ITEM 14. INDEMNIFICATION OF DIRECTORS AND OFFICERS
Section 1 of Article VI of our Articles of Incorporation provides that, to the fullest extent permitted by the General Corporation Law of the State of Delaware we will indemnify our officers and directors from and against any and all expenses, liabilities, or other matters.
Section 2 of Article VI of our Articles of Incorporation provides that, to the fullest extent permitted by law, no director or officer shall be personally liable to the corporation or its shareholders for damages for breach of any duty owed to the corporation or its shareholders.
Article XI of our Amended and Restated Bylaws further addresses indemnification of our directors and officers and allows us to indemnify our directors and officers in the event they meet certain criteria in terms of acting in good faith and in an official capacity within the scope of their duties, when such conduct leads them to be involved in a legal action.
Insofar as indemnification for liabilities arising under the Securities Act of 1933 (the “Act”) may be permitted to directors, officers and controlling persons of the small business issuer pursuant to the foregoing provisions, or otherwise, the small business issuer has been advised that in the opinion of the Securities and Exchange Commission such indemnification is against public policy as expressed in the Act and is, therefore, unenforceable.

On September 28, 2021, we closed a financing transaction with Armistice Capital Master Fund Ltd. (the “Purchaser”). Under the terms of the financing, we received $2,500,000 from the Purchaser and in exchange issued the Purchaser an 18% Original Issue Discount Convertible Debenture in the principal amount of $3,048,780.50 (the “Debenture”) and a Common Stock Purchase Warrant (the Original Warrant) to purchase up to 3,696 shares of our Common Stock.

From March 2021 through May 31, 2021, we conducted a “Unit” offering under Rule 506 of Regulation D, with each Unit consisting of a $50,000 principal amount convertible debenture (the “Secured Debentures”) and a warrant (the “Warrant”) to purchase 76 shares of our Common Stock. The holders of the Secured Debentures and the Warrants are the Selling Securityholders herein. The Secured Debentures mature two (2) years after issuance. The Secured Debentures will not be redeemable but contain an automatic conversion feature, which will cause all principal and interest due under the Debenture to automatically convert if our Common Stock closes at or above $660.00 per share on NASDAQ for five (5) consecutive trading days. Interest on each investor’s Secured Debenture accrues at a rate of 12% per annum, beginning on the date we have access to the investor’s funds. At the date of their investment, investors elected to have the interest due under the Secured Debenture paid in cash monthly or have the interest accrue and be payable on the maturity date of the Secured Debenture. For investors that elect to accrue the interest due under the Secured Debenture, the interest will be paid in cash or may be converted into shares of our Common Stock under the same terms as the principal amount on the maturity date. The Secured Debentures will be convertible at any time, and from time to time, beginning on the date of issuance, into shares of our Common Stock. The Secured Debentures will be convertible at nine hundred ninety dollars ($990.00) per share; provided, however, that the right of conversion will be limited by the terms of the Secured Debentures to the extent necessary to ensure that each Debenture holder will never beneficially own more than 4.9% of our class of Common Stock at any one time while any portion of the holder’s Debenture remains outstanding. The repayment of the Secured Debentures is secured by our current patent and patent applications. The Warrant attached to each Unit gives the investor the right to purchase 76 shares of our Common Stock. The Warrants are exercisable at any time, and from time to time, beginning on the date of issuance and expiring two (2) years after issuance, into shares of our Common Stock at an exercise price of nine hundred ninety dollars ($990.00) per share. In the event our Common Stock closes at or above $660.00 per share on NASDAQ for five (5) consecutive trading days then we have the right to notify the holder of the Warrants that we plan to purchase the Warrants for $33.00 each, which begins a sixty (60) day period for the holder to exercise the Warrants or we may purchase them for $33.00 each. Under this offering, we issued secured convertible promissory notes totaling $2,005,000 to 25 non-affiliated investors, and one then-affiliate investor - Mr. Ford Fay, one of our directors ($50,000) and additional investors that are now affiliates - Mr. James Bardy (through an entity he controls entitled Financial House, LLC) ($100,000) and Mr. Scott Bennett, our Executive Vice-President of Operations ($50,000), and warrants to purchase 3,038 shares of our Common Stock with the notes and warrants having the terms described above.

In connection with closing the transaction with IDTEC detailed herein, we issued a convertible promissory note totaling approximately $1,500,000 to IDTEC. The promissory note was convertible any time by the holder into shares of our Common Stock at a conversion price of $165.00 per share, subject to anti-dilution protection against any future securities we may issue at an effective price of less than $55.00 per share. On November 17, 2020, IDTEC converted the total of $1,551,514 of principal and interest due under the promissory note into 9,404 shares of our Common Stock. The issuance of these securities was exempt from registration pursuant to Section 4(a)(2) of the Securities Act of 1933.

The issuance of these securities was exempt from registration pursuant to Section 4(a)(2) of the Securities Act of 1933.

**XBRL (Extensible Business Reporting Language) information is furnished and not filed or a part of a registration statement or prospectus for purposes of Sections 11 or 12 of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, is deemed not filed for purposes of Section 18 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, and otherwise is not subject to liability under these sections.
(b) Financial Statement Schedules
Schedules not listed above have been omitted because the information required to be set forth therein is not applicable or is shown in the financial statements or the notes thereto.
Undertakings
| A. | Insofar as indemnification for liabilities arising under the Securities Act of 1933 may be permitted to our directors, officers and controlling persons pursuant to the foregoing provisions, or otherwise, we have been advised that in the opinion of the Securities and Exchange Commission such indemnification is against public policy as expressed in the Securities Act of 1933 and is, therefore, unenforceable. In the event that a claim for indemnification against such liabilities (other than the payment by us of expenses incurred or paid by our director, officer or controlling person in the successful defense of any action, suit or proceeding) is asserted by such director, officer or controlling person in connection with the securities being registered, we will, unless in the opinion of our counsel the matter has been settled by controlling precedent, submit to a court of appropriate jurisdiction the question whether such indemnification by it is against public policy as expressed in the Securities Act of 1933 and will be governed by the final adjudication of such issue. |
| | |
| B. | The undersigned registrant hereby undertakes: |
| (1) | To file, during any period in which offers or sales are being made, a post-effective amendment to this registration statement: |
| (a) | To include any prospectus required by Section 10(a)(3) of the Securities Act of 1933; |
| | |
| (b) | To reflect in the prospectus any facts or events arising after the effective date of the registration statement (or the most recent post-effective amendment thereof) which, individually or in the aggregate, represent a fundamental change in the information set forth in the registration statement. Notwithstanding the foregoing, any increase or decrease in volume of securities offered (if the total dollar value of securities offered would not exceed that which was registered) and any deviation from the low or high end of the estimated maximum offering range may be reflected in the form of prospectus filed with the Commission pursuant to Rule 424(b) (Section 230.424(b) of Regulation S-K) if, in the aggregate, the changes in volume and price represent no more than a 20% change in the maximum aggregate offering price set forth in the “Calculation of Registration Fee” table in the effective registration statement; and |
| | |
| (c) | To include any material information with respect to the plan of distribution not previously disclosed in the registration statement or any material change to such information in the registration statement. |
| (2) | That, for the purpose of determining any liability under the Securities Act of 1933, each such post-effective amendment shall be deemed to be a new registration statement relating to the securities offered therein, and the offering of the securities at that time shall be deemed to be the initial bona fide offering thereof. |
| | |
| (3) | To remove from registration by means of a post-effective amendment any of the securities being registered which remain unsold at the termination of the offering. |
