Agreements with Sandra Fowler

 

The disclosure under Item 5.02 below is incorporated by reference into this Item 1.01 to the extent that such Item 5.02 describes the entrance into the Fowler Employment Agreement and Fowler Indemnity Agreement, as such terms are defined below.

 

8% Fixed Convertible Promissory Note

 

On January 16, 2018, Indoor Harvest Corp. (the “Company”) entered into an 8% Fixed Convertible Promissory Note (the “Note”) to Tangiers Global, LLC, a Wyoming limited liability Company (the “Buyer”), in the aggregate principal amount of up to $550,000, with an initial principal amount of $82,500, which includes a $75,000 payment of the purchase price to the Company and a 10% original issue discount in the amount of $7,500.

 

The Note was issued with a total face value of $550,000. The Note bears interest at 8% on the unpaid principal amount. Any principal amount or interest which is not paid when due under the Note shall bear a default interest rate of 18% per annum or the highest rate permitted by law from the due date until the same is paid. The Note has a maturity date of July 16, 2018 and may be prepaid in whole or in part except as otherwise explicitly set forth in the Note.

 

The Note is convertible into shares of the Company’s common stock at a conversion price of $0.30 per share. However, if the Note is not paid back on or before the maturity date, the conversion price of the Note shall then be adjusted to be equal to the lower of: (i) $0.30 or (ii) 65% multiplied by the lowest trading price of the Company’s common stock in the fifteen (15) consecutive trading day period immediately preceding the trading day that the Company receives a notice of conversion of the Note (the “Default Conversion Price”). The Note is subject to certain events of default as set forth therein. Upon the occurrence of any such events of default, the Note shall become immediately due and payable and the conversion price shall be adjusted as set forth in the Note to the Default Conversion Price.

 

If the Company exercises its right to prepay the Note within 90 days of its issuance, the Company must make payment to the Buyer of an amount in cash equal to 115% of the principal amount of the Note; if such prepayment is made within 91-135 days of issuance of the Note then the payment amount due shall be equal to 120% of the principal amount; and if such prepayment is made within 136-180 days from the issuance of the Note, then the payment amount due shall be equal to 125% of the principal amount of the Note.

 

The Company agreed to use the proceeds under the Note as payment to Zoned Properties pursuant to an extension of the Parachute, CO Letter of Intent and to provide bridge capital for general working capital purposes and not for the repayment of any indebtedness owed to officers, directors or employees of the Company or their affiliates or in violation or contravention of any applicable law, rule or regulation.

Exhibit 10.2

 

INDEMNITY AGREEMENT

 

This Indemnity Agreement, effective as of January 15, 2018, is made by and between Indoor Harvest Corp, a Texas corporation with executive offices located at 5300 East Freeway, Suite A, Houston, Texas, 77020 (the “Company”), and Sandra Fowler and Chief Marketing Officer of the Company (the “Indemnitee”).

 

RECITALS

 

A. The Company is aware that competent and experienced persons are increasingly reluctant to serve as directors or officers of cannabis related corporations unless they are protected by comprehensive liability insurance or indemnification, due to increased exposure to litigation costs and risks resulting from their service to such cannabis related corporations, and due to the fact that the exposure frequently bears no reasonable relationship to the compensation of such directors and officers;

 

B. The statutes and judicial decisions regarding the duties of directors and officers are often difficult to apply, ambiguous, or conflicting, and therefore fail to provide such directors and officers with adequate, reliable knowledge of legal risks to which they are exposed or information regarding the proper course of action to take;

 

C. Plaintiffs often seek damages in such large amounts and the costs of litigation may be so substantial (whether or not the case is meritorious), that the defense and/or settlement of such litigation is often beyond the personal resources of officers and directors;

 

D. The Company believes that it is unfair for its directors and officers and the directors and officers of its subsidiaries to assume the risk of large judgments and other expense that may be incurred in cases in which the director or officer received no personal profit and in cases where the director or officer was not culpable;

 

E. The Company recognizes that the issues in controversy in litigation against a director or officer of a corporation such as the Company or a subsidiary of the Company are often related to the knowledge, motives and intent of such director or officer, that he or she is usually the only witness with knowledge of the essential facts and exculpating circumstances regarding such matters and that the long period of time which usually elapses before the trial or other disposition of which litigation often extends beyond the time that the director or officer can reasonably recall such matters; and may extend beyond the normal time for retirement or in the event of his or her death, his or her spouse, heirs, executors or administrators, may be faced with limited ability and undue hardship in maintaining an adequate defense, which may discourage such a director or officer from serving in that position;

