Some of our statements under “Business,” “Properties,” “Legal Proceedings,” “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations,” the Notes to Financial Statements and elsewhere in this report constitute “forward-looking statements” within the meaning of Section 27A of the Securities Act of 1933 (the “Securities Act”) and Section 21E of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (the “Exchange Act”). In some cases, forward-looking statements are identified by terminology such as “may,” “will,” “should,” “could,” “would,” “expects,” “plans,” “intends,” “anticipates,” “believes,” “estimates,” “approximates,” “predicts,” “potential” or “continue” or the negative of such terms and other comparable terminology.

 

Although we believe that the expectations reflected in these forward-looking statements are reasonable, it cannot guarantee future results, levels of activity, performance or achievements. Moreover, neither we nor anyone else assumes responsibility for the accuracy and completeness of such statements and is under no duty to update any of the forward-looking statements after the date of this report.

Cipherloc Marketing

 

The foundation of modern security relies on encryption technology to protect sensitive information and maintain user privacy. However, modern encryption algorithms are “broken” – the massive amounts of computing horsepower available today have compromised existing algorithms and made them susceptible to attacks. Cipherloc is a data security solutions company. Our innovative technology can be used to overcome the flaws and inadequacies associated with today’s encryption algorithms in order to fully and securely protect the world’s data.

 

Personnel

 

As of the date of this report, we have seven full-time employees.

In an effort to keep our stockholders and the public informed about our business, we may make “forward-looking statements.” Forward-looking statements usually relate to future events and anticipated revenues, earnings, cash flows or other aspects of our operations or operating results. As indicated previously, forward-looking statements are often identified by words, “will”, “may”, “should”, “continue”, “anticipate”, “believe”, “expect”, “plan”, “forecast”, “project”, “estimate”, “intend” and words of similar nature. Forward-looking statements generally include statements containing:

 

projections about accounting and finances;
   
plans and objectives for the future;
   
projections or estimates about assumptions relating to our performance; or
   
our opinions, views or beliefs about the effects of current or future events, circumstances or performance.

 

You should view those statements with caution. Those statements are not guarantees of future performance, circumstances or events. They are based on facts and circumstances known to us as of the date the statements are made. All phases of our business are subject to uncertainties, risks and other influences, many of which we do not control. Any of these factors either alone or taken together, could have a material adverse effect on us and could change whether any forward-looking statement ultimately turns out to be true. Additionally, we assume no obligation to update any forward-looking statement as a result of future events, circumstances or developments.

 

ITEM 1A. RISK FACTORS

 

Outlined below are some of the risks that we believe could affect our business and financial statements. An investment in our common stock involves a high degree of risk. You should carefully consider the following information about these risks, together with the other information contained in this Annual Report on Form 10-K, before investing in our common stock. If any of the events anticipated by the risks described below occur, our results of operations and financial condition could be adversely affected which could result in a decline in the market price of our common stock, causing you to lose all or part of your investment.

 

The report of our independent registered public accounting firm contains explanatory language that substantial doubt exists about our ability to continue as a going concern.

 

The independent auditor’s report on our financial statements for the year ended September 30, 2017 contains explanatory language that substantial doubt exists about our ability to continue as a going concern. We have an accumulated deficit at September 30, 2017 of $50,201,730. We will need additional cash flows to maintain our operations.

 

We depend upon equity financing provided by our active Private Placement Memorandum (PPM) and product sales to finance our operations and need to obtain additional funding sources to explore potential strategic relationships and to provide capital and other resources for the further development and marketing of our products and business. If we are unable to obtain sufficient financing in the near term or achieve profitability, then we would, in all likelihood, experience severe liquidity problems and may have to curtail or cease our operations altogether.

 

A continued lack of profitability resulting from the lack of sales and high level of expenses has adversely impacted the value of our common shares. If we have to curtail our operations or cease our operations, we may be placed into bankruptcy or undergo liquidation, which will further adversely affect the value of our common shares.

 

Because we are quoted on the OTC Markets, formerly known as “Pinks Sheets,” instead of an exchange or national quotation system, our investors may have a tougher time selling their stock or experience negative volatility on the market price of our stock.

 

Our common stock is traded on the OTCQB “OTC Markets”. The OTCQB “OTC Markets” is often highly illiquid, in part because it does not have a national quotation system by which potential investors can follow the market price of shares except through information received and generated by a limited number of broker-dealers that make markets in particular stocks. There is a greater chance of volatility for securities that trade on the OTCQB “OTC Markets as compared to a national exchange or quotation system. This volatility may be caused by a variety of factors, including the lack of readily available price quotations, the absence of consistent administrative supervision of bid and ask quotations, lower trading volume, and market conditions. Investors in our common stock may experience high fluctuations in the market price and volume of the trading market for our securities. These fluctuations, when they occur, have a negative effect on the market price for our securities. Accordingly, our stockholders may not be able to realize a fair price from their shares when they determine to sell them or may have to hold them for a substantial period of time until the market for our common stock improves.

We depend significantly upon the continued involvement of our present management.

 

The Company’s success depends significantly upon the involvement of our present management, who is in charge of our strategic planning and operations. We may need to attract and retain additional talented individuals in order to carry out our business objectives. The competition for individuals with expertise in this industry could be intense and there are no assurances that these individuals will be available to us.

 

Our common stock is subject to penny stock regulation.

 

Our shares are subject to the provisions of Section 15(g) and Rule 15g-9 of the Exchange Act, as amended, commonly referred to as the “penny stock” rule. Section 15(g) sets forth certain requirements for transactions in penny stocks and Rule 15g-9(d)(1) incorporates the definition of penny stock as that used in Rule 3a51-1 of the Exchange Act. The Commission generally defines penny stock to be any equity security that has a market price less than $5.00 per share, subject to certain exceptions. Rule 3a51-1 provides that any equity security is considered to be penny stock unless that security is: registered and traded on a national securities exchange meeting specified criteria set by the Commission; authorized for quotation on the NASDAQ Stock Market; issued by a registered investment company; excluded from the definition on the basis of price (at least $5.00 per share) or the registrant’s net tangible assets; or exempted from the definition by the Commission. Since our shares are deemed to be “penny stock”, trading in the shares will be subject to additional sales practice requirements on broker/dealers who sell penny stock to persons other than established customers and accredited investors.

 

Compliance with changing regulation of corporate governance and public disclosure will result in additional expenses and pose challenges for our management.

 

Changing laws, regulations and standards relating to corporate governance and public disclosure, including the Dodd-Frank Wall Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act and the rules and regulations promulgated there under, the Sarbanes-Oxley Act and SEC regulations, have created uncertainty for public companies and significantly increased the costs and risks associated with accessing the U.S. public markets. Our management team will need to devote significant time and financial resources to comply with both existing and evolving standards for public companies, which will lead to increased general and administrative expenses and a diversion of management time and attention from revenue generating activities to compliance activities.

 

The Company’s directors and officers may control the outcome of most matters submitted to a vote of shareholders.

 

The President/CEO, Director Mr. De La Garza controls 90% (9,000,000) of the Series A Preferred Stock. Each share of the Preferred Stock has 150 votes on all matters presented to be voted by the holders of common stock. The holders of the Series A Preferred Stock can only convert the shares to common shares, on a 1 to 1.5 basis, upon the agreement by 50.1% vote of all preferred shareholders.

 

Also, the officers and directors have changes in control provisions that allows for the full payment of salary and stock in case the company is taken over by a third party. In addition to the ability of these directors and officers of the Company to vote, shares represent a significant majority of the total voting power of the Company’s common shares.

 

Under Texas law, common shares of the Company owned by the officers and directors may be voted in a manner in which those votes are determined by the directors. Those directors, should they choose to act together, will be able to control substantially all matters affecting the Company, and block a number of matters relating to any potential change of control of the Company. See Item 12–Security Ownership of Certain Beneficial Owners and Management and Related Stockholder Matters.

Risks Related To Our Industry

 

We face intense competition.

 

We continue to experience intense competition across all markets for our products and services. Although we believe our business and product portfolio is a competitive advantage, our competitors that are focused on narrower product lines may be more effective in devoting technical, marketing, and financial resources to compete with us. In addition, barriers to entry in our businesses generally are low and products. Open source software vendors are devoting considerable efforts to developing software that mimics the features and functionality of our products. These competitive pressures may result in decreased sales volumes, price reductions, and/or increased operating costs, such as for marketing and sales incentives, resulting in lower revenue, gross margins, and operating income.

 

Our business depends on our ability to attract and retain talented employees.

 

Our business is based on successfully attracting and retaining talented employees. The market for highly skilled workers and leaders in our industry is extremely competitive. We are limited in our ability to recruit internationally by restrictive domestic immigration laws. If we are less successful in our recruiting efforts, or if we are unable to retain key employees, our ability to develop and deliver successful products and services may be adversely affected. Effective succession planning is also important to our long-term success. Failure to ensure effective transfer of knowledge and smooth transitions involving key employees could hinder our strategic planning and execution.

 

Delays in product development schedules may adversely affect our revenues.

 

The development of software products is a complex and time-consuming process. New products and enhancements to existing products can require long development and testing periods. Our increasing focus on innovative and new software presents new and complex development issues. Significant delays in new product releases or significant problems in creating new products could adversely affect our revenue.

 

Acquisitions and joint ventures may have an adverse effect on our business.

 

We expect to continue making acquisitions or entering into joint ventures as part of our long-term business strategy. These transactions involve significant challenges and risks including that the transaction does not advance our business strategy, that we don’t realize a satisfactory return on our investment, or that we experience difficulty in the integration of new employees, business systems, and technology, or diversion of management’s attention from our other businesses. These events could harm our operating results or financial condition.

 

Risks Related to Our Securities

 

The market price for our common stock may be volatile, and you may not be able to sell our stock at a favorable price or at all.

 

Many factors could cause the market price of our common stock to rise and fall, including:

 

actual or anticipated variations in our quarterly results of operations;
   
changes in market valuations of companies in our industry;
   
changes in expectations of future financial performance;
   
fluctuations in stock market prices and volumes;
   
issuances of dilutive common stock or other securities in the future;

 

  5  

 

 

the addition or departure of key personnel;
   
announcements by us or our competitors of acquisitions, investments or strategic alliances; and
   
it is possible that the proceeds from sales of our common stock may not equal or exceed the prices you paid for the shares after including the costs and fees of making the sales

 

Substantial sales of our common stock, or the perception that such sales might occur, could depress the market price of our common stock.

 

We cannot predict whether future issuances of our common stock or resale in the open market will decrease the market price of our common stock. The consequence of any such issuances or resale of our common stock on our market price may be increased as a result of the fact that our common stock is thinly, or infrequently, traded. The exercise of any options, or the vesting of any restricted stock that we may grant to directors, executive officers and other employees in the future, the issuance of common stock in connection with acquisitions and other issuances of our common stock, may decrease the market price of our common stock.

 

Holders of our common stock have a risk of potential dilution if we issue additional shares of common stock in the future.

 

Although our Board of Directors intends to utilize its reasonable business judgment to fulfill its fiduciary obligations to our then existing stockholders in connection with any future issuance of our common stock, the future issuance of additional shares of our common stock would cause immediate, and potentially substantial, dilution to the net tangible book value of those shares of common stock that are issued and outstanding immediately prior to such transaction. Any future decrease in the net tangible book value of our issued and outstanding shares could have a material adverse effect on the market value of our shares.

 

Additionally, the Company issued a convertible note, which includes adjustments to the conversion price based on the market price of our common stock. The note does not contain a minimum conversion price or floor price per share, nor does it contain an explicit limit on the number of shares that may be issued upon conversion. If the Company is not able to repay the convertible note in cash, the conversion of the note by the holders could have a material adverse effect on the Company’s common stock.

 

We do not intend to pay cash dividends to our stockholders, so you will not receive any return on your investment in our Company prior to selling your interest in the Company.

 

The Company has never paid any cash dividends to our stockholders. We currently intend to retain any future earnings for funding growth and, therefore, do not expect to pay any cash dividends in the foreseeable future. As a result, you will not receive any return on your investment prior to selling your shares in our Company and, for the other reasons discussed in this “Risk Factors” section, you may not receive any return on your investment even when you sell your shares in our Company.

 

Certain shares of our common stock are restricted from immediate resale. The lapse of those restrictions, coupled with the sale of the related shares in the market, or the market’s expectation of such sales, could result in an immediate and substantial decline in the market price of our common stock.

 

Most of our shares of common stock are restricted from immediate resale in the public market. The restricted shares are restricted in accordance with Rule 144, which states that if unregistered, restricted securities are to be sold, a minimum of one year must elapse between the later of the date of acquisition of the securities from the issuer or from an affiliate of the issuer, and any resale of those securities in reliance on Rule 144. The Rule 144 restrictive legend remains on the stock until the holder of the stock holds the stock for longer than six months (unless an affiliate) and meets the other requirements of Rule 144 to have the restriction removed. The sale or resale of those shares in the public market, or the market’s expectation of such sales, may result in an immediate and substantial decline in the market price of our shares. Such a decline will adversely affect our investors, and make it more difficult for us to raise additional funds through equity offerings in the future.

 

Our common stock is subject to restrictions on sales by broker-dealers and penny stock rules, which may be detrimental to investors.

 

Our common stock is subject to Rules 15g-1 through 15g-9 under the Exchange Act, which imposes certain sales practice requirements on broker-dealers who sell our common stock to persons other than established customers and “accredited investors” (as defined in Rule 501(a) of the Securities Act). For transactions covered by this rule, a broker-dealer must make a special suitability determination for the purchaser and have received the purchaser’s written consent to the transaction prior to the sale. This rule adversely affects the ability of broker-dealers to sell our common stock and purchasers of our common stock to sell their shares of our common stock.

 

  6  

 

 

Additionally, our common stock is subject to SEC regulations applicable to “penny stocks.” Penny stocks include any non-Nasdaq equity security that has a market price of less than $5.00 per share, subject to certain exceptions. The regulations require that prior to any non-exempt buy/sell transaction in a penny stock; a disclosure schedule proscribed by the SEC relating to the penny stock market must be delivered by a broker-dealer to the purchaser of such penny stock. This disclosure must include the amount of commissions payable to both the broker-dealer and the registered representative and current price quotations for our common stock. The regulations also require that monthly statements be sent to holders of a penny stock that disclose recent price information for the penny stock and information of the limited market for penny stocks. These requirements adversely affect the market liquidity of our common stock.

 

Our Articles of Incorporation allow us to sell preferred stock without shareholder approval.

 

Our Board of Directors has the authority to issue up to 10,000,000 shares of preferred stock and to determine the price, rights, preferences, privileges and restrictions, including voting rights, of those shares without any additional vote or action by our shareholders. The rights of the holders of the common stock will be subject to, and could be materially adversely affected by, the rights of the holders of any preferred stock that may be issued in the future. For example we could issue preferred stock that has superior rights to dividends or is convertible into shares of common stock. This might adversely affect the market price of the common stock.

 

If we experience delays and/or defaults in customer payments, we could be unable to recover all expenditures.

 

Because of the nature of our contracts, at times we commit resources to projects prior to receiving payments from the customer in amounts sufficient to cover expenditures on projects as they are incurred. Delays in customer payments may require us to make a working capital investment. If a customer defaults in making their payments on a project in which we have devoted resources, it could have a material negative effect on our results of operations.

 

If we do not effectively manage our growth, our existing infrastructure may become strained, and we may be unable to increase revenue growth.

 

Our past growth that we have experienced, and in the future may experience, may provide challenges to our organization, requiring us to expand our personnel and our operations. Future growth may strain our infrastructure, operations and other managerial and operating resources. If our business resources become strained, our earnings may be adversely affected and we may be unable to increase revenue growth. Further, we may undertake contractual commitments that exceed our labor resources, which could also adversely affect our earnings and our ability to increase revenue growth.

 

SHOULD ONE OR MORE OF THE FOREGOING RISKS OR UNCERTAINTIES MATERIALIZE, OR SHOULD THE UNDERLYING ASSUMPTIONS PROVE INCORRECT, ACTUAL RESULTS MAY DIFFER SIGNIFICANTLY FROM THOSE ANTICIPATED, BELIEVED, ESTIMATED, EXPECTED, INTENDED OR PLANNED.

On September 26, 2017, the Company issued a convertible note to FirstFire Global Opportunities Fund, LLC with a principal amount of $330,000 and an original issue discount of $30,000. The note accrues interest at 5% per annum and matures on March 26, 2018, six months following the issuance date. The note provides the holder with the right, at any time on or after the note’s maturity date, to convert all or a portion of the outstanding principal balance and accrued interest to shares of the Company’s common stock at a fixed conversion price of $2.00 per share. The note contains adjustments to the conversion price in the event of default, if shares of the Company trade below the fixed conversion price on the day following the conversion date, or if the Company consummates a registered or unregistered primary offering of its securities for capital raising purposes. Subsequent to September 30, 2017, the fixed conversion price was adjusted from $2.00 to $1.00 per share. Refer to Note 5 for further detail.

  9  

 

 

The issuance of preferred stock by our board of directors could adversely affect the rights of holders of the common stock by, among other things, establishing preferential dividends, liquidation rights or voting powers. See “Risk Factors” above.

 

Common Stock

 

On April 11, 2011, the Company amended its articles of incorporation to increase the authorized shares to 650,000,000 shares, at $0.01 par value.

The holders of our common stock are entitled to receive such dividends, if any, as may be declared by our board of directors from time to time out of legally available funds. The dividend rights of our common stock are junior to any preferential dividend rights of any outstanding shares of preferred stock. The holders of our common stock also are entitled to receive distributions upon our liquidation, dissolution or winding up of our assets that are legally available for distribution, after payment of all debt and other liabilities and distribution in full of preferential amounts, if any, to be distributed to holders of our preferred stock.

 

The holders of our common stock are not entitled to preemptive, subscription, redemption or conversion rights. The rights, preferences and privileges of holders of our common stock are subject to, and may be adversely affected by, the rights of any series of preferred stock that we may designate and issue in the future.

Additionally, during the year ended September 30, 2017, the Company issued 560,000 warrants to the Private Placement Investors. The Private Placement Investors were granted units, which consisted of one share of common stock and a warrant to purchase two additional shares of common stock, for $2 each. The warrants were issued with an exercise price of $4.50 and a term of two years.

 

ITEM 6. SELECTED FINANCIAL DATA

 

This Item is not required for smaller reporting companies and the company has elected to omit this information.

 

ITEM 7. MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

 

The following discussion and analysis should be read in conjunction with our financial statements, including the notes thereto, appearing elsewhere in this Report.

 

The following information contains certain forward-looking statements of our management. Forward-looking statements are statements that estimate the happening of future events and are not based on historical fact. Forward-looking statements may be identified by the use of forward-looking terminology, such as “may,” “could,” “expect,” “estimate,” “anticipate,” “plan,” “predict,” “probable,” “possible,” “should,” “continue,” or similar terms, variations of those terms or the negative of those terms. The forward-looking statements specified in the following information have been compiled by our management on the basis of assumptions made by management and considered by management to be reasonable. Our future operating results, however, are impossible to predict and no representation, guaranty, or warranty is to be inferred from those forward-looking statements.

 

Our Business

 

Cipherloc is a data security solutions company. Our highly innovative products - based on our patented polymorphic encryption technology - are designed to enable an iron-clad layer of protection to be added to existing solutions. Cipherloc has developed technology that:

 

Dramatically enhances data security
   
Can be easily added to existing products
   
Is scalable and future-proof

 

  10  

 

 

The Company has introduced an innovative and revolutionary new type of encryption technology with five international patents and three US patents pending and is the industry’s first “Polymorphic Cipher Engine”, called Cipherloc ® . It is the first secure commercially viable advanced “Polymorphic Key Progression Algorithmic Cipher Engine” (PKPA). This morphing cipher can be used in any commercial data security industry and/or in sensitive applications.

 

Critical Accounting Policies

 

Our financial statements are prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America. The preparation of these financial statements requires the use of 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 and the reported amount of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Our management periodically evaluates the estimates and judgments made. Management bases its estimates and judgments on historical experience and on various factors that are believed to be reasonable under the circumstances. Actual results may differ from these estimates as a result of different assumptions or conditions.

 

The methods, estimates, and judgment we use in applying our most critical accounting policies have a significant impact on the results we report in our financial statements. The SEC has defined “critical accounting policies” as those accounting policies that are most important to the portrayal of our financial condition and results, and require us to make our most difficult and subjective judgments, often as a result of the need to make estimates of matters that are inherently uncertain. Based upon this definition, our most critical estimates are litigation. Our most critical accounting policies applicable to the periods presented are noted below. For additional information see Note 3, “Significant Accounting Policies” in the notes to our financial statements appearing elsewhere in this report. Although we believe that our estimates and assumptions are reasonable, they are based upon information presently available, and actual results may differ significantly from these estimates.

 

Accounting for Convertible Debt and Embedded Derivatives

 

Convertible debt is accounted for under the guidelines established by ASC 470-20, Debt with Conversion and Other Options . ASC 470-20 governs the calculation of an embedded beneficial conversion, which is treated as an additional discount to the instruments where derivative accounting does not apply. The amount of the beneficial conversion feature may reduce the carrying value of the instrument. The discounts relating to the initial recording of the derivatives or beneficial conversion features are accreted over the term of the debt.

 

When equity instruments, such as common stock or warrants, are issued with convertible debt, the net proceeds from the transaction are allocated to the convertible debt and equity instruments based on their relative fair values. The proceeds allocated to the equity instruments may reduce the carrying value of the convertible debt, and such discount is amortized to interest expense over the term of the debt.

 

Conversion features in our convertible notes are contingent upon certain events. In these cases, we do not evaluate the embedded conversion feature until the contingencies are removed. In cases where the embedded conversion feature is no longer contingently convertible, we evaluate its terms to determine if the host instrument is clearly and closely related to it. One of the considerations is whether there is an explicit limit on the number of shares by which the note is convertible into common stock. If there is no explicit limit, we account for the embedded derivative as a liability to be reported at estimated fair value at each reporting period. As of the balance sheet date, the embedded conversion feature in our convertible note is contingently convertible, thus this derivative is not separately reported as a liability at fair value in accordance with ASC 815, Accounting for Derivative Financial Instruments and Hedging Activities .

 

Software Revenue Recognition

 

Software license revenue is generally recognized when a signed contract or other persuasive evidence of an arrangement exists, the software has been electronically delivered, the license fee is fixed or is measured on a paid user basis; and collection of the resulting receivable is probable. When contracts contain multiple elements wherein Vendor-Specific Objective Evidence (“VSOE”) exists for all undelivered elements, we account for the delivered elements in accordance with the “Residual Method.” VSOE of fair value for maintenance and support is established by a stated renewal rate, if substantive, included in the license arrangement or rates charged in stand-alone sales of maintenance and support. Revenue from subscription license agreements, which include software, rights to unspecified future products and maintenance, is recognized ratably over the term of the subscription period.

 

Provided all other revenue criteria are met, the upfront, minimum, non-refundable license fees from customers are generally recognized upon delivery and on-going royalty fees are generally recognized upon reports of new licenses issued. If there is significant uncertainty about the project completion or receipt of payment for professional services, revenue is deferred until the uncertainty is sufficiently resolved. VSOE of fair value of services is based upon stand-alone sales of those services.

 

Stock Issued to Employees and Non-Employees

 

The Company measures the compensation cost using the fair value based method. This method uses the fair value at the grant date based on the value of the award and is recognized over the service period, which is usually the vesting period. Grants to vendors are recorded at fair value at each reporting period.

 

Results of Operations

 

Fiscal Year Ended September 30, 2017, Compared to Fiscal Year Ended September 30, 2016

 

Revenue increased to $467,274 from $341,478 for the years ended September 30, 2017 and 2016, respectively. Revenue increased primarily as a result of ratably recognizing a software license sale over twelve months during the year ended September 30, 2017, as compared to approximately nine months for the year ended September 30, 2016. Correspondingly, cost of revenue increased to $121,200 from $90,900 for the years ended September 30, 2017 and 2016, respectively. Cost of revenue is comprised of salaries and maintenance costs related to the Company’s core Cipherloc products.

 

  11  

 

 

General and administrative expenses increased to $3,166,471 from $1,167,466 for the years ended September 30, 2017 and 2016, respectively. General and administrative expenses increased primarily as a result of higher stock-based compensation related to the Company’s issuance of shares to the CEO and former CFO as a bonus, and to a Board member for his tenure on the Board.

 

Sales and marketing expenses increased to $354,005 from $218,722 for the years ended September 30, 2017 and 2016, respectively. Sales and marketing expenses increased primarily as a result of hiring sales and marketing personnel during the year.

 

Research and development expenses increased to $1,087,372 from $755,159 for the years ended September 30, 2017 and 2016, respectively. Research and development expenses increased primarily as a result of higher stock-based compensation related to the issuance of shares to employees for patent work and as employee bonuses.

 

Settlement expense was $106,250 for the year ended September 30, 2017, as compared to $763,469 for the year ended September 30, 2016. Settlement expense for the year ended September 30, 2017 was due to the issuance of 25,000 shares of common stock for a software license termination settlement related to the Company retiring its medical software offering and shifting its focus to cyber security. Settlement expense for the year ended September 30, 2016 was due to the issuance of 327,500 shares of common stock related to a legal settlement and software license termination.

 

Interest expense, net of interest income, increased to $53,137 from $47,117 for the years ended September 30, 2017 and 2016, respectively. The increase relates primarily to interest expensed towards unpaid accrued benefits and salaries related to the former Chief Financial Officer of the Company in accordance with the employment agreement.

 

Liquidity and Capital Resources

 

We have an accumulated deficit at September 30, 2017 of $50,201,730. We expect to incur substantial expenses and generate continued operating losses until we generate revenues sufficient to meet our obligations. At September 30, 2017, the Company had cash of $227,396. We believe that our existing cash balances are insufficient to fund future operations for the next 12 months. These factors raise doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern.

 

We depend upon the continued participation of our active Private Placement Memorandum (PPM) to finance our operations and need to obtain additional funding sources to explore potential strategic relationships and to provide capital and other resources for the further development and marketing of our products and business. The Company has raised money in the form of a private placement memorandum totaling $1,383,320, net of offering costs. In addition, subsequent to September 30, 2017, the Company raised approximately $77,000 in equity financing, net of offering costs.

 

In September 2017, the Company raised $300,000 from the issuance of convertible notes with a face value of $330,000 during the year ended September 30, 2017 due within 180 days from issuance. In December 2017, the Company also raised a net amount of $242,600 from a convertible note with a face value of $300,000, which is due within three years from issuance and becomes convertible 180 days from issuance. These notes become due 180 days and three years, respectively, from issuance of the note at significant premiums. After 180 days, these notes become convertible at various rates which could cause a rapid decline in the price of our common stock.

 

There is no assurance that such funding, if required will be available to us or, if available, will be available upon terms favorable to us. The accompanying financial statements do not include any adjustments that might result from the outcome of this uncertainty. Our independent registered public accounting firm has included an explanatory paragraph in their opinion regarding substantial doubt about Cipherloc’s ability to continue as a going concern.

Cash Flows

 

The following table summarizes, for the periods indicated, selected items in our Statements of Cash Flows:

 

    Year Ended September 30,  
    2017     2016  
             
Net cash (used in) provided by:

Investing activities   $ (2,798 )   $ (28,247 )
Financing activities   $ 1,674,820     $ 946,320  

 

Operating Activities

 

Cash used in operating activities was $1,788,764 and $2,567,341 for the years ended September 30, 2017 and 2016, respectively. The decrease in cash used for operating activities was due to lower salaries and consulting fees in 2017 versus 2016.

 

Investing Activities

 

Cash used in investing activities was $2,798 and $28,247 for the years ended September 30, 2017 and 2016, respectively. The decrease in cash used for investing activities was due to fewer fixed asset purchases and a decrease in deposits held to secure leases and contracts.

 

Financing Activities

 

Cash provided by financing activities was $1,674,820 and $946,320 for the years ended September 30, 2017 and 2016, respectively. The increase in cash provided by financing activities was due to the issuance of a convertible note and more issuances of common stock for cash.

 

Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements

 

We have no off-balance sheet arrangements including arrangements that would affect the liquidity, capital resources, market risk support and credit risk support or other benefits.

 

ITEM 7A. QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK

REPORT OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM

 

The Board of Directors and Stockholders

Cipherloc Corporation

 

We have audited the accompanying balance sheets of Cipherloc Corporation (the “Company”) as of September 30, 2017 and 2016, and the related statements of operations, stockholders’ deficit and cash flows for the years then ended. These financial statements are the responsibility of the Company’s management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements based on our audits.

 

We conducted our audits in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States). Those standards require that we plan and perform the audits to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement. The Company is not required to have, nor were we engaged to perform, an audit of its internal control over financial reporting. Our audits included consideration of internal control over financial reporting as a basis for designing audit procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the Company’s internal control over financial reporting. Accordingly, we express no such opinion. An audit also includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements, assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.

 

In our opinion, the financial statements referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of the Company as of September 30, 2017 and 2016, and the results of its operations and its cash flows for the years then ended, in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.

 

The accompanying financial statements have been prepared assuming the Company will continue as a going concern. As more fully explained in Note 2 to the financial statements, the Company has incurred losses and has a working capital deficit as of September 30, 2017. These factors raise substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern. Management’s plans with respect to these factors are also described on Note 2. The Company’s financial statements do not include any adjustments that might result from the outcome of these uncertainties should the Company be unable to continue as a going concern.

 

As discussed in Notes 2 and 5, the Company issued a convertible note, which if not paid upon maturity, has no explicit limit on the number of shares that may be issued since the conversion prices are based on a discount to the market prices of the Company’s common stock, with no floor price per share. In the event the Company does not repay this convertible note, the holders, upon conversion, may cause a significant adverse impact on the Company’s common stock. Also see Note 10 for subsequent amendments to the terms of the convertible note, and related common stock and warrants previously issued in connection therewith, which will be accounted for as an extinguishment with a loss recorded to operations.

CIPHERLOC CORPORATION

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

FOR THE YEARS ENDED SEPTEMBER 30, 2017 AND 2016

 

NOTE 1- DESCRIPTION OF BUSINESS

 

Cipherloc Corporation (the “Company” or “Cipherloc”) was incorporated in Texas on June 22, 1953 as American Mortgage Company. On March 15, 2015, the Company changed its name to Cipherloc Corporation. The name change became effective through the Amended Certificate as of March 23, 2015.

 

Cipherloc is a data security solutions company. Our highly innovative products - based on our patented polymorphic encryption technology - are designed to enable an iron-clad layer of protection to be added to existing solutions.

 

NOTE 2 – RISKS AND UNCERTAINTIES

 

Going Concern

 

The accompanying financial statements have been prepared in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“GAAP”), which contemplate continuation of the Company as a going concern. However, the Company has incurred losses from operations, has an accumulated deficit at September 30, 2017 of $50,201,730 and needs additional cash to maintain its operations.

 

These factors raise doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern. The accompanying financial statements do not include any adjustments that might result from the outcome of this uncertainty. The Company’s continued existence is dependent upon management’s ability to develop profitable operations, continued contributions from the Company’s executive officers to finance its operations and the ability to obtain additional funding sources to explore potential strategic relationships and to provide capital and other resources for the further development and marketing of the Company’s products and business.

 

Convertible Notes

 

In September 2017, the Company issued a convertible note with a principal amount of $330,000 which includes an original issue discount of $30,000. The note accrues interest at 5% per annum and matures six months following the issuance date. The note provides the holder with the right, at any time on or after the note’s maturity date, to convert all or a portion of the outstanding principal balance and accrued interest to shares of the Company’s common stock at a fixed conversion price. The note includes adjustments to the conversion price based on the market price of the Company’s common stock after 180 days if the note is not repaid on the maturity date. Refer to Note 5 for further details. After the maturity date, the note does not contain a minimum conversion price or floor price per share, nor does it contain an explicit limit on the number of shares that may be issued upon conversion. If the Company is not able to repay the convertible note in cash at maturity, the conversion of the note by the holders could have a material adverse effect on the Company’s common stock.

 

In December 2017, the Company issued an additional convertible note in the amount of $300,000 payable in three years. Refer to Note 10 for further details.

 

NOTE 3 – SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

 

The Company prepares its financial statements in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America. Significant accounting policies are as follows:

 

Use of Estimates and Assumptions

 

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect (i) the reported amounts of assets and liabilities, (ii) the disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities known to exist as of the date the financial statements are published, and (iii) the reported amount of net revenues and expenses recognized during the periods presented. Adjustments made with respect to the use of estimates often relate to improved information not previously available. Uncertainties with respect to such estimates and assumptions are inherent in the preparation of financial statements; accordingly, actual results could differ from these estimates. The Company’s most significant estimates relate to the valuation of its convertible note and the valuation of its common stock.

 

Legal

 

The Company is subject to legal proceedings, claims and liabilities which arise in the ordinary course of business. The Company accrues for losses associated with legal claims when such losses are probable and can be reasonably estimated. These accruals are adjusted as additional information becomes available or circumstances change. Legal fees are charged to expense as they are incurred.

 

Cash and Cash Equivalents and Concentration of Credit Risk

 

The Company considers all highly liquid investments with an original maturity of three months or less to be cash equivalents. At September 30, 2017 and 2016, cash and cash equivalents include cash on hand and cash in the bank. The Company maintains its cash in accounts held by large, globally recognized banks which, at times, may exceed federally insured limits as guaranteed by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation (FDIC). The FDIC insures these deposits up to $250,000. The Company has not experienced any losses in such accounts.

 

  20  

 

 

Website and Software Costs

 

The Company’s accounting for software development costs complies with Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) 985-20, Costs of Software to be Sold, Leased or Marketed, whereby capitalization begins when the Company has a working prototype and has been tested, thereby achieving technological feasibility. This occurs very late in the development stage of the software product. The Company has determined the software costs do not fall under ASC 350-40, Internal-Use Software, based on the guidance in ASC 985-605-55-119 through 125 which covers guidance for hosting agreements. The Company’s product will generally not be hosted and will reside on the technology platform available to the user.

 

Fixed Assets

 

Fixed assets are recorded at cost and depreciation is provided over the estimated useful lives of the related assets using the straight-line method for financial statement purposes. The estimated life of equipment is three (3) years. The estimated life of our leasehold improvements is the lesser of the term of the related lease and useful life.

 

Long-Lived Assets

 

Long-lived assets are evaluated for impairment whenever events or changes in business circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of the assets may not be fully recoverable or that the useful lives of these assets are no longer appropriate. Each impairment test is based on a comparison of the undiscounted future cash flows to the recorded value of the asset. If impairment is indicated, the asset is written down to its estimated fair value.

 

Fair Value of Financial Instruments

 

The Company's financial instruments consisted primarily of cash, accounts payable and accrued expenses, deferred revenue, convertible note payable, as well as embedded conversion features. The carrying amounts of such financial instruments approximate their respective estimated fair value due to the short-term maturities and approximate market interest rates of these instruments. The embedded conversion feature in the convertible note payable will have to be re-evaluated when the convertible note payable first becomes convertible, which is after six months. At which time, it is probable that the embedded convertible feature will become a derivative which requires bifurcation and is separately recorded as a derivative liability at its estimated fair value.

 

Fair value is focused on an exit price that would be received upon sale of an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date. Within the measurement of fair value, the use of market-based information is prioritized over entity specific information and a three-level hierarchy for fair value measurements is used based on the nature of inputs used in the valuation of an asset or liability as of the measurement date.

 

The three-level hierarchy for fair value measurements is defined as follows:

 

  Level 1 – inputs to the valuation methodology are quoted prices (unadjusted) for identical assets or liabilities in active markets; liabilities in active markets;
     
  Level 2 – inputs to the valuation methodology include quoted prices for similar assets and liabilities in active markets, and inputs that are observable for the asset or liability other than quoted prices, either directly or indirectly, including inputs in markets that are not considered to be active; or directly or indirectly including inputs in markets that are not considered to be active;
     
  Level 3 – inputs to the valuation methodology are unobservable and significant to the fair value measurement.

 

Convertible Debt

 

Convertible debt is accounted for under the guidelines established by ASC 470-20, Debt with Conversion and Other Options . ASC 470-20 governs the calculation of an embedded beneficial conversion, a derivative instrument, which is treated as an additional discount to the instruments where derivative accounting does not apply. This applies during the period for which embedded conversion features are either fixed or not yet available to the holder. The amount of the beneficial conversion feature may reduce the carrying value of the instrument. The discounts relating to the initial recording of the derivatives or beneficial conversion features are accreted over the term of the debt.

 

When equity instruments, such as common stock and/or warrants, are issued with convertible debt, the net proceeds from the transaction are allocated to the convertible debt and equity instruments based on their relative fair values. The proceeds allocated to the equity instruments may reduce the carrying value of the convertible debt, and such discount is amortized to interest expense over the term of the debt.

 

In the event a convertible note has an embedded conversion feature which, among other features, allows an unlimited number of common shares to be issued upon conversion since the conversion price is based on the quoted market price of the Company’s common stock, the Company records a derivative liability, which is marked to market at each reporting period and charged to the statement of operations in accordance with ASC 815, Accounting for Derivative Financial Instruments and Hedging Activities .

 

Customer Concentration

 

During the years ended September 30, 2017 and 2016, one customer accounted for 100% of revenues. The loss of this customer will have a significant impact on operations.

 

  21  

 

 

Revenue Recognition

 

Software license revenue is generally recognized when a signed contract or other persuasive evidence of an arrangement exists, the software has been electronically delivered, the license fee is fixed or is measured on a paid user basis, and collection of the resulting receivable is probable. When contracts contain multiple elements wherein Vendor-Specific Objective Evidence (“VSOE”) exists for all undelivered elements, we account for the delivered elements in accordance with the “Residual Method.” VSOE of fair value for maintenance and support is established by a stated renewal rate, if substantive, included in the license arrangement or rates charged in stand-alone sales of maintenance and support. Revenue from subscription license agreements, which include software, rights to unspecified future products and maintenance, is recognized ratably over the term of the subscription period. When the fair value of VSOE of post contract customer support cannot be determined, the revenue is recognized ratably over the contract period. In June 2014, the Company entered into an agreement to provide software and support to a third party for which no VSOE for any elements is known. Delivery of the use of the license was not achieved until December 2015; the only remaining undelivered element was post contract support services, and accordingly, the revenues will be recognized on a pro rata basis prospectively over the remaining 30 months of the related contracts. Deferred revenue results from fees billed to or collected from customers for which revenue has not yet been recognized.

 

The Company has deferred revenue of $316,248 and $783,522 as of September 30, 2017 and 2016, respectively.

 

Research and Development and Software Development Costs

 

Capitalization of certain software development costs are recorded after the determination of technological feasibility. Based on our product development process, technological feasibility is determined upon the completion of a working model. To date, costs incurred by us from the completion of the working model to the point at which the product is ready for general release do not have technological feasibility. Accordingly, we have charged all such costs to research and development expense in the period incurred. Our research and development costs incurred for the years ended September 30, 2017 and 2016 were $1,087,372 and $755,159, respectively.

 

Share-Based Compensation

 

The Company measures the cost of services provided by employees in exchange for an award of an equity instrument based on the grant-date fair value of the award. Compensation cost is recognized over the vesting or requisite service period. The Black-Scholes option-pricing model is used to estimate the fair value of options or warrants granted. Performance-based grants should be recognized prior to completion if the assessment is that it is probable that the performance condition will be met.

 

For non-employees, the Company uses the fair value at each reporting date over the service period, which is usually the vesting period.

 

Income Taxes

 

The Company utilizes the asset and liability method in accounting for income taxes. Under this method, deferred tax assets and liabilities are recognized for operating loss and tax credit carry-forwards and for the future tax consequences attributable to differences between the financial statement carrying amounts of existing assets and liabilities and their respective tax bases. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are measured using enacted tax rates expected to apply to taxable income in the year in which those temporary differences are expected to be recovered or settled. The effect on deferred tax assets and liabilities of a change in tax rates is recognized in the results of operations in the period that includes the enactment date. A valuation allowance is recorded to reduce the carrying amounts of deferred tax assets unless it is more likely than not that the value of such assets will be realized.

 

The Company uses the two-step approach to recognizing and measuring uncertain tax positions. The first step is to evaluate the tax position for recognition by determining if the weight of available evidence indicates it is more likely than not, that the position will be sustained on audit, including resolution of related appeals or litigation processes, if any. The second step is to measure the tax benefit as the largest amount, which is more than 50% likely of being realized upon ultimate settlement. The Company considers many factors when evaluating and estimating the Company’s tax positions and tax benefits, which may require periodic adjustments. The Company did not record any liabilities for uncertain tax positions for the years ended September 30, 2017 or 2016.

 

  22  

 

 

Basic and Diluted Net Loss per Common Share

 

Basic income (loss) per share is computed by dividing net income (loss) available to common shareholders by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding during the reporting period. The weighted average number of shares is calculated by taking the number of shares outstanding and weighting them by the amount of time that they were outstanding. Diluted earnings per share reflects the potential dilution that could occur if stock options, warrants, and other commitments to issue common stock were exercised or equity awards vest resulting in the issuance of common stock that could share in the earnings of the Company. As of September 30, 2017 and 2016, the Company had 10,000,000 shares of preferred stock outstanding which are convertible into 15,000,000 shares of common stock.

 

Diluted loss per share is the same as basic loss per share during periods where net losses are incurred since the inclusion of the potential common stock equivalents would be anti-dilutive as a result of the net loss.

 

Recent Accounting Announcements

 

The Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issues Accounting Standards Updates (“ASU”) to amend the authoritative literature in the ASC. There have been a number of ASUs to date that amend the original text of ASC. The Company believes those updates issued to date either (i) provide supplemental guidance, (ii) are technical corrections, (iii) are not applicable to the Company or (iv) are not expected to have a significant impact on the Company.

 

In July 2017, the FASB issued ASU 2017-11, Earnings Per Share (Topic 260) – Accounting for Certain Financial Instruments with Down Round Features , to change the classification analysis of certain equity-linked financial instruments with down round features. When determining whether certain financial instruments should be classified as liabilities or equity instruments, a down round feature no longer precludes equity classification when assessing whether the instrument is indexed to an entity’s own stock. The amendments also clarify existing disclosure requirements for equity-classified instruments. As a result, a freestanding equity-linked financial instrument no longer would be accounted for as a derivative liability at fair value as a result of the existence of a down round feature. For freestanding equity-classified instruments, the amendments require the effect of the down round feature to be recognized in earnings per share when it is triggered. That effect is treated as a dividend and as a reduction of income available to common shareholders in basic EPS. ASU 2017-11 is effective in annual periods beginning after December 15, 2019 and in interim periods within annual periods beginning after December 15, 2020. The Company early adopted ASU 2017-11 during the year ended September 30, 2017.

 

In February 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-02, Leases (Topic 840), to increase transparency and comparability among organizations by recognizing lease assets and lease liabilities on the balance sheet and disclosing key information about leasing arrangements. The amendments in this standard are effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2018, including interim periods within those fiscal years, for a public entity. Early adoption of the amendments in this standard is permitted for all entities and the Company must recognize and measure leases at the beginning of the earliest period presented using a modified retrospective approach. The Company is currently in the process of evaluating the effect this guidance will have on its financial statements and related disclosures.

 

In May 2014, the FASB issued ASU No. 2014-09, Revenue from Contracts with Customers (Topic 606). Under this guidance, revenue is recognized when promised goods or services are transferred to customers in an amount that reflects the consideration that is expected to be received for those goods or services. The updated standard will replace most existing revenue recognition guidance under U.S. GAAP when it becomes effective and permits the use of either the retrospective or cumulative effect transition method. Early adoption is not permitted. The updated standard will be effective for the Company beginning January 1, 2018. The Company is currently evaluating the effect that the updated standard will have on its financial statements and related disclosures.

 

In August 2014, the FASB issued ASU No. 2014-15, Presentation of Financial Statements—Going Concern: Disclosure of Uncertainties about an Entity’s Ability to Continue as a Going Concern (Subtopic 205-40), which requires management to evaluate, at each annual and interim reporting period, whether there are conditions or events that raise substantial doubt about the entity’s ability to continue as a going concern within one year after the date the financial statements are issued and provide related disclosures. ASU No. 2014-15 is effective for annual periods ending after December 15, 2016 and interim periods thereafter. Early application is permitted. The Company is currently evaluating the effect that the updated standard will have on its financial statements and related disclosures.

 

In November 2015, the FASB issued ASU No. 2015-17, Income Taxes: Balance Sheet Classification of Deferred Taxes (Topic 740), which requires deferred tax liabilities and assets to be classified as noncurrent in a classified statement of financial position. ASU No. 2015-17 will align the presentation of deferred income tax assets and liabilities with International Financial Reporting Standards. The new standard will be effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2016, including interim periods within those annual years, and early application is permitted. The Company is currently evaluating the effect that the updated standard will have on its financial statements and related disclosures.

NOTE 4 – SOFTWARE LICENSES

 

Gawk

 

On June 14, 2014, the Company entered into a license agreement with Gawk to use the Cipherloc engine for $1,125,000 for a period of four (4) years. This customer licensed the CipherShop-Cipherloc encryption software technology and support services. The Company was not required to make significant modifications at the time the contract was executed. The Company has never sold or licensed the CipherShop-Cipherloc encryption software, nor any support services for such. Under the license agreement, the Company is to provide access to its software on an operational basis and provide training. The Company will also provide unspecified upgrades, if and when available, and 24/7 support over the license term. No Vendor-Specific Objective Evidence was known for any of the elements. After the agreement was executed, the licensee requested modifications to the software because they could not use the software with the requested modifications. The Company made the newly requested modifications to the software. Management delivered the finished product in late December 2015, thus delivery had not deemed to have occurred until such date. The contract termination date was not extended beyond the initial date of June 2018. Revenues are being recorded from the date of delivery over the remaining term of the agreement or approximately 30 months. For these reasons, revenue is recognized ratably from December 2015 until June 2018. During the years ended September 30, 2017 and 2016, the Company recognized revenues of $467,274 and $341,478, and had deferred revenue balances of $316,248 and $783,522, respectively.

 

NOTE 5 – CONVERTIBLE NOTE PAYABLE

 

On September 26, 2017, the Company issued a convertible note to FirstFire Global Opportunities Fund, LLC with a principal amount of $330,000 which includes an original issue discount of $30,000. The Company incurred $8,500 in direct costs. The note accrues interest at 5% per annum and matures on March 26, 2018, six months following the issuance date. The note provides the holder with the right, at any time on or after the note’s maturity date, to convert all or a portion of the outstanding principal balance and accrued interest to shares of the Company’s common stock at a conversion price of $2.00 per share, subject to certain adjustments to the conversion price under certain circumstances. In the event of default, the conversion price shall equal the lower of $2.00 per share or 70% multiplied by the lowest bid price of the Company’s common stock during the 25 trading days preceding the conversion date. An event of default, among other events, is the non-payment of the note at maturity.

 

If shares of the Company’s common stock trade below $2.00 per share on the day following the conversion date, the conversion price shall be retroactively adjusted to equal 75% multiplied by the lowest traded price on the day following the conversion date. If the Company consummates a registered or unregistered primary offering of its securities for capital raising purposes, the holder of the note shall have the right to demand repayment in full or convert the outstanding principal balance and accrued interest into shares of the Company’s common stock at the lower of $2.00 per share or a 20% discount to the offering price to investors in the primary offering.

 

Together with the convertible note, the Company also issued 50,000 shares of its common stock, as well as warrants to purchase an additional 165,000 shares of common stock at $4.50 per share, to FirstFire Global Opportunities Fund, LLC. The relative fair value of the common stock and warrants were $44,609 and $84,227, respectively. Refer to Note 8 below for further discussion of the common stock and warrants that were issued with the convertible note. Based on this allocation, the Company concluded that the convertible note contained a beneficial conversion feature, which was valued at $135,986 and recorded as an additional discount and within additional paid-in capital on the balance sheet, resulting in an aggregate discount of $303,322. The Company is amortizing the discount over the term of the note to interest expense using the effective interest method, commencing October 1, 2017.

 

See Note 10 for a subsequent amendment to the convertible note, which reduced the conversion price of the convertible note, reduced the exercise price of the warrants, and also specified additional shares to be issued.

 

NOTE 6 – RELATED PARTY TRANSACTIONS

 

Notes Payable to Chief Executive Officer

 

In September 2017, the Company’s Chief Executive Officer (“CEO”) issued four notes with an aggregate principal amount of $70,000 to the Company. The notes bore interest at 3% per annum and matured one year from the issuance date. The Company repaid all four notes in full at the end of September. As of September 30, 2017, there were no outstanding notes payable to the Company’s CEO.

 

See Note 8 for additional related party transactions.

NOTE 7 – COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES

 

Litigation

 

As of September 30, 2017, the Company is not involved in any material litigation.

 

The Company has settled all litigation in which it was involved. The matter that was pending in the United States Federal District Court for the Southern District of Mississippi was settled and dismissed on July 12, 2016 and the matter pending in Chancery Court of Rankin County Mississippi was settled and dismissed on July 18, 2016. The Company repurchased its stock with the $45,580 it held in escrow as the Company’s contribution to the settlements and all other expenses and costs were covered by the Company’s insurance carrier. The repurchased stock had a fair market value of $61,281 resulting in a gain on settlement.

 

Employment Contracts

 

The Company entered into an employment agreement with its Chief Executive Officer on January 1, 2013. The employment agreement will expire on January 1, 2018 and shall automatically renew for another five years unless terminated in accordance with the provisions of the employment agreement.

NOTE 9 - INCOME TAXES

 

The provision (benefit) for income taxes from continued operations for the years ended September 30, 2017 and 2016 consist of the following:

 

    September 30,  
    2017     2016  
Current:

Valuation allowance     781,817       603,753  
Provision (benefit) for income taxes, net   $ -     $ -  

 

The difference between income tax expense computed by applying the federal statutory corporate tax rate and actual income tax expense is as follows:

 

    September 30,  
    2017     2016  
Statutory federal income tax rate     34.0 %     34.0 %

Valuation allowance     (18.0 )     (23.0 )
Effective tax rate     0.0 %     0.0 %

Deferred income taxes result from temporary differences in the recognition of income and expenses for the financial reporting purposes and for tax purposes. The tax effect of these temporary differences representing deferred tax asset and liabilities result principally from the following:

 

    September 30,  
    2017     2016  
Net operating loss carry forward   $

4,725,000

    $

3,943,000

 
Valuation allowance     (4,725,000 )     (3,943,000 )
Deferred income tax asset   $ -     $ -  

 

The Company has a net operating loss carry forward of $13.9 million available to offset future taxable income. For income tax reporting purposes, the Company’s aggregate unused net operating losses were subject to the limitations of Section 382 of the Internal Revenue Code, as amended. The Company has provided a valuation reserve against the full amount of the net operating loss benefit, because in the opinion of management based upon the earning history of the Company; it is more likely than not that the benefits will not be realized. For income tax reporting purposes, Management has determined that net operating losses prior to February 5, 2015 are subject to an annual limitation of approximately $600,000.

 

For the years ended September 30, 2017 and 2016, the difference between the amounts of income tax expense or benefit that would result from applying the statutory rates to pretax income to the reported income tax expense of $0 is the result of the net operating loss carry forward and the related valuation allowance, as well as non-deductible stock-based compensation.

 

The Company anticipates it will continue to record a valuation allowance against the losses of certain jurisdictions, primarily federal and state, until such time as it is able to determine it is “more-likely-than-not” the deferred tax asset will be realized. Such position is dependent on whether there will be sufficient future taxable income to realize such deferred tax assets. The Company’s effective tax rate may vary from period to period based on changes in estimated taxable income or loss by jurisdiction, changes to the valuation allowance, changes to federal, state or foreign tax laws, future expansion into areas with varying country, state, and local income tax rates, deductibility of certain costs and expenses by jurisdiction.

 

The Company has not filed its federal income tax returns since 2012, which is through the fiscal year ending September 30, 2013. The Company is preparing the 2013 through 2015 filings, which report activity for the fiscal years ending September 30, 2014 through 2016. The September 30, 2017 tax return is not due at this time. The Company intends to remediate the lack of filing timely tax returns immediately. There are currently no ongoing tax examinations.

 

In December 2017, the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act, which provides tax relief for certain corporations, effective January 1, 2018, was passed. Management is currently evaluating the impact of the effects of the regulations.

ITEM 9A. CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES

 

Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures

 

We maintain disclosure controls and procedures that are designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed in the reports we file or submit under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the Securities and Exchange Commission’s (the “SEC”) rules and forms and that such information is accumulated and communicated to our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, as appropriate, to allow for timely decisions regarding required disclosure. In designing and evaluating the disclosure controls and procedures, management recognizes that any controls and procedures, no matter how well designed and operated, can provide only reasonable assurance of achieving the desired control objectives, and management is required to apply its judgment in evaluating the cost-benefit relationship of possible controls and procedures. Our disclosure controls and procedures have not been formally designed and evaluated to provide reasonable assurance that the controls and procedures would meet their objectives.

 

As required by SEC Rule 13a-15(b), our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer need to carry out an evaluation of the effectiveness of the design and operation of our disclosure controls and procedures as of the end of the period covered by this report. Based on the foregoing, our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures were not effective as of September 30, 2017, due to 1) no formal evaluation has been performed by us and 2) the existence of the material weaknesses in internal control over financial reporting described below (which we view as an integral part of our disclosure controls and procedures). Based on the performance of additional procedures designed to ensure the reliability of our financial reporting, we believe that the financial statements included in this Annual Report fairly present, in all material respects, our financial position, results of operations and cash flows as of the dates, and for the periods, presented, in conformity with U.S. GAAP.

 

Management’s Report on Internal Control over Financial Reporting

 

Our Chief Executive Officer and the Chief Financial Officer are responsible for establishing and maintaining adequate internal control over financial reporting and for the assessment of the effectiveness of our internal control over financial reporting. Internal control over financial reporting (as defined in Rules 13a-15(f) and 15d(f) under the Exchange Act) is a process designed to provide reasonable assurance regarding the reliability of financial reporting and the preparation of financial statements for external reporting purposes in accordance with U.S. GAAP. Internal control over financial reporting includes those policies and procedures that (a) pertain to the maintenance of records that, in reasonable detail, accurately and fairly reflect the transactions and dispositions of assets, (b) provide reasonable assurance that transactions are recorded as necessary to permit preparation of financial statements in accordance with GAAP, (c) provide reasonable assurance that receipts and expenditures are being made only in accordance with appropriate authorization of management and the Board of Directors, and (d) provide reasonable assurance regarding prevention or timely detection of unauthorized acquisition, use or disposition of assets that could have a material effect on the financial statements.

 

In connection with the preparation of our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended September 30, 2017, our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer evaluated the effectiveness of our internal control over financial reporting as of September 30, 2017, and concluded that we did not maintain effective internal control over financial reporting as of September 30, 2017, due to the lack of a formal evaluation that has been performed by us and the identification of material weaknesses.

 

Management has still identified some deficiencies in the design and operating effectiveness of the Company’s internal controls as of September 30, 2017 that represent material weaknesses in our internal control over financial reporting. These deficiencies are the result of management’s failure to design, implement and maintain adequate operational and internal controls and processes including a lack of sufficient accounting staff which resulted in inadequate segregation of duties, the inability to prove delivery of software, an insufficient number of personnel familiar with financial and SEC reporting requirements, inadequate monitoring and review controls over financial reporting and disclosures as well as transaction processing, and insufficient written policies and procedures for accounting and financial reporting.

 

Remediation Plan

 

Management has executed a remediation plan intended to address the material weaknesses discussed above. These remediation efforts are focused on:

 

  Additional accounting staff to provide adequate segregation of duties;
     
  Enhancing controls around proving the delivery of software;
     
  Retaining appropriate resources familiar with financial and SEC reporting requirements;
     
  Monitoring and reviewing controls over financial reporting and disclosures as well as transaction processing; and
     
  Enhancing and maintaining written policies and procedures for accounting and financial reporting.

 

During the year ended September 30, 2017, management engaged additional resources to support the remediation efforts outlined above. In addition, management has continued to train key accounting staff to improve controls that will ultimately eliminate the material weaknesses discussed above, as well as improve the accounting and financial reporting process.

 

We expect that remediation, including testing of related controls, will be completed by the end of third quarter 2018.  

 

Changes in Internal Control over Financial Reporting

 

There were no changes in our internal control over financial reporting during the year ended September 30, 2017 that have materially affected or are reasonably likely to materially affect our internal control over financial reporting, other than the remediation actions discussed above.

 

29

 

 

Inherent Limitations on Internal Controls

 

It should be noted that any system of controls, however well designed and operated, can provide only reasonable and not absolute assurance that the objectives of the control system are met. In addition, the design of any control system is based in part upon certain assumptions about the likelihood of certain events. Limitations inherent in any control system include the following:

 

  Judgments in decision-making can be faulty, and control and process breakdowns can occur because of simple errors or mistakes;
     
  Controls can be circumvented by individuals, acting alone or in collusion with others, or by management override;
     
  The design of any system of controls is based in part on certain assumptions about the likelihood of future events, and there can be no assurance that any design will succeed in achieving its stated goals under all potential future conditions;
     
  Over time, controls may become inadequate because of changes in conditions or deterioration in the degree of compliance with associated policies or procedures; and
     
  The design of a control system must reflect the fact that resources are constrained, and the benefits of controls must be considered relative to their costs.

 

Because of the inherent limitations in all control systems, no evaluation of controls can provide absolute assurance that all control issues and instances of fraud, if any, have been detected.

Audit Committee

 

The Company does not have an audit committee.

 

Conflicts of Interest

 

Members of our management are associated with other firms involved in a range of business activities. Consequently, there are potential inherent conflicts of interest in their acting as officers and directors of our company. Although the directors are engaged in other business activities, we anticipate they will devote an important amount of time to our affairs.

 

Our officers and directors are now and may in the future become shareholders, officers or directors of other companies, which may be formed for the purpose of engaging in business activities similar to ours. Accordingly, additional direct conflicts of interest may arise in the future with respect to such individuals acting on behalf of us or other entities. Moreover, additional conflicts of interest may arise with respect to opportunities which come to the attention of such individuals in the performance of their duties or otherwise. Currently, we do not have a right of first refusal pertaining to opportunities that come to their attention and may relate to our business operations.

 

31

 

 

Our officers and directors are, so long as they are our officers or directors, subject to the restriction that all opportunities contemplated by our plan of operation which come to their attention, either in the performance of their duties or in any other manner, will be considered opportunities of, and be made available to us and the companies that they are affiliated with on an equal basis. A breach of this requirement will be a breach of the fiduciary duties of the officer or director. If we or the companies with which the officers and directors are affiliated both desire to take advantage of an opportunity, then said officers and directors would abstain from negotiating and voting upon the opportunity. However, all directors may still individually take advantage of opportunities if we should decline to do so. Except as set forth above, we have not adopted any other conflict of interest policy with respect to such transactions.

 

Code of Ethics

 

We have adopted a code of ethics that applies to all of our executive officers, directors and employees. Code of ethics codifies the business and ethical principles that govern all aspects of our business. This document will be made available in print, free of charge, to any shareholder requesting a copy in writing from the Company. A form of the code of conduct and ethics was filed as Exhibit 14.1 to the Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended September 30, 2004.

The Corporation established and designates the rights and preferences of a Series A Convertible Preferred Stock. Each share of the Preferred Stock shall have 150 votes on all matters presented to be voted by the holders of our common stock.

 

The issuance of preferred stock by our board of directors could adversely affect the rights of holders of the common stock by, among other things, establishing preferential dividends, liquidation rights or voting powers. See “Risk Factors” above.

  

Voting Rights

 

Each holder of common stock is entitled to one vote for each share of common stock held on all matters submitted to a vote of stockholders. Preferred A shareholders are entitled to 150 votes per share.

 

Dividends

 

Subject to preferences that may be applicable to any then-outstanding shares of Preferred Stock, if any, and any other restrictions, holders of common stock are entitled to receive ratably those dividends, if any, as may be declared from time to time by the Company’s board of directors out of legally available funds. The Company and its predecessors have not declared any dividends in the past. Further, the Company does not presently contemplate that there will be any future payment of any dividends on common stock.

 

Convertible Securities

 

On September 26, 2017, the Company issued a convertible note to FirstFire Global Opportunities Fund, LLC with a principal amount of $330,000 and an original issue discount of $30,000. The note accrues interest at 5% per annum and matures on March 26, 2018, six months following the issuance date. The note provides the holder with the right, at any time on or after the note’s maturity date, to convert all or a portion of the outstanding principal balance and accrued interest to shares of the Company’s common stock at a fixed conversion price of $2.00 per share. The note contains adjustments to the conversion price in the event of default, if shares of the Company trade below the fixed conversion price on the day following the conversion date, or if the Company consummates a registered or unregistered primary offering of its securities for capital raising purposes. Subsequent to September 30, 2017, the fixed conversion price was adjusted from $2.00 to $1.00 per share.

CIPHERLOC CORPORATION

 

CONVERTIBLE DEBENTURE DUE DECEMBER 13, 2020

 

Issuance Date: December 14, 2017 Principal Amount: $300,000.00

 

FOR VALUE RECEIVED, CIPHERLOC CORPORATION , a corporation organized and existing under the laws of the State of Texas (the “Company”), hereby promises to pay to PEAK ONE OPPORTUNITY FUND, L.P. , having its address at 333 South Hibiscus Drive, Miami Beach, FL 33139, or its assigns (the “Holder” and together with the other holders of Debentures issued pursuant to the Securities Purchase Agreement (as defined below), the “Holders”), the initial principal sum of Three Hundred Thousand and 00/100 Dollars ($300,000.00) (subject to adjustment as provided herein, the “Principal Amount”) on December 13 , 2020 (the “Maturity Date”). The Company has the option to redeem this Debenture prior to the Maturity Date pursuant to Section 2(b). All unpaid principal due and payable on the Maturity Date shall be paid in the form of Common Stock of the Company, par value $0.01 per share (“Common Stock”) pursuant to Section 3. The Holder has the option to cause any outstanding principal and accrued interest, if any, on this Debenture to be converted into Common Stock at any time prior to the Redemption Date (as defined below) or the Maturity Date pursuant to Section 2(a).

 

This Debenture is one of the Debentures referred to in the Securities Purchase Agreement (the “Securities Purchase Agreement”) dated as of December 14, 2017, between the Company and the Holder. Capitalized terms used but not defined herein shall have the meanings set forth in the Securities Purchase Agreement. This Debenture is subject to the provisions of the Securities Purchase Agreement and further is subject to the following additional provisions:

 

1. This Debenture has been issued subject to investment representations of the original purchaser hereof and may be transferred or exchanged only in compliance with the Securities Act and other applicable state and foreign securities laws. The Holder may transfer or assign this Debenture (or any part thereof) without the prior consent of the Company, and the Company shall cooperate with any such transfer. In the event of any proposed transfer of this Debenture, the Company may require, prior to issuance of a new Debenture in the name of such other Person, that it receive reasonable transfer documentation including legal opinions that the issuance of the Debenture in such other name does not and will not cause a violation of the Securities Act or any applicable state or foreign securities laws or is exempt from the registration requirements of the Securities Act. Prior to due presentment for transfer of this Debenture to which the Company has consented, the Company and any agent of the Company may treat the Person in whose name this Debenture is duly registered on the Company’s books and records of outstanding debt securities and obligations (“Debenture Register”) as the owner hereof for the purpose of receiving payment as herein provided and for all other purposes, whether or not this Debenture be overdue, and neither the Company nor any such agent shall be affected by notice to the contrary.

 

2. Conversion at Holder’s Option; Redemption at Company’s Option.

 

a. The Holder is entitled to, at any time or from time to time, convert the Conversion Amount (as defined below) into Conversion Shares, at a conversion price for each share of Common Stock (the “Conversion Price”) equal to either: (i) if no Event of Default (as defined herein) has occurred and the date of conversion is prior to the date that is one hundred eighty (180) days after the Issuance Date, $1.00, or (ii) if an Event of Default has occurred or the date of conversion is on or after the date that is one hundred eighty (180) days after the Issuance Date, the lesser of (a) $1.00 or (b) Seventy percent (70%) of the lowest traded price (as reported by Bloomberg LP) of the Common Stock for the twenty (20) Trading Days immediately preceding the date of the date of conversion of the Debentures (provided, further, that if either the Company is not DWAC Operational at the time of conversion or the Common Stock is traded on the OTC Pink (“OTCP”) at the time of conversion, then Seventy percent (70%) shall automatically adjust to Sixty Five percent (65%) of the lowest traded price (as reported by Bloomberg LP) of the Common Stock for the twenty (20) Trading Days immediately preceding the date of conversion of the Debentures), subject in each case to equitable adjustments resulting from any stock splits, stock dividends, recapitalizations or similar events. The Company shall issue irrevocable instructions to its Transfer Agent regarding conversions such that the transfer agent shall be authorized and instructed to issue Conversion Shares upon its receipt of a Notice of Conversion without further approval or authorization from the Company. For purposes of this Debenture, the “Conversion Amount” shall mean the sum of (A) all or any portion of the outstanding Principal Amount of this Debenture, as designated by the Holder upon exercise of its right of conversion plus (B) any interest, pursuant to Section 10 or otherwise, that has accrued on the portion of the Principal Amount that has been designated for payment pursuant to (A).

 

 
 

 

Conversion shall be effectuated by delivering by facsimile, email or other delivery method to the Transfer Agent of the completed form of conversion notice attached hereto as Annex A (the “Notice of Conversion”), executed by the Holder of the Debenture evidencing such Holder’s intention to convert this Debenture or a specified portion hereof. No fractional shares of Common Stock or scrip representing fractions of shares will be issued on conversion, but the number of shares issuable shall be rounded to the nearest whole share. The Holder may, at its election, deliver a Notice of Conversion to either the Company or the Transfer Agent. The date on which notice of conversion is given (the “Conversion Date”) shall be deemed to be the date on which the Company or the Transfer Agent, as the case may be, receives by fax, email or other means of delivery used by the Holder the Notice of Conversion (such receipt being evidenced by electronic confirmation of delivery by facsimile or email or confirmation of delivery by such other delivery method used by the Holder). Delivery of a Notice of Conversion to the Transfer Agent may be given by the Holder by facsimile, or by delivery to the Transfer Agent at the address set forth in the Transfer Agent Instruction Letter (or such other contact facsimile number, email or street address as may be designated by the Transfer Agent to the Holder). Delivery of a Notice of Conversion to the Company shall be given by the Holder pursuant to the notice provisions set forth in Section 10 of the Agreement. The Conversion Shares must be delivered to the Holder within two (2) business days from the date of delivery of the Notice of Conversion to the Transfer Agent or Company, as the case may be. Conversion shares shall be delivered by DWAC so long as the Company is then DWAC Operational, unless the Holder expressly requests delivery in certificated form or the Conversion Shares are in the form of Restricted Stock and are required to bear a restrictive legended. Conversion Shares shall be deemed delivered (i) if delivered by DWAC, upon deposit into the Holder’s brokerage account, or (ii) if delivered in certificated form, upon the Holder’s actual receipt of the Conversion Shares in certificated form at the address specified by the Holder in the Notice of Conversion, as confirmed by written receipt. All expenses incurred by Holder, for the issuance and clearing of the Common Stock into which this Debenture is convertible into, shall immediately and automatically be added to the balance of the Debenture at such time as the expenses are incurred by Holder.

 

Notwithstanding the foregoing, unless the Holder delivers to the Company written notice at least sixty-one (61) days prior to the effective date of such notice that the provisions of this paragraph (the “Limitation on Ownership”) shall not apply to such Holder, in no event shall a holder of Debentures have the right to convert Debentures into, nor shall the Company issue to such Holder, shares of Common Stock to the extent that such conversion would result in the Holder and its affiliates together beneficially owning more than 4.99% of the then issued and outstanding shares of Common Stock. For purposes hereof, beneficial ownership shall be determined in accordance with Section 13(d) of the Exchange Act and Regulation 13D-G under the Exchange Act.

 

b. So long as no Event of Default (as defined in Section 10) shall have occurred and be continuing (whether such Event of Default has been declared by the Holder) (unless the Holder consents to such redemption notwithstanding such Event of Default, as described in clause (v), below), the Company may at its option call for redemption all or part of the Debentures, with the exception of any portion thereof which is the subject of a previously-delivered Notice of Conversion, prior to the Maturity Date, as follows:

 

2
 

 

(i) The Debentures called for redemption shall be redeemable by the Company, upon not more than two (2) days written notice, for an amount (the “Redemption Price”) equal to: (i) if the Redemption Date (as defined below) is ninety (90) days or less from the date of issuance of this Debenture, One Hundred percent (100%) of the sum of the Principal Amount so redeemed plus accrued interest, if any; (ii) if the Redemption Date is greater than or equal to one ninety-one (91) days from the date of issuance of this Debenture and less than or equal to one hundred twenty (120) days from the date of issuance of this Debenture, One Hundred Ten percent (110%) of the sum of the Principal Amount so redeemed plus accrued interest, if any; (iii) if the Redemption Date is greater than or equal to one hundred twenty one (121) days from the date of issuance of this Debenture and less than or equal to one hundred fifty (150) days from the date of issuance of this Debenture, One Hundred Twenty Five percent (125%) of the sum of the Principal Amount so redeemed plus accrued interest, if any; (iv) if the Redemption Date is greater than or equal to one hundred fifty one (151) days from the date of issuance of this Debenture and less than or equal to one hundred eighty (180) days from the date of issuance of this Debenture, One Hundred Thirty percent (130%) of the sum of the Principal Amount so redeemed plus accrued interest, if any; and (v) if either (1) the Debentures are in default but the Holder consents to the redemption notwithstanding such default or (2) the Redemption Date is greater than or equal to one hundred eighty one (181) days from the date of issuance of this Debenture, One Hundred Forty percent (140%) of the sum of the Principal Amount so redeemed plus accrued interest, if any. The date upon which the Debentures are redeemed and paid shall be referred to as the “Redemption Date” (and, in the case of multiple redemptions of less than the entire outstanding Principal Amount, each such date shall be a Redemption Date with respect to the corresponding redemption).

 

(ii) If fewer than all outstanding Debentures are to be redeemed and are held by different investors, then all Debentures shall be partially redeemed on a pro rata basis.

 

(iii) [Reserved]

 

(iv) On the Redemption Date, the Company shall cause the Holders whose Debentures have been presented for redemption to be issued payment of the Redemption Price. In the case of a partial redemption, the Company shall also issue new Debentures to the Holders for the Principal Amount remaining outstanding after the Redemption Date promptly after the Holders’ presentation of the Debentures called for redemption.

 

(v) To effect a redemption the Company shall provide a written notice to the Holder(s) not more than two (2) days prior to the Redemption Date (the “Redemption Notice”), setting forth the following:

 

  1. the Redemption Date;
     
  2. the Redemption Price;
     
  3. the aggregate Principal Amount of the Debentures being called for redemption;
     
  4. a statement instructing the Holders to surrender their Debentures for redemption and payment of the Redemption Price, including the name and address of the Company or, if applicable, the paying agent of the Company, where Debentures are to be surrendered for redemption;
     
  5. a statement advising the Holders that the Debentures (or, in the case of a partial redemption, that portion of the Principal Amount being called for redemption) as of the Redemption Date will cease to be convertible into Common Stock as of the Redemption Date; and
     
  6. in the case of a partial redemption, a statement advising the Holders that after the Redemption Date a substitute Debenture will be issued by the Company after deduction the portion thereof called for redemption, at no cost to the Holder, if the Holder so requests.

 

Notwithstanding the foregoing, in the event the Company issues a Redemption Notice but fails to fund the redemption on the Redemption Date, then such Redemption Notice shall be null and void, and (i) the Holder(s) shall be entitled to convert the Debentures previously the subject of the Redemption Notice, and (ii) the Company may not redeem such Debentures for at least thirty (30) days following the intended Redemption Date that was voided, and the Company shall be required to pay to the Holder(s) the Redemption Price simultaneously with the issuance of a Redemption Notice in connection with any subsequent redemption pursued by the Company.

 

3
 

 

3. Unless demand has otherwise been made by the Holder in writing for payment in cash as provided hereunder, and so long as no Event of Default shall exist (whether or not notice thereof has been delivered by the Holder to the Company), any Debentures not previously tendered to the Company for conversion as of the Maturity Date shall be deemed to have been surrendered for conversion, without further action of any kind by the Company or any of its agents, employees or representatives, as of the Maturity Date at the Conversion Price applicable on the Maturity Date (“Mandatory Conversion”).

 

4. No provision of this Debenture shall alter or impair the obligation of the Company, which is absolute and unconditional to convert this Debenture into Common Stock, at the time, place, and rate herein prescribed. This Debenture is a direct obligation of the Company.

 

5. If the Company (a) merges or consolidates with another corporation or business entity and the Company is not the surviving entity or (b) sells or transfers all or substantially all of its assets to another Person and the holders of the Common Stock are entitled to receive stock, securities or property in respect of or in exchange for Common Stock, then as a condition of such merger, consolidation, sale or transfer, the Company and any such successor, purchaser or transferee will agree that this Debenture may thereafter be converted on the terms and subject to the conditions set forth above into the kind and amount of stock, securities or property receivable upon such merger, consolidation, sale or transfer by a holder of the number of shares of Common Stock into which this Debenture might have been converted immediately before such merger, consolidation, sale or transfer, subject to adjustments which shall be as nearly equivalent as may be practicable. In the event of any (i) proposed merger or consolidation where the Company is not the surviving entity or (ii) sale or transfer of all or substantially all of the assets of the Company (in either such case, a “Sale”), the Holder shall have the right to convert by delivering a Notice of Conversion to the Company within fifteen (15) days of receipt of notice of such Sale from the Company.

 

6. If, at any time while any portion of this Debenture remains outstanding, the Company effectuates a stock split or reverse stock split of its Common Stock or issues a dividend on its Common Stock consisting of shares of Common Stock or otherwise recapitalizes its Common Stock, the Conversion Price shall be equitably adjusted to reflect such action. By way of illustration, and not in limitation, of the foregoing (i) if the Company effectuates a 2:1 split of its Common Stock, thereafter, with respect to any conversion for which the Company issues the shares after the record date of such split, the Conversion Price shall be deemed to be one-half of what it had been calculated to be immediately prior to such split; (ii) if the Company effectuates a 1:10 reverse split of its Common Stock, thereafter, with respect to any conversion for which the Company issues the shares after the record date of such reverse split, the Conversion Price shall be deemed to be the amount of such Conversion Price calculated immediately prior to the record date multiplied by 10; and (iii) if the Company declares a stock dividend of one share of Common Stock for every 10 shares outstanding, thereafter, with respect to any conversion for which the Company issues the shares after the record date of such dividend, the Conversion Price shall be deemed to be the amount of such Conversion Price calculated immediately prior to such record date multiplied by a fraction, of which the numerator is the number of shares for which a dividend share will be issued and the denominator is such number of shares plus the dividend share(s) issuable or issued thereon.

 

7. All payments contemplated hereby to be made “in cash” shall be made by wire transfer of immediately available funds in such coin or currency of the United States of America as at the time of payment is legal tender for payment of public and private debts. All payments of cash and each delivery of shares of Common Stock issuable to the Holder as contemplated hereby shall be made to the Holder to an account designated by the Holder to the Company and if the Holder has not designated any such accounts at the address last appearing on the Debenture Register of the Company as designated in writing by the Holder from time to time; except that the Holder may designate, by notice to the Company, a different delivery address for any one or more specific payments or deliveries.

 

8. The Holder of the Debenture, by acceptance hereof, agrees that this Debenture is being acquired for investment and that such Holder will not offer, sell or otherwise dispose of this Debenture or the Shares of Common Stock issuable upon conversion thereof except in compliance with the terms of the Securities Purchase Agreement and under circumstances which will not result in a violation of the Securities Act or any applicable state Blue Sky or foreign laws or similar laws relating to the sale of securities.

9. This Debenture shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of the State of Nevada. Each of the parties consents to the exclusive jurisdiction and venue of the state and/or federal courts located in Miami-Dade County, Florida in connection with any dispute arising under this Agreement, and each waives any objection based on forum non conveniens. This provision is intended to be a “mandatory” forum selection clause and governed by and interpreted consistent with Florida law (Nevada law governing all other, substantive matters). To the extent determined by such court, the Company shall reimburse the Holder for any reasonable legal fees and disbursements incurred by the Holder in enforcement of or protection of any of its rights under this Debenture or the Securities Purchase Agreement.

b. Any of the representations or warranties made by the Company herein, in the Securities Purchase Agreement or in any certificate or financial or other written statements heretofore or hereafter furnished by the Company to the Holder in connection with the issuance of this Debenture, shall be false or misleading (including without limitation by way of the misstatement of a material fact or the omission of a material fact) in any material respect at the time made (as to which no cure period shall apply); or

e. The Company fails to perform or observe, in any material respect (i) any other covenant, term, provision, condition, agreement or obligation set forth in the Debenture, (subject to a cure period of three (3) days other than in the case of a failure under Section 5 hereof, as to which no cure period shall apply), or (ii) any other covenant, term, provision, condition, agreement or obligation of the Company set forth in the Securities Purchase Agreement and such failure shall continue uncured for a period of either (1) three (3) days after the occurrence of the Company’s failure under Section 4(d), (e) (except as described in Section 10(c) hereof, as to which Section 10(c) hereof shall control), (f), (g) or (h) of the Securities Purchase Agreement, or (2) ten (10) days after the occurrence of the Company’s failure under any other provision of the Securities Purchase Agreement not otherwise specifically addressed in the Events of Default set forth in this Section 10; or

6
 

 

r. At any time while this Debenture is outstanding, the lowest traded price on the OTCP, OTCQB, or OTCQX, or other applicable principal trading market for the Common Stock, is equal to or less than $0.0001.

 

Then, or at any time thereafter, the Company shall immediately give written notice of the occurrence of such Event of Default to the Holders of all Debentures then outstanding, and in each and every such case, unless such Event of Default shall have been waived in writing by a majority in interest of the Holders of the Debentures (which waiver shall not be deemed to be a waiver of any subsequent default), then at the option of a majority in interest of the Holders and in the discretion of a majority in interest of the Holders, take any or all of the following actions: (i) pursue remedies against the Company in accordance with any of the Holder’s rights, (ii) increase the interest rate applicable to the Debentures to the lesser of eighteen percent (18%) per annum and the maximum interest rate allowable under applicable law, (iii) in the case of an Event of Default under Section 10(e)(ii)(1) based on the Company’s failure to be DWAC Operational, increase the Principal Amount to an amount equal to one hundred ten percent (110%) of the then-outstanding Principal Amount, (iv) in the case of an Event of Default under Section 10(d)(i), increase the Principal Amount to an amount equal to one hundred twenty percent (120%) of the then-outstanding Principal Amount and an additional ten percent (10%) discount shall be factored into the Conversion Price until this Debenture is no longer outstanding, (v) in the case of an Event of Default under Section 10(d)(i) through (v), increase the Principal Amount of the relevant Holder’s Debenture by One Thousand Dollars and 00/100 ($1,000.00) for each day the related failure continues, (vi) in the case of an Event of Default under Section 10(d)(ii) through (v) arising from an untimely delivery to the Holder of Conversion Shares or shares of Common Stock in de-legended form, if the traded price of the Common Stock on the Trading Day immediately prior to the actual date of delivery of Conversion Shares or de-legended shares, as the case may be, is less than the traded price on the Trading Day immediately prior to the date when Conversion Shares or de-legended shares were required to be delivered, increase the Principal Amount of the relevant Holder’s Debenture by an amount per share equal to such difference, and (vii) following the expiration of the applicable grace period (if any), at the option and discretion of the Holder, accelerate the full indebtedness under this Debenture, in an amount equal to one hundred forty percent (140%) of the outstanding Principal Amount and accrued and unpaid interest (the “Acceleration Amount”), whereupon the Acceleration Amount shall be immediately due and payable, without presentment, demand, protest or notice of any kinds, all of which are hereby expressly waived, anything contained herein, in the Securities Purchase Agreement or in any other note or instruments to the contrary notwithstanding. In the case of an Event of Default under Section 10(d)(ii), the Holder may either (i) declare the Acceleration Amount to exclude the Conversion Amount that is the subject of the Event of Default, in which case the Acceleration Amount shall be based on the remaining Principal Amount and accrued interest (if any), in which case the Company shall continue to be obligated to issue the Conversion Shares, or (ii) declare the Acceleration Amount to include the Conversion Amount that is the subject of the Event of Default, in which case the Acceleration Amount shall be based on the full Principal Amount, including the Conversion Amount, and accrued interest (if any), whereupon the Notice of Conversion shall be deemed withdrawn. At its option, the Holder may elect to convert the Debenture pursuant to Section 2 notwithstanding the prior declaration of a default and acceleration, in the sole discretion of such Holder. A majority in interest of the Holders may immediately enforce any and all of the Holder’s rights and remedies provided herein or any other rights or remedies afforded by applicable law. Notwithstanding the foregoing, in the case of a default under Section 10(d)(ii) through (iv), the Holder of the Debenture sought to be converted, transferred or de-legended, as the case may be, acting singly, shall have the sole and absolute discretion to increase the applicable interest rate on the Debentures held by such Holder and/or to accelerate the Debenture(s) held by such Holder. The Company expressly acknowledges and agrees that the Holder’s exercise of any or all of the remedies provided herein or under applicable law, including without limitation the increase(s) in the Principal Amount and the Acceleration Amount as may be declared in the case of a default, is reasonable and appropriate due to the inability to define the financial hardship that the Company’s default would impose on the Holders. To the extent that the Holder’s exercise of any of its remedies in the case of an Event of Default shall be construed to exceed the maximum interest rate allowable under applicable law, then such remedies shall be reduced to equal the maximum interest rate allowable under applicable law

 

11. Nothing contained in this Debenture shall be construed as conferring upon the Holder the right to vote or to receive dividends or to consent or receive notice as a shareholder in respect of any meeting of shareholders or any rights whatsoever as a shareholder of the Company, unless and to the extent converted in accordance with the terms hereof.

12. So long as this Debenture is outstanding, upon any issuance by the Company 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 Holder in this Debenture, then the Company shall notify the Holder of such additional or more favorable term and such term, at Holder’s option, shall become a part of the transaction documents with the Holder. 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, prepayment rate, conversion lookback periods, interest rates, original issue discounts, stock sale price, private placement price per share, and warrant coverage.

 

13. This Debenture may be amended only by the written consent of the parties hereto. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Principal Amount of this Debenture shall automatically be reduced by any and all Conversion Amounts (to the extent that the same relate to principal hereof). In the absence of manifest error, the outstanding Principal Amount of the Debenture on the Holder’s book and records shall be the correct amount.

 

14. In the event of any inconsistency between the provisions of this Debenture and the provisions of any other Transaction Document, the provisions of this Debenture shall prevail. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, in the event the Transfer Agent is not required to transfer any Common Stock, issue Conversion Shares or de-legended shares of Restricted Stock pursuant to the Transfer Agent Instruction Letter, this shall not operate as an excuse, extension or waiver of the Company’s obligation to issue and deliver Conversion Shares or de-legended Restricted Stock.

 

15. The Company specifically acknowledges and agrees that in the event of a breach or threatened breach by the Company of any provision hereof or of any other Transaction Document, the Holder will be irreparably damaged, and that damages at law would be an inadequate remedy if this Debenture or such other Transaction Document were not specifically enforced. Therefore, in the event of a breach or threatened breach by the Company, the Holder shall be entitled, in addition to all other rights and remedies, to an injunction restraining such breach, without being required to show any actual damage or to post any bond or other security, and/or to a decree for a specific performance of the provisions of this Debenture and the other Transaction Documents.

 

16. No waivers or consents in regard to any provision of this Debenture may be given other than by an instrument in writing signed by the Holder.

COMMON STOCK PURCHASE WARRANT

 

CIPHERLOC CORPORATION

 

Warrant Shares: 75,000

Date of Issuance: December 14, 2017 (“ Issuance Date ”)

 

This COMMON STOCK PURCHASE WARRANT (the “ Warrant ”) certifies that, for value received (in connection with the issuance of the $300,000.00 convertible debenture to the Holder (as defined below) of even date) (the “Note”), Peak One Opportunity Fund, LP, a Delaware limited partnership (including any permitted and registered assigns, the “ Holder ”), is entitled, upon the terms and subject to the limitations on exercise and the conditions hereinafter set forth, at any time on or after the date of issuance hereof, to purchase from Cipherloc Corporation, a Texas corporation (the “ Company ”), up to 75,000 shares of Common Stock (as defined below) (the “ Warrant Shares ”) (whereby such number may be adjusted from time to time pursuant to the terms and conditions of this Warrant) at the Exercise Price per share then in effect. This Warrant is issued by the Company as of the date hereof in connection with that certain securities purchase agreement dated December 14, by and among the Company and the Holder (the “ Purchase Agreement ”).

 

Capitalized terms used in this Warrant shall have the meanings set forth in the Purchase Agreement unless otherwise defined in the body of this Warrant or in Section 12 below. For purposes of this Warrant, the term “ Exercise Price ” shall mean $2.00, subject to adjustment as provided herein (including but not limited to cashless exercise), and the term “ Exercise Period ” shall mean the period commencing on the Issuance Date and ending on 5:00 p.m. eastern standard time on the five-year anniversary thereof.

 

1. EXERCISE OF WARRANT .

 

(a) Mechanics of Exercise . Subject to the terms and conditions hereof, the rights represented by this Warrant may be exercised in whole or in part at any time or times during the Exercise Period by delivery of a written notice, in the form attached hereto as Exhibit A (the “ Exercise Notice ”), of the Holder’s election to exercise this Warrant. The Holder shall not be required to deliver the original Warrant in order to effect an exercise hereunder. Partial exercises of this Warrant resulting in purchases of a portion of the total number of Warrant Shares available hereunder shall have the effect of lowering the outstanding number of Warrant Shares purchasable hereunder in an amount equal to the applicable number of Warrant Shares purchased. On or before the third Trading Day (the “ Warrant Share Delivery Date ”) following the date on which the Company shall have received the Exercise Notice, and upon receipt by the Company of payment to the Company of an amount equal to the applicable Exercise Price multiplied by the number of Warrant Shares as to which all or a portion of this Warrant is being exercised (the “ Aggregate Exercise Price ” and together with the Exercise Notice, the “ Exercise Delivery Documents ”) in cash or by wire transfer of immediately available funds (or by cashless exercise, in which case there shall be no Aggregate Exercise Price provided), the Company shall (or direct its transfer agent to) issue and dispatch by overnight courier to the address as specified in the Exercise Notice, a certificate, registered in the Company’s share register in the name of the Holder or its designee, for the number of shares of Common Stock to which the Holder is entitled pursuant to such exercise. Upon delivery of the Exercise Delivery Documents, the Holder shall be deemed for all corporate purposes to have become the holder of record of the Warrant Shares with respect to which this Warrant has been exercised, irrespective of the date of delivery of the certificates evidencing such Warrant Shares. If this Warrant is submitted in connection with any exercise and the number of Warrant Shares represented by this Warrant submitted for exercise is greater than the number of Warrant Shares being acquired upon an exercise, then the Company shall as soon as practicable and in no event later than three Business Days after any exercise and at its own expense, issue a new Warrant (in accordance with Section 6) representing the right to purchase the number of Warrant Shares purchasable immediately prior to such exercise under this Warrant, less the number of Warrant Shares with respect to which this Warrant is exercised.

 

 
 

 

If the Company fails to cause its transfer agent to transmit to the Holder the respective shares of Common Stock by the respective Warrant Share Delivery Date, then the Holder will have the right to rescind such exercise in Holder’s sole discretion, and such failure shall be deemed an event of default under the Note.

 

If the Market Price of one share of Common Stock is greater than the Exercise Price, the Holder may elect to receive Warrant Shares pursuant to a cashless exercise, in lieu of a cash exercise, equal to the value of this Warrant determined in the manner described below (or of any portion thereof remaining unexercised) by surrender of this Warrant and a Notice of Exercise, in which event the Company shall issue to Holder a number of Common Stock computed using the following formula:

 

X = Y (A-B)

   A

 

  Where X = the number of Shares to be issued to Holder.
       
    Y = the number of Warrant Shares that the Holder elects to purchase under this Warrant (at the date of such calculation).
       
    A = the Market Price (at the date of such calculation).
       
    B = Exercise Price (as adjusted to the date of such calculation).

 

(b) No Fractional Shares . No fractional shares shall be issued upon the exercise of this Warrant as a consequence of any adjustment pursuant hereto. All Warrant Shares (including fractions) issuable upon exercise of this Warrant may be aggregated for purposes of determining whether the exercise would result in the issuance of any fractional share. If, after aggregation, the exercise would result in the issuance of a fractional share, the Company shall, in lieu of issuance of any fractional share, pay the Holder otherwise entitled to such fraction a sum in cash equal to the product resulting from multiplying the then-current fair market value of a Warrant Share by such fraction.

 

(c) Holder’s Exercise Limitations . The Company shall not effect any exercise of this Warrant, and a Holder shall not have the right to exercise any portion of this Warrant, to the extent that after giving effect to issuance of Warrant Shares upon exercise as set forth on the applicable Notice of Exercise, the Holder (together with the Holder’s Affiliates, and any other persons acting as a group together with the Holder or any of the Holder’s Affiliates), would beneficially own in excess of the Beneficial Ownership Limitation, as defined below. For purposes of the foregoing sentence, the number of shares of Common Stock beneficially owned by the Holder and its Affiliates shall include the number of shares of Common Stock issuable upon exercise of this Warrant with respect to which such determination is being made, but shall exclude the number of shares of Common Stock which would be issuable upon (i) exercise of the remaining, non-exercised portion of this Warrant beneficially owned by the Holder or any of its Affiliates and (ii) exercise or conversion of the unexercised or non-converted portion of any other securities of the Company (including without limitation any other Common Stock Equivalents) subject to a limitation on conversion or exercise analogous to the limitation contained herein beneficially owned by the Holder or any of its Affiliates. Except as set forth in the preceding sentence, for purposes of this paragraph (d), beneficial ownership shall be calculated in accordance with Section 13(d) of the Exchange Act, it being acknowledged by the Holder that the Company is not representing to the Holder that such calculation is in compliance with Section 13(d) of the Exchange Act and the Holder is solely responsible for any schedules required to be filed in accordance therewith. To the extent that the limitation contained in this paragraph applies, the determination of whether this Warrant is exercisable (in relation to other securities owned by the Holder together with any affiliates) and of which portion of this Warrant is exercisable shall be in the sole discretion of the Holder, and the submission of a Notice of Exercise shall be deemed to be the Holder’s determination of whether this Warrant is exercisable (in relation to other securities owned by the Holder together with any Affiliates) and of which portion of this Warrant is exercisable, in each case subject to the Beneficial Ownership Limitation, and the Company shall have no obligation to verify or confirm the accuracy of such determination.

 

2
 

 

For purposes of this paragraph, in determining the number of outstanding shares of Common Stock, a Holder may rely on the number of outstanding shares of Common Stock as reflected in (A) the Company’s most recent periodic or annual report filed with the Commission, as the case may be, (B) a more recent public announcement by the Company or (C) a more recent written notice by the Company or its transfer agent setting forth the number of shares of Common Stock outstanding. Upon the request of a Holder, the Company shall within two Trading Days confirm to the Holder the number of shares of Common Stock then outstanding. In any case, the number of outstanding shares of Common Stock shall be determined after giving effect to the conversion or exercise of securities of the Company, including this Warrant, by the Holder or its affiliates since the date as of which such number of outstanding shares of Common Stock was reported. The “ Beneficial Ownership Limitation ” shall be 4.99% of the number of shares of the Common Stock outstanding immediately after giving effect to the issuance of shares of Common Stock issuable upon exercise of this Warrant. Upon no fewer than 61 days’ prior notice to the Company, a Holder may increase or decrease the Beneficial Ownership Limitation provisions of this paragraph, provided that the Beneficial Ownership Limitation in no event exceeds 9.99% of the number of shares of the Common Stock outstanding immediately after giving effect to the issuance of shares of Common Stock upon exercise of this Warrant held by the Holder and the provisions of this paragraph shall continue to apply. Any such increase or decrease will not be effective until the 61st day after such notice is delivered to the Company and shall only apply to such Holder and no other Holder. The limitations contained in this paragraph shall apply to a successor Holder of this Warrant.

 

2. ADJUSTMENTS . The Exercise Price and the number of Warrant Shares shall be adjusted from time to time as follows:

 

(a) Distribution of Assets . If the Company shall declare or make any dividend or other distribution of its assets (or rights to acquire its assets) to holders of shares of Common Stock, by way of return of capital or otherwise (including without limitation any distribution of cash, stock or other securities, property or options by way of a dividend, spin off, reclassification, corporate rearrangement or other similar transaction) (a “ Distribution ”), at any time after the issuance of this Warrant, then, in each such case:

 

(i) any Exercise Price in effect immediately prior to the close of business on the record date fixed for the determination of holders of shares of Common Stock entitled to receive the Distribution shall be reduced, effective as of the close of business on such record date, to a price determined by multiplying such Exercise Price by a fraction (i) the numerator of which shall be the Closing Sale Price of the shares of Common Stock on the Trading Day immediately preceding such record date minus the value of the Distribution (as determined in good faith by the Company’s Board of Directors) applicable to one share of Common Stock, and (ii) the denominator of which shall be the Closing Sale Price of the shares of Common Stock on the Trading Day immediately preceding such record date; and

 

(ii) the number of Warrant Shares shall be increased to a number of shares equal to the number of shares of Common Stock obtainable immediately prior to the close of business on the record date fixed for the determination of holders of shares of Common Stock entitled to receive the Distribution multiplied by the reciprocal of the fraction set forth in the immediately preceding clause (i); provided, however, that in the event that the Distribution is of shares of common stock of a company (other than the Company) whose common stock is traded on a national securities exchange or a national automated quotation system (“ Other Shares of Common Stock ”), then the Holder may elect to receive a warrant to purchase Other Shares of Common Stock in lieu of an increase in the number of Warrant Shares, the terms of which shall be identical to those of this Warrant, except that such warrant shall be exercisable into the number of shares of Other Shares of Common Stock that would have been payable to the Holder pursuant to the Distribution had the Holder exercised this Warrant immediately prior to such record date and with an aggregate exercise price equal to the product of the amount by which the exercise price of this Warrant was decreased with respect to the Distribution pursuant to the terms of the immediately preceding clause (i) and the number of Warrant Shares calculated in accordance with the first part of this clause (ii).

(b) Anti-Dilution Adjustments to Exercise Price . If the Company or any Subsidiary thereof, as applicable, at any time while this Warrant is outstanding, shall sell or grant any option to purchase, or sell or grant any right to reprice, or otherwise dispose of or issue (or announce any offer, sale, grant or any option to purchase or other disposition) any Common Stock or securities entitling any person or entity to acquire shares of Common Stock (upon conversion, exercise or otherwise) (including but not limited to under the Debenture), at an effective price per share less than the then Exercise Price (such lower price, the “ Base Share Price ” and such issuances collectively, a “ Dilutive Issuance ”) (if the holder of the Common Stock or Common Stock Equivalents so issued shall at any time, whether by operation of purchase price adjustments, reset provisions, floating conversion, exercise or exchange prices or otherwise, or due to warrants, options or rights per share which are issued in connection with such issuance, be entitled to receive shares of Common Stock at an effective price per share which is less than the Exercise Price, such issuance shall be deemed to have occurred for less than the Exercise Price on such date of the Dilutive Issuance), then the Exercise Price shall be reduced at the option of the Holder and only reduced to equal the Base Share Price, and the number of Warrant Shares issuable hereunder shall be increased such that the aggregate Exercise Price payable hereunder, after taking into account the decrease in the Exercise Price, shall be equal to the aggregate Exercise Price prior to such adjustment. Such adjustment shall be made whenever such Common Stock or Common Stock Equivalents are issued. The Company shall notify the Holder in writing, no later than the Trading Day following the issuance of any Common Stock or Common Stock Equivalents subject to this Section 2(b), indicating therein the applicable issuance price, or applicable reset price, exchange price, conversion price and other pricing terms (such notice the “ Dilutive Issuance Notice ”). For purposes of clarification, whether or not the Company provides a Dilutive Issuance Notice pursuant to this Section 2(b), upon the occurrence of any Dilutive Issuance, after the date of such Dilutive Issuance the Holder is entitled to receive a number of Warrant Shares based upon the Base Share Price regardless of whether the Holder accurately refers to the Base Share Price in the Notice of Exercise.

 

3. FUNDAMENTAL TRANSACTIONS . If, at any time while this Warrant is outstanding, (i) the Company effects any merger of the Company with or into another entity and the Company is not the surviving entity (such surviving entity, the “ Successor Entity ”), (ii) the Company effects any sale of all or substantially all of its assets in one or a series of related transactions, (iii) any tender offer or exchange offer (whether by the Company or by another individual or entity, and approved by the Company) is completed pursuant to which holders of Common Stock are permitted to tender or exchange their shares of Common Stock for other securities, cash or property and the holders of at least 50% of the Common Stock accept such offer, or (iv) the Company effects any reclassification of the Common Stock or any compulsory share exchange pursuant to which the Common Stock is effectively converted into or exchanged for other securities, cash or property (other than as a result of a subdivision or combination of shares of Common Stock) (in any such case, a “ Fundamental Transaction ”), then, upon any subsequent exercise of this Warrant, the Holder shall have the right to receive the number of shares of Common Stock of the Successor Entity or of the Company and any additional consideration (the “ Alternate Consideration ”) receivable upon or as a result of such reorganization, reclassification, merger, consolidation or disposition of assets by a holder of the number of shares of Common Stock for which this Warrant is exercisable immediately prior to such event (disregarding any limitation on exercise contained herein solely for the purpose of such determination). For purposes of any such exercise, the determination of the Exercise Price shall be appropriately adjusted to apply to such Alternate Consideration based on the amount of Alternate Consideration issuable in respect of one share of Common Stock in such Fundamental Transaction, and the Company shall apportion the Exercise Price among the Alternate Consideration in a reasonable manner reflecting the relative value of any different components of the Alternate Consideration. If holders of Common Stock are given any choice as to the securities, cash or property to be received in a Fundamental Transaction, then the Holder shall be given the same choice as to the Alternate Consideration it receives upon any exercise of this Warrant following such Fundamental Transaction. To the extent necessary to effectuate the foregoing provisions, any Successor Entity in such Fundamental Transaction shall issue to the Holder a new warrant consistent with the foregoing provisions and evidencing the Holder’s right to exercise such warrant into Alternate Consideration.

 

4. NON-CIRCUMVENTION . The Company covenants and agrees that it will not, by amendment of its certificate of incorporation, bylaws or through any reorganization, transfer of assets, consolidation, merger, scheme of arrangement, dissolution, issue or sale of securities, or any other voluntary action, avoid or seek to avoid the observance or performance of any of the terms of this Warrant, and will at all times in good faith carry out all the provisions of this Warrant and take all action as may be required to protect the rights of the Holder. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the Company (i) shall not increase the par value of any shares of Common Stock receivable upon the exercise of this Warrant above the Exercise Price then in effect, (ii) shall take all such actions as may be necessary or appropriate in order that the Company may validly and legally issue fully paid and non-assessable shares of Common Stock upon the exercise of this Warrant, and (iii) shall, for so long as this Warrant is outstanding, have authorized and reserved, free from preemptive rights, ten (10) times the number of shares of Common Stock into which the Warrants are then exercisable into to provide for the exercise of the rights represented by this Warrant (without regard to any limitations on exercise).

 

4
 

 

5. WARRANT HOLDER NOT DEEMED A STOCKHOLDER . Except as otherwise specifically provided herein, this Warrant, in and of itself, shall not entitle the Holder to any voting rights or other rights as a stockholder of the Company. In addition, nothing contained in this Warrant shall be construed as imposing any liabilities on the Holder to purchase any securities (upon exercise of this Warrant or otherwise) or as a stockholder of the Company, whether such liabilities are asserted by the Company or by creditors of the Company.

 

6. REISSUANCE .

 

(a) Lost, Stolen or Mutilated Warrant . If this Warrant is lost, stolen, mutilated or destroyed, the Company will, on such terms as to indemnity or otherwise as it may reasonably impose (which shall, in the case of a mutilated Warrant, include the surrender thereof), issue a new Warrant of like denomination and tenor as this Warrant so lost, stolen, mutilated or destroyed.

 

(b) Issuance of New Warrants . Whenever the Company is required to issue a new Warrant pursuant to the terms of this Warrant, such new Warrant shall be of like tenor with this Warrant, and shall have an issuance date, as indicated on the face of such new Warrant which is the same as the Issuance Date.

 

7. TRANSFER .

 

(a) Notice of Transfer . The Holder agrees to give written notice to the Company before transferring this Warrant or transferring any Warrant Shares of such Holder’s intention to do so, describing briefly the manner of any proposed transfer. Promptly upon receiving such written notice, the Company shall present copies thereof to the Company’s counsel. If the proposed transfer may be effected without registration or qualification (under any federal or state securities laws), the Company, as promptly as practicable, shall notify the Holder thereof, whereupon the Holder shall be entitled to transfer this Warrant or to dispose of Warrant Shares received upon the previous exercise of this Warrant, all in accordance with the terms of the notice delivered by the Holder to the Company; provided, however, that an appropriate legend may be endorsed on this Warrant or the certificates for such Warrant Shares respecting restrictions upon transfer thereof necessary or advisable in the opinion of counsel and satisfactory to the Company to prevent further transfers which would be in violation of Section 5 of the Securities Act and applicable state securities laws; and provided further that the prospective transferee or purchaser shall execute the Assignment of Warrant attached hereto as Exhibit B and such other documents and make such representations, warranties, and agreements as may be required solely to comply with the exemptions relied upon by the Company for the transfer or disposition of the Warrant or Warrant Shares.

 

(b) If the proposed transfer or disposition of this Warrant or such Warrant Shares described in the written notice given pursuant to this Section 7 may not be effected without registration or qualification of this Warrant or such Warrant Shares, the Holder will limit its activities in respect to such transfer or disposition as are permitted by law.

 

(c) Any transferee of all or a portion of this Warrant shall succeed to the rights and benefits of the initial Holder of this Warrant.

 

8. NOTICES . Whenever notice is required to be given under this Warrant, unless otherwise provided herein, such notice shall be given in accordance with the notice provisions contained in the Purchase Agreement. The Company shall provide the Holder with prompt written notice (i) immediately upon any adjustment of the Exercise Price, setting forth in reasonable detail, the calculation of such adjustment and (ii) at least 20 days prior to the date on which the Company closes its books or takes a record (A) with respect to any dividend or distribution upon the shares of Common Stock, (B) with respect to any grants, issuances or sales of any stock or other securities directly or indirectly convertible into or exercisable or exchangeable for shares of Common Stock or other property, pro rata to the holders of shares of Common Stock or (C) for determining rights to vote with respect to any Fundamental Transaction, dissolution or liquidation, provided in each case that such information shall be made known to the public prior to or in conjunction with such notice being provided to the Holder.

Upon the written request of Buyer made within thirty (30) days after the receipt of any such notice (which request shall specify the Registrable Securities intended to be disposed of by Buyer and the intended method of disposition thereof), the Company shall, at its sole cost and expense, use its best efforts to effect the registration of all Registrable Securities which the Company has been so requested to register Buyer, to the extent requisite to permit the disposition (in accordance with the intended methods of disposition) of the Registrable Securities by Buyer, by inclusion of such Registrable Securities in the Registration Statement which covers the securities which the Company proposes to register; provided, that if the Company is unable to register the full amount of Registrable Securities in an “at the market offering” under SEC rules and regulations due to the high percentage of the Company’s Common Stock the Registrable Securities represents (giving effect to all other securities being registered in the Registration Statement), then the Company may reduce, on a pro rata basis, the amount of Registrable Securities subject to the Registration Statement to a lesser amount which equals the maximum number of Registrable Securities that the Company is permitted to register in an “at the market offering”; and provided, further, that if, at any time after giving written notice of its intention to register any Registrable Securities and prior to the effective date of the Registration Statement filed in connection with such registration, the Company shall determine for any reason either not to register or to delay registration of such Registrable Securities, the Company may, at its election, give written notice of such determination to Investments and/or the Buyer and, thereupon, (i) in the case of a determination not to register, the Company shall be relieved of its obligation to register any Registrable Securities in connection with such registration (but not from its obligation to pay the expenses of registration in connection therewith), and (ii) in the case of a determination to delay registering such Registrable Securities, shall be permitted to delay registering any Registrable Securities, for the same period as the delay in registering such other securities. If Buyer shall have transferred all or part of its Registrable Securities, then for purposes of this Section, the term “Buyer” shall reference Buyer and/or such transferee(s).

d. Securities Filings. The Company undertakes and agrees to make all necessary filings (including, without limitation, a Form D) in connection with the sale of the Securities to the Buyer required under any United States laws and regulations applicable to the Company (including without limitation state “blue sky” laws), or by any domestic securities exchange or trading market, and to provide a copy thereof to the Buyer promptly after such filing.

 

e. Reporting Status; Public Trading Market; DTC Eligibility. So long as the Buyer beneficially own any Securities, (i) the Company shall timely file, prior to or on the date when due, all reports that would be required to be filed with the SEC pursuant to Section 13 or 15(d) of the Exchange Act if the Company had securities registered under Section 12(b) or 12(g) of the Exchange Act; (ii) the Company shall not be operated as, or report, to the SEC or any other Person, that the Company is a “shell company” or indicate to the contrary to the SEC or any other Person; (iii) the Company shall take all other action under its control necessary to ensure the availability of Rule 144 under the 1933 Act for the sale of Shares by the Buyer at the earliest possible date; and (iv) the Company shall at all times while any Securities are outstanding maintain its engagement of an independent registered public accounting firm. Except as otherwise set forth in Transaction Documents, the Company shall take all action under its control necessary to obtain and to continue the listing and trading of its Common Stock (including, without limitation, all Registrable Securities) on the OTC Markets, Inc. (“OTCM”) on the OTC Pink (“OTCP”), OTCQB (“OTCQB”), or OTCQX (“OTCQX”), and will comply in all material respects with the Company’s reporting, filing and other obligations under the by-laws or rules of the Financial Industry Regulatory Authority (“FINRA”). If, so long as the Buyer beneficially own any of the Securities, the Company receives any written notice from the OTCM, FINRA, or the SEC with respect to either any alleged deficiency in the Company’s compliance with applicable rules and regulations (including without limitation any comments from the SEC on any of the Company’s documents filed (or the failure to have made any such filing) under the 1933 Act or the Exchange Act) (each, a “Regulatory Notice”), then the Company shall promptly, and in any event within two (2) business days, provide copies of the Regulatory Notice to the Buyer, and shall promptly, and in any event within five (5) business days of receipt of the Regulatory Notice (a “Regulatory Response”), respond in writing to the OTCM, FIRNA and/or SEC (as the case may be), setting forth the Company’s explanation and/or response to the issues raised in the Regulatory Notice, with a view towards maintaining and/or regaining full compliance with the applicable rules and regulations of the OTCM, FIRNA and/or SEC and maintaining or regaining good standing of the Company with the OTCM, FINRA and/or SEC, as the case may be, the intent being to ensure that the Company maintain its reporting company status with the SEC and that its Common Stock be and remain available for trading on the OTCP, OTCQB, or OTCQX. Further, at all times while any Securities are outstanding, the Common Stock shall be DWAC Operational, and the Common Stock shall not be subject to any DTC “chill” designation or similar restriction on the clearing of the Common Stock through DTC.

 

10
 

 

f. Use of Proceeds. The Company shall use the proceeds from the sale of the Debentures for working capital purposes only subject to customary restrictions. Absent the prior written approval of a majority of the principal amount of the Debentures then outstanding, the Company shall not use any portion of the proceeds of the sale of the Debentures to (i) repay any indebtedness or other obligation of the Company incurred prior to the date of this Agreement outside the normal course of business, (ii) pay any dividends or redemption amount on any of the Company’s equity or equity equivalents, (iii) pay any amounts, whether on account of debt obligations of the Company or otherwise, except for compensation, to any officer, director or other related party of the Company or (iv) pay deferred compensation or any compensation to any of the directors or officers of the Company in excess of the rate or amount paid or accrued during the fiscal year ended September, 2016 (as base compensation and excluding any discretionary amounts), other than modest increases consistent with prior practice that are approved by the Company’s Board of Directors.

 

g. Available Shares. Commencing on the date of execution and delivery of this Agreement, the Company shall have and maintain authorized and reserved for issuance, free from preemptive rights, that number of shares equal to Seven Hundred percent (700%) of the number of shares of Common Stock (1) issuable based upon the conversion of the then-outstanding Debentures (including accrued interest thereon) as may be required to satisfy the conversion rights of the Buyer pursuant to the terms and conditions of the Debenture (for the avoidance of doubt, this shall be calculated based on the applicable conversion price that would result on or after the date that is 180 days after the issuance date of the respective Debenture(s) regardless of the date of calculation) (without giving effect to the 4.99% limitation on ownership as set forth in the Debentures), provided, however that for purposes of the foregoing calculation, the full indebtedness under the Debentures shall be deemed immediately convertible and (2) issuable to the Buyer on future Closing Dates, based upon the lowest closing bid price per share of the Common Stock on the date before the most recent Closing Date (as reported by Bloomberg LP) (collectively in the aggregate the “Required Reserve Amount”). The Company shall monitor its compliance with the foregoing requirements on an ongoing basis. If at any time the Company does not have available an amount of authorized and non-issued Shares required to be reserved pursuant to this Section, then the Company shall, without notice or demand by the Buyer, call within thirty (30) days of such occurrence and hold within sixty (60) days of such occurrence a special meeting of shareholders, for the sole purpose of increasing the number of shares authorized. Management of the Company shall recommend to shareholders to vote in favor of increasing the number of Common Stock authorized at the meeting. Members of the Company’s management shall also vote all of their own shares in favor of increasing the number of Common Stock authorized at the meeting. If the increase in authorized shares is approved by the stockholders at the meeting, the Company shall implement the increase in authorized shares within one (1) business day following approval at such meeting. Alternatively, to the extent permitted by applicable law, in lieu of calling and holding a meeting as described above, the Company may, within thirty (30) days of the date when the Company does not have available an amount of authorized and non-issued Shares required to be reserved as described above, procure the written consent of stockholders to increase the number of shares authorized, and provide the stockholders with notice thereof as may be required under applicable law (including without limitation Section 14(c) of the Exchange Act and Regulation 14C thereunder). Upon obtaining stockholder approval as aforesaid, the Company shall cause the appropriate increase in its authorized shares of Common Stock within one (1) business day (or as soon thereafter as permitted by applicable law). Company’s failure to comply with these provisions will be an Event of Default (as defined in the Debentures).

 

h. Reimbursement. If (i) Buyer and/or Investments becomes a party defendant in any capacity in any action or proceeding brought by any stockholder of the Company, in connection with or as a result of the consummation of the transactions contemplated by the Transaction Documents, or if the Buyer and/or Investments is impleaded in any such action, proceeding or investigation by any Person, or (ii) the Buyer and/or Investments, other than by reason of its own gross negligence, willful misconduct or breach of law (as adjudicated by a court of law having proper jurisdiction and such adjudication is not subject to appeal), becomes a party defendant in any capacity in any action or proceeding brought by the SEC against or involving the Company or in connection with or as a result of the consummation of the transactions contemplated by the Transaction Documents, or if the Buyer or Investments is impleaded in any such action, proceeding or investigation by any Person, then in any such case, the Company shall promptly reimburse the Buyer and/or Investments for its or their reasonable legal and other expenses (including the cost of any investigation and preparation) incurred in connection therewith. The reimbursement obligations of the Company under this paragraph shall be in addition to any liability which the Company may otherwise have, shall extend upon the same terms and conditions to any affiliates of the Buyer and/or Investments who are actually named in such action, proceeding or investigation, and partners, directors, agents, employees and controlling Persons (if any), as the case may be, of the Buyer, Investments and any such Affiliate, and shall be binding upon and inure to the benefit of any successors, assigns, heirs and personal representatives of the Company, the Buyer, Investments and any such Affiliate and any such Person. Except as otherwise set forth in the Transaction Documents, the Company also agrees that neither any Buyer, Investments nor any such Affiliate, partners, directors, agents, employees or controlling Persons shall have any liability to the Company or any Person asserting claims on behalf of or in right of the Company in connection with or as a result of the consummation of the Transaction Documents.

 

11
 

 

i. The Company shall provide the Transfer Agent and/or the Buyer, Investments or their respective brokerage and/or clearing firm with all relevant legal opinions and other documentation requested by the Buyer or Investments in connection with the issuance of the Conversion Shares or the Restricted Stock, or the sale thereof, to confirm the share issuance(s) such that the Conversion Shares and/or Restricted Stock may be deposited with the applicable brokerage and/or clearing firm.

 

j. No Payments to Affiliates or Related Parties. So long as any of the Debentures remain outstanding, if the Debentures are in default, the Company shall not, absent the prior written consent of the holders of all Debentures then outstanding, make any payments to any of the Company’s or the Subsidiaries’ respective affiliates or related parties, including without limitation payments or prepayments of principal or interest accrued on any indebtedness or obligation in favor of affiliates or related parties. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, the provisions of this Section 4(j) shall not apply to payments to the Subsidiaries, or other businesses in which affiliates have an interest, made in the ordinary course of business and consistent with past practice as disclosed in the SEC Documents .

 

k. Notice of Material Adverse Effect. The Company shall notify the Buyer (and any subsequent holder of the Debentures), as soon as practicable and in no event later than three (3) business days of the Company’s knowledge of any Material Adverse Effect on the Company. For purposes of the foregoing, “knowledge” means the earlier of the Company’s actual knowledge or the Company’s constructive knowledge upon due inquiry.

 

l. Public Disclosure. Except to the extent required by applicable law, absent the Buyer’s prior written consent, the Company shall not reference the name of the Buyer in any press release, securities disclosure, business plan, marketing or funding proposal.

 

m. Nature of Transaction; Savings Clause. It is the parties’ express understanding and agreement that the transactions contemplated by the Transaction Documents constitute an investment and not a loan. If nonetheless such transactions are deemed to be a loan (as adjudicated by a court of law having proper jurisdiction and such adjudication is not subject to appeal), the Company shall not be obligated or required to pay interest at a rate that could subject Buyer to either civil or criminal liability as a result of such rate exceeding the maximum rate that the Buyer is permitted to charge under applicable law, and the Company’s obligations under the Transaction Documents shall not be void or voidable on the basis of the Buyer’s lack of any license or registration as a lender with any governmental authority. It is expressly understood and agreed by the parties that neither the amounts payable pursuant to Section 12, any redemption premium, remedy upon an Event of Default (as defined in the Debentures) or any Acceleration Amount (as defined in the Debentures), original issue discount nor any investment returns of the Buyer on the sale of the Debentures or the sale of any Conversion Shares (whether unrealized or realized) shall be construed as interest. If, by the terms of the Debentures, any other Transaction Document or any other instrument, Buyer is at any time required or obligated to pay interest at a rate exceeding such maximum rate, interest payable under the Debenture and/or such other Transaction Documents or other instrument shall be computed (or recomputed) at such maximum rate, and the portion of all prior interest payments (if any) exceeding such maximum shall be applied to payment of the outstanding principal of the Debentures.

5. TRANSFER AGENT INSTRUCTIONS.

 

a. Transfer Agent Instruction Letter. On or before the Signing Closing Date, the Company shall irrevocably instruct its Transfer Agent in writing using the letter substantially in the form of Exhibit B annexed hereto, with only such modifications as the Buyer agrees to, executed by the Company, the Buyer and the Transfer Agent (the “Transfer Agent Instruction Letter”), to (i) reserve that number of shares of Common Stock as is required under Section 4(g) hereof, and (ii) issue Common Stock from time to time upon conversion of the Debentures in such amounts as specified from time to time by the Buyer to the Transfer Agent in a Notice of Conversion, in such denominations to be specified by the Buyer in connection with each conversion of the Debentures. The Transfer Agent shall not be restricted from issuing shares from only the allotment reserved hereunder for the Conversion Amount (as defined in the Debentures), but instead may, to the extent necessary to satisfy the amount of shares issuable upon conversion, issue shares above and beyond the amount reserved on account of the Conversion Amount, without any additional instructions or authorization from the Company, and the Company shall not provide the Transfer Agent with any instructions or documentation contrary to the foregoing. As of the date of this Agreement, the Transfer Agent is Pacific Stock Transfer Co.. The Company shall at all times while any Debentures are outstanding engage a Transfer Agent which is a party to the Transfer Agent Instruction Letter. If for any reason the Company’s Transfer Agent is not a signatory of the Transfer Agent Instruction Letter while any Debentures or Restricted Stock are outstanding and held by the Buyer, then such Transfer Agent shall nonetheless be deemed bound by the Transfer Agent Instruction Letter, and the Company shall neither (i) permit the Transfer Agent to disclaim, disregard or refuse to abide by the Transfer Agent’s obligations, terms and agreements set forth in the Transfer Agent Instruction Letter, nor (ii) issue any instructions to the Transfer Agent contrary to the obligations, terms and agreements set forth in the Transfer Agent Instruction Letter . The Company shall not terminate the Transfer Agent or otherwise change Transfer Agents without at least fifteen (15) days prior written notice to the Buyer and with the Buyer’s prior written consent to such change, which the Buyer may grant or withhold in its sole discretion. The Company shall continuously monitor its compliance with the share reservation requirements and, if and to the extent necessary to increase the number of reserved shares to remain and be at least the Required Reserve Amount to account for any decrease in the Market Price of the Common Stock, the Company shall immediately (and in any event within one (1) business day) notify the Transfer Agent in writing of the reservation of such additional shares, provided that in the event that the number of shares reserved for conversion of the Debentures is less than the Required Reserve Amount, the Buyer may also directly instruct the Transfer Agent to increase the reserved shares as necessary to satisfy the minimum reserved share requirement, and the Transfer Agent shall act accordingly, provided, further, that the Company shall within one (1) business day provide any written confirmation, assent or documentation thereof as the Transfer Agent may request to act upon a share increase instruction delivered by the Buyer. The Company shall provide the Buyer with a copy of all written instructions to the Company’s Transfer Agent with respect to the reservation of shares simultaneously with the issuance of such instructions to the Transfer Agent. The Company covenants that no instruction other than such instructions referred to in this Section 5 and stop transfer instructions to give effect to Section 4(a) hereof prior to registration and sale of the Conversion Shares under the 1933 Act will be given by the Company to the Transfer Agent and that the Conversion Shares shall otherwise be freely transferable on the books and records of the Company as and to the extent provided in this Agreement and applicable law. If the Buyer provides the Company and/or the Transfer Agent with an opinion of counsel reasonably satisfactory to the Company that registration of a resale by the Buyer of any of the Securities in accordance with clause (1)(B) of Section 4(a) of this Agreement is not required under the 1933 Act, the Company shall (except as provided in clause (2) of Section 4(a) of this Agreement) permit the de-legending or transfer of the Securities and, in the case of the Conversion Shares, instruct the Company’s Transfer Agent to issue one or more certificates for Common Stock without legend in such name and in such denominations as specified by the Buyer.

 

b. Conversion. (i) The Company shall permit the Buyer to exercise the right to convert the Debentures by faxing, emailing or delivering overnight an executed and completed Notice of Conversion to the Company or the Transfer Agent. If so requested by the Buyer or the Transfer Agent, the Company shall within one (1) business day respond with its endorsement so as to confirm the outstanding principal amount of any Debenture submitted for conversion or shall reconcile any difference with the Buyer promptly after receiving such Notice of Conversion.

 

(ii) The term “Conversion Date” means, with respect to any conversion elected by the holder of the Debentures, the date specified in the Notice of Conversion, provided the copy of the Notice of Conversion is given either via mail or facsimile to or otherwise delivered to the Transfer Agent and/or the Company in accordance with the provisions hereof so that it is received by the Transfer Agent and/or the Company on or before such specified date.

 

13
 

 

(iii) The Company shall deliver (or will cause the Transfer Agent to deliver) the Conversion Shares issuable upon conversion as follows: (1) if the Company is then DWAC Operational, via DWAC, (2) if the Common Stock is then eligible for the Depository Trust Company’s Direct Registration System (“DRS”), if so requested by the Buyer, or (3) if the Company is not then DWAC Operational or the Common Stock is not then eligible for DRS, in certificated form, to the Buyer at the address specified in the Notice of Conversion (which may be the Buyer’s address for notices as contemplated by Section 10 hereof or a different address) via express courier, in each case within two (2) business days (the “Delivery Date”) after (A) the business day on which the Company or the Transfer Agent has received the Notice of Conversion (by facsimile, email or other delivery) or (B) the date on which payment of interest and principal on the Debentures, which the Company has elected to pay by the issuance of Common Stock, as contemplated by the Debentures, was due, as the case may be.

 

c. Failure to Timely Issue Conversion Shares or De-Legended Shares. The Company’s failure to issue and deliver Conversion Shares to the Buyer (either by DWAC, DRS or in certificated form, as required by Section 5(b)) on or before the Delivery Date shall be considered an Event of Default, which shall entitle the Buyer to certain remedies set forth in the Debentures and provided by applicable law . Similarly, the Company’s failure to issue and deliver Common Stock in unrestricted form without a restrictive legend when required under the Transaction Documents shall entitle the Buyer to damages for the diminution in value (if any) of the relevant shares between the date delivery was due versus the date ultimately delivered in unrestricted form. The Company acknowledges that its failure to timely honor a Notice of Conversion (or the occurrence of any other Event of Default) shall cause definable financial hardship on the Buyer(s) and that the remedies set forth herein and in the Debentures are reasonable and appropriate.

 

d. Duties of Company; Authorization. The Company shall inform the Transfer Agent of the reservation of shares contemplated by Section 4(g) and this Section 5, and shall keep current in its payment obligations to the Transfer Agent such that the Transfer Agent will continue to process share transfers and the initial issuance of shares of Common Stock upon the conversion of Debentures. The Company hereby authorizes and agrees to authorize the Transfer Agent to correspond and otherwise communicate with the Buyer or their representatives in connection with the foregoing and other matters related to the Common Stock. Further, the Company hereby authorizes the Buyer or its representative to provide instructions to the Transfer Agent that are consistent with the foregoing and instructs the Transfer Agent to honor any such instructions. Should the Company fail for any reason to keep current in its payment obligations to the Transfer Agent, the Buyer and/or Investments may pay such amounts as are necessary to compensate the Transfer Agent for performing its duties with respect to share reservation, issuance of Conversion Shares and/or de-legending certificates representing Restricted Stock, and all amounts so paid shall be promptly reimbursed by the Company. If not so reimbursed within thirty (30) days, such amounts shall, at the option of the Buyer and without prior notice to or consent of the Company, be added to the principal amount due under the Debenture(s) held by the Buyer, whereupon interest will begin to accrue on such amounts at the rate specified in the Debentures.

 

e. Effect of Bankruptcy. The Buyer shall be entitled to exercise its conversion privilege with respect to the Debentures notwithstanding the commencement of any case under 11 U.S.C. §101 et seq. (the “Bankruptcy Code”). In the event the Company is a debtor under the Bankruptcy Code, the Company hereby waives, to the fullest extent permitted, any rights to relief it may have under 11 U.S.C. §362 in respect of the Buyer’s conversion privilege. The Company hereby waives, to the fullest extent permitted, any rights to relief it may have under 11 U.S.C. §362 in respect of the conversion of the Debentures. The Company agrees, without cost or expense to the Buyer, to take or to consent to any and all action necessary to effectuate relief under 11 U.S.C. §362.

14
 

 

Section 9.3 METHOD OF ASSERTING INDEMNIFICATION CLAIMS . All claims for indemnification by any Indemnified Party under Section 9.2 shall be asserted and resolved as follows:

 

(a) In the event any claim or demand in respect of which an Indemnified Party might seek indemnity under Section 9.2 is asserted against or sought to be collected from such Indemnified Party by a Person other than a party hereto or an affiliate thereof (a “ Third Party Claim ”), the Indemnified Party shall deliver a written notification, enclosing a copy of all papers served, if any, and specifying the nature of and basis for such Third Party Claim and for the Indemnified Party’s claim for indemnification that is being asserted under any provision of Section 9.2 against an Indemnifying Party, together with the amount or, if not then reasonably ascertainable, the estimated amount, determined in good faith, of such Third Party Claim (a “ Claim Notice ”) with reasonable promptness to the Indemnifying Party. If the Indemnified Party fails to provide the Claim Notice with reasonable promptness after the Indemnified Party receives notice of such Third Party Claim, the Indemnifying Party shall not be obligated to indemnify the Indemnified Party with respect to such Third Party Claim to the extent that the Indemnifying Party’s ability to defend has been prejudiced by such failure of the Indemnified Party. The Indemnifying Party shall notify the Indemnified Party as soon as practicable within the period ending thirty (30) calendar days following receipt by the Indemnifying Party of either a Claim Notice or an Indemnity Notice (as defined below) (the “ Dispute Period ”) whether the Indemnifying Party disputes its liability or the amount of its liability to the Indemnified Party under Section 9.2 and whether the Indemnifying Party desires, at its sole cost and expense, to defend the Indemnified Party against such Third Party Claim.

 

(i) If the Indemnifying Party notifies the Indemnified Party within the Dispute Period that the Indemnifying Party desires to defend the Indemnified Party with respect to the Third Party Claim pursuant to this Section 9.3(a), then the Indemnifying Party shall have the right to defend, with counsel reasonably satisfactory to the Indemnified Party, at the sole cost and expense of the Indemnifying Party, such Third Party Claim by all appropriate proceedings, which proceedings shall be vigorously and diligently prosecuted by the Indemnifying Party to a final conclusion or will be settled at the discretion of the Indemnifying Party (but only with the consent of the Indemnified Party in the case of any settlement that provides for any relief other than the payment of monetary damages or that provides for the payment of monetary damages as to which the Indemnified Party shall not be indemnified in full pursuant to Section 9.2). The Indemnifying Party shall have full control of such defense and proceedings, including any compromise or settlement thereof; provided , however , that the Indemnified Party may, at the sole cost and expense of the Indemnified Party, at any time prior to the Indemnifying Party’s delivery of the notice referred to in the first sentence of this clause (i), file any motion, answer or other pleadings or take any other action that the Indemnified Party reasonably believes to be necessary or appropriate to protect its interests; and provided , further , that if requested by the Indemnifying Party, the Indemnified Party will, at the sole cost and expense of the Indemnifying Party, provide reasonable cooperation to the Indemnifying Party in contesting any Third Party Claim that the Indemnifying Party elects to contest. The Indemnified Party may participate in, but not control, any defense or settlement of any Third Party Claim controlled by the Indemnifying Party pursuant to this clause (i), and except as provided in the preceding sentence, the Indemnified Party shall bear its own costs and expenses with respect to such participation. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Indemnified Party may takeover the control of the defense or settlement of a Third Party Claim at any time if it irrevocably waives its right to indemnity under Section 9.2 with respect to such Third Party Claim.

 

15
 

 

(ii) If the Indemnifying Party fails to notify the Indemnified Party within the Dispute Period that the Indemnifying Party desires to defend the Third Party Claim pursuant to Section 9.3(a), or if the Indemnifying Party gives such notice but fails to prosecute vigorously and diligently or settle the Third Party Claim, or if the Indemnifying Party fails to give any notice whatsoever within the Dispute Period, then the Indemnified Party shall have the right to defend, at the sole cost and expense of the Indemnifying Party, the Third Party Claim by all appropriate proceedings, which proceedings shall be prosecuted by the Indemnified Party in a reasonable manner and in good faith or will be settled at the discretion of the Indemnified Party(with the consent of the Indemnifying Party, which consent will not be unreasonably withheld). The Indemnified Party will have full control of such defense and proceedings, including any compromise or settlement thereof; provided, however, that if requested by the Indemnified Party, the Indemnifying Party will, at the sole cost and expense of the Indemnifying Party, provide reasonable cooperation to the Indemnified Party and its counsel in contesting any Third Party Claim which the Indemnified Party is contesting. Notwithstanding the foregoing provisions of this clause (ii), if the Indemnifying Party has notified the Indemnified Party within the Dispute Period that the Indemnifying Party disputes its liability or the amount of its liability hereunder to the Indemnified Party with respect to such Third Party Claim and if such dispute is resolved in favor of the Indemnifying Party in the manner provided in clause (iii) below, the Indemnifying Party will not be required to bear the costs and expenses of the Indemnified Party’s defense pursuant to this clause (ii) or of the Indemnifying Party’s participation therein at the Indemnified Party’s request, and the Indemnified Party shall reimburse the Indemnifying Party in full for all reasonable costs and expenses incurred by the Indemnifying Party in connection with such litigation. The Indemnifying Party may participate in, but not control, any defense or settlement controlled by the Indemnified Party pursuant to this clause (ii), and the Indemnifying Party shall bear its own costs and expenses with respect to such participation.

 

(iii) If the Indemnifying Party notifies the Indemnified Party that it does not dispute its liability or the amount of its liability to the Indemnified Party with respect to the Third Party Claim under Section 9.2 or fails to notify the Indemnified Party within the Dispute Period whether the Indemnifying Party disputes its liability or the amount of its liability to the Indemnified Party with respect to such Third Party Claim, the amount of Damages specified in the Claim Notice shall be conclusively deemed a liability of the Indemnifying Party under Section 9.2 and the Indemnifying Party shall pay the amount of such Damages to the Indemnified Party on demand. If the Indemnifying Party has timely disputed its liability or the amount of its liability with respect to such claim, the Indemnifying Party and the Indemnified Party shall proceed in good faith to negotiate a resolution of such dispute; provided , however , that if the dispute is not resolved within thirty (30) days after the Claim Notice, the Indemnifying Party shall be entitled to institute such legal action as it deems appropriate.

 

(b) In the event any Indemnified Party should have a claim under Section 9.2 against the Indemnifying Party that does not involve a Third Party Claim, the Indemnified Party shall deliver a written notification of a claim for indemnity under Section 9.2 specifying the nature of and basis for such claim, together with the amount or, if not then reasonably ascertainable, the estimated amount, determined in good faith, of such claim (an “ Indemnity Notice ”) with reasonable promptness to the Indemnifying Party. The failure by any Indemnified Party to give the Indemnity Notice shall not impair such party’s rights hereunder except to the extent that the Indemnifying Party demonstrates that it has been irreparably prejudiced thereby. If the Indemnifying Party notifies the Indemnified Party that it does not dispute the claim or the amount of the claim described in such Indemnity Notice or fails to notify the Indemnified Party within the Dispute Period whether the Indemnifying Party disputes the claim or the amount of the claim described in such Indemnity Notice, the amount of Damages specified in the Indemnity Notice will be conclusively deemed a liability of the Indemnifying Party under Section 9.2 and the Indemnifying Party shall pay the amount of such Damages to the Indemnified Party on demand. If the Indemnifying Party has timely disputed its liability or the amount of its liability with respect to such claim, the Indemnifying Party and the Indemnified Party shall proceed in good faith to negotiate a resolution of such dispute; provided, however, that if the dispute is not resolved within thirty (30) days after the Claim Notice, the Indemnifying Party shall be entitled to institute such legal action as it deems appropriate.

 

16
 

 

(c) The Indemnifying Party agrees to pay the Indemnified Party, promptly as such expenses are incurred and are due and payable, for any reasonable legal fees or other reasonable expenses incurred by them in connection with investigating or defending any such Claim.

 

(d) The indemnity provisions contained herein shall be in addition to (i) any cause of action or similar rights of the Indemnified Party against the Indemnifying Party or others, and (ii) any liabilities the Indemnifying Party may be subject to.

Section 10.12 EQUITABLE RELIEF .

No failure or delay in the exercise of any power, right or privilege hereunder shall operate as a waiver thereof, nor shall any single or partial exercise of any such power, right or privilege preclude other or further exercise thereof or of any other right, power or privilege.

 

Section 10.15 PUBLICITY .

The Investor acknowledges that this Agreement and all or part of the Transaction Documents may be deemed to be “material contracts,” as that term is defined by Item 601(b)(10) of Regulation S-K, and that the Company may therefore be required to file such documents as exhibits to reports or registration statements filed under the Securities Act or the Exchange Act. The Investor further agrees that the status of such documents and materials as material contracts shall be determined solely by the Company, in consultation with its counsel.

e. “ Registration Statement ” means one or more registration statements of the Company covering only the sale of the Registrable Securities.

 

2. REGISTRATION .

 

a. Mandatory Registration. The Company shall, within thirty (30) calendar days from the date hereof, file with the SEC an initial Registration Statement covering the maximum number of Registrable Securities (beginning with the Commitment Shares) as shall be permitted to be included thereon in accordance with applicable SEC rules, regulations and interpretations so as to permit the resale of such Registrable Securities by the Investor, including but not limited to under Rule 415 under the Securities Act at then prevailing market prices (and not fixed prices), subject to the aggregate number of authorized shares of the Company’s Common Stock then available for issuance in its Certificate of Incorporation. The initial Registration Statement shall register only the Registrable Securities. The Investor and its counsel shall have a reasonable opportunity to review and comment upon such Registration Statement and any amendment or supplement to such Registration Statement and any related prospectus prior to its filing with the SEC, and the Company shall give due consideration to all reasonable comments. The Investor shall furnish all information reasonably requested by the Company for inclusion therein. The Company shall use its reasonable best efforts to have the Registration Statement declared effective by the SEC within ninety (90) calendar days from the date hereof (or at the earliest possible date if prior to ninety (90) calendar days from the date hereof), and any amendment declared effective by the SEC at the earliest possible date. The Company shall use reasonable best efforts to keep the Registration Statement effective, including but not limited to pursuant to Rule 415 promulgated under the Securities Act and available for the resale by the Investor of all of the Registrable Securities covered thereby at all times until the earlier of (i) the date as of which the Investor may sell all of the Registrable Securities without restriction pursuant to Rule 144 promulgated under the Securities and (ii) the date on which the Investor shall have sold all the Registrable Securities covered thereby and no Available Amount remains under the Purchase Agreement (the “ Registration Period ”). The Registration Statement (including any amendments or supplements thereto and prospectuses contained therein) shall not contain any untrue statement of a material fact or omit to state a material fact required to be stated therein, or necessary to make the statements therein, in light of the circumstances in which they were made, not misleading.

 

b. Rule 424 Prospectus . The Company shall, as required by applicable securities regulations, from time to time file with the SEC, pursuant to Rule 424 promulgated under the Securities Act, the prospectus and prospectus supplements, if any, to be used in connection with sales of the Registrable Securities under the Registration Statement. The Investor and its counsel shall have a reasonable opportunity to review and comment upon such prospectus prior to its filing with the SEC, and the Company shall give due consideration to all such comments. The Investor shall use its reasonable best efforts to comment upon such prospectus within one (1) Business Day from the date the Investor receives the final pre-filing version of such prospectus.

 

  2  

 

 

c. Sufficient Number of Shares Registered . In the event the number of shares available under the Registration Statement is insufficient to cover all of the Registrable Securities, the Company shall amend the Registration Statement or file a new Registration Statement (a “ New Registration Statement ”), so as to cover all of such Registrable Securities (subject to the limitations set forth in Section 2(a)) as soon as practicable, but in any event not later than ten (10) Business Days after the necessity therefor arises, subject to any limits that may be imposed by the SEC pursuant to Rule 415 under the Securities Act. The Company shall use it reasonable best efforts to cause such amendment and/or New Registration Statement to become effective as soon as practicable following the filing thereof. In the event that any of the Put Shares or Commitment Shares are not included in the Registration Statement, or have not been included in any New Registration Statement and the Company files any other registration statement under the Securities Act (other than on Form S-4, Form S-8, or with respect to other employee related plans or rights offerings) (“ Other Registration Statement ”) then the Company shall include in such Other Registration Statement first all of such Put Shares that have not been previously registered, second all of such Commitment Shares that not have been previously registered, and third any other securities the Company wishes to include in such Other Registration Statement. The Company agrees that it shall not file any such Other Registration Statement unless all of the Put Shares and Commitment Shares have been included in such Other Registration Statement or otherwise have been registered for resale as described above.

 

d. Offering . If the staff of the SEC (the “ Staff ”) or the SEC seeks to characterize any offering pursuant to a Registration Statement filed pursuant to this Agreement as constituting an offering of securities that does not permit such Registration Statement to become effective and be used for resales by the Investor under Rule 415 at then-prevailing market prices (and not fixed prices), or if after the filing of the initial Registration Statement with the SEC pursuant to Section 2(a), the Company is otherwise required by the Staff or the SEC to reduce the number of Registrable Securities included in such initial Registration Statement, then the Company shall reduce the number of Registrable Securities to be included in such initial Registration Statement (with the prior consent, which shall not be unreasonably withheld, of the Investor and its legal counsel as to the specific Registrable Securities to be removed therefrom) until such time as the Staff and the SEC shall so permit such Registration Statement to become effective and be used as aforesaid. In the event of any reduction in Registrable Securities pursuant to this paragraph, the Company shall file one or more New Registration Statements in accordance with Section 2(c) until such time as all Registrable Securities have been included in Registration Statements that have been declared effective and the prospectus contained therein is available for use by the Investor. Notwithstanding any provision herein or in the Purchase Agreement to the contrary, the Company’s obligations to register Registrable Securities (and any related conditions to the Investor’s obligations) shall be qualified as necessary to comport with any requirement of the SEC or the Staff as addressed in this Section 2(d).

 

3. RELATED OBLIGATIONS .

 

With respect to the Registration Statement and whenever any Registrable Securities are to be registered pursuant to Section 2 including on any New Registration Statement, the Company shall use its reasonable best efforts to effect the registration of the Registrable Securities in accordance with the intended method of disposition thereof and, pursuant thereto, the Company shall have the following obligations:

 

a. The Company shall prepare and file with the SEC such amendments (including post-effective amendments) and supplements to any registration statement and the prospectus used in connection with such registration statement, which prospectus is to be filed pursuant to Rule 424 promulgated under the Securities Act, as may be necessary to keep the Registration Statement or any New Registration Statement effective at all times during the Registration Period, and, during such period, comply with the provisions of the Securities Act with respect to the disposition of all Registrable Securities of the Company covered by the Registration Statement or any New Registration Statement until such time as all of such Registrable Securities shall have been disposed of in accordance with the intended methods of disposition by the seller or sellers thereof as set forth in such registration statement.

 

  3  

 

 

b. The Company shall permit the Investor to review and comment upon the Registration Statement or any New Registration Statement and all amendments and supplements thereto at least two (2) Business Days prior to their filing with the SEC, and not file any document in a form to which Investor reasonably objects. The Investor shall use its reasonable best efforts to comment upon the Registration Statement or any New Registration Statement and any amendments or supplements thereto within two (2) Business Days from the date the Investor receives the final version thereof.

For the avoidance of doubt, any filing available to the Investor via the SEC’s live EDGAR system shall be deemed “furnished to the Investor” hereunder.

 

d. The Company shall use reasonable best efforts to (i) register and qualify the Registrable Securities covered by a registration statement under such other securities or “blue sky” laws of such jurisdictions in the United States as the Investor reasonably requests, (ii) prepare and file in those jurisdictions, such amendments (including post-effective amendments) and supplements to such registrations and qualifications as may be necessary to maintain the effectiveness thereof during the Registration Period, (iii) take such other actions as may be necessary to maintain such registrations and qualifications in effect at all times during the Registration Period, and (iv) take all other actions reasonably necessary or advisable to qualify the Registrable Securities for sale in such jurisdictions; provided, however, that the Company shall not be required in connection therewith or as a condition thereto to (x) qualify to do business in any jurisdiction where it would not otherwise be required to qualify but for this Section 3(d), (y) subject itself to general taxation in any such jurisdiction, or (z) file a general consent to service of process in any such jurisdiction. The Company shall promptly notify the Investor who holds Registrable Securities of the receipt by the Company of any notification with respect to the suspension of the registration or qualification of any of the Registrable Securities for sale under the securities or “blue sky” laws of any jurisdiction in the United States or its receipt of actual notice of the initiation or threatening of any proceeding for such purpose.

 

e. As promptly as practicable after becoming aware of such event or facts, the Company shall notify the Investor in writing of the happening of any event or existence of such facts as a result of which the prospectus included in any registration statement, as then in effect, includes an untrue statement of a material fact or omits to state a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein, in light of the circumstances under which they were made, not misleading, and promptly prepare a supplement or amendment to such registration statement to correct such untrue statement or omission, and deliver a copy of such supplement or amendment to the Investor (or such other number of copies as the Investor may reasonably request). The Company shall also promptly notify the Investor in writing (i) when a prospectus or any prospectus supplement or post-effective amendment has been filed, and when a registration statement or any post-effective amendment has become effective (notification of such effectiveness shall be delivered to the Investor by email or facsimile on the same day of such effectiveness and by overnight mail), (ii) of any request by the SEC for amendments or supplements to any registration statement or related prospectus or related information, and (iii) of the Company’s reasonable determination that a post-effective amendment to a registration statement would be appropriate.

 

  4  

 

 

f. The Company shall use its reasonable best efforts to prevent the issuance of any stop order or other suspension of effectiveness of any registration statement, or the suspension of the qualification of any Registrable Securities for sale in any jurisdiction and, if such an order or suspension is issued, to obtain the withdrawal of such order or suspension at the earliest possible moment and to notify the Investor of the issuance of such order and the resolution thereof or its receipt of actual notice of the initiation or threat of any proceeding for such purpose.

 

g. The Company shall (i) cause all the Registrable Securities to be listed on each securities exchange on which securities of the same class or series issued by the Company are then listed, if any, if the listing of such Registrable Securities is then permitted under the rules of such exchange, or (ii) secure designation and quotation of all the Registrable Securities on the principal exchange or recognized quotation system for the Company’s common stock. The Company shall pay all fees and expenses in connection with satisfying its obligation under this Section.

 

h. The Company shall cooperate with the Investor to facilitate the timely preparation and delivery of the Registrable Securities (not bearing any restrictive legend) either by DWAC, DRS, or in certificated form if DWAC or DRS is unavailable, to be offered pursuant to any registration statement and enable such Registrable Securities to be in such denominations or amounts as the Investor may reasonably request and registered in such names as the Investor may request.

 

i. The Company shall at all times provide a transfer agent and registrar with respect to its Common Stock.

 

j. If reasonably requested by the Investor, the Company shall (i) immediately incorporate in a prospectus supplement or post-effective amendment such information as the Investor believes should be included therein relating to the sale and distribution of Registrable Securities, including, without limitation, information with respect to the number of Registrable Securities being sold, the purchase price being paid therefor and any other terms of the offering of the Registrable Securities; (ii) make all required filings of such prospectus supplement or post-effective amendment as soon as practicable upon notification of the matters to be incorporated in such prospectus supplement or post-effective amendment; and (iii) supplement or make amendments to any registration statement.

 

k. The Company shall use its reasonable best efforts to cause the Registrable Securities covered by any registration statement to be registered with or approved by such other governmental agencies or authorities as may be necessary to consummate the disposition of such Registrable Securities.

 

l. Within one (1) Business Day after any registration statement which includes the Registrable Securities is ordered effective by the SEC, the Company shall deliver, and shall cause legal counsel for the Company to deliver, to the transfer agent for such Registrable Securities (with copies to the Investor) confirmation that such registration statement has been declared effective by the SEC in the form attached hereto as Exhibit A . Thereafter, if requested by the Buyer at any time, the Company shall require its counsel to deliver to the Buyer a written confirmation whether or not the effectiveness of such registration statement has lapsed at any time for any reason (including, without limitation, the issuance of a stop order) and whether or not the registration statement is current and available to the Buyer for sale of all of the Registrable Securities.

 

m. The Company shall take all other reasonable actions necessary to expedite and facilitate disposition by the Investor of Registrable Securities pursuant to any registration statement.

Notwithstanding anything to the contrary, the Company shall cause its transfer agent to promptly deliver shares of Common Stock without any restrictive legend in accordance with the terms of the Purchase Agreement in connection with any sale of Registrable Securities with respect to which an Investor has entered into a contract for sale prior to the Investor’s receipt of a notice from the Company of the happening of any event of the kind described in Section 3(f) or the first sentence of Section 3(e) and for which the Investor has not yet settled.

a. To the fullest extent permitted by law, the Company will, and hereby does, indemnify, hold harmless and defend the Investor, each Person, if any, who controls the Investor, the members, the directors, officers, partners, employees, agents, representatives of the Investor and each Person, if any, who controls the Investor within the meaning of the Securities Act or the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “ Exchange Act ”) (each, an “ Indemnified Person ”), against any losses, claims, damages, liabilities, judgments, fines, penalties, charges, costs, attorneys’ fees, amounts paid in settlement or expenses, joint or several, (collectively, “ Claims ”) incurred in investigating, preparing or defending any action, claim, suit, inquiry, proceeding, investigation or appeal taken from the foregoing by or before any court or governmental, administrative or other regulatory agency, body or the SEC, whether pending or threatened, whether or not an indemnified party is or may be a party thereto (“ Indemnified Damages ”), to which any of them may become subject insofar as such Claims (or actions or proceedings, whether commenced or threatened, in respect thereof) arise out of or are based upon: (i) any untrue statement or alleged untrue statement of a material fact in the Registration Statement, any New Registration Statement or any post-effective amendment thereto or in any filing made in connection with the qualification of the offering under the securities or other “blue sky” laws of any jurisdiction in which Registrable Securities are offered (“ Blue Sky Filing ”), or the omission or alleged omission to state a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein not misleading, (ii) any untrue statement or alleged untrue statement of a material fact contained in the final prospectus (as amended or supplemented, if the Company files any amendment thereof or supplement thereto with the SEC) or the omission or alleged omission to state therein any material fact necessary to make the statements made therein, in light of the circumstances under which the statements therein were made, not misleading, (iii) any violation or alleged violation by the Company of the Securities Act, the Exchange Act, any other law, including, without limitation, any state securities law, or any rule or regulation thereunder relating to the offer or sale of the Registrable Securities pursuant to the Registration Statement or any New Registration Statement or (iv) any material violation by the Company of this Agreement (the matters in the foregoing clauses (i) through (iv) being, collectively, “ Violations ”). The Company shall reimburse each Indemnified Person promptly as such expenses are incurred and are due and payable, for any reasonable legal fees or other reasonable expenses incurred by them in connection with investigating or defending any such Claim. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, the indemnification agreement contained in this Section 6(a): (i) shall not apply to a Claim by an Indemnified Person arising out of or based upon a Violation which occurs in reliance upon and in conformity with information about the Investor furnished in writing to the Company by such Indemnified Person expressly for use in connection with the preparation of the Registration Statement, any New Registration Statement or any such amendment thereof or supplement thereto, if such prospectus was timely made available by the Company pursuant to Section 3(c) or Section 3(e); (ii) with respect to any superseded prospectus, shall not inure to the benefit of any such person from whom the person asserting any such Claim purchased the Registrable Securities that are the subject thereof (or to the benefit of any person controlling such person) if the untrue statement or omission of material fact contained in the superseded prospectus was corrected in the revised prospectus, as then amended or supplemented, if such revised prospectus was timely made available by the Company pursuant to Section 3(c) or Section 3(e), and the Indemnified Person was promptly advised in writing not to use the incorrect prospectus prior to the use giving rise to a violation and such Indemnified Person, notwithstanding such advice, used it; (iii) shall not be available to the extent such Claim is based on a failure of the Investor to deliver or to cause to be delivered the prospectus made available by the Company, if such prospectus was timely made available by the Company pursuant to Section 3(c) or Section 3(e); and (iv) shall not apply to amounts paid in settlement of any Claim if such settlement is effected without the prior written consent of the Company, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld. Such indemnity shall remain in full force and effect regardless of any investigation made by or on behalf of the Indemnified Person and shall survive the transfer of the Registrable Securities by the Investor pursuant to Section 9.

 

b. Promptly after receipt by an Indemnified Person or Indemnified Party under this Section 6 of notice of the commencement of any action or proceeding (including any governmental action or proceeding) involving a Claim, such Indemnified Person or Indemnified Party shall, if a Claim in respect thereof is to be made against any indemnifying party under this Section 6, deliver to the indemnifying party a written notice of the commencement thereof, and the indemnifying party shall have the right to participate in, and, to the extent the indemnifying party so desires, jointly with any other indemnifying party similarly noticed, to assume control of the defense thereof with counsel mutually satisfactory to the indemnifying party and the Indemnified Person or the Indemnified Party, as the case may be; provided, however, that an Indemnified Person or Indemnified Party shall have the right to retain its own counsel with the fees and expenses to be paid by the indemnifying party, if, in the reasonable opinion of counsel retained by the indemnifying party, the representation by such counsel of the Indemnified Person or Indemnified Party and the indemnifying party would be inappropriate due to actual or potential differing interests between such Indemnified Person or Indemnified Party and any other party represented by such counsel in such proceeding. The Indemnified Party or Indemnified Person shall cooperate fully with the indemnifying party in connection with any negotiation or defense of any such action or claim by the indemnifying party and shall furnish to the indemnifying party all information reasonably available to the Indemnified Party or Indemnified Person which relates to such action or claim. The indemnifying party shall keep the Indemnified Party or Indemnified Person fully apprised at all times as to the status of the defense or any settlement negotiations with respect thereto. No indemnifying party shall be liable for any settlement of any action, claim or proceeding effected without its written consent, provided, however, that the indemnifying party shall not unreasonably withhold, delay or condition its consent. No indemnifying party shall, without the consent of the Indemnified Party or Indemnified Person, consent to entry of any judgment or enter into any settlement or other compromise which does not include as an unconditional term thereof the giving by the claimant or plaintiff to such Indemnified Party or Indemnified Person of a release from all liability in respect to such claim or litigation. Following indemnification as provided for hereunder, the indemnifying party shall be subrogated to all rights of the Indemnified Party or Indemnified Person with respect to all third parties, firms or corporations relating to the matter for which indemnification has been made. The failure to deliver written notice to the indemnifying party within a reasonable time of the commencement of any such action shall not relieve such indemnifying party of any liability to the Indemnified Person or Indemnified Party under this Section 6, except to the extent that the indemnifying party is prejudiced in its ability to defend such action.

 

  7  

 

 

c. The indemnification required by this Section 6 shall be made by periodic payments of the amount thereof during the course of the investigation or defense, as and when bills are received or Indemnified Damages are incurred.

 

d. The indemnity agreements contained herein shall be in addition to (i) any cause of action or similar right of the Indemnified Party or Indemnified Person against the indemnifying party or others, and (ii) any liabilities the indemnifying party may be subject to pursuant to the law.

 

7. CONTRIBUTION .

 

To the extent any indemnification by an indemnifying party is prohibited or limited by law, the indemnifying party agrees to make the maximum contribution with respect to any amounts for which it would otherwise be liable under Section 6 to the fullest extent permitted by law; provided, however, that: (i) no seller of Registrable Securities guilty of fraudulent misrepresentation (within the meaning of Section 11(f) of the Securities Act) shall be entitled to contribution from any seller of Registrable Securities who was not guilty of fraudulent misrepresentation; and (ii) contribution by any seller of Registrable Securities shall be limited in amount to the net amount of proceeds received by such seller from the sale of such Registrable Securities.

 

8. REPORTS AND DISCLOSURE UNDER THE SECURITIES ACTS .

 

With a view to making available to the Investor the benefits of Rule 144 promulgated under the Securities Act or any other similar rule or regulation of the SEC that may at any time permit the Investor to sell securities of the Company to the public without registration (“ Rule 144 ”), the Company agrees, at the Company’s sole expense, to:

 

a. make and keep public information available, as those terms are understood and defined in Rule 144;

 

b. file with the SEC in a timely manner all reports and other documents required of the Company under the Securities Act and the Exchange Act so long as the Company remains subject to such requirements and the filing of such reports and other documents is required for the applicable provisions of Rule 144;

 

c. furnish to the Investor so long as the Investor owns Registrable Securities, promptly upon request, (i) a written statement by the Company that it has complied with the reporting and or disclosure provisions of Rule 144, the Securities Act and the Exchange Act, (ii) a copy of the most recent annual or quarterly report of the Company and such other reports and documents so filed by the Company, and (iii) such other information as may be reasonably requested to permit the Investor to sell such securities pursuant to Rule 144 without registration; and

 

  8  

 

 

d. take such additional action as is requested by the Investor to enable the Investor to sell the Registrable Securities pursuant to Rule 144, including, without limitation, delivering all such legal opinions, consents, certificates, resolutions and instructions to the Company’s Transfer Agent as may be requested from time to time by the Investor and otherwise fully cooperate with Investor and Investor’s broker to effect such sale of securities pursuant to Rule 144.

 

The Company agrees that damages may be an inadequate remedy for any breach of the terms and provisions of this Section 8 and that Investor shall, whether or not it is pursuing any remedies at law, be entitled to equitable relief in the form of a preliminary or permanent injunctions, without having to post any bond or other security, upon any breach or threatened breach of any such terms or provisions.

 

9. ASSIGNMENT OF REGISTRATION RIGHTS .

 

The Company shall not assign this Agreement or any rights or obligations hereunder without the prior written consent of the Investor. The Investor may not assign its rights under this Agreement (except with respect to the Commitment Shares) without the written consent of the Company.

 

10. AMENDMENT OF REGISTRATION RIGHTS .

 

No provision of this Agreement may be amended or waived by the parties from and after the date that is one Business Day immediately preceding the initial filing of the Registration Statement with the SEC. Subject to the immediately preceding sentence, no provision of this Agreement may be (i) amended other than by a written instrument signed by both parties hereto or (ii) waived other than in a written instrument signed by the party against whom enforcement of such waiver is sought. Failure of any party to exercise any right or remedy under this Agreement or otherwise, or delay by a party in exercising such right or remedy, shall not operate as a waiver thereof.

Re: Effectiveness of Registration Statement

 

Ladies and Gentlemen:

 

We are counsel to CIPHERLOC CORPORATION , a Texas corporation (the “ Company ”), and have represented the Company in connection with that certain Purchase Agreement, dated as of December 14, 2017 (the “ Purchase Agreement ”), entered into by and between the Company and Peak One Opportunity Fund, L.P. (the “ Buyer ”) pursuant to which the Company has agreed to issue to the Buyer shares of the Company’s Common Stock, $0.01 par value (the “ Common Stock ”), in an amount up to Seven Million Dollars ($7,000,000.00) (the “ Put Shares ”), in accordance with the terms of the Purchase Agreement. In connection with the transactions contemplated by the Purchase Agreement, the Company has registered with the U.S. Securities & Exchange Commission the following shares of Common Stock:

 

  (1) __________ Put Shares to be issued to the Buyer upon purchase from the Company by the Buyer from time to time in accordance with the Purchase Agreement; and
     
  (2) __________Commitment Shares issued to the Buyer or its designee in accordance with the Purchase Agreement.

 

Pursuant to the Purchase Agreement, the Company also has entered into a Registration Rights Agreement, of even date with the Purchase Agreement with the Buyer (the “ Registration Rights Agreement ”) pursuant to which the Company agreed, among other things, to register the Put Shares and Commitment Shares under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “ Securities Act ”). In connection with the Company’s obligations under the Purchase Agreement and the Registration Rights Agreement, on [_____], 2017, the Company filed a Registration Statement (File No. 333-[_________]) (the “ Registration Statement ”) with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “ SEC ”) relating to the resale of the Put Shares and/or the Commitment Shares.

 

In connection with the foregoing, we advise you that a member of the SEC’s staff has advised us by telephone that the SEC has entered an order declaring the Registration Statement effective under the Securities Act at [_____] [A.M./P.M.] on [__________], 2017 and we have no knowledge, after telephonic inquiry of a member of the SEC’s staff, that any stop order suspending its effectiveness has been issued or that any proceedings for that purpose are pending before, or threatened by, the SEC and the Put Shares and Commitment Shares are available for resale under the Securities Act pursuant to the Registration Statement and may be issued without any restrictive legend.

 

  Very truly yours,
  [Company Counsel]
   
  By:
