DESCRIPTION OF BUSINESS

 

Overview

 

Sylios Corp (f/k/a US Natural Gas Corp) (“Sylios”, the “Company”, “we”, “us”, or “our”) was organized as a Florida Corporation on March 28, 2008 under the name of Adventure Energy, Inc.

 

Sylios Corp is a holding corporation, which through its subsidiaries, has operations engaged in the exploration and development of oil and natural gas properties, purchase of royalty and working interest units in producing properties (oil and natural gas) and alternative land development projects. The Company maintains equity investments in our two spin-offs (The Greater Cannabis Company, Inc. (“GCAN”) and AMDAQ Corp (“AMDAQ”) ) that focus on the development and commercialization of cannabinoid delivery systems and blockchain technology, respectively. As of the date of this filing, the Company maintains a 1.81% ownership of the issued and outstanding common shares of GCAN and a 9.84% ownership of the issued and outstanding common shares of AMDAQ.

 

Our operations are currently divided amongst three wholly owned subsidiaries, US Natural Gas Corp KY (“KY”), US Natural Gas Corp WV (“WV”) (formerly Wilon Resources, Inc.) and E 3 Petroleum Corp (“E3”). During the fiscal year ended 2017, the Company spun-off its two formerly owned subsidiaries, The Greater Cannabis Company, Inc. and AMDAQ Corp. In addition, in June 2017 the Company sold its wholly owned subsidiary Bud Bank, Inc.

 

Subsidiaries

 

US Natural Gas Corp WV:

 

US Natural Gas Corp WV (“WV”) (formerly Wilon Resources, Inc.) is a wholly owned subsidiary that was formed in Tennessee and acquired in June 2010.

 

WV’s operations were based in Wayne County, West Virginia and primarily concentrated on the production of commercially viable natural gas. Through WV, the Company seeks to identify and acquire “non-operator” royalty or working interest participations in natural gas wells that are in production. As of the date of this filing, the Company does not own any real property, royalty or working interest participations in WV.

 

US Natural Gas Corp KY:

 

US Natural Gas Corp KY (“KY”) is a wholly owned subsidiary formed in the State of Florida on June 8, 2010. KY’s operations concentrate on oil producing activities mainly in South-Central Kentucky.

 

Our business strategy is to economically increase reserves, production, and the sale of natural gas and oil from existing and acquired properties in the Appalachian Basin and elsewhere, in order to maximize shareholders’ return over the long term. Our strategic location in Kentucky enables us to actively pursue the acquisition and development of producing properties in that area that will enhance our revenue base without proportional increases in overhead costs.

 

We expect to generate long-term reserve and production growth through drilling activities and further acquisitions. We believe that our management’s experience and expertise will enable us to identify, evaluate, and develop natural gas projects.

 

We have acquired and intend to acquire additional producing oil and gas property rights where we believe significant additional value can be created. Our Management is primarily interested in developmental properties where some combination of these factors exist: (1) opportunities for long production life with stable production levels; (2) geological formations with multiple producing horizons; (3) substantial exploitation potential; and (4) relatively low capital investment production costs.

 

The Company currently holds the following royalties in certain wells in the State of Kentucky and Tennessee. The Company is not required to cover the wells on its blanket bond nor is it required to expend any future capital on maintenance.

The GREEN and JAMES PHARIS wells are covered under the bond of Keller Energy, LLC (“Keller”). Keller is currently re-entering each of the wells to replace downhole pumping parts, flowlines and certain tank batteries. The Company anticipates that each of the wells will be placed into production during the third quarter of 2019.

 

The wells sold to Soligen Technologies, Inc. (“Soligen”) are still under the bond of E 3 Petroleum Corp, a wholly owned subsidiary of the Company. Soligen’s plan is to re-enter each well to determine what downhole work is needed to place the wells back into production and to stimulate increased production. We anticipate that 3-4 of the wells will be re-entered, re-worked and placed into production by the end of the fourth calendar quarter of 2019. Please see NOTE D - OIL AND GAS ROYALTY INTERESTS and NOTE E – OIL AND GAS OPERATING BONDS for further information.

On May 10, 2018, the Company’s subsidiary, US Natural Gas Corp KY (“KY”), entered into an Asset Purchase Agreement with Soligen Technologies, Inc. (“SGTN”) for the sale of 13 previously producing crude and natural gas wells, approximately 1700 acres of leaseholds, tank batteries and gathering systems (collectively the “assets”) all located in multiple counties throughout the State of Kentucky. Under the terms of the Agreement, SGTN acquired the assets for consideration of One Hundred Forty Thousand and no/100 Dollars ($140,000). At Closing, SGTN assigned KY a royalty for payment out of production, whereby KY shall receive thirty percent (30%) of the gross proceeds of production from the acquired assets. In addition, KY shall receive ten percent (10%) of the monthly gross proceeds of production from any new drilled wells on the acquired leases. KY shall receive payments from production until such time that KY has received a total of One Hundred Forty Thousand and no/100 Dollars ($140,000). Please see NOTE D - OIL AND GAS ROYALTY INTERESTS for further information.

E 3 Petroleum Corp:

 

E 3 Petroleum Corp (“E3”) is a wholly owned subsidiary formed in the State of Florida on February 8, 2010. E3’s sole business activity is to act as the bonding entity for the Company’s oil and natural gas wells. As a bonding entity, E3 places funds with the Kentucky Department of Natural Resources to cover the reclamation costs in the event the wells under its bond are deemed abandoned by the State of Kentucky. Please see NOTE E – OIL AND GAS OPERATING BONDS for further information.

 

Land Development

 

On October 6, 2018, the Company entered into a Commercial Real Estate Purchase and Sale Agreement with the Company’s President for the purchase of a .92 acre of land located in Bibb County, GA. The purchase price for the land was $40,000. On this same date, the Company entered into an Asset Purchase Agreement with its President for the purchase of all architectural and engineering plans for the development of a storage facility to be constructed on the .92 acre of land. The purchase price for these assets was $35,000.

 

On October 6, 2018, the Company issued its President a Secured Note in the amount of $75,000. The Note has a term of one year and bears interest at 3%. The Company’s first payment in the amount of $15,000 was due within 90 days of an effective reverse stock split. As of the date of issuance of these Financial statements, except for a $5,000 payment made by the Company to the Company’s president on November 12, 2018, the Company has not made any payment against the Note.

 

The Company’s plans are to develop a 21,000 square foot self-storage facility containing 140-160 units plus retail units to lease. There are no guarantees that the Company will be able to secure financing to construct the facility.

 

Equity h oldings in which we hold >5% ownership of the issued and outstanding common stock

 

AMDAQ Corp:

 

AMDAQ Corp (“AMDAQ”) (formerly E 2 Investments, LLC) was a wholly owned subsidiary of the Company until October 2, 2017, payment date for the spin-off. At December 31, 2018, the Company held 2,956,650 shares of common stock of AMDAQ. As of the date of this filing, the Company holds 2,956,650 (9.84% ownership of the issued and outstanding common shares) shares of common stock of AMDAQ .

 

6
 

 

The Company’s business model from inception through August 31, 2017 concentrated on alternative investments including but not limited to:

 

    Buying and selling of domestic equities
    Purchase of third-party debt issued by publicly traded entities
  Purchase of mineral rights
  Direct Stock Purchase participation with other publicly traded entities
  Consulting capacity
  Purchase of Royalty or Working Interests in Crude and Natural Gas Producing wells

 

On September 1, 2017, the Company acquired AMDAQ Ltd, a corporation formed under the Registrar of Companies for England and Wales, in order to diversify its business model to enter into the rapidly expanding sectors of blockchain technology.

 

AMDAQ’s multi-faceted business model will allow the company to take advantage of the significant emerging opportunities being developed utilizing blockchain technology. The opportunities we have identified to date cross many industries, which will help minimize our exposure to any single sector. We have associated ourselves with leading experts in the field of blockchain technologies, allowing for a broad overview of exciting applications being developed, which include direct investments in blockchain applications, the AMDAQ marketplace and our TIKR division.

 

The AMDAQ marketplace will provide the infrastructure for the administration of pre-existing and potential ownership of both tangible and intangible assets and its adaptable structural utility can be used in parallel to any equity fundraising mechanism.

 

AMDAQ will allow both the documented ownership and transfer of assets for which there is no established registration process and the sub-division of ownership interests in otherwise registered assets where transfer processes may be expensive/cumbersome and/or trigger taxes and other expenses.

 

Using the AMDAQ platform, assets can be titled in a Smart Contract with ownership interests evidenced by ownership of an associated Ethereum token. The Smart Contract will provide not only the rules as to transfer of ownership but also automated voting mechanisms for each specific situation that requires governance decisions.

 

For further information on the Company’s operations and filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission, please visit its corporate website at www.amdaq.com and the website of its subsidiary, AMDAQ, Ltd., at www.amdaq.market.

Former Subsidiaries:

 

Bud Bank, LLC:

 

On April 21, 2017, the Company entered into a definitive Asset Acquisition Agreement (the “Agreement”) with The Greater Cannabis Company, Inc. (“GCC”), whereby GCC acquired the Company’s wholly owned subsidiary Bud Bank, Inc. (“Bud Bank”). Under the Agreement, GCC is obligated to pay the Company a royalty of 10% of net sales proceeds generated by Bud Bank through its operations up to a total of $50,000 and thereafter for perpetuity pay a royalty of 3% of net sales proceeds generated by Bud Bank through its operations. The transaction closed on June 21, 2017 concurrent with the Company’s filings with the State of Florida. The transaction closed on June 20, 2017.

 

SLMI Options, LLC:

 

SLMI Options, LLC (“SLMI”) was a wholly owned subsidiary that was acquired through a Lender acquisition Agreement with SLMI Holdings, LLC in September 2009. The sole purpose of the acquisition of SLMI was to hold three commercial notes issued by Wilon Resources, Inc., (formerly “Wilon Resources of Tennessee, Inc.”) in the years 2005 through 2007. There has been no additional operational activity of SLMI. SLMI was administratively dissolved in 2015.

 

Licenses:

 

We held a Gathering Line Operators License in the state of Kentucky during the time we acted as the operator of our wells. As we no longer act in the capacity as the “Operator” of any shut-in/producing wells, the Company is no longer required to retain its operator license in the State of Kentucky. In the event that we would elect to act as the Operator of our wells, we would be required to submit an application to retain a license.

 

Patents/Trademarks:

 

On July 11, 2014, the Company filed a trademark for the name “Bud Bank” with the United States Office Patent and Trademark Office (“USPTO”). On September 10, 2014, the USPTO submitted a refusal letter due to the Company stating, “Registration is refused because the applied-for mark, as used in connection with the goods and/or services identified in the application, is not in lawful use in commerce. Trademark Act Sections 1 and 45, 15 U.S.C. §§1051, 1127.”

 

Research & Development

 

For the fiscal years 2017 and 2018, the majority of our development funds were utilized in the pre-development and development phases of The Greater Cannabis Company’s online store (GCC Superstore), legal, accounting and other costs associated with the spin-off of The Greater Cannabis Company, Inc. We anticipate that our development costs will be approximately $200,000 in 2019. The majority of the costs will be aimed at the development of AMDAQ Corp and its subsidiaries, legal, accounting and filings related to a “going public” event for AMDAQ Corp.

 

Compliance Expenses

 

Our company incurs annual expenses to comply with state and federal licensing requirements. We estimate these costs to be under $2,000 per year. In the event we elect to drill any new wells in Kentucky, we anticipate annual expenditures of approximately $25,000 per well related to environmental costs including water drainage and land development. It is difficult to estimate these environmental expenses while we are still a development stage company as they are largely dependent on many factors for each drilled well. See “Government Regulation” and “Environmental Regulation” below.

 

Natural Gas

 

The Henry Hub natural gas spot price averaged $3.13/million British thermal units (MMBtu) in January 2019, down 91 cents/MMBtu from December 2018. Despite a cold snap in late January, average temperatures for the month were milder than normal in much of the country, which contributed to lower prices. EIA expects strong growth in U.S. natural gas production to put downward pressure on prices in 2019. EIA expects Henry Hub natural gas spot prices to average $2.83/MMBtu in 2019, down 32 cents/MMBtu from the 2018 average. NYMEX futures and options contract values for May 2019 delivery traded during the five-day period ending February 7, 2019, suggest a range of $2.15/MMBtu to $3.30/MMBtu encompasses the market expectation for May 2019 Henry Hub natural gas prices at the 95% confidence level.

 

EIA forecasts that dry natural gas production will average 90.2 billion cubic feet per day (Bcf/d) in 2019, up 6.9 Bcf/d from 2018. EIA expects natural gas production will continue to rise in 2020 to an average of 92.1 Bcf/d.

 

EIA expects the share of U.S. total utility-scale electricity generation from natural gas-fired power plants to rise from 35% in 2018 to 36% in 2019 and to 37% in 2020. EIA forecasts that the electricity generation share from coal will average 26% in 2019 and 24% in 2020, down from 28% in 2018. The nuclear share of generation was 19% in 2018 and EIA forecasts that it will stay near that level in 2019 and in 2020. The generation share of hydropower is forecast to average slightly less than 7% of total generation in 2019 and 2020, similar to last year. Wind, solar, and other nonhydropower renewables together provided about 10% of electricity generation in 2018. EIA expects them to provide 11% in 2019 and 13% in 2019.

Crude

 

Brent crude oil spot prices averaged $59 per barrel (b) in January 2019, up $2/b from December 2018 but $10/b lower than the average in January of last year. EIA forecasts Brent spot prices will average $61/b in 2019 and $62/b in 2020, compared with an average of $71/b in 2018. EIA expects that West Texas Intermediate (WTI) crude oil prices will average $8/b lower than Brent prices in the first quarter of 2019 before the discount gradually falls to $4/b in the fourth quarter of 2019 and through 2020.

 

EIA estimates that U.S. crude oil production averaged 12.0 million barrels per day (b/d) in January, up 90,000 b/d from December. EIA forecasts U.S. crude oil production to average 12.4 million b/d in 2019 and 13.2 million b/d in 2020, with most of the growth coming from the Permian region of Texas and New Mexico.

 

Global liquid fuels inventories grew by an estimated 0.5 million b/d in 2018, and EIA expects they will grow by 0.4 million b/d in 2019 and by 0.6 million b/d in 2020.

 

U.S. crude oil and petroleum product net imports are estimated to have fallen from an average of 3.8 million b/d in 2017 to an average of 2.4 million b/d in 2018. EIA forecasts that net imports will continue to fall to an average of 0.9 million b/d in 2019 and to an average net export level of 0.3 million b/d in 2020. In the fourth quarter of 2020, EIA forecasts the United States will be a net exporter of crude oil and petroleum products by about 1.1 million b/d.

Labor and Other Supplies

 

Oil and Natural Gas Operations: We contract all labor for the development of leasehold acreage in preparation for drilling, as well as the drilling and completion crews. Our contract labor monitors the wells on a daily basis, replaces the completion components as needed, makes repairs to the gathering system, and any other day-to-day maintenance when our wells are in production.

Principal Products or Services and Markets

 

The principal markets for the Company’s crude oil are local refining companies. The principal markets for the Company’s natural gas production are local utilities, private industry end-users, and gas marketing companies.

 

When the wells we maintain a royalty interest in are in production, the crude oil produced is sold at or near the wells to Sunoco, Inc. or Barrett Oil Purchasing, Inc. The Company may sell some or all of its production to one or more additional refineries in order to maximize revenues as purchases prices offered by the refineries fluctuate from time to time. At present, all of the wells we maintain an interest are shut-in as contract labor initiates the re-entry of each to place them back into production

 

Drilling Equipment

 

The Company obtains drilling services as required from time to time from various companies as available and various drilling contractors in Kentucky. The Company does not own any of its own drilling equipment nor maintain a storage facility in Kentucky.

 

Distribution Methods of Products or Services

 

Crude oil is normally delivered to refineries in Kentucky by tank truck and natural gas is distributed and transported by pipeline.

 

Commodity Price Volatility

 

Oil and natural gas prices are volatile and subject to a number of external factors. Prices are cyclical and fluctuate as a result of shifts in the balance between supply and demand for oil and natural gas, world and North American market forces, conflicts in Middle Eastern countries, inventory and storage levels, OPEC policy, weather patterns and other factors. OPEC supply curtailment, tensions in the Middle East, increased demand in China and low North American crude stocks have kept crude oil prices high. Natural gas prices are greatly influenced by market forces in North America since the primary source of supply is contained within the continent.

 

Market forces include the industry’s ability to find new production and reserves to offset declining production, economic factors influencing industrial demand, weather patterns affecting heating demand and the price of oil for fuel switching.

 

Seasonality

 

The exploration for oil and natural gas reserves depends on access to areas where operations are to be conducted. Seasonal weather variations, including freeze-up and break-up affect access in certain circumstances. According to the American Petroleum Institute, more than 60 million U.S. households use natural gas for water heating, space heating, or cooking. In total, natural gas accounts for more than 50 percent of the fuel used to heat U.S. homes. Residential and commercial heating demand for natural gas is highly weather-sensitive, making weather the biggest driver of natural gas demand in the short term. As a result, natural gas demand is highly “seasonal” in nature, with significant “peaks” in the winter heating season.

 

Seasonality and the natural gas in storage also play a prominent role in natural gas prices. Because natural gas consumption is seasonal, but production is not, natural gas inventories are built during the summer for use in the winter. This seasonality leads to higher winter prices and lower summer prices. In addition, inventories above the seasonal average depress prices, and inventories below the seasonal average boost prices.