 

F. Based upon their experience as business managers, the Board of Directors of the Company (the “Board”) has concluded that, to retain and attract talented and experienced individuals to serve as officers and directors of the Company and its subsidiaries and to encourage such individuals to take the business risks necessary for the success of the Company and its subsidiaries, it is necessary for the Company to contractually indemnify its officers and directors and the officers and directors of its subsidiaries, and to assume for itself maximum liability for expenses and damages in connection with claims against such officers and directors in connection with their service to the Company and its subsidiaries, and has further concluded that the failure to provide such contractual indemnification could result in great harm to the Company and its subsidiaries and the Company’s stockholders;

 

G. Section 8.101 of the Business Organizations Code of Texas, under which the Company is organized (“Section 8 of BOC”), empowers the Company to indemnify by agreement its officers, directors, employees and agents, and persons who serve, at the request of the Company, as directors, officers, employees or agents of other corporations or enterprises, and expressly provides that the indemnification provided by Section 8 of BOC is not exclusive;

 

H. The Company, after reasonable investigation prior to the date hereof, has determined that the liability insurance coverage available to the Company and its subsidiaries as of the date hereof is inadequate and/or unreasonably expensive. The Company believes, therefore, that the interest of the Company’s stockholders would best be served by a combination of such insurance as the Company may obtain, or request a subsidiary to obtain, pursuant to the Company’s obligations hereunder, and the indemnification by the Company of the directors and officers of the Company and its subsidiaries;

 

 

 

 

I. The Company desires and has requested the Indemnitee to serve or continue to serve as a director or officer of the Company and/or the subsidiaries of the Company free from undue concern for claims for damages arising out of or related to such services to the Company and/or a subsidiary of the Company; and

 

J. The Indemnitee is willing to serve, or to continue to serve, the Company and/or the subsidiaries of the Company, provided that he or she is furnished the indemnity provided for herein.

 

AGREEMENT

 

NOW, THEREFORE, the parties hereto, intending to be legally bound, hereby agree as follows:

(b)  Expenses.  For purposes of this Agreement, “expenses” includes all direct and indirect costs of any type or nature whatsoever (including, without limitation, all attorneys’ fees and related disbursements, and other out-of-pocket costs) actually and reasonably incurred by the Indemnitee in connection with either the investigation, defense or appeal of a proceeding or establishing or enforcing a right to indemnification under this Agreement.

 

(c)  Proceeding.  For the purposes of this Agreement, “proceeding” means any threatened, pending, or completed action, suit or other proceeding, whether civil, criminal, administrative, investigative or any other type whatsoever, by reason of the fact that the Indemnitee is or was an agent of the Company, or any of the Company’s Subsidiaries or affiliates, or by reason of anything done or not done by him or her in any such capacity..

(b)  Derivative Actions.  If the Indemnitee is a person who was or is a party or is threatened to be made a party to any proceeding by or in the right of the Company to procure a judgment in its favor by reason of the fact that he or she is or was an agent of the Company, or by reason of anything done or not done by him or her in any such capacity, against any amounts paid in settlement of any such proceeding and all expenses actually and reasonably incurred by him or her in connection with the investigation, defense, settlement, or appeal of such proceeding if he or she acted in good faith and in a manner he or she reasonably believed to be in or not opposed to the best interests of the Company; except that no indemnification under this subsection shall be made in respect of any claim, issue or matter as to which such person shall have been finally adjudged to be liable to the Company after the time for an appeal has expired by a court of competent jurisdiction due to willful misconduct of a culpable nature in the performance of his or her duty to the Company unless and only to the extent that the court in which such proceeding was brought shall determine upon application that, despite the adjudication of liability but in view of all the circumstances of the case, such person is fairly and reasonably entitled to indemnity for such amounts which the court shall deem proper; and

 

(c)  Actions Where Indemnitee is Deceased.  If the Indemnitee is a person who was or is a party or is threatened to be made a party to any proceeding by reason of the fact that he or she is or was an agent of the Company, or by reason of anything done or not done by him or her in any such capacity, against any and all expenses and liabilities of any type whatsoever (including, but not limited to, judgments, fines, ERISA excise taxes or penalties, and amounts paid in settlement) actually and reasonably incurred by him or her in connection with the investigation, defense, settlement or appeal of such proceeding if he or she acted in good faith and in a manner he or she reasonably believed to be in or not opposed to the best interests of the Company, and prior to, during the pendency or after completion of such proceeding the Indemnitee is deceased, except that in a proceeding by or in the right of the Company no indemnification shall be due under the provisions of this subsection in respect of any claim, issue or matter as to which such person shall have been finally adjudged to be liable to the Company after the time for an appeal has expired, by a court of competent jurisdiction due to willful misconduct of a culpable nature in the performance of his or her duty to the Company, unless and only to the extent that the court in which such proceeding was brought shall determine upon application that, despite the adjudication of liability but in view of all the circumstances of the case, such person is fairly and reasonably entitled to indemnity for such amounts which the court shall deem proper; and

 

 

 

 

(d)  Exception for Amounts Covered by Insurance.  Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Company shall not be obligated to indemnify the Indemnitee for expenses or liabilities of any type whatsoever (including, but not limited to, judgments, fees, ERISA excise taxes or penalties, and amounts paid in settlement) which have been paid directly to Indemnitee under D&O Insurance.

 

5.  Partial Indemnification.  If the Indemnitee is entitled under any provision of this Agreement to indemnification by the Company for some or a portion of any expenses or liabilities of any type whatsoever (including, but not limited to, judgments, fines, ERISA excise taxes or penalties, and amounts paid in settlement) incurred by him or her in the investigation, defense, settlement or appeal of a proceeding but not entitled, however, to indemnification for all of the total amount thereof, the Company shall nevertheless indemnify the Indemnitee for such total amount except as to the portion thereof to which the Indemnitee is not entitled.

Indemnitee hereby undertakes to repay such amounts advanced only if, and to the extent that, it shall ultimately be determined that the Indemnitee is not entitled to be indemnified by the Company as authorized hereby. The advances to be made hereunder shall be paid by the Company to the Indemnitee within twenty (20) days following delivery of a written request therefor by the Indemnitee to the Company.

 

7.  Notice and Other Indemnification Procedures.

 

(a) Promptly after receipt by the Indemnitee of notice of the commencement of or the threat of commencement of any proceeding, the Indemnitee shall, if the Indemnitee believes that indemnification with respect thereto may be sought from the Company under this Agreement, notify the Company of the commencement or threat of commencement thereof.

 

(b) If, at the time of the receipt of a notice of the commencement of a proceeding pursuant to Section 7(a) hereof, the Company has D&O Insurance in effect, the Company shall give prompt notice of the commencement of such proceeding to the insurers in accordance with the procedures set forth in the respective policies. The Company shall thereafter take all necessary or desirable action to cause such insurers to pay, on behalf of the Indemnitee, all amounts payable as a result of such proceeding in accordance with the terms of such policies.

 

8.  Determination of Right to Indemnification.

 

(a) To the extent the Indemnitee has been successful on the merits or otherwise in defense of any proceeding referred to in Section 4(a), 4(b) or 4(c) of this Agreement or in the defense of any claim, issue or matter described therein, the Company shall indemnify the Indemnitee against expenses actually and reasonably incurred by him or her in connection therewith.

 

(b) In the event that Section 8(a) is inapplicable, the Company shall also indemnify the Indemnitee unless, and only to the extent that, the Company shall prove by clear and convincing evidence to a forum listed in Section 8(c) below that the Indemnitee has not met the applicable standard of conduct required to entitle the Indemnitee to such indemnification.

 

(c) The Indemnitee shall be entitled to select the forum in which the validity of the Company’s claim under Section 8(b) hereof that the Indemnitee is not entitled to indemnification will be heard from among the following:

 

 

 

 

(1) A quorum of the Board consisting of directors who are not parties to the proceeding for which indemnification is being sought;

 

(2) The stockholders of the Company;

 

(3) Legal counsel selected by the Indemnitee and reasonably approved by the Board, which counsel shall make such determination in a written opinion;

 

(4) A panel of three arbitrators, one of whom is selected by the Company, another of whom is selected by the Indemnitee and the last of whom is selected by the first two arbitrators so selected.

 

(d) As soon as practicable, and in no event later than 30 days after written notice of the Indemnitee’s choice of forum pursuant to Section 8(c) above, the Company shall, at its own expense, submit to the selected forum in such manner as the Indemnitee or the Indemnitee’s counsel may reasonably request, its claim that the Indemnitee is not entitled to indemnification; and the Company shall act in the utmost good faith to assure the Indemnitee a complete opportunity to defend against such claim.

