SECTION 1. REGISTRANT’S BUSINESS AND OPERATIONS

 

Item 1.01 Entry into a Material Definitive Agreement.

 

On September 18, 2017, Envision Solar International, Inc., a Nevada corporation (the “Company”), entered into a revolving secured convertible promissory note (the “Revolver”) and a secured convertible promissory note (the “Note”) with an unaffiliated lender (the “Lender”). Pursuant to the Revolver, the Company has the right to make borrowings from the Lender in amounts of up to 70% of the value of any specific purchase order (each a “PO”) received by the Company from a credit worthy customer (each a “Draw Down”), up to a maximum of $3,000,000, commencing on the date of the Revolver and terminating 300 days after the date of the Revolver, by giving five (5) business days written notice to the Lender of a request for borrowings (the “Evaluation Period”). During the Evaluation Period, if Lender determines in its commercially reasonable judgement that the customer (“Customer”) is not credit worthy, Lender may refuse to advance the Draw Down. The Revolver bears simple interest at the floating rate per annum equal to the 12 month USD LIBOR index rate quoted from time to time in New York, New York by the Bloomberg Service plus 600 basis points (the “Interest Rate”). The Interest Rate will be adjusted on the first day of each calendar month during the term of this Note to reflect any changes in the 12 month LIBOR rate as quoted at 1:00 pm Eastern Time in New York, New York on that day, or if that day is not a business day, on the next business day thereafter. The principal and accrued unpaid interest with respect to each Draw Down is due and payable within five (5) business days of receipt from the Customer by the Company of a payment due under the applicable PO (with respect to each Draw Down, the “Maturity Date”). Each Draw Down is secured by a perfected recorded second priority security interest in all of the Company’s assets, as set forth in that certain Security Agreement by and between the Company and the Lender, dated September 18, 2017, a copy of which is attached to this Current Report on Form 8-K as Exhibit 10.3. The Lender will have the right at any time until the Maturity Date of a Draw Down, provided the Lender gives the Company written notice of the Lender’s election to convert prior to any prepayment of such Draw Down by the Company with respect to converting that portion of such Draw Down covered by the prepayment, to convert all or any portion of the outstanding principal and accrued unpaid interest (the “Conversion Amount”), into such number of fully paid and nonassessable shares of the Company’s common stock as is determined by dividing the Conversion Amount by the greater of (i) fifteen cents ($0.15) or (ii) 75% of the Volume Weighted Average Price of the Company’s common stock that is quoted on a public securities trading market (if more than one, the one with the then highest trading volume), during the five (5) consecutive trading days immediately prior to the date of the Lender’s written notice of the Lender’s election to convert. The Revolver is secured by a second priority perfected recorded security interest in all of the assets of the Company, evidenced by a Security Agreement with the Lender, a copy of which is attached to this Report as Exhibit 10.3.

 

As additional consideration for the loan made by the Lender to the Company as evidenced by the Revolver, the Company agreed to issue to the Lender common stock purchase warrants exercisable for a period of three years from the date of issuance with an exercise price equal to the greater of (i) $0.15 per share or (ii) 75% of the Volume Weighted Average Price of the Company’s common stock that is quoted on a public securities trading market (if more than one, the one with the then highest trading volume), during the five (5) consecutive trading days immediately prior to the date of the applicable Draw Down. The number of warrants issuable to the Lender will equal 25% of the increase over the highest amount previously drawn down by the Company on the Revolver divided by the greater of (i) fifteen cents ($0.15) or (ii) 75% of the Volume Weighted Average Price of the Company’s common stock that is quoted on a public securities trading market (if more than one, the one with the then highest trading volume), during the five (5) consecutive trading days immediately prior to the date of the applicable Draw Down which causes the increase over the previous highest amount borrowed. A copy of the form of warrant is attached to this Current Report on Form 8-K as Exhibit 10.5.

In addition to the Revolver, the Lender agreed to lend $1,500,000 to the Company pursuant to the Note. The Company covenanted to use the proceeds of the Note exclusively to pay-off the entire outstanding balance of that certain loan and security agreement that the Company has with Silicon Valley Bank, dated October 30, 2015. The Note bears simple interest at the floating rate per annum equal to the 12 month USD LIBOR index rate quoted from time to time in New York, New York by the Bloomberg Service plus 400 basis points (the “Interest Rate”). The Interest Rate will be adjusted on the first day of each calendar month during the term of the Note to reflect any changes in the 12 month LIBOR rate as quoted at 1:00 pm Eastern Time in New York, New York on that day, or if that day is not a business day, on the next business day thereafter. Interest will only accrue on outstanding principal. Accrued unpaid interest is payable monthly on the first calendar day of each month for interest accrued during the previous month, with all outstanding principal and accrued unpaid interest payable in full on or before three hundred and sixty-four (364) days after the date of the Note (the “Maturity Date”), to the extent not converted into shares of the Company’s common stock. The Note is secured by a perfected recorded first priority security interest in all of the Company’s assets, as set forth in that certain Security Agreement by and between the Company and the Lender, dated September 18, 2017, a copy of which is attached to this Current Report on Form 8-K as Exhibit 10.4. At any time until the Maturity Date and provided Lender gives the Company written notice of Lender’s election to convert prior to any prepayment of this Note by the Company with respect to converting that portion of this Note covered by the prepayment, the Lender has the right to convert all or any portion of the outstanding principal and accrued interest (the “Conversion Amount”), into such number of fully paid and nonassessable shares of the Company’s common stock as is determined by dividing the Conversion Amount by the greater of (i) fifteen cents ($0.15) or (ii) 75% of the Volume Weighted Average Price of the Company’s common stock that is quoted on a public securities trading market (if more than one, the one with the then highest trading volume), during the five (5) consecutive trading days immediately prior to the date of the Lender’s written notice of its election to convert.

 

As additional consideration for the loan evidenced by the Note, the Company agreed to issue to the Lender common stock purchase warrants exercisable for a period of three years from the date of issuance with an exercise price equal to $0.15 per share. The number of warrants issuable to the Lender is equal to 25% of the Loan Amount divided by fifteen cents ($0.15). A copy of the form of warrant is attached to this Current Report on Form 8-K as Exhibit 10.5.

 

During any time when the Note or the Revolver is outstanding, or when the Lender holds any Company stock, or any warrants to acquire Company stock where the combination of both could result in the Lender owning stock with a current value of one million dollars or greater, in the Company, the Lender will have certain review and consulting rights as described in the Note and the Revolver.

 

This brief description of the Revolver, the Note, the Warrant and the Security Agreements is only a summary of the material terms and is qualified in its entirety by reference to the full text of the documents as attached to this Current Report on Form 8-K as Exhibits 10.1, 10.2, 10.3, 10.4, and 10.5, respectively.

REVOLVING CONVERTIBLE

PROMISSORY NOTE

 

 

 

Up to $3,000,000

September 18, 2017

San Diego, California

 

 

FOR VALUE RECEIVED , Envision Solar International, Inc., a Nevada corporation (“Borrower”), hereby promises to pay to the order of SFE VCF, LLC , a California limited liability company (“Lender”) at P.O. Box 5005 PMB 134, Rancho Santa Fe, CA 92067 , pursuant to the terms of this Revolving Convertible Promissory Note (the “Note”), the principal sum equal to the amount outstanding from time to time indicated on Schedule A of this Note reflecting advances made by the Lender from time to time to the Borrower under this Note until a date 300 days from the date of this Note first above written (the “Termination Date”), not to exceed a maximum outstanding principal amount of Three Million Dollars ($3,000,000), bearing simple interest on outstanding principal at the floating rate per annum equal to the 12 month USD LIBOR index rate quoted from time to time in New York, New York by the Bloomberg Service plus 600 basis points (the “Interest Rate”). The Interest Rate will be adjusted on the first day of each calendar month during the term of this Note to reflect any changes in the 12 month LIBOR rate as quoted at 1:00 pm Eastern Time in New York, New York on that day, or if that day is not a business day, on the next business day thereafter. Interest will only accrue on outstanding principal. Principal and accrued interest are payable in accordance with the terms of this Note.

 

1.                   Advances, Maturity, and Payment . Subject to Lender’s agreement to each draw, Borrower has the right to draw on this Note and make borrowings from Lender in amounts of up to 70% of the value of any specific purchase order (each a “PO”) received by Borrower from a credit worthy customer (each a “Draw Down”), up to a maximum of $3,000,000, commencing on the date of this Note and terminating on the Termination Date, by giving five (5) business days written notice to the Lender of a request for borrowings (the “Evaluation Period”). During the Evaluation Period, if Lender determines in its commercially reasonable judgement that the customer (“Customer”) is not credit worthy, Lender may refuse to advance the Draw Down. Borrower will use commercially reasonable efforts to ensure the credit worthiness of each Customer for which a Draw Down on this Note is proposed. The principal amount outstanding on this Note from time to time is set forth on Schedule A hereto, which will be updated by the Lender as Draw Downs under this Note are made and outstanding amounts owed are repaid. The principal and accrued unpaid interest with respect to each Draw Down is due and payable within five (5) business days of receipt from the Customer by Borrower of a payment due under the applicable PO (with respect to each Draw Down, the “Maturity Date”). Principal and accrued unpaid interest are payable in cash on the Maturity Date unless sooner converted by Lender into Borrower’s equity in accordance with Paragraph 7 of this Note, or unless Lender elects in its sole discretion to have the principal and/or interest payment made in shares of the Borrower’s common stock, as provided in Paragraph 8 of this Note. After the Termination Date, no further Draw Downs are permitted on the Note unless mutually agreed in writing by the Lender and the Borrower, and all outstanding balances on the Note will become due and payable on the earliest to occur of (i) within five (5) business days of receipt from the Customer by Borrower of a payment due under the applicable PO, (ii) 30 days after

1  
 

the due date of a Customer payment on a PO with respect to unpaid POs, or (iii) 60 days after the Termination Date.

 

2.                   Security . Each Draw Down is secured by a perfected recorded second priority security interest in all of the Borrower’s assets (the “Collateral”), as set forth in that certain Security Agreement by and between Borrower and Lender, dated September 14, 2017 (the “Security Agreement”). While each PO is included in the Collateral pledged as security for a Draw Down, the Lender may foreclose on the PO or any other assets of the Borrower in the event of a default by the Borrower under this Note with respect to the Draw Down, subject to the senior lien in favor of the Lender (the “Affiliate Senior Lien”) securing that certain Convertible Secured Promissory Note of even date herewith, having Lender as the lender and Borrower as the borrower, and the conditions in Paragraph 3 of this Note. The Borrower shall have no right to have any portion of the PO released from the security interest until the corresponding Draw Down is repaid in full. Borrower will not cause any liens to be incurred by it that are senior to the Affiliate Senior Lien.

 

3.                   Default . Any of the following shall constitute a default by Borrower hereunder:

 

(a)       The failure of Borrower to make any payment of principal or interest required hereunder within five (5) business days of the due date for such payment; or

 

(b)       The failure of Borrower to fully perform any other material covenants and agreements under this Note and continuance of such failure for a period of ten (10) days after written notice of the default by Lender to the Borrower.

 

Upon the occurrence of a default hereunder, Lender may, at its option, declare immediately due and payable the entire unpaid outstanding balance of principal and interest of this Note owing at the time of such declaration pursuant to this Note. In the event of a default by Borrower under Paragraph 3(a) of this Note, commencing on the first day of the default and continuing thereafter until the default is cured, interest will accrue on unpaid outstanding principal at the rate equal to 500 basis points over the Interest Rate on this Note.

 

4.                   Right of Prepayment . Borrower has the right to prepay all or any portion of any Draw Down at any time during the term of the Note without penalty. Lender will have three (3) business days from receipt of notice of prepayment by the Borrower in which to convert the Draw Down into Borrower’s common stock before the Draw Down is deemed to be repaid.

 

5.                   Rights of Lender . Lender has the right to audit all POs, invoices, and Customer payments related to the Draw Downs.

 

6.                   Covenants of Borrower . Borrower will maintain and deliver to Lender on a monthly basis a ledger detailing the current status of each Draw Down, its corresponding PO, and all related invoices and Customer payments.

 

7.                   Conversion . Lender will have the right at any time until the Maturity Date of a Draw Down, provided Lender gives Borrower written notice of Lender’s election to convert prior to any prepayment of such Draw Down by the Borrower with respect to converting that portion of such Draw Down covered by the prepayment, to convert all or any portion of the outstanding principal and accrued unpaid interest (the “Conversion Amount”), into such number of fully paid

2  
 

and nonassessable shares of the Borrower’s common stock as is determined by dividing the Conversion Amount by the greater of (i) fifteen cents ($0.15) or (ii) 75% of the Volume Weighted Average Price of the Borrower’s common stock that is quoted on a public securities trading market (if more than one, the one with the then highest trading volume), during the five (5) consecutive trading days immediately prior to the date of Lender’s written notice of Lender’s election to convert.

 

8.                   Payment of Interest and Principal . All principal and accrued unpaid interest with respect to each Draw Down is payable in cash on the applicable Maturity Date or, in those instances where the Lender specifically elects (by delivering written notice to Borrower at least one (1) business day before the due date for the payment) to be paid in shares of the Borrower’s common stock rather than in cash, principal and accrued unpaid interest will be payable to Lender into such number of fully paid and nonassessable shares of the Borrower’s common stock as is determined by dividing the amount of principal and accrued unpaid interest due, by the greater of (i) fifteen cents ($0.15) or (ii) 75% of the Volume Weighted Average Price of the Borrower’s common stock that is quoted on a public securities trading market (if more than one, the one with the then highest trading volume), during the five (5) consecutive trading days immediately prior to each applicable Maturity Date. All payments on this Note are credited first to amounts due to Lender pursuant to Paragraph 11 of this Note, if any, then to accrued unpaid interest, then to outstanding principal.

 

9.                   Additional Consideration . As additional consideration for the loan made by the Lender to the Borrower as evidenced by this Note, the Borrower hereby agrees to issue to Lender common stock purchase warrants exercisable for a period of three years from the date of issuance with an exercise price equal to the greater of (i) $0.15 per share or (ii) 75% of the Volume Weighted Average Price of the Borrower’s common stock that is quoted on a public securities trading market (if more than one, the one with the then highest trading volume), during the five (5) consecutive trading days immediately prior to the date of the applicable Draw Down. The number of warrants issuable to Lender pursuant to this Paragraph 9 of the Note will equal 25% of the increase over the highest amount previously drawn down by Borrower on the Note divided by the greater of (i) fifteen cents ($0.15) or (ii) 75% of the Volume Weighted Average Price of the Borrower’s common stock that is quoted on a public securities trading market (if more than one, the one with the then highest trading volume), during the five (5) consecutive trading days immediately prior to the date of the applicable Draw Down which causes the increase over the previous highest amount borrowed. The warrants will be issued to the Lender within five (5) business days after the date of the applicable Draw Down.

 

10.               Use of Proceeds . Borrower covenants to use the proceeds of each Draw Down for costs related to supplies, inventory, labor and other direct costs and overhead required to fulfill the PO related to the Draw Down.

 

11.               Costs of Collections . Lender shall be entitled to collect reasonable attorney's fees and costs from Borrower, as well as other costs and expenses reasonably incurred, in curing any default or attempting collection of any payment due on this Note.

 

12.               Payment. This Note shall be payable at the option of the Lender in lawful money of the United States or cancellation of debt owed by Lender to Borrower for inventory purchases made by Lender.

 

3  
 

13.               Place of Payment . All payments on this Note are to be made or given to Lender at the address first above written or to such other place as Borrower and Lender may from time to time agree by written agreement.

 

14.               Nonrecourse . In the event that the Borrower defaults on this Note, Lender shall look solely to the Borrower and its assets for repayment and none of the shareholders, officers, directors or affiliates of the Borrower shall have any personal liability for payment under this Note.

 

15.               Waiver . Borrower, for itself and its successors, transfers and assigns, waives presentment, dishonor, protest, notice of protest, demand for payment and dishonor in nonpayment of this Note, bringing of suit or diligence of taking any action to collect any sums owing hereunder or in proceeding against any of the rights and properties securing payment hereunder.

 

16.               Severability . If any provision of this Note or the application thereof to any persons or entities or circumstances shall, to any extent, be invalid or unenforceable, the remainder of this Note shall not be deemed affected thereby and every provision of this Note shall be valid and enforceable to the fullest extent permitted by law.

 

17.               No Partner . Lender shall not become or be deemed to be a partner or joint venturer with Borrower by reason of any provision of this Note. Nothing herein shall constitute Borrower and Lender as partners or joint venturers or require Lender to participate in or be responsible or liable for any costs, liabilities, expenses or losses of Borrower.

 

18.               No Waiver . The failure to exercise any rights herein shall not constitute a waiver of the right to exercise the same or any other right at any subsequent time in respect of the same event or any other event.

 

19.               Governing Law . This Note shall be governed by and construed solely in accordance with the laws of the State of California.

 

20.               Entire Agreement . This Note contains the entire understanding and agreement between the parties with respect to the subject matter herein and may not be altered or amended except by the written agreement of the parties.

 

21.        Management Rights . During any time when this Note is outstanding, or when the Lender holds any stock, or any warrants to acquire stock where the combination of both could result in the Lender owning stock with a current value of one million dollars or greater, in the Borrower, Lender shall have the following rights:

 

a.       Lender shall be entitled to consult with and advise management of the Borrower on significant business issues, including management’s proposed annual operating plans, and management will meet with Lender regularly during each year at the Borrower’s facilities at mutually agreeable times for such consultation and advice and to review progress in achieving said plans.

 

b.       Lender may examine the books and records of the Borrower and inspect its facilities and may request information at reasonable times and intervals concerning the general status of the Borrower’s financial condition and operations, provided that access to

4  
 

highly confidential proprietary information and facilities need not be provided.

 

c.       The Borrower shall, concurrently with delivery to the board of directors, give a representative of Lender copies of all notices, minutes, consents and other material that the Borrower provides to its directors, except that the representative may be excluded from access to any material or meeting or portion thereof if the board of directors determines in good faith, upon advice of counsel, that such exclusion is reasonably necessary to preserve the attorney-client privilege, to protect highly confidential proprietary information, or for other similar reasons.  Upon reasonable notice and at a scheduled meeting of the board or such other time, if any, as the board may determine in its sole discretion, such representative may address the board with respect to Lender’s concerns regarding significant business issues facing the Borrower.

 

IN WITNESS WHEREOF , Borrower has executed this Note as of the date first hereinabove written.

2.        Representations as to Ownership .

 

Debtor hereby represents that it has not sold, transferred or otherwise disposed of, or agreed to sell, transfer or otherwise dispose of the Collateral or any part thereof or any interest therein except in the ordinary course of business.

(d)       Until all obligations secured hereby are paid in full, Debtor shall defend the Collateral against the claims and demands of all persons arising out of matters occurring after the delivery hereof, other than matters which are the obligations of Secured Party, and promptly pay, when due, all taxes and assessments upon the Collateral; and

 

(e)       Debtor will execute and Lender will properly record a UCC-1 Financing Statement (which Lender may do without Debtor’s signature), and such other documents, and do such other acts and things, as the Secured Party may reasonably require from time to time to establish and maintain a valid perfected recorded security interest in the Collateral.

Nothing contained in this Warrant shall be construed as conferring upon the Holder the right to vote, consent or receive notice as a shareholder in respect of any meetings of shareholders for the election of directors or any other matter, or as having any rights whatsoever as a shareholder of the Company, until Shares are duly and properly issued to the Holder upon the exercise of this Warrant.

 

1.7        Lost Certificates . If this Warrant is lost, stolen, mutilated or destroyed, the Company shall, on such reasonable terms as to indemnity or otherwise as it may impose (which shall, in the case of a mutilated Warrant, include the surrender thereof), issue a new Warrant of like denomination and tenor as, and in substitution for, this Warrant, which shall thereupon become void.

Adjustment of Purchase Price

and Number of Shares Purchasable upon Exercise

Any adjustment under this subsection 2.1 shall become effective at the close of business on the date the subdivision or combination becomes effective.

2.2        Dividends and Distributions . In the event the Company at any time, or from time to time after the issuance date of this Warrant makes, or fixes a record date for the determination of holders of Common Stock entitled to receive, a dividend or other distribution payable in additional shares of Common Stock, then and in each such event the Purchase Price then in effect shall be decreased as of the time of such issuance or, in the event such a record date is fixed, as of the close of business on such record date, by multiplying the Purchase Price then in effect by a fraction (i) the numerator of which is the total number of shares of Common Stock issued and outstanding immediately prior to the time of such issuance or the close of business on such record date, and (ii) the denominator of which shall be the total number of shares of Common Stock issued and outstanding immediately prior to the time of such issuance or the close of business on such record date plus the number of shares of Common Stock issuable in payment of such dividend or distribution; provided, however, that if such record date is fixed and such dividend is not fully paid or if such distribution is not fully made on the date fixed therefor, the Purchase Price shall be recomputed accordingly as of the close of business on such record date and thereafter the Purchase Price shall be adjusted pursuant to this subsection 2.2 as of the time of actual payment of such dividends or distributions.

 

2.3        Recapitalization or Reclassification . If the Shares issuable upon the exercise of the Warrant are changed into the same or a different number of shares of any class or classes of stock, whether by recapitalization, reclassification or otherwise (other than a subdivision or combination of shares or stock dividend or a reorganization, merger, consolidation or sale of assets, provided for elsewhere in this Section 2), then, and in any such event, the Holder shall thereafter be entitled to receive upon exercise of this Warrant such number and kind of stock or other securities or property of the Company to which a holder of Shares deliverable upon exercise of this Warrant would have been entitled on such reclassification or other change, subject to further adjustment as provided herein.