 

Governmental Regulation

 

Operations are or will be subject to various types of regulation at the federal, state and local levels. Such regulation includes requiring permits for the drilling of wells; maintaining bonding requirements in order to drill or operate wells; implementing spill prevention plans; submitting notification and receiving permits relating to the presence, use and release of certain materials incidental to oil and gas operations; and regulating the location of wells, the method of drilling and casing wells, the use, transportation, storage and disposal of fluids and materials used in connection with drilling and production activities, surface usage and the restoration of properties upon which wells have been drilled, the plugging and abandoning of wells and the transporting of production.

 

10
 

 

Operations are or will also be subject to various conservation matters, including the regulation of the size of drilling and spacing units or proration units, the number of wells which may be drilled in a unit, and the unitization or pooling of oil and gas properties.

 

In this regard, some states allow the forced pooling or integration of tracts to facilitate exploration while other states rely on voluntary pooling of lands and leases, which may make it more difficult to develop oil and gas properties. In addition, state conservation laws establish maximum rates of production from oil and gas wells, generally limit the venting or flaring of gas, and impose certain requirements regarding the ratable purchase of production. The effect of these regulations is to limit the amounts of oil and gas we may be able to produce from the wells and to limit the number of wells or the locations at which we may be able to drill.

 

Business is affected by numerous laws and regulations, including energy, environmental, conservation, tax and other laws and regulations relating to the oil and gas industry. We plan to develop internal procedures and policies to ensure that operations are conducted in full and substantial environmental regulatory compliance.

 

Failure to comply with any laws and regulations may result in the assessment of administrative, civil and criminal penalties, the imposition of injunctive relief or both. Moreover, changes in any of these laws and regulations could have a material adverse effect on business. In view of the many uncertainties with respect to current and future laws and regulations, including their applicability to us, we cannot predict the overall effect of such laws and regulations on future operations.

 

We believe that our operations comply in all material respects with applicable laws and regulations and that the existence and enforcement of such laws and regulations have no more restrictive an effect on operations than on other similar companies in the energy industry. We do not anticipate any material capital expenditures to comply with federal and state environmental requirements.

 

Environmental Regulation

 

Oil and Natural Gas Industry

 

The oil and gas industry is extensively regulated by federal, state and local authorities. The scope and applicability of legislation is constantly monitored for change and expansion. Numerous agencies, both federal and state, have issued rules and regulations binding on the oil and gas industry and its individual members, some of which carry substantial penalties for noncompliance. To date, these mandates have had no material effect on our capital expenditures, earnings or competitive position.

 

Legislation and implementing regulations adopted or proposed to be adopted by the Environmental Protection Agency and by comparable state agencies, directly and indirectly, affect our operations. We are required to operate in compliance with certain air quality standards, water pollution limitations, solid waste regulations and other controls related to the discharging of materials into, and otherwise protecting the environment. These regulations also relate to the rights of adjoining property owners and to the drilling and production operations and activities in connection with the storage and transportation of natural gas and oil.

 

We may be required to prepare and present to federal, state or local authority’s data pertaining to the effect or impact that any proposed operations may have upon the environment. Requirements imposed by such authorities could be costly, time-consuming and could delay continuation of production or exploration activities. Further, the cooperation of other persons or entities may be required for us to comply with all environmental regulations. It is conceivable that future legislation or regulations may significantly increase environmental protection requirements and, as a consequence, our activities may be more closely regulated which could significantly increase operating costs. However, management is unable to predict the cost of future compliance with environmental legislation. As of the date hereof, management believes that we are in compliance with all present environmental regulations. Further, we believe that our oil and gas explorations do not pose a threat of introducing hazardous substances into the environment. If such event should occur, we could be liable under certain environmental protection statutes and laws.

 

We presently do not carry insurance for environmental liability. Our exploration and development operations are subject to various types of regulation at the federal, state and local levels. Such regulation includes the requirement of permits for the drilling of wells, the regulation of the location and density of wells, limitations on the methods of casing wells, requirements for surface use and restoration of properties upon which wells are drilled and governing the abandonment and plugging of wells. Exploration and production are also subject to property rights and other laws governing the correlative rights of surface and subsurface owners.

 

11
 

 

We are subject to the requirements of the Occupational Safety and Health Act, as well as other state and local labor laws, rules and regulations. The cost of compliance with the health and safety requirements is not expected to have a material impact on our aggregate production expenses. Nevertheless, we are unable to predict the ultimate cost of compliance.

 

Competition

 

We are in direct competition with numerous oil and natural gas companies, drilling and income programs and partnerships exploring various areas of the Appalachian Basin and elsewhere competing for customers. Several of our competitors are large, well-known oil and gas and/or energy companies, but no single entity dominates the industry. Many of our competitors possess greater financial and personnel resources, sometimes enabling them to identify and acquire more economically desirable energy producing properties and drilling prospects than us. We are more of a regional operator, and have the traditional competitive strengths of one, including recently established contacts and in-depth knowledge of the local geography. Additionally, there is increasing competition from other fuel choices to supply the energy needs of consumers and industry. Management believes that there exists a viable market place for smaller producers of natural gas and oil and for operators of smaller natural gas transmission systems.

   

Employees

 

As of the date of this Report, we have one full time employee that serves in the role of President, Vice President, Treasurer and Director. Our sole officer and director also serve as the President and Chairman of the Board of Global Technologies, Ltd., a publicly traded company listed on the OTC Markets “PINK” under the symbol “GTLL” and serves as the sole officer and director of AMDAQ Corp. We plan to expand our management team within the next 12 months to include certain officers for our currently active subsidiaries and any new subsidiaries or operational activities management deems necessary. We consider our relations with our employees and consultants to be in good standing.

 

Report to Shareholders

 

On April 16, 2012, the Company filed a Form 15 with the Securities and Exchange Commission to immediately end the Company’s requirements as a fully reporting entity. The Company’s common stock continued to be quoted on the OTC Markets “PINK.”

 

Prior to filing the Form 15, the Company was subject to the informational requirements of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934. Accordingly, we filed annual, quarterly and other reports and information with the Securities and Exchange Commission. The public may read and copy these reports, statements, or other information we file at the SEC’s public reference room at 100 F Street, NE., Washington, DC 20549 on official business days during the hours of 10 a.m. to 3 p.m. State that the public may obtain information on the operation of the Public Reference Room by calling the Commission at 1-800-SEC-0330. The Commission maintains an Internet site that contains reports, proxy and information statements, and other information regarding issuers that file electronically with the Commission at ( http://www.sec.gov ).

Going Concern

 

The Company had minimal revenues and has incurred losses of $13,999,183 for the period March 28, 2008 (inception) through the three months end ed March 31, 2019 and negative working capital of $ 3,477,972 at March 31, 2019. These factors raise substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern.

 

There can be no assurance that sufficient funds required during the next year or thereafter will be generated from operations or that funds will be available from external sources such as debt or equity financings or other potential sources. The lack of additional capital resulting from the inability to generate cash flow from operations or to raise capital from external sources would force the Company to substantially curtail or cease operations and would, therefore, have a material adverse effect on its business. Furthermore, there can be no assurance that any such required funds, if available, will be available on attractive terms or that they will not have a significant dilutive effect on the Company’s existing stockholders.

 

The Company intends to overcome the circumstances that impact its ability to remain a going concern through a combination of the commencement of revenues, with interim cash flow deficiencies being addressed through additional equity and debt financing. The Company anticipates raising additional funds through public or private financing, strategic relationships or other arrangements in the near future to support its business operations; however, the Company may not have commitments from third parties for a sufficient amount of additional capital. The Company cannot be certain that any such financing will be available on acceptable terms, or at all, and its failure to raise capital when needed could limit its ability to continue its operations. The Company’s ability to obtain additional funding will determine its ability to continue as a going concern. Failure to secure additional financing in a timely manner and on favorable terms would have a material adverse effect on the Company’s financial performance, results of operations and stock price and require it to curtail or cease operations, sell off its assets, seek protection from its creditors through bankruptcy proceedings, or otherwise. Furthermore, additional equity financing may be dilutive to the holders of the Company’s common stock, and debt financing, if available, may involve restrictive covenants, and strategic relationships, if necessary, to raise additional funds, and may require that the Company relinquish valuable rights. Please see NOTE O - GOING CONCERN UNCERTAINITY for further information.

Exploitation of Flaws in the Ethereum Network’s Source Code

 

As with any other computer code, the Ethereum Network source code may contain certain flaws. Several errors and defects have been found and corrected, including those that disabled some functionality for users, exposed users’ information, or allowed users to create multiple views of the Ethereum Network. Such flaws have been discovered and quickly corrected by the Core Developers or the Ethereum community, thus demonstrating one of the advantages of open source codes that are available to the public: open source codes rely on transparency to promote community-sourced identification and solution of problems within the code.

 

Greater than Fifty Percent of Network Computational Power

 

Malicious actors can structure an attack whereby such actor gains control of more than half of the Ethereum Network’s processing power or “hashrate.” Computer scientists and cryptographers believe that the immense collective processing power of the Ethereum Network makes it impracticable for an actor to gain control of computers representing a majority of the processing power on the Ethereum Network.

 

If a malicious actor acquired sufficient computational power necessary to control the Ethereum Network (which amount would be well in excess of fifty percent), it would be able to engage in double-spending, or prevent some or all transactions from being confirmed, and prevent some or all other miners from mining any valid new blocks. The malicious actor or group of actors, however, would not be able to reverse other people’s transactions, change the fixed number of Ethers generated per new block, or transfer previously existing Ether that belong to other users.

 

Cancer Nodes

 

This form of attack involves a malicious actor propagating “cancer nodes” to isolate certain users from the legitimate Ethereum Network. A target user functionally surrounded by cancer nodes would be put on a separate “network,” allowing the malicious actor to relay only blocks created by the separate network and thus opening the target user to double-spending attacks. By using cancer nodes, a malicious actor also can disconnect the target user from the Ethereum economy entirely by refusing to relay any blocks or transactions. Ethereum software programs make these attacks more difficult by limiting the number of outbound connections through which users are connected to the Ethereum Network.

 

Manipulating Blockchain Formation

 

A malicious actor may attempt to double-spend Ether by manipulating the formation of the Blockchain rather than through control of the Ethereum Network. In this type of attack, a miner creates a valid new block containing a double-spend transaction and schedules the release of such attack block so that it is added to the Blockchain before a target user’s legitimate transaction can be included in a block. All double-spend attacks require that the miner sequence and execute the steps of its attack with sufficient speed and accuracy. Users and merchants can dramatically reduce the risk of a double-spend attack by waiting for multiple confirmations from the Ethereum Network before settling a transaction. The Ethereum Network still may be used to execute instantaneous, low-value transactions without confirmation to the extent the recipient of Ether determines that a malicious miner would be unwilling to carry out a double-spend attack for low-value transactions because the reward from mining would be higher than the small profit gained from double-spending. Users and merchants can take additional precautions by adjusting their Ethereum Network software programs to connect only to other well-connected nodes and to disable incoming connections. These precautions reduce the risk of double-spend attacks involving manipulation of a target’s connectivity to the Ethereum Network.

Smaller Reporting Company

 

We also qualify as a “smaller reporting company” under Rule 12b-2 of the Exchange Act, which is defined as a company with a public equity float of less than $75 million. To the extent that we remain a smaller reporting company at such time as we are no longer an emerging growth company, we will still have reduced disclosure requirements for our public filings some of which are similar to those of an emerging growth company, including having to comply with the auditor attestation requirements of Section 404 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act and the reduced disclosure obligations regarding executive compensation in our periodic reports and proxy statements.

RISK FACTORS

 

You should carefully consider the risks described below and other information in this prospectus, including the financial statements and related notes that appear at the end of this prospectus, before deciding to invest in our securities. These risks should be considered in conjunction with any other information included herein, including in conjunction with forward-looking statements made herein. If any of the following risks actually occur, they could materially adversely affect our business, financial condition, operating results or prospects. Additional risks and uncertainties that we do not presently know or that we currently deem immaterial may also impair our business, financial condition, operating results and prospects.

 

Risks Relating to Our Financial Condition

 

Our independent registered accounting firm has expressed concerns about our ability to continue as a going concern.

 

The report of our independent registered accounting firm expresses concern about our ability to continue as a going concern based on the absence of significant revenues, our significant losses from operations and our need for additional financing to fund all of our operations. It is not possible at this time for us to predict with assurance the potential success of our business. The revenue and income potential of our proposed business and operations are unknown. If we cannot continue as a viable entity, we may be unable to continue our operations and you may lose some or all of your investment in our common stock.

 

We have limited operational history in an emerging industry, making it difficult to accurately predict and forecast business operation.

 

As we have approximately ten years of corporate operational history and have yet to generate substantial revenue, it is extremely difficult to make accurate predictions and forecasts on our finances. This is compounded by the fact that we operate in both the technology, retail and cannabis industries, which are three rapidly transforming industries. There is no guarantee that our products or services will remain attractive to potential and current users as these industries undergo rapid change or that potential customers will utilize our services.

 

As a growing company, we have yet to achieve a profit and may not achieve a profit in the near future, if at all.

 

We have not yet produced a net profit and may not in the near future, if at all. While we expect our revenue to grow, we have not achieved profitability and cannot be certain that we will be able to sustain our current growth rate or realize sufficient revenue to achieve profitability. Our ability to continue as a going concern may be dependent upon raising capital from financing transactions, increasing revenue throughout the year and keeping operating expenses below our revenue levels in order to achieve positive cash flows, none of which can be assured.

 

We may require additional capital to support business growth, and this capital might not be available on acceptable terms, if at all.

 

We intend to continue to make investments to support our business growth and may require additional funds to respond to business challenges, including the need to develop new features and products or enhance our existing products, improve our operating infrastructure or acquire complementary businesses and technologies. Accordingly, we may need to engage in continued equity or debt financings to secure additional funds. If we raise additional funds through future issuances of equity or convertible debt securities, our existing stockholders could suffer significant dilution, and any new equity securities we issue could have rights, preferences and privileges superior to those of our common stock. Any debt financing we secure in the future could involve restrictive covenants relating to our capital raising activities and other financial and operational matters, which may make it more difficult for us to obtain additional capital and to pursue business opportunities, including potential acquisitions. We may not be able to obtain additional financing on terms favorable to us, if at all. If we are unable to obtain adequate financing or financing on terms satisfactory to us when we require it, our ability to continue to support our business growth and to respond to business challenges could be impaired, and our business may be harmed.

 

  19  
 

 

We expect our quarterly financial results to fluctuate.

 

We expect our revenue and operating results to vary significantly from quarter to quarter due to a number of factors, including changes in:

 

 

General economic conditions, both domestically and in foreign markets;

     
 

The performance of the two spin-offs of which we hold an equity investment;

     
 

Production from the oil and natural gas wells in which we maintain ownership;

     
 

Our ability to identify future acquisition targets;

     
 

Our ability to raise capital to implement our business plan; and

     
 

General acceptance and growth of the cannabis and blockchain technology industries.

 

As a result of the variability of these and other factors, our operating results in future quarters may be below the expectations of our stockholders.

 

General Business Risks

 

Conflicts of interest may arise from other business activities of our directors and officers.

 

Our sole officer and director, Wayne Anderson, currently serves in the role as President and Chairman of another publicly traded entity, Global Technologies, Ltd. (a non-reporting publicly traded company “GTLL” on the OTC Markets “PINK”). Mr. Anderson also serves as the President and Chairman of one of the Company’s former wholly owned subsidiaries, AMDAQ Corp. As such, Mr. Anderson may not be able to dedicate the required time to the Company.

 

We are highly dependent on the services of key executives, the loss of whom could materially harm our business and our strategic direction. If we lose key management or significant personnel, cannot recruit qualified employees, directors, officers, or other personnel or experience increases in our compensation costs, our business may materially suffer.

 

We are highly dependent on our management team, specifically Wayne Anderson. If we lose key employees, our business may suffer. Furthermore, our future success will also depend in part on the continued service of our management personnel and our ability to identify, hire, and retain additional key personnel. We do not carry “key-man” life insurance on the lives of any of our executives, employees or advisors. We experience intense competition for qualified personnel and may be unable to attract and retain the personnel necessary for the development of our business. Because of this competition, our compensation costs may increase significantly.

 

We will need to raise additional capital to continue operations over the coming year.

 

We anticipate the need to raise approximately $500,000 in capital to fund our operations through December 31, 2019. We expect to use these cash proceeds, primarily for the development of the Company’s proposed storage facility in Macon, GA, to assist AMDAQ Corp in the further development of its business plan including legal and accounting expenses aimed at its “going public” event, to find a suitable acquisition/joint venture target for our US Natural Gas Corp KY subsidiary, for the acquisition of additional royalty interests in oil and natural gas wells and to remain in full legal and accounting compliance with the SEC. We cannot guarantee that we will be able to raise these required funds or generate sufficient revenue to remain operational.

 

We may be unable to manage growth, which may impact our potential profitability.

 

Successful implementation of our business strategy requires us to manage our growth. Growth could place an increasing strain on our management and financial resources. To manage growth effectively, we will need to:

 

  Establish definitive business strategies, goals and objectives;
     
  Maintain a system of management controls; and
     
  Attract and retain qualified personnel, as well as, develop, train and manage management-level and other employees.

 

  20  
 

 

If we fail to manage our growth effectively, our business, financial condition or operating results could be materially harmed, and our stock price may decline.

 

Our lack of adequate D&O insurance may also make it difficult for us to retain and attract talented and skilled directors and officers.

 

We may in the future be subject to additional litigation, including potential class action and stockholder derivative actions. Risks associated with legal liability are difficult to assess and quantify, and their existence and magnitude can remain unknown for significant periods of time. To date, we have not obtained directors and officers liability (“D&O”) insurance. While neither Florida law nor our Articles of Incorporation or bylaws require us to indemnify or advance expenses to our officers and directors involved in such a legal action, we have entered into an indemnification agreement with our President and intend to enter into similar agreements with other officers and directors in the future. Without adequate D&O insurance, the amounts we would pay to indemnify our officers and directors should they be subject to legal action based on their service to the Company could have a material adverse effect on our financial condition, results of operations and liquidity. Furthermore, our lack of adequate D&O insurance may make it difficult for us to retain and attract talented and skilled directors and officers, which could adversely affect our business.