 

(e) Notwithstanding a determination by any forum listed in Section 8(c) hereof that the Indemnitee is not entitled to indemnification with respect to a specific proceeding, the Indemnitee shall have the right to apply to a Texas District Court, the court in which that proceeding is or was pending or any other court of competent jurisdiction, for the purpose of enforcing the Indemnitee’s right to indemnification pursuant to the Agreement.

 

(f) The Company shall indemnify the Indemnitee against all expenses incurred by the Indemnitee in connection with any hearing or proceeding under this Section 8 involving the Indemnitee and against all expenses incurred by the Indemnitee in connection with any other proceeding between the Company and the Indemnitee involving the interpretation or enforcement of the rights of the Indemnitee under this Agreement unless a court of competent jurisdiction finds that each of the material claims and/or defenses of the Indemnitee in any such proceeding was frivolous or not made in good faith.

Section 1.00 Conversion .

 

(a)        Conversion Right . Subject to the terms hereof and restrictions and limitations contained herein, the Holder shall have the right, at the Holder's sole option, at any time and from time to time to convert in whole or in part the outstanding and unpaid Principal Amount under this Note into shares of Common Stock as per the Conversion Price, but not to exceed the Restricted Ownership Percentage, as defined in Section 1.00(f). The date of any conversion notice (“ Conversion Notice ”) hereunder shall be referred to herein as the “Conversion Date” . The Conversion Price shall be equitably adjusted in the event of a forward split, stock dividend, or the like, but shall not be adjusted in the event of a reverse split, recombination, or the like.

 

(b)         Stock Certificates or DWAC . The Company will deliver to the Holder, or Holder’s authorized designee, no later than 2 Trading Days after the Conversion Date, a certificate or certificates (which certificate(s) shall be free of restrictive legends and trading restrictions if the shares of Common Stock underlying the portion of the Note being converted are eligible under a resale exemption pursuant to Rule 144(b)(1)(ii) and Rule 144(d)(1)(ii) of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended) representing the number of shares of Common Stock being acquired upon the conversion of this Note. In lieu of delivering physical certificates representing the shares of Common Stock issuable upon conversion of this Note, provided the Company's transfer agent is participating in DTC’s FAST program, the Company shall instead use commercially reasonable efforts to cause its transfer agent to electronically transmit such shares issuable upon conversion to the Holder (or its designee), by crediting the account of the Holder’s (or such designee’s) broker with DTC through its DWAC program (provided that the same time periods herein as for stock certificates shall apply).

 

(c)       Charges and Expenses . Issuance of Common Stock to Holder, or any of its assignees, upon the conversion of this Note shall be made without charge to the Holder for any issuance fee, transfer tax, legal opinion and related charges, postage/mailing charge or any other expense with respect to the issuance of such Common Stock. Company shall pay all Transfer Agent fees incurred from the issuance of the Common Stock to Holder, as well as any and all other fees and charges required by the Transfer Agent as a condition to effectuate such issuance. Any such fees or charges, as noted in this Section that are paid by the Holder (whether from the Company’s delays, outright refusal to pay, or otherwise), will be automatically added to the Principal Sum of the Note and tack back to the Effective Date for purposes of Rule 144.

 

3

 

 

(d)        Delivery Timeline . If the Company fails to deliver to the Holder such certificate or certificates (or shares through the DWAC program) pursuant to this Section (free of any restrictions on transfer or legends, if eligible) prior to 3 Trading Days after the Conversion Date, the Company shall pay to the Holder as liquidated damages an amount equal to $2,000 per day, until such certificate or certificates are delivered. The Company acknowledges that it would be extremely difficult or impracticable to determine the Holder’s actual damages and costs resulting from a failure to deliver the Common Stock and the inclusion herein of any such additional amounts are the agreed upon liquidated damages representing a reasonable estimate of those damages and costs. Such liquidated damages will be automatically added to the Principal Sum of the Note and tack back to the Effective Date for purposes of Rule 144.

