SUBJECT TO COMPLETION, DATED SEPTEMBER 5, 2025
PRELIMINARY PROSPECTUS

1,212,121 Units
Each Unit Consisting of
One Share of Common Stock and
One Warrant to Purchase One Share of Common Stock
We are offering our securities at a public offering price of $4.125 per Unit (as defined below).
Each “Unit” consists of one share of our common stock and one warrant (each, a “Warrant”, and collectively, the “Warrants”) to purchase one share of common stock at an exercise price of at least $4.125 per share. The Units have no stand-alone rights and will not be certificated or issued as stand-alone securities. The shares of common stock and the Warrants comprising the Units are immediately separable and will be issued separately in this offering. Each Warrant offered hereby is immediately exercisable on the date of issuance and will expire five years from the date of issuance.
Prior to this offering, our common stock was quoted on the OTCQB Marketplace (the “OTCQB”) under the symbol “GOAI.” There is no established trading market for the Warrants. We intend to apply for listing of our common stock and Warrants on the NASDAQ Capital Market (“Nasdaq”) under the symbols “GOAI” and “GOAIW”, respectively. We believe that upon the completion of the offering contemplated by this prospectus, we will meet the standards for listing on Nasdaq.
There is no assurance that our common stock or Warrants will be approved for listing on Nasdaq. If our common stock or Warrants are not approved for listing, this offering will not proceed.
The last reported sale price for our common stock as reported on the OTCQB on September 4, 2025 was $4.23. The offering price of the Units has been determined by negotiations between the underwriters and us considering our historical performance and capital structure, prevailing market conditions, and overall assessment of our business, and may be at a discount to the current market price. The prices at which our common stock was quoted on the OTCQB may not be indicative of the actual public offering price for our Units or of the prices at which our common stock may trade on Nasdaq in the future.
Investing in our securities involves a high degree of risk. See “Risk Factors” beginning on page 9 of this prospectus for a discussion of information that you should consider before investing in our securities. Unless otherwise noted, the share and per share information in this prospectus and the financial statements and notes included herein reflects our February 4, 2025 reverse stock split of the outstanding common stock at a 1-for-4 ratio.
We are an “emerging growth company” as defined in Section 2(a) of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, and we have elected to comply with certain reduced public company reporting requirements.
Neither the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission nor any state securities commission has approved or disapproved of these securities or determined if this prospectus is truthful or complete. Any representation to the contrary is a criminal offense.

| Price to the public | $ | |||||||
| Underwriting discounts and commissions (1) | $ | $ | ||||||
| Proceeds to us (before expenses) (2) | $ | $ | ||||||
| (1) | We have agreed to provide to the underwriter an underwriting discount of seven percent (7.0%) of such public offering. We have also agreed to issue warrants to purchase shares of our common stock to the underwriter (the “Underwriter’s Warrants”, each, a “Underwriter’s Warrant”) and to reimburse the underwriter for certain expenses. The Underwriter’s Warrants are exercisable for a number of shares of common stock equal to 7.0% of the number of Units sold in this offering, at an exercise price equal to 125% of the public offering price per Unit. See “Underwriting” for additional information regarding total underwriter compensation. | |
| (2) | The amount of offering proceeds to us presented in this table does not give effect to any exercise of the: (i) over-allotment option (if any) we have granted to the underwriter as described below and (ii) warrants being issued to the underwriter in this offering. |
We have granted a 45-day option to the underwriter to purchase up to an additional 181,818 shares of common stock and/or 181,818 additional Warrants (having the same terms as the Warrants included in the Units in this offering) from us in any combination thereof solely to cover overallotments, if any, at the public offering price per share of common stock equal to the public offering price per Unit minus $0.01 per share and $0.02 per Warrant, less underwriting discounts and commissions. If the representative of the underwriters exercises the option in full, the total underwriting discounts and commissions payable will be approximately $402,500 and the total proceeds to us, before expenses, will be approximately $5,750,000.
The underwriter expects to deliver the securities against payment to the investors in this offering made on or about _________ , 2025.

Unless the context otherwise requires, references to “we,” “our,” “us,” or the “Company” in this prospectus mean Eva Live Inc.
Corporate History
Eva Live Inc. (the “Company”) was incorporated under the laws of the State of Nevada on August 27, 2002, as International Pit Boss Gaming, Inc. On October 1, 2002, the Company merged with Pro Roads Systems, Inc. (a Florida corporation), a public shell company traded on the pink sheets. Pro Roads Systems, Inc. had no operations before the merger. The purpose of the merger was to change the Company’s domicile from Florida to Nevada. From its inception to 2006, the Company designed and developed software for the gaming industry. The Company changed its name on February 14, 2006, to Logo Industries Corporation and, on November 18, 2008, to Malwin Ventures Inc. On February 11, 2014, the Company announced negotiations with Impact Future Media LLC, and their President/Founder, Francois Garcia, acquired 100% of Impact Future Media LLC and its media and entertainment assets. The Company announced the closing of this transaction on March 25, 2014. From March 2014 to September 28, 2021, the Company was involved in the entertainment, publishing, and interactive industries.
On September 28, 2021 (the “Acquisition Date”), the Company merged into EvaMedia Corp. (“EvaMedia”). Upon completion of the reverse merger, the Company acquired all issued and outstanding shares of EvaMedia’s capital stock. As a result, the Company issued 110,192,177 shares of the Company’s common stock to shareholders of EvaMedia, and immediately following the Acquisition, 111,169,525 shares of common stock were issued and outstanding. As a result, EvaMedia’s shareholders control 99.12% of the issued and outstanding shares of the Company on a fully diluted basis. Following the Acquisition, David Boulette of EvaMedia became the company’s CEO, director, and controlling shareholder. He appointed two additional board members from EvaMedia, Phil Aspin and Daryl Walser. Terry Fields remained the only board member of the Company.
We deemed EvaMedia as an accounting acquirer based on the following facts: (i) after the reverse merger, former shareholders of EvaMedia held a majority of the voting interest of the combined company; (ii) former Board of Directors of EvaMedia possess majority control of the Board of Directors of the combined company; (iii) members of the management of EvaMedia are responsible for the management of the combined company. As such, we have treated the financial statements of EvaMedia as the historical financial statements of the combined company, and (iv) EvaMedia’s relative size, measured in assets and revenues, is significantly larger than that of the Company.
We have identified the Company as the legal acquirer, as it is the entity that issued securities. Comparatively, we have identified EvaMedia as the legal acquiree, the entity whose equity interests are acquired.
Since September 28, 2021, the Company has operated at the junction of digital marketing and media monetization.
On September 9, 2021, the Company completed a reverse split in the amount of 1-for-150, changed the Company’s name to Eva Live Inc., changed the Company’s trading symbol from “MLWN” to “GOAI,” and executed an Acquisition Agreement resulting in a change of control of the Company . On September 10, 2021, the Financial Industry Regulatory Authority (“FINRA”) announced the effectiveness of a change in the Company’s name from “Malwin Ventures, Inc.” to “Eva Live, Inc.” and a change in the Company’s ticker symbol from “MLWN” to the new trading symbol “GOAI”. Trading under the new ticker symbol began at market opening on July 11, 2021.
On February 4, 2025, the Company effected the Reverse Stock Split. As a result of the Reverse Stock Split, every four (4) shares of issued and outstanding shares of common stock were combined into one (1) validly issued, fully paid and non-assessable share of common stock. FINRA announced the Reverse Stock Split on February 10, 2025. The common stock will start trading on a split-adjusted basis on OTC Markets at the market open on February 11, 2025. The trading symbol for the Common Stock continued to be “GOAI” after the Reverse Stock Split, and the CUSIP for the common stock changed to 298892209.
The Company’s year-end is December 31.
Current Operations
We execute our business through the Eva Platform based on Artificial Intelligence, or AI, to match advertising campaigns to specific ad spots one at a time. Our system creates conversion mapping tables that allow us to increase conversion rates by analyzing those trends with optimized historical conversion rates and further capitalizing on and improving those rates. We leverage “big data,” an accumulation of data that is too large and complex for traditional database management tools to process. Since more companies are attempting to leverage big data to make strategic business decisions, we have built automated tools that analyze the data and feed the relevant information into our decision logic. We have designed our solution to optimize brand campaigns to create brand awareness and direct response campaigns with a fixed conversion point.
Since September 28, 2021, the Company has operated at the junction of digital marketing and media monetization. We enable market awareness of companies and brands by providing best-in-class digital marketing and monetization services on the Internet. Our typical customers are advertising agencies (classified under SIC7319) and businesses in various industries seeking to market their products and services using our platform, including media companies, financial institutions, and other retail entities. Most of our customers are from North America, mainly the US and Canada. As of March 31, 2025 and December 31, 2024, we had seven (7) and six (6) customers, respectively, primarily from North America. The top three customers represent 88% and 85% of the Company’s receivables as of March 31, 2025 and December 31, 2024, respectively. Our Company’s financial health is highly dependent on these top customers. If any of them were to significantly reduce their spending or cease doing business with your company, it could have a major impact on your revenue and overall financial health. These clients utilize our platform to advertise with media outlets and participate in media buying services, including acquiring online traffic through the Eva Platform. We also deal with businesses (as described under NAICS 541810) that utilize our in-house digital marketing capabilities, including advice, creative services, account management, production of advertising material, media planning, and buying (i.e., placing advertising).

In November 2020, the Company completed the development of the Eva XML Platform (“Platform”), where the Platform buys traffic from various sources and sells that traffic to landing pages that display advertising via XML feeds. A price discrepancy exists between buying traffic on display and native platforms for specific keywords in an ad campaign and the XML search feeds. The Platform manages the entire ad buying/selling process by integrating into Google, Microsoft, Taboola, Revcontent, Gemini, and Facebook. The Platform creates thousands of ads with the push of a button. The Platform manages the spending depending on the performance of keywords in the ad campaign to maximize the arbitrage revenue.
The Company earns revenues from advertisers by signing purchase or insertion orders based on Standard Terms and Conditions for Internet Advertising for Media Buys One Year or Less, Version 3.0, a set of standards for conducting business for media companies and advertising agencies set by the Interactive Advertising Bureau and the American Association of Advertising Agency, two advertising industry self-regulatory groups (“Standard Advertising Terms”). We intend to offer media companies and advertising agencies a standard for conducting business that is acceptable to both parties based on such terms and conditions. When incorporated into an insertion order, this protocol represents the Company and its customers’ shared understanding of doing business. The Company may also sign additional documents to cover sponsorships and other arrangements involving content association, integration, and special production. The Company considers an insertion order with its customers a binding contract with the customer or other similar documentation reflecting the terms and conditions under which it provides products or services. As a result, the Company considers the insertion order persuasive evidence of an arrangement. Each insertion is specific to the customer, defines each party’s fee schedule, duties, and responsibilities, and is governed by Standard Advertising Terms set by the Interactive Advertising Bureau and the American Association of Advertising Agency, two advertising industry self-regulatory groups as to renewal and termination terms, confidentiality agreement, dispute resolution, and other clauses necessary for the contract.
We abide by the Standard Advertising Terms as to internet advertising for media buys one year or less. We execute an Insertion Order (IO) with our customers, a formal, contractual document used in advertising. It outlines the specifics of an advertising campaign a client has agreed to run with an advertising sales agency or a publisher. It serves as a purchase order but for media space or time slots, and its primary function is to specify the obligations of all parties involved. We comply with the IO, including all advertisement (“Ad”) placement restrictions, and provide Ads to the Company’s website (“Site”) specified on the IO when an Internet user visits the Site. We sent the initial invoice upon completion of the first month’s delivery or within 30 days of completion of the IO, whichever is earlier. Our customers will make payment 30 days from receipt of the invoice or as otherwise stated in a payment schedule set forth on the IO. We hold customers liable for payments solely to the extent proceeds have cleared from Advertiser to Agency for Ads placed following the IO. We provide reports at least as often as weekly, either electronically or in writing, unless otherwise specified on the IO. Our customers may cancel the entire IO, or any portion thereof, as follows:
| ● | With 14 days prior written notice to us, without penalty, for any guaranteed Site visitors (“Deliverables”, including, but not limited to, CPM (cost per thousand impressions) Deliverables. | |
| ● | With seven (7) days prior written notice to us, without penalty, for any non-guaranteed Deliverable, including, but not limited to, CPC (cost per clicks) Deliverables, CPL (cost per leads) Deliverables, or CPA (cost per acquisition) Deliverables, as well as some non-guaranteed CPM Deliverables. | |
| ● | With 30 days prior written notice to us, without penalty, for any flat fee-based or fixed-placement Deliverables. | |
| ● | Either party may terminate an IO at any time if the other party is in material breach of its obligations hereunder, which breach is not cured within ten days after receipt of written notice thereof from the non-breaching party. |
Our contract includes other standard terms and conditions, including but not limited to force majeure, indemnification, limitation of liability, non-disclosure, data usage and ownership, privacy and laws, third-party ad serving and tracking (applicable if third-party ad server is used), and other legally binding clauses.

Reverse Capitalization
After the SEC’s order on BF Borgers CPA in May 2024, the Company reevaluated the significant transaction as reverse capitalization instead of a reverse acquisition. On the Acquisition Date, the Company entered a reverse capitalization transaction (“Acquisition”) with EvaMedia. As per SEC 7050 – Reverse Mergers, a reverse recapitalization is a transaction in which a shell company (as defined in Exchange Act Rule 12b-2) issues its equity interests to effect the acquisition of an operating company. Reverse recapitalization is accounted for as a capital transaction equivalent to the operating company (i.e., the accounting acquirer, EvaMedia) issuing its equity for the net assets of the shell company, followed by recapitalization. A reverse recapitalization is not accounted for as a business combination because the shell company is not a business. Since reverse recapitalization is not accounted for as a business combination, no goodwill would be recorded because of the reverse recapitalization transaction. Therefore, we have eliminated goodwill of $2,010,606 as of December 31, 2024. Rather, any excess of the fair value of the shares issued by the operating company over the value of the net monetary assets of the shell company is recognized as a reduction to equity. In a reverse recapitalization, the legal acquirer/issuer is a shell company, the Company.

AdFlare Acquisition
On July 13, 2022, the Company entered into a Share Exchange Agreement (“AdFlare SEA”) with AdFlare Limited, a company duly formed under the laws of Ireland (Reg. Number: 714192) (“AdFlare”), and the shareholders of AdFlare, Phil Aspin, an individual and Stephen Adds, an individual. Pursuant to the AdFlare SEA, the Company acquired one hundred percent (100%) of the issued and outstanding shares of AdFlare in exchange for 500,000 shares of the Company’s restricted common stock valued at $1,500,000 using the discounted cash flow methodology. Mr. Phil Aspin, co-founder of AdFlare, has served as a member of the Company’s Board of Directors since September 28, 2021. The Company carried out the Goodwill Impairment Analysis as of December 31, 2022, where the carrying value of Goodwill as of December 31, 2022 is $1,500,000. The fair market value of the implied goodwill is approximately $0, which is less than the carrying value, and thus the impairment as of December 31, 2022 is $1,500,000.
AdFlare, a wholly owned subsidiary of the Company, is a leader in the specialized field of “Header Bidding,” with a deep contextual understanding of an array of ad technologies spanning search, display, and video across mobile and desktop, providing solutions to help all publishers drive revenue. Header bidding, also known as advance or pre-bidding, is a technology wherein publishers simultaneously offer their inventory to multiple ad exchanges, advertisers, and agencies. The idea is that by letting various buyers bid on the same inventory at the same time, in real-time, there’s more competition driving up the auction pressure and a chance to serve each impression at a higher Cost Per Mille rate (“CPM rate”), meaning capturing additional revenue. AdFlare has a track record of delivering over 1 billion ad impressions a month and increasing Google AdX over Google AdSense CPM by over 30%, with an average fill rate of 99.9% in the US market.
Recent Developments
On February 4, 2025, the Company effected a 1-for-4 reverse stock split (“Reverse Stock Split”), pursuant to which every four (4) shares of issued and outstanding common stock were combined into one (1) validly issued, fully paid and non-assessable share of common stock. The Reverse Stock Split uniformly affected all issued and outstanding shares of common stock and did not alter any stockholder’s percentage ownership interest in the Company, except to the extent that the Reverse Stock Split resulted in fractional interests. No fractional shares were issued in connection with the Reverse Stock Split. Stockholders who otherwise would have been entitled to receive fractional shares of common stock were entitled to receive one whole share.

Going Concern
Although our financial statements have been prepared on a going concern basis, we must raise additional capital in order to continue as a going concern. See Risk Factors – Risks Related to the Company - There is doubt that the Company can continue as a “going concern” on page 10 of this prospectus.
Implications of Being an Emerging Growth Company and a Smaller Reporting Company
We qualify as an “emerging growth company” defined in the Jumpstart Our Business Startups Act of 2012, or the JOBS Act. An emerging growth company may take advantage of specified reduced reporting and other burdens that generally apply to public companies. These provisions include:
| ● | an exemption from compliance with the auditor attestation requirement of Section 404 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002 on the design and effectiveness of our internal controls over financial reporting; |
| ● | an exemption from compliance with any requirement that the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board may adopt regarding mandatory audit firm rotation or a supplement to the auditor’s report providing additional information about the audit and the financial statements; |
| ● | reduced disclosure about the Company’s executive compensation arrangements; and |
| ● | exemptions from the requirements to obtain a non-binding advisory vote on executive compensation or shareholder approval of any golden parachute arrangements. |
We may take advantage of some, but not all, available benefits under the JOBS Act. We have taken advantage of some reduced reporting burdens in this prospectus. Accordingly, the information contained herein may be different from the information you receive from other public companies where you hold stock.
In addition, the JOBS Act provides that an emerging growth company can take advantage of an extended transition period to comply with new or revised accounting standards. This provision allows an emerging growth company to delay the adoption of some accounting standards until those standards would otherwise apply to private companies. We have elected to refrain from availing ourselves of the delayed adoption of new or revised accounting standards. Therefore, we will adopt new or revised generally accepted accounting principles in the United States on the relevant dates on which adoption of such standards is required for other public companies that are not emerging growth companies.
As amended, we are also a “smaller reporting company” defined in Rule 12b-2 promulgated under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934. We may remain a smaller reporting company until we have a non-affiliate public float above $250 million and annual revenues above $100 million or a non-affiliate public float above $700 million and annual revenues less than $100 million, each as determined yearly. Even after we no longer qualify as an emerging growth company, we may still be eligible as a smaller reporting company, allowing us to take advantage of many of the same exemptions from disclosure requirements.
For a description of the qualifications and other requirements applicable to emerging growth companies and certain elections that we have made due to our status as an emerging growth company, see “Risk Factors – Risks Related to the Company - “As an “emerging growth company” under the JOBS act, we can rely on exemptions from certain disclosure requirements” on page 14 of this prospectus.

RISK FACTORS
Any investment in our securities involves a high degree of risk. You should consider carefully the risks and uncertainties described below and all information contained in this prospectus, before you decide whether to purchase our securities. If any of the following risks or uncertainties actually occurs, our business, financial condition, results of operations and prospects would likely suffer, possibly materially. In addition, the trading price of our common stock could decline due to any of these risks or uncertainties, and you may lose part or all of your investment.
Risks Related to the Company
We may need to obtain additional financing, which may not be available.
We need additional funds to achieve a sustainable sales level to generate positive cash flow to fund our operations. There is no assurance that any additional financing will be available or, if available, on terms that will be acceptable to us.
We have a limited history of operations; accordingly, no track record would provide a basis for assessing our ability to conduct successful commercial activities. We may need to be more successful in carrying out our business objectives.
Our founder incorporated the Company on August 27, 2002. We have not yet produced substantial revenues to offset our operating costs and fund our expansion. We are also involved in organizational activities, obtaining growth financing, and developing our new technologies to meet the demands of our customers. In addition, we have a limited operating history from which to evaluate our performance. Our ability to achieve and maintain profitability is dependent on numerous factors, including our ability to (i) implement our business model and expand our customer base, (ii) increase revenue while controlling expenses, (iii) effectively manage cash flow, and (iv) develop our technology.
There is a substantial risk that we will not be successful in our development and sales activities or, if initially successful, in generating significant operating revenues or achieving profitable operations.
Our business strategy may result in increased volatility of revenues and earnings, resulting in uncertainty of profitability.
Our business strategy may result in increased volatility of revenues and earnings. As we will only develop a limited number of products and services at a time, our overall success will depend on a limited number of products and services, which may cause variability and unsteady profits and losses depending on the products and services offered.
Economic conditions and changes in the financial markets may adversely affect our revenues and profitability. Our business is also subject to general economic risks that could adversely impact the results of operations and financial conditions.
Because of the anticipated nature of the products and services we will attempt to develop, it is difficult to forecast revenues and operate results accurately. These items could fluctuate in the future due to several factors. These factors may include, among other things, the following:
| ● | Our ability to raise sufficient capital to take advantage of opportunities and generate adequate revenues to cover expenses, | |
| ● | Our ability to source substantial opportunities with sufficient risk-adjusted returns, | |
| ● | Our ability to manage our capital and liquidity requirements is based on changing market conditions and changes in the developing fintech industries, | |
| ● | The acceptance of the terms and conditions of our subscription-based model, | |
| ● | The amount and timing of operating and other costs and expenses, |
| 9 |
| ● | The nature and extent of competition from other companies may reduce market share and create pressure on pricing and investment return expectations, | |
| ● | Adverse changes in the national and regional economies in which we will participate, including, but not limited to, changes in our performance, capital availability, and market demand, | |
| ● | Adverse changes in the projects we plan to invest in result from factors beyond our control, including, but not limited to, a change in circumstances, capacity, and economic impacts, | |
| ● | Changes in laws, regulations, accounting, taxation, and other requirements affecting our operations and business, and | |
| ● | Our operating results may fluctuate yearly due to the above factors and others not listed. At times, these fluctuations may be significant. |
We derive a substantial portion of our revenues from a limited number of customers, which exposes us to significant business, financial, and operational risks.
Our top three customers represented 88% of the Company’s receivables as of June 30, 2025. Our company’s financial health is highly dependent on these top customers. If any of them were to significantly reduce their spending or cease doing business with your company, it could have a major impact on your revenue and overall financial health. We believe the following are the specific risks associated with this concentration:
Revenue Fluctuations: Any adverse change in our relationship with these customers, be it due to contract terminations, renegotiations, or non-renewal, could result in substantial revenue losses and adversely affect our profitability and operating results.
Pricing Pressures: These customers may exert considerable pressure on us to offer discounts or more favorable payment terms, eroding our profit margins.
Payment Risks: If any of these key customers delay or default on payments due to financial challenges, it could strain our cash flow and financial condition.
U.S. Economy Shifts: As our revenues from major customers are directly proportional to advertisement spending, any downturn or disruption in the U.S. economy could lead to reduced orders, affecting our revenue stream.
We continuously strive to expand and diversify our customer base to mitigate these risks. However, in the near to mid-term, we anticipate that a significant portion of our revenue will continue to be concentrated among these key customers. Potential investors should consider this concentration in customers an important risk factor when evaluating our business.
There is doubt that the Company can continue as a “going concern.”
Lao Professionals, our independent registered public accounting firm for the fiscal years ended December 31, 2024 and December 31, 2023, has included an explanatory paragraph in their opinion that accompanies our audited consolidated financial statements as of and for the years ended December 31, 2024 and December 31, 2023, indicating that our current financial position raises substantial doubt about our ability to continue as a going concern. If we are unable to improve our liquidity position, we may not be able to continue as a going concern. Our ability to raise the capital needed to improve our financial condition depends on the support from stockholders and its ability to obtain necessary equity financing. The accompanying consolidated financial statements do not include any adjustments that might result if we are unable to continue as a going concern and, therefore, be required to realize our assets and discharge our liabilities other than in the normal course of business, which could cause investors to suffer the loss of all or a substantial portion of their investment.
| 10 |
We may not be able to compete effectively against our competitors.
We expect intense competition from well-established and small to medium-sized public and private companies like us, which may reduce the prices of our products and services. For several reasons, we may need to be at a competitive disadvantage in obtaining the facilities, technologies, employees, financing, and other resources required to provide these products and services demanded by prospective customers. Our financial resources and other assets may limit our opportunity to obtain customers. We expect to be less able than our larger competitors to cope with the generally increasing costs and expenses of doing business.
Our business model may not be sufficient to ensure our success in our intended market.
Our survival depends on the success of our efforts to gain market acceptance and shares of our products and services in the U.S. debt management market, with the main focus on student loans. Should our target market not be as responsive to our products and services as we anticipate, we may not have alternate products or services we can offer to ensure our survival. We may not be able to develop our products and services promptly to comply with regulatory and legal changes.
We depend on our intellectual property, and our failure to protect that intellectual property could adversely affect our future growth and success.
The Company has no patents or trademarks on its proprietary technology solutions. We have not conducted formal evaluations to confirm that our technology solutions and products do not or will not infringe upon the intellectual property rights of third parties. As a result, we cannot be sure that our technology and products do not or will not infringe upon the intellectual property rights of third parties. If infringement were to occur, it would disrupt our software development, sales, and distribution of such technology solutions or products. We have generally sought to protect such proprietary intellectual property partly by confidentiality agreements and, if applicable, inventors’ rights agreements with strategic partners and employees. However, such contracts have not been put in place in every instance. We cannot guarantee these agreements protect our trade secrets and other intellectual property or proprietary rights.
Our officers, directors, and entities affiliated with us significantly influence us.
In the aggregate, the voting power represented by management and affiliated parties’ ownership of the Company’s common and preferred stock represents approximately 64.92% of the voting power of the company’s issued and outstanding capital stock. These shareholders, if acting together, will be able to significantly influence all matters requiring approval by shareholders, including the election of directors and the approval of mergers or other business combination transactions.
The loss of our key personnel or our failure to attract and retain other highly qualified personnel in the future could harm our business.
Our future performance is dependent on the ability to retain key personnel. The Company’s performance is substantially dependent on the performance of senior management. The loss of the services of any of its executive officers or other key employees could adversely affect the Company’s business, operations, and financial condition. We also plan to negotiate employment contracts with each officer. If we fail to retain and motivate our existing personnel, we may be unable to grow effectively.
Differing interpretations of established accounting policies or the accounting treatments of current transactions might necessitate us to revise our previously stated operational results.
Differing interpretations of established accounting policies or the accounting treatments of current transactions might necessitate us to revise our previously stated operational results. For instance, on September 28, 2021, we finalized an Acquisition deemed a reverse merger business transaction. We assigned the acquisition cost to the procured assets and assumed liabilities based on their projected fair values at the acquisition date. Our decision to categorize the Acquisition as a business combination relied on our comprehensive understanding of the transaction’s details and involved our judgment. Any alterations to this categorization would mean treating the transaction as a recapitalization, leading to non-recording goodwill. Such a change could significantly impact our declared operational results and require the Company to update previous submissions to the SEC, incurring additional expenses.
| 11 |
Management of growth will be necessary for us to be competitive.
Successfully expanding our business will depend on our ability to attract and manage staff, strategic business relationships, and shareholders. Specifically, we must hire skilled management and technical personnel and manage partnerships to navigate shifts in the general economic environment. The expansion can potentially place significant strains on financial, management, and operational resources, yet failure to expand will inhibit our profitability goals.
Because we are a small company and need more capital, our marketing campaigns may need more to attract enough customers to operate profitably. Our financial conditions will be adversely affected if we do not make a profit.
Since we are a small company and have little capital, we must limit our marketing activities. As such, we may not be able to attract enough customers to operate profitably. If we cannot operate profitably, our financial conditions will be negatively affected, limiting our ability to raise additional funding to increase our sales and marketing efforts.
There are challenges relating to implementing our business strategy.
Our competitors are technologically advanced, have existed longer, and often have a more established brand and market presence with substantially greater financial, marketing, personnel, and other resources. These competitors may have, among other things, lower operating costs, better knowledge, better brand awareness, better research and development facilities, better management, more effective marketing, and more efficient operations than the Company. The Company depends substantially on customers signing paid contracts to use our services. Any decline in customer contracts could adversely affect our future operating results. Future success will depend on the Company’s ability to implement the technology correctly and on time. There are possibilities for undetected errors, failures, or bugs, especially when new versions or updates are released. Such deployment may expose hidden errors, omissions, or bugs in our software. Despite testing and implementing industry-standard quality control, we may find errors, omissions, or bugs after releasing our software to customers.
The Company intends to use strategic, indirect channel third parties to promote and market its solutions, such as affiliates, distributors, and resellers. The Company may be unable to maintain successful relationships with third-channel parties (indirect sales channels), and business, operating results, and financial condition could be adversely affected.
The Company may be unable to respond to the rapid technological change in its industry, which may increase costs and competition that may adversely affect its business.
Rapidly changing technologies, frequent new product and service introductions, and evolving industry standards characterize the Company’s market. The continued growth of the Internet and intense competition in the Company’s industry exacerbate these market characteristics. The Company’s future success will depend on its ability to adapt to rapidly changing technologies by continually improving its products and services’ performance features and reliability. The Company may experience difficulties that could delay or prevent its products and services’ successful development, introduction, or marketing. In addition, any new enhancements must meet the requirements of its current and prospective users and must achieve significant market acceptance. The Company could also incur substantial costs if it needs to modify its products, services, or infrastructures to adapt to these changes.
The Company also expects new competitors to introduce products, systems, or services that are directly or indirectly competitive with the Company. These competitors may succeed in developing products, systems, and services that have greater functionality or are less costly than the Company’s products, systems, and services and may be more successful in marketing such products, systems, and services. Technological changes have lowered the cost of operating communications and computer systems and purchasing software. These changes reduce the Company’s services cost and facilitate increased competition by lowering competitors’ costs in providing similar services. This competition could increase price competition and reduce anticipated profit margins.
| 12 |
The Company’s services are offered by several other companies, and its industry is evolving.
Investors should consider the Company’s prospects regarding the risks, uncertainties, and difficulties frequently encountered by companies in their early stage of development, especially companies in the rapidly evolving financial technology industry. To be successful in this industry, the Company must, among other things:
| ● | develop and introduce functional and attractive service offerings; | |
| ● | attract and maintain a large base of consumers; | |
| ● | increase awareness of the Company brand and develop consumer loyalty; | |
| ● | establish and maintain strategic relationships with distribution partners and service providers; | |
| ● | respond to competitive and technological developments; | |
| ● | build an operations structure to support the Company’s business; and | |
| ● | attract, retain, and motivate qualified personnel. |
The Company cannot guarantee that it will achieve these goals, and its failure would adversely affect its business, prospects, financial condition, and operating results.
Some of the Company’s products and services are new and are only in the early stages of commercialization. The Company is not certain that these products and services will function as anticipated or be desirable to its intended market. If the Company’s current or future products and services fail to work correctly or do not achieve or sustain market acceptance, it could lose customers or be subject to claims that could have a material adverse effect on the Company’s business, financial condition, and operating results.
As is typical in a new and rapidly evolving industry, demand and market acceptance for recently introduced products and services are subject to high uncertainty and risk. Because the need for the Company is new and evolving, it is difficult to predict the size of this market and its growth rate, if any. The Company cannot guarantee that a need for the Company will develop or that demand for Company services will emerge or be sustainable. If the market fails to materialize, develops more slowly than expected, or becomes saturated with competitors, the Company’s business, financial condition, and operating results will be materially adversely affected.
Specific provisions of our Articles of Incorporation and Bylaws allow for the concentration of voting power in one individual, which may, among other things, delay or frustrate the removal of incumbent directors or a takeover attempt, even if such events may be beneficial to our stockholders.
The provisions of our Articles of Incorporation and bylaws may delay or frustrate the removal of incumbent directors. They may prevent or delay a merger, tender offer, or proxy contest involving the Company not approved by our Board of Directors, even if those events may benefit our stockholders’ interest. For example, David Boulette, our Chairman of the Board, President, and Chief Executive Officer, holds 19,025,000 authorized, issued, and outstanding shares of our common stock. Under our articles of incorporation, the common stock being offered in this prospectus has one vote per share on all matters presented to our stockholders for action. Consequently, the Company will be a controlled company whereby Mr. Boulette has approximately 60.70% voting power, sufficient to control the outcome of all the corporate issues submitted to the vote of our common stockholders. Those matters could include the election of directors, changes in the size and composition of the Board of Directors, and mergers and other business combinations involving the Company. In addition, through his control of the Board of Directors and voting power, he may be able to control certain decisions, including decisions regarding the qualification and appointment of officers, dividend policy, access to capital (including borrowing from third-party lenders and the issuance of additional equity securities), and the acquisition or disposition of assets by the Company. In addition, the concentration of voting power in Mr. Boulette could delay or prevent a change in control of the Company, even if the change in control would benefit our stockholders and may adversely affect the market price of our common stock.
| 13 |
If we fail to establish and maintain an effective internal control system, we may not be able to report our financial results accurately or prevent fraud. Any ability to report and file our financial results accurately and timely could harm our reputation and adversely impact the future trading price of our common stock.
Effective internal control is necessary to provide reliable financial reports and prevent fraud. Suppose we cannot provide reliable financial reports or prevent fraud. In that case, we may not be able to manage our business as effectively as we would if an effective control environment existed, and our business and reputation with investors may be harmed. As a result, our small size and current internal control deficiencies may adversely affect our financial condition, operation results, and access to capital.
Because of the Company’s limited resources, there are limited controls over information processing. There is inadequate segregation of duties consistent with control objectives. Our Company’s management is composed of a small number of individuals resulting in limitations on the segregation of duties. To remedy this situation, we would need to hire additional staff. Currently, the Company cannot hire other staff to facilitate greater segregation of duties but will reassess its capabilities in the near future.
We may need and be unable to obtain additional funding on satisfactory terms, which could dilute our stockholders or impose burdensome financial restrictions on our business.
We have relied upon cash from financing activities, and in the future, we intend to rely on revenues generated from operations to fund all the cash requirements of our activities. There is no assurance that we will be able to generate any significant cash from our operating activities in the future. Deteriorating economic conditions and the effects of ongoing military actions against terrorists may cause prolonged declines in investor confidence in and accessibility to capital markets. Future financing may not be available on time, in sufficient amounts, or on acceptable terms. This financing may also dilute existing stockholders’ equity. Any debt financing or another financing of securities senior to common stock will likely include financial and other covenants that will restrict our flexibility. At a minimum, we expect these covenants to restrict our ability to pay dividends on our common stock. Any failure to comply with these covenants would adversely affect our business, prospects, financial condition, and results of operations because we could lose our existing funding sources and impair our ability to secure new funding sources.
As an “emerging growth company” under the JOBS act, we can rely on exemptions from certain disclosure requirements.
We qualify as an “emerging growth company” under the JOBS Act. As a result, we are permitted to and intend to, rely on exemptions from certain disclosure requirements. For so long as we are an emerging growth company, we will not be required to:
| ● | have an auditor report on our internal controls over financial reporting pursuant to Section 404(b) of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act; | |
| ● | provide an auditor attestation with respect to management’s report on the effectiveness of our internal controls over financial reporting; | |
| ● | comply with any requirement that the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board may adopt regarding mandatory audit firm rotation or a supplement to the auditor’s report providing additional information about the audit and the financial statements (i.e., an auditor discussion and analysis); | |
| ● | submit certain executive compensation matters to shareholder advisory votes, such as “say-on-pay” and “say-on-frequency;” and | |
| ● | disclose certain executive compensation-related items, such as the correlation between executive compensation and performance and comparisons of the Chief Executive Officer’s compensation to median employee compensation. |
In addition, Section 107 of the JOBS Act also provides that an emerging growth company can take advantage of the extended transition period provided in Section 7(a)(2)(B) of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (“Securities Act”) to comply with new or revised accounting standards. In other words, an emerging growth company can delay the adoption of certain accounting standards until those standards would otherwise apply to private companies. We have elected not to avail ourselves of the delayed adoption of new or revised accounting standards. Therefore, we will adopt new or revised generally accepted accounting principles in the United States on the relevant dates on which adoption of such standards is required for other public companies that are not emerging growth companies.
| 14 |
The financial disclosure in a registration statement filed by an emerging growth company pursuant to the Securities Act will differ from registration statements filed by other companies as follows:
(i) audited financial statements required for only two fiscal years;
(ii) selected financial data required for only the fiscal years that were audited;
(iii) executive compensation only needs to be presented in the limited format now required for smaller reporting companies. (A smaller reporting company is one with a public float of less than $75 million as of the last day of its most recently completed second fiscal quarter)
However, the requirements for financial disclosure provided by Regulation S-K promulgated by the Rules and Regulations of the SEC already provide certain of these exemptions for smaller reporting companies. The Company is a smaller reporting company. Currently a smaller reporting company is not required to file as part of its registration statement selected financial data and only needs audited financial statements for its two most current fiscal years and no tabular disclosure of contractual obligations.
We will remain an “emerging growth company” for up to five years, or until the earliest of (i) the last day of the first fiscal year in which our total annual gross revenues is $1.07 billion, (ii) the date that we become a “large accelerated filer” as defined in Rule 12b-2 under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, which would occur if the market value of our common stock that is held by non-affiliates is $700 million as of the last business day of our most recently completed second fiscal quarter or (iii) the date on which we have issued more than $1 billion in non-convertible debt during the preceding three year period.
However, we cannot predict if investors will find our common stock less attractive because we may rely on these exemptions. If some investors find our common stock less attractive, there may be a less active trading market for our common stock, and our stock price may be more volatile.
Risks Related to our Securities and this Offering
Our executive officers and directors will continue to exercise significant control over us for the foreseeable future, which will limit our shareholders ability to influence corporate matters and could delay or prevent a change in corporate control.
Our executive officers and directors currently hold or have the right to acquire, in the aggregate, up to approximately 59.90% of our outstanding common stock. As a result, these stockholders will be able to influence our management and affairs and heavily influence the outcome of matters submitted to our stockholders for approval, including the election of directors and any sale, merger, consolidation, or sale of all or substantially all of our assets.
These stockholders may have interests, with respect to their common stock, that are different from our other stockholders and the concentration of voting power among one or more of these stockholders may have an adverse effect on the price of our common stock.
In addition, this concentration of ownership might adversely affect the market price of our common stock by: (1) delaying, deferring or preventing a change of control of our company; (2) impeding a merger, consolidation, takeover or other business combination involving our company; or (3) discouraging a potential acquirer from making a tender offer or otherwise attempting to obtain control of our company.
Investors in this offering will experience immediate and substantial dilution in net tangible book value.
The public offering price will be substantially higher than the net tangible book value per share of our outstanding shares of common stock. As a result, investors in this offering will incur immediate dilution of $3.795 per share based on the assumed public offering price of $4.125 per Unit. Investors in this offering will pay a price per share that substantially exceeds the book value of our assets after subtracting our liabilities. See “Dilution” for a more complete description of how the value of your investment will be diluted upon the completion of this offering.
| 15 |
Participation in this offering by certain of our directors and their affiliates would reduce the available public float for our shares.
It is possible that one or more of our directors or their affiliates or related parties could purchase common stock and Warrants in this offering at the public offering price and on the same terms as the other purchasers in this offering. However, these persons or entities may determine not to purchase any shares or warrants in this offering, or the underwriter may elect not to sell any shares or warrants in this offering to such persons or entities. Any purchases by our directors or their affiliates or related parties would reduce the available public float for our shares because such shareholders would be restricted from selling the common stock and warrants by a lock-up agreement they have entered into with the underwriter and by restrictions under applicable securities laws. As a result, any purchase of common stock and warrants by such shareholders in this offering may reduce the liquidity of our common stock relative to what it would have been had these common stock and warrants been purchased by investors that were not affiliated with us.
Our management will have broad discretion over the use of proceeds from this offering and may not use the proceeds effectively.
Our management will have broad discretion over the use of proceeds from this offering. We intend to use the net proceeds from this offering to provide funding for the following purposes: inventory, research and development, salaries and wages, professional services, and capital expenditures. Our management will have considerable discretion in the application of the net proceeds, and you will not have the opportunity, as part of your investment decision, to assess whether the proceeds are being used appropriately. The net proceeds may be used for corporate purposes that do not improve our operating results or enhance the value of our securities.
Our expected use of net proceeds from this offering represents our current intentions based upon our present plans and business condition. As of the date of this prospectus, we cannot predict with certainty all of the particular uses for the net proceeds to be received upon the completion of this offering. The amounts and timing of our actual use of the net proceeds will vary depending on numerous factors, including amount of cash used in our operations, which can be highly uncertain, subject to substantial risks and can often change. Our management will have broad discretion in the application of the net proceeds, and investors will be relying on our judgment regarding the application of the net proceeds of this offering.
The failure by our management to apply these funds effectively could harm our business. Pending their use, we may invest the net proceeds from this offering in short-term, investment-grade, interest-bearing securities. These investments may not yield a favorable return to our stockholders. If we do not invest or apply the net proceeds from this offering in ways that enhance stockholder value, we may fail to achieve expected financial results, which could cause our stock price to decline.
Warrants are speculative in nature.
The Warrants offered in this offering do not confer any rights of common stock ownership on their holders, such as voting rights or the right to receive dividends, but rather merely represent the right to acquire shares of our common stock at a fixed price for a limited period of time. In addition, there is no established trading market for the Warrants and, although we have applied to list the warrants on Nasdaq, there can be no assurance that an active trading market will develop.
Holders of the Warrants will have no rights as a common stockholder until they acquire our common stock.
Until holders of the Warrants acquire shares of our common stock upon exercise of the Warrants, the holders will have no rights with respect to shares of our common stock issuable upon exercise of the Warrants. Upon exercise of the Warrants, the holder will be entitled to exercise the rights of a common stockholder as to the security exercised only as to matters for which the record date occurs after the exercise.
There is no established market for the Warrants to purchase shares of our common stock being offered in this offering.
There is no established trading market for the warrants. Although we have applied to list the warrants on the Nasdaq Capital Market there can be no assurance that there will be an active trading market for the Warrants. Without an active trading market, the liquidity of the warrants will be limited.
Provisions of the Warrants offered by this prospectus could discourage an acquisition of us by a third party.
Certain provisions of the Warrants offered by this prospectus could make it more difficult or expensive for a third party to acquire us. The Warrants prohibit us from engaging in certain transactions constituting “fundamental transactions” unless, among other things, the surviving entity assumes our obligations under the warrants. These and other provisions of the Warrants offered by this prospectus could prevent or deter a third party from acquiring us even where the acquisition could be beneficial to you.
| 16 |
We do not anticipate paying dividends on our common stock, and investors may lose the entire amount of their investment.
Cash dividends have never been declared or paid on our common stock, and we do not anticipate such a declaration or payment for the foreseeable future. We expect to use future earnings, if any, to fund business growth. Therefore, stockholders will not receive any funds absent a sale of their shares of common stock. If we do not pay dividends, our common stock may be less valuable because a return on your investment will only occur if our stock price appreciates. We cannot assure stockholders of a positive return on their investment when they sell their shares, nor can we assure that stockholders will not lose the entire amount of their investment.
Our stock price may be volatile.
The market price of our common stock is likely to be highly volatile and could fluctuate widely in price in response to various factors, many of which are beyond our control, including the following:
| ● | changes in our industry; |
| ● | competitive pricing pressures; |
| ● | our ability to obtain working capital financing; |
| ● | additions or departures of key personnel; |
| ● | conversions from preferred stock to common stock; |
| ● | sales of our common and preferred stock; |
| ● | our ability to execute our business plan; |
| ● | operating results that fall below expectations; |
| ● | loss of any strategic relationship; |
| ● | regulatory developments; and economic and other external factors. |
In addition, the securities markets have from time to time experienced significant price and volume fluctuations that are unrelated to the operating performance of particular companies. These market fluctuations may also materially and adversely affect the market price of our common stock.
In the future, we may issue additional shares of common stock, which would reduce investors’ percentage of ownership and dilute our share value.
Our Articles of Incorporation authorize the issuance of 300,000,000 shares of common stock. As of August 25, 2025, the Company had 31,342,285 shares of common stock issued and outstanding. The future issuance of common and/or preferred stock may result in substantial dilution in the percentage of our common stock held by our then-existing shareholders. We may value any common stock in the future on an arbitrary basis. The issuance of common stock for future services or, acquisitions or other corporate actions may dilute the value of the shares held by our investors and might have an adverse effect on any trading market for our common stock.
We are subject to the periodic reporting requirements of the Exchange Act, which require us to incur audit fees and legal fees for preparing such reports. These additional costs will negatively affect our ability to earn a profit.
We are currently subject to the periodic reporting requirements of the Exchange Act. To comply with such requirements, our independent registered auditors will have to review our financial statements quarterly and audit our financial statements annually. Moreover, our legal counsel will have to review and assist in preparing such reports. Although the approximately $180,000 we have estimated for these costs should be sufficient for the 12 months following the completion of our offering, the costs charged by these professionals for such services may vary significantly. Factors such as the number and type of transactions that we engage in and the complexity of our reports cannot accurately be determined now and may have a significant negative effect on the cost and amount of time to be spent by our auditors and attorneys. However, the incurrence of such costs will be an expense to our operations and thus have a negative effect on our ability to meet our overhead requirements and earn a profit.
However, for as long as we remain an “emerging growth company” as defined in the Jumpstart Our Business Startups Act of 2012, we intend to take advantage of certain exemptions from various reporting requirements that apply to other public companies that are not “emerging growth companies” including, but not limited to, not being required to comply with the auditor attestation requirements of Section 404 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act, reduced disclosure obligations regarding executive compensation in our periodic reports and proxy statements, and exemptions from the requirements of holding a nonbinding advisory vote on executive compensation and shareholder approval of any golden parachute payments not previously approved. We intend to take advantage of these reporting exemptions until we are no longer an “emerging growth company.” We will remain an “emerging growth company” for up to five years, or until the earliest of (i) the last day of the first fiscal year in which our annual gross revenues exceed $1.07 billion, (ii) the date that you become a “large accelerated filer” as defined in Rule 12b-2 under the Exchange Act, which would occur if the market value of our common stock that is held by non-affiliates exceeds $700 million as of the last business day of our most recently completed second fiscal quarter, or (iii) the date on which we have issued more than $1 billion in non-convertible debt during the preceding three year period.
After, and if ever, we are no longer an “emerging growth company,” we expect to incur significant additional expenses and devote substantial management effort toward ensuring compliance with those requirements applicable to companies that are not “emerging growth companies,” including Section 404 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act.
We are not likely to issue dividends for the foreseeable future.
We cannot assure you that our proposed operations will generate sufficient revenues to enable profitable operations or generate positive cash flow. For the foreseeable future, we anticipate using any funds available to finance the company’s growth and will not pay cash dividends to stockholders. Unless we pay dividends, our stockholders will not be able to receive a return on their shares unless they sell them. There is no assurance that stockholders will be able to sell shares when desired.

