SUBSCRIPTION AGREEMENT

The undersigned (the “Subscriber” or the “Purchaser”) hereby subscribes to purchase from Xenonics Holdings, Inc., a Nevada corporation (the “Company”), Senior Secured Notes, on the terms as described herein. The Company is offering hereby (the “Offering”) up to a total aggregate principal amount of $1,000,000 of Senior Secured Convertibles Notes on a “best efforts” basis in the principal amount of $25,000 (the “Convertible Note”).

Article I

SALE OF CONVERTIBLE NOTES

1.1 Sale of Securities; Offering Period

(a) Subject to the terms and conditions hereof and on the basis of the representations and warranties hereinafter set forth, the Company hereby agrees to issue and sell to the Subscriber and the Subscriber agrees to purchase from the Company, upon Closing, the principal amount of Convertible Notes as described herein for the purchase price as set forth on the signature page of this Subscription Agreement executed by the Subscriber. The Convertible Notes are convertible into shares of the Company’s common stock, par value $0.001 per share (the “Common Stock”) or the “Conversion Securities”, as defined below. The principal amount of Convertible Notes purchased hereunder by a Subscriber shall be as specified on the signature page of this Subscription Agreement executed by the Subscriber. The Company may reject any subscription in whole or in part. The Company is offering the Convertible Notes on a “best efforts” basis as the total Offering amount. This Offering is only being made to “accredited Subscribers” (as defined in Rule 501 under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”)) in reliance upon an exemption from registration under Section 4(2) of the Securities Act and/or Regulation D promulgated thereunder, and on similar exemptions under applicable state laws. The Convertible Notes may be purchased, in part or their entirety, by officers and directors of the Company or representatives of the Selling Agent (as defined below).

(b) The Securities are being offered during the offering period commencing on the date set forth on the cover page of this Subscription Agreement and terminating on the earlier of (a) 5:00 p.m. (Los Angeles, California time) on July 31, 2014 or (b) the date on which all the Securities authorized for sale have been sold (the “Offering Period”). The Company reserves the right to terminate or close the offering at any time.

(c) The Convertible Notes are convertible at the option of the holder shares of the Company’s Common Stock (the “Conversion Shares”) at the initial conversion rate of $0.07 per share. The conversion rate is subject to adjustment as described in the Convertible Notes, including in the event that the Company issued additional shares of Common Stock or other equity securities at a purchase price (or exercise price or conversion price for Convertible Securities) below the initial conversion rate. The principal amount of the Convertible Notes shall bear interest at the rate of 13% per annum and shall have maturity date of there 3 years from the original issue date. The Convertible Notes are secured obligations of the Company and will be secured by a first priority lien and security interest on the Company’s assets, which lien will be evidenced by the Security Agreement annexed hereto (the “Security Agreement. A summary of the material terms and conditions of the Convertible Notes is set forth below under the caption “Summary of Offering.”

1.2 High Risk Investment. This investment is speculative and should only be made by Subscribers who can afford the risk of loss of their entire investment. The proceeds from the sale of the Convertible Notes will be used to fund short term capital needs to enable the Company to maintain operations (including certain limited payments to officers for accrued salaries) until additional funding is received. The Company has significant outstanding debt represented by promissory notes which is due and payable prior to the maturity date of the Convertible Notes and although a substantial potion of the creditors holding these outstanding obligations will be required to agree to forgo collection efforts, for a period of time, it is possible that the Company’s revenue and income will be unable to generate sufficient funds to repay all of the outstanding debt, including the Convertible Notes. The Company may be required to sell additional securities (whether debt or equity or equity linked) after the completion of this transaction to further fund its operations. Unless the Company is successful in completing these additional funding transactions, or is able to generate sufficient revenue from operations, the Company may be forced to significantly curtail its operations, the Convertible Notes may remain unpaid and Subscribers will lose their entire investment.

1.3 Selling Agents; Certain Expenses. The Company has engaged Sandlapper Securities LLC as its exclusive selling agent (the “Selling Agent”), for the sale of the Convertible Notes and will pay commissions and other compensation to the Selling Agent based on the subscriptions procured by it in this Offering. The Company will pay commissions to the Selling Agent of 9.0% of the gross proceeds from the sale of the Securities in this Offering to subscribers procured by Sandlapper Securities LLC and reimburse Sandlapper Securities LLC for their reasonable expenses up to $15,000. The Company will also issue to the Selling Agent warrants (the “Agent Warrants”) to purchase such number of shares of Common Stock of the Company as equals 25% of the number of shares of Common Stock based upon the principal amount of Convertible Notes and the conversion price of the Convertible Notes sold in the Offering to Subscribers procured by the Selling Agents. The Agent Warrants will be exercisable for a period of five (5) years at an exercise price of $0.12 per share. Officers, directors and affiliates of the Selling Agent and the Company may purchase Convertible Notes in the Offering. The Company will also indemnify the Selling Agent against certain liabilities, including liabilities under the Securities Act of 1933, and liabilities arising from breaches of representations and warranties contained in the agreement, or to contribute to payments that it may be required to make in respect of such liabilities.

Summary of Offering

 

Securities Offered:    The Company is offering a total of $1,000,000 of its Convertible Notes on a “best efforts” basis as to the entire Offering. As used herein the Convertible Notes and Conversion Shares may be collectively referred to as the “Securities.”
Purchase Price:    The Company is selling the Convertible Notes in this Offering at a Purchase Price of $25,000 principal amount. The Company may accept subscriptions for partial Convertible Notes in its sole discretion.
Offering Period:    The Securities are being offered during the Offering Period commencing on the date set forth on the cover page of this Subscription Agreement and terminating on the earlier of (a) 5:00 p.m. (Los Angeles, California time) on July 31, 2014 or (b) the date on which maximum principal amount of Convertible Notes authorized for sale have been sold. The Company reserves the right to terminate or close the offering at any time.
Summary of Convertible Notes:
        Principal Amount:    Up to an aggregate principal amount of $1,000,000.

Prepayment/

Redemption:

   The Convertible Notes may be prepaid in whole or in part at any time at the option of the Company between the first anniversary and second anniversary thereafter at 110% of the principal amount plus accrued and unpaid interest. Holders of the Convertible Notes shall have the option to convert principal and unpaid interest into Common Stock at their option upon receipt of any prepayment notice received from the Company. After the second anniversary the Convertible Notes can be prepaid without any prepayment penalty under the same terms.