 

(e)        Reservation of Underlying Securities . The Company covenants that it will at all times reserve and keep available for Holder, out of its authorized and unissued Common Stock solely for the purpose of issuance upon conversion of this Note, free from preemptive rights or any other actual contingent purchase rights of persons other than the Holder, five times the number of shares of Common Stock as shall be issuable (taking into account the adjustments under this Section 1.00, but without regard to any ownership limitations contained herein) upon the conversion of this Note (consisting of the Principal Amount) under the formula in Section 2.00(c) below to Common Stock (the “ Required Reserve ”). The Company covenants that all shares of Common Stock that shall be issuable will, upon issue, be duly authorized, validly issued, fully-paid, non-assessable and freely-tradable (if eligible). If the amount of shares on reserve in Holder’s name at the Company’s transfer agent for this Note shall drop below the Required Reserve, the Company will, within 2 Trading Days of notification from Holder, instruct the transfer agent to increase the number of shares so that the Required Reserve is met. In the event that the Company does not instruct the transfer agent to increase the number of shares so that the Required Reserve is met, the Holder will be allowed, if applicable, to provide this instruction as per the terms of the Irrevocable Transfer Agent Instructions attached to this Note. The Company agrees that the maintenance of the Required Reserve is a material term of this Note and any breach of this Section 1.00(e) will result in a default of the Note.

 

(f)        Conversion Limitation . The Holder will not submit a conversion to the Company that would result in the Holder beneficially owning more than 9.99% of the then total outstanding shares of the Company (“ Restricted Ownership Percentage ”).

 

(g)        Conversion Delays . If the Company fails to deliver shares in accordance with the timeframe stated in Section 1.00(b), the Holder, 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. The rescinded conversion amount will be returned to the Principal Sum with the rescinded conversion shares returned to the Company, under the expectation that any returned conversion amounts will tack back to the Effective Date.

 

(h)        Shorting and Hedging . Holder may not engage in any “shorting” or “hedging” transaction(s) in the Common Stock prior to conversion.

 

(i)         Conversion Right Unconditional . If the Holder shall provide a Conversion Notice as provided herein, the Company's obligations to deliver Common Stock shall be absolute and unconditional, irrespective of any claim of setoff, counterclaim, recoupment, or alleged breach by the Holder of any obligation to the Company.

If an Event of Default occurs the outstanding Principal Amount of this Note owing in respect thereof through the date of acceleration, shall become, at the Holder's election, immediately due and payable in cash at the “ Mandatory Default Amount ”. The Mandatory Default Amount means 150% of the outstanding Principal Amount of this Note, will be automatically added to the Principal Sum of the Note and tack back to the Effective Date for purposes of Rule 144. Commencing 5 days after the occurrence of any Event of Default that results in the eventual acceleration of this Note, this Note shall accrue additional interest, in addition to the Note’s “guaranteed” interest, at a rate equal to the lesser of 18% per annum or the maximum rate permitted under applicable law. In connection with such acceleration described herein, the Holder need not provide, and the Issuer hereby waives, any presentment, demand, protest or other notice of any kind, and the Holder 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. Such acceleration may be rescinded and annulled by the Holder at any time prior to payment hereunder and the Holder shall have all rights as a holder of the note until such time, if any, as the Holder receives full payment pursuant to this Section 2.00(b). No such rescission or annulment shall affect any subsequent event of default or impair any right consequent thereon. Nothing herein shall limit the Holder'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 Issuer's failure to timely deliver certificates representing shares of Common Stock upon conversion of the Note as required pursuant to the terms hereof.

 

5

 

 

(c)        Conversion Right . At any time and from time to time after a default occurs solely due to the fact the Note is not retired on or before the Maturity Date (“ Maturity Date ”), subject to the terms hereof and restrictions and limitations contained herein, the Holder shall have the right, at the Holder’s sole option, to convert in whole or in part the outstanding and unpaid Principal Amount under this Note into shares of Common Stock at the Maturity Default Conversion Price. The Maturity Default Conversion Price shall be equal to the lower of: (a) the Conversion Price or (b) 65% of the lowest trading price of the Company’s common stock during the 15 consecutive Trading Days prior to the date on which Holder elects to convert all or part of the Note. For the purpose of calculating the Maturity Default Conversion Price only, any time after 4:00 pm Eastern Time (the closing time of the Principal Market) shall be considered to be the beginning of the next Business Day. If the Company is placed on “chilled” status with the DTC, the discount shall be increased by 10%, i . e ., from 35% to 45%, until such chill is remedied. If the Company is not DWAC eligible through their Transfer Agent and DTC’s FAST system, the discount will be increased by 5%, i . e ., from 35% to 40%. In the case of both, the discount shall be a cumulative increase of 15%, i . e ., from 35% to 50%.

 

Section 3.00 Representations and Warranties of Holder .

 

Holder hereby represents and warrants to the Company that:

 

(a)          Holder is an “accredited investor,” as such term is defined in Regulation D of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “ 1933 Act ”), and will acquire this Note and the Underlying Shares (collectively, the “ Securities ”) for its own account and not with a view to a sale or distribution thereof as that term is used in Section 2(a)(11) of the 1933 Act, in a manner which would require registration under the 1933 Act or any state securities laws. Holder has such knowledge and experience in financial and business matters that such Holder is capable of evaluating the merits and risks of the Securities. Holder can bear the economic risk of the Securities, has knowledge and experience in financial business matters and is capable of bearing and managing the risk of investment in the Securities. Holder recognizes that the Securities have not been registered under the 1933 Act, nor under the securities laws of any state and, therefore, cannot be resold unless the resale of the Securities is registered under the 1933 Act or unless an exemption from registration is available. Holder has carefully considered and has, to the extent Holder believes such discussion necessary, discussed with its professional, legal, tax and financial advisors, the suitability of an investment in the Securities for its particular tax and financial situation and its advisers, if such advisors were deemed necessary, and has determined that the Securities are a suitable investment for it. Holder has not been offered the Securities by any form of general solicitation or advertising, including, but not limited to, advertisements, articles, notices or other communications published in any newspaper, magazine, or other similar media or television or radio broadcast or any seminar or meeting where, to Holders’ knowledge, those individuals that have attended have been invited by any such or similar means of general solicitation or advertising. Holder has had an opportunity to ask questions of and receive satisfactory answers from the Company, or any person or persons acting on behalf of the Company, concerning the terms and conditions of the Securities and the Company, and all such questions have been answered to the full satisfaction of Holder. The Company has not supplied Holder any information regarding the Securities or an investment in the Securities other than as contained in this Agreement, and Holder is relying on its own investigation and evaluation of the Company and the Securities and not on any other information.

 

6

 

 

(b)         The Holder is a limited liability company duly organized, validly existing and in good standing under the laws of the state of its incorporation and has all requisite corporate power and authority to carry on its business as now conducted. The Holder is duly qualified to transact business and is in good standing in each jurisdiction in which the failure to so qualify would have a material adverse effect on its business or properties.

 

(c)          All corporate action has been taken on the part of the Holder, its officers, directors and stockholders necessary for the authorization, execution and delivery of this Note. The Holder has taken all corporate action required to make all of the obligations of the Holder reflected in the provisions of this Note, valid and enforceable obligations.

 

(d)         Each certificate or instrument representing Securities will be endorsed with the following legend (or a substantially similar legend), unless or until registered under the 1933 Act or exempt from registration:

 

THE SECURITIES EVIDENCED BY THIS CERTIFICATE HAVE NOT BEEN REGISTERED UNDER THE SECURITIES ACT OF 1933, AS AMENDED, AND MAY NOT BE SOLD, TRANSFERRED, ASSIGNED OR HYPOTHECATED UNLESS THERE IS AN EFFECTIVE REGISTRATION STATEMENT UNDER SUCH ACT COVERING SUCH SECURITIES, THE TRANSFER IS MADE IN COMPLIANCE WITH RULE 144 PROMULGATED UNDER SUCH ACT OR THE COMPANY RECEIVES AN OPINION OF COUNSEL FOR THE HOLDER OF THESE SECURITIES WHICH IS REASONABLY SATISFACTORY TO THE COMPANY, STATING THAT SUCH SALE, TRANSFER, ASSIGNMENT OR HYPOTHECATION IS EXEMPT FROM THE REGISTRATION AND PROSPECTUS DELIVERY REQUIREMENTS OF SUCH ACT.

 

Section 4.00     General .

 

(a)        Payment of Expenses . The Company agrees to pay all reasonable charges and expenses, including attorneys' fees and expenses, which may be incurred by the Holder in successfully enforcing this Note and/or collecting any amount due under this Note.

 

(b)        Assignment, Etc. The Holder may assign or transfer this Note to any transferee at its sole discretion. This Note shall be binding upon the Company and its successors and shall inure to the benefit of the Holder and its successors and permitted assigns.

 

(c)        Amendments . This Note may not be modified or amended, or any of the provisions of this Note waived, except by written agreement of the Company and the Holder.

