Exhibit 10.2
AMENDMENT TO
COMMON STOCK PURCHASE WARRANT
This Amendment to Common Stock Purchase Warrant (“Amendment”), is made and entered into effective as of December __, 2021 (the “Effective Date”), by and between Quantum Computing Inc., a Delaware corporation (the “Company”), and ____________________________________, (“Holder”). Capitalized terms used but not otherwise defined herein shall have the same meanings as set forth in the Warrants (as defined below).
WHEREAS, effective November 10, 2021 , the Company conducted a private placement offering (the “Private Placement”) pursuant to a securities purchase agreement (the “Purchase Agreement”) with the Holder whereby the Holder had agreed to purchase from the Company an aggregate of ________ shares of the Company’s newly created Series A Convertible Preferred Stock, par value $0.0001 per share (the “Series A Preferred Stock”) and warrants to purchase ________ shares of the Company’s common stock (the “Warrants”) ; and
WHEREAS, the Company and holders wish to clarify that the issuance of shares pursuant to the conversion of the Series A Preferred Stock and the exercise of the Warrants are subject to NASDAQ Rule 5635(d);
NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the mutual covenants and conditions contained herein, the parties hereby agree as follows:
1. Amendment to Common Stock Purchase Warrant. Section 2(e) is hereby deleted in its entirety and replaced with the following:
Holder’s Exercise Limitations. The Company shall not effect any exercise of this Warrant, and a Holder shall not have the right to exercise any portion of this Warrant, pursuant to Section 2 or otherwise, to the extent that after giving effect to such issuance after exercise as set forth on the applicable Notice of Exercise, the Holder (together with the Holder’s Affiliates, and any other Persons acting as a group together with the Holder or any of the Holder’s Affiliates), would beneficially own in excess of the Beneficial Ownership Limitation (as defined below). For purposes of the foregoing sentence, the number of shares of Common Stock beneficially owned by the Holder and its Affiliates shall include the number of shares of Common Stock issuable upon exercise of this Warrant with respect to which such determination is being made, but shall exclude the number of shares of Common Stock which would be issuable upon (i) exercise of the remaining, nonexercised portion of this Warrant beneficially owned by the Holder or any of its Affiliates and (ii) exercise or conversion of the unexercised or nonconverted portion of any other securities of the Company (including, without limitation, any other Common Stock Equivalents) subject to a limitation on conversion or exercise analogous to the limitation contained herein beneficially owned by the Holder or any of its Affiliates. Except as set forth in the preceding sentence, for purposes of this Section 2(e), beneficial ownership shall be calculated in accordance with Section 13(d) of the Exchange Act and the rules and regulations promulgated thereunder, it being acknowledged by the Holder that the Company is not representing to the Holder that such calculation is in compliance with Section 13(d) of the Exchange Act and the Holder is solely responsible for any schedules required to be filed in accordance therewith. To the extent that the limitation contained in this Section 2(e) applies, the determination of whether this Warrant is exercisable (in relation to other securities owned by the Holder together with any Affiliates) and of which portion of this Warrant is exercisable shall be in the sole discretion of the Holder, and the submission of a Notice of Exercise shall be deemed to be the Holder’s determination of whether this Warrant is exercisable (in relation to other securities owned by the Holder together with any Affiliates) and of which portion of this Warrant is exercisable, in each case subject to the Beneficial Ownership Limitation, and the Company shall have no obligation to verify or confirm the accuracy of such determination. In addition, a determination as to any group status as contemplated above shall be determined in accordance with Section 13(d) of the Exchange Act and the rules and regulations promulgated thereunder. For purposes of this Section 2(e), in determining the number of outstanding shares of Common Stock, a Holder may rely on the number of outstanding shares of Common Stock as reflected in (A) the Company’s most recent periodic or annual report filed with the Commission, as the case may be, (B) a more recent public announcement by the Company or (C) a more recent written notice by the Company or the Transfer Agent setting forth the number of shares of Common Stock outstanding. Upon the written or oral request of a Holder, the Company shall within one (1) Trading Day confirm orally and in writing to the Holder the number of shares of Common Stock then outstanding. In any case, the number of outstanding shares of Common Stock shall be determined after giving effect to the conversion or exercise of securities of the Company, including this Warrant, by the Holder or its Affiliates since the date as of which such number of outstanding shares of Common Stock was reported. The “Beneficial Ownership Limitation” shall be 4.99% of the number of shares of the Common Stock outstanding immediately after giving effect to the issuance of shares of Common Stock issuable upon exercise of this Warrant. The Holder, upon not less than sixty-one (61) days’ prior notice to the Company, may increase the Beneficial Ownership Limitation provisions of this Section 2(e) solely with respect to the Holder’s Warrant, provided that the Beneficial Ownership Limitation in no event exceeds 9.99% of the number of shares of Common Stock outstanding immediately after giving effect to the issuance of shares of Common Stock upon exercise of this Warrant held by the Holder and the provisions of this Section 2(e) shall continue to apply. Any such increase will not be effective until the 61st day after such notice is delivered to the Company. The Holder may also decrease the Beneficial Ownership Limitation provisions of this Section 2(e) solely with respect to the Holder’s Warrant at any time, which decrease shall be effectively immediately upon delivery of notice to the Company. The provisions of this paragraph shall be construed and implemented in a manner otherwise than in strict conformity with the terms of this Section 2(e) to correct this paragraph (or any portion hereof) which may be defective or inconsistent with the intended Beneficial Ownership Limitation herein contained or to make changes or supplements necessary or desirable to properly give effect to such limitation. The limitations contained in this paragraph shall apply to a successor holder of this Warrant. In addition, the Company shall not effect the exercise of this Warrant, and a Holder shall not have the right to exercise this Warrant and any such exercise shall be null and void and treated as if never made, if to the extent that after giving effect to such exercise of this Warrant and conversion of the Series A Preferred Stock, the aggregate amount of Common Stock issuable to the Holder would exceed, when added to the previously issued shares of Common Stock inclusive of shares issued pursuant to the conversion of Series A Preferred Stock or any potential issuance of the payment of dividends in the form of Common Stock, the requirements of Nasdaq Listing Rule 5635(d) (“Nasdaq 19.99% Cap”), except that such limitation will not apply following Approval (defined below). If the number of shares of Common Stock pursuant to the exercise of this Warrant or conversion of the Series A Preferred Stock issued to the Holder reaches the Nasdaq 19.99% Cap, so as not to violate the 20% limit established in Listing Rule 5635(d), the Company, at its election, will use reasonable commercial efforts to obtain stockholder approval for the issuance of Common Stock pursuant to conversion of the Series A Preferred, any potential issuance of the payment of dividends in the form of Common Stock, or issuance pursuant to the exercise of this Warrant, if necessary, in accordance with the requirements of Nasdaq Listing Rule 5635(d) (the “Approval”).
3. Necessary Acts. Each party to this Amendment hereby agrees to perform any further acts and to execute and deliver any further documents that may be necessary or required to carry out the intent and provisions of this Amendment and the transactions contemplated hereby.
4. Governing Law. This Amendment will be governed by and construed under the Governing Law and Venue provisions of the Purchase Agreement.
5. Continued Validity. Except as otherwise expressly provided herein, the Warrants shall remain in full force and effect.
IN WITNESS WHEREOF, the parties have caused this Amendment to be duly executed as of the date first written above.