Conversion Price:

   At the holder’s option the Convertible Notes will be convertible into shares of Common Stock at an initial conversion rate of $0.07 per share.

Anti-dilution protection:

   The conversion rate of the Convertible Notes will be adjusted on a “full ratchet” basis in the event that the Company issues additional shares of Common Stock or common stock equivalents (other than for stock option grants and other customary exclusions) at a purchase price less than the initial conversion rate of the Convertible Notes. In addition, the Convertible Notes will be adjusted proportionally in the event of stock splits, stock dividends, combinations, recapitalizations, and similar events.

Security Interest:

   The outstanding principal and interest outstanding under the Convertible Notes, and all other amounts due thereunder, shall be secured by a first priority lien on the assets of the Company as set forth in the Security Agreement which lien is intended to be pari passu with all other secured Indebtedness. Holders of the Convertible Notes shall enter into an intercreditor agreement (“Intercreditor Agreement”) with other secured indebtedness. The Company has approximately $2,375,000 (“Prior Debt”) amount of indebtedness secured by a lien on the Company’s assets which is intended to be pari passu which the lien granted in connection with the Convertible Notes.
Registration Rights:    Subscribers shall not be entitled to registration rights and will be required to rely upon Rule 144 with respect to the resale of any shares of Common Stock upon conversion of the Convertible Notes. The Company, shall at its cost and expense, provide on behalf of investor, any legal opinions with respect to sales, pursuant to Rule 144, of Conversion Shares as may be required by the Company’s stock transfer agent.
Use of Proceeds:    The proceeds will be used to fund working capital and for general corporate purposes. No more than an aggregate of $50,000 of the proceeds will be used to repay accrued salaries or expenses of officers or directors or affiliates thereof. After the final Closing, any such remaining accrued, but unpaid salaries and expenses shall be paid solely from positive cash flow from operations of the Company and not from any proceeds of the offering.
Escrow; No Offering Minimum:    The Company and the Selling Agent have established a non-interest bearing escrow account for the deposit of funds in this Offering. However, each Subscriber acknowledges and understands that there is no minimum Offering amount necessary to conduct a closing for the funds to be released to the Company. The escrow account will be established between the Company and the Selling Agent at California Bank & Trust. Funds may be released to the Company and closings held, from time to time, as determined by the Company and the Selling Agent at any time during the Offering Period.

Subscription Procedure:    In order to subscribe for the Securities, each prospective subscriber must complete, execute and deliver to the Company a signature page evidencing such prospective subscriber’s execution of this Subscription Agreement along with a completed confidential Purchaser Questionnaire and a copy of the Security Agreement. The Agent appointed (Sandlapper Securities LLC on behalf of the subscribers) under the Security Agreement will execute the Intercreditor Agreement on behalf of Subscribers.

Restrictions on

Transferability:

   There is no public market for the Convertible Notes and it is not anticipated that a market will develop after this Offering. Further, the Conversion Shares have not been registered under the Securities Act or under the securities laws of the United States or of any state or other jurisdiction. As a result, the Convertible Notes and Conversion Shares (collectively, sometimes referred to as the “Securities”) are restricted securities under the Securities Act and they may not be transferred without registration under the Securities Act, or, if applicable, the securities laws of any state or other jurisdiction, unless in the opinion of counsel to the Company, such registration is not then required because of the availability of an exemption from registration.
Investment:    An investment in the Company is highly speculative, and each investor bears the risk of losing his, her or its entire investment. All Purchasers must complete and execute a Subscription Agreement, the Security Agreement, and a confidential Purchaser Questionnaire. Purchasers must set forth representations in such documents that he, she or it is purchasing the Securities for investment purposes only and without a view toward distribution. The Securities are suitable investments only for sophisticated Subscribers for whom an investment in the Securities does not constitute a complete investment program and who fully understand, are willing to assume, and who have the financial resources necessary to withstand, the risks involved in investing in the Securities and who can bear the potential loss of their entire investment. The Securities are being offered and sold only to persons who qualify as “accredited Subscribers,” as defined under Regulation D of the Securities Act.
Risk Factors:    An investment in the Securities involves a high degree of risk. Purchasers of the Securities should carefully review the factors under the heading “Risk Factors” herein and in the Company’s reports filed under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended which are incorporated by reference.

1.4 Escrow and No Minimum Offering Amount; Multiple Closings.

Each Subscriber acknowledges and agrees that all subscription amounts will be deposited in a non-interest bearing account established by the Company and the Selling Agent at California Bank & Trust, but that there is no minimum Offering amount (or other conditions other than normal closing conditions) necessary to conduct a closing for the funds to be released to the Company. Accordingly, funds may be released to the Company and closings held, from time to time, as determined by the Company at any time during the Offering Period. During the Offering Period, subscription funds will be placed into the escrow account and closings will be held from time to time up to the sale of the maximum amount of Securities described in this Subscription Agreement or the expiration of the Offering Period. In the event a subscription is not accepted in whole or in part by the Company, the full or ratable amount, as the case may be, of any subscription payment received will be promptly refunded to the Subscriber without deduction therefrom and without interest thereon. In the event a subscription is accepted by the Company, in whole or in part, and subject to the conditions set forth in this Subscription Agreement, a closing may be held from time to time by the Company and the Company shall issue and deliver to subscriber, the Convertible Note dated the date of closing on such funds, and a fully executed copy of this Subscription Agreement and the Security Agreement.

At each closing of the transactions contemplated herein (the “Closing”), the Subscribers shall purchase, severally and not jointly, and the Company shall issue and sell, to the Subscribers the amount of Securities as indicated on the signature page of each Subscriber’s subscription agreement, up to the total Offering amount. The Securities may be purchased, in part or their entirety, by officers and directors of the Company or representatives of the Selling Agent. Each Closing shall occur on the date determined by the Company and the Selling Agent at such times and/or locations as the Company may set. A final Closing shall be held either on the date of which this Offering is fully subscribed or the last date during the Offering Period on which the Company accepts a subscription, whichever is latest. This Offering shall terminate on the earlier of (a) 5:00 p.m. (New York time) on July 31, 2014 or (b) the date on which all the Securities authorized for sale have been sold, unless sooner terminated by the Company, in its sole discretion. Each Closing of the transactions contemplated hereunder shall be deemed to occur at the offices of Becker & Poliakoff, LLP, 45 Broadway, 8th Floor, New York, New York 10006, or at such other place as shall be mutually agreeable to the parties, at 12 noon, New York time, on such date or dates as may be mutually agreeable to the parties.