Our ability to uplist our common stock to a national exchange is contingent on our meeting applicable initial listing criteria.
We have applied for our common stock to be listed on NASDAQ and may apply for it be listed on a different national securities exchange. Each exchange requires companies desiring to list their common stock to meet certain listing criteria including total number of stockholders; minimum stock price, total value of public float, and in some cases total stockholders’ equity and market capitalization. Our failure to meet such applicable listing criteria would prevent us from listing our common stock on such a national exchange. In the event we are unable to uplist our common stock, our common stock will continue to be quoted on the OTCQB, which is generally considered less liquid and more volatile than a national securities exchange. Our failure to uplist our common stock could make it more difficult for you to trade our common stock, could prevent our common stock trading on a frequent and liquid basis and could result in the value of our common stock being less than it would be if we were able to uplist.
If our application to uplist is approved, our failure to meet the continued listing requirements of the national exchange could result in a delisting of our common stock.
If our application to list our common stock on a national exchange is approved, and thereafter we fail to satisfy the continued listing requirements of the national exchange, such as the corporate governance requirements or the minimum closing bid price requirement, the national exchange may take steps to delist our common stock. Such a delisting would likely have a negative effect on the price of our common stock and would impair your ability to sell or purchase our common stock when you wish to do so. In the event of a delisting, we anticipate that we would take actions to restore our compliance with the national exchange’s listing requirements, but we can provide no assurance that any such action taken by us would allow our common stock to remain listed on the national exchange, stabilize our market price, improve the liquidity of our common stock, prevent our common stock from dropping below the national exchange’s minimum bid price requirement, or prevent future non-compliance with the national exchange’s listing requirements.
CAUTIONARY NOTE REGARDING FORWARD-LOOKING STATEMENTS
This prospectus contains “forward-looking statements” within the meaning of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995. All statements other than statements of historical fact are “forward-looking statements” for purposes of federal and state securities laws, including, but not limited to, any projections of earnings, revenue or other financial items; any statements of the plans, strategies, and objectives of management for future operations; any statements concerning proposed new products or developments; any statements regarding future economic conditions or performance; any statements of belief; and any statements of assumptions underlying any of the foregoing. Although we believe that the expectations reflected in our forward-looking statements are reasonable, actual results could differ materially from those projected or assumed in any of our forward-looking statements. Our future financial condition, operations results, and any forward-looking statements are subject to change and inherent risks and uncertainties.
Forward-looking statements may include the words “may,” “could,” “will,” “estimate,” “intend,” “continue,” “believe,” “expect,” “desire,” “goal,” “should,” “objective,” “seek,” “plan,” “strive” or “anticipate,” as well as variations of such words or similar expressions, or the negatives of these words. Factors that could cause actual results and outcomes to differ from those reflected in forward-looking statements include, among others, the following:
●estimates of our addressable market, market growth, future revenue, expenses, capital requirements and our needs for additional financing;
●the implementation of our business model and strategic plans for our products and technologies;
●competitive companies and technologies and our industry;
●our ability to develop and commercialize new products;
●our ability to establish and maintain intellectual property protection for our products or avoid or defend claims of infringement;
●our ability to hire and retain key personnel and to manage our future growth effectively;
●our ability to obtain additional financing in future offerings;
●our expectations regarding use of proceeds from this offering;
●the potential effects of government regulation; and
●our expectations about market trends.
We discuss many of these risks in greater detail under the section titled “Risk Factors.” Given these uncertainties, you should not place undue reliance on these forward-looking statements. These forward-looking statements present our estimates and assumptions only as of the date of this Form 10-K. Except for our ongoing obligation to disclose material information as required by federal securities laws, we do not intend and undertake no obligation to update any forward-looking statement. We caution readers not to place undue reliance on any such forward-looking statements. Should one or more of these risks or uncertainties materialize or underlying assumptions prove incorrect, actual outcomes will likely vary materially from those indicated.
USE OF PROCEEDS
We estimate that the net proceeds to us from this offering will be approximately $4,499,999, or approximately $5,197,498 if the underwriters exercise their over-allotment option in full, based on a public offering price of $4.125 per Unit, after deducting the estimated underwriting discounts and commissions and estimated offering expenses payable by us.
We intend to use the net proceeds from this offering as follows:
| ● | approximately $2,500,000 on acquisitions; | |
| ● | approximately $750,000 on research and development; | |
| ● | approximately $580,000 on salaries and wages; | |
| ● | approximately $420,000 on professional services; and | |
| ● | approximately $250,000 on capital expenditures. |
Our management will have broad discretion to allocate the net proceeds to us from this offering and investors will be relying on the judgment of our management regarding the application of the proceeds from this offering. We reserve the right to change the use of these proceeds as a result of certain contingencies such as competitive developments, the results of our marketing efforts, acquisition and investment opportunities and other factors. An investor will not have the opportunity to evaluate the economic, financial or other information on which we base our decisions on how to use the proceeds.
We believe that the net proceeds from this offering will allow us to operate for at least the next 12 months. We may need additional funding for developing new products and for additional sales, marketing and promotional activities. Should this occur, we may need to seek additional capital earlier than anticipated. In the event we require additional capital, there can be no assurances that we will be able to raise such capital on acceptable terms, or at all.
| 18 |
DETERMINATION OF OFFERING PRICE
Prior to this offering, there was no active public market for our common stock and no public market at all for the Warrants. The offering price of the common stock was determined in negotiations between us and the underwriters. The exercise price of the Warrants was also determined in negotiations between us and the underwriters. Among the factors considered in determining the offering price of the common stock were: our capital structure and historical and projected financial performance; prevailing market conditions and valuations for comparable publicly traded companies; the current state of the securities markets, particularly for emerging growth companies; estimates of our business potential and earnings prospects; and the demand expected by the underwriters for the securities in this offering. Among the factors considered in determining the exercise price of the Warrants were: the public offering price of the common stock in this offering; the term of the Warrants and the price protection features, if any; the relationship of the exercise price to the market price of the common stock following the Offering; and the market conditions for similar equity-linked securities. Neither we nor the underwriters can assure investors that an active trading market for the common stock or the Warrants will develop, or that after the offering the common stock or the Warrants will trade in the public market at or above their offering price.
DIVIDEND POLICY
We have never declared dividends on our equity securities, and currently do not plan to declare dividends on shares of our common stock in the foreseeable future. We expect to retain our future earnings, if any, for use in the operation and expansion of our business. Subject to the foregoing, the payment of cash dividends in the future, if any, will be at the discretion of our Board of Directors and will depend upon such factors as earnings levels, capital requirements, our overall financial condition and any other factors deemed relevant by our Board of Directors. Therefore, we cannot assure you that we will pay any cash dividends or other distributions to holders of our common stock, or as to the amount of any such cash dividends or other distributions.
CAPITALIZATION
The following table sets forth our cash and cash equivalents and capitalization as of June 30, 2025, on:
| ● | an actual basis; and | |
| ● | an as adjusted basis. |
The information in this table is illustrative only and our capitalization following the closing of the offering will be adjusted based upon the actual public offering price and other terms of this offering determined at pricing.
| Actual | As Adjusted | |||||||
| Cash and cash equivalents | $ | 261,079 | $ | 4,761,078 | ||||

| Common stock, $0.0001 par value; 300,000,000 shares authorized, 31,342,285 shares issued and outstanding as of June 30, 2025. | 3,134 | 3,255 | ||||||
| Additional paid-in capital | $ | 30,033,430 | $ | 35,033,308 | ||||
| Accumulated deficit | $ | (23,848,880 | ) | $ | (24,348,880 | ) | ||

| Total capitalization | $ | 9,115,225 | $ | 13,615,224 | ||||
The number of shares of our common stock to be outstanding following this offering, or 33,766,527 shares, is based upon the shares of common stock issued and outstanding as of June 30, 2025, and excludes:
| ● | 1,212,121 shares of common stock issuable upon the exercise of Warrants to be issued to investors in this offering; and | |
| ● | 84,848 shares of common stock issuable upon the exercise of the Underwriter Warrants to be issued to the underwriters. |
An increase or decrease in the number of Units offered by us of 100,000 Units, based on the public offering price of $4.125 per Unit, would increase or decrease our cash and cash equivalents, additional paid-in capital, total stockholders’ equity and total capitalization by approximately $180,000, after deducting the estimated underwriting discounts and commissions and estimated offering expenses payable by us.
| 19 |
DILUTION
If you invest in our Units in this offering, your ownership interest will be immediately diluted to the extent of the difference between the assumed public offering price per share of our common stock that is part of the Unit and the net tangible book value per share of our common stock immediately after the closing of this offering. Our net tangible book value is the amount of our total tangible assets less our total liabilities. Net tangible book value per share is our net tangible book value divided by the number of shares of common stock outstanding as of June 30, 2025. Our net tangible book value as of June 30, 2025 was $6,187,684, or $0.20 per share.
After giving effect to the sale and issuance by us of the Units in this offering at the public offering price of $4.125 per Unit, and the receipt and application of the net proceeds, and after deducting estimated underwriting discounts and commissions and estimated offering expenses payable by us, as well as the conversion or exchange of all our existing convertible notes into common stock, our net tangible book value as of June 30, 2025 would have been approximately $10,687,683 or $0.33 per share of common stock. This represents an immediate increase in net tangible book value of $0.13 per share to our existing stockholders and an immediate dilution of $3.795 per share to investors purchasing common stock as part of the Units in this offering.
The following table illustrates the dilution to the new investors on a per-share basis:
| Public offering price per share (attributing to value to the Warrants) | $ | 4.125 | ||||||
| Increase in net tangible book value per share attributable to shares offered hereby | $ | $ | 0.13 | |||||
| As adjusted net tangible book value per share after offering | $ | 0.33 | ||||||
| Dilution in net tangible book value per share to investors in offering | $ | 3.795 |
Each $1.00 increase (decrease) in the assumed public offering price of $4.125 per Unit, would increase (decrease) as adjusted net tangible book value per share after offering by $0.03, and would increase (decrease) dilution per share to new investors in this offering by $0.97, assuming that the number of Units offered by us, as set forth on the cover page of this prospectus, remains the same, and after deducting estimated underwriting discounts and commissions and estimated offering expenses payable by us. Similarly, each increase or decrease of 100,000 in the number of shares of common stock as part of the Units offered by us would increase (decrease) our as adjusted net tangible book value after offering by approximately $0.01 per share and increase (decrease) the dilution to new investors by $0.01 per share, assuming the assumed public offering price remains the same, and after deducting the estimated underwriting discounts and commissions and estimated offering expenses payable by us.
The information discussed above is illustrative only and will change based on the actual public offering price, number of shares and other terms of this offering determined at pricing.
The following table sets forth the differences between our existing stockholders and the purchasers of shares of common stock in this offering with respect to the number of shares of common stock purchased from us, the total consideration paid to us and the weighted average price paid per share paid to us, based on a public offering price of $4.125 per Unit, before deducting underwriting discounts and commissions and estimated offering expenses payable by us.

| Shares Purchased | Total Consideration | Weighted Average Price | ||||||||||||||||||
| Number | Percent | Amount | Percent | per Share | ||||||||||||||||
| Existing stockholders | 31,342,285 | 96.28 | % | $ | 6,187,684 | 55.31 | % | $ | 0.200 | |||||||||||
| Existing convertible securityholders | - | - | % | $ | - | - | % | $ | - | |||||||||||
| New investors | 1,212,121 | 3.72 | % | $ | 4,999,999 | 44.69 | % | $ | 4.125 | |||||||||||
| Total | 32,554,406 | 100.00 | % | $ | 11,187,683 | 100.00 | % | $ | 0.344 | |||||||||||
If the underwriters exercise in full their option to purchase additional shares of our common stock in this offering, the number of shares held by existing stockholders and existing note holders will be reduced to 95.60% of the total number of shares of common stock that will be outstanding upon completion of this offering, and the number of shares of common stock held by new investors participating in this offering will be further increased to 4.40% of the total number of shares of common stock that will be outstanding upon completion of the offering.
To the extent that we issue any additional convertible securities or we issue additional shares of common stock in the future, there will be further dilution to investors participating in this offering. If all of our outstanding convertible securities, other than the option held by the underwriters were exercised, then our existing stockholders, including holders of such options, would own 96.40% and our new investors would own 3.60% of the total number of shares of our common stock outstanding upon the completion of this offering. In such event, the total consideration paid by our existing stockholders, including the holders of such options and warrants, would be approximately $11,184,683, or 68.90%, the total consideration paid by our new investors would be $5,000,000, or 31.10% of the total consideration for our common stock outstanding upon the completion of this offering, and the weighted average price per share paid by our existing stockholders would be $[ ] and the average price per share paid by our new investors would be $4.125.
A $1.00 increase or decrease in the public offering price of $4.125 per Unit, would increase or decrease, as appropriate, the total consideration paid by new investors by $1,212,121 assuming the number of Units we are offering, as set forth on the cover page of this prospectus, remains the same, after deducting underwriting discounts and commissions and estimated offering expenses payable by us. We may also increase or decrease the number of shares we are offering. Similarly, each increase or decrease of 100,000 Units in the number of Units offered by us would increase or decrease, as appropriate, the total consideration paid by new investors by $412,500, assuming that the assumed initial price to the public remains the same, and after deducting underwriting discounts and commissions and estimated offering expenses payable by us.
We may choose to raise additional capital through the sale of equity or equity-linked securities due to market conditions or strategic considerations even if we believe we have sufficient funds for our current or future operating plans. To the extent that any options are issued under our equity incentive plan or we issue additional shares of common stock or equity-linked securities in the future, there will be further dilution to investors purchasing in this offering.
The number of shares of our common stock to be outstanding following this offering, or 33,766,527 shares, is based upon (i) the shares of common stock issued and outstanding as of June 30, 2025, plus (ii) 1,212,121 shares of common stock issuable upon the exercise of Warrants to be issued to investors in this offering; and (iii) the issuance of 1,212,121 shares of common stock issuable upon the exercise of the Warrants, and excludes 84,848 shares of common stock issuable upon the exercise of the Underwriter’s Warrants to be issued to the underwriters.

MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
Corporate History
The Company was incorporated under the laws of the State of Nevada on August 27, 2002, as International Pit Boss Gaming, Inc. On October 1, 2002, the Company merged with Pro Roads Systems, Inc., a Florida corporation and a public shell company listed on the Pink Sheets. Pro Roads Systems, Inc. had no operations before the merger. The purpose of the merger was to change the Company’s domicile from Florida to Nevada. From its inception to 2006, the Company designed and developed software for the gaming industry. The Company changed its name on February 14, 2006, to Logo Industries Corporation and, on November 18, 2008, to Malwin Ventures Inc. On February 11, 2014, the Company announced that it had entered into negotiations with Impact Future Media LLC, and its President and Founder, Francois Garcia, acquired 100% of Impact Future Media LLC and its media and entertainment assets. The Company announced the closing of this transaction on March 25, 2014. From March 2014 to September 28, 2021, the Company was involved in the entertainment, publishing, and interactive industries.
On September 28, 2021, the Acquisition Date, the Company merged into EvaMedia. Upon completion of the reverse merger, the Company acquired all issued and outstanding shares of EvaMedia’s capital stock. As a result, the Company issued 110,192,177 shares of the Company’s common stock to shareholders of EvaMedia, and immediately following the Acquisition, 111,169,525 shares of common stock were issued and outstanding. As a result, EvaMedia’s shareholders control 99.12% of the issued and outstanding shares of the Company on a fully diluted basis. Following the Acquisition, David Boulette of EvaMedia became the Company’s CEO, director, and controlling shareholder. He appointed two additional board members from EvaMedia, Phil Aspin and Daryl Walser. Terry Fields remained the only member of the Board of Directors of the Company.
We deemed EvaMedia as an accounting acquirer based on the following facts: (i) after the reverse merger, former shareholders of EvaMedia held a majority of the voting interest of the combined company; (ii) former Board of Directors of EvaMedia possess majority control of the Board of Directors of the combined company; (iii) members of the management of EvaMedia are responsible for the management of the combined company. As such, we have treated the financial statements of EvaMedia as the historical financial statements of the combined company, and (iv) EvaMedia’s relative size, measured in assets and revenues, is significantly larger than that of the Company.
We have identified the Company as the legal acquirer, as it is the entity that issued securities. Comparatively, we have identified EvaMedia as the legal acquiree, the entity whose equity interests are acquired.
Since September 28, 2021, the Acquisition Date, the Company has operated at the junction of digital marketing and media monetization.
On September 9, 2021, the Company completed a reverse split in the amount of 1-for-150, changed the Company’s name to Eva Live Inc., changed the Company’s trading symbol from “MLWN” to “GOAI,” and executed an Acquisition Agreement resulting in a change of control of the Company. On September 10, 2021, the Financial Industry Regulatory Authority (“FINRA”) announced the effectiveness of a change in the Company’s name from “Malwin Ventures, Inc.” to “Eva Live, Inc.” and a change in the Company’s ticker symbol from “MLWN” to the new trading symbol “GOAI”. Trading under the new ticker symbol began at market opening on July 11, 2021.
On February 4, 2025, the Company effected the Reverse Stock Split. As a result of the Reverse Stock Split, every four (4) shares of issued and outstanding shares of common stock were combined into one (1) validly issued, fully paid and non-assessable share of common stock. FINRA announced the Reverse Stock Split on February 10, 2025. The common stock will start trading on a split-adjusted basis on OTC Markets at the market open on February 11, 2025. The trading symbol for the Common Stock continued to be “GOAI” after the Reverse Stock Split, and the CUSIP for the common stock changed to 298892209.
The Company’s year-end is December 31.
Current Operations
We execute our business through the Platform based on Artificial Intelligence, or AI, to match advertising campaigns to specific ad spots one at a time. Our system creates conversion mapping tables that allow us to increase conversion rates by analyzing those trends with optimized historical conversion rates and further capitalizing on and improving those rates. We leverage “big data,” an accumulation of data that is too large and complex for traditional database management tools to process. Since more companies are attempting to leverage big data to make strategic business decisions, we have built automated tools that analyze the data and feed the relevant information into our decision logic. We have designed our solution to optimize brand campaigns to create brand awareness and direct response campaigns with a fixed conversion point.
Since September 28, 2021, the Company has operated at the junction of digital marketing and media monetization. We enable market awareness of companies and brands by providing best-in-class digital marketing and monetization services on the Internet. Our typical customers are advertising agencies (classified under SIC7319) and businesses in various industries seeking to market their products and services using our platform, including media companies, financial institutions, and other retail entities. Most of our customers are from North America, mainly the US and Canada. As of June 30, 2025 and December 31, 2024, we had eleven (11) and six (6) customers, respectively, primarily from North America. The top three customers represent 88% and 85% of the Company’s receivables as of June 30, 2025 and December 31, 2024, respectively. Our Company’s financial health is highly dependent on these top customers. If any of them were to significantly reduce their spending or cease doing business with your company, it could have a major impact on your revenue and overall financial health. These clients utilize our platform to advertise with media outlets and participate in media buying services, including acquiring online traffic through the Eva Platform. We also deal with businesses (as described under NAICS 541810) that utilize our in-house digital marketing capabilities, including advice, creative services, account management, production of advertising material, media planning, and buying (i.e., placing advertising).
| 22 |
In November 2020, the Company completed the development of the Platform, where the Platform buys traffic from various sources and sells that traffic to landing pages that display advertising via XML feeds. A price discrepancy exists between buying traffic on display and native platforms for specific keywords in an ad campaign and the XML search feeds. The Platform manages the entire ad buying/selling process by integrating into Google, Microsoft, Taboola, Revcontent, Gemini, and Facebook. The Platform creates thousands of ads with the push of a button. The Platform manages the spending depending on the performance of keywords in the ad campaign to maximize the arbitrage revenue.
The Company earns revenues from advertisers by signing purchase or insertion orders based on Standard Advertising Terms, a standard for conducting business for media companies and advertising agencies set by the Interactive Advertising Bureau and the American Association of Advertising Agency, two advertising industry self-regulatory groups. We intend to offer media companies and advertising agencies a standard for conducting business that is acceptable to both parties based on such terms and conditions. When incorporated into an insertion order, this protocol represents the Company and its customers’ shared understanding of doing business. The Company may also sign additional documents to cover sponsorships and other arrangements involving content association, integration, and special production. The Company considers an insertion order with its customers a binding contract with the customer or other similar documentation reflecting the terms and conditions under which it provides products or services. As a result, the Company considers the insertion order persuasive evidence of an arrangement. Each insertion is specific to the customer, defines each party’s fee schedule, duties, and responsibilities, and is governed by the Standard Advertising Terms as to renewal and termination terms, confidentiality agreement, dispute resolution, and other clauses necessary for such contract.
We sign the Interactive Advertising Bureau (IAB) and the American Association of Advertising Agencies (4As) standard terms and conditions for internet advertising for media buys one year or less. We execute an Insertion Order (IO) with our customers, a formal, contractual document used in advertising. It outlines the specifics of an advertising campaign a client has agreed to run with an advertising sales agency or a publisher. It serves as a purchase order but for media space or time slots, and its primary function is to specify the obligations of all parties involved. We comply with the IO, including all Ad placement restrictions, and provide Ads to the Site specified on the IO when an Internet user visits the Site. We sent the initial invoice upon completion of the first month’s delivery or within 30 days of completion of the IO, whichever is earlier. Our customers will make payment 30 days from receipt of the invoice or as otherwise stated in a payment schedule set forth on the IO. We hold customers liable for payments solely to the extent proceeds have cleared from Advertiser to Agency for Ads placed following the IO. We provide reports at least as often as weekly, either electronically or in writing, unless otherwise specified on the IO. Our customers may cancel the entire IO, or any portion thereof, as follows:
| ● | With 14 days prior written notice to us, without penalty, for any guaranteed Deliverable, including, but not limited to, CPM (cost per thousand impressions) Deliverables. | |
| ● | With seven (7) days prior written notice to us, without penalty, for any non-guaranteed Deliverable, including, but not limited to, CPC (cost per clicks) Deliverables, CPL (cost per leads) Deliverables, or CPA (cost per acquisition) Deliverables, as well as some non-guaranteed CPM Deliverables. | |
| ● | With 30 days prior written notice to us, without penalty, for any flat fee-based or fixed-placement Deliverables. | |
| ● | Either party may terminate an IO at any time if the other party is in material breach of its obligations hereunder, which breach is not cured within ten days after receipt of written notice thereof from the non-breaching party. |
Our contract includes other standard terms and conditions, including but not limited to force majeure, indemnification, limitation of liability, non-disclosure, data usage and ownership, privacy and laws, third-party ad serving and tracking (applicable if third-party ad server is used), and other legally binding clauses.

Reverse Capitalization
After the SEC’s order on BF Borgers CPA in May 2024, the Company reevaluated the significant transaction as reverse capitalization instead of a reverse acquisition. On the Acquisition Date, the Company entered a reverse capitalization transaction, the Acquisition, with EvaMedia. As per SEC 7050 – Reverse Mergers, a reverse recapitalization is a transaction in which a shell company (as defined in Exchange Act Rule 12b-2) issues its equity interests to effect the acquisition of an operating company. Reverse recapitalization is accounted for as a capital transaction equivalent to the operating company (i.e., the accounting acquirer, EvaMedia) issuing its equity for the net assets of the shell company, followed by recapitalization. A reverse recapitalization is not accounted for as a business combination because the shell company is not a business. Since reverse recapitalization is not accounted for as a business combination, no goodwill would be recorded because of the reverse recapitalization transaction. Therefore, we have eliminated goodwill of $2,010,606 as of December 31, 2024. Rather, any excess of the fair value of the shares issued by the operating company over the value of the net monetary assets of the shell company is recognized as a reduction to equity. In a reverse recapitalization, the legal acquirer/issuer is a shell company, the Company.
AdFlare Acquisition
On July 13, 2022, the Company entered into the AdFlare SEA with AdFlare and the shareholders of AdFlare, Phil Aspin, an individual and Stephen Adds, an individual. Pursuant to the AdFlare SEA, the Company acquired one hundred percent (100%) of the issued and outstanding shares of AdFlare in exchange for 500,000 shares of the Company’s restricted common stock valued at $1,500,000 using the discounted cash flow methodology. Mr. Phil Aspin, co-founder of AdFlare, has served as a member of the Company’s Board of Directors since September 28, 2021. The Company carried out the Goodwill Impairment Analysis as of December 31, 2022, where the carrying value of Goodwill as of December 31, 2022 is $1,500,000. The fair market value of the implied goodwill is approximately $0, which is less than the carrying value, and thus the impairment as of December 31, 2022 is $1,500,000.
AdFlare, a wholly owned subsidiary of the Company, is a leader in the specialized field of “Header Bidding,” with a deep contextual understanding of an array of ad technologies spanning search, display, and video across mobile and desktop, providing solutions to help all publishers drive revenue. Header bidding, also known as advance or pre-bidding, is a technology wherein publishers simultaneously offer their inventory to multiple ad exchanges, advertisers, and agencies. The idea is that by letting various buyers bid on the same inventory at the same time, in real-time, there is more competition driving up the auction pressure and a chance to serve each impression at a higher CPM rate, meaning capturing additional revenue. AdFlare has a track record of delivering over 1 billion ad impressions a month and increasing Google AdX over Google AdSense CPM by over 30%, with an average fill rate of 99.9% in the US market.
Recent Developments
On February 4, 2025, the Company effected a 1-for-4 Reverse Stock Split, pursuant to which every four (4) shares of issued and outstanding common stock were combined into one (1) validly issued, fully paid and non-assessable share of common stock. The Reverse Stock Split uniformly affected all issued and outstanding shares of common stock and did not alter any stockholder’s percentage ownership interest in the Company, except to the extent that the Reverse Stock Split resulted in fractional interests. No fractional shares were issued in connection with the Reverse Stock Split. Stockholders who otherwise would have been entitled to receive fractional shares of common stock were entitled to receive one whole share.

The number of customers for the six months ended June 30, 2025 and 2024 was eleven (11) and four (4), respectively. Additionally, this increase in revenue was further bolstered by the larger size of the contracts secured during the six months concluding on June 30, 2025.

Fiscal Years Ended December 31, 2024 and December 31, 2023
The Company has consolidated the income statements for the fiscal year ending December 31, 2024 and 2023. We derived all revenues from the principal-based model for the fiscal year ending December 31, 2024 and 2023. The Company generated revenues of $9,330,971 and $5,096,543 for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2024 and 2023. The increase in revenue was mainly due to an increase in clients’ spending for the fiscal year ended December 2023 to December 2024. The Company incurred a net loss of $3,753,268 and $6,610,119 during the fiscal year ended December 31, 2024, and 2023. The decrease in loss for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2024, was mainly due to a decrease in share-based expenses for the Company’s management.
During the fiscal year ended December 31, 2024, and 2023, the Company incurred general & administrative costs (“G and A”) of $7,484,914 and $8,678,441; the G and A expenses were 80.22% and 170.28% of the revenue. The decrease in G and A expenses from the fiscal year ended December 31, 2023 to the fiscal year ended December 31, 2024 was mainly due to reduced share-based expenses for the Company’s management. During the fiscal year ended December 31, 2024 and 2023, the Company spent $5,570,972 and $2,834,723 on buying media traffic, respectively. During the fiscal year ended December 31, 2024, and 2023, the media traffic expenses were 59.70% and 55.62% of the revenue. During the fiscal year ended December 31, 2024 and 2023, the amortization and depreciation expenses were $0 and $193,498.
For the fiscal year ended December 31, 2024, and 2023, the office’s rent payment was $2,748 and $2,748, included in the G and A.
LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES
As of June 30, 2025 and December 31, 2024, the Company had $261,079 and $76,356 in cash, respectively to execute its business plan. As of June 30, 2025, and December 31, 2024, the Company had accumulated deficits of $23,848,880 and $28,469,675, respectively. The Company had a working capital surplus of $6,078,645 and $1,560,391 as of June 30, 2025, and December 31, 2024, respectively.
| 26 |
At December 31, 2024 and December 31, 2023, the Company had $76,356 and $472,509 cash to execute its business plan, representing a decrease of $396,153 from the fiscal year ending December 31, 2023 to the fiscal year ending December 31, 2024due to ongoing operational cash burn. At December 31, 2024, and December 31, 2023, the Company had accumulated a deficit of $28,469,675 and $24,716,407, representing an increase of $3,753,268 from the fiscal year ending December 31, 2023 to the fiscal year ending December 31, 2024 due to net loss incurred in the fiscal year ending December 31, 2024. The working capital surplus and deficit as of December 31, 2024, and 2023 were $1,560,391 and $652,446.
Since its inception, the Company has sustained losses and negative cash flows from operations. The Company’s management believes that the Company’s cash on hand may not be sufficient to meet its working capital and corporate development needs as they become due in the ordinary course of business over the next twelve (12) months following June 30, 2025. The Company had not generated significant revenues or cash flow from operations in the past or for the three months ended June 30, 2025. Prior to the fiscal quarter ended June 30, 2025, the Company had experienced negative cash flows from operations and the ongoing requirement for substantial additional capital investment to develop its financial technologies. We expect to conduct our planned operations for twelve months using currently available capital resources. The Company’s management anticipates raising significant additional capital to achieve its growth plan over the next twelve months. We do not have any plans or specific agreements for new funding sources. Management expects to seek additional funding through private equity or public markets. However, there can be no assurance about the availability or terms, such as financing and capital, that might be available.
Over the next twelve months, the Company will continue to invest in sales, marketing, product support, technology development, and the enhancement of existing technology solutions to serve our customers. We expect capital expenditure to increase to up to $250,000 over the next twelve months to support growth, primarily through software development, acquisition of complementary software, and the purchase of computers and servers. In addition, the Company estimates the additional expenditure to be $250,000, which provides $100,000 for sales and marketing and $150,000 for working capital, respectively.
For the next three to six months, we anticipate that our existing cash on hand, cash flows from operations, and access to funding will be sufficient to cover our operating activities and other cash commitments, including payments to related parties and material capital expenditures. However, we may need additional funds to achieve sustainable sales, which ongoing operations can fund out of revenues. There is no assurance that any additional financing will be available or, if available, on terms that will be acceptable to us.
GOING CONCERN CONSIDERATION
We have yet to generate significant revenues and cash flow from operations to cover our ongoing expenses. As of June 30, 2025, the Company had an accumulated deficit of $23,848,880. Our independent auditors included an explanatory paragraph in their report on the audited financial statements for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2024 and 2023, regarding concerns about our ability to continue as a going concern. Our financial statements include additional note disclosures that describe the circumstances leading to this disclosure by our independent auditors. Our financial statements do not include any adjustments related to the recoverability or classification of asset-carrying amounts or the amounts and classifications of liabilities that may result should the Company be unable to continue as a going concern.
Management has considered various factors in evaluating the Company’s sustainability and the ability to manage obligations due within a year. Management has considered general economic conditions, key industry metrics, operating results, capital expenditure, commitments, future obligations, and liquidity. The Company plans capital infusions from new and existing investors, streamlines operating costs, and evaluates new business strategies to enhance cash flow from operations.
CRITICAL ACCOUNTING POLICIES AND SIGNIFICANT JUDGMENTS AND ESTIMATES
We have based our management’s discussion and analysis of our financial condition and results of operations on our financial statements, which we have prepared in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles. In preparing our financial statements, we are required to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities, the disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities as of the date of the financial statements, and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses for the reporting periods. Our actual results may differ from these estimates, and such differences could be material and uncertain, particularly in the current economic environment, given the impact of COVID-19.
| 27 |
In more detail, we have described significant accounting policies in Note 2 of our annual financial statements included in our Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2024, filed with the SEC on October 27, 2023. We evaluate our critical accounting estimates and judgments, as required by our policies, on an ongoing basis and update them as necessary in response to changing conditions.
JOBS ACT ACCOUNTING ELECTION
We are an “emerging growth company,” as defined in the JOBS Act. Under the JOBS Act, emerging growth companies can delay adopting new or revised accounting standards issued after the enactment of the JOBS Act until those standards apply to private companies. As an emerging growth company, we have applied for an exemption; as a result, the Company may delay the adoption of certain accounting standards until the standards apply to private companies.
OFF-BALANCE SHEET ARRANGEMENTS AND CONTRACTUAL OBLIGATIONS
We have not engaged in any off-balance sheet arrangements as defined in Item 303(c) of the SEC’s Regulation S-B. We did not have any relationships with unconsolidated organizations or financial partnerships, such as structured finance or special purpose entities that would have been established to facilitate off-balance sheet arrangements or other contractually narrow or limited purposes.
RECENT ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENTS
The amendments in the ASU are effective for fiscal years beginning after January 1, 2020, including interim periods within those fiscal years. Early adoption of the standard is permitted, including adoption in interim or annual periods for which financial statements have not yet been issued. We have adopted this ASU as of January 1, 2020, for ASC 606, Revenue Recognition and Amended ASU 2016-02, Leases (Topic 840). The ASU is currently not expected to have a material impact on our consolidated financial statements. While we have described significant accounting policies in more details in Note 2 of our annual financial statements included in our S-1/A for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2024, filed with the SEC on October 27, 2023, we believe the accounting policies as described in Note 2 to be critical to the judgments and estimates used in the preparation of our financial statements.

OUR BUSINESS
DESCRIPTION OF BUSINESS
Corporate History
Eva Live Inc. (the “Company”) was incorporated under the laws of the State of Nevada on August 27, 2002, as International Pit Boss Gaming, Inc. On October 1, 2002, the Company merged with Pro Roads Systems, Inc. (a Florida corporation), a public shell company traded on the pink sheets. Pro Roads Systems, Inc. had no operations before the merger. The purpose of the merger was to change the Company’s domicile from Florida to Nevada. From its inception to 2006, the Company designed and developed software for the gaming industry. The Company changed its name on February 14, 2006, to Logo Industries Corporation and, on November 18, 2008, to Malwin Ventures Inc. On February 11, 2014, the Company announced negotiations with Impact Future Media LLC, and their President/Founder, Francois Garcia, acquired 100% of Impact Future Media LLC and its media and entertainment assets. The Company announced the closing of this transaction on March 25, 2014. From March 2014 to September 28, 2021, the Company was involved in the entertainment, publishing, and interactive industries.
On September 28, 2021, the Acquisition Date, the Company merged into EvaMedia Corp. (“EvaMedia”). Upon completion of the reverse merger, the Company acquired all issued and outstanding shares of EvaMedia’s capital stock. As a result, the Company issued 110,192,177 shares of the Company’s common stock to shareholders of EvaMedia, and immediately following the Acquisition, 111,169,525 shares of common stock were issued and outstanding. As a result, EvaMedia’s shareholders control 99.12% of the issued and outstanding shares of the Company on a fully diluted basis. Following the Acquisition, David Boulette of EvaMedia became the company’s CEO, director, and controlling shareholder. He appointed two additional board members from EvaMedia, Phil Aspin and Daryl Walser. Terry Fields remained the only board member of the company.
We deemed EvaMedia as an accounting acquirer based on the following facts: (i) after the reverse merger, former shareholders of EvaMedia held a majority of the voting interest of the combined company; (ii) former Board of Directors of EvaMedia possess majority control of the Board of Directors of the combined company; (iii) members of the management of EvaMedia are responsible for the management of the combined company. As such, we have treated the financial statements of EvaMedia as the historical financial statements of the combined company, and (iv) EvaMedia’s relative size, measured in assets and revenues, is significantly larger than that of the Company.
We have identified the Company as the legal acquirer, as it is the entity that issued securities. Comparatively, we have identified EvaMedia as the legal acquiree, the entity whose equity interests are acquired.
Since the Acquisition Date, the Company has operated at the junction of digital marketing and media monetization.
On September 9, 2021, the Company completed a reverse split in the amount of 1-for-150, changed the Company’s name to Eva Live Inc., changed the Company’s trading symbol from “MLWN” to “GOAI,” and executed an Acquisition Agreement resulting in a change of control of the Company. On September 10, 2021, the Financial Industry Regulatory Authority (“FINRA”) announced the effectiveness of a change in the Company’s name from “Malwin Ventures, Inc.” to “Eva Live, Inc.” and a change in the Company’s ticker symbol from “MLWN” to the new trading symbol “GOAI”. Trading under the new ticker symbol began at market opening on July 11, 2021.
On February 4, 2025, the Company effected the Reverse Stock Split. As a result of the Reverse Stock Split, every four (4) shares of issued and outstanding shares of common stock were combined into one (1) validly issued, fully paid and non-assessable share of common stock. FINRA announced the Reverse Stock Split on February 10, 2025. The common stock will start trading on a split-adjusted basis on OTC Markets at the market open on February 11, 2025. The trading symbol for the Common Stock continued to be “GOAI” after the Reverse Stock Split, and the CUSIP for the common stock changed to 298892209.
The Company’s year-end is December 31.
Current Operations
We execute our business through the Platform based on Artificial Intelligence, or AI, to match advertising campaigns to specific ad spots one at a time. Our system creates conversion mapping tables that allow us to increase conversion rates by analyzing those trends with optimized historical conversion rates and further capitalizing on and improving those rates. We leverage “big data,” an accumulation of data that is too large and complex for traditional database management tools to process. Since more companies are attempting to leverage big data to make strategic business decisions, we have built automated tools that analyze the data and feed the relevant information into our decision logic. We have designed our solution to optimize brand campaigns to create brand awareness and direct response campaigns with a fixed conversion point.
Since the Acquisition Date, the Company has operated at the junction of digital marketing and media monetization. We enable market awareness of companies and brands by providing best-in-class digital marketing and monetization services on the Internet. Our typical customers are advertising agencies (classified under SIC7319) and businesses in various industries seeking to market their products and services using our platform, including media companies, financial institutions, and other retail entities. Most of our customers are from North America, mainly the US and Canada. As of March 31, 2025 and December 31, 2024, we had seven (7) and six (6) customers, respectively, primarily from North America. The top three customers represent 88% and 85% of the Company’s receivables as of March 31, 2025 and December 31, 2024, respectively. Our Company’s financial health is highly dependent on these top customers. If any of them were to significantly reduce their spending or cease doing business with your company, it could have a major impact on your revenue and overall financial health. These clients utilize our platform to advertise with media outlets and participate in media buying services, including acquiring online traffic through the Platform. We also deal with businesses (as described under NAICS 541810) that utilize our in-house digital marketing capabilities, including advice, creative services, account management, production of advertising material, media planning, and buying (i.e., placing advertising).
In November 2020, the Company completed the development of the Platform, where the Platform buys traffic from various sources and sells that traffic to landing pages that display advertising via XML feeds. A price discrepancy exists between buying traffic on display and native platforms for specific keywords in an ad campaign and the XML search feeds. The Eval XML Platform manages the entire ad buying/selling process by integrating into Google, Microsoft, Taboola, Revcontent, Gemini, and Facebook. The Platform creates thousands of ads with the push of a button. The Eva XML Platform manages the spending depending on the performance of keywords in the ad campaign to maximize the arbitrage revenue.
The Company earns revenues from advertisers by signing purchase or insertion orders based on the Standard Advertising Terms. We intend to offer media companies and advertising agencies a standard for conducting business that is acceptable to both parties based on such terms and conditions. When incorporated into an insertion order, this protocol represents the Company and its customers’ shared understanding of doing business. The Company may also sign additional documents to cover sponsorships and other arrangements involving content association, integration, and special production. The Company considers an insertion order with its customers a binding contract with the customer or other similar documentation reflecting the terms and conditions under which it provides products or services. As a result, the Company considers the insertion order persuasive evidence of an arrangement. Each insertion is specific to the customer, defines each party’s fee schedule, duties, and responsibilities, and is governed by the Standard Advertising Terms as to renewal and termination terms, confidentiality agreement, dispute resolution, and other clauses necessary for the contract.
| 29 |
We sign the Interactive Advertising Bureau (IAB) and the American Association of Advertising Agencies (4As) standard terms and conditions for internet advertising for media buys one year or less. We execute an Insertion Order (IO) with our customers, a formal, contractual document used in advertising. It outlines the specifics of an advertising campaign a client has agreed to run with an advertising sales agency or a publisher. It serves as a purchase order but for media space or time slots, and its primary function is to specify the obligations of all parties involved. We comply with the IO, including all Ad placement restrictions, and provide Ads to the Site specified on the IO when an Internet user visits such a Site. We sent the initial invoice upon completion of the first month’s delivery or within 30 days of completion of the IO, whichever is earlier. Our customers will make payment 30 days from receipt of the invoice or as otherwise stated in a payment schedule set forth on the IO. We hold customers liable for payments solely to the extent proceeds have cleared from Advertiser to Agency for Ads placed following the IO. We provide reports at least as often as weekly, either electronically or in writing, unless otherwise specified on the IO. Our customers may cancel the entire IO, or any portion thereof, as follows:
| ● | With 14 days prior written notice to us, without penalty, for any guaranteed Deliverable, including, but not limited to, CPM (cost per thousand impressions) Deliverables. | |
| ● | With seven (7) days prior written notice to us, without penalty, for any non-guaranteed Deliverable, including, but not limited to, CPC (cost per clicks) Deliverables, CPL (cost per leads) Deliverables, or CPA (cost per acquisition) Deliverables, as well as some non-guaranteed CPM Deliverables. | |
| ● | With 30 days prior written notice to us, without penalty, for any flat fee-based or fixed-placement Deliverables. | |
| ● | Either party may terminate an IO at any time if the other party is in material breach of its obligations hereunder, which breach is not cured within ten days after receipt of written notice thereof from the non-breaching party. |
Our contract includes other standard terms and conditions, including but not limited to force majeure, indemnification, limitation of liability, non-disclosure, data usage and ownership, privacy and laws, third-party ad serving and tracking (applicable if third-party ad server is used), and other legally binding clauses.

Reverse Capitalization
On the Acquisition Date, the Company merged into EvaMedia. Upon completion of the reverse merger, the Company acquired all issued and outstanding shares of EvaMedia’s capital stock. As a result, the Company issued 110,192,177 shares of the Company’s common stock to shareholders of EvaMedia, and immediately following the Acquisition, 111,169,525 shares of common stock were issued and outstanding. As a result, EvaMedia’s shareholders control 99.12% of the issued and outstanding shares of the Company on a fully diluted basis. Following the Acquisition, David Boulette of EvaMedia became the company’s CEO, director, and controlling shareholder. He appointed two additional board members from EvaMedia, Phil Aspin and Daryl Walser. Terry Fields remained the only board member of the company.
We determine EvaMedia an accounting acquirer based on the following facts: (i) after the reverse merger, former shareholders of EvaMedia held a majority of the voting interest of the combined company; (ii) former Board of Directors of EvaMedia possess majority control of the Board of Directors of the combined company; (iii) members of the management of EvaMedia are responsible for the management of the combined company. As such, we have treated the financial statements of EvaMedia as the historical financial statements of the combined company, and (iv) EvaMedia’s relative size, measured in assets and revenues, is significantly larger than that of the Company.
We have identified the Company as the legal acquirer, as it is the entity that issued securities. Comparatively, we have identified EvaMedia as the legal acquiree, the entity whose equity interests are acquired.
After the SEC’s order on BF Borgers CPA in May 2024, the Company reevaluated the significant transaction as reverse capitalization instead of a reverse acquisition. On September 28, 2021 (the ‘Acquisition Date’), the Company entered a reverse capitalization transaction (Acquisition) with EvaMedia Corp. (EvaMedia). As per SEC 7050 – Reverse Mergers, A reverse recapitalization is a transaction in which a shell company (as defined in Exchange Act Rule 12b-2) issues its equity interests to effect the acquisition of an operating company. Reverse recapitalization is accounted for as a capital transaction equivalent to the operating company (i.e., the accounting acquirer, EvaMedia) issuing its equity for the net assets of the shell company (the Company), followed by recapitalization. A reverse recapitalization is not accounted for as a business combination because the shell company is not a business. Since reverse recapitalization is not accounted for as a business combination, no goodwill would be recorded because of the reverse recapitalization transaction. Therefore, we have eliminated goodwill of $2,010,606 as of December 31, 2024. Rather, any excess of the fair value of the shares issued by the operating company over the value of the net monetary assets of the shell company is recognized as a reduction to equity. In a reverse recapitalization, the legal acquirer/issuer is a shell company, the Company.
AdFlare Acquisition
On July 13, 2022, the Company entered into a Share Exchange Agreement (“AdFlare SEA”) with AdFlare Limited, a company duly formed under the laws of Ireland (Reg. Number: 714192) (“AdFlare”), and the shareholders of AdFlare, Phil Aspin, an individual and Stephen Adds, an individual (collectively, the “Shareholders”) whereby the Company acquired One Hundred (100%) percent of the issued and outstanding shares of AdFlare in exchange for 500,000 shares of the Company’s restricted common stock valued at $1,500,000 using the discounted cash flow methodology. Mr. Phil Aspin, co-founder of AdFlare, has served as a member of the Company’s Board of Directors since September 28, 2021. The Company carried out the Goodwill Impairment Analysis as of December 31, 2022, where the carrying value of Goodwill as of December 31, 2022, is $1,500,000. The fair market value of the implied Goodwill is approximately $0, which is less than the carrying value, and thus, the impairment as of December 31, 2022, is $1,500,000.
AdFlare, a wholly owned subsidiary of the Company, is a leader in the specialized field of “Header Bidding,” with a deep contextual understanding of an array of ad technologies spanning search, display, and video across mobile and desktop, providing solutions to help all publishers drive revenue. Header bidding, also known as advance or pre-bidding, is a technology wherein publishers simultaneously offer their inventory to multiple ad exchanges, advertisers, and agencies. The idea is that by letting various buyers bid on the same inventory at the same time, in real-time, there is more competition driving up the auction pressure and a chance to serve each impression at a higher Cost Per Mille rate (“CPM rate”), meaning capturing additional revenue. AdFlare has a track record of delivering over 1 billion ad impressions a month and increasing Google AdX over Google AdSense CPM by over 30%, with an average fill rate of 99.9% in the US market.

Our Revenue Model
We can generate revenues as a principal-based or an agency-based service provider. At present, we generate revenues on a principal-based model.
Under the principal-based agency, the Company takes the principal position in the contract. The Company uses its Eva Platform to buy media (advertising inventory) directly from the media sellers. The Company repackages the advertising inventory for sale to clients. The Company also performs other advertising and branding work for the client, such as developing a landing page, website, widget design, banner design, and so on. The Company receives the Ad Spend or a marketing budget from the client to perform such services. In some instances, these services are performed non-disclosed, meaning the client does not know what the Company paid for the media space, time, or development. The Company recognizes the total Ad Spend of the client as its revenue.
Under the agency-based model, the Company acts as an agent of the client and negotiates deals with media sellers. The client is responsible for paying the media sellers directly or for paying the Company, which then pays the media sellers on behalf of the client. Under the agency-based model, the Company earns revenue by charging clients a platform fee based on a percentage of a client’s total spend (Ad Spend) on the purchase of advertising from the Advertising Inventory Supplier (seller). We keep a portion of that advertising spend as a fee and remit the remainder to the seller. The Company has no leverage to control the cost of the seller’s inventory before the client’s purchase. The platform fee we intend to charge clients is a percentage of their purchases through our platform, similar to a commission, and the platform fee is not contingent on the results of an advertising campaign.
We recognize revenue upon fulfilling our contractual obligations with a complete transaction, subject to satisfying all other revenue recognition criteria.
Business Strategy
Our team members have successfully run advertising campaigns for products and brands, ranging from consumer products to clothing items to automobiles. We provide a differentiated solution that is simple, powerful, scalable, and extensible across geographies, industry verticals, and display, mobile, social, and video digital advertising channels. We expect our Eva Platform to be fully automated, scalable, and cost-effective as it will allow us to run several campaigns simultaneously. As the number of campaigns grows, we scale up our technology and hardware rather than increasing our workforce. Consequently, we can grow operations cost-effectively as we acquire new clients if our platform’s demand and acceptance increase. We intend to expand our core business, increase market share, and improve profitability principally by deploying the following growth strategies:
| ● | Complete the initial integration of AI in the fiscal year ending December 31, 2024; | |
● |
We intend to continue innovating in AI and machine learning technology to improve the Platform and augment its features and functionalities. | |
● |
We view big data as one of our critical competitive advantages. We will continue to invest resources in growing our data offerings, both from third-party providers and our proprietary data; | |
| ● | Ramp up paid customers through our digital and traditional marketing strategies; | |
| ● | Continue to enhance and promote our core proprietary Eva Platform and Eva XML Platform; | |
| ● | Future growth will depend on the timely development and successful distribution of our AdTech solutions by signing larger deals in the United States and globally. | |
| ● | Increase our software development capabilities to develop disruptive and next-generation machine learning and artificial intelligence-driven technologies to grow and retain our customer base; | |
| ● | Improving the share of current clients’ advertising budgets and ad spends as many of our present and potential clients spend a larger percentage of their advertising budgets on programmatic channels and | |
| ● | Grow customer base through accretive acquisitions, opportunistic investments, and beneficial partnerships. |

Industry and Competitive Analysis
Our industry is extremely competitive and fragmented. The Company directly competes with other demand-side platforms (DSP) providers. DSP is a technology platform that enables advertisers and agencies to automate the purchasing of digital advertising inventory across multiple channels. By leveraging real-time bidding (RTB) and data-driven targeting, DSPs allow advertisers to reach specific audiences efficiently, optimizing ad campaigns for performance and cost-effectiveness.
The digital marketing ecosystem is divided into buyers (advertisers), sellers (publishers), and marketplaces. The landscape has several segments, such as display and programmatic, mobile, video, search engine, content advertisement, and social ads.
We believe that participants on the buy-side or sell-side should be advocates for their buyers or sellers, while those in the market business should act as referees or have market-driven incentives to protect or enhance the integrity of the marketplace. We believe there are inherent conflicts of interest when market participants serve buyers and sellers.
The DSP market has experienced significant growth in recent years and is projected to continue its upward trajectory:
| ● | Fortune Business Insights projects the global DSP market to grow from $25.54 billion in 2023 to $114.51 billion by 2030, at a CAGR of 23.9% during the forecast period. | |
| ● | Contrive Datum Insights estimates the market size to reach $92.12 billion by 2029, exhibiting a CAGR of 23.7% from 2022 to 2029. | |
| ● | Allied Market Research forecasts the DSP system market to grow from $21 billion in 2022 to $228.4 billion by 2032, with a CAGR of 27.3%. |
These projections underscore the robust expansion and increasing adoption of DSPs in the digital advertising landscape.
Key Drivers of Growth
Several factors contribute to the rapid growth of the DSP market:
Rise in Programmatic Advertising: The shift towards automated, data-driven ad buying has propelled the adoption of DSPs, enabling advertisers to manage and optimize campaigns in real time.
Advancements in AI and Machine Learning: Integration of AI technologies enhance targeting capabilities, bid optimization, and overall campaign performance, making DSPs more effective and attractive to advertisers.
Expansion of Digital Channels: The proliferation of digital platforms, including mobile apps, social media, and connected TV, has increased the demand for centralized platforms like DSPs to manage cross-channel advertising efforts.
Industry Trends and Developments
The DSP landscape is continually evolving, with notable trends shaping its future:
Consolidation and Mergers: The industry has seen significant mergers and acquisitions, such as the merger of Omnicom Group and Interpublic Group, forming the largest advertising company focused on leveraging data, technology, and AI.
Expansion of Services: Companies like Taboola are moving beyond traditional native advertising by launching new ad platforms, such as Realize, to capture additional market opportunities and compete with established DSPs.
| 33 |
Regulatory Scrutiny: Major players like Google are facing antitrust lawsuits over alleged monopolistic practices in the digital advertising market, highlighting the increasing regulatory focus on the industry.
Leading DSP Providers
Several companies have established themselves as leaders in the DSP market:
The Trade Desk: Recognized as the largest independent DSP, offering a self-service platform for advertisers to manage digital campaigns across various channels.
Amazon Advertising: Provides a DSP that allows advertisers to programmatically buy display, video, and audio ads both on and off Amazon.
Google Display & Video 360: Part of Google’s Marketing Platform, offering integrated tools for campaign management across display, video, TV, and more.
Adobe Advertising Cloud: Offers a DSP that integrates with other Adobe products, providing data-driven insights and cross-channel campaign management.
These platforms offer diverse features and integrations, catering to the varying needs of advertisers in the digital ecosystem.
In conclusion, the Demand-Side Platform market is poised for substantial growth, driven by technological advancements, the rise of programmatic advertising, and the expanding digital landscape. Advertisers are increasingly leveraging DSPs to enhance targeting precision, optimize ad spending, and achieve better campaign outcomes in an ever-evolving digital environment.

Common Stock
The following summarizes our common stock’s material rights and restrictions. This description does not purport to be a complete description of all the rights of our stockholders and is subject to, and qualified in its entirety by, the provisions of our most current Articles of Incorporation and Bylaws, which are included as exhibits to this registration statement.
The holders of our common stock currently have (i) equal ratable rights to dividends from funds legally available, therefore, when, as, and if declared by the Board of Directors of the Company; (ii) are entitled to share ratably in all of the assets of the Company available for distribution to holders of common stock upon liquidation, dissolution or winding up of the affairs of the Company (iii) do not have pre-emptive, subscription or conversion rights and there are no redemption or sinking fund provisions or rights applicable thereto, and (iv) are entitled to one non-cumulative vote per share on all matters on which stockholders may vote.

Warrants Offered in the Units in this Offering
Overview. The following summary of certain terms and provisions of the Warrants offered hereby is not complete and is subject to, and qualified in its entirety by, the provisions of the warrant agent agreement between us the Warrant Agent (the “Warrant Agreement”), and the form of Warrant, both of which are filed as exhibits to the registration statement of which this prospectus is a part. Prospective investors should carefully review the terms and provisions set forth in the warrant agent agreement, including the annexes thereto, and form of Warrant. The Warrants issued in this offering entitle the registered holder to purchase one share of our common stock at a price equal up to $4.125 per share, subject to adjustment as discussed below, immediately following the issuance of such Warrant and terminating at 5:00 p.m., New York City time, five (5) years after the closing of this offering. As described below, we intend to apply to list the Warrants on Nasdaq under the symbol “GOAIW.”
Exercisability. The Warrants are exercisable at any time after their original issuance and at any time up to the date that is five (5) years after their original issuance. The Warrants may be exercised upon surrender of the warrant certificate on or prior to the expiration date at the offices of the Warrant Agent, with the exercise form on the reverse side of the warrant certificate completed and executed as indicated. Under the terms of the Warrant Agreement, we must use our best efforts to maintain the effectiveness of the registration statement and current prospectus relating to common stock issuable upon exercise of the Warrants until the expiration of the Warrants. If we fail to maintain the effectiveness of the registration statement and current prospectus relating to the common stock issuable upon exercise of the Warrants, the holders of the Warrants shall have the right to exercise the Warrants solely via a cashless exercise feature provided for in the Warrants, until such time as there is an effective registration statement and current prospectus.
Exercise Limitation. A holder (together with its affiliates) may not exercise any portion of the warrant to the extent that the holder would own more than 4.99% (or, at the election of the holder, 9.99%) of the outstanding common stock immediately after exercise, except that upon at least 61 days’ prior notice from the holder to us, the holder may increase the amount of ownership of outstanding stock after exercising the holder’s Warrants up to 9.99% of the number of shares of our common stock outstanding immediately after giving effect to the exercise, as such percentage ownership is determined in accordance with the terms of the Warrants.
Exercise Price. The exercise price per whole share of our common stock purchasable upon the exercise of the Warrants is at least $4.125 per share of common stock. The Warrants will be immediately exercisable and may be exercised at any time up to the date that is five years after their original issuance. The exercise price of the Warrants is subject to appropriate adjustment in the event of certain stock dividends and distributions, stock splits, stock combinations, reclassifications or similar events affecting our common stock and also upon any distributions of assets, including cash, stock or other property to our stockholders.
Cashless Exercise. If, at any time after the issuance of the Warrants, a holder of the Warrants exercises the Warrants and a registration statement registering the issuance of the shares of common stock underlying the warrants under the Securities Act is not then effective or available (or a prospectus is not available for the resale of shares of common stock underlying the Warrants), then in lieu of making the cash payment otherwise contemplated to be made to us upon such exercise in payment of the aggregate exercise price, the holder shall instead receive upon such exercise (either in whole or in part) only the net number of shares of common stock determined according to a formula set forth in the warrants. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary, in the event we do not have or maintain an effective registration statement, there are no circumstances that would require us to make any cash payments or net cash settle the warrants to the holders.
| 40 |
Fractional Shares. No fractional shares of common stock will be issued upon exercise of the Warrants. If, upon exercise of the Warrant, a holder would be entitled to receive a fractional interest in a share, we will, upon exercise, pay a cash adjustment in respect of such fraction in an amount equal to such fraction multiplied by the exercise price. If multiple Warrants are exercised by the holder at the same time, we shall pay a cash adjustment in respect of such final fraction in an amount equal to such fraction multiplied by the exercise price.
Transferability. Subject to applicable laws, the Warrants may be offered for sale, sold, transferred or assigned at the option of the holder without our consent.
Fundamental Transactions. In the event of a fundamental transaction, as described in the Warrants and generally including any reorganization, recapitalization or reclassification of our common stock, the sale, transfer or other disposition of all or substantially all of our properties or assets, our consolidation or merger with or into another person, the acquisition of more than 50% of our outstanding common stock, or any person or group becoming the beneficial owner of 50% of the voting power represented by our outstanding common stock, the holders of the Warrants will be entitled to receive upon exercise of the Warrants the kind and amount of securities, cash or other property that the holders would have received had they exercised the warrants immediately prior to such fundamental transaction.
Rights as a Stockholder. Except by virtue of such holder’s ownership of shares of our common stock, the holder of a Warrant does not have the rights or privileges of a holder of our common stock, including any voting rights, until the holder exercises the Warrant.
Underwriter’s Warrants
This Registration Statement also registers for sale the Underwriter’s Warrants, as a portion of the underwriting compensation in connection with this offering.

Indemnification of Directors and Officers
Neither our Articles of Incorporation nor Bylaws prevent us from indemnifying our officers, directors and agents to the extent permitted under the Nevada Revised Statutes (“NRS”). NRS Section 78.7502, provides that a corporation may indemnify any director, officer, employee or agent of a corporation against expenses, including fees, actually and reasonably incurred by him in connection with any defense to the extent that a director, officer, employee or agent of a corporation has been successful on the merits or otherwise in defense of any action, suit or proceeding referred to Section 78.7502(1) or 78.7502(2), or in defense of any claim, issue or matter therein.
NRS 78.7502(1) provides that a corporation may indemnify any person who was or is a party or is threatened to be made a party to any threatened, pending or completed action, suit or proceeding, whether civil, criminal, administrative or investigative, except an action by or in the right of the corporation, by reason of the fact that he is or was a director, officer, employee or agent of the corporation, or is or was serving at the request of the corporation as a director, officer, employee or agent of another corporation, partnership, joint venture, trust or other enterprise, against expenses, including fees, judgments, fines and amounts paid in settlement actually and reasonably incurred by him in connection with the action, suit or proceeding if he: (a) is not liable pursuant to NRS 78.138; or (b) acted in good faith and in a manner which he reasonably believed to be in or not opposed to the best interests of the corporation, and, with respect to any criminal action or proceeding, had no reasonable cause to believe his conduct was unlawful.
NRS Section 78.7502(2) provides that a corporation may indemnify any person who was or is a party or is threatened to be made a party to any threatened, pending or completed action or suit by or in the right of the corporation to procure a judgment in its favor by reason of the fact that he is or was a director, officer, employee or agent of the corporation, or is or was serving at the request of the corporation as a director, officer, employee or agent of another corporation, partnership, joint venture, trust or other enterprise against expenses, including amounts paid in settlement and fees actually and reasonably incurred by him in connection with the defense or settlement of the action or suit if he: (a) is not liable pursuant to NRS 78.138; or (b) acted in good faith and in a manner which he reasonably believed to be in or not opposed to the best interests of the corporation. Indemnification may not be made for any claim, issue or matter as to which such a person has been adjudged by a court of competent jurisdiction, after exhaustion of all appeals there from, to be liable to the corporation or for amounts paid in settlement to the corporation, unless and only to the extent that the court in which the action or suit was brought or other court of competent jurisdiction determines upon application that in view of all the circumstances of the case, the person is fairly and reasonably entitled to indemnity for such expenses as the court deems proper.
| 41 |
NRS Section 78.747 provides that except as otherwise provided by specific statute, no director or officer of a corporation is individually liable for a debt or liability of the corporation, unless the director or officer acts as the alter ego of the corporation. The court as a matter of law must determine the question of whether a director or officer acts as the alter ego of a corporation.
Our Articles of Incorporation provide that we will indemnify our directors, officers, employees and agents fully, or if not possible, partially, permitted by the provisions of the NRS.

