THIS
UNIT PURCHASE AGREEMENT (the “Agreement”) is
entered into as of the date set forth on the signature page hereto
by and among Medovex Corporation, a Nevada corporation (the
“Company”), and
the purchasers identified on Exhibit A on the date hereof
(which purchasers are hereinafter collectively referred to as the
“Purchasers”
and each individually as, a “Purchaser”).
BACKGROUND
A.
Unless otherwise defined in this Agreement, capitalized terms used
in this Agreement shall have the respective meanings ascribed to
such terms in Section 9.
B. The
Company is offering Units (as defined below) to a limited number of
persons who qualify as “accredited investors” as
defined in Rule 501 of Regulation D promulgated under the
Securities Act (the “Offering”).
C. Each
Unit shall consist of (a) one share of common stock, par value
$0.001 per share, of the Company (“Common Stock”)
and (b) one-half of a warrant to purchase a share of Common Stock
(the “Warrant”), at
an exercise price per share equal to $1.50 per share, which Warrant
will be exercisable at any time on or after the date of issuance
for a period of five (5) years following the final closing (the
“Final
Closing Date”) of the Offering (collectively, the
“Units”) at a
price per Unit equal to the lower of (i) the closing bid price for
the Common Stock on the day immediately prior to the Closing, or
(ii) $1.20.
D. To
the extent that the purchase of Units would result in a purchaser
acquiring beneficial ownership of 4.99% or more of the
Company’s then outstanding Common Stock, such purchaser may
elect to purchase, in lieu of the Common Stock included as part of
the Units, shares of our Series A Convertible Preferred Stock (the
“Preferred
Stock”), par value $0.001 per share, which are
convertible into shares of Common Stock (the “Conversion
Shares”), with such rights and designations as set
forth in the form of Certificate of Designation of Preferences,
Rights and Limitations of Series A Convertible Preferred Stock
attached hereto as Exhibit G, (the “Series A Certificate of
Designation”).
E.
The Units are being offered on a
“reasonable
efforts” basis in a
minimum amount of $3,000,000 (the “Minimum
Offering Amount”), and a
maximum amount of $5,000,000 (the “Maximum
Offering Amount”). The
Placement Agent agrees to use reasonable efforts to complete the
Offering on or before April 30, 2017.
F. Officers, directors or employees of the Company
may offer Units, which shall be included in, and counted towards,
the Minimum and Maximum Offering.
G. The
Company desires to issue and sell the Units to each Purchaser in
one or more closings (each a “Closing” and
collectively the “Closings”) as
set forth herein.
NOW,
THEREFORE, in consideration of the representations, warranties,
covenants and agreements herein contained and other good and
valuable consideration, the receipt and sufficiency of which are
hereby acknowledged, the parties, intending to be legally bound,
hereby agree as follows:
-3-
1. SALE
AND PURCHASE OF UNITS.
1.1
Authorization of
Units. The board of directors of the Company (the
“Board of
Directors”) has authorized (i) the sale of up to
5,000,000 Units, each Unit consisting of (a) a share of common
stock, par value $0.001 per share, of the Company
(“Common
Stock”) (or Preferred Stock for any Purchasers that
elect to purchase shares of our Preferred Stock in lieu of Common
Stock)(which is determined by dividing the price per Unit by the
lower of (i) the closing bid price for the Common Stock on the day
immediately prior to the Closing, or (ii) $1.20), and (b) one-half
of a warrant to purchase a share of Common Stock, at an exercise
price per share equal to $1.50 per share, which warrant will be
exercisable at any time on or after the date of issuance for a
period of five (5) years following the final Closing. From and
after the applicable Closing, the Company shall issue and reserve
for issuance the shares of its Common Stock issuable in such
Closing; (i) the shares of Common Stock that may be issued upon
full exercise of the Warrants (the “Warrant
Shares”) issued at such Closing, plus such additional
number of Warrant Shares as shall be required to be issued pursuant
to the terms thereof; and (ii) the Conversion Shares to any
Purchasers that elect to purchase preferred stock in lieu of Common
Stock, as set forth herein.
1.2 Initial Sale and Purchase of
Units. Subject to the terms and conditions hereof, and in
reliance upon the representations, warranties and covenants
contained herein, at the Initial Closing, the Company shall issue
and sell to each Purchaser, and each Purchaser shall purchase from
the Company, the number of Units set forth opposite such
Purchaser’s name on Exhibit A under the
“Initial Units” column, at a purchase price per Unit
equal to the lower of (i) the closing bid price for the Common
Stock on the day immediately prior to the Closing, or (ii) $1.20
(subject to appropriate and proportionate adjustment for stock
dividends payable in shares of, forward or reverse stock splits and
other subdivisions and combinations of, and recapitalizations and
like occurrences with respect to, the Common Stock, the
“Per Unit
Purchase Price”). The minimum investment required from
each Purchaser is one hundred thousand dollars ($100,000), unless
the Company and the Placement Agent agree, in their mutual
discretion, to allow a Purchaser to invest less than one hundred
thousand dollars ($100,000). Notwithstanding
anything herein to the contrary, in the event that a
Purchaser’s subscription to Units would cause such
Purchaser’s beneficial ownership to exceed 4.99% of the
issued and outstanding shares of the Company’s Common Stock,
such Purchaser may elect to purchase shares of the Company
Preferred Stock in lieu of the shares of Common Stock to be part of
the Units, which preferred stock shall have such rights and
designations as set forth in Exhibit G hereof.
1.3
Subsequent Sales and
Purchases of Units. Subject to the terms and
conditions hereof, and in reliance upon the representations,
warranties and covenants contained herein, at each subsequent
Closing, the Company shall issue and sell to each Purchaser who is
identified as a “Subsequent Closing Purchaser” on
Exhibit A, which
shall be deemed amended at each such subsequent Closing to add each
such additional Purchaser (each, a “Subsequent Closing
Purchaser”), and each Subsequent Closing Purchaser
shall purchase from the Company, the number of Units set forth
opposite such Purchaser’s name on Exhibit A at the Per Unit
Purchase Price.
1.4
Issuance of
Warrants. The Warrants shall be in form and substance
substantially the same as the form of Warrant in Exhibit B.
1.5

