (and any such subsequent warrants) were fully exercisable and without regard to any limitations on the exercise of this Warrant (provided that the Holder shall continue to be entitled to the benefit of the Maximum Percentage, applied however with respect to shares of capital stock registered under the 1934 Act and thereafter receivable upon exercise of this Warrant (or any such other warrant)).

Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the Company (i) shall not increase the par value of any shares of Common Stock receivable upon the exercise of this Warrant above the Exercise Price then in effect, (ii) shall take all such actions as may be necessary or appropriate in order that the Company may validly and legally issue fully paid and nonassessable shares of Common Stock upon the proper exercise of this Warrant by the Holder, and (iii) shall, so long as this Warrant is outstanding, take all action necessary to reserve and keep available out of its authorized and unissued shares of Common Stock, solely for the purpose of effecting the exercise of this Warrant, the number of shares of Common Stock as shall from time to time be necessary to effect the exercise of this Warrant (without regard to any limitations on exercise).

In addition, nothing contained in this Warrant shall be construed as imposing any liabilities on the Holder to purchase any securities (upon exercise of this Warrant or otherwise) or as a stockholder of the Company, whether such liabilities are asserted by the Company or by creditors of the Company. Notwithstanding this Section 6, the Company shall provide the Holder with copies of the same notices and other information given to the stockholders of the Company generally, contemporaneously with the giving thereof to the stockholders.

GOVERNING LAW; JURISDICTION; JURY TRIAL. This Warrant shall be governed by and construed and enforced in accordance with, and all questions concerning the construction, validity, interpretation and performance of this Warrant shall be governed by, the internal laws of the State of New York, without giving effect to any choice of law or conflict of law provision or rule (whether of the State of New York or any other jurisdictions) that would cause the application of the laws of any jurisdictions other than the State of New York. The Company hereby irrevocably submits to the exclusive jurisdiction of the state and federal courts sitting in The City of New York, Borough of Manhattan, for the adjudication of any dispute hereunder or in connection herewith or with any transaction contemplated hereby or discussed herein, and hereby irrevocably waives, and agrees not to assert in any suit, action or proceeding, any claim that it is not personally subject to the jurisdiction of any such court, that such suit, action or proceeding is brought in an inconvenient forum or that the venue of such suit, action or proceeding is improper. The Company hereby irrevocably waives personal service of process and consents to process being served in any such suit, action or proceeding by mailing a copy thereof to the Company at the address set forth in Section 5.3 of the Securities Purchase Agreement and agrees that such service shall constitute good and sufficient service of process and notice thereof. Nothing contained herein shall be deemed to limit in any way any right to serve process in any manner permitted by law. Nothing contained herein shall be deemed or operate to preclude the Holder from bringing suit or taking other legal action against the Company in any other jurisdiction to collect on the Company’s obligations to the Holder, to realize on any collateral or any other security for such obligations, or to enforce a judgment or other court ruling in favor of the Holder. THE COMPANY HEREBY IRREVOCABLY WAIVES ANY RIGHT IT MAY HAVE, AND AGREES NOT TO REQUEST, A JURY TRIAL FOR THE ADJUDICATION OF ANY DISPUTE HEREUNDER OR IN CONNECTION WITH OR ARISING OUT OF THIS WARRANT OR ANY TRANSACTION CONTEMPLATED HEREBY.
11.
CONSTRUCTION; HEADINGS; BUSINESS DAYS. This Warrant shall be deemed to be jointly drafted by the Company and the Holder and shall not be construed against any Person as the drafter hereof. The headings of this Warrant are for convenience of reference and shall not form part of, or affect the interpretation of, this Warrant. If the last or appointed day for the taking of any

11

 

 


 

action or the expiration of any right required or granted herein shall not be a Business Day, then, such action may be taken or such right may be exercised on the next succeeding Business Day.
12.
DISPUTE RESOLUTION. In the case of a dispute as to the determination of the Exercise Price or the arithmetic calculation of the Warrant Shares, the Company shall submit the disputed determinations or arithmetic calculations via facsimile or electronic mail within two (2) Business Days of receipt of the Exercise Notice giving rise to such dispute, as the case may be, to the Holder. If the Holder and the Company are unable to agree upon such determination or calculation of the Exercise Price or the Warrant Shares within three (3) Business Days of such disputed determination or arithmetic calculation being submitted to the Holder, then the Company shall, within two (2) Business Days submit via facsimile or electronic mail the dispute to a nationally recognized accounting firm selected by the Holder and reasonably satisfactory to the Company. If the Company does not object in writing to the selection of the accounting firm within two (2) Business Days of notice of the Holder’s selection, the Company will have deemed to have consented to such selection. If the Company does object, the Company shall provide the Holder its rationale for such rejection and five (5) acceptable alternative firms. The Company shall cause at its expense the accepted accounting firm to perform the determinations or calculations and notify the Company and the Holder of the results no later than three (3) Business Days from the time it receives the disputed determinations or calculations. Such accounting firm’s determination or calculation, as the case may be, shall be binding upon all parties absent demonstrable error. In the event that the accounting firm resolves the dispute in the Holder’s favor, a Delivery Failure will be deemed to have occurred and the Buy-In and other remedies available to the Holder under Section 1(c) will apply.
13.
REMEDIES, OTHER OBLIGATIONS, BREACHES AND INJUNCTIVE RELIEF. The remedies provided in this Warrant shall be cumulative and in addition to all other remedies available under this Warrant and the other Note Documents, at law or in equity (including a decree of specific performance and/or other injunctive relief), and nothing herein shall limit the right of the Holder to pursue actual damages for any failure by the Company to comply with the terms of this Warrant. The Company acknowledges that a breach by it of its obligations hereunder will cause irreparable harm to the Holder and that the remedy at law for any such breach may be inadequate. The Company therefore agrees that, in the event of any such breach or threatened breach, the Holder shall be entitled, in addition to all other available remedies, to an injunction restraining any breach, without the necessity of showing economic loss and without any bond or other security being required.
14.
TRANSFER. This Warrant and the Warrant Shares may be offered for sale, sold, transferred, pledged or assigned without the consent of the Company, subject to compliance with applicable state and federal securities laws. The Holder acknowledges that the Warrant Shares acquired upon the exercise of this Warrant, if not registered, and the Holder does not utilize cashless exercise, will have restrictions upon resale imposed by state and federal securities laws.
15.
SEVERABILITY. If any provision of this Warrant is prohibited by law or otherwise determined to be invalid or unenforceable by a court of competent jurisdiction, the provision that would otherwise be prohibited, invalid or unenforceable shall be deemed amended to apply to the broadest extent that it would be valid and enforceable, and the invalidity or unenforceability of such provision shall not affect the validity of the remaining provisions of this Warrant so long as this Warrant as so modified continues to express, without material change, the original intentions of the parties as to the subject matter hereof and the prohibited nature, invalidity or unenforceability of the provision(s) in question does not substantially impair the respective expectations or reciprocal obligations of the parties or the practical realization of the benefits that would otherwise be conferred upon the parties. The parties will endeavor in good faith negotiations to replace the prohibited, invalid or unenforceable provision(s) with a valid provision(s), the effect of which comes as close as possible to that of the prohibited, invalid or unenforceable provision(s).

The Borrower will not, nor will it permit any of its Subsidiaries to amend, modify or waive any term or material provision of such Person’s Organizational Documents unless (a) required by law or (b) such amendment, modification or waiver could not reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect on the Holders’ rights under the Note Documents (including in their capacity as holders of the Capital Stock of the Borrower) or any Loan Party’s obligations under the Note Documents, and the Loan Parties provide the Holders not less than ten (10) Business Days’ prior written notice of such amendment, modification or waiver.

(b) Without limitation of the foregoing, each Loan Party shall strictly enforce all non-compete or similar agreements between such Loan Party and its employees, officers, directors and Affiliates, and shall not permit any such Person to conduct any business in competition with or relating to the business of any Loan Party except through and for the benefit of the Loan Parties.

9.12 Additional Negative Pledges. Create or otherwise cause or suffer to exist or become effective, directly or indirectly, (a) any prohibition or restriction (including any agreement to provide equal and ratable security to any other Person in the event a Lien is granted to or for the benefit of Purchaser or the Holders) on the creation or existence of any Lien upon the assets of the Borrower or any Subsidiary, other than or (b) any Contractual Obligation which may restrict or inhibit Purchaser’s rights or ability to sell or otherwise dispose of the Collateral or any part thereof after the occurrence of an Event of Default.

The Borrower shall not, or permit any of its Subsidiaries to, create, incur, assume, permit to exist, guarantee, or in any other manner become liable with respect to any Dent, other than the Notes, that is contractually subordinate in right of payment to the Vertical Investors Debt unless such Debt is otherwise permitted by the terms hereof and is subordinated to the Obligations.

Article 10
CONVERSION OPTION

10.1 Conversion Option. Each Holder shall have the right, but not the obligation to elect to convert, at any time, in whole or in part, such Holder’s Notes in the manner described in Section 10.2.

10.2 Conversion. The Notes shall be convertible into that number of common shares of the Company equal to the quotient resulting by dividing the outstanding principal balance of the Notes to be converted by the Conversion Price (any such shares upon conversion, the “Conversion Shares”).

10.3 Procedure for Conversion. A Holder shall exercise its right to convert the Notes into the Conversion Shares by delivering a written notice to the Company in the form attached hereto as Exhibit C (the “Conversion Notice”) indicating its desire to convert all or a portion of its Note into Conversion Shares and the effective date of the conversion. Upon the effective date of conversion set forth in the Conversion Notice, the Company shall be deemed to have exchanged the Conversion Shares for that portion of the Obligations represented by the Notes so converted, the Conversion Shares shall be issued to the Purchaser, without further action by any party, and on and after the Conversion Date the Purchaser shall be treated for all purposes as the record holder of such Conversion Shares. As soon as practicable after delivery of the Conversion Notice, the Company shall deliver to such Holder a replacement Note in a principal amount equal to the remaining principal balance of such Holder’s Note after giving effect to the conversion set forth herein, and the Holder shall surrender the Notes (or provide the Company with a notice to the effect that the original Notes have been lost, stolen or destroyed and an agreement reasonably acceptable to the Company whereby the Purchaser agrees to indemnify the Company from any loss incurred by it in connection with such notice) to the Company; provided that any delay or failure to do so shall not in any way affect the exchange and conversion of the Obligations to the Conversion Shares, the issuance of the Conversion Shares. The Company shall, as soon as practicable after conversion of the Note, issue and deliver to the Holder a certificate or certificates for the number of shares of Conversion Securities to which the Holder shall be entitled upon such conversion.

10.4 Adjustments to Conversion Price. In the event that the Company effects a split of any Capital Stock, the Conversion Price shall automatically be adjusted by multiplying the Conversion Price by the smallest fraction applicable to each share or unit of Capital Stock subject to the applicable split.

 

10.5 Limitations on Conversions. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, prior to the Company obtaining Shareholder Approval, the Company shall not effect the conversion of any portion of the Notes, and the Holder shall not have the right to convert any portion of the Notes, pursuant to the terms and conditions of the Notes and any such conversion shall be null and void and treated as if never made, to the extent that after giving effect to such conversion, the aggregate amount of shares of Common Stock issued pursuant to (i) the conversion of the Notes; (ii) the exercise of Warrant No. TW-1 issued by the Company to the Holder as of even date herewith, and (iii) the exercise of Warrant No. TW-2 issued by the Company to the Holder as of even date herewith, would exceed 432,283 shares of Common Stock (the “Maximum Amount”, subject to appropriate adjustment for any stock dividend, stock split, stock combination, rights offerings, reclassification or similar transaction that proportionately decreases or

33

 

 

 


 

increases the Common Stock). In addition, at all times, regardless of whether the Company has obtained Shareholder Approval, the Company shall not effect the conversion of any portion of the Notes, and the Holder shall not have the right to conversion any portion of the Notes, pursuant to the terms and conditions of the Notes and any such conversion shall be null and void and treated as if never made, to the extent that after giving effect to such conversion, the Holder together with the other Attribution Parties collectively would beneficially own in excess of 4.99% (the “Maximum Percentage”) of the number of shares of Common Stock outstanding immediately after giving effect to such conversion. For purposes of the foregoing sentence, the aggregate number of shares of Common Stock beneficially owned by the Holder and the other Attribution Parties shall include the number of shares of Common Stock held by the Holder and all other Attribution Parties plus the number of shares of Common Stock issuable upon conversion of the Notes with respect to which the determination of such sentence is being made, but shall exclude the number of shares of Common Stock which would be issuable upon (A) conversion of the remaining balance of the Notes beneficially owned by the Holder or any of the other Attribution Parties and (B) exercise or conversion of the unexercised or unconverted portion of any other securities of the Company (including, without limitation, any convertible notes or convertible preferred stock or warrants) beneficially owned by the Holder or any other Attribution Party subject to a limitation on conversion or exercise analogous to the limitation contained in this Section 10.5. For purposes of this Section 10.5, beneficial ownership shall be calculated in accordance with Section 13(d) of the Exchange Act. For purposes of the Notes, in determining the number of outstanding shares of Common Stock the Holder may acquire upon the conversion of the Notes without exceeding the Maximum Percentage, the Holder may rely on the number of outstanding shares of Common Stock as reflected in (x) the Company’s most recent Annual Report on Form 10-K, Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q, Current Report on Form 8-K or other public filing with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”), as the case may be, (y) a more recent public announcement by the Company or (z) any other written notice by the Company or the Transfer Agent setting forth the number of shares of Common Stock outstanding (the “Reported Outstanding Share Number”). If the Company receives an Conversion Notice from the Holder at a time when the actual number of outstanding shares of Common Stock is less than the Reported Outstanding Share Number, the Company shall notify the Holder in writing of the number of shares of Common Stock then outstanding and, to the extent that such Conversion Notice would otherwise cause the Holder’s beneficial ownership, as determined pursuant to this Section 10.5, to exceed the Maximum Percentage, the Holder must notify the Company of a reduced number of Conversion Shares to be purchased pursuant to such Conversion Notice (the number of shares by which such purchase is reduced, the “Reduction Shares”). For any reason at any time, upon the written or oral request of the Holder, the Company shall within one (1) Business Day confirm orally and in writing or by electronic mail to the Holder the number of shares of Common Stock then outstanding. In any case, the number of outstanding shares of Common Stock shall be determined after giving effect to the conversion or exercise of securities of the Company, including the Notes, by the Holder and any other Attribution Party since the date as of which the Reported Outstanding Share Number was reported. In the event that the issuance of shares of Common Stock to the Holder upon conversion of the Notes results in the Holder and the other Attribution Parties being deemed to beneficially own, in the aggregate, more than the Maximum Percentage of the number of outstanding shares of Common Stock (as determined under Section 13(d) of the Exchange Act), the number of shares so issued by which the Holder’s and the other Attribution Parties’ aggregate beneficial ownership exceeds the Maximum Percentage (the “Excess Shares”) shall be deemed null and void and shall be cancelled ab initio, and the Holder shall not have the power to vote or to transfer the Excess Shares. Upon delivery of a written notice to the Company, the Holder may from time to time increase (with such increase not effective until the sixty-first (61st) day after delivery of such notice) or decrease the Maximum Percentage to any other percentage not in excess of 9.99% as specified in such notice; provided that (i) any such increase in the Maximum Percentage will not be effective until the sixty-first (61st) day after such notice is delivered to the Company and (ii) any such increase or decrease will apply only to the Holder and the other Attribution Parties and not to any other holder that is not an Attribution Party of the Holder. For purposes of clarity, the shares of Common Stock issuable pursuant to the terms of the Notes in excess of the Maximum Percentage shall not be deemed to be beneficially owned