1.5 Closing Matters. At each Closing the following actions shall be taken:

(a) each Subscriber shall deliver its Purchase Price in immediately available United States funds to the escrow account established for the Offering;

(b) the Company shall deliver the Convertible Notes subscribed for to each Subscriber; and

(c) each of the Company and the Subscriber shall deliver to the other signed copies of this Agreement and the Security Agreement and the Subscriber shall deliver to the Selling Agent a completed and executed Purchaser Questionnaire.

1.6 Use of Proceeds. The Company intends to use the proceeds derived from this Offering to satisfy its working capital requirements and general corporate purposes. No more than an aggregate of $50,000 of the proceeds will be used to repay accrued salaries or expenses of officers or directors or affiliates thereof. After the Closing, any such remaining accrued, but unpaid salaries and expenses shall be paid solely from positive cash flow from operations of the Company and not from any proceeds of the offering. Management reserves the right to utilize the net proceeds of the Offering in a manner in the best interests of the Company. Accordingly, management will have broad discretion in the application of the proceeds of the Offering. The amount of the net proceeds that will be invested in particular areas of the Company’s business will depend upon future economic conditions and business opportunities. To the extent that the Company continues to incur losses from operations, such losses will be funded from its general funds, including the net proceeds of this Offering. As reported in its Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the quarter ended March 31, 2014, filed on May 15, 2014, the Company had total liabilities of approximately $3,499,000, including accounts payable of approximately $591,000. Holders of not less than $2,375,000 of outstanding notes (“Prior Debt”) are entitled, under the existing terms of such debt, to be repaid in October and December of 2014, which is prior to the maturity date of the Convertible Notes. The holders of such Prior Debt have entered into the Intercreditor Agreement with Subscribers in this Offering (the security agent shall execute the Intercreditor Agreement on behalf of Subscribers) whereby the holders of the Prior Debt shall agree to postpone any collection efforts with respect to such Prior Debt except upon consent of at least 75% of the principal amount of all the Prior Debt and the Convertible Notes, considered as a single class. Further, under the Interecreditor Agreement, the holders of the Prior Debt and the Convertible Notes shall share ratably as secured creditors in the assets of the Company upon any default. Additionally under the Intercreditor Agreement, (i) no interest payments may be made on the Prior Debt or the convertible Notes unless both receive interest payments, (ii) so long as the Company generates (a) at least $1,000,000 of revenue during any fiscal quarter of the Company, and (b) positive EBITDA during such quarter, the Company may, in its discretion, pay down the principal balance under the Prior Debt within 45 days after the end of any such quarter in an amount not to exceed 25% of such positive EBITDA on a cumulative basis; provided, however, that no principal payments may be made unless the Company has free cash of at least $200,000. For purposes of this Agreement, (a) “EBITDA” means, for any period in question, Company’s consolidated net income for such period plus, to the extent deducted in determining consolidated net income for such period, interest expense, income tax expense, and depreciation and amortization, and (b) “free cash” means cash of the Company net of any principal payments that are contemplated to be made by the Company.

1.9 Risk Factors

Investing in the Company’s Convertible Notes involves risks and the Company’s operating results and financial condition have varied in the past and may in the future vary significantly depending on a number of factors. Investors should consider the following risk factors in evaluating whether to invest in the Securities. However, the risks described below are not the only risks facing the Company. In addition to these risk factors and other risks described elsewhere in this Agreement, including the Disclosure Schedule to this Agreement, investors should carefully consider the risk factors described in the Company’s SEC Reports, each of which has been filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission and which are all incorporated by reference in this Agreement. These risks could have a material adverse effect on the Company’s business, results of operations, financial condition or liquidity and cause the Company’s actual operating results to materially differ from those contained in forward-looking statements made in this Agreement, in the Company’s SEC Reports and elsewhere by management. Before making an investment decision, investor should carefully consider these risks as well as other information contained or incorporated by reference in this Agreement. Additional risks and uncertainties not currently known to the Company or that the Company currently deems to be immaterial also may materially adversely affect the Company’s business, financial condition and/or operating results.

General Risks Related to the Company’s Business

The Company has only Limited Revenue and has a history of Losses.

Revenues for the quarter ended March 31, 2014 were $16,000 compared to revenues of $961,000 for the quarter ended March 31, 2013. In the quarter ended March 31, 2014, 100% of revenues were from sales of the Company’s NightHunter products to the military (U.S. Army, U.S. Marines and military distributors). In the quarter ended March 31, 2013, 98% of revenues were from sales of the NightHunter products to the military. The Company had, in the quarter ended March 31, 2014 net losses of $576,000 compared to a net loss of $293,000 for the quarter ended March 31, 2013. Unless the amount of revenue and net profit increase, we will be unable to repay the Convertible Notes and Subscribers may lose their investment.

The Company’s financial statements include a “Going Concern” qualification.

The Company’s financial statements for the three and six months ended March 31, 2014 and for the fiscal year ended September 30, 2013, include an explanatory paragraph relating to the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern. Based on the amount of working capital that on hand on March 31, 2014 and the amount of unfilled and potential orders that are pending, management is optimistic about its ability to obtain sales orders and/or additional equity or debt financing to continue to support planned operations and satisfy obligations. However, due to the nature of the Company’s business, and its dependence upon US and Foreign military spending, business, there is no assurance that the Company will receive new orders if ever or when anticipated.

Risks Related to this Offering

This Offering may result in dilution to common shareholders.

Dilution of the per share value of the Company’s Common Stock could result from the issuance of the Securities in this Offering. If this Offering is fully subscribed and excluding the Agent Warrants, the Company will issue an aggregate of $1,000,000 of Convertible Notes, which are initially convertible into a total of 14,285,714 Conversion Shares. In addition, the Company may be required to issue additional Conversion Shares pursuant to the anti-dilution provision of the Convertible Notes. The issuance of a substantial number of shares of the Company’s Common Stock will dilute the equity interests of the Company’s current stockholders.

 

11


The Company does not currently have necessary Revenue or Income to Repay its Outstanding Debt; Certain Proceeds will be used to repay Officers Salaries; Subscribers of Convertible Notes will be limited in rights to collect upon collateral in the event of default or non payment.