 

If we are unable to maintain effective internal control over our financial reporting, the reputational effects could materially adversely affect our business.

 

Under the provisions of Section 404(a) of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002, as amended by the Dodd Frank Wall Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act of 2010, the SEC adopted rules requiring public companies to perform an evaluation of Internal Control over Financial Reporting (Internal Controls) and to report on our evaluation in our Annual Report on Form 10-K. Our Internal Controls constitute a process designed to provide reasonable assurance regarding the reliability of financial reporting and the preparation of financial statements in accordance with GAAP. In the event we discover material weakness in our internal controls and our remediation of such reported material weakness is ineffective, or if in the future we are unable to maintain effective Internal Controls, additional resulting material restatements could occur, regulatory actions could be taken, and a resulting loss of investor confidence in the reliability of our financial statements could occur.

 

We expect to incur substantial expenses to meet our reporting obligations as a public company. In addition, failure to maintain adequate financial and management processes and controls could lead to errors in our financial reporting and could harm our ability to manage our expenses.

 

We estimate that it will cost approximately $50,000 annually to maintain the proper management and financial controls for our filings required as a public reporting company. In addition, if we do not maintain adequate financial and management personnel, processes and controls, we may not be able to accurately report our financial performance on a timely basis, which could cause a decline in our stock price and adversely affect our ability to raise capital.

 

We have a limited operating history and if we are not successful in continuing to grow our business, then we may have to scale back or even cease ongoing business operations.

 

We are in the “developmental” stage of business and have yet to commence any substantive commercial operations. We have limited history of revenues from operations. We have yet to generate positive earnings and there can be no assurance that we will ever operate profitably. We have a limited operating history and must be considered in the developmental stage. Success is significantly dependent on a successful drilling, completion and production program. Operations will be subject to all the risks inherent in the establishment of a developing enterprise and the uncertainties arising from the absence of a significant operating history. We may be unable to locate recoverable reserves or operate on a profitable basis. We are in the developmental stage and potential investors should be aware of the difficulties normally encountered by enterprises in this stage. If the business plan is not successful, and we are not able to operate profitably, investors may lose some or all of their investment in the Company.

 

  21  
 

 

Risks Inherit to Our Oil & Gas Operations

 

As properties are in the exploration stage, there can be no assurance that we will establish commercial discoveries on the properties.

 

Exploration for economic reserves of oil and gas is subject to a number of risk factors. Few properties that are explored are ultimately developed into producing oil and/or gas wells. The wells we maintain a royalty interest are located throughout Kentucky or Tennessee and considered in the exploration stage. Failure to make commercial discoveries on any of these properties would prevent our company from earning revenue and could lead to the failure of our business.

 

We are a new entrant into the oil and gas exploration and development industry without profitable operating history.

 

Since inception, activities have been limited to organizational efforts, obtaining working capital and acquiring and developing a very limited number of properties. As a result, there is limited information regarding property related production potential or revenue generation potential. As a result, future revenues may be limited or non-existent.

 

The business of oil and gas exploration and development is subject to many risks. The potential profitability of oil and natural gas properties if economic quantities are found is dependent upon many factors and risks beyond our control, including, but not limited to: (i) unanticipated ground conditions; (ii) geological problems; (iii) drilling and other processing problems; (iv) the occurrence of unusual weather or operating conditions and other force majeure events; (v) lower than expected reserve quantities; (vi) accidents; (vii) delays in the receipt of or failure to receive necessary government permits; (viii) delays in transportation; (ix) labor disputes; (x) government permit restrictions and regulation restrictions; (xi) unavailability of materials and equipment; and (xii) the failure of equipment or drilling to operate in accordance with specifications or expectations.

 

Drilling operations may not be successful which would harm our ability to operate.

 

There can be no assurance that future drilling activities will be successful, and we cannot be sure that overall drilling success rate or production operations within a particular area will ever come to fruition and, if it does, will not decline over time. We may not recover all or any portion of the capital investment in the wells or the underlying leaseholds. Unsuccessful drilling activities would have a material adverse effect upon results of operations and financial condition. The cost of drilling, completing, and operating wells is often uncertain, and a number of factors can delay or prevent drilling operations including: (i) unexpected drilling conditions; (ii) pressure or irregularities in geological formations; (iii) equipment failures or accidents; (iv) adverse weather conditions; and (iv) shortages or delays in availability of drilling rigs and delivery of equipment. If we are unable to successfully drill for oil and natural gas, we will not have revenue and in turn, the company could fail.

 

Production initiatives may not prove successful which could have a material adverse effect upon our operations.

 

The shales from which we intend to produce natural gas frequently contain water, which may hamper the ability to produce gas in commercial quantities. The amount of natural gas that can be commercially produced depends upon the rock and shale formation quality, the original free gas content of the shales, the thickness of the shales, the reservoir pressure, the rate at which gas is released from the shales, and the existence of any natural fractures through which the gas can flow to the well bore. However, shale rock formations frequently contain water that must be removed in order for the gas to detach from the shales and flow to the well bore. The ability to remove and dispose of sufficient quantities of water from the shales will determine whether or not we can produce gas in commercial quantities.

 

There is no guarantee that the potential drilling locations we have or acquire in the future will ever produce natural gas, which could have a material adverse effect upon the results of operations.

 

  22  
 

 

Prospects that we decide to drill may not yield oil or natural gas in commercially viable quantities which could have a material adverse effect upon our operations.

 

Prospects are in various stages of preliminary evaluation and assessment and we have not reached the point where we will decide to drill at all on the subject prospects. The use of seismic data, historical drilling logs, offsetting well information, and other technologies and the study of producing fields in the same area will not enable us to know conclusively prior to drilling and testing whether natural gas will be present or, if present, whether oil or natural gas will be present in sufficient quantities or quality to recover drilling or completion costs or to be economically viable. In sum, the cost of drilling, completing and operating any wells is often uncertain and new wells may not be productive.

 

If production results from operations, we are dependent upon transportation and storage services provided by third parties.

 

We will be dependent on the transportation and storage services offered by various interstate and intrastate pipeline companies for the delivery and sale of gas supplies. Both the performance of transportation and storage services by interstate pipelines and the rates charged for such services are subject to the jurisdiction of the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission or state regulatory agencies. An inability to obtain transportation and/or storage services at competitive rates could hinder processing and marketing operations and/or affect sales margins.

 

The potential profitability of oil and gas ventures depends upon factors beyond the control of our company.

 

The potential profitability of oil and gas properties is dependent upon many factors beyond our control. For instance, world prices and markets for oil and gas are unpredictable, highly volatile, potentially subject to governmental fixing, pegging, controls, or any combination of these and other factors, and respond to changes in domestic, international, political, social, and economic environments. Additionally, due to worldwide economic uncertainty, the availability and cost of funds for production and other expenses have become increasingly difficult, if not impossible, to project. These changes and events may materially affect financial performance.

 

Adverse weather conditions can also hinder drilling operations. A productive well may become uneconomic in the event that water or other deleterious substances are encountered which impair or prevent the production of oil and/or gas from the well. The marketability of oil and gas which may be acquired or discovered will be affected by numerous factors beyond our control. These factors include the proximity and capacity of oil and gas pipelines and processing equipment, market fluctuations of prices, taxes, royalties, land tenure, allowable production and environmental regulations. These factors cannot be accurately predicted and the combination of these factors may result in our company not receiving an adequate return on invested capital.

 

The oil and gas industry is highly competitive and there is no assurance that we will be successful in acquiring new leases.

 

The oil and gas industry is intensely competitive. We compete with numerous individuals and companies, including many major oil and gas companies, which have substantially greater technical, financial and operational resources and staffs. Accordingly, there is a high degree of competition for desirable oil and gas leases, suitable properties for drilling operations and necessary drilling equipment, as well as for access to funds. We cannot predict if the necessary funds can be raised or that any projected work will be completed. With the increased competition for mineral rights leases, we cannot say with certainty that we will be able to expand beyond the current 1,300 acres we currently hold. If we are unable to acquire further leaseholds, our drilling activities will be restricted to the acreage we currently maintain, which will in turn limit our growth and revenue.

 

Oil and gas operations are subject to comprehensive regulation which may cause substantial delays or require capital outlays in excess of those anticipated causing an adverse effect on our company.

 

Oil and gas operations are subject to federal, state, and local laws relating to the protection of the environment, including laws regulating removal of natural resources from the ground and the discharge of materials into the environment. Oil and gas operations are also subject to federal, state, and local laws and regulations which seek to maintain health and safety standards by regulating the design and use of drilling methods and equipment. Various permits from government bodies are required for drilling operations to be conducted; no assurance can be given that such permits will be received. Environmental standards imposed by federal, state or local authorities may be changed and any such changes may have material adverse effects on activities. Moreover, compliance with such laws may cause substantial delays or require capital outlays in excess of those anticipated, thus causing an adverse effect on us. Additionally, we may be subject to liability for pollution or other environmental damages which we may elect not to insure against due to prohibitive premium costs and other reasons. To date we have not been required to spend any material amount on compliance with environmental regulations. However, we may be required to do so in future and this may affect our ability to expand or maintain operations.

 

  23  
 

 

Exploration activities are subject to certain environmental regulations which may prevent or delay the commencement or continuance of operations.

 

In general, exploration activities are subject to certain federal, state and local laws and regulations relating to environmental quality and pollution control. Such laws and regulations increase the costs of these activities and may prevent or delay the commencement or continuance of a given operation. Compliance with these laws and regulations has not had a material effect on operations or financial condition to date. Specifically, we are subject to legislation regarding emissions into the environment, water discharges and storage and disposition of hazardous wastes. In addition, legislation has been enacted which requires well and facility sites to be abandoned and reclaimed to the satisfaction of state authorities. However, such laws and regulations are frequently changed and we are unable to predict the ultimate cost of compliance. Generally, environmental requirements do not appear to affect us any differently or to any greater or lesser extent than other companies in the industry.

 

We believe that our operations comply, in all material respects, with all applicable environmental regulations. Our operating partners maintain insurance coverage customary to the industry; however, we are not fully insured against all possible environmental risks.

 

Exploratory drilling involves many risks and we may become liable for pollution or other liabilities which may have an adverse effect on financial position.

 

Drilling operations generally involve a high degree of risk. Hazards such as unusual or unexpected geological formations, power outages, labor disruptions, blow-outs, sour gas leakage, fire, inability to obtain suitable or adequate machinery, equipment or labor, and other risks are involved. We may become subject to liability for pollution or hazards against which we cannot adequately insure or which we may elect not to insure. Incurring any such liability may have a material adverse effect on financial position and operations.

 

Any change to government regulation/administrative practices may have a negative impact on the ability to operate and profitability.

 

The laws, regulations, policies or current administrative practices of any government body, organization or regulatory agency in the United States or any other jurisdiction, may be changed, applied or interpreted in a manner which will fundamentally alter the ability of our company to carry on our business.

 

The actions, policies or regulations, or changes thereto, of any government body or regulatory agency, or other special interest groups, may have a detrimental effect on us. Any or all of these situations may have a negative impact on our ability to operate profitably.

 

Risks Inherit to Our Equity Holding in AMDAQ Corp

 

Government actions or digital distribution platform restrictions could result in AMDAQ Corp’s products and services being unavailable in certain geographic regions, harming future growth.

 

Due to their connections to the blockchain industry, governments and government agencies could ban or cause their network or future apps to become unavailable in certain regions and jurisdictions. This could greatly impair or prevent them from registering new customers at their online portal in affected areas and prevent current customers from accessing the network. In addition, government action taken against their service providers, suppliers or partners could cause their network to become unavailable for extended periods of time.

 

Failure to identify and acquire technology and assets in the blockchain sector could greatly harm AMDAQ Corp’s business model.

 

Their business model is reliant on their ability to identify and acquire technology and assets within the blockchain sector. There is no guarantee that they will be successful in identifying viable companies or successful in acquiring any companies.

 

Competing blockchain platforms and technologies.

 

The development and acceptance of competing blockchain platforms or technologies may cause consumers to use alternative distributed ledgers or an alternative to distributed ledgers altogether. This may adversely affect the Company and its exposure to various blockchain technologies. Such circumstances would have a material adverse effect on the ability of the Company to continue as a going concern or to pursue this segment at all, which would have a material adverse effect on the business, prospects or operations of the Company.

 

  24  
 

 

A network or data security incident may allow unauthorized access to AMDAQ Corp’s network or data, harm their reputation, create additional liability and adversely impact our financial results.

 

Increasingly, companies are subject to a wide variety of attacks on their networks on an ongoing basis. In addition to traditional computer “hackers,” malicious code (such as viruses and worms), phishing attempts, employee theft or misuse, and denial of service attacks, sophisticated nation-state and nation-state supported actors now engage in intrusions and attacks (including advanced persistent threat intrusions) and add to the risks to our internal networks and the information they store and process. Despite significant efforts to create security barriers to such threats, it is virtually impossible for them to entirely mitigate these risks. A breach in their data security could compromise their networks or networks secured by their products, creating system disruptions or slowdowns and exploiting security vulnerabilities of their products, and the information stored on their networks could be accessed, publicly disclosed, altered, lost, or stolen, which could subject them to liability and cause them financial harm. Although they have not yet experienced significant damages from unauthorized access by a third party of their internal network, any actual or perceived breach of network security in their internal systems could result in damage to their reputation, negative publicity, loss of channel partners, end-customers and sales, loss of competitive advantages over their competitors, increased costs to remedy any problems, and costly litigation. Any of these negative outcomes could adversely impact the market perception of their products and services and investor confidence in their company and could seriously harm their business or operating results.

 

Government regulation of the Blockchain industry and digital assets is evolving, and unfavorable changes could substantially harm AMDAQ Corp’s business and results of operations.

 

They are subject to general business regulations and laws as well as Federal and state regulations and laws specifically governing securities and digital assets. Existing and future laws and regulations may impede the growth of the Internet, e-commerce or other online services, and increase the cost of providing online services. These regulations and laws may cover taxation, tariffs, user privacy, data protection, pricing, content, copyrights, distribution, electronic contracts and other communications, consumer protection, broadband residential Internet access and the characteristics and quality of services. It is not clear how existing laws governing issues such as property ownership, sales, use and other taxes, libel and personal privacy apply to the Internet and e-commerce. Unfavorable resolution of these issues may harm their business and results of operations.

 

Due to AMDAQ Corp’s involvement in the blockchain industry, they may have a difficult time obtaining the various insurances that are desired to operate their business, which may expose them to additional risk and financial liabilities.

 

Insurance that is otherwise readily available, such as general liability, and directors and officer’s insurance, may become more difficult for them to find and more expensive, because they are a service provider to companies in the digital asset sector. There are no guarantees that they will be able to find such insurances in the future, or that the cost will be affordable to them. If they are forced to go without such insurances, it may prevent them from entering into certain business sectors, may inhibit our growth, and may expose them to additional risk and financial liabilities. AMDAQ Corp will carry general liability insurance. They do not currently hold any other forms of insurance, including directors’ and officers’ insurance. Because they do not have any other types of insurance, if they are made a party of a legal action, they may not have sufficient funds to defend the litigation. If that occurs a judgment could be rendered against them that could cause them to cease operations.

 

Forms of Attack Against the Ethereum Network.

 

Exploitation of Flaws in the Ethereum Network’s Source Code

 

As with any other computer code, the Ethereum Network source code may contain certain flaws. Several errors and defects have been found and corrected, including those that disabled some functionality for users, exposed users’ information, or allowed users to create multiple views of the Ethereum Network. Such flaws have been discovered and quickly corrected by the Core Developers or the Ethereum community, thus demonstrating one of the advantages of open source codes that are available to the public: open source codes rely on transparency to promote community-sourced identification and solution of problems within the code.

 

Greater than Fifty Percent of Network Computational Power

 

Malicious actors can structure an attack whereby such actor gains control of more than half of the Ethereum Network’s processing power or “hashrate.” Computer scientists and cryptographers believe that the immense collective processing power of the Ethereum Network makes it impracticable for an actor to gain control of computers representing a majority of the processing power on the Ethereum Network.

 

If a malicious actor acquired sufficient computational power necessary to control the Ethereum Network (which amount would be well in excess of fifty percent), it would be able to engage in double-spending, or prevent some or all transactions from being confirmed, and prevent some or all other miners from mining any valid new blocks. The malicious actor or group of actors, however, would not be able to reverse other people’s transactions, change the fixed number of Ethers generated per new block, or transfer previously existing Ether that belong to other users.

 

Cancer Nodes

 

This form of attack involves a malicious actor propagating “cancer nodes” to isolate certain users from the legitimate Ethereum Network. A target user functionally surrounded by cancer nodes would be put on a separate “network,” allowing the malicious actor to relay only blocks created by the separate network and thus opening the target user to double-spending attacks. By using cancer nodes, a malicious actor also can disconnect the target user from the Ethereum economy entirely by refusing to relay any blocks or transactions. Ethereum software programs make these attacks more difficult by limiting the number of outbound connections through which users are connected to the Ethereum Network.

