Item 1A. Risk Factors
ITEM 1A.
RISK FACTORS
There have been no material
changes in our risk factors from those disclosed in Part I, Item 1A. Risk Factors of our Form 10-KT, except as identified below.
The obligations to the
Lender under the Note and related agreements are secured by a security interest in all of our non-foreign assets and all of the assets
of Rhove, our wholly-owned subsidiary, so if we default on those obligations, the Lender could proceed against any or all such assets.
Our obligations under the
Note and the related agreements are secured by all of our non-foreign assets and all of the assets of Rhove, our wholly-owned subsidiary,
pursuant to security agreements and intellectual security agreements executed by us and Rhove in connection with the issuance of the Note.
As such, the Lender may enforce its security interests over our non-foreign assets and the assets of Rhove that secure the repayment of
such obligations, take control of such assets and operations, force us to seek bankruptcy protection or force us to curtail or abandon
our current business plans and operations. If that were to happen, any investment in our securities could become worthless.
We are subject to certain
contractual limitations that could materially adversely affect our ability to consummate future financings.
Pursuant to the Purchase Agreement,
in connection with the issuance of the Note to the Lender, we agreed to be subject to certain restrictions on our ability to issue securities
until all of our obligations under the Note, Purchase Agreement and all other related agreements are paid and performed in full. Specifically,
we agreed, among other things, to (i) not make any Restricted Issuances (as described in “Part II – Item 5. Other Information”
of this report below) without the Lender’s prior written consent, which consent may be granted or withheld in the Lender’s
sole and absolute discretion, unless the proceeds therefrom are used to repay the Note in full; (ii) not grant any lien, security interest
or encumbrance, subject to certain exceptions, on any of our or our subsidiaries’ assets, in each case without the Lender’s
prior written consent, which consent may be granted or withheld in the Lender’s sole discretion; and (iii) not enter into any agreement
or otherwise agree to any covenant, condition, or obligation that locks up, restricts in any way or otherwise prohibits us, other than
such lock ups, restrictions or prohibitions with a term of no more than 75 days in connection with one transaction, or series of transactions,
per any 12 month period: (a) from entering into a variable rate transaction with the Lender or any of the Lender’s affiliates, or
(b) from issuing securities to the Lender or any of the Lender’s affiliates. Such restrictions could materially adversely affect
our ability to consummate future financings. Under the terms of the Purchase Agreement, if we breach or allegedly breach such restrictions,
we will be obligated to indemnify the Lender and all its officers, directors, employees, attorneys, and agents for loss or damage arising
as a result of or related to such breach or alleged breach, which could have a material adverse effect on our business, results of operations,
and financial condition.
While the Purchase Agreement
further provides that at any time during the 12-month period beginning on the date of the issuance and sale of the Note, the Lender will
have the right, but not the obligation, with our prior written consent, to reinvest up to an additional $5,000,000 in the aggregate in
the Company in one or more notes on the same terms and conditions as the Note, there can be no assurance that the Lender will exercise
such right or that we will be able to negotiate such reinvestment from the Lender on terms acceptable to us.
The Purchase Agreement also
contains a “most favored nation” provision pursuant to which, so long as the Note is outstanding, upon any issuance by us
of any debt security with any economic term or condition more favorable to the holder of such security or with a term in favor of the
holder of such security that was not similarly provided to the Lender in the transaction documents related to the Note, we agreed to notify
the Lender of such additional or more favorable economic term and such term, at the Lender’s option, shall become a part of the
transaction documents related to the Note for the benefit of the Lender. Such “most favored nation” provision may also restrict
our ability to secure future financings unless the Lender waives its rights under such provision.
If we are unable to obtain
adequate financing or financing on terms satisfactory to us, when we require it, our ability to continue to pursue our business objectives
and to respond to business opportunities, challenges, or unforeseen circumstances could be significantly limited, which could have a material
adverse effect on our business, results of operations, and financial condition.
29
If we fail to comply
with the restrictions and covenants in the Purchase Agreement or the Note, there could be an event of default under the Note, which could
result in an acceleration of payments due under the Note, the application of default interest and other consequences.
Failure to meet the restrictions,
obligations and limitations under the Purchase Agreement and the Note may result in an event of default in accordance with the terms of
the Note. Such events include, among others, our failure to pay any amount when due and payable thereunder, us becoming insolvent or declaring
bankruptcy, the occurrence of a Fundamental Transaction (as defined in the Purchase Agreement) except those that result in the Note being
paid in full, failure to observe and comply with certain covenants, obligations, conditions or agreements set forth therein, any representation,
warranty or other statement made therein or otherwise in connection with the issuance of this Note being false, incorrect, incomplete
or misleading in any material respect subject to certain cure periods, and effectuating a reverse stock split without a certain prior
written notice to the Lender, which events could result in the acceleration of obligations under the Note. Also, an event of default would,
among other things, provide the noteholder with the right to increase the outstanding balance by 10% for certain major events of default
and 5% for others, subject to certain limitations set forth in the Note. Additionally, at any time following an event of default, upon
written notice to us, interest will accrue on the outstanding balance of the Note beginning on the date the applicable event of default
occurred at an interest rate equal to the lesser of 15% per annum or the maximum rate permitted under applicable law. Such consequences
upon an event of default could materially impair our financial condition and liquidity. In addition, if the Lender accelerates the Note,
we cannot assure you that we will have sufficient assets to satisfy our obligations under the Note.
The redemption feature
of the Note may require us to make redemption payments at the request of the Lender, which redemptions may have a material adverse effect
on our cash flows, results of operations and ability to pay our debts as they come due, and we may not have the required funds to pay
such redemptions, which could result in an event of default under the Note.
From time to time, beginning
seven months after issuance, the Lender may redeem up to $545,000 of the Note per month, which amount will be due and payable in cash
within three trading days of our receipt of a redemption notice from the Lender. Further, once we have made five redemption payments in
cash, all subsequent redemption payments paid in cash will be subject to a 9% redemption premium. Such redemptions may have a material
adverse effect on our cash flows, results of operations and ability to pay our other debts as they come due. In addition, we may not have
the required funds to pay such redemptions and our failure to pay the redemptions, when due, may result in an event of default under the
Note.
