Rezolve AI Limited
Secured Convertible Note
| |
Issuance Date: [●], 202[●] | Original Principal Amount: U.S. $[●] |
FOR VALUE RECEIVED, Rezolve AI Limited, a private limited company incorporated in England and Wales (the “Company”), hereby promises to pay to the order of [HOLDER] or its registered assigns (“Holder”) the amount set forth above as the Original Principal Amount (as reduced pursuant to the terms hereof pursuant to conversion or otherwise, the “Principal”) when due, whether upon the Maturity Date, or upon acceleration or otherwise (in each case in accordance with the terms hereof) and, if an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, to pay interest (“Interest”) on any outstanding Principal then held in the Cash Account at the applicable Interest Rate (as defined herein) or Default Rate (as defined herein), as applicable, when the same becomes due and payable as provided herein. This Secured Convertible Note (including all Secured Convertible Notes issued in exchange, transfer or replacement hereof, this “Note”) is one of an issue of Secured Convertible Notes issued pursuant to the Securities Purchase Agreement (the “Securities Purchase Agreement”), dated as of [●], 2025 (the “Subscription Date”), by and among the Company and the investors (the “Buyers”) referred to therein, as amended from time to time (collectively, the “Notes”, and such other Secured Convertible Notes, the “Additional Notes”). Certain capitalized terms used herein are defined in Section 31.
1. PAYMENTS OF PRINCIPAL. On the Maturity Date, the Company shall pay to the Holder an amount in cash representing all outstanding Principal, accrued and unpaid Interest and accrued and unpaid Late Charges (as defined in Section 24(c)) on such Principal and Interest, up to an amount equal to the Holder’s pro rata share of the assets held by the special purpose entity of the Company (the “New SPV Subsidiary”) which owns the cash held in the Cash Account and the proceeds from liquidation of the Bitcoin Escrow Account (the “Maximum Repayment Amount”), except that, automatically and without any notice required hereunder, immediately upon the first occurrence of any Major Event of Default the Company shall pay to the Holder in cash all Principal, Interest, and Late Charges without regard to the Maximum Repayment Amount. For the avoidance of doubt, the value of the Bitcoin held in the Bitcoin Escrow Account shall be the fair market value of the Bitcoin held in the Bitcoin Escrow Account on the Maturity Date. The Company may not prepay any portion of the outstanding Principal, accrued and unpaid Interest or accrued and unpaid Late Charges on Principal and Interest, if any.
2. INTEREST; DEFAULT RATE.
(a) Interest shall accrue hereunder at the Effective Federal Funds Rate (the “Interest Rate”) unless and until an Event of Default (as defined in Section 4(a)) has occurred. The “Effective Federal Funds Rate” means for any day the rate per annum (based on a year of three hundred sixty (360) days and actual days elapsed and rounded upward to the nearest 1/100 of 1%) announced by the Federal Reserve Bank of New York (or any successor) on such day as being the weighted average of the rates on overnight federal funds transactions arranged by federal funds brokers on the previous trading day, as computed and announced by such Federal Reserve Bank (or any successor) in substantially the same manner as such Federal Reserve Bank computes and announces the weighted average it refers to as the “Effective Federal Funds Rate”; provided that if such Federal Reserve Bank (or its successor) does not announce such rate on any day, the “Effective Federal Funds Rate” for such day shall be the Effective Federal Funds Rate for the last day on which such rate was announced. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if the Effective Federal Funds Rate as determined under any method above would be less than zero percent (0.00%), such rate shall be deemed to be zero percent (0.00%) for purposes of this Note. Interest on this Note shall commence accruing on the Issuance Date at the Effective Federal Funds Rate based on the outstanding Principal amount of this Note and shall be computed on the basis of a 360-day year assuming a 30-day month (i.e. 30/360 basis). For the avoidance of doubt, and notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, any Interest payable hereunder shall be calculated only on the portion of the Principal of this Note held in the Cash Account and under no circumstances, on any portion attributed to amounts held in the Bitcoin Escrow Account.
(b) From and after the occurrence and during the continuance of any Event of Default, Interest shall accrue hereunder at a rate equal to the applicable Interest Rate plus five percent (5.0%) per annum (in each case, the “Default Rate”), and shall be computed on the basis of a 360-day year and twelve 30-day months and shall be payable in arrears on the first Business Day of the calendar month immediately succeeding the month during which an Event of Default has occurred or is continuing, as applicable (a “Default Interest Date”). Accrued and unpaid Interest, if any, shall also be payable as part of the Conversion Amount upon any redemption or conversion hereunder occurring prior to a Default Interest Date. In the event that such Event of Default is subsequently cured or waived in writing by the Holder (and no other Event of Default then exists, including, without limitation, for the Company’s failure to pay such Interest at the Default Rate on the applicable Default Interest Date). Interest shall cease to accrue hereunder as of the calendar day immediately following the date of such cure or waiver; provided that Interest as calculated and unpaid during the continuance of such Event of Default shall continue to apply to the extent relating to the days after the occurrence of such Event of Default through and including the date of such cure or waiver of such Event of Default.
(c) Payments of Interest shall be payable by or on behalf of the Company to the Holder in cash directly from the Cash Account, except as specifically provided in this Note, monthly in arrears on the last day of each calendar month and without any further approval or direction required from the Company to the Trust Agent. An amount equal to $150,000 per annum paid quarterly in cash directly from the Cash Account and only to the extent available from interest earned on the Cash Account, shall be deducted from Interest due to the Holder and instead paid to the Collateral Agent for services performed herein. Should the cash available in the Cash Account be insufficient to pay all Interest when due, interest shall continue to accrue on the Note in accordance with the terms hereof and be payable by or on behalf of the Company to the Holder in cash directly from the Cash Account at such time the Cash Account contains sufficient cash to pay any such Interest.
3. CONVERSION OF NOTES. At any time after the Issuance Date, this Note shall be convertible into validly issued, fully paid and non-assessable Ordinary Shares, on the terms and conditions set forth in this Section 3.
(a) Conversion Right. Subject to the provisions of Section 3(d), at any time or times on or after the Issuance Date (the “Conversion Eligibility Date”), the Holder shall be entitled to convert any portion of the outstanding and unpaid Conversion Amount (as defined below) into validly issued, fully paid and non-assessable Ordinary Shares in accordance with Section 3(c), at the Conversion Rate (as defined below), and simultaneous therewith, the applicable Commitment Shares. The Company shall not issue any fraction of an Ordinary Share upon any conversion. If the issuance would result in the issuance of a fraction of an Ordinary Share, the Company shall round such fraction of an Ordinary Share up to the nearest whole share. The Company shall pay any and all transfer, stamp, issuance and similar taxes, costs and expenses (including, without limitation, fees and expenses of the Transfer Agent (as defined below)) that may be payable with respect to the issuance and delivery of Ordinary Shares upon conversion of any Conversion Amount.
(b) Conversion Rate. The number of Ordinary Shares issuable upon conversion of any Conversion Amount pursuant to Section 3(a) shall be determined by dividing (x) such Conversion Amount by (ii) the Conversion Price (the “Conversion Rate”).
(i) “Conversion Amount” means the sum of (x) the portion of the Principal elected to be converted, redeemed or otherwise with respect to which this determination is being made and (y) all accrued and unpaid Interest with respect to such portion of the Principal amount and accrued and unpaid Late Charges with respect to such portion of the Principal amount and such Interest, if any.
(ii) “Conversion Price” means, as of any Conversion Date or other date of determination, an amount equal to $3.00, subject to adjustment as provided herein, including without limitation, pursuant to Section 3(b)(iii) below. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, the Conversion Price may (i) only decrease and (ii) any such decrease shall remain in effect for all future purchases of Additional Notes.
(iii) Adjustment of Conversion Price upon Issuance of Common Stock: If and whenever on or after the Initial Closing Date until the first date on which no Notes are outstanding and no rights of any Buyer to purchase Additional Notes are outstanding, the Company issues or sells, or is deemed to have issued or sold, any Ordinary Shares or other instruments convertible into Ordinary Shares at an Effective Issuance Price Per Ordinary Share (as defined below) less than the then the Conversion Price, other than Ordinary Shares issued in connection with (i) the Company’s long-term incentive plan as approved by the independent directors on the Company’s board of directors (or a duly constituted committee of the board of directors of the Company comprised of a majority of independent directors of the Company), (ii) consideration payable for strategic acquisitions with unaffiliated third parties on arms’ length terms, or (iii) any warrants or other convertible securities outstanding as of the date hereof, the terms of which have not been modified or amended following the date hereof (each such issue, sale, or deemed issuance or sale, a “Dilutive Issuance”), then immediately after such Dilutive Issuance, the Conversion Price then in effect shall be reduced to an amount equal to the Effective Issuance Price Per Ordinary Share and the Company shall be required to provide the Holder notification within two (2) Business Days following such Dilutive Issuance. For all purposes of calculating the foregoing, including without limitation, the Effective Issuance Price Per Ordinary Share and the Conversion Price:
“Effective Issuance Price Per Ordinary Share” means a price per share equal to the lesser of:
(1)the sum of (A) the aggregate consideration paid for the issuance or sale of all Convertible Securities, Ordinary Shares, or other instruments in the transaction plus the aggregate exercise or conversion price payable upon the exercise of all Options to subscribe for or purchase shares divided by (B) the sum of (i) the aggregate number of Ordinary Shares and Ordinary Shares underlying such securities that have been sold or issued or that may become issuable in the transaction plus (ii) the number of additional Ordinary Shares or Ordinary Shares that become issuable in connection with the transaction in which such Convertible Securities or Ordinary Shares or other instruments are sold.
