Item 1.01 Entry into a Material Definitive Agreement

Common Stock Purchase Agreement and Registration Rights Agreement

On September 23, 2021, BioHiTech Global, Inc. (the "Company," "we," "us" or "our") entered into a Common Stock Purchase Agreement (the "Purchase Agreement") and a Registration Rights Agreement (the "Registration Rights Agreement") with Keystone Capital Partners, LLC ("Keystone Capital Partners"). Pursuant to the Purchase Agreement, the Company has the right to sell to Keystone Capital Partners up to the lesser of (i) $20,000,000 of newly issued shares (the "Shares") of the Company's common stock, par value $0.0001 per share (the "Common Stock"), and (ii) the Exchange Cap (as defined below) (subject to certain conditions and limitations), from time to time during the term of the Purchase Agreement.

As an initial purchase under the Purchase Agreement, upon the execution and delivery of the Purchase Agreement and the Registration Rights Agreement on September 23, 2021, the Company issued and sold 625,000 shares of Common Stock (the "Initial Purchase Shares") to Keystone Capital Partners for an aggregate gross purchase price of $750,000 (the "Aggregate Initial Purchase Price"). We do not have the right to sell any additional shares of Common Stock to Keystone Capital Partners, until the conditions precedent thereto set forth in the Purchase Agreement, including that a registration statement registering under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the "Securities Act"), the resale by Keystone Capital Partners of shares of Common Stock issued to it by the Company under the Purchase Agreement (the "Initial Resale Registration Statement"), which we agreed to file with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the "SEC") pursuant to the Registration Rights Agreement, is declared effective by the SEC and a final prospectus relating thereto is filed with the SEC, have been initially satisfied as set forth in the Purchase Agreement (the time such conditions are initially satisfied, the "Commencement," and the date on which the Commencement occurs under the Purchase Agreement, the "Commencement Date").

From and after the Commencement Date, we will have the right, but not the obligation, from time to time at our sole discretion, over a period of up to 24 months beginning on the effective date of the Initial Registration Statement (the "Investment Period"), to direct Keystone Capital Partners to purchase up to a specified maximum amount of shares of Common Stock as set forth in the Purchase Agreement, by delivering written notice of such purchase to Keystone Capital Partners prior to the commencement of regular trading hours on The Nasdaq Capital Market on any trading day that we elect as the purchase date for such purchase, so long as, (i) the closing sale price of the Common Stock on the trading day immediately prior to such purchase date is not less than the specified threshold price set forth in the Purchase Agreement and (ii) all shares of Common Stock subject to all prior purchases by Keystone Capital Partners under the Purchase Agreement have theretofore been received by Keystone Capital Partners electronically as set forth in the Purchase Agreement. The purchase price per share for the shares of Common Stock (excluding the Initial Purchase Shares) that we elect to sell to Keystone Capital Partners in each purchase that we direct Keystone Capital Partners to make from time to time during the Investment Period, if any, will be determined by reference to the volume weighted average price of the Common Stock ("VWAP") on the applicable purchase date for such purchase, less a fixed 5% discount to such VWAP.

Other than the 625,000 Initial Purchase Shares that we sold to Keystone Capital Partners as an initial purchase under the Purchase Agreement upon our execution of the Purchase Agreement on September 23, 2021 for an aggregate gross purchase price of $750,000, the Company is under no obligation to sell any additional shares of Common Stock to Keystone Capital Partners under the Purchase Agreement, either before or after Commencement. From and after the Commencement Date, the Company will control the timing and amount of any sales of Common Stock to Keystone Capital Partners. Actual sales of our Common Stock to Keystone Capital Partners under the Purchase Agreement after the Commencement Date will depend on a variety of factors to be determined by the Company, in its sole discretion, from time to time during the Investment Period, including, among other things, market conditions, the trading price of the Common Stock and determinations by the Company as to the appropriate sources of funding for the Company and its operations.

Under the applicable rules of The Nasdaq Stock Market LLC ("Nasdaq"), in no event may we issue to Keystone Capital Partners under the Purchase Agreement more than 5,689,663 shares of Common Stock, which number of shares is equal to 19.99% of the shares of the Common Stock outstanding immediately prior to the execution of the Purchase Agreement (the "Exchange Cap"), unless (i) we obtain stockholder approval to issue shares of Common Stock in excess of the Exchange Cap in accordance with applicable Nasdaq rules, or (ii) the average purchase price per share for all of the shares of Common Stock sold to Keystone Capital Partners under the Purchase Agreement (including the Initial Purchase Shares) equals or exceeds the lower of (i) the Nasdaq official closing price for the Common Stock on the trading day immediately preceding the execution of the Purchase Agreement and (ii) the arithmetic average of the five Nasdaq official closing prices for the Common Stock during the 5-trading day period ending on (and including) the trading day immediately preceding the execution of the Purchase Agreement, as adjusted pursuant to applicable Nasdaq rules, such that the Exchange Cap limitation shall not apply to issuances and sales of Common Stock under the Purchase Agreement applicable Nasdaq rules. In any event, the Purchase Agreement specifically provides that we may not issue or sell any shares of our Common Stock under the Purchase Agreement if such issuance or sale would breach any applicable Nasdaq rules.

Moreover, we may not issue or sell any shares of Common Stock to Keystone Capital Partners under the Purchase Agreement which, when aggregated with all other shares of Common Stock then beneficially owned by Keystone Capital Partners and its affiliates (as calculated pursuant to Section 13(d) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, and Rule 13d-3 promulgated thereunder), would result in Keystone Capital Partners beneficially owning more than 4.99% of the outstanding shares of Common Stock.

The net proceeds from sales, if any, under the Purchase Agreement, will depend on the frequency and prices at which the Company sells shares of Common Stock to Keystone Capital Partners. To the extent the Company sells shares under the Purchase Agreement, the Company currently plans to use any proceeds therefrom for working capital and other general corporate purposes.

There are no restrictions on future financings, rights of first refusal, participation rights, penalties or liquidated damages in the Purchase Agreement or Registration Rights Agreement other than a prohibition on entering (with certain limited exceptions) into a "Variable Rate Transaction," as defined in the Purchase Agreement. Keystone Capital Partners has agreed not to engage in or effect, directly or indirectly, for is own principal account or for the principal account of any of its affiliates, any short sales of the Common Stock or hedging transaction that establishes a net short position in the Common Stock during the term of the Purchase Agreement.

The Purchase Agreement and the Registration Rights Agreement contain customary representations, warranties, conditions and indemnification obligations of the parties. The representations, warranties and covenants contained in such agreements were made only for purposes of such agreements and as of specific dates, were solely for the benefit of the parties to such agreements and may be subject to limitations agreed upon by the contracting parties.

The Purchase Agreement will automatically terminate on the earliest to occur of (i) the first day of the month next following the 24-month anniversary after the effective date of the Initial Registration Statement, (ii) the date on which Keystone Capital Partners shall have purchased $20,000,000 of shares of Common Stock from the Company under the Purchase Agreement, (iii) the date on which the Common Stock shall have failed to be listed or quoted on The Nasdaq Capital Market or another U.S. national securities exchange identified as an "eligible market" in the Purchase Agreement, and (iv) the date on which the Company commences a voluntary bankruptcy proceeding or any Person commences a proceeding against the Company, a Custodian is appointed for the Company or for all or substantially all of its property, or the Company makes a general assignment for the benefit of its creditors. The Company has the right to terminate the Purchase Agreement at any time after Commencement, at no cost or penalty, upon three trading days' prior written notice to Keystone Capital Partners. Neither the Company nor Keystone Capital Partners may assign or transfer its rights and obligations under the Purchase Agreement or the Registration Rights Agreement, and no provision of the Purchase Agreement or the Registration Rights Agreement may be modified or waived by the parties after the date that is one trading day immediately prior to the date on which the Initial Resale Registration Statement is filed by the Company with the SEC. . . .
