SCHEDULE 13D/A
Item 1. Security and Issuer: This Amendment relates to the Series B-1 Convertible Preferred Stock, $0.0001 par value, (“Series B-1 Stock”) of Capstone Companies, Inc., a Florida
corporation, (“CAP”). The principal executive offices of CAP are located at 431 Fairway Drive, Suite 200, Deerfield Beach, Florida 33441, located in Broward County.
Item 2. Identity and Background: (a) This Amendment is
filed by Reporting Person, being Stewart Wallach.
(b) Business address of Reporting Person is 431 Fairway Drive, Suite 200, Deerfield Beach, Florida 33441, ATTN: Aimee Brown (Gaudet),
Capstone Companies, Inc.
(c) Reporting Person is an individual. He is also a director and Chief Executive Officer of CAP and a more than10% beneficial owner
of shares of Common Stock, $0.0001 par value, (“Common Stock”) of CAP. Reporting Person has business interests and activities outside of CAP.
(d) and (e). During the last five years, the Reporting Person has not been convicted in a criminal proceeding, nor been a party to a
civil proceeding of a judicial or administrative body of competent jurisdiction, as a result of which he was or is subject to a judgment, decree or final order enjoining future violations of, o
r prohibiting or mandating activities subject to, federal
or state securities laws or finding any violation with respect to such laws.
(f) Mr. Wallach is a U.S. citizen and resident of State of Florida.
(g), (h), (i) and (j) – Not applicable.
Please see the Schedule 13D/A, Amendment No. 5, with respect to ownership of Common Stock of CAP filed by Reporting Person with the
Commission on August 2, 2011 (also referred to as the “13D/A5”).
Item 3. Source and Amount of Funds or Other Consideration: Reporting Person and Mr. Jeffrey Postal, a director of CAP, have jointly agreed to provide CAP
with a working capital credit line of a maximum of $750,000 principal amount under a Loan Agreement, dated January 4, 2021, among CAP, Mr. Postal and Reporting Person. The shares of Series B-1 Stock were issued as consideration for: (1) Reporting
Person making the loan, (2) doing so at an interest rate of One Percent (1%) simple annual interest, and (3) agreeing to principal and interests accrued thereon being payable at maturity date, Series B-1 Stock shares are also in part a loan finance
fee.
With respect to the $750,000 credit line, any money loaned by Reporting Person will come from personal funds.
Item 4. Purpose of Transaction: (a) and (b). The Series B-1 Stock are
being acquired for investment purposes only and solely for Reporting Person’s own account. The Series B-1 Stock shares are acquired as a result
of the following transaction:
3
On January 4, 2021, CAP entered into a Loan Agreement, dated January 4, 2021, (“Loan Agreement”) with Reporting
Person and Jeffrey Postal as joint lenders (the “Lenders”). Under the Loan Agreement, Lenders will make a maximum of Seven Hundred Fifty Thousand Dollars and No Cents ($750,000) (“principal”) available as a credit line to CAP for working capital
purposes. Lenders will determine between them the amount of any loan advance contributed by each of the Lenders. Any loaned principal amount bears interest at One Percent (1%) simple annual interest. Principal and accrued interest are due in a
single lump sum payment due on June 30, 2020 (“Maturity Date”). The Maturity Date is also the expiration date of the Loan Agreement, except that CAP may request a six-month extension of the Maturity Date and term of the Loan Agreement (“Extension”)
by a written request made prior to or on the Maturity Date.
On December 31, 2020, CAP’s disinterested directors concluded that the Loan Agreement and transactions therein are
in the best interests of CAP and its shareholders, especially since the Loan Agreement is the only firm commitment for lending available to CAP.
Due to the declining financial results and ongoing losses of CAP in 2020, and the lack of a new product line
generating revenues in 2020, CAP needed working capital funding to cover projected operating overhead in first half of fiscal year 2021 or until the new “smart mirror” product line produces sufficient revenues to support operating overhead. In light
of the lack of commercially reasonable third party offers of funding, whether debt or equity, available to CAP, Reporting Person and Mr. Postal, who have each provided short-term working capital loans to CAP in the past, agreed to enter into the Loan
Agreement to provide needed working capital for CAP.
The Loan Agreement provides for piggyback registration rights for any shares of Common Stock issued or acquired by
Reporting Person under the Loan Agreement (See: Item 3(c) below). The shares of Series B-1 Stock and any shares of Common Stock issued to Reporting Person under the Loan Agreement are “restricted securities” under Rule 144 of the Securities Act of
1933, as amended, and may not be sold, transferred or otherwise disposed without registration under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, or an exemption from registration.
(c) If the Maturity Date is extended for six months, then CAP will issue 500,000 shares of Common Stock to each of
the Lenders at the time of the extension. Advances under the Loan Agreement are not secured by any collateral or CAP assets, but the Loan Agreement provides that the repayment of principal amount loaned, and interest accrued thereon will have
seniority in payment over any other unsecured debts of CAP and, to the extent allowed by law, any distributions of cash or assets by CAP.