reimbursement in the amount of two percent (2%) of the gross

aggregate amount of One Million One Hundred Fifty Thousand Dollars
($1,150,000) have agreed to convert, simultaneous with the Initial
Closing, as defined below, the Notes under the same terms and
conditions set forth in this Agreement (the “Conversion”). The amount
of Notes converted shall not be deemed to be a part of this
Offering and shall not be counted towards the Minimum Offering
Amount or the Maximum Offering Amount, and the Placement Agent
shall not be entitled to receive the fees set forth under Section
1.5 above with respect to the Conversion.

or (b) if such shares of Common Stock, Warrant Shares, or
Conversion Shares are eligible for sale under Rule 144, without the
requirement for the Company to be in compliance with the current
public information required under Rule 144 as to such shares of
Common Stock, Warrant Shares and Conversion Shares and without
volume or manner-of-sale restrictions, (c) following any sale of
such shares of Common Stock, Warrant Shares, or Conversion Shares,
pursuant to the plan of distribution in an effective registration
statement (in compliance with any prospectus delivery
requirements), or (d) if such legend is not required under
applicable requirements of the Securities Act (including judicial
interpretations and pronouncements issued by the staff of the
Commission) (the “Removal
Date”). The Company shall cause its counsel
to issue a legal opinion to the Transfer Agent promptly after the
Removal Date if required by the Transfer Agent to effect the
removal of the legend hereunder as permitted by applicable law then
in effect. The Company agrees that following the Removal Date, it
will, no later than five (5) trading days following the delivery by
a Purchaser to the Company or the Transfer Agent of a certificate
representing shares of Common Stock, Warrant Shares, or
Conversion Shares, as the case
may be, issued with a restrictive legend, together with any
reasonable certifications requested by the Company, the
Company’s counsel or the Transfer Agent (such fifth (5th)
trading day, the “Legend Removal
Date”), deliver or cause to be delivered to such
Purchaser a certificate representing such shares that is free from
all restrictive and other legends. The
Company may not make any notation on its records or give
instructions to the Transfer Agent that enlarge the restrictions on
transfer set forth in this Section 6. Certificates for shares of
Common Stock, Warrant Shares, and Conversion Shares subject to
legend removal hereunder shall be transmitted by the Transfer Agent
to the Purchaser by crediting the account of the
Purchaser’s prime broker with the Depository Trust Company
System as directed by such Purchaser if the Transfer Agent is then
a participant in such system and the Company is eligible to use
such system and as directed by such
Purchaser if either (i) there is an effective registration
statement permitting the resale of such shares of Common Stock,
Warrant Shares or Conversion Shares by the Purchaser (and the
Purchaser provides the Company or the Company’s counsel with
any requested certifications with respect to future sales of such
shares) or (ii) the shares are eligible for resale by the Purchaser
under Rule 144, without the requirement for the Company to be in
compliance with the current public information required under Rule
144 as to such shares of Common Stock, Warrant Shares and
Conversion Shares and without volume or manner-of-sale
restrictions.
6.3.4 In addition to any other rights available to
a Purchaser, if the Company fails to deliver to a Purchaser
unlegended Warrant Shares or Conversion Shares as required pursuant
to this Agreement and after the Legend Removal Date such Purchaser,
or a broker on such Purchaser’s behalf, purchases (in an open
market transaction or otherwise) shares of Common Stock to deliver
in satisfaction of a sale by such Purchaser of the Warrant Shares
or Conversion Shares that such Purchaser was entitled to receive
from the Company (a “Buy-In”),
then the Company shall promptly pay in cash to such Purchaser (in
addition to any remedies available to or elected by such Purchaser)
the amount by which (a) such Purchaser’s total purchase price
(including brokerage commissions, if any) for the shares of Common
Stock so purchased exceeds (b) the aggregate purchase price
of
-25-
the
Warrant Shares or Conversion Shares delivered to the Company for
reissuance as unlegended shares (which amount shall be paid as
liquidated damages and not as a penalty). For example, if a
Purchaser purchases shares of Common Stock having a total purchase
price of $11,000 to cover a Buy-In with respect to Common Stock or
Warrant Shares or Conversion Shares delivered to the Company for
reissuance as unlegended shares having an aggregate purchase price
of $10,000, the Company shall be required to pay the Purchaser
$1,000, plus interest. The Purchaser shall provide the Company
written notice indicating the amounts payable to the Purchaser in
respect of the Buy-In. For purposes of this Agreement, the
“purchase price” of a (a) share of Common Stock shall
be $___ per share, and (b) Warrant Share shall be the Exercise
Price (as defined in the Warrants).
6.3.5 In addition to such Purchaser’s other
available remedies, the Company shall pay to such Purchaser, in
cash, as partial liquidated damages and not as a penalty, for each
$1,000 of Warrant Shares or Conversion Shares (based on the
Exercise Price of such Warrant Shares or Conversion Shares, as the
case may be) delivered for removal of the restrictive legend, $10
per trading day (increasing to $20 per trading day five (5) trading
days after such damages have begun to accrue)) for each trading day
after the fifth (5th) trading day following the Legend Removal Date
until such certificate is delivered without a legend. Nothing
herein shall limit such Purchaser’s right to pursue actual
damages for the Company’s failure to deliver certificates
representing any Securities as required by the Transaction
Documents, and such Purchaser shall have the right to pursue all
remedies available to it at law or in equity including, without
limitation, a decree of specific performance and/or injunctive
relief.
6.4 Furnishing of
Information; Public Information. For so long as any Purchaser holds any
Securities, or if earlier, for a period of twenty-four (24) months
following the Termination Date the Company covenants to file all
annual and quarterly periodic reports with the SEC pursuant to
Section 15(d) of the Exchange Act or alternatively, if registered
under Section 12(b) or 12(g) of the Exchange Act, maintain the
registration of the Common Stock under Section 12(b) or 12(g) of
the Exchange Act and to timely file (or obtain extensions in
respect thereof and file within the applicable grace period) all
such annual and quarterly reports required to be filed by the
Company after the date hereof pursuant to the Exchange Act.
Unless the Securities owned by such Purchaser shall have been
registered for resale, if at any time during the period commencing
from the date that is 6 months after the date hereof and ending 24
months following the Termination Date the Company shall fail for
any reason to satisfy the current public information requirement
under Rule 144(c) (a “Public Information
Failure”) then, in addition to such Purchaser’s
other available remedies, the Company shall pay to a Purchaser, in
cash, as partial liquidated damages and not as a penalty, by reason
of any such delay in or reduction of its ability to sell the
Securities, an amount in cash equal to two percent (2.0%) of the
pro-rata portion of such Purchaser’s Purchase Price
attributable to the unsold Warrant Shares or Conversion Shares on the day of a Public
Information Failure and on every thirtieth (30th) day (prorated for
periods totaling less than thirty (30) days) thereafter until the
earlier of (A) the date such Public Information Failure is cured
and (B) such time that such public information is no longer
required for the Purchasers to transfer their shares of Common
Stock, Warrant Shares and Conversion
Shares pursuant to Rule 144. The payments to which a
Purchaser shall be entitled pursuant to this Section 6.2 are
referred to herein as “Public Information Failure
Payments”. Public Information Failure Payments shall be paid
on the earlier of (Y) the last day of the calendar month during
which such Public Information Failure Payments are incurred, and
(Z) the third (3rd) business day after the event or failure giving
rise to the Public Information Failure Payments is cured. Nothing
herein shall limit such Purchaser’s right to pursue actual
damages for the Public Information Failure, and such Purchaser
shall have the right to pursue all remedies available to it at law
or in equity including, without limitation, a decree of specific
performance and/or injunctive relief. Notwithstanding anything
herein to the contrary, the maximum payment hereunder shall not
exceed twelve (12%) percent of such Purchaser’s Purchase
Price. As long as any Purchaser owns
Securities, if the Company is not required to file reports pursuant
to such laws, it will prepare and furnish to the Purchasers and
make publicly available in accordance with Rule 144(c) such
information as is required for the Purchasers to sell the
Securities under Rule 144. The Company further covenants that it
will take such further action as any holder of Securities may
reasonably request, to the extent required from time to time to
enable such person to sell such Securities without registration
under the Securities Act within the requirements of the exemption
provided by Rule 144.
-26-
6.2
Listing of
Securities. The Company agrees,
(i) if the Company applies to have the Common Stock traded on any
other trading market, it will include in such application the
Warrant Shares and Conversion Shares of each Purchaser, and will
take such other action as is necessary or desirable to cause such
Common Stock and any Warrant Shares and Conversion Shares to be
listed on such other trading market as promptly as possible, and
(ii) it will take all action reasonably necessary to continue the
listing and trading of its Common Stock on a Trading Market (as
defined in the Warrant) and will comply in all material respects with the Company’s reporting, filing and
other obligations under the bylaws or rules of any such Trading
Market (as defined in the Warrant).
6.3
Reservation of
Shares. From and after
the Initial Closing and any Subsequent Closing, the Company shall at all times thereafter while
the Common Stock and Warrants which were purchased and sold at such
Closing are outstanding maintain a reserve from its duly authorized
shares of Common Stock of a number of shares of Common Stock
sufficient to allow for the issuance of Common Stock, Warrant
Shares and Conversion Shares, which were the subject of such
Closing.
6.4
Replacement of
Securities. If any certificate
or instrument evidencing any Securities is mutilated, lost, stolen
or destroyed, the Company shall issue or cause to be issued in
exchange and substitution for and upon cancellation thereof, or in
lieu of and substitution therefor, a new certificate or instrument,
but only upon receipt of evidence reasonably satisfactory to the
Company of such loss, theft or destruction and customary and
reasonable indemnity, if requested. The applicants for a new
certificate or instrument under such circumstances shall also pay
any reasonable third-party costs associated with the issuance of
such replacement securities. If a replacement certificate or
instrument evidencing any securities is requested due to a
mutilation thereof, the Company may require delivery of such
mutilated certificate or instrument as a condition precedent to any
issuance of a replacement.
6.5
Securities

shall by 8:30 a.m. (New York City time) on the trading day
immediately, following a Closing hereunder, file a Current Report
on Form 8-K disclosing the material terms of the transactions
contemplated hereby and including the Transaction Documents as
exhibits thereto to the extent required by law. The Company shall
not publicly disclose the name of Purchaser, or include the name of
any Purchaser in any filing with the SEC or any regulatory agency
or trading market, without the prior written consent of Purchaser,
except: (a) as required by federal securities law in connection
with the filing of final Transaction Documents (including signature
pages thereto) with the SEC and (b) to the extent such disclosure
is required by law, in which case the Company shall provide the
Purchaser with prior notice of such disclosure permitted under this
clause (b).
6.6
Form D;
Blue Sky Filings. The Company
agrees to timely file a Form D with respect to the Securities as
required under Regulation D promulgated under the Securities Act
and to provide a copy thereof, promptly upon request of the
Purchaser. The Company shall take such action as the Company shall
reasonably determine is necessary in order to obtain an exemption
for, or to qualify the Securities for, sale to the Purchaser at the
Closing under applicable securities or “Blue Sky” laws
of the states of the United States, and shall provide evidence of
such actions promptly upon request of any
Purchaser.
6.7
Equal
Treatment of Purchasers. No
consideration (including any modification of any Transaction
Document) shall be offered or paid to any person to amend or
consent to a waiver or modification of any provision of any of the
Transaction Documents unless the same consideration is also offered
to all of the parties to the Transaction
Documents.
6.8
Non-Public
Information. Except with
respect to the material terms and conditions of the transactions
contemplated by the Transaction Documents, the Company covenants
and agrees that neither it, nor any other person acting on its
behalf, will provide Purchaser or its agents or counsel with any
information that the Company believes constitutes material
non-public information, unless prior thereto Purchaser shall have

of such information. The Company understands and confirms that

Company’s business and prior practices), (b) the redemption
of any Common Stock or Common Stock Equivalents or (c) the
settlement of any outstanding litigation.
6.10
Commercially Reasonable
Efforts. Upon the terms and subject to the conditions set

to any third party or parties which, individually or in the
aggregate, are material and are not otherwise legally required to

and cooperate with the other parties in doing, all things
necessary, proper or advisable for such party to consummate and
make effective, in the most expeditious manner practicable, each
Closing and the other transactions contemplated
hereunder.

Parties”) from and against all Indemnified Losses
imposed upon, incurred by, or asserted against any of the
Indemnified Parties resulting from, relating to or arising out
of:

any fiduciary obligation owed with respect thereto), including,
without limitation, in connection with any action or claim relating
to any action taken or omitted to be taken or alleged to have been

security holder; provided that the Company shall not be obligated
to indemnify or hold harmless any Indemnified Party under this

Losses resulting from or arising out of any such action or claim if
it has been adjudicated by a final and non-appealable determination
of a court or other trier of fact of competent jurisdiction that
such Indemnified Losses were the result of (a) a breach of such
Indemnified Party’s fiduciary duty, (b) any action or
omission made by the Indemnified Party in bad faith, (c) such