 


 

by the Holder for any purpose including for purposes of Section 13(d) or Rule 16a-1(a)(1) of the Exchange Act. No prior inability to convert the Notes pursuant to this paragraph shall have any effect on the applicability of the provisions of this paragraph with respect to any subsequent determination of exercisability. The provisions of this paragraph shall be construed and implemented in a manner otherwise than in strict conformity with the terms of this Section 10.5 to the extent necessary to correct this paragraph or any portion of this paragraph which may be defective or inconsistent with the intended beneficial ownership limitation contained in this Section 10.5 or to make changes or supplements necessary or desirable to properly give effect to such limitation. The limitation contained in this paragraph may not be waived and shall apply to a successor holder of the Notes

Article 11

11.3 Set-Off. Upon the occurrence and during the continuation of an Event of Default, in addition to all other rights and remedies that may then be available to any Holder of Notes, each such Holder is hereby authorized at any time and from time to time, without notice to the Borrower (any such notice being expressly waived by the Borrower) to set-off and apply any and all indebtedness at any time owing by such Holder to or for the credit or the account of the Borrower or its Subsidiaries against all amounts which may be owed to such Holder by the Borrower or its Subsidiaries in connection with this Agreement or any Notes.

Article 12

In connection with the obligation of the Borrower and its Subsidiaries to indemnify for expenses as set forth above, each of the Borrower and its Subsidiaries further agrees, upon presentation of invoices, to reimburse each Indemnified Party for all such expenses (including, without limitation, reasonable fees, disbursements and other charges of counsel and costs of investigation incurred by an Indemnified Party in connection with any Liabilities) as they are incurred by such Indemnified Party.

12.2 Procedure; Notification. Each Indemnified Party under this Article 12 will, after the receipt of notice of the commencement of any action, investigation, claim or other proceeding against such Indemnified Party in respect of which indemnity may be sought from the Borrower and its Subsidiaries under this Article 12, notify the Borrower in writing of the commencement thereof. The omission of any Indemnified Party to so notify the Borrower of any such action shall not relieve the Borrower or any of its Subsidiaries from any liability which it may have to such Indemnified Party unless such omission substantially and irrevocably impairs the Borrower’s or any of its Subsidiaries’ ability to defend the action, claim or other proceeding. In case any such action, claim or other proceeding shall be brought against any

 


 

Indemnified Party and it shall notify the Borrower of the commencement thereof, the Borrower shall, with Purchaser’s consent, be entitled to assume the defense thereof at its own expense, with counsel satisfactory to such Indemnified Party in its reasonable judgment; provided, that any Indemnified Party may, at its own expense, retain separate counsel to participate in such defense. Notwithstanding the foregoing, in any action, claim or proceeding in which the Borrower or any of its Subsidiaries, on the one hand, and an Indemnified Party, on the other hand, is, or is reasonably likely to become, a party, such Indemnified Party shall have the right to employ separate counsel at the Borrower’s or such Subsidiary’s expense and to control its own defense of such action, claim or proceeding if, in the reasonable opinion of counsel to such Indemnified Party, a conflict or potential conflict exists between the Borrower or any of its Subsidiaries, on the one hand, and such Indemnified Party, on the other hand, that would make such separate representation advisable. Each of the Borrower and its Subsidiaries agrees that it will not, without the prior written consent of the Required Holders, settle, compromise or consent to the entry of any judgment in any pending or threatened claim, action or proceeding relating to the matters contemplated hereby (if any Indemnified Party is a party thereto or has been actually threatened to be made a party thereto) unless (i) such settlement, compromise or consent includes an unconditional release of the Purchaser and each other Indemnified Party from all liability arising or that may arise out of such claim, action or proceeding (ii) the Borrower has provided reasonable prior notice thereof and (iii) the Purchaser has provided its prior written consent to such settlement, compromise or consent, which consent will not be unreasonably withheld or delayed. The rights accorded to Indemnified Parties hereunder shall be in addition to any rights that any Indemnified Party may have at common law, by separate agreement or otherwise.

13.3 Successors and Assigns.

(a) This Agreement shall inure to the benefit of and be binding upon the successors and permitted assigns of the parties hereto. Subject to applicable securities laws, the Purchaser may transfer any of its Notes in whole or in part and may assign its rights under the Note Documents at any time. The Purchaser may, without the consent of the Borrower, assign, bifurcate, syndicate, sell, securitize or grant a participation in all or any portion of the Obligations in a private transaction not constituting a public offering, and the Borrower hereby agrees to cooperate in any such transaction. Such transaction shall be negotiated, executed and performed at the Purchaser’s cost and expense; provided that, the Borrower shall be responsible for its own legal fees in connection therewith.

(b) Any Holder may at any time, without the consent of, or notice to Borrower, sell to one or more Persons participating interests in its Notes or other interests hereunder (any such Person, a “Participant”). In the event of a sale by a Holder of a participating interest to a Participant, (i) such Holder’s obligations hereunder shall remain unchanged for all purposes, (ii) Borrower shall continue to deal solely and directly with such Holder in connection with such Holder’s rights and obligations hereunder and (iii) all amounts payable by Borrower shall be determined as if such Holder had not sold such participation and shall be paid directly to such Holder. No Participant shall have any direct or indirect voting rights hereunder except with respect to any event described in Section 13.4. Borrower agrees that if amounts outstanding under this Agreement are due and payable (as a result of acceleration or otherwise), each Participant shall be deemed to have the right of setoff in respect of its participating interest in amounts owing under this Agreement to the same extent as if the amount of its participating interest were owing directly to it as a Holder under this Agreement; provided that such right of setoff shall be subject to the obligation of each Participant to share with Holders, as provided in Section 11.3. In the event that a Holder sells a participation, the Holder, as a non fiduciary agent on behalf of the Borrower, shall maintain (or cause to be maintained) in the United States a register (the “Participant Register”) on which it enters the name and addresses of all participants in the Obligations held by it and the rights of such participants in the Obligations (including principal amount, interest thereon, and fees of the portion of such Obligations that

 


 

is subject to such participations). No Holder shall have an obligation to disclose all or any portion of the Participant Register to any Person (including the identity of any Participant or any information relating to a Participant’s interest in any Obligation), except as otherwise required by applicable law and to the Borrower at their reasonable request and then, solely to the extent that such disclosure is required to establish that such participation or Obligation is in registered form under Sections 5f.103-1(c) and 1.871-14(c) of the Treasury Regulations. Any participation or transfer thereof may be effected only by the registration of such participation on the Participant Register.

(c) The Borrower may not assign any of its rights, or delegate any of its obligations, under this Agreement without the prior written consent of the Required Holders, and any such purported assignment by the Borrower without the written consent of the Required Holders shall be void and of no effect. Except as provided in Article 12, no Person other than the parties hereto and their successors and permitted assigns is intended to be a beneficiary of any of the Note Documents.

13.4 Amendment and Waiver.

(a) No failure or delay on the part of any of the parties hereto in exercising any right, power or remedy hereunder shall operate as a waiver thereof, nor shall any single or partial exercise of any such right, power or remedy preclude any other or further exercise thereof or the exercise of any other right, power or remedy. The remedies provided for in this Agreement are cumulative and are not exclusive of any remedies that may be available to the parties hereto at law, in equity or otherwise.

(b) Any amendment, waiver, supplement or modification of or to any provision of this Agreement, and any consent to any departure by any party from the terms of any provision of this Agreement, shall be effective (i) only if it is made or given in writing and signed by the Borrower and the Required Holders (unless such provision specifically states that such approval is only required by the Purchaser) and (ii) only in the specific instance and for the specific purpose for which made or given.

(c) Except where notice is specifically required by this Agreement, no notice to or demand on the Borrower in any case shall entitle the Borrower to any other or further notice or demand in similar or other circumstances.

13.5 Signatures; Counterparts. Facsimile transmissions of any executed original document and/or retransmission of any executed facsimile transmission shall be deemed to be the same as the delivery of an executed original. At the request of any party hereto, the other parties hereto shall confirm facsimile transmissions by executing duplicate original documents and delivering the same to the requesting party or parties. This Agreement may be executed in any number of counterparts and by the parties hereto in separate counterparts, each of which when so executed shall be deemed to be an original and all of which taken together shall constitute one and the same agreement.

13.6 Headings. The headings in this Agreement are for convenience of reference only and shall not limit or otherwise affect the meaning hereof.

13.7 GOVERNING LAW. THIS AGREEMENT SHALL BE GOVERNED BY, CONSTRUED IN ACCORDANCE WITH, AND ENFORCED UNDER, THE LAWS OF THE STATE OF NEW YORK, WITHOUT REGARD TO THE PRINCIPLES OF CONFLICTS OF LAW OF SUCH STATE.

13.8 JURISDICTION, JURY TRIAL WAIVER, ETC.

TO THE EXTENT PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE SECURITIES LAWS, THIS SECURITY [AND THE SECURITIES ISSUABLE UPON EXERCISE OF THIS SECURITY] MAY BE PLEDGED IN CONNECTION WITH A BONA FIDE MARGIN ACCOUNT WITH A REGISTERED BROKER-DEALER OR OTHER LOAN WITH A FINANCIAL INSTITUTION THAT IS AN “ACCREDITED INVESTOR” AS DEFINED IN RULE 501(a) UNDER THE SECURITIES ACT OR OTHER LOAN SECURED BY SUCH SECURITIES.

(c)
Pledge. The Company acknowledges and agrees that the Purchaser may from time to time pledge pursuant to a bona fide margin agreement with a registered broker-dealer or grant a security interest in some or all of the Securities to a financial institution that is an “accredited investor” as defined in Rule 501(a) under the Securities Act and, if required under the terms of such arrangement, the Purchaser may transfer pledge or secure Securities to the pledgees or secured parties. Such a pledge or transfer would not be subject to approval of the Company and no legal opinion of legal counsel of the pledgee, secured party or pledgor shall be required in connection therewith. Further, no notice shall be required of such pledge. At the Purchaser’s expense, the Company will execute and deliver such reasonable documentation as a pledgee or secured party of Securities may reasonably request in connection with a pledge or transfer of the Securities.
(d)
Legend Removal. Certificates evidencing the Shares and Warrant Shares shall not contain any legend (including the legend set forth in Section 4.1(b) hereof): (i) while a registration statement covering the resale of such security is effective under the Securities Act, (ii) following any sale of such Shares and Warrant Shares pursuant to Rule 144, or (iii) 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). The Company shall cause its counsel to promptly issue a legal opinion to the Transfer Agent if required by the Transfer Agent to effect the removal of the legend hereunder. The Company agrees that following such time as such legend is no longer required under this Section 4.1(d), it will, no later than five Trading Days following the delivery by the Purchaser to the Company or the Transfer Agent of a certificate

19


 

representing the Shares or Warrant Shares, as applicable, issued with a restrictive legend (such fifth Trading Day, the “Legend Removal Date”), deliver or cause to be delivered to the Purchaser a certificate representing such shares that is free from all restrictive and other legends (however, the Corporation shall use reasonable best efforts to deliver such shares within three (3) Trading Days). 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 4. In lieu of delivering physical certificates representing the unlegended shares, upon request of the Purchaser, so long as the certificates therefor do not bear a legend and the Purchaser is not obligated to return such certificate for the placement of a legend thereon, the Company shall cause its transfer agent to electronically transmit the unlegended shares by crediting the account of Purchaser’s prime broker with DTC through its DWAC system, provided that the Company’s Common Stock is DTC eligible and the Company’s transfer agent participates in the Deposit Withdrawal at Custodian system. Such delivery must be made on or before the Legend Removal Date.
(e)
DWAC. In lieu of delivering physical certificates representing the unlegended shares, upon request of the Purchaser, so long as the certificates therefor do not bear a legend and the Purchaser is not obligated to return such certificate for the placement of a legend thereon, the Company shall cause its transfer agent to electronically transmit the unlegended shares by crediting the account of Purchaser’s prime broker with DTC through its DWAC system, provided that the Company’s Common Stock is DTC eligible and the Company’s transfer agent participates in the DWAC system. Such delivery must be made on or before the Legend Removal Date.
4.2
Furnishing of Information; Public Information. Until the earliest of the time that (i) the Purchaser no longer owns any Securities, (ii) the Warrants have expired, or (iii) ten (10) years after the Closing Date, the Company covenants to maintain the registration of the Common Stock under Section 12(b) or 12(g) of the Exchange Act and to timely file (or obtain extensions in respect thereof and file within the applicable grace period) all reports required to be filed by the Company after the date hereof pursuant to the Exchange Act even if the Company is not then subject to the reporting requirements of the Exchange Act.
4.3
Integration. The Company shall not sell, offer for sale or solicit offers to buy or otherwise negotiate in respect of any security (as defined in Section 2 of the Securities Act) that would be integrated with the offer or sale of the Securities by the Company in a manner that would require the registration under the Securities Act of the sale of the Securities or that would be integrated with the offer or sale of the Securities for purposes of the rules and regulations of any Trading Market such that it would require shareholder approval prior to the closing of such other transaction unless shareholder approval is obtained before the closing of such subsequent transaction.
4.4
Securities Laws Disclosure; Publicity. The Company shall, by 9:00 a.m. (New York City time) on the first (1st) Trading Day immediately following the Closing Date, issue a press release disclosing the material terms of the transactions contemplated hereby, and shall file a Current Report on Form 8-K including the Transaction Documents as exhibits thereto within the time period required by the Exchange Act. From and after the issuance of such press release and Form 8-K, the Company represents to the Purchaser that it shall have publicly disclosed all

20


 

material, non-public information delivered to any of the Purchaser by the Company or any of its Subsidiaries, or any of their respective officers, directors, employees or agents in connection with the transactions contemplated by the Transaction Documents. The Company and the Purchaser shall consult with each other in issuing any other press releases with respect to the transactions contemplated hereby, and neither the Company nor the Purchaser shall issue any such press release nor otherwise make any such public statement without the prior consent of the Company, with respect to any press release of the Purchaser, or without the prior consent of the Purchaser, with respect to any press release of the Company, which consent shall not unreasonably be withheld or delayed, except if such disclosure is required by law, in which case the disclosing party shall promptly provide the other party with prior notice of such public statement or communication. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Company shall not publicly disclose the name of the Purchaser, or include the name of the Purchaser in any filing with the Commission or any regulatory agency or Trading Market unless the name of the Purchaser is already included in the body of the Transaction Documents, without the prior written consent of the Purchaser, except: (a) as required by federal securities law in connection with the filing of final Transaction Documents with the Commission and (b) to the extent such disclosure is required by law or Trading Market regulations, in which case the Company shall provide the Purchaser with prior notice of such disclosure permitted under this clause (b).
4.5
Non-Public Information. Except with respect to the material terms and conditions of the transactions contemplated by the Transaction Documents, the Company covenants and agrees that neither it, nor any other Person acting on its behalf, will provide the Purchaser or its agents or counsel with any information that the Company believes constitutes material non-public information, unless prior thereto the Purchaser shall have entered into a written agreement with the Company regarding the confidentiality and use of such information. The Company understands and confirms that the Purchaser shall be relying on the foregoing covenant in effecting transactions in securities of the Company.
4.6
Indemnification of Purchaser. Subject to the provisions of this Section 4.6, the Company will indemnify and hold the Purchaser and its directors, officers, shareholders, members, partners, employees and agents (and any other Persons with a functionally equivalent role of a Person holding such titles notwithstanding a lack of such title or any other title), each Person who controls the Purchaser (within the meaning of Section 15 of the Securities Act and Section 20 of the Exchange Act), and the directors, officers, shareholders, agents, members, partners or employees (and any other Persons with a functionally equivalent role of a Person holding such titles notwithstanding a lack of such title or any other title) of such controlling persons (each, a “Purchaser Party”) harmless from any and all losses, liabilities, obligations, claims, contingencies, damages, costs and expenses, including all judgments, amounts paid in settlements, court costs and reasonable attorneys’ fees and costs of investigation that any the Purchaser Party may suffer or incur as a result of or relating to (a) any breach of any of the representations, warranties, covenants or agreements made by the Company in this Agreement or in the other Transaction Documents or (b) any action instituted against the Purchaser Parties in any capacity, or any of them or their respective Affiliates, by any stockholder of the Company who is not an Affiliate of the Purchaser Party, with respect to any of the transactions contemplated by the Transaction Documents (unless such action is based upon a breach of the Purchaser Party’s representations, warranties or covenants under the Transaction Documents or any agreements or understandings the Purchaser Party may have with any such stockholder or any violations by the Purchaser Party

21


 

of Securities Laws or any conduct by the Purchaser Party which constitutes fraud, gross negligence, willful misconduct or malfeasance). If any action shall be brought against the Purchaser Party in respect of which indemnity may be sought pursuant to this Agreement, the Purchaser Party shall promptly notify the Company in writing, and the Company shall have the right to assume the defense thereof with counsel of its own choosing reasonably acceptable to the Purchaser Party. Any Purchaser Party shall have the right to employ separate counsel in any such action and participate in the defense thereof, but the fees and expenses of such counsel shall be at the expense of the Purchaser Party except to the extent that (i) the employment thereof has been specifically authorized by the Company in writing, (ii) the Company has failed after a reasonable period of time to assume such defense and to employ counsel or (iii) in such action there is, in the reasonable opinion of the Purchaser Party’s counsel, a material conflict on any material issue between the position of the Company and the position of the Purchaser Party, in which case the Company shall be responsible for the reasonable fees and expenses of no more than one such separate counsel for all Purchaser Parties. The Company will not be liable to the Purchaser Party under this Agreement (iv) for any settlement by the Purchaser Party effected without the Company’s prior written consent, which shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed; or (v) to the extent, but only to the extent that a loss, claim, damage or liability is attributable to the Purchaser Party’s breach of any of the representations, warranties, covenants or agreements made by the Purchaser Party in this Agreement or in the other Transaction Documents. The indemnification required by this Section 4.6 shall be made by periodic payments of the amount thereof during the course of the investigation or defense, as and when bills are received or are incurred. The indemnity agreements contained herein shall be in addition to any cause of action or similar right of the Purchaser Party against the Company or others and any liabilities the Company may be subject to pursuant to law.
4.7
Listing of Common Stock. The Company hereby agrees to use commercially reasonable efforts to maintain the listing or quotation of the Common Stock on the Trading Market on which it is currently listed. The Company further agrees, if the Company applies to have the Common Stock traded on any other Trading Market, it will then include in such application all of the Shares and Warrant Shares, and will take such other action as is necessary to cause all of the Shares and Warrant Shares to be listed or quoted on such other Trading Market as promptly as possible. The Company will then use commercially reasonable efforts to continue the listing or quotation and trading of its Common Stock on a Trading Market until the later of (i) the ten year anniversary of the Closing Date, (ii) the date no Shares or Warrants are outstanding and (iii) the end of the Protection Period, and will comply in all respects with the Company’s reporting, filing and other obligations under the bylaws or rules of the Trading Market until such later date.
4.8
Reimbursement. If the Purchaser becomes involved in any capacity in any Proceeding by or against any Person who is a stockholder of the Company (except as a result of sales, pledges, margin sales and similar transactions by the Purchaser to or with any current stockholder), solely as a result of the Purchaser’s acquisition of the Securities under this Agreement, the Company will reimburse the Purchaser for its reasonable legal and other expenses (including the cost of any investigation preparation and travel in connection therewith) incurred in connection therewith, as such expenses are incurred. The reimbursement obligations of the Company under this paragraph shall be in addition to any liability which the Company may otherwise have, shall extend upon the same terms and conditions to any Affiliates of the Purchaser who are actually named in such action, proceeding or investigation, and partners, directors, agents,

22


 

employees and controlling persons (if any), as the case may be, of the Purchaser and any such Affiliate, and shall be binding upon and inure to the benefit of any successors, assigns, heirs and personal representatives of the Company, the Purchaser and any such Affiliate and any such Person. The Company also agrees that neither the Purchaser nor any such Affiliates, partners, directors, agents, employees or controlling persons shall have any liability to the Company or any Person asserting claims on behalf of or in right of the Company solely as a result of acquiring the Securities under this Agreement.
4.9
Acknowledgment of Dilution. The Company acknowledges that the issuance of the Securities may result in dilution of the outstanding shares of Common Stock, which dilution may be substantial under certain market conditions. The Company further acknowledges that its obligations under the Transaction Documents, including, without limitation, its obligation to issue the Shares and Warrant Shares pursuant to the Transaction Documents, are unconditional and absolute, but subject to the terms and conditions of the Transaction Documents, and not subject to any right of set off, counterclaim, delay or reduction, regardless of the effect of any such dilution or any claim the Company may have against the Purchaser and regardless of the dilutive effect that such issuance may have on the ownership of the other stockholders of the Company.
4.10
Preservation of Corporate Existence. The Company shall preserve and maintain its corporate existence, rights, privileges and franchises in the jurisdiction of its incorporation, and qualify and remain qualified, as a foreign corporation in each jurisdiction in which such qualification is necessary in view of its business or operations and where the failure to qualify or remain qualified might reasonably have a Material Adverse Effect upon the financial condition, business or operations of the Company taken as a whole.
4.11
DTC Program. At all times that the Shares or Warrants are outstanding, the Company will employ as the transfer agent for the Common Stock and Warrant Shares a participant in the Depository Trust Company Automated Securities Transfer Program and cause the Common Stock to be transferable pursuant to such program.
4.12
Form D; Blue Sky Filings. The Company agrees to timely file a Form D with respect to the sale of the Securities by the Company under this Agreement as required under Regulation D. The Company shall take such action as the Company shall reasonably determine is necessary in order to obtain an exemption for, or to qualify the Securities for, sale to the Purchaser at the Closing under applicable securities or “Blue Sky” laws of the states of the United States, and shall provide evidence of such actions promptly upon request of the Purchaser.
4.13
Shareholder Rights Plan. No claim will be made or enforced by the Company or, with the consent of the Company, any other Person, that the Purchaser is an “Acquiring Person” under any control share acquisition, business combination, poison pill (including any distribution under a rights agreement) or similar anti-takeover plan or arrangement in effect or hereafter adopted by the Company, or that the Purchaser could be deemed to trigger the provisions of any such plan or arrangement, by virtue of receiving Securities under the Transaction Documents or under any other agreement between the Company and the Purchaser.
4.14
Exercise Procedure. The form of Notice of Exercise included in the Warrants sets forth the totality of the procedures required of the Purchaser in order to exercise the Warrants. No

23


 

additional legal opinion, other information or instructions shall be required of the Purchaser to exercise the Warrants. The Company shall honor exercises of the Warrants and shall deliver Warrant Shares in accordance with the terms, conditions and time periods set forth in the Transaction Documents.
4.15

In the event that any signature is delivered by facsimile transmission or by e-mail delivery of a “.pdf” format data file, such signature shall create a valid and binding obligation of the party executing (or on whose behalf such signature is executed) with the same force and effect as if such facsimile or “.pdf” signature page were an original thereof.
5.11
Severability.

Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in (and without limiting any similar provisions of) any of the other Transaction Documents, whenever the Purchaser exercises a right, election, demand or option under a Transaction Document and the Company does not timely perform its related obligations within the periods therein provided, then the Purchaser may rescind or withdraw, in its sole discretion from time to time upon written notice to the Company, any relevant notice, demand or election in whole or in part without prejudice to its future actions and rights; provided, however, that in the case of a rescission of an exercise of a Warrant, the applicable Purchaser shall be required to return any shares of Common Stock subject to any such rescinded exercise notice concurrently with the return to the Purchaser of the aggregate exercise price paid to the Company for such shares and the restoration of the Purchaser’s right to acquire such shares pursuant to the Purchaser’s Warrant (including, issuance of a replacement warrant certificate evidencing such restored right).
5.13

26


 

mutilation), or in lieu of and substitution therefor, a new certificate or instrument, but only upon receipt of evidence reasonably satisfactory to the Company of such loss, theft, destruction, or mutilation, and of the ownership of such Security. The applicant for a new certificate or instrument under such circumstances shall also pay any reasonable third-party costs (including customary indemnity and bonds) associated with the issuance of such replacement Securities.
5.14
Remedies. In addition to being entitled to exercise all rights provided herein or granted by law, including recovery of damages, each of the Purchaser and the Company will be entitled to specific performance under the Transaction Documents. The Company agrees that monetary damages may not be adequate compensation for any loss incurred by reason of any breach of obligations contained in the Transaction Documents and hereby agrees to waive and not to assert in any action for specific performance of any such obligation the defense that a remedy at law would be adequate.
5.15
Payment Set Aside. To the extent that the Company makes a payment or payments to the Purchaser pursuant to any Transaction Document or the Purchaser enforces or exercises its rights thereunder, and such payment or payments or the proceeds of such enforcement or exercise or any part thereof are subsequently invalidated, declared to be fraudulent or preferential, set aside, recovered from, disgorged by or are required to be refunded, repaid or otherwise restored to the Company, a trustee, receiver or any other Person under any law (including, without limitation, any bankruptcy law, state or federal law, common law or equitable cause of action), then to the extent of any such restoration the obligation or part thereof originally intended to be satisfied shall be revived and continued in full force and effect as if such payment had not been made or such enforcement or setoff had not occurred.
5.16
Saturdays, Sundays, Holidays, etc. If the last or appointed day for the taking of any action or the expiration of any right required or granted herein shall not be a Business Day, then such action may be taken or such right may be exercised on the next succeeding Business Day.

To exercise any and all rights and remedies afforded by the laws of the United States, the State of Mississippi or any other appropriate jurisdiction as may be available for the collection of debts and enforcement of covenants and conditions such as those contained in this Agreement and the Loan Documents.

All rights and remedies of Lender under the terms of this Agreement, the Note, any of the other Loan Documents, and any applicable statutes or rules of law shall be cumulative and may be exercised successively or concurrently. The rights and remedies of Lender set forth in this Section 7.2 are in addition to other rights and remedies that Lender may have at law or in equity. Borrower agrees to pay Lender on demand any and all reasonable expenses incurred or paid by Lender in the exercise of its rights under this Agreement or under the UCC, including expenses incurred to protect or enforce the Loan Obligations, protect the Collateral, take possession of and sell or dispose of the Collateral, store or collect the Collateral, prepare and advertise the Collateral for sale, conduct the sale and collect the Proceeds of sale, and expenses for the services of attorneys employed by Lender for any purpose related to this Agreement or the Loan Obligations, including consultation, drafting documents, sending notices or instituting, prosecuting or defending litigation or arbitration. Payment of all such expenses and the interest thereon shall be secured by the security interest granted in this Agreement.

Section 7.3.
Foreclosure Provisions.
(a)
Lender shall give Borrower such notice of any private or public sales as may be required by the UCC. Borrower agrees that notice of sale or other disposition of the Collateral, or of any part thereof, shall be sufficient if such notice is, at least ten (10) days before the time of the sale or disposition, and is delivered to Borrower in accordance with this Agreement.
(b)
No delay or omission by Lender to exercise any right or remedy accruing upon any default shall: (i) impair any right or remedy, (ii) waive any default or operate as an acquiescence to the default, or (iii) affect any subsequent default of the same or of a different nature.
(c)
Lender has no obligation to clean-up, refurbish, or otherwise prepare any Collateral for sale.
(d)
Lender has no obligation to attempt to satisfy the Loan Obligations by collecting them from any other person liable for them, and Lender may release, modify or waive any collateral provided by any other person to secure any of the Loan Obligations, all without

 


 

affecting Lender’s rights against Borrower. Borrower waives any right it may have to require Lender to pursue any third person for any of the Loan Obligations.
(e)
Lender may comply with any applicable state or federal law requirements in connection with a disposition of the Collateral and compliance will not be considered to adversely affect the commercial reasonableness of any sale of the Collateral.
(f)
Lender may sell the Collateral without giving any warranties as to the Collateral. Lender may specifically disclaim any warranties of title or the like. This procedure will not be considered to adversely affect the commercial reasonableness of any sale of the Collateral.
(g)
If Lender sells any of the Collateral upon credit, Borrower will be credited only with payments actually made by the purchaser, received by Lender, and applied to the indebtedness of the purchaser. In the event the purchaser fails to pay for the Collateral, Lender may resell the Collateral and Borrower shall be credited with the Proceeds of the sale.
(h)
In the event Lender purchases any of the Collateral being sold, Lender may pay for the Collateral so purchased by crediting some or all of the Loan Obligations.
(i)
Lender shall have no obligation to marshal any assets in favor of Borrower, or against or in payment of the Loan Obligations or any other obligation owed to Lender by Borrower or any other person.
(j)
Borrower hereby irrevocably authorizes and empowers Lender after the occurrence of an Event of Default hereunder (i) to receive and give receipt for any amount or amounts due or to become due to Borrower on account of the Collateral and to endorse and negotiate in the name of Borrower any check or other item issued in payment or on account thereof, and in the name of Lender or of Borrower to enforce by suit or otherwise, compromise, settle, discharge, extend the time of payment, file claims or otherwise participate in bankruptcy proceedings, and otherwise deal in and with the Collateral and any Proceeds thereof; (ii) to open mail addressed to Borrower, remove any Collateral or Proceeds therefrom, and deliver the remainder of such mail to Borrower; and (iii) to do all acts and things deemed by Lender to be appropriate to protect, preserve and realize upon Lender’s security interest hereunder; but Lender shall not be under any duty to exercise such authority or power or in any way responsible for collecting or realizing upon the Collateral.

Subject to the terms and conditions of this Section 2.06(a) and Section 2.06(h), Sellers shall be entitled to receive a contingent payment in the form of Common Stock (collectively, the “Earn-Out Shares”) in a number of shares equal to the amount of the quotient of (i) the product of (A) the quotient of (x) the difference of (1) the total number of Units sold in the calendar year ended December 31, 2024 (the “2024 Unit Sales”) and (2) 5,000, divided by (y) 250, multiplied by (B) $1,000,000; provided, that the product shall be rounded down to the nearest $1,000,000 and shall not exceed $20,000,000 in the aggregate, divided by (ii) VWAP for the Common Stock based on the 10 consecutive trading days ending on (and including) December 31, 2024, on The Nasdaq Stock Market LLC as reported by Bloomberg L.P., subject to the VWAP Collar. In addition, in the event the 2024 Unit Sales include at least 2,400 Units sold in the business-to-business channel, the Sellers shall be entitled to an additional number of Earn-Out Shares equal to the amount of the quotient of (x) $3,000,000 divided by (y) VWAP for the Common Stock based on the 10 consecutive trading days ending on (and including) December 31, 2024, on The Nasdaq Stock Market LLC as reported by Bloomberg L.P., subject to the VWAP Collar.

Any item or amount on an Earn-Out Calculation which is not objected to by Sellers in writing shall be deemed final, conclusive and binding upon the parties for all purposes.

(ii)
If Sellers object in writing to an Earn-Out Calculation prior to the expiration of the Earn-Out Review Period, Sellers and Buyer shall, during the 30 day period following delivery of Sellers’ objections, attempt in good faith to resolve the matters on a Earn-Out Calculation to which Sellers objected.

Buyer and Sellers shall present their respective positions on the disputed items to the Neutral Accountant in writing, and the parties shall require the Neutral Accountant, within 30 days thereafter, acting as an expert and not an arbitrator, to resolve only the matters objected to by Sellers and not resolved by the parties with respect to the determination of the Earn-Out Calculation. The resolution by the Neutral Accountant of such matters shall be within the range of the amounts claimed by the parties in their written submissions to the Neutral Accountant. All of the fees and expenses of the Neutral Accountant in connection with any dispute under this Section 2.06(c)(ii) shall be borne by the party whose positions (based on aggregate dollar amount) are furthest from the final determination of such disputed items by the Neutral Accountant. Each party shall bear any fees and expenses of its own accountants, attorneys and other representatives with respect to the matters described above.

(e)
Within 45 days following the final determination of an Earn-Out Calculation pursuant to Section 2.06(c), if Seller is entitled to receive Earn-Out Shares pursuant to Section 2.06(a) on the basis of a finalized Earn-Out Calculation, Buyer shall issue and deliver such Earn-Out Shares to Sellers.
(f)
Notwithstanding the provisions of Section 2.06(d), from the Closing Date until December 31, 2024, Buyer shall keep the accounting books and records so as to allow reasonable confirmation and verification of the 2024 Unit Sales and the Earn-Out Calculation in the event of a dispute under Section 2.06(c) in respect of any Earn-Out Calculation.
(g)
The parties hereto agree to treat any Earn-Out Shares issued pursuant to this Section 2.06 as an adjustment to the purchase price of the Purchased Assets for Tax purposes, except to the extent otherwise required pursuant to a final determination within the meaning of Section 1313(a) of the Code (or any similar provision of state or local applicable law) or for any amounts required to be treated as interest under Section 1274 or Section 483 of the Code.

5


 

Common Stock issued in connection with this Agreement and the transactions contemplated hereby, would cause the Share Cap to be exceed, unless Shareholder Approval is obtained.
Section 2.07
Consents. With respect to any third party consents or approvals needed to transfer or assign an Assigned Contract (“Consents”) that have not been obtained (or otherwise are not in full force and effect) as of the Closing (such Assigned Contracts, the “Restricted Seller Contracts”), following the Closing, the parties shall use their commercially reasonable best efforts, and cooperate with each other, to as quickly as practicable, at Buyer’s election (a) obtain the Consent relating to each Restricted Seller Contract, (b) facilitate Acquisition Sub’s entering into a new contract with the customers under each Restricted Seller Contract, or (c) terminate the Restricted Seller Contract using commercially reasonable best efforts to minimize any cost or liability as a result of such termination. Notwithstanding Section 1.01(d) and Section 1.03, neither this Agreement nor the Assignment and Assumption Agreement shall constitute an assignment or assumption of the Restricted Seller Contracts unless and until a Consent is obtained. Pending the consummation of subsection (a), (b) or (c), above, the parties shall cooperate with each other in any reasonable and lawful arrangements designed to provide to Acquisition Sub the benefits of use of such Restricted Seller Contract for its term (or any right or benefit arising thereunder, including the enforcement for the benefit of Buyer of any and all rights of Seller against a third party thereunder). Once a Consent for the assignment and assumption of a Restricted Seller Contract is obtained, Sellers shall promptly assign, transfer, convey and deliver such Restricted Seller Contract to Acquisition Sub, and Acquisition Sub shall assume the obligations under such Restricted Seller Contract assigned to Acquisition Sub from and after the date of such assignment to Acquisition Sub, pursuant to a special-purpose assignment and assumption agreement in form substantially similar to the Assignment and Assumption Agreement (all at no additional cost to Acquisition Sub).
Section 2.08

In addition to any legend imposed by applicable federal or state securities laws, the book-entries or certificates representing the Common Stock to be issued to the Sellers pursuant to this Agreement shall bear a restrictive legend (and stop transfer orders shall be placed against the transfer thereof with Buyer’s transfer agent), stating substantially as follows:

“THE SECURITIES REPRESENTED HEREBY ARE SUBJECT TO A LOCK-UP PERIOD WHICH SHALL EXPIRE NO EARLIER THAN 11:59 PM PACIFIC TIME ON THE DATE WHICH IS 540 DAYS FROM APRIL 27, 2023. SUCH LOCK-UP PERIOD IS BINDING ON TRANSFEREES OF THESE SHARES.”

Section 9.04
Indemnification Procedures. If a party hereto seeks indemnification under this Article IX, such party (the “Indemnified Party”) shall give written notice to the other party (the “Indemnifying Party”) of the facts and circumstances giving rise to the claim. In connection with any suit, action or claim (a “Proceeding”) brought or asserted by any third party (a “Third Party Proceeding”) that may give rise to indemnity hereunder, the Indemnified Party shall promptly notify the Indemnifying Party of the same in writing, specifying in detail the basis of such claim and the facts pertaining thereto; provided, that, the failure to so notify an Indemnifying Party shall not relieve the Indemnifying Party of its obligations hereunder except to the extent such failure shall have materially prejudiced the Indemnifying Party’s its ability to defend such Third Party Proceeding. The Indemnifying Party, if it acknowledges its obligation to indemnify the Indemnified Party and so elects, shall assume and control the defense of such Third Party Proceeding (and shall consult with the Indemnified Party with respect thereto), including the employment of counsel reasonably satisfactory to the Indemnified Party and the payment of expenses; unless the nature of the Third Party Proceeding (a) relates to or arises in connection with any criminal proceeding, action, indictment, allegation or investigation, (b) seeks an injunction or equitable relief against the Indemnified Party, (c) if adversely determined, would not entitle the Indemnified Party to full indemnity pursuant to Article IX or (d) joint representation of the Indemnified Party and the Indemnifying Party is precluded under the rules of professional conduct governing counsel in the applicable jurisdiction for a reason other than the Indemnified Party refusing to waive the conflict of interest and such preclusion is supported by an opinion of counsel delivered by the Indemnified Party at its expense, in which case the Indemnified Party may elect to retain its own counsel to defend such Third Party Proceeding at the sole cost and expense of the Indemnifying Party. If the Indemnifying Party elects to defend against the Third Party Proceeding, it must so notify the Indemnified Party in writing within 10 Business Days of receipt of the Indemnified Party’s notice thereof of the acknowledgment of its indemnity obligations with respect to, and election to assume the defense of, the Third Party Proceeding, failing which, the Indemnified Party may defend against, conduct and control any action or proceeding with respect to such Third Party Proceeding with counsel of its own choosing, at the sole cost and expense of the Indemnifying Party. If the Indemnifying Party timely assumes the defense of the Third Party Proceeding, it shall diligently pursue the defense of such Proceeding and keep the Indemnified Party reasonably apprised of the status thereof (provided, that the Indemnified Party shall have the right to participate in, but not control, the defense of such Proceeding with counsel of its own choosing, at its sole cost and expense). Neither the Indemnifying Party nor the Indemnified Party, as the case may be, may compromise or settle any Third Party Proceeding against which it is defending without the prior written consent of the Indemnified Party or the Indemnifying Party, as the case may be (which consent, if applicable, shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed), unless the claim is solely for money damages to be paid in full by the settling, compromising party and requires no admission of wrongdoing on the part of the non-settling, non-compromising party. The Indemnifying Party and Indemnified Party shall reasonably cooperate in the defense or prosecution of any Third Party Proceeding.
Section 9.05
Tax Treatment of Indemnification Payments. All indemnification payments made by a Seller under this Agreement shall be treated by the parties as an adjustment to the purchase price of the Purchased Assets for Tax purposes, unless otherwise required by law.
Section 9.06

Section 9.07
Cumulative Remedies. The rights and remedies provided in this Article IX are cumulative and are in addition to and not in substitution for any other rights and remedies available at law or in equity or otherwise.

(a)

37


 

upon, arising out of, with respect to or by reason of Fraud or with respect to a breach, falsity or incorrectness of any Fundamental Representation or IP Representations) until the aggregate Losses of all Buyer Indemnified Parties arising out of, in connection with or as a result of claims under Section 9.02(a) exceeds $100,000 in the aggregate (the “Basket”), in which event Sellers shall be obligated to indemnify the Buyer Indemnified Parties from and against all such Losses from the first dollar. Buyer shall not be liable to any Seller Indemnified Party for indemnification under Section 9.03(a) (other than with respect to a claim for indemnification based upon, arising out of, with respect to or by reason of Fraud) until the aggregate Losses of all Seller Indemnified Parties arising out of, in connection with or as a result of claims under Section 9.03(a) exceeds the Basket, in which event Buyer shall be obligated to indemnify a Seller Indemnified Party from and against all such Losses from the first dollar.
(b)
In no event shall the aggregate indemnity obligation of Sellers pursuant to Section 9.02(a) exceed $3,000,000 (the “Cap”); provided, that the Cap shall not apply to any claim based upon, arising out of, with respect to or by reason of (i) a breach, falsity or incorrectness of any Fundamental Representation or IP Representation or (ii) Fraud, with respect to which, in each case, the aggregate indemnity obligation of Sellers shall not exceed the Closing Date Purchase Price.
Section 9.09
Sources of Recovery. In the event of a claim by any Buyer Indemnified Party under this Article IX, the Losses shall be satisfied, subject to the satisfaction of the Basket pursuant to Section 9.08(a) (if applicable), from the Preferred Shares by adjusting the conversion ratio as set forth in Section 4.2 the Certificate of Designation (the “Conversion Ratio”) as set forth below; provided, that Buyer may elect to satisfy any such Losses by deducting a number of shares equal to the amount of such Losses from the Earn-Out Shares if there are outstanding Losses if and when the Earn-Out Shares are to be issued to Sellers. Promptly following the 24-month anniversary of the Closing Date and the settlement of any then-pending claims for Losses, Buyer shall amend the Certificate of Designation to adjust the Conversion Ratio such that the aggregate number of shares of Common Stock issuable upon the conversion of the Preferred Shares shall be equal to the product of (1) the quotient of (A) the difference between (i) $3,000,000 less (ii) that amount of Losses to be satisfied hereunder, divided by (B) $3,000,000, multiplied by (2) the number of shares of Common Stock that would have otherwise been issuable upon the conversion of the Preferred Shares prior to any adjustment of the Conversion Ratio set forth herein. For the sake of example, if 3,000,000 shares of Common Stock were otherwise issuable upon the conversion the Preferred Shares, and the Buyer Indemnified Parties successfully claimed $1,000,000 of Losses, then the Conversion Ratio shall be adjusted such that 2,000,000 shares of Common Stock would be issuable upon the conversion of the Preferred Shares, as further evidenced below:

2,000,000 shares of Common Stock = ((3,000,000-$1,000,000)/$3,000,000) * 3,000,000

Until such time that all Preferred Shares have been converted to Common Stock, in no event shall Buyer otherwise amend the Certificate of Designation except as otherwise provided in this Section 9.09 without the prior written consent of the holders of a majority of the Preferred Shares issued or issuable to Seller’s stockholders pursuant to this Agreement.

 

Section 9.10
Disregard Materiality. All references in this Agreement to “materiality”, “in all material respects”, “material adverse change” and other terms derived therefrom shall be ignored and considered deleted from this Agreement for purposes of determining whether a representation, warranty, covenant or agreement has been breached or whether rights to indemnification under this Article IX exist and the amount of Losses for which a party shall be indemnified under this Article IX.