Reporting Person is not acting as a “group” with Mr. Postal with respect of the shares of Series B-1 Stock for
purposes of Section 13(d) of Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, or any regulations thereunder.
4
Except as set forth above, the Reporting Person has no present plans or proposals which relate to or would result
in: (a) The acquisition by any person of additional securities of the issuer, or the disposition of securities of the issuer; (b) An extraordinary corporate transaction, such as a merger, reorganization or liquidation, involving the issuer or any of
its subsidiaries; (c) A sale or transfer of a material amount of assets of the issuer or of any of its subsidiaries; (d) Any change in the present board of directors or management of the issuer, including any plans or proposals to change the number
or term of directors or to fill any existing vacancies on the board; (e) Any material change in the present capitalization or dividend policy of the issuer; (f) Any other material change in the issuer's business or corporate structure, including
but not limited to, if the issuer is a registered closed-end investment company, any plans or proposals to make any changes in its investment policy for which a vote is required by Section 13 of the Investment Company Act of 1940; (g) Changes in the
CAP’s charter, bylaws or instruments corresponding thereto or other actions which may impede the acquisition of control of the issuer by any person; Causing a class of securities of the issuer to be delisted from a national securities exchange or to
cease to be authorized to be quoted in an inter-dealer quotation system of a registered national securities association; (h) A class of equity securities of the issuer becoming eligible for termination of registration pursuant to Section 12(g)(4) of
the Act; or (i) Any action similar to any of those enumerated above.
The above response is qualified in that the Reporting Person is a director, officer and 10%+ shareholder of CAP
and, in those capacities, he may be asked to approve and implement corporate transactions proposed and approved by the CAP Board of Directors that may constitute a significant corporate transaction. Like many companies, CAP’s business and financial
results and condition have been significantly, adversely impacted by the Coronavirus/COVID-19 pandemic’s impact on the economy and consumer demand for discretionary consumer products (like the ones made and sold by CAP). CAP has also been adversely
affected by: (1) CAP’s main product line reaching the end of the products’ life cycle and appeal to consumers and (2) CAP’s new product line not yet being launched and generating revenues. The $750,000 credit line is part of Reporting Person’s effort
to support CAP under the current difficult business and financial environment. Due to its business and financial condition and results, CAP may consider one or more significant corporate transactions in 2021 if CAP’s business and financial
performance does not improve in 2021.
Item 5. Interest in Securities of the Issuer: (a) Reporting Person has sole voting and dispositive power over the 7,500 shares of Series B-1 Stock, which shares represent 50% of the issued and outstanding shares of Series
B-1 Stock as of January 4, 2021. Mr. Postal owns the other 50% of issued and outstanding shares of Series B-1 Stock.
(b) Series B-1 Stock shares have no voting rights – but if converted into Common Stock, then Reporting Person has
sole voting power over all shares of Common Stock. If all 7,500 shares are converted, Reporting Person would receive and own 499,950 shares of Common Stock with each share having one vote per share, and Reporting Person would have sole voting power
over the shares of Common Stock. There is no shared voting or shared dispositive over the shares of Series B-1 Stock.
Reporting Person beneficially owns 9,831,745 shares of Common Stock, which is 21.2% of the issued and outstanding
shares of Common Stock (based on 46,328,261 shares as reported in the Form 10-Q Report filed by CAP with the Commission on November 16, 2020). Reporting Person
acquired and holds the shares of Common Stock and Series B-1 Stock for investment purposes, for his own account and with no intent to distribute the shares. See Schedule 13D/A5 for information on Reporting Person’s ownership of shares of Common Stock.
(c) Item 4 above describes all transactions in CAP securities by Reporting Person in past 60 days. Reporting
Person may make open market purchases of CAP Common Stock in the future for investment purposes.
5
(d) and (e). Not Applicable.
Item 6. Contracts, Arrangements, Understandings or Relationships with respect to the Securities of Issuer.
The description required under this Item 6 is set forth in Item 4 above, which is incorporated herein by
reference. Other than as described herein, there are no contracts, arrangements, understandings, or relationships between or among the Reporting Person and any other person with respect to the securities of CAP.

Exhibit 1 Loan Agreement
NOTICE: THIS LOAN AGREEMENT PROVIDES FOR A LUMP SUM BALLOON PAYMENT OF PRINCIPAL AND ALL ACCRUED INTEREST ON THE
MATURITY DATE AND THAT OBLIGATION IMPOSES A SIGNFICIANT FINANCIAL BURDEN ON BORROWER.
LOAN AGREEMENT
This Loan Agreement (“Agreement”), dated and effective as of January 4, 2021, (the “Start Date”) is made by Capstone Companies, Inc.,
a Florida corporation, (“Borrower”) and Stewart Wallach and Jeffrey Postal, both natural persons (individually, a “Lender” and collectively, the “Lenders”). Borrower and Lenders may also be referred to individually as a “party” and collectively as
the “parties.”
Recitals
A. Lenders have agreed to jointly make a loan to Borrower on the terms and conditions set forth in this Agreement and in the other
documents evidencing and securing the loan of money as described herein (the “loan”).
B. Borrower has made a concerted effort to secure working capital financing and that effort has not produced any offers of
commercially reasonable terms and conditions for financing. Borrower has received only one offer of proposed terms and conditions of financing from a third party and the terms and conditions of the proposed financing were not commercially reasonable
(even under existing circumstances) and were extremely dilutive of Borrower shareholders in its debt-to-equity conversion provisions.
C. Borrower’s financial condition has significantly deteriorated due to COVID-19 pandemic. The Borrower has a going concern disclosure in the Form 10-Q Report filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission or “SEC” for the fiscal quarters ended March 31, 2020, June 30,
2020 and September 31, 2020. Borrower is also transitioning to a new primary product line, which new product line is not yet a revenue generating product.
D. Borrower projects it will need working capital financing for essential operational overhead in 2021.
E. Lenders are each a principal shareholder and member of management of Borrower and each of the Lenders have loaned money to the
Borrower in the past. Lenders are willing to provide working capital financing to the Borrower on the commercially reasonable and favorable terms and conditions in this Agreement.
F. Disinterested directors of the Borrower have reviewed this Agreement and its terms and conditions and determined that this
Agreement and its terms and conditions of financing are in the best interests of the Borrower and its public shareholders.
G. “Affiliate” has the meaning in 17 C.F.R. §230.405, as amended, “Business day” means a weekday that the banks in Miami, Florida are
open for regular business hours. Any capitalized term not defined below will have the meaning customarily used in commercial transactions in Broward County and Miami Dade County, Florida region that are similar to the Loan.
In consideration of the mutual covenants and agreements below and other good consideration, the sufficiency of the consideration
which is hereby acknowledged, the parties covenant and agree as follows:
7
Section 1. LOAN. (a)(i) Subject to the terms and conditions of this Agreement, and commencing on the Start Date and ending on the
expiration date of this Agreement (“Expiration Date” - as defined in Section 2 below), Lenders agree to jointly loan to Borrower a maximum principal amount of SEVEN HUNDRED FIFTY THOUSAND AND NO CENTS ($750,000.00) in cash (“Borrower Base”) from
time to time and to do so in advances of cash in tranches as reasonably requested in writing by Borrower (“Draw Request”). Each Draw Request may be in any amount specified by Borrower in Draw Request, but a Draw Request may not request a loan amount
that would cause the aggregate unpaid principal amount to exceed the Borrower Base. An advance of money in response into a Draw Request by Lenders to Borrower is referred to as an “Advance.” “Debt obligation” means a valid corporate debt of the
Borrower, regardless of nature of debt and whether memorialized in writing or not. Each Advance must be at least for Twenty-Five Thousand Dollars and No Cents ($25,000.00) in amount loaned.
(ii) Renewal. (A) Borrower may request and receive Advances under this Agreement for the period from the Start Date until June 30,
2021 (Initial Period”) in return for timely repayment of each Advance and for the consideration in Section 8(a)(i) below. (B) The Borrower may extend the Initial Period for requesting and receiving Advances for an additional six (6) consecutive
months and receive Advances under the same terms and conditions of the Initial Period, by providing written notice of the election to extend the Initial Period for six (6) consecutive months to Lenders prior to or on the expiration of the Initial
Period and by issuing the consideration set forth in Section 8(a)(ii) below as of or prior to the expiration of the Initial Period.
(b) Payment. (i) Borrower may borrow and reborrow under this Agreement up to the Borrower Base and prepay wholly or partially the
unpaid principal amount of any Advance at any time and do so without pre-pay penalty or charge. Unpaid principal amount and all accrued “Interest” (as defined below) thereon loaned and outstanding under this Agreement by Lenders to Borrower shall be
paid in full by Borrower to Lenders, and is due and payable in full, in a single lump sum balloon payment on the expiration of the Initial Period or, if the Initial Period is extended in accordance with this Agreement, then the expiration of the
extended Initial Period, being December 31, 2021 (the due date for all unpaid principal and Interest accrued there on being the “Maturity Date”). Borrower may also unilaterally extend the Maturity Date for sixty (60) consecutive calendar days upon a
written notice delivered to Lenders on or prior to the Maturity Date. Deposit of Advances and Borrower payments on Advances and other sums owed hereunder will be paid in accordance with Section 1(d) below. Any reference to payment of an Advance
will include the unpaid principal, Interest accrued thereon, and all other sums owed to Lenders under the Advance and this Agreement.
(ii) Mandatory Loan Repayments. If at any time the aggregate principal amount of the outstanding Advances shall exceed the Borrowing
Base, Borrower, immediately upon written or oral notice from either Lender, shall pay to Lenders an amount equal to the amount by which the outstanding aggregate principal balance of the Advances exceeds the Borrowing Base. On the Maturity Date, the
Borrower shall pay to Lenders in full the aggregate unpaid principal amount then outstanding and all accrued unpaid Interest thereon, together with all other applicable fees, costs, and charges, if any, not yet paid and due hereunder.
(c) Interest. Interest shall accrue on the unpaid balance of all Advances at a simple annual interest rate of ONE PERCENT (1%)
(“Interest”) based on a 360-day year. Accrued and unpaid Interest on principal will be due and payable in in a single lump sum and in full on the Maturity Date.
8
(d) Accounts. (i) Principal amount loaned under each Advance will be loaned directly to Borrower by check or checks, or
alternatively and as elected by Lenders in their sole discretion, deposited in the Borrower bank account identified in Exhibit One hereto (“Borrower Account”) by wire transfer or ACH/electronic payment transfer or direct deposit. All loan payments
under this Agreement will be made only in name of Borrower and only to the Borrower at its principal executive offices or into Borrower Account. Lenders in their sole discretion shall determine the contribution of each of the Lenders for funding
each Advance or other loan hereunder. Lenders will fund each Advance that complies with this Agreement and will do so within three (3) business days after receipt of the request from Borrower for an Advance.
(ii) For payments of Advances or other sums due under this Agreement, Borrower will repay each Advance or other sum as follows:
(A) If not instructed otherwise by the Lenders, Borrower will repay an Advance by dividing the total amount owed equally (50%/50%)
between the Lenders’ bank accounts identified in Exhibit One hereto (“Lenders Accounts”), or, alternatively,
(B) Prior to the repayment of an Advance, Lenders may instruct the Borrower to divide any repayment of an Advance as stated in an
emailed or written instruction from the Lenders rather doing so equally (50%/50%) between the Lenders Accounts. Borrower may rely on the commercially reasonable instructions of either of the Lenders in dividing any repayment of an Advance or other
sum owed under this Agreement between the Lenders’ Accounts.
(iii) Lenders each agree that Borrower is enti
tled to repay any Advance by dividing the repayment equally (50%/50%) between the
Lenders Accounts in the absence of timely delivered instruction to the contrary by the Lenders and the Borrower will have no liability to the Lenders, jointly or severally, for any claim or dispute between the Lenders about the division of any
received payment of an Advance or other received sum owed hereunder.
(e) Promissory Note. Borrower will execute and deliver to each or both Lenders, as required by an Advance and as instructed by
Lenders, a completed and signed promissory note or promissory notes (if both Lenders fund an Advance) (in the form set forth in Exhibit Two hereto) (“Note”). Each Note will evidence the principal amount and Interest accruing thereon for each
Advance. Borrower will deliver the completed and signed Note or Notes within three (3) business days after receipt of the amount loaned under the Advance in good funds on deposit in the Borrower Account or to Borrower. With payment in full of the
principal amount and all accrued Interest thereon of any Advance (“Pay Off”), Lenders will mark the underlying Note or Notes as “paid in full” and deliver that Note or Notes to the Borrower within ten (10) days after the Pay Off.
(f) Corporate Resolution. Borrower has provided or will provide Lenders with a certified copy of a resolution properly adopted by
Borrower’s Board of Directors, certified by Borrower’s corporate secretary, and approving this Agreement. Under the resolution, Borrower’s Board of Directors have authorized one or more designated officers to execute this Agreement and the Notes and
to consummate the borrowings and other transactions as contemplated under this Agreement, and to consent to the remedies following any default by Borrower as provided in this Agreement. The resolution is attached hereto as Attachment One.
9
Section 2. TERM. This Agreement shall be effective as of 12:01 p.m., local Miami, Florida time, on the Start Date, and shall continue
in full force and effect until 6:00 p.m., local Miami, Florida time, on the Maturity Date (the date of expiration of this Agreement is the “Expiration Date”). “Term” and “term of this Agreement” means the duration of this Agreement. Expiration or
termination of this Agreement shall not eliminate the obligation of Borrower to pay unpaid principal and Interest accrued thereon, or any other sums owed hereunder, in accordance with the terms and conditions of this Agreement. The obligation of the
Lenders to receive and make Advances under this Agreement shall end on the Initial Period, or if the Borrower timely complies with the requirements for the six-month extension of the Initial Period, then on the expiration of the six-month extended
Initial Period, being December 31, 2021. The obligation of the Borrower to repay all principal and Interest accrued thereon and any other sums owed hereunder to Lenders will survive the termination or expiration of this Agreement until and for as
long as any principal, Interest accrued thereon, and other sums owed hereunder remains unpaid.
Section 3. ADVANCE AUTHORITY. The following person or persons are authorized to request Advances and authorize payments under this
Agreement until Lenders receive from Borrower, at Lenders’ address shown in Notices section below, written notice of revocation of such authority: James McClinton, Chief Financial Officer, Capstone Companies, Inc.
Section 4. UNSECURED LOAN; SENORITY AMONG UNSECURED DEBT OBLIGATIONS. (a) Unsecured Loan. The loan of money under this Agreement is
not secured by any collateral or secured interest, but the debt obligations under this Agreement, being the Indebtedness, shall have seniority in right of payment over any other debt obligations of the Borrower that are not secured by collateral and
not granted seniority over the debt obligations owed under this Agreement and Notes by applicable laws or a court order. Borrower will not enter into any agreement, obligation, commitment or undertaking granting any other unsecured debt or other
obligation with seniority or priority of any kind whatsoever in right of payment to the Indebtedness owed under this Agreement. In any liquidation, dissolution or bankruptcy proceeding involving the Borrower or any of its wholly-owned subsidiaries,
and except as otherwise mandated under applicable laws or court order, the Lenders will be paid all unpaid principal amount, accrued and unpaid Interest thereon and all other sums owed the Lenders under this Agreement or any Note prior to any
distributions to shareholders or equity holders of the company being liquidated, dissolved, or subject to liquidation or reorganization under a bankruptcy proceeding. Further, Borrower will not fund any indemnification or litigation reserve or fund,
or special working capital reserve, of any kind without the prior written approval of the Lenders.
(b) Sole Discretion of Lenders. Whenever Lenders’ consent or approval is required under this Agreement, the decision as to whether or
not to consent or approve shall be in the sole and exclusive discretion of Lenders and Lenders’ decision shall be final and conclusive.
(c ) This Section 4 shall not be construed so as to entitle Lenders to prohibit, or require Lenders’ consent for, the Borrower
entering into any of the following agreements that have commercially reasonable terms and conditions, are approved by a majority of the disinterested directors of the Board of Directors and do not subordinate the senior priority right to payment of
Lenders under this Agreement among unsecured debt obligations of Borrower: (i) usual and customary factoring agreements in the normal course of business; (ii) purchase money financing for products in the normal course of business; (iii) equipment
lease financing; (iv) real property or office leases necessary to Borrower operations; or (v) debt financing agreements to pay off all amounts owed to the Lenders under this Agreement or any Notes.
(d) Borrower may authorize and issue debt securities without consent of Lenders as long as the debt securities are: (i) approved by a
majority of the disinterested directors of the Borrower Board of Directors; and (b) the payment of money owed under the debt securities is subordinate to the senior, priority right of payment of the Lenders under this Agreement or any Notes.
10

Agreement for the Initial Period and agreeing to a below market rate of Interest, and as payment of a finance fee for the loan of money made hereunder on a unsecured basis, the Borrower shall issue to Lenders the following securities to Lenders
within ten (10) days after the Start Date: Seven Thousand Five Hundred (7,500) shares of Borrower’s Series B-1 Convertible Preferred Stock, $0.0001 par value per share, (“Preferred Shares”) issued to each Lender. Preferred Shares can only be issued
in the name of recipient Lender and not in the name of an assignee or other person or entity. Borrower shall cause a stock certificate to be issued to each Lender evidencing the Lender’s Preferred Shares. Preferred Shares’ Stock certificates shall
have appropriate restrictive legends. Each Preferred Share converts into 66.66 shares of Common Stock at option of Lender: and
(ii) If the Borrower wishes to extend the Initial Period for six consecutive months for requesting and receiving Advances or other
loans under this Agreement and to do so on the same terms and conditions for Advances during the Initial Period, then the Borrower must provide written notice of the election to extend the Initial Period for six consecutive months to Lenders on or
prior to the expiration of the Initial Period and Borrower must issue to each of the Lenders the following consideration on or prior to the expiration of the Initial Period: Five Hundred Thousand (500,000) shares of Borrower’s Common Stock, $0.0001
par value per share, (“Common Shares”) issued to each Lender. Borrower shall cause a stock certificate to be issued to each Lender evidencing the Lender’s Common Shares. Common Shares can only be issued in the name of a recipient Lender and not in
the name of an assignee or other person or entity. Common Shares’ stock certificates shall have appropriate restrictive legends.
(b) The Common Shares and Preferred Shares are restricted securities under Rule 144 of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, and
will be issued in reliance on an exemption from registration under Section 4(a)(2) and Rule 506(b) of Regulation D under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended.
(c) Lenders are solely liable for all tax consequences to Lenders resulting from the issuance of Common Shares and Preferred Shares.
(d) Cooperation. Lenders will cooperate in a good faith, diligent manner with Borrower in performing all acts and signing all
certifications, filings, reports, questionnaires, agreements, and other instruments that are reasonably required to comply with all applicable federal and state securities laws and regulations for the offer and issuance of the Common Shares and
Preferred Shares. Lenders agree and understand that each Lender is solely responsible for filing any Form 4 or Schedule 13D Amendment filings with the SEC that are required as a result of this Agreement.
(e) Conversion of Indebtedness Option. Upon fifteen (15) days’ prior written notice to Borrower (“Conversion Notice”), a Lender may
at his option convert unpaid principal and Interest accrued thereon owed to the Lender into shares of Common Stock of the Borrower at a conversion ratio of Nine Cents ($0.09) of Indebtedness into one (1) share of Common Stock of Borrower. No
fractional shares will be issued in any conversion. The issuance of shares of Common Stock of Borrower under the conversion shall occur within fifteen (15) days after receipt of the Conversion Notice. The shares of Common Stock are restricted
securities under Rule 144 of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, and will be issued in reliance on an exemption from registration under Section 4(a)(2) and Rule 506(b) of Regulation D under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended. Lenders will
cooperate
with the Borrower in ensuring compliance with applicable federal and state securities laws.
14
(f) Piggy-back Registration Rights. If after the Initial Period, the Borrower proposes to register any of its Common Stock under the
Securities Act of 1933, as amended, (“Registration”) (other than pursuant to a Registration Statement under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, on Form S-4 or S-8 or any successor form), then Borrower will give prompt written notice to the
Lenders of Borrower’s intention to effect such Registration (the “Incidental Registration”). Within ten (10) business days of receiving such written notice of an Incidental Registration, the Lenders may make a written request (the “Piggy-Back
Request”) that the Borrower include in the proposed Incidental Registration all, or a portion, of the Common Shares issued to Lenders hereunder and owned by the Lenders (“Registrable Securities”) (which Piggy-Back Request shall set forth the
Registrable Securities intended to be disposed of by the Lenders and the intended method of disposition thereof). The Borrower will use its commercially reasonable efforts
to include in any Incidental Registration all Registrable Securities which the Borrower has been requested to register pursuant to any timely Piggy-Back Request and shall do so to the extent required to permit the disposition (in accordance with
the intended methods stated in the Incidental Registration) of the Registrable Securities to be registered. Notwithstanding this subsection 8(f), if the Borrower is engaged in, or has definitive plans to engage in, any activity or negotiations
that, in the good faith determination of the Board of Directors of the Borrower, would be adversely affected by disclosure that would be required in connection with a Registration, or otherwise be to the material detriment of the Borrower, then
the Borrower may delay such registration for a period of one hundred eighty (180) days from the date of termination or disclosure of such activity or negotiations. This subsection 8(f) shall survive the termination or expiration of this Agreement
for a period of one (1) year.
Section 9. INDEMNIFICATION. The Borrower agrees to and does hereby indemnify and defend each of the Lenders and his affiliates, heirs
and personal representatives and successors and assigns and does hereby hold each of them harmless from and against, any claim or cause of action, and any resulting loss, liability, costs or expenses or damages of any kind whatsoever (including
reasonable in-house and outside counsel fees, whether suit is brought or not) arising from or otherwise relating to the closing, disbursement, administration, or repayment of the money loaned under this Agreement, including without limitation: (i)
the failure to make any payment to the Lenders promptly when due, whether under the Notes evidencing the Advances or other loans of money hereunder; (ii) the breach of any representations or warranties to the Lenders contained in this Agreement,
Notes or other or Related Documents now or hereafter executed in connection with the Advances and any other loans hereunder; or (iii) the violation of any covenants or agreements made for the benefit of the Lenders herein or in any Notes or other
Related Documents; provided, however, that the foregoing indemnification shall not be deemed to cover any loss or liability which is finally determined by a court of competent jurisdiction to result solely from the Lender’s or Lenders’ gross
negligence or willful misconduct.
Section 10. EVENT OF DEFAULT. (a) Each of the following shall constitute a breach of this Agreement and an “Event of Default” under
this Agreement (“Event of Default”):
(i) Payment Default. Borrower fails to make any payment to a Lender or Lenders when due under this Agreement.
(ii) Other Defaults. Borrower fails to comply with or to perform any other term, obligation, covenant, or condition contained in
this Agreement or in any of the Related Documents (including Notes) or to comply with or to perform any term, obligation, covenant, or condition contained in any other agreement between Lenders or Lender and Borrower and that failure is not remedied
within fifteen (15) days after receipt of a written demand from a Lender or the Lenders.
(iii) Default in Favor of Third Parties. Borrower defaults under any loan, extension of credit, security agreement, purchase or sales
agreement, or any other agreement, in favor of any other creditor or person and that defaults may materially affect the Borrower’s ability to repay the loans or perform its obligations under this Agreement, any Note or any of the Related Documents.