(2)If the Company in any manner grants or sells any Option or Convertible Securities, the lowest price per share for which one Ordinary Share may be purchased. To the extent the Company subsequently decreases the conversion price or price at which an Ordinary Share may be purchased of an existing Option or Convertible Securities, the lowest price per share for which one Ordinary Share may be purchased subsequent to such modification.
(3)If any Ordinary Shares, Options or Convertible Securities are issued or sold for a consideration other than cash, the amount of such consideration received by the Company will be the fair value of such consideration, except where such consideration consists of publicly traded securities, in which case the amount of
consideration received by the Company will be the VWAP of such publicly traded securities on the date of receipt. If any Ordinary Shares, Options or Convertible Securities are issued to the owners of the non-surviving entity in connection with any merger in which the Company is the surviving entity, the amount of consideration therefor will be deemed to be the fair value of such portion of the net assets and business of the non-surviving entity as is attributable to such Ordinary Shares, Options or Convertible Securities, as the case may be. The fair value of any consideration other than cash or publicly traded securities will be determined jointly in good faith by the Company and the Required Holders. If such parties are unable to reach agreement within ten (10) days after the occurrence of an event requiring valuation (the “Valuation Event”), the fair value of such consideration will be determined within five (5) Business Days after the tenth (10th) day following the Valuation Event by an independent, reputable appraiser jointly selected by the Company and the Required Holders. The determination of such appraiser shall be final and binding upon all parties absent manifest error and the fees and expenses of such appraiser shall be borne by the Company.
(4)In case any Option is issued in connection with the issue or sale of other securities of the Company, together comprising one integrated transaction, (x) the Options will be deemed to have been issued for the Option Value of such Options and (y) the other securities issued or sold in such integrated transaction shall be deemed to have been issued or sold for the difference of (I) the aggregate consideration received by the Company less any consideration paid or payable by the Company pursuant to the terms of such other securities of the Company, less (II) the Option Value.
(5)In the case of a Variable Rate Transaction, the lowest price permitted, whether issued or not, under the Variable Rate Transaction. “Variable Rate Transaction” means a transaction in which the Company or any Subsidiary (i) issues or sells any Convertible Securities either (A) at a conversion, exercise or exchange rate or other price that is based upon and/or varies with the trading prices of or quotations for the Ordinary Shares at any time after the initial issuance of such Convertible Securities, or (B) with a conversion, exercise or exchange price that is subject to being reset at some future date after the initial issuance of such Convertible Securities or upon the occurrence of specified or contingent events directly or indirectly related to the business of the Company or the market for the Ordinary Shares, other than pursuant to a customary “weighted average” anti-dilution provision or (ii) enters into any agreement whereby the Company or any Subsidiary may sell securities at a future determined price (other than standard and customary “preemptive” or “participation” rights)
(c) Mechanics of Conversion.
(i) Optional Conversion. To convert any Conversion Amount into Ordinary Shares on any date following the Issuance Date (a “Conversion Date”), the Holder shall deliver (whether via electronic mail or otherwise), for receipt on or prior to 11:59 p.m., New York time, on such date, a copy of an executed notice of conversion in the form attached hereto as Exhibit I (a “Conversion Notice”) to the Company. If required by Section 3(c)(iii), within two (2) Trading Days following a conversion of this Note as aforesaid, the Holder shall surrender this Note to a nationally recognized overnight delivery service for delivery to the Company and Transfer Agent (or an indemnification undertaking with respect to this Note in the case of its loss, theft or destruction as contemplated by Section 18(b)). On or before the first (1st) Trading Day following the date of receipt of a Conversion Notice, the Company shall transmit by electronic mail an acknowledgment of confirmation of receipt of such Conversion Notice and representation as to whether such Ordinary Shares may then be resold pursuant to Rule 144 or an effective and available registration statement, in the form attached hereto as Exhibit II, to the Holder and the Company’s transfer agent (the “Transfer Agent”) which confirmation shall constitute an instruction to the Transfer Agent to process such Conversion Notice in accordance with the terms herein. On or
before the second (2nd) Trading Day following the date on which the Company has received a Conversion Notice (or such earlier date as required pursuant to the 1934 Act or other applicable law, rule or regulation for the settlement of a trade initiated on the applicable Conversion Date of such Ordinary Shares issuable pursuant to such Conversion Notice) (a “Share Delivery Deadline”), the Company shall (1) provided that the Transfer Agent is participating in The Depository Trust Company’s (“DTC”) Fast Automated Securities Transfer Program (“FAST”), credit such aggregate number of Ordinary Shares to which the Holder shall be entitled pursuant to such conversion to the Holder’s or its designee’s balance account with DTC through its Deposit/Withdrawal at Custodian system or (2) if the Transfer Agent is not participating in FAST, upon the request of the Holder, issue and deliver (via reputable overnight courier) to the address as specified in the Conversion Notice, a certificate, registered in the name of the Holder or its designee, for the number of Ordinary Shares to which the Holder shall be entitled pursuant to such conversion or to GTU Ops Inc in the event that the Conversion Shares are not registered at that time. If this Note is physically surrendered for conversion pursuant to Section 3(c)(iii) and the outstanding Principal of this Note is greater than the Principal portion of the Conversion Amount being converted, then the Company shall as soon as practicable and in no event later than five (5) Business Days after receipt of this Note and at its own expense, issue and deliver to the Holder (or its designee) a new Note (in accordance with Section 18(d)) representing the outstanding Principal not converted. The Person or Persons entitled to receive the Ordinary Shares issuable upon a conversion of this Note shall be treated for all purposes as the record holder or holders of such Ordinary Shares on the applicable Conversion Date. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Note or the Registration Rights Agreement, after the effective date of the Registration Statement and prior to the Holder’s receipt of the notice of a Grace Period (as defined in the Registration Rights Agreement), the Company shall cause the Transfer Agent to deliver unlegended Ordinary Shares to the Holder (or its designee) in connection with any sale of Registrable Securities (as defined in the Registration Rights Agreement), and delivered a copy of the prospectus included as part of the particular Registration Statement to the extent applicable.
(ii) Company’s Failure to Timely Deliver; Buy-In. If the Company fails for any reason or for no reason, to issue and deliver (or cause to be delivered) to Holder (or its designee) prior to the applicable Share Delivery Deadline, either (I) if the Transfer Agent is not participating in FAST, to issue and deliver to the Holder (or its designee) a certificate for the number of Ordinary Shares without any restrictive legend to which the Holder (or its designee) is entitled and register such Ordinary Shares on the Company’s share register or, if the Transfer Agent is participating in FAST, to credit the balance account of the Holder or the Holder’s designee with DTC for such number of Ordinary Shares to which the Holder is entitled (without any restrictive legend) upon the Holder’s conversion of this Note (as the case may be), or a certificate, registered in the name of the Holder or its designee, for the number of Ordinary Shares to which the Holder shall be entitled pursuant to such conversion or to GTU Ops Inc in the event that the Conversion Shares are not registered at that time, or (II) if the Registration Statement covering the resale of the Ordinary Shares that are the subject of the Conversion Notice (the “Unavailable Conversion Shares”) is not available for the resale of such Unavailable Conversion Shares and the Company fails to promptly, but in no event later than as required pursuant to the Registration Rights Agreement so notify the Holder and deliver the Ordinary Shares electronically without any restrictive legend by crediting such aggregate number of Ordinary Shares to which the Holder (or its designee) is entitled pursuant to such conversion to the Holder’s or its designee’s balance account with DTC through its Deposit/Withdrawal At Custodian system (the event described in the immediately foregoing clause (II) is hereinafter referred as a “Notice Failure” and together with the event described in clause (I) above, a “Conversion Failure”), then, in addition to all other remedies available to the Holder, (1) the Company shall pay in cash to the Holder on each day after such Share Delivery Deadline that the issuance of such Ordinary Shares is not timely effected an amount equal to one percent (1%) of the product of (A) the sum of the number of Ordinary Shares not issued to the Holder on or prior to the applicable Share Delivery Deadline and to which the Holder is entitled, multiplied by (B) any trading price of the Ordinary Shares selected by the Holder in writing as in effect at any time during the period beginning on the applicable Conversion Date and ending on the applicable Share Delivery Deadline and (2) the Holder, upon written notice to the Company, may void its Conversion Notice with respect to, and retain or have returned (as the case may be) any portion of this Note that has not been converted pursuant to such Conversion Notice, provided that the voiding of a Conversion 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 3(c)(ii) or otherwise. In addition to the foregoing, if on or prior to the Share Delivery Deadline either (A) if the Transfer Agent is not participating in FAST, the Company shall fail to issue and deliver to the Holder (or its designee) a certificate and register such Ordinary Shares on the Company’s share register or, if the Transfer Agent is participating in FAST, the Transfer Agent shall fail to credit the balance account of the Holder or the Holder’s designee with DTC for the number of Ordinary Shares to which the Holder is entitled upon the Holder’s conversion hereunder or pursuant to the Company’s obligation pursuant to clause (II) below or (B) a Notice Failure occurs, and if on or after such Share Delivery Deadline the Holder purchases (in an open market transaction or otherwise) Ordinary Shares corresponding to all or any portion of the number of Ordinary Shares issuable upon such conversion that the Holder is entitled to receive from the Company and has not received from the Company in connection with such Conversion Failure or Notice Failure, as applicable (a “Buy-In”), then, in addition to all other remedies available to the Holder, the Company shall, within two (2) Business Days after receipt of the Holder’s request promptly honor its obligation to so issue and deliver to the Holder a certificate or certificates representing such Ordinary Shares or credit the balance account of such Holder or such Holder’s designee, as applicable, with DTC for the number of Ordinary Shares to which the Holder is entitled upon the Holder’s conversion hereunder (as the case may be) or a certificate, registered in the name of the Holder or its designee, for the number of Ordinary Shares to which the Holder shall be entitled pursuant to such conversion or to GTU Ops Inc in the event that the Conversion Shares are not registered at that time. 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 Ordinary Shares (or to electronically deliver such Ordinary Shares) upon the conversion of this Note as required pursuant to the terms hereof.
