NOTES TO CONDENSED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS - UNAUDITED

MARCH 31, 2018

 

1. BASIS OF PRESENTATION

 

The accompanying unaudited condensed financial statements have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America for interim financial information and with the instructions to Form 10-Q and Rule 10-01 of S-X Regulation Accordingly, they do not include all of the information and footnotes required by generally accepted accounting principles for complete financial statements. In the opinion of management, all normal recurring adjustments considered necessary for a fair presentation have been included.  Operating results for the nine months ended March 31, 2018 are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the year ending June 30, 2018.  For further information refer to the financial statements and footnotes thereto included in the Company's Form 10-K for the year ended June 30, 2017.

 

Going Concern

 

The accompanying financial statements have been prepared on a going concern basis of accounting, which contemplates continuity of operations, realization of assets and liabilities and commitments in the normal course of business. The accompanying financial statements do not reflect any adjustments that might result if the Company is unable to continue as a going concern. The Company does not generate revenue, and has negative cash flows from operations, which raise substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern. The ability of the Company to continue as a going concern and appropriateness of using the going concern basis is dependent upon, among other things, additional cash infusion. The Company has historically obtained funds through private placement offerings of equity and debt. Management believes that it will be able to continue to raise funds by sale of its securities to its existing shareholders and prospective new investors to provide the additional cash needed to meet the Company’s obligations as they become due, and will allow the development of its core business. There is no assurance that the Company will be able to continue raising the required capital.

 

2. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

 

This summary of significant accounting policies of HyperSolar, Inc. is presented to assist in understanding the Company’s financial statements. The financial statements and notes are representations of the Company’s management, which is responsible for their integrity and objectivity. These accounting policies conform to accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America and have been consistently applied in the preparation of the financial statements.

 

Cash and Cash Equivalent

 

The Company considers all highly liquid investments with an original maturity of three months or less to be cash equivalents.

 

Use of Estimates

 

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the amounts reported in the accompanying financial statements. Significant estimates made in preparing these financial statements include the estimate of useful lives of intangible assets, derivatives, and the deferred tax valuation allowance. Actual results could differ from those estimates.

 

Intangible Assets

 

Intangible assets consist of patents that are initially measured at the lower of cost or fair value. The patents are assessed annually for impairment, or whenever conditions indicate the asset may be impaired, and any such impairment will be recognized in the period identified. Patents are amortized straight-line over 15 years.

 

Net Earnings (Loss) per Share Calculations

 

Net earnings (Loss) per share dictates the calculation of basic earnings (loss) per share and diluted earnings per share. Basic earnings (loss) per share are computed by dividing by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding during the year. Diluted net earnings (loss) per share is computed similar to basic earnings (loss) per share except that the denominator is increased to include the effect of stock options and stock based awards (Note 4), plus the assumed conversion of convertible debt (Note 5).  

 

For the nine months ended March 31, 2018, the Company calculated the dilutive impact of the outstanding stock options of 10,250,000, and the convertible debt of $1,814,500, which is convertible into shares of common stock. The stock options and the convertible debt were not included in the calculation of net earnings per share, because their impact was antidilutive.

 

For the nine months ended March 31, 2017, the Company calculated the dilutive impact of the outstanding stock options of 250,000, and the convertible debt of $1,427,500, which is convertible into shares of common stock. The stock options and the convertible debt were included in the calculation of net loss per share, because their impact was dilutive.

2. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (Continued)

 

Stock based Compensation

 

The Company periodically issues stock options and warrants to employees and non-employees in non-capital raising transactions for services and for financing costs. The Company accounts for stock option and warrant grants issued and vesting to employees based on the authoritative guidance provided by the Financial Accounting Standards Board whereas the value of the award is measured on the date of grant and recognized over the vesting period. The Company accounts for stock option and warrant grants issued and vesting to non-employees in accordance with the authoritative guidance of the Financial Accounting Standards Board whereas the value of the stock compensation is based upon the measurement date as determined at either a) the date at which a performance commitment is reached, or b) at the date at which the necessary performance to earn the equity instruments is complete. Non-employee stock-based compensation charges generally are amortized over the vesting period on a straight-line basis. In certain circumstances where there are no future performance requirements by the non-employee, option grants are immediately vested and the total stock-based compensation charge is recorded in the period of the measurement date.

 

Fair Value of Financial Instruments

 

Fair value of financial instruments, requires disclosure of the fair value information, whether or not recognized in the balance sheet, where it is practicable to estimate that value. As of March 31, 2018, the amounts reported for cash, accrued interest and other expenses, notes payables, and derivative liability approximate the fair value because of their short maturities.

 

We adopted ASC Topic 820 for financial instruments measured as fair value on a recurring basis. ASC Topic 820 defines fair value, established a framework for measuring fair value in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States and expands disclosures about fair value measurements.

 

Fair value is defined as the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date. ASC Topic 820 established a three-tier fair value hierarchy which prioritizes the inputs used in measuring fair value. The hierarchy gives the highest priority to unadjusted quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities (level 1measurements) and the lowest priority to unobservable inputs (level 3 measurements). These tiers include:

 

Level 1, defined as observable inputs such as quoted prices for identical instruments in active markets;
Level 2, defined as inputs other than quoted prices in active markets that are either directly or indirectly observable such as quoted prices for similar instruments in active markets or quoted prices for identical or similar instruments in markets that are not active; and
Level 3, defined as unobservable inputs in which little or no market data exists, therefore requiring an entity to develop its own assumptions, such as valuations derived from valuation techniques in which one or more significant inputs or significant value drivers are unobservable.

 

We measure certain financial instruments at fair value on a recurring basis. Assets and liabilities measured at fair value on a recurring basis are as follows at March 31, 2018 (See Note 6):

 

      Total     (Level 1)     (Level 2)     (Level 3)  
  Liabilities                                
                                   
  Derivative liability     15,988,897              -             -       15,988,897  
  Total derivative liabilities measured at fair value   $ 15,988,897     $ -     $ -     $ 15,988,897  

 

The following is a reconciliation of the derivative liability for which Level 3 inputs were used in determining the approximate fair value:

 

  Balance as of July 1, 2017   $ 2,482,842  
  Fair value of derivative liabilities issued     81,892  
  Loss on change in derivative liability     13,424,163  
  Balance as of  March 31, 2018   $ 15,988,897  

 

Accounting for Derivatives

 

The Company evaluates all of its financial instruments to determine if such instruments are derivatives or contain features that qualify as embedded derivatives. For derivative financial instruments that are accounted for as liabilities, the derivative instrument is initially recorded at its fair value and is then re-valued at each reporting date, with changes in the fair value reported in the statements of operations. For stock-based derivative financial instruments, the Company uses a probability weighted average series Binomial lattice formula pricing models to value the derivative instruments at inception and on subsequent valuation dates.

 

The classification of derivative instruments, including whether such instruments should be recorded as liabilities or as equity, is evaluated at the end of each reporting period. Derivative instrument liabilities are classified in the balance sheet as current or non-current based on whether or not net-cash settlement of the derivative instrument could be required within 12 months of the balance sheet date.

2. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (Continued)

 

Recently Issued Accounting Pronouncements

 

In August 2017, FASB issued accounting standards update ASU-2017-12, “D” (Topic 815) – “Targeted Improvements to Accounting for Hedging Activities”, to require an entity to present the earnings effect of the hedging instrument in the same statement line item in which the earnings effect of the hedged item is reported. The amendments in this update are effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2018, and interim periods within those fiscal years. For all other entities, the amendments are effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2019, and interim periods with the fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2020. Early adoption is permitted in any interim period after issuance of the update. The Company is currently evaluating the impact of the adoption of ASU-2017 on the Company’s financial statements.

 

Management does not believe that any other recently issued, but not yet effective, accounting standards if currently adopted would have a material effect on the accompanying condensed financial statements.

 

3. CAPITAL STOCK

 

During the nine months ended March 31, 2018, the Company issued 110,955,634 shares of common stock upon conversion of convertible notes in the amount of $208,500 in principal, plus accrued interest of $62,556, with an aggregate fair value loss on settlement of $646,654, based upon conversion prices of $0.0070 and $0.0165.

 

4. STOCK OPTIONS

The balance of the November Note as of March 31, 2018 was $295,000.

 

ASC Topic 815 provides guidance applicable to convertible debt issued by the Company in instances where the number into which the debt can be converted is not fixed. For example, when a convertible debt converts at a discount to market based on the stock price on the date of conversion, ASC Topic 815 requires that the embedded conversion option of the convertible debt be bifurcated from the host contract and recorded at their fair value. In accounting for derivatives under accounting standards, the Company recorded a liability representing the estimated present value of the conversion feature considering the historic volatility of the Company’s stock, and a discount representing the imputed interest associated with the embedded derivative. The discount is amortized over the life of the convertible debt, and the derivative liability is adjusted periodically according to stock price fluctuations.

 

6. DERIVATIVE LIABILITIES

 

The convertible notes (the “Notes”) issued and described in Note 5 do not have fixed settlement provisions because their conversion prices are not fixed. The conversion features have been characterized as derivative liabilities to be re-measured at the end of every reporting period with the change in value reported in the statement of operations.

 

During the nine months ended March 31, 2018, as a result of the Notes issued that were accounted for as derivative liabilities, we determined that the fair value of the conversion feature of the convertible notes at issuance was $81,892, based upon the Binomial lattice formula. We recorded the full value of the derivative as a liability at issuance with an offset to valuation discount, which will be amortized over the life of the Notes.

 

During the nine months ended March 31, 2018, the Company recorded a net loss in change in derivative of $13,424,163, plus the loss on settlement of debt in the amount of $646,654 for an aggregate of $14,070,817 in the statement of operations due to the change in fair value of the remaining Notes. At March 31, 2018, the fair value of the derivative liability was $15,988,897.

Overview

 

At Hyper Solar, we are developing an innovative NanoParticle technology to produce low cost renewable hydrogen using solar. For over a century, splitting water molecules into hydrogen and oxygen using electrolysis has been well known. This technology can be used to produce an unlimited amount of clean and renewable hydrogen fuel to power a carbon-free world. However, in practice, current commercial electrolysis technologies require (a) expensive electricity and (b) highly purified water to prevent fouling of system components. These are the major barriers to affordable production of renewable hydrogen. We believe our process, using earth abundant elements, in a nanoscale structure can overcome these barriers.

 

On November 15, 2011, we filed a provisional patent application with the U.S. Patent and Trademark Office to protect the intellectual property rights for “Photoelectrochemically Active Heterostructures, Methods for Their Manufacture, And Methods And Systems For Producing Desired Products.” On March 14, 2017, this patent was granted as United States Patent No. 9,593,053. The patent protects the Company’s proprietary design of a self-contained solar-to-hydrogen device made up of millions of solar powered water-splitting nanoparticles, per square centimeter. In March of 2018, we were issued Patent No. 9,935,234 from the United States Patent and Trademark Office for “Methods of Manufacturing Photoelectrosynthetically Active Heterostructures.” This patent is critical to protecting the intellectual property related to the development of our nanoparticle technology. We have multiple other patents pending for the methods of manufacturing these particles and a system to house them.