The Company has secured debt and other liabilities in excess of its ability to pay currently. The Company’s primary goal is to use the funds from this Offering to help it obtain additional contracts and revenue although the Company may use up to $50,000 for officers’ salaries. Holders of the Convertible Notes will be required, under the terms of the Intercreditor Agreement, to forego certain rights as secured creditors or share in assets of the Company with other secured creditors, and this may result in less proceeds being available, if the Company defaults under the Convertible Notes, to repay the holders of the Convertible Notes in full.

The Company will require additional financing.

The Company anticipates that it will need to raise additional financing following the completion of this Offering. The net proceeds from the sale of the Convertible Notes will not satisfy all of our working capital needs. Further, the Company outstanding debt of approximately $[2,385,000] as of June 1, 2014, all of which has due date for payment prior to the maturity date of the Convertible Notes. The Company would be unable to repay such Prior Debt with the proceeds of this Offering and may be unable to generate income in an amount necessary to repay the Prior Debt of the Convertible Notes. If the Company is unable to generate sufficient income or cancel the due dates or terms of the Prior Debt, it may also be required to raise additional funds. Accordingly, the purchasers of the Securities should expect to experience substantial dilution in their percentage of ownership of the Company and, possibly, the value of their investment. Any future offerings will dilute the percentage ownership of the Company for purchasers of Securities in this Offering. The Company currently has no commitments or arrangement with respect to any additional financings, and cannot provide any assurances as to whether such additional financing will be available or as to the terms upon which it may be available. If the Company raises additional funds by selling common stock or convertible securities, the ownership of the Company’s existing shareholders will be diluted

The Securities offered hereby are “restricted securities” and may not be transferred or resold absent registration or an exemption therefrom.

The Securities offered hereby will be issued pursuant to an exemption from registration under the Securities Act and therefore have not been and will not be registered under that act or any applicable state securities laws. Consequently, the Securities may be sold, transferred, or otherwise disposed of by the Purchasers hereunder only if, among other things, the Securities are registered or, in the opinion of counsel acceptable to us, registration is not required under the Securities Act or any applicable state securities laws. Accordingly, Subscribers will need to rely on exemptions to the registration requirements under the Securities Act and the “blue sky” laws in order to be able to resell the Securities offered hereby.

Purchasers of the Company’s Securities must be aware of the long-term nature of their investment and be able to bear the economic risks of their investment for an indefinite period of time. The Securities have not been registered under the Securities Act or the securities or “blue sky” laws of any state. The right of any Subscriber to sell, transfer, pledge or otherwise dispose of the Securities offered herein will be limited by the Securities Act and state securities laws and the regulations promulgated thereunder. Accordingly, under the Securities Act, the Securities offered herein may not be resold unless a registration statement is filed and becomes effective or an exemption from registration is available. The Company is not under any affirmative obligation to file a registration statement covering the Securities and even if the Company did file a registration statement covering the Securities, there can be no assurance that any such registration statement would be declared effective. Further, there can be no assurance that a liquid market for the Company’s Common Stock will be sustained. Rule 144 promulgated under the Securities Act requires, among other conditions, a holding period prior to the resale of securities acquired in a non-public offering without having to satisfy the registration requirements of the Securities Act. There can be no assurance that the Company will fulfill in the future any reporting requirements under the Exchange Act, or disseminate to the public any current financial or other information concerning the Company, as required by Rule 144 as one of the conditions of its availability.

No assurances that enough Securities will be sold to pursue business strategies or to repay the Convertible Notes.

No person or entity is committed to purchase any of the Securities offered pursuant to this Offering, and no assurance is or can be given that all or any of the Securities offered hereunder will be sold. Further, although the Company has established an escrow account for the subscription amounts from Subscribers, no minimum amounts of Securities are required to be sold. Proceeds received from the Offering will be available to the Company upon receipt, which the Company intends to promptly utilize in accordance with the terms of the “Use of Proceeds” section of this Subscription Agreement, including the payment of outstanding obligations. The application of the proceeds of the Offering to the payment of current obligations would reduce the ability of the Company to utilize such proceeds for other business purposes. In the event that the Company is unable to sell all or a significant portion of the Securities pursuant to the Offering, the Company may have insufficient capital after making the aforesaid payments to proceed with the Company’s business strategies and thus may be forced to seek additional capital sooner than would have been the case had the Offering been fully subscribed. The Company also may need additional funds from loans and/or the sale of securities to repay the Convertible Notes at their maturity date. There can be no assurance that such additional funds will be available to the Company when required on terms acceptable to the Company. The Company’s inability to obtain financing on favorable terms could restrict its operations and could materially harm an investment in the Company. The Company has not entered into any agreement or letter of intent for the Next Financing or any other subsequent financing. In the event the Next Financing is not consummated or other financing obtained, the Company may not have adequate funds available to repay the Convertible Notes.

This Offering is being made on a best efforts basis and there is no minimum amount of funds required to hold a closing.

This Offering is being made on a “best efforts” rather than a firm commitment basis. No commitment exists by anyone, including the Selling Agent, to purchase all or any part of the Securities being offered pursuant to this Offering. There can be no assurance that any Securities offered hereby will be sold. Although the Company has established an escrow account for this Offering, there is no “minimum offering” amount required in this Offering and closings may be held and funds released to the Company at such times and in such amounts, up to the maximum Offering amount, as determined by the Company and Selling Agent in their discretion once the holders of Prior Debt have executed the Intercreditor Agreement.

No independent counsel for Purchasers.

Each of the Company and the Selling Agent has employed its own legal counsel in connection with this Offering. The Purchasers have not been represented by independent counsel in connection with the preparation of this Subscription Agreement or the terms of this Offering and no investigation of the merits or fairness of this Offering has been conducted on behalf of the Purchasers. Company Counsel has not conducted due diligence on behalf of the Purchasers. Prospective Subscribers should consult with their own legal, tax and financial advisors with respect to the Offering made hereby.

The Company’s management will have broad discretion with respect to the use of the proceeds of this Offering.

The Company has highlighted the intended use of proceeds for this Offering, including repayment of outstanding accounts payable. No proceeds shall be used to repay indebtedness or accrued expenses of officers or directors or affiliates thereof; provided however, the Company may utilize up to $50,000 to pay officers and directors accrued salaries and expenses. The Company’s management will have broad discretion as to the application of these net proceeds and could use them for purposes other than those contemplated at the time of this Offering. The Company’s note holders may not agree with the manner in which the Company’s management chooses to allocate and spend the net proceeds.

Availability of Securities Act exemption.

The Securities are being offered pursuant to various available exemptions from registration from U.S. federal and state securities law registration requirements. It is intended that the offering of the Convertible Notes will be conducted in a manner so as to comply with Section 4(2) of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended and Rule 506 (b) of Regulation D promulgated by the SEC. Compliance with such laws, which must be met in order for such exemptions to be available to us, is highly technical and to some extent involves elements beyond the Company’s control. If the proper exemptions do not ultimately prove to be available, we could be subject to the claims of all or only some of the Company’s shareholders for violations of federal or state securities laws, which could materially adversely affect the Company’s profitability or operations or make an investment in the Securities worthless.

Risks Related to the Company’s Securities

Exercise or conversion of outstanding options, warrants and shares of convertible preferred stock will dilute stockholders and could decrease the market price of the Company’s common stock.

As of May 1, 2014, there were issued and outstanding options to purchase 2,305,000 shares of Common Stock and warrants to purchase an aggregate of 7,187,000 additional shares of Common Stock. To the extent that these securities are exercised or converted, dilution to the Company’s shareholders will occur. Further, there are no outstanding shares of Common Stock pursuant to unvested restricted stock awards or any additional shares of Common Stock or warrants to certain third parties pursuant to consulting or other business arrangements that are not described in the Company’s SEC filings. The exercise and conversion of these securities by the holders and issuance of these additional shares of Common Stock may adversely affect the market price of the Company’s Common Stock and the terms under which we could obtain additional equity capital.

We do not anticipate paying dividends in the foreseeable future, and the lack of dividends may have a negative effect on the price of the Company’s Common Stock.

The Company currently intends to retain our future earnings, if any, to support operations and to finance expansion and therefore, the Company does not anticipate paying any cash dividends on its Company’s Common Stock in the foreseeable future.

The Company’s Common Stock is traded on the OTC Bulletin Board, which may be detrimental to Subscribers.

The Company’s Common Stock is currently traded on the OTC Bulletin Board under the symbol XNNH. Stocks traded on the OTC Bulletin Board generally have limited trading volume and are therefore susceptible to exhibiting a wide spread between the bid/ask quotations. The Company cannot predict whether a more active market for the Company’s Common Stock will develop in the future. In the absence of an active trading market, Subscribers may have difficulty buying and selling the Company’s Common Stock or obtaining market quotations; market visibility for the Company’s Common Stock may be limited; and a lack of visibility for the Company’s Common Stock may have a depressive effect on the market price for the Company’s Common Stock.

 

14


Shares of the Company’s Common Stock are subject to restrictions on sales by broker-dealers and penny stock rules, which may be detrimental to Subscribers; Penny Stock Disclosure

The Company’s Common Stock is subject to Rules 15g-1 through 15g-9 under the Exchange Act, which imposes certain sales practice requirements on broker-dealers who sell the Company’s Common Stock to persons other than established customers and “accredited Subscribers” (as defined in Rule 501(c) of the Securities Act). For transactions covered by this rule, a broker-dealer must make a special suitability determination for the purchaser and have received the purchaser’s written consent to the transaction prior to the sale. This rule adversely affects the ability of broker-dealers to sell the Company’s Common Stock and purchasers of the Company’s Common Stock to sell their shares.

Additionally, the Company’s Common Stock is subject to SEC regulations applicable to “penny stocks.” Penny stocks include any non-Nasdaq equity security that has a market price of less than $5.00 per share, subject to certain exceptions. Penny stocks are low-priced shares of small companies. Penny stocks may trade infrequently – which means that it may be difficult to sell penny stock shares once a Subscriber owns them. Because it may also be difficult to find quotations for penny stocks, they may be impossible to accurately price. Investors in penny stock should be prepared for the possibility that they may lose their whole investment. For the 52 weeks ending June 20, 2014, the Company’s had a high of $0.20 and a low of $0.05 per share and on June 20, 2014, the Company’s Common Stock had a closing price of $0.09 per share. The regulations require that prior to any non-exempt buy/sell transaction in a penny stock, a disclosure schedule proscribed by the SEC relating to the penny stock market must be delivered by a broker-dealer to the purchaser of such penny stock. This disclosure must include the amount of commissions payable to both the broker-dealer and the registered representative and current price quotations for the Company’s Common Stock. The regulations also require that monthly statements be sent to holders of a penny stock that disclose recent price information for the penny stock and information of the limited market for penny stocks. These requirements adversely affect the market liquidity of the Company’s Common Stock. Under U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission rules, the Selling Agent is required to provide purchasers of penny stocks the following disclosure statement available at: http://www.sec.gov/investor/schedule15g.htm. The link explains some of the risks of investing in penny stocks. The Company and the Selling Agent advise each Subscriber to read it carefully before agreeing to purchase or sell a penny stock.

There are outstanding a significant number of shares available for future sales under Rule 144.

As of May 1, 2014, of the 24,975,929 issued and outstanding shares of the Company’s Common Stock, approximately 1,061,935 shares may be deemed “restricted shares” and, in the future, may be sold in compliance with Rule 144 under the securities Act of 1933, as amended. In general, under Rule 144 under the Securities Act, a person (or persons whose shares are aggregated) who is not deemed to have been an affiliate of ours at any time during the three months preceding a sale, and who has beneficially owned restricted securities within the meaning of Rule 144 for at least six months (including any period of consecutive ownership of preceding non-affiliated holders) would be entitled to sell those shares, subject only to the availability of current public information about us. A non-affiliated person who has beneficially owned restricted securities within the meaning of Rule 144 for at least one year would be entitled to sell those shares without regard to the provisions of Rule 144. A person (or persons whose shares are aggregated) who is deemed to be an affiliate of ours and who has beneficially owned restricted securities within the meaning of Rule 144 for at least six months would be entitled to sell within any three-month period a number of shares that does not exceed the greater of one percent of the then outstanding shares of the Company’s common stock or the average weekly trading volume of the Company’s common stock during the Company’s calendar weeks preceding such sale. Such sales are also subject to certain manner of sale provisions, notice requirements and the availability of current public information about us. Possible or actual sales of the Company’s Common Stock by certain of the Company’s present shareholders under Rule 144 may, in the future, have a depressive effect on the price of the Company’s Common Stock in any market which may develop for such shares. Such sales at that time may have a depressive effect on the price of the Company’s Common Stock in the open market.

 

15


A substantial number of shares may be sold in the market following this offering, which will further dilute the Company’s common shareholders and may depress the market price for the Company’s common stock.

Sales of a substantial number of shares of the Company’s Common Stock in the public market following this offering could cause the market price of the Company’s common stock to decline. If the total Offering is completed, the Company will issue to Subscribers (a) an aggregate of $1,000,000 principal amount of Convertible Notes, which are initially convertible into 14,285,714 Conversion Shares. The Company will also issue to the Selling Agent a maximum of 3,571,429 Agent Warrants. Based on a total of 24,975,929 shares of Common Stock outstanding, if the total Offering is completed and the Convertible Notes converted into Conversion Shares at a conversion rate of $0.07 per share, the total number of outstanding shares of Common Stock would be 39,261,643 shares, assuming no interest on the principal amount of the Convertible Notes or exercise of outstanding options or warrants or of Agent Warrants. The issuance of a substantial number of the Company’s Common Stock will dilute the equity interests of the Company’s current stockholders. Further, as a substantial majority of the outstanding shares of the Company’s Common Stock are, tradable without restriction or further registration under the Securities Act of 1933 unless these shares are purchased by affiliates, the issuance of the Common Stock offered hereby may further depress the market price of the Company’s Common Stock.

Preferred Stock as an anti-takeover device.

The Company is authorized to issue 5,000,000 shares of preferred stock, $0.001 par value. Presently, the Company does not have any shares of preferred stock outstanding. The preferred stock may be issued in series from time to time with such designation, voting and other rights, preferences and limitations as the Company’s Board of Directors may determine by resolution. Unless the nature of a particular transaction and applicable statutes require such approval, the Board of Directors has the authority to issue these shares without stockholder approval subject to approval of the holders of the Company’s preferred stock. The issuance of preferred stock may have the effect of delaying or preventing a change in control of the Company without any further action by the Company’s stockholders.

These statements relate to future events or future predictions, including events or predictions relating to the Company’s future financial performance, and are generally identifiable by use of the use of forward-looking terminology such as “believes”, “expects”, “may”, “will”, “should”, “plan”, “intend”, or “anticipates” or the negative thereof or other variations thereon or comparable terminology, or by discussion of strategy that involve risks an uncertainties.

(A) The Purchaser acknowledges and agrees that (i) the offering and sale of the Securities are intended to be exempt from registration under the Securities Act by virtue of Section 4(2) of the Securities Act and/or Regulation D promulgated thereunder, (ii) the Securities have not been registered under the Securities Act and (iii) that the Company has represented to the Purchaser (assuming the veracity of the representations of the Purchaser made herein and in the Questionnaire annexed hereto at Exhibit A) that the Securities have been offered and sold by the Company in reliance upon an exemption from registration provided in Section 4(2) of the Securities Act and Regulation D thereunder. In accordance therewith and in furtherance thereof, the Purchaser represents and warrants to and agrees with the Company that it is an accredited investor (as defined in Rule 501 promulgated under the Securities Act) for the reason indicated in Article I of this Subscription Agreement.

(B) The Purchaser hereby represents and warrants that the Purchaser is acquiring the Securities hereunder for its own account for investment and not with a view to distribution, and with no present intention of distributing the Securities or selling the Securities for distribution. The Purchaser understands that the Securities are being sold to the Purchaser in a transaction which is exempt from the registration requirements of the Securities Act. Accordingly, the Purchaser acknowledges that it has been advised that the Securities have not been registered under the Securities Act and are being sold by the Company in reliance upon the veracity of the Purchaser’s representations contained herein and upon the exemption from the registration requirements provided by the Securities Act and the securities laws of all applicable states. The Purchaser’s acquisition of the Securities shall constitute a confirmation of the foregoing representation and warranty and understanding thereof.

 

21


(C) The Purchaser (or its “Purchaser Representative”, if any) has such knowledge and experience in financial and business matters as is required for evaluating the merits and risks of making this investment, and the Purchaser or its Purchaser Representative(s) has received such information requested by the Purchaser concerning the business, management and financial affairs of the Company in order to evaluate the merits and risks of making this investment. Further, the Purchaser acknowledges that the Purchaser has had the opportunity to ask questions of, and receive answers from, the officers of the Company concerning the terms and conditions of this investment and to obtain information relating to the organization, operation and business of the Company and of the Company’s contracts, agreements and obligations or needed to verify the accuracy of any information contained herein or any other information about the Company. Except as set forth in this Subscription Agreement, no representation or warranty is made by the Company to induce the Purchaser to make this investment, and any representation or warranty not made herein or therein is specifically disclaimed and no information furnished to the Purchaser or the Purchaser’s advisor(s) in connection with the sale were in any way inconsistent with the information stated herein. The Purchaser further understands and acknowledges that no person has been authorized by the Company to make any representations or warranties concerning the Company, including as to the accuracy or completeness of the information contained in this Subscription Agreement.

(D) The Purchaser is making the foregoing representations and warranties with the intent that they may be relied upon by the Company in determining the suitability of the sale of the Securities to the Purchaser for purposes of federal and state securities laws. Accordingly, each Purchaser represents and warrants that the information stated herein is true, accurate and complete, and agrees to notify and supply corrective information promptly to the Company as provided above if any of such information becomes inaccurate or incomplete. The Purchaser has completed this Agreement and Questionnaire, has delivered it herewith and represents and warrants that it is accurate and true in all respects and that it accurately and completely sets forth the financial condition of the Purchaser on the date hereof. The Purchaser has no reason to expect there will be any material adverse change in its financial condition and will advise the Company of any such changes occurring prior to the closing or termination of the Offering.

(E) The Purchaser is not subscribing for any of the Securities as a result of or subsequent to any advertisement, article, notice or other communication published in any newspaper, magazine or similar media or broadcast over television or radio, any seminar or meeting, or any solicitation of a subscription by a person not previously known to the Purchaser in connection with investments in Securities generally.

(F) The Purchaser has received or obtained access to certain information regarding the Company, including this Subscription Agreement, the SEC Reports and other accompanying documents of the Company receipt of which is hereby acknowledged. The Purchaser has carefully reviewed all information provided to it and has carefully evaluated and understands the risks described therein related to the Company and an investment in the Company, and understands and has relied only on the information provided to it in writing by the Company relating to this investment. No agent prepared any of the information to be delivered to prospective Subscribers in connection with this transaction. Prospective Subscribers are advised to conduct their own review of the business, properties and affairs of the Company before subscribing to purchase the Securities.

(G) The Purchaser acknowledges and agrees that investing in the Company’s Securities involves risks and that the Company’s operating results and financial condition have varied in the past and may in the future vary significantly depending on a number of factors. The Purchaser acknowledges and agrees that it has evaluated and understands the risks regarding investing in the Company’s securities, including the risks identified in this Subscription Agreement and the Risk Factors described in the Company’s SEC Reports. The Purchaser agrees that the risks described herein and in such SEC Reports are not the only risks facing the Company. The Purchaser agrees that these risks could have a material adverse effect on the Company’s business, results of operations, financial condition or liquidity and cause its actual operating results to materially differ from those contained in any forward-looking statements made in this Subscription Agreement, in the Company’s SEC Reports and elsewhere by management. Before making an investment decision, each Purchaser acknowledges that it has been advised that it should carefully consider these risks as well as other information contained or incorporated by reference in this Subscription Agreement. Additional risks and uncertainties not currently known to the Company or that it currently deems to be immaterial also may materially adversely affect the Company’s business, financial condition and/or operating results.

 

22


(H) The Purchaser also understands and agrees that, although the Company will use its best efforts to keep the information provided in this Subscription Agreement strictly confidential, the Company or its counsel may present this Subscription Agreement and the information provided in answer to it to such parties as they may deem advisable if called upon to establish the availability under any federal or state securities laws of an exemption from registration of the private placement or if the contents thereof are relevant to any issue in any action, suit or proceeding to which the Company or its affiliates is a party, or by which they are or may be bound or as otherwise required by law or regulatory authority. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Company shall not publicly disclose the name of any Purchaser, or include the name of any Purchaser in any filing with the Commission without the prior written consent of such Purchaser, except as required by federal securities law in connection with the disclosure of the transactions contemplated by this Subscription Agreement and otherwise to the extent such disclosure is required by law or regulation, in which case the Company shall provide the Purchasers with prior notice of such disclosure permitted under this clause.

(I) The individual signing below on behalf of any entity hereby warrants and represents that he/she is authorized to execute this Subscription Agreement on behalf of such entity. If an individual, the Purchaser has reached the age of majority in the state in which the Purchaser resides. The execution and delivery of this Subscription Agreement and the consummation of the transactions contemplated hereby have been duly authorized by all requisite action, if any, in respect thereof on the part of Purchasers and no other proceedings on the part of Purchasers are necessary to consummate the transactions contemplated hereby. This Subscription Agreement has been duly and validly executed and delivered by Purchasers and constitutes a valid and binding obligation of Purchasers, enforceable against Purchasers in accordance with its terms (subject to applicable bankruptcy, insolvency and similar laws affecting creditors’ rights generally and subject, as to enforceability, to general principles of equity (whether applied in a proceeding in equity or at law)).

(J) The Purchaser is aware that the offering of the Securities involves securities for which only a limited trading market exists, thereby requiring any investment to be maintained for an indefinite period of time. The purchase of the Securities involves risks which the Purchaser has evaluated, and the Purchaser is able to bear the economic risk of the purchase of such Securities and the loss of its entire investment. The undersigned is able to bear the substantial economic risk of the investment for an indefinite period of time, has no need for liquidity in such investment and can afford a complete loss of such investment. The Purchaser’s overall commitment to investments that are not readily marketable is not, and his acquisition of the Securities will not cause such overall commitment to become, disproportionate to his net worth and the Purchaser has adequate means of providing for its current needs and contingencies.

(K) In entering into this Subscription Agreement and in purchasing the Securities, the Purchaser further acknowledges that:

(i) The Company has informed the Purchaser that the Securities have not been offered for sale by means of general advertising or solicitation and the Purchaser acknowledges that it has either a pre-existing personal or business relationship with either the Company or any of its officers, directors or controlling person, of a nature and duration such as would enable a reasonable prudent investor to be aware of the character, business acumen, and general business and financial circumstances of the Company and an investment in the Securities.

 

23


(ii) Neither the Securities nor any interest therein may be resold by the Purchaser in the absence of a registration under the Securities Act or an exemption from registration. In particular, the Purchaser is aware that all of the foregoing described Securities will be “restricted securities”, as such term is defined in Rule 144 promulgated under the Securities Act (“Rule 144”), and they may not be sold pursuant to Rule 144, unless the conditions thereof are met. Other than set forth in this Agreement, the Company has no obligation to register any securities purchased or issuable hereunder.

(iii) The following legend (or substantially similar language) shall be placed on the certificate(s) or other instruments evidencing the Securities:

THE SECURITIES REPRESENTED BY THIS CERTIFICATE HAVE NOT BEEN REGISTERED UNDER THE SECURITIES ACT OF 1933 (THE “ACT”), OR ANY STATE SECURITIES LAWS AND NEITHER SUCH NOTES NOR ANY INTEREST THEREIN MAY BE OFFERED, SOLD, PLEDGED, ASSIGNED OR OTHERWISE TRANSFERRED UNLESS (1) A REGISTRATION STATEMENT WITH RESPECT THERETO IS EFFECTIVE UNDER THE ACT AND ANY APPLICABLE STATE SECURITIES LAWS, OR (2) THE COMPANY RECEIVES AN OPINION OF COUNSEL TO THE HOLDER OF SUCH NOTES, WHICH COUNSEL AND OPINION ARE REASONABLY SATISFACTORY TO THE COMPANY, THAT SUCH NOTES MAY BE OFFERED, SOLD, PLEDGED, ASSIGNED OR TRANSFERRED IN THE MANNER CONTEMPLATED WITHOUT AN EFFECTIVE REGISTRATION STATEMENT UNDER THE ACT OR APPLICABLE STATE SECURITIES LAWS.

(iv) The Company may at any time place a stop transfer order on its transfer books against the Securities. Such stop order will be removed, and further transfer of the Securities will be permitted, upon an effective registration of the respective Securities, or the receipt by the Company of an opinion of counsel satisfactory to the Company that such further transfer may be effected pursuant to an applicable exemption from registration.