Indemnification
We have agreed to indemnify the underwriters against specified liabilities, including liabilities under the Securities Act, and liabilities arising from breaches of representations and warranties contained in the underwriting agreement, or to contribute to payments the underwriters may be required to make in respect thereof.
Lock-Up Agreements
We and our directors, officers and certain shareholders have agreed with the underwriter, for a period of three (3) months after the closing of this offering, not to offer for sale, issue, sell, contract to sell, pledge, grant any option to purchase, make any short sale or otherwise dispose of, directly or indirectly any shares of our common stock or any securities convertible into or exchangeable for our common stock either owned as of the date of the underwriting agreement or thereafter acquired without the prior written consent of the underwriters.

The Representative may, in its sole discretion and at any time or from time to time before the termination of the lock-up period, without notice, release all or any portion of the securities subject to lock-up agreements.
Pricing of this Offering
Prior to this offering, there has not been an active market for our common stock and there has been no public market for our Warrants. The public offering price for our Units was determined through negotiations between us and the underwriters. Among the factors considered in these negotiations were prevailing market conditions, our financial information, market valuations of other companies that we and the underwriters believe to be comparable to us, estimates of our business potential, the present state of our development and other factors deemed relevant.
We offer no assurances that the public offering price of our Units will correspond to the price at which our common stock will trade in the public market subsequent to this offering or that an active trading market for our common stock will develop and continue after this offering.
Underwriter’s Warrants
We have agreed to issue to the Representative (or its permitted assignees) warrants to purchase up to a total of ____ shares of common stock (7.0% of the shares of common stock included in this offering). The warrants will be exercisable at any time, and from time to time, in whole or in part, during the period commencing six (6) months after the effective date of the registration statement of which this prospectus is a part, and expiring five years after the date thereof, in compliance with FINRA Rule 5110(e). The warrants are exercisable at a per share price equal to at least $ per share [or 125% of the public offering price per Unit in the offering]. The warrants have been deemed compensation by FINRA and are therefore subject to a 180-day lock-up pursuant to Rule 5110(e)(1) of FINRA. The Representative (or permitted assignees under Rule 5110(e)(2)) will not sell, transfer, assign, pledge, or hypothecate these warrants or the securities underlying these warrants, nor will they engage in any hedging, short sale, derivative, put, or call transaction that would result in the effective economic disposition of the warrants or the underlying securities for a period of six (6) months following the offering. In addition, the warrants provide for certain demand and piggyback registration rights. The registration rights provided will not be greater than five years from the closing of the offering in compliance with FINRA Rule 5110(g)(8). We will bear all fees and expenses attendant to one demand and unlimited piggyback registration of the securities issuable upon exercise of the Underwriter’s warrants. The Representative will bear the expense of an additional demand registration. The exercise price and number of shares issuable upon exercise of the warrants may be adjusted in certain circumstances including in the event of a stock dividend, extraordinary cash dividend or our recapitalization, reorganization, merger or consolidation. However, the warrant exercise price or underlying shares will not be adjusted for issuances of shares of common stock at a price below the warrant exercise price.

Subject to the closing of this offering and certain conditions set forth in the underwriting agreement, for a period of 15 months after the closing of this offering, the Representative shall have a right of first refusal to act as sole managing underwriter, sole sales agent, sole book-running manager and/or sole placement agent for any and all future public or private equity, equity-linked, or debt (excluding commercial bank debt) offerings undertaken during such period by us, or any of our successors or subsidiaries, on terms customary to each of the underwriter. The Representative, in conjunction with us, shall have the sole right to determine whether or not any other broker-dealer shall have the right to participate in any such offering and the economic terms of any such participation. The Company shall not offer to retain any entity or person in connection with any such offering on terms more favorable than terms on which it offers to retain the Representative. In addition, we have agreed that in the event any investor previously introduced to us by the Representative in this offering subsequently provides capital to us in any public or private financing during the fifteen (15) month period following the closing of this offering, we will pay the underwriters a cash fee of 7% of the gross proceeds on any such investments.
Trading; Nasdaq Capital Market Listing
Prior to this offering, our common stock was quoted on the OTCQB market under the symbol “GOAI.” We will apply to list our common stock on Nasdaq under the symbol “GOAI” and the Warrants under the symbol “GOAIW,” respectively. We believe that upon the completion of the offering contemplated by this prospectus, we will meet the standards for listing on Nasdaq. We cannot guarantee that we will be successful in listing our common stock or our Warrants on Nasdaq; however, we will not complete this offering unless we are so listed.
Compensation Under Engagement Letter with the Representative

Upon the Representative’s request, the Company will use its best efforts to promptly deliver an opinion of its counsel to the Company’s transfer agent to remove any restrictive legend from the common stock pursuant to Rule 144; however, this requirement does not apply if the Company reasonably believes in good faith that the conditions for removal of the restrictive legend under Rule 144 have not been met.

Price Stabilization, Short Positions and Penalty Bids
In connection with this offering the underwriters may engage in stabilizing transactions, over-allotment transactions, syndicate covering transactions and penalty bids in accordance with Regulation M under the Exchange Act:
● Stabilizing transactions permit bids to purchase securities so long as the stabilizing bids do not exceed a specified maximum.
● Over-allotment involves sales by the underwriters of securities in excess of the number of securities the underwriters are obligated to purchase, which creates a syndicate short position. The short position may be either a covered short position or a naked short position. In a covered short position, the number of securities over-allotted by the underwriters is not greater than the number of securities that they may purchase in the over-allotment option. In a naked short position, the number of securities involved is greater than the number of securities in the over-allotment option. The underwriters may close out any covered short position by either exercising its over-allotment option and/or purchasing securities in the open market.
● Syndicate covering transactions involve purchases of the securities in the open market after the distribution has been completed in order to cover syndicate short positions. In determining the source of securities to close out the short position, the underwriters will consider, among other things, the price of securities available for purchase in the open market as compared to the price at which they may purchase securities through the over-allotment option. A naked short position occurs if the underwriters sells more securities than could be covered by the over-allotment option. This position can only be closed out by buying securities in the open market. A naked short position is more likely to be created if the underwriters are concerned that there could be downward pressure on the price of the securities in the open market after pricing that could adversely affect investors who purchase in this offering.
● Penalty bids permit the underwriters to reclaim a selling concession from a syndicate member when securities originally sold by the syndicate member is purchased in a stabilizing or syndicate covering transaction to cover syndicate short positions.
These stabilizing transactions, syndicate covering transactions and penalty bids may have the effect of raising or maintaining the market price of our common stock or preventing or retarding a decline in the market price of the securities. As a result, the price of our shares of common stock and warrants may be higher than the price that might otherwise exist in the open market. These transactions may be discontinued at any time.
Neither we nor the underwriters make any representation or prediction as to the direction or magnitude of any effect that the transactions described above may have on the price of our shares of common stock and warrants. In addition, neither we nor the underwriters make any representation that the underwriters will engage in these transactions or that any transaction, if commenced, will not be discontinued without notice.

NOTE 1. BUSINESS DESCRIPTION AND NATURE OF OPERATIONS
NATURE OF OPERATIONS
Corporate History
Eva Live Inc. (the “Company”) was incorporated under the laws of the State of Nevada on August 27, 2002, as International Pit Boss Gaming, Inc. On October 1, 2002, the Company merged with Pro Roads Systems, Inc., a Florida corporation and a public shell company listed on the Pink Sheets. Pro Roads Systems, Inc. had no operations before the merger. The purpose of the merger was to change the Company’s domicile from Florida to Nevada. From its inception to 2006, the Company designed and developed software for the gaming industry. The Company changed its name on February 14, 2006, to Logo Industries Corporation and, on November 18, 2008, to Malwin Ventures Inc. On February 11, 2014, the Company announced negotiations with Impact Future Media LLC, and its President/Founder, Francois Garcia, acquired 100% of Impact Future Media LLC and its media and entertainment assets. The Company announced the closing of this transaction on March 25, 2014. From March 2014 to September 28, 2021, the Company was involved in the entertainment, publishing, and interactive industries.
The Company’s year-end is December 31.
Current Operations
We execute our business through the Eva Platform, which is based on Artificial Intelligence (AI), to match advertising campaigns with specific ad spots one at a time. Our system creates conversion mapping tables that enable us to increase conversion rates by analyzing trends with optimized historical conversion rates and further capitalizing on and improving those rates. We leverage “big data,” an accumulation of data that is too large and complex for traditional database management tools to process. As more companies strive to leverage big data for informed business decisions, we have developed automated tools that analyze the data and provide relevant information to our decision logic. We have designed our solution to optimize brand campaigns to create brand awareness and direct response campaigns with a fixed conversion point.
Since September 28, 2021, the Company has operated at the junction of digital marketing and media monetization. We enhance market awareness for companies and brands by delivering best-in-class digital marketing and monetization services on the Internet. Our typical customers are advertising agencies (classified under SIC 7319) and businesses across various industries that seek to market their products and services using our platform, including media companies, financial institutions, and other retail entities. Most of our customers are from North America, primarily the United States and Canada. As of June 30, 2025, and December 31, 2024, we had eleven (11) and six (6) customers, primarily from North America. The top three customers accounted for 88% and 85% of the receivables as of June 30, 2025, and December 31, 2024, respectively. Our Company’s financial health is highly dependent on these top customers. If any of them were to significantly reduce their spending or cease doing business with your company, it could have a major impact on your revenue and overall financial health. These clients utilize our platform to advertise with media outlets and participate in media buying services, including acquiring online traffic through the Eva Platform. We also work with businesses (as described under NAICS 541810) that utilize our in-house digital marketing capabilities, including advice, creative services, account management, production of advertising materials, media planning, and buying (i.e., placing advertisements).
In November 2020, the Company completed the development of the Eva XML Platform (“Platform”), which buys traffic from various sources and sells it to landing pages that display advertising via XML feeds. A price discrepancy exists between buying traffic on display and native platforms for specific keywords in an ad campaign and the XML search feeds. The Eval XML Platform manages the entire ad buying/selling process by integrating into Google, Microsoft, Taboola, Revcontent, Gemini, and Facebook. The Eva XML Platform creates thousands of ads with the push of a button. The Eva XML Platform manages spending based on the performance of keywords in the ad campaign to maximize arbitrage revenue.
The Company earns revenues from advertisers by signing purchase or insertion orders based on Standard Terms and Conditions for Internet Advertising for Media Buys One Year or Less, Version 3.0, as defined in 4’s/IAB . We intend to offer media companies and advertising agencies a standard for conducting mutually acceptable business, based on specific terms and conditions. When incorporated into an insertion order, this protocol represents the shared understanding of the Company and its customers regarding the conduct of business. The Company may also sign additional documents to cover sponsorships and other arrangements involving content association, integration, and special production. The Company considers an insertion order with its customers to be a binding contract with the customer, or other similar documentation, reflecting the terms and conditions under which it provides products or services. As a result, the Company considers the insertion order persuasive evidence of an arrangement. Each insertion is specific to the customer, defines each party’s fee schedule, duties, and responsibilities, and is governed by 4’s/IAB Version 3.0 for renewal and termination terms, confidentiality agreement, dispute resolution, and other clauses necessary for such a contract.

NOTE 1. BUSINESS DESCRIPTION AND NATURE OF OPERATIONS (continued)
We adhere to the Interactive Advertising Bureau (IAB) and the American Association of Advertising Agencies (4A’s) standard terms and conditions for internet advertising, applicable to media buys of one year or less. We execute an Insertion Order (IO) with our customers, a formal, contractual document used in advertising. It outlines the specifics of an advertising campaign a client has agreed to run with an advertising sales agency or a publisher. It serves as a purchase order but for media space or time slots, and its primary function is to specify the obligations of all parties involved. We comply with the IO, including all Ad placement restrictions, and provide Ads to the Site specified on the IO when an Internet user visits such a Site. We sent the initial invoice upon completion of the first month’s delivery or within 30 days of completion of the IO, whichever is earlier. Our customers will make payment 30 days from receipt of the invoice, or as otherwise stated in a payment schedule set forth on the invoice of purchase (IO). We hold customers liable for payments solely to the extent that the proceeds have cleared from the Advertiser to the Agency for Ads placed following the IO. We provide reports at least weekly, either electronically or in writing, unless otherwise specified in the IO. Our customers may cancel the entire IO, or any portion thereof, as follows:
| ● | With 14 days prior written notice to us, without penalty, for any guaranteed Deliverable, including, but not limited to, CPM (cost per thousand impressions) Deliverables. | |
| ● | With eleven (11) days prior written notice to us, without penalty, for any non-guaranteed Deliverable, including, but not limited to, CPC (cost per clicks) Deliverables, CPL (cost per leads) Deliverables, or CPA (cost per acquisition) Deliverables, as well as some non-guaranteed CPM Deliverables. | |
| ● | With 30 days prior written notice to us, without penalty, for any flat fee-based or fixed-placement Deliverables. | |
| ● | Either party may terminate an IO at any time if the other party is in material breach of its obligations under this agreement, which breach is not cured within ten days after receipt of written notice thereof from the non-breaching party. |
Our contract includes other standard terms and conditions, including, but not limited to, force majeure, indemnification, limitation of liability, non-disclosure, data usage and ownership, privacy, laws, third-party ad serving and tracking (applicable if a third-party ad server is used), and other legally binding clauses.
We execute our business through the Eva Platform, which is based on Artificial Intelligence (AI), to match advertising campaigns with specific ad spots one at a time. Our system creates conversion mapping tables that enable us to increase conversion rates by analyzing trends with optimized historical conversion rates and further capitalizing on and improving those rates. We leverage “big data,” an accumulation of data that is too large and complex for traditional database management tools to process. As more companies strive to leverage big data for strategic business decisions, we have developed automated tools that analyze the data and provide relevant information to our decision logic. We have designed our solution to optimize brand campaigns to create awareness and direct response campaigns with a fixed conversion point.
The Company also owns the Eva XML Platform, which purchases traffic from various sources and sells it to landing pages that display advertising via XML feeds. A price discrepancy exists between buying traffic on display and native platforms for specific keywords in an ad campaign and the XML search feeds. The Eval XML Platform manages the entire ad buying and selling process by integrating with Google, Microsoft, Taboola, Revcontent, Gemini, and Facebook. It enables the creation of thousands of ads with the click of a button. The Eva XML Platform manages spending based on the performance of keywords in the ad campaign to maximize arbitrage revenue.
Russia – Ukraine Conflict
The geopolitical situation in Eastern Europe intensified on February 24, 2022, with Russia’s invasion of Ukraine. The war between the two countries continues to evolve as military activity continues. The United States and certain European countries have imposed additional sanctions on Russia and specific individuals. The Company has no operational exposure in the region affected by war. As of the date of this report, there have been no disruptions to our operations.
AdFlare Acquisition
On July 13, 2022, the Company entered into a Share Exchange Agreement (“AdFlare SEA”) with AdFlare Limited, a company duly formed under the laws of Ireland (Reg. Number: 714192) (“AdFlare”), and the shareholders of AdFlare, Phil Aspin, an individual and Stephen Adds, an individual (collectively, the “Shareholders”) whereby the Company acquired One Hundred (100%) percent of the issued and outstanding shares of AdFlare in exchange for shares of the Company’s restricted common stock valued at $1,500,000 using the discounted cash flow methodology. Mr. Phil Aspin, co-founder of AdFlare, has served as a member of the Company’s Board of Directors since September 28, 2021. The Company performed a Goodwill Impairment Analysis as of December 31, 2022, resulting in a carrying value of Goodwill of $1,500,000 as of that date. The fair market value of the implied Goodwill is approximately $0, which is less than the carrying value, and thus, the impairment as of December 31, 2022, is $1,500,000.
AdFlare, a wholly owned subsidiary of the Company, is a leader in the specialized field of “header bidding,” with a deep contextual understanding of a wide array of ad technologies spanning search, display, and video across mobile and desktop, providing solutions to help all publishers drive revenue. Header bidding, also known as advanced or pre-bidding, is a technology that enables publishers to simultaneously offer their inventory to multiple ad exchanges, advertisers, and agencies. The idea is that by allowing various buyers to bid on the same inventory simultaneously in real-time, there is more competition driving up auction pressure and a chance to serve each impression at a higher Cost Per Mille rate (“CPM rate”), thereby capturing additional revenue. AdFlare has a track record of delivering over 1 billion ad impressions per month and increasing Google AdX revenue by over 30% compared to Google AdSense CPM, with an average fill rate of 99.9% in the US market.

NOTE 1. BUSINESS DESCRIPTION AND NATURE OF OPERATIONS (continued)
Our Revenue Model
We can generate revenues as a principal-based or an agency-based service provider. Currently, we generate revenues through a principal-based model.
Under the principal-based agency, the Company takes the principal position in the contract. The Company uses its Eva Platform to buy media (advertising inventory) directly from the media sellers. The Company repackages the advertising inventory for sale to clients. The Company also performs other advertising and branding services for the client, including developing landing pages, websites, widget designs, and banners. The Company receives the Ad Spend or a marketing budget from the client to perform such services. In some instances, these services are performed non-disclosed, meaning the client does not know what the Company paid for the media space, time, or development. The Company recognizes the total Ad Spend of the client as its revenue.
Under the agency-based model, the Company acts as an agent of the client, negotiating deals with media sellers. The client is responsible for paying the media sellers directly or for paying the Company, which then pays the media sellers on behalf of the client. Under the agency-based model, the Company earns revenue by charging clients a platform fee based on a percentage of the client’s total ad spend (Ad Spend) on advertising purchases from the Advertising Inventory Supplier (seller). We keep a portion of that advertising spend as a fee and remit the remainder to the seller. The Company has no leverage to control the cost of the seller’s inventory before the client’s purchase. The platform fee we intend to charge clients is a percentage of their purchases made through our platform, similar to a commission. The platform fee is not contingent on the results of an advertising campaign.
We recognize revenue upon fulfilling our contractual obligations with a complete transaction, subject to satisfying all other revenue recognition criteria.
Reverse Capitalization
On September 28, 2021 (the ‘Acquisition Date’), the Company merged into EvaMedia Corp. (‘EvaMedia). Upon completion of the reverse merger, the Company acquired all issued and outstanding shares of EvaMedia’s capital stock. As a result, the Company issued ( pre-split) shares of its common stock to EvaMedia shareholders, and immediately following the Acquisition, ( pre-split) shares of common stock were issued and outstanding. As a result, EvaMedia’s shareholders control 99.12% of the issued and outstanding shares of the Company on a fully diluted basis. Following the Acquisition, David Boulette of EvaMedia became the company’s CEO, director, and controlling shareholder. He appointed two additional board members from EvaMedia, Phil Aspin and Darly Walser. Terry Fields remained the only board member of the company.
We determine EvaMedia an accounting acquirer based on the following facts: (i) after the reverse merger, former shareholders of EvaMedia held a majority of the voting interest of the combined company; (ii) former Board of Directors of EvaMedia possess majority control of the Board of Directors of the combined company; (iii) members of the management of EvaMedia are responsible for the management of the combined company. As such, we have treated the financial statements of EvaMedia as the historical financial statements of the combined company. Additionally, EvaMedia’s relative size, measured in assets and revenues, is significantly larger than that of the Company.
We have identified the Company as the legal acquirer, as it is the entity that issued securities. Comparatively, we have identified EvaMedia as the legal acquiree, the entity whose equity interests are acquired.
Following the SEC’s order regarding BF Borgers CPA in May 2024, the Company reevaluated the significant transaction as a reverse capitalization rather than a reverse acquisition. On September 28, 2021 (the ‘Acquisition Date’), the Company entered a reverse capitalization transaction (Acquisition) with EvaMedia Corp. (EvaMedia). As per SEC 7050 – Reverse Mergers, A reverse recapitalization is a transaction in which a shell company (as defined in Exchange Act Rule 12b-2) issues its equity interests to effect the acquisition of an operating company. Reverse recapitalization is accounted for as a capital transaction equivalent to the operating company (i.e., the accounting acquirer, EvaMedia) issuing its equity for the net assets of the shell company (the Company), followed by recapitalization. A reverse recapitalization is not accounted for as a business combination because the shell company is not a business. Since reverse recapitalization is not accounted for as a business combination, no goodwill would be recorded because of the reverse recapitalization transaction. Therefore, we have eliminated goodwill of $2,010,606 as of December 31, 2024. Rather, any excess of the fair value of the shares issued by the operating company over the value of the net monetary assets of the shell company is recognized as a reduction to the shell company’s equity. In a reverse recapitalization, the legal acquirer/issuer is typically a shell company, referred to as the Company.
Change of Auditors
On April 03, 2025, the Board of Directors of Eva Live Inc. approved the dismissal of Olayinka Oyebola & Co. (“Olayinka”) as its independent registered public accounting firm for the fiscal year ending 2023 and 2024 due to recent changes in Olayinka’s status by OTC Markets Group as a Prohibited Service Provider. Olayinka was only retained by the Company for less than a month, and no reports were filed with the SEC.
On April 3, 2025, the Company engaged Lao Professionals (“LAO”) as its independent registered public accounting firm for the fiscal years ending December 31, 2023, and 2024. The selection of LAO was based on its ability to meet the Company’s reporting requirements and its alignment with the Company’s needs.
Rounding Error
Due to rounding, the numbers presented in the financial statements for the periods ending June 30, 2025, and December 31, 2024, and throughout the report, may not precisely add up to the totals provided, and percentages may not accurately reflect the absolute figures.

NOTE 2 - SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
Basis of Presentation and Principles of Consolidation
The summary of significant accounting policies presented below is designed to assist in understanding the Company’s financial statements. These financial statements and accompanying notes represent the Company’s management, which is responsible for their integrity and objectivity. These accounting policies conform to accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“GAAP”) in all material respects. We have applied them consistently to prepare the accompanying financial statements.
The results for the three months ended June 30, 2025, and 2024 are not necessarily indicative of the results of operations for the full year. These financial statements and related footnotes should be read in conjunction with the consolidated financial statements and footnotes thereto included in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10K for the year ended December 31, 2024, filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on April 10, 2024.
Financial Statement Preparation and Use of Estimates
Preparing financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclose contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting periods. Actual results could differ from those estimates.
Cash and Cash Equivalents
Cash and cash equivalents include Cash on hand, deposits at banking institutions, and all highly liquid short-term investments with original maturities of 90 days or less. The Company had cash balances of $261,079 and $76,356 as of June 30, 2025, and December 31, 2024, respectively.
Accounts Receivable
Accounts Receivable mainly consist of amounts owed by eleven (11) customers. In some cases, customer receivables are due immediately upon demand; however, in most cases, the Company offers net 45 terms, or n/45, where payment is due in full 45 days after the invoice date. The Company bases the allowance for doubtful accounts on its assessment of the collectability of customer accounts. The Company regularly reviews the allowance by considering historical experience, credit quality, the age of accounts receivable balances, and economic conditions that may affect a customer’s ability to pay and the expected default frequency rates. Trade receivables are written off when they are considered uncollectible.
As of June 30, 2025, and December 31, 2024, management determined that the allowance for doubtful accounts was $1,379,519, respectively. The bad debt expense for the six months ended June 30, 2025, and 2024 was $0 and $5,064, respectively.
Office Lease
Effective May 21, 2020, the Company’s new corporate address was 1800 Century Park East, Suite 600, Los Angeles, CA 90067 (“California Lease”). The Company has signed the California Lease on a month-to-month basis, entitling it to use the office and conference space as needed. The new lease is $229 per month, which is included in the general and administrative expenses. For the six months ended June 30, 2025, and 2024, the office’s rent payment was $1,374, respectively, and was included in the General and Administrative expenses.

NOTE 2 - SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (continued)
Our typical customers are advertising agencies classified under SIC 7319, which advertise using media but do not provide creative services (such as media buying services, including online traffic from EvaMedia). We also work with businesses (as described under NAICS 541810) that are organized to provide a full range of services, including advice, creative services, account management, production of advertising materials, media planning, and buying (i.e., advertising).
The Company earns revenue from advertisers by signing purchase or insertion orders based on Standard Terms and Conditions for Internet Advertising for Media Buys One Year or Less, Version 3.0, as defined in 4’s/IAB. Such terms and conditions are intended to provide media companies and advertising agencies with an acceptable standard for conducting business with each other. When incorporated into an insertion order, this protocol represents the shared understanding of the Company and its customers regarding the conduct of business. The Company may also sign additional documents to cover sponsorships and other arrangements involving content association, integration, and special production. The Company considers an insertion order with its customers to be a binding contract, or other similar documentation that reflects the terms and conditions under which it provides products or services. As a result, the Company considers the insertion order persuasive evidence of an arrangement. Each insertion is specific to the customer, defines each party’s fee schedule, duties, and responsibilities, and is governed by 4’s/IAB Version 3.0 for renewal and termination terms, confidentiality agreement, dispute resolution, and other clauses necessary for such a contract.
The Company adopted ASU 2014-09, Revenue from Contracts with Customers, for insertion/purchase orders or contracts (from now known as ‘contracts’) received from customers.
The Company recognizes revenue to depict the transfer of promised goods or services to customers in an amount that reflects the consideration the Company expects to receive in exchange for those goods or services as per the contract with the customer. As a result, the Company accounts for revenue contracts with customers by applying the requirements of Accounting Standards Codification Topic 606, Revenue from Contracts with Customers (Topic 606), which includes the following steps:
| ● | Identify the contract(s) and subsequent amendments with the customer. | |
| ● | Identify all the performance obligations in the contract and subsequent amendments. | |
| ● | Determine the transaction price for completing performance obligations. | |
| ● | Allocate the transaction price to the performance obligations in the contract. | |
| ● | Recognize the revenue when, or as, the Company satisfies a performance obligation. |
The Company adopted ASC 606 using the modified retrospective method, applying it to all contracts not completed as of January 1, 2018. The Company presents results for reporting periods beginning after January 1, 2018, under ASC 606, while prior period amounts are reported in accordance with legacy GAAP. In addition to the above guidelines, the Company also considers implementation guidance on warranties, customer options, licensing, and other topics. The Company considers revenue collectability, methods for measuring progress toward complete satisfaction of a performance obligation, warranties, customer options for additional goods or services, non-refundable upfront fees, licensing, customer acceptance, and other relevant categories.
The Company accounts for a contract when the Company and the customer (‘parties’) have approved the contract and are committed to performing their respective obligations, where each party can identify their rights, obligations, and payment terms; the contract has commercial substance. The Company will probably collect all of the consideration substantially. Revenue is recognized when performance obligations are satisfied by transferring control of the promised goods or services to the customer. The Company fixes the transaction price for goods and services at contract inception. The Company’s standard payment terms are generally net 30 days, and in some cases, payment is due upon receipt of the invoice.
The Company considers a contract modification to be a change in the scope, price (or both) of a contract that the parties approve. The parties describe contract modification as a change order, a variation, or an amendment. A contract modification exists when the parties to the contract approve a modification that either creates new or changes existing enforceable rights and obligations of the parties to the contract. The Company assumes a contract modification when approved in writing, by oral agreement, or implied through the customer’s customary business practice. If the parties to the contract have not agreed on a contract modification, the Company will continue to apply the guidance to the existing contract until the modification is approved. The Company recognizes contract modification in various forms – including but not limited to partial termination, an extension of the contract term with a corresponding price increase, adding new goods and services to the contract, with or without a corresponding price change, and reducing the contract price without a change in goods or services promised.
| F-11 |
NOTE 2 - SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (continued)
For all its goods and services, at contract inception, the Company assesses the solutions or services, or bundles of solutions and services, obligated in the contract with a customer to identify each performance obligation within the contract and then evaluate whether the performance obligations are capable of being distinct and distinct within the context of the contract. Solutions and services that cannot be distinguished within the context of the agreement are combined and treated as a single performance obligation in determining the allocation and recognition of revenue. For multi-element transactions, the Company allocates the transaction price to each performance obligation based on its relative standalone selling price. The Company determines the standalone selling price for each item at the transaction’s inception, considering these multiple elements.
| Performance Obligation | Types of Deliverables | When Performance Obligation is Typically Satisfied | ||
| Insertion Order for Online Advertising | The Company sets up the advertising campaign on Eva’s demand-side Platform. It specifies the types of ads (banner, search, video, etc.), the placement of the campaign (Website, mobile, or ad networks), and the target audience of the ads (demographics, interests, etc.). | The Company recognizes the consulting revenues when the customer receives services over the length of the contract. If the customer pays the Company in advance for these services, the Company records this payment as deferred revenue until the services are completed. |
The Company assumes that the goods or services promised in the existing contract will be transferred to the customer to determine the transaction price. The Company believes the agreement will not be cancelled, renewed, or modified; therefore, the transaction price includes only those rights the Company has under the present contract. For example, suppose the Company agrees with a customer with an original term of one year and expects the customer to renew for a second year. In that case, the Company will determine the transaction price based on the initial one-year period. When choosing the transaction price, the Company first identifies the fixed consideration, including non-refundable upfront payment amounts.
To allocate the transaction price, the Company allocates an amount that best represents the consideration the entity expects to receive for transferring each promised good or service to the customer. To meet the allocation objective, the Company allocates the transaction price to each performance obligation identified in the contract on a relative, standalone selling price basis. In determining the standalone selling price, the Company uses the best evidence of the standalone selling price that the Company charges to similar customers in similar circumstances. The Company sometimes uses the adjusted market assessment approach to determine the standalone selling price. It evaluates the market in which it sells the goods or services and estimates the price customers would pay for those goods or services when sold separately.
The Company recognizes revenue when or as it transfers the promised goods or services in the contract. The Company considers the “transfers” of the promised goods or services to have occurred when the customer obtains control of the goods or services. The Company believes a customer “obtains control” of an asset when, or as, it can directly use and obtain substantially all the remaining benefits from the asset. The Company recognizes deferred revenue related to services it will deliver within one year as a current liability. The Company presents deferred revenue related to services that the Company will provide more than one year into the future as a non-current liability.
Concentrations of Credit Risk
Financial instruments that potentially subject the Company to concentration of credit risk consist principally of Cash. The Company places its Cash with a major banking institution. The Company had cash balances exceeding the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation limit as of June 30, 2025.
Legal Proceedings
The Company discloses a loss contingency if there is at least a reasonable possibility that a material loss has been incurred. The Company records its best estimate of loss related to pending legal proceedings when the loss is considered probable, and the amount can be reasonably estimated. The Company can reasonably estimate a range of loss with no best estimate; the Company records the minimum estimated liability. As additional information becomes available, the Company assesses the potential liability of pending legal proceedings, revises its estimates, and updates its disclosures accordingly. The Company’s legal costs associated with defending itself are recorded as expenses incurred. The Company is currently not involved in any litigation.
Impairment of Long-Lived Assets
The Company reviews long-lived assets for impairment in accordance with FASB ASC 360, Property, Plant, and Equipment. Long-lived assets are tested for recoverability whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the Company may not be able to recover the carrying amounts. An impairment charge amount is recognized if and when the asset’s carrying value exceeds the fair value.
Provision for Income Taxes
The provision for income taxes is determined using the asset and liability method. This method calculates deferred tax assets and liabilities based on the temporary differences between the consolidated financial statement and income tax bases of assets and liabilities using the enacted tax rates applicable each year.
The Company utilizes a two-step approach to recognizing and measuring uncertain tax positions, commonly referred to as tax contingencies. The first step is to evaluate the tax position for recognition by determining if the weight of available evidence indicates it is more likely than not that the position will be sustained on audit, including resolution of related appeals or litigation processes. The second step is to measure the tax benefit as the largest amount, more than 50%, is likely to be realized upon ultimate settlement.
The Company considers various factors when evaluating and estimating its tax positions and benefits, which may necessitate periodic adjustments and may not accurately predict actual outcomes. The Company includes interest and penalties related to tax contingencies in the provision of income taxes in the consolidated statements of operations. The Management of the Company does not expect the total amount of unrecognized tax benefits to change significantly in the next 12 months.

NOTE 2 - SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (continued)
Website and Software Development Costs
According to ASC 985-20, Software development costs, including expenses incurred to develop software sold, leased, or otherwise marketed, are capitalized after establishing technological feasibility, if significant. The Company amortizes the capitalized software development costs using the straight-line amortization method over the estimated useful life of the application software. By December 2018, the Company completed the activities (planning, designing, coding, and testing) necessary to establish that it could produce and meet the design specifications of the Eva Platform and its various components. The Company estimates the useful life of the software to be three (3) years.
The Company includes certain Website and app purchases as part of these capitalized costs. The capitalization of website costs is a significant portion of the total assets. The Company capitalizes on significant expenses incurred during the application development stage for internal-use software. The Company does not believe that capitalizing software development costs is a material matter.
The Company accounts for website development costs in accordance with Accounting Standards Codification 350-50, “Website Development Costs” (ASC 350-50). The Company capitalizes on external website development costs (“website costs”), which primarily include:
| ● | third-party costs related to acquiring domains and developing applications, | |
| ● | as well as costs incurred to develop or acquire and customize code for web applications, | |
| ● | costs to develop HTML web pages or develop templates and | |
| ● | costs to create original graphics for the website, which included the design and layout of each page. |
The Company also capitalizes on costs incurred for website application and infrastructure development; we account for such costs in accordance with ASC 350-50. The Company estimates the useful life of the Website to be three (3) years.
Share-based compensation to employees and non-employees
The Company applies ASC 718 guidance to account for share-based compensation for certain employees and non-employee individuals, including outsourced employees, non-employee directors, and consultants performing management functions, who are either employees or non-employees of the Company. The differences in accounting for share-based payment awards granted to employees versus non-employees relate to the measurement date and recognition requirements. The Company believes that an employee is the one who has the right to exercise sufficient control to establish an employer-employee relationship, as established in case law and currently outlined in the US Internal Revenue Service (IRS) Revenue Ruling 87-41.
Restricted securities are securities acquired in unregistered, private sales from the Company or an affiliate. The restricted securities require the owner to follow the US Securities and Exchange Commission guidelines defined under Rule 144 - Selling Restricted and Control Securities. On the other hand, restricted shares issued for consideration other than for goods or employee services are fully paid for immediately. As a result, the Company has expensed these shares at the time the contract was signed. There is no vesting period for non-employee stock options.
Fair Value
The Company uses current market values to recognize certain assets and liabilities at a fair value. The fair value is the estimated price at which an asset can be sold, or a liability settled, in an orderly transaction to a third party under current market conditions. The Company uses the following methods and valuation techniques for deriving fair values:
Market Approach – The market approach uses the prices associated with actual market transactions for similar or identical assets and liabilities to derive a fair value.
Income Approach – The income approach utilizes estimated future cash flows or earnings, adjusted by a discount rate that reflects the time value of money and the risk of not achieving the cash flows, to derive a discounted present value.
Cost Approach – The cost approach uses the estimated cost to replace an asset, adjusted for the obsolescence of the existing asset.
The Company ranks the fair value hierarchy of information sources from Level 1 (the most reliable) to Level 3 (the least reliable). The Company uses these three levels to select inputs for valuation techniques:
| Level I | Level 2 | Level 3 | ||
| Level 1 is a quoted price for an identical item in an active market on the measurement date. This is the most reliable evidence of fair value and is used whenever this information is available. | Level 2 is directly or indirectly observable inputs other than quoted prices. An example of a Level 2 input is a valuation multiple for a business unit, based on the sales of comparable entities. | Level 3 is an unobservable input. It may include the Company’s data, adjusted for other reasonably available information. Examples of a Level 3 input are an internally generated financial forecast. |
The Company follows ASC 260, Earnings Per Share, to account for earnings per share. Basic earnings per share (“EPS”) calculations are determined by dividing net loss by the weighted average number of shares of common stock outstanding during the year. Diluted earnings per share calculations are determined by dividing net income by the weighted average number of common shares and dilutive common share equivalents outstanding. As of June 30, 2025, and 2024, the Company had and basic and dilutive shares issued and outstanding, respectively. Common stock equivalents were dilutive during the three months ending June 30, 2025, due to a net income of $1,995,694. As a result, common equivalent shares are included in the computation since their effect is dilutive. Common stock equivalents were dilutive during the three months ending June 30, 2024, due to a net income of $196,709.
Recent Accounting Pronouncements
Other recent accounting pronouncements issued by the FASB (including its Emerging Issues Task Force) and the United States Securities and Exchange Commission did not or are not believed by management to have a material impact on the Company’s present or future consolidated financial statements.
| F-13 |
NOTE 3 – GOING CONCERN
As of June 30, 2025, the Company had an accumulated deficit of $23,848,880 and had not yet generated consistent, significant revenues to achieve a positive cash flow from operations sufficient to cover ongoing expenses. As a result, our independent auditors included an explanatory paragraph in their report on the audited financial statements for the fiscal years ended December 31, 2024, and 2023, expressing substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern.
Our financial statements include additional disclosures outlining the factors contributing to this assessment. They do not include any adjustments related to the recoverability or classification of asset-carrying amounts or the amounts and classification of liabilities, which may be necessary if the Company is unable to continue operations.
Management has evaluated the Company’s ability to meet its obligations over the next twelve months by considering a range of factors, including general economic conditions, key industry indicators, operating performance, capital expenditures, future commitments, and overall liquidity. If the Company is unable to generate sufficient revenue by December 31, 2025, we will require additional capital through funding from existing or new investors, as well as adjustments to improve operational cash flow.
The accumulated deficit on June 30, 2025, and December 31, 2024, was $23,848,880 and $28,469,675, respectively.
During the six months ended June 30, 2025, and 2024, the Company incurred net income of $4,620,795 and a net loss of $163,652, respectively. The working capital surplus as of June 30, 2025, and December 31, 2024, was $6,078,645 and $1,560,391.
Since its inception, the Company has sustained recurring losses and negative cash flows from operations. As of June 30, 2025, and December 31, 2024, the Company had $261,079 and $76,356 in cash. The Company believes that future cash flows may not be sufficient to meet its debt obligations as they become due in the ordinary course of business for the foreseeable future. Prior to the quarter ended June 30, 2025, the Company had experienced negative cash flow from operations and the ongoing requirement for substantial additional capital investment to develop its Eva Platform. The Company must raise additional capital to achieve its growth plan over the next twelve to twenty-four months. The Company expects to obtain additional funding through private equity or public markets. However, there can be no assurance about the availability or terms, such as financing and capital, that might be available.
The Company’s ability to continue as a going concern may depend on the success of management’s plans. The consolidated financial statements do not include any adjustments relating to the recoverability and classification of assets or the amounts and liabilities that might be necessary if the Company cannot continue as a going concern.

The Company intends to continue its efforts to enhance its revenue from its diversified portfolio of technological solutions, become cash flow positive, and raise funds through private placement offerings and debt financing as the Company increases its benefits beyond fiscal 2025.

NOTE 4 – CAPITALIZED WEBSITE AND SOFTWARE DEVELOPMENT COSTS
During the fiscal year ended June 30, 2025, and December 31, 2024, the estimated remaining weighted-average useful life of the Company’s capitalized software was three (3) years. The Company recognizes amortization expenses for capitalized software on a straight-line basis.
At June 30, 2025, and December 31, 2024, there was no gross or unamortized balance of capitalized software costs. As the software is fully amortized as of December 31, 2023, there is no estimated amortization expense in 2024 and beyond.
The Company has estimated aggregate amortization expenses for each of the five succeeding fiscal years, based on the estimated lifespan of the software asset of three (3) years.
NOTE 5 – FURNITURE & FIXTURES
Furniture and fixtures are stated at cost, net of accumulated depreciation. Costs include all expenditures directly attributable to the acquisition, including shipping, installation, and setup costs.
Depreciation Method:
Depreciation is calculated using the straight-line method over the estimated useful lives of the respective assets.
Estimated Useful Lives:
Furniture and Fixtures: 5 to 7 years
Commencement of Depreciation:
Depreciation begins when the asset is placed into service and continues through the end of its estimated useful life or until it is disposed of or retired.
Review of Useful Lives and Residual Value:
The estimated useful lives and residual values of furniture and fixtures are reviewed at least annually. Adjustments are made prospectively if there are changes in the expected pattern of economic benefits.
Disposals and Retirements:
Upon disposal or retirement of furniture and fixtures, the asset cost and related accumulated depreciation are removed from the accounts. Any resulting gain or loss is recognized in the statement of operations.
Impairment:
Furniture and fixtures are evaluated for impairment when events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying value of the assets may not be recoverable. An impairment loss is recognized if the asset’s carrying amount exceeds its estimated future cash flows.
The Company purchased furniture valued at $6,498 at the end of the fiscal year 2024. As the Company has not placed the furniture into service, there is no depreciation expense for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2024.
During the three months ended June 30, 2025, the Company purchased additional furniture with a cost of $7,581. As of June 30, 2025, the gross carrying amount of furniture was $14,079, with accumulated depreciation of $787, resulting in a net book value of $13,292.

Mr. Boulette is eligible for an annual performance bonus equivalent to 5% of the Company’s net profits before taxes, as determined by the Board of Directors based on the audited financial statements of the preceding fiscal year.

No options vest prior to January 1, 2026 (Cliff Vesting Date). 20% of the options ( shares) will vest on January 1, 2026, with an additional 20% vesting on each of the following four anniversaries of the grant date (May 31, 2026 – May 31, 2029), subject to continued employment.

The agreement includes indemnification provisions, as well as standard confidentiality and non-disclosure clauses. The fair value of the stock options granted will be recognized as stock-based compensation expense over the vesting period, commencing from the grant date, using the straight-line method.
The Company calculated the grant-date fair value of the options using the Black-Scholes option pricing model in accordance with ASC 718. Due to limited trading history, the Company estimated expected volatility using a peer group of publicly traded advertising technology companies, including The Trade Desk (TTD), PubMatic (PUBM), and Magnite (MGNI), with observed historical volatilities ranging from approximately 58% to 127%. Based on this analysis, the Company used a peer-average volatility of 87%.
Additional assumptions included: a risk-free interest rate of 4.2%, an expected term of 10 years, and no expected dividend yield. The resulting grant-date fair value was approximately $ per option, or $39.2 million in total, to be recognized on a straight-line basis over the vesting period beginning after January 1, 2026. As of June 30, 2025, no stock-based compensation expense was recognized due to the cliff vesting provision. No expense has been recognized for the quarter ended June 30, 2025, due to the cliff vesting condition.

Together with
Report of Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm
EVA LIVE INC.
Index to Consolidated Financial Statement
| F-21 |
REPORT OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM
To the Board of Directors and Stockholders of Eva Live Inc.
Opinion on the Financial Statements
We have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheets of Eva Live, Inc. (the ‘Company’) as of December 31, 2024, and 2023, and the related consolidated statements of operations, comprehensive income, changes in stockholders’ equity and cash flows for each of the two years ended December 31, 2024, and 2023, and the related notes (collectively referred to as the “financial statements”). In our opinion, the consolidated financial statements present fairly, in all material respects, the consolidated financial position of the Company as of December 31, 2024, and 2023, and the results of its operations and its cash flows for each of the two years ended December 31, 2024, and 2023, in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.
Going Concern
The accompanying consolidated financial statements have been prepared assuming that the Company will continue as a going concern. As discussed in Note 3, the Company suffered an accumulated deficit of $(28,469,675). These matters raise substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern. Management’s plans with regards to these matters are also described in Note 2 to the financial statements. These financial statements do not include any adjustments that might result from the outcome of this uncertainty.
Basis for Opinion
These financial statements are the responsibility of the Company’s management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on the Company’s financial statements based on our audit. We are a public accounting firm registered with the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States) (“PCAOB”) and are required to be independent with respect to the Company in accordance with the U.S. federal securities laws and the applicable rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission and the PCAOB.
We conducted our audits in accordance with the standards of the PCAOB. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audits to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement, whether due to error or fraud. The Company is not required to have, nor were we engaged to perform, an audit of its internal control over financial reporting. As part of our audits, we are required to obtain an understanding of internal control over financial reporting but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the Company’s internal control over financial reporting. Accordingly, we express no such opinion.
Our audits included performing procedures to assess the risks of material misstatement of the financial statements, whether due to error or fraud, and performing procedures that respond to those risks. Such procedures included examining, on a test basis, evidence regarding the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. Our audits also included evaluating the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall presentation of the financial statements. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.
Critical Audit Matters
Critical audit matters are matters arising from the current period audit of the financial statements that were communicated or required to be communicated to the audit committee and that: (1) relate to accounts or disclosures that are material to the financial statements and (2) involved our especially challenging, subjective, or complex judgments. Communication of critical audit matters does not alter in any way our opinion on the financial statements taken as a whole and we are not, by communicating the critical audit matters, providing separate opinions on the critical audit matter or on the accounts or disclosures to which they relate.
Going Concern Uncertainty
As described in Note 3 to the consolidated financial statements, the Company has significant operating losses and a working capital deficiency. The ability of the Company to continue as a going concern is dependent on obtaining additional working capital funding from the sale of equity and/or debt securities to execute its plans and continue operations. These conditions raise substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern.
The procedures performed to address the matter included.
| ● | We inquired of executive officers, and key members of management, of the Company regarding factors that would have an impact on the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern, | |
| ● | We evaluated management’s plan for addressing the adverse effects of the conditions identified, including assessing the reasonableness of forecasted information and underlying assumptions by comparing to actual results of prior periods and actual results achieved to date, and utilizing our knowledge of the entity, its business and management in considering liquidity needs and the Company’s ability to generate sufficient cash flow, | |
| ● | We assessed the possibility of raising additional debt or credit through confirmation with related and third parties of the details of arrangements to provide or maintain financial supports. | |
| ● | Inquiry of the Company’s legal counsel about litigation, claims, and assessments. | |
| ● | We evaluated the completeness and accuracy of disclosures in the consolidated financial statements. | |
| ● | We evaluated management’s judgements and assumptions used to assess the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern |

NOTE 1. BUSINESS DESCRIPTION AND NATURE OF OPERATIONS
NATURE OF OPERATIONS
Background
Eva Live Inc. (the “Company”) was incorporated under the laws of the State of Nevada on August 27, 2002, as International Pit Boss Gaming, Inc. On October 1, 2002, the Company merged with Pro Roads Systems, Inc. (a Florida corporation), a public shell company traded on the pink sheets. Pro Roads Systems, Inc. had no operations before the merger. The purpose of the merger was to change the Company’s domicile from Florida to Nevada. From its inception to 2006, the Company designed and developed software for the gaming industry. The Company changed its name on February 14, 2006, to Logo Industries Corporation and, on November 18, 2008, to Malwin Ventures Inc. On February 11, 2014, the Company announced negotiations with Impact Future Media LLC, and their President/Founder, Francois Garcia, acquired 100% of Impact Future Media LLC and its media and entertainment assets. The Company announced the closing of this transaction on March 25, 2014. From March 2014 to September 28, 2021, the Company was involved in the entertainment, publishing, and interactive industry.
The Company’s year-end is December 31.
Current Operations
We execute our business through Eva Platform based on Artificial Intelligence, or AI, to match advertising campaigns to specific ad spots one at a time. Our system creates conversion mapping tables that allow us to increase conversion rates by analyzing those trends with optimized historical conversion rates and further capitalizing on and improving those rates. We leverage “big data,” an accumulation of data that is too large and complex for traditional database management tools to process. Since more companies are attempting to leverage big data to make strategic business decisions, we have built automated tools that analyze the data and feed the relevant information into our decision logic. We have designed our solution to optimize brand campaigns to create brand awareness and direct response campaigns with a fixed conversion point.
From September 28, 2021, the Company operates at the junction of digital marketing and media monetization. We enable market awareness of companies and brands by providing best-in-class digital marketing and monetization services on the Internet. Our typical customers are advertising agencies (classified under SIC7319) and businesses in various industries seeking to market their products and services using our platform, including media companies, financial institutions, and other retail entities. Most of our customers are from North America, mainly the US and Canada. For the fiscal year ending December 31, 2024, we had six (6) customers, primarily from North America, compared to seven (7) customers for the fiscal year ending December 31, 2023. The top three customers represent 85% and 93% of revenue for the fiscal year ending December 31, 2024, and 2023. Our company’s financial health is highly dependent on these top customers. If any of them were to significantly reduce their spending or cease doing business with your company, it could have a major impact on your revenue and overall financial health. These clients utilize our platform to advertise with media outlets and participate in media buying services, including acquiring online traffic through the Eva Platform. We also deal with businesses (as described under NAICS 541810) that utilize our in-house digital marketing capabilities, including advice, creative services, account management, production of advertising material, media planning, and buying (i.e., placing advertising).
In November 2020, the Company completed the development of the Eva XML Platform, where the Platform buys traffic from various sources and sells that traffic to landing pages that display advertising via XML feeds. A price discrepancy exists between buying traffic on display and native platforms for specific keywords in an ad campaign and the XML search feeds. The Eval XML Platform manages the entire ad buying/selling process by integrating into Google, Microsoft, Taboola, Revcontent, Gemini, and Facebook. The Eva XML Platform creates thousands of ads with the push of a button. The Eva XML Platform manages the spending depending on the performance of keywords in the ad campaign to maximize the arbitrage revenue.
The Company earns revenues from advertisers by signing purchase or insertion orders based on Standard Terms and Conditions for Internet Advertising for Media Buys One Year or Less, Version 3.0, as defined in 4’s/IAB. We intend to offer media companies and advertising agencies a standard for conducting business acceptable to both parties based on such terms and conditions. When incorporated into an insertion order, this protocol represents the Company and its customers’ shared understanding of doing business. The Company may also sign additional documents to cover sponsorships and other arrangements involving content association, integration, and special production. The Company considers an insertion order with its customers, a binding contract with the customer, or other similar documentation reflecting the terms and conditions under which it provides products or services. As a result, the Company considers the insertion order persuasive evidence of an arrangement. Each insertion is specific to the customer, defines each party’s fee schedule, duties, and responsibilities, and is governed by 4’s/IAB Version 3.0 for renewal and termination terms, confidentiality agreement, dispute resolution, and other clauses necessary for such contract.
We sign the Interactive Advertising Bureau (IAB) and the American Association of Advertising Agencies (4As) standard terms and conditions for internet advertising for media buys one year or less. We execute an Insertion Order (IO) with our customers, a formal, contractual document used in advertising. It outlines the specifics of an advertising campaign a client has agreed to run with an advertising sales agency or a publisher. It serves as a purchase order but for media space or time slots, and its primary function is to specify the obligations of all parties involved. We comply with the IO, including all Ad placement restrictions, and provide Ads to the Site specified on the IO when an Internet user visits such a Site. We sent the initial invoice upon completion of the first month’s delivery or within 30 days of completion of the IO, whichever is earlier. Our customers will make payment 30 days from receipt of the invoice or as otherwise stated in a payment schedule set forth on the IO. We hold customers liable for payments solely to the extent proceeds have cleared from Advertiser to Agency for Ads placed following the IO. We provide reports at least as often as weekly, either electronically or in writing, unless otherwise specified on the IO. Our customers may cancel the entire IO, or any portion thereof, as follows:
| ● | With 14 days prior written notice to us, without penalty, for any guaranteed Deliverable, including, but not limited to, CPM (cost per thousand impressions) Deliverables. | |
| ● | With seven (7) days prior written notice to us, without penalty, for any non-guaranteed Deliverable, including, but not limited to, CPC (cost per clicks) Deliverables, CPL (cost per leads) Deliverables, or CPA (cost per acquisition) Deliverables, as well as some non-guaranteed CPM Deliverables. | |
| ● | With 30 days prior written notice to us, without penalty, for any flat fee-based or fixed-placement Deliverables. | |
| ● | Either party may terminate an IO at any time if the other party is in material breach of its obligations hereunder, which breach is not cured within ten days after receipt of written notice thereof from the non-breaching party. |

NOTE 1. BUSINESS DESCRIPTION AND NATURE OF OPERATIONS (continued)
Our contract includes other standard terms and conditions, including but not limited to – force majeure, indemnification, limitation of liability, non-disclosure, data usage and ownership, privacy and laws, third-party ad serving and tracking (applicable if third-party ad server is used), and other legally binding clauses.

Russia – Ukraine Conflict
The geopolitical situation in Eastern Europe intensified on February 24, 2022, with Russia’s invasion of Ukraine. The war between the two countries continues to evolve as military activity continues. The United States and certain European countries have imposed additional sanctions on Russia and specific individuals. The Company has no operation exposure in the region affected by war. As of the date of this report, there has been no disruption in our operations.
AdFlare Acquisition
In a related party transaction, on July 13, 2022, the Company entered into a Share Exchange Agreement (“AdFlare SEA”) with AdFlare Limited, a company duly formed under the laws of Ireland (Reg. Number: 714192) (“AdFlare”), and the shareholders of AdFlare, Phil Aspin, an individual and Stephen Adds, an individual (collectively, the “Shareholders”) whereby the Company acquired One Hundred (100%) percent of the issued and outstanding shares of AdFlare in exchange for shares of the Company’s restricted common stock valued at $1,500,000 using the discounted cash flow methodology. Mr. Phil Aspin, co-founder of AdFlare, has been a member of the Company’s Board of Directors since September 28, 2021. The Company carried out the Goodwill Impairment Analysis as of December 31, 2022, where the carrying value of the Goodwill as of December 31, 2022, is $1,500,000. The fair market value of the implied Goodwill is approximately $0, which is less than the carrying value, and thus, the impairment as of December 31, 2022, is $1,500,000.
| F-28 |
NOTE 1. BUSINESS DESCRIPTION AND NATURE OF OPERATIONS (continued)
AdFlare, a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company, is a leader in the specialized field of “Header Bidding,” with a deep contextual understanding of an array of ad technologies spanning search, display, and video across mobile and desktop, providing solutions to help all publishers drive revenue. Header bidding, also known as advance or pre-bidding, is a technology wherein publishers simultaneously offer their inventory to multiple ad exchanges, advertisers, and agencies. The idea is that by letting various buyers bid on the same inventory at the same time, in real-time, there’s more competition driving up the auction pressure and a chance to serve each impression at a higher Cost Per Mille rate (“CPM rate”), meaning capturing additional revenue. AdFlare has a track record of delivering over 1 billion ad impressions a month and increasing Google AdX over Google AdSense CPM by over 30%, with an average fill rate of 99.9% in the US market.
The table below represents the Goodwill recorded based on management’s preliminary assessment of the Acquisition Date fair value of the assets acquired and liabilities assumed:
| Description | Book Value, $ | |||
| Consideration or purchase price | 1,500,000 | |||

NOTE 1. BUSINESS DESCRIPTION AND NATURE OF OPERATIONS (continued)
Reverse Capitalization
On September 28, 2021 (the ‘Acquisition Date’), the Company merged into EvaMedia Corp. (‘EvaMedia). Upon completion of the reverse merger, the Company acquired all issued and outstanding shares of EvaMedia’s capital stock. As a result, the Company issued ( pre-split) shares of the Company’s common stock to shareholders of EvaMedia, and immediately following the Acquisition, ( pre-split) shares of common stock were issued and outstanding. As a result, EvaMedia’s shareholders control 99.12% of issued and outstanding shares of the Company on a fully diluted basis. Following the Acquisition, David Boulette of EvaMedia became the company’s CEO, director, and controlling shareholder. He appointed two additional board members from EvaMedia, Phil Aspin and Darly Walser. Terry Fields remained the only board member of the company.
We determine EvaMedia an accounting acquirer based on the following facts: (i) after the reverse merger, former shareholders of EvaMedia held a majority of the voting interest of the combined company; (ii) former Board of Directors of EvaMedia possess majority control of the Board of Directors of the combined company; (iii) members of the management of EvaMedia are responsible for the management of the combined company. As such, we have treated the financial statements of EvaMedia as the historical financial statements of the combined company, and (iv) EvaMedia’s relative size measured in assets and revenues is significantly larger than that of the Company.
We have identified the Company as the legal acquirer, as it is the entity that issued securities. Comparatively, we have identified EvaMedia as the legal acquiree, the entity whose equity interests are acquired.
After the SEC’s order on BF Borgers CPA in May 2024, the Company reevaluated the significant transaction as reverse capitalization instead of a reverse acquisition. On September 28, 2021 (the ‘Acquisition Date’), the Company entered a reverse capitalization transaction (Acquisition) with EvaMedia Corp. (EvaMedia). As per SEC 7050 – Reverse Mergers, A reverse recapitalization is a transaction in which a shell company (as defined in Exchange Act Rule 12b-2) issues its equity interests to effect the acquisition of an operating company. Reverse recapitalization is accounted for as a capital transaction equivalent to the operating company (i.e., the accounting acquirer, EvaMedia) issuing its equity for the net assets of the shell company (the Company), followed by recapitalization. A reverse recapitalization is not accounted for as a business combination because the shell company is not a business. Since reverse recapitalization is not accounted for as a business combination, no goodwill would be recorded because of the reverse recapitalization transaction. Therefore, we have eliminated goodwill of $2,010,606 as of December 31, 2024. Rather, any excess of the fair value of the shares issued by the operating company over the value of the net monetary assets of the shell company is recognized as a reduction to equity. In a reverse recapitalization, the legal acquirer/issuer is a shell company, the Company.

NOTE 2 - SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (continued)
Basis of Presentation and Principles of Consolidation
The summary of significant accounting policies presented below is designed to assist in understanding the Company’s financial statements. Such financial statements and accompanying notes represent the Company’s management, which is responsible for its integrity and objectivity. These accounting policies conform to accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“GAAP”) in all material respects. We have applied them consistently in preparing the accompanying financial statements.
Financial Statement Preparation and Use of Estimates
Preparing financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclose contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting periods. Actual results could differ from those estimates.
Cash and Cash Equivalents
Cash and cash equivalents include Cash on hand, deposits at banking institutions, and all highly liquid short-term investments with original maturities of 90 days or less. The Company had a cash balance of $76,356 and $472,509 as of December 31, 2024, and 2023.
Accounts Receivable
Accounts Receivable primarily represent the amount due from six (6) customers. In some cases, the customer receivables are due immediately on demand; however, in most cases, the Company offers net 30 terms or n/30 or net 60 terms or n/60, where the payment is due in full 30 or 60 days after the invoice’s date. The Company bases the allowance for doubtful accounts on its assessment of the collectability of customer accounts. The Company regularly reviews the allowance by considering historical experience, credit quality, the accounts receivable balances’ age, and economic conditions that may affect a customer’s ability to pay and expected default frequency rates. Trade receivables are written off at the point when they are considered uncollectible.
On December 31, 2024, and 2023, management determined that the allowance for doubtful accounts was $1,379,519 and $1,216,204, respectively. The fiscal year’s bad debt expense ended December 31, 2024, and 2023 was $25,928 and $753,475, respectively.
Office Lease
Effective May 21, 2020, the Company’s new corporate address was 1800 Century Park East, Suite 600, Los Angeles, CA 90067 (“California Lease”). The Company has signed the California Lease on a month-to-month basis, entitled the Company to use the office and conference space on a need-only basis. The new lease is $229 per month, included in the General and Administrative expenses. For the fiscal year ended December 31, 2024, and 2023, the office’s rent payment was $2,748 and $2,748, included in the General and administrative expenses.
| F-31 |
NOTE 2 - SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (continued)
Our typical customers are advertising agencies classified under SIC7319 and businesses in various industries seeking to market their products and services using our platform, including media companies, financial institutions, and other retail entities. Our customers advertise with the media but perform no creative services (media buying services such as online traffic from Eva Live). We also deal with businesses (as described under NAICS 541810) organized to provide a full range of services (i.e., through in-house capabilities or subcontracting), including advice, creative services, account management, production of advertising material, media planning, and buying (i.e. placing advertising).
The Company earns revenues from advertisers by signing purchase or insertion orders based on Standard Terms and Conditions for Internet Advertising for Media Buys One Year or Less, Version 3.0, as defined in 4’s/IAB. Such terms and conditions offer media companies and advertising agencies an acceptable standard for conducting business for both parties. When incorporated into an insertion order, this protocol represents the Company and its customers’ shared understanding of doing business. The Company may also sign additional documents to cover sponsorships and other arrangements involving content association, integration, and special production. The Company considers an insertion order with its customers, a binding contract with the customer, or other similar documentation reflecting the terms and conditions under which it provides products or services. As a result, the Company considers the insertion order persuasive evidence of an arrangement. Each insertion is specific to the customer, defines each party’s fee schedule, duties, and responsibilities, and is governed by 4’s/IAB Version 3.0 for renewal and termination terms, confidentiality agreement, dispute resolution, and other clauses necessary for such contract.
The Company adopted ASU 2014-09 Revenue for insertion/purchase orders, or contract(s) (from now on known as ‘contracts’) received from customers.
The Company recognizes revenue to depict the transfer of promised goods or services to customers in an amount that reflects the consideration the Company expects to receive in exchange for those goods or services as per the contract with the customer. As a result, the Company accounts for revenue contracts with customers by applying the requirements of Accounting Standards Codification Topic 606, Revenue from Contracts with Customers (Topic 606), which includes the following steps:
| ● | Identify the contract(s) and subsequent amendments with the customer. | |
| ● | Identify all the performance obligations in the contract and subsequent amendments. | |
| ● | Determine the transaction price for completing performance obligations. | |
| ● | Allocate the transaction price to the performance obligations in the contract. | |
| ● | Recognize the revenue when, or as, the Company satisfies a performance obligation. |
The Company adopted ASC 606 using the modified retrospective method applied to all contracts not completed as of January 1, 2018. The Company presents results for reporting periods beginning after January 1, 2018, under ASC 606, while prior period amounts are reported following legacy GAAP. In addition to the above guidelines, the Company also considers implementation guidance on warranties, customer options, licensing, and other topics. The Company considers revenue collectability, methods for measuring progress toward complete satisfaction of a performance obligation, warranties, customer options for additional goods or services, non-refundable upfront fees, licensing, customer acceptance, and other relevant categories.
The Company accounts for a contract when the Company and the customer (‘parties’) have approved the contract and are committed to performing their respective obligations, where each party can identify their rights, obligations, and payment terms; the contract has commercial substance. The Company will probably collect all of the consideration substantially. Revenue is recognized when performance obligations are satisfied by transferring control of the promised service to a customer. The Company fixes the transaction price for goods and services at contract inception. The Company’s standard payment terms are generally net 30 days and, in some cases, due upon receipt of the invoice.
The Company considers contract modification as a change in the scope or price (or both) of a contract that the parties approve. The parties describe contract modification as a change order, a variation, or an amendment. A contract modification exists when the parties to the contract approve a modification that either creates new or changes the existing enforceable rights and obligations of the parties to the contract. The Company assumes a contract modification when approved in writing, by oral agreement or implied by the customary business practice of the customer. If the parties to the contract have not agreed on a contract modification, the Company continues to apply the guidance to the existing contract until the contract modification is approved. The Company recognizes contract modification in various forms – including but not limited to partial termination, an extension of the contract term with a corresponding price increase, adding new goods and services to the contract, with or without a corresponding price change, and reducing the contract price without a change in goods or services promised.
| F-32 |
NOTE 2 - SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (continued)
Revenue Recognition Policy
We generate revenues as a principal-based or an agency-based service provider.
Under the principal-based model, the Company takes a principal position in the contract. The Company uses its platform to buy media (advertising inventory) directly from the media sellers. The Company repackages the advertising inventory for sale to Clients. The Company also performs other advertising and branding work for the Client – such as developing landing pages, websites, widget designs, banner designs, etc. The Company receives the Ad Spend or a marketing budget from the Client to perform such services. In some instances, these services are performed on a non-disclosure basis, meaning the Client does not know what the Company paid for the media space, time, or development. The Company recognizes the total Ad Spend of the Client as its revenue.
Under the agency-based model, the Company acts as an agent of the Client and negotiates deals with media sellers. The Client is responsible for paying the media sellers directly or for paying the Company, which then pays the media sellers on behalf of the Client. Under the agency-based model, the Company earns revenue by charging Clients a platform fee based on a percentage of a Client’s total spend (Ad Spend) on the purchase of the advertising from the Advertising Inventory Supplier (seller). We keep a percentage of that advertising spend as a fee and remit the remainder to the seller. The Company does not have any leverage to control the cost of seller inventory before the purchase by the Client. The platform fee we intend to charge Clients is a percentage of their purchases through our platform, similar to a commission, and the platform fee is not contingent on the results of an advertising campaign.
We recognize revenue upon fulfilling our contractual obligations with a completed transaction, subject to satisfying all other revenue recognition criteria.
Revenue Recognition
We generate revenue from Clients who enter into legally binding agreements with us to use our Eva Demand Side Platform (EVA DSP) and other digital marketing software platforms. We use the following criteria to determine revenue recognition through the following steps:
| ● | Identification of a legally binding contract with a customer and contract approval by all parties; |
| ● | Identification of the performance obligations and rights regarding the goods or services in the contract; |
| ● | Determination of the transaction price and payment terms; |
| ● | Allocation of the transaction price to the performance obligations in the contract; |
| ● | Recognition of revenue when or as the performance obligations are satisfied; and |
| ● | Collectability of substantially all of the considerations is probable. |
We keep agreements with each Client and seller in the form of insertion orders or MSAs, which set out the terms and conditions of the relationship and give access to our platform. Our performance obligation is to provide the use of our platform to Clients to build ad campaigns and select the advertising inventory, data, and other add-on features.
From time to time, the Company will judge if it acts as the principal or agent. As a result, the Company will decide to report revenue on a gross (Ad Spend) basis when acting as a principal for the amount spent on the platform or a net basis for the platform fees charged to the Client when acting as the agent. The Company considers the following guidelines to determine if the Company is acting as a Principal or an Agent to complete its performance obligation:
| GAAP Consideration | Principal-Based | Agency-Based | ||
| Is another party responsible for fulfilling the contract? | No | Yes | ||
| Who owns the advertising inventory? | Company | Media Seller/Client | ||
| Who has the discretion in establishing prices for the other advertising inventory? | The Company, as it owns advertising inventory and other branding collateral to resell it to the Client. | Media Seller | ||
| The Company’s consideration is in the form of a commission. | No | Yes | ||
| Is the Company exposed to credit risk for the amount receivable/Ad Spend from the Client customer in exchange for the other party’s goods or services? | Yes, the Company carries the risk for the amount equal to the Ad Spend and is responsible for paying the media seller. | No, the Client pays the media seller directly, or the Client pays the Company, which pays the media seller. All fully disclosed. |
We intend to disaggregate revenue into categories to provide useful information to the users of financial statements about the nature, amount, timing, and uncertainty of revenue and cash flows. As our customer base expands or we start licensing our platform to third parties or our customers, we intend to divide our revenues into two categories:
| a) | Campaign Revenues: Revenues derived from the principal-based model. | |
| b) | Subscription Revenues: Revenues sourced from the agency-based model. |
At present, we derive all revenues from the principal-based model.
| F-33 |
NOTE 2 - SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (continued)
For all its goods and services, at contract inception, the Company assesses the solutions or services, or bundles of solutions and services, obligated in the contract with a customer to identify each performance obligation within the contract and then evaluate whether the performance obligations are capable of being distinct and distinct within the context of the contract. Solutions and services that are not capable of being distinct and distinct within the context of the agreement are combined and treated as a single performance obligation in determining the allocation and recognition of revenue. For multi-element transactions, the Company allocates the transaction price to each performance obligation on a relative standalone selling price basis. The Company determines the standalone selling price for each item at the transaction’s inception involving these multiple elements.
Performance Obligation |
Types of Deliverables | When Performance Obligation is Typically Satisfied | ||
| Insertion Order for Online Advertising | The Company sets up the advertising campaign on Eva’s demand-side Platform. It specifies types of ads (banner, search, video, etc.), place of the campaign (Website, mobile, or ad networks), and target of the ads (demographics, interests, etc.). | The Company recognizes the consulting revenues when the customer receives services over the length of the contract. If the customer pays the Company in advance for these services, the Company records such payment as deferred revenue until the Company completes the services. |
The Company assumes that the goods or services promised in the existing contract will be transferred to the customer to determine the transaction price. The Company believes the agreement will not be canceled, renewed, or modified; therefore, the transaction price includes only those the Company has rights to under the present contract. For example, suppose the Company agrees with a customer with an original term of one year and expects the customer to renew for a second year. In that case, the Company will determine the transaction price based on the initial one-year period. When choosing the transaction price, the Company first identifies the fixed consideration, including non-refundable upfront payment amounts.
To allocate the transaction price, the Company allocates an amount that best represents the consideration the entity expects to receive for transferring each promised good or service to the customer. To meet the allocation objective, the Company allocates the transaction price to each performance obligation identified in the contract on a relative standalone selling price basis. In determining the standalone selling price, the Company uses the best evidence of the standalone selling price that the Company charges to similar customers in similar circumstances. The Company sometimes uses the adjusted market assessment approach to determine the standalone selling price. It evaluates the market in which it sells the goods or services and estimates the price customers would pay for those goods or services when sold separately.
The Company recognizes revenue when or as it transfers the promised goods or services in the contract. The Company considers the “transfers” of the promised goods or services when the customer obtains control of the goods or services. The Company believes a customer “obtains control” of an asset when, or as, it can directly use and obtain all the remaining benefits from the asset substantially. The Company recognizes deferred revenue related to services it will deliver within one year as a current liability. The Company presents deferred revenue related to services that the Company will provide more than one year into the future as a non-current liability.
Concentrations of Credit Risk
Financial instruments that potentially subject the Company to concentration of credit risk consist principally of Cash. The Company places its Cash with a major banking institution. The Company did not have cash balances over the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation limit on December 31, 2024.

NOTE 2 - SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (continued)
Legal Proceedings
The Company discloses a loss contingency if at least there is a reasonable possibility that a material loss has been incurred. The Company records its best estimate of loss related to pending legal proceedings when the loss is considered probable, and the amount can be reasonably estimated. The Company can reasonably estimate a range of losses with no best estimate; the Company records the minimum estimated liability. As additional information becomes available, the Company assesses the potential liability of pending legal proceedings, revises its estimates, and updates its disclosures accordingly. The Company’s legal costs associated with defending itself are recorded as expenses incurred. The Company is currently not involved in any litigation.
Impairment of Long-Lived Assets
The Company reviews long-lived assets for impairment following FASB ASC 360, Property, Plant, and Equipment. Long-lived assets are tested for recoverability whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the Company may not recover the carrying amounts. An impairment charge amount is recognized if and when the asset’s carrying value exceeds the fair value.
On July 13, 2022, the Company entered into a Share Exchange Agreement (“AdFlare SEA”) with AdFlare Limited, a company duly formed under the laws of Ireland (Reg. Number: 714192) (“AdFlare”), and the shareholders of AdFlare, Phil Aspin, an individual and Stephen Adds, an individual (collectively, the “Shareholders”) whereby the Company acquired One Hundred (100%) percent of the issued and outstanding shares of AdFlare in exchange for shares of the Company’s restricted common stock valued at $1,500,000. The Company carried out the Goodwill Impairment Analysis as of December 31, 2022, where the carrying value of the Goodwill as of December 31, 2022, is $1,500,000. The fair market value of the implied Goodwill is approximately $0, which is less than the carrying value, and thus, the impairment as of December 31, 2022, is $1,500,000.
Provision for Income Taxes
The provision for income taxes is determined using the asset and liability method. This method calculates deferred tax assets and liabilities based on the temporary differences between the consolidated financial statement and income tax bases of assets and liabilities using the enacted tax rates applicable yearly.
The Company utilizes a two-step approach to recognizing and measuring uncertain tax positions (“tax contingencies”). The first step is to evaluate the tax position for recognition by determining if the weight of available evidence indicates it is more likely than not that the position will be sustained on audit, including resolution of related appeals or litigation processes. The second step is to measure the tax benefit as the largest amount, more than 50%, is likely to be realized upon ultimate settlement.
The Company considers many factors when evaluating and estimating its tax positions and benefits, which may require periodic adjustments and may not accurately forecast actual outcomes. The Company includes interest and penalties related to tax contingencies in the provision of income taxes in the consolidated statements of operations. The Company’s management does not expect the total amount of unrecognized tax benefits to change significantly in the next 12 months.

NOTE 2 - SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (continued)
Website and Software Development Costs
By ASC 985-20, Software development costs, including costs to develop software sold, leased, or otherwise marketed, are capitalized after establishing technological feasibility, if significant. The Company amortizes the Capitalized software development costs using the straight-line amortization method over the estimated useful life of the application software. For an arrangement to be considered a software lease (as opposed to a service contract), our Eva Platform meets both of the following criteria:
| a) | The customer has the contractual right to take possession of the software at any time during the hosting period without incurring a significant penalty. | |
| b) | It is feasible for the customer to either operate the software on its hardware or contract with another party (unrelated to the vendor) to host the software. |
By December 2018, the Company completed the activities (planning, designing, coding, and testing) necessary to establish that it could produce and meet the design specifications of the Eva Platform and its various components. The Company estimates the useful life of the software to be three (3) years.
The Company includes certain Website and app purchases as part of these capitalized costs. The capitalization of website costs is a significant portion of the total assets. The Company capitalizes on significant expenses incurred during the application development stage for internal-use software. The Company does not believe that capitalizing software development costs is material.
The Company accounts for website development costs following Accounting Standards Codification 350-50 “Website Development Costs” (ASC 350-50). The Company capitalizes on external website development costs (“website costs”), which primarily include:
| ● | third-party costs related to acquiring domains and developing applications, | |
| ● | as well as costs incurred to develop or acquire and customize code for web applications, | |
| ● | costs to develop HTML web pages or develop templates and | |
| ● | costs to create original graphics for the Website that included the design or layout of each page. |
The Company also capitalizes on costs incurred in website application and infrastructure development; we account for such costs following ASC 350-50. The Company estimates the useful life of the Website to be three (3) years.
The Company completed the development of the Eva Platform to sell, lease, or otherwise market the software externally. Eva Platform buys traffic from various sources and sells traffic to landing pages that display advertising via XML feeds. A price discrepancy exists between buying traffic on display and native platforms for specific keywords in an ad campaign and the XML search feeds.
| F-36 |
NOTE 2 - SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (continued)
After the Company completed the technological feasibility of the Eva Platform, the Company capitalized a net cost of $792,500. The R&D expense is estimated at $47,500 per the Company’s certification provided by David Boulette, CEO. The life of the Eva/XML platform is estimated to be three years or 36 months.
The Eva Platform manages the entire ad buying/selling process by integrating into Google, Microsoft, Taboola, Revcontent, Gemini, and Facebook and allows thousands of ads to be created with a push of a button. The Eva Platform manages the money spent depending on keywords’ performance in the ad campaign to maximize the arbitrage revenue.
Eva Platform can function as standalone software or be sold or embedded in the Eva Platform, which the Company can lease to customers. The Company intends to sell, license, and market the Eva Platform to customers, where customers will have direct access to the software. The Company plans to install the Eva Platform on the customer’s hardware. Since the Eva Platform is fully automated, the customers can use the platform ‘as is’ without compromising the ability to use software or limiting value or utility. The Company provides both customer and technical support as part of the lease. The marginal cost of the download is insignificant.
Techno-economic feasibility Studies of the Eva Platform aimed to determine the project’s technical feasibility and financial viability, assess the risks associated with its development, and list activities and related costs.
From February 1, 2020, to March 15, 2020, David Boulette started the initial research and techno-feasibility into creating an XML Arbitrage Management Program branded as Eva XML Platform.
Under ASC 985-20 guidance, the Company had expensed the costs incurred to establish the technological feasibility of the Eva Platform as research and development (R&D) when incurred during November 2020. The R&D expense is estimated to be $47,500. The Company has calculated hourly at $75 per hour, based on the average software developer making $98,000 (75th percentile, Exhibit II) to $360,000 (David Boulette’s salary). For each task conducted in techno-economic feasibility, the Company calculated that David Boulette performed the work of two software developers.
The R&D expense breakdown is based on the hours spent, the complexity of work, and the expertise required of individuals and entities with relevant software and project management experience at a fair market value.
By ASC 985-20, the Company considers the remaining $792,500 as Eva Platform software development costs (“Development Cost”), including costs to develop software sold, leased, or otherwise marketed incurred after establishing technological feasibility.
From March 2020 to April 2020, the Company developed a comprehensive database, a graphic user interface, application programming interface layers (APIs), and microservice frames for each network integration. From April 2020 to October 2002, the Company began testing, adjusting, and integrating the platform with big data and ad service providers such as Google, Bing, Facebook, and Taboola. In November 2020, the Company began running end–to–end system performance tests with live test campaigns.
The Company has capitalized the ‘Development Cost’ with similar costs as Website and App Purchases and Eva Live website development costs, collectively known as the Eva Platform. The Eva Platform can be leased as a standalone module or embedded in the Eva Platform. The Eva Platform is an automated and intelligent advertiser campaign management platform (Eva Platform’). The platform enables advertisers to buy advertising space on several digital channels to reach their desired audience effectively.
The Company sells, licenses, and markets the Eva Platform to customers, where customers will have direct access to the software. As the Company leased the Eva XML platform in December 2020, the Company began the amortization of the capitalized costs and reported the costs at the net realizable value.

NOTE 2 - SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (continued)
Share-based compensation to employees and non-employees
The Company uses ASC 718 guidance to apply share-based compensation accounting to certain employees and non-employee individuals, such as outsourced employees, non-employee directors, and consultants performing management functions, are employees or non-employees. The differences in the accounting for share-based payment awards granted to an employee versus a non-employee relate to the measurement date and recognition requirements. The Company believes an employee is the one who has the right to exercise sufficient control to establish an employer-employee relationship based on common law, as illustrated in case law and currently under US Internal Revenue Service (IRS) Revenue Ruling 87-41.
Restricted securities are securities acquired in unregistered, private sales from the Company or an affiliate. The restricted securities require the owner to follow the US Securities Exchange Commission guidelines defined under Rule 144 - Selling Restricted and Control Securities. On the other hand, restricted shares issued for consideration other than for goods or employee services are fully paid for immediately. As a result, the Company has expensed these shares at the time of the contract. There is no vesting period for non-employees.
Fair Value
The Company uses current market values to recognize certain assets and liabilities at a fair value. Fair value is the estimated price at which an asset can be sold or a liability settled in an orderly transaction with a third party under current market conditions. The Company uses the following methods and valuation techniques for deriving fair values:
Market Approach – The market approach uses the prices associated with actual market transactions for similar or identical assets and liabilities to derive a fair value.
Income Approach – The income approach uses estimated future cash flows or earnings, adjusted by a discount rate representing the time value of money and the risk of cash flows not being achieved to derive a discounted present value.
Cost Approach – The cost approach uses the estimated cost to replace an asset adjusted for the obsolescence of the existing asset.
The Company ranks the fair value hierarchy of information sources from Level 1 (best) to Level 3 (worst). The Company uses these three levels to select inputs for valuation techniques:
| Level I | Level 2 | Level 3 | ||
| Level 1 is a quoted price for an identical item in an active market on the measurement date. This is the most reliable evidence of fair value and is used whenever this information is available. | Level 2 is directly or indirectly observable inputs other than quoted prices. An example of a Level 2 input is a valuation multiple for a business unit based on comparable entities’ sales. | Level 3 is an unobservable input. It may include the Company’s data, adjusted for other reasonably available information. Examples of a Level 3 input are an internally generated financial forecast. |
The Company follows ASC 260, Earnings Per Share, to account for earnings per share. Basic earnings per share (“EPS”) calculations are determined by dividing net loss by the weighted average number of shares of common stock outstanding during the year. Diluted earnings per share calculations are determined by dividing net income by the weighted average number of common shares and dilutive common share equivalents outstanding. As of December 31, 2024, and 2023, the Company had and basic and dilutive shares issued and outstanding, respectively. Common stock equivalents were anti-dilutive during the fiscal year ending December 31, 2024, and 2023 due to a net loss of $3,753,268 and $6,610,119, respectively. Common equivalent shares are excluded from the computation since their effect is anti-dilutive.

Recent Accounting Pronouncements
In May 2014, the FASB issued ASU No. 2014-09, Revenue from Contracts with Customers (Topic 606), which supersedes the revenue recognition requirements in Topic 605, Revenue Recognition, including most industry-specific requirements. ASU 2014-09 establishes a five-step revenue recognition process; an entity will recognize revenue when it transfers promised goods or services to customers in an amount that reflects the consideration to which the Company expects to be entitled in exchange for those goods or services. ASU 2014-09 also requires enhanced disclosures regarding the nature, amount, timing, and uncertainty of revenues and cash flows from customers’ contracts. In August 2015, the FASB issued ASU 2015-14, Revenue from Contracts with Customers (Topic 606): Deferral of the Effective Date, which defers the effective date of ASU 2014-09 by one (1) year. The Company adopted ASC 606 using the modified retrospective method applied to all contracts not completed as of January 1, 2019. The Company presents results for reporting periods beginning after January 1, 2019, under ASC 606, while prior period amounts are reported following legacy GAAP. Refer to Note 2, Revenue from Major Contracts with Customers, for further discussion on the Company’s accounting policies for revenue sources within the scope of ASC 606.
In February 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-02, Leases (Topic 840), to increase transparency and comparability among organizations by recognizing lease assets and lease liabilities on the balance sheet and disclosing key information about leasing arrangements. The amendments to this standard are effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2019. Early adoption of the amendments in this standard is permitted for all entities. The Company must recognize and measure leases at the beginning of the earliest period presented using a modified retrospective approach. The Company adopted this policy as of January 1, 2020, and there is no material affect on its financial reporting.
In August 2018, the FASB issued ASU 2018-13, “Fair Value Measurement (Topic 820): Disclosure Framework-Changes to the Disclosure Requirements for Fair Value Measurement.” The amendments modify the disclosure requirements in Topic 820 to add disclosures regarding changes in unrealized gains and losses, the range and weighted average of significant unobservable inputs used to develop Level 3 fair value measurements, and the narrative description of measurement uncertainty. The amendments removed and modified certain disclosure requirements in Topic 820. The amendments are effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2019, and interim periods within those fiscal years. Certain amendments are to be applied prospectively, while others are to be applied retrospectively. Early adoption is permitted.
The Company adopted the ASU 2018-13 as of January 1, 2020. The Company used the Level 1 Fair Market Measurement to conduct a goodwill impairment analysis, resulting in a goodwill impairment of $144,098,143 on the acquisition of EvaMedia on December 31, 2021. The Company conducted a goodwill impairment analysis of the AdFlare acquisition, resulting in a goodwill impairment of $1,500,000 on December 31, 2022. We evaluate goodwill and acquire intangible assets for impairment at least annually to confirm if the carrying amount of acquired intangible assets exceeds their fair value. The acquired intangible assets primarily consist of assets under management, wealth management license, and our technology. We use various qualitative or quantitative methods for these impairment tests to estimate the fair value of our acquired intangible assets. We will recognize an impairment charge for the difference if the fair value is less than its carrying value.
ASU 2020-06, “Debt – Debt with Conversion and Other Options (Subtopic 470-20) and Derivatives and Hedging – Contracts in Entity’s Own Equity (Subtopic 815-40): Accounting for Convertible Instruments and Contracts in an Entity’s Own Equity”, issued in August 2020 simplifies the accounting for convertible debt and convertible preferred stock by removing the requirements to present certain conversion features in equity separately. In addition, the amendments also simplify the guidance in ASC Subtopic 815-40, Derivatives and Hedging: Contracts in Entity’s Own Equity, by removing certain criteria that must be satisfied to classify a contract as equity, which is expected to decrease the number of freestanding instruments and embedded derivatives accounted for assets or liabilities. Finally, the amendments revise the guidance on calculating earnings per share, requiring the use of the if-converted method for all convertible instruments and rescinding an entity’s ability to rebut the presumption of share settlement for instruments that may be settled in cash or other assets. The amendments are effective for public companies for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2021. Early adoption is permitted, but no earlier than fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2020. The guidance must be adopted as of the beginning of the fiscal year of adoption. The Company does not expect this ASU 2020-06 to impact its condensed consolidated financial statements.
Other recent accounting pronouncements issued by the FASB (including its Emerging Issues Task Force) and the United States Securities and Exchange Commission did not or are not believed by management to have a material impact on the Company’s present or future consolidated financial statements.

NOTE 3 – GOING CONCERN
As of December 31, 2024, the Company had an accumulated deficit of $28,469,675 and has not yet generated significant revenues to achieve positive cash flow from operations sufficient to cover ongoing expenses. As a result, our independent auditors included an explanatory paragraph in their report on the audited financial statements for the fiscal years ended December 31, 2024, and 2023, expressing substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern.
Our financial statements include additional disclosures outlining the factors contributing to this assessment. They do not include any adjustments related to the recoverability or classification of asset-carrying amounts or the amounts and classification of liabilities, which may be necessary if the Company is unable to continue operations.
Management has evaluated the Company’s ability to meet its obligations over the next twelve months by considering a range of factors, including general economic conditions, key industry indicators, operating performance, capital expenditures, future commitments, and overall liquidity. If the Company is unable to generate sufficient revenues by December 31, 2024, we will require additional capital through funding from existing or new investors, further cost reductions, and strategic adjustments to improve operational cash flow.
The accumulated deficit on December 31, 2024, and 2023 was $28,469,675 and $24,716,407, respectively.
During the fiscal year ended December 31, 2024, and 2023, the Company incurred a net loss of $3,753,268 and $6,610,119. The working capital surplus and deficit as of December 31, 2024, and 2023 were $1,560,391 and $652,446.
Since its inception, the Company has sustained recurring losses and negative cash flows from operations. As of December 31, 2024, the Company had $76,356 cash on hand. The Company believes that future cash flows may not be sufficient to meet its debt obligations as they become due in the ordinary course of business for the foreseeable future. The Company continues to experience negative cash flows from operations and the ongoing requirement for substantial additional capital investment to develop its Eva Platform. The Company must raise additional capital to accomplish its growth plan over twelve to twenty-four months. The Company expects to obtain additional funding through private equity or public markets. However, there can be no assurance about the availability or terms such as financing and capital might be available.
The Company’s ability to continue as a going concern may depend on the success of management’s plans. The consolidated financial statements do not include any adjustments relating to the recoverability and classification of assets or the amounts and liabilities that might be necessary should the Company not continue as a going concern.
To the extent the Company’s operations need to be improved to fund the Company’s capital requirements, the Company may attempt to enter into a revolving loan agreement with financial institutions or try to raise capital through the sale of additional capital stock issuance of debt.
The Company intends to continue its efforts to enhance its revenue from its diversified portfolio of technological solutions, become cash flow positive, and raise funds through private placement offerings and debt financing. As the Company increases its customer base globally and accepts its Eva Platform, it intends to acquire long-lived assets that will provide a future economic benefit beyond fiscal 2024.

NOTE 4 – CAPITALIZED WEBSITE AND SOFTWARE DEVELOPMENT COSTS
During the fiscal year ended December 31, 2024, and 2023, the estimated remaining weighted-average useful life of the Company’s capitalized software was three (3) years. The Company recognizes amortization expenses for capitalized software on a straight-line basis.
At December 31, 2024, there was no gross or unamortized balance of capitalized software costs.
At December 31, 2023, the gross capitalized software asset and the accumulated software amortization expenses were $778,783 and $778,783, respectively. As a result, the unamortized balance of capitalized software costs on December 31, 2023, was $.
As the software is fully amortized, there is no estimated amortization expense in 2024 and beyond.
The Company has estimated aggregate amortization expenses for each of the five succeeding fiscal years based on the estimated software asset’s lifespan of three (3) years.
NOTE 5 – FURNITURE & FIXTURES
Furniture and fixtures are stated at cost, net of accumulated depreciation. Costs include all expenditures directly attributable to the acquisition, including shipping, installation, and setup costs.
Depreciation Method:
Depreciation is calculated using the straight-line method over the estimated useful lives of the respective assets.
Estimated Useful Lives:
Furniture and Fixtures: 5 to 7 years
Commencement of Depreciation:
Depreciation begins when the asset is placed into service and continues through the end of its estimated useful life or until it is disposed of or retired.
Review of Useful Lives and Residual Value:
The estimated useful lives and residual values of furniture and fixtures are reviewed at least annually. Adjustments are made prospectively if there are changes in the expected pattern of economic benefits.
Disposals and Retirements:
Upon disposal or retirement of furniture and fixtures, the asset cost and related accumulated depreciation are removed from the accounts. Any resulting gain or loss is recognized in the statement of operations.
Impairment:
Furniture and fixtures are evaluated for impairment when events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying value of the assets may not be recoverable. An impairment loss is recognized if the asset’s carrying amount exceeds its estimated future cash flows.
The Company purchased furniture valued at $6,498 at the end of the fiscal year 2024. As the Company has not placed the furniture into service, there is no depreciation expense for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2024.
NOTE 6 – COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES

The note carries a term of thirty-three months and accrues interest at a rate of 6.00%. The Company paid back $100,000 in August 2024 and $100,000 in January 2025; as a result, the current outstanding principal balance is $300,000.
PPP Loan Payable
On April 24, 2020, the Company received proceeds of Forty-Thousand Eight Hundred and Thirty-Two ($40,832) from the Promissory Note (“PPP Note”) under the Paycheck Protection Program under the Coronavirus Aid, Relief, and Economic Security Act (the “CARES Act”). The funding of the PPP Note is conditioned upon approval of the Company’s application by the Small Business Administration (SBA) and JPMorgan Chase Bank (“Bank”), receiving confirmation from the SBA that the Bank may proceed with the PPP Note. Suppose the SBA does not confirm forgiveness of the PPP Note, or only partly confirms forgiveness of the PPP Note, or the Company fails to apply for PPP Note forgiveness. In that case, the Company will be obligated to repay the Bank the total outstanding balance remaining due under the PPP Note, including principal and interest (the “PPP Note Balance”). In such a case, the Bank will establish the terms for repayment of the PPP Note Balance in a separate letter to the Company. The letter will set forth the PPP Note Balance, the amount of each monthly payment, the interest rate (not above a fixed rate of one percent (1.00%) per annum), the term of the PPP Note, and the maturity date of two (2) years from the funding date of the PPP Note. No principal or interest payments will be due before the end of the Deferment Period, which is nine months from April 24, 2020. As of December 31, 2022, $40,832 remains outstanding. The US Government forgave the PPP Note. There is zero balance outstanding as of December 31, 2023.

NOTE 10 – INCOME TAXES
The Company has calculated income taxes using the asset and liability method of accounting. We have computed deferred income taxes by multiplying statutory rates applicable to estimated future-year differences between the financial statement and tax basis carrying amounts of assets and liabilities.
The income tax provision is summarized as follows:

| Federal corporate income tax rate | 21 | % | 21 | % | ||||

| Total | ||||||||
For the fiscal year ended December 31, 2024, and 2023, the Company had cumulative net operating losses of $3,753,268 and $6,610,119, respectively, available for carryforward to offset future taxable income, which begins to expire in 2035. The Company has determined to provide full valuation allowances for our net deferred tax assets at the end of 2023 and 2022, including NOL carryforwards generated during the years. Based on its evaluation of positive and negative evidence, including our history of operating losses and the uncertainty of generating future taxable income, that would enable us to realize our deferred tax assets.
In assessing the realization of deferred tax assets, management considers whether it is more likely than not that we may not be able to realize some portion or all of the deferred tax assets. The ultimate realization of the deferred tax assets depends on generating future taxable income when those temporary differences become deductible.
Based on the available objective evidence, management believes it is more likely than not that the net deferred tax assets will not be fully realizable at December 31, 2024. Accordingly, management has maintained a full valuation allowance against its net deferred tax assets at December 31, 2024. The net change in the total valuation allowance for the 12 months ended December 31, 2024, decreased by $779,568 to $2,460,935. At December 31, 2024, and 2023, we had federal and state net operating loss carryforwards of approximately $1,293,020 and $1,672,749, respectively, expiring beginning in 2037 for the federal and 2037 for the state.
For the years ended December 31, 2024, and 2023, the Company analyzed its ASC 740 position and did not identify any uncertain tax positions defined under ASC 740. Should this position be determined in the future and the Company owes interest and penalties because of this, these would be recognized as interest expense and other expenses, respectively, in the consolidated financial statements.
The Company has identified the United States Federal tax returns as its “major” tax jurisdiction. The United States Federal return for 2024 and 2023 has been submitted and accepted by the United States Internal Revenue Service. The Company was not subject to tax examination by authorities in the United States before 2015. The Nevada State Tax return for 2023 and 2022 has been submitted and accepted by the Nevada State Franchise Tax Board. Currently, the Company does not have any ongoing tax examinations.
The Company has no foreign tax expenses and liabilities as of December 31, 2024, and 2023.
NOTE 11 – OFF-BALANCE SHEET ARRANGEMENTS
We have no off-balance sheet arrangements affecting our liquidity, capital resources, market risk support, credit risk support, or other benefits.
NOTE 12 – SUBSEQUENT EVENTS
In February 2025, the Company announced a 4-to-1 reverse stock split effective February 11, 2025, as part of its strategy to uplist to a national securities exchange. The move aims to increase the company’s share price to meet national exchange listing requirements and attract institutional investors.
Under the reverse split, every four shares of outstanding common stock will be converted into one share. Shareholders entitled to fractional shares will receive one full share instead, and no action is required from shareholders as changes will be automatically reflected in their accounts.
On March 21, 2025, the Board of Directors of Eva Live Inc. approved the dismissal of Michael Gillespie & Associates, PLLC (“Gillespie”) as the Company’s independent registered public accounting firm. Gillespie had been engaged on May 5, 2024, but had not yet completed any audit reports for the Company.
The Company determined that it was in the best interest of the Company and its shareholders to make this change due to delays in the commencement of the audit and the auditor’s requests for documentation that the Company believes were beyond the customary scope necessary for the engagement.
On March 21, 2025, the Company engaged Olayinka Oyebola & Co. (“Olayinka”) as its independent registered public accounting firm for the fiscal year ending 2023 and 2024. The selection of Olayinka was based on its ability to meet the Company’s reporting requirements and its alignment with the Company’s needs. Olayinka is a member of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (PCAOB) in the United States and a member of the Canadian Public Accountability Board (CPAB) in Canada.
On April 03, 2025, the Board of Directors of Eva Live Inc. approved the dismissal of Olayinka Oyebola & Co. (“Olayinka”) as its independent registered public accounting firm for the fiscal year ending 2023 and 2024 due to recent changes in Olayinka’s status by OTC Markets Group as a Prohibited Service Provider. Olayinka was only retained by the Company for less than a month, and no reports were filed with the SEC.
On April 03, 2025, the Company engaged Lao Professionals (“LAO”) as its independent registered public accounting firm for the fiscal year ending 2023 and 2024. The selection of LAO was based on its ability to meet the Company’s reporting requirements and its alignment with the Company’s needs.

Item 14. Indemnification of Directors and Officers
Neither our Articles of Incorporation nor Bylaws prevent us from indemnifying our officers, directors and agents to the extent permitted under the Nevada Revised Statutes (“NRS”). NRS Section 78.7502, provides that a corporation may indemnify any director, officer, employee or agent of a corporation against expenses, including fees, actually and reasonably incurred by him in connection with any defense to the extent that a director, officer, employee or agent of a corporation has been successful on the merits or otherwise in defense of any action, suit or proceeding referred to Section 78.7502(1) or 78.7502(2), or in defense of any claim, issue or matter therein.
NRS 78.7502(1) provides that a corporation may indemnify any person who was or is a party or is threatened to be made a party to any threatened, pending or completed action, suit or proceeding, whether civil, criminal, administrative or investigative, except an action by or in the right of the corporation, by reason of the fact that he is or was a director, officer, employee or agent of the corporation, or is or was serving at the request of the corporation as a director, officer, employee or agent of another corporation, partnership, joint venture, trust or other enterprise, against expenses, including fees, judgments, fines and amounts paid in settlement actually and reasonably incurred by him in connection with the action, suit or proceeding if he: (a) is not liable pursuant to NRS 78.138; or (b) acted in good faith and in a manner which he reasonably believed to be in or not opposed to the best interests of the corporation, and, with respect to any criminal action or proceeding, had no reasonable cause to believe his conduct was unlawful.
NRS Section 78.7502(2) provides that a corporation may indemnify any person who was or is a party or is threatened to be made a party to any threatened, pending or completed action or suit by or in the right of the corporation to procure a judgment in its favor by reason of the fact that he is or was a director, officer, employee or agent of the corporation, or is or was serving at the request of the corporation as a director, officer, employee or agent of another corporation, partnership, joint venture, trust or other enterprise against expenses, including amounts paid in settlement and fees actually and reasonably incurred by him in connection with the defense or settlement of the action or suit if he: (a) is not liable pursuant to NRS 78.138; or (b) acted in good faith and in a manner which he reasonably believed to be in or not opposed to the best interests of the corporation. Indemnification may not be made for any claim, issue or matter as to which such a person has been adjudged by a court of competent jurisdiction, after exhaustion of all appeals there from, to be liable to the corporation or for amounts paid in settlement to the corporation, unless and only to the extent that the court in which the action or suit was brought or other court of competent jurisdiction determines upon application that in view of all the circumstances of the case, the person is fairly and reasonably entitled to indemnity for such expenses as the court deems proper.
NRS Section 78.747 provides that except as otherwise provided by specific statute, no director or officer of a corporation is individually liable for a debt or liability of the corporation, unless the director or officer acts as the alter ego of the corporation. The court as a matter of law must determine the question of whether a director or officer acts as the alter ego of a corporation.
To the extent that indemnification for liabilities arising under the Securities Act may be permitted to directors, officers or persons controlling our company pursuant to the foregoing provisions, we have been informed that, in the opinion of the SEC, such indemnification is against public policy as expressed in the Securities Act and is therefore unenforceable. If a claim for indemnification against such liabilities (other than the payment by us of expenses incurred or paid by a director, officer or controlling person of our company in the successful defense of any action, suit or proceeding) is asserted by any of our directors, officers or controlling persons 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 us is against public policy as expressed in the Securities Act and will be governed by the final adjudication of that issue.

| (ii) | 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) if, in the aggregate, the changes in volume and price represent no more than a 20 percent change in the maximum aggregate offering price set forth in the “Calculation of Registration Fee” table in the effective registration statement; and |
| (iii) | 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. |

Insofar as indemnification for liabilities arising under the Securities Act may be permitted to directors, officers and controlling persons of the registrant pursuant to the foregoing provisions, or otherwise, the registrant has been advised that in the opinion of the Securities and Exchange Commission such indemnification is against public policy as expressed in the Securities Act and is, therefore, unenforceable.

[ ], 2025
Maxim
Group LLC
300 Park Avenue, 16th Floor
New York, New York 10022
As Representative of the Underwriters
named on Schedule A hereto
Ladies and Gentlemen:
Eva Live Inc., a Nevada corporation (the “Company”), proposes, subject to the terms and conditions stated herein, to issue and sell an aggregate of [ ] common units (each a “Common Unit” and collectively, the “Common Units”), with each Common Unit consisting of (A) one share (each a “Share” and collectively, the “Shares”) of the Company’s common stock, par value $0.0001 per share (the “Common Stock”), and (B) one warrant to purchase one Share (each a “Warrant” and collectively, the “Warrants”) to the several underwriters (such underwriters, for whom Maxim Group LLC (“Maxim” or the “Representative”) is acting as representative, the “Underwriters” and each an “Underwriter”). The Common Units are referred to herein as the “Firm Securities.” The Common Units and the securities included therein (i.e., the Shares, the Warrants and the Warrant Shares) are referred to herein as the “Securities.” The Company has also agreed to grant to the Representative on behalf of the Underwriters an option (the “Option”) to purchase up to an additional [ ] Shares and/or [ ] Warrants (the “Option Warrants”, and together with the Option Shares, the “Option Securities”) on the terms set forth in Section 1(b) hereof. The Firm Securities and the Option Securities are hereinafter collectively called the “Offered Securities” and the offering of such Offered Securities is hereinafter called the “Offering”. The Shares issuable upon the exercise of the Warrants are hereinafter called the “Warrant Shares.” The Offered Securities, the Representative’s Warrants (as defined below) and all Shares underlying the securities therein (including the Shares and Warrant Shares) are herein collectively called the “Securities.”
The Company and each of the Underwriters confirm their respective agreements (this “Agreement”) as follows:
1. Agreement to Sell and Purchase.
(a) Purchase of Firm Securities. On the basis of the representations, warranties and agreements of the Company contained herein and subject to all the terms and conditions of this Agreement, the Company agrees to sell to the Underwriters, severally and not jointly, and the Underwriters, severally and not jointly, agree to purchase from the Company, the number of Firm Securities set forth opposite the name of such Underwriter set forth on Schedule A hereto, at a purchase price (the “Purchase Price”) (prior to discount and commissions) of $[ ] per Common Unit (or $[ ] per Common Unit net of discount and commissions).
(b) Purchase of Option Securities. Subject to all the terms and conditions of this Agreement, the Company grants to the Representative on behalf of the Underwriters the Option to purchase, severally and not jointly, all or less than all of the Option Shares and/or Option Warrants, which may be purchased in any combination. The purchase price (net of discount and commissions) to be paid for each Option Share will be the same Purchase Price (net of discount and commissions) allocated to each Common Unit, minus $0.001. The purchase price to be paid for each Warrant shall be $0.001. The Option may be exercised in whole or in part at any time and from time to time on or before the 45th day after the date of this Agreement, upon written notice (the “Option Notice”) by the Representative to the Company no later than 12:00 noon, New York City time, at least one and no more than five business days before the date specified for closing in the Option Notice (the “Option Closing Date”) setting forth the aggregate number of Option Shares and/or Option Warrants to be purchased and the time and date for such purchase. Upon exercise of the Option, the Company will become obligated to convey to the Underwriters, and, subject to the terms and conditions set forth herein, the Underwriters will become obligated to purchase, the number of Option Shares and/or Option Warrants specified in the Option Notice. If any Option Shares or Option Warrants are to be purchased, each Underwriter agrees, severally and not jointly, to purchase the number of Option Shares or Option Warrants, as applicable (as adjusted by the Representative in such manner as it deems advisable to avoid fractional securities) that bears the same proportion to the number of Firm Securities to be purchased by it as set forth on Schedule A opposite such Underwriter’s name relative to the total number of Firm Securities to be purchased pursuant to this Agreement by all Underwriters.
2. Delivery and Payment.
(a) Closing. Delivery of the Shares and Warrants, each included in the Units, contained in the Firm Securities shall be made to the Representative through the facilities of the Depository Trust Company (“DTC”) for the respective accounts of the Underwriters against payment of the Purchase Price by wire transfer of immediately available funds to the order of the Company. Such payment shall be made at 10:00 a.m., New York City time, on the next business day (the second business day, should the Offering be priced after 4:00 p.m., New York City Time) after the date of this Agreement or at such time on such other date, not later than ten business days after such date, as may be agreed upon by the Company and the Representative (such date is hereinafter referred to as the “Closing Date”). Notwithstanding the foregoing, in the case of a Warrant for which an Exercise Notice (as defined therein) is delivered on or prior to 12:00 p.m. (New York City time) on the Closing Date, which such Exercise Notice may be delivered at any time after the time of execution of this Agreement, the Company agrees to deliver the Warrant Shares subject to such notice(s) by 4:00 p.m. (New York City time) on the Closing Date.
(b) Option Closing. To the extent the Option is exercised, delivery of the Option Securities against payment by the Underwriters (in the manner and at the location specified above) shall take place at the time and date (which may be the Closing Date, but not earlier than the Closing Date) specified in the Option Notice.
(c) Electronic Transfer. Electronic transfer of the Offered Securities shall be made at the time of purchase in such names and in such denominations as the Representative shall specify.
(d) Tax Stamps. The cost of original issue tax stamps, if any, in connection with the issuance and delivery of the Offered Securities by the Company to the Underwriters shall be borne by the Company. The Company shall pay and hold each Underwriter and any subsequent holder of the Offered Securities harmless from any and all liabilities with respect to or resulting from any failure or delay in paying United States federal and state and foreign stamp and other transfer taxes, if any, which may be payable or determined to be payable in connection with the original issuance, sale and delivery to such Underwriter of the Offered Securities.
(e) Representative’s Warrants. The Company hereby agrees to issue to the Representative (and/or its designees) on the Closing Date, Warrants to purchase ______ shares of the Company’s Common Stock (the “Closing Representative’s Warrants”), which equal to seven percent (7%) of the Firm Securities, and, on each Option Closing Date, Warrants to purchase a number of the Company’s shares of Common Stock up to an aggregate of seven percent (7%) of the number of Option Securities issued at such Option Closing Date (the “Option Representative’s Warrants” and, together with the Closing Representative’s Warrants, the “Representative’s Warrants”). The Representative’s Warrants shall be exercisable, in whole or in part, commencing six (6) months from the Effective Date of the Registration Statement and expiring on the five-year anniversary of such date at an initial exercise price of $____, which is equal to one hundred and twenty-five percent (125%) of the Offering price of a Firm Security. The Representative’s Warrants shall not be redeemable. The Company shall register the shares underlying the Representative’s Warrants under the Act and will file all necessary undertakings in connection therewith. The Representative’s Warrants may not be transferred, assigned or hypothecated for a period of six (6) months following the Closing, except that they may be assigned, in whole or in part, to any successor, officer, manager or member of the Representative (or to officers, managers or members of any such successor or member), and to members of the underwriting syndicate or selling group. The Representative’s Warrants may be exercised as to all or a lesser number of the Company’s shares of Common Stock, will provide for cashless exercise at all times and will contain provisions for one demand registration of the sale of the underlying Firm Securities at the Company’s expense, an additional demand registration at the warrant holders’ expense, and unlimited “piggyback” registration rights for a period of five years after the Closing at the Company’s expense. The Representative’s Warrants shall further provide for anti-dilution protection (adjustment in the number and price of such warrants and the shares underlying such warrants) resulting from corporate events (which would include dividends, reorganizations, mergers, etc.) and future issuance of shares of Common Stock or shares of Common Stock equivalents at prices (or with exercise and/or conversion prices) below the Offering price. The Representative’s Warrants and the Firm Securities issuable upon exercise of the Representative’s Warrants are hereinafter referred to collectively as the “Representative’s Securities.”
The Units have no stand-alone rights and will not be certificated or issued as stand-alone securities. The shares of Common Stock and the Warrants comprising the Units are immediately separable and will be issued separately in the Offering.
3. Representations and Warranties of the Company. The Company represents and warrants to, and covenants with, each of the Underwriters as follows:
(a) Compliance with Registration Requirements. A registration statement on Form S-1 (Registration No. 333-288626) relating to the Securities, including a preliminary prospectus and such amendments to such registration statement as may have been required prior to the date of this Agreement, has been prepared by the Company under the provisions of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Act”), and the rules and regulations (collectively referred to as the “Rules and Regulations”) of the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (the “Commission”) thereunder, and has been filed with the Commission. Copies of such registration statement and of each amendment thereto, if any, including the related preliminary prospectuses, heretofore filed by the Company with the Commission have been delivered to the Underwriters. The term “Registration Statement” means such registration statement on Form S-1, as amended at the time it becomes or became effective, including financial statements, all exhibits and any information deemed to be included or incorporated by reference therein, including any information deemed to be included pursuant to Rule 430A or Rule 430B of the Rules and Regulations, as applicable. If the Company files a registration statement to register a portion of the Offered Securities or Warrant Shares and relies on Rule 462(b) of the Rules and Regulations for such registration statement to become effective upon filing with the Commission (the “Rule 462 Registration Statement”), then any reference to the “Registration Statement” shall be deemed to include the Rule 462 Registration Statement, as amended from time to time. The term “preliminary prospectus”, as used herein, means a preliminary prospectus as contemplated by Rule 430 or Rule 430A of the Rules and Regulations included at any time as part of, or deemed to be part of or included in, the Registration Statement. The term “Prospectus” means the final prospectus in connection with this Offering as first filed with the Commission pursuant to Rule 424(b) of the Rules and Regulations or, if no such filing is required, the form of final prospectus included in the Registration Statement at the effective date, except that if any revised prospectus or prospectus supplement shall be provided to the Representative by the Company for use in connection with the Offered Securities which differs from the Prospectus (whether or not such revised prospectus or prospectus supplement is required to be filed by the Company pursuant to Rule 424(b)), the term “Prospectus” shall also refer to such revised prospectus or prospectus supplement, as the case may be, from and after the time it is first provided to the Representative for such use. Any reference herein to the terms “amend”, “amendment” or “supplement” with respect to the Registration Statement, any preliminary prospectus or the Prospectus shall be deemed to refer to and include: (i) the filing of any document under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, and together with the rules and regulations promulgated thereunder (collectively, the “Exchange Act”) after the effective date of the Registration Statement, the date of such preliminary prospectus or the date of the Prospectus, as the case may be, which is incorporated therein by reference, and (ii) any such document so filed.
(b) Effectiveness of Registration. The Registration Statement, any Rule 462 Registration Statement and any post-effective amendment thereto have been declared effective by the Commission under the Act or have become effective pursuant to Rule 462 of the Rules and Regulations. The Company has responded to all requests, if any, of the Commission for additional or supplemental information. No stop order suspending the effectiveness of the Registration Statement or any Rule 462 Registration Statement is in effect and no proceedings for such purpose have been instituted or are pending or, to the knowledge of the Company, are threatened by the Commission. For purposes of this Agreement, the term “knowledge” means the actual knowledge of the members of the Board of Directors and the senior executive officers of the Company after due inquiry (which shall not require any such officer to hire a third party to verify any facts or individually search any public records).
(c) Accuracy of Registration Statement. Each of the Registration Statement, any Rule 462 Registration Statement and any post-effective amendment thereto, at the time it became effective, when any document filed under the Exchange Act was or is filed and at all subsequent times, complied and will comply in all material respects with the Act and the Rules and Regulations, and did not and will not contain any untrue statement of a material fact or omit to state a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary in order to make the statements therein not misleading. The Prospectus, as amended or supplemented, as of its date and at all subsequent times when a prospectus is delivered or required (or, but for the provisions of Rule 172, would be required) by applicable law to be delivered in connection with sales of Securities, complied and will comply in all material respects with the Act, the Exchange Act and the Rules and Regulations, and did not or will not contain any untrue statement of a material fact or omit to state a material fact necessary to make the statements therein not misleading, in the light of the circumstances under which they were made. Each preliminary prospectus (including the preliminary prospectus or prospectuses filed as part of the Registration Statement or any amendment thereto) complied when so filed in all material respects with Act, the Exchange Act and the Rules and Regulations, and each preliminary prospectus and the Prospectus delivered to the Representative for use in connection with this Offering is identical to the electronically transmitted copies thereof filed with the Commission on EDGAR, except to the extent permitted by Regulation S-T. The foregoing representations and warranties in this Section 3(c) do not apply to any statements or omissions made in reliance on and in conformity with information relating to the Underwriters furnished in writing to the Company by the Underwriters through the Representative specifically for inclusion in the Registration Statement or Prospectus or any amendment or supplement thereto (the “Underwriters Information”).
(d) Company Not Ineligible Issuer. (i) At the time of filing the Registration Statement relating to the Securities and (ii) as of the date of the execution and delivery of this Agreement (with such date being used as the determination date for purposes of this clause (ii)), the Company was not, and is not, an “ineligible issuer” (as defined in Rule 405 of the Rules and Regulations).
(e) Disclosure at the Time of Sale. As of the Applicable Time, neither (i) the Issuer General Use Free Writing Prospectus(es) (as defined below) issued at or prior to the Applicable Time, the most recent preliminary prospectus related to this Offering, and the information included on Schedule II hereto, all considered together (collectively, the “General Disclosure Package”), nor (ii) any individual Issuer Limited Use Free Writing Prospectus, when considered together with the General Disclosure Package, included any untrue statement of a material fact or omitted to state any material fact necessary in order to make the statements therein, in the light of the circumstances under which they were made, not misleading.
As used in this subsection and elsewhere in this Agreement:
“Applicable Time” means 5:00 p.m. (New York City Time) on [ ], 2025 or such other time as agreed by the Company and the Representative.
“Issuer Free Writing Prospectus” means any “issuer free writing prospectus,” as defined in Rule 433 of the Rules and Regulations, relating to the Offered Securities that (i) is required to be filed with the Commission by the Company, (ii) is “a written communication that is a road show” within the meaning of Rule 433(d)(8)(i), whether or not required to be filed with the Commission or (iii) is exempt from filing pursuant to Rule 433(d)(5)(i) because it contains a description of the Securities or of the Offering that does not reflect the final terms, in each case in the form filed or required to be filed with the Commission or, if not required to be filed, in the form retained in the Company’s records pursuant to Rule 433(g).
“Issuer General Use Free Writing Prospectus” means any Issuer Free Writing Prospectus that is intended for general distribution to prospective investors, as evidenced by its being specified in Schedule I hereto.
“Issuer Limited Use Free Writing Prospectus” means any Issuer Free Writing Prospectus that is not an Issuer General Use Free Writing Prospectus.
(f) Issuer Free Writing Prospectuses. Each Issuer Free Writing Prospectus, as of its issue date and at all subsequent times through the Prospectus Delivery Period (as defined below), does not include any information that conflicts with the information contained in the Registration Statement. If at any time following the issuance of an Issuer Free Writing Prospectus there occurred an event or development as a result of which such Issuer Free Writing Prospectus conflicted with the information contained in the Registration Statement relating to the Securities or included an untrue statement of material fact or omitted to state a material fact necessary in order to make the statements therein, in light of the circumstances prevailing at that subsequent time, not misleading, the Company has promptly notified the Representative and has promptly amended or supplemented, at its own expense, such Issuer Free Writing Prospectus to eliminate or correct such conflict, untrue statement or omission.
(g) Distribution of Offering Material by the Company. The Company has not distributed and will not distribute, prior to the later of the Closing Date, any Option Closing Date and the completion of the Underwriters’ distribution of the Offered Securities, any offering material in connection with the offering or sale of the Offered Securities, the Registration Statement, the preliminary prospectus, the Permitted Free Writing Prospectuses reviewed and consented to by the Representative and included in Schedule I hereto, and the Prospectus. None of the Marketing Materials, as of their respective issue dates and at all subsequent times through the Prospectus Delivery Period (as defined below), includes any information that conflicts with the information contained in the Registration Statement. If at any time following the issuance of any Marketing Material there occurred an event or development as a result of which such Marketing Material conflicted with the information contained in the Registration Statement relating to the Securities or included an untrue statement of material fact or omitted to state a material fact necessary in order to make the statements therein, in light of the circumstances prevailing at that subsequent time, not misleading, the Company has promptly notified the Representative and has promptly amended or supplemented, at its own expense, such Marketing Material to eliminate or correct such conflict, untrue statement or omission.
(h) Subsidiaries. All of the direct and indirect material subsidiaries of the Company (each, a “Subsidiary”) are set forth in the Registration Statement, the General Disclosure Package and the Prospectus. The Company owns, directly or indirectly, all of the capital stock or other equity interests of each Subsidiary free and clear of any lien, charge, pledge, security interest, encumbrance, right of first refusal, preemptive right or other similar restriction (each, a “Lien”), and all of the issued and outstanding shares of capital stock of each Subsidiary are validly issued and are fully paid, non-assessable and free of preemptive and similar rights to subscribe for or purchase securities.
(i) Organization and Qualification. The Company and each of the Subsidiaries is an entity duly incorporated or otherwise organized, validly existing and in good standing under the laws of the jurisdiction of its incorporation or organization, with the requisite power and authority to own and use its properties and assets and to carry on its business as currently conducted. Neither the Company nor any Subsidiary is in violation nor default of any of the provisions of its respective certificate or articles of incorporation, bylaws or other organizational or charter documents. Each of the Company and the Subsidiaries is duly qualified to conduct business and is in good standing as a foreign corporation or other entity in each jurisdiction in which the nature of the business conducted or property owned by it makes such qualification necessary, except where the failure to be so qualified or in good standing, as the case may be, would not have or reasonably be expected to result in: (i) a material adverse effect on the legality, validity or enforceability of this Agreement, the Representative’s Warrants, the Warrant Agreement (as hereinafter defined), the Warrants, or any other agreement, document, certificate or instrument required to be delivered pursuant to this Agreement (collectively, the “Transaction Documents”), (ii) a material adverse effect on the results of operations, assets, business, prospects or condition (financial or otherwise) of the Company and the Subsidiaries, taken as a whole, or (iii) a material adverse effect on the Company’s ability to perform in any material respect on a timely basis its obligations under any Transaction Document (any of (i), (ii) or (iii), a “Material Adverse Effect”) and no action, claim, suit or proceeding (including, without limitation, a partial proceeding, such as a deposition), whether commenced or threatened (each, a “Proceeding”) has been instituted in any such jurisdiction revoking, limiting or curtailing or seeking to revoke, limit or curtail such power and authority or qualification.
(j) Authorization; Enforcement. The Company has the requisite corporate power and authority to enter into and to consummate the transactions contemplated by this Agreement and each of the other Transaction Documents and otherwise to carry out its obligations hereunder and thereunder. The execution and delivery of this Agreement and each of the other Transaction Documents by the Company and the consummation by it of the transactions contemplated hereby and thereby have been duly authorized by all necessary action on the part of the Company and no further action is required by the Company, the Board of Directors or the Company’s stockholders in connection herewith or therewith other than in connection with the Required Approvals (as hereinafter defined in Section 3(l)). This Agreement and each other Transaction Document to which it is a party has been (or upon delivery will have been) duly executed by the Company and, when delivered in accordance with the terms hereof and thereof, assuming due authorization, execution and delivery by the Representative, will constitute the valid and binding obligation of the Company enforceable against the Company in accordance with its terms, except (i) as limited by general equitable principles and applicable bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization, moratorium and other laws of general application affecting enforcement of creditors’ rights generally, (ii) as limited by laws relating to the availability of specific performance, injunctive relief or other equitable remedies and (iii) insofar as indemnification and contribution provisions may be limited by applicable law.
(k) No Conflicts. The execution, delivery and performance by the Company of this Agreement and the other Transaction Documents to which it is a party, the issuance and sale of the Securities and the consummation by it of the transactions contemplated hereby and thereby do not and will not (i) conflict with or violate any provision of the Company’s or any Subsidiary’s certificate or articles of incorporation, bylaws or other organizational or charter documents, or (ii) conflict with, or constitute a default (or an event that with notice or lapse of time or both would become a default) under, result in the creation of any Lien upon any of the properties or assets of the Company or any Subsidiary, or give to others any rights of termination, amendment, acceleration or cancellation (with or without notice, lapse of time or both) of, any agreement, credit facility, debt or other instrument (evidencing a Company or Subsidiary debt or otherwise) or other understanding to which the Company or any Subsidiary is a party or by which any property or asset of the Company or any Subsidiary is bound or affected, or (iii) subject to the Required Approvals, conflict with or result in a violation of any law, rule, regulation, order, judgment, injunction, decree or other restriction of any court or governmental authority to which the Company or a Subsidiary is subject (including federal and state securities laws and regulations), or by which any property or asset of the Company or a Subsidiary is bound or affected; except in the case of each of clauses (ii) and (iii) such as would not have or reasonably be expected to result in a Material Adverse Effect.

The Company has reserved from its duly authorized capital stock the maximum number of shares of Common Stock issuable pursuant to the Final Prospectus.
(o) Capitalization. The capitalization of the Company as of the date hereof is as set forth in the Registration Statement, the General Disclosure Package and the Prospectus. The Company has not issued any capital stock since its most recently filed periodic report under the Exchange Act, other than pursuant to the Company’s equity incentive plans and pursuant to the conversion and/or exercise of any securities of the Company or the Subsidiaries which would entitle the holder thereof to acquire at any time Shares, including, without limitation, any debt, preferred stock, right, option, warrant or other instrument that is at any time convertible into or exercisable or exchangeable for, or otherwise entitles the holder thereof to receive, Shares (“Common Stock Equivalents”) and is outstanding as of the date of the most recently filed periodic report under the Exchange Act. No individual or corporation, partnership, trust, incorporated or unincorporated association, joint venture, limited liability company, joint stock company, government (or an agency or subdivision thereof) or other entity of any kind (each, a “Person”) has any right of first refusal, preemptive right, right of participation, or any similar right to participate in the transactions contemplated by the Transaction Documents. Except as a result of the purchase and sale of the Securities or as disclosed in the Registration Statement, the General Disclosure Package and the Prospectus, there are no outstanding options, warrants, scrip rights to subscribe to, calls or commitments of any character whatsoever relating to, or securities, rights or obligations convertible into or exercisable or exchangeable for, or giving any Person any right to subscribe for or acquire, any Shares or the capital stock of any Subsidiary, or contracts, commitments, understandings or arrangements by which the Company or any Subsidiary is or may become bound to issue additional Shares or Common Stock Equivalents or capital stock of any Subsidiary. The issuance and sale of the Securities will not obligate the Company or any Subsidiary to issue Shares or other securities to any Person (other than the Underwriters) and will not result in a right of any holder of Company securities to adjust the exercise, conversion, exchange or reset price under any of such securities. There are no securities of the Company or any Subsidiary that have any anti-dilution or similar adjustment rights (other than adjustments for stock splits, recapitalizations, and the like) to the exercise or conversion price, have any exchange rights, or reset rights. Except as set forth in the Registration Statement, the General Disclosure Package and the Prospectus, there are no outstanding securities or instruments of the Company or any Subsidiary that contain any redemption or similar provisions, and there are no contracts, commitments, understandings or arrangements by which the Company or any Subsidiary is or may become bound to redeem a security of the Company or such Subsidiary. The Company does not have any stock appreciation rights or “phantom stock” plans or agreements or any similar plan or agreement. All of the outstanding shares of capital stock of the Company are duly authorized, validly issued, fully paid and nonassessable, have been issued in compliance in all material respects with all federal and state securities laws, and none of such outstanding shares was issued in violation of any preemptive rights or similar rights to subscribe for or purchase securities. No further approval or authorization of any stockholder, the Board of Directors or others is required for the issuance and sale of the Securities. There are no stockholders agreements, voting agreements or other similar agreements with respect to the Company’s capital stock to which the Company is a party or, to the knowledge of the Company, between or among any of the Company’s stockholders.
(p) SEC Reports; Financial Statements. The Company has filed all reports, schedules, forms, statements and other documents required to be filed by the Company under the Securities Act and the Exchange Act, including pursuant to Section 13(a) or 15(d) thereof, for the two years preceding the date hereof (or such shorter period as the Company was required by law or regulation to file such material) (the foregoing materials, including the exhibits thereto and documents incorporated by reference therein, together with the Registration Statement, the General Disclosure Package and the Prospectus, being collectively referred to herein as the “SEC Reports”) on a timely basis or has received a valid extension of such time of filing and has filed any such SEC Reports prior to the expiration of any such extension. As of their respective dates, the SEC Reports complied in all material respects with the requirements of the Securities Act and the Exchange Act, as applicable, and none of the SEC Reports, when filed, contained any untrue statement of a material fact or omitted to state a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary in order to make the statements therein, in the light of the circumstances under which they were made, not misleading. The Company has never been an issuer subject to Rule 144(i) under the Securities Act. The financial statements of the Company included in the SEC Reports comply in all material respects with applicable accounting requirements and the rules and regulations of the Commission with respect thereto as in effect at the time of filing. Such financial statements have been prepared in accordance with United States generally accepted accounting principles applied on a consistent basis during the periods involved (“GAAP”), except as may be otherwise specified in such financial statements or the notes thereto and except that unaudited financial statements may not contain all footnotes required by GAAP, and fairly present in all material respects the financial position of the Company and its consolidated Subsidiaries as of and for the dates thereof and the results of operations and cash flows for the periods then ended, subject, in the case of unaudited statements, to normal, immaterial, year-end audit adjustments. The agreements and documents described in the SEC Reports conform to the descriptions thereof contained therein and there are no agreements or other documents required by the Securities Act and the rules and regulations thereunder to be described in the SEC Reports or to be filed with the Commission as exhibits to the Registration Statement, that have not been so described or filed. Each agreement or other instrument (however characterized or described) to which the Company is a party or by which it is or may be bound or affected and (i) that is referred to in the SEC Reports, or (ii) is material to the Company’s business, has been duly authorized and validly executed by the Company, is in full force and effect in all material respects and is enforceable against the Company and, to the Company’s knowledge, the other parties thereto, in accordance with its terms, except (x) as such enforceability may be limited by bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization or similar laws affecting creditors’ rights generally, (y) as enforceability of any indemnification or contribution provision may be limited under the federal and state securities laws, and (z) that the remedy of specific performance and injunctive and other forms of equitable relief may be subject to the equitable defenses and to the discretion of the court before which any proceeding therefore may be brought. Except as disclosed in the SEC Reports, none of such agreements or instruments has been assigned by the Company, and neither the Company nor, to the best of the Company’s knowledge, any other party is in default thereunder and, to the best of the Company’s knowledge, no event has occurred that, with the lapse of time or the giving of notice, or both, would constitute a default thereunder. To the best of the Company’s knowledge, performance by the Company of the material provisions of such agreements or instruments will not result in a violation of any existing applicable law, rule, regulation, judgment, order or decree of any governmental agency or court, domestic or foreign, having jurisdiction over the Company or any of its assets or businesses, including, without limitation, those relating to environmental laws and regulations.
(q) Material Changes; Undisclosed Events, Liabilities or Developments.

The Company does not have pending before the Commission any request for confidential treatment of information. Except for the issuance of the Offered Securities contemplated by this Agreement, no event, liability, fact, circumstance, occurrence or development has occurred or exists or is reasonably expected to occur or exist with respect to the Company or its Subsidiaries or their respective businesses, prospects, properties, operations, assets or financial condition that would be required to be disclosed by the Company under applicable securities laws at the time this representation is made or deemed made that has not been publicly disclosed at least one trading day prior to the date that this representation is made.

There is no action, suit, inquiry, notice of violation or proceeding pending or, to the knowledge of the Company, threatened against or affecting the Company, any Subsidiary or any of their respective properties before or by any court, arbitrator, governmental or administrative agency or regulatory authority (federal, state, county, local or foreign) (collectively, an “Action”) which (i) adversely affects or challenges the legality, validity or enforceability of any of the Transaction Documents or the Securities or (ii) would, if there were an unfavorable decision, have or reasonably be expected to result in a Material Adverse Effect. Except as disclosed in the Registration Statement, the General Disclosure Package and the Prospectus, neither the Company nor any Subsidiary, nor any director or officer thereof, is or has been the subject of any Action involving a claim of violation of or liability under federal or state securities laws or a claim of breach of fiduciary duty.

The Company and its Subsidiaries are in compliance with all U.S. federal, state, local and foreign laws and regulations relating to employment and employment practices, terms and conditions of employment and wages and hours, except where the failure to be in compliance would not, individually or in the aggregate, reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect.

(cc) Investment Company. The Company is not, and is not an affiliate of, and immediately after receipt of payment for the Offered Securities, will not be or be an affiliate of, an “investment company” within the meaning of the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended.

Based on the consolidated financial condition of the Company as of the Closing Date and as of the Option Closing Date, after giving effect to the receipt by the Company of the proceeds from the sale of the Offered Securities hereunder, the current cash flow of the Company, together with the proceeds the Company would receive, were it to liquidate all of its assets, after taking into account all anticipated uses of the cash, may be insufficient to pay all amounts on or in respect of its liabilities when such amounts are required to be paid. The Company does not intend to incur debts beyond its ability to pay such debts as they mature (taking into account the timing and amounts of cash to be payable on or in respect of its debt). Except as set forth in the Registration Statement, the General Disclosure Package and the Prospectus, the Company has no knowledge of any facts or circumstances which lead it to believe that it will file for reorganization or liquidation under the bankruptcy or reorganization laws of any jurisdiction within one year from the Closing Date or the Option Closing Date, as applicable.

Neither the Company nor any Subsidiary, nor to the knowledge of the Company or any Subsidiary, any agent or other person acting on behalf of the Company or any Subsidiary, has (i) directly or indirectly, used any funds for unlawful contributions, gifts, entertainment or other unlawful expenses related to foreign or domestic political activity, (ii) made any unlawful payment to foreign or domestic government officials or employees or to any foreign or domestic political parties or campaigns from corporate funds, (iii) failed to disclose fully any contribution made by the Company or any Subsidiary (or made by any person acting on its behalf of which the Company is aware) which is in violation of law, or (iv) violated in any material respect any provision of Foreign Corrupt Practices Act of 1977, as amended.

4. Agreements of the Company. The Company agrees with the Underwriters as follows:
(a) Amendments and Supplements to Registration Statement. The Company shall not, either prior to any effective date or thereafter during such period as the Prospectus is required by law to be delivered (whether physically or through compliance with Rule 172 of the Rules and Regulations or any similar rule) (the “Prospectus Delivery Period”) in connection with sales of the Offered Securities by an Underwriter or dealer, amend or supplement the Registration Statement, the General Disclosure Package or the Prospectus, unless a copy of such amendment or supplement thereof shall first have been submitted to the Representative within a reasonable period of time prior to the filing or, if no filing is required, the use thereof and the Representative shall not have objected thereto in good faith.
(b) Amendments and Supplements to the Registration Statement, the General Disclosure Package, and the Prospectus and Other Securities Act Matters. During the Prospectus Delivery Period, the Company will comply with all requirements imposed upon it by the Securities Act, as now and hereafter amended, and by the Rules and Regulations, as from time to time in force, and by the Exchange Act so far as necessary to permit the continuance of sales of or dealings in the Securities as contemplated by the provisions hereof, the General Disclosure Package, the Registration Statement and the Prospectus. If, during the Prospectus Delivery Period, any event or development shall occur or condition exist as a result of which the General Disclosure Package or the Prospectus, as then amended or supplemented, would include any untrue statement of a material fact or omit to state any material fact necessary in order to make the statements therein, in the light of the circumstances then prevailing or under which they were made, as the case may be, not misleading, or if it shall be necessary to amend or supplement the General Disclosure Package or the Prospectus in order to make the statements therein, in the light of the circumstances then prevailing or under which they were made, as the case may be, not misleading, or if in the opinion of the Representative it is otherwise necessary to amend or supplement the Registration Statement, the General Disclosure Package or the Prospectus, or to file a new registration statement containing the Prospectus, in order to comply with the Act, the Rules and Regulations, the Exchange Act or the Exchange Act Rules, including in connection with the delivery of the Prospectus, the Company agrees to (i) promptly notify the Representative of any such event or condition and (ii) promptly prepare (subject to Section 4(a) and 4(f) hereof), file with the Commission (and use its reasonable best efforts to have any amendment to the Registration Statement or any new registration statement to be declared effective) and furnish at its own expense to the Representative (and, if applicable, to dealers), amendments or supplements to the Registration Statement, the General Disclosure Package or the Prospectus, or any new registration statement, necessary in order to make the statements in the General Disclosure Package or the Prospectus as so amended or supplemented, in the light of the circumstances then prevailing or under which they were made, as the case may be, not misleading, or so that the Registration Statement or the Prospectus, as amended or supplemented, will comply with the Act, the Rules and Regulations, the Exchange Act or the Exchange Act Rules or any other applicable law.
(c) Notifications to the Underwriters. The Company shall use its reasonable best efforts to cause the Registration Statement to become effective, and shall notify the Representative promptly, and shall confirm such advice in writing, (i) when any post-effective amendment to the Registration Statement has become effective and when any post-effective amendment thereto becomes effective, (ii) of any request by the Commission for amendments or supplements to the Registration Statement or the Prospectus or for additional information, (iii) of the commencement by the Commission or by any state securities commission of any proceedings for the suspension of the qualification of any of the Offered Securities for offering or sale in any jurisdiction or of the initiation, or the threatening, of any proceeding for that purpose, including, without limitation, the issuance by the Commission of any stop order suspending the effectiveness of the Registration Statement or the initiation of any proceedings for that purpose or the threat thereof, (iv) of the happening of any event during the Prospectus Delivery Period that in the judgment of the Company makes any statement made in the Registration Statement or the Prospectus misleading (including by omission) or untrue or that requires the making of any changes in the Registration Statement or the Prospectus in order to make the statements therein, in light of the circumstances in which they are made, not misleading (including by omission), and (v) of receipt by the Company or any representative of the Company of any other communication from the Commission relating to the Company, the Registration Statement, any preliminary prospectus or the Prospectus. If at any time the Commission shall issue any order suspending the effectiveness of the Registration Statement, the Company shall use its reasonable best efforts to obtain the withdrawal of such order at the earliest possible moment. The Company shall comply with the provisions of and make all requisite filings with the Commission pursuant to Rules 424(b), 430A, 430B and 462(b) of the Rules and Regulations and to notify the Representative promptly of all such filings.

(e) Undertakings. The Company shall comply with all the provisions of any undertakings contained and required to be contained in the Registration Statement.
(f) Prospectus. The Company shall prepare the Prospectus in a form approved by the Representative and shall file such Prospectus with the Commission pursuant to Rule 424(b) of the Rules and Regulations with a filing date not later than the second business day following the execution and delivery of this Agreement. Promptly after the effective date of the Registration Statement, and thereafter from time to time during the period when the Prospectus is required (or, but for the provisions of Rule 172 under the Act, would be required) to be delivered, the Company shall deliver to the Representative, without charge, as many electronic copies of the Prospectus and any amendment or supplement thereto as the Representative may reasonably request. The Company consents to the use of the Prospectus and any amendment or supplement thereto by the Representative and by all dealers to whom the Offered Securities may be sold, both in connection with the offering or sale of the Offered Securities and for any period of time thereafter during the Prospectus Delivery Period. If, during the Prospectus Delivery Period any event shall occur that in the judgment of the Company or counsel to the Underwriters should be set forth in the Prospectus in order to make any statement therein, in the light of the circumstances under which it was made, not misleading (including by omission), or if it is necessary to supplement or amend the Prospectus to comply with law, the Company shall forthwith prepare and duly file with the Commission an appropriate supplement or amendment thereto, and shall deliver to the Representative, without charge, such number of electronic copies thereof as the Representative may reasonably request.
(g) Permitted Free Writing Prospectuses. The Company represents and agrees that it has not made and, unless it obtains the prior consent of the Representative, will not make, any offer relating to the Offered Securities that would constitute a “free writing prospectus” as defined in Rule 405 of the Rules and Regulations, required to be filed with the Commission or retained by the Company under Rule 433 of the Rules and Regulations; provided that the prior written consent of the Representative hereto shall be deemed to have been given in respect of the Issuer Free Writing Prospectuses included in Schedule I hereto. Any such free writing prospectus consented to by the Representative is herein referred to as a “Permitted Free Writing Prospectus.” The Company agrees that (i) it has treated and will treat, as the case may be, each Permitted Free Writing Prospectus as an Issuer Free Writing Prospectus, and (ii) has complied and will comply, as the case may be, with the requirements of Rules 164 and 433 of the Act applicable to any Permitted Free Writing Prospectus, including in respect of timely filing with the Commission, legending and record keeping. If at any time following the issuance of an Issuer Free Writing Prospectus there occurs an event or development as a result of which such Issuer Free Writing Prospectus would conflict with the information contained in the Registration Statement relating to the Offered Securities or would include an untrue statement of material fact or would omit to state a material fact necessary in order to make the statements therein, in light of the circumstances prevailing at that subsequent time, not misleading, the Company will promptly notify the Representative and will promptly amend or supplement, at its own expense, such Issuer Free Writing Prospectus to eliminate or correct such conflict, untrue statement, or omission. The Company represents that it has satisfied and agrees that it will satisfy the conditions in Rule 433 to avoid a requirement to file with the Commission any electronic road show.
(h) Compliance with Blue Sky Laws. Prior to any public offering of the Securities by the Underwriters, the Company shall cooperate with the Representative and counsel to the Underwriters in connection with the registration or qualification (or the obtaining of exemptions from the application thereof) of the Offered Securities for offer and sale under the securities or Blue Sky laws of such jurisdictions as the Representative may request limitation, provided, however, that in no event shall the Company be obligated to qualify a public offering outside the United States or to do business as a foreign corporation in any jurisdiction where it is not now so qualified, to qualify or register as a dealer in securities, to take any action which would subject it to general service of process in any jurisdiction where it is not now so subject or subject itself to ongoing taxation in respect of doing business in any jurisdiction in which it is not so subject.
(i) Delivery of Financial Statements. During the period of five years commencing on the effective date of the Registration Statement applicable to the Underwriters, the Company shall furnish to the Representative and each other Underwriter who may so request copies of such financial statements and other periodic and special reports as the Company may from time to time distribute generally to the holders of any class of its capital stock, and will furnish to the Representative and each other Underwriter who may so request a copy of each annual or other report it shall be required to file with the Commission; provided, however, that the availability of electronically transmitted copies filed with the Commission pursuant to EDGAR shall satisfy the Company’s obligation to furnish copies hereunder.
(j) Availability of Earnings Statements. The Company shall make generally available to holders of its securities as soon as may be practicable but in no event later than the last day of the fifteenth (15th) full calendar month following the calendar quarter in which the most recent effective date occurs in accordance with Rule 158 of the Rules and Regulations, an earnings statement (which need not be audited but shall be in reasonable detail) for a period of twelve (12) months ended commencing after the effective date, and satisfying the provisions of Section 11(a) of the Act (including Rule 158 of the Rules and Regulations).

The Representative, in conjunction with the Company, shall have the sole right to determine whether or not any other broker-dealer shall have right to participate in any such offering and the economic terms of any such participation.

(iv) In the event that any investor previously introduced to the Company by the Representative in the Offering subsequently provides capital to the Company in any public or private financing during the twelve (12) month period following the Closing Date, the Company shall pay to the Underwriters a cash fee of 7% of the gross proceeds on any such investments.

During any period when the Company fails to have maintained an effective Registration Statement or a current Prospectus relating thereto and a holder of a Warrant desires to exercise such warrant and, in the opinion of counsel to the holder, Rule 144 is not available as an exemption from registration for the resale of the Warrant Shares, the Company shall promptly file a registration statement registering the resale of the Warrant Shares and use its reasonable best efforts to have it declared effective by the Commission within thirty (30) days.
(s) Variable Rate Transactions. From the date hereof through and including the one year anniversary of the Closing Date, neither the Company nor any Subsidiary shall enter into, announce the entering into, or proposed entering into, a Variable Rate Transaction. For purposes hereof, a “Variable Rate Transaction” shall mean, collectively, an “Equity Line of Credit” or similar agreement, or a Variable Priced Equity Linked Instrument. For purposes hereof, “Equity Line of Credit” means any transaction involving a written agreement between the Company and an investor or underwriter whereby the Company has the right to “put” its securities to the investor or underwriter over an agreed period of time and at future determined price or price formula (other than customary “preemptive” or “participation” rights or “weighted average” or “full-ratchet” anti-dilution provisions or in connection with fixed-price rights offerings and similar transactions that are not Variable Priced Equity Linked Instruments), and “Variable Priced Equity Linked Instruments” means: (A) any debt or equity securities which are convertible into, exercisable or exchangeable for, or carry the right to receive additional Shares either (1) at any conversion, exercise or exchange rate or other price that is based upon and/or varies with the trading prices of or quotations for Shares at any time after the initial issuance of such debt or equity security, or (2) with a conversion, exercise or exchange price that is subject to being reset on more than one occasion at some future date at any time after the initial issuance of such debt or equity security due to a change in the market price of the Shares since date of initial issuance (other than customary “preemptive” or “participation” rights or “weighted average” or “full-ratchet” anti-dilution provisions or in connection with fixed-price rights offerings and similar transactions), and (B) any amortizing convertible security which amortizes prior to its maturity date, where the Company is required or has the option to (or any investor in such transaction has the option to require the Company to) make such amortization payments in Shares which are valued at a price that is based upon and/or varies with the trading prices of or quotations for Shares at any time after the initial issuance of such debt or equity security (whether or not such payments in stock are subject to certain equity conditions). For the avoidance of doubt, the foregoing shall not prevent the Company from conducting “at-the-market” offerings or similar equity distribution programs after the expiration of the Lock-Up Period.

6. Indemnification.
(a) Indemnification of the Underwriters. The Company shall indemnify and hold harmless each Underwriter, its affiliates, the directors, officers, employees and agents of such Underwriter and each person, if any, who controls such Underwriter within the meaning of Section 15 of the Act or Section 20 of the Exchange Act from and against any and all losses, claims, liabilities, expenses and damages (including any and all investigative, legal and other expenses reasonably incurred in connection with, and any amount paid in settlement of, any action, suit or proceeding between any of the indemnified parties and any indemnifying parties or between any indemnified party and any third party, or otherwise, or any claim asserted), to which they, or any of them, may become subject under the Act, the Exchange Act or other federal or state statutory law or regulation, at common law or otherwise, insofar as such losses, claims, liabilities, expenses or damages arise out of or are based on (i) any untrue statement or alleged untrue statement of a material fact contained in the Registration Statement (or any amendment thereto), including the information deemed to be a part of the Registration Statement at the time of effectiveness and at any subsequent time pursuant to Rules 430A and 430B of the Rules and Regulations, as applicable, or the omission or alleged omission therefrom of a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein not misleading or (ii) any untrue statement or alleged untrue statement of a material fact contained in any preliminary prospectus, any preliminary prospectus supplement, any Issuer Free Writing Prospectus or the Prospectus (or any amendment or supplement to any of the foregoing) or the omission or alleged omission therefrom of a material fact necessary in order to make the statements therein, in the light of the circumstances under which they were made, not misleading or (iii) any untrue statement or alleged untrue statement of a material fact contained in any materials or information provided to investors by, or with the approval of, the Company in connection with the marketing of the offering of the Securities, including any roadshow or investor presentations made to investors by the Company (whether in person or electronically) (collectively, Marketing Materials”) or the omission or alleged omission therefrom of a material fact necessary in order to make the statements therein, in the light of the circumstances under which they were made, not misleading or (iv) in whole or in part any inaccuracy in any material respect in the representations and warranties of the Company contained herein; provided, however, that the Company shall not be liable to the extent that such loss, claim, liability, expense or damage is based on any untrue statement or omission or alleged untrue statement or omission made in reliance on and in conformity with Underwriters’ Information. This indemnity agreement will be in addition to any liability that the Company might otherwise have.
(b) Indemnification of the Company. Each Underwriter, severally and not jointly, agrees to indemnify and hold harmless the Company, its affiliates, the directors, officers, employees and agents of the Company and each other person or entity, if any, who controls the Company within the meaning of Section 15 of the Act or Section 20 of the Exchange Act, against any losses, liabilities, claims, damages and expenses whatsoever, as incurred (including but not limited to reasonable attorneys’ fees and any and all reasonable expenses whatsoever, incurred in investigating, preparing or defending against any litigation, commenced or threatened, or any claim whatsoever, and any and all amounts paid in settlement of any claim or litigation), joint or several, to which they or any of them may become subject under the Act, the Exchange Act or otherwise, insofar as such losses, liabilities, claims, damages or expenses (or actions in respect thereof) arise out of or are based upon an untrue statement or alleged untrue statement of a material fact contained in the Registration Statement at the time of effectiveness and at any subsequent time pursuant to Rules 430A and 430B of the Rules and Regulations, any Preliminary Prospectus, the Prospectus, or any amendment or supplement to any of them, or arise out of or are based upon the omission or alleged omission to state therein a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein not misleading, in each case to the extent, but only to the extent, that any such loss, liability, claim, damage or expense (or action in respect thereof) arises out of or is based upon any such untrue statement or alleged untrue statement or omission or alleged omission made therein in reliance the Underwriters’ Information; provided, however, that in no case shall any Underwriter be liable or responsible for any amount in excess of the underwriting discount and commissions applicable to the Offered Securities purchased by such Underwriter hereunder.
(c) Indemnification Procedures. Any party that proposes to assert the right to be indemnified under this Section 6 shall, promptly after receipt of notice of commencement of any action against such party in respect of which a claim is to be made against an indemnifying party or parties under this Section 6, notify each such indemnifying party of the commencement of such action, enclosing a copy of all papers served, but the omission so to notify such indemnifying party shall not relieve the indemnifying party from any liability that it may have to any indemnified party under the foregoing provisions of this Section 6 unless, and only to the extent that, such omission results in the forfeiture of substantive rights or defenses by the indemnifying party. If any such action is brought against any indemnified party and it notifies the indemnifying party of its commencement, the indemnifying party will be entitled to participate in and, to the extent that it elects by delivering written notice to the indemnified party promptly after receiving notice of the commencement of the action from the indemnified party, jointly with any other indemnifying party similarly notified, to assume the defense of the action, with counsel satisfactory to the indemnified party, and after notice from the indemnifying party to the indemnified party of its election to assume the defense, the indemnifying party will not be liable to the indemnified party for any legal or other expenses except as provided below and except for the reasonable out-of-pocket costs of investigation subsequently incurred by the indemnified party in connection with the defense. The indemnified party will have the right to employ its own counsel in any such action, but the fees, expenses and other charges of such counsel will be at the expense of such indemnified party unless (i) the employment of counsel by the indemnified party has been authorized in writing by one of the indemnifying parties in connection with the defense of such action, (ii) the indemnified party has reasonably concluded (based on advice of counsel) that there may be legal defenses available to it or other indemnified parties that are different from or in addition to those available to the indemnifying party, (iii) the indemnified party has reasonably concluded that a conflict or potential conflict exists (based on advice of counsel to the indemnified party) between the indemnified party and the indemnifying party (in which case the indemnifying party shall not have the right to direct the defense of such action on behalf of the indemnified party), (iv) the indemnifying party does not diligently defend the action after assumption of the defense, or (v) the indemnifying party has not in fact employed counsel satisfactory to the indemnified party to assume the defense of such action within a reasonable time after receiving notice of the commencement of the action, in each of which cases the reasonable fees, disbursements and other charges of counsel shall be at the expense of the indemnifying party or parties. It is understood that the indemnifying party or parties shall not, in connection with any proceeding or related proceedings in the same jurisdiction, be liable for the reasonable fees, disbursements and other charges of more than one separate firm admitted to practice in such jurisdiction at any one time for all such indemnified party or parties. All such fees, disbursements and other charges shall be reimbursed by the indemnifying party promptly as they are incurred. An indemnifying party shall not be liable for any settlement of any action or claim effected without its written consent (which consent will not be unreasonably withheld or delayed). No indemnifying party shall, without the prior written consent of each indemnified party, settle or compromise or consent to the entry of any judgment in any pending or threatened claim, action or proceeding relating to the matters contemplated by this Section 6 (whether or not any indemnified party is a party thereto), unless (x) such settlement, compromise or consent (i) includes an unconditional release of each indemnified party from all liability arising or that may arise out of such claim, action or proceeding and (ii) does not include a statement as to or an admission of fault, culpability or a failure to act by or on behalf of any indemnified party, and (y) the indemnifying party confirms in writing its indemnification obligations hereunder with respect to such settlement, compromise or judgment. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if at any time an indemnified party shall have requested an indemnifying party to reimburse the indemnified party for fees and expenses of counsel, such indemnifying party agrees that it shall be liable for any settlement of the nature contemplated by Section 6(a) effected without its written consent if (A) such settlement is entered into more than 45 days after receipt by such indemnifying party of the aforesaid request, (B) such indemnifying party shall have received notice of the terms of such settlement at least 30 days prior to such settlement being entered into and (iii) such indemnifying party shall not have reimbursed such indemnified party in accordance with such request prior to the date of such settlement.
(d) Contribution. In order to provide for just and equitable contribution in circumstances in which the indemnification provided for in the foregoing paragraphs of this Section 6 is applicable in accordance with its terms but for any reason is held to be unavailable, the Company and the Underwriters shall contribute to the total losses, claims, liabilities, expenses and damages (including any investigative, legal and other expenses reasonably incurred in connection with, and any amount paid in settlement of, any action, suit or proceeding or any claim asserted, but after deducting any contribution received by the Company from persons other than the Underwriters, such as persons who control the Company within the meaning of the Act, officers of the Company who signed the Registration Statement and directors of the Company, who may also be liable for contribution), to which the Company and the Underwriter may be subject in such proportion as shall be appropriate to reflect the relative benefits received by the Company on the one hand and the Underwriters on the other from the offering of the Offered Securities pursuant to this Agreement. The relative benefits received by the Company and the Underwriters shall be deemed to be in the same proportion as (x) the total proceeds from the Offering (net of underwriting discount and commissions but before deducting expenses) received by the Company bears to (y) the underwriting discount and commissions received by the Underwriters, in each case as set forth in the table on the cover page of the Prospectus. If, but only if, the allocation provided by the foregoing sentence is not permitted by applicable law, the allocation of contribution shall be made in such proportion as is appropriate to reflect not only the relative benefits referred to in the foregoing sentence but also the relative fault of the Company, on the one hand, and the Underwriters, on the other, with respect to the statements or omissions which resulted in such loss, claim, liability, expense or damage, or action in respect thereof, as well as any other relevant equitable considerations with respect to such offering. Such relative fault shall be determined by reference to whether the untrue or alleged untrue statement of a material fact or omission or alleged omission to state a material fact relates to information supplied by the Company or the Underwriters, the intent of the parties and their relative knowledge, access to information and opportunity to correct or prevent such statement or omission. The Company and the Underwriters agree that it would not be just and equitable if contributions pursuant to this Section 6(d) were to be determined by pro rata allocation or by any other method of allocation (even if the Underwriters were treated as one entity for such purpose) which does not take into account the equitable considerations referred to herein. The amount paid or payable by an indemnified party as a result of the loss, claim, liability, expense or damage, or action in respect thereof, referred to above in this Section 6(d) shall be deemed to include, for purpose of this Section 6(d), any legal or other expenses reasonably incurred by such indemnified party in connection with investigating or defending any such action or claim. Notwithstanding the provisions of this Section 6(d), no Underwriter shall be required to contribute any amount in excess of the underwriting discounts and commissions received by it. No person found guilty of fraudulent misrepresentation (within the meaning of Section 11(f) of the Act) shall be entitled to contribution from any person who was not guilty of such fraudulent misrepresentation. For purposes of this Section 6(d), any person who controls a party to this Agreement within the meaning of the Act will have the same rights to contribution as that party, and each officer of the Company who signed the Registration Statement will have the same rights to contribution as the Company, and each director, officer, employee, counsel or agent of an Underwriter will have the same rights to contribution as such Underwriter, subject in each case to the provisions hereof. Any party entitled to contribution, promptly after receipt of notice of commencement of any action against such party in respect of which a claim for contribution may be made under this Section 6(d), will notify any such party or parties from whom contribution may be sought, but the omission so to notify will not relieve the party or parties from whom contribution may be sought from any other obligation it or they may have under this Section 6(d). The obligations of the Underwriters to contribute pursuant to this Section 6(d) are several in proportion to the respective number of Offered Securities to be purchased by each of the Underwriters hereunder and not joint. No party will be liable for contribution with respect to any action or claim settled without its written consent (which consent will not be unreasonably withheld).
(e) Survival. The indemnity and contribution agreements contained in this Section 6 and the representations and warranties of the Company contained in this Agreement shall remain operative and in full force and effect regardless of (i) any investigation made by or on behalf of any Underwriter or any controlling Person thereof, (ii) acceptance of any of the Securities and payment therefor or (iii) any termination of this Agreement.
7. Termination. The obligations of the Underwriters under this Agreement may be terminated at any time prior to the Closing Date (or, with respect to the Option Securities, on or prior to the Option Closing Date), by notice to the Company from the Representative, without liability on the part of the Underwriters to the Company, if, prior to delivery and payment for the Firm Securities (or the Option Securities, as the case may be), in the sole judgment of the Representative, any of the following shall occur:
(a) trading or quotation in any of the equity securities of the Company shall have been suspended or limited by the Commission, The Nasdaq Stock Market or by an exchange or otherwise;
(b) trading in securities generally on the New York Stock Exchange, the NYSE MKT, the NASDAQ Capital Market, the NASDAQ Global Market, the NASDAQ Global Select Market shall have been suspended or limited or minimum or maximum prices shall have been generally established on such exchange, or additional material governmental restrictions, not in force on the date of this Agreement, shall have been imposed upon trading in securities generally by such exchange or by order of the Commission or any court or other governmental authority;
(c) a general banking moratorium shall have been declared by any of U.S. federal, New York authorities;
(d) the United States shall have become engaged in new hostilities, there shall have been an escalation in hostilities involving the United States or there shall have been a declaration of a national emergency or war by the United States or there shall have occurred such a material adverse change in general economic, political or financial conditions, including, without limitation, as a result of terrorist activities after the date hereof (or the effect of international conditions on the financial markets in the United States shall be such), or any other calamity or crisis shall have occurred, the effect of any of which is such as to make it impracticable or inadvisable to market the Offered Securities on the terms and in the manner contemplated by the Prospectus;
(e) the Company shall have sustained a loss material or substantial to the Company by reason of flood, fire, accident, hurricane, earthquake, theft, sabotage, or other calamity or malicious act, whether or not such loss shall have been insured, the effect of any of which is such as to make it impracticable or inadvisable to market the Offered Securities on the terms and in the manner contemplated by the Prospectus; or
(f) there shall have been a Material Adverse Change.
8. Underwriter Default.
(a) If any Underwriter or Underwriters shall default in its or their obligation to purchase Firm Securities hereunder, and if the Securities with respect to which such default relates (the “Default Securities”) do not (after giving effect to arrangements, if any, made by the Representative pursuant to subsection (b) below) exceed in the aggregate 10% of the number of the Firm Securities, each non-defaulting Underwriter, acting severally and not jointly, agrees to purchase from the Company that number of Default Securities that bears the same proportion to the total number of Default Securities then being purchased as the number of Firm Securities set forth opposite the name of such Underwriter on Schedule A hereto bears to the aggregate number of Firm Securities set forth opposite the names of the non-defaulting Underwriters; subject, however, to such adjustments to eliminate fractional shares as the Representative in its discretion shall make.
(b) In the event that the aggregate number of Default Securities exceeds 10% of the number of Firm Securities, the Representatives may in their discretion arrange for themselves or for another party or parties (including any non-defaulting Underwriter or Underwriters who so agree) to purchase the Default Securities on the terms contained herein. In the event that within five (5) calendar days after such a default the Representative does not arrange for the purchase of the Default Securities as provided in this Section 8, this Agreement shall thereupon terminate, without liability on the part of the Company with respect thereto (except in each case as provided in Sections 4(k), 6 and 8) or the Underwriters, but nothing in this Agreement shall relieve a defaulting Underwriter or Underwriters of its or their liability, if any, to the other Underwriters and the Company for damages occasioned by its or their default hereunder.
(c) In the event that any Default Securities are to be purchased by the non-defaulting Underwriters, or are to be purchased by another party or parties as aforesaid, the Representatives or the Company shall have the right to postpone the Closing Date for a period, not exceeding five (5) Business Days, in order to effect whatever changes may thereby be necessary in the Registration Statement or the Prospectus or in any other documents and arrangements, and the Company agrees to file promptly any amendment or supplement to the Registration Statement or the Prospectus which, in the reasonable opinion of Underwriters’ Counsel, may be necessary or advisable. The term “Underwriter” as used in this Agreement shall include any party substituted under this Section 8 with like effect as if it had originally been a party to this Agreement with respect to such Firm Securities.
9. Miscellaneous.

Notice given pursuant to any of the provisions of this Agreement shall be in writing and, unless otherwise specified, shall be mailed, hand delivered or telecopied (a) if to the Company, at the office of the Company, 2029 Century Park East, Suite # 400N, Los Angeles, CA 90067, telephone number: (310) 229-5981, Attention: Chief Executive Officer, or (b) if to the Representative or any Underwriter, to Maxim Group LLC, 300 Park Avenue, 16th Floor, New York, New York 10022, Attention: Legal Department, telecopy number: (212) 895-3555.

The term “successors and assigns” as used in this Agreement shall not include a purchaser of Securities from any Underwriter in his, her or its capacity as such a purchaser, as such purchaser of Securities from such Underwriter.
(c) Survival of Representations and Warranties. All representations, warranties and agreements of the Company contained herein or in certificates or other instruments delivered pursuant hereto shall remain operative and in full force and effect regardless of any investigation made by or on behalf of the Underwriters or any of their controlling persons and shall survive delivery of and payment for the Securities hereunder.
(d) Disclaimer of Fiduciary Relationship. The Company acknowledges and agrees that (i) the purchase and sale of the Offered Securities pursuant to this Agreement, including the determination of the public offering price of the Offered Securities and any related discounts and commissions, is an arm’s-length commercial transaction between the Company, on the one hand, and the Underwriters, on the other hand, (ii) in connection with the Offering contemplated by this Agreement and the process leading to such transaction, the Underwriters are and have been acting pursuant to a contractual relationship created solely by this Agreement and are not agents or fiduciaries of the Company or its securityholders, creditors, employees or any other party, (iii) no Underwriter has assumed nor will it assume any advisory or fiduciary responsibility in favor of the Company with respect to the offering of the Securities contemplated by this Agreement or the process leading thereto (irrespective of whether such Underwriter or its affiliates has advised or is currently advising the Company on other matters) and each such Underwriter has no obligation to the Company with respect to the offering of the Securities contemplated by this Agreement except the obligations expressly set forth in this Agreement, (iv) the Underwriters and their affiliates may be engaged in a broad range of transactions that involve interests that differ from those of the Company, and (v) no Underwriter has provided any legal, accounting, regulatory or tax advice with respect to the Offering contemplated by this Agreement and the Company has consulted its own legal, accounting, regulatory and tax advisors to the extent it deemed appropriate.
(e) Governing Law. THIS AGREEMENT SHALL BE GOVERNED BY AND CONSTRUED IN ACCORDANCE WITH THE LAWS OF THE STATE OF NEW YORK APPLICABLE TO AGREEMENTS MADE AND TO BE PERFORMED ENTIRELY WITHIN SUCH STATE.
(f) Submission to Jurisdiction.

Ladies and Gentlemen:
As an inducement to Maxim Group LLC, as representative of the underwriters (the “Representative”), to execute an underwriting agreement (the “Underwriting Agreement”) with Eva Live Inc., a Nevada corporation (the “Company”), providing for a public offering (the “Offering”) of units of the Company (the “Units”), consisting of shares of the Company’s common stock, par value $0.0001 per share (the “Shares”), and common stock purchase warrants of the Company (the “Warrants,” and collectively with the Shares and the Units, the “Securities”), the undersigned hereby agrees that without, in each case, the prior written consent of the Representative, during the period specified in the second succeeding paragraph (the “Lock-Up Period”), the undersigned will not (1) offer, pledge, announce the intention to sell, sell, contract to sell, sell any option or contract to purchase, purchase any option or contract to sell, grant any option, right or warrant to purchase, make any short sale or otherwise transfer or dispose of, directly or indirectly, any Shares or any securities convertible into, exercisable or exchangeable for or that represent the right to receive Shares (including, without limitation, Shares which may be deemed to be beneficially owned by the undersigned in accordance with the rules and regulations of the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) and securities which may be issued upon exercise of a stock option or warrant) whether now owned or hereafter acquired (the “Undersigned’s Securities”) or (2) enter into any swap or other agreement that transfers, in whole or in part, any of the economic consequences of ownership of the Undersigned’s Securities, whether any such transaction described in clause (1) or (2) above is to be settled by delivery of Shares or such other securities, in cash or otherwise. The foregoing restriction is expressly agreed to preclude the undersigned from engaging in any hedging or other transaction which is designed to or which reasonably could be expected to lead to or result in a sale or disposition of the Undersigned’s Securities even if such Undersigned’s Securities would be disposed of by someone other than the undersigned. Such prohibited hedging or other transactions would include, without limitation, any short sale or any purchase, sale or grant of any right (including, without limitation, any put or call option) with respect to any of the Undersigned’s Securities or with respect to any security that includes, relates to, or derives any significant part of its value from such Undersigned’s Securities.
| A-1 |
In addition, the undersigned agrees that, without the prior written consent of the Representative, it will not, during the Lock-Up Period, make any demand for or exercise any right with respect to, the registration of any Shares or any security convertible into or exercisable or exchangeable for Shares other than as contemplated in the registration statement relating to the Offering.
The Lock-Up Period shall mean the period commencing on the date of this Lock-Up Agreement and continue and include the date ninety (90) days after the date of the final prospectus used to sell the Securities in the Offering pursuant to the Underwriting Agreement.
Notwithstanding the foregoing, the undersigned may transfer the Undersigned’s Securities (i) to a Permitted Transferee, (ii) as a bona fide gift or gifts, (iii) to any trust for the direct or indirect benefit of the undersigned or the immediate family of the undersigned, (iv) by virtue of the laws of descent and distribution upon death of the undersigned, or (v) pursuant to a qualified domestic relations order. As used in this Lock-Up Agreement, the term “Permitted Transferee” shall mean, if the undersigned is a corporation, company, business trust, association, limited liability company, partnership, limited liability partnership or other entity (collectively, the “Entities” or, individually, the “Entity”), to any person or Entity which controls, is directly or indirectly controlled by, or is under common control with the undersigned and, if the undersigned is a partnership or limited liability company, to its partners, former partners or an affiliated partnership (or members, former members or an affiliated limited liability company) managed by the same manager or managing partner (or managing member, as the case may be) or management company, or managed by an entity controlling, controlled by, or under common control with, such manager or managing partner (or managing member) or management company in accordance with partnership (or membership) interests; provided, in the case of clauses (i) through (v), that the transferee agrees in writing with the Representative to be bound by the terms of this Lock-Up Agreement, and provided, further, that in the case of clauses (i) through (iii), that no filing by any party in any public report or filing with the SEC shall be required or shall be made voluntarily in connection with such transfer. For purposes of this Lock-Up Agreement, “immediate family” shall mean any relationship by blood, marriage or adoption, not more remote than first cousin.

In addition, the foregoing restrictions shall not apply to (i) the exercise of stock options granted pursuant to the Company’s equity incentive plans; provided, that such restrictions shall apply to any of the Undersigned’s Securities issued upon such exercise, or (ii) the establishment of any contract, instruction or plan (a “Plan”) that satisfies all of the requirements of Rule 10b5-1(c)(1)(i)(B) under the Exchange Act; provided, that no sales of the Undersigned’s Securities shall be made pursuant to such a Plan prior to the expiration of the Lock-Up Period, and such a Plan may only be established if no public announcement of the establishment or existence thereof and no filing with the SEC or other regulatory authority in respect thereof or transactions thereunder or contemplated thereby, by the undersigned, the Company or any other person, shall be required, and no such announcement or filing is made voluntarily, by the undersigned, the Company or any other person, prior to the expiration of the Lock-Up Period.
| A-2 |
In furtherance of the foregoing, the Company and its transfer agent and registrar are hereby authorized to decline to make any transfer of Shares if such transfer would constitute a violation or breach of this Lock-Up Agreement.
The undersigned hereby represents and warrants that the undersigned has full power and authority to enter into this Lock-Up Agreement and that, upon request, the undersigned will execute any additional documents necessary in connection with the enforcement hereof. All authority herein conferred or agreed to be conferred and any obligations of the undersigned shall be binding upon the successors, assigns, heirs or personal representatives of the undersigned.
The undersigned understands that the undersigned shall be released from all obligations under this Lock-Up Agreement if (i) the Company or the Representative informs the other that it does not intend to proceed with the Offering, (ii) the Underwriting Agreement does not become effective or if the Underwriting Agreement (other than the provisions thereof which survive termination) shall terminate or be terminated prior to payment for and delivery of the Shares to be sold thereunder, or (iii) the Offering is not completed by [ ], 2025.
The undersigned understands that the Representative is entering into the Underwriting Agreement and proceeding with the Offering in reliance upon this Lock-Up Agreement.

If the Company fails for any reason to deliver to the Holder the Warrant Shares subject to a Notice of Exercise by the Warrant Share Delivery Date, the Company shall pay to the Holder, in cash, as liquidated damages and not as a penalty, for each $1,000 of Warrant Shares subject to such exercise (based on the VWAP of the Shares on the date of the applicable Notice of Exercise), $10 per Trading Day (increasing to $20 per Trading Day on the fifth Trading Day after such liquidated damages begin to accrue) for each Trading Day after such Warrant Share Delivery Date until such Warrant Shares are delivered or Holder rescinds such exercise. The Company agrees to maintain a transfer agent that is a participant in the FAST program so long as this Warrant remains outstanding and exercisable. As used herein, “Standard Settlement Period” means the standard settlement period, expressed in a number of Trading Days, on the Company’s primary Trading Market with respect to the Shares as in effect on the date of delivery of the Notice of Exercise. | |
| ii. | Delivery of New Warrants Upon Exercise. If this Warrant shall have been exercised in part, the Company shall, at the request of a Holder and upon surrender of this Warrant certificate, at the time of delivery of the Warrant Shares, deliver to the Holder a new Warrant evidencing the rights of the Holder to purchase the unpurchased Warrant Shares called for by this Warrant, which new Warrant shall in all other respects be identical with this Warrant. | |
| iii. | Rescission Rights. If the Company fails to cause the Transfer Agent to transmit to the Holder the Warrant Shares pursuant to Section 2(d)(i) by the Warrant Share Delivery Date, then the Holder will have the right to rescind such exercise upon written notice to the Company. |
| iv. | Compensation for Buy-In on Failure to Timely Deliver Warrant Shares Upon Exercise. In addition to any other rights available to the Holder, if the Company fails to cause the Transfer Agent to transmit to the Holder the Warrant Shares in accordance with the provisions of Section 2(d)(i) above pursuant to an exercise on or before the Warrant Share Delivery Date, and if after such date the Holder is required by its broker to purchase (in an open market transaction or otherwise) or the Holder’s brokerage firm otherwise purchases, Shares to deliver in satisfaction of a sale by the Holder of the Warrant Shares which the Holder anticipated receiving upon such exercise (a “Buy-In”), then the Company shall (A) pay in cash to the Holder the amount, if any, by which (x) the Holder’s total purchase price (including brokerage commissions, if any) for the Shares so purchased exceeds (y) the amount obtained by multiplying (1) the number of Warrant Shares that the Company was required to deliver to the Holder in connection with the exercise at issue times (2) the price at which the sell order giving rise to such purchase obligation was executed, and (B) at the option of the Holder, either reinstate the portion of the Warrant and equivalent number of Warrant Shares for which such exercise was not honored (in which case such exercise shall be deemed rescinded) or deliver to the Holder the number of Shares that would have been issued had the Company timely complied with its exercise and delivery obligations hereunder. For example, if the Holder purchases Shares having a total purchase price of $11,000 to cover a Buy-In with respect to an attempted exercise of Shares with an aggregate sale price giving rise to such purchase obligation of $10,000, under clause (A) of the immediately preceding sentence the Company shall be required to pay the Holder $1,000. The Holder shall provide the Company written notice indicating the amounts payable to the Holder in respect of the Buy-In and, upon request of the Company, evidence of the amount of such loss. Nothing herein shall limit a Holder’s right to pursue any other remedies available to it hereunder, at law or in equity including, without limitation, a decree of specific performance and/or injunctive relief with respect to the Company’s failure to timely deliver Shares upon exercise of the Warrant as required pursuant to the terms hereof. | |
| v. | No Fractional Shares or Scrip. No fractional shares or scrip representing fractional shares shall be issued upon the exercise of this Warrant. As to any fraction of a share which the Holder would otherwise be entitled to purchase upon such exercise, the Company shall, at its election, either pay a cash adjustment in respect of such final fraction in an amount equal to such fraction multiplied by the Exercise Price or round up to the next whole share. | |
| vi. | Charges, Taxes and Expenses. Issuance of Warrant Shares shall be made without charge to the Holder for any issue or transfer tax or other incidental expense in respect of the issuance of such Warrant Shares, all of which taxes and expenses shall be paid by the Company, and such Warrant Shares shall be issued in the name of the Holder or in such name or names as may be directed by the Holder; provided, however, that, in the event that Warrant Shares are to be issued in a name other than the name of the Holder, this Warrant, when surrendered for exercise, shall be accompanied by the Assignment Form attached hereto duly executed by the Holder and the Company may require, as a condition thereto, the payment of a sum sufficient to reimburse it for any transfer tax incidental thereto. The Company shall pay all Transfer Agent fees required for same-day processing of any Notice of Exercise and all fees to the Depository Trust Company (or another established clearing corporation performing similar functions) required for same-day electronic delivery of the Warrant Shares. | |
| vii. | Closing of Books. The Company will not close its shareholder books or records in any manner which prevents the timely exercise of this Warrant, pursuant to the terms hereof.
|
e) 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 (such Persons, “Attribution Parties”)), would beneficially own in excess of the Beneficial Ownership Limitation (as defined below). For purposes of the foregoing sentence, the number of Shares beneficially owned by the Holder and its Affiliates and Attribution Parties shall include the number of Shares issuable upon exercise of this Warrant with respect to which such determination is being made, but shall exclude the number of Shares 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 or Attribution Parties and (ii) exercise or conversion of the unexercised or nonconverted portion of any other securities of the Company (including, without limitation, any other Common Share 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 or Attribution Parties. 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 Attribution Parties) 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 Attribution Parties) 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 and shall have no liability for exercises of this Warrant that are not in compliance with the Beneficial Ownership Limitation (other than to the extent that information on the number of outstanding Shares of the Company is provided by the Company and relied upon by the Holder). 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, a Holder may rely on the number of outstanding Shares 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 outstanding. Upon the written or oral request of a Holder, the Company shall within one Trading Day confirm orally and in writing to the Holder the number of Shares then outstanding. In any case, the number of outstanding Shares 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 or Attribution Parties since the date as of which such number of outstanding Shares was reported. The “Beneficial Ownership Limitation” shall be 4.99% (or, upon election by a Holder prior to the issuance of any Warrants, 9.99%) of the number of Shares outstanding immediately after giving effect to the issuance of Shares issuable upon exercise of this Warrant. The Holder, upon notice to the Company, may increase or decrease the Beneficial Ownership Limitation provisions of this Section 2(e), provided that the Beneficial Ownership Limitation in no event exceeds 9.99% of the number of Shares outstanding immediately after giving effect to the issuance of Shares upon exercise of this Warrant held by the Holder and the provisions of this Section 2(e) shall continue to apply. Any increase in the Beneficial Ownership Limitation will not be effective until the 61st day after such notice is delivered 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.
Section 3. Certain Adjustments.
a) Share Dividends and Splits. If the Company, at any time while this Warrant is outstanding: (i) pays a share dividend or otherwise makes a distribution or distributions on its Shares or any other equity or equity equivalent securities payable in Shares (which, for avoidance of doubt, shall not include any Shares issued by the Company upon exercise of this Warrant), (ii) subdivides outstanding Shares into a larger number of shares, (iii) combines (including by way of reverse stock split) outstanding Shares into a smaller number of shares, or (iv) issues by reclassification of the Shares any shares of the Company, then in each case the Exercise Price shall be multiplied by a fraction of which the numerator shall be the number of Shares (excluding treasury shares, if any) outstanding immediately before such event and of which the denominator shall be the number of Shares outstanding immediately after such event, and the number of shares issuable upon exercise of this Warrant shall be proportionately adjusted such that the aggregate Exercise Price of this Warrant shall remain unchanged. Any adjustment made pursuant to this Section 3(a) shall become effective immediately after the record date for the determination of shareholders entitled to receive such dividend or distribution and shall become effective immediately after the effective date in the case of a subdivision, combination or re-classification.
b) Subsequent Rights Offerings. In addition to any adjustments pursuant to Section 3(a) above, if at any time the Company grants, issues or sells any Common Stock Equivalents or rights to purchase shares, warrants, securities or other property pro rata to the record holders of any class of Shares (the “Purchase Rights”), then the Holder will be entitled to acquire, upon the terms applicable to such Purchase Rights, the aggregate Purchase Rights which the Holder could have acquired if the Holder had held the number of Shares acquirable upon complete exercise of this Warrant (without regard to any limitations on exercise hereof, including without limitation, the Beneficial Ownership Limitation) immediately before the date on which a record is taken for the grant, issuance or sale of such Purchase Rights, or, if no such record is taken, the date as of which the record holders of Shares are to be determined for the grant, issue or sale of such Purchase Rights (provided, however, that, to the extent that the Holder’s right to participate in any such Purchase Right would result in the Holder exceeding the Beneficial Ownership Limitation, then the Holder shall not be entitled to participate in such Purchase Right to such extent (or beneficial ownership of such Shares as a result of such Purchase Right to such extent) and such Purchase Right to such extent shall be held in abeyance for the Holder until such time, if ever, as its right thereto would not result in the Holder exceeding the Beneficial Ownership Limitation).
c) Pro Rata Distributions. During such time as this Warrant is outstanding, if the Company shall declare or make any dividend or other distribution of its assets (or rights to acquire its assets) to holders of Shares, by way of return of capital or otherwise (excluding cash and including, without limitation, any distribution of shares or other securities, property or options by way of a dividend, spin off, reclassification, corporate rearrangement, scheme of arrangement or other similar transaction) other than dividends or distributions subject to Section 3(a) (a “Distribution”), at any time after the issuance of this Warrant, then, in each such case, the Holder shall be entitled to participate in such Distribution to the same extent that the Holder would have participated therein if the Holder had held the number of Shares acquirable upon complete exercise of this Warrant (without regard to any limitations on exercise hereof, including without limitation, the Beneficial Ownership Limitation) immediately before the date of which a record is taken for such Distribution, or, if no such record is taken, the date as of which the record holders of Shares are to be determined for the participation in such Distribution (provided, however, that, to the extent that the Holder’s right to participate in any such Distribution would result in the Holder exceeding the Beneficial Ownership Limitation, then the Holder shall not be entitled to participate in such Distribution to such extent (or in the beneficial ownership of any Shares as a result of such Distribution to such extent) and the portion of such Distribution shall be held in abeyance for the benefit of the Holder until such time, if ever, as its right thereto would not result in the Holder exceeding the Beneficial Ownership Limitation).
d) Fundamental Transaction. If, at any time while this Warrant is outstanding, (i) the Company, directly or indirectly, in one or more related transactions, effects any merger or consolidation of the Company with or into another Person, (ii) the Company (or any Subsidiary), directly or indirectly, effects any sale, lease, license, assignment, transfer, conveyance or other disposition of all or substantially all of its assets in one or a series of related transactions, (iii) any, direct or indirect, purchase offer, tender offer or exchange offer (whether by the Company or another Person) is completed pursuant to which holders of Shares are permitted to sell, tender or exchange their shares for other securities, cash or property and has been accepted by the holders of 50% or more of the outstanding Shares or 50% or more of the voting power of the common equity of the Company, (iv) the Company, directly or indirectly, in one or more related transactions effects any reclassification, reorganization or recapitalization of the Shares or any compulsory share exchange pursuant to which the Shares are effectively converted into or exchanged for other securities, cash or property, or (v) the Company, directly or indirectly, in one or more related transactions consummates a stock or share purchase agreement or other business combination (including, without limitation, a reorganization, recapitalization, spin-off, merger or scheme of arrangement) with another Person or group of Persons whereby such other Person or group acquires 50% or more of the outstanding Shares or 50% or more of the voting power of the common equity of the Company (each a “Fundamental Transaction”), then, upon any subsequent exercise of this Warrant, the Holder shall have the right to receive, for each Warrant Share that would have been issuable upon such exercise immediately prior to the occurrence of such Fundamental Transaction, at the option of the Holder (without regard to any limitation in Section 2(e) on the exercise of this Warrant), the number of Shares of the successor or acquiring corporation or of the Company, if it is the surviving corporation, and any additional consideration (the “Alternate Consideration”) receivable as a result of such Fundamental Transaction by a holder of the number of Shares for which this Warrant is exercisable immediately prior to such Fundamental Transaction (without regard to any limitation in Section 2(e) on the exercise of this Warrant). For purposes of any such exercise, the determination of the Exercise Price shall be appropriately adjusted to apply to such Alternate Consideration based on the amount of Alternate Consideration issuable in respect of one Share in such Fundamental Transaction, and the Company shall apportion the Exercise Price among the Alternate Consideration in a reasonable manner reflecting the relative value of any different components of the Alternate Consideration. If holders of Shares are given any choice as to the securities, cash or property to be received in a Fundamental Transaction, then the Holder shall be given the same choice as to the Alternate Consideration it receives upon any exercise of this Warrant following such Fundamental Transaction. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary, in the event of a Fundamental Transaction, the Company or any Successor Entity (as defined below) shall, at the Holder’s option, exercisable at any time concurrently with, or within 30 days after, the consummation of the Fundamental Transaction (or, if later, the date of the public announcement of the applicable Fundamental Transaction), purchase this Warrant from the Holder by paying to the Holder an amount of cash equal to the Black Scholes Value (as defined below) of the remaining unexercised portion of this Warrant on the date of the consummation of such Fundamental Transaction; provided, however, that, if the Fundamental Transaction is not within the Company’s control, including not approved by the Company’s Board of Directors, the Holder shall only be entitled to receive from the Company or any Successor Entity the same type or form of consideration (and in the same proportion), at the Black Scholes Value of the unexercised portion of this Warrant, that is being offered and paid to the holders of Shares of the Company in connection with the Fundamental Transaction, whether that consideration be in the form of cash, stock or any combination thereof, or whether the holders of Shares are given the choice to receive from among alternative forms of consideration in connection with the Fundamental Transaction; provided, further, that if holders of Shares of the Company are not offered or paid any consideration in such Fundamental Transaction, such holders of Shares will be deemed to have received common stock of the Successor Entity (which Entity may be the Company following such Fundamental Transaction) in such Fundamental Transaction. “Black Scholes Value” means the value of this Warrant based on the Black-Scholes Option Pricing Model obtained from the “OV” function on Bloomberg determined as of the day of consummation of the applicable Fundamental Transaction for pricing purposes and reflecting (A) a risk-free interest rate corresponding to the U.S. Treasury rate for a period equal to the time between the date of the public announcement of the applicable contemplated Fundamental Transaction and the Termination Date, (B) an expected volatility equal to the volatility for the remaining exercise period as obtained from the HVT function on Bloomberg (determined utilizing a 365 day annualization factor) as of the Trading Day immediately following the public announcement of the applicable contemplated Fundamental Transaction, (C) the underlying price per share used in such calculation shall be the highest VWAP during the period beginning on the Trading Day immediately preceding the public announcement of the applicable contemplated Fundamental Transaction (or the consummation of the applicable Fundamental Transaction, if earlier) and ending on the Trading Day of the Holder’s request pursuant to this Section 3(d), (D) a remaining option time equal to the time between the date of the public announcement of the applicable contemplated Fundamental Transaction and the Termination Date, and (E) a zero cost of borrow. The payment of the Black Scholes Value will be made by wire transfer of immediately available funds (or such other consideration) within the later of (i) five Business Days of the Holder’s election and (ii) the date of consummation of the Fundamental Transaction. The Company shall cause any successor entity in a Fundamental Transaction in which the Company is not the survivor (the “Successor Entity”) to assume in writing all of the obligations of the Company under this Warrant and the other Transaction Documents in accordance with the provisions of this Section 3(d) and shall, at the option of the Holder, deliver to the Holder in exchange for this Warrant a security of the Successor Entity evidenced by a written instrument substantially similar in form and substance to this Warrant which is exercisable for a corresponding number of shares of capital stock of such Successor Entity (or its parent entity) equivalent to the Shares acquirable and receivable upon exercise of this Warrant (without regard to any limitations on the exercise of this Warrant) prior to such Fundamental Transaction, and with an exercise price which applies the exercise price hereunder to such shares of capital stock (but taking into account the relative value of the Shares pursuant to such Fundamental Transaction and the value of such shares of capital stock, such number of shares of capital stock and such exercise price being for the purpose of protecting the economic value of this Warrant immediately prior to the consummation of such Fundamental Transaction), and which is reasonably satisfactory in form and substance to the Holder. Upon the occurrence of any such Fundamental Transaction, the Successor Entity shall succeed to, and be substituted for (so that from and after the occurrence or consummation of such Fundamental Transaction, each and every provision of this Warrant and the other Transaction Documents referring to the “Company” shall refer instead to each of the Company and the Successor Entity or Successor Entities, jointly and severally), and the Successor Entity or Successor Entities, jointly and severally with the Company, may exercise every right and power of the Company prior thereto and the Successor Entity or Successor Entities shall assume all of the obligations of the Company prior thereto under this Warrant and the other Transaction Documents with the same effect as if the Company and such Successor Entity or Successor Entities, jointly and severally, had been named as the Company herein. For the avoidance of doubt, the Holder shall be entitled to the benefits of the provisions of this Section 3(d) regardless of (i) whether the Company has sufficient authorized shares of Common Stock for the issuance of Warrant Shares and/or (ii) whether a Fundamental Transaction occurs prior to the Initial Exercise Date.
e) Calculations. All calculations under this Section 3 shall be made to the nearest cent or the nearest 1/100th of a share, as the case may be. For purposes of this Section 3, the number of Shares deemed to be issued and outstanding as of a given date shall be the sum of the number of Shares (excluding treasury shares, if any) issued and outstanding.
f) Notice to Holder.
i. Adjustment to Exercise Price. Whenever the Exercise Price is adjusted pursuant to any provision of this Section 3, the Company shall promptly deliver to the Holder by email a notice setting forth the Exercise Price after such adjustment and any resulting adjustment to the number of Warrant Shares and setting forth a brief statement of the facts requiring such adjustment.
ii. Notice to Allow Exercise by Holder. If (A) the Company shall declare a dividend (or any other distribution in whatever form) on the Shares, (B) the Company shall declare a special nonrecurring cash dividend on or a redemption of the Shares, (C) the Company shall authorize the granting to all holders of the Shares rights or warrants to subscribe for or purchase any shares of any class or of any rights, (D) the approval of any shareholders of the Company shall be required in connection with any reclassification of the Shares, any consolidation or merger to which the Company (and all of its Subsidiaries, taken as a whole) is a party, any sale or transfer of all or substantially all of the assets of the Company, or any compulsory share exchange whereby the Shares are converted into other securities, cash or property, or (E) the Company shall authorize the voluntary or involuntary dissolution, liquidation or winding up of the affairs of the Company, then, in each case, the Company shall cause to be delivered by email to the Holder at its last email address as it shall appear upon the Warrant Register of the Company, at least 20 calendar days prior to the applicable record or effective date hereinafter specified, a notice stating (x) the date on which a record is to be taken for the purpose of such dividend, distribution, redemption, rights or warrants, or if a record is not to be taken, the date as of which the holders of the Shares of record to be entitled to such dividend, distributions, redemption, rights or warrants are to be determined or (y) the date on which such reclassification, consolidation, merger, sale, transfer or share exchange is expected to become effective or close, and the date as of which it is expected that holders of the Shares of record shall be entitled to exchange their Shares for securities, cash or other property deliverable upon such reclassification, consolidation, merger, sale, transfer or share exchange; provided that the failure to deliver such notice or any defect therein or in the delivery thereof shall not affect the validity of the corporate action required to be specified in such notice. To the extent that any notice provided in this Warrant constitutes, or contains, material, non-public information regarding the Company or any of the Subsidiaries, the Company shall promptly furnish such notice with the Commission pursuant to a Current Report on Form 8-K, as applicable. The Holder shall remain entitled to exercise this Warrant during the period commencing on the date of such notice to the effective date of the event triggering such notice except as may otherwise be expressly set forth herein.
g) [Reserved].
h) [Reserved].
i) [Reserved].
j) Voluntary Adjustment By Company. Subject to the rules and regulations of the Trading Market, the Company may at any time during the term of this Warrant, subject to the prior written consent of the Holder, reduce the then current Exercise Price to any amount and for any period of time deemed appropriate by the board of directors of the Company.
Section 4. Transfer of Warrant.
a) Transferability. This Warrant and all rights hereunder (including, without limitation, any registration rights) are transferable, in whole or in part, upon surrender of this Warrant at the principal office of the Company or its designated agent, together with a written assignment of this Warrant substantially in the form attached hereto duly executed by the Holder or its agent or attorney and funds sufficient to pay any transfer taxes payable upon the making of such transfer. Upon such surrender and, if required, such payment, the Company shall execute and deliver a new Warrant or Warrants in the name of the assignee or assignees, as applicable, and in the denomination or denominations specified in such instrument of assignment, and shall issue to the assignor a new Warrant evidencing the portion of this Warrant not so assigned, and this Warrant shall promptly be cancelled. Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, the Holder shall not be required to physically surrender this Warrant to the Company unless the Holder has assigned this Warrant in full, in which case, the Holder shall surrender this Warrant to the Company within three (3) Trading Days of the date on which the Holder delivers an assignment form to the Company assigning this Warrant in full. The Warrant, if properly assigned in accordance herewith, may be exercised by a new holder for the purchase of Warrant Shares without having a new Warrant issued.
b) New Warrants. If this Warrant is not held in global form through DTC (or any successor depositary), this Warrant may be divided or combined with other Warrants upon presentation hereof at the aforesaid office of the Company, together with a written notice specifying the names and denominations in which new Warrants are to be issued, signed by the Holder or its agent or attorney. Subject to compliance with Section 4(a), as to any transfer which may be involved in such division or combination, the Company shall execute and deliver a new Warrant or Warrants in exchange for the Warrant or Warrants to be divided or combined in accordance with such notice. All Warrants issued on transfers or exchanges shall be dated the initial issuance date of this Warrant and shall be identical with this Warrant except as to the number of Warrant Shares issuable pursuant thereto.
c) Warrant Register. The Warrant Agent shall register this Warrant, upon records to be maintained by the Warrant Agent for that purpose (the “Warrant Register”), in the name of the record Holder hereof from time to time. The Company and the Warrant Agent may deem and treat the registered Holder of this Warrant as the absolute owner hereof for the purpose of any exercise hereof or any distribution to the Holder, and for all other purposes, absent actual notice to the contrary.
Section 5. Miscellaneous.
a) No Rights as Shareholder Until Exercise; No Settlement in Cash. This Warrant does not entitle the Holder to any voting rights, dividends or other rights as a shareholder of the Company prior to the exercise hereof as set forth in Section 2(d)(i), except as expressly set forth in Section 3. Without limiting any rights of a Holder to receive Warrant Shares on a “cashless exercise” pursuant to Section 2(c) or to receive cash payments pursuant to Section 2(d)(i) herein, in no event shall the Company be required to net cash settle an exercise of this Warrant.
b) Loss, Theft, Destruction or Mutilation of Warrant. The Company covenants that upon receipt by the Company of evidence reasonably satisfactory to it of the loss, theft, destruction or mutilation of this Warrant or any share certificate relating to the Warrant Shares, and in case of loss, theft or destruction, of indemnity or security reasonably satisfactory to it (which, in the case of the Warrant, shall not include the posting of any bond), and upon surrender and cancellation of such Warrant or share certificate, if mutilated, the Company will make and deliver a new Warrant or share certificate of like tenor and dated as of such cancellation, in lieu of such Warrant or share certificate.
c) Saturdays, Sundays, Holidays, etc. If the last or appointed day for the taking of any action or the expiration of any right required or granted herein shall not be a Business Day, then such action may be taken or such right may be exercised on the next succeeding Business Day.
d) Authorized Shares.
The Company covenants that, during the period the Warrant is outstanding, it will, if applicable, reserve from its authorized and unissued Shares a sufficient number of shares to provide for the issuance of the Warrant Shares upon the exercise of any purchase rights under this Warrant. The Company further covenants that its issuance of this Warrant shall constitute full authority to its officers who are charged with the duty of issuing the necessary Warrant Shares upon the exercise of the purchase rights under this Warrant. The Company will take all such reasonable action as may be necessary to assure that such Warrant Shares may be issued as provided herein without violation of any applicable law or regulation, or of any requirements of the Trading Market upon which the Shares may be listed. The Company covenants that all Warrant Shares which may be issued upon the exercise of the purchase rights represented by this Warrant will, upon exercise of the purchase rights represented by this Warrant and payment for such Warrant Shares in accordance herewith, be duly authorized, validly issued, fully paid and nonassessable and free from all taxes, liens and charges created by the Company in respect of the issue thereof (other than taxes in respect of any transfer occurring contemporaneously with such issue).
Except and to the extent as waived or consented to by the Holder, the Company shall not by any action, including, without limitation, amending its certificate of incorporation or through any reorganization, transfer of assets, consolidation, merger, dissolution, issue or sale of securities or any other voluntary action, avoid or seek to avoid the observance or performance of any of the terms of this Warrant, but will at all times in good faith assist in the carrying out of all such terms and in the taking of all such actions as may be necessary or appropriate to protect the rights of Holder as set forth in this Warrant against impairment. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the Company will (i) not increase the par value of any Warrant Shares above the amount payable therefor upon such exercise immediately prior to such increase in par value, (ii) take all such action as may be necessary or appropriate in order that the Company may validly and legally issue fully paid and nonassessable Warrant Shares upon the exercise of this Warrant and (iii) use commercially reasonable efforts to obtain all such authorizations, exemptions or consents from any public regulatory body having jurisdiction thereof, as may be, necessary to enable the Company to perform its obligations under this Warrant.
Before taking any action which would result in an adjustment in the number of Warrant Shares for which this Warrant is exercisable or in the Exercise Price, the Company shall obtain all such authorizations or exemptions thereof, or consents thereto, as may be necessary from any public regulatory body or bodies having jurisdiction thereof.
e) Governing Law. All questions concerning the construction, validity, enforcement and interpretation of this Warrant shall be governed by and construed and enforced in accordance with the internal laws of the State of New York, without regard to the principles of conflicts of law thereof. Each party agrees that all legal proceedings concerning the interpretations, enforcement and defense of the transactions contemplated by this Warrant (whether brought against a party hereto or their respective affiliates, directors, officers, shareholders, partners, members, employees or agents) shall be commenced exclusively in the state and federal courts sitting in the City of New York. Each party hereby irrevocably submits to the exclusive jurisdiction of the state and federal courts sitting in the City of New York, Borough of Manhattan for the adjudication of any dispute hereunder or in connection herewith or with any transaction contemplated hereby or discussed herein, and hereby irrevocably waives, and agrees not to assert in any suit, action or proceeding, any claim that it is not personally subject to the jurisdiction of any such court, that such suit, action or proceeding is improper or is an inconvenient venue for such proceeding. Each party hereby irrevocably waives personal service of process and consents to process being served in any such suit, action or proceeding by mailing a copy thereof via registered or certified mail or overnight delivery (with evidence of delivery) to such party at the address in effect for notices to it under this Warrant and agrees that such service shall constitute good and sufficient service of process and notice thereof. Nothing contained herein shall be deemed to limit in any way any right to serve process in any other manner permitted by law. If either party shall commence an action, suit or proceeding to enforce any provisions of this Warrant, the prevailing party in such action, suit or proceeding shall be reimbursed by the other party for their reasonable attorneys’ fees and other costs and expenses incurred with the investigation, preparation and prosecution of such action or proceeding.
f) Restrictions. The Holder acknowledges that the Warrant Shares acquired upon the exercise of this Warrant, if not registered, and the Holder does not utilize cashless exercise, will have restrictions upon resale imposed by state and federal securities laws.
g) Nonwaiver and Expenses. No course of dealing or any delay or failure to exercise any right hereunder on the part of Holder shall operate as a waiver of such right or otherwise prejudice the Holder’s rights, powers or remedies.
h) Notices. Any and all notices or other communications or deliveries to be provided by the Holders hereunder including, without limitation, any Notice of Exercise, shall be in writing and delivered personally, by e-mail, or sent by a nationally recognized overnight courier service, addressed to the Company, at 2029 Century Park East, Suite # 400, Attention: Chief Executive Officer, email address: dave@eva.live, or such other email address or address as the Company may specify for such purposes by notice to the Holders.

(SEE SECTION 4(a)).
REPRESENTATIVE’S COMMON STOCK PURCHASE WARRANT
EVA LIVE, INC.
| Warrant Shares: [ ] | Original Issuance Date: [ ], 2025 |
THIS COMMON STOCK PURCHASE WARRANT (the “Warrant”) certifies that, for value received, Maxim Partners LLC or its assigns (the “Holder”) is entitled, upon the terms and subject to the limitations on exercise and the conditions hereinafter set forth, at any time on or after six (6) months from the effective date of the Registration Statement (the “Initial Exercise Date”) and on or prior to 5:00 p.m. (New York City time) on [ ], 2031 (the “Termination Date”) but not thereafter, to subscribe for and purchase from Eva Live, Inc., a Nevada corporation (the “Company”), up to [ ] shares of common stock of the Company, par value $0.0001 per share (as subject to adjustment hereunder, the “Warrant Shares”). The purchase price of one Firm Share under this Warrant shall be equal to the Exercise Price, as defined in Section 2(b).
Section 1. Definitions. Capitalized terms used and not otherwise defined herein shall have the meanings set forth in that certain Underwriting Agreement (the “Agreement”), dated [ ], 2025 by and between the Company and Maxim Group, LLC, as representative of the several underwriters.
Section 2. Exercise.
a) Exercise of Warrant. Exercise of the purchase rights represented by this Warrant may be made, in whole or in part, at any time or times on or after the Initial Exercise Date and on or before the Termination Date by delivery to the Company of a duly executed facsimile copy (or e-mail attachment) of the Notice of Exercise in the form annexed hereto (the “Notice of Exercise”). Within the earlier of (i) two (2) Trading Days and (ii) the number of Trading Days comprising the Standard Settlement Period (as defined in Section 2(d)(i) herein) following the date of exercise as aforesaid, the Holder shall deliver the aggregate Exercise Price for the shares specified in the applicable Notice of Exercise by wire transfer or cashier’s check drawn on a United States bank unless the cashless exercise procedure specified in Section 2(c) below is specified in the applicable Notice of Exercise. No ink-original Notice of Exercise shall be required, nor shall any medallion guarantee (or other type of guarantee or notarization) of any Notice of Exercise be required. Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, the Holder shall not be required to physically surrender this Warrant to the Company until the Holder has purchased all of the Warrant Shares available hereunder and the Warrant has been exercised in full, in which case, the Holder shall surrender this Warrant to the Company for cancellation within three (3) Trading Days of the date on which the final Notice of Exercise is delivered to the Company. Partial exercises of this Warrant resulting in purchases of a portion of the total number of Warrant Shares available hereunder shall have the effect of lowering the outstanding number of Warrant Shares purchasable hereunder in an amount equal to the applicable number of Warrant Shares purchased. The Holder and the Company shall maintain records showing the number of Warrant Shares purchased and the date of such purchases. The Company shall deliver any objection to any Notice of Exercise within one (1) Business Day of receipt of such notice. The Holder and any assignee, by acceptance of this Warrant, acknowledge and agree that, by reason of the provisions of this paragraph, following the purchase of a portion of the Warrant Shares hereunder, the number of Warrant Shares available for purchase hereunder at any given time may be less than the amount stated on the face hereof.
b) Exercise Price. The exercise price per Firm Share under this Warrant shall be $[ ] (which is 125% of the offering price per Firm Share in the offering contemplated by the Agreement) (the “Exercise Price”).
c) Cashless Exercise. If at the time of exercise hereof there is no effective registration statement registering the Warrant Shares, or the prospectus contained therein is not available for the issuance of the Warrant Shares to the Holder, then, provided that the Trading Price, as defined below, is equal to or greater than the Exercise Price, on the Termination Date, this Warrant may also be exercised, in whole or in part, at such time by means of a “cashless exercise” in which the Holder shall be entitled to receive a number of Warrant Shares equal to the quotient obtained by dividing [(A-B) (X)] by (A), where:
| (A) | = | as applicable: (i) the VWAP (as defined below) on the Trading Day immediately preceding the date of the applicable Notice of Exercise if such Notice of Exercise is (1) both executed and delivered pursuant to Section 2(a) hereof on a day that is not a Trading Day or (2) both executed and delivered pursuant to Section 2(a) hereof on a Trading Day prior to the opening of “regular trading hours” (as defined in Rule 600(b)(64) of Regulation NMS promulgated under the federal securities laws) on such Trading Day, (ii) at the option of the Holder, either (y) the VWAP on the Trading Day immediately preceding the date of the applicable Notice of Exercise or (z) the Bid Price of the Warrant Shares on the principal Trading Market as reported by Bloomberg L.P. as of the time of the Holder’s execution of the applicable Notice of Exercise if such Notice of Exercise is executed during “regular trading hours” on a Trading Day and is delivered within two (2) hours thereafter (including until two (2) hours after the close of “regular trading hours” on a Trading Day) pursuant to Section 2(a) hereof or (iii) the VWAP on the date of the applicable Notice of Exercise if the date of such Notice of Exercise is a Trading Day and such Notice of Exercise is both executed and delivered pursuant to Section 2(a) hereof after the close of “regular trading hours” on such Trading Day (such applicable price for (a), the “Trading Price”); | |
| (B) | = | the Exercise Price of this Warrant, as adjusted hereunder; and | |
| (X) | = | the number of Warrant Shares that would be issuable upon exercise of this Warrant in accordance with the terms of this Warrant if such exercise were by means of a cash exercise rather than a cashless exercise. |
If Warrant Shares are issued in such a cashless exercise, the parties acknowledge and agree that in accordance with Section 3(a)(9) of the Securities Act, the Warrant Shares shall take on the characteristics of the Warrants being exercised and the holding period of the Warrants being exercised may be tacked on to the holding period of the Warrant Shares. The Company agrees not to take any position contrary to this Section 2(c).
“Bid Price” means, for any date, the price determined by the first of the following clauses that applies: (a) if the Warrant Shares are then listed or quoted on a Trading Market, the bid price of the Warrant Shares for the time in question (or the nearest preceding date) on the Trading Market on which the Warrant Shares then listed or quoted as reported by Bloomberg L.P. (based on a Trading Day from 9:30 a.m. (New York City time) to 4:02 p.m. (New York City time)), (b) if the Warrant Shares are traded on OTCQB or OTCQX, the volume weighted average sales price of the Warrant Shares for such date (or the nearest preceding date) on OTCQB or OTCQX as applicable, (c) if the Warrant Shares are not then listed or quoted for trading on OTCQB or OTCQX and if prices for the Warrant Shares are then reported in the “Pink Sheets” published by OTC Markets Group, Inc. (or a similar organization or agency succeeding to its functions of reporting prices), the most recent bid price per Firm Share so reported, or (d) in all other cases, the fair market value of an Firm Share as determined by an independent appraiser selected in good faith by the Holder and reasonably acceptable to the Company, the fees and expenses of which shall be paid by the Company.
“VWAP” means, for any date, the price determined by the first of the following clauses that applies: (a) if the Warrant Shares are then listed or quoted on a Trading Market, the daily volume weighted average price of the Warrant Shares for such date (or the nearest preceding date) on the Trading Market on which the Warrant Shares are then listed or quoted as reported by Bloomberg L.P. (based on a Trading Day from 9:30 a.m. (New York City time) to 4:02 p.m. (New York City time)), (b) if the Warrant Shares are traded on OTCQB or OTCQX , the volume weighted average sales price of the Warrant Shares for such date (or the nearest preceding date) on OTCQB or OTCQX as applicable, (c) if the Warrant Shares are not then listed or quoted for trading on OTCQB or OTCQX and if prices for the Warrant Shares are then reported in the “Pink Sheets” published by OTC Markets Group, Inc. (or a similar organization or agency succeeding to its functions of reporting prices), the most recent bid price per Firm Share so reported, or (d) in all other cases, the fair market value of a Firm Share as determined by an independent appraiser selected in good faith by the Holder and reasonably acceptable to the Company, the fees and expenses of which shall be paid by the Company.
Provided that the Trading Price is equal to or greater than the Exercise Price, on the Termination Date, this Warrant shall be automatically exercised via cashless exercise pursuant to this Section 2(c).
d) Mechanics of Exercise.
i. Delivery of Warrant Shares Upon Exercise. The Company shall cause the Warrant Shares purchased hereunder to be transmitted by the Transfer Agent to the Holder either by (A) crediting the account of the Holder’s or its designee’s balance account with The Depository Trust Company through its Deposit or Withdrawal at Custodian system (“DWAC”) if the Company is then a participant in such system and there is an effective registration statement permitting the issuance of the Warrant Shares to or resale of the Warrant Shares by Holder, or (B) if there is no effective registration statement and the Warrant is exercised via cashless exercise at a time when such Warrant Shares would be eligible for resale under Rule 144 by a non-affiliate of the Company, such Warrant Shares are delivered to Holder’s broker, and the Company receives a statement from Holder’s broker that it has received instructions to sell the Warrant Shares or that it would take responsibility that the sales of the Warrant Shares will only be made if the Warrant Shares are eligible to be sold under Rule 144, and otherwise by physical delivery of a certificate, registered in the Company’s share register in the name of the Holder or its designee, for the number of Warrant Shares to which the Holder is entitled pursuant to such exercise to the address specified by the Holder in the Notice of Exercise by the date that is the earliest of (i) two (2) Trading Days after the delivery to the Company of the Notice of Exercise, (ii) one (1) Trading Day after delivery of the aggregate Exercise Price to the Company and (iii) the number of Trading Days comprising the Standard Settlement Period after the delivery to the Company of the Notice of Exercise (such date, the “Warrant Share Delivery Date”). Upon delivery of the Notice of Exercise, the Holder shall be deemed for all corporate purposes to have become the holder of record of the Warrant Shares with respect to which this Warrant has been exercised, irrespective of the date of delivery of the Warrant Shares, provided that payment of the aggregate Exercise Price (other than in the case of a cashless exercise) is received within the earlier of (i) two (2) Trading Days and (ii) the number of Trading Days comprising the Standard Settlement Period following delivery of the Notice of Exercise. If the Company fails for any reason to deliver to the Holder the Warrant Shares subject to a Notice of Exercise by the Warrant Share Delivery Date, the Company shall pay to the Holder, in cash, as liquidated damages and not as a penalty, for each $1,000 of Warrant Shares subject to such exercise (based on the VWAP of the Warrant Shares on the date of the applicable Notice of Exercise), $10 per Trading Day (increasing to $20 per Trading Day on the fifth Trading Day after such liquidated damages begin to accrue) for each Trading Day after such Warrant Share Delivery Date until such Warrant Shares are delivered or Holder rescinds such exercise. The Company agrees to use commercially reasonable efforts to maintain a transfer agent that is a participant in the FAST program so long as this Warrant remains outstanding and exercisable. As used herein, “Standard Settlement Period” means the standard settlement period, expressed in a number of Trading Days, on the Company’s primary Trading Market with respect to the Warrant Shares as in effect on the date of delivery of the Notice of Exercise.
ii. Delivery of New Warrants Upon Exercise. If this Warrant shall have been exercised in part, the Company shall, at the request of a Holder and upon surrender of this Warrant certificate, at the time of delivery of the Warrant Shares, deliver to the Holder a new Warrant evidencing the rights of the Holder to purchase the unpurchased Warrant Shares called for by this Warrant, which new Warrant shall in all other respects be identical with this Warrant.
iii. Rescission Rights. If the Company fails to cause the Transfer Agent to transmit to the Holder the Warrant Shares pursuant to Section 2(d)(i) by the Warrant Share Delivery Date, then the Holder will have the right to rescind such exercise.
iv. Compensation for Buy-In on Failure to Timely Deliver Warrant Shares Upon Exercise. In addition to any other rights available to the Holder, if the Company fails to cause the Transfer Agent to transmit to the Holder the Warrant Shares in accordance with the provisions of Section 2(d)(i) above pursuant to an exercise on or before the Warrant Share Delivery Date, and if after such date the Holder is required by its broker to purchase (in an open market transaction or otherwise) or the Holder’s brokerage firm otherwise purchases, Warrant Shares to deliver in satisfaction of a sale by the Holder of the Warrant Shares which the Holder anticipated receiving upon such exercise (a “Buy-In”), then the Company shall (A) pay in cash to the Holder the amount, if any, by which (x) the Holder’s total purchase price (including brokerage commissions, if any) for the Warrant Shares so purchased exceeds (y) the amount obtained by multiplying (1) the number of Warrant Shares that the Company was required to deliver to the Holder in connection with the exercise at issue times (2) the price at which the sell order giving rise to such purchase obligation was executed, and (B) at the option of the Holder, either reinstate the portion of the Warrant and equivalent number of Warrant Shares for which such exercise was not honored (in which case such exercise shall be deemed rescinded) or deliver to the Holder the number of Warrant Shares that would have been issued had the Company timely complied with its exercise and delivery obligations hereunder. For example, if the Holder purchases Warrant Shares having a total purchase price of $11,000 to cover a Buy-In with respect to an attempted exercise of Warrant Shares with an aggregate sale price giving rise to such purchase obligation of $10,000, under clause (A) of the immediately preceding sentence the Company shall be required to pay the Holder $1,000. The Holder shall provide the Company written notice indicating the amounts payable to the Holder in respect of the Buy-In and, upon request of the Company, evidence of the amount of such loss. Nothing herein shall limit a Holder’s right to pursue any other remedies available to it hereunder, at law or in equity including, without limitation, a decree of specific performance and/or injunctive relief with respect to the Company’s failure to timely deliver Warrant Shares upon exercise of the Warrant as required pursuant to the terms hereof.
v. No Fractional Shares or Scrip. No fractional shares or scrip representing fractional shares shall be issued upon the exercise of this Warrant. As to any fraction of a share which the Holder would otherwise be entitled to purchase upon such exercise, the Company shall, at its election, either pay a cash adjustment in respect of such final fraction in an amount equal to such fraction multiplied by the Exercise Price or round up to the next whole share.
vi. Charges, Taxes and Expenses. Issuance of Warrant Shares shall be made without charge to the Holder for any issue or transfer tax or other incidental expense in respect of the issuance of such Warrant Shares, all of which transfer taxes and expenses shall be paid by the Company, and such Warrant Shares shall be issued in the name of the Holder or in such name or names as may be directed by the Holder; provided, however, that in the event that Warrant Shares are to be issued in a name other than the name of the Holder, this Warrant when surrendered for exercise shall be accompanied by the Assignment Form attached hereto duly executed by the Holder and the Company may require, as a condition thereto, the payment of a sum sufficient to reimburse it for any transfer tax incidental thereto. The Company shall pay all Transfer Agent fees required for same-day processing of any Notice of Exercise and all fees to the Depository Trust Company (or another established clearing corporation performing similar functions) required for same-day electronic delivery of the Warrant Shares.
vii. Closing of Books. The Company will not close its stockholder books or records in any manner which prevents the timely exercise of this Warrant, pursuant to the terms hereof.
e) 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 (such Persons, “Attribution Parties”)), would beneficially own in excess of the Beneficial Ownership Limitation (as defined below). For purposes of the foregoing sentence, the number of Warrant Shares beneficially owned by the Holder and its Affiliates and Attribution Parties shall include the number of Warrant Shares issuable upon exercise of this Warrant with respect to which such determination is being made, but shall exclude the number of Warrant Shares which would be issuable upon (i) exercise of the remaining, non-exercised portion of this Warrant beneficially owned by the Holder or any of its Affiliates or Attribution Parties and (ii) exercise or conversion of the unexercised or non-converted portion of any other securities of the Company (including, without limitation, any other Firm Share 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 or Attribution Parties. 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 Attribution Parties) 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 Attribution Parties) 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 Warrant Shares, a Holder may rely on the number of outstanding Warrant Shares 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 Warrant Shares outstanding. Upon the written or oral request of a Holder, the Company shall within one Trading Day confirm orally and in writing to the Holder the number of Warrant Shares then outstanding. In any case, the number of outstanding Warrant Shares 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 or Attribution Parties since the date as of which such number of outstanding Warrant Shares was reported. The “Beneficial Ownership Limitation” shall be 4.99% of the number of Warrant Shares outstanding immediately after giving effect to the issuance of Warrant Shares issuable upon exercise of this Warrant. The Holder, upon notice to the Company, may increase or decrease the Beneficial Ownership Limitation provisions of this Section 2(e), provided that the Beneficial Ownership Limitation in no event exceeds 9.99% of the number of Warrant Shares outstanding immediately after giving effect to the issuance of Warrant Shares upon exercise of this Warrant held by the Holder and the provisions of this Section 2(e) shall continue to apply. Any increase in the Beneficial Ownership Limitation will not be effective until the 61st day after such notice is delivered 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.
Section 3. Certain Adjustments.
a) Stock Dividends and Splits. If the Company, at any time while this Warrant is outstanding: (i) pays a stock dividend or otherwise makes a distribution or distributions on Warrant Shares or any other equity or equity equivalent securities payable in Warrant Shares (which, for avoidance of doubt, shall not include any Warrant Shares issued by the Company upon exercise of this Warrant), (ii) subdivides outstanding Warrant Shares into a larger number of shares, (iii) combines (including by way of reverse stock split) outstanding Warrant Shares into a smaller number of shares, or (iv) issues by reclassification of Warrant Shares, any shares of capital stock of the Company, then in each case the Exercise Price shall be multiplied by a fraction of which the numerator shall be the number of Warrant Shares (excluding treasury shares, if any) outstanding immediately before such event and of which the denominator shall be the number of Warrant Shares outstanding immediately after such event, and the number of shares issuable upon exercise of this Warrant shall be proportionately adjusted such that the aggregate Exercise Price of this Warrant shall remain unchanged. Any adjustment made pursuant to this Section 3(a) shall become effective immediately after the record date for the determination of stockholders entitled to receive such dividend or distribution and shall become effective immediately after the effective date in the case of a subdivision, combination or re-classification.
c) Subsequent Rights Offerings. In addition to any adjustments pursuant to Section 3(a) above, if at any time, the Company grants, issues or sells any Firm Share equivalents or rights to purchase stock, warrants, securities or other property pro rata to the record holders of any class of Warrant Shares (the “Purchase Rights”), then the Holder will be entitled to acquire, upon the terms applicable to such Purchase Rights, the aggregate Purchase Rights which the Holder could have acquired if the Holder had held the number of Warrant Shares acquirable upon complete exercise of this Warrant (without regard to any limitations on exercise hereof, including without limitation, the Beneficial Ownership Limitation) immediately before the date on which a record is taken for the grant, issuance or sale of such Purchase Rights, or, if no such record is taken, the date as of which the record holders of Warrant Shares are to be determined for the grant, issue or sale of such Purchase Rights (provided, however, to the extent that the Holder’s right to participate in any such Purchase Right would result in the Holder exceeding the Beneficial Ownership Limitation, then the Holder shall not be entitled to participate in such Purchase Right to such extent (or beneficial ownership of such Warrant Shares as a result of such Purchase Right to such extent) and such Purchase Right to such extent shall be held in abeyance for the Holder until such time, if ever, as its right thereto would not result in the Holder exceeding the Beneficial Ownership Limitation).
d) Pro Rata Distributions. During such time as this Warrant is outstanding, if the Company shall declare or make any dividend or other distribution of its assets (or rights to acquire its assets) to holders of Warrant Shares, by way of return of capital or otherwise, other than cash (including, without limitation, any distribution of stock or other securities, property or options by way of a dividend, spin off, reclassification, corporate rearrangement, scheme of arrangement or other similar transaction) (a “Distribution”), at any time after the issuance of this Warrant, then, in each such case, the Holder shall be entitled to participate in such Distribution to the same extent that the Holder would have participated therein if the Holder had held the number of Warrant Shares acquirable upon complete exercise of this Warrant (without regard to any limitations on exercise hereof, including without limitation, the Beneficial Ownership Limitation) immediately before the date of which a record is taken for such Distribution, or, if no such record is taken, the date as of which the record holders of Warrant Shares are to be determined for the participation in such Distribution (provided, however, to the extent that the Holder’s right to participate in any such Distribution would result in the Holder exceeding the Beneficial Ownership Limitation, then the Holder shall not be entitled to participate in such Distribution to such extent (or in the beneficial ownership of any Warrant Shares as a result of such Distribution to such extent) and the portion of such Distribution shall be held in abeyance for the benefit of the Holder until such time, if ever, as its right thereto would not result in the Holder exceeding the Beneficial Ownership Limitation).
e) Fundamental Transaction. If, at any time while this Warrant is outstanding, (i) the Company, directly or indirectly, in one or more related transactions effects any merger or consolidation of the Company with or into another Person (other than solely with respect to a name change of the Company), (ii) the Company, directly or indirectly, effects any sale, lease, license, assignment, transfer, conveyance or other disposition of all or substantially all of its assets in one or a series of related transactions, (iii) any, direct or indirect, purchase offer, tender offer or exchange offer (whether by the Company or another Person) is completed pursuant to which holders of Warrant Shares are permitted to sell, tender or exchange their shares for other securities, cash or property and has been accepted by the holders of 50% or more of the outstanding Warrant Shares, (iv) the Company, directly or indirectly, in one or more related transactions effects any reclassification, reorganization or recapitalization of the Warrant Shares or any compulsory share exchange pursuant to which the Warrant Shares are effectively converted into or exchanged for other securities, cash or property (other than a reclassification in which the Company’s shareholders remain the same), or (v) the Company, directly or indirectly, in one or more related transactions consummates a stock or share purchase agreement or other business combination (including, without limitation, a reorganization, recapitalization, spin-off or scheme of arrangement) with another Person or group of Persons whereby such other Person or group acquires more than 50% of the outstanding Warrant Shares (not including any Warrant Shares held by the other Person or other Persons making or party to, or associated or affiliated with the other Persons making or party to, such stock or share purchase agreement or other business combination) (each a “Fundamental Transaction”), then, upon any subsequent exercise of this Warrant, the Holder shall have the right to receive, for each Warrant Share that would have been issuable upon such exercise immediately prior to the occurrence of such Fundamental Transaction, at the option of the Holder (without regard to any limitation in Section 2(e) on the exercise of this Warrant), the number of Warrant Shares of the successor or acquiring corporation or of the Company, if it is the surviving corporation, and any additional consideration (the “Alternate Consideration”) receivable as a result of such Fundamental Transaction by a holder of the number of Warrant Shares for which this Warrant is exercisable immediately prior to such Fundamental Transaction (without regard to any limitation in Section 2(e) on the exercise of this Warrant). For purposes of any such exercise, the determination of the Exercise Price shall be appropriately adjusted to apply to such Alternate Consideration based on the amount of Alternate Consideration issuable in respect of one Firm Share in such Fundamental Transaction, and the Company shall apportion the Exercise Price among the Alternate Consideration in a reasonable manner reflecting the relative value of any different components of the Alternate Consideration. If holders of Warrant Shares are given any choice as to the securities, cash or property to be received in a Fundamental Transaction, then the Holder shall be given the same choice as to the Alternate Consideration it receives upon any exercise of this Warrant following such Fundamental Transaction. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary, in the event of a Fundamental Transaction, the Company or any Successor Entity (as defined below) shall, at the Holder’s option, exercisable at any time concurrently with, or within 30 days after, the consummation of the Fundamental Transaction (or, if later, the date of the public announcement of the applicable Fundamental Transaction), purchase this Warrant from the Holder by paying to the Holder an amount of cash equal to the Black Scholes Value of the remaining unexercised portion of this Warrant on the date of the consummation of such Fundamental Transaction; provided, however, if the Fundamental Transaction is not within the Company’s control, including not approved by the Company’s Board of Directors or the consideration is not in all stock of the Successor Entity, Holder shall only be entitled to receive from the Company or any Successor Entity, as of the date of consummation of such Fundamental Transaction, the same type or form of consideration (and in the same proportion), at the Black Scholes Value (as defined below) of the unexercised portion of this Warrant, that is being offered and paid to the holders of Warrant Shares of the Company in connection with the Fundamental Transaction, whether that consideration be in the form of cash, stock or any combination thereof, or whether the holders of Warrant Shares are given the choice to receive from among alternative forms of consideration in connection with the Fundamental Transaction. “Black Scholes Value” means the value of this Warrant based on the Black and Scholes Option Pricing Model obtained from the “OV” function on Bloomberg, L.P. (“Bloomberg”) determined as of the day of consummation of the applicable Fundamental Transaction for pricing purposes and reflecting (A) a risk-free interest rate corresponding to the U.S. Treasury rate as of the Trading Day immediately following the public announcement of the applicable Fundamental Transaction, (B) an expected volatility equal to the greater of 100% and the 100 day volatility obtained from the HVT function on Bloomberg as of the Trading Day immediately following the public announcement of the applicable Fundamental Transaction, (C) the underlying price per share used in such calculation shall be the greater of (i) the sum of the price per share being offered in cash, if any, plus the value of any non-cash consideration, if any, being offered in such Fundamental Transaction and (ii) the greater of (x) the last VWAP immediately prior to the public announcement of such Fundamental Transaction and (y) the last VWAP immediately prior to the consummation of such Fundamental Transaction and (D) a remaining option time equal to the time between the date of the public announcement of the applicable Fundamental Transaction and the Termination Date. The payment of the Black Scholes Value will be made by wire transfer of immediately available funds within five Business Days of the Holder’s election (or, if later, on the effective date of the Fundamental Transaction). The Company shall cause any successor entity in a Fundamental Transaction in which the Company is not the survivor (the “Successor Entity”) to assume in writing all of the obligations of the Company under this Warrant and the other Transaction Documents in accordance with the provisions of this Section 3(e) pursuant to written agreements in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to the Holder and approved by the Holder (without unreasonable delay) prior to such Fundamental Transaction and shall, at the option of the Holder, deliver to the Holder in exchange for this Warrant a security of the Successor Entity evidenced by a written instrument substantially similar in form and substance to this Warrant which is exercisable for a corresponding number of shares of capital stock of such Successor Entity (or its parent entity) equivalent to the Warrant Shares acquirable and receivable upon exercise of this Warrant (without regard to any limitations on the exercise of this Warrant) prior to such Fundamental Transaction, and with an exercise price which applies the exercise price hereunder to such shares of capital stock (but taking into account the relative value of the Warrant Shares pursuant to such Fundamental Transaction and the value of such shares of capital stock, such number of shares of capital stock and such exercise price being for the purpose of protecting the economic value of this Warrant immediately prior to the consummation of such Fundamental Transaction), and which is reasonably satisfactory in form and substance to the Holder. Upon the occurrence of any such Fundamental Transaction, the Successor Entity shall succeed to, and be substituted for (so that from and after the date of such Fundamental Transaction, the provisions of this Warrant and the other Transaction Documents referring to the “Company” shall refer instead to the Successor Entity), and may exercise every right and power of the Company and shall assume all of the obligations of the Company under this Warrant and the other Transaction Documents with the same effect as if such Successor Entity had been named as the Company herein.
f) Calculations. All calculations under this Section 3 shall be made to the nearest cent or the nearest 1/100th of a share, as the case may be. For purposes of this Section 3, the number of Warrant Shares deemed to be issued and outstanding as of a given date shall be the sum of the number of Warrant Shares (excluding treasury shares, if any) issued and outstanding.
g) Notice to Holder.
i. Adjustment to Exercise Price. Whenever the Exercise Price is adjusted pursuant to any provision of this Section 3, the Company shall promptly deliver to the Holder by facsimile or email a notice setting forth the Exercise Price after such adjustment and any resulting adjustment to the number of Warrant Shares and setting forth a brief statement of the facts requiring such adjustment.
ii. Notice to Allow Exercise by Holder. If (A) the Company shall declare a dividend (or any other distribution in whatever form) on the Warrant Shares, (B) the Company shall declare a special nonrecurring cash dividend on or a redemption of the Warrant Shares, (C) the Company shall authorize the granting to all holders of the Warrant Shares rights or warrants to subscribe for or purchase any shares of capital stock of any class or of any rights, (D) the approval of any stockholders of the Company shall be required in connection with any reclassification of the Warrant Shares, any consolidation or merger to which the Company is a party, any sale or transfer of all or substantially all of the assets of the Company, or any compulsory share exchange whereby the Warrant Shares are converted into other securities, cash or property, or (E) the Company shall authorize the voluntary or involuntary dissolution, liquidation or winding up of the affairs of the Company, then, in each case, the Company shall cause to be delivered by facsimile or email to the Holder at its last facsimile number or email address as it shall appear upon the Warrant Register of the Company, at least 20 calendar days prior to the applicable record or effective date hereinafter specified, a notice stating (x) the date on which a record is to be taken for the purpose of such dividend, distribution, redemption, rights or warrants, or if a record is not to be taken, the date as of which the holders of the Warrant Shares of record to be entitled to such dividend, distributions, redemption, rights or warrants are to be determined or (y) the date on which such reclassification, consolidation, merger, sale, transfer or share exchange is expected to become effective or close, and the date as of which it is expected that holders of the Warrant Shares of record shall be entitled to exchange their Warrant Shares for securities, cash or other property deliverable upon such reclassification, consolidation, merger, sale, transfer or share exchange; provided that the failure to deliver such notice or any defect therein or in the delivery thereof shall not affect the validity of the corporate action required to be specified in such notice. To the extent that any notice provided in this Warrant constitutes, or contains, material, non-public information regarding the Company or any of the Subsidiaries, the Company shall simultaneously file such notice with the Commission pursuant to a Current Report on Form 8-K. The Holder shall remain entitled to exercise this Warrant during the period commencing on the date of such notice to the effective date of the event triggering such notice except as may otherwise be expressly set forth herein.
Section 4. Transfer of Warrant.
a) Transferability. Pursuant to FINRA Rule 5110(e) and the Agreement, neither this Warrant nor any Warrant Shares issued upon exercise of this Warrant shall be sold, transferred, assigned, pledged or hypothecated, or be the subject of any hedging, short sale, derivative, put or call transaction that would result in the effective economic disposition of the securities by any person for a period of one-hundred eighty (180) day immediately following the date of effectiveness or commencement of sales of the offering pursuant to which this Warrant is being issued, except the transfer of any security:
(i) by operation of law or by reason of reorganization of the Company;
(ii) to any FINRA member firm participating in the offering and the officers and partners thereof, if all securities so transferred remain subject to the lock-up restriction in this Section 4(a) for the remainder of the time period;
(iii) if the aggregate amount of securities of the Company held by the Holder or related person do not exceed 1% of the securities being offered;
(iv) that is beneficially owned on a pro-rata basis by all equity owners of an investment fund, provided that no participating member manages or otherwise directs investments by the fund, and participating members in the aggregate do not own more than 10% of the equity in the fund; or
(v) the exercise or conversion of any security, if all securities received remain subject to the lock-up restriction in this Section 4(a) for the remainder of the time period.
Subject to the foregoing restrictions, compliance with any applicable securities laws, and the conditions set forth in Section 4(d) hereof, this Warrant and all rights hereunder (including, without limitation, any registration rights) are transferable, in whole or in part, upon surrender of this Warrant at the principal office of the Company or its designated agent, together with a written assignment of this Warrant substantially in the form attached hereto duly executed by the Holder or its agent or attorney and funds sufficient to pay any transfer taxes payable upon the making of such transfer. Upon such surrender and, if required, such payment, the Company shall execute and deliver a new Warrant or Warrants in the name of the assignee or assignees, as applicable, and in the denomination or denominations specified in such instrument of assignment, and shall issue to the assignor a new Warrant evidencing the portion of this Warrant not so assigned, and this Warrant shall promptly be cancelled. Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, the Holder shall not be required to physically surrender this Warrant to the Company unless the Holder has assigned this Warrant in full, in which case, the Holder shall surrender this Warrant to the Company within three (3) Trading Days of the date the Holder delivers an assignment form to the Company assigning this Warrant in full. The Warrant, if properly assigned in accordance herewith, may be exercised by a new holder for the purchase of Warrant Shares without having a new Warrant issued.
b) New Warrants. This Warrant may be divided or combined with other Warrants upon presentation hereof at the aforesaid office of the Company, together with a written notice specifying the names and denominations in which new Warrants are to be issued, signed by the Holder or its agent or attorney. Subject to compliance with Section 4(a), as to any transfer which may be involved in such division or combination, the Company shall execute and deliver a new Warrant or Warrants in exchange for the Warrant or Warrants to be divided or combined in accordance with such notice. All Warrants issued on transfers or exchanges shall be dated the Original Issuance Date of this Warrant and shall be identical with this Warrant except as to the number of Warrant Shares issuable pursuant thereto.
c) Warrant Register. The Company shall register this Warrant, upon records to be maintained by the Company for that purpose (the “Warrant Register”), in the name of the record Holder hereof from time to time. The Company may deem and treat the registered Holder of this Warrant as the absolute owner hereof for the purpose of any exercise hereof or any distribution to the Holder, and for all other purposes, absent actual notice to the contrary.
d) Representation by the Holder. The Holder, by the acceptance hereof, represents and warrants that it is acquiring this Warrant and, upon any exercise hereof, will acquire the Warrant Shares issuable upon such exercise, for its own account and not with a view to or for distributing or reselling such Warrant or Warrant Shares or any part thereof in violation of the Securities Act or any applicable state securities law, except pursuant to sales registered or exempted under the Securities Act.
Section 5. General Terms. These additional terms shall relate to the Warrants registered pursuant to the Registration Statement:
i. Indemnification.
(w) The Company shall, to the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, indemnify the Holder(s) of the Warrants to be sold pursuant to the Registration Statement and each person, if any, who controls such Holders within the meaning of Section 15 of the Act or Section 20(a) of the Exchange Act against all loss, claim, damage, expense or liability (including all reasonable attorneys’ fees and other expenses reasonably incurred in investigating, preparing or defending against litigation, commenced or threatened, or any claim whatsoever whether arising out of any action between the underwriter and the Company or between the underwriter and any third party or otherwise) to which any of them may become subject under the Act, the Exchange Act or otherwise, arising from such registration statement; provided, however, that, with respect to any Holder of Warrants, this indemnity shall not apply to any loss, liability, claim, damage or expense to the extent arising out of an untrue statement or omission or alleged untrue statement or omission made in reliance upon and in conformity with written information furnished to the Company by such Holder expressly for use in the Registration Statement (or any amendment thereto), or any preliminary prospectus or the prospectus (or any amendment or supplement thereto).
(x) The Holder(s) of the Warrants to be sold pursuant to the Registration Statement, and their successors and assigns, shall severally, and not jointly, indemnify the Company, its officers and directors and each person, if any, who controls the Company within the meaning of Section 15 of the Act or Section 20(a) of the Exchange Act, against all loss, claim, damage, expense or liability (including all reasonable attorneys’ fees and other expenses reasonably incurred in investigating, preparing or defending against any claim whatsoever) to which they may become subject under the Act, the Exchange Act or otherwise, arising from information furnished by or on behalf of such Holders, or their successors or assigns, in writing, for specific inclusion in the Registration Statement(or any amendment thereto), or any preliminary prospectus or the prospectus (or any amendment or supplement thereto).
(y) Each indemnified party shall give prompt notice to each indemnifying party of any action commenced against it in respect of which indemnity may be sought hereunder, but failure to so notify an indemnifying party shall not relieve the indemnifying party from any liability it may have under this Agreement, except to the extent that the indemnifying party is prejudiced thereby. If it so elects, after receipt of such notice, an indemnifying party, jointly with any other indemnifying parties receiving such notice, may assume the defense of such action with counsel chosen by it; provided, however, that the indemnified party shall be entitled to participate in (but not control) the defense of such action with counsel chosen by it, the reasonable fees and expenses of which shall be paid by such indemnified party, unless a conflict would arise if one counsel were to represent both the indemnified party and the indemnifying party, in which case the reasonable fees and expenses of counsel to the indemnified party shall be paid by the indemnifying party or parties. In no event shall the indemnifying party or parties be liable for a settlement of an action with respect to which they have assumed the defense if such settlement is effected without the written consent of such indemnifying party, or for the reasonable fees and expenses of more than one counsel for (i) the Company, its officers, directors and controlling persons as a group, and (ii) the selling Holders and their controlling persons as a group, in each case, in connection with any one action or separate but similar or related actions in the same jurisdiction arising out of the same general allegations or circumstances; provided, however, that if, in the reasonable judgment of an indemnified party, a conflict of interest may exist between such indemnified party and the Company or any other of such indemnified parties with respect to such claim, the indemnifying party shall be obligated to pay the reasonable fees and expenses of such additional counsel.
(z) If the indemnification provided for in or pursuant to Section 5(b)(i) is due in accordance with the terms hereof, but held by a court of competent jurisdiction to be unavailable or unenforceable in respect of any losses, claims, damages, liabilities or expenses referred to therein, then each applicable indemnifying party, in lieu of indemnifying such indemnified party, shall contribute to the amount paid or payable by such indemnified party as a result of such losses, claims, damages, liabilities or expenses in such proportion as is appropriate to reflect the relative fault of the indemnifying party on the one hand and of the indemnified party on the other in connection with the statements or omissions which result in such losses, claims, damages, liabilities or expenses as well as any other relevant equitable considerations. The relative fault of the indemnifying party on the one hand and of the indemnified party on the other shall be determined by reference to, among other things, whether the untrue or alleged untrue statement of a material fact or the omission or alleged omission to state a material fact relates to information supplied by the indemnifying party or by the indemnified party, and by such party’s relative intent, knowledge, access to information and opportunity to correct or prevent such statement or omission.
ii. [Intentionally Omitted]
iii. Supplemental Prospectus. Each Holder agrees, that upon receipt of any notice from the Company of the happening of any event as a result of which the prospectus included in the Registration Statement, as then in effect, includes an untrue statement of a material fact or omits to state a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein not misleading in light of the circumstances then existing, such Holder will immediately discontinue disposition of Warrants pursuant to the Registration Statement covering such Warrants until such Holder’s receipt of the copies of a supplemental or amended prospectus, and, if so desired by the Company, such Holder shall deliver to the Company (at the expense of the Company) or destroy (and deliver to the Company a certificate of such destruction) all copies, other than permanent file copies then in such Holder’s possession, of the prospectus covering such Warrants current at the time of receipt of such notice. Immediately after discovering of such an event which causes the prospectus included in the Registration Statement, as then in effect, includes an untrue statement of a material fact or omits to state a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein not misleading in light of the circumstances then existing, the Company shall prepare and file, as soon as practicable, a supplement or amendment to the prospectus so that such Registration Statement does not include any untrue statement of a material fact or omits to state a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein not misleading in light of the circumstances then existing and distribute such supplement or amendment to each Holder.
Section 6. Miscellaneous.
a) No Rights as Stockholder Until Exercise. This Warrant does not entitle the Holder to any voting rights, dividends or other rights as a stockholder of the Company prior to the exercise hereof as set forth in Section 2(d)(i), except as expressly set forth in Section 3.
b) Loss, Theft, Destruction or Mutilation of Warrant. The Company covenants that upon receipt by the Company of evidence reasonably satisfactory to it of the loss, theft, destruction or mutilation of this Warrant or any stock certificate relating to the Warrant Shares, and in case of loss, theft or destruction, of indemnity or security reasonably satisfactory to it (which, in the case of the Warrant, shall not include the posting of any bond), and upon surrender and cancellation of such Warrant or stock certificate, if mutilated, the Company will make and deliver a new Warrant or stock certificate of like tenor and dated as of such cancellation, in lieu of such Warrant or stock certificate.
c) Saturdays, Sundays, Holidays, etc. If the last or appointed day for the taking of any action or the expiration of any right required or granted herein shall not be a Business Day, then, such action may be taken or such right may be exercised on the next succeeding Business Day.
d) Authorized Shares.
The Company covenants that, during the period the Warrant is outstanding, it will reserve from its authorized and unissued Warrant Shares a sufficient number of shares to provide for the issuance of the Warrant Shares upon the exercise of any purchase rights under this Warrant. The Company further covenants that its issuance of this Warrant shall constitute full authority to its officers who are charged with the duty of issuing the necessary Warrant Shares upon the exercise of the purchase rights under this Warrant. The Company will take all such reasonable action as may be necessary to assure that such Warrant Shares may be issued as provided herein without violation of any applicable law or regulation, or of any requirements of the Trading Market upon which the Warrant Shares may be listed. The Company covenants that all Warrant Shares which may be issued upon the exercise of the purchase rights represented by this Warrant will, upon exercise of the purchase rights represented by this Warrant and payment for such Warrant Shares in accordance herewith, be duly authorized, validly issued, fully paid and non-assessable and free from all taxes, liens and charges created by the Company in respect of the issue thereof (other than taxes in respect of any transfer occurring contemporaneously with such issue).
Except and to the extent as waived or consented to by the Holder, the Company shall not by any action, including, without limitation, amending its certificate of incorporation or through any reorganization, transfer of assets, consolidation, merger, dissolution, issue or sale of securities or any other voluntary action, avoid or seek to avoid the observance or performance of any of the terms of this Warrant, but will at all times in good faith assist in the carrying out of all such terms and in the taking of all such actions as may be necessary or appropriate to protect the rights of Holder as set forth in this Warrant against impairment. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the Company will (i) not increase the par value of any Warrant Shares above the amount payable therefor upon such exercise immediately prior to such increase in par value, (ii) take all such action as may be necessary or appropriate in order that the Company may validly and legally issue fully paid and non-assessable Warrant Shares upon the exercise of this Warrant and (iii) use commercially reasonable efforts to obtain all such authorizations, exemptions or consents from any public regulatory body having jurisdiction thereof, as may be, necessary to enable the Company to perform its obligations under this Warrant.
Before taking any action which would result in an adjustment in the number of Warrant Shares for which this Warrant is exercisable or in the Exercise Price, the Company shall obtain all such authorizations or exemptions thereof, or consents thereto, as may be necessary from any public regulatory body or bodies having jurisdiction thereof.
e) Jurisdiction. All questions concerning the construction, validity, enforcement and interpretation of this Warrant shall be determined in accordance with the provisions of the Agreement.
f) Restrictions. The Holder acknowledges that the Warrant Shares acquired upon the exercise of this Warrant, if not registered, and the Holder does not utilize cashless exercise, will have restrictions upon resale imposed by state and federal securities laws.
g) Non-waiver and Expenses. No course of dealing or any delay or failure to exercise any right hereunder on the part of Holder shall operate as a waiver of such right or otherwise prejudice the Holder’s rights, powers or remedies. Without limiting any other provision of this Warrant or the Agreement, if the Company willfully and knowingly fails to comply with any provision of this Warrant, which results in any material damages to the Holder, the Company shall pay to the Holder such amounts as shall be sufficient to cover any costs and expenses including, but not limited to, reasonable attorneys’ fees, including those of appellate proceedings, incurred by the Holder in collecting any amounts due pursuant hereto or in otherwise enforcing any of its rights, powers or remedies hereunder.
h) Notices. Any notice, request or other document required or permitted to be given or delivered to the Holder by the Company shall be delivered in accordance with the notice provisions of the Agreement.
i) Limitation of Liability. No provision hereof, in the absence of any affirmative action by the Holder to exercise this Warrant to purchase Warrant Shares, and no enumeration herein of the rights or privileges of the Holder, shall give rise to any liability of the Holder for the purchase price of any Warrant Shares or as a stockholder of the Company, whether such liability is asserted by the Company or by creditors of the Company.
j) Remedies. The Holder, in addition to being entitled to exercise all rights granted by law, including recovery of damages, will be entitled to specific performance of its rights under this Warrant. The Company agrees that monetary damages would not be adequate compensation for any loss incurred by reason of a breach by it of the provisions of this Warrant and hereby agrees to waive and not to assert the defense in any action for specific performance that a remedy at law would be adequate.
k) Successors and Assigns. Subject to applicable securities laws, this Warrant and the rights and obligations evidenced hereby shall inure to the benefit of and be binding upon the successors and permitted assigns of the Company and the successors and permitted assigns of Holder. The provisions of this Warrant are intended to be for the benefit of any Holder from time to time of this Warrant and shall be enforceable by the Holder or holder of Warrant Shares.
l) Amendment. This Warrant may be modified or amended or the provisions hereof waived with the written consent of the Company and the Holder.
m) Severability. Wherever possible, each provision of this Warrant shall be interpreted in such manner as to be effective and valid under applicable law, but if any provision of this Warrant shall be prohibited by or invalid under applicable law, such provision shall be ineffective to the extent of such prohibition or invalidity, without invalidating the remainder of such provisions or the remaining provisions of this Warrant.
n) Headings. The headings used in this Warrant are for the convenience of reference only and shall not, for any purpose, be deemed a part of this Warrant.

This Note may not be prepaid in whole or in part except as otherwise explicitly set forth herein. Any amount of principal or interest on this Note which is not paid when due shall bear interest at the rate of twenty two percent (22%) per annum from the due date thereof until the same is paid (“Default Interest”). All payments due hereunder (to the extent not converted into common stock, $0.0001 par value per share (the “Common Stock”) in accordance with the terms hereof) shall be made in lawful money of the United States of America. All payments shall be made at such address as the Holder shall hereafter give to the Borrower by written notice made in accordance with the provisions of this Note. Each capitalized term used herein, and not otherwise defined, shall have the meaning ascribed thereto in that certain Securities Purchase Agreement dated the date hereof, pursuant to which this Note was originally issued (the “Purchase Agreement”).
This Note is free from all taxes, liens, claims and encumbrances with respect to the issue thereof and shall not be subject to preemptive rights or other similar rights of shareholders of the Borrower and will not impose personal liability upon the holder thereof.
The following terms shall apply to this Note:
ARTICLE I. GENERAL TERMS
1.1 Interest. A one-time interest charge of twelve percent (12%) (the “Interest Rate”) shall be applied on the Issuance Date to the Principal ($116,000.00 * twelve percent (12%) = $13,920.00). Interest hereunder shall be paid as set forth herein to the Holder or its assignee in whose name this Note is registered on the records of the Company regarding registration and transfers of Notes in cash or, in the Event of Default, at the Option of the Holder, converted into share of Common Stock as set forth herein.

On the date fixed for prepayment (the “Optional Prepayment Date”), the Borrower shall make payment of the Optional Prepayment Amount (as defined below) to Holder, or upon the direction of the Holder as specified by the Holder in a writing to the Borrower (which shall direction to be sent to Borrower by the Holder at least one (1) business day prior to the Optional Prepayment Date).

So long as the Borrower shall have any obligation under this Note, the Borrower shall not, without the Holder’s written consent, sell, lease or otherwise dispose of any significant portion of its assets outside the ordinary course of business. Any consent to the disposition of any assets may be conditioned on a specified use of the proceeds of disposition.
ARTICLE III. EVENTS OF DEFAULT
If any of the following events of default (each, an “Event of Default”) shall occur:
3.1 Failure to Pay Principal and Interest. The Borrower fails to pay the principal hereof or interest thereon when due on this Note, whether at maturity, upon acceleration or otherwise and such breach continues for a period of five (5) days after written notice from the Holder.
3.2 Conversion and the Shares. The Borrower fails to issue shares of Common Stock to the Holder (or announces or threatens in writing that it will not honor its obligation to do so) upon exercise by the Holder of the conversion rights of the Holder in accordance with the terms of this Note (following an Event of Default other than this Section 3.2), fails to transfer or cause its transfer agent to transfer (issue) (electronically or in certificated form) any certificate for shares of Common Stock issued to the Holder upon conversion of or otherwise pursuant to this Note as and when required by this Note, the Borrower directs its transfer agent not to transfer or delays, impairs, and/or hinders its transfer agent in transferring (or issuing) (electronically or in certificated form) any certificate for shares of Common Stock to be issued to the Holder upon conversion of or otherwise pursuant to this Note as and when required by this Note, or fails to remove (or directs its transfer agent not to remove or impairs, delays, and/or hinders its transfer agent from removing) any restrictive legend (or to withdraw any stop transfer instructions in respect thereof) on any certificate for any shares of Common Stock issued to the Holder upon conversion of or otherwise pursuant to this Note as and when required by this Note (or makes any written announcement, statement or threat that it does not intend to honor the obligations described in this paragraph) and any such failure shall continue uncured (or any written announcement, statement or threat not to honor its obligations shall not be rescinded in writing) for three (3) business days after the Holder shall have delivered a Notice of Conversion. It is an obligation of the Borrower to remain current in its obligations to its transfer agent. It shall be an event of default of this Note, if a conversion of this Note is delayed, hindered or frustrated due to a balance owed by the Borrower to its transfer agent. If at the option of the Holder, the Holder advances any funds to the Borrower’s transfer agent in order to process a conversion, such advanced funds shall be paid by the Borrower to the Holder within forty-eight (48) hours of a demand from the Holder.
3.3 Breach of Covenants. The Borrower breaches any material covenant or other material term or condition contained in this Note and any collateral documents including but not limited to the Purchase Agreement and such breach continues for a period of twenty (20) days after written notice thereof to the Borrower from the Holder.
3.4 Breach of Representations and Warranties. Any representation or warranty of the Borrower made herein or in any agreement, statement or certificate given in writing pursuant hereto or in connection herewith (including, without limitation, the Purchase Agreement), shall be false or misleading in any material respect when made and the breach of which has (or with the passage of time will have) a material adverse effect on the rights of the Holder with respect to this Note or the Purchase Agreement.
| 3 |
3.5 Receiver or Trustee. The Borrower or any subsidiary of the Borrower shall make an assignment for the benefit of creditors, or apply for or consent to the appointment of a receiver or trustee for it or for a substantial part of its property or business, or such a receiver or trustee shall otherwise be appointed.
3.6 Bankruptcy. Bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization or liquidation proceedings or other proceedings, voluntary or involuntary, for relief under any bankruptcy law or any law for the relief of debtors shall be instituted by or against the Borrower or any subsidiary of the Borrower.
3.7 Delisting of Common Stock. The Borrower shall fail to maintain the listing of the Common Stock on at least one of the OTC (which specifically includes the quotation platforms maintained by the OTC Markets Group) or an equivalent replacement exchange, the Nasdaq National Market, the Nasdaq SmallCap Market, the New York Stock Exchange, or the American Stock Exchange.
3.8 Failure to Comply with the Exchange Act. The Borrower shall fail to comply with the reporting requirements of the Exchange Act; and/or the Borrower shall cease to be subject to the reporting requirements of the Exchange Act.
3.9 Liquidation. Any dissolution, liquidation, or winding up of Borrower or any substantial portion of its business.
3.10 Cessation of Operations. Any cessation of operations by Borrower or Borrower admits it is otherwise generally unable to pay its debts as such debts become due, provided, however, that any disclosure of the Borrower’s ability to continue as a “going concern” shall not be an admission that the Borrower cannot pay its debts as they become due.
3.11 Financial Statement Restatement. The restatement of any financial statements filed by the Borrower with the SEC at any time after 180 days after the Issuance Date for any date or period until this Note is no longer outstanding, if the result of such restatement would, by comparison to the un- restated financial statement, have constituted a material adverse effect on the rights of the Holder with respect to this Note or the Purchase Agreement.
3.12 Replacement of Transfer Agent. In the event that the Borrower proposes to replace its transfer agent, the Borrower fails to provide, prior to the effective date of such replacement, a fully executed Irrevocable Transfer Agent Instructions in a form as initially delivered pursuant to the Purchase Agreement (including but not limited to the provision to irrevocably reserve shares of Common Stock in the Reserved Amount) signed by the successor transfer agent to Borrower and the Borrower.
| 4 |
3.13 Cross-Default. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Note or the other related or companion documents, a breach or default by the Borrower of any covenant or other term or condition contained in any of the Other Agreements, after the passage of all applicable notice and cure or grace periods, shall, at the option of the Holder, be considered a default under this Note and the Other Agreements, in which event the Holder shall be entitled (but in no event required) to apply all rights and remedies of the Holder under the terms of this Note and the Other Agreements by reason of a default under said Other Agreement or hereunder. “Other Agreements” means, collectively, all agreements and instruments between, among or by: (1) the Borrower, and, or for the benefit of, (2) the Holder and any affiliate of the Holder, including, without limitation, promissory notes; provided, however, the term “Other Agreements” shall not include the related or companion documents to this Note. Each of the loan transactions will be cross-defaulted with each other loan transaction and with all other existing and future debt of Borrower to the Holder. Furthermore, notwithstanding anything contained herein to the contrary or in any of the Other Agreements to the contrary, in the event of default of any Other Agreements and such Other Agreements are convertible into shares of Common Stock, Section 4.6 (d) Adjustment Due to Market Price hereof shall be applied to each such Other Agreement as if such section was included within such Other Agreement and the principal amount due with respect to such Other Agreement shall be adjusted accordingly .
Upon the occurrence and during the continuation of any Event of Default, the Note shall become immediately due and payable and the Borrower shall pay to the Holder, in full satisfaction of its obligations hereunder, an amount equal to 150% (“Default Percentage”) times the sum of (w) the then outstanding principal amount of this Note plus (x) accrued and unpaid interest on the unpaid principal amount of this Note to the date of payment (the “Mandatory Prepayment Date”) plus (y) Default Interest, if any, on the amounts referred to in clauses (w) and/or (x) plus (z) any amounts owed to the Holder pursuant to Article IV hereof (the then outstanding principal amount of this Note to the date of payment plus the amounts referred to in clauses (x), (y) and (z) shall collectively be known as the “Default Amount”) and all other amounts payable hereunder shall immediately become due and payable, all without demand, presentment or notice, all of which hereby are expressly waived, together with all costs, including, without limitation, legal fees and expenses, of collection, and the Holder shall be entitled to exercise all other rights and remedies available at law or in equity. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, in the event that following an Event of Default (other than Section 3.2), a default pursuant to Section 3.2 occurs, the Default Percentage shall be immediately adjusted to 200%.
If the Borrower fails to pay the Default Amount within five (5) business days of written notice that such amount is due and payable, then the Holder shall have the right at any time, to convert the balance owed pursuant to the note including the Default Amount into shares of common stock of the Company as set forth herein.
ARTICLE IV. CONVERSION RIGHTS
4.1 Conversion Right. After the occurrence of an Event of Default, at any time, the Holder shall have the right, to convert all or any part of the outstanding and unpaid amount of this Note into fully paid and non-assessable shares of Common Stock, as such Common Stock exists on the Issue Date, or any shares of capital stock or other securities of the Borrower into which such Common Stock shall hereafter be changed or reclassified at the conversion price determined as provided herein (a “Conversion”); provided, however, that in no event shall the Holder be entitled to convert any portion of this Note in excess of that portion of this Note upon conversion of which the sum of (1) the number of shares of Common Stock beneficially owned by the Holder and its affiliates (other than shares of Common Stock which may be deemed beneficially owned through the ownership of the unconverted portion of the Notes or the unexercised or unconverted portion of any other security of the Borrower subject to a limitation on conversion or exercise analogous to the limitations contained herein) and (2) the number of shares of Common Stock issuable upon the conversion of the portion of this Note with respect to which the determination of this proviso is being made, would result in beneficial ownership by the Holder and its affiliates of more than 4.99% of the outstanding shares of Common Stock. For purposes of the proviso to the immediately preceding sentence, beneficial ownership shall be determined in accordance with Section 13(d) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”), and Regulations 13D-G thereunder, except as otherwise provided in clause (1) of such proviso. The beneficial ownership limitations on conversion as set forth in the section may NOT be waived by the Holder. The number of shares of Common Stock to be issued upon each conversion of this Note shall be determined by dividing the Conversion Amount (as defined below) by the applicable Conversion Price then in effect on the date specified in the notice of conversion, in the form attached hereto as Exhibit B(the “Notice of Conversion”), delivered to the Borrower by the Holder in accordance with Section 4.4 below; provided that the Notice of Conversion is submitted by facsimile or e-mail (or by other means resulting in, or reasonably expected to result in, notice) to the Borrower before 6:00 p.m., New York, New York time on such conversion date (the “Conversion Date”); however, if the Notice of Conversion is sent after 6:00pm, New York, New York time the Conversion Date shall be the next business day. The term “Conversion Amount” means, with respect to any conversion of this Note, the sum of (1) the principal amount of this Note to be converted in such conversion plus (2) at the Holder’s option, accrued and unpaid interest, if any, on such principal amount at the interest rates provided in this Note to the Conversion Date, plus (3) at the Holder’s option, Default Interest, if any, on the amounts referred to in the immediately preceding clauses (1) and/or (2) plus (4) at the Holder’s option, any amounts owed to the Holder pursuant to Sections 4.4 hereof.
| 5 |
4.2 Conversion Price. The conversion price (the “Conversion Price”) shall mean 65% multiplied by the lowest Trading Price for the Common Stock during the ten (10) Trading Days prior to the Conversion Date (subject to equitable adjustments by the Borrower relating to the Borrower’s securities or the securities of any subsidiary of the Borrower, combinations, recapitalization, reclassifications, extraordinary distributions and similar events). “Trading Price” means, for any security as of any date, the closing bid price on the or applicable exchange or trading market (the “Trading Market”) as reported by a reliable reporting service (“Reporting Service”) designated by the Holder (i.e. Bloomberg) or, if the Trading Market is not the principal trading market for such security, the closing bid price of such security on the principal securities exchange or trading market where such security is listed or traded or, if no closing bid price of such security is available in any of the foregoing manners, the average of the closing bid prices of any market makers for such security that are listed in the “pink sheets”. If the Trading Price cannot be calculated for such security on such date in the manner provided above, the Trading Price shall be the fair market value as mutually determined by the Borrower and the holders of a majority in interest of the Notes being converted for which the calculation of the Trading Price is required in order to determine the Conversion Price of such Notes. “Trading Day” shall mean any day on which the Common Stock is tradable for any period on the Trading Market, or on the principal securities exchange or other securities market on which the Common Stock is then being traded.
4.3 Authorized Shares. The Borrower covenants that during the period that the Note is outstanding, the Borrower will reserve from its authorized and unissued Common Stock a sufficient number of shares, free from preemptive rights, to provide for the issuance of Common Stock upon the full conversion of this Note issued pursuant to the Purchase Agreement. The Borrower is required at all times to have authorized and reserved four times the number of shares that is actually issuable upon full conversion of the Note (based on the Conversion Price of the Note in effect from time to time) (the “Reserved Amount”). The Reserved Amount shall be adjusted from time to time in accordance with the Borrower’s obligations hereunder and the reduction of the balance due to timely payments. The Borrower represents that upon issuance, such shares will be duly and validly issued, fully paid and non-assessable. In addition, if the Borrower shall issue any securities or make any change to its capital structure which would change the number of shares of Common Stock into which the Notes shall be convertible at the then current Conversion Price, the Borrower shall at the same time make proper provision so that thereafter there shall be a sufficient number of shares of Common Stock authorized and reserved, free from preemptive rights, for conversion of the outstanding Note. The Borrower (i) acknowledges that it has irrevocably instructed its transfer agent to issue certificates for the Common Stock issuable upon conversion of this Note, and (ii) agrees that its issuance of this Note shall constitute full authority to its officers and agents who are charged with the duty of executing stock certificates to execute and issue the necessary certificates for shares of Common Stock in accordance with the terms and conditions of this Note.
If, at any time the Borrower does not maintain the Reserved Amount it will be considered an Event of Default under this Note.
| 6 |
4.4 Method of Conversion.
(a) Mechanics of Conversion. As set forth in Section 4.1 hereof, at any time following an Event of Default, the balance due pursuant to this Note may be converted by the Holder in whole or in part at any time from time to time after the Issue Date, by (A) submitting to the Borrower a Notice of Conversion (by facsimile, e-mail or other reasonable means of communication dispatched on the Conversion Date prior to 6:00 p.m., New York, New York time) and (B) subject to Section 4.4(b), surrendering this Note at the principal office of the Borrower (upon payment in full of any amounts owed hereunder).
(b) Surrender of Note Upon Conversion. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary set forth herein, upon conversion of this Note in accordance with the terms hereof, the Holder shall not be required to physically surrender this Note to the Borrower unless the entire unpaid principal amount of this Note is so converted. The Holder and the Borrower shall maintain records showing the principal amount so converted and the dates of such conversions or shall use such other method, reasonably satisfactory to the Holder and the Borrower, so as not to require physical surrender of this Note upon each such conversion.
(c) Delivery of Common Stock Upon Conversion. Upon receipt by the Borrower from the Holder of a facsimile transmission or e-mail (or other reasonable means of communication) of a Notice of Conversion meeting the requirements for conversion as provided in this Section 4.4, the Borrower shall issue and deliver or cause to be issued and delivered to or upon the order of the Holder certificates for the Common Stock issuable upon such conversion within three (3) business days after such receipt (the “Deadline”) (and, solely in the case of conversion of the entire unpaid principal amount hereof, surrender of this Note) in accordance with the terms hereof and the Purchase Agreement. Upon receipt by the Borrower of a Notice of Conversion, the Holder shall be deemed to be the holder of record of the Common Stock issuable upon such conversion, the outstanding principal amount and the amount of accrued and unpaid interest on this Note shall be reduced to reflect such conversion, and, unless the Borrower defaults on its obligations hereunder, all rights with respect to the portion of this Note being so converted shall forthwith terminate except the right to receive the Common Stock or other securities, cash or other assets, as herein provided, on such conversion. If the Holder shall have given a Notice of Conversion as provided herein, the Borrower’s obligation to issue and deliver the certificates for Common Stock shall be absolute and unconditional, irrespective of the absence of any action by the Holder to enforce the same, any waiver or consent with respect to any provision thereof, the recovery of any judgment against any person or any action to enforce the same, any failure or delay in the enforcement of any other obligation of the Borrower to the holder of record, or any setoff, counterclaim, recoupment, limitation or termination, or any breach or alleged breach by the Holder of any obligation to the Borrower, and irrespective of any other circumstance which might otherwise limit such obligation of the Borrower to the Holder in connection with such conversion.
| 7 |
(d) Delivery of Common Stock by Electronic Transfer. In lieu of delivering physical certificates representing the Common Stock issuable upon conversion, provided the Borrower is participating in the Depository Trust Company (“DTC”) Fast Automated Securities Transfer (“FAST”) program, upon request of the Holder and its compliance with the provisions set forth herein, the Borrower shall use its best efforts to cause its transfer agent to electronically transmit the Common Stock issuable upon conversion to the Holder by crediting the account of Holder’s Prime Broker with DTC through its Deposit and Withdrawal at Custodian (“DWAC”) system.
(e) Failure to Deliver Common Stock Prior to Deadline. Without in any way limiting the Holder’s right to pursue other remedies, including actual damages and/or equitable relief, the parties agree that if delivery of the Common Stock issuable upon conversion of this Note is not delivered by the Deadline due to action and/or inaction of the Borrower, the Borrower shall pay to the Holder $2,000 per day in cash, for each day beyond the Deadline that the Borrower fails to deliver such Common Stock (the “Fail to Deliver Fee”); provided; however that the Fail to Deliver Fee shall not be due if the failure is a result of a third party (i.e., transfer agent; and not the result of any failure to pay such transfer agent) despite the best efforts of the Borrower to effect delivery of such Common Stock. Such cash amount shall be paid to Holder by the fifth day of the month following the month in which it has accrued or, at the option of the Holder (by written notice to the Borrower by the first day of the month following the month in which it has accrued), shall be added to the principal amount of this Note, in which event interest shall accrue thereon in accordance with the terms of this Note and such additional principal amount shall be convertible into Common Stock in accordance with the terms of this Note. The Borrower agrees that the right to convert is a valuable right to the Holder. The damages resulting from a failure, attempt to frustrate, interference with such conversion right are difficult if not impossible to qualify. Accordingly, the parties acknowledge that the liquidated damages provision contained in this Section 4.4(e) are justified.
4.5 Concerning the Shares. The shares of Common Stock issuable upon conversion of this Note may not be sold or transferred unless: (i) such shares are sold pursuant to an effective registration statement under the Act or (ii) the Borrower or its transfer agent shall have been furnished with an opinion of counsel (which opinion shall be in form, substance and scope customary for opinions of counsel in comparable transactions) to the effect that the shares to be sold or transferred may be sold or transferred pursuant to an exemption from such registration (such as Rule 144 or a successor rule) (“Rule 144”); or (iii) such shares are transferred to an “affiliate” (as defined in Rule 144) of the Borrower who agrees to sell or otherwise transfer the shares only in accordance with this Section 4.5 and who is an Accredited Investor (as defined in the Purchase Agreement).
Any restrictive legend on certificates representing shares of Common Stock issuable upon conversion of this Note shall be removed and the Borrower shall issue to the Holder a new certificate therefore free of any transfer legend if the Borrower or its transfer agent shall have received an opinion of counsel from Holder’s counsel, in form, substance and scope customary for opinions of counsel in comparable transactions, to the effect that (i) a public sale or transfer of such Common Stock may be made without registration under the Act, which opinion shall be accepted by the Company so that the sale or transfer is effected; or (ii) in the case of the Common Stock issuable upon conversion of this Note, such security is registered for sale by the Holder under an effective registration statement filed under the Act; or otherwise may be sold pursuant to an exemption from registration. In the event that the Company does not reasonably accept the opinion of counsel provided by the Holder with respect to the transfer of Securities pursuant to an exemption from registration (such as Rule 144), it will be considered an Event of Default pursuant to this Note.
| 8 |
4.6 Effect of Certain Events.
(a) Effect of Merger, Consolidation, Etc. At the option of the Holder, the sale, conveyance or disposition of all or substantially all of the assets of the Borrower, the effectuation by the Borrower of a transaction or series of related transactions in which more than 50% of the voting power of the Borrower is disposed of, or the consolidation, merger or other business combination of the Borrower with or into any other Person (as defined below) or Persons when the Borrower is not the survivor shall be deemed to be an Event of Default (as defined in Article III) pursuant to which the Borrower shall be required to pay to the Holder upon the consummation of and as a condition to such transaction an amount equal to the Default Amount (as defined in Article III). “Person” shall mean any individual, corporation, limited liability company, partnership, association, trust or other entity or organization.
(b) Adjustment Due to Merger, Consolidation, Etc. If, at any time when this Note is issued and outstanding and prior to conversion of all of the Note, there shall be any merger, consolidation, exchange of shares, recapitalization, reorganization, or other similar event, as a result of which shares of Common Stock of the Borrower shall be changed into the same or a different number of shares of another class or classes of stock or securities of the Borrower or another entity, or in case of any sale or conveyance of all or substantially all of the assets of the Borrower other than in connection with a plan of complete liquidation of the Borrower, then the Holder of this Note shall thereafter have the right to receive upon conversion of this Note, upon the basis and upon the terms and conditions specified herein and in lieu of the shares of Common Stock immediately theretofore issuable upon conversion, such stock, securities or assets which the Holder would have been entitled to receive in such transaction had this Note been converted in full immediately prior to such transaction (without regard to any limitations on conversion set forth herein), and in any such case appropriate provisions shall be made with respect to the rights and interests of the Holder of this Note to the end that the provisions hereof (including, without limitation, provisions for adjustment of the Conversion Price and of the number of shares issuable upon conversion of the Note) shall thereafter be applicable, as nearly as may be practicable in relation to any securities or assets thereafter deliverable upon the conversion hereof. The Borrower shall not affect any transaction described in this Section 4.6(b) unless (a) it first gives, to the extent practicable, ten (10) days prior written notice (but in any event at least five (5) days prior written notice) of the record date of the special meeting of shareholders to approve, or if there is no such record date, the consummation of, such merger, consolidation, exchange of shares, recapitalization, reorganization or other similar event or sale of assets (during which time the Holder shall be entitled to convert this Note) and (b) the resulting successor or acquiring entity (if not the Borrower) assumes by written instrument the obligations of this Note. The above provisions shall similarly apply to successive consolidations, mergers, sales, transfers or share exchanges.
(c) Adjustment Due to Distribution. If the Borrower shall declare or make any distribution of its assets (or rights to acquire its assets) to holders of Common Stock as a dividend, stock repurchase, by way of return of capital or otherwise (including any dividend or distribution to the Borrower’s shareholders in cash or shares (or rights to acquire shares) of capital stock of a subsidiary (i.e., a spin-off)) (a “Distribution”), then the Holder of this Note shall be entitled, upon any conversion of this Note after the date of record for determining shareholders entitled to such Distribution, to receive the amount of such assets which would have been payable to the Holder with respect to the shares of Common Stock issuable upon such conversion had such Holder been the holder of such shares of Common Stock on the record date for the determination of shareholders entitled to such Distribution.

All payments shall be made at such address as the Holder shall hereafter give to the Borrower by written notice made in accordance with the provisions of this Note.

It is an obligation of the Borrower to remain current in its obligations to its transfer agent. It shall be an event of default of this Note, if a conversion of this Note is delayed, hindered or frustrated due to a balance owed by the Borrower to its transfer agent. If at the option of the Holder, the Holder advances any funds to the Borrower’s transfer agent in order to process a conversion, such advanced funds shall be paid by the Borrower to the Holder within forty-eight (48) hours of a demand from the Holder.