 

Our strategy has been to partner with major universities for the research and development or our technology. Currently we have agreements with the University of California, Santa Barbara and the University of Iowa.

Critical Accounting Policies

 

Our discussion and analysis of our financial condition and results of operations are based upon our financial statements, which have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America. The preparation of these financial statements requires us to make estimates and judgments that affect the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, revenues and expenses, and related disclosures of contingent assets and liabilities. On an ongoing basis, we evaluate our estimates, including those related to impairment of property, plant and equipment, intangible assets, deferred tax assets and fair value computation using the Black Scholes option pricing model. We base our estimates on historical experience and on various other assumptions, such as the trading value of our common stock and estimated future undiscounted cash flows, that we believe to be reasonable under the circumstances, the results of which form the basis for making judgments about the carrying value of assets and liabilities that are not readily apparent from other sources. Actual results may differ from these estimates under different assumptions or conditions; however, we believe that our estimates, including those for the above-described items, are reasonable.

 

Use of Estimates

 

In accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States, management utilizes estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and the disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements as well as the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates. These estimates and assumptions relate to recording net revenue, collectability of accounts receivable, useful lives and impairment of tangible and intangible assets, accruals, income taxes, inventory realization, stock-based compensation expense, Black Scholes valuation model inputs, derivative liabilities and other factors. Management believes it has exercised reasonable judgment in deriving these estimates. Consequently, a change in conditions could affect these estimates.

 

Fair Value of Financial Instruments

 

Fair value of financial instruments, requires disclosure of the fair value information, whether or not recognized in the balance sheet, where it is practicable to estimate that value. As of March 31, 2018, the amounts reported for cash, accrued interest and other expenses, notes payables, and derivative liability approximate the fair value because of their short maturities.

 

We adopted ASC Topic 820 for financial instruments measured as fair value on a recurring basis. ASC Topic 820 defines fair value, established a framework for measuring fair value in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States and expands disclosures about fair value measurements.

Recently Issued Accounting Pronouncements

 

Management reviewed currently issued pronouncements during the nine months ended March 31, 2018, and does not believe that any recently issued, but not yet effective, accounting standards if currently adopted would have a material effect on the accompanying condensed financial statements. Pronouncements disclosed in notes to the financials.

 

Results of Operations for the Three Months Ended March 31, 2018 compared to Three Months Ended March 31, 2017.

 

Operating Expenses

 

Operating expenses for the three months ended March 31, 2018 were $171,230 and $163,976 for the prior period ended March 31, 2017. The net increase of $7,254 in operating expenses consisted primarily of an increase in research and development cost in the amount of $23,559, overall increase in other general and administrative expenses of $5,025, with a decrease in advertising in the amount of $5,009, and professional fees in the amount of $16,321.

The increase in net loss of $17,910,071 was related primarily to the increase in other income and (expenses) associated with non-cash cost of the fair value of the derivative instruments, with an overall increase in operating expenses. The Company has not generated any revenues.

 

LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES

 

Liquidity is the ability of a company to generate funds to support its current and future operations, satisfy its obligations, and otherwise operate on an ongoing basis. Significant factors in the management of liquidity are funds generated by operations, levels of accounts receivable and accounts payable and capital expenditures.

 

As of March 31, 2018, we had a working capital deficit of $16,767,402 as compared to $3,141,945 as of June 30, 2017. This increase in working capital deficit of $13,625,457 was due primarily to a decrease in cash, and prepaid expense, and current portion of convertible notes, offset by an increase in other assets, accounts payable, accrued expenses, and non-cash derivative liability.

 

Cash used in operating activities was $480,740 for the nine months ended March 31, 2018 and $457,932 for the prior period ended March 31, 2017. The increase in cash used in operating activities was due to an increase in research and development cost. The Company has had no revenues.

 

Cash used in investing activities during the nine months ended March 31, 2018 and 2017 was $14,719 and $0, respectively. The increase in investing activities was due to an increase in the purchase of tangible and intangible assets in the current period.

 

Cash provided by financing activities during the nine months ended March 31, 2018 and 2017 was $490,000 and $390,000, respectively. The increase is a result of an increased in borrowing to cover our general expenses, research related expenses and protection of our intellectual property. Our ability to continue as a going concern is dependent upon raising capital through financing transactions and future revenue. Our capital needs have primarily been met from the proceeds of private placements of our security, as we currently have not generated any revenues.

The condensed financial statements have been prepared on a going concern basis of accounting, which contemplates continuity of operations, realization of assets and liabilities and commitments in the normal course of business. The accompanying condensed financial statements do not reflect any adjustments that might result if we are unable to continue as a going concern. During the nine months ended March 31, 2018, we did not generate any revenues, incurred net loss of $14,873,411, which was primarily associated with the net change in derivative instruments, and cash used in operations of $480,740. As of March 31, 2018, we had a working capital deficiency of $16,519,819 and a shareholders’ deficit of $18,176,885. These factors, among others raise substantial doubt about our ability to continue as a going concern. Our independent auditors, in their report on our audited financial statements for the year ended June 30, 2017, expressed substantial doubt about our ability to continue as a going concern. Our ability to continue as a going concern ultimately is dependent on our ability to generate revenue, which is dependent upon our ability to obtain additional equity or debt financing, attain further operating efficiencies and, ultimately, achieve profitable operations. We have historically obtained funds from our shareholders through the sale of our securities. Management believes that we will be able to continue to raise funds through the sale of our securities to existing and new investors. Management believes that funding from existing and prospective new investors and future revenue will provide the additional cash needed to meet our obligations as they become due, and will allow the development of our core business operations.

 

PLAN OF OPERATION AND FINANCING NEEDS

 

Our plan of operation within the next twelve months is to further research, develop, and protect our technology.

 

We believe that our current cash balances will be sufficient to support development activity, intellectual property protection, and all general and administrative expenses for the next 30 days. Management estimate that we will require additional cash resources during 2018, based upon its current operating plan and condition. We have entered into a convertible note with an investor which provides us access to additional capital in the aggregate remaining balance of $135,000. However, the convertible note contains a beneficial ownership blocker which limits conversions which would result in the holder owning more than 4.99% of our outstanding common shares. We are investigating additional financing alternatives, including continued equity and/or debt financing. There can be no assurance that capital in any form would be available to us, and if available, on terms and conditions that are acceptable. If we are unable to obtain sufficient funds, we may be forced to reduce the size of our operations, which could have a material adverse impact on, or cause us to curtail and/or cease the development of our products.

 

Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements

 

We do not have any off-balance sheet arrangements that are reasonably likely to have a current or future effect on our financial condition, revenues or expenses, result of operations, liquidity or capital expenditures.

EXHIBIT 10.1

 

CONVERTIBLE PROMISSORY NOTE

$500,000

 

FOR VALUE RECEIVED, HyperSolar, Inc. , a Nevada corporation, (the “Borrower”) with approximately 399,043,630 shares of common stock issued and outstanding, promises to pay to Bountiful Capital, LLC , a Nevada limited liability company , or its assignees (the “Lender”) the Principal Sum along with the Interest and any other fees according to the terms herein (this “Note”). This Note shall become effective on May 23, 2014 (the “Effective Date”).

 

The Principal Sum is Five Hundred Thousand Dollars ( $500,000 ) plus accrued and unpaid interest. The Consideration is Five Hundred Thousand Dollars ($500,000) payable by wire . The Lender shall pay Fifty Thousand Dollars ($50,000) of the Consideration upon execution of this Note. The Lender may pay additional Consideration to the Borrower in such amounts and at such dates as the Lender may choose in its sole discretion. The Principal Sum due to the Lender, and as referenced hereinafter, shall be the Consideration(s) actually paid by the Lender such that the Borrower is only required to repay the amount funded and the Borrower is not required to repay any unfunded portion of this Note, nor shall any interest or other rights or remedies granted herein extend to any unfunded portion of this Note

 

1. Maturity Date . The Maturity Date is twelve (12) months from the Effective Date of each payment of Consideration (the “Maturity Date”) and is the date upon which the Principal Sum of this Note and unpaid interest and fees (the “Note Amount”) shall be due and payable.

 

2. Interest . This Note shall bear interest at the rate of Ten Percent ( 10% ) per year.

 

3. Conversion . The Lender has the right, at any time after the Effective Date, at its election, to convert all or part of the Note Amount into shares of fully paid and non-assessable shares of common stock of the Borrower (the “Common Stock”). The conversion price shall be the lesser of (a) $0.0048 per share of Common Stock or (b) Fifty Percent ( 50% ) of the lowest trade price of Common Stock recorded on any trade day after the Effective Date (the “Conversion Price”). The Conversion Price shall be subject to a conversion floor price described in Section 4 of this Note. The conversion formula shall be as follows: Number of shares receivable upon conversion equals the dollar conversion amount divided by the Conversion Price. A conversion notice (the “Conversion Notice”) may be delivered to Borrower by method of Lender’s choice (including but not limited to email, facsimile, mail, overnight courier, or personal delivery), and all conversions shall be cashless and not require further payment from the Lender. If no objection is delivered from the Borrower to the Lender, with respect to any variable or calculation reflected in the Conversion Notice within 24 hours of delivery of the Conversion Notice, the Borrower shall have been thereafter deemed to have irrevocably confirmed and irrevocably ratified such notice of conversion and waived any objection thereto. The Borrower shall deliver the shares of Common Stock from any conversion to the Lender (in any name directed by the Lender) within three (3) business days of Conversion Notice delivery. The Borrower represents that it is participating in the Depository Trust Company (“DTC”) Fast Automated Securities Transfer (“FAST”) program, and upon request of the Lender and provided that the shares to be issued are eligible for transfer under Rule 144 of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”), or are effectively registered under the Securities Act, the Borrower shall cause its transfer agent to electronically issue the Common Stock issuable upon conversion to the Lender through the DTC Direct Registration System (“DRS”). The Conversion Price shall be subject to equitable adjustments for stock splits, stock dividends or rights offerings by the Borrower relating to the Borrower’s securities or the securities of any subsidiary of the Borrower, combinations, recapitalization, reclassifications, extraordinary distributions and similar events.

4. Conversion Floor . The Borrower has the right to enforce a conversion floor price of $0.01 per share (the “Conversion Floor Price”). If Borrower receives a Conversion Notice in which the Conversion Price is less than the Conversion Floor Price and elects to enforce the Conversion Floor Price, then the Lender will incur a conversion loss, which the Borrower must make whole by paying the amount of the conversion loss by cash payment, and any such cash payment must be made by the third day from the time of the Conversion Notice. The conversion loss shall be defined as follows:

 

Conversion Loss = [(High trade price on the day of conversion) x (Number of shares that would have been issued if there was no floor)] – [(High trade price on the day of conversion) x (number of shares being issued with the floor)].

 

In the event that any Borrower default occurs among any of the agreements between the Borrower and Lender, inclusive of the terms of conversion, the terms of this Section 4 shall automatically and permanently terminate.

 

In the event that the Borrower either (a) issues stock at any price in any type of issuance or sale including but not limited to sale, conversion, exchange, and compensation to any party (including the Lender) below the Conversion Floor Price, or (b) if the Borrower enters into any agreement that may in the future provide for such issuance at any price, in any type of issuance or sale including but not limited to sale, conversion, exchange, and compensation to any party (including the Lender) below the Conversion Floor Price, then the terms of this Section 4 shall automatically and permanently terminate. In the event that the Borrower enters into any agreement that provides for a floorless conversion, or floorless convertible, or floorless exchangeable security, then the terms of this Section 4 shall automatically and permanently terminate.

 

5. Conversion Delays . If Borrower fails to deliver shares in accordance with the timeframe stated in Section 3 , the Lender, at any time prior to selling all of those shares, may rescind any portion, in whole or in part, of that particular conversion attributable to the unsold shares and have the rescinded conversion amount returned to the Principal Sum with the rescinded conversion shares returned to the Borrower (under the Lender’s and the Borrower’s expectations that any returned conversion amounts shall tack back to the original date of this Note). In addition, for each conversion, in the event that shares are not delivered by the fourth business day (inclusive of the day of conversion), a penalty of $2,000 per day shall be assessed for each day after the third business day (inclusive of the day of the conversion) until share delivery is made; and such penalty shall be added to the Principal Sum of this Note (under the Lender’s and the Borrower’s expectations that any penalty amounts shall tack back to the original date of this Note).

 

2

 

 

6. Limitation of Conversions . In no event shall the Lender be entitled to convert any portion of this Note in excess of that portion of this Note upon conversion of which the sum of (1) the number of shares of Common Stock beneficially owned by the Lender and its affiliates (other than shares of Common Stock which may be deemed beneficially owned through the ownership of the unconverted portion of this Note or the unexercised or unconverted portion of any other security of the Borrower subject to a limitation on conversion or exercise analogous to the limitations contained herein) and (2) the number of shares of Common Stock issuable upon the conversion of the portion of this Note with respect to which the determination of this proviso is being made, would result in beneficial ownership by the Lender and its affiliates of more than 4.99% of the outstanding shares of Common Stock. For purposes of the proviso of the immediately preceding sentence, beneficial ownership shall be determined in accordance with Section 13(d) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”), and Regulations 13D-G thereunder, except as otherwise provided in clause (1) of such proviso, provided, further, however, that the limitations on conversion may be waived by the Lender upon, at the election of the Lender, not less than 61 days prior notice to the Borrower, and the provisions of the conversion limitation shall continue to apply until such 61st day (or such later date, as determined by the Lender, as may be specified in such notice of waiver).

 

7. Payment . The Borrower may not prepay this Note prior to the Maturity Date. Within six (6) days prior to the Maturity Date, Borrower shall provide Lender with a written notice to pay the Note Amount on the Maturity Date. Within three (3) days of receiving written notice, the Lender shall elect to either (a) accept payment of the Note Amount or (b) convert any part of the Note Amount into shares of Common Stock. If the Lender elects to convert part of the Note Amount into shares of Common Stock, then the Borrower shall pay the remaining balance of the Note Amount by the Maturity Date.

 

8. Piggyback Registration Rights . The Borrower shall include on the next registration statement the Borrower files with the SEC (or on the subsequent registration statement if such registration statement is withdrawn) all shares of Common Stock issuable upon conversion of this Note unless such shares of Common Stock are eligible for resale under Rule 144. Failure to do so shall result in liquidated damages of Twenty Five Percent ( 25% ) of the outstanding principal balance of this Note being immediately due and payable to the Lender at its election in the form of cash payment or addition to the balance of this Note.

 

9. Terms of Other Financings . So long as this Note, or other convertible note transactions currently in effect between the Lender and Borrower, are outstanding (the “Outstanding Notes”), upon any issuance (including this Note) by the Borrower or any of its subsidiaries of any security with any term more favorable to the holder of such security or with a term in favor of the holder of such security that was not similarly provided to the Lender in the Outstanding Notes, then such additional or more favorable term shall, at Lender’s option, become a part of any or all of the Outstanding Notes with the Lender. The Borrower shall promptly notify the Lender of any additional or more favorable terms and respond promptly to Lender’s periodic inquiry about any favorable additional terms. The types of terms contained in another security that may be more favorable to the holder of such security include, but are not limited to, terms addressing conversion discounts, conversion price, conversion look back periods, interest rates, original issue discounts, loan default fees, stock sale price, private placement price per share, and warrant coverage. For purposes of clarification, the issuance of any common stock resulting from the conversion of another security, whether issued and outstanding before or after the Effective Date, at a net effective price per share below the Conversion Price shall result in an adjustment of the Conversion Price to such lower price per share.

10. Lender’s Representations . The Lender hereby represents and warrants to the Borrower that (i) it is an “accredited investor” as such term is defined in Rule 501(a) of Regulation D promulgated under the Securities Act, (ii) it understands that this Note and the shares of Common Stock underlying this Note (collectively, the “Securities”) have not been registered under the Securities Act by reason of a claimed exemption under the provisions of the Securities Act that depends, in part, upon the Lender’s investment intention; in this connection, the Lender hereby represents that it is purchasing the Securities for the Lender’s own account for investment and not with a view toward the resale or distribution to others; provided, that Lender may syndicate participations in the Securities among a limited number of participants who all meet the suitability standards of an “accredited investor” as defined in Rule 501(a) of Regulation D of the Securities Act and will share among themselves and the Lender an economic interest in the Securities on a pari passu, pass through basis with investment intent, such that the availability of the private placement exemption for the issuance of the Note under Rule 506 of Regulation D of the Securities Act is preserved, (iii) the Lender, if an entity, further represents that it was not formed for the purpose of purchasing the Securities, (iv) the Lender acknowledges that the issuance of this Note has not been reviewed by the United States Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) nor any state regulatory authority since the issuance of this Note is intended to be exempt from the registration requirements of Section 4(2) of the Securities Act and Rule 506 of Regulation D, and (v) the Lender acknowledges receipt and careful review of this Note, the Borrower’s filings with the SEC (including without limitation, any risk factors included in the Borrower’s most recent Annual Report on Form 10-K), and any documents which may have been made available upon request as reflected therein, and hereby represents that it has been furnished by the Borrower with all information regarding the Borrower, the terms and conditions of the purchase and any additional information that the Lender has requested or desired to know, and has been afforded the opportunity to ask questions of and receive answers from duly authorized officers or other representatives of the Borrower concerning the Borrower and the terms and conditions of the purchase.

 

11. Borrower’s Representations. The Borrower is duly organized, validly existing and in good standing under the laws of the jurisdiction of its organization with full power and authority to own, lease, license and use its properties and assets and to carry out the business in which it proposes to engage. The Borrower has the requisite corporate power and authority to execute, deliver and perform its obligations under this Note and to issue and sell this Note. All necessary proceedings of the Borrower have been duly taken to authorize the execution, delivery, and performance of this Note. When this Note is executed and delivered by the Borrower, it will constitute the legal, valid and binding obligation of the Borrower enforceable against the Borrower in accordance with their terms, except as such enforceability may be limited by general principles of equity or to applicable bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization, moratorium, liquidation and other similar laws relating to, or affecting generally, the enforcement of applicable creditors' rights and remedies.

 

4

 

 

12. Default . The following are events of default under this Note: (i) the Borrower shall fail to pay any principal under this Note when due and payable (or payable by conversion) thereunder; or (ii) the Borrower shall fail to pay any interest or any other amount under this Note when due and payable (or payable by conversion) thereunder; or (iii) a receiver, trustee or other similar official shall be appointed over the Borrower or a material part of its assets and such appointment shall remain uncontested for twenty (20) days or shall not be dismissed or discharged within sixty (60) days; or (iv) the Borrower shall become insolvent or generally fails to pay, or admits in writing its inability to pay, its debts as they become due, subject to applicable grace periods, if any; or (v) the Borrower shall make a general assignment for the benefit of creditors; or (vi) the Borrower shall file a petition for relief under any bankruptcy, insolvency or similar law (domestic or foreign); or (vii) an involuntary proceeding shall be commenced or filed against the Borrower; or (viii) the Borrower shall lose its status as “DTC Eligible” or the Borrower’s shareholders shall lose the ability to deposit (either electronically or by physical certificates, or otherwise) shares into the DTC System; or (ix) the Borrower shall become delinquent in its filing requirements as a fully-reporting issuer registered with the SEC; or (x) the Borrower shall commit a material breach of any of its covenants, representations or warranties in this Note.

 

13. Remedies . In the event of any default, the Note Amount shall become immediately due and payable at the Mandatory Default Amount. The Mandatory Default Amount shall be 150% of the Note Amount. Commencing five (5) days after the occurrence of any event of default that results in the eventual acceleration of this Note, the interest rate on the Mandatory Default Amount shall accrue at a default interest rate equal to the lesser of ten percent (10%) per annum or the maximum rate permitted under applicable law. In connection with such acceleration described herein, the Lender need not provide, and the Borrower hereby waives, any presentment, demand, protest or other notice of any kind, and the Lender may immediately and without expiration of any grace period enforce any and all of its rights and remedies hereunder and all other remedies available to it under applicable law. While the Mandatory Default Amount is outstanding and default interest is accruing, the Lender shall have all rights as a holder of this Note until such time as the Lender receives full payment pursuant to this paragraph, or has converted all the remaining Mandatory Default Amount and any other outstanding fees and interest into Common Stock under the terms of this Note. In the event of any default and at the request of the Lender, the Borrower shall file a registration statement with the SEC to register all shares of Common Stock issuable upon conversion of this Note that are otherwise eligible to have their restrictive transfer legend removed under Rule 144 of the Securities Act. Nothing herein shall limit Lender’s right to pursue any other remedies available to it at law or in equity including, without limitation, a decree of specific performance and/or injunctive relief with respect to the Borrower’s failure to timely deliver certificates representing shares of Common Stock upon conversion of this Note as required pursuant to the terms hereof.

 

14. No Shorting . Lender agrees that so long as this Note from Borrower to Lender remains outstanding, the Lender shall not enter into or effect “short sales” of the Common Stock or hedging transaction which establishes a net short position with respect to the Common Stock of the Borrower. The Borrower acknowledges and agrees that upon delivery of a Conversion Notice by the Lender, the Lender immediately owns the shares of Common Stock described in the Conversion Notice and any sale of those shares issuable under such Conversion Notice would not be considered short sales.

15. Assignability . The Borrower may not assign this Note. This Note shall be binding upon the Borrower and its successors and shall inure to the benefit of the Lender and its successors and assigns and may be assigned by the Lender to anyone of its choosing without Borrower’s approval subject to applicable securities laws.

 

16. Governing Law . This Note shall be governed by, and construed and enforced in accordance with, the laws of the State of Nevada , without regard to the conflict of laws principles thereof. Any action brought by either party against the other concerning the transactions contemplated by this Agreement shall be brought only in the state courts of Nevada or in the federal courts located in Clark County , in the State of Nevada . Both parties and the individuals signing this Agreement agree to submit to the jurisdiction of such courts.

 

17. Delivery of Process by the Lender to the Borrower .

18. Attorney Fees . In the event any attorney is employed by either party to this Note with regard to any legal or equitable action, arbitration or other proceeding brought by such party for the enforcement of this Note or because of an alleged dispute, breach, default or misrepresentation in connection with any of the provisions of this Note, the prevailing party in such proceeding shall be entitled to recover from the other party reasonable attorneys' fees and other costs and expenses incurred, including but not limited to post judgment costs, in addition to any other relief to which the prevailing party may be entitled.

 

19. Transfer Agent Instructions . In the event that an opinion of counsel, such as but not limited to a Rule 144 opinion, is needed for any matter related to this Note or the Common Stock the Lender has the right to have any such opinion provided by its counsel. If the Lender chooses to have its counsel provide such opinion, then the Lender shall provide the Borrower with written notice. Within three (3) business days of receiving written notice, the Borrower shall instruct its transfer agent to rely upon opinions from the Lender’s counsel (the “Transfer Agent Reliance Letter”). A penalty of $2,000 per day shall be assessed for each day after the third business day (inclusive of the day of request) until the Transfer Agent Reliance Letter is delivered. If the Lender requests that the Borrower’s counsel issue an opinion, then the Borrower shall cause the issuance of the requested opinion within three (3) business days. A penalty of $2,000 per day shall be assessed for each day after the third business day (inclusive of the day of request) until the requested opinion is delivered. The Lender and the Borrower agree that all penalty amounts shall be added to the Principal Sum of this Note and shall tack back to the Effective Date of this Note, with respect to the holding period under Rule 144. In the event that the Borrower proposes to replace its transfer agent, the Borrower shall provide, prior to the effective date of such replacement, a fully executed Irrevocable Transfer Agent Reliance Letter in a form as initially delivered pursuant to this Note. The Borrower warrants that it will not direct its transfer agent not to transfer or delay, impair, and/or hinder its transfer agent in transferring (or issuing)(electronically or in certificated form) any certificate for the Securities to be issued to the Lender and it will not fail to remove (or direct its transfer agent not to remove or impair, delay, and/or hinder its transfer agent from removing) any restrictive legend (or to withdraw any stop transfer instructions in respect thereof) on any certificate for the Securities when required by this Note. The Borrower acknowledges that a breach by it of its obligations hereunder will cause irreparable harm to the Lender by vitiating the intent and purpose of the transactions contemplated hereby. Accordingly, the Borrower acknowledges that the remedy at law for a breach of its obligations under this Note may be inadequate and agrees, in the event of a breach or threatened breach by the Borrower of these provisions, that the Lender shall be entitled, in addition to all other available remedies, to an injunction restraining any breach and requiring immediate transfer, without the necessity of showing economic loss and without any bond or other security being required.

 

20. Disclosure of Material Non-Public Information . Borrower agrees not to disclose any ma- terial non-public information to the Lender at any time. If the Borrower inadvertently discloses any material non-public information to the Lender, then the Borrower shall promptly publicly disclose that information by filing a Form 8-K with the SEC and by any other means necessary to make that information known to the public.

 

21 Notices . Any notice required or permitted hereunder (including Conversion Notices) must be in writing and either personally served, sent by facsimile or email transmission, or sent by overnight courier. Notices shall be deemed effectively delivered at the time of transmission if by facsimile or email, and if by overnight courier the business day after such notice is deposited with the courier service for delivery.

CONVERTIBLE PROMISSORY NOTE

  $500,000

 

FOR VALUE RECEIVED, HyperSolar, Inc. , a Nevada corporation, (the “Borrower”) with approximately 465,898,572 shares of common stock issued and outstanding, promises to pay to Bountiful Capital, LLC , a Nevada limited liability company , or its assignees (the “Lender”) the Principal Sum along with the Interest and any other fees according to the terms herein (this “Note”). This Note shall become effective on April 9, 2015 (the “Effective Date”).

  

The Principal Sum is  Five Hundred Thousand Dollars  ( $500,000 ) plus accrued and unpaid interest. The total Consideration is  Five Hundred Thousand Dollars  ( $500,000 ) payable by wire. The Lender shall pay  Fifty Thousand Dollars  ( $50,000)   of the Consideration upon execution of this Note (the “Initial Consideration”). The Lender may pay additional Consideration to the Borrower in such amounts as the Lender may choose in its sole discretion (the “Additional Consideration”). The Principal Sum due to the Lender and as referenced hereinafter, shall be the Initial Consideration plus any Additional Consideration actually paid by the Lender such that the Borrower is only required to repay the amount funded and the Borrower is not required to repay any unfunded portion of this Note, nor shall any interest or other rights or remedies granted herein extend to any unfunded portion of this Note. 

 

1. Maturity Date . The Maturity Date is nine ( 9 ) months from the Effective Date of each payment of Consideration (the “Maturity Date”) and is the date upon which the Principal Sum of this Note and unpaid interest and fees (the “Note Amount”) shall be due and payable.

 

2. Interest . This Note shall bear interest at the rate of Ten Percent ( 10% ) per year.

 

3. Conversion . The Lender has the right, at any time after the Effective Date, at its election, to convert all or part of the Note Amount into shares of fully paid and non-assessable shares of common stock of the Borrower (the “Common Stock”). The conversion price (the “Conversion Price”) shall be the lesser of (a) $0.01 per share of Common Stock or (b) Fifty Percent ( 50% ) of the lowest trade price of Common Stock recorded on any trade day after the Effective Date, or (c) the lowest effective price per share granted to any person or entity, including the Lender but excluding officers and directors of the Borrower, after the Effective Date to acquire Common Stock, or adjust, whether by operation of purchase price adjustment, settlement agreements, exchange agreements, reset provision, floating conversion or otherwise, any outstanding warrant, option or other right to acquire Common Stock or outstanding Common Stock equivalents (the “Conversion Price”). The conversion formula shall be as follows: Number of shares receivable upon conversion equals the dollar conversion amount divided by the Conversion Price. A conversion notice (the “Conversion Notice”) may be delivered to Borrower by method of Lender’s choice (including but not limited to email, facsimile, mail, overnight courier, or personal delivery), and all conversions shall be cashless and not require further payment from the Lender. If no objection is delivered from the Borrower to the Lender, with respect to any variable or calculation reflected in the Conversion Notice within 24 hours of delivery of the Conversion Notice, the Borrower shall have been thereafter deemed to have irrevocably confirmed and irrevocably ratified such notice of conversion and waived any objection thereto. The Borrower shall deliver the shares of Common Stock from any conversion to the Lender (in any name directed by the Lender) within three (3) business days of Conversion Notice delivery. If the Borrower is participating in the Depository Trust Company (“DTC”) Fast Automated Securities Transfer (“FAST”) program, then upon request of the Lender and provided that the shares to be issued are eligible for transfer under Rule 144 of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”), or are effectively registered under the Securities Act, the Borrower shall cause its transfer agent to electronically issue the Common Stock issuable upon conversion to the Lender through the DTC Direct Registration System (“DRS”). If the Borrower is not participating in the DTC FAST program, then after receiving the Initial Consideration, the Borrower agrees to begin a good faith effort to apply and cause the approval for participation in the DTC FAST program. The Conversion Price shall be subject to equitable adjustments for stock splits, stock dividends or rights offerings by the Borrower relating to the Borrower’s securities or the securities of any subsidiary of the Borrower, combinations, recapitalization, reclassifications, extraordinary distributions and similar events.

4. Conversion Delays . If Borrower fails to deliver shares in accordance with the timeframe stated in Section 3 , the Lender, at any time prior to selling all of those shares, may rescind any portion, in whole or in part, of that particular conversion attributable to the unsold shares and have the rescinded conversion amount returned to the Principal Sum with the rescinded conversion shares returned to the Borrower (under the Lender’s and the Borrower’s expectations that any returned conversion amounts shall tack back to the original date of this Note). In addition, for each conversion, in the event that shares are not delivered by the fourth business day (inclusive of the day of conversion), a penalty of $2,000 per day shall be assessed for each day after the third business day (inclusive of the day of the conversion) until share delivery is made; and such penalty shall be added to the Principal Sum of this Note (under the Lender’s and the Borrower’s expectations that any penalty amounts shall tack back to the original date of this Note consistent with applicable securities laws).

 

5. Limitation of Conversions . In no event shall the Lender be entitled to convert any portion of this Note in excess of that portion of this Note upon conversion of which the sum of (1) the number of shares of Common Stock beneficially owned by the Lender and its affiliates (other than shares of Common Stock which may be deemed beneficially owned through the ownership of the unconverted portion of this Note or the unexercised or unconverted portion of any other security of the Borrower subject to a limitation on conversion or exercise analogous to the limitations contained herein) and (2) the number of shares of Common Stock issuable upon the conversion of the portion of this Note with respect to which the determination of this proviso is being made, would result in beneficial ownership by the Lender and its affiliates of more than 4.99% of the outstanding shares of Common Stock. For purposes of the proviso of the immediately preceding sentence, beneficial ownership shall be determined in accordance with Section 13(d) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”), and Regulations 13D-G thereunder, except as otherwise provided in clause (1) of such proviso, provided, further, however, that the limitations on conversion may be waived by the Lender upon, at the election of the Lender, not less than 61 days prior notice to the Borrower, and the provisions of the conversion limitation shall continue to apply until such 61st day (or such later date, as determined by the Lender, as may be specified in such notice of waiver).

 

6. Payment . The Borrower may not prepay this Note prior to the Maturity Date. Within six (6) days prior to the Maturity Date, Borrower shall provide the Lender with a written notice to pay the Note Amount on the Maturity Date. Within three (3) days of receiving written notice, the Lender shall elect to either (a) accept payment of the Note Amount or (b) convert any part of the Note Amount into shares of Common Stock and the Borrower shall pay the remaining balance of the Note Amount by the Maturity Date or (c) modify the Maturity Date to be up to eighteen (18) months from the Effective Date.

7. Piggyback Registration Rights . The Borrower shall include on the next registration statement the Borrower files with the SEC (or on the subsequent registration statement if such registration statement is withdrawn) excluding S-8 registration statements for employee stock grant and option plans, all shares of Common Stock issuable upon conversion of this Note unless such shares of Common Stock are eligible for resale under Rule 144.

The Borrower acknowledges and agrees that upon delivery of a Conversion Notice by the Lender, the Lender immediately owns the shares of Common Stock described in the Conversion Notice and any sale of those shares issuable under such Conversion Notice would not be considered short sales.

 

13. Assignability . The Borrower may not assign this Note. This Note shall be binding upon the Borrower and its successors and shall inure to the benefit of the Lender and its successors and assigns and may be assigned by the Lender, in whole or in part, to anyone of its choosing without Borrower’s approval subject to applicable securities laws.

16. Attorney Fees .

17. Transfer Agent Instructions . In the event that an opinion of counsel, such as but not limited to a Rule 144 opinion, is needed for any matter related to this Note or the Common Stock the Lender has the right to have any such opinion provided by its counsel.

Within three (3) business days of receiving written notice, the Borrower shall instruct its transfer agent to rely upon opinions from the Lender’s counsel. A penalty of $2,000 per day shall be assessed for each day after the third business day (inclusive of the day of request) until the reliance instruction is delivered to the transfer agent.

EXHIBIT 10.3

 

CONVERTIBLE PROMISSORY NOTE

$500,000

 

FOR VALUE RECEIVED, HyperSolar, Inc. , a Nevada corporation, (the “Borrower”) with approximately 510,893,000 shares of common stock issued and outstanding, promises to pay to Bountiful Capital, LLC , a Nevada limited liability company , or its assignees (the “Lender”) the Principal Sum along with the Interest and any other fees according to the terms herein (this “Note”). This Note shall become effective on January 28, 2016 (the “Effective Date”).

 

The Principal Sum is  Five Hundred Thousand Dollars  ( $500,000 ) plus accrued and unpaid interest. The total Consideration is  Five Hundred Thousand Dollars  ( $500,000 ) payable by wire. The Lender shall pay  Ten Thousand Dollars  ( $10,000)   of the Consideration upon execution of this Note (the “Initial Consideration”). The Lender may pay additional Consideration to the Borrower in such amounts as the Lender may choose in its sole discretion (the “Additional Consideration”). The Principal Sum due to the Lender and as referenced hereinafter, shall be the Initial Consideration plus any Additional Consideration actually paid by the Lender such that the Borrower is only required to repay the amount funded and the Borrower is not required to repay any unfunded portion of this Note, nor shall any interest or other rights or remedies granted herein extend to any unfunded portion of this Note. 

 

1. Maturity Date . The Maturity Date is twelve ( 12 ) months from the Effective Date of each payment of Consideration (the “Maturity Date”) and is the date upon which the Principal Sum of this Note and unpaid interest and fees (the “Note Amount”) shall be due and payable. Within thirty (30) days prior to the Maturity Date, the Lender may provide the Borrower with a written notice to extend the Maturity Date and the Note Amount shall then be payable upon demand, but in no event later than sixty (60) months from the Effective Date (the “Extended Maturity Date”).

 

2. Interest . This Note shall bear interest at the rate of Ten Percent ( 10% ) per year.

 

3. Conversion . The Lender has the right, at any time after the Effective Date, at its election, to convert all or part of the Note Amount into shares of fully paid and non-assessable shares of common stock of the Borrower (the “Common Stock”). The conversion price (the “Conversion Price”) shall be the lesser of (a) $0.01 per share of Common Stock or (b) Fifty Percent ( 50% ) of the lowest trade price of Common Stock recorded on any trade day after the Effective Date, or (c) the lowest effective price per share granted to any person or entity, including the Lender but excluding officers and directors of the Borrower, after the Effective Date to acquire Common Stock, or adjust, whether by operation of purchase price adjustment, settlement agreements, exchange agreements, reset provision, floating conversion or otherwise, any outstanding warrant, option or other right to acquire Common Stock or outstanding Common Stock equivalents (the “Conversion Price”). The conversion formula shall be as follows: Number of shares receivable upon conversion equals the dollar conversion amount divided by the Conversion Price. A conversion notice (the “Conversion Notice”) may be delivered to Borrower by method of Lender’s choice (including but not limited to email, facsimile, mail, overnight courier, or personal delivery), and all conversions shall be cashless and not require further payment from the Lender. If no objection is delivered from the Borrower to the Lender, with respect to any variable or calculation reflected in the Conversion Notice within 24 hours of delivery of the Conversion Notice, the Borrower shall have been thereafter deemed to have irrevocably confirmed and irrevocably ratified such notice of conversion and waived any objection thereto. The Borrower shall deliver the shares of Common Stock from any conversion to the Lender (in any name directed by the Lender) within three (3) business days of Conversion Notice delivery. If the Borrower is participating in the Depository Trust Company (“DTC”) Fast Automated Securities Transfer (“FAST”) program, then upon request of the Lender and provided that the shares to be issued are eligible for transfer under Rule 144 of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”), or are effectively registered under the Securities Act, the Borrower shall cause its transfer agent to electronically issue the Common Stock issuable upon conversion to the Lender through the DTC Direct Registration System (“DRS”). If the Borrower is not participating in the DTC FAST program, then after receiving the Initial Consideration, the Borrower agrees to begin a good faith effort to apply and cause the approval for participation in the DTC FAST program. The Conversion Price shall be subject to equitable adjustments for stock splits, stock dividends or rights offerings by the Borrower relating to the Borrower’s securities or the securities of any subsidiary of the Borrower, combinations, recapitalization, reclassifications, extraordinary distributions and similar events.

4. Conversion Delays . If Borrower fails to deliver shares in accordance with the timeframe stated in Section 3 , the Lender, at any time prior to selling all of those shares, may rescind any portion, in whole or in part, of that particular conversion attributable to the unsold shares and have the rescinded conversion amount returned to the Principal Sum with the rescinded conversion shares returned to the Borrower (under the Lender’s and the Borrower’s expectations that any returned conversion amounts shall tack back to the original date of this Note). In addition, for each conversion, in the event that shares are not delivered by the fourth business day (inclusive of the day of conversion), a penalty of $1,500 per day shall be assessed for each day after the third business day (inclusive of the day of the conversion) until share delivery is made; and such penalty shall be added to the Principal Sum of this Note (under the Lender’s and the Borrower’s expectations that any penalty amounts shall tack back to the original date of this Note consistent with applicable securities laws).

 

5. Limitation of Conversions . In no event shall the Lender be entitled to convert any portion of this Note in excess of that portion of this Note upon conversion of which the sum of (1) the number of shares of Common Stock beneficially owned by the Lender and its affiliates (other than shares of Common Stock which may be deemed beneficially owned through the ownership of the unconverted portion of this Note or the unexercised or unconverted portion of any other security of the Borrower subject to a limitation on conversion or exercise analogous to the limitations contained herein) and (2) the number of shares of Common Stock issuable upon the conversion of the portion of this Note with respect to which the determination of this proviso is being made, would result in beneficial ownership by the Lender and its affiliates of more than 4.99% of the outstanding shares of Common Stock. For purposes of the proviso of the immediately preceding sentence, beneficial ownership shall be determined in accordance with Section 13(d) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”), and Regulations 13D-G thereunder, except as otherwise provided in clause (1) of such proviso, provided, further, however, that the limitations on conversion may be waived by the Lender upon, at the election of the Lender, not less than 61 days prior notice to the Borrower, and the provisions of the conversion limitation shall continue to apply until such 61st day (or such later date, as determined by the Lender, as may be specified in such notice of waiver).

 

6. Payment . The Borrower may not prepay this Note prior to the Maturity Date or the Extended Maturity Date, if extended by the Lender.

The Borrower shall include on the next registration statement the Borrower files with the SEC (or on the subsequent registration statement if such registration statement is withdrawn) excluding S-8 registration statements for employee stock grant and option plans, all shares of Common Stock issuable upon conversion of this Note unless such shares of Common Stock are eligible for resale under Rule 144. Failure to do so shall result in liquidated damages of Twenty Five Percent ( 25% ) of the outstanding principal balance of this Note being immediately due and payable to the Lender at its election in the form of cash payment or addition to the balance of this Note.

In the event of any default and at the request of the Lender, the Borrower shall file a registration statement with the SEC to register all shares of Common Stock issuable upon conversion of this Note that are otherwise eligible to have their restrictive transfer legend removed under Rule 144 of the Securities Act.

CONVERTIBLE PROMISSORY NOTE

$500,000

 

FOR VALUE RECEIVED, HyperSolar, Inc. , a Nevada corporation, (the “Borrower”) with approximately 618,746,385 shares of common stock issued and outstanding, promises to pay to Bountiful Capital, LLC , a Nevada limited liability company , or its assignees (the “Lender”) the Principal Sum along with the Interest and any other fees according to the terms herein (this “Note”). This Note shall become effective on February 3, 2017 (the “Effective Date”).

 

The Principal Sum is  Five Hundred Thousand Dollars  ( $500,000 ) plus accrued and unpaid interest. The total Consideration is  Five Hundred Thousand Dollars  ( $500,000 ) payable by wire. The Lender shall pay  Sixty Thousand Dollars  ( $60,000)   of the Consideration upon execution of this Note (the “Initial Consideration”). The Lender may pay additional Consideration to the Borrower in such amounts as the Lender may choose in its sole discretion (the “Additional Consideration”). The Principal Sum due to the Lender and as referenced hereinafter, shall be the Initial Consideration plus any Additional Consideration actually paid by the Lender such that the Borrower is only required to repay the amount funded and the Borrower is not required to repay any unfunded portion of this Note, nor shall any interest or other rights or remedies granted herein extend to any unfunded portion of this Note. 

 

1. Maturity Date . The Maturity Date is twelve ( 12 ) months from the Effective Date of each payment of Consideration (the “Maturity Date”) and is the date upon which the Principal Sum of this Note and unpaid interest and fees (the “Note Amount”) shall be due and payable. Within thirty (30) days prior to the Maturity Date, the Lender may provide the Borrower with a written notice to extend the Maturity Date and the Note Amount shall then be payable upon demand, but in no event later than sixty (60) months from the Effective Date (the “Extended Maturity Date”). The Lender shall provide the Borrower with ten (10) days written notice to make a demand for payment (the “Demand Payment Date”), and the Demand Payment Date shall be considered to be the Extended Maturity Date.

 

2. Interest . This Note shall bear interest at the rate of Ten Percent ( 10% ) per year.

 

3. Conversion . The Lender has the right, at any time after the Effective Date, at its election, to convert all or part of the Note Amount into shares of fully paid and non-assessable shares of common stock of the Borrower (the “Common Stock”). The conversion price (the “Conversion Price”) shall be the lesser of (a) $0.01 per share of Common Stock or (b) Fifty Percent ( 50% ) of the lowest trade price of Common Stock recorded on any trade day after the Effective Date, or (c) the lowest effective price per share granted to any person or entity, including the Lender but excluding officers and directors of the Borrower, after the Effective Date to acquire Common Stock, or adjust, whether by operation of purchase price adjustment, settlement agreements, exchange agreements, reset provision, floating conversion or otherwise, any outstanding warrant, option or other right to acquire Common Stock or outstanding Common Stock equivalents (the “Conversion Price”). The conversion formula shall be as follows: Number of shares receivable upon conversion equals the dollar conversion amount divided by the Conversion Price. A conversion notice (the “Conversion Notice”) may be delivered to Borrower by method of Lender’s choice (including but not limited to email, facsimile, mail, overnight courier, or personal delivery), and all conversions shall be cashless and not require further payment from the Lender. If no objection is delivered from the Borrower to the Lender, with respect to any variable or calculation reflected in the Conversion Notice within 24 hours of delivery of the Conversion Notice, the Borrower shall have been thereafter deemed to have irrevocably confirmed and irrevocably ratified such notice of conversion and waived any objection thereto. The Borrower shall deliver the shares of Common Stock from any conversion to the Lender (in any name directed by the Lender) within three (3) business days of Conversion Notice delivery. If the Borrower is participating in the Depository Trust Company (“DTC”) Fast Automated Securities Transfer (“FAST”) program, then upon request of the Lender and provided that the shares to be issued are eligible for transfer under Rule 144 of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”), or are effectively registered under the Securities Act, the Borrower shall cause its transfer agent to electronically issue the Common Stock issuable upon conversion to the Lender through the DTC Direct Registration System (“DRS”). If the Borrower is not participating in the DTC FAST program, then after receiving the Initial Consideration, the Borrower agrees to begin a good faith effort to apply and cause the approval for participation in the DTC FAST program. The Conversion Price shall be subject to equitable adjustments for stock splits, stock dividends or rights offerings by the Borrower relating to the Borrower’s securities or the securities of any subsidiary of the Borrower, combinations, recapitalization, reclassifications, extraordinary distributions and similar events.

4. Conversion Delays . If Borrower fails to deliver shares in accordance with the timeframe stated in Section 3 , the Lender, at any time prior to selling all of those shares, may rescind any portion, in whole or in part, of that particular conversion attributable to the unsold shares and have the rescinded conversion amount returned to the Principal Sum with the rescinded conversion shares returned to the Borrower (under the Lender’s and the Borrower’s expectations that any returned conversion amounts shall tack back to the original date of this Note). In addition, for each conversion, in the event that shares are not delivered by the fourth business day (inclusive of the day of conversion), a penalty of $1,500 per day shall be assessed for each day after the third business day (inclusive of the day of the conversion) until share delivery is made; and such penalty shall be added to the Principal Sum of this Note (under the Lender’s and the Borrower’s expectations that any penalty amounts shall tack back to the original date of this Note consistent with applicable securities laws). If the Borrower is unable to deliver shares under this provision, due to an insufficient number of authorized and unissued shares available, the Lender agrees not to force the Borrower to issue the shares or trigger an Event of Default, provided that the Borrower takes immediate steps necessary to obtain the appropriate approval from shareholders and/or the board of directors, where applicable, to increase the number of authorized shares to satisfy the Conversion Notice.

 

5. Limitation of Conversions . In no event shall the Lender be entitled to convert any portion of this Note in excess of that portion of this Note upon conversion of which the sum of (1) the number of shares of Common Stock beneficially owned by the Lender and its affiliates (other than shares of Common Stock which may be deemed beneficially owned through the ownership of the unconverted portion of this Note or the unexercised or unconverted portion of any other security of the Borrower subject to a limitation on conversion or exercise analogous to the limitations contained herein) and (2) the number of shares of Common Stock issuable upon the conversion of the portion of this Note with respect to which the determination of this proviso is being made, would result in beneficial ownership by the Lender and its affiliates of more than 4.99% of the outstanding shares of Common Stock. For purposes of the proviso of the immediately preceding sentence, beneficial ownership shall be determined in accordance with Section 13(d) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”), and Regulations 13D-G thereunder, except as otherwise provided in clause (1) of such proviso, provided, further, however, that the limitations on conversion may be waived by the Lender upon, at the election of the Lender, not less than 61 days prior notice to the Borrower, and the provisions of the conversion limitation shall continue to apply until such 61st day (or such later date, as determined by the Lender, as may be specified in such notice of waiver).

6. Payment . The Borrower may not prepay this Note prior to the Maturity Date or the Extended Maturity Date, if extended by the Lender. Within six (6) days prior to the Maturity Date or Extended Maturity Date, the Borrower shall provide the Lender with a written notice to pay the Note Amount on the Maturity Date or Extended Maturity Date. Within three (3) days of receiving written notice, the Lender shall elect to either (a) accept payment of the Note Amount or (b) convert any part of the Note Amount into shares of Common Stock. If the Lender elects to convert part of the Note Amount into shares of Common Stock, then the Borrower shall pay the remaining balance of the Note Amount by the Maturity Date or Extended Maturity Date.

 

7. Piggyback Registration Rights . The Borrower shall include on the next registration statement the Borrower files with the SEC (or on the subsequent registration statement if such registration statement is withdrawn) excluding S-8 registration statements for employee stock grant and option plans, all shares of Common Stock issuable upon conversion of this Note unless such shares of Common Stock are eligible for resale under Rule 144. Failure to do so shall result in liquidated damages of Twenty Five Percent ( 25% ) of the outstanding principal balance of this Note being immediately due and payable to the Lender at its election in the form of cash payment or addition to the balance of this Note.

 

8. Lender’s Representations . The Lender hereby represents and warrants to the Borrower that (i) it is an “accredited investor” as such term is defined in Rule 501(a) of Regulation D promulgated under the Securities Act, (ii) it understands that this Note and the shares of Common Stock underlying this Note (collectively, the “Securities”) have not been registered under the Securities Act by reason of a claimed exemption under the provisions of the Securities Act that depends, in part, upon the Lender’s investment intention; in this connection, the Lender hereby represents that it is purchasing the Securities for the Lender’s own account for investment and not with a view toward the resale or distribution to others; provided, that Lender may syndicate participations in the Securities among a limited number of participants who all meet the suitability standards of an “accredited investor” as defined in Rule 501(a) of Regulation D of the Securities Act and will share among themselves and the Lender an economic interest in the Securities on a pari passu, pass through basis with investment intent, such that the availability of the private placement exemption for the issuance of the Note under Rule 506 of Regulation D of the Securities Act is preserved, (iii) the Lender, if an entity, further represents that it was not formed for the purpose of purchasing the Securities, (iv) the Lender acknowledges that the issuance of this Note has not been reviewed by the United States Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) nor any state regulatory authority since the issuance of this Note is intended to be exempt from the registration requirements of Section 4(a)(2) of the Securities Act and Rule 506 of Regulation D, and (v) the Lender acknowledges receipt and careful review of this Note, the Borrower’s filings with the SEC (including without limitation, any risk factors included in the Borrower’s most recent Annual Report on Form 10-K), and any documents which may have been made available upon request as reflected therein, and hereby represents that it has been furnished by the Borrower with all information regarding the Borrower, the terms and conditions of the purchase and any additional information that the Lender has requested or desired to know, and has been afforded the opportunity to ask questions of and receive answers from duly authorized officers or other representatives of the Borrower concerning the Borrower and the terms and conditions of the purchase.

9. Borrower’s Representations . The Borrower hereby represents and warrants to the Lender that (i) the Borrower is duly organized, validly existing and in good standing under the laws of the jurisdiction of its organization with full power and authority to own, lease, license and use its properties and assets and to carry out the business in which it proposes to engage, and (ii) the Borrower has the requisite corporate power and authority to execute, deliver and perform its obligations under this Note and to issue and sell this Note, and (iii) all necessary proceedings of the Borrower have been duly taken to authorize the execution, delivery, and performance of this Note, and when this Note is executed and delivered by the Borrower, it will constitute the legal, valid and binding obligation of the Borrower enforceable against the Borrower in accordance with their terms, except as such enforceability may be limited by general principles of equity or to applicable bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization, moratorium, liquidation and other similar laws relating to, or affecting generally, the enforcement of applicable creditors' rights and remedies.

 

10. Default . The following are events of default under this Note: (i) the Borrower shall fail to pay any principal under this Note when due and payable (or payable by conversion) thereunder; or (ii) the Borrower shall fail to pay any interest or any other amount under this Note when due and payable (or payable by conversion) thereunder; or (iii) a receiver, trustee or other similar official shall be appointed over the Borrower or a material part of its assets and such appointment shall remain uncontested for twenty (20) days or shall not be dismissed or discharged within sixty (60) days; or (iv) the Borrower shall become insolvent or generally fails to pay, or admits in writing its inability to pay, its debts as they become due, subject to applicable grace periods, if any; or (v) the Borrower shall make a general assignment for the benefit of creditors; or (vi) the Borrower shall file a petition for relief under any bankruptcy, insolvency or similar law (domestic or foreign); or (vii) an involuntary proceeding shall be commenced or filed against the Borrower; or (viii) the Borrower shall lose its status as “DTC Eligible” or the Borrower’s shareholders shall lose the ability to deposit (either electronically or by physical certificates, or otherwise) shares into the DTC System; or (ix) the Borrower shall become delinquent in its filing requirements as a fully-reporting issuer registered with the SEC; or (x) the Borrower shall commit a material breach of any of its covenants, representations or warranties in this Note.

 

11. Remedies . In the event of any default, the funded portion of the Note Amount shall become immediately due and payable at the Mandatory Default Amount. The Mandatory Default Amount shall be 150% of the funded portion of the Note Amount. Commencing five (5) days after the occurrence of any event of default that results in the eventual acceleration of this Note, the interest rate on the Mandatory Default Amount shall accrue at a default interest rate equal to the lesser of ten percent (10%) per annum or the maximum rate permitted under applicable law. In connection with such acceleration described herein, the Lender need not provide, and the Borrower hereby waives, any presentment, demand, protest or other notice of any kind, and the Lender may immediately and without expiration of any grace period enforce any and all of its rights and remedies hereunder and all other remedies available to it under applicable law. While the Mandatory Default Amount is outstanding and default interest is accruing, the Lender shall have all rights as a holder of this Note until such time as the Lender receives full payment pursuant to this paragraph, or has converted all the remaining Mandatory Default Amount and any other outstanding fees and interest into Common Stock under the terms of this Note. In the event of any default and at the request of the Lender, the Borrower shall file a registration statement with the SEC to register all shares of Common Stock issuable upon conversion of this Note that are otherwise eligible to have their restrictive transfer legend removed under Rule 144 of the Securities Act. Nothing herein shall limit Lender’s right to pursue any other remedies available to it at law or in equity including, without limitation, a decree of specific performance and/or injunctive relief with respect to the Borrower’s failure to timely deliver certificates representing shares of Common Stock upon conversion of this Note as required pursuant to the terms hereof. The Borrower may only pay the full balance of the Mandatory Default Amount, and may not make partial payments unless agreed upon by the Lender. If the Borrower desires to pay the Mandatory Default Amount, then the Borrower shall provide the Lender with six (6) days prior written notice of payment. Within three (3) days of receiving written notice, the Lender shall elect to either (a) accept payment, or (b) convert any part of the payment into shares of Common Stock. If the Lender elects to convert part of the payment into shares of Common Stock, then the Borrower shall pay the remaining balance of the Mandatory Default Amount.

The Borrower acknowledges and agrees that upon delivery of a Conversion Notice by the Lender, the Lender immediately owns the shares of Common Stock described in the Conversion Notice and any sale of those shares issuable under such Conversion Notice would not be considered short sales.

 

13. Assignability . The Borrower may not assign this Note. This Note shall be binding upon the Borrower and its successors and shall inure to the benefit of the Lender and its successors and assigns and may be assigned by the Lender, in whole or in part, to anyone of its choosing without Borrower’s approval subject to applicable securities laws. Lender covenants not to engage in any unregistered public distribution of the Note when making any assignments.

 

14. Governing Law . This Note shall be governed by, and construed and enforced in accordance with, the laws of the State of Nevada , without regard to the conflict of laws principles thereof.

16. Attorney Fees . In the event any attorney is employed by either party to this Note with regard to any legal or equitable action, arbitration or other proceeding brought by such party for the enforcement of this Note or because of an alleged dispute, breach, default or misrepresentation in connection with any of the provisions of this Note, the prevailing party in such proceeding shall be entitled to recover from the other party reasonable attorneys' fees and other costs and expenses incurred, including but not limited to post judgment costs, in addition to any other relief to which the prevailing party may be entitled.

 

17. Transfer Agent Instructions . In the event that an opinion of counsel, such as but not limited to a Rule 144 opinion, is needed for any matter related to this Note or the Common Stock the Lender has the right to have any such opinion provided by its counsel. If the Lender chooses to have its counsel provide such opinion, then the Lender shall provide the Borrower with written notice. Within three (3) business days of receiving written notice, the Borrower shall instruct its transfer agent to rely upon opinions from the Lender’s counsel. A penalty of $1,500 per day shall be assessed for each day after the third business day (inclusive of the day of request) until the reliance instruction is delivered to the transfer agent. If the Lender requests that the Borrower’s counsel issue an opinion, then the Borrower shall cause the issuance of the requested opinion within three (3) business days. A penalty of $1,500 per day shall be assessed for each day after the third business day (inclusive of the day of request) until the requested opinion is delivered. The Lender and the Borrower agree that all penalty amounts shall be added to the Principal Sum of this Note and shall tack back to the Effective Date of this Note, with respect to the holding period under Rule 144, so long as such treatment is not inconsistent with Rule 144’s applicable tacking provisions. The Borrower warrants that it will not direct its transfer agent not to transfer or delay, impair, and/or hinder its transfer agent in transferring (or issuing)(electronically or in certificated form) any certificate for the Securities to be issued to the Lender and it will not fail to remove (or direct its transfer agent not to remove or impair, delay, and/or hinder its transfer agent from removing) any restrictive legend (or to withdraw any stop transfer instructions in respect thereof) on any certificate for the Securities when required by this Note. The Borrower acknowledges that a breach by it of its obligations hereunder will cause irreparable harm to the Lender by vitiating the intent and purpose of the transactions contemplated hereby. Accordingly, the Borrower acknowledges that the remedy at law for a breach of its obligations under this Note may be inadequate and agrees, in the event of a breach or threatened breach by the Borrower of these provisions, that the Lender shall be entitled, in addition to all other available remedies, to an injunction restraining any breach and requiring immediate transfer, without the necessity of showing economic loss and without any bond or other security being required.

19. Disclosure of Material Non-Public Information . The Borrower agrees not to disclose any material non-public information to the Lender after the Effective Date. If the Borrower inadvertently discloses any material non-public information to the Lender, then the Borrower shall promptly publicly disclose that information by filing a Form 8-K with the SEC and by any other means necessary to make that information known to the public.

 

20. Public Disclosure . The Lender and the Borrower agree not to issue any public statement with respect to the Lender’s investment or proposed investment in the Borrower or the terms of any agreement or covenant without the other party’s prior written consent, except such disclosures as may be required under applicable law or under any applicable order, rule or regulation. The Borrower agrees to reference Lender only as “an accredited investor” and attach only a form copy of this Note in any of the Borrower’s filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission or any other public filings, except such full disclosures as may be required under applicable law or under any applicable order, rule or regulation.

 

21. Notices . Any notice required or permitted hereunder (including Conversion Notices) must be in writing and either personally served, sent by facsimile or email transmission, or sent by overnight courier. Notices shall be deemed effectively delivered at the time of transmission if by facsimile or email, and if by overnight courier the business day after such notice is deposited with the courier service for delivery.

FOR VALUE RECEIVED, HyperSolar, Inc. , a Nevada corporation, (the “Borrower”) with approximately 699,483,259 shares of common stock issued and outstanding, promises to pay to Bountiful Capital, LLC , a Nevada limited liability company , or its assignees (the “Lender”) the Principal Sum along with the Interest and any other fees according to the terms herein (this “Note”). This Note shall become effective on November 10, 2017 (the “Effective Date”).

 

The Principal Sum is  Five Hundred Thousand Dollars  ( $500,000 ) plus accrued and unpaid interest. The total Consideration is  Five Hundred Thousand Dollars  ( $500,000 ) payable by wire. The Lender shall pay  Forty-Five Thousand Dollars  ( $45,000)   of the Consideration upon execution of this Note (the “Initial Consideration”). The Lender may pay additional Consideration to the Borrower in such amounts as the Lender may choose in its sole discretion (the “Additional Consideration”). The Principal Sum due to the Lender, and as referenced hereinafter, shall be the Initial Consideration plus any Additional Consideration actually paid by the Lender such that the Borrower is only required to repay the amount funded and the Borrower is not required to repay any unfunded portion of this Note, nor shall any interest or other rights or remedies granted herein extend to any unfunded portion of this Note. 

 

1. Maturity Date . The Maturity Date is twelve ( 12 ) months from the Effective Date (the “Maturity Date”) and is the date upon which the Principal Sum of this Note and unpaid interest and fees (the “Note Amount”) shall be due and payable. Within thirty (30) days prior to the Maturity Date, the Lender may provide the Borrower with a written notice to extend the Maturity Date and the Note Amount shall then be payable upon demand, but in no event later than sixty (60) months from the Effective Date (the ”Extended Maturity Date”). The Lender shall provide the Borrower with ten (10) days written notice to make a demand for payment (the “Demand Payment Date”), and the Demand Payment Date shall be considered to be the Extended Maturity Date.

 

2. Interest . This Note shall bear interest at the rate of Ten Percent ( 10% ) per year.

 

3. Conversion . The Lender has the right, at any time after the Effective Date, at its election, to convert all or part of the Note Amount into shares of fully paid and non-assessable shares of common stock of the Borrower (the “Common Stock”). The conversion price (the “Conversion Price”) shall be the lesser of (a) $0.01 per share of Common Stock or (b) Fifty Percent ( 50% ) of the lowest trade price of Common Stock recorded on any trade day after the Effective Date, or (c) the lowest effective price per share granted to any person or entity, including the Lender but excluding officers and directors of the Borrower, after the Effective Date to acquire Common Stock, or adjust, whether by operation of purchase price adjustment, settlement agreements, exchange agreements, reset provision, floating conversion or otherwise, any outstanding warrant, option or other right to acquire Common Stock or outstanding Common Stock equivalents (the “Conversion Price”). The conversion formula shall be as follows: Number of shares receivable upon conversion equals the dollar conversion amount divided by the Conversion Price. A conversion notice (the “Conversion Notice”) may be delivered to Borrower by method of Lender’s choice (including but not limited to email, facsimile, mail, overnight courier, or personal delivery), and all conversions shall be cashless and not require further payment from the Lender. If no objection is delivered from the Borrower to the Lender, with respect to any variable or calculation reflected in the Conversion Notice within 24 hours of delivery of the Conversion Notice, the Borrower shall have been thereafter deemed to have irrevocably confirmed and irrevocably ratified such notice of conversion and waived any objection thereto. The Borrower shall deliver the shares of Common Stock from any conversion to the Lender (in any name directed by the Lender) within three (3) business days of Conversion Notice delivery. If the Borrower is participating in the Depository Trust Company (“DTC”) Fast Automated Securities Transfer (“FAST”) program, then upon request of the Lender and provided that the shares to be issued are eligible for transfer under Rule 144 of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”), or are effectively registered under the Securities Act, the Borrower shall cause its transfer agent to electronically issue the Common Stock issuable upon conversion to the Lender through the DTC Direct Registration System (“DRS”). If the Borrower is not participating in the DTC FAST program, then after receiving the Initial Consideration, the Borrower agrees to begin a good faith effort to apply and cause the approval for participation in the DTC FAST program. The Conversion Price shall be subject to equitable adjustments for stock splits, stock dividends or rights offerings by the Borrower relating to the Borrower’s securities or the securities of any subsidiary of the Borrower, combinations, recapitalization, reclassifications, extraordinary distributions and similar events.

4. Conversion Delays . If Borrower fails to deliver shares in accordance with the timeframe stated in Section 3 , the Lender, at any time prior to selling all of those shares, may rescind any portion, in whole or in part, of that particular conversion attributable to the unsold shares and have the rescinded conversion amount returned to the Principal Sum with the rescinded conversion shares returned to the Borrower (under the Lender’s and the Borrower’s expectations that any returned conversion amounts shall tack back to the original date of this Note). In addition, for each conversion, in the event that shares are not delivered by the fourth business day (inclusive of the day of conversion), a penalty of $1,500 per day shall be assessed for each day after the third business day (inclusive of the day of the conversion) until share delivery is made; and such penalty shall be added to the Principal Sum of this Note (under the Lender’s and the Borrower’s expectations that any penalty amounts shall tack back to the original date of this Note consistent with applicable securities laws). If the Borrower is unable to deliver shares under this provision, due to an insufficient number of authorized and unissued shares available, the Lender agrees not to force the Borrower to issue the shares or trigger an Event of Default, provided that the Borrower takes immediate steps necessary to obtain the appropriate approval from shareholders and/or the board of directors, where applicable, to increase the number of authorized shares to satisfy the Conversion Notice.

 

5. Limitation of Conversions . In no event shall the Lender be entitled to convert any portion of this Note in excess of that portion of this Note upon conversion of which the sum of (1) the number of shares of Common Stock beneficially owned by the Lender and its affiliates (other than shares of Common Stock which may be deemed beneficially owned through the ownership of the unconverted portion of this Note or the unexercised or unconverted portion of any other security of the Borrower subject to a limitation on conversion or exercise analogous to the limitations contained herein) and (2) the number of shares of Common Stock issuable upon the conversion of the portion of this Note with respect to which the determination of this proviso is being made, would result in beneficial ownership by the Lender and its affiliates of more than 4.99% of the outstanding shares of Common Stock. For purposes of the proviso of the immediately preceding sentence, beneficial ownership shall be determined in accordance with Section 13(d) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”), and Regulations 13D-G thereunder, except as otherwise provided in clause (1) of such proviso, provided, further, however, that the limitations on conversion may be waived by the Lender upon, at the election of the Lender, not less than 61 days prior notice to the Borrower, and the provisions of the conversion limitation shall continue to apply until such 61st day (or such later date, as determined by the Lender, as may be specified in such notice of waiver).

Within three (3) days of receiving written notice, the Lender shall elect to either (a) accept payment of the Note Amount or (b) convert any part of the Note Amount into shares of Common Stock. If the Lender elects to convert part of the Note Amount into shares of Common Stock, then the Borrower shall pay the remaining balance of the Note Amount by the Maturity Date or Extended Maturity Date.

9. Borrower’s Representations . The Borrower hereby represents and warrants to the Lender that (i) the Borrower is duly organized, validly existing and in good standing under the laws of the jurisdiction of its organization with full power and authority to own, lease, license and use its properties and assets and to carry out the business in which it proposes to engage, and (ii) the Borrower has the requisite corporate power and authority to execute, deliver and perform its obligations under this Note and to issue and sell this Note, and (iii) all necessary proceedings of the Borrower have been duly taken to authorize the execution, delivery, and performance of this Note, and when this Note is executed and delivered by the Borrower, it will constitute the legal, valid and binding obligation of the Borrower enforceable against the Borrower in accordance with their terms, except as such enforceability may be limited by general principles of equity or to applicable bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization, moratorium, liquidation and other similar laws relating to, or affecting generally, the enforcement of applicable creditors' rights and remedies.

 

10. Default . The following are events of default under this Note: (i) the Borrower shall fail to pay any principal under this Note when due and payable (or payable by conversion) thereunder; or (ii) the Borrower shall fail to pay any interest or any other amount under this Note when due and payable (or payable by conversion) thereunder; or (iii) a receiver, trustee or other similar official shall be appointed over the Borrower or a material part of its assets and such appointment shall remain uncontested for twenty (20) days or shall not be dismissed or discharged within sixty (60) days; or (iv) the Borrower shall become insolvent or generally fails to pay, or admits in writing its inability to pay, its debts as they become due, subject to applicable grace periods, if any; or (v) the Borrower shall make a general assignment for the benefit of creditors; or (vi) the Borrower shall file a petition for relief under any bankruptcy, insolvency or similar law (domestic or foreign); or (vii) an involuntary proceeding shall be commenced or filed against the Borrower; or (viii) the Borrower shall lose its status as “DTC Eligible” or the Borrower’s shareholders shall lose the ability to deposit (either electronically or by physical certificates, or otherwise) shares into the DTC System; or (ix) the Borrower shall become delinquent in its filing requirements as a fully-reporting issuer registered with the SEC; or (x) the Borrower shall commit a material breach of any of its covenants, representations or warranties in this Note.

 

11. Remedies . In the event of any default, the funded portion of the Note Amount shall become immediately due and payable at the Mandatory Default Amount. The Mandatory Default Amount shall be 150% of the funded portion of the Note Amount. Commencing five (5) days after the occurrence of any event of default that results in the eventual acceleration of this Note, the interest rate on the Mandatory Default Amount shall accrue at a default interest rate equal to the lesser of ten percent (10%) per annum or the maximum rate permitted under applicable law. In connection with such acceleration described herein, the Lender need not provide, and the Borrower hereby waives, any presentment, demand, protest or other notice of any kind, and the Lender may immediately and without expiration of any grace period enforce any and all of its rights and remedies hereunder and all other remedies available to it under applicable law. While the Mandatory Default Amount is outstanding and default interest is accruing, the Lender shall have all rights as a holder of this Note until such time as the Lender receives full payment pursuant to this paragraph, or has converted all the remaining Mandatory Default Amount and any other outstanding fees and interest into Common Stock under the terms of this Note. In the event of any default and at the request of the Lender, the Borrower shall file a registration statement with the SEC to register all shares of Common Stock issuable upon conversion of this Note that are otherwise eligible to have their restrictive transfer legend removed under Rule 144 of the Securities Act. Nothing herein shall limit Lender’s right to pursue any other remedies available to it at law or in equity including, without limitation, a decree of specific performance and/or injunctive relief with respect to the Borrower’s failure to timely deliver certificates representing shares of Common Stock upon conversion of this Note as required pursuant to the terms hereof. The Borrower may only pay the full balance of the Mandatory Default Amount, and may not make partial payments unless agreed upon by the Lender. If the Borrower desires to pay the Mandatory Default Amount, then the Borrower shall provide the Lender with six (6) days prior written notice of payment. Within three (3) days of receiving written notice, the Lender shall elect to either (a) accept payment, or (b) convert any part of the payment into shares of Common Stock. If the Lender elects to convert part of the payment into shares of Common Stock, then the Borrower shall pay the remaining balance of the Mandatory Default Amount.

12. No Shorting . Lender agrees that so long as this Note from Borrower to Lender remains outstanding, the Lender shall not, Lender’s affiliates shall not, and Lender will not direct any third parties to, enter into or effect “short sales” of the Common Stock or hedging transaction which establishes a short position with respect to the Common Stock of the Borrower. The Borrower acknowledges and agrees that upon delivery of a Conversion Notice by the Lender, the Lender immediately owns the shares of Common Stock described in the Conversion Notice and any sale of those shares issuable under such Conversion Notice would not be considered short sales.

 

13. Assignability . The Borrower may not assign this Note. This Note shall be binding upon the Borrower and its successors and shall inure to the benefit of the Lender and its successors and assigns and may be assigned by the Lender, in whole or in part, to anyone of its choosing without Borrower’s approval subject to applicable securities laws. Lender covenants not to engage in any unregistered public distribution of the Note when making any assignments.

 

14. Governing Law . This Note shall be governed by, and construed and enforced in accordance with, the laws of the State of Nevada , without regard to the conflict of laws principles thereof.

16. Attorney Fees . In the event any attorney is employed by either party to this Note with regard to any legal or equitable action, arbitration or other proceeding brought by such party for the enforcement of this Note or because of an alleged dispute, breach, default or misrepresentation in connection with any of the provisions of this Note, the prevailing party in such proceeding shall be entitled to recover from the other party reasonable attorneys' fees and other costs and expenses incurred, including but not limited to post judgment costs, in addition to any other relief to which the prevailing party may be entitled.

 

17. Transfer Agent Instructions . In the event that an opinion of counsel, such as but not limited to a Rule 144 opinion, is needed for any matter related to this Note or the Common Stock the Lender has the right to have any such opinion provided by its counsel. If the Lender chooses to have its counsel provide such opinion, then the Lender shall provide the Borrower with written notice. Within three (3) business days of receiving written notice, the Borrower shall instruct its transfer agent to rely upon opinions from the Lender’s counsel. A penalty of $1,500 per day shall be assessed for each day after the third business day (inclusive of the day of request) until the reliance instruction is delivered to the transfer agent. If the Lender requests that the Borrower’s counsel issue an opinion, then the Borrower shall cause the issuance of the requested opinion within three (3) business days. A penalty of $1,500 per day shall be assessed for each day after the third business day (inclusive of the day of request) until the requested opinion is delivered. The Lender and the Borrower agree that all penalty amounts shall be added to the Principal Sum of this Note and shall tack back to the Effective Date of this Note, with respect to the holding period under Rule 144, so long as such treatment is not inconsistent with Rule 144’s applicable tacking provisions. The Borrower warrants that it will not direct its transfer agent not to transfer or delay, impair, and/or hinder its transfer agent in transferring (or issuing)(electronically or in certificated form) any certificate for the Securities to be issued to the Lender and it will not fail to remove (or direct its transfer agent not to remove or impair, delay, and/or hinder its transfer agent from removing) any restrictive legend (or to withdraw any stop transfer instructions in respect thereof) on any certificate for the Securities when required by this Note. The Borrower acknowledges that a breach by it of its obligations hereunder will cause irreparable harm to the Lender by vitiating the intent and purpose of the transactions contemplated hereby. Accordingly, the Borrower acknowledges that the remedy at law for a breach of its obligations under this Note may be inadequate and agrees, in the event of a breach or threatened breach by the Borrower of these provisions, that the Lender shall be entitled, in addition to all other available remedies, to an injunction restraining any breach and requiring immediate transfer, without the necessity of showing economic loss and without any bond or other security being required.

 

18. Reservation of Shares .  At all times during which this Note is convertible, the Borrower shall reserve from its authorized and unissued Common Stock a sufficient number of shares, free from preemptive rights, to provide for the issuance of Common Stock upon the full conversion of this Note.

 

19. Disclosure of Material Non-Public Information . The Borrower agrees not to disclose any material non-public information to the Lender after the Effective Date. If the Borrower inadvertently discloses any material non-public information to the Lender, then the Borrower shall promptly publicly disclose that information by filing a Form 8-K with the SEC and by any other means necessary to make that information known to the public.

 

20. Public Disclosure . The Lender and the Borrower agree not to issue any public statement with respect to the Lender’s investment or proposed investment in the Borrower or the terms of any agreement or covenant without the other party’s prior written consent, except such disclosures as may be required under applicable law or under any applicable order, rule or regulation. The Borrower agrees to reference Lender only as “an accredited investor” and attach only a form copy of this Note in any of the Borrower’s filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission or any other public filings, except such full disclosures as may be required under applicable law or under any applicable order, rule or regulation.

 

21. Notices . Any notice required or permitted hereunder (including Conversion Notices) must be in writing and either personally served, sent by facsimile or email transmission, or sent by overnight courier. Notices shall be deemed effectively delivered at the time of transmission if by facsimile or email, and if by overnight courier the business day after such notice is deposited with the courier service for delivery.
