The unpaid balance of this Note shall bear interest at a per annum rate equal to ten percent (10%) (“Interest Rate”). Except as otherwise provided herein, all payments in respect of this Note shall be made in cash, certified or cashier’s check, or by wire transfer to such account as the Payee shall direct, in immediately available funds and in lawful currency of the United States of America; except that, at its option, the Company may elect to convert the principal and interest due on this Note as of the Maturity Date into shares of its common stock, par value, $0.001 per share (“Common Stock”) in accordance with the terms set forth herein.

 

This Note is issued pursuant a certain Securities Purchase Agreement, of even date herewith, by and between Company and the Holder. This Note is one of a series of promissory notes of the Company (collectively, “Notes”), all of like tenor, except as to the name of the holder, issue date, principal amount and other non-material details.

2.  Repayment of Note Principal and Interest; Option to Convert.

 

(a)  On the Maturity Date, the Company shall pay to the Holder of this Note, or its registered assigns, all principal and interest then due hereunder. Thereafter, the Company will be forever released from all its obligations and liabilities under this Note. At any time following October 15, 2020, the Company may, in its sole discretion and without penalty, prepay all or any portion of the principal and interest due under this Note as of the date of such prepayment. The amount of such prepayment shall be payable, at the Holder’s option, in cash or in shares of Common Stock at a conversion price of $0.30 per share. The Company shall notify the Holder of its election to prepay the principal and interest due hereunder, and upon receipt of such notice, the Holder shall have five (5) business days in which to notify the Company of the Holder’s election to receive such prepayment in cash or in Common Stock. If the Company has not received such notice from the Holder within such five-day period, it may prepay this Note in cash or Common Stock, at its option.

 

 

 

 

(b)  Notwithstanding the foregoing, as of the Maturity Date, the Company may elect to convert any balance of principal and interest due hereunder into shares of Common Stock at a conversion price of $0.15 per share.

3.  Conversion by Holder Prior to Maturity Date. At any time from October 15, 2020 until the Maturity Date, the Holder shall have the right to convert any amount of principal and interest then due and payable hereunder into shares of Common Stock at a conversion price of $0.30 per share, subject to appropriate pro rata adjustment if, at any time when this Note is issued and outstanding and prior to conversion of all principal and interest hereunder, there shall be any recapitalization, stock split or other similar event.

 

4.  Surrender of Note. As promptly as practicable after payment of principal and interest due under this Note, Holder shall surrender this Note to the Company at the principal office of the Company or such other place as the Company may designate.

 

 

5.  Events of Default; Remedies. Each of the following events constitutes an “Event of Default” under this Note:

(b)  Holder is an “accredited investor” as such term is defined in Rule 501 under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”).

(d)  Holder understands that the Company is under no obligation to register the Notes or underlying shares under the Securities Act or to file for or comply with an exemption from registration, and recognizes that exemptions from registration, in any case, are limited and may not be available when Holder may want to sell, transfer, or otherwise dispose of the Notes or underlying shares.

 

(e)  Holder has such knowledge and experience in financial and business matters as to be capable of evaluating the merits and risks of an investment in the Notes, and Holder is able to incur a complete loss of Holder's investment and bear the risk of such a loss for an indefinite period of time.