 

Manipulating Blockchain Formation

 

A malicious actor may attempt to double-spend Ether by manipulating the formation of the Blockchain rather than through control of the Ethereum Network. In this type of attack, a miner creates a valid new block containing a double-spend transaction and schedules the release of such attack block so that it is added to the Blockchain before a target user’s legitimate transaction can be included in a block. All double-spend attacks require that the miner sequence and execute the steps of its attack with sufficient speed and accuracy. Users and merchants can dramatically reduce the risk of a double-spend attack by waiting for multiple confirmations from the Ethereum Network before settling a transaction. The Ethereum Network still may be used to execute instantaneous, low-value transactions without confirmation to the extent the recipient of Ether determines that a malicious miner would be unwilling to carry out a double-spend attack for low-value transactions because the reward from mining would be higher than the small profit gained from double-spending. Users and merchants can take additional precautions by adjusting their Ethereum Network software programs to connect only to other well-connected nodes and to disable incoming connections. These precautions reduce the risk of double-spend attacks involving manipulation of a target’s connectivity to the Ethereum Network.

 

  25  
 

 

Rapid technological changes.

 

The industries in which AMDAQ Corp intends to compete with are subject to rapid technological changes. No assurances can be given that the technological advantages which may be enjoyed by the Company in respect of their technologies cannot or will not be overcome by technological advances in the respective industries rendering the Company’s technologies obsolete or non-competitive.

 

Protection of intellectual property.

 

The success of AMDAQ Corp will be dependent, in part, upon the protection of its various proprietary technologies from competitive use. Certain of its technologies are the subject of various patents in varying jurisdictions. In addition to the patent applications, the Company relies on a combination of trade secrets, nondisclosure agreements and other contractual provisions to protect its intellectual property rights. Nevertheless, these measures may be inadequate to safeguard the Company’s underlying technologies. If these measures do not protect the intellectual property rights, third parties could use the Company’s technologies, and its ability to compete in the market would be reduced significantly.

 

In the future, the Company may be required to protect or enforce its patents and patent rights through patent litigation against third parties, such as infringement suits or interference proceedings. These lawsuits could be expensive, take significant time, and could divert management’s attention from other business concerns. These actions could put the Company’s patents at risk of being invalidated or interpreted narrowly, and any patent applications at risk of not issuing. In defense of any such action, these third parties may assert claims against the Company. The Company cannot provide any assurance that it will have sufficient funds to vigorously prosecute any patent litigation, that it will prevail in any of these suits, or that the damages or other remedies awarded, if any, will be commercially valuable. During the course of these suits, there may be public announcements of the results of hearings, motions and other interim proceedings or developments in the litigation, which could result in the negative perception by investors, which could cause the price of the Company’s common stock to decline dramatically.

 

Risk to Our Common Stock and Offering

 

If we fail to remain current on our reporting requirements, we could be removed from the OTC Bulletin Board which would limit the ability of broker-dealers to sell our securities in the secondary market.

 

Companies trading on the Over the Counter Bulletin Board must be reporting issuers under Section 12 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, and must be current in their reports under Section 13, in order to maintain price quotation privileges on the OTC Bulletin Board. As a result, the market liquidity for our securities could be severely adversely affected by limiting the ability of broker-dealers to sell our securities and the ability of stockholders to sell their securities in the secondary market. In addition, we may be unable to get relisted on the OTC Bulletin Board, which may have an adverse material effect on the Company.

 

We do not expect to pay dividends in the future; any return on investment may be limited to the value of our common stock.

 

We do not currently anticipate paying cash dividends in the foreseeable future. The payment of dividends on our common stock will depend on earnings, financial condition and other business and economic factors affecting it at such time as the board of directors may consider relevant. Our current intention is to apply net earnings, if any, in the foreseeable future to increasing our capital base and development and marketing efforts. There can be no assurance that the Company will ever have sufficient earnings to declare and pay dividends to the holders of our common stock, and in any event, a decision to declare and pay dividends is at the sole discretion of our board of directors. If we do not pay dividends, our common stock may be less valuable because a return on your investment will only occur if its stock price appreciates.

 

Authorization of preferred stock.

 

Our Certificate of Incorporation authorizes the issuance of up to 5,000,000 shares of preferred stock with designations, rights and preferences determined from time to time by its Board of Directors. Accordingly, our Board of Directors is empowered, without stockholder approval, to issue preferred stock with dividend, liquidation, conversion, voting, or other rights which could adversely affect the voting power or other rights of the holders of the common stock. In the event of issuance, the preferred stock could be utilized, under certain circumstances, as a method of discouraging, delaying or preventing a change in control of the Company. At present, we have authorized and issued 3,000,000 and 1,000,000 shares, respectively, of Series A Preferred stock and authorized and issued 500,000 and 100 shares, respectively, of Series D Preferred stock. Please see NOTE L - CAPITAL STOCK for further information.

The Company arbitrarily determined the offering price and terms of the Shares offered through this Prospectus .

 

The price of the Shares has been arbitrarily determined and bears no relationship to the assets or book value of the Company, or other customary investment criteria. No independent counsel or appraiser has been retained to value the Shares, and no assurance can be made that the offering price is in fact reflective of the underlying value of the Shares offered hereunder. Each prospective investor is therefore urged to consult with his or her own legal counsel and tax advisors as to the offering price and terms of the Shares offered hereunder.

 

The Shares are an illiquid investment and transferability of the Shares is subject to significant restriction .

 

There are substantial restrictions on the transfer of the Shares. Therefore, the purchase of the Shares must be considered a long-term investment acceptable only for prospective investors who are willing and can afford to accept and bear the substantial risk of the investment for an indefinite period of time. There is not a public market for the resale of the Shares. A prospective investor, therefore, may not be able to liquidate its investment, even in the event of an emergency, and Shares may not be acceptable as collateral for a loan.

 

The market price for our common stock may be particularly volatile given our status as a relatively unknown company, with a limited operating history and lack of profits which could lead to wide fluctuations in our share price. You may be unable to sell your common stock at or above your purchase price, which may result in substantial losses to you.

 

Our stock price may be particularly volatile when compared to the shares of larger, more established companies that trade on a national securities exchange and have large public floats. The volatility in our share price will be attributable to a number of factors. First, our common stock will be compared to the shares of such larger, more established companies, sporadically and thinly traded. As a consequence of this limited liquidity, the trading of relatively small quantities of shares by our shareholders may disproportionately influence the price of those shares in either direction. The price for our shares could decline precipitously in the event that a large number of shares of our common stock are sold on the market without commensurate demand. Second, we are a speculative or “risky” investment due to our limited operating history and lack of profits to date, and uncertainty of future market acceptance for our potential products. As a consequence of this enhanced risk, more risk-adverse investors may, under the fear of losing all or most of their investment in the event of negative news or lack of progress, be more inclined to sell their shares on the market more quickly and at greater discounts than would be the case with the stock of a larger, more established company that trades on a national securities exchange and has a large public float. Many of these factors are beyond our control and may decrease the market price of our common stock, regardless of our operating performance. We cannot make any predictions or projections as to what the prevailing market price for our common stock will be at any time. Moreover, the OTC Bulletin Board is not a liquid market in contrast to the major stock exchanges. We cannot assure you as to the liquidity or the future market prices of our common stock if a market does develop. If an active market for our common stock does not develop, the fair market value of our common stock could be materially adversely affected.

 

Existing stockholders will experience significant dilution from our sale of shares under potential Securities Purchase Agreements.

 

The sale of shares pursuant to any Securities Purchase Agreements executed by the Company in the future will have a dilutive impact on our stockholders. As a result, the market price of our common stock could decline significantly, as we sell shares pursuant to the Securities Purchase Agreement. In addition, for any particular advance, we will need to issue a greater number of shares of common stock under the Securities Purchase Agreement as our stock price declines. If our stock price is lower, then our existing stockholders would experience greater dilution.

The Company May Issue Shares of Preferred Stock with Greater Rights than Common Stock.

 

The Company’s charter authorizes the Board of Directors to issue one or more series of preferred stock and set the terms of the preferred stock without seeking any further approval from holders of the Company’s common stock. Any preferred stock that is issued may rank ahead of the Company’s common stock in terms of dividends, priority and liquidation premiums and may have greater voting rights than the Company’s common stock.

 

Being a Public Company Significantly Increases the Company’s Administrative Costs.

 

The Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002, as well as rules subsequently implemented by the SEC and listing requirements subsequently adopted by the NYSE Amex in response to Sarbanes-Oxley, have required changes in corporate governance practices, internal control policies and audit committee practices of public companies. Although the Company is a relatively small public company, these rules, regulations, and requirements for the most part apply to the same extent as they apply to all major publicly traded companies. As a result, they have significantly increased the Company’s legal, financial, compliance and administrative costs, and have made certain other activities more time consuming and costly, as well as requiring substantial time and attention of our senior management. The Company expects its continued compliance with these and future rules and regulations to continue to require significant resources. These rules and regulations also may make it more difficult and more expensive for the Company to obtain director and officer liability insurance in the future and could make it more difficult for it to attract and retain qualified members for the Company’s Board of Directors, particularly to serve on its audit committee.

 

Our shares are subject to the U.S. “Penny Stock” Rules and investors who purchase our shares may have difficulty re-selling their shares as the liquidity of the market for our shares may be adversely affected by the impact of the “Penny Stock” Rules.

 

Our stock is subject to U.S. “Penny Stock” rules, which may make the stock more difficult to trade on the open market. Our common shares are not currently traded on the OTC Bulletin Board, but it is the Company’s plan that the common shares be quoted on the OTC Bulletin Board. A “penny stock” is generally defined by regulations of the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) as an equity security with a market price of less than US$5.00 per share. However, an equity security with a market price under US $5.00 will not be considered a penny stock if it fits within any of the following exceptions:

 

  (i) the equity security is listed on NASDAQ or a national securities exchange;
     
  (ii) the issuer of the equity security has been in continuous operation for less than three years, and either has (a) net tangible assets of at least US $5,000,000, or (b) average annual revenue of at least US $6,000,000; or
     
  (iii) the issuer of the equity security has been in continuous operation for more than three years and has net tangible assets of at least US $2,000,000.

 

Our common stock does not currently fit into any of the above exceptions.

 

If an investor buys or sells a penny stock, SEC regulations require that the investor receive, prior to the transaction, a disclosure explaining the penny stock market and associated risks. Furthermore, trading in our common stock will be subject to Rule 15g-9 of the Exchange Act, which relates to non-NASDAQ and non-exchange listed securities. Under this rule, broker/dealers who recommend our securities to persons other than established customers and accredited investors must make a special written suitability determination for the purchaser and receive the purchaser’s written agreement to a transaction prior to sale. Securities are exempt from this rule if their market price is at least $5.00 per share. Since our common stock is currently deemed penny stock regulations, it may tend to reduce market liquidity of our common stock, because they limit the broker/dealers’ ability to trade, and a purchaser’s ability to sell, the stock in the secondary market.

 

  28  
 

 

The low price of our common stock has a negative effect on the amount and percentage of transaction costs paid by individual shareholders. The low price of our common stock also limits our ability to raise additional capital by issuing additional shares. There are several reasons for these effects. First, the internal policies of certain institutional investors prohibit the purchase of low-priced stocks. Second, many brokerage houses do not permit low-priced stocks to be used as collateral for margin accounts or to be purchased on margin. Third, some brokerage house policies and practices tend to discourage individual brokers from dealing in low-priced stocks. Finally, broker’s commissions on low-priced stocks usually represent a higher percentage of the stock price than commissions on higher priced stocks. As a result, the Company’s shareholders may pay transaction costs that are a higher percentage of their total share value than if our share price were substantially higher.

 

Because we can issue additional shares of common stock, purchasers of our common stock may incur immediate dilution and experience further dilution.

 

We are authorized to issue up to 750,000,000 shares of common stock, of which 11,694,595 shares of common stock are issued and outstanding as of June 14 , 2019. Our Board of Directors has the authority to cause us to issue additional shares of common stock and to determine the rights, preferences and privileges of such shares, without consent of any of our stockholders. Consequently, the stockholders may experience more dilution in their ownership of our stock in the future.

 

A reverse stock split may decrease the liquidity of the shares of our common stock.

 

The liquidity of the shares of our common stock may be affected adversely by a reverse stock split given the reduced number of shares that will be outstanding following a reverse stock split, especially if the market price of our common stock does not increase as a result of the reverse stock split.

 

Following a reverse stock split, the resulting market price of our common stock may not attract new investors, including institutional investors, and may not satisfy the investing requirements of those investors. Consequently, the trading liquidity of our common stock may not improve.

 

Although we believe that a higher market price of our common stock may help generate greater or broader investor interest, we cannot assure you that a reverse stock split will result in a share price that will attract new investors.

 

You may be diluted by conversions of the Company’s Series A Preferred Stock, Series D Preferred Stock, convertible notes and exercises of outstanding options and warrants.

 

As of March 31, 2019 , we had (i) outstanding options/warrants to purchase an aggregate of 3,273,750 shares of our common stock with exercise price s ranging from $0.025- $0.50 per share, and (ii) outstanding third-party notes in an aggregate principal amount of $1, 358,491 , which are convertible for up to 55,637,987 shares of our common stock, and (iii) 1,000,000 shares of Series A Preferred stock outstanding, which are convertible into 7,800,000 shares of our common stock; and (iv) 100 shares of Series D Preferred stock which is convertible into 31,250,000 shares of our common stock.

 

The exercise of such options and warrants , conversion of the third-party notes , conversion of our Series A Preferred Stock and Series D Preferred Stock will result in further dilution of your investment. In addition, you may experience additional dilution if we issue common stock in the future. As a result of this dilution, you may receive significantly less in net tangible book value than the full purchase price you paid for the shares in the event of liquidation.

 

Issuances of shares of common stock or securities convertible into or exercisable for shares of common stock following this offering, as well as the exercise of options and warrants outstanding, will dilute your ownership interests and may adversely affect the future market price of our common stock.

 

The issuance of additional shares of our common stock or securities convertible into or exchangeable for our common stock could be dilutive to stockholders if they do not invest in future offerings. We may seek additional capital through a combination of private and public offerings in the future.

 

The Company’s shares of common stock are quoted on the OTC Pink Sheet market, which limits the liquidity and price of the Company’s common stock.

 

The Company’s shares of Common Stock are traded on the OTC Pink Sheet market under the symbol “UNGS.” Quotation of the Company’s securities on the OTC Pink Sheet market limits the liquidity and price of the Company’s Common Stock more than if the Company’s shares of Common Stock were listed on The Nasdaq Stock Market or a national exchange. There is currently no active trading market in the Company’s Common Stock. There can be no assurance that there will be an active trading market for the Company’s Common Stock following a business combination. In the event that an active trading market commences, there can be no assurance as to the market price of the Company’s shares of Common Stock, whether any trading market will provide liquidity to investors, or whether any trading market will be sustained. Furthermore, because our shares of Common Stock are traded on the OTC Pink Sheet market,  the shares of our Common Stock may only be offered and sold by Selling Shareholders at a fixed price of $0.044 per share until our Common Stock is quoted on the OTCQB tier of the OTC Markets, and thereafter at prevailing market prices or privately negotiated prices or in transactions that are not in the public market. We cannot assure you that our Common Stock will be quoted on the OTCQB tier notwithstanding our belief that we will satisfy the eligibility standards for admission to, and our intention to make application for quotation on the OTCQB.

 

FINRA sales practice requirements may limit a stockholder’s ability to buy and sell our stock.

 

The Financial Industry Regulatory Authority, Inc. (“FINRA”) has adopted rules requiring that, in recommending an investment to a customer, a broker-dealer must have reasonable grounds for believing that the investment is suitable for that customer. Prior to recommending speculative or low-priced securities to their non-institutional customers, broker-dealers must make reasonable efforts to obtain information about the customer’s financial status, tax status, investment objectives and other information. Under interpretations of these rules, FINRA has indicated its belief that there is a high probability that speculative or low-priced securities will not be suitable for at least some customers. If these FINRA requirements are applicable to us or our securities, they may make it more difficult for broker-dealers to recommend that at least some of their customers buy our common stock, which may limit the ability of our stockholders to buy and sell our common stock and could have an adverse effect on the market for and price of our common stock.

 

  29  
 

 

We are classified as a “smaller reporting company” and we cannot be certain if the reduced disclosure requirements applicable to smaller reporting companies will make our common stock less attractive to investors.

 

We are a “smaller reporting company.” Specifically, “smaller reporting companies” are able to provide simplified executive compensation disclosures in their filings; are exempt from the provisions of Section 404(b) of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act requiring that independent registered public accounting firms provide an attestation report on the effectiveness of internal control over financial reporting; and have certain other decreased disclosure obligations in their SEC filings.

 

Because directors and officers currently and for the foreseeable future will continue to control Sylios Corp, it is not likely that you will be able to elect directors or have any say in the policies of the Company

 

Our shareholders are not entitled to cumulative voting rights. Consequently, the election of directors and all other matters requiring shareholder approval will be decided by majority vote. The directors, officers and affiliates of Sylios Corp beneficially own approximately 30 % of our outstanding common stock either through direct ownership or through another class of capital stock that may be convertible into shares of our common stock. Due to such significant ownership position held by our insiders, new investors may not be able to effect a change in our business or management, and therefore, shareholders would have no recourse as a result of decisions made by management. Our President owns all issued and outstanding shares of the Company’s Series D Preferred Stock, which has voting rights equal to four times the sum of: i) the total number of shares of Common Stock which are issued and outstanding at the time of voting, plus ii) the total number of shares of Series A, plus Series B, plus Series C Preferred Stocks which are issued and outstanding at the time of voting. As of the date of this filing, our President would have voting rights equal to 53,485,963 shares (50,311,942 voting shares through the Series D Preferred Stock and 3,174,021 shares of common stock held) or 86.42% of the shares available to vote for a matter brought before shareholders. In the event our President were to convert all 100 shares of Series D Preferred stock into shares of common stock, he would be issued.14,204,545 shares of common stock for a total ownership of 17,378,566 or 67.40% of the issued and outstanding common stock.

 

Since we intend to retain any earnings for development of our business for the foreseeable future, you will likely not receive any dividends for the foreseeable future.