 

7

 

 

(d)        Funding Window . The Company agrees that it will not enter into a convertible debt financing transaction with any party other than the Holder for a period of 30 Trading Days following the Effective Date and each Additional Consideration Date, as relevant. The Company agrees that this is a material term of this Note and any breach of this Section 4.00(d) will result in a default of the Note.

 

(e)        Piggyback Registration Rights . The Company shall include on the next registration statement that the Company files with the SEC (or on the subsequent registration statement if such registration statement is withdrawn) all shares issuable upon conversion of this Note. Failure to do so will result in liquidated damages of 30% of the outstanding Principal Sum of this Note, but not less than $20,000, being immediately due and payable to the Holder at its election in the form of a cash payment or an addition to the Principal Sum of this Note.

 

(f)         Terms of Future Financings . So long as this Note is outstanding, upon any issuance by the Company or any of its subsidiaries of any convertible debt security (whether such debt begins with a convertible feature or such feature is added at a later date) 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 Holder in this Note, then the Company shall notify the Holder of such additional or more favorable term and such term, at the Holder's option, shall become a part of this Note and its supporting documentation. The types of terms contained in the other security that may be more favorable to the holder of such security include, but are not limited to, terms addressing conversion discounts, conversion look back periods, interest rates, original issue discount percentages and warrant coverage.

 

(g)        Governing Law; Jurisdiction .

 

(i)        Governing Law. This Note will be governed by, and construed and interpreted in accordance with, the laws of the Commonwealth of Puerto Rico without regard to any conflicts of laws or provisions thereof that would otherwise require the application of the law of any other jurisdiction.

 

(ii)      Jurisdiction and Venue . Any dispute, claim, suit, action or other legal proceeding arising out of or relating to this Note or the rights and obligations of each of the parties shall be brought only in the San Juan, Puerto Rico or in the federal courts of the United States of America located in San Juan, Puerto Rico.

 

(iii)     No Jury Trial . The Company hereto knowingly and voluntarily waives any and all rights it may have to a trial by jury with respect to any litigation based on, or arising out of, under, or in connection with, this Note.

 

(iv)      Delivery of Process by the Holder to the Company . In the event of an action or proceeding by the Holder against the Company, and only by the Holder against the Company, service of copies of summons and/or complaint and/or any other process that may be served in any such action or proceeding may be made by the Holder via U.S. Mail, overnight delivery service such as FedEx or UPS, email, fax, or process server, or by mailing or otherwise delivering a copy of such process to the Company at its last known attorney as set forth in its most recent SEC filing.

 

(v)       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 will 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.

 

8

 

 

(h)        No Bad Actor . No officer or director of the Company would be disqualified under Rule 506(d) of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, on the basis of being a “bad actor” as that term is established in the September 13, 2013 Small Entity Compliance Guide published by the SEC.

 

(i)         Usury . If it shall be found that any interest or other amount deemed interest due hereunder violates any applicable law governing usury, the applicable rate of interest due hereunder shall automatically be lowered to equal the maximum rate of interest permitted under applicable law. The Company covenants (to the extent that it may lawfully do so) that it will not seek to claim or take advantage of any law that would prohibit or forgive the Company from paying all or a portion of the principal, fees, liquidated damages or interest on this Note.

 

(j)         Securities Laws Disclosure; Publicity . The Company shall (a) by 9:30 a.m. Eastern Time on the Trading Day immediately following the Date of Execution, issue a press release disclosing the material terms of the transactions contemplated hereby, and (b) file a Current Report on Form 8-K, including a copy of this Note as an exhibit thereto, with the SEC within the time required by the 1934 Act. From and after the filing of such press release, the Company represents to the Holder that it shall have publicly disclosed all material, non-public information delivered to the Holder by the Company, or any of its officers, directors, employees, or agents in connection with the transactions contemplated by this Note. The Company and the Holder shall consult with each other in issuing any other press releases with respect to the transactions contemplated hereby, and neither the Company nor the Holder shall issue any such press release nor otherwise make any such public statement without the prior consent of the Company, with respect to any press release of the Holder, or without the prior consent of the Holder, with respect to any press release of the Company, none of which consents shall be unreasonably withheld, delayed, denied, or conditioned except if such disclosure is required by law, in which case the disclosing party shall promptly provide the other party with prior notice of such public statement or communication. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Company shall not publicly disclose the name of the Holder, or include the name of the Holder in any filing with the SEC or any regulatory agency or Principal Market, without the prior written consent of the Holder, except to the extent such disclosure is required by law or Principal Market regulations, in which case the Company shall provide the Holder with prior notice of such disclosure permitted hereunder.

 

The Company agrees that this is a material term of this Note and any breach of this Section 4.00(j) will result in a default of the Note.

 

9

 

 

(k)        Attempted Below-par Issuance . In the event that the Holder delivers a Conversion Notice to the Company and, if as of such date, (i) the Conversion Price would be less than par value of the Company’s Common Stock and (ii) within three business days of the delivery of the Conversion Notice, the Company shall not have reduced its par value such that all of the requested conversion transaction may then be accomplished, then the Company and the Holder shall utilize the following conversion protocol for Par Value Adjustment. The Holder shall transmit to the Company: (X) a “preliminary” Conversion Notice for the full number of shares of Common Stock that would be issued at the Conversion Price without regard to any below-par value conversion issues; followed by (Y) a “par value” Conversion Notice for the number of shares of Common Stock with the Conversion Price increased from the “preliminary” Conversion Price to a Conversion Price at par value; and, finally, (Z) a “liquidated damages” Conversion Notice for that number of shares of Common Stock that represents the difference between the “preliminary” Conversion Notice full number of shares and the “par value” Conversion Notice limited number of shares. The Conversion Price of such “liquidated damages Common Shares” would be the par value of the Common Stock. Accordingly, through this protocol, the Company would issue, in two transactions, an amount of shares of its Common Stock equivalent to the full number of shares of Common Stock that would have been issued in accordance with the “preliminary” Conversion Notice without regard to any below-par value conversion issues. In the event that the Holder is precluded from exercising any or all of its conversion rights hereunder as a result of a proposed “below par” conversion, the Company agrees that, in lieu of actual damages for such failure, liquidated damages may be assessed and recovered by the Holder without being required to present any evidence of the amount or character of actual damages sustained by reason thereof. The amount of such liquidated damages shall be an amount equivalent to the trading price utilized in the “preliminary” Conversion Notice multiplied by the number of shares calculated on the “liquidated damages” Conversion Notice. Such amount shall be assessed and become immediately due and payable to the Holder (at its election) in the form of a (i) cash payment, (ii) an addition to the Principal Sum of this Note, or (iii) the immediate issuance of that number of shares of Common Stock as calculated on the “liquidated damages” Conversion Notice. Such liquidated damages are intended to represent estimated actual damages and are not intended to be a penalty, but, by virtue of their genesis and subject to the election of the Holder (as set forth in the immediately preceding sentence), will be automatically added to the Principal Sum of the Note and tack back to the Effective Date for purposes of Rule 144, as the Company’s failure to maintain the par value of its Common Stock at an amount that would not result in a “below par” conversion failure is equivalent to a default as of the Issuance Date of the Note.

 

(l)         Right of First Refusal . From and after the date of this Note and at all times hereafter while the Note is outstanding, the Parties agree that, in the event that the Company receives any written or oral proposal (the “ Proposal ”) containing one or more offers to provide additional capital or equity or debt financing (the “ Financing Amount ”), the Company agrees that it shall provide a copy of all documents received relating to the Proposal together with a complete and accurate description of the Proposal to the Holder and all amendments, revisions, and supplements thereto (the “ Proposal Documents ”) no later than 3 business days from the receipt of the Proposal Documents. Following receipt of the Proposal Documents from the Company, the Holder shall have the right (the “ Right of First Refusal ”), but not the obligation, for a period of 5 business days thereafter (the “ Exercise Period ”), to invest, at similar or better terms to the Company, an amount equal to or greater than the Financing Amount, upon written notice to the Company that the Holder is exercising the Right of First Refusal provided hereby. In furtherance of the Right of First Refusal, the Company agrees that it will cooperate and assist the Holder in conducting a due diligence investigation of the Company and its corporate and financial affairs and promptly provide the Holder with information and documents that the Holder may reasonably request so as to allow the Holder to make an informed investment decision. However, the Company and the Holder agree that the Holder shall have no more than 5 business days from and after the expiration of the Exercise Period to exercise its Right of First Refusal hereunder. This Right of First Refusal shall extend to all purchases of debt held by, or assigned to or from, current stockholders, vendors, or creditors, all transactions under Sections 3(a)9 and/or 3(a)10 or the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, and all equity line-of-credit transactions.