Any representation or warranty of the Borrower made herein or in any agreement, statement or certificate given in writing pursuant hereto or in connection herewith (including, without limitation, the Purchase Agreement), shall be false or misleading in any material respect when made and the breach of which has (or with the passage of time will have) a material adverse effect on the rights of the Holder with respect to this Note or the Purchase Agreement.
| 3 |

3.10 Cessation of Operations. Any cessation of operations by Borrower or Borrower admits it is otherwise generally unable to pay its debts as such debts become due, provided, however, that any disclosure of the Borrower’s ability to continue as a “going concern” shall not be an admission that the Borrower cannot pay its debts as they become due.
3.11 Financial Statement Restatement. The restatement of any financial statements filed by the Borrower with the SEC at any time after 180 days after the Issuance Date for any date or period until this Note is no longer outstanding, if the result of such restatement would, by comparison to the un-restated financial statement, have constituted a material adverse effect on the rights of the Holder with respect to this Note or the Purchase Agreement.
3.12 Replacement of Transfer Agent. In the event that the Borrower proposes to replace its transfer agent, the Borrower fails to provide, prior to the effective date of such replacement, a fully executed Irrevocable Transfer Agent Instructions in a form as initially delivered pursuant to the Purchase Agreement (including but not limited to the provision to irrevocably reserve shares of Common Stock in the Reserved Amount) signed by the successor transfer agent to Borrower and the Borrower.
3.13 Cross-Default. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Note or the other related or companion documents, a breach or default by the Borrower of any covenant or other term or condition contained in any of the Other Agreements, after the passage of all applicable notice and cure or grace periods, shall, at the option of the Holder, be considered a default under this Note and the Other Agreements, in which event the Holder shall be entitled (but in no event required) to apply all rights and remedies of the Holder under the terms of this Note and the Other Agreements by reason of a default under said Other Agreement or hereunder. “Other Agreements” means, collectively, all agreements and instruments between, among or by: (1) the Borrower, and, or for the benefit of, (2) the Holder and any affiliate of the Holder, including, without limitation, promissory notes; provided, however, the term “Other Agreements” shall not include the related or companion documents to this Note. Each of the loan transactions will be cross-defaulted with each other loan transaction and with all other existing and future debt of Borrower to the Holder. Furthermore, notwithstanding anything contained herein to the contrary or in any of the Other Agreements to the contrary, in the event of default of any Other Agreements and such Other Agreements are convertible into shares of Common Stock, Section 4.6 (d) Adjustment Due to Market Price hereof shall be applied to each such Other Agreement as if such section was included within such Other Agreement and the principal amount due with respect to such Other Agreement shall be adjusted accordingly .
| 4 |
Upon the occurrence and during the continuation of any Event of Default, the Note shall become immediately due and payable and the Borrower shall pay to the Holder, in full satisfaction of its obligations hereunder, an amount equal to 150% (“Default Percentage”) times the sum of (w) the then outstanding principal amount of this Note plus (x) accrued and unpaid interest on the unpaid principal amount of this Note to the date of payment (the “Mandatory Prepayment Date”) plus (y) Default Interest, if any, on the amounts referred to in clauses (w) and/or (x) plus (z) any amounts owed to the Holder pursuant to Article IV hereof (the then outstanding principal amount of this Note to the date of payment plus the amounts referred to in clauses (x), (y) and (z) shall collectively be known as the “Default Amount”) and all other amounts payable hereunder shall immediately become due and payable, all without demand, presentment or notice, all of which hereby are expressly waived, together with all costs, including, without limitation, legal fees and expenses, of collection, and the Holder shall be entitled to exercise all other rights and remedies available at law or in equity. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, in the event that following an Event of Default (other than Section 3.2), a default pursuant to Section 3.2 occurs, the Default Percentage shall be immediately adjusted to 200%.
If the Borrower fails to pay the Default Amount within five (5) business days of written notice that such amount is due and payable, then the Holder shall have the right at any time, to convert the balance owed pursuant to the note including the Default Amount into shares of common stock of the Company as set forth herein.
ARTICLE IV. CONVERSION RIGHTS
4.1 Conversion Right. After the occurrence of an Event of Default, at any time, the Holder shall have the right, to convert all or any part of the outstanding and unpaid amount of this Note into fully paid and non-assessable shares of Common Stock, as such Common Stock exists on the Issue Date, or any shares of capital stock or other securities of the Borrower into which such Common Stock shall hereafter be changed or reclassified at the conversion price determined as provided herein (a “Conversion”); provided, however, that in no event shall the Holder be entitled to convert any portion of this Note in excess of that portion of this Note upon conversion of which the sum of (1) the number of shares of Common Stock beneficially owned by the Holder and its affiliates (other than shares of Common Stock which may be deemed beneficially owned through the ownership of the unconverted portion of the Notes or the unexercised or unconverted portion of any other security of the Borrower subject to a limitation on conversion or exercise analogous to the limitations contained herein) and (2) the number of shares of Common Stock issuable upon the conversion of the portion of this Note with respect to which the determination of this proviso is being made, would result in beneficial ownership by the Holder and its affiliates of more than 4.99% of the outstanding shares of Common Stock. For purposes of the proviso to the immediately preceding sentence, beneficial ownership shall be determined in accordance with Section 13(d) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”), and Regulations 13D-G thereunder, except as otherwise provided in clause (1) of such proviso. The beneficial ownership limitations on conversion as set forth in the section may NOT be waived by the Holder. The number of shares of Common Stock to be issued upon each conversion of this Note shall be determined by dividing the Conversion Amount (as defined below) by the applicable Conversion Price then in effect on the date specified in the notice of conversion, in the form attached hereto as Exhibit B(the “Notice of Conversion”), delivered to the Borrower by the Holder in accordance with Section 4.4 below; provided that the Notice of Conversion is submitted by facsimile or e-mail (or by other means resulting in, or reasonably expected to result in, notice) to the Borrower before 6:00 p.m., New York, New York time on such conversion date (the “Conversion Date”); however, if the Notice of Conversion is sent after 6:00pm, New York, New York time the Conversion Date shall be the next business day. The term “Conversion Amount” means, with respect to any conversion of this Note, the sum of (1) the principal amount of this Note to be converted in such conversion plus (2) at the Holder’s option, accrued and unpaid interest, if any, on such principal amount at the interest rates provided in this Note to the Conversion Date, plus (3) at the Holder’s option, Default Interest, if any, on the amounts referred to in the immediately preceding clauses (1) and/or (2) plus (4) at the Holder’s option, any amounts owed to the Holder pursuant to Sections 4.4 hereof. The Holder shall be entitled to deduct $1,500.00 from the conversion amount in each Notice of Conversion to cover Holder’s deposit fees associated with each Notice of Conversion. Any additional expenses incurred by Holder with respect to the Borrower’s transfer agent, for the issuance of the Common Stock into which this Note is convertible into, shall immediately and automatically be added to the balance of the Note at such time as the expenses are incurred by Holder.
| 5 |
4.2 Conversion Price. The conversion price (the “Conversion Price”) shall mean 65% multiplied by the lowest Trading Price for the Common Stock during the ten (10) Trading Days prior to the Conversion Date (subject to equitable adjustments by the Borrower relating to the Borrower’s securities or the securities of any subsidiary of the Borrower, combinations, recapitalization, reclassifications, extraordinary distributions and similar events). “Trading Price” means, for any security as of any date, the closing bid price on the or applicable exchange or trading market (the “Trading Market”) as reported by a reliable reporting service (“Reporting Service”) designated by the Holder (i.e. Bloomberg) or, if the Trading Market is not the principal trading market for such security, the closing bid price of such security on the principal securities exchange or trading market where such security is listed or traded or, if no closing bid price of such security is available in any of the foregoing manners, the average of the closing bid prices of any market makers for such security that are listed in the “pink sheets”. If the Trading Price cannot be calculated for such security on such date in the manner provided above, the Trading Price shall be the fair market value as mutually determined by the Borrower and the holders of a majority in interest of the Notes being converted for which the calculation of the Trading Price is required in order to determine the Conversion Price of such Notes. “Trading Day” shall mean any day on which the Common Stock is tradable for any period on the Trading Market, or on the principal securities exchange or other securities market on which the Common Stock is then being traded.
4.3 Authorized Shares. The Borrower covenants that during the period that the Note is outstanding, the Borrower will reserve from its authorized and unissued Common Stock a sufficient number of shares, free from preemptive rights, to provide for the issuance of Common Stock upon the full conversion of this Note issued pursuant to the Purchase Agreement. The Borrower is required at all times to have authorized and reserved four times the number of shares that is actually issuable upon full conversion of the Note (based on the Conversion Price of the Note in effect from time to time) (the “Reserved Amount”). The Reserved Amount shall be adjusted from time to time in accordance with the Borrower’s obligations hereunder and the reduction of the balance due to timely payments. The Borrower represents that upon issuance, such shares will be duly and validly issued, fully paid and non-assessable. In addition, if the Borrower shall issue any securities or make any change to its capital structure which would change the number of shares of Common Stock into which the Notes shall be convertible at the then current Conversion Price, the Borrower shall at the same time make proper provision so that thereafter there shall be a sufficient number of shares of Common Stock authorized and reserved, free from preemptive rights, for conversion of the outstanding Note. The Borrower (i) acknowledges that it has irrevocably instructed its transfer agent to issue certificates for the Common Stock issuable upon conversion of this Note, and (ii) agrees that its issuance of this Note shall constitute full authority to its officers and agents who are charged with the duty of executing stock certificates to execute and issue the necessary certificates for shares of Common Stock in accordance with the terms and conditions of this Note.
If, at any time the Borrower does not maintain the Reserved Amount it will be considered an Event of Default under this Note.
| 6 |
4.4 Method of Conversion.
(a) Mechanics of Conversion. As set forth in Section 4.1 hereof, at any time following an Event of Default, the balance due pursuant to this Note may be converted by the Holder in whole or in part at any time from time to time after the Issue Date, by (A) submitting to the Borrower a Notice of Conversion (by facsimile, e-mail or other reasonable means of communication dispatched on the Conversion Date prior to 6:00 p.m., New York, New York time) and (B) subject to Section 4.4(b), surrendering this Note at the principal office of the Borrower (upon payment in full of any amounts owed hereunder).
(b) Surrender of Note Upon Conversion. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary set forth herein, upon conversion of this Note in accordance with the terms hereof, the Holder shall not be required to physically surrender this Note to the Borrower unless the entire unpaid principal amount of this Note is so converted. The Holder and the Borrower shall maintain records showing the principal amount so converted and the dates of such conversions or shall use such other method, reasonably satisfactory to the Holder and the Borrower, so as not to require physical surrender of this Note upon each such conversion.
(c) Delivery of Common Stock Upon Conversion. Upon receipt by the Borrower from the Holder of a facsimile transmission or e-mail (or other reasonable means of communication) of a Notice of Conversion meeting the requirements for conversion as provided in this Section 4.4, the Borrower shall issue and deliver or cause to be issued and delivered to or upon the order of the Holder certificates for the Common Stock issuable upon such conversion within three (3) business days after such receipt (the “Deadline”) (and, solely in the case of conversion of the entire unpaid principal amount hereof, surrender of this Note) in accordance with the terms hereof and the Purchase Agreement. Upon receipt by the Borrower of a Notice of Conversion, the Holder shall be deemed to be the holder of record of the Common Stock issuable upon such conversion, the outstanding principal amount and the amount of accrued and unpaid interest on this Note shall be reduced to reflect such conversion, and, unless the Borrower defaults on its obligations hereunder, all rights with respect to the portion of this Note being so converted shall forthwith terminate except the right to receive the Common Stock or other securities, cash or other assets, as herein provided, on such conversion. If the Holder shall have given a Notice of Conversion as provided herein, the Borrower’s obligation to issue and deliver the certificates for Common Stock shall be absolute and unconditional, irrespective of the absence of any action by the Holder to enforce the same, any waiver or consent with respect to any provision thereof, the recovery of any judgment against any person or any action to enforce the same, any failure or delay in the enforcement of any other obligation of the Borrower to the holder of record, or any setoff, counterclaim, recoupment, limitation or termination, or any breach or alleged breach by the Holder of any obligation to the Borrower, and irrespective of any other circumstance which might otherwise limit such obligation of the Borrower to the Holder in connection with such conversion.
| 7 |
(d) Delivery of Common Stock by Electronic Transfer. In lieu of delivering physical certificates representing the Common Stock issuable upon conversion, provided the Borrower is participating in the Depository Trust Company (“DTC”) Fast Automated Securities Transfer (“FAST”) program, upon request of the Holder and its compliance with the provisions set forth herein, the Borrower shall use its best efforts to cause its transfer agent to electronically transmit the Common Stock issuable upon conversion to the Holder by crediting the account of Holder’s Prime Broker with DTC through its Deposit and Withdrawal at Custodian (“DWAC”) system.
(e) Failure to Deliver Common Stock Prior to Deadline. Without in any way limiting the Holder’s right to pursue other remedies, including actual damages and/or equitable relief, the parties agree that if delivery of the Common Stock issuable upon conversion of this Note is not delivered by the Deadline due to action and/or inaction of the Borrower, the Borrower shall pay to the Holder $2,000 per day in cash, for each day beyond the Deadline that the Borrower fails to deliver such Common Stock (the “Fail to Deliver Fee”); provided; however that the Fail to Deliver Fee shall not be due if the failure is a result of a third party (i.e., transfer agent; and not the result of any failure to pay such transfer agent) despite the best efforts of the Borrower to effect delivery of such Common Stock. Such cash amount shall be paid to Holder by the fifth day of the month following the month in which it has accrued or, at the option of the Holder (by written notice to the Borrower by the first day of the month following the month in which it has accrued), shall be added to the principal amount of this Note, in which event interest shall accrue thereon in accordance with the terms of this Note and such additional principal amount shall be convertible into Common Stock in accordance with the terms of this Note. The Borrower agrees that the right to convert is a valuable right to the Holder. The damages resulting from a failure, attempt to frustrate, interference with such conversion right are difficult if not impossible to qualify. Accordingly, the parties acknowledge that the liquidated damages provision contained in this Section 4.4(e) are justified.
4.5 Concerning the Shares. The shares of Common Stock issuable upon conversion of this Note may not be sold or transferred unless: (i) such shares are sold pursuant to an effective registration statement under the Act or (ii) the Borrower or its transfer agent shall have been furnished with an opinion of counsel (which opinion shall be in form, substance and scope customary for opinions of counsel in comparable transactions) to the effect that the shares to be sold or transferred may be sold or transferred pursuant to an exemption from such registration (such as Rule 144 or a successor rule) (“Rule 144”); or (iii) such shares are transferred to an “affiliate” (as defined in Rule 144) of the Borrower who agrees to sell or otherwise transfer the shares only in accordance with this Section 4.5 and who is an Accredited Investor (as defined in the Purchase Agreement).
Any restrictive legend on certificates representing shares of Common Stock issuable upon conversion of this Note shall be removed and the Borrower shall issue to the Holder a new certificate therefore free of any transfer legend if the Borrower or its transfer agent shall have received an opinion of counsel from Holder’s counsel, in form, substance and scope customary for opinions of counsel in comparable transactions, to the effect that (i) a public sale or transfer of such Common Stock may be made without registration under the Act, which opinion shall be accepted by the Company so that the sale or transfer is effected; or (ii) in the case of the Common Stock issuable upon conversion of this Note, such security is registered for sale by the Holder under an effective registration statement filed under the Act; or otherwise may be sold pursuant to an exemption from registration. In the event that the Company does not reasonably accept the opinion of counsel provided by the Holder with respect to the transfer of Securities pursuant to an exemption from registration (such as Rule 144), it will be considered an Event of Default pursuant to this Note.
| 8 |
4.6 Effect of Certain Events.
(a) Effect of Merger, Consolidation, Etc. At the option of the Holder, the sale, conveyance or disposition of all or substantially all of the assets of the Borrower, the effectuation by the Borrower of a transaction or series of related transactions in which more than 50% of the voting power of the Borrower is disposed of, or the consolidation, merger or other business combination of the Borrower with or into any other Person (as defined below) or Persons when the Borrower is not the survivor shall be deemed to be an Event of Default (as defined in Article III) pursuant to which the Borrower shall be required to pay to the Holder upon the consummation of and as a condition to such transaction an amount equal to the Default Amount (as defined in Article III). “Person” shall mean any individual, corporation, limited liability company, partnership, association, trust or other entity or organization.
(b) Adjustment Due to Merger, Consolidation, Etc. If, at any time when this Note is issued and outstanding and prior to conversion of all of the Note, there shall be any merger, consolidation, exchange of shares, recapitalization, reorganization, or other similar event, as a result of which shares of Common Stock of the Borrower shall be changed into the same or a different number of shares of another class or classes of stock or securities of the Borrower or another entity, or in case of any sale or conveyance of all or substantially all of the assets of the Borrower other than in connection with a plan of complete liquidation of the Borrower, then the Holder of this Note shall thereafter have the right to receive upon conversion of this Note, upon the basis and upon the terms and conditions specified herein and in lieu of the shares of Common Stock immediately theretofore issuable upon conversion, such stock, securities or assets which the Holder would have been entitled to receive in such transaction had this Note been converted in full immediately prior to such transaction (without regard to any limitations on conversion set forth herein), and in any such case appropriate provisions shall be made with respect to the rights and interests of the Holder of this Note to the end that the provisions hereof (including, without limitation, provisions for adjustment of the Conversion Price and of the number of shares issuable upon conversion of the Note) shall thereafter be applicable, as nearly as may be practicable in relation to any securities or assets thereafter deliverable upon the conversion hereof. The Borrower shall not affect any transaction described in this Section 4.6(b) unless (a) it first gives, to the extent practicable, ten (10) days prior written notice (but in any event at least five (5) days prior written notice) of the record date of the special meeting of shareholders to approve, or if there is no such record date, the consummation of, such merger, consolidation, exchange of shares, recapitalization, reorganization or other similar event or sale of assets (during which time the Holder shall be entitled to convert this Note) and (b) the resulting successor or acquiring entity (if not the Borrower) assumes by written instrument the obligations of this Note. The above provisions shall similarly apply to successive consolidations, mergers, sales, transfers or share exchanges.
(c) Adjustment Due to Distribution. If the Borrower shall declare or make any distribution of its assets (or rights to acquire its assets) to holders of Common Stock as a dividend, stock repurchase, by way of return of capital or otherwise (including any dividend or distribution to the Borrower’s shareholders in cash or shares (or rights to acquire shares) of capital stock of a subsidiary (i.e., a spin-off)) (a “Distribution”), then the Holder of this Note shall be entitled, upon any conversion of this Note after the date of record for determining shareholders entitled to such Distribution, to receive the amount of such assets which would have been payable to the Holder with respect to the shares of Common Stock issuable upon such conversion had such Holder been the holder of such shares of Common Stock on the record date for the determination of shareholders entitled to such Distribution.

Registration Statement on Form S-1, Registration No. 333-288626
Ladies and Gentlemen:
We have acted as counsel to Eva Live Inc., a Nevada corporation (the “Company”), in connection with the preparation of the Company’s registration statement on Form S-1 and the preliminary prospectus forming a part of the registration statement (the “Prospectus”), under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”), initially filed by the Company with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (the “Commission”) on July 11, 2025, as thereafter amended or supplemented (the “Registration Statement”). The Prospectus relates to the proposed issuance and sale by the Company (“Offering”) of (i) units (the “Units”), each consisting of (x) one share (each, a “Share”) of the Company’s common stock, $0.0001 par value per share (“Common Stock”), and (y) one warrant (“Warrant”), each Warrant exercisable for one share of Common Stock, to be issued under a warrant agency agreement, to be dated on or about the date of the first issuance of the applicable Warrants thereunder (the “Warrant Agreement”), by and between a warrant agent to be selected by the Company (the “Warrant Agent”) and the Company, in substantially the form filed as an exhibit to the Registration Statement (the “Warrant Agreement”); (ii) Shares included in the Units; (iii) Warrants included in the Units; (iv) shares of Common Stock underlying the Warrants (“Warrant Shares”); (v) warrants to purchase Common Stock, such warrants to be issued to the representative of the underwriters for the Offering or the representative’s assigns (the “Representative’s Warrants”); (vi) shares of Common Stock underlying the Representative’s Warrants (“Representative Warrant Shares”) and (vii) additional shares of Common Stock and/or Warrants for the underwriters’ overallotment option (such shares, the “Option Shares” and such Warrants, the “Option Warrants”, and the shares of Common Stock underlying the Option Warrants, the “Option Warrant Shares”). The Units, the Shares, the Warrants, the Warrant Shares, the Representative’s Warrants, the Representative Warrant Shares, the Option Shares, the Option Warrants and the Option Warrant Shares are referred to herein, collectively, as the “Securities.” The proposed maximum aggregate offering price of the Securities is $11,500,000. The Securities are to be sold by the Company pursuant to an underwriting agreement by and between the Company and Maxim Group LLC, as representative of the several underwriters named therein (the “Underwriting Agreement”).
In connection with this opinion, we have examined originals or copies (certified or otherwise identified to our satisfaction) of (i) the Company’s Articles of Incorporation and all amendments thereto, as currently in effect, (ii) the Company’s Bylaws and all amendments thereto, as currently in effect, (iii) the Registration Statement and related Prospectus, (iv) the form of Warrant, (v) the form of Representative’s Warrant, (vi) the Underwriting Agreement; (vii) the Warrant Agreement; and (viii) such corporate records, agreements, documents and other instruments, and such certificates or comparable documents of public officials or of officers and representatives of the Company, as we have deemed relevant and necessary as a basis for the opinion hereinafter set forth.
In such examination, we have assumed the genuineness of all signatures, the legal capacity of all natural persons, the authenticity of all documents submitted to us as originals, the conformity to original documents of all documents submitted to us as certified, conformed or photostatic copies, and the authenticity of the originals of such latter documents. As to certain questions of fact material to this opinion, we have relied upon certificates or comparable documents of officers and representatives of the Company and have not sought to independently verify such facts.
Based on the foregoing, and subject to the assumptions, qualifications, limitations and exceptions set forth herein, we are of the opinion that:
| 1. | The Units have been duly authorized for issuance by the Company. The Units, if and when issued, delivered and paid for as described in the Prospectus and pursuant to the Underwriting Agreement, will constitute valid and binding obligations of the Company, enforceable against the Company in accordance with their terms, subject to the effects of bankruptcy, insolvency, fraudulent transfer, reorganization, receivership, moratorium and other laws affecting the rights and remedies of creditors generally and to the exercise of judicial discretion in accordance with general principles of equity, whether applied by a court of law or equity. |
| 2. | The Shares, the Representative Warrant Shares, and the Option Shares have been duly authorized for issuance by the Company and, when issued, delivered and paid for as described in the Prospectus and pursuant to the Underwriting Agreement, will be validly issued, fully-paid and non-assessable. |
| 3. | The Warrants, the Representative’s Warrants, and the Option Warrants have been duly authorized for issuance by the Company. The Warrants, the Representative’s Warrants, and the Option Warrants, when issued, delivered and paid for as described in the Prospectus and pursuant to the Warrant Agreement, will constitute valid and binding obligations of the Company, enforceable against the Company in accordance with their terms, subject to the effects of bankruptcy, insolvency, fraudulent transfer, reorganization, receivership, moratorium and other laws affecting the rights and remedies of creditors generally and to the exercise of judicial discretion in accordance with general principles of equity, whether applied by a court of law or equity. |
| 4. | The Warrant Shares, the Representative Warrant Shares, and the Option Warrant Shares have been duly authorized for issuance by the Company and, when issued and delivered by the Company against payment therefor, upon exercise of the Warrants, the Representative’s Warrants, and the Option Warrants, as applicable, in accordance with the terms therein and the terms of the Warrant Agreement, will be validly issued, fully-paid and non-assessable. |
The opinion expressed herein is limited to the Nevada Revised Statutes, and, with respect to the enforceability of the Warrants, the Representative’s Warrants, and the Option Warrants, the laws of the State of New York, and we express no opinion as to the effect on the matters covered by this letter of the laws of any other jurisdiction.
We assume no obligation to update or supplement any of our opinions to reflect any changes of law or fact that may occur. We hereby consent to the filing of this letter as an exhibit to the Registration Statement and to the reference to our firm under the caption “Legal Matters” in the Prospectus which is a part of the Registration Statement. In giving such consents, we do not thereby admit that we are in the category of persons whose consent is required under Section 7 of the Securities Act or the Rules and Regulations of the Commission promulgated thereunder.

Section 1.4 Restrictions on MLWN Shares Issued Pursuant to this Agreement. The MLWN shares to be issued by MLWN pursuant to this Agreement have not been registered and are being issued pursuant to a specific exemption under the Securities Act, as well as under certain state securities laws for transactions by an issuer not involving any public offering or in reliance on limited federal preemption from such state securities registration laws, based on the suitability and investment representations made by the EVA Shareholders to MLWN.

5. Transfer Agent Instructions. The Company shall issue irrevocable instructions to its transfer agent to issue certificates, registered in the name of the Buyer or its nominee, for the shares underlying any conversion of the Note upon default of the Note (the “Conversion Shares”) in such amounts as specified from time to time by the Buyer to the Company upon conversion of the Note in accordance with the terms thereof (the “Irrevocable Transfer Agent Instructions”). In the event that the Company proposes to replace its transfer agent, the Company shall provide, prior to the effective date of such replacement, a fully executed Irrevocable Transfer Agent Instructions in a form as initially delivered pursuant to this Agreement (including but not limited to the provision to irrevocably reserve shares of Common Stock in the Reserved Amount as such term is defined in the Note) signed by the successor transfer agent to Company and the Company. Prior to registration of the Conversion Shares under the 1933 Act or the date on which the Conversion Shares may be sold pursuant to an exemption from registration, all such certificates shall bear the restrictive legend specified in Section 2(e) of this Agreement. The Company warrants that: (i) no instruction other than the Irrevocable Transfer Agent Instructions referred to in this Section 5, will be given by the Company to its transfer agent and that the Securities shall otherwise be freely transferable on the books and records of the Company as and to the extent provided in this Agreement and the Note; (ii) it will not direct its transfer agent not to transfer or delay, impair, and/or hinder its transfer agent in transferring (or issuing)(electronically or in certificated form) any certificate for Conversion Shares to be issued to the Buyer upon conversion of or otherwise pursuant to the Note as and when required by the Note and this Agreement; and (iii) it will not fail to remove (or directs its transfer agent not to remove or impairs, delays, and/or hinders its transfer agent from removing) any restrictive legend (or to withdraw any stop transfer instructions in respect thereof) on any certificate for any Conversion Shares issued to the Buyer upon conversion of or otherwise pursuant to the Note as and when required by the Note and/or this Agreement. If the Buyer provides the Company and the Company’s transfer, at the cost of the Buyer, with an opinion of counsel in form, substance and scope customary for opinions in comparable transactions, to the effect that a public sale or transfer of such Securities may be made without registration under the 1933 Act, the Company shall permit the transfer, and, in the case of the Conversion Shares, promptly instruct its transfer agent to issue one or more certificates, free from restrictive legend, in such name and in such denominations as specified by the Buyer. The Company acknowledges that a breach by it of its obligations hereunder will cause irreparable harm to the Buyer, by vitiating the intent and purpose of the transactions contemplated hereby. Accordingly, the Company acknowledges that the remedy at law for a breach of its obligations under this Section 5 may be inadequate and agrees, in the event of a breach or threatened breach by the Company of the provisions of this Section, that the Buyer shall be entitled, in addition to all other available remedies, to an injunction restraining any breach and requiring immediate transfer, without the necessity of showing economic loss and without any bond or other security being required.

(c) A Holder has the right to elect at any time or from time to time a Warrant Exchange (as defined below) pursuant to a Warrant Certificate Request Notice (as defined below). Upon written notice by a Holder to the Company and the Warrant Agent for the exchange of some or all of such Holder’s Global Warrants for a separate certificate in the form attached hereto as Exhibit 1 (such separate certificate, a “Definitive Certificate”) evidencing the same number of Warrants, which request shall be in the form attached hereto as Exhibit 2 (a “Warrant Certificate Request Notice” and the date of delivery of such Warrant Certificate Request Notice by the Holder, the “Warrant Certificate Request Notice Date” and the surrender by the Holder to the Warrant Agent of a number of Global Warrants for the same number of Warrants evidenced by a Warrant Certificate, a “Warrant Exchange”), the Company and the Warrant Agent shall promptly effect the Warrant Exchange and the Company shall promptly issue and deliver to the Holder a Definitive Certificate for such number of Warrants in the name set forth in the Warrant Certificate Request Notice. Such Definitive Certificate shall be dated the original issue date of the Warrants, shall be manually executed by an authorized signatory of the Company, shall be in the form attached hereto as Exhibit 1 and shall be reasonably acceptable in all respects to such Holder. In connection with a Warrant Exchange, the Company agrees to deliver the Definitive Certificate to the Holder within ten (10) Business Days of the Warrant Certificate Request Notice pursuant to the delivery instructions in the Warrant Certificate Request Notice (“Warrant Certificate Delivery Date”). If the Company fails for any reason to deliver to the Holder the Definitive Certificate subject to the Warrant Certificate Request Notice by the Warrant Certificate Delivery Date, the Company shall pay to the Holder, in cash, as liquidated damages and not as a penalty, for each $1,000 of Warrant Shares evidenced by such Definitive Certificate (based on the VWAP (as defined in the Warrants) of the Common Stock on the Warrant Certificate Request Notice Date), $10 per Business Day for each Business Day after such Warrant Certificate Delivery Date until such Definitive Certificate is delivered or, prior to delivery of such Warrant Certificate, the Holder rescinds such Warrant Exchange. The Company covenants and agrees that, upon the date of delivery of the Warrant Certificate Request Notice, the Holder shall be deemed to be the holder of the Definitive Certificate and, notwithstanding anything to the contrary set forth herein, the Definitive Certificate shall be deemed for all purposes to contain all of the terms and conditions of the Warrants evidenced by such Warrant Certificate and the terms of this Agreement, other than Sections 3(c), 3(d) and 9 herein, shall not apply to the Warrants evidenced by the Definitive Certificate. Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, the Company shall act as warrant agent with respect to any Definitive Certificate requested and issued pursuant to this section. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Agreement, in the event of inconsistency between any provision in this Agreement and any provision in a Definitive Certificate, as it may from time to time be amended, the terms of such Definitive Certificate shall control.
| 2 |
(d) A Holder of a Definitive Certificate (pursuant to a Warrant Exchange or otherwise) has the right to elect at any time or from time to time a Global Warrants Exchange (as defined below) pursuant to a Global Warrants Request Notice (as defined below). Upon written notice by a Holder to the Company for the exchange of some or all of such Holder’s Warrants evidenced by a Definitive Certificate for a beneficial interest in Global Warrants held in book-entry form through the Depositary evidencing the same number of Warrants, which request shall be in the form attached hereto as Exhibit 3 (a “Global Warrants Request Notice” and the date of delivery of such Global Warrants Request Notice by the Holder, the “Global Warrants Request Notice Date” and the surrender upon delivery by the Holder of the Warrants evidenced by Definitive Certificates for the same number of Warrants evidenced by a beneficial interest in Global Warrants held in book-entry form through the Depositary, a “Global Warrants Exchange”), the Company shall promptly effect the Global Warrants Exchange and shall promptly direct the Warrant Agent to issue and deliver to the Holder Global Warrants for such number of Warrants in the Global Warrants Request Notice, which beneficial interest in such Global Warrants shall be delivered by the Depositary’s Deposit or Withdrawal at Custodian system to the Holder pursuant to the instructions in the Global Warrants Request Notice. In connection with a Global Warrants Exchange, the Company shall direct the Warrant Agent to deliver the beneficial interest in such Global Warrants to the Holder within ten (10) Business Days of the Global Warrants Request Notice pursuant to the delivery instructions in the Global Warrant Request Notice (“Global Warrants Delivery Date”). If the Company fails for any reason to deliver to the Holder Global Warrants subject to the Global Warrants Request Notice by the Global Warrants Delivery Date, the Company shall pay to the Holder, in cash, as liquidated damages and not as a penalty, for each $1,000 of Warrant Shares evidenced by such Global Warrants (based on the VWAP (as defined in the Warrants) of the Common Stock on the Global Warrants Request Notice Date), $10 per Business Day for each Business Day after such Global Warrants Delivery Date until such Global Warrants are delivered or, prior to delivery of such Global Warrants, the Holder rescinds such Global Warrants Exchange. The Company covenants and agrees that, upon the date of delivery of the Global Warrants Request Notice, the Holder shall be deemed to be the beneficial holder of such Global Warrants.
Section 4. Form of Warrant Certificates. The Warrant Certificate, together with the form of election to purchase Common Stock (“Notice of Exercise”) and the form of assignment to be printed on the reverse thereof, shall be in the form of Exhibit 1 hereto.
Section 5. Countersignature and Registration. The Global Warrant shall be executed on behalf of the Company by its Chief Executive Officer, Chief Financial Officer or Vice President, by facsimile signature, and have affixed thereto the Company’s seal or a facsimile thereof which shall be attested by the Secretary or an Assistant Secretary of the Company, by facsimile signature. The Global Warrant shall be countersigned by the Warrant Agent by facsimile signature and shall not be valid for any purpose unless so countersigned. In case any officer of the Company who shall have signed any of the Global Warrant shall cease to be such officer of the Company before countersignature by the Warrant Agent and issuance and delivery by the Company, such Global Warrant, nevertheless, may be countersigned by the Warrant Agent, issued and delivered with the same force and effect as though the person who signed such Global Warrant had not ceased to be such officer of the Company; and any Global Warrant may be signed on behalf of the Company by any person who, at the actual date of the execution of such Global Warrant, shall be a proper officer of the Company to sign such Global Warrant, although at the date of the execution of this Warrant Agreement any such person was not such an officer.
The Warrant Agent will keep or cause to be kept, at one of its offices, or at the office of one of its agents, books for registration and transfer of the Global Warrants issued hereunder. Such books shall show the names and addresses of the respective Holders of the Global Warrant, the number of warrants evidenced on the face of each of such Global Warrant and the date of each of such Global Warrant. The Warrant Agent will create a special account for the issuance of Global Warrants. The Company will keep or cause to be kept at one of its offices, books for the registration and transfer of any Definitive Certificates issued hereunder and the Warrant Agent shall not have any obligation to keep books and records with respect to any Definitive Warrants. Such Company books shall show the names and addresses of the respective Holders of the Definitive Certificates, the number of warrants evidenced on the face of each such Definitive Certificate and the date of each such Definitive Certificate.
| 3 |
Section 6. Transfer, Split Up, Combination and Exchange of Warrant Certificates; Mutilated, Destroyed, Lost or Stolen Warrant Certificates. With respect to the Global Warrant, subject to the provisions of the Warrant Certificate and the last sentence of this first paragraph of Section 6 and subject to applicable law, rules or regulations, or any “stop transfer” instructions the Company may give to the Warrant Agent, at any time after the closing date of the Offering, and at or prior to the Close of Business on the Termination Date (as such term is defined in the Warrant Certificate), any Global Warrant or Global Warrants may be transferred, split up, combined or exchanged for another Global Warrant or Global Warrants, entitling the Holder to purchase a like number of shares of Common Stock as the Global Warrant or Global Warrants surrendered then entitled such Holder to purchase. Any Holder desiring to transfer, split up, combine or exchange any Global Warrant shall make such request in writing delivered to the Warrant Agent, and shall surrender the Global Warrant to be transferred, split up, combined or exchanged at the principal office of the Warrant Agent. Any requested transfer of Warrants, whether in book-entry form or certificate form, shall be accompanied by reasonable evidence of authority of the party making such request that may be required by the Warrant Agent. Thereupon the Warrant Agent shall, subject to the last sentence of this first paragraph of Section 6, countersign and deliver to the Person entitled thereto a Global Warrant or Global Warrants, as the case may be, as so requested. The Company may require payment from the Holder of a sum sufficient to cover any tax or governmental charge that may be imposed in connection with any transfer, split up, combination or exchange of Global Warrants. The Company shall compensate the Warrant Agent per the fee schedule mutually agreed upon by the parties hereto and provided separately on the date hereof.
Upon receipt by the Warrant Agent of evidence reasonably satisfactory to it of the loss, theft, destruction or mutilation of a Warrant Certificate, which evidence shall include an affidavit of loss, or in the case of mutilated certificates, the certificate or portion thereof remaining, and, in case of loss, theft or destruction, of indemnity in customary form and amount (but, with respect to any Definitive Certificates, shall not include the posting of any bond by the Holder), and satisfaction of any other reasonable requirements established by Section 8-405 of the Uniform Commercial Code as in effect in the State of Nevada, and reimbursement to the Company and the Warrant Agent of all reasonable expenses incidental thereto, and upon surrender to the Warrant Agent and cancellation of the Warrant Certificate if mutilated, the Company will make and deliver a new Warrant Certificate of like tenor to the Warrant Agent for delivery to the Holder in lieu of the Warrant Certificate so lost, stolen, destroyed or mutilated.
Section 7. Exercise of Warrants; Exercise Price; Termination Date.
(a) The Warrants shall be exercisable commencing on the Initial Exercise Date. The Warrants shall cease to be exercisable and shall terminate and become void as set forth in the Warrant Certificate. Subject to the foregoing and to Section 7(b) below, the Holder of a Warrant may exercise the Warrant in whole or in part upon surrender of the Warrant Certificate, if required, with the executed Notice of Exercise and payment of the Exercise Price, which may be made, at the option of the Holder, by wire transfer or by certified or official bank check in United States dollars, to the Company at its principal office . In the case of the Holder of a Global Warrant, the Holder shall deliver the executed Notice of Exercise and the payment of the Exercise Price as described herein. Notwithstanding any other provision in this Agreement, a holder whose interest in a Global Warrant is a beneficial interest in a Global Warrant held in book-entry form through the Depositary (or another established clearing corporation performing similar functions), shall effect exercises by delivering to the Depositary (or such other clearing corporation, as applicable) the appropriate instruction form for exercise, complying with the procedures to effect exercise that are required by the Depositary (or such other clearing corporation, as applicable). No ink-original Notice of Exercise shall be required, nor shall any medallion guarantee (or other type of guarantee or notarization) of any Notice of Exercise be required. The Company hereby acknowledges and agrees that, with respect to a holder whose interest in a Global Warrant is a beneficial interest in a Global Warrant held in book-entry form through the Depositary (or another established clearing corporation performing similar functions), upon delivery of irrevocable instructions to such holder’s Participant to exercise such warrants, that solely for purposes of Regulation SHO that such holder shall be deemed to have exercised such warrants.
| 4 |
(c) Upon the exercise of the Warrant Certificate pursuant to the terms of Section 2 of the Warrant Certificate, the Warrant Agent shall cause the Warrant Shares underlying such Warrant Certificate or Global Warrant to be delivered to or upon the order of the Holder of such Warrant Certificate or Global Warrant, registered in such name or names as may be designated by such Holder, no later than the Warrant Share Delivery Date (as such term is defined in the Warrant Certificate). If the Company is then a participant in the DWAC system of the Depositary and either (A) there is an effective registration statement permitting the issuance of the Warrant Shares to or resale of the Warrant Shares by Holder or (B) the Warrant is being exercised via Cashless Exercise, then the certificates for Warrant Shares shall be transmitted by the Warrant Agent to the Holder by crediting the account of the Holder’s broker with the Depositary through its DWAC system. For the avoidance of doubt, if the Company becomes obligated to pay any amounts to any Holders pursuant to Section 2(d)(i) or 2(d)(iv) of the Warrant Certificate, such obligation shall be solely that of the Company and not that of the Warrant Agent. Notwithstanding anything else to the contrary in this Agreement, except in the case of a Cashless Exercise, if any Holder fails to duly deliver payment to the Warrant Agent of an amount equal to the aggregate Exercise Price of the Warrant Shares to be purchased upon exercise of such Holder’s Warrant as set forth in Section 7(a) hereof by the Warrant Share Delivery Date, the Warrant Agent will not obligated to deliver such Warrant Shares (via DWAC or otherwise) until following receipt of such payment, and the applicable Warrant Share Delivery Date shall be deemed extended by one day for each day (or part thereof) until such payment is delivered to the Warrant Agent.
(d) The Company shall notify the Warrant Agent via email at the end of each day on which it receives the payment of the Exercise Price for any Warrants so exercised together with the executed Notice of Exercise. The Warrant Agent will not be required to process any exercise without the Notice of Exercise and confirmation of receipt of the Exercise Price from the Company.
Section 8. Cancellation and Destruction of Warrant Certificates. All Warrant Certificates surrendered for the purpose of exercise, transfer, split up, combination or exchange shall, if surrendered to the Company or to any of its agents, be delivered to the Warrant Agent for cancellation or in canceled form, or, if surrendered to the Warrant Agent, shall be canceled by it, and no Warrant Certificate shall be issued in lieu thereof except as expressly permitted by any of the provisions of this Agreement. The Company shall deliver to the Warrant Agent for cancellation and retirement, and the Warrant Agent shall so cancel and retire, any other Warrant Certificate purchased or acquired by the Company otherwise than upon the exercise thereof. The Warrant Agent shall deliver all canceled Warrant Certificates to the Company, or shall, at the written request of the Company, destroy such canceled Warrant Certificates, and in such case shall deliver a certificate of destruction thereof to the Company, subject to any applicable law, rule or regulation requiring the Warrant Agent to retain such canceled certificates.
Section 9. Certain Representations; Reservation and Availability of Shares of Common Stock or Cash.
(a) This Agreement has been duly authorized, executed and delivered by the Company and, assuming due authorization, execution and delivery hereof by the Warrant Agent, constitutes a valid and legally binding obligation of the Company enforceable against the Company in accordance with its terms, and the Warrants have been duly authorized, executed and issued by the Company and, assuming due authentication thereof by the Warrant Agent pursuant hereto and payment therefor by the Holders as provided in the Registration Statement, constitute valid and legally binding obligations of the Company enforceable against the Company in accordance with their terms and entitled to the benefits hereof; in each case except as enforceability may be limited by bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization, moratorium and other similar laws relating to or affecting creditors’ rights generally or by general equitable principles (regardless of whether such enforceability is considered in a proceeding in equity or at law).
(b) As of the date hereof, the authorized capital stock of the Company consists of (i) three million (3,000,000,000) shares of common stock, of which approximately 80,391,874 shares of Common Stock are issued and outstanding and [ ] shares of Common Stock are reserved for issuance upon exercise of the Warrants, and (ii) 50,000,000 shares of preferred stock, par value $0.0001 per share, of which 5,875,000 shares of Series A preferred and 570,000 shares of Series C preferred are issued and outstanding. Except as disclosed in the Registration Statement, there are no other outstanding obligations, warrants, options, or other rights to subscribe for or purchase from the Company any class of capital stock of the Company.
| 5 |
(c) The Company covenants and agrees that it will cause to be reserved and kept available out of its authorized and unissued shares of Common Stock or its authorized and issued shares of Common Stock held in its treasury, free from preemptive rights, the number of shares of Common Stock that will be sufficient to permit the exercise in full of all outstanding Warrants.
(d) The Company further covenants and agrees that it will pay when due and payable any and all federal and state transfer taxes and charges which may be payable in respect of the original issuance or delivery of the Warrant Certificates or certificates evidencing Common Stock upon exercise of the Warrants. The Company shall not, however, be required to pay any tax or governmental charge which may be payable in respect of any transfer involved in the transfer or delivery of Warrant Certificates or the issuance or delivery of certificates for Common Stock in a name other than that of the Holder of the Warrant Certificate evidencing Warrants surrendered for exercise or to issue or deliver any certificate for shares of Common Stock upon the exercise of any Warrants until any such tax or governmental charge shall have been paid (any such tax or governmental charge being payable by the Holder of such Warrant Certificate at the time of surrender) or until it has been established to the Company’s reasonable satisfaction that no such tax or governmental charge is due.
Section 10. Common Stock Record Date. Each Person in whose name any certificate for shares of Common Stock is issued (or to whose broker’s account is credited shares of Common Stock through the DWAC system) upon the exercise of Warrants shall for all purposes be deemed to have become the holder of record for the Common Stock represented thereby on, and such certificate shall be dated, the date on which submission of the Notice of Exercise was made, provided that the Warrant Certificate evidencing such Warrant is duly surrendered (but only if required herein) and payment of the Exercise Price (and any applicable transfer taxes) is received on or prior to the Warrant Share Delivery Date; provided, however, that if the date of submission of the Notice of Exercise is a date upon which the Common Stock transfer books of the Company are closed, such Person shall be deemed to have become the record holder of such shares on, and such certificate shall be dated, the next succeeding day on which the Common Stock transfer books of the Company are open.
Section 11. Adjustment of Exercise Price, Number of Shares of Common Stock or Number of the Company Warrants. The Exercise Price, the number of shares covered by each Warrant and the number of Warrants outstanding are subject to adjustment from time to time as provided in Section 3 of the Warrant Certificate. In the event that at any time, as a result of an adjustment made pursuant to Section 3 of the Warrant Certificate, the Holder of any Warrant thereafter exercised shall become entitled to receive any shares of capital stock of the Company other than shares of Common Stock, thereafter the number of such other shares so receivable upon exercise of any Warrant shall be subject to adjustment from time to time in a manner and on terms as nearly equivalent as practicable to the provisions with respect to the shares contained in Section 3 of the Warrant Certificate and the provisions of Sections 7, 11 and 12 of this Agreement with respect to the shares of Common Stock shall apply on like terms to any such other shares. All Warrants originally issued by the Company subsequent to any adjustment made to the Exercise Price pursuant to the Warrant Certificate shall evidence the right to purchase, at the adjusted Exercise Price, the number of shares of Common Stock purchasable from time to time hereunder upon exercise of the Warrants, all subject to further adjustment as provided herein.
Section 12. Certification of Adjusted Exercise Price or Number of Shares of Common Stock. Whenever the Exercise Price or the number of shares of Common Stock issuable upon the exercise of each Warrant is adjusted as provided in Section 11 or 13, the Company shall (a) promptly prepare a certificate setting forth the Exercise Price of each Warrant as so adjusted, and a brief statement of the facts accounting for such adjustment, (b) promptly file with the Warrant Agent and with each transfer agent for the Common Stock a copy of such certificate and (c) instruct the Warrant Agent to send a brief summary thereof to each Holder of a Warrant Certificate.
| 6 |
Section 13. Fractional Shares of Common Stock.
(a) The Company shall not issue fractions of Warrants or distribute Warrant Certificates which evidence fractional Warrants. Whenever any fractional Warrant would otherwise be required to be issued or distributed, the actual issuance or distribution shall reflect a rounding of such fraction to the nearest whole Warrant (rounded down).
(b) The Company shall not issue fractions of shares of Common Stock upon exercise of Warrants or distribute stock certificates which evidence fractional shares of Common Stock. Whenever any fraction of a share of Common Stock would otherwise be required to be issued or distributed, the actual issuance or distribution in respect thereof shall be made in accordance with Section 2(d)(v) of the Warrant Certificate.
Section 14. Conditions of the Warrant Agent’s Obligations. The Warrant Agent accepts its obligations herein set forth upon the terms and conditions hereof, including the following to all of which the Company agrees and to all of which the rights hereunder of the Holders from time to time of the Warrant Certificates shall be subject:
| (a) | Compensation and Indemnification. The Company agrees promptly to pay the Warrant Agent the compensation detailed on Exhibit 4 hereto for all services rendered by the Warrant Agent and to reimburse the Warrant Agent for reasonable out-of-pocket expenses (including reasonable counsel fees) incurred without gross negligence or willful misconduct finally adjudicated to have been directly caused by the Warrant Agent in connection with the services rendered hereunder by the Warrant Agent. The Company also agrees to indemnify and defend the Warrant Agent for, and to hold it harmless against, any loss, liability or expense incurred without gross negligence, or willful misconduct on the part of the Warrant Agent, finally adjudicated to have been directly caused by Warrant Agent hereunder, including the reasonable costs, attorney fees of counsel for the Warrant Agent elected by the Warrant Agent and expenses of defending against any claim of such liability. The Warrant Agent shall be under no obligation to institute or defend any action, suit, or legal proceeding in connection herewith or to take any other action likely to involve the Warrant Agent in expense, unless first indemnified to the Warrant Agent’s satisfaction. The indemnities provided by this paragraph shall survive the resignation or discharge of the Warrant Agent or the termination of this Agreement. Anything in this Agreement to the contrary notwithstanding, in no event shall the Warrant Agent be liable under or in connection with the Agreement for indirect, special, incidental, punitive or consequential losses or damages of any kind whatsoever, including but not limited to lost profits, whether or not foreseeable, even if the Warrant Agent has been advised of the possibility thereof and regardless of the form of action in which such damages are sought, and the Warrant Agent’s aggregate liability to the Company, or any of the Company’s representatives or agents, under this Section 14(a) or under any other term or provision of this Agreement, whether in contract, tort, or otherwise, is expressly limited to, and shall not exceed in any circumstances, one (1) year’s fees received by the Warrant Agent as fees and charges under this Agreement, but not including reimbursable expenses previously reimbursed to the Warrant Agent by the Company hereunder. |
| (b) | Agent for the Company. In acting under this Warrant Agreement and in connection with the Warrant Certificates, the Warrant Agent is acting solely as agent of the Company and does not assume any obligations or relationship of agency or trust for or with any of the Holders of Warrant Certificates or beneficial owners of Warrants. |
| (c) | Counsel. The Warrant Agent may consult with counsel satisfactory to it, which may include counsel for the Company, and the written advice of such counsel shall be full and complete authorization and protection in respect of any action taken, suffered or omitted by it hereunder in good faith and in accordance with the advice of such counsel. |
| (d) | Documents. The Warrant Agent shall be protected and shall incur no liability for or in respect of any action taken or omitted by it in reliance upon any Warrant Certificate, notice, direction, consent, certificate, affidavit, statement or other paper or document reasonably believed by it to be genuine and to have been presented or signed by the proper parties. |
| 7 |
| (e) | Certain Transactions. The Warrant Agent, and its officers, directors and employees, may become the owner of, or acquire any interest in, Warrants, with the same rights that it or they would have if it were not the Warrant Agent hereunder, and, to the extent permitted by applicable law, it or they may engage or be interested in any financial or other transaction with the Company and may act on, or as depositary, trustee or agent for, any committee or body of Holders of Warrant Securities or other obligations of the Company as freely as if it were not the Warrant Agent hereunder. Nothing in this Warrant Agreement shall be deemed to prevent the Warrant Agent from acting as trustee under any indenture to which the Company is a party. |
| (f) | No Liability for Invalidity. The Warrant Agent shall have no liability with respect to any invalidity of this Agreement or the Warrant Certificates (except as to the Warrant Agent’s countersignature thereon). |
| (g) | No Responsibility for Representations. The Warrant Agent shall not be responsible for any of the recitals or representations herein or in the Warrant Certificate (except as to the Warrant Agent’s countersignature thereon), all of which are made solely by the Company. |
| (h) | No Implied Obligations. The Warrant Agent shall be obligated to perform only such duties as are herein and in the Warrant Certificates specifically set forth and no implied duties or obligations shall be read into this Agreement or the Warrant Certificates against the Warrant Agent. The Warrant Agent shall not be under any obligation to take any action hereunder which may tend to involve it in any expense or liability, the payment of which within a reasonable time is not, in its reasonable opinion, assured to it. The Warrant Agent shall not be accountable or under any duty or responsibility for the use by the Company of any of the Warrant Certificates authenticated by the Warrant Agent and delivered by it to the Company pursuant to this Agreement or for the application by the Company of the proceeds of the Warrant Certificate. The Warrant Agent shall have no duty or responsibility in case of any default by the Company in the performance of its covenants or agreements contained herein or in the Warrant Certificates or in the case of the receipt of any written demand from a Holder of a Warrant Certificate with respect to such default, including, without limiting the generality of the foregoing, any duty or responsibility to initiate or attempt to initiate any proceedings at law. |
Section 15. Purchase or Consolidation or Change of Name of Warrant Agent. Any corporation into which the Warrant Agent or any successor Warrant Agent may be merged or with which it may be consolidated, or any corporation resulting from any merger or consolidation to which the Warrant Agent or any successor Warrant Agent shall be party, or any corporation succeeding to the corporate trust business of the Warrant Agent or any successor Warrant Agent, shall be the successor to the Warrant Agent under this Agreement without the execution or filing of any paper or any further act on the part of any of the parties hereto, provided that such corporation would be eligible for appointment as a successor Warrant Agent under the provisions of Section 17. In case at the time such successor Warrant Agent shall succeed to the agency created by this Agreement any of the Warrant Certificates shall have been countersigned but not delivered, any such successor Warrant Agent may adopt the countersignature of the predecessor Warrant Agent and deliver such Warrant Certificates so countersigned; and in case at that time any of the Warrant Certificates shall not have been countersigned, any successor Warrant Agent may countersign such Warrant Certificates either in the name of the predecessor Warrant Agent or in the name of the successor Warrant Agent; and in all such cases such Warrant Certificates shall have the full force provided in the Warrant Certificates and in this Agreement.
In case at any time the name of the Warrant Agent shall be changed and at such time any of the Warrant Certificates shall have been countersigned but not delivered, the Warrant Agent may adopt the countersignature under its prior name and deliver such Warrant Certificates so countersigned; and in case at that time any of the Warrant Certificates shall not have been countersigned, the Warrant Agent may countersign such Warrant Certificates either in its prior name or in its changed name; and in all such cases such Warrant Certificates shall have the full force provided in the Warrant Certificates and in this Agreement.
| 8 |
Section 16. Duties of Warrant Agent. The Warrant Agent undertakes the duties and obligations imposed by this Agreement upon the following terms and conditions, by all of which the Company, by its acceptance hereof, shall be bound:
(a) The Warrant Agent may consult with legal counsel reasonably acceptable to the Company (who may be legal counsel for the Company), and the opinion of such counsel shall be full and complete authorization and protection to the Warrant Agent as to any action taken or omitted by it in good faith and in accordance with such opinion.
(b) Whenever in the performance of its duties under this Agreement the Warrant Agent shall deem it necessary or desirable that any fact or matter be proved or established by the Company prior to taking or suffering any action hereunder, such fact or matter (unless other evidence in respect thereof be herein specifically prescribed) may be deemed to be conclusively proved and established by a certificate signed by the Chief Executive Officer, Chief Financial Officer or Vice President of the Company; and such certificate shall be full authentication to the Warrant Agent for any action taken or suffered in good faith by it under the provisions of this Agreement in reliance upon such certificate.
(c) Subject to the limitation set forth in Section 14, the Warrant Agent shall be liable hereunder only for its own gross negligence or willful misconduct, or for a breach by it of this Agreement.
(d) The Warrant Agent shall not be liable for or by reason of any of the statements of fact or recitals contained in this Agreement or in the Warrant Certificate (except its countersignature thereof) by the Company or be required to verify the same, but all such statements and recitals are and shall be deemed to have been made by the Company only.
(e) The Warrant Agent shall not be under any responsibility in respect of the validity of this Agreement or the execution and delivery hereof (except the due execution hereof by the Warrant Agent) or in respect of the validity or execution of any Warrant Certificate (except its countersignature thereof); nor shall it be responsible for any breach by the Company of any covenant or condition contained in this Agreement or in any Warrant Certificate; nor shall it be responsible for the adjustment of the Exercise Price or the making of any change in the number of shares of Common Stock required under the provisions of Section 11 or 13 or responsible for the manner, method or amount of any such change or the ascertaining of the existence of facts that would require any such adjustment or change (except with respect to the exercise of Warrants evidenced by the Warrant Certificates after actual notice of any adjustment of the Exercise Price); nor shall it by any act hereunder be deemed to make any representation or warranty as to the authorization or reservation of any shares of Common Stock to be issued pursuant to this Agreement or any Warrant Certificate or as to whether any shares of Common Stock will, when issued, be duly authorized, validly issued, fully paid and nonassessable.
(f) Each party hereto agrees that it will perform, execute, acknowledge and deliver or cause to be performed, executed, acknowledged and delivered all such further and other acts, instruments and assurances as may reasonably be required by the other party hereto for the carrying out or performing by any party of the provisions of this Agreement.
(g) The Warrant Agent is hereby authorized to accept instructions with respect to the performance of its duties hereunder from the Chief Executive Officer, Chief Financial Officer or Vice President of the Company, and to apply to such officers for advice or instructions in connection with its duties, and it shall not be liable and shall be indemnified and held harmless for any action taken or suffered to be taken by it in good faith in accordance with instructions of any such officer, provided Warrant Agent carries out such instructions without gross negligence or willful misconduct.
(h) The Warrant Agent and any shareholder, director, officer or employee of the Warrant Agent may buy, sell or deal in any of the Warrants or other securities of the Company or become pecuniarily interested in any transaction in which the Company may be interested, or contract with or lend money to the Company or otherwise act as fully and freely as though it were not Warrant Agent under this Agreement. Nothing herein shall preclude the Warrant Agent from acting in any other capacity for the Company or for any other legal entity.
(i) The Warrant Agent may execute and exercise any of the rights or powers hereby vested in it or perform any duty hereunder either itself or by or through its attorney or agents, and the Warrant Agent shall not be answerable or accountable for any act, default, neglect or misconduct of any such attorney or agents or for any loss to the Company resulting from any such act, default, neglect or misconduct, provided reasonable care was exercised in the selection and continued employment thereof.
| 9 |
Section 17. Change of Warrant Agent. The Warrant Agent may resign and be discharged from its duties under this Agreement upon 10 days’ notice in writing sent to the Company. The Company may remove the Warrant Agent or any successor Warrant Agent upon 10 days’ notice in writing, sent to the Warrant Agent or successor Warrant Agent, as the case may be, and to each transfer agent of the Common Stock, and to the Holders of the Warrant Certificates. If the Warrant Agent shall resign or be removed or shall otherwise become incapable of acting, the Company shall appoint a successor to the Warrant Agent. If the Company shall fail to make such appointment within a period of 10 days after such removal or after it has been notified in writing of such resignation or incapacity by the resigning or incapacitated Warrant Agent or by the Holder of a Warrant Certificate (who shall, with such notice, submit his Warrant Certificate for inspection by the Company), then the Holder of any Warrant Certificate may apply to any court of competent jurisdiction for the appointment of a new Warrant Agent, provided that, for purposes of this Agreement, the Company shall be deemed to be the Warrant Agent until a new warrant agent is appointed. Any successor Warrant Agent, whether appointed by the Company or by such a court, shall be a corporation organized and doing business under the laws of the United States or of a state thereof, in good standing, which is authorized under such laws to exercise corporate trust powers and is subject to supervision or examination by federal or state authority and which has at the time of its appointment as Warrant Agent a combined capital and surplus of at least $50,000,000. After appointment, the successor Warrant Agent shall be vested with the same powers, rights, duties and responsibilities as if it had been originally named as Warrant Agent without further act or deed; but the predecessor Warrant Agent shall deliver and transfer to the successor Warrant Agent any property at the time held by it hereunder, and execute and deliver any further assurance, conveyance, act or deed necessary for the purpose. Not later than the effective date of any such appointment, the Company shall file notice thereof in writing with the predecessor Warrant Agent and each transfer agent of the Common Stock, and mail a notice thereof in writing to the Holders of the Warrant Certificates. However, failure to give any notice provided for in this Section 17, or any defect therein, shall not affect the legality or validity of the resignation or removal of the Warrant Agent or the appointment of the successor Warrant Agent, as the case may be.