 

We have never declared or paid any cash dividends or distributions on our capital stock. We currently intend to retain our future earnings to support operations and to finance expansion and therefore we do not anticipate paying any cash dividends on our common stock in the foreseeable future.

 

The Company is a holding company.

 

The Company is a holding company and essentially all of its assets are the capital stock of its material subsidiaries. As a result, investors in the Company are subject to the risks attributable to its subsidiaries. Consequently, our cash flows and ability to complete current or desirable future enhancement opportunities are dependent on the earnings of its subsidiaries and investments and the distribution of those earnings to the Company. The ability of these entities to pay dividends and other distributions will depend on their operating results and are subject to applicable laws and regulations which require that solvency and capital standards be maintained by such companies and contractual restrictions contained in the instruments governing their debt. In the event of a bankruptcy, liquidation or reorganization of any of our material subsidiaries, holders of indebtedness and trade creditors may be entitled to payment of their claims from the assets of those subsidiaries before the Company.

  30  
 

 

as well as other statements regarding our future operations, financial condition and prospects, and business strategies. These statements are based on current expectations, estimates and projections about our business based, in part, on assumptions made by management. These statements are not guarantees of future performance and involve risks, uncertainties and assumptions that are difficult to predict. Therefore, actual outcomes and results may, and are likely to, differ materially from what is expressed or forecasted in the forward-looking statements due to numerous factors, including those described above and those risks discussed from time to time in this registration statement, of which this prospectus is a part, including the risks described under “Risk Factors.” Any forward-looking statements speak only as of the date on which they are made, and we do not undertake any obligation to update any forward-looking statement to reflect events or circumstances that occur in the future.

 

If one or more of these or other risks or uncertainties materialize, or if our underlying assumptions prove to be incorrect, actual results may vary materially from what we may have projected. Any forward-looking statements you read in this prospectus reflect our current views with respect to future events and are subject to these and other risks, uncertainties and assumptions relating to our operations, results of operations, financial condition, growth strategy and liquidity. You should specifically consider the factors identified in this prospectus that could cause actual results to differ before making an investment decision. In addition, as discussed in “Risk Factors,” our shares may be considered a “penny stock” and, as a result, the safe harbors provided for forward-looking statements made by a public company that files reports under the federal securities laws may not be available to us.

 

TAX CONSIDERATIONS

 

We are not providing any tax advice as to the acquisition, holding or disposition of the securities offered herein. In making an investment decision, investors are strongly encouraged to consult their own tax advisor to determine the U.S. Federal, state and any applicable foreign tax consequences relating to their investment in our securities.

DETERMINATION OF OFFERING PRICE

 

The pricing of the Shares has been arbitrarily determined and established by the Company. No independent accountant or appraiser has been retained to protect the interest of the investors.

Factors to be considered in determining the price include the amount of capital expected to be required, the market for securities of entities in a new business venture, projected rates of return expected by prospective investors of speculative investments, the Company’s prospects for success and prices of similar entities.

 

DILUTION

 

Not applicable. We are not offering any shares in this registration statement. All shares are being registered on behalf of our selling shareholders.

The selling shareholders named below are selling the securities. The table assumes that all of the securities will be sold in this offering. However, any or all of the securities listed below may be retained by any of the selling shareholders, and therefore, no accurate forecast can be made as to the number of securities that will be held by the selling shareholders upon termination of this offering. The shares of our Common Stock may be offered and sold by the Selling Shareholders at a fixed price of $0.044 per share until our Common Stock is quoted on the OTC Bulletin Board, OTCQX or OTCQB, and thereafter at prevailing market prices or privately negotiated prices or in transactions that are not in the public market. Notwithstanding our belief that upon the effective date of this registration statement our Common Stock will qualify for quotation on the OTCQB and we intend to pursue application for admission to the OTCQB, we cannot assure you that our Common Stock will, in fact, be quoted on the OTCQB tier. We will not receive proceeds from the sale of shares from the selling shareholders, but we will however receive proceeds from the issuance of 3,000,000 shares of our common stock underlying the warrant issued to Darling Capital, LLC, from the issuance of 50,000 shares of our common stock underlying the warrants issued to Jimmy Wayne Anderson, from the issuance of 171,250 shares of our common stock underlying the warrants issued to Armada Investment Fund, LLC, from the issuance of 76,250 shares of our common stock underlying the warrants issued to BHP Capital NY Inc. and from the issuance of 76,250 shares of our common stock underlying the warrants issued to Jefferson Street Capital, LLC. We believe that the selling shareholders listed in the table have sole voting and investment powers with respect to the securities indicated. Each selling shareholder who is also an affiliate of a broker dealer as noted below has represented that: (1) the selling shareholder purchased in the ordinary course of business; and (2) at the time of purchase of the securities being registered for resale, the selling shareholder had no agreements or understandings, directly or indirectly, with any person to distribute the securities.

PLAN OF DISTRIBUTION

 

The Selling Shareholders and any of its pledgees, donees, assignees and other successors-in-interest may, from time to time sell any or all of their shares of Common Stock on any market or trading facility on which the shares are traded or in private transactions.  On April 10, 2019, the last reported sales price for our Common Stock was $ 0.044  per share. Because our Common Stock is subject to quotation on OTC Pink Market, our Common Stock may only be offered and sold by the Selling Shareholders at a fixed price of $0.044 per share until our Common Stock is quoted on the OTCQB tier of the OTC Markets, and thereafter at prevailing market prices or privately negotiated prices or in transactions that are not in the public market. Notwithstanding our belief that upon the effective date of this registration statement our Common Stock will satisfy the eligibility standards and requirements for quotation on the OTCQB and our express intention to pursue our application for quotation of our Common Stock on the OTCQB, we cannot assure you that our Common Stock will, in fact, be quoted on the OTCQB tier. We urge prospective purchasers of our Common Stock to obtain current information about the market prices of our Common Stock.

 

  ordinary brokerage transactions and transactions in which the broker-dealer solicits the purchaser;
     
  block trades in which the broker-dealer will attempt to sell the shares as agent but may position and resell a portion of the block as principal
     
  facilitate the transaction;
     
  purchases by a broker-dealer as principal and resale by the broker-dealer for its account;
     
  an exchange distribution in accordance with the rules of the applicable exchange;

 

  33  
 

 

  privately-negotiated transactions;
     
  broker-dealers may agree with the selling stockholders to sell a specified number of such shares at a stipulated price per share;
     
  through the writing of options on the shares;
     
  a combination of any such methods of sale; and
     
  any other method permitted pursuant to applicable law.

 

The selling stockholders may also sell shares under Rule 144 of the Securities Act, if available, rather than under this prospectus. The selling stockholders shall have the sole and absolute discretion not to accept any purchase offer or make any sale of shares if it deems the purchase price to be unsatisfactory at any particular time.

 

The selling stockholders or their respective pledgees, donees, transferees or other successors in interest, may also sell the shares directly to market makers acting as principals and/or broker-dealers acting as agents for themselves or their customers. Such broker-dealers may receive compensation in the form of discounts, concessions or commissions from the selling stockholders and/or the purchasers of shares for whom such broker-dealers may act as agents or to whom they sell as principal or both, which compensation as to a particular broker-dealer might be in excess of customary commissions. Market makers and block purchasers purchasing the shares will do so for their own account and at their own risk. It is possible that a selling stockholder will attempt to sell shares of common stock in block transactions to market makers or other purchasers at a price per share which may be below the then existing market price. We cannot assure that all or any of the shares offered in this prospectus will be issued to, or sold by, the selling stockholders. The selling stockholders and any brokers, dealers or agents, upon effecting the sale of any of the shares offered in this prospectus, may be deemed to be “underwriters” as that term is defined under the Securities Exchange Act of 1933, as amended, the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, and the rules and regulations of such acts. In such event, any commissions received by such broker-dealers or agents and any profit on the resale of the shares purchased by them may be deemed to be underwriting commissions or discounts under the Securities Act.

 

We are required to pay all fees and expenses incident to the registration of the shares, including fees and disbursements of counsel to the selling stockholders, but excluding brokerage commissions or underwriter discounts.

 

The selling stockholders, alternatively, may sell all or any part of the shares offered in this prospectus through an underwriter. The selling stockholders have not entered into any agreement with a prospective underwriter and there is no assurance that any such agreement will be entered into.

 

The selling stockholders may pledge their shares to their brokers under the margin provisions of customer agreements. If a selling stockholder defaults on a margin loan, the broker may, from time to time, offer and sell the pledged shares. The selling stockholders and any other persons participating in the sale or distribution of the shares will be subject to applicable provisions of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, and the rules and regulations under such Act, including, without limitation, Regulation M. These provisions may restrict certain activities of and limit the timing of purchases and sales of any of the shares by, the selling stockholders or any other such person. In the event that any of the selling stockholders are deemed an affiliated purchaser or distribution participant within the meaning of Regulation M, then the selling stockholders will not be permitted to engage in short sales of common stock. Furthermore, under Regulation M, persons engaged in a distribution of securities are prohibited from simultaneously engaging in market making and certain other activities with respect to such securities for a specified period of time prior to the commencement of such distributions, subject to specified exceptions or exemptions. In addition, if a short sale is deemed to be a stabilizing activity, then the selling stockholders will not be permitted to engage in a short sale of our common stock. All of these limitations may affect the marketability of the shares.

 

If a selling stockholder notifies us that it has a material arrangement with a broker-dealer for the resale of the common stock, then we would be required to amend the registration statement of which this prospectus is a part and file a prospectus supplement to describe the agreements between the selling stockholder and the broker-dealer.

DESCRIPTION OF SECURITIES

 

Description of Registrant’s Securities to be Registered.

 

We are registering on this Registration Statement only our common stock, the terms of which are described below. However, bec ause our preferred stock will remain outstanding following the effectiveness of this Registration Statement, we also describe below the terms of our preferred stock to the extent such terms qualify the rights of our common stock.

 

Our authorized capital consists of 750,000,000 shares of common stock, par value $.001 per share (the “Common Stock”) and 5,000,000 are shares of preferred stock, par value $.001 per share (the “Preferred Stock”).

Common Stock

 

Holders of the Company’s common stock are entitled to one vote for each share on all matters submitted to a stockholder vote. Holders of common stock do not have cumulative voting rights. Therefore, holders of a majority of the shares of common stock voting for the election of directors can elect all of the directors. Holders of the Company’s common stock representing a majority of the voting power of the Company’s capital stock issued, outstanding and entitled to vote, represented in person or by proxy, are necessary to constitute a quorum at any meeting of stockholders. A vote by the holders of a majority of the Company’s outstanding shares is required to effectuate certain fundamental corporate changes such as liquidation, merger or an amendment to the Company’s articles of incorporation.

 

Holders of the Company’s common stock are entitled to share in all dividends that the board of directors, in its discretion, declares from legally available funds. In the event of a liquidation, dissolution or winding up, each outstanding share entitles its holder to participate pro rata in all assets that remain after payment of liabilities and after providing for each class of stock, if any, having preference over the common stock. The Company’s common stock has no pre-emptive rights, no conversion rights and there are no redemption provisions applicable to the Company’s common stock.

 

On December 28, 2018, the Company’s common stock underwent a 1:4000 reverse stock split. Prior to the reverse stock split, the Company had 10,949,884,000 common shares outstanding. Upon the effective date of the reverse stock split, the Company had 2,737,471 common shares outstanding. Please see NOTE L - CAPITAL STOCK for further information.

 

Preferred Stock

 

Our Articles of Incorporation authorizes the issuance of up to 5,000,000 shares of preferred stock with designations, rights and preferences determined from time to time by its Board of Directors. Accordingly, our Board of Directors is empowered, without stockholder approval, to issue preferred stock with dividend, liquidation, conversion, voting, or other rights which could adversely affect the voting power or other rights of the holders of the common stock. In the event of issuance, the preferred stock could be utilized, under certain circumstances, as a method of discouraging, delaying or preventing a change in control of the Company.

On September 2, 2009, the Board of Directors unanimously approved the designation of a series of preferred stock to be known as “Series A Preferred Stock”. The designations, powers, preferences and rights, and the qualifications, limitations or restrictions hereof, in respect of the Series A Preferred Stock shall be as hereinafter described. The holders of Series A Preferred Stock shall not be entitled to receive dividends nor shall dividends be paid on common stock or any other Series of Preferred Stock while Series A Preferred shares are outstanding.

 

The holders of Series A Preferred Stock shall be entitled to vote on all matters submitted to a vote of the Shareholders of the Company and shall have such number of votes equal to the number of shares of Series A Preferred Stock held on a one per one share basis. Upon the availability of a sufficient number of authorized but unissued and unreserved shares of common stock, the holders of any Series A Preferred Stock shall be entitled to convert such shares in to fully paid and non-assessable shares of common stock at the rate of 7.8 shares of common stock for each share of Series A Preferred Stock only if the Company has failed to satisfy all financial obligations by the designated time inclusive of the cure period. The Board of Directors of the Company, pursuant to authority granted in the Articles of Incorporation, created a series of preferred stock designated as Series A Preferred Stock (the “Series A Preferred Stock”) with a stated value of $0.001 per share. The number of authorized shares constituting the Series A Preferred Stock was Three Million (3,000,000) shares.

 

At March 31, 2019, December 31, 2018 and December 31, 2017, there are 1,000,000 , 1,000,000 and 1,000,000 shares issued and outstanding. If the holder of our Series A Preferred S tock elects to convert the shares into shares of our common stock, this will result in additional dilution to shareholders.

 

On November 14, 2017, the Company’s Board of Directors unanimously approved the designation of a series of preferred stock to be known as “Series D Preferred Stock” with a stated par value of $0.001 per share. The designations, powers, preferences and rights, and the qualifications, limitations or restrictions hereof, in respect of the Series D Preferred Stock shall be as hereinafter described. The holders of Series D Preferred Stock shall not be entitled to receive dividends.

 

The holders of Series D Preferred Stock shall not be entitled to vote on any matters submitted to a vote of the Shareholders of the Company. If at least one share of Series D Preferred Stock is issued and outstanding, then the total aggregate issued shares of Series D Preferred Stock at any given time, regardless of their number, shall have voting rights equal to four times the sum of: i) the total number of shares of Common Stock which are issued and outstanding at the time of voting, plus ii) the total number of shares of Series A, plus Series B, plus Series C Preferred Stocks which are issued and outstanding at the time of voting. Upon the availability of a sufficient number of authorized but unissued and unreserved shares of common stock, the holders of Series D Preferred Stock may at their election convert such shares in to fully paid and non-assessable shares of common stock upon the following formula:

 

Calculation- Each individual share of Series D Preferred Stock shall be convertible into the number of shares of Common Stock equal to:

 

[5000]

 

divided by:

 

[.80 times the lowest closing price of the Company’s common stock for the immediate five-day period prior to the receipt of the Notice of Conversion remitted to the Company by the Series D Preferred stockholder]

 

On December 31, 2017, the Company issued to its President 100 shares of its Series D Preferred Stock. Our President owns all issued and outstanding shares of the Company’s Series D Preferred Stock, which has voting rights equal to four times the sum of: i) the total number of shares of Common Stock which are issued and outstanding at the time of voting, plus ii) the total number of shares of Series A, plus Series B, plus Series C Preferred Stocks which are issued and outstanding at the time of voting. As of the date of this filing, our President would have voting rights equal to 53,485,963 shares (50,311,942 voting shares through the Series D Preferred Stock and 3,174,021 shares of common stock held) or 86.42% of the shares available to vote for a matter brought before shareholders. In the event our President were to convert all 100 shares of Series D Preferred stock into shares of common stock, he would be issued.14,204,545 shares of common stock for a total ownership of 17,378,566 or 67.40% of the issued and outstanding common stock.

 

The number of authorized shares constituting the Series D Preferred Stock is Five Hundred Thousand (500,000) shares. At March 31, 2019, December 31, 2018 and December 31, 2017, there are 100, 100 and 100 shares issued and outstanding, respectively.

Background: Sylios Corp

 

On August 25, 2009, the Company formed Wilon Resources, Inc. in the state of Tennessee. On February 9, 2010, Wilon Resources, Inc. (“Wilon”) merged with and into Wilon Resources of Tennessee, Inc. (“WRT”), a publicly owned Tennessee Corporation. All of the stock of Wilon owned by the Company was acquired by WRT for consideration equal to 1,000 shares of WRT for every one share of Wilon held by the Company. Subsequent to the merger, Wilon approved the use of the name Wilon Resources, Inc. by WRT.

 

On September 4, 2009, the Company entered into a lender acquisition agreement with SLMI Holdings, LLC, a Nevada Limited Liability Company. Through this agreement, the Company acquired SLMI Options, LLC. The sole purpose of this acquisition of SLMI Options, LLC is to hold three commercial notes issued by Wilon Resources, Inc., (formerly “Wilon Resources of Tennessee, Inc.”) in the years 2005 through 2007.

 

On February 1, 2010, the Company formed US Natural Gas Corp in the state of Florida. Subsequently, on March 22, 2010 the Company changed the name to US Natural Gas Corp KY.

Trademarks

 

The success of our business depends on our continued ability to use our existing trade name in order to increase our brand awareness. In that regard, we believe that our trade name is valuable asset that is critical to our success. As of the date of this prospectus, we have not submitted a trademark application for our name, Sylios Corp or that of any of our subsidiaries. In the event the Company does file an application, there is no guarantee that the U.S. Patent and Trademark Office will grant us a trademark. The unauthorized use or other misappropriation of our trade name could diminish the value of our business concept and may cause a decline in our revenue.

