Note and Warrant Purchase Agreement & Related Agreements

On November 13, 2023, the Issuer entered into a Note and Warrant Purchase Agreement (the “Note and Warrant Purchase Agreement”) with the lenders identified therein (the “Lenders”) providing for a loan with an aggregate principal amount of $5.5 million (the “Loan”). The Loan includes zero-interest promissory notes issued with a 10% original issue discount, which will mature on the earlier of the Issuer closing a credit facility with a principal amount of at least $20 million, a Sale Event (as defined in the Note and Warrant Purchase Agreement), a sale of securities in excess of $10 million (subject to certain exceptions), or twelve months after issuance (the “Notes”). The Notes contain customary events of default and are secured by the Issuer’s patent portfolio pursuant to a security agreement among the parties (the “Security Agreement”). The parties to the Note and Warrant Purchase Agreement also entered into an intercreditor and subordination agreement with the holders of the Issuer’s senior secured convertible notes, which notes will now be secured pursuant to the Security Agreement and rank senior in priority to the Notes. Mr. Seldin and CST Global LLC are included among the Lenders and hold Notes with principal amounts of $1,100,000 and $220,000, respectively.

Following acceptance by the New York Stock Exchange of the Issuer’s supplemental listing application, the Note and Warrant Purchase Agreement requires the Issuer to issue to the holders of Notes warrants exercisable for an amount of the Common Stock equal to 100% of the Note principal, which will be exercisable for $0.25 per share of Common Stock, have a 5-year term, and may be repurchased by the Issuer when the trading price of its Common Stock exceeds $1.50 for 20 out of any 30 consecutive trading days.

If the Notes have not been repaid within six or nine months after issuance, the Notes will begin to bear interest at the Secured Overnight Financing Rate (“SOFR”) plus 9% and at SOFR plus 12%, respectively, and an additional 25% warrant coverage will be provided at each such date, with a per share exercise price equal to 120% of the trading price of the Common Stock at the time of issuance and a redemption right in favor of the Issuer when the trading price of the Common Stock is greater than 200% of the applicable exercise price for 20 out of any 30 consecutive trading days.

Shares of Common Stock issuable upon exercise of the warrants will be limited to an aggregate of 19.9% of the Issuer’s outstanding Common Stock until such time as the transaction is approved by the Issuer’s stockholders.

The foregoing description of the Note and Warrant Purchase Agreement and the Notes is a summary only and is qualified in its entirety by reference to the Note and Warrant Purchase Agreement and the Form of Note attached hereto as Exhibits 99.17 and 99.18, respectively, which are incorporated herein by reference.
