All Milestone Payments hereunder shall be satisfied by: (A) in the case of Milestone Payments consisting of shares, delivery to Sellers of evidence from the Transfer Agent of the issuance to Seller of newly-issued shares in the names and for the account of each Seller (or such other names or accounts as any Seller may designate in writing at any time or from time to time to Buyer) or (B) in the case of Milestone Payments consisting of funds, cash payments deposited in the Seller Bank Accounts, in each case promptly (and no later than within three (3) Business Days) after the occurrence of a Milestone Event.

 

 

 

 

Milestone Event   Milestone Payments
Buyer consummates any Equity Offering   With respect to each Equity Offering, the applicable Milestone Payment shall be equal to the sum of: (i) 6.25% of the Equity Offering Proceeds received by Buyer from such Equity Offering, to the extent that such Equity Offering Proceeds are, collectively with the Equity Offering Proceeds from any previous Equity Offerings, less than or equal to $8,000,000 (the “Additional Initial Equity Raise Hurdle”); plus (ii) 5% of the Equity Offering Proceeds received by Buyer from Equity Offerings, to the extent that such Equity Offering Proceeds are, collectively with the Equity Offering Proceeds from all previous Equity Offerings (other than Equity Offerings in respect of which Milestone Payments have already been delivered to Sellers under clause (i)), greater than $8,000,000 and less than or equal to $50,000,000.
     
(i) Buyer consummates any Equity Offering and (ii) as a result of such Equity Offering, the aggregate proceeds received by Buyer from all Equity Offerings (including the Concurrent Equity Offering) equal or exceed $50,000,000.   A one-time Milestone Payment (the “One-Time Milestone Payment”) comprised of a number of shares of Common Stock (“Milestone Shares”) equal to the product of (i) 50% multiplied by (ii) a number of shares that, collectively with all Common Stock and Common Stock Equivalents previously issued to (x) Sellers under this Agreement and (y) Lightsolver pursuant to the License Agreement (in each case, on an as-converted-to-common-stock basis, ignoring for such purposes any conversion limitations therein), would, on an as-converted-to-common-stock basis, represent 10% of all the issued and outstanding shares of Buyer on a Fully-Diluted Basis.

 

 

 

 

During the period commencing on the ninetieth (90th) day after the Closing Date (the “Market Cap Period”), the Market Capitalization is equal to or greater than $100,000,000 for a period of ten (10) consecutive Trading Days (the “Initial Market Cap Condition”).  

If the Initial Market Cap Condition is satisfied at such time as the One-Time Milestone Payment has not been satisfied, $1,750,000 (the “Initial Market Cap Payment”), which shall be payable, at Buyer’s election, in cash, equity or partly in cash and partly in equity, provided that any portion of the Initial Market Cap Payment payable in equity shall be delivered in the form of freely tradeable shares of registered Common Stock or, if freely tradeable registered shares are not available at the time the Initial Market Cap Payment comes due, Buyer may deliver to Sellers shares of preferred stock, convertible into shares of Common Stock and accruing dividends at a rate of 7.0% per annum, and with such other terms as Buyer and Sellers, cooperating in good faith, mutually agree (the “Initial Market Cap Payment Shares”). Within fifteen (15) days after the issuance of Initial Market Cap Payment Shares (if any), Buyer shall file with the SEC an initial Registration Statement on Form S-3 (if such form is available for use by Buyer at such time) or, otherwise, on Form S-1, covering the Initial Market Cap Payment Shares, and Buyer shall use its reasonable best efforts to have such Registration Statement and any amendments thereto declared effective by the SEC at the earliest possible date. .

 

However, if the One-Time Milestone Payment has been satisfied prior to the date on which the Initial Market Cap Condition is satisfied, then Buyer shall be relieved from its obligation to make the Initial Market Cap Payment, and Sellers shall have no right to receive the Initial Market Cap Payment hereunder.

 

 

 

 

During the Market Cap Period, the Market Capitalization is equal to or greater than $250,000,000 for a period of ten (10) consecutive Trading Days.   A number of shares of Common Stock (the “Additional Market Cap Payment”) that, at the time of issuance, would, on as-converted-to-common-stock basis (ignoring for such purposes any conversion limitations in the Preferred Stock), constitute 2% of Buyer’s issued and outstanding shares on a Fully-Diluted Basis (such obligation, for the avoidance of doubt, being non-exclusive with the Initial Market Cap Payment set forth immediately above). Shares delivered to Sellers in respect of the Additional Market Cap Payment, together with shares (if any) comprising the Initial Market Cap Payment, the Market Cap Warrants and any Underlying Shares are collectively referred as the “Market Cap Milestone Securities”.
     
During the Market Cap Period, the Market Capitalization is equal to or greater than $500,000,000 for a period of ten (10) consecutive Trading Days.  

A newly-issued Common Stock purchase warrant of Buyer with an exercise price per share equal to the closing price per share of Common Stock as of the date such Milestone Event is achieved (the “Market Cap Warrants”) exercisable for a number of shares of Common Stock that, if exercised at the time of such Milestone Event, on an as-converted-to-common-stock basis and ignoring any conversion limitations therein), would constitute 2% of all the issued and outstanding shares of Common Stock on a Fully-Diluted Basis as of such date. Notwithstanding the foregoing, such Market Cap Warrants shall only become exercisable if the Company completes or enters into a strategic transaction or strategic advisory arrangement or partnership with a digital asset company within six (6) months of the Closing Date and, if it does not, then the Market Cap Warrants shall expire worthless.

 

For the avoidance of doubt, the obligation to issue the Market Cap Warrants is non-exclusive with the Initial Market Cap Payment and Additional Market Cap Payment obligations set forth above.

     
The Company achieving Gross Revenue of $1,000,000.   An amount in cash equal to $500,000.

 

 

 

 

(b) Termination of License Agreement. Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, if the License Agreement is, at any time after the date of this Agreement, terminated for any reason (or no reason), or the Company’s or Buyer’s rights under the License Agreement are otherwise materially and adversely modified, then Buyer shall thereupon automatically and immediately be relieved from its obligation to make any additional Milestone Payments, and Sellers shall have no right to receive any further consideration hereunder.

 

(c) Beneficial Ownership Limitation. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in Section 2.02(a)(ii), to the extent that a Seller determines, in its sole discretion, that such Seller (together with such Seller’s affiliates, and any person acting as a group together with such Seller or any of such Seller’s affiliates) would beneficially own (as determined in accordance with Section 13(d) of the Exchange Act) in excess of 4.9% of the issued and outstanding Common Stock on the date in question, in lieu of purchasing receiving shares of Common Stock such Seller may elect to receive a prefunded warrant or preferred stock (the form and substance of which shall be reasonably agreed to by such Seller and Buyer) which instrument shall maintain such Seller’s beneficial ownership below 4.9%.

 

(d) Stockholder Meeting. Buyer shall, as promptly as practicable, and in any event within 60 days following the Closing, call a stockholder meeting to seek approval pursuant to the rules of the principal Trading Market from Buyer’s stockholders of the issuance of (i) all shares underlying the Preferred Stock, (ii) shares included in Milestone Payments and (iii) shares underlying the Market Cap Warrants. Until such approval is obtained, Buyer shall not be obligated to issue shares of Common Stock to the extent that it would otherwise violate the rules of the Trading Market until such stockholder approval is obtained, provided, however, that upon obtaining such approval, the Company shall, within two (2) Trading Days, deliver to Sellers any shares that would otherwise have been issuable but for the failure to obtain such approval.

 

Section 2.03 Closing. The Closing shall take place concurrently with the consummation of the Concurrent Equity Offering (the date on which the Closing occurs, the “Closing Date”), remotely via the electronic exchange of signatures.

Buyer and the Company shall be entitled to deduct and withhold from any payments of the Purchase Price to be made hereunder all taxes that Buyer and the Company may be required to deduct and withhold under any provision of tax law. All such withheld amounts shall be treated as delivered to Sellers hereunder to the extent such withheld amounts are timely remitted to the appropriate Governmental Authority; provided, however, that with respect to any payment of the Purchase Price to be made hereunder, a reasonable amount of time prior to any such payment, Buyer or the Company, as applicable, shall (i) notify Sellers, in writing, of any anticipated withholding from the amounts payable hereunder, (ii) consult with Sellers in good faith to determine whether such deduction and withholding is required under applicable law and (iii) cooperate with Sellers in good faith to minimize the amount of any applicable withholding.

If all or any portion of the Market Cap Warrants is exercised at a time when there is an effective registration statement to cover the resale of the Underlying Shares, or if such Underlying Shares may be sold under Rule 144 and Buyer is then in compliance with the current public information required under Rule 144 (assuming cashless exercise of the Market Cap Warrants), or if the Underlying Shares may be sold under Rule 144 without the requirement for Buyer to be in compliance with the current public information required under Rule 144 as to such Underlying Shares or if such legend is not otherwise required under applicable requirements of the Securities Act (including judicial interpretations and pronouncements issued by the staff of the Commission) then such Underlying Shares shall be issued free of all legends. Buyer agrees that at such time as such legend is no longer required under this Section 2.07(d), it will, no later than one (1) Trading Day following the delivery by a Seller to Buyer or the Transfer Agent of a certificate representing Underlying Shares, as the case may be, issued with a restrictive legend (such date, the “Legend Removal Date”), deliver or cause to be delivered to such Seller a certificate representing such shares that is free from all restrictive and other legends. Buyer 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 2.07. Certificates for Securities subject to legend removal hereunder shall be transmitted by the Transfer Agent to Seller by crediting the account of Seller’s prime broker with the Depository Trust Buyer System as directed by such Seller.

 

(e) In addition to such Seller’s other available remedies, Buyer shall pay to a Seller, in cash, (i) as partial liquidated damages and not as a penalty, for each $1,000 of Underlying Shares (based on the VWAP of the Common Stock on the date such Securities are submitted to the Transfer Agent) delivered for removal of the restrictive legend and subject to Section 2.07(d), $10 per Trading Day (increasing to $20 per Trading Day three (3) Trading Days after the Legend Removal Date) for each Trading Day after the Legend Removal Date until such certificate is delivered without a legend and (ii) if Buyer fails to (a) issue and deliver (or cause to be delivered) to a Seller by the Legend Removal Date a certificate representing the Securities so delivered to Buyer by such Seller that is free from all restrictive and other legends and (b) if after the Legend Removal Date such Seller purchases (in an open market transaction or otherwise) shares of Common Stock to deliver in satisfaction of a sale by such Seller of all or any portion of the number of shares of Common Stock, or a sale of a number of shares of Common Stock equal to all or any portion of the number of shares of Common Stock that such Seller anticipated receiving from Buyer without any restrictive legend, then, an amount equal to the excess of such Seller’s total purchase price (including brokerage commissions and other out-of-pocket expenses, if any) for the shares of Common Stock so purchased (including brokerage commissions and other out-of-pocket expenses, if any) (the “Buy-In Price”) over the product of (A) such number of Underlying Shares that Buyer was required to deliver to such Seller by the Legend Removal Date multiplied by (B) the lowest closing sale price of the Common Stock on any Trading Day during the period commencing on the date of the delivery by such Seller to Buyer of the applicable Underlying Shares (as the case may be) and ending on the date of such delivery and payment under this clause (ii).

 

 

 

 

(f) Each Seller, severally and not jointly with the other Sellers, agrees with Buyer that such Seller will sell any Securities pursuant to either the registration requirements of the Securities Act, including any applicable prospectus delivery requirements, or an exemption therefrom, and that if Securities are sold pursuant to a Registration Statement, they will be sold in compliance with the plan of distribution set forth therein, and acknowledges that the removal of the restrictive legend from certificates representing Securities as set forth in this Section 2.07 is predicated upon Buyer’s reliance upon this understanding.

 

Section 2.08 Furnishing of Information; Public Information.

 

(a) Buyer 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 Buyer after the date hereof pursuant to the Exchange Act even if Buyer is not then subject to the reporting requirements of the Exchange Act.

 

(b) At any time during the period commencing from the six (6) month anniversary of the Closing Date and ending at such time that all of the Securities may be sold without the requirement for Buyer to be in compliance with Rule 144(c)(1) and otherwise without restriction or limitation pursuant to Rule 144, if Buyer (i) shall fail for any reason to satisfy the current public information requirement under Rule 144(c) or (ii) has ever been an issuer described in Rule 144(i)(1)(i) or becomes an issuer in the future, and Buyer shall fail to satisfy any condition set forth in Rule 144(i)(2) (a “Public Information Failure”) then, in addition to such Seller’s other available remedies, Buyer shall pay to a Seller, in cash, as partial liquidated damages and not as a penalty, by reason of any such delay in or reduction of its ability to sell the Securities, an amount in cash equal to two percent (2.0%) of the aggregate Stated Value (as defined in the Certificate of Designation) of such Seller’s Preferred Stock on the day of a Public Information Failure and on every thirtieth (30th) day (pro rated for periods totaling less than thirty days) thereafter until the earlier of (a) the date such Public Information Failure is cured and (b) such time that such public information is no longer required for Sellers to transfer the Underlying Shares pursuant to Rule 144. The payments to which a Seller shall be entitled pursuant to this Section 2.08(b) are referred to herein as “Public Information Failure Payments.” Public Information Failure Payments shall be paid on the earlier of (i) the last day of the calendar month during which such Public Information Failure Payments are incurred and (ii) the third (3rd) Business Day after the event or failure giving rise to the Public Information Failure Payments is cured. In the event Buyer fails to make Public Information Failure Payments in a timely manner, such Public Information Failure Payments shall bear interest at the rate of 2.0% per month (prorated for partial months) until paid in full. Nothing herein shall limit such Seller’s right to pursue actual damages for the Public Information Failure, and such Seller shall have the right to pursue all remedies available to it at law or in equity including, without limitation, a decree of specific performance and/or injunctive relief.

 

 

 

 

Section 2.09 Notice, Access and Information. During such period as Sellers continue to own Buyer shares delivered as consideration pursuant to this Agreement, Buyer shall provide each Seller with: (i) quarterly financial statements (including, without limitation, auditor-reviewed unaudited quarterly statements and audited year-end financial statements), and, upon request of any Seller, monthly financial reports, (ii) access, upon request of any Seller, at reasonable times during normal business hours and upon reasonable intervals and notice, access to all books and records, financial and operating data and other information of Buyer pertinent to determinations as to satisfaction of milestones hereunder, (iii) Buyer capitalization information, upon request of any Seller.

Section 9.04 Headings. The headings in this Agreement are for reference only and shall not affect the interpretation of this Agreement.

 

Section 9.05 Severability. If any term or provision of this Agreement is invalid, illegal, or unenforceable in any jurisdiction, such invalidity, illegality, or unenforceability shall not affect any other term or provision of this Agreement or invalidate or render unenforceable such term or provision in any other jurisdiction. Upon a determination that any term or other provision is invalid, illegal, or unenforceable, the parties hereto shall negotiate in good faith to modify the Agreement so as to effect the original intent of the parties as closely as possible in a mutually acceptable manner in order that the transactions contemplated hereby be consummated as originally contemplated to the greatest extent possible.

 

Section 9.06 Entire Agreement. This Agreement and the documents to be delivered hereunder constitute the sole and entire agreement of the parties to this Agreement with respect to the subject matter contained herein, and supersede all prior and contemporaneous understandings and agreements, both written and oral, with respect to such subject matter. In the event of any inconsistency between the terms and provisions in the body of this Agreement and those in the documents delivered in connection herewith and the Exhibits, the terms and provisions in the body of this Agreement shall control.

 

Section 9.07 Successors and Assigns. This Agreement shall be binding upon and shall inure to the benefit of the parties hereto and their respective successors and permitted assigns. No party may assign its rights or obligations hereunder without the prior written consent of each other party (provided, however, that rights and benefits of each Seller hereunder shall be assignable by such Seller’s Permitted Transferees), which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed. No assignment shall relieve the assigning party of any of its obligations hereunder.

 

Section 9.08 No Third-Party Beneficiaries. This Agreement is for the sole benefit of the parties hereto and their respective successors and permitted assigns and nothing herein, express or implied, is intended to or shall confer upon any other person or entity any legal or equitable right, benefit, or remedy of any nature whatsoever under or by reason of this Agreement.

 

Section 9.09 Amendment and Modification. This Agreement may only be amended, modified, or supplemented by an agreement in writing signed by each party hereto (including any Permitted Transferees of any Seller).

 

Section 9.10 Waiver. No waiver by any party of any of the provisions hereof shall be effective unless explicitly set forth in writing and signed by the party so waiving. No waiver by any party shall operate or be construed as a waiver in respect of any failure, breach, or default not expressly identified by such written waiver, whether of a similar or different character, and whether occurring before or after that waiver. No failure to exercise, or delay in exercising, any right, remedy, power, or privilege arising from this Agreement shall operate or be construed as a waiver thereof; nor shall any single or partial exercise of any right, remedy, power, or privilege hereunder preclude any other or further exercise thereof or the exercise of any other right, remedy, power, or privilege.

 

 

 

 

Section 9.11 Governing Law. This Agreement and all related documents shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the internal laws of the State of New York without giving effect to any choice or conflict of law provision or rule (whether of the State of New York or any other jurisdiction).

 

Section 9.12 Submission to Jurisdiction. Each party agrees that all legal proceedings concerning the interpretations, enforcement and defense of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement (whether brought against a party hereto or its respective affiliates, directors, officers, shareholders, partners, members, employees or agents) shall be commenced exclusively in the state and federal courts sitting in the City of New York. Each party hereby irrevocably submits to the exclusive jurisdiction of the state and federal courts sitting in the City of New York, Borough of Manhattan (and any appellate divisions thereof) 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 action or proceeding, any claim that it is not personally subject to the jurisdiction of any such court, that such action or proceeding is improper or is an inconvenient venue for such proceeding. Each party hereby irrevocably waives personal service of process and consents to process being served in any such action or proceeding by mailing a copy thereof via registered or certified mail or overnight delivery (with evidence of delivery) to such party at the address in effect for notices to it under this 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 other manner permitted by law. If any party shall commence an action or proceeding to enforce any provisions of this Agreement, then, the prevailing party in such action or proceeding shall be reimbursed by the non-prevailing party for its reasonable attorneys’ fees and other costs and expenses incurred with the investigation, preparation and prosecution of such action or proceeding.

 

Section 9.13 Waiver of Jury Trial. EACH PARTY ACKNOWLEDGES AND AGREES THAT ANY CONTROVERSY WHICH MAY ARISE UNDER THIS AGREEMENT IS LIKELY TO INVOLVE COMPLICATED AND DIFFICULT ISSUES AND, THEREFORE, EACH SUCH PARTY IRREVOCABLY AND UNCONDITIONALLY WAIVES ANY RIGHT IT MAY HAVE TO A TRIAL BY JURY IN RESPECT OF ANY LEGAL ACTION ARISING OUT OF OR RELATING TO THIS AGREEMENT OR THE TRANSACTIONS CONTEMPLATED HEREBY.

 

Section 9.14 Specific Performance. The parties agree that irreparable damage would occur if any provision of this Agreement were not performed in accordance with the terms hereof and that the parties shall be entitled to specific performance of the terms hereof, in addition to any other remedy to which they are entitled at law or in equity. Each party hereto: (a) agrees that it shall not oppose the granting of such specific performance or relief; and (b) hereby irrevocably waives any requirements for the security or posting of any bond in connection with such relief.

 

Section 9.15 Counterparts. This Agreement may be executed in counterparts, each of which shall be deemed an original, but all of which together shall be deemed to be one and the same agreement. A signed copy of this Agreement delivered by email or other means of electronic transmission shall be deemed to have the same legal effect as delivery of an original signed copy of this Agreement.