 

Competitors, Methods of Completion, Competitive Business Conditions

 

We are in direct competition with numerous oil and natural gas companies, drilling and income programs and partnerships exploring various areas of the Appalachian Basin and elsewhere competing for customers. Several of our competitors are large, well-known oil and gas and/or energy companies, but no single entity dominates the industry. Many of our competitors possess greater financial and personnel resources, sometimes enabling them to identify and acquire more economically desirable energy producing properties and drilling prospects than us. We are more of a regional operator, and have the traditional competitive strengths of one, including recently established contacts and in-depth knowledge of the local geography.  Additionally, there is increasing competition from other fuel choices to supply the energy needs of consumers and industry. Management believes that there exists a viable market - place for smaller producers of natural gas and oil and for operators of smaller natural gas transmission systems.

 

We believe our equity holding in The Greater Cannabis Company, Inc. faces significant direct competition in the cannabis and CBD sector. There are several direct competitors such as General Cannabis Corp, Kushco Holdings and Cannabics Pharmaceuticals just to name a few. In addition, our equity holding in AMDAQ Corp also faces significant competition with several direct competitors such as Blockchain Industries, Inc., BTCS, Inc., Hive Blockchain Technologies, Ltd and Riot Blockchain.

 

Legal Proceedings

 

From time to time we may be a defendant and plaintiff in various legal proceedings arising in the normal course of our business. We are currently not a party to any material pending legal proceedings or government actions, including any bankruptcy, receivership, or similar proceedings. In addition, management is not aware of any known litigation or liabilities involving the operators of our properties that could affect our operations. Should any liabilities be incurred in the future, they will be accrued based on management’s best estimate of the potential loss. As such, there is no adverse effect on our consolidated financial position, results of operations or cash flow at this time. Furthermore, Management of the Company does not believe that there are any proceedings to which any director, officer, or affiliate of the Company, any owner of record of the beneficially or more than five percent of the common stock of the Company, or any associate of any such director, officer, affiliate of the Company, or security holder is a party adverse to the Company or has a material interest adverse to the Company.

Financing Needs

 

In order to fund our operations, we rely upon direct investments, partnerships and joint ventures with accredited investors. Once the Company becomes profitable, we intend to fund our operations from free cash flow.

 

At present, the Company only has sufficient funds to conduct its operations for three to six months. There can be no assurance that additional financing will be available in amounts or on terms acceptable to the Company, if at all.

 

If we are not successful in generating sufficient liquidity from Company operations or in raising sufficient capital resources, on terms acceptable to us, this could have a material adverse effect on the Company’s business, results of operations liquidity and financial condition.

 

The Company presently does not have any available credit, bank financing or other external sources of liquidity. Due to its brief history and historical operating losses, the Company’s operations have not been a source of liquidity. The Company will need to obtain additional capital in order to expand operations and become profitable. In order to obtain capital, the Company may need to sell additional shares of its common stock or borrow funds from private lenders. There can be no assurance that the Company will be successful in obtaining additional funding.

 

The Company will need additional investments in order to continue operations. Additional investments are being sought, but the Company cannot guarantee that it will be able to obtain such investments. Financing transactions may include the issuance of equity or debt securities, obtaining credit facilities, or other financing mechanisms. In the event there is a downturn in the U.S. stock and debt markets, this could make it more difficult to obtain financing through the issuance of equity or debt securities. Even if the Company is able to raise the funds required, it is possible that it could incur unexpected costs and expenses, fail to collect significant amounts owed to it, or experience unexpected cash requirements that would force it to seek alternative financing. Further, if the Company issues additional equity or debt securities, stockholders may experience additional dilution or the new equity securities may have rights, preferences or privileges senior to those of existing holders.

Since our inception on March 28, 2008, we have generated minimal revenue from our operations. We cannot guarantee we will be successful in our business operations.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

53
 

 

We currently have no external sources of liquidity such as arrangements with credit institutions or off-balance sheet arrangements that will have or are reasonably likely to have a current or future effect on our financial condition or immediate access to capital.

 

We are dependent on the sale of our securities to fund our operations and will remain so until we generate sufficient revenues to pay for our operating costs. Our officers and directors have made no written commitments with respect to providing a source of liquidity in the form of cash advances, loans and/or financial guarantees.

 

If we are unable to raise the funds, we will seek alternative financing through means such as borrowings from institutions or private individuals. There can be no assurance that we will be able to raise the capital we need for our operations from the sale of our securities. We have not located any sources for these funds and may not be able to do so in the future. We expect that we will seek additional financing in the future. However, we may not be able to obtain additional capital or generate sufficient revenues to fund our operations. If we are unsuccessful at raising sufficient funds, for whatever reason, to fund our operations, we may be forced to cease operations. If we fail to raise funds, we expect that we will be required to seek protection from creditors under applicable bankruptcy laws.

 

Our independent registered public accounting firm has expressed doubt about our ability to continue as a going concern and believes that our ability is dependent on our ability to implement our business plan, raise capital and generate revenues. Please see NOTE O- GOING CONCERN UNCERTAINITY for further information.

 

Notes payable, third parties

 

Our Notes payable, third parties was $1,358,491, $1,440,242 and $1,537,840 at March 31, 2019, December 31, 2018 and December 31, 2017, respectively.

Please see NOTE I – NOTES PAYABLE, RELATED PARTIES for a full schedule of all notes payable to related parties, including issue date, maturity date and interest rate.

 

Use of Cash

 

We had net cash provided (used) in operating activities for the three months ended March 31, 2019 and years ended December 31, 2018 and December 31, 2017 of ($56,397), ($39,252) and ($121,882), respectively.

Required Capital Over the Next Fiscal Year

 

We expect to incur losses from operations for the near future. We believe we will have to raise an additional $500,000 to fund our operations through the end of the 2019 fiscal year, including roughly $50,000 to remain current in our filings with the SEC.

 

Future financing may include the issuance of equity or debt securities, obtaining credit facilities, or other financing mechanisms. Even if we are able to raise the funds required, it is possible that we could incur unexpected costs and expenses or experience unexpected cash requirements that would force us to seek alternative financing.

Critical Accounting Estimates

 

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America 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 date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates.

Indemnification for Securities Act Liabilities

 

Our Certificate of Incorporation provides to the fullest extent permitted by Florida Law that our directors or officers shall not be personally liable to us or our shareholders for damages for breach of such director’s or officer’s fiduciary duty. The effect of this provision of our Articles of Incorporation is to eliminate our rights and our shareholders (through shareholders’ derivative suits on behalf of our company) to recover damages against a director or officer for breach of the fiduciary duty of care as a director or officer (including breaches resulting from negligent or grossly negligent behavior), except under certain situations defined by statute. We believe that the indemnification provisions in our Articles of Incorporation, as amended, are necessary to attract and retain qualified persons as directors and officers.

 

Our By-Laws also provide that the Board of Directors may also authorize us to indemnify our employees or agents, and to advance the reasonable expenses of such persons, to the same extent, following the same determinations and upon the same conditions as are required for the indemnification of and advancement of expenses to our directors and officers. As of the date of this Registration Statement, the Board of Directors has not extended indemnification rights to persons other than directors and officers.

 

Insofar as indemnification for liabilities arising under the Securities Act of 1933 may be permitted to directors, officers or persons controlling us pursuant to the foregoing provisions, or otherwise, we have been advised that in the opinion of the Securities and Exchange Commission, such indemnification is against public policy as expressed in the Securities Act of 1933 and is, therefore, unenforceable.

REPORT OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM

 

To the Board of Directors and Stockholders of Sylios Corp:

 

Opinion on the Financial Statements

 

I have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheets of Sylios Corp (the “Company”) as of December 31, 2018 and 2017 and the related consolidated statements of operations, stockholders’ (deficiency), and cash flows for the years then ended, and the related notes (collectively referred to as the “financial statements”). In my opinion, the financial statements present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of Sylios Corp as of December 31, 2018 and 2017 and the results of its operations and cash flows for the years then ended in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States.

 

Going Concern Uncertainty

 

The accompanying financial statements referred to above have been prepared assuming that the Company will continue as a going concern. As discussed in Note O to the financial statements, the Company’s present financial situation raises substantial doubt about its ability to continue as a going concern. Management’s plans in regard to this matter are also described in Note O. The financial statements do not include any adjustments that might result from the outcome of this uncertainty.

 

Basis for Opinion

 

These financial statements are the responsibility of the Company’s management. My responsibility is to express an opinion on the Company’s financial statements based on my audit. We are a public accounting firm registered with the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States) (“PCAOB”) and are required to be independent with respect to the Company in accordance with the U.S. federal securities laws and the applicable rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission and the PCAOB.

 

I conducted my audit in accordance with the standards of the PCAOB. Those standards require that I plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement, whether due to error or fraud. The Company is not required to have, nor was I engaged to perform, an audit of its internal control over financial reporting. As part of my audit I am required to obtain an understanding of internal control over financial reporting but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the Company’s internal control over financial reporting. Accordingly, I express no such opinion.

 

My audit included performing procedures to assess the risks of material misstatement of the financial statements, whether due to error or fraud, and performing procedures that respond to those risks. Such procedures included examining, on a test basis, evidence regarding the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. My audit also included evaluating the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall presentation of the financial statements. I believe that my audit provides a reasonable basis for my opinion.

NOTES TO THE CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

For the years ended December 31, 2018 and 2017 and for the three months ended March 31, 2019 and 2018 (unaudited)

 

NOTE A – ORGANIZATION

 

Sylios Corp (f/k/a US Natural Gas Corp) (“Sylios”, the “Company”, “we”, “us”, or “our”) was organized as a Florida Corporation on March 28, 2008 under the name of Adventure Energy, Inc. Sylios has three wholly owned subsidiaries: (i) US Natural Gas Corp KY (“USNG KY”), a corporation incorporated in Florida on February 1, 2010; (ii) US Natural Gas Corp WV (“USNG WV”) a corporation incorporated in Tennessee on August 25, 2009 and redomiciled in Florida on April 26, 2010; and (iii) E 3 Petroleum Corp (“E 3”) a corporation incorporated in Florida on February 2, 2010.

 

Effective March 10, 2017, Sylios distributed approximately 80.01% of the common stock of The Greater Cannabis Company, Inc. (“GCAN”), a former wholly owned subsidiary of Sylios organized in Florida on March 13, 2014. Please see NOTE F - INVESTMENTS IN AND ADVANCES TO SPUN-OFF FORMER SUBSIDIARIES for further information.

 

Effective October 2, 2017, Sylios distributed approximately 41.05% of the common stock of AMDAQ Corp (formerly E 2 Investments, LLC) (“AMDAQ”), a former wholly owned subsidiary of Sylios organized in Florida on July 20, 2009. Please see NOTE F - INVESTMENTS IN AND ADVANCES TO SPUN-OFF FORMER SUBSIDIARIES and NOTE P- SUBSEQUENT EVENTS for further information.

 

Effective December 28, 2018, Sylios effected a 1 share for 4,000 shares reverse stock split of its common stock reducing the number of issued and outstanding shares of its common stock from 10,949,884,000 to 2,737,471 shares. The accompanying financial statements retroactively reflect the reverse stock split.

 

Sylios owns vacant land in Macon, GA, which subject to receipt of adequate financing, it plans upon developing a storage facility for customer rentals. Please see NOTE C - PROPERTY AND EQUIPMENT for further information. USNG KY was granted royalty interests in 13 oil and gas wells in Kentucky (that had been shut-in since 2014) that it had acquired several years prior to the year ended December 31, 2017, which were sold to a third party in 2018. Please see NOTE D - OIL AND GAS ROYALTY INTERESTS for further information.

NOTE B - SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (continued)

 

Cash Equivalents

 

Investments having an original maturity of 90 days or less that are readily convertible into cash are considered to be cash equivalents. For the periods presented, the Company had no cash equivalents.

 

Income Taxes

 

In accordance with Accounting Standards Codification (ASC) 740 - Income Taxes, the provision for income taxes is computed using the asset and liability method. The asset and liability method measures deferred income taxes by applying enacted statutory rates in effect at the balance sheet date to the differences between the tax basis of assets and liabilities and their reported amounts on the financial statements. The resulting deferred tax assets or liabilities are adjusted to reflect changes in tax laws as they occur. A valuation allowance is provided when it is not more likely than not that a deferred tax asset will be realized.

 

We expect to recognize the financial statement benefit of an uncertain tax position only after considering the probability that a tax authority would sustain the position in an examination. For tax positions meeting a “more-likely-than-not” threshold, the amount to be recognized in the financial statements will be the benefit expected to be realized upon settlement with the tax authority. For tax positions not meeting the threshold, no financial statement benefit is recognized. As of December 31, 2018, we had no uncertain tax positions. We recognize interest and penalties, if any, related to uncertain tax positions as general and administrative expenses. We currently have no federal or state tax examinations nor have we had any federal or state examinations since our inception. To date, we have not incurred any interest or tax penalties.

 

Financial Instruments and Fair Value of Financial Instruments

 

We adopted ASC Topic 820, Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures , for assets and liabilities measured at fair value on a recurring basis. ASC Topic 820 establishes a common definition for fair value to be applied to existing US GAAP that requires the use of fair value measurements that establishes a framework for measuring fair value and expands disclosure about such fair value measurements.

 

ASC 820 defines fair value as the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date. Additionally, ASC Topic 820 requires the use of valuation techniques that maximize the use of observable inputs and minimize the use of unobservable inputs. These inputs are prioritized below:

 

Level 1:   Observable inputs such as quoted market prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities
Level 2:   Observable market-based inputs or unobservable inputs that are corroborated by market data
Level 3:   Unobservable inputs for which there is little or no market data, which require the use of the reporting entity’s own assumptions.

 

The carrying value of financial assets and liabilities recorded at fair value is measured on a recurring or nonrecurring basis. Financial assets and liabilities measured on a recurring basis are those that are adjusted to fair value each time a financial statement is prepared. Financial assets and liabilities measured on a non-recurring basis are those that are adjusted to fair value when a significant event occurs. Except for the derivative liability, we had no financial assets or liabilities carried and measured at fair value on a recurring or nonrecurring basis during the periods presented.

 

Oil and Gas Properties

 

The Company has adopted the successful efforts method of accounting for oil and gas producing activities. Under the successful efforts method, costs to acquire mineral interests in oil and gas properties, to drill and equip exploratory wells that find proved reserves, and to drill and equip developmental wells are capitalized. Costs to drill exploratory wells that do not find proved reserves, costs of developmental wells on properties the Company has no further interest in, geological and geophysical costs, and costs of carrying and retaining unproved properties are expensed.

NOTES TO THE CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

For the years ended December 31, 2018 and 2017 and for the three months ended March 31, 2019 and 2018 (unaudited)

 

NOTE B - SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (continued)

 

When a property is determined to contain proved reserves, the capitalized costs of such properties are transferred from unproved properties to proved properties and are amortized by the unit-of-production method based upon estimated proved developed reserves. To the extent that capitalized costs of groups of proved properties having similar characteristics exceed the estimated future net cash flows, the excess, if any, of capitalized costs are written down to the present value of such amounts. Estimated future net cash flows are determined based primarily upon the estimated future proved reserves related to the Company’s current proved properties and, to a lesser extent, certain future net cash flows related to operating and related fees. The Company follows U.S. GAAP in Accounting for Impairments.

 

On sale or abandonment of an entire interest in a proved property, gain or loss is recognized, taking into consideration the amount of any recorded impairment. If a partial interest in a proved property is sold, the amount received is treated as a reduction of the cost of the interest retained. (Please see NOTE D - OIL AND GAS ROYALTY INTERESTS for further information.).

 

Derivative Liabilities

 

We evaluate convertible notes payable, stock options, stock warrants and other contracts to determine if those contracts or embedded components of those contracts qualify as derivatives to be separately accounted for under the relevant sections of ASC Topic 815-40, Derivative Instruments and Hedging: Contracts in Entity’s Own Equity .

 

The result of this accounting treatment could be that the fair value of a financial instrument is classified as a derivative instrument and is marked-to-market at each balance sheet date and recorded as a liability. In the event that the fair value is recorded as a liability, the change in fair value is recorded in the statement of operations as other income or other expense. Upon conversion or exercise of a derivative instrument, the instrument is marked to fair value at the conversion date and then that fair value is reclassified to equity. Financial instruments that are initially classified as equity that become subject to reclassification under ASC Topic 815-40 are reclassified to a liability account at the fair value of the instrument on the reclassification date.

 

Long-lived Assets

 

Long-lived assets such as property and equipment and intangible assets are periodically reviewed for impairment. We test for impairment losses on long-lived assets used in operations whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of the asset may not be recoverable. Recoverability of an asset to be held and used is measured by a comparison of the carrying amount of an asset to the future undiscounted cash flows expected to be generated by the asset. If such asset is considered to be impaired, the impairment to be recognized is measured by the amount by which the carrying amount of the asset exceeds its fair value. Impairment evaluations involve management’s estimates on asset useful lives and future cash flows. Actual useful lives and cash flows could be different from those estimated by management which could have a material effect on our reporting results and financial positions. Fair value is determined through various valuation techniques including discounted cash flow models, quoted market values and third-party independent appraisals, as considered necessary.

 

Marketable Equity Securities

 

Marketable equity securities are stated at lower of cost or market value with unrealized gains and losses included in operations. The Company has classified its marketable equity securities as trading securities.

 

Deferred Financing Costs

 

Deferred financing costs represent costs incurred in the connection with obtaining debt financing. These costs are amortized ratably and charged to financing expenses over the term of the related debt.

NOTE B - SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (continued)

 

Equity Instruments Issued to Non-Employees for Acquiring Goods or Services

 

Issuances of our common stock or warrants for acquiring goods or services are measured at the fair value of the consideration received or the fair value of the equity instruments issued, whichever is more reliably measurable. The measurement date for the fair value of the equity instruments issued to consultants or vendors is determined at the earlier of (i) the date at which a commitment for performance to earn the equity instruments is reached (a “performance commitment” which would include a penalty considered to be of a magnitude that is a sufficiently large disincentive for nonperformance) or (ii) the date at which performance is complete.