15
(iv) False Statements. Any warranty, representation or statement made or furnished to Lenders by Borrower or on Borrower’s behalf
under this Agreement, Notes, or the Related Documents in connection with the obtaining of the loan of money under this Agreement is false or misleading in any material respect, either now or at the time made or furnished or becomes false or
misleading at any time thereafter.
(v) Insolvency. The dissolution or termination of Borrower’s existence as a going business, the insolvency of Borrower, the
appointment of a receiver for any part of Borrower’s property, any assignment for the benefit of creditors, any type of creditor workout, or the commencement of any proceeding under any bankruptcy or insolvency laws by or against Borrower.
(vi) Judgment. Unless adequately covered by insurance in the sole opinion of Lenders, the entry of a final judgment for the payment
of money involving more than Three Hundred Fifty Thousand Dollars ($350,000.00) (excluding costs and attorneys’ fees) against Borrower and the failure by Borrower to discharge the same, or cause it to be discharged, or bonded off to Lender’s
satisfaction, within ninety (90) days from the date of the order, decree or process under which or pursuant to which such judgment was entered.
(vii) Adverse Change. A material adverse change occurs in Borrower’s financial condition, or Lenders believe the prospect of payment
or performance of this Agreement or any Note is substantially impaired.
(b) Right to Cure. If any default, other than a default on Indebtedness, is curable and if Borrower has not been given a notice of a
similar default within the preceding three (3) months, it may be cured if Borrower after Lenders send written notice to Borrower demanding cure of such default: (i) cures the default within fifteen (15) days; or (ii) if the cure requires more than
fifteen (15) days, immediately initiate steps which Lenders deems in Lenders’ sole and joint discretion to be sufficient to cure the default and thereafter continue and complete all reasonable and necessary steps sufficient to produce compliance as
soon as reasonably practical.
(c) EFFECT OF AN EVENT OF DEFAULT. If any Event of Default shall occur, except where otherwise provided in this Agreement or Notes or
the Related Documents, all commitments and obligations of Lenders under this Agreement or Notes or the Related Documents or any other agreement immediately will terminate (including any obligation to make further Advances or disbursements), and, at
Lenders’ option, all Indebtedness immediately will become due and payable, all without notice of any kind to Borrower, except that in the case of an Event of Default of the type described in the “Insolvency” subsection above, such acceleration shall
be automatic and not optional. Lenders shall each have all the rights and remedies provided in this Agreement, Notes and Related Documents or available at law, in equity, or otherwise. Except as may be prohibited by applicable laws, all of each
Lender’s rights and remedies shall be cumulative and may be exercised singularly or concurrently. Election by Lenders or a Lender to pursue any remedy shall not exclude pursuit of any other remedy, and an election to make expenditures or to take
action to perform an obligation of Borrower shall not affect each Lender’s right to declare a default and to exercise its rights and remedies. Termination of this Agreement or Related Documents shall not terminate any Notes or the obligation of the
Borrower to repay all Indebtedness owed to a Lender or to the Lenders.
16
SECTION 11. MISCELLANEOUS.
(a) Caption Headings. Caption headings in this Agreement are for convenience purposes only and are not to be used to interpret or
define the provisions of this Agreement.
(b) Governing Law. This Agreement will be governed by the laws of the State of Florida without regard to its conflicts of law
provisions. This Agreement has been accepted and signed by Lenders in the State of Florida. Any dispute, claim or controversy arising out of or relating to this Agreement, or the breach or validity hereof, shall be adjudicated only by a court of
competent jurisdiction in the State of Florida, and thus the parties consent to the exclusive jurisdiction and venue in U.S. District Court for Southern District of Florida, or, if jurisdictional requirements dictate, in a court of competent
jurisdiction in Broward County, Florida and the parties waive all defenses for lack of personal jurisdiction and forum non conveniens.
(c) Non-Liability of Lenders. The relationship between Borrower and Lenders created by this Agreement is strictly a debtor and
creditor relationship and not fiduciary in nature, nor is the relationship to be construed as creating any partnership or joint venture or common enterprise between Lenders and Borrower. Borrower is exercising Borrower’s own judgment with respect to
Borrower’s business. All information supplied to Lenders is for each Lender’s protection only and no other party is entitled to rely on such information. There is no duty for Lenders, in their capacity as lenders, to review, inspect, supervise, or
inform Borrower of any matter with respect to Borrower’s business. Lenders and Borrower intend that Lenders may reasonably rely on all information supplied by Borrower to Lenders, together with all representations and warranties given by Borrower to
Lenders, without investigation or confirmation by Lenders and that any investigation or failure to investigate will not diminish each Lender’s right to so rely.
