WHEREAS, subject to the terms and conditions set forth herein, the Company wishes to issue and sell to the Purchasers, and the Purchasers wish to purchase from the Company, one or more convertible promissory notes in exchange for the consideration (the “Consideration”) set forth opposite each Purchaser’s name on the Schedule of Purchasers.

 

NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the mutual covenants and agreements hereinafter set forth and for other good and valuable consideration, the receipt and sufficiency of which is hereby acknowledged, the parties hereto agree as follows:

1.3              “Exchange Act” means the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended.

 

1.4              Founders Shares” means stock of the Company having the same rights and privileges of stock owned by the Founders of the Company.

 

1.5              Maturity Date” means, with respect to each Note issued under this Agreement, the date that is 365 days following the date of issuance of such Note.

1.7              “Securities Act” means the Securities Act of 1933, as amended.

 

2.             Purchase and Sale of Notes. In exchange for the Consideration paid by each Purchaser, the Company will sell and issue to such Purchaser one or more Notes. Each Note will have a principal balance equal to that portion of the Consideration paid by such Purchaser for such Note, as set forth opposite such Purchaser’s name on the Schedule of Purchasers.

 

3.              Closings.

 

3.1              Initial Closing. The initial closing of the sale of the Notes in return for the Consideration paid by each Purchaser (the “Initial Closing”) will take place remotely via the exchange of documents and signatures on the date of this Agreement, or at such other time and place as the Company and the Purchasers purchasing a majority-in-interest of the aggregate principal amount of the Notes to be sold at the Initial Closing agree upon orally or in writing. At the Initial Closing, each Purchaser will deliver the Consideration to the Company and the Company will deliver to each Purchaser one or more executed Notes in return for the respective Consideration provided to the Company.

 

 

 

 

3.2              Subsequent Closings. In any subsequent closing (each a “Subsequent Closing”), the Company may sell additional Notes subject to the terms of this Agreement to any purchaser as it will select. Any subsequent purchasers of Notes will become parties to, and will be entitled to receive Notes in accordance with, this Agreement. Each Subsequent Closing will take place remotely via the exchange of documents and signatures or at such locations and at such times as will be mutually agreed upon orally or in writing by the Company and such purchasers of additional Notes. The Schedule of Purchasers will be updated to reflect the additional Notes purchased at each Subsequent Closing and the parties purchasing such additional Notes.

 

4.             Conversion and Company Repurchase Option. Each Note will be convertible into Conversion Shares pursuant to this Section 4.

 

4.1              Maturity Conversion. At any time on or after the Maturity Date, at the election of the holder thereof, each Note will convert into twenty (20) Founders Shares.

 

4.2               Mechanics of Conversion. Each Purchaser acknowledges that the conversion of the Notes into Founders Shares pursuant to Section 4.1 may require such Purchaser’s execution of certain agreements relating to the purchase and sale of the Founders Shares, as well as registration rights, rights of first refusal and co-sale, rights of first offer and voting rights, if any, relating to such securities (collectively, the “Financing Agreements”). Each Purchaser agrees to execute all of the Financing Agreements in connection with any future equity financing.

 

4.3              Certificates. As promptly as practicable after the conversion of each Note and the issuance of the Founders Shares, the Company (at its expense) will issue and deliver to the holder thereof a certificate or certificates evidencing the Founders Shares (if certificated), or if the Founders Shares are not certificated, will deliver a true and correct copy of the Company’s share register reflecting the Founders Shares held by such holder.

5.             Representations and Warranties of the Company. In connection with the transactions contemplated by this Agreement, the Company hereby represents and warrants to the Purchasers as follows:

 

5.1              Due Organization; Qualification and Good Standing. The Company is a corporation duly organized, validly existing and in good standing under the laws of the State of Florida and has all requisite corporate power and authority to carry on its business as now conducted. The Company is duly qualified to transact business and is in good standing in each jurisdiction in which the failure to so qualify or to be in good standing would have a material adverse effect on the Company.

 

5.2              Authorization and Enforceability. Except for the authorization and issuance of the Founders Shares, all corporate action has been taken on the part of the Company and its officers, directors and stockholders necessary for the authorization, execution and delivery of this Agreement and the Notes. Except as may be limited by applicable bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization or similar laws relating to or affecting the enforcement of creditors’ rights, the Company has taken all corporate action required to make all of the obligations of the Company reflected in the provisions of this Agreement and the Notes valid and enforceable in accordance with their terms.

 

6.             Representations and Warranties of the Purchasers. In connection with the transactions contemplated by this Agreement, each Purchaser, severally and not jointly, hereby represents and warrants to the Company as follows:

 

6.1              Authorization. Each Purchaser has full power and authority (and, if such Purchaser is an individual, the capacity) to enter into this Agreement and to perform all obligations required to be performed by it hereunder. This Agreement, when executed and delivered by each Purchaser, will constitute such Purchaser’s valid and legally binding obligation, enforceable in accordance with its terms, except (a) as limited by applicable bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization, moratorium, fraudulent conveyance and any other laws of general application affecting enforcement of creditors’ rights generally, and (b) as limited by laws relating to the availability of specific performance, injunctive relief or other equitable remedies.

 

6.2              Purchase Entirely for Own Account. Each Purchaser acknowledges that this Agreement is made with such Purchaser in reliance upon such Purchaser’s representation to the Company, which such Purchaser confirms by executing this Agreement, that the Notes and the Founders Shares (collectively, the “Securities”) will be acquired for investment for such Purchaser’s own account, not as a nominee or agent (unless otherwise specified on such Purchaser’s signature page hereto), and not with a view to the resale or distribution of any part thereof, and that such Purchaser has no present intention of selling, granting any participation in, or otherwise distributing the same. By executing this Agreement, each Purchaser further represents that such Purchaser does not have any contract, undertaking, agreement or arrangement with any person to sell, transfer or grant participations to such person or to any third person, with respect to the Securities. If other than an individual, each Purchaser also represents it has not been organized solely for the purpose of acquiring the Securities.

 

3

 

 

6.3              Disclosure of Information; Non-Reliance. Each Purchaser acknowledges that it has received all the information it considers necessary or appropriate to enable it to make an informed decision concerning an investment in the Securities. Each Purchaser further represents that it has had an opportunity to ask questions and receive answers from the Company regarding the terms and conditions of the offering of the Securities. Each Purchaser confirms that the Company has not given any guarantee or representation as to the potential success, return, effect or benefit (either legal, regulatory, tax, financial, accounting or otherwise) of an investment in the Securities. In deciding to purchase the Securities, each Purchaser is not relying on the advice or recommendations of the Company and such Purchaser has made its own independent decision that the investment in the Securities is suitable and appropriate for such Purchaser. Each Purchaser understands that no federal or state agency has passed upon the merits or risks of an investment in the Securities or made any finding or determination concerning the fairness or advisability of this investment.

 

6.4              Investment Experience. Each Purchaser is an investor in securities of companies in the development stage and acknowledges that it is able to fend for itself, can bear the economic risk of its investment and has such knowledge and experience in financial or business matters that it is capable of evaluating the merits and risks of the investment in the Securities.

 

6.5              Accredited Investor. Each Purchaser is an “accredited investor” within the meaning of Rule 501 of Regulation D promulgated under the Securities Act. Each Purchaser agrees to furnish any additional information requested by the Company to assure compliance with applicable U.S. federal and state securities laws in connection with the purchase and sale of the Securities.

 

6.6              Restricted Securities. Each Purchaser understands that the Securities have not been, and will not be, registered under the Securities Act or any state securities laws, by reason of specific exemptions under the provisions thereof which depend upon, among other things, the bona fide nature of the investment intent and the accuracy of each Purchaser’s representations as expressed herein. Each Purchaser understands that the Securities are “restricted securities” under U.S. federal and applicable state securities laws and that, pursuant to these laws, such Purchaser must hold the Securities indefinitely unless they are registered with the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) and registered or qualified by state authorities, or an exemption from such registration and qualification requirements is available. Each Purchaser acknowledges that the Company has no obligation to register or qualify the Securities for resale and further acknowledges that, if an exemption from registration or qualification is available, it may be conditioned on various requirements including, but not limited to, the time and manner of sale, the holding period for the Securities, and on requirements relating to the Company which are outside of such Purchaser’s control, and which the Company is under no obligation, and may not be able, to satisfy.

 

6.7              No Public Market. Each Purchaser understands that no public market now exists for the Securities and that the Company has made no assurances that a public market will ever exist for the Securities.

 

4

 

 

6.8              No General Solicitation. Each Purchaser, and its officers, directors, employees, agents, stockholders or partners have not either directly or indirectly, including through a broker or finder, solicited offers for or offered or sold the Securities by means of any form of general solicitation or general advertising within the meaning of Rule 502 of Regulation D under the Securities Act or in any manner involving a public offering within the meaning of Section 4(a)(2) of the Securities Act. Each Purchaser acknowledges that neither the Company nor any other person offered to sell the Securities to it by means of any form of general solicitation or advertising within the meaning of Rule 502 of Regulation D under the Securities Act or in any manner involving a public offering within the meaning of Section 4(a)(2) of the Securities Act.

 

6.9              Residence. If the Purchaser is an individual, such Purchaser resides in the state or province identified in the address shown on such Purchaser’s signature page hereto. If the Purchaser is a partnership, corporation, limited liability company or other entity, such Purchaser’s principal place of business is located in the state or province identified in the address shown on such Purchaser’s signature page hereto.

 

6.10          Foreign Investors. If a Purchaser is not a United States person (as defined by Section 7701(a)(30) of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended), such Purchaser hereby represents that it has satisfied itself as to the full observance of the laws of its jurisdiction in connection with any invitation to subscribe for the Securities or any use of this Agreement, including (a) the legal requirements within its jurisdiction for the purchase of the Securities; (b) any foreign exchange restrictions applicable to such purchase; (c) any governmental or other consents that may need to be obtained; and (d) the income tax and other tax consequences, if any, that may be relevant to the purchase, holding, conversion, redemption, sale, or transfer of the Securities. Each such Purchaser’s subscription and payment for and continued beneficial ownership of the Securities will not violate any applicable securities or other laws of such Purchaser’s jurisdiction. Each such Purchaser acknowledges that the Company has taken no action in foreign jurisdictions with respect to the Securities.

 

6.11          No “Bad Actor” Disqualification.

The Purchaser represents that the Purchaser has exercised reasonable care to determine the accuracy of the representation made by the Purchaser in this paragraph and agrees to notify the Company if the Purchaser becomes aware of any fact that makes the representation given by the Purchaser hereunder inaccurate.

(a)           “Market Stand-Off” Agreement. Each Purchaser hereby agrees that it will not, without the prior written consent of the managing underwriter, during the period commencing on the date of the final prospectus relating to the Company’s first underwritten public offering (the “IPO”) of its Common Stock under the Securities Act, and ending on the date specified by the Company and the managing underwriter(s) (such period not to exceed one hundred eighty (180) days, or such other period as may be requested by the Company or an underwriter to accommodate regulatory restrictions on (i) the publication or other distribution of research reports, and (ii) analyst recommendations and opinions): (A) lend; offer; pledge; sell; contract to sell; sell any option or contract to purchase; purchase any option or contract to sell; grant any option, right, or warrant to purchase; or otherwise transfer or dispose of, directly or indirectly, any shares of Founders Stock or any securities convertible into or exercisable or exchangeable (directly or indirectly) for Founders Stock (whether such shares or any such securities are then owned by the Purchaser or are thereafter acquired); or (B) enter into any swap or other arrangement that transfers to another, in whole or in part, any of the economic consequences of ownership of such securities; whether any such transaction described in clause (A) or (B) above is to be settled by delivery of Founders Stock or other securities, in cash, or otherwise. The foregoing provisions of this Section 7.12(a) will: (x) apply only to the IPO and will not apply to the sale of any shares to an underwriter pursuant to an underwriting agreement; (y) not apply to the transfer of any shares to any trust for the direct or indirect benefit of the Purchaser or the immediate family of the Purchaser, provided that the trustee of the trust agrees to be bound in writing by the restrictions set forth herein, and provided further that any such transfer will not involve a disposition for value; and (z) be applicable to the Purchasers only if all officers and directors of the Company are subject to the same restrictions and the Company uses commercially reasonable efforts to obtain a similar agreement from all stockholders individually owning more than 5% of the outstanding Founders Stock. Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary (including, for the avoidance of doubt, Section 7.1), the underwriters in connection with the IPO are intended third-party beneficiaries of this Section 7.12(a) and will have the right, power and authority to enforce the provisions hereof as though they were a party hereto. Each Purchaser further agrees to execute such agreements as may be reasonably requested by the underwriters in connection with the IPO that are consistent with this Section 7.12(a) or that are necessary to give further effect thereto.

 

7

 

 

In order to enforce the foregoing covenant, the Company may impose stop transfer instructions with respect to each Purchaser’s registrable securities of the Company (and the Company shares or securities of every other person subject to the foregoing restriction) until the end of such period. Each Purchaser agrees that a legend reading substantially as follows will be placed on all certificates representing all of such Purchaser’s registrable securities of the Company (and the Company shares or securities of every other person subject to the restriction contained in this Section 7.12(a)):

 

THE SECURITIES REPRESENTED BY THIS CERTIFICATE ARE SUBJECT TO A LOCK-UP PERIOD BEGINNING ON THE EFFECTIVE DATE OF THE COMPANY’S REGISTRATION STATEMENT FILED UNDER THE SECURITIES ACT OF 1933, AS AMENDED, AS SET FORTH IN AN AGREEMENT BETWEEN THE COMPANY AND THE ORIGINAL HOLDER OF THESE SECURITIES, A COPY OF WHICH MAY BE OBTAINED AT THE COMPANY’S PRINCIPAL OFFICE. SUCH LOCK-UP PERIOD IS BINDING ON TRANSFEREES OF THESE SECURITIES.

 

(b)           Further Limitations on Disposition. Without in any way limiting the representations and warranties set forth in this Agreement, each Purchaser agrees not to make any disposition of all or any portion of the Securities unless and until the transferee has agreed in writing for the benefit of the Company to make the representations and warranties set out in Section 6 and the undertaking set out in Section 7.12(a) of this Agreement and:

 

8

 

 

(i)                there is then in effect a registration statement under the Securities Act covering such proposed disposition, and such disposition is made in connection with such registration statement; or

 

(ii)             such Purchaser has (A) notified the Company of the proposed disposition; (B) furnished the Company with a detailed statement of the circumstances surrounding the proposed disposition; and (C) if requested by the Company, furnished the Company with an opinion of counsel reasonably satisfactory to the Company that such disposition will not require registration under the Securities Act.

 

Notwithstanding the provisions of paragraphs (i) and (ii) above, no such registration statement or opinion of counsel shall be necessary for a transfer by the Purchaser to a partner (or retired partner) or member (or retired member) of the Purchaser in accordance with partnership or limited liability company interests, or transfers by gift, will or intestate succession to any spouse or lineal descendants or ancestors, if all transferees agree in writing to be subject to the terms hereof to the same extent as if they were the Purchasers hereunder. Each Purchaser agrees that it will not make any disposition of any of the Securities to the Company’s competitors, as determined in good faith by the Company.

 

(c)            Legends. Each Purchaser understands and acknowledges that the Securities may bear the following legend:

 

THIS INSTRUMENT AND THE SECURITIES ISSUABLE UPON THE CONVERSION HEREOF HAVE NOT BEEN REGISTERED UNDER THE SECURITIES ACT OF 1933, AS AMENDED (THE “ACT”). THEY MAY NOT BE SOLD, OFFERED FOR SALE, PLEDGED, HYPOTHECATED OR OTHERWISE TRANSFERRED EXCEPT PURSUANT TO AN EFFECTIVE REGISTRATION STATEMENT UNDER THE ACT OR UPON RECEIPT BY THE COMPANY OF AN OPINION OF COUNSEL SATISFACTORY TO THE COMPANY THAT REGISTRATION IS NOT REQUIRED UNDER THE ACT.

 

7.13          Exculpation among Purchasers. Each Purchaser acknowledges that it is not relying upon any person, firm, corporation or stockholder, other than the Company and its officers and directors in their capacities as such, in making its investment or decision to invest in the Company. Each Purchaser agrees that no other Purchaser, nor the controlling persons, officers, directors, partners, agents, stockholders or employees of any other Purchaser, will be liable for any action heretofore or hereafter taken or not taken by any of them in connection with the purchase and sale of the Securities.

 

7.14          Acknowledgment. For the avoidance of doubt, it is acknowledged that each Purchaser will be entitled to the benefit of all adjustments in the number of Founders Shares of the Company’s capital stock as a result of any splits, recapitalizations, combinations or other similar transactions affecting the Company’s capital stock underlying the Founders Shares that occur prior to the conversion of the Notes.

 

9

 

 

7.15          Further Assurances. From time to time, the parties will execute and deliver such additional documents and will provide such additional information as may reasonably be required to carry out the full intent and purpose of this Agreement and the Notes and any agreements executed in connection herewith, and to comply with state or federal securities laws or other regulatory approvals.

 

7.16          Waiver of Jury Trial. EACH PARTY HEREBY WAIVES ITS RIGHTS TO A JURY TRIAL OF ANY CLAIM OR CAUSE OF ACTION BASED UPON, ARISING OUT OF OR IN ANY WAY RELATED TO THIS AGREEMENT, THE SECURITIES OR THE SUBJECT MATTER HEREOF OR THEREOF. THE SCOPE OF THIS WAIVER IS INTENDED TO BE ALL-ENCOMPASSING OF ANY AND ALL DISPUTES THAT MAY BE FILED IN ANY COURT AND THAT RELATE TO THE SUBJECT MATTER OF THIS TRANSACTION, INCLUDING, WITHOUT LIMITATION, CONTRACT CLAIMS, TORT CLAIMS (INCLUDING NEGLIGENCE), BREACH OF DUTY CLAIMS, AND ALL OTHER COMMON LAW AND STATUTORY CLAIMS. THIS SECTION HAS BEEN FULLY DISCUSSED BY EACH OF THE PARTIES HERETO AND THESE PROVISIONS WILL NOT BE SUBJECT TO ANY EXCEPTIONS. EACH PARTY HERETO HEREBY FURTHER REPRESENTS AND WARRANTS THAT SUCH PARTY HAS REVIEWED THIS WAIVER WITH ITS LEGAL COUNSEL, AND THAT SUCH PARTY KNOWINGLY AND VOLUNTARILY WAIVES ITS JURY TRIAL RIGHTS FOLLOWING CONSULTATION WITH LEGAL COUNSEL.
