The Convertible Notes mature 24 months after issuance, bear interest at a rate of 4% per annum and are convertible into shares of the Company's common stock (the "Conversion Shares") at an initial conversion price of $0.34 per share, subject to adjustment for certain stock splits, stock combinations and dilutive share issuances. The Company may prepay the Convertible Notes (i) at any time during the first 90 days following closing at the face value of the Convertible Notes, (ii) at any time during the period from 91 to 180 days following closing at a premium of 110% of the face value of the Convertible Notes, and (iii) thereafter at 120% of the face value of the Convertible Notes.
The Convertible Notes contain a number of customary events of default. Additionally, the Convertible Notes are secured by all of the assets of the Company, including a lien on and security interest in all of the issued and outstanding equity interests of the wholly-owned subsidiaries of the Company, pursuant to a security agreement that was entered into in connection with the issuance of the Convertible Notes (the "Security Agreement").
The Warrants are exercisable at an initial exercise price of $0.75 per share for a term ending on the 5 year anniversary of the date of issuance. The exercise price of the Warrants are subject to adjustment for certain stock splits, stock combinations and dilutive share issuances.
In addition to the forgoing, until such time as there are no Convertible Notes outstanding, if the Company proposes to offer and sell any securities of the Company in a subsequent financing, Mercer may elect to surrender its Convertible Notes and Warrants for securities of the same type offered in such subsequent financing on the same terms and conditions as that subsequent financing. Subject to stated exceptions described in the Purchase Agreement, the Company is prohibited from incurring any debt, filing registration statements, entering into any variable rate transactions while the Convertible Notes are outstanding, and until the earlier of 90 days following closing of the second tranche, or 180 days following closing of the first tranche, the Company is prohibited from issuing any shares of its common stock.