(d) Notice of Breach. Borrower must notify Lenders in writing of any breach of this Agreement or a Note or the Related Documents by
Borrower and any other claim, cause of action or offset against Borrower within five (5) days after the occurrence of such breach or after the accrual of such claim, cause of action or offset.
(e) Counterparts. This Agreement may be executed in multiple counterparts, each of which, when so executed, shall be deemed an
original, but all such counterparts, taken together, shall constitute one and the same instrument and agreement.
(f) No Waiver by Lenders. Lenders shall not be deemed to have waived any rights under this Agreement unless such
waiver is given in
writing and signed by Lenders or Lender. No delay or omission on the part of Lenders in exercising any right shall operate as a waiver of such right or any other right. A waiver by Lenders of a provision of this Agreement shall not prejudice or
constitute a waiver of Lenders’ right otherwise to demand strict compliance with that provision or any other provision of this Agreement. No prior waiver by Lender or Lenders, nor any course of dealing between Lenders and Borrower, shall constitute a
waiver of any of Lenders’ or a Lender’s rights or of any of Borrower’s obligations as to any future transactions. Whenever the consent of a Lender or Lenders are required under this Agreement, the granting of such consent by Lenders or Lender in any
instance shall not constitute continuing consent to subsequent instances where such consent is required and in all cases such consent may be granted or withheld in the sole discretion of Lenders or a Lender.
17
(g) Notices. Any notice required to be given under this Agreement shall be given in writing, and shall be effective when delivered,
when actually received by telefacsimile (unless otherwise required by law), when deposited with a nationally recognized overnight courier, or, if mailed, when deposited in the United States mail, as first class, certified or registered mail postage
prepaid, directed to the addresses shown near the beginning of this Agreement. Any party may change its address for notices under this Agreement by giving formal written notice to the other parties, specifying that the purpose of the notice is to
change the party’s address. For notice purposes, Borrower agrees to keep Lenders informed at all times of Borrower’s current address. Unless otherwise provided or required by law, if there is more than one Borrower, any notice given by Lenders to any
Borrower is deemed to be notice given to all Borrowers.

(h) Severability. If a court of competent jurisdiction finds any provision of this Agreement to be illegal, invalid, or unenforceable
as to any circumstance, that finding shall not make the offending provision illegal, invalid, or unenforceable as to any other circumstance. If feasible, the offending provision shall be considered modified so that it becomes legal, valid, and
enforceable. If the offending provision cannot be so modified, it shall be considered deleted from this Agreement. Unless otherwise required by law, the illegality, invalidity, or unenforceability of any provision of this Agreement shall not affect
the legality, validity, or enforceability of any other provision of this Agreement.
(i) Subsidiaries and Affiliates of Borrower. To the extent the context of any provisions of this Agreement makes it appropriate,
including without limitation any representation, warranty or covenant, the word “Borrower” as used in this Agreement shall include all of Borrower’s wholly owned subsidiaries and affiliates. Notwithstanding the foregoing however, under no
circumstances shall this Agreement be construed to require Lenders to make any loan or other financial accommodation directly to any of Borrower’s subsidiaries or affiliates.
(j) Successors and Assigns. All covenants and agreements by or on behalf of Borrower contained in this Agreement or any Related
Documents or Notes shall bind Borrower’s successors and assigns and shall inure to the benefit of Lenders and each of their successors and assigns. Borrower shall not, however, have the right to assign Borrower’s rights under this Agreement or any
interest therein, without the prior written consent of Lenders.
18
(k) Survival of Representations and Warranties. Borrower understands and agrees that in extending Advances, Lenders is relying on
all representations, warranties, and covenants made by Borrower in this Agreement or in any certificate or other instrument delivered by Borrower to Lenders under this Agreement or the Related Documents. Borrower further agrees that regardless of any
investigation made by Lenders, all such representations, warranties and covenants will survive the extension of Advances and delivery to Lenders of the Related Documents, shall be continuing in nature, shall be deemed made and redated by Borrower at
the time each Advance is made, and shall remain in full force and effect until such time as Borrower’s Indebtedness shall be paid in full and for one (1) year thereafter.
(l) Time is of the Essence. Time is of the essence in the performance of this Agreement.
(m) Waive Jury. All parties to this Agreement hereby waive the right to any jury trial in any action, proceeding, or counterclaim
brought by any party against any other party.
(n) Conflicting Provisions. If provisions of this Agreement shall conflict with any terms or provisions of any of the Note(s) or any
schedule attached hereto, the provisions of such Note(s) or any schedule attached hereto, as appropriate, shall take priority over any provisions in this Agreement.
(r) Entire Agreement. This Agreement embodies the entire agreement between Borrower and Lenders with respect to the loans of money
hereunder, and there are no oral or parol agreements existing between Lenders and Borrower with respect to the loans of money which are not expressly set forth in this Agreement or any Advances or Notes.