 

Although situations may arise in which counter performance may be required over a period of time, the equity award granted to the party performing the service is fully vested and non-forfeitable on the date of the agreement. As a result, in this situation in which vesting periods do not exist if the instruments are fully vested on the date of agreement, we determine such date to be the measurement date and will record the estimated fair market value of the instruments granted as a prepaid expense and amortize such amount to expense over the contract period. When it is appropriate for us to recognize the cost of a transaction during financial reporting periods prior to the measurement date, for purposes of recognition of costs during those periods, the equity instrument is measured at the then-current fair values.

 

Stock-Based Compensation

 

We account for share-based awards to employees in accordance with ASC 718 “Stock Compensation”. Under this guidance, stock compensation expense is measured at the grant date, based on the fair value of the award, and is recognized as an expense over the estimated service period (generally the vesting period) on the straight-line attribute method. Share-based awards to non-employees are accounted for in accordance with ASC 505-50 “Equity”, wherein such awards are expensed over the period in which the related services are rendered.

 

Related Parties

 

A party is considered to be related to us if the party directly or indirectly or through one or more intermediaries, controls, is controlled by, or is under common control with us. Related parties also include our principal owners, our management, members of the immediate families of our principal owners and our management and other parties with which we 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. A party which can significantly influence the management or operating policies of the transacting parties, or if it has 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, is also a related party.

 

Revenue Recognition

 

Revenue is recognized when all of the following criteria are met: (1) persuasive evidence of an arrangement exists, (2) the price is fixed or determinable, (3) collectability is reasonably assured, and (4) delivery has occurred.

 

Advertising Costs

 

Advertising costs are expensed as incurred. For the periods presented, we had no advertising costs.

 

Loss per Share

 

We compute net loss per share in accordance with FASB ASC 260. The ASC specifies the computation, presentation and disclosure requirements for loss per share for entities with publicly held common stock.

 

Basic loss per share amounts are computed by dividing the net loss by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding. Diluted net loss per common share is computed on the basis of the weighted average number of common shares and dilutive securities (such as stock options, warrants and convertible securities) outstanding. Dilutive securities having an anti-dilutive effect on diluted net loss per share are excluded from the calculation. For the years ended December 31, 2018 and 2017 and for the three months ended March 31, 2019 and 2018, the Company excluded 216,001,429, 2,607,816, 55,637,987 and 11,369,218 shares, respectively relating to convertible notes payable to third parties (Please see NOTE H - NOTES PAYABLE, THIRD PARTIES for further information), 7,800,000, 7,800,000, 7,800,000 and 7,800,000 shares, respectively, relating to the Series A Preferred stock and 15,547,264, 0, 31,250,000 and 1,562,500 shares, respectively, relating to the Series D Preferred stock from the calculation of diluted shares outstanding as the effect of their inclusion would be anti-dilutive.

NOTE B - SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (continued)

 

Recently Enacted Accounting Standards

 

In May 2014, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) issued Accounting Standards Update (ASU) No. 2014-09, Revenue from Contracts with Customers, which will supersede nearly all existing revenue recognition guidance under U.S. GAAP. The core principle of ASU 2014-09 is to recognize revenues when promised goods or services are transferred to customers in an amount that reflects the consideration to which an entity expects to be entitled for those goods or services. ASU 2014-09 defines a five-step process to achieve this core principle and, in doing so, more judgment and estimates may be required within the revenue recognition process than are required under existing U.S. GAAP. As amended by the FASB in July 2015, the standard is effective for annual periods beginning after December 15, 2017, and interim periods therein, using either of the following transition methods: (i) a full retrospective approach reflecting the application of the standard in each prior reporting period with the option to elect certain practical expedients, or (ii) a retrospective approach with the cumulative effect of initially adopting ASU 2014-09 recognized at the date of adoption (which includes additional footnote disclosures). ASU 2014-09 has not had an y significant effect on our Financial statements for the periods presented .

 

In February 2016, the FASB issued ASU No. 2016-02, Leases (Topic 842), to provide guidance on recognizing lease assets and lease liabilities on the balance sheet and disclosing key information about leasing arrangements, specifically differentiating between different types of leases. The core principle of Topic 842 is that a lessee should recognize the assets and liabilities that arise from all leases. The recognition, measurement, and presentation of expenses and cash flows arising from a lease by a lessee have not significantly changed from previous GAAP. There continues to be a differentiation between finance leases and operating leases. However, the principal difference from previous guidance is that the lease assets and lease liabilities arising from operating leases should be recognized in the balance sheet. The accounting applied by a lessor is largely unchanged from that applied under previous GAAP. The amendments will be effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2018, including interim periods within those fiscal years, and early adoption is permitted. In transition, lessees and lessors are required to recognize and measure leases at the beginning of the earliest period presented using a modified retrospective approach. The modified retrospective approach includes a number of optional practical expedients that entities may elect to apply. These practical expedients relate to the identification and classification of leases that commenced before the effective date, initial direct costs for leases that commenced before the effective date, and the ability to use hindsight in evaluating lessee options to extend or terminate a lease or to purchase the underlying asset. An entity that elects to apply the practical expedients will, in effect, continue to account for leases that commence before the effective date in accordance with previous GAAP unless the lease is modified, except that lessees are required to recognize a right-of-use asset and a lease liability for all operating leases at each reporting date based on the present value of the remaining minimum rental payments that were tracked and disclosed under previous GAAP. ASU No. 2016-02 has not had any significant effect on our Financial statements for the periods presented .

 

On July 13, 2017, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) issued Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) 2017-11. Among other things, ASU 2017-11 provides guidance that eliminates the requirement to consider “down round” features when determining whether certain financial instruments or embedded features are indexed to an entity’s stock and need to be classified as liabilities. ASU 2017-11 provides for entities to recognize the effect of a down round feature only when it is triggered and then as a dividend and a reduction to income available to common stockholders in basic earnings per share. The guidance is effective for annual periods beginning after December 15, 2018; early adoption is permitted.

 

The Company has early adopted ASU 2017-11. As a result, we have not recognized the fair value of the warrants containing down round features as liabilities. Please see NOTE L - CAPITAL STOCK for further information.

 

Use of Estimates

 

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America 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 date of the financial statements and reported amounts of revenue and expenses during the reporting periods. Actual results could differ from those estimates.

NOTE B - SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (continued)

 

Fair Value of Financial Instruments

 

The Company defines the fair value of a financial instrument as the amount at which the instrument could be exchanged in a current transaction between willing parties. Financial instruments included in the Company’s financial statements include cash, accounts payable and accrued expenses, accrued interest payable, loans payable to related parties, notes payable to third parties, notes payable to related par t ies and derivative liability. Unless otherwise disclosed in the notes to the financial statements, the carrying value of financial instruments is considered to approximate fair value due to the short maturity and characteristics of those instruments. The carrying value of debt approximates fair value as terms approximate those currently available for similar debt instruments.

Totals   $ -     $ -     $ 10,000  

 

(1) Pursuant to an Asset Purchase Agreement dated May 10, 2018, USNG KY was granted a royalty interest resulting from the sale of these wells equal to 30% of the gross proceeds of production from the 13 wells and 10% of the gross proceeds of production from any new drilled wells on the sold leases up to a maximum of $140,000. From 2014 to the date of issuance of these Financial statements, there has been no production from these wells.

 

No gain or loss has been recognized from the sale of these wells. No guaranteed royalty revenue was granted to the Company in the sale, only a royalty interest dependent on future production. There was no remaining carrying value for these wells at the time of the sale as the wells were fully impaired prior to the year ended December 31, 2017.

 

(2) Represents a 79.5% royalty interest up to $11,500 and a 15% royalty interest thereafter. From September 2015 to the date of issuance of these Financial statements, there has been no production from this well. Effective December 31, 2018, the Company recognized an impairment loss of $7,500 and reduced the carrying cost of this asset from $7,500 to $0.

 

(3) Represents a 5% royalty interest. From September 2015 to the date of issuance of these Financial statements, there has been no production from this well. Effective December 31, 2018, the Company recognized an impairment loss of $2,500 and reduced the carrying cost of this asset from $2,500 to $0.

 

NOTE E – OIL AND GAS OPERATING BONDS

 

The Company is required to put up for bond either cash or a Surety bond for each well it elects to act as operator. The amount of the bond is calculated based on the total depth of the well. In the event the Company were to abandon the wells, the Kentucky Department of Natural Resources would claim the cash bond and use the funds for reclamation.

 

The Company hopes to reclaim the cash bonds totaling $24,500 for the 13 wells sold in the Asset Purchase Agreement with Soligen Technologies, Inc. when Soligen replaces the Company’s cash bonds by funding with its own bond, which has not yet occurred at the date of issuance of these Financial statements.

(1) The debt modifications with SLMI Energy Holdings, LLC (“SLMI”) provide that in the event that the Company does not make a payment to SMLI within 30 days written notice of demand by SLMI, all unpaid interest accruing since September 4, 2009 (in the case of the original September 4, 2009 Note) and accruing since November 12, 2009 (in the case of the original November 12, 2009 Note) shall accrue at a 18% default interest rate rather than the 3% stated interest rate in the Renewal Notes. If that had occurred on December 31, 2018, the additional default interest accruable would have been approximately $1,200,000. As of the date of the issuance of these Financial statements, SLMI has not provided the Company any notice of demand for payment and accordingly, the Company is not in default of these obligations.

 

(2) As of the date of the issuance of these Financial statements, waivers of the additional default interest for both Darling and Tangiers obligations remain in effect. However, the Company is still in technical default for the principal and stated interest of these significantly past-due convertible promissory notes.

NOTE J - DERIVATIVE LIABILITY (continued)

 

The Convertible Promissory Notes (the “Notes”) contain a variable conversion feature based on the future trading price of the Company’s common stock. Therefore, the number of shares of common stock issuable upon conversion of the Notes is indeterminate. Accordingly, we have recorded the fair value of the embedded conversion features as a derivative liability at the respective issuance dates of the notes and charged the applicable amounts to debt discounts (limited to the face value of the respective notes) and the remainder to other expenses. The increase (decrease) in the fair value of the derivative liability from the respective issue dates of the notes to the measurement dates is charged (credited) to other expense (income).

NOTE K – ASSET RETIREMENT OBLIGATIONS

 

The Company’s asset retirement obligations relate to future plugging and abandonment costs relating to the 13 oil and gas wells located in Kentucky, which were sold to Soligen Technologies, Inc. (“Soligen”) on May 10, 2018 (Please see NOTE D -OIL AND GAS ROYALTY INTERESTS for further information). The $64,500 liability was estimated by management at December 31, 2018 based upon a number of factors including the depth of the wells and the regional reclamation, plugging and abandonment costs. No change in the estimate of $64,500 has been recognized from December 31, 2016 to March 31, 2019 .

 

If and when Soligen replaces our operating bond on deposit with the Kentucky Department of Natural R esources, Soligen will then become responsible for the asset retirement obligations relating to the 13 wells and we will writeoff the then balance of the asset retirement obligations liability.

NOTE M - INCOME TAXES

 

The provision for (benefit from) income taxes differs from the amount computed by applying the statutory United States federal income tax rate for the periods presented to income (loss) before income taxes. The income tax rate was 21% for the three months ended March 31, 2019 and 2018 and year ended December 31, 2018 and 35% for the year ended December 31, 2017. The sources of the difference are as follows:

  (a)

As a result of the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act enacted on December 22, 2017, the United States corporate income tax rate is 21% effective January 1, 2018. Accordingly, we reduced our deferred income tax asset relating to our net operating loss carryforward (and the valuation allowance thereon) by $1,490,874 from $3,727,185 to $2,236,311 as of December 31, 2017.

 

All tax years remain subject to examination by the Internal Revenue Service.

 

Significant components of the Company’s deferred income tax are as follows:

    March 31, 2019     December 31, 2018     December 31, 2017  
Unpaid accrued officer and director compensation   $ 73,045     $ 168,910     $ 121,043  
Net operating loss carry-forwards     2,374,280       2,062,344       2,115,268  
Valuation allowance     (2,447,325 )     (2,231,254 )     (2,236,311 )
Net non-current deferred tax asset   $

-

    $ -     $ -  

 

Based on management’s present assessment, the Company has not yet determined it to be more likely than not that a deferred tax asset of $2,231,254 attributable to the future utilization of the $804,335 timing difference relating to unpaid officer and director compensation and the $9,820,686 net operating loss carryforward as of December 31, 2018 will be realized. Accordingly, the Company has provided a 100% allowance against the deferred tax asset in the financial statements at December 31, 2018. The Company will continue to review this valuation allowance and make adjustments as appropriate. $10,072,705 of the net operating loss carryforward expires in varying amounts from year 2026 to year 2037.

 

Current tax laws limit the amount of loss available to be offset against future taxable income when a substantial change in ownership occurs. Therefore, the amount available to offset future taxable income may be limited.

NOTES TO THE CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

For the years ended December 31, 2018 and 2017 and for the three months ended March 31, 2019 and 2018 (unaudited)

 

NOTE O - GOING CONCERN UNCERTAINITY

 

Under ASC 205-40, we have the responsibility to evaluate whether conditions and/or events raise substantial doubt about our ability to meet our future financial obligations as they become due within one year after the date that the financial statements are issued. As required by this standard, our evaluation shall initially not take into consideration the potential mitigating effects of our plans that have not been fully implemented as of the date the financial statements are issued.

 

In performing the first step of this assessment, we concluded that the following conditions raise substantial doubt about our ability to meet our financial obligations as they become due. We have a history of net losses: As of March 31, 2019, we had an accumulated deficit of $13,999,183 . For the three months ended March 31, 2019 and years ended December 31, 2018 and 2017, we used cash from operating activities of $56,397, $29,252 and $121,882, respectively. We expect to continue to incur negative cash flows until such time as our operating segments generate sufficient cash inflows to finance our operations and debt service requirements.

 

In performing the second step of this assessment, we are required to evaluate whether our plans to mitigate the conditions above alleviate the substantial doubt about our ability to meet our obligations as they become due within one year after the date that the financial statements are issued. Our future plans include securing additional funding sources that may include establishing corporate partnerships, establishing licensing revenue agreements, issuing additional convertible debentures and issuing public or private equity securities, including selling common stock through an at-the-market facility (ATM).

 

There is no assurance that sufficient funds required during the next year or thereafter will be generated from operations or that funds will be available through external sources. The lack of additional capital resulting from the inability to generate cash flow from operations or to raise capital from external sources would force the Company to substantially curtail or cease operations and would, therefore, have a material effect on the business. Furthermore, there can be no assurance that any such required funds, if available, will be available on attractive terms or they will not have a significant dilutive effect on the Company’s existing shareholders. We have therefore concluded there is substantial doubt about our ability to continue as a going concern through June 2020.

 

The accompanying consolidated financial statements have been prepared on a going-concern basis, which contemplates the realization of assets and the satisfaction of liabilities in the normal course of business. The accompanying consolidated financial statements do not include any adjustments to reflect the possible future effects on the recoverability and classification of assets or the amounts and classification of liabilities that may result from our failure to continue as a going concern.

The undersigned Company hereby undertakes to:

 

(1) To file, during any period in which offers or sales are being made, a post-effective amendment to this registration statement:

 

  (i) To include any prospectus required by Section 10(a)(3) of the Securities Act of 1933;
     
  (ii) To reflect in the prospectus any facts or events arising after the effective date of the registration statement (or the most recent post-effective amendment thereof) which, individually or in the aggregate, represent a fundamental change in the information set forth in the registration statement. Notwithstanding the foregoing, any increase or decrease in volume of securities offered (if the total dollar value of securities offered would not exceed that which was registered) and any deviation from the low or high end of the estimated maximum offering range may be reflected in the form of prospectus filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission pursuant to Rule 424(b) if, in the aggregate, the changes in volume and price represent no more than a 20 percent change in the maximum aggregate offering price set forth in the “Calculation of Registration Fee” table in the effective registration statement, and
     
  (iii) To include any material information with respect to the plan of distribution not previously disclosed in the registration statement or any material change to such information in the registration statement.

 

(2) That, for the purpose of determining any liability under the Securities Act of 1933, each such post-effective amendment shall be deemed to be a new registration statement relating to the securities offered therein, and the offering of such securities at that time shall be deemed to be the initial bona fide offering thereof.
   
(3) To remove from registration by means of a post-effective amendment any of the securities being registered which remain unsold at the termination of the offering.

 

Insofar as indemnification for liabilities arising under the Securities Act of 1933 may be permitted to directors, officers and controlling persons of the registrant pursuant to the foregoing provisions, or otherwise, the registrant has been advised that in the opinion of the Securities and Exchange Commission such indemnification is against public policy as expressed in the Securities Act and is, therefore, unenforceable. In the event that a claim for indemnification against such liabilities (other than the payment by the registrant of expenses incurred or paid by a director, officer or controlling person of the registrant in the successful defense of any action, suit or proceeding) is asserted by such director, officer or controlling person in connection with the securities being registered, the registrant will, unless in the opinion of its counsel the matter has been settled by controlling precedent, submit to a court of appropriate jurisdiction the question whether such indemnification by it is against public policy as expressed in the Securities Act and will be governed by the final adjudication of such issue.

 

The undersigned registrant hereby undertakes:

 

That, for the purpose of determining liability under the Securities Act of 1933 to any purchaser, each prospectus filed pursuant to Rule 424(b) as part of a registration statement relating to an offering, other than registration statements relying on Rule 430B or other than prospectuses filed in reliance on Rule 430A, shall be deemed to be part of and included in the registration statement as of the date it is first used after effectiveness. Provided, however, that no statement made in a registration statement or prospectus that is part of the registration statement or made in a document incorporated or deemed incorporated by reference into the registration statement or prospectus that is part of the registration statement will, as to a purchaser with a time of contract of sale prior to such first use, supersede or modify any statement that was made in the registration statement or prospectus that was part of the registration statement or made in any such document immediately prior to such date of first use.