(iii) Registration; Book-Entry. The Transfer Agent shall maintain a register (the “Register”) for the recordation of the names and addresses of the holders of each Note and the principal amount of the Notes held by such holders (the “Registered Notes”). The entries in the Register shall be conclusive and binding for all purposes absent manifest error. The Company and the holders of the Notes shall treat each Person whose name is recorded in the Register as the owner of a Note for all purposes (including, without limitation, the right to receive payments of Principal and Interest hereunder) notwithstanding notice to the contrary. A Registered Note may be assigned, transferred or sold in whole or in part only by registration of such assignment or sale on the Register and approval by the Holder Representative (which approval shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed). Upon its receipt of a written request to assign, transfer or sell all or part of any Registered Note by the holder thereof and after receiving Holder Representative approval, the Transfer Agent shall record the information contained therein in the Register and issue one or more new Registered Notes in the same aggregate principal amount as the principal amount of the surrendered Registered Note to the designated assignee or transferee pursuant to Section 18. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Section 3(c)(iii), the Holder may assign any Note or any portion thereof to an Affiliate of the Holder or a Related Fund of the Holder without delivering a request to assign or sell the Note to the Company and the recordation of such assignment or sale in the Register (a “Related Party Assignment”); provided, that (x) the Company may continue to deal solely with such assigning or selling Holder unless and until the Holder has delivered a request to assign or sell the Note or portion thereof to the Company for recordation in the Register; (y) the failure of such assigning or selling Holder to deliver a request to assign or sell the Note or portion thereof to the Company shall not affect the legality, validity, or binding effect of such assignment or sale; and (z) such assigning or selling Holder shall, acting solely for this purpose as a non-fiduciary agent of the Company, maintain a register (the “Related Party Register”) comparable to the Register on behalf of the Company, and any such assignment or sale shall be effective upon recordation of such assignment or sale in the Related Party Register. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary set forth in this Section 3, following conversion of any portion of this Note in accordance with the terms hereof, the Holder shall not be required to physically surrender this Note to the Company unless (A) the full Conversion Amount represented by this Note is being converted (in which event this Note shall be delivered to the Company following conversion thereof as contemplated by Section 3(c)(i)) or (B) the Holder has provided the Company with prior written notice (which notice may be included in a Conversion Notice) requesting reissuance of this Note upon physical surrender of this Note. The Holder
and the Company shall maintain records showing the Principal, Interest and Late Charges converted and/or paid (as the case may be) and the dates of such conversions, and/or payments (as the case may be) or shall use such other method, reasonably satisfactory to the Holder and the Company, so as not to require physical surrender of this Note upon conversion. If the Company does not update the Register to record such Principal, Interest and Late Charges converted and/or paid (as the case may be) and the dates of such conversions, and/or payments (as the case may be) within two (2) Business Days of such occurrence, then the Register shall be automatically deemed updated to reflect such occurrence.
(iv) Pro Rata Conversion; Disputes. In the event that the Company receives a Conversion Notice from more than one holder of Notes for the same Conversion Date and the Company can convert some, but not all, of such portions of the Notes submitted for conversion, the Company, subject to Section 3(d), shall convert from each holder of Notes electing to have Notes converted on such date a pro rata amount of such holder’s portion of its Notes submitted for conversion based on the principal amount of Notes submitted for conversion on such date by such holder relative to the aggregate principal amount of all Notes submitted for conversion on such date. In the event of a dispute as to the number of Ordinary Shares issuable to the Holder in connection with a conversion of this Note, the Company shall issue to the Holder the number of Ordinary Shares not in dispute.
(d) Limitations on Conversions. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, the Company shall not effect the conversion of any portion of this Note, and the Holder shall not have the right to convert any portion of this Note pursuant to the terms and conditions of this Note 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 4.9% (the “Maximum Percentage”) of the Ordinary Shares outstanding immediately after giving effect to such conversion. For purposes of the foregoing sentence, the aggregate number of Ordinary Shares beneficially owned by the Holder and the other Attribution Parties shall include the number of Ordinary Shares held by the Holder and all other Attribution Parties plus the number of Ordinary Shares issuable upon conversion of this Note with respect to which the determination of such sentence is being made, but shall exclude Ordinary Shares which would be issuable upon (A) conversion of the remaining, nonconverted portion of this Note beneficially owned by the Holder or any of the other Attribution Parties and (B) exercise or conversion of the unexercised or nonconverted 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 3(d). For purposes of this Section 3(d), beneficial ownership shall be calculated in accordance with Section 13(d) of the 1934 Act. For purposes of determining the number of outstanding Ordinary Shares the Holder may acquire upon the conversion of this Note without exceeding the Maximum Percentage, the Holder may rely on the number of outstanding Ordinary Shares as reflected in (x) the Company’s most recent Annual Report on Form 20-F, Report on Form 6-K or other public filing with 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, if any, setting forth the number of Ordinary Shares outstanding (the “Reported Outstanding Share Number”). If the Company receives a Conversion Notice from the Holder at a time when the actual number of outstanding Ordinary Shares is less than the Reported Outstanding Share Number, the Company shall notify the Holder in writing of the number of Ordinary Shares then outstanding and, to the extent that such Conversion Notice would otherwise cause the Holder’s beneficial ownership, as determined pursuant to this Section 3(d), to exceed the Maximum Percentage, the Holder must notify the Company of a reduced number of Ordinary Shares to be purchased pursuant to such Conversion Notice. 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 Ordinary Shares then outstanding. In any case, the number of outstanding Ordinary Shares shall be determined after giving effect to the conversion or exercise of securities of the Company, including this Note, 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 Ordinary Shares to the Holder upon conversion of this Note 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 Ordinary Shares (as determined under Section 13(d) of the 1934 Act), any conversion request with respect to the Excess Shares will be automatically void and cancelled, and therefore the number of shares by which the Holder’s and the other Attribution Parties’ aggregate beneficial ownership would have exceeded 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 of Notes that is not an Attribution Party of the Holder. For purposes of clarity, the Ordinary Shares issuable pursuant to the terms of this Note 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 convert this Note pursuant to this paragraph shall have any effect on the applicability of the provisions of this paragraph with respect to any subsequent determination of convertibility. The provisions of this paragraph shall be construed and implemented in a manner otherwise than in strict conformity with the terms of this Section 3(d) 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 3(d) 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 Note.
4. RIGHTS UPON EVENT OF DEFAULT.
(a) Event of Default. Subject to the last sentence of this Section 4(a), each of the following events shall constitute an “Event of Default”:
(i)(a) the failure of the applicable Registration Statement to be filed with the SEC on or prior to the date that is five (5) Trading Days after the applicable Filing Deadline (as defined in the Registration Rights Agreement) or (b) the failure of the applicable Registration Statement to be declared effective by the SEC on or prior to the date that is five (5) Trading Days after the applicable Effectiveness Deadline (as defined in the Registration Rights Agreement);
(ii) at any time while the applicable Registration Statement is required to be maintained effective pursuant to the terms of the Registration Rights Agreement, the effectiveness of the applicable Registration Statement lapses for any reason (including, without limitation, the issuance of a stop order) or such Registration Statement (or the prospectus contained therein) is unavailable to any holder of Registrable Securities (as defined in the Registration Rights Agreement) for sale of all of such holder’s Registrable Securities in accordance with the terms of the Registration Rights Agreement, and such lapse or unavailability continues for a period of twenty (20) consecutive days or for more than an aggregate of forty (40) days in any 365-day period (excluding days during an Allowable Grace Period (as defined in the Registration Rights Agreement));
(iii) the suspension from trading or the failure of the Ordinary Shares to be trading or listed (as applicable) on an Eligible Market for a period of five (5) consecutive Trading Days;
(iv) the Company’s (A) failure to cure a Conversion Failure by delivery of the required number of Ordinary Shares within five (5) Trading Days after the applicable Conversion Date or (B) written notice to any holder of the Notes, including, without limitation, by way of public announcement or through any of its agents and such notice of such Company’s agent is not withdrawn by the Company within one (1) Trading Day, at any time, of its intention not to comply, as required, with a request for conversion of any Notes into Ordinary Shares that is requested in accordance with the provisions of the Notes, other than pursuant to Section 3(d);

(b) Notice of an Event of Default; Redemption Right. Within two (2) Business Days of the Company becoming actually aware of an Event of Default or facts and circumstances that should have made the Company aware of an Event of Default with respect to this Note or any Additional Note, the Company shall deliver written notice thereof via electronic mail and overnight courier (with next day delivery specified) (an “Event of Default Notice”) to the Holder and to the Collateral Agent. At any time after the earlier of the Holder’s receipt of an Event of Default Notice and the Holder becoming aware of an Event of Default and ending (such ending date, the “Event of Default Right Expiration Date”) on the twentieth (20th) Trading Day after the later of (x) the date such Event of Default is cured and (y) the Holder’s receipt of an Event of Default Notice that includes (I) a reasonable description of the applicable Event of Default, (II) a certification as to whether, in the opinion of the Company, such Event of Default is capable of being cured and, if applicable, a reasonable description of any existing plans of the Company to cure such Event of Default and (III) a certification as to the date the Event of Default occurred and, if cured on or prior to the date of such Event of Default Notice, the applicable Event of Default Right Expiration Date (as defined herein). At any time after the earlier of the Holder’s receipt of an Event of Default Notice and the Holder becoming aware of any default under, redemption of or acceleration prior to maturity of at least an aggregate of $2,500,000 of Indebtedness of the Company, any Guarantor or any Subsidiary, with respect to any Additional Notes, the Holder may require the Company to redeem (regardless of whether such Event of Default has been cured on or prior to the Event of Default Right Expiration Date) all or any portion of this Note by delivering written notice thereof (the “Event of Default Redemption Notice” and the date the Holder delivers such notice to the Company, the “Event of Default Redemption Notice Date”) to the Company, which Event of Default Redemption Notice shall indicate the portion of this Note the Holder is electing to redeem. Each portion of this Note subject to redemption by the Company pursuant to this Section 4(b) shall be redeemed by the
Company at a price equal to the product of (A) the Conversion Amount to be redeemed multiplied by (B) the Event of Default Redemption Factor plus, in the case of a Major Event of Default, the Option Value of the conversion feature of the Note calculated on the date preceding such Event of Default (the “Event of Default Redemption Price”); provided, however, that for the benefit of other Holders, each Holder may only be entitled to its pro-rata share (determined by the percentage of the principal amount of all Notes outstanding secured by the Cash Account held by the Holder) of the Cash Account and Bitcoin Escrow Account respectively. Redemptions required by this Section 4(b) shall be made in accordance with the provisions of Section 11. To the extent redemptions required by this Section 4(b) are deemed or determined by a court of competent jurisdiction to be prepayments of this Note by the Company, such redemptions shall be deemed to be voluntary prepayments. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Section 4, but subject to Section 3(d), until the Event of Default Redemption Price (together with any Late Charges thereon) is paid in full, the Conversion Amount submitted for redemption under this Section 4(b) (together with any Late Charges thereon) may be converted, in whole or in part, by the Holder into Ordinary Shares pursuant to the terms of this Note. In the event of the Company’s redemption of any portion of this Note under this Section 4(b), the Holder’s damages would be uncertain and difficult to estimate because of the parties’ inability to predict future interest rates and the uncertainty of the availability of a suitable substitute investment opportunity for the Holder. Accordingly, any redemption factor due under this Section 4(b) is intended by the parties to be, and shall be deemed, a reasonable estimate of the Holder’s actual loss of its investment opportunity and not as a penalty. Any redemption upon an Event of Default shall not constitute an election of remedies by the Holder, and all other rights and remedies of the Holder shall be preserved. The rights of the Holder herein shall be in addition to, and not in limitation of, any rights the Holder, or the Collateral Agent on the Holder’s behalf, shall have under the Pledge Agreement or any of the other Security Documents.
(c) Mandatory Redemption upon Bankruptcy Event of Default. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, and notwithstanding any conversion that is then required or in process, upon any of the events in Sections 4(a)(ix), 4(a)(x) and 4(a)(xi) (a “Bankruptcy Event of Default”), whether occurring prior to or following the Maturity Date, the Company shall immediately pay to the Holder an amount in cash representing (i) all outstanding Principal, accrued and unpaid Interest and accrued and unpaid Late Charges on such Principal and Interest, multiplied by (ii) the Event of Default Redemption Factor, in addition to any and all other amounts due hereunder, without the requirement for any notice or demand or other action by the Holder or any other person or entity, provided that the Holder may, in its sole discretion, waive such right to receive payment upon a Bankruptcy Event of Default, in whole or in part, and any such waiver shall not affect any other rights of the Holder hereunder, including any other rights in respect of such Bankruptcy Event of Default, any right to conversion, and any right to payment of the Event of Default Redemption Price or any other Redemption Price, as applicable.
5. RIGHTS UPON FUNDAMENTAL TRANSACTION.
(a) Assumption. 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 Note and the other Transaction Documents in accordance with the provisions of this Section 5(a) pursuant to written agreements in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to the Holder and approved by the Holder (such approval not to be unreasonably withheld or delayed) prior to such Fundamental Transaction, including agreements to deliver to each holder of Notes in exchange for such Notes a security of the Successor Entity evidenced by a written instrument substantially similar in form and substance to the Notes, including, without limitation, having a principal amount and interest rate equal to the Principal amounts then outstanding and the Interest rates of the Notes held by such holder, having similar conversion rights as the Notes and having similar ranking and security to the Notes, and reasonably satisfactory to the Holder. Upon the occurrence of any Fundamental Transaction, the Successor Entity shall succeed to, and be substituted for (so that from and after the date of such Fundamental Transaction, the provisions of this Note and the other Transaction Documents referring to the “Company” 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 Note and the other Transaction Documents with the same effect as if such Successor Entity had been named as the Company herein. Upon consummation of a Fundamental Transaction, the Successor Entity shall deliver to the Holder confirmation that there shall be issued upon conversion or redemption of this Note at any time after the consummation of such Fundamental Transaction, in lieu of the Ordinary Shares (or other securities, cash,
assets or other property (except such items still issuable under Sections 6 and 15, which shall continue to be receivable thereafter)) issuable upon the conversion or redemption of the Notes prior to such Fundamental Transaction, such shares of the publicly traded common stock (or their equivalent) of the Successor Entity (including its Parent Entity) which the Holder would have been entitled to receive upon the happening of such Fundamental Transaction had this Note been converted immediately prior to such Fundamental Transaction (without regard to any limitations on the conversion of this Note), as adjusted in accordance with the provisions of this Note. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Holder may elect, at its sole option, by delivery of written notice to the Company to waive this Section 5(a) to permit the Fundamental Transaction without the assumption of this Note. The provisions of this Section 5 shall apply similarly and equally to successive Fundamental Transactions and shall be applied without regard to any limitations on the conversion of this Note.
(b) Notice of a Change of Control. No sooner than thirty (30) Trading Days nor later than twenty (20) Trading Days prior to the consummation of a Change of Control (the “Change of Control Date”), but not prior to the public announcement of such Change of Control, the Company shall to the extent legally permissible deliver written notice thereof via electronic mail and overnight courier to the Holder (a “Change of Control Notice”).
(c) Holder Change of Control Redemption Right. At any time during the period beginning after the Holder’s receipt of a Change of Control Notice and ending on twenty (20) Trading Days after the later of (A) the date of consummation of such Change of Control or (B) the date of receipt of such Change of Control Notice or (C) the date of the announcement of such Change of Control, the Holder may require the Company to redeem all or any portion of this Note by delivering written notice thereof (a “Holder Change of Control Redemption Notice”) to the Company, which Holder Change of Control Redemption Notice shall indicate the Conversion Amount the Holder is electing to redeem. The portion of this Note subject to redemption pursuant to this Section 5(c) shall be redeemed by the Company in cash in an amount equal to the Holder Change of Control Redemption Factor multiplied by the Conversion Amount being redeemed (the “Holder Change of Control Redemption Price”).
(d) Redemptions required by this Section 5 shall be made in accordance with the provisions of Section 11 and shall have priority to payments to shareholders in connection with such Change of Control. To the extent redemptions required by this Section 5 are deemed or determined by a court of competent jurisdiction to be prepayments of this Note by the Company, such redemptions shall be deemed to be voluntary prepayments. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Section 5, but subject to Section 3(d), until the Holder Change of Control Redemption Price (together with any Late Charges thereon) is paid in full, the Conversion Amount subject to redemption under this Section 5 (together with any Late Charges thereon) may be converted, in whole or in part, by the Holder into Ordinary Shares pursuant to Section 3. In the event of the Company’s redemption of any portion of this Note under this Section 5, the Holder’s damages would be uncertain and difficult to estimate because of the parties’ inability to predict future interest rates and the uncertainty of the availability of a suitable substitute investment opportunity for the Holder. Accordingly, any redemption factor due under this Section 5 is intended by the parties to be, and shall be deemed, a reasonable estimate of the Holder’s actual loss of its investment opportunity and not as a penalty.
6. RIGHTS UPON CORPORATE EVENTS.
(a) Corporate Event. In addition to and not in substitution for any other rights hereunder, prior to the consummation of any Fundamental Transaction pursuant to which holders of Ordinary Shares are entitled to receive securities or other assets with respect to or in exchange for Ordinary Shares (a “Corporate Event”), the Company shall make appropriate provision to ensure that the Holder will thereafter have the right to receive upon a conversion of this Note, at the Holder’s option (i) in addition to the Ordinary Shares receivable upon such conversion, such securities or other assets to which the Holder would have been entitled with respect to such Ordinary Shares had such Ordinary Shares been held by the Holder upon the consummation of such Corporate Event (without taking into account any limitations or restrictions on the convertibility of this Note) or (ii) in lieu of the Ordinary Shares otherwise receivable upon such conversion, such securities or other assets received by the holders of Ordinary Shares in connection with the consummation of such Corporate Event in such amounts as the Holder would have been entitled to receive
had this Note initially been issued with conversion rights for the form of such consideration (as opposed to Ordinary Shares) at a conversion rate for such consideration commensurate with the Conversion Rate. Provision made pursuant to the preceding sentence shall be in a form and substance satisfactory to the Holder. The provisions of this Section 6(a) shall apply similarly and equally to successive Corporate Events and shall be applied without regard to any limitations on the conversion or redemption of this Note.
(b) All Cash Fundamental Transaction. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary set forth in Section 6(a), in the event of a Fundamental Transaction that is an all cash transaction, the Company or any Successor Entity shall, concurrently with the consummation of the Fundamental Transaction, purchase this Note from the Holder by paying to the Holder an amount in cash equal to the (i) the outstanding Principal and Interest due hereunder plus (ii) an amount equal to the product of (a) the number of Conversion Shares issuable upon full conversion of this Note (without regard to any limitation on conversion of this Note) and (b) the positive difference between the cash per Ordinary Share paid in such Fundamental Transaction minus the then in effect Conversion Price.
7. RIGHTS UPON ISSUANCE OF OTHER SECURITIES.
(a) Adjustment of Conversion Price. Without limiting any provision of Section 6 or Section 15, if the Company at any time on or after the Subscription Date subdivides (by any stock split, stock dividend, stock combination, reverse stock split, recapitalization or other similar transaction) one or more classes of its outstanding Ordinary Shares into a greater number of shares, the Conversion Price in effect immediately prior to such subdivision will be proportionately reduced. Any adjustment pursuant to this Section 7(a) shall become effective immediately after the effective date of such subdivision or combination. If any event requiring an adjustment under this Section 7(a) occurs during the period that a Conversion Price is calculated hereunder, then the calculation of such Conversion Price shall be adjusted appropriately to reflect such event.
(b) Calculations. All calculations under this Section 7 shall be made by rounding to the nearest cent or the nearest 1/100th of a share, as applicable. The number of Ordinary Shares outstanding at any given time shall not include shares owned or held by or for the account of the Company, and the disposition of any such shares shall be considered an issue or sale of Ordinary Shares.
(c) Voluntary Adjustment by Company. Subject to the rules and regulations of the Principal Market, the Company may at any time during the term of this Note, with the prior written consent of the Required Holders, reduce the then current Conversion Price of each of the Notes to any amount and for any period of time deemed appropriate by the board of directors of the Company.
8. NONCIRCUMVENTION. The Company hereby covenants and agrees that the Company will not, by amendment of the Articles (as defined in the Securities Purchase Agreement), or through any reorganization, transfer of assets, consolidation, merger, scheme of arrangement, dissolution, issue or sale of securities, or any other voluntary action, avoid or seek to avoid the observance or performance of any of the terms of this Note, and will at all times in good faith carry out all of the provisions of this Note and take all action as may be required to protect the rights of the Holder of this Note. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing or any other provision of this Note or the other Transaction Documents, the Company (a) shall not increase the par value of any Ordinary Shares receivable upon conversion of this Note above the Conversion Price then in effect, and (b) 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 Ordinary Shares upon the conversion of this Note. Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, if after the Issuance Date, the Holder is not permitted to convert this Note in full for any reason (other than pursuant to restrictions set forth in Section 3(d) hereof), the Company shall use its best efforts to promptly remedy such failure, including, without limitation, obtaining such consents or approvals as necessary to permit such conversion into Ordinary Shares.
9. RESERVATION OF AUTHORIZED SHARES.
(a) Reservation. So long as any Notes remain outstanding, the Company shall at all times maintain allotment authority and a plan reserve for at least 100% of the number of Ordinary Shares as shall from time to time be necessary to effect the conversion of all of the Notes then outstanding (without regard to any
limitations on conversions and assuming such Notes remain outstanding until the Maturity Date) at the Conversion Price then in effect (the “Required Reserve Amount”).
(b) Insufficient Authorized Shares. If, notwithstanding Section 9(a), and not in limitation thereof, at any time while any of the Notes remain outstanding the Company does not have a sufficient unutilised allotment authority for such number of authorized and unreserved Ordinary Shares to satisfy its obligation to reserve for issuance upon conversion of the Notes at least a number of Ordinary Shares equal to the Required Reserve Amount (an “Authorized Share Failure”), then the Company shall immediately take all action necessary to increase the Company’s allotment authority in relation authorized Ordinary Shares to an amount sufficient to allow the Company to reserve the Required Reserve Amount for the Notes 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 ninety (90) days after the occurrence of such Authorized Share Failure, and if required by the Eligible Market or the Articles, the Company shall hold a meeting of its shareholders for the approval of an increase in the allotment authority in relation to the number of authorized Ordinary Shares. In connection with such meeting, the Company shall (i) provide each shareholder with a proxy statement and (ii) use its best efforts to solicit its shareholders’ approval of such increase in authorized Ordinary Shares and to cause its board of directors to recommend to the shareholders that they approve such proposal. In the event that the Company is prohibited from issuing Ordinary Shares pursuant to the terms of this Note due to the failure by the Company to have sufficient unissued Ordinary Shares available for allotment under the available allotment authority (such unavailable number of Ordinary Shares, the “Authorized Failure Shares”), in lieu of delivering such Authorized Failure Shares to the Holder, the Company shall pay cash in exchange for the redemption of such portion of the Conversion Amount convertible into such Authorized Failure Shares at a price equal to the sum of (i) the product of (x) such number of Authorized Failure Shares and (y) the greatest Closing Sale Price of the Ordinary Shares on any Trading Day during the period commencing on the date the Holder delivers the applicable Conversion Notice with respect to such Authorized Failure Shares to the Company and ending on the date of such issuance and payment under this Section 9(a) Nothing contained in Section 9(a) or this Section 9(b) shall limit any obligations of the Company under any provision of the Securities Purchase Agreement.
10. OPTIONAL REDEMPTION AT THE HOLDER’S ELECTION. The Holder shall have the right, in its sole and absolute discretion, to require that the Company redeem (a “Holder Optional Redemption”) all or any portion of the Conversion Amount of this Note up to an amount equal to the Holders pro-rata share of the cash held in the Cash Account on the date of the Holder Optional Redemption Notice Date. The Holder shall deliver written notice of the Holder’s election to exercise its Holder Optional Redemption (a “Holder Optional Redemption Notice” and the date the Holder delivers such notice to the Company, Trust Trustee, Holder Representative a “Holder Optional Redemption Notice Date”) to the Company which notice shall state (i) the portion of this Note that is being redeemed by the Holder, (ii) the date on which the Holder Optional Redemption shall occur, which date shall be the second (2nd) Business Day from the applicable Holder Optional Redemption Notice Date (a “Holder Optional Redemption Date”) and (iii) the wire instructions for the payment of the applicable Holder Optional Redemption Price (as defined below) to the Holder. The Company shall provide notice to all Additional Noteholders and the Holder Representative of such request. The portion of this Note subject to redemption pursuant to this Section 10 shall be redeemed by the Company in cash at a price equal to the Conversion Amount being redeemed, including, without limitation, any accrued and unpaid Interest and Late Charges, if any, on such Conversion Amount and Interest through the applicable Holder Optional Redemption Date (a “Holder Optional Redemption Price”). On the applicable Holder Optional Redemption Date, the Company shall deliver or shall cause to be delivered to the Holder the Holder Optional Redemption Price in cash from the Cash Account by wire transfer of immediately available funds pursuant to wire instructions provided by the Holder in writing to the Company. Holder Optional Redemptions made pursuant to this Section 10 shall be made in accordance with the procedures set forth in Section 11. To the extent redemptions required by this Section 10 are deemed or determined by a court of competent jurisdiction to be prepayments of the Note by the Company, such redemptions shall be deemed to be voluntary prepayments. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Section 10, but subject to Section 3(d), until the Holder Optional Redemption Price (together with any Late Charges thereon) is paid in full, the Conversion Amount submitted for redemption under this Section 10 (together with any Late Charges thereon) may be converted, in whole or in part, by the Holder into Ordinary Shares pursuant to Section 3. The parties hereto agree that in the event of the Company’s redemption of any portion of the Note under this Section 10, the Holder’s damages would be uncertain and difficult to estimate because of the parties’
inability to predict future interest rates and the uncertainty of the availability of a suitable substitute investment opportunity for the Holder.
11. REDEMPTIONS.
(a) Mechanics. The Company shall deliver the applicable Event of Default Redemption Price to the Holder in cash within five (5) Business Days after the Company’s receipt of the Holder’s Event of Default Redemption Notice (the “Event of Default Redemption Date”). If the Holder has submitted a Holder Change of Control Redemption Notice in accordance with Section 5(c), the Company shall deliver the applicable Holder Change of Control Redemption Price to the Holder in cash concurrently with the consummation of such Change of Control if such notice is received prior to the consummation of such Change of Control and otherwise within five (5) Business Days after the Company’s receipt of such notice. The Company shall deliver the Holder Optional Redemption Price to the Holder on the Holder Optional Redemption Date. Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, in connection with any redemption hereunder at a time the Holder is entitled to receive a cash payment under any of the other Transaction Documents, at the option of the Holder delivered in writing to the Company, the applicable Redemption Price hereunder shall be increased by the amount of such cash payment owed to the Holder under such other Transaction Document and, upon payment in full or conversion in accordance herewith, shall satisfy the Company’s payment obligation under such other Transaction Document. In the event of a redemption of less than all of the Conversion Amount of this Note, at the option of the Holder, the Company shall promptly cause to be issued and delivered to the Holder a new Note (in accordance with Section 18(d)) representing the outstanding Principal which has not been redeemed. In the event that the Company does not pay the applicable Redemption Price to the Holder within the time period required, at any time thereafter and until the Company pays such unpaid Redemption Price in full, the Holder shall have the option, in lieu of redemption, to require the Company to promptly return to the Holder all or any portion of this Note representing the Conversion Amount that was submitted for redemption and for which the applicable Redemption Price (together with any Late Charges thereon) has not been paid. Upon the Company’s receipt of such notice, (x) the applicable Redemption Notice shall be null and void with respect to such Conversion Amount, (y) the Company shall immediately return this Note, or issue a new Note (in accordance with Section 18(d)), to the Holder, and in each case the principal amount of this Note or such new Note (as the case may be) shall be increased by an amount equal to the difference between (1) the applicable Redemption Price (as the case may be, and as adjusted pursuant to this Section 11, if applicable) minus (2) the Principal portion of the Conversion Amount submitted for redemption. The Holder’s delivery of a notice voiding a Redemption Notice and exercise of its rights following such notice shall not affect the Company’s obligations to make any payments of Late Charges which have accrued prior to the date of such notice with respect to the Conversion Amount subject to such notice.
(b) Redemption by Other Holders. Upon the Company’s receipt of notice from any of the holders of the Additional Notes for redemption or repayment as a result of an event or occurrence substantially similar to the events or occurrences described in Section 4(b), Section 5(c) or Section 10 (each, an “Other Redemption Notice”), the Company shall immediately, but no later than one (1) Business Day of its receipt thereof, forward to the Holder by electronic mail and overnight courier a copy of such notice. If the Company receives a Redemption Notice and one or more Other Redemption Notices, during the seven (7) Business Day period beginning on and including the date which is two (2) Business Days prior to the Company’s receipt of the Holder’s applicable Redemption Notice and ending on and including the date which is two (2) Business Days after the Company’s receipt of the Holder’s applicable Redemption Notice, and the Company is unable to redeem all principal, interest and other amounts designated in such Redemption Notice and such Other Redemption Notices received during such seven (7) Business Day period, then the Company shall redeem a pro rata amount from each holder of the Notes (including the Holder) based on the principal amount of the Notes submitted for redemption pursuant to such Redemption Notice and such Other Redemption Notices received by the Company during such seven (7) Business Day period.
(c) Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, any redemption obligation of the Company that has then become due under the Notes to the Holder (each, a “Redemption Payment Obligation”), may be satisfied from the cash deposited in the Cash Account, to the extent there is cash available in the Cash Account. The Company hereby irrevocably consents to the Holder’s delivery of an instruction letter to the
Collateral Agent instructing the Collateral Agent to send a written instruction to the bank holding the Cash Account to release to the Holder (to the bank account of Holder identified to the Collateral Agent in such Holder’s instruction letter to the Collateral Agent) cash deposited in the Cash Account, in each case, in an amount not to exceed any Redemption Payment Obligation. For the avoidance of doubt, in no event shall the available cash in the Cash Account limit the Company’s Redemption Payment Obligation to the Holder under an Event of Default, in which case, the Company shall pay to the Holder any Redemption Payment Obligation.
12. VOTING RIGHTS. The Holder shall have no voting rights as the holder of this Note, except as required by law and as expressly provided in this Note.
13. COVENANTS. Until all of the Notes have been converted, redeemed or otherwise satisfied in accordance with their terms, without the prior written consent of the Required Holders:

(b) Incurrence of Indebtedness. The Company shall not, and the Company shall cause each of its Subsidiaries (including without limitation the New SPV Subsidiary) to not, and each Guarantor shall not, and each Guarantor shall cause each of its Subsidiaries to not, directly or indirectly, incur or guarantee, assume or suffer to exist any Indebtedness (other than the Indebtedness evidenced by this Note and the Additional Notes and the Indebtedness identified on Schedule 3(s) to the Securities Purchase Agreement or permit any such Indebtedness (other than the Notes and the Additional Notes) to be secured by the New SPV Subsidiary or any assets of the New SPV Subsidiary.
(c) Existence of Liens. The Company shall not, and the Company shall cause each of its Subsidiaries (including without limitation the New SPV Subsidiary) to not, and each Guarantor shall not, and each Guarantor shall cause each of its Subsidiaries (including without limitation the New SPV Subsidiary) to not, directly or indirectly, allow or suffer to exist any mortgage, lien, pledge, charge, security interest or other encumbrance upon or in any property or assets (including accounts and contract rights) (collectively, “Liens”) owned by the New SPV Subsidiary. No Liens of any type shall exist on any Collateral, any Trust Property or any assets deposited in the Cash Account or any Escrow Bitcoin or any assets transferred to the Bitcoin Escrow Account.
(d) Restriction on Transfer of Assets. The Company shall not, and the Company shall cause the New SPV Subsidiary to not, directly or indirectly, sell, lease, license, assign, transfer, spin-off, split-off, close, convey or otherwise dispose of any assets or rights of the New SPV Subsidiary owned or hereafter acquired whether in a single transaction or a series of related transactions.
(e) Change in Nature of Business. The Company shall cause the New SPV Subsidiary to not, directly or indirectly, engage in any material line of business substantially different from those lines of business conducted by it on the Subscription Date or any business substantially related or incidental thereto.

The Company shall cause the New SPV Subsidiary to maintain and preserve, all of its properties which are necessary or useful in the proper conduct of its business in good working order and condition, ordinary wear and tear excepted, and comply at all times with the provisions of all leases to which it is a party as lessee or under which it occupies property, so as to prevent any loss or forfeiture thereof or thereunder.
(h) [Reserved].
(i) Maintenance of Insurance. The Company and each of its Subsidiaries shall remain insured by insurers of generally recognized financial responsibility in the market against such losses and risks and in such amounts as management of the Company believes in good faith to be prudent and customary in the businesses in which the Company and its Subsidiaries are engaged.
(j) Transactions with Affiliates. The Company shall not, nor shall it permit any of its Subsidiaries (including without limitation the New SPV Subsidiary) to, and each Guarantor shall not, enter into, renew, extend or be a party to, any transaction or series of related transactions (including, without limitation, the purchase, sale, lease, transfer or exchange of property or assets of any kind or the rendering of services of any kind) with any Affiliate, except transactions in the ordinary course of business that are consistent with past practice and necessary or desirable for the prudent operation of its business, for fair consideration and on terms no less favorable to it or its Subsidiaries than would be obtainable in a comparable arm’s length transaction with a Person that is not an Affiliate thereof.
(k) Restricted Issuances. The Company shall not, and each Guarantor shall not, directly or indirectly, without the prior written consent of the Required Holders, issue any Notes (other than as contemplated by the Securities Purchase Agreement and the Notes) or any other securities that would cause a an Event of Default under the Notes.
(l) Independent Investigation. At the request of the Holder either (x) at any time when an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, (y) upon the occurrence of an event that with the passage of time or giving of notice would constitute an Event of Default or (z) at any time the Holder reasonably believes an Event of Default may have occurred or be continuing, the Company shall hire an independent, reputable investment bank selected by the Company and approved by the Holder to investigate as to whether any breach of this Note has occurred (the “Independent Investigator”). If the Independent Investigator determines that such breach of this Note has occurred, the Independent Investigator shall notify the Company of such breach and the Company shall deliver written notice to each holder of a Note of such breach. In connection with such investigation, the Independent Investigator may, during normal business hours, inspect all contracts, books, records, personnel, offices and other facilities and properties of the Company, the Guarantors and their respective Subsidiaries (including without limitation the New SPV Subsidiary) and, to the extent available to the Company, the Guarantors and their respective Subsidiaries (including without limitation the New SPV Subsidiary) after the Company uses its reasonable best efforts to obtain them, the records of its legal advisors and accountants (including the accountants’ work papers) and any books of account, records, reports and other papers not contractually required of the Company or the Guarantors to be confidential or secret, or subject to attorney-client or other evidentiary privilege, and the Independent Investigator may make such copies and inspections thereof as the Independent Investigator may reasonably request. The Company, the Guarantors and their respective Subsidiaries (including without limitation the New SPV Subsidiary) shall furnish the Independent Investigator with such financial and operating data and other information with respect to the business and properties of the Company, the Guarantors and their respective Subsidiaries (including without limitation the New SPV Subsidiary) as the Independent Investigator may reasonably request. The Company, the Guarantors and their respective Subsidiaries (including without limitation the New SPV Subsidiary) shall permit the Independent Investigator to discuss the affairs, finances and accounts of the Company, the Guarantors and their respective Subsidiaries (including without limitation the New SPV Subsidiary) with, and to make proposals and furnish advice with respect thereto to, the Company’s officers, directors, key employees and independent public accountants or any of them (and by this provision the Company. each Guarantor and each of their respective Subsidiaries (including without limitation the New SPV Subsidiary) authorizes said accountants to discuss with such Independent Investigator the finances and affairs of the Company, each Guarantor and any of their Subsidiaries), all at such reasonable times, upon reasonable notice, and as often as may be reasonably requested.
(m) Borrowing Base and Cash Account.
(i) The Company at all times shall maintain in the Cash Account and Bitcoin Escrow Account an aggregate amount equal to or greater than the aggregate Purchase Price (as defined in the Securities Purchase
Agreement) for all Notes issued pursuant to the Securities Purchase Agreement on a specific Closing Date (such amount, the “Borrowing Base,” and such requirement to maintain the Borrowing Base, the “Borrowing Base Requirement”) (the Notes issued pursuant to the Securities Purchase Agreement on a specific Closing Date, collectively, a “Note Tranche”) with the Borrowing Base Requirement not decreasing upon conversion, or redemption, of this Note or the Additional Notes and shall remain in place until the expiration of the Company’s obligation to issue Additional Notes; provided, that on each six (6) month anniversary of a Closing Date, to the extent that more than 50% of the Original Principal Amount of the Note Tranche issued on such Closing Date has been converted, there has been no Event of Default within that six (6) month period, and if the cash in the Cash Account relating to such Note Tranche is greater than the aggregate outstanding Principal amount of the Notes issued in such Note Tranche, (A) the Company may transfer and unencumber (with the approval of the Collateral Agent and the Required Holders) (a “Bitcoin Escrow Transfer Request”) Bitcoin from the Bitcoin Escrow Account related to such Note Tranche to the Company (at which point the Company shall own such Bitcoin free and clear of all Liens), up to an amount such that the Borrowing Base for the Notes issued in such Note Tranche shall equal not less than 120% of the aggregate Principal amount of the Notes issued in such Note Tranche and any accrued and unpaid Interest on such Notes after such Bitcoin release, with such Bitcoin in the Bitcoin Escrow Account being marked to market for valuation purposes at the time of any Bitcoin Escrow Transfer Request for determination of its satisfaction of the Company’s Borrowing Base obligations under this Section 13(m)(i) or (B) the Company may transfer and unencumber (with the approval of the Collateral Agent and the Required Holders) (a “Cash Escrow Transfer Request”) cash from the Cash Escrow Account related to such Note Tranche to the Company (at which point the Company shall own such cash free and clear of all Liens), up to an amount such that after the Cash Escrow Transfer Request the cash in the Cash Escrow Account related to such Note Tranche shall equal not less than 120% of the aggregate outstanding Principal amount of the Notes issued in such Note Tranche and any accrued and unpaid Interest on such Notes, and the Company’s Borrowing Base obligations under this Section 13(m)(i) shall be reduced by the Cash Escrow Transfer Request. For the avoidance of doubt, this adjustment of the Borrowing Base for a particular Note Tranche shall have no effect on the Borrowing Base for any other Note Tranche. For the purposes of the Borrowing Base Requirement other than in connection with a Bitcoin Escrow Transfer Request, the Bitcoin purchased with proceeds from a Cash Account Release Amount (as defined below) and held in the Bitcoin Escrow Account shall be valued at the Cash Account Release Amount and shall not be increased or decreased based on fluctuations in the market price of Bitcoin. For the avoidance of doubt, in connection with a Bitcoin Escrow Transfer Request, the Bitcoin purchased with proceeds from a Cash Account Release Amount and held in the Bitcoin Escrow Account shall be valued mark to market at the time of the applicable Bitcoin Escrow Transfer Request.
(ii) The Company shall cause the New SPV Subsidiary to at all times maintain on deposit in the Cash Account cash in an aggregate amount no less than (A) the Purchase Price paid by the initial Holder of this Note to the Company on the Closing Date, less (B) funds released from the Cash Account to purchase Bitcoin (the “Cash Account Release Amount”) ((A), and (B), are collectively referred to herein as the “Trust Property”). The Company shall cause the New SPV Subsidiary to use the entire Cash Account Release Amount to immediately and in no more than one (1) Business Day following receipt of the Cash Account Release Amount, purchase Bitcoin, and all Bitcoin purchased shall be immediately placed in the Bitcoin Escrow Account. Except in cases where Trust Property is released to pay Interest and after paying Interest remains above the Borrowing Base Requirement, the Trust Property may only be released if all of the following conditions have been met: (1) the Market Cap Condition has been satisfied as of the Cash Account Release Notice Date (as defined below), (2) the Cash Account Release Amount is less than or equal to ten percent (10%) of the lowest daily trading value of the Ordinary Shares during market hours (and explicitly excluding pre-market and post-market trades) of any of the 20 Trading Days prior to the Cash Account Release Notice Date, (3) no Equity Conditions Failure has occurred that is then continuing as of the Cash Account Release Notice Date, (4) the Cash Account Release Amount does not exceed 10% of the Original Principal Amount and the Company has not issued a Cash Account Release Notice within the thirty (30) calendar day period immediately preceding such Cash Account Release Notice Date, (5) the Cash Account Release Notice has been provided pursuant to the terms of this Note , (6) the Bitcoin Escrow Account and the Bitcoin Escrow Account Control Agreement (as defined in the Securities Purchase Agreement) have been executed and delivered and are in full force and effect, and (7) the Holders shall have received the opinion the Company’s counsel, dated no later than the initial Cash Account Release Notice Date, in the form and from the law firm approved in writing by each Buyer, which opinion will address, among other things,
customary opinions on perfection by filing and perfection by control in respect of the Bitcoin Escrow Account (the conditions set forth in clauses (1), (2), (3), (4), (5), (6) and (7) are collectively referred to herein as the “Release Conditions”). The determination of whether the Release Conditions have been satisfied shall be determined by the Required Holders. The Holder Representative may waive the Release Conditions at any time but only after obtaining the written consent of the Required Holders. The Company shall give written notice (the “Cash Account Release Notice” and the date the Holder and all the holders of the Additional Notes receive such notice is referred to as the “Cash Account Release Notice Date”) to the Holder and to the Collateral Agent of its desire to have Trust Property released from the Cash Account, certifying that the Release Conditions have been satisfied as of the Cash Account Release Notice Date and setting forth the date of such release, which date shall not be less than five (5) Business Days following the Cash Account Release Notice Date. Each Holder shall be permitted to exercise a Holder Optional Redemption in response to the Cash Account Release Notice. The Cash Account Release Notice shall not contain any material, nonpublic information with respect to the Company or subject the Holder or Collateral Agent to any duty of confidentiality. The Collateral Agent agrees, absent any issue or deficiency with or other objection to the Cash Account Release Notice, to instruct the depository bank in which the Trust Property is maintained to release the requested amounts set forth in the Cash Account Release Notice. For the avoidance of doubt, for purposes of this Section 13(m) the Equity Conditions Measurement Period shall have commenced on the thirtieth (30th) calendar day prior to the delivery of the Cash Account Release Notice and have ended on the Cash Account Release Notice Date. The Company and the Holder agree and acknowledge that as soon as all of the Notes issued in a particular Note Tranche have been converted into Ordinary Shares, redeemed, or are otherwise no longer outstanding and all obligations owing under such Notes and the related Transaction Documents have been fully and indefeasibly satisfied by the Company, the New SPV Subsidiary (i) will own all Bitcoin purchased with respect to the proceeds of the Notes issued in such Note Tranche and pursuant to the terms hereof and/or contained in the Bitcoin Escrow Account, free and clear of the Collateral Agent’s Liens and (ii) may use such Bitcoin or other remaining proceeds hereunder for any purpose it determines in its sole discretion.
14. SECURITY. This Note and the Additional Notes are secured to the extent and in the manner set forth in the Security Documents. The Security Documents relating to a Note Tranche shall be released as and to the extent referred to in section 3(a) hereof and shall be released upon the earlier of the full redemption and/or conversion of all of the Notes issued in such Note Tranche or other full and indefeasible satisfaction of the amounts due in respect of such Notes.
15. RESERVED.
16. AMENDING THE TERMS OF THIS NOTE. Except for Section 3(d), which may not be amended, modified or waived by the parties hereto, the prior written consent of the Required Holders shall be required for any amendment, modification or waiver to this Note. Any amendment, modification or waiver so approved shall be binding upon all existing and future holders of this Note and any Additional Notes; provided, however, that no such change, waiver or amendment, as applied to any of the Notes held by any particular holder of Notes, shall, without the written consent of that particular holder, (i) reduce the amount of Principal, reduce the amount of accrued and unpaid Interest, or extend the Maturity Date, of the Notes, (ii) disproportionally and adversely affect any rights under the Notes of any holder of Notes; (iii) modify any of the provisions of, or impair the right of any holder of Notes under, this Section 16; or (iv) amend the Cash Account Control Agreement (as defined in the Securities Purchase Agreement), the Bitcoin Escrow Account Control Agreement (as defined in the Securities Purchase Agreement) or the rights of the Holder under Section 10 of this Note.
17. TRANSFER. This Note may be offered, sold, assigned or transferred by the Holder without the consent of the Company but with the consent of the Holder Representative, subject only to the provisions of Section 2(g) of the Securities Purchase Agreement. Notwithstanding anything the contrary contained herein or in any Transaction Document, the Ordinary Shares issued upon conversion of this Note in accordance with the terms hereof shall be freely transferable in all respects subject only to applicable law.
18. REISSUANCE OF THIS NOTE.
(a) Transfer. If this Note is to be transferred, the Holder shall surrender this Note to the Company, whereupon the Company will forthwith issue and deliver upon the order of the Holder a new Note (in accordance with Section 18(d)), registered as the Holder may request, representing the outstanding Principal being transferred by the Holder and, if less than the entire outstanding Principal is being transferred, a new Note (in accordance with Section 18(d)) to the Holder representing the outstanding Principal not being transferred. The Holder and any assignee, by acceptance of this Note, acknowledge and agree that, by reason of the provisions of Section 3(c)(iii) following conversion or redemption of any portion of this Note, the outstanding Principal represented by this Note may be less than the Principal stated on the face of this Note.
(b) Lost, Stolen or Mutilated Note. Upon receipt by the Company of evidence reasonably satisfactory to the Company of the loss, theft, destruction or mutilation of this Note (as to which a written certification and the indemnification contemplated below shall suffice as such evidence), and, in the case of loss, theft or destruction, of any indemnification undertaking by the Holder to the Company in customary and reasonable form and, in the case of mutilation, upon surrender and cancellation of this Note, the Company shall execute and deliver to the Holder a new Note (in accordance with Section 18(d) ) representing the outstanding Principal.
(c) Note Exchangeable for Different Denominations. This Note is exchangeable, upon the surrender hereof by the Holder at the principal office of the Company, for a new Note or Notes (in accordance with Section 18(d) and in principal amounts of at least $1,000) representing in the aggregate the outstanding Principal of this Note, and each such new Note will represent such portion of such outstanding Principal as is designated by the Holder at the time of such surrender.
(d) Issuance of New Notes. Whenever the Company is required to issue a new Note pursuant to the terms of this Note, such new Note (i) shall be of like tenor with this Note, (ii) shall represent, as indicated on the face of such new Note, the Principal remaining outstanding (or in the case of a new Note being issued pursuant to Section 18(a) or Section 18(c), the Principal designated by the Holder which, when added to the principal represented by the other new Notes issued in connection with such issuance, does not exceed the Principal remaining outstanding under this Note immediately prior to such issuance of new Notes), (iii) shall have an issuance date, as indicated on the face of such new Note, which is the same as the Issuance Date of this Note, (iv) shall have the same rights and conditions as this Note, and (v) shall represent accrued and unpaid Interest and Late Charges on the Principal and Interest of this Note, from the Issuance Date.
19. REMEDIES, CHARACTERIZATIONS, OTHER OBLIGATIONS, BREACHES AND INJUNCTIVE RELIEF. The remedies provided in this Note shall be cumulative and in addition to all other remedies available under this Note and any of the other Transaction Documents at law or in equity (including a decree of specific performance and/or other injunctive relief), and nothing herein shall limit the Holder’s right to pursue actual and consequential damages for any failure by the Company to comply with the terms of this Note. No failure on the part of the Holder to exercise, and no delay in exercising, any right, power or remedy hereunder shall operate as a waiver thereof; nor shall any single or partial exercise by the Holder of any right, power or remedy preclude any other or further exercise thereof or the exercise of any other right, power or remedy. In addition, the exercise of any right or remedy of the Holder at law or equity or under this Note or any of the documents shall not be deemed to be an election of Holder’s rights or remedies under such documents or at law or equity. The Company covenants to the Holder that there shall be no characterization concerning this instrument other than as expressly provided herein. Amounts set forth or provided for herein with respect to payments, conversion and the like (and the computation thereof) shall be the amounts to be received by the Holder and shall not, except as expressly provided herein, be subject to any other obligation of the Company (or the performance thereof). 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 specific performance and/or temporary, preliminary and permanent injunctive or other equitable relief from any court of competent jurisdiction in any such case without the necessity of proving actual damages and without posting a bond or other security. The Company shall provide all information and documentation to the Holder that is requested by the Holder to enable the Holder to confirm the Company’s compliance with the terms and conditions of this Note.
20. PAYMENT OF COLLECTION, ENFORCEMENT AND OTHER COSTS. If (a) this Note is placed in the hands of an attorney for collection or enforcement or is collected or enforced through any legal proceeding or the Holder otherwise takes action to collect amounts due under this Note or to enforce the provisions of this Note or (b) there occurs any bankruptcy, reorganization, receivership of the Company or other proceedings affecting Company creditors’ rights and involving a claim under this Note, then the Company shall pay the costs incurred by the Holder for such collection, enforcement or action or in connection with such bankruptcy, reorganization, receivership or other proceeding, including, without limitation, reasonable attorneys’ fees and disbursements. The Company expressly acknowledges and agrees that no amounts due under this Note shall be affected, or limited, by the fact that the Purchase Price paid for this Note was less than the original Principal amount hereof.
21. CONSTRUCTION; HEADINGS. This Note shall be deemed to be jointly drafted by the Company and the initial Holder and shall not be construed against any such Person as the drafter hereof. The headings of this Note are for convenience of reference and shall not form part of, or affect the interpretation of, this Note. Unless the context clearly indicates otherwise, each pronoun herein shall be deemed to include the masculine, feminine, neuter, singular and plural forms thereof. The terms “including,” “includes,” “include” and words of like import shall be construed broadly as if followed by the words “without limitation.” The terms “herein,” “hereunder,” “hereof” and words of like import refer to this entire Note instead of just the provision in which they are found. Unless expressly indicated otherwise, all section references are to sections of this Note. Terms used in this Note and not otherwise defined herein, but defined in the other Transaction Documents, shall have the meanings ascribed to such terms on the Closing Date in such other Transaction Documents unless otherwise consented to in writing by the Holder.
22. FAILURE OR INDULGENCE NOT WAIVER. No failure or delay on the part of the Holder in the exercise of any power, right or privilege hereunder shall operate as a waiver thereof, nor shall any single or partial exercise of any such power, right or privilege preclude other or further exercise thereof or of any other right, power or privilege. No waiver shall be effective unless it is in writing and signed by an authorized representative of the waiving party. Notwithstanding the foregoing, nothing contained in this Section 22 shall permit any waiver of any provision of Section 3(d).
23. RESERVED.

(c) Payments. Whenever any payment of cash is to be made by the Company to any Person pursuant to this Note, unless otherwise expressly set forth herein, such payment shall be made via wire transfer of immediately available funds by providing the Company with prior written notice setting out such request and
the Holder’s wire transfer instructions.

Any amount of Principal or other amounts due under the Transaction Documents which is not paid when due (except to the extent such amount is simultaneously accruing Interest at the Default Rate hereunder) shall result in a late charge being incurred and payable by the Company in an amount equal to interest on such amount at the rate of eighteen percent (18%) per annum from the date such amount was due until the same is paid in full (“Late Charge”).
25. CANCELLATION. After all Principal, accrued Interest, Late Charges and other amounts at any time owed on this Note have been indefeasibly paid in full, this Note shall automatically be deemed canceled, shall (if an original copy shall have been delivered to the Holder) be surrendered to the Company for cancellation and shall not be reissued.
26. WAIVER OF NOTICE. To the extent permitted by law, the Company hereby irrevocably waives demand, notice, presentment, protest and all other demands and notices in connection with the delivery, acceptance, performance, default or enforcement of this Note and the Securities Purchase Agreement.
27. GOVERNING LAW. This Note shall be construed and enforced in accordance with, and all questions concerning the construction, validity, interpretation and performance of this Note 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 (other than Sections 5-1401 and 5-1402 of the New York General Obligations Law) 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. 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 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 TO, AND AGREES NOT TO REQUEST, A JURY TRIAL FOR THE ADJUDICATION OF ANY DISPUTE HEREUNDER OR IN CONNECTION WITH OR ARISING OUT OF THIS NOTE OR ANY TRANSACTION CONTEMPLATED HEREBY.
