NOTES TO UNAUDITED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

September 30, 2017

 

NOTE 1 – ORGANIZATION AND OPERATIONS

 

Waterside Capital Corporation (the “Company”) was incorporated in the Commonwealth of Virginia on July 13, 1993 and was a closed-end investment company licensed by the Small Business Administration (the “SBA”) as a Small Business Investment Corporation (“SBIC”). The Company previously made equity investments in, and provided loans to, small businesses to finance their growth, expansion, and development. Under applicable SBA regulations, the Company was restricted to investing only in qualified small businesses as contemplated by the Small Business Investment Act of 1958. As a registered investment company under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (the “Investment Company Act”), the Company’s investment objective was to provide its shareholders with a high level of income, with capital appreciation as a secondary objective. The Company made its first investment in a small business in October 1996.

 

On May 28, 2014, with the Company’s consent, the court having jurisdiction over the action filed by the SBA (the “ Court ”) entered a Consent Order and Judgment Dismissing Counterclaim, Appointing Receiver, Granting Permanent Injunctive Relief and Granting Money Judgment (the “ Order ”). The Order appointed the SBA receiver of the Company for the purpose of marshaling and liquidating in an orderly manner all of the Company’s assets and entered judgment in favor of the United States of America, on behalf of the SBA, against the Company in the amount of $11,770,722. The Court assumed jurisdiction over the Company and the SBA was appointed receiver effective May 28, 2014.

 

The Company effectively stopped conducting an active business upon the appointment of the SBA as receiver and the commencement of the court ordered receivership (the “ Receivership ”). Over the course of the Receivership the activity of the Company was limited to the liquidation of the Company’s assets by the receiver and the payment of the proceeds therefrom to the SBA and for the expenses of the Receivership. On June 28, 2017 the Receivership was terminated with the entry of a Final Order by the Court. The Final Order specifically stated that “Control of Waterside shall be unconditionally transferred and returned to its shareholders c/o Roran Capital, LLC (“Roran”) upon notification of entry of this Order”. Upon termination of the Receivership, Roran took possession of all books and records made available to it by the SBA, and Roran expended, and has continued to expend, its own funds to maintain the viability of the Company.

 

The Company has no assets of any value, and the Company no longer has the SBIC license from the SBA. The Company is clearly no longer operating as a registered investment company under the Investment Company Act. The Company will now seek to either (i) enter into a new business; or, (ii) merge with, or otherwise acquire, an active business which would benefit from operating as a public entity, and has undertaken a search to identify the best possible candidate(s) in order to provide value to the shareholders of the Company.

 

Going Concern

 

The accompanying financial statements of our Company have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States. The Company effectively ceased operations and it has net losses through the date of these financial statements. Our financial statements have been presented on the basis that our business is a going concern, which contemplates the realization of assets and the satisfaction of liabilities in the normal course of business. We are subject to the risks and uncertainties associated with a business with no operating business or assets and no revenue, as well as limitations on our operating capital resources. We have incurred operating losses and negative operating cash flows since the Receivership, and we expect to continue to incur operating losses and negative operating cash flows at least through the near future. Roran Capital LLC (“Roran”), which is a related party to the Company, has agreed to advance our Company funding in order to partially meet our most critical cash requirements and to assist the Company in its efforts to become a current SEC reporting company. For further discussion of the advances made by Roran, see the section titled “Notes Payable”.

 

As a result of the aforementioned factors, management has concluded that there is substantial doubt about our ability to continue as a going concern. Our independent registered public accounting firm, in its report on our 2017 financial statements, raised substantial doubt about our ability to continue as a going concern. Our unaudited financial statements as of and for the three months ended September 30, 2017 do not contain any adjustments for this uncertainty. In response to our Company’s cash needs, we raised funding as described in our notes that follow. Any additional amounts raised will be used for our future investing and operating cash flow needs. However, there can be no assurance that we will be successful in raising additional amounts of financing.

NOTE 2 - SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

 

Significant Accounting Policies

 

There have been no material changes in the Company’s significant accounting policies to those previously disclosed in the 2017 Annual Report.

 

Fiscal Year-End

 

The Company elected June 30 as its fiscal year-end date.

 

Use of Estimates and Assumptions and Critical Accounting Estimates and Assumptions

 

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“GAAP”) requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the dates of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting periods.

 

These significant accounting estimates or assumptions bear the risk of change due to the fact that there are uncertainties attached to these estimates or assumptions, and certain estimates or assumptions are difficult to measure or value.

 

Management bases its estimates on historical experience and on various assumptions that are believed to be reasonable in relation to the financial statements taken as a whole under the circumstances, the results of which form the basis for making judgments about the carrying values of assets and liabilities that are not readily apparent from other sources.

 

Management regularly evaluates the key factors and assumptions used to develop the estimates utilizing currently available information, changes in facts and circumstances, historical experience and reasonable assumptions. After such evaluations, if deemed appropriate, those estimates are adjusted accordingly.

 

Actual results could differ from those estimates.

 

Related Parties

 

The Company follows subtopic 850-10 of the FASB Accounting Standards Codification for the identification of related parties and disclosure of related party transactions.

 

Pursuant to section 850-10-20 the related parties include (a) affiliates (“Affiliate” means, with respect to any specified Person, any other Person that, directly or indirectly through one or more intermediaries, controls, is controlled by or is under common control with such Person, as such terms are used in and construed under Rule 405 under the Securities Act) of the Company; (b) entities for which investments in their equity securities would be required, absent the election of the fair value option under the Fair Value Option Subsection of section 825–10–15, to be accounted for by the equity method by the investing entity; (c) trusts for the benefit of employees, such as pension and profit-sharing trusts that are managed by or under the trusteeship of management; (d) principal owners of the Company; e) management of the Company; (f) other parties with which the Company may deal if one party controls or can significantly influence the management or operating policies of the other to an extent that one of the transacting parties might be prevented from fully pursuing its own separate interests; and (g) other parties that can significantly influence the management or operating policies of the transacting parties or that have an ownership interest in one of the transacting parties and can significantly influence the other to an extent that one or more of the transacting parties might be prevented from fully pursuing its own separate interests.

 

The financial statements shall include disclosures of material related party transactions, other than compensation arrangements, expense allowances, and other similar items in the ordinary course of business. However, disclosure of transactions that are eliminated in the preparation of consolidated or combined financial statements is not required in those statements. The disclosures shall include: (a) the nature of the relationship(s) involved; (b) a description of the transactions, including transactions to which no amounts or nominal amounts were ascribed, for each of the periods for which income statements are presented, and such other information deemed necessary to an understanding of the effects of the transactions on the financial statements; (c) the dollar amounts of transactions for each of the periods for which income statements are presented and the effects of any change in the method of establishing the terms from that used in the preceding period; and, (d) amounts due from or to related parties as of the date of each balance sheet presented and, if not otherwise apparent, the terms and manner of settlement.

 

Commitments and Contingencies

 

The Company follows subtopic 450-20 of the FASB Accounting Standards Codification to report accounting for contingencies. Certain conditions may exist as of the date the financial statements are issued, which may result in a loss to the Company, but which will only be resolved when one or more future events occur or fail to occur. The Company assesses such contingent liabilities, and such assessment inherently involves an exercise of judgment. In assessing loss contingencies related to legal proceedings that are pending against the Company or un-asserted claims that may result in such proceedings, the Company evaluates the perceived merits of any legal proceedings or un-asserted claims as well as the perceived merits of the amount of relief sought or expected to be sought therein.

WATERSIDE CAPITAL CORPORATION

NOTES TO UNAUDITED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

September 30, 2017

 

If the assessment of a contingency indicates that it is probable that a material loss has been incurred and the amount of the liability can be estimated, then the estimated liability would be accrued in the Company’s financial statements. If the assessment indicates that a potentially material loss contingency is not probable but is reasonably possible, or is probable but cannot be estimated, then the nature of the contingent liability, and an estimate of the range of possible losses, if determinable and material, would be disclosed.

 

Loss contingencies considered remote are generally not disclosed unless they involve guarantees, in which case the guarantees would be disclosed.

 

Deferred Tax Assets and Income Taxes Provision

 

The Company adopted the provisions of paragraph 740-10-25-13 of the FASB Accounting Standards Codification. Paragraph 740-10-25-13 which addresses the determination of whether tax benefits claimed or expected to be claimed on a tax return should be recorded in the financial statements. Under paragraph 740-10-25-13, the Company may recognize the tax benefit from an uncertain tax position only if it is more likely than not that the tax position will be sustained on examination by the taxing authorities, based on the technical merits of the position. The tax benefits recognized in the financial statements from such a position should be measured based on the largest benefit that has a greater than fifty percent (50%) likelihood of being realized upon ultimate settlement. Paragraph 740-10-25-13 also provides guidance on de-recognition, classification, interest and penalties on income taxes, accounting in interim periods and requires increased disclosures. The Company had no material adjustments to its liabilities for unrecognized income tax benefits according to the provisions of paragraph 740-10-25-13.

 

The estimated future tax effects of temporary differences between the tax basis of assets and liabilities are reported in the accompanying balance sheets, as well as tax credit carry-backs and carry-forwards. The Company periodically reviews the recoverability of deferred tax assets recorded on its balance sheets and provides valuation allowances as management deems necessary.

 

Management makes judgments as to the interpretation of the tax laws that might be challenged upon an audit and cause changes to previous estimates of tax liability. In addition, the Company operates within multiple taxing jurisdictions and is subject to audit in these jurisdictions. In management’s opinion, adequate provisions for income taxes have been made for all years. If actual taxable income by tax jurisdiction varies from estimates, additional allowances or reversals of reserves may be necessary.

 

Tax years that remain subject to examination by major tax jurisdictions are generally the prior three (3) years for federal purposes, and the prior four (4) years for state purposes; however, as a result of the Company’s operating losses, all tax years remain subject to examination by tax authorities.

 

Net Loss Per Common Share

 

The Company computes net income or loss per share in accordance with ASC 260 Earnings Per Share. Under the provisions of the Earnings per Share Topic ASC, basic net loss per share is computed by dividing the net loss available to common stockholders for the period by the weighted average number of shares of common stock outstanding during the period. The calculation of diluted net loss per share gives effect to common stock equivalents; however, potential common shares are excluded if their effect is anti-dilutive.

 

Subsequent Events

 

The Company follows the guidance in Section 855-10-50 of the FASB Accounting Standards Codification for the disclosure of subsequent events. The Company will evaluate subsequent events through the date when the financial statements are issued. Pursuant to ASU 2010-09 of the FASB Accounting Standards Codification, the Company, as an SEC filer, considers its financial statements issued when they are widely distributed to users, such as through filing them on EDGAR.

 

Recently Issued Accounting Pronouncements

 

From time to time, new accounting pronouncements are issued by the FASB or other standard setting bodies that are adopted by the Company as of the specified effective date. Unless otherwise discussed, we believe that the impact of recently issued standards that are not yet effective will not have a material impact on our financial position or results of operations upon adoption.

Convertible Financial Instruments

 

The Company bifurcates conversion options from their host instruments and accounts for them as free standing derivative financial instruments if certain criteria are met. The criteria include circumstances in which (a) the economic characteristics and risks of the embedded derivative instrument are not clearly and closely related to the economic characteristics and risks of the host contract, (b) the hybrid instrument that embodies both the embedded derivative instrument and the host contract is not re-measured at fair value under otherwise applicable generally accepted accounting principles with changes in fair value reported in earnings as they occur and (c) a separate instrument with the same terms as the embedded derivative instrument would be considered a derivative instrument. An exception to this rule is when the host instrument is deemed to be conventional, as that term is described under applicable GAAP.

 

When the Company has determined that the embedded conversion options should not be bifurcated from their host instruments, discounts are recorded for the intrinsic value of conversion options embedded in the instruments based upon the differences between the fair value of the underlying common stock at the commitment date of the transaction and the effective conversion price embedded in the instrument.

 

Beneficial conversion feature – The issuance of the convertible debt described in Note 4, generated a beneficial conversion feature (“BCF”), which arises when a debt or equity security is issued with an embedded conversion option that is beneficial to the investor or in the money at inception because the conversion option has an effective strike price that is less than the market price of the underlying stock at the commitment date. The Company recognized the BCF by allocating the intrinsic value of the conversion option, which is the number of shares of common stock available upon conversion multiplied by the difference between the effective conversion price per share and the fair value of common stock per share on the commitment date, resulting in a discount on the convertible debt (recorded as a component of additional paid in capital).

 

NOTE 4 – NOTES PAYABLE

 

On March 30, 2010, the SBA notified the Company that its account had been transferred to liquidation status and that the then outstanding debentures of $16.1 million plus accrued interest (the “Debentures”) were due and payable within fifteen days of the date of the letter. The Company did not possess adequate liquid assets to make this payment. The Company negotiated terms of a settlement agreement with the SBA effective September 1, 2010, which allowed the Company’s management to liquidate the portfolio so long as there are no events of default. The Debentures were repurchased by the SBA in September 2010, represented by a Note Agreement between the SBA and the Company. The Note Agreement had a maturity of March 31, 2013. In the event of a default, the SBA had the ability to seek receivership.

 

On May 24, 2012 the SBA delivered to the Company a notice of an event of default for failure to meet the principal repayment schedule under the Note Agreement (the “ Notice ”). Under the terms of the Notice and the Note Agreement the SBA maintained a continuing right to terminate the Note Agreement and appoint a receiver to manage the Company’s assets.

 

On November 20, 2013 the SBA filed a complaint in the United States District Court for the Eastern District of Virginia seeking, among other things, receivership for the Company and a judgment in the amount outstanding under the Note Agreement plus continuing interest. The complaint alleged that as of October 31, 2013 there remained an outstanding balance of $11,762,634 under the Note Agreement, including interest, which continued to accrue at the rate of $2,021 per day. The SBA, in filing the complaint, requested that the court take exclusive jurisdiction of the Company and all of its assets wherever located and appoint the SBA as permanent receiver of the Company for the purpose of liquidating all of the Company’s assets and satisfying the claims of its creditors in the order of priority as determined by the court.

 

The Company initially took steps to contest the legal action initiated by the SBA and to oppose the receivership action. On April 29, 2014 the Board of Directors of the Company, as then constituted (the “ Board ”), met to reconsider the decision to contest the SBA’s legal action. In light of developments occurring since December of 2013, including projections of its portfolio companies and discussions with the SBA, the Board determined, after consultation with and advice of its counsel, that it was not in the best interests of the Company and its shareholders to continue to contest the legal action. The SBA was informed of this determination. The Board also decided to consent to the receivership process.

 

On May 28, 2014, with the Company’s consent, the court having jurisdiction over the action filed by the SBA (the “ Court ”) entered a Consent Order and Judgment Dismissing Counterclaim, Appointing Receiver, Granting Permanent Injunctive Relief and Granting Money Judgment (the “ Order ”). The Order appointed the SBA receiver of the Company for the purpose of marshaling and liquidating in an orderly manner all of the Company’s assets and entered judgment in favor of the United States of America, on behalf of the SBA, against the Company in the amount of $11,770,722. Such amount represents $11,700,000 in principal and $70,722 in accrued interest. The Court assumed jurisdiction over the Company and the SBA was appointed receiver effective May 28, 2014.

 

On June 28, 2017, the Receivership was terminated and a final order entered by the Court provided Roran with control of the Company. As of September 30, 2017, the Company’s outstanding judgment payable totaled $10,427,300, and interest payable totaled $147,569.

 

The Company’s outstanding judgment payable owed to the SBA was purchased by Roran from the SBA in July, 2017. As such, all amounts due under the outstanding judgment payable are now owed to Roran rather than the SBA.

WATERSIDE CAPITAL CORPORATION

NOTES TO UNAUDITED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

September 30, 2017

 

On September 19, 2017, the Company entered into a Convertible Loan Agreement with Roran (the “Loan Agreement”). Pursuant to the Loan Agreement, Roran agreed to loan to the Company an amount not to exceed a total of $150,000 in principal over 18-months. Each advance under the Loan Agreement will be documented under a Convertible Promissory Note issued by the Company in favor Roran (the “Note”). The Note bears interest at the rate of 12% per annum and is due in 18-months. Roran has the right to convert all or any portion of the Note into shares of the Company’s common stock at a conversion price equal to 60% of the share price.

 

As a result of the advance made pursuant to the Loan Agreement, the Company has incurred total obligations of $21,916 as of September 30, 2017. The Company recorded a BCF due the conversion option of $14,611. The amount was netted against the note payable balance as a debt discount with the corresponding entry to additional paid-in capital. The debt discount has been amortized as interest expense through the maturity date in March 2019.

 

NOTE 5 - INVESTMENTS AND NOTES RECEIVABLE

 

The Company’s legacy assets primarily consisted of prior investments that were composed of equity and debt securities. During the Receivership, the investments were either in default or distressed in nature. The Receiver liquidated the assets through negotiations and the investments were written down to their estimated net realizable value through recognizing other-than-temporary impairment losses. During the period ended September 30, 2016, the Receiver liquidated the remaining investment assets and recognized a loss of $100,425.

 

As part of a settlement on an investment, during the year ended June 30, 2016, the Receiver exchanged part of an investment for two $75,000 notes receivable with consecutive 1 year terms. The first note receivable was repaid during the period ended September 30, 2016. The other $75,000 note receivable was transferred to the SBA to settle part of the accrued interest outstanding on the SBA judgment later in the 2017 fiscal year.

ITEM 2. MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

 

Forward-Looking Statements

 

This Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q, including “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations” in Item 2 of Part I of this report, include forward-looking statements. Information in this report contains “forward looking statements” which may be identified by the use of forward-looking terminology, such as “may”, “shall”, “will”, “could”, “expect”, “estimate”, “anticipate”, “predict”, “probable”, “possible”, “should”, “continue”, “believes”, “estimates”, “projects”, “targets”, 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. Statements in this report concerning the following, without limitation, are forward looking statements:

 

  future financial and operating results;
     
  our ability to fund operations and business plans, and the timing of any funding or corporate development transactions we may pursue;
     
  our ability to either (i) enter into a new business; or, (ii) merge with, or otherwise acquire, an active business which would benefit from operating as a public entity;
     
  current and future economic and political conditions;
     
  overall industry and market trends;
     
  management’s goals and plans for future operations; and
     
  other assumptions described in this report underlying or relating to any forward-looking statements.

 

All references to “Waterside”, “we”, “our,” “us” and the “Company” in this Item 2 refer to Waterside Capital Corporation.

 

The discussion in this section contains forward-looking statements. These statements relate to future events or our future financial performance. We have attempted to identify forward-looking statements by terminology such as “anticipate,” “believe,” “can,” “continue,” “could,” “estimate,” “expect,” “intend,” “may,” “plan,” “potential,” “predict,” “should,” “would” or “will” or the negative of these terms or other comparable terminology, but their absence does not mean that a statement is not forward-looking. These statements are only predictions and involve known and unknown risks, uncertainties and other factors, which could cause our actual results to differ from those projected in any forward-looking statements we make. You should understand that it is not possible to predict or identify all risks and uncertainties and you should not consider the risks and uncertainties identified by us to be a complete set of all potential risks or uncertainties that could materially affect us. You should not place undue reliance on the forward-looking statements we make herein because some or all of them may turn out to be wrong. We undertake no obligation to update any of the forward-looking statements contained herein to reflect future events and developments, except as required by law.

 

The following discussion of the results of operations for the three months ended September 30, 2017 and 2016, respectively, should be read in conjunction with our financial statements and the notes to those financial statements that are included elsewhere in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q. Our discussion includes forward-looking statements based upon current expectations that involve risks and uncertainties, such as our plans, objectives, expectations and intentions. Actual results and the timing of events could differ materially from those anticipated in these forward-looking statements because of a number of factors. An investment in our common stock involves a high degree of risk. Readers of this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q should carefully consider the risks set forth in the Risk Factors and Business sections of our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended June 30, 2017, filed with the SEC on April 12, 2018. 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.

 

The assumptions used for purposes of the forward-looking statements specified in the following information represent estimates of future events and are subject to uncertainty as to possible changes in economic, legislative, industry, and other circumstances. As a result, the identification and interpretation of data and other information and their use in developing and selecting assumptions from and among reasonable alternatives require the exercise of judgment. To the extent that the assumed events do not occur, the outcome may vary substantially from anticipated or projected results, and, accordingly, no opinion is expressed on the achievability of those forward-looking statements. No assurance can be given that any of the assumptions relating to the forward-looking statements specified in the following information are accurate, and we assume no obligation to update any such forward-looking statements.

Overview

 

The Company was formed in the Commonwealth of Virginia on July 13, 1993 and was a closed-end investment company licensed by the SBA as a SBIC. The Company previously made equity investments in, and provided loans to, small businesses to finance their growth, expansion, and development. Under applicable SBA regulations, the Company was restricted to investing only in qualified small businesses as contemplated by the Small Business Investment Act of 1958. As a registered investment company under the Investment Company Act, the Company’s investment objective was to provide its shareholders with a high level of income, with capital appreciation as a secondary objective. The Company made its first investment in a small business in October 1996.

 

In May 2014 the Company effectively ceased operations. The Company consented to a court order appointing the SBA as receiver of the Company for the purpose of marshaling and liquidating in an orderly manner all of the Company’s assets. That order also entered judgment in favor of the United States of America, on behalf of the SBA, against the Company in the amount of $11,770,722. The SBA was appointed receiver effective May 28, 2014.

 

Over the course of the Receivership the activity of the Company was limited to the liquidation of the Company’s assets by the receiver and the payment of the proceeds therefrom to the SBA and for the expenses of the Receivership. The SBIC license granted to the Company by the SBA was revoked by the SBA effective March 20, 2017. On June 28, 2017 the Receivership was terminated. The Final Order specifically stated that “Control of Waterside shall be unconditionally transferred and returned to its shareholders c/o Roran Capital, LLC (“Roran”) upon notification of entry of this Order.

 

Upon termination of the Receivership, Roran took possession of all books and records made available to it by the SBA, and Roran has expended, and continues to expend, its own funds to maintain the viability of the Company. With no assets and no SBIC license from the SBA, no income, and liabilities in excess of $10,000,000, it became clear to the Company that continuing to operate as a registered investment company was impossible. Roran provided assurances that it would fund reasonable expenses of the Company so long as progress was being made to reorganize the Company and seek a new business to undertake or to merge with an existing business. The New Board has continued to work toward achieving that goal.

 

The Company is no longer operating as a registered investment company under the Investment Company Act. The Company has engaged, and intends to continue to engage, qualified professionals and personnel in order to bring the Company current in its SEC filings and audits. Roran paid for the Company to file all delinquent SEC filings as a registered investment company. The Company believes that as of June 28, 2017 it ceased to be a registered investment company so it did not file as a registered investment company for the period ended June 30, 2017. Instead, the Company filed a Form 10-K for that period. Prior to the filing of that 10-K, the Company filed with the SEC an Application pursuant to Section 8(f) of the Investment Company Act of 1940 for an order declaring that the Company has ceased to be a registered investment company.

 

Recent Accounting Pronouncements

 

From time-to-time, new accounting pronouncements are issued by the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”), or other standard setting bodies, relating to the treatment and recording of certain accounting transactions. Unless otherwise discussed herein, management of the Company has determined that these recent accounting pronouncements will not have a material impact on the financial position or results of operations of the Company.

 

Critical Accounting Policies

 

Critical Accounting Policies and Significant Judgments and Estimates

 

Our management’s discussion and analysis of our financial condition and results of operations is based on our financial statements which we have been prepared in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles. In preparing our financial statements, we are required to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities, the disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting periods.

 

Critical accounting estimates are estimates for which (a) the nature of the estimate is material due to the levels of subjectivity and judgment necessary to account for highly uncertain matters or the susceptibility of such matters to change and (b) the impact of the estimate on financial condition or operating performance is material.

 

These significant accounting estimates or assumptions bear the risk of change due to the fact that there are uncertainties attached to these estimates or assumptions, and certain estimates or assumptions are difficult to measure or value.

 

Management bases its estimates on historical experience and on various assumptions that are believed to be reasonable in relation to the financial statements taken as a whole under the circumstances, the results of which form the basis for making judgments about the carrying values of assets and liabilities that are not readily apparent from other sources.

 

Management regularly evaluates the key factors and assumptions used to develop the estimates utilizing currently available information, changes in facts and circumstances, historical experience and reasonable assumptions. After such evaluations, if deemed appropriate, those estimates are adjusted accordingly.

 

12
 

 

Actual results could differ from those estimates.

 

While our significant accounting policies are described in more detail in Note 2 of our annual financial statements included in this Quarterly Report, we believe the following accounting policies to be critical to the judgments and estimates used in the preparation of our financial statements:

 

Assumption as a Going Concern

 

Management assumes that the Company will continue as a going concern, which contemplates continuity of operations, realization of assets, and liquidation of liabilities in the normal course of business. However, given our current financial position and lack of liquidity, there is substantial doubt about our ability to continue as a going concern.

 

Revenue Recognition

 

The Company recognizes revenues when persuasive evidence of an arrangement exists; delivery has occurred; price is fixed or determinable; and, collectability of the related receivable is reasonably assured. The Company follows the provisions of ASC 605, “Revenue Recognition”, which includes the guidelines of Staff Accounting Bulletin No. 104.

 

Deferred Tax Assets and Income Taxes Provision

 

The Company adopted the provisions of paragraph 740-10-25-13 of the FASB Accounting Standards Codification. Paragraph 740-10-25-13 which addresses the determination of whether tax benefits claimed or expected to be claimed on a tax return should be recorded in the financial statements. Under paragraph 740-10-25-13, the Company may recognize the tax benefit from an uncertain tax position only if it is more likely than not that the tax position will be sustained on examination by the taxing authorities, based on the technical merits of the position. The tax benefits recognized in the financial statements from such a position should be measured based on the largest benefit that has a greater than fifty percent (50%) likelihood of being realized upon ultimate settlement. Paragraph 740-10-25-13 also provides guidance on de-recognition, classification, interest and penalties on income taxes, accounting in interim periods and requires increased disclosures. The Company had no material adjustments to its liabilities for unrecognized income tax benefits according to the provisions of paragraph 740-10-25-13.

 

The estimated future tax effects of temporary differences between the tax basis of assets and liabilities are reported in the accompanying balance sheets, as well as tax credit carry-backs and carry-forwards. The Company periodically reviews the recoverability of deferred tax assets recorded on its balance sheets and provides valuation allowances as management deems necessary.

 

13
 

 

Management makes judgments as to the interpretation of the tax laws that might be challenged upon an audit and cause changes to previous estimates of tax liability. In addition, the Company operates within multiple taxing jurisdictions and is subject to audit in these jurisdictions. In management’s opinion, adequate provisions for income taxes have been made for all years. If actual taxable income by tax jurisdiction varies from estimates, additional allowances or reversals of reserves may be necessary.

 

Management assumes that the realization of the Company’s net deferred tax assets resulting from its net operating loss (“NOL”) carry–forwards for Federal income tax purposes that may be offset against future taxable income was not considered more likely than not and accordingly, the potential tax benefits of the net loss carry-forwards are offset by a full valuation allowance. Management made this assumption based on (a) the Company has incurred recurring losses and presently has no revenue-producing business, (b) general economic conditions, and (c) its ability to raise additional funds to support its daily operations by way of a public or private offering, among other factors.

 

Comparison of Three Months Ended September 30, 2017 And 2016

 

During the three months ended September 30, 2017 and September 30, 2016, respectively, the Company did not have any operations and therefore there were no revenues. Expenses were limited to maintaining the Company in good standing and becoming current in its filing obligations with the SEC.

 

Realized and Unrealized Loss on Investments

 

During the current period ended September 30, 2017, the Company had no remaining investment assets and therefore did not have any gain or loss activity. For the comparable prior period ended September 20, 2016, the Company liquidated its remaining investment assets under the Receivership and recognized losses of $100,425.

 

Administrative Expense

 

Professional fees totaled $24,761 for the three months ended September 30, 2017 compared to approximately $42,711 for the three months ended September 30, 2016. The decrease of $17,950 was primarily due to less activity in the current period as the prior comparable period was under the control of the Receiver and the Company was still in the process of liquidating its investments.

 

Net Loss

 

We reported a net loss of $25,362 during the three months ended September 30, 2017 compared to a net loss of $143,136 in the comparable period of 2016. The decrease was due to no investment activity.

 

Liquidity and Capital Resources

 

We have incurred recurring operating losses and negative operating cash flows in 2017 and through September 30, 2017, and we expect to continue to incur operating losses and negative operating cash flows at least through the near future. We have obtained funding through a convertible loan facility of up to $150,000 in order to partially meet our most critical cash requirements.

 

As a result of the aforementioned factors, management has concluded that there is substantial doubt about our ability to continue as a going concern. Our independent registered public accounting firm, in its report on our 2017 financial statements, raised substantial doubt about our ability to continue as a going concern. Our financial statements as of and for the three months ended September 30, 2017 do not contain any adjustments for this uncertainty. In response to our Company’s cash needs, we raised funding as described in our financial statements. Any additional amounts raised will be used for our future investing and operating cash flow needs. However, there can be no assurance that we will be successful in raising additional amounts of financing.

 

Management’s Plans

 

Our plan is to seek, investigate, and consummate a merger or other business combination, purchase of assets or other strategic transaction (i.e. a merger) with a corporation, partnership, limited liability company or other operating business entity, or enter into a new business (collectively, a “Business Target”) desiring the perceived advantages of becoming a publicly reporting and publicly held corporation. We have no operating business, and conduct minimal operations necessary to meet regulatory requirements. Our ability to commence any operations is contingent upon obtaining adequate financial resources.

 

We are not currently engaged in any business activities that provide cash flow. The costs of investigating and analyzing business combinations for the next 12 months and beyond such time will be paid with money borrowed from Roran.

 

During the next twelve months, we anticipate incurring costs related to (i) filing of Exchange Act reports; and, (ii) identifying and consummating a transaction with a Business Target. We believe we will be able to meet these costs through use of funds borrowed from Roran, or other amounts to be loaned to or invested in us by other investors.

 

We may consider a business which has recently commenced operations, is a developing company in need of additional funds for expansion into new products or markets, is seeking to develop a new product or service, or is an established business which may be experiencing financial or operating difficulties and is in need of additional capital. In the alternative, a business combination may involve the acquisition of, or merger with, a company which does not need substantial additional capital, but which desires to establish a public trading market for its shares, while avoiding, among other things, the time delays, significant expense, and loss of voting control which may occur in a public offering.

 

Zindel Zelmanovitch is our president, secretary and our chief financial officer. Mr. Zelmanovitch is only required to devote a small portion of his time to our affairs on a part-time or as-needed basis. No regular compensation has, in the past, nor is anticipated in the future, to be paid to any officer or director in their capacities as such. We do not anticipate hiring any full-time employees as long as we are seeking and evaluating Business Targets.

 

At September 30, 2017, we had zero (-0-) cash on hand. Since we have no revenue or plans to generate any revenue, we will be dependent upon loans to fund losses incurred in excess of our cash.

 

Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements

 

There are no off-balance sheet arrangements that have or are reasonably likely to have a current or future effect on our financial condition, changes in financial condition, revenues or expenses, results of operations, liquidity, capital expenditures or capital resources that are material to investors.

ITEM 3. QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK.

 

Not applicable.

 

ITEM 4. CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES

 

Evaluation of disclosure controls and procedures

 

Our management is responsible for establishing and maintaining a system of disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Rule 13a-15(e)) under the Exchange Act) that is designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed by our Company in the reports that we file or submit under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized and reported, within the time specified in the Commission’s rules and forms. Disclosure controls and procedures include, without limitation, controls and procedures designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed by an issuer in the reports that it files or submits under the Exchange Act is accumulated and communicated to the issuer’s management, including its principal executive officer or officers and principal financial officer or officers, or persons performing similar functions, as appropriate to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure.

 

Pursuant to Rule 13a-15(b) under the Exchange Act, our Company carried out an evaluation with the participation of our Company’s management, including our Company’s Chief Executive Officer (“CEO”) and our Company’s Chief Financial Officer (“CFO”), of the effectiveness of our Company’s disclosure controls and procedures (as defined under Rule 13a-15(e) under the Exchange Act) as of September 30, 2017. Based upon that evaluation, our Company’s CEO and CFO concluded that our Company’s disclosure controls and procedures were not effective as of September 30, 2017 due to our Company’s limited internal resources and lack of ability to have multiple levels of transaction review.

 

Management is in the process of determining how best to change our current system and implement a more effective system to insure that information required to be disclosed in the reports that we file or submit under the Exchange Act have been recorded, processed, summarized and reported accurately. Our management intends to develop procedures to address the current deficiencies to the extent possible given limitations in financial and personnel resources. While management is working on a plan, no assurance can be made at this point that the implementation of such controls and procedures will be completed in a timely manner or that they will be adequate once implemented.

 

Changes in internal control over financial reporting

 

There have been no changes in our internal control over financial reporting during the period ended September 30, 2017 that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal controls over financial reporting.

PART II

OTHER INFORMATION

 

ITEM 1. LEGAL PROCEEDINGS

 

From time to time, we may be involved in routine legal proceedings, as well as demands, claims and threatened litigation that arise in the normal course of our business. The ultimate amount of liability, if any, for any claims of any type (either alone or in the aggregate) may materially and adversely affect our financial condition, results of operations and liquidity. In addition, the ultimate outcome of any litigation is uncertain. Any outcome (including any for the actions described above), whether favorable or unfavorable, may materially and adversely affect us due to legal costs and expenses, diversion of management attention and other factors. We expense legal costs in the period incurred. We cannot assure you that additional contingencies of a legal nature or contingencies having legal aspects will not be asserted against us in the future, and these matters could relate to prior, current or future transactions or events.

 

We are not currently a party to any other material legal proceedings. We are not aware of any pending or threatened litigation against us that in our view would have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition, liquidity, or operating results. However, legal claims are inherently uncertain, and we cannot assure you that we will not be adversely affected in the future by legal proceedings.

 

ITEM 1A. RISK FACTORS

 

Not applicable for a small reporting company.

 

ITEM 2. UNREGISTERD SALES OF EQUITY SECURITIES AND USE OF PROCEEDS

 

On September 19, 2017 the Company issued its Convertible Promissory Note in an amount up to $150,000 in favor of Roran (the “ Note ”). The Note was issued pursuant to a Convertible Loan Agreement with Roran (the “ Loan Agreement ”). Amounts borrowed under the Note bear interest at 12% per annum. All outstanding principal and accrued interest on the Note is due and payable on the maturity date, which is March 19, 2019. The Note is convertible into shares of the Company's common stock (" Common Stock ") at any time at the discretion of Roran any time after the first 90-days under the Note at a conversion price per share equal to the lesser of: (i) 60% multiplied by the lowest trading price for the Common Stock during the 20 trading days prior to the date of the Note; or, (ii) 60% multiplied by the lowest trading price for the Common Stock during the 20 trading days prior to the date of conversion. The Note may be repaid in whole at any time. The repayment amount is subject to a premium on the outstanding principal balance of if repaid after 90-days, ranging from 10% to 25%, depending upon when repayment is tendered. If the Company fails to meet its obligations under the terms of the Note or the Loan Agreement, the Note shall become immediately due and payable and subject to penalties provided for in the Note.

 

The foregoing descriptions of the Loan Agreement and the Note do not purport to be complete and are qualified in their entirety by the terms and conditions of the Loan Agreement and the Note. A copy of the form of the Loan Agreement and the Note is attached hereto as Exhibit 10.2 and 10.3, respectively, and are incorporated herein by reference.

 

The Note issued under the Loan Agreement was offered and sold without registration under the Securities Act in reliance on the exemptions provided by Section 4(a)(2) of the Securities Act and/or Regulation D promulgated thereunder, and in reliance on similar exemptions under applicable state laws.

CONVERTIBLE PROMISSORY NOTE

 

FOR VALUE RECEIVED , WATERSIDE CAPITAL CORPORATION, a Virginia corporation (“ Borrower ” or “ Company ”), hereby promises to pay to the order of RORAN CAPITAL LLC , a Wyoming limited liability company, or its registered assigns (“ Holder ”) the sum of up to US $150,000.00, together with any interest as set forth herein, on or before 19 March 2019 (the “ Maturity Date ”), and to pay interest on the unpaid principal balance hereof at the rate of twelve percent (12%) (the “ Interest Rate ”) per annum from the date of each Advance, until the same becomes due and payable, whether at maturity or upon acceleration or by prepayment or otherwise.

 

This Convertible Promissory Note (the “ Note ”) may not be prepaid in whole or in part except as otherwise explicitly set forth herein. Any amount of principal or interest on this Note which is not paid when due shall bear an additional interest at the rate of ten percent (10%) per annum from the due date thereof until the same is paid (the “ Default Interest ”). All interest charged hereunder shall be computed on the basis of a 360-day year and the actual number of days elapsed. All payments due hereunder, to the extent not converted into Company common stock, $1.00 par value per share (the “ Common Stock ”) in accordance with the terms hereof, shall be made in lawful money of the United States of America.

 

All payments shall be made at such address as Holder shall hereafter give to Borrower by written notice made in accordance with the provisions of this Note. Whenever any amount expressed to be due by the terms of this Note is due on any day which is not a business day, the same shall instead be due on the next succeeding day which is a business day and, in the case of any interest payment date which is not the date on which this Note is paid in full, the extension of the due date thereof shall not be taken into account for purposes of determining the amount of interest due on such date. As used in this Note, the term “ business day ” shall mean any day other than a Saturday, Sunday or a day on which commercial banks in the city of New York, New York are authorized or required by law or executive order to remain closed. Each capitalized term used herein, and not otherwise defined, shall have the meaning ascribed thereto in that certain Convertible Loan Agreement dated the date hereof, pursuant to which this Note was originally issued (the “ Loan Agreement ”). This Note is subject to all terms and conditions of the Loan Agreement.

 

This Note is free from all taxes, liens, claims, and encumbrances with respect to the issue thereof and shall not be subject to preemptive rights or other similar rights of shareholders of Borrower and will not impose personal liability upon the holder thereof.

 

The following additional terms and conditions shall apply to this Note:

 

 

 

 

Article I. CONVERSION RIGHTS

 

1.1 Conversion Right . Holder shall have the right, in its sole and absolute discretion, from time to time, and at any time following 90-days after the Issue Date, to convert all or any part of the outstanding and unpaid principal amount of this Note into fully paid and non-assessable shares of Common Stock, as such Common Stock exists on the Issue Date, or any shares of capital stock or other securities of Borrower into which such Common Stock shall hereafter be changed or reclassified at the Conversion Price (as defined below) determined as provided herein (a “ Conversion ”). The number of shares of Common Stock to be issued upon each conversion of this Note shall be determined by dividing the Conversion Amount (as defined below) by the applicable Conversion Price then in effect on the date specified in the Notice of Conversion, in the form attached hereto as Exhibit “A” (the “ Notice of Conversion ”), delivered to Borrower by Holder in accordance with Section 1.4 below; provided that the Notice of Conversion is submitted by Fax or E-Mail (or by other means resulting in, or reasonably expected to result in, notice) to Borrower before 11:59 p.m., New York, New York time on such conversion date (the “ Conversion Date ”).

 

The term “ Conversion Amount ” means, with respect to any conversion of this Note, the sum of (1) the principal amount of this Note to be converted in such conversion, plus (2) at Holder’s option, accrued and unpaid interest, if any, on such principal amount at the interest rates provided in this Note to the Conversion Date, provided however, that Borrower shall have the right to pay any or all interest in cash, plus (3) at Holder’s option, Default Interest, if any, on the amounts referred to in the immediately preceding clauses (1) and/or (2), plus (4) any Additional Principal for such Conversions, plus (5) at Holder’s option, any amounts owed to Holder pursuant to any other provision of this Note.

 

1.2 Conversion Price .

 

(a) Calculation of Conversion Price . Subject to the adjustments described herein, the conversion price (the “ Conversion Price ”) shall equal the lesser of (i) 60% multiplied by the lowest Trading Price (as defined below) (representing a discount rate of 40%) during the previous twenty (20) Trading Day period ending on the latest complete Trading Day prior to the Issue Date; and, (ii) the Alternate Conversion Price (as defined herein)(subject to equitable adjustments for stock splits, stock dividends or rights offerings by Borrower relating to Borrower’s securities or the securities of any subsidiary of Borrower, combinations, recapitalization, reclassifications, extraordinary distributions and similar events). The “ Alternate Conversion Price ” shall mean 60% multiplied by the Market Price (as defined herein) (representing a discount rate of 40%). “ Market Price ” means the lowest Trading Price (as defined below) for the Common Stock during the twenty (20) Trading Day period ending on the latest complete Trading Day prior to the Conversion Date. “ Trading Price ” means, for any security as of any date, the lesser of: (i) the lowest trade price on the OTC Pink, OTCQB, or applicable trading market (the “ OTC Market ”) as reported by a reliable reporting service (“ Reporting Service ”) designated by Holder or, if the OTC Market is not the principal trading market for such security, the trading price of such security on the principal securities exchange or trading market where such security is listed or traded or, if no trading price of such security is available in any of the foregoing manners, the average of the trading prices of any market makers for such security that are listed in the “pink sheets” by the National Quotation Bureau, Inc.; or, (ii) the lowest closing bid price on the OTC Market as reported by a Reporting Service designated by Holder or, if the OTC Market is not the principal trading market for such security, the closing bid price of such security on the principal securities exchange or trading market where such security is listed or traded or, if no closing bid price of such security is available in any of the foregoing manners, the average of the closing bid prices of any market makers for such security that are listed in the “pink sheets” by the National Quotation Bureau, Inc. If the Trading Price cannot be calculated for such security on such date in the manner provided above, the Trading Price shall be the fair market value as mutually determined by Borrower and the holders of a majority in interest of the Notes being converted for which the calculation of the Trading Price is required in order to determine the Conversion Price of such Notes. “ Trading Day ” shall mean any day on which the Common Stock is tradable for any period on the OTC Market or on the principal securities exchange or other securities market on which the Common Stock is then being traded. Borrower shall be responsible for the fees of its transfer agent and all DTC fees associated with any such issuance. In the event of any dispute or discrepancy, the records of Holder shall be controlling and determinative in the absence of manifest error.

 

  2  

 

 

(b) Adjustment to Conversion Price . At any time after the Issue Date, (i) if in the case that Borrower’s Common Stock is not deliverable by DWAC (including if Borrower’s transfer agent has a policy prohibiting or limiting delivery of shares of Borrower’s Common Stock specified in a Notice of Conversion) within 90-days after the Issue Date; (ii) if Borrower ceases to be a reporting company pursuant or subject to the Exchange Act; (iii) if Borrower loses a market (including the OTCBB, OTCQB or an equivalent replacement exchange) for its Common Stock; (iv) if Borrower fails to maintain its status as “DTC Eligible” for any reason within 90-days after the Issue Date; (v) if the Note cannot be converted into free trading shares on or after six months from the Issue Date; (vi) if at any time Borrower does not maintain or replenish the Reserved Amount within three (3) business days of the request of Holder; (vii) if Borrower fails to maintain the listing of the Common Stock on at least one of the OTC Markets or an equivalent replacement exchange, the Nasdaq National Market, the Nasdaq Small Cap Market, the New York Stock Exchange, or the NYSE MKT; (viii) if Borrower fails to comply with the reporting requirements necessary to satisfy the availability of Rule 144 to Holder or its assigns, including but not limited to the timely fulfillment of its filing requirements as a fully-reporting issuer registered with the SEC, the requirements for XBRL filings and , the requirements for disclosure of financial statements on its website, within 90-days after the Issue Date; (ix) if Borrower effectuates a reverse split of its Common Stock without ten (10) days prior written notice to Holder; (x) the restatement of any financial statements filed by Borrower with the SEC for any date or period from two years prior to the Issue Date of this Note and until this Note is no longer outstanding, if the result of such restatement would, by comparison to the unrestated financial statement, have constituted a material adverse effect on the rights of Holder with respect to this Note or the Loan Agreement; (xi) any cessation of trading of the Common Stock on at least one of the OTC Markets or an equivalent replacement exchange, the Nasdaq National Market, the Nasdaq Small Cap Market, the New York Stock Exchange, or the NYSE MKT, and such cessation of trading shall continue for a period of five consecutive (5) Trading Days; and/or, (xii) Borrower loses the “bid” price for its Common Stock ($0.0001 on the “Ask” with zero market makers on the “Bid” per Level 2), then Holder shall be entitled to increase, by 10% for each occurrence, cumulative or otherwise, the discount to the Conversion Price for all future conversions under the Note. Holder maintains the option and sole discretion to increase by Five Thousand and No/100 United States Dollars ($5,000) per each occurrence described above (under Holder’s and Borrower’s expectation that any principal amount increase will tack back to the Issue Date) the principal amount of the Note instead of applying further discounts to the Conversion Price. Under no circumstances shall the principal amount exceed an additional Twenty Five Thousand and No/100 United States Dollars ($25,000) or the Conversion Price be less than 30% multiplied by the Market Price due to cumulative effect.

 

(c) DTC Chill . If in the case that the Common Stock is “chilled” for deposit into the DTC system and only eligible for clearing deposit, then an additional 15% discount to the Conversion Price shall apply for all future conversions under all Notes while the “chill” is in effect.

 

(d) Certain Other Conversions . Each time, while this Note is outstanding, and with regard only to any transaction entered into by Borrower after the Issue Date, Borrower enters into a Section 3(a)(9) transaction (including but not limited to the issuance of new promissory notes or of a replacement promissory note), or Section 3(a)(10) transaction, in which any 3 rd party has the right to convert monies owed to that 3 rd party (or receive shares pursuant to a settlement or otherwise) at a discount to market greater than the Alternate Conversion Price in effect at that time (prior to all other applicable adjustments in the Note), then the Alternate Conversion Price shall be automatically adjusted to such greater discount percentage (prior to all applicable adjustments in this Note) until this Note is no longer outstanding. Each time, while this Note is outstanding, Borrower enters into a Section 3(a)(9) transaction (including but not limited to the issuance of new promissory notes or of a replacement promissory note), or Section 3(a)(10) transaction, in which any 3 rd party has a look back period greater than the look back period in effect under the Note at that time (a fifteen (15) Trading Day look back period is contained in Section 1.2(a)), then Holder’s look back period shall automatically be adjusted to such greater number of days until this Note is no longer outstanding. Borrower shall give written notice to Holder, with the adjusted Alternate Conversion Price and/or adjusted look back period (each adjustment that is applicable due to the triggering event), within one (1) business day of an event that requires any adjustment described in the two immediately preceding sentences.

 

  3  

 

 

(e) Par Value Adjustments . To the extent the Conversion Price of Borrower’s Common Stock closes below the par value per share, Borrower will take all steps necessary to solicit the consent of the stockholders to reduce the par value to the lowest value possible under law. Borrower agrees to honor all conversions submitted pending this adjustment unless Holder, in its sole and absolute discretion elects instead to set the Conversion Price to par value for such Conversion(s) and the Conversion Amount for such Conversion(s) shall be increased to include Additional Principal, where “Additional Principal” means such additional amount to be added to the Conversion Amount to the extent necessary to cause the number of Conversion Shares issuable upon such Conversion(s) to equal the same number of Conversion Shares as would have been issued had the Conversion Price not been subject to the minimum price set forth in this Section 1.2(e).

 

(f) Conversion Price During Major Announcements . Notwithstanding anything contained in the preceding section to the contrary, in the event Borrower (i) makes a public announcement that it intends to consolidate or merge with any other corporation (other than a merger in which Borrower is the surviving or continuing corporation and its capital stock is unchanged) or sell or transfer all or substantially all of the assets of Borrower or (ii) any person, group or entity (including Borrower) publicly announces a tender offer to purchase 50% or more of Borrower’s Common Stock (or any other takeover scheme) (the date of the announcement referred to in clause (i) or (ii) is hereinafter referred to as the “ Announcement Date ”), then the Conversion Price shall, effective upon the Announcement Date and continuing through the Adjusted Conversion Price Termination Date (as defined below), be equal to the lower of (x) the Conversion Price which would have been applicable for a Conversion occurring on the Announcement Date and (y) the Conversion Price that would otherwise be in effect. From and after the Adjusted Conversion Price Termination Date, the Conversion Price shall be determined as set forth in this Section. For purposes hereof, “ Adjusted Conversion Price Termination Date ” shall mean, with respect to any proposed transaction or tender offer (or takeover scheme) for which a public announcement as contemplated by this Section has been made, the date upon which Borrower (in the case of clause (i) above) or the person, group or entity (in the case of clause (ii) above) consummates or publicly announces the termination or abandonment of the proposed transaction or tender offer (or takeover scheme) which caused this Section 1.2(f) to become operative.

 

(g) Pro Rata Conversion; Disputes . In the event of a dispute as to the number of shares of Common Stock issuable to Holder in connection with a conversion of this Note, Borrower shall issue to Holder the number of shares of Common Stock not in dispute and resolve such dispute in accordance with Section 4.13.

 

1.3 Authorized Shares . Borrower covenants that during the period the conversion right exists, Borrower will reserve from its authorized and unissued Common Stock a sufficient number of shares, free from preemptive rights, to provide for the issuance of Common Stock upon the full conversion of this Note. Borrower is required at all times to have authorized and reserved three (3) times the number of shares that is actually issuable upon full conversion of the Note (based on the Conversion Price of the Notes in effect from time to time) (the “ Reserved Amount ”). Borrower represents that upon issuance, such shares will be duly and validly issued, fully paid and non-assessable. In addition, if Borrower shall issue any securities or make any change to its capital structure which would change the number of shares of Common Stock into which the Notes shall be convertible at the then current Conversion Price, Borrower shall at the same time make proper provision so that thereafter there shall be a sufficient number of shares of Common Stock authorized and reserved, free from preemptive rights, for conversion of the outstanding Notes.

 

Borrower (i) acknowledges that it has irrevocably instructed its transfer agent to issue certificates for the Common Stock issuable upon conversion of this Note, and (ii) agrees that its issuance of this Note shall constitute full authority to its officers and agents who are charged with the duty of executing stock certificates to execute and issue the necessary certificates for shares of Common Stock in accordance with the terms and conditions of this Note. Notwithstanding the foregoing, in no event shall the Reserved Amount be lower than the initial Reserved Amount, regardless of any prior conversions.

 

  4  

 

 

1.4 Method of Conversion .

 

(a) Mechanics of Conversion . Subject to Section 1.1, this Note may be converted by Holder in whole or in part at any time following 90-days after the Issue Date, by (A) submitting to Borrower a Notice of Conversion (by Fax, E-Mail, or other reasonable means of communication dispatched on the Conversion Date prior to 11:59 p.m., New York, New York time) and (B) subject to Section 1.4(b), surrendering this Note at the principal office of Borrower.

 

(b) Surrender of Note Upon Conversion . Notwithstanding anything to the contrary set forth herein, upon conversion of this Note in accordance with the terms hereof, Holder shall not be required to physically surrender this Note to Borrower unless the entire unpaid principal amount of this Note is so converted. Holder and Borrower shall maintain records showing the principal amount so converted and the dates of such conversions or shall use such other method, reasonably satisfactory to Holder and Borrower, so as not to require physical surrender of this Note upon each such conversion. In the event of any dispute or discrepancy, such records of Borrower shall, prima facie, be controlling and determinative in the absence of manifest error. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if any portion of this Note is converted as aforesaid, Holder may not transfer this Note unless Holder first physically surrenders this Note to Borrower, whereupon Borrower will forthwith issue and deliver upon the order of Holder a new Note of like tenor, registered as Holder (upon payment by Holder of any applicable transfer taxes) may request, representing in the aggregate the remaining unpaid principal amount of this Note. Holder and any assignee, by acceptance of this Note, acknowledge and agree that, by reason of the provisions of this paragraph, following conversion of a portion of this Note, the unpaid and unconverted principal amount of this Note represented by this Note may be less than the amount stated on the face hereof.

 

(c) Payment of Taxes . Borrower shall not be required to pay any tax which may be payable in respect of any transfer involved in the issue and delivery of shares of Common Stock or other securities or property on conversion of this Note in a name other than that of Holder (or in street name), and Borrower shall not be required to issue or deliver any such shares or other securities or property unless and until the person or persons (other than Holder or the custodian in whose street name such shares are to be held for Holder’s account) requesting the issuance thereof shall have paid to Borrower the amount of any such tax or shall have established to the satisfaction of Borrower that such tax has been paid.

 

(d) Delivery of Common Stock Upon Conversion . Upon receipt by Borrower from Holder of a Fax or E-Mail (or other reasonable means of communication) of a Notice of Conversion meeting the requirements for conversion as provided in this Section 1.4, Borrower shall issue and deliver or cause to be issued and delivered to or upon the order of Holder certificates for the Common Stock issuable upon such conversion within three (3) business days after such receipt (the “ Deadline ”) (and, solely in the case of conversion of the entire unpaid principal amount hereof, surrender of this Note) in accordance with the terms hereof and the Loan Agreement.

 

(e) Obligation of Borrower to Deliver Common Stock . Upon receipt by Borrower of a Notice of Conversion, Holder shall be deemed to be the holder of record of the Common Stock issuable upon such conversion, the outstanding principal amount and the amount of accrued and unpaid interest on this Note shall be reduced to reflect such conversion, and, unless Borrower defaults on its obligations under this Article I, all rights with respect to the portion of this Note being so converted shall forthwith terminate except the right to receive the Common Stock or other securities, cash or other assets, as herein provided, on such conversion. If Holder shall have given a Notice of Conversion as provided herein, Borrower’s obligation to issue and deliver the certificates for Common Stock shall be absolute and unconditional, irrespective of the absence of any action by Holder to enforce the same, any waiver or consent with respect to any provision thereof, the recovery of any judgment against any person or any action to enforce the same, any failure or delay in the enforcement of any other obligation of Borrower to the holder of record, or any setoff, counterclaim, recoupment, limitation or termination, or any breach or alleged breach by Holder of any obligation to Borrower, and irrespective of any other circumstance which might otherwise limit such obligation of Borrower to Holder in connection with such conversion. The Conversion Date specified in the Notice of Conversion shall be the Conversion Date so long as the Notice of Conversion is received by Borrower before 11:59 p.m., New York, New York time, on such date.

(f) Delivery of Common Stock by Electronic Transfer . In lieu of delivering physical certificates representing the Common Stock issuable upon conversion, provided Borrower is participating in the Depository Trust Company (“ DTC ”) Fast Automated Securities Transfer (“ FAST ”) program, upon request of Holder and its compliance with the provisions contained in Section 1.1 and in this Section 1.4, Borrower shall use its commercially reasonable best efforts to cause its transfer agent to electronically transmit the Common Stock issuable upon conversion to Holder by crediting the account of Holder’s Prime Broker with DTC through its Deposit Withdrawal At Custodian (“ DWAC ”) system.

 

(g) Failure to Deliver Common Stock Prior to the Deadline . Without in any way limiting Holder’s right to pursue other remedies, including actual damages and/or equitable relief, the parties agree that if delivery of the Common Stock issuable upon conversion of this Note is not delivered by the Deadline Borrower shall pay to Holder $2,000 per day in cash, for each day beyond the Deadline that Borrower fails to deliver such Common Stock until Borrower issues and delivers a certificate to Holder or credit Holder’s balance account with OTC for the number of shares of Common Stock to which Holder is entitled upon such Holder’s conversion of any Conversion Amount (under Holder’s and Borrower’s expectation that any damages will tack back to the Issue Date). Such cash amount shall be paid to Holder by the fifth day of the month following the month in which it has accrued or, at the option of Holder (by written notice to Borrower by the first day of the month following the month in which it has accrued), shall be added to the principal amount of this Note, in which event interest shall accrue thereon in accordance with the terms of this Note and such additional principal amount shall be convertible into Common Stock in accordance with the terms of this Note. Borrower agrees that the right to convert is a valuable right to Holder. The damages resulting from a failure, attempt to frustrate, and interference with such conversion right are difficult if not impossible to qualify. Accordingly the parties acknowledge that the liquidated damages provision contained in this Section 1.4(g) are justified.

 

(h) Rescindment of a Notice of Conversion . If (i) Borrower fails to respond to Holder within one (1) business day from the Conversion Date confirming the details of Notice of Conversion; (ii) Borrower fails to provide any of the shares of Borrower’s Common Stock requested in the Notice of Conversion within three (3) business days from the Conversion Date specified therein; (iii) Holder is unable to procure a legal opinion required to have the shares of Borrower’s Common Stock issued unrestricted and/or deposited to sell for any reason related to Borrower’s standing; (iv) Holder is unable to deposit the shares of Borrower’s Common Stock requested in the Notice of Conversion for any reason related to Borrower’s standing; (v) at any time after a missed Deadline, at Holder’s sole discretion; or, (vi) if, within three (3) business days of the transmittal of the Notice of Conversion to Borrower, the Common Stock has a closing bid which is 5% or lower than that set forth in the Notice of Conversion, then Holder maintains the option and sole discretion to rescind the applicable Notice of Conversion (“ Rescindment ”) pursuant to which such Conversion Shares were issuable with a “Notice of Rescindment”. This Note shall remain convertible before and after the Maturity Date hereof until this Note is repaid or converted in full.

 

1.5 Concerning the Shares . The shares of Common Stock issuable upon conversion of this Note may not be sold or transferred unless (i) such shares are sold pursuant to an effective registration statement under the Act or (ii) Borrower or its transfer agent shall have been furnished with an opinion of counsel (which opinion shall be in form, substance and scope customary for opinions of counsel in comparable transactions) to the effect that the shares to be sold or transferred may be sold or transferred pursuant to an exemption from such registration or (iii) such shares are sold or transferred pursuant to Rule 144 under the Act (or a successor rule) (“ Rule 144 ”) or (iv) such shares are transferred to an “affiliate” (as defined in Rule 144) of Borrower who agrees to sell or otherwise transfer the shares only in accordance with this Section 1.5 and who is an accredited investor, as defined under the Act. Except as otherwise provided in the Loan Agreement (and subject to the removal provisions set forth below), until such time as the shares of Common Stock issuable upon conversion of this Note have been registered under the Act or otherwise may be sold pursuant to Rule 144 without any restriction as to the number of securities as of a particular date that can then be immediately sold, each certificate for shares of Common Stock issuable upon conversion of this Note that has not been so included in an effective registration statement or that has not been sold pursuant to an effective registration statement or an exemption that permits removal of the legend, shall bear a legend substantially in the following form, as appropriate:

 

  6  

 

 

“NEITHER THE ISSUANCE AND SALE OF THE SECURITIES REPRESENTED BY THIS CERTIFICATE NOR THE SECURITIES INTO WHICH THESE SECURITIES ARE EXERCISABLE HAVE BEEN REGISTERED UNDER THE SECURITIES ACT OF 1933, AS AMENDED, OR APPLICABLE STATE SECURITIES LAWS. THE SECURITIES MAY NOT BE OFFERED FOR SALE, SOLD, TRANSFERRED OR ASSIGNED (I) IN THE ABSENCE OF (A) AN EFFECTIVE REGISTRATION STATEMENT FOR THE SECURITIES UNDER THE SECURITIES ACT OF 1933, AS AMENDED, OR (B) AN OPINION OF COUNSEL (WHICH COUNSEL SHALL BE SELECTED BY THE HOLDER), IN A GENERALLY ACCEPTABLE FORM, THAT REGISTRATION IS NOT REQUIRED UNDER SAID ACT OR (II) UNLESS SOLD PURSUANT TO RULE 144 OR RULE 144A UNDER SAID ACT. NOTWITHSTANDING THE FOREGOING, THE SECURITIES MAY BE PLEDGED IN CONNECTION WITH A BONA FIDE MARGIN ACCOUNT OR OTHER LOAN OR FINANCING ARRANGEMENT SECURED BY THE SECURITIES.”

 

The legend set forth above shall be removed and Borrower shall issue to Holder a new certificate therefore free of any transfer legend if (i) Borrower or its transfer agent shall have received an opinion of counsel, in form, substance and scope customary for opinions of counsel in comparable transactions, to the effect that a public sale or transfer of such Common Stock may be made without registration under the Act, which opinion shall be reasonably accepted by Borrower so that the sale or transfer is effected or (ii) in the case of the Common Stock issuable upon conversion of this Note, such security is registered for sale by Holder under an effective registration statement filed under the Act or otherwise may be sold pursuant to Rule 144 without any restriction as to the number of securities as of a particular date that can then be immediately sold. In the event that Borrower does not accept the opinion of counsel provided by the Buyer with respect to the transfer of Securities pursuant to an exemption from registration, such as Rule 144 or Regulation S, at the Deadline, it will be considered an Event of Default pursuant to Section 3.1 of the Note.

 

1.6 Effect of Certain Events .

 

(a) Effect of Merger, Consolidation, Etc . At the option of Holder, the sale, conveyance or disposition of all or substantially all of the assets of Borrower, the effectuation by Borrower of a transaction or series of related transactions in which more than 50% of the voting power of Borrower is disposed of, or the consolidation, merger or other business combination of Borrower with or into any other Person (as defined below) or Persons when Borrower is not the survivor shall either: (i) be deemed to be an Event of Default (as defined in Article III) pursuant to which Borrower shall be required to pay to Holder upon the consummation of and as a condition to such transaction an amount equal to the Default Amount (as defined in Article III) or (ii) be treated pursuant to Section 1.6(b) hereof. “ Person ” shall mean any individual, corporation, limited liability company, partnership, association, trust or other entity or organization.

 

(b) Adjustment Due to Merger, Consolidation, Etc . If, at any time when this Note is issued and outstanding and prior to conversion of all amounts owed under the Note, there shall be any merger, consolidation, exchange of shares, recapitalization, reorganization, or other similar event, as a result of which shares of Common Stock of Borrower shall be changed into the same or a different number of shares of another class or classes of stock or securities of Borrower or another entity, or in case of any sale or conveyance of all or substantially all of the assets of Borrower other than in connection with a plan of complete liquidation of Borrower, then Holder of this Note shall thereafter have the right to receive upon conversion of this Note, upon the basis and upon the terms and conditions specified herein and in lieu of the shares of Common Stock immediately theretofore issuable upon conversion, such stock, securities or assets which Holder would have been entitled to receive in such transaction had this Note been converted in full immediately prior to such transaction (without regard to any limitations on conversion set forth herein), and in any such case appropriate provisions shall be made with respect to the rights and interests of Holder of this Note to the end that the provisions hereof (including, without limitation, provisions for adjustment of the Conversion Price and of the number of shares issuable upon conversion of the Note) shall thereafter be applicable, as nearly as may be practicable in relation to any securities or assets thereafter deliverable upon the conversion hereof. Borrower shall not affect any transaction described in this Section 1.6(b) unless (a) it first gives, to the extent practicable, thirty (30) days prior written notice (but in any event at least fifteen (15) days prior written notice) of the record date of the special meeting of shareholders to approve, or if there is no such record date, the consummation of, such merger, consolidation, exchange of shares, recapitalization, reorganization or other similar event or sale of assets (during which time Holder shall be entitled to convert this Note) and (b) the resulting successor or acquiring entity (if not Borrower) assumes by written instrument the obligations of this Section 1.6(b). The above provisions shall similarly apply to successive consolidations, mergers, sales, transfers, or share exchanges.

 

  7  

 

 

(c) Adjustment Due to Distribution . If Borrower shall declare or make any distribution of its assets (or rights to acquire its assets) to holders of Common Stock as a dividend, stock repurchase, by way of return of capital or otherwise (including any dividend or distribution to Borrower’s shareholders in cash or shares (or rights to acquire shares) of capital stock of a subsidiary (i.e., a spin-off)) (a “ Distribution ”), then Holder of this Note shall be entitled, upon any conversion of this Note after the date of record for determining shareholders entitled to such Distribution, to receive the amount of such assets which would have been payable to Holder with respect to the shares of Common Stock issuable upon such conversion had such Holder been the holder of such shares of Common Stock on the record date for the determination of shareholders entitled to such Distribution.

 

(d) Adjustment Due to Dilutive Issuance . If, at any time when any Notes are issued and outstanding, Borrower issues or sells, or in accordance with this Section 1.6(d) hereof is deemed to have issued or sold, except for shares of Common Stock issued directly to vendors or suppliers of Borrower in satisfaction of amounts owed to such vendors or suppliers (provided, however, that such vendors or suppliers shall not have an arrangement to transfer, sell or assign such shares of Common Stock prior to the issuance of such shares), any shares of Common Stock for no consideration or for a consideration per share (before deduction of reasonable expenses or commissions or underwriting discounts or allowances in connection therewith) less than the Conversion Price in effect on the date of such issuance (or deemed issuance) of such shares of Common Stock (a “ Dilutive Issuance ”), then immediately upon the Dilutive Issuance, the Conversion Price will be reduced to the amount of the consideration per share received by Borrower in such Dilutive Issuance.

 

Borrower shall be deemed to have issued or sold shares of Common Stock if Borrower in any manner issues or grants any warrants, rights or options (not including employee stock option plans), whether or not immediately exercisable, to subscribe for or to purchase Common Stock or other securities convertible into or exchangeable for Common Stock (“ Convertible Securities ”) (such warrants, rights and options to purchase Common Stock or Convertible Securities are hereinafter referred to as “ Options ”) and the price per share for which Common Stock is issuable upon the exercise of such Options is less than the Conversion Price then in effect, then the Conversion Price shall be equal to such price per share. For purposes of the preceding sentence, the “price per share for which Common Stock is issuable upon the exercise of such Options” is determined by dividing (i) the total amount, if any, received or receivable by Borrower as consideration for the issuance or granting of all such Options, plus the minimum aggregate amount of additional consideration, if any, payable to Borrower upon the exercise of all such Options, plus, in the case of Convertible Securities issuable upon the exercise of such Options, the minimum aggregate amount of additional consideration payable upon the conversion or exchange thereof at the time such Convertible Securities first become convertible or exchangeable, by (ii) the maximum total number of shares of Common Stock issuable upon the exercise of all such Options (assuming full conversion of Convertible Securities, if applicable). No further adjustment to the Conversion Price will be made upon the actual issuance of such Common Stock upon the exercise of such Options or upon the conversion or exchange of Convertible Securities issuable upon exercise of such Options.

 

  8  

 

 

Additionally, Borrower shall be deemed to have issued or sold shares of Common Stock if Borrower in any manner issues or sells any Convertible Securities, whether or not immediately convertible (other than where the same are issuable upon the exercise of Options), and the price per share for which Common Stock is issuable upon such conversion or exchange is less than the Conversion Price then in effect, then the Conversion Price shall be equal to such price per share. For the purposes of the preceding sentence, the “price per share for which Common Stock is issuable upon such conversion or exchange” is determined by dividing (i) the total amount, if any, received or receivable by Borrower as consideration for the issuance or sale of all such Convertible Securities, plus the minimum aggregate amount of additional consideration, if any, payable to Borrower upon the conversion or exchange thereof at the time such Convertible Securities first become convertible or exchangeable, by (ii) the maximum total number of shares of Common Stock issuable upon the conversion or exchange of all such Convertible Securities. No further adjustment to the Conversion Price will be made upon the actual issuance of such Common Stock upon conversion or exchange of such Convertible Securities.

 

(e) Purchase Rights . If, at any time when this Note remains issued and outstanding, Borrower issues any convertible securities or rights to purchase stock, warrants, securities or other property (the “ Purchase Rights ”) pro rata to the record holders of any class of Common Stock, then Holder of this Note will be entitled to acquire, upon the terms applicable to such Purchase Rights, the aggregate Purchase Rights which such Holder could have acquired if such Holder had held the number of shares of Common Stock acquirable upon complete conversion of this Note (without regard to any limitations on conversion contained herein) immediately before the date on which a record is taken for the grant, issuance or sale of such Purchase Rights or, if no such record is taken, the date as of which the record holders of Common Stock are to be determined for the grant, issue or sale of such Purchase Rights.

 

(f) Notice of Adjustments . Upon the occurrence of each adjustment or readjustment of the Conversion Price as a result of the events described in this Section 1.6, Borrower, at its expense, shall promptly compute such adjustment or readjustment and prepare and furnish to Holder a certificate setting forth such adjustment or readjustment and showing in detail the facts upon which such adjustment or readjustment is based. Borrower shall, upon the written request at any time of Holder, furnish to such Holder a like certificate setting forth (i) such adjustment or readjustment, (ii) the Conversion Price at the time in effect and (iii) the number of shares of Common Stock and the amount, if any, of other securities or property which at the time would be received upon conversion of the Note.

 

1.7 Status as Shareholder . Upon submission of a Notice of Conversion by Holder, (i) the shares covered thereby (other than the shares, if any, which cannot be issued because their issuance would exceed such Holder’s allocated portion of the Reserved Amount or Maximum Share Amount) shall be deemed converted into shares of Common Stock and (ii) Holder’s rights as a Holder of such converted portion of this Note shall cease and terminate, excepting only the right to receive certificates for such shares of Common Stock and to any remedies provided herein or otherwise available at law or in equity to such Holder because of a failure by Borrower to comply with the terms of this Note. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if a Holder has not received certificates for all shares of Common Stock prior to the third (3rd) business day after the expiration of the Deadline with respect to a conversion of any portion of this Note for any reason, then (unless Holder otherwise elects to retain its status as a holder of Common Stock by so notifying Borrower) Holder shall regain the rights of a Holder of this Note with respect to such unconverted portions of this Note and Borrower shall, as soon as practicable, return such unconverted Note to Holder or, if the Note has not been surrendered, adjust its records to reflect that such portion of this Note has not been converted. In all cases, Holder shall retain all of its rights and remedies (including, without limitation, (i) the right to receive Conversion Default Payments pursuant to Section 1.3 to the extent required thereby for such Conversion Default and any subsequent Conversion Default and (ii) the right to have the Conversion Price with respect to subsequent conversions determined in accordance with Section 1.3) for Borrower’s failure to convert this Note.

 

1.8 Repayment . Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Note, subject to the terms of this Section 1.8, at any time Borrower shall have the right, exercisable on not less than five (5) Trading Days prior written notice to the Holder of this Note, to repay the outstanding balance on this Note (principal, accrued interest, and all other amounts due hereunder), in full. Any notice of repayment hereunder (a “ Repayment Notice ”) shall be delivered to the Holder and shall state: (1) that the Borrower is exercising its right to repay the Note; and (2) the date of repayment which shall be not more than ten (10) Trading Days from the date of the Repayment Notice. On the date fixed for repayment (the “ Repayment Date ”), the Borrower shall make payment of the Repayment Amount (as defined below) to or upon the order of the Holder as specified by the Holder in writing to the Borrower at least one (1) business day prior to the Repayment Date. If the Borrower exercises its right to repay the Note, the Borrower shall make payment to the Holder of an amount in cash (the “ Repayment Amount ”) equal to the Repayment Factor (as defined below), multiplied by the sum of: (i) the then outstanding principal amount of this Note; (ii) accrued and unpaid interest on the unpaid principal amount of this Note to the Repayment Date; (iii) Default Interest, if any, on the amounts referred to in clauses (i) and (ii); and, (iv) all other amounts owed to Holder under this Note. For purposes hereof, the “ Repayment Factor ” shall equal the percentage set forth below with respect to each Repayment Date beside such Repayment Factor:

 

  9  

 

 

The Repayment Factor is:   If the Optional Repayment Date occurs:
100%   1-90 days after the Issue Date
110%   91-150 days after the Issue Date
115%   151-180 days after the Issue Date
125%   181 days and beyond after the Issue Date

4.4 Assignability . Holder may assign or transfer this Note to any transferee at its sole discretion. This Note shall be binding upon Borrower and its successors and assigns, and shall inure to be the benefit of Holder and its successors and assigns. Each transferee of this Note must be an “accredited investor” (as defined in Rule 501(a) of the Act).

Holder and any assignee, by acceptance of this Note, acknowledge and agree that following conversion of a portion of this Note, the unpaid and unconverted principal amount of this Note represented by this Note may be less than the amount stated on the face hereof.

 

4.5 Cost of Collection . Upon an Event of Default, Borrower shall pay Holder hereof reasonable costs of collection, including reasonable attorneys’ fees.

 

4.6 Governing Law . This Note shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of the State of New York without regard to principles of conflicts of laws. The parties hereby warrant and represent that the selection of New York law as governing under this Note (i) has a reasonable nexus to each of the parties and to the transactions contemplated by the Note; and (ii) does not offend any public policy of New York, Virginia, or of any other state, federal, or other jurisdiction. Any action brought by either party against the other arising out of or related to this Note, or any other agreements between the parties, shall be commenced only in the state or federal courts of general jurisdiction located in the City of New York, State of New York. The parties to this Note hereby irrevocably waive any objection to jurisdiction and venue of any action instituted hereunder and shall not assert any defense based on lack of jurisdiction or venue or based upon forum non conveniens .

 

BORROWER AND HOLDER EACH HEREBY IRREVOCABLY WAIVES ANY RIGHT IT MAY HAVE TO, AND AGREES NOT TO REQUEST, A JURY TRIAL FOR THE ADJUDICATION OF ANY DISPUTE HEREUNDER OR IN CONNECTION WITH OR ARISING OUT OF THIS NOTE OR ANY TRANSACTION CONTEMPLATED HEREBY .

 

The prevailing party shall be entitled to recover from the other party its reasonable attorney’s fees and costs. In the event that any provision of this Note or any other agreement delivered in connection herewith is invalid or unenforceable under any applicable statute or rule of law, then such provision shall be deemed inoperative to the extent that it may conflict therewith and shall be deemed modified to conform with such statute or rule of law. Any such provision which may prove invalid or unenforceable under any law shall not affect the validity or enforceability of any other provision of any agreement. Each party hereby irrevocably waives personal service of process and consents to process being served in any suit, action or proceeding in connection with this Note or any other related transaction document by mailing a copy thereof via registered or certified mail or overnight delivery (with evidence of delivery) to such party at the address in effect for notices to it under this Note and agrees that such service shall constitute good and sufficient service of process and notice thereof. Nothing contained herein shall be deemed to limit in any way any right to serve process in any other manner permitted by law.​

 

4.7 Certain Amounts . Whenever pursuant to this Note Borrower is required to pay an amount in excess of the outstanding principal amount (or the portion thereof required to be paid at that time) plus accrued and unpaid interest plus Default Interest on such interest, Borrower and Holder agree that the actual damages to Holder from the receipt of cash payment on this Note may be difficult to determine and the amount to be so paid by Borrower represents stipulated damages and not a penalty and is intended to compensate Holder in part for loss of the opportunity to convert this Note and to earn a return from the sale of shares of Common Stock acquired upon conversion of this Note at a price in excess of the price paid for such shares pursuant to this Note. Borrower and Holder hereby agree that such amount of stipulated damages is not plainly disproportionate to the possible loss to Holder from the receipt of a cash payment without the opportunity to convert this Note into shares of Common Stock.

 

  14  

 

 

4.8 Loan Agreement . By its acceptance of this Note, each party agrees to be bound by all terms and conditions of the Loan Agreement.

 

4.9 Notice of Corporate Events . Except as otherwise provided below, Holder shall have no rights as a shareholder of Borrower unless and only to the extent that it converts this Note into Common Stock. Borrower shall provide Holder with prior notification of any meeting of Borrower’s shareholders (and copies of proxy materials and other information sent to shareholders). In the event of any taking by Borrower of a record of its shareholders for the purpose of determining shareholders who are entitled to receive payment of any dividend or other distribution, any right to subscribe for, purchase or otherwise acquire (including by way of merger, consolidation, reclassification or recapitalization) any share of any class or any other securities or property, or to receive any other right, or for the purpose of determining shareholders who are entitled to vote in connection with any proposed sale, lease or conveyance of all or substantially all of the assets of Borrower or any proposed liquidation, dissolution or winding up of Borrower, Borrower shall mail a notice to Holder, at least twenty (20) days prior to the record date specified therein (or thirty (30) days prior to the consummation of the transaction or event, whichever is earlier), of the date on which any such record is to be taken for the purpose of such dividend, distribution, right or other event, and a brief statement regarding the amount and character of such dividend, distribution, right or other event to the extent known at such time. Borrower shall make a public announcement of any event requiring notification to Holder hereunder substantially simultaneously with the notification to Holder in accordance with the terms of this Section 4.9 including, but not limited to, name changes, recapitalizations, etc. as soon as possible under law.

 

4.10 Usury . Notwithstanding any provision in this Note or the related transaction documents to the contrary, the total liability for payments of interest and payments in the nature of interest, including, without limitation, all charges, fees, exactions, or other sums which may at any time be deemed to be interest, shall not exceed the limit imposed by the usury laws of the jurisdiction governing this Note or any other applicable law. In the event the total liability of payments of interest and payments in the nature of interest, including, without limitation, all charges, fees, exactions or other sums which may at any time be deemed to be interest, shall, for any reason whatsoever, result in an effective rate of interest, which for any month or other interest payment period exceeds the limit imposed by the usury laws of the jurisdiction governing this Note, all sums in excess of those lawfully collectible as interest for the period in question shall, without further agreement or notice by, between, or to any party hereto, be applied to the reduction of the outstanding principal balance due hereunder immediately upon receipt of such sums by Holder hereof, with the same force and effect as though the Company had specifically designated such excess sums to be so applied to the reduction of the principal balance then outstanding, and Holder hereof had agreed to accept such sums as a penalty-free payment of principal; provided, however, that Holder may, at any time and from time to time, elect, by notice in writing to the Company, to waive, reduce, or limit the collection of any sums in excess of those lawfully collectible as interest, rather than accept such sums as a prepayment of the principal balance then outstanding. It is the intention of the parties that the Company does not intend or expect to pay, nor does Holder intend or expect to charge or collect any interest under this Note greater than the highest non-usurious rate of interest which may be charged under applicable law.

 

4.11 Remedies . Borrower acknowledges that a breach by it of its obligations hereunder will cause irreparable harm to Holder, by vitiating the intent and purpose of the transaction contemplated hereby. Accordingly, Borrower acknowledges that the remedy at law for a breach of its obligations under this Note will be inadequate and agrees, in the event of a breach or threatened breach by Borrower of the provisions of this Note, that Holder shall be entitled, in addition to all other available remedies at law or in equity, and in addition to the penalties assessable herein, to an injunction or injunctions restraining, preventing or curing any breach of this Note and to enforce specifically the terms and provisions thereof, without the necessity of showing economic loss and without any bond or other security being required. No provision of this Note shall alter or impair the obligation of Borrower, which is absolute and unconditional, to pay the principal of, and interest on, this Note at the time, place, and rate, and in the form, herein prescribed.

 

  15  

 

 

4.12 Severability . In the event that any provision of this Note is invalid or unenforceable under any applicable statute or rule of law, then such provision shall be deemed inoperative to the extent that it may conflict therewith and shall be deemed modified to conform to such statute or rule of law. Any provision hereof which may prove invalid or unenforceable under any law shall not affect the validity or enforceability of any other provision hereof.

 

4.13 Specific Dispute Resolution . In the case of a dispute as to the determination of the Conversion Price, Conversion Amount, any prepayment amount or Default Amount, Default Sum, Issue, Closing or Maturity Date, the closing bid price, or fair market value (as the case may be) or the arithmetic calculation of the Conversion Price or the applicable prepayment amount(s) (as the case may be), Borrower or Holder shall submit the disputed determinations or arithmetic calculations via Fax or E-Mail (i) within two (2) Business Days after receipt of the applicable notice giving rise to such dispute to Borrower or Holder or (ii) if no notice gave rise to such dispute, at any time after Holder learned of the circumstances giving rise to such dispute. If Holder and Borrower are unable to agree upon such determination or calculation within two (2) Business Days of such disputed determination or arithmetic calculation (as the case may be) being submitted to Borrower or Holder, then Borrower shall, within two (2) Business Days, submit via Fax or E-Mail (a) the disputed determination of the Conversion Price, the closing bid price, the or fair market value (as the case may be) to an independent, reputable investment bank selected by Borrower and approved by Holder or (b) the disputed arithmetic calculation of the Conversion Price, Conversion Amount, any prepayment amount or Default Amount, Default Sum to an independent, outside accountant selected by Holder that is reasonably acceptable to Borrower. Borrower shall cause at its expense the investment bank or the accountant to perform the determinations or calculations and notify Borrower and Holder of the results no later than ten (10) Business Days from the time it receives such disputed determinations or calculations. Such investment bank’s or accountant’s determination or calculation shall be binding upon all parties absent demonstrable error.

 

4.14 Terms of Future Financings . So long as this Note is outstanding, upon any issuance by Borrower or any of its subsidiaries of any security with any term more favorable to the holder of such security or with a term in favor of the holder of such security that was not similarly provided to Holder in this Note, then Borrower shall notify Holder of such additional or more favorable term and such term, at Holder’s option, shall become a part of the transaction documents with 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.

 

4.15 Disclosure . Upon receipt or delivery by the Company of any notice in accordance with the terms of this Note, unless the Company has in good faith determined that the matters relating to such notice do not constitute material, non-public information relating to the Company or any of its Subsidiaries, the Company shall within one (1) Trading Day after any such receipt or delivery, publicly disclose such material, non-public information on a Current Report on Form 8-K or otherwise. In the event that the Company believes that a notice contains material, non-public information relating to the Company or any of its Subsidiaries, the Company so shall indicate to such Holder contemporaneously with delivery of such notice, and in the absence of any such indication, Holder shall be allowed to presume that all matters relating to such notice do not constitute material, non-public information relating to the Company or its Subsidiaries.