 

That, for the purpose of determining liability of the registrant under the Securities Act of 1933 to any purchaser in the initial distribution of the securities:

 

The undersigned registrant undertakes that in a primary offering of securities of the undersigned registrant pursuant to this registration statement, regardless of the underwriting method used to sell the securities to the purchaser, if the securities are offered or sold to such purchaser by means of any of the following communications, the undersigned registrant will be a seller to the purchaser and will be considered to offer or sell such securities to such purchaser:

 

  (i) Any preliminary prospectus or prospectus of the undersigned registrant relating to the offering required to be filed pursuant to Rule 424;
     
  (ii) Any free writing prospectus relating to the offering prepared by or on behalf of the undersigned registrant or used or referred to by the undersigned registrant;
     
  (iii) The portion of any other free writing prospectus relating to the offering containing material information about the undersigned registrant or its securities provided by or on behalf of the undersigned registrant; and
     
  (iv) Any other communication that is an offer in the offering made by the undersigned registrant to the purchaser.

Ladies and Gentlemen:

 

I have acted, at your request, as special counsel to Sylios Corp., a Florida corporation, (“Sylios”) for the purpose of rendering an opinion as to the legality of shares of Sylios’s common stock, par value $0.001 per share, (“Shares”) to be offered and distributed by selling shareholders of Sylios pursuant to a registration statement to be filed under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, by Sylios with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) on Form S-1, for the purpose of registering the offer and sale of the Shares (“Registration Statement”).

 

It is my opinion that the 637,500 shares that are currently issued and outstanding are legally issued, fully paid and non-assessable. Further, it is my opinion that the 6,750,000 shares of common stock, comprised of 750,000 shares issuable upon conversion of your Series D Preferred Stock, 1,000,000 issuable upon the exercise of a warrant and 5,000,000 issuable upon conversion of convertible notes, will be legally issued, fully paid and non-assessable.

 

For the purpose of rendering my opinion herein, I have reviewed statutes of the State of Florida, to the extent I deem relevant to the matter opined upon herein, certified or purported true copies of the Articles of Incorporation of Sylios and all amendments thereto, the By-Laws of Sylios, selected proceedings of the board of directors of Sylios authorizing the issuance of the Shares, certificates of officers of Sylios and of public officials, and such other documents of Sylios and of public officials as I have deemed necessary and relevant to the matter opined upon herein. Sylios has not identified or appointed a transfer agent at the date of this opinion. I have assumed, with respect to persons other than directors and officers of Sylios, the due and proper election or appointment of all persons signing and purporting to sign the documents in their respective capacities, as stated therein, the genuineness of all signatures, the conformity to authentic original documents of the copies of all such documents submitted to me as certified, conformed and photocopied, including the quoted, extracted, excerpted and reprocessed text of such documents.

 

Based upon the review described above, it is my opinion that the Shares currently issued and outstanding that are being offered by the selling shareholders are legally issued, fully paid and non-assessable.

 

I have not been engaged to examine, nor have I examined, the Registration Statement for the purpose of determining the accuracy or completeness of the information included therein or the compliance and conformity thereof with the rules and regulations of the SEC or the requirements of Form S-1, and I express no opinion with respect thereto. My forgoing opinion is strictly limited to matters of Florida corporation law; and, I do not express an opinion on the federal law of the United States of America or the law of any state or jurisdiction therein other than Florida, as specified herein.

 

I consent to the use of my opinion as an exhibit to the registration statement and to the reference thereto under the heading “Interests of Named Experts and Counsel” in the prospectus contained in the registration statement.

 

Very truly yours,  
   
John E Lux, Esq.  

 

 
 

 

SECURED NOTE

 

US $100,000   January 11, 2010

 

FOR VALUE RECEIVED, the undersigned (“Borrower”) promises to pay to the order of MTEL, a New Jersey limited liability company (“Lender”), the principal sum of ONE HUNDRED THOUSAND AND NO/100 DOLLARS ($100,000.00US).

 

1. Defined Terms. As used in this Note, (i) the term “Lender” means the holder of this Note, (ii) the term “Indebtedness” means the principal of, interest on, or any other amounts due at any time under, this Note, the Security Instrument, including prepayment premiums, late charges, default interest, and advances to protect the security, and (iii) a “Business Day” means any day other than a Saturday, Sunday or any other day on which Lender is not open for business.

 

2. Address for Payment. All payments due under this Note shall be payable at 39 Chestnut, Livingston, NJ 07039, or such other place as may be designated by written notice to Borrower from or on behalf of Lender.

 

3. Payment of Principal and Interest. Principal and interest shall be paid as follows:

 

(a) Interest shall be due and payable upon maturity of this Note. The total interest due at maturity shall be $50,000 (“Interest”).

 

(b) The principal amount of this note is $100,000 and interest shall not be added to principal or compounded.

 

(c) All outstanding principal and accrued interest shall be due and payable ON JULY 5, 2010; the stated due date shall also be referred to as the “Maturity Date”. Unless paid on or prior, the unpaid principal balance of this Note shall continue to bear interest after the Maturity Date at the Default Rate set forth in this Note until and including the date on which it is paid in full.

 

(d) In addition, the Lender shall receive Two Hundred Thousand (200,000) free trading shares of the Company’s common stock from a third party.

 

4. Application of Payments. If at any time Lender receives, from Borrower or otherwise, any amount applicable to the Indebtedness which is less than all amounts due and payable at such time, Lender shall apply that payment to the principal amount of the note that is due and payable. Borrower agrees that neither Lender’s acceptance of a payment from Borrower in an amount that is less than all amounts then due and payable nor Lender’s application of such payment shall constitute or be deemed to constitute either a waiver of the unpaid amounts or an accord and satisfaction.

 

 
 

 

5. Security. The Indebtedness is secured, among other things, by a Lien against a certain parcel of land located in Wayne County, West Virginia, owned by the Borrower free of any encumbrances. Said description of the 175 acre parcel is as follows:

 

Beginning as a Spanish Oak and Beech near a knob at a corner of Davis’ line S 87 W 66 poles to a hickory S 73 W 106 poles to a stake on the Rufner line and with it S 5 W 22 poles to a Beech, there leaving the Rufner line and with the line of a survey made for J.P. Riggs now owned by A. Plymale S 59 E 100 poles to two hickories and a white oak S 25 E 46 poles to a walnut and hackberry S 60 E 28 poles to a white oak S 33 E 70 poles to two white oaks corner to survey made to L.D. Hatten and with same N 40 E 106 poles to an ash, hickory and two white oaks corner to a survey made for A. Queen and with the same N 7 W 132 Poles to a stake N 68 W 60 poles to the place of beginning containing One Hundred and Seventy Six (176) acres more or less. EXPECTING RESERVING 0.02 acres conveyed to Lavalette Public Service District, dated March 30, 2005, and recorded in the aforesaid Clerk’s Office in Deed Book 638, at page 154

 

6. Acceleration. If after 30 days written notice to the Borrower, an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing for a period of 30 days or more, then at the election of the Lender the entire unpaid principal balance, any accrued interest, the prepayment premium payable under Paragraph 10, if any, and all other amounts payable under this Note may at once become due and payable, at the option of Lender. Lender may exercise this option to accelerate regardless of any prior forbearance.

 

7. Late Charge. No late charge shall apply to payments due under this Note.

 

8. Default Rate. So long as any monthly installment or any other payment due under this Note remains past due for 30 days or more, interest under this Note shall accrue on the unpaid principal balance from the earlier of the due date of the first unpaid monthly installment or other payment due, as applicable, at a rate (the “Default Rate”) equal to the lesser of 10 percentage points above the rate stated in the first paragraph of this Note or the maximum interest rate which may be collected from Borrower under applicable law. If the unpaid principal balance and all accrued interest are not paid in full on the Maturity Date, the unpaid principal balance and all accrued interest shall bear interest from the Maturity Date at the Default Rate. Borrower also acknowledges that its failure to make timely payment will cause Lender to incur additional expenses in servicing and processing the Loan, that, during the time that any payment under this Note is delinquent for more than 5 days, Lender will incur additional costs and expenses arising from its loss of the use of the money due and from the adverse impact on Lender’s ability to meet its other obligations and to take advantage of other investment opportunities, and that it is extremely difficult and impractical to determine those additional costs and expenses. Borrower also acknowledges that, during the time that any monthly installment or other payment due under this Note is delinquent for more than 30 days, Lender’s risk of nonpayment of this Note will be materially increased and Lender is entitled to be compensated for such increased risk.

 

Borrower agrees that the increase in the rate of interest payable under this Note to the Default Rate represents a fair and reasonable estimate, taking into account all circumstances existing on the date of this Note, of the additional costs and expenses Lender will incur by reason of the Borrower’s delinquent payment and the additional compensation Lender is entitled to receive for the increased risks of nonpayment associated with a delinquent loan.

 

9. Notice. Borrower’s notice address is indicated by Borrower’s signature below. Notice may also be sent via Borrower’s fax number then in effect.

 

10. Prepayment. Borrower may pay the entire amount of this note, or in any part thereof at any time prior to the Maturity Date without penalty.

 

2
 

 

11. Costs and Expenses. Borrower shall pay on demand all reasonable expenses and costs, including fees and reasonable out-of-pocket expenses of attorneys and expert witnesses and costs of investigation, incurred by Lender as a result of any Default under this Note or in connection with efforts to collect any amount due under this Note after a Default, or to enforce the provisions of this Note, including those incurred in post-judgment collection efforts and in any bankruptcy proceeding (including any action for relief from the automatic stay of any bankruptcy proceeding) or judicial or non-judicial foreclosure proceeding.

 

12. Forbearance. Any forbearance by Lender in exercising any right or remedy under this Note, or the Security Instrument, shall not be a waiver of or preclude the exercise of that or any other right or remedy. The acceptance by Lender of any payment after the due date of such payment, or in an amount which is less than the required payment, shall not be a waiver of Lender’s right to require prompt payment when due of all other payments or to exercise any right or remedy with respect to any failure to make prompt payment. Enforcement by Lender of any security for Borrower’s obligations under this Note shall not constitute an election by Lender of remedies so as to preclude the exercise of any other right or remedy available to Lender.

 

13. Waivers. Presentment, demand, notice of dishonor, protest, notice of acceleration, notice of intent to demand or accelerate payment or maturity, presentment for payment, notice of nonpayment, grace, and diligence in collecting the Indebtedness are waived by Borrower, Key Principal, and all endorsers and guarantors of this Note and all other third party obligors.

 

14. Loan Charges. Borrower agrees to pay an effective rate of interest equal to the sum of the interest rate provided for in this Note and any additional rate of interest resulting from any other charges of interest or in the nature of interest paid or to be paid in connection with the loan evidenced by this Note and any other fees or amounts to be paid by Borrower pursuant to any of the other Loan Documents. Provided, however, that under no circumstance shall any interest or additional interest exceed the total amount of the Interest under this Note.

 

Neither this Note nor any of the other Loan Documents shall be construed to create a contract for the use, forbearance or detention of money requiring payment of interest at a rate greater than the maximum interest rate permitted to be charged under applicable law. If any applicable law limiting the amount of interest or other charges permitted to be collected from Borrower in connection with the Loan is interpreted so that any interest or other charge provided for in any Loan Document, whether considered separately or together with other charges provided for in any other Loan Document, violates that law, and Borrower is entitled to the benefit of that law, that interest or charge is hereby reduced to the extent necessary to eliminate that violation. The amounts, if any, previously paid to Lender in excess of the permitted amounts shall be applied by Lender to reduce the unpaid principal balance of this Note. For the purpose of determining whether any applicable law limiting the amount of interest or other charges permitted to be collected from Borrower has been violated, all Indebtedness that constitutes interest, as well as all other charges made in connection with the Indebtedness that constitute interest, shall be deemed to be allocated and spread ratably over the stated term of the Note. Unless otherwise required by applicable law, such allocation and spreading shall be effected in such a manner that the rate of interest so computed is uniform throughout the stated term of the Note.

 

15. Commercial Purpose. Borrower represents that the Indebtedness is being incurred by Borrower solely for the purpose of carrying on a business or commercial enterprise, and not for personal, family or household purposes.

 

3
 

 

16. Counting of Days. Except where otherwise specifically provided, any reference in this Note to a period of “days” means calendar days, not Business Days.

 

17. Governing Law. This Note shall be governed by the law of the State of Tennessee.

 

18. Captions. The captions of the paragraphs of this Note are for convenience only and shall be disregarded in construing this Note.

 

19. Notices. All notices, demands and other communications required or permitted to be given by Lender to Borrower pursuant to this Note shall be given in accordance with the Security Instrument.

 

20. Arbitration. Any controversy or claim arising out of or relating to this Agreement, or the breach thereof, shall be settled by arbitration administered by the American Arbitration Association in Atlanta under its Commercial Arbitration Rules, and judgment on the award rendered by the arbitrator(s) may be entered in any court having jurisdiction thereof. The parties also agree that either party may require that the AAA Expedited Procedures shall apply, or that the AAA Optional Rules for Emergency Measures of Protection shall apply, or that both shall apply.

 

21. WAIVER OF TRIAL BY JURY. BORROWER AND LENDER EACH (A) AGREES NOT TO ELECT A TRIAL BY JURY WITH RESPECT TO ANY ISSUE ARISING OUT OF THIS NOTE OR THE RELATIONSHIP BETWEEN THE PARTIES AS LENDER AND BORROWER THAT IS TRIABLE OF RIGHT BY A JURY AND (B) WAIVES ANY RIGHT TO TRIAL BY JURY WITH RESPECT TO SUCH ISSUE TO THE EXTENT THAT ANY SUCH RIGHT EXISTS NOW OR IN THE FUTURE. THIS WAIVER OF RIGHT TO TRIAL BY JURY IS SEPARATELY GIVEN BY EACH PARTY, KNOWINGLY AND VOLUNTARILY WITH THE BENEFIT OF COMPETENT LEGAL COUNSEL.

Remedies . If an Event of Default occurs and is continuing with respect to the Note, the Holder may declare all of the then outstanding Principal Amount of this Note, including any interest due thereon, to be due and payable immediately without further action or notice. In the event of such acceleration, the amount due and owing to the Holder shall be increased to 150% of the outstanding Principal Amount of the Note held by the Holder plus all accrued and unpaid interest, fees, and liquidated damages, if any.

The remedies under this Note shall be cumulative and automatically added to the principal value of the Note.

“Trading Day” shall mean a day on which there is trading or quoting for any security on the Principal Market.

 

“Underlying Shares” means the shares of common stock into which the Note is convertible (including interest, fees, liquidated damages and/or principal payments in common stock as set forth herein) in accordance with the terms hereof.

 

The following terms and conditions shall apply to this Note:

 

Section 1.00 Conversion .

 

(a) Conversion Right . Subject to the terms hereof and restrictions and limitations contained herein, the Holder shall have the right, at the Holder’s sole option, at any time and from time to time to convert in whole or in part the outstanding and unpaid Principal Amount under this Note into shares of Common Stock as per the Conversion Formula. The date of any conversion notice (“ Conversion Notice ”) hereunder shall be referred to herein as the “Conversion Date” .

 

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

 

Convertible Promissory Note 3  
 

 

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

 

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

 

(e) Reservation of Underlying Securities . The Company covenants that it will at all times reserve and keep available for Holder, out of its authorized and unissued Common Stock solely for the purpose of issuance upon conversion of this Note, free from preemptive rights or any other actual contingent purchase rights of persons other than the Holder, initially five times, but not less than four times the number of shares of Common Stock as shall be issuable (taking into account the adjustments under this Section 1, but without regard to any ownership limitations contained herein) upon the conversion of this Note (consisting of the Principal Amount) to Common Stock (the “ Required Reserve ”). The Company covenants that all shares of Common Stock that shall be issuable will, upon issue, be duly authorized, validly issued, fully-paid, non-assessable and freely-tradable (if eligible). If the amount of shares on reserve in Holder’s name at the Company’s transfer agent for this Note shall drop below the Required Reserve, the Company will, within 2 Trading Days of notification from Holder, instruct the transfer agent to increase the number of shares so that the Required Reserve is met. The Company agrees that this is a material term of this Note and any breach of this Section 1.00(e) will result in a default of the Note.

 

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

 

(g) Conversion Delays . If the Company fails to deliver shares in accordance with the timeframe stated in Section 1.00(b), the Holder, at any time prior to selling all of those shares, may rescind any portion, in whole or in part, of that particular conversion attributable to the unsold shares. The rescinded conversion amount will be returned to the Principal Sum with the rescinded conversion shares returned to the Company, under the expectation that any returned conversion amounts will tack back to the Effective Date.

 

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

 

Convertible Promissory Note 4  
 

 

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

 

Section 2.00 Defaults and Remedies .

 

(a) Events of Default . An “ Event of Default ” is: (i) a default in payment of any amount due hereunder which default continues for more than 5 Trading Days after the due date; (ii) a default in the timely issuance of underlying shares upon and in accordance with terms of Section 2.00, which default continues for 2 Trading Days after the Company has failed to issue shares or deliver stock certificates within the 3rd Trading Day following the Conversion Date; (iii) failure by the Company for 3 days after notice has been received by the Company to comply with any material provision of this Note; (iv) failure of the Company to remain compliant with DTC, thus incurring a “chilled” status with DTC; (v) if the Company is subject to any Bankruptcy Event; (vi) any failure of the Company to satisfy its “filing” obligations under Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “1934 Act”) and the rules and guidelines issued by OTC Markets News Service, OTCMarkets.com and their affiliates; (vii) any failure of the Company to provide the Holder with information related to its corporate structure including, but not limited to, the number of authorized and outstanding shares, public float, etