SUBSCRIPTION AGREEMENT
Cell Source, Inc.
65 Yigal Alon Street
Tel Aviv, Israel 67433
Ladies and Gentlemen:
The undersigned (the “Investor”) hereby confirms its agreement with Cell Source, Inc., a Nevada corporation (the “Company”), as follows:
1. This Subscription Agreement, including the Terms and Conditions For Purchase of Securities attached hereto as Annex I (collectively, this “Agreement”) is made as of the date set forth below between the Company and the Investor.
2. The Company has authorized the sale and issuance to certain investors of up to an aggregate of $3,000,000 in principal of the Company’s 10% Convertible Notes in the form attached hereto as Exhibit A (the “Notes” and individually, the “Note”), which Notes shall be automatically converted into shares of the Company’s common stock, par value $0.001 per share (the “Common Stock”) upon the earlier of (i) the closing of an offering of equity securities pursuant to which the Company receives an aggregate of at least $5,000,000 in gross proceeds (the “Qualified Financing”); (ii) the closing of a strategic transaction (including but not limited to the Company’s entry into a joint venture or partnership agreement or the sublicensing of the Company’s intellectual property) pursuant to which the Company, directly or indirectly, receives, or expects to receive within eighteen months, cash, assets or other consideration with a total aggregate value of at least $4,000,000 (“Strategic Transaction”); or (iii) the eighteen month anniversary of the issued of the Note, its maturity date (the “Maturity Date”). In the event the Notes are converted upon the occurrence of the Qualified Financing, the conversion price of the Notes shall be the lesser of (i) seventy percent (70%) of the price per share or per unit (assuming the unit includes one share of Common Stock or the price per unit divided by the number of shares of Common Stock underlying such unit) at which the Company sells its securities in the Qualified Financing; or (ii) $0.75. In the event the Notes are converted upon the occurrence of a Strategic Transaction, the conversion price of the Notes shall be equal to $0.75. In addition, upon conversion of the Notes following the occurrence of the Qualified Financing of a Strategic Transaction, each Note holder shall automatically receive five-year warrants to purchase that number of shares of Common Stock into which the Notes are convertible and such warrants shall have an exercise price equal to one hundred ten percent (110%) of the per-share or per unit (assuming the unit includes one share of Common Stock or the price per unit divided by the number of shares of Common Stock underlying such unit) at which the Company sells its securities in the Qualified Financing or $0.825 in the case of a Strategic Transaction, as applicable. In the event the Notes are automatically converted upon the Maturity Date, the conversion price of the Notes shall be equal to the quotient obtained by dividing $15 million by the aggregate number of outstanding shares of the Common Stock, measured on a fully-diluted basis, excluding certain shares, on the date immediately preceding the Maturity Date (the “Maturity Conversion Price”). In addition, in the event of an automatic conversion of the Notes upon the Maturity Date, the holder shall automatically receive five-year warrants to purchase that number of Common Stock into which the Notes are convertible and such warrants shall have an exercise price equal to the Maturity Conversion Price. The Notes and the Common Stock and warrants to purchase Common Stock into which the Notes are convertible are hereinafter referred to collectively as the “Securities”.
3. The offering and sale of the Securities (the “Offering”) are being made in accordance with and subject to the terms and conditions described in this Agreement and the Confidential Private Placement Memorandum of the Company dated on or around August 31, 2015, as amended or supplemented from time to time (the “Memorandum”), and pursuant to an exemption from registration under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”), by virtue of Section 4(a)(2) of the Securities Act and the provisions of Regulation D (“Regulation D”) promulgated by the United States Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) thereunder, based, in part, upon the representations, warranties and agreements of the Investor contained in this Subscription Agreement.
