The foregoing extension right is subject to, among other items, (i) the Loan not being in default, (ii) the representations and warranties contained in Credit Agreement being true and correct; and (iii) the Lender granting its written approval thereof in its sole discretion. The Senior Note may be prepaid by the Company at any time. In addition, the Credit Agreement provides that in the event there shall be excess cash flow from the Aspire Business (as such concept is defined in the Credit Agreement) for any calendar month, commencing with the month ended December 31, 2022, the Company shall apply a portion of such excess cash flow amount to prepay the outstanding principal balance of the Loan; provided that no such prepayment shall be required once the unpaid principal balance of the Loan has been reduced to $15,000,000. The Credit Agreement requires the Company to meet certain financial covenants. The Loan is secured by all of the assets of the Company and its subsidiaries. The Loan may be accelerated by the Lender upon an event of default, which in addition to customary events of default include: (i) if (1) any of the Company or its subsidiaries shall fail to maintain in full force and effect any gaming approval (as defined in the Credit Agreement) required for the operation of its business or (2) any gaming regulator shall impose any condition or limitation on any of the foregoing entities that could be reasonably expected to have a material adverse effect; or (ii) the suspension from trading or failure of the Company’s common stock to be trading or listed on the Nasdaq exchange for a period of three consecutive trading days. As of March 31, 2022, the Company had not maintained compliance with the covenants of the Senior Notes and obtained a waiver from its lender which waiver was contingent on the completion of an equity raise of $3.5 million, which was completed in June 2022. In consideration for obtaining a waiver from the compliance with certain covenants, the Company agreed to amend the Senior Notes such that $5 million of principal loan balance becomes convertible at $107.40 per share commencing after the Company raises the $5,000,000 of common equity (including the foregoing $3.5 million). On February 2, 2023, the conversion option became exercisable upon closing of the offering that generated $ 6,500,000 In connection with the Loan, the Company issued the Lender a warrant (the “Lender Warrant”) to purchase 52,262 shares of Company common stock at an initial exercise price of $750 per share expiring on the earlier to occur of (i) five years following the issue date or (ii) the second anniversary of the satisfaction of all obligations of the Company under the Credit Agreement. The exercise price is subject to appropriate adjustment in the event of certain stock dividends and distributions, stock splits, stock combinations, reclassifications or similar events affecting the Company’s common stock. In addition, the exercise price of the Lender Warrant is subject to “weighted-average” anti-dilution protection for issuances by the Company below the exercise price (other than certain defined exempt issuances), and, upon shareholder approval, which was received on February 9, 2022, the number of shares underlying the Lender Warrant shall also be adjusted for issuances to which the “weighted-average” anti-dilution protection applies. Pursuant to the foregoing anti-dilution provision, in connection with the $3.5 million offering completed in June 2022, the number of shares underlying the warrant increased to 55,152 and the exercise price was reduced to $710.70. Pursuant to the foregoing anti-dilution provision, in connection with the $6.5 million offering completed in February 2023, the number of shares underlying the warrant increased to 77,082 508.50 77,082 Between September 2, 2022 and June 20, 2023, the Lender provided the Company with multiple limited waivers of the Senior Note covenants in exchange for aggregate payments of $ 609,558 3,000,000 On June 30, 2023, the Company, the subsidiaries of the Company and the Lender entered into a forbearance agreement (the “Forbearance Agreement”). Pursuant to the Forbearance Agreement, the Company acknowledged, among other items, that, as June 30, 2023, it was in default under the Credit Agreement, the Lender had the right to accelerate the Loan, and the Lender had the right to impose the default rate of interest under the Credit Agreement. Pursuant to the Forbearance Agreement, the Lender agreed to forbear from exercising its rights and remedies against the Company and the Guarantors under the Credit Documents until the earlier of September 15, 2023 or a termination event. A termination event under the Forbearance Agreement consists of the filing of a bankruptcy proceeding by the Company or any Guarantor, the occurrence of a new event of default under the Credit Agreement, or the failure by the Company or any Guarantor to perform any material requirement, covenant, or obligation under the Forbearance Agreement. During the forbearance period, the Lender agreed, among other items, not to accelerate the Loan, initiate any bankruptcy filings, or apply any default rates of interest. As partial consideration for the Lender agreeing to enter into the Forbearance Agreement, the Company paid a forbearance fee equal to 50 basis points of the outstanding principal amount of the Loan (or $130,425), which amount was added to the principal balance of the loan. In addition, on June 30, 2023, the Company made a prepayment of the Loan in the amount of $ 2 On October 1, 2023, the Company, the subsidiaries of the Company and the Lender entered into an amendment number 2 to the Forbearance Agreement (the “Forbearance Amendment No. 2”). The Forbearance Amendment No. 2 extended the Forbearance Date from October 31, 2023 until June 30, 2025, and provides that instead of interest being payable monthly in cash, such interest shall accrue in arrears and can be added to the outstanding principal balance of the Loan and Revolving Note. The interest rate on the Loan and the Revolving Note was increased to 16.5% per annum. The Forbearance Amendment No. 2 further adds that the Company’s suspension from trading or failure to be listed on the Nasdaq Capital Market for more than 30 calendar days will constitute a Termination Event under the Forbearance Agreement as amended. On November 11, 2023, Lender provided the Company with an extension of the Nasdaq Capital Market delisting/suspension Termination Event for an additional 40 calendar days up to December 23, 2023, and on December 19, 2023, the Lender provided the Company with an additional extension of 40 days. Pursuant to Forbearance Amendment No. 2, the Company agreed that to the extent it receives net proceeds from or in connection with a judgment, settlement or other in or out of court resolution of a commercial tort claim, the Company will: (i) make a prepayment on the Loan or the Revolving Note (discussed below) of 100% of such net proceeds; and (ii) make an additional payment to the Lender equal to 5% of any such net proceeds (prior to the payments set forth in subsection (i)) in excess of $50.0 million. In connection with the Forbearance Agreement, the Lender agreed to provide the Company with a revolving line of credit in the amount of $2.0 million (the “Revolving Note”), with any advances under the Revolving Note to be made in the sole discretion of the Lender. On September 29, 2023, the Lender agreed to increase the maximum available amount of the Revolving Loan to $ 4 40,000 November 29, 2024 15.0 1,690,000 Effective October 1, 2023, the Company entered into an amended and restated note conversion option agreement (the “Option Agreement”) with the Lender. Pursuant to the Option, the Company agreed that Lender have the right to convert any amounts due pursuant to the Loan and the Revolving Note into shares of Company common stock at a conversion price of $1.25 per share with respect to the initial $5.0 million and at a conversion price of $2.50 per share with respect to the remaining amounts. In addition, the Company agreed to file a registration statement registering the resale of the shares of Company common stock underlying the Loan within 45 days of the date of the Option and to use its commercially reasonable efforts to cause such registration statement to become effective within 120 days of the date of the Option. The Option Agreement provides that the Lender (together with its affiliates) may not convert any portion of the Loan or Revolving Loan during an initial 45-day lockup or to the extent that the Lender would own more than 9.99% of the Company’s outstanding common stock immediately after exercise, except that upon prior notice from the Lender to the Company, the Lender may increase or decrease the amount of ownership of outstanding stock after conversion of the Loan, provided that any modification will not be effective until 61 days following notice to the Company. On January 9, 2024, the Company, the subsidiaries of the Company and the Lender entered into a Third Amendment to Credit Agreement (the “Amendment No. 3”). The Amendment No. 3 increased the maximum available amount of the Revolving Loan from $4.0 million to $6.5 million and provided such additional loan availability under a use of proceeds that including working capital as well as funding for our litigation matters, materially including our litigation against Aspire. In connection with entering into Amendment No. 3, the Company and the Lender entered in a second amended and restated note conversion option agreement (the “Conversion Agreement”), pursuant to which the Company agreed that the Lender shall have the right to convert the principal balance and accrued interest under the Loan and Revolving Note into shares of Company common stock at a conversion price of $0.116 per share (subject to adjustment for stock splits, stock dividends and other similar events). The foregoing conversion price is subject to future adjustment to the lowest price per share referenced in any equity related instrument the Company issues to any other person until the Lender has exercised its conversion rights. Pursuant to the Conversion Agreement, the Lender is prohibited from converting its debt to the extent that such conversion would result in the number of shares of common stock beneficially owned by Lender and its affiliates exceeding 9.99% of the total number of shares of common stock outstanding immediately after giving effect to the conversion, which percentage may be increased or decreased at the holder’s election provided any adjustment would not become effective for 61 days. The Company agreed to file a resale registration statement providing for the resale by the Lender of the shares of common stock that may be received upon the foregoing conversion within 30 calendar days of the Lender’s request, and to use commercially reasonable efforts to cause such registration statement to become effective within 90 days of such request. To the extent that the Company does not have sufficient authorized shares of common stock to allow for the full conversion permitted by the Conversion Agreement, upon the Lender’s request, the Company will be required to use its reasonable best efforts to obtain approval of an increase in the Company's authorized shares from its shareholders. During any period of time that the Company does not have sufficient authorized shares to allow for the full conversion permitted by the Conversion Agreement, the Company will be prohibited from issuing any shares of common stock or common stock equivalents. As a result of Amendment No. 3, the exercise price of the warrants issued to the holders of Preferred Stock was reset to $0.116 per share. As a result of the event of default on the Senior Note, the Company amortized all remaining debt discount and debt issuance costs associated with the Senior Note. During the year ended September 30, 2023 and 2022, the Company recognized interest expense of $ 10,962,752 4,216,442 no Note due to Aspire The Note provides for an interest rate of 10% per annum. The maturity date of the Note will be the earlier of that date which is four years from the issuance date or a liquidity event. The Note will require repayment of the principal amount plus any accrued interest in three equal installments, payable annually starting on the second anniversary after issuance. No interest payment shall be due until that date which is the last day of the end of the second-year anniversary of issuance should the Note remain unpaid at such time. Should the Note remain unpaid at the second-year anniversary, the total accrued interest due at that time shall be paid at the second-year anniversary for accrued interest for the period from the issuance date through the second-year anniversary date. Thereafter, and on each annual anniversary date thereafter, the interest due for the prior annual period shall be paid. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if the Company owes greater than $15,000,000 under the Credit Agreement, then the parties agree that the Company shall repay any principal amount plus any accrued interest due through the issuance of Company common stock in lieu of any cash payment and the amount of said common stock shares to be issued by the Company shall be determined by using the Conversion Price as defined below. Should an event of default occur on the Note, then at the election of Aspire, either (i) the Operator Services Agreement will be amended such that the fees payable shall increase by 5% during the continuation of the event of default, or (ii) Aspire may elect to convert the entire outstanding principal amount plus any accrued interest into shares of common stock of the Company at a price per share based on the weighted-average per-share price for the ten trading days prior to the date of the occurrence of the event of default (“Conversion Price”). In no event shall the Conversion Price be lower than $540.00 per share (as adjusted for stock splits, stock dividends, or similar events occurring after the date hereof) and the total maximum number of shares of common stock that may be issued to Aspire upon any such conversion in the aggregate shall be 21,667 shares (as adjusted for stock splits, stock dividends, or similar events occurring after the date hereof). As a result of the default on the Senior Note and the Forbearance Agreement described above, a potential event of default exists pursuant to the terms of the Note, and as such as classified all principal and interest as a current liability.