(L) The Company has employed its own legal counsel in connection with the Offering. The Purchasers have not been represented by independent counsel in connection with the preparation of this Subscription Agreement or the terms of this Offering and no investigation of the merits or fairness of the Offering has been conducted on behalf of the Purchasers. Each Purchaser has had the opportunity to consult with its own legal, tax and financial advisors with respect to the Offering made pursuant to this Subscription Agreement.

(M)                      (insert name of Purchaser Representative: if none leave blank) has acted as the Purchaser’s Purchaser Representative for purposes of the private placement exemption under the Act. If the Purchaser has appointed a Purchaser Representative (which term is used herein with the same meaning as given in Rule 501(h) of Regulation D), the Purchaser has been advised by his Purchaser Representative as to the merits and risks of an investment in the Company in general and the suitability of an investment in the Securities for the Purchaser in particular.

(N) The undersigned hereby acknowledges that officers, affiliates, employees and directors of the Company and/or the Selling Agent may purchase Securities in the Offering on the same terms and conditions as the Purchasers.

(O) It never has been represented, guaranteed or warranted by the Company, any of the officers, directors, stockholders, partners, employees or agents of the Company, or any other persons, whether expressly or by implication, that: (i) the Company or the Purchasers will realize any given percentage of profits and/or amount or type of consideration, profit or loss as a result of the Company’s activities or the Purchaser’s investment in the Company; or (ii) the past performance or experience of the management of the Company, or of any other person, will in any way indicate the predictable results of the ownership of the Securities or of the Company’s activities.

 

24


(P) The Purchaser acknowledges that any delivery to it of this Subscription Agreement relating to the Securities prior to the determination by the Company of its suitability as a Purchaser shall not constitute an offer of the Securities until such determination of suitability shall be made, and the Purchaser hereby agrees that it shall promptly return this Subscription Agreement and the other Offering documents to the Company upon request. The Purchaser understands that the Company shall have the right to accept or reject this subscription in whole or in part. Unless this subscription is accepted in whole or in part by the Company this subscription shall be deemed rejected in whole.

(Q) Each Purchaser acknowledges that it is aware (and that its representatives who are apprised of this matter have been or will be advised) that the United States securities laws restrict persons with material non-public information about a company obtained directly or indirectly from that company from purchasing or selling securities of such company, or from communicating such information to any other person under circumstances in which it is reasonably foreseeable that such person is likely to purchase or sell such securities. Each Purchaser hereby confirm and acknowledges that it is in receipt of material, non-public information regarding this Offering and the Company and each Purchaser further agrees and acknowledges that it will hold such information in confidence, is restricted in its ability to use such information and may not use any such information in contravention of applicable securities laws or otherwise, including trading in the Company’s securities, except for the purpose of evaluating an investment in the Company’s securities. Each Purchaser agrees to comply with such restrictions for so long as it (or its representatives) posses any material, non-public information concerning the Company or the transactions contemplated herein.

(R) Each Purchaser acknowledges and agrees that there is no “minimum” offering amount for the Securities and that funds may be immediately released to the Company.

(S) Each Purchaser understands that nothing in this Subscription Agreement or any other materials presented to the Purchaser in connection with the purchase and sale of the Securities constitutes legal, tax or investment advice. The Purchaser has consulted such legal, tax and investment advisors as it, in its sole discretion, has deemed necessary or appropriate in connection with its purchase of Securities.

5.3 Procedure. The party to be indemnified hereunder (the “Indemnified Party”) shall promptly notify the party providing indemnification hereunder (the “Indemnifying Party”) of any claim, demand, action or proceeding for which indemnification may be sought under Sections 5.1 or 5.2 of this Subscription Agreement, and, if such claim, demand, action or proceeding is a third party claim, demand, action or proceeding (collectively, an “Action”), the Indemnifying Party will have the right at its expense to assume the defense thereof using counsel reasonably acceptable to the Indemnified Party; provided, however any failure or delay to so notify the Indemnifying Party will not relieve it from its obligation to indemnify any Indemnified Party, unless and only to the extent that such failure or delay results in the forfeiture by the Indemnifying Party of substantial rights and defenses or the Indemnifying Party is otherwise materially prejudiced by such failure or delay. Any Indemnified Party shall have the right to employ separate counsel in any such action and participate in the defense thereof, but the fees and expenses of such counsel shall be at the expense of such Indemnified Party except to the extent that (i) the employment thereof has been specifically authorized by the Indemnifying Party in writing, (ii) the Indemnifying Party has failed after a reasonable period of time to assume such defense and to employ counsel or (iii) in such action there is, in the reasonable opinion of counsel, a material conflict on any material issue between the position of the Indemnifying Party and the position of such Indemnified Party, in which case the Indemnifying Party shall be responsible for the reasonable fees and expenses of no more than one such separate counsel for the Indemnified Party.

Further, no Indemnified Party seeking indemnification hereunder will, without the prior written consent of the Indemnifying Party, which shall not be unreasonably withheld, settle, compromise, consent to the entry of any judgment in or otherwise seek to terminate any Action. The Indemnifying Party shall not be liable for settlement of any Action effected without its written consent.

INVESTOR SUITABILITY QUESTIONNAIRE

The following information is needed in order to determine (i) whether an investment in XENONICS HOLDINGS, INC. (the “Company” or “Xenonics”) by the undersigned (the “Investor”) is suitable in light of the Investor’s personal and financial position, and (ii) whether the Investor, either alone or with a representative, has sufficient knowledge and experience in financial and business affairs to evaluate the merits and risks of the prospective investment (the “Investment”) in Secured Convertible Notes of Xenonics as described in the Subscription Agreement dated as of June 23, 2014 (“Agreement”). Terms not otherwise defined herein shall have the meaning ascribed to such terms in the Agreement.

The Investor understands that this questionnaire (this “Questionnaire”) is intended to enable the Company and Sandlapper Securities, LLC, as selling agent (“Placement Agent”), to discharge their respective responsibilities under an exemption from registration under the Securities Act of 1933 (the “Act”), and with respect to the Placement Agent, its obligations under applicable FINRA rules, and thus the Company, the Placement Agent and their respective advisors will rely upon the information contained herein. Accordingly, the undersigned represents to the Company and the Placement Agent as follows:
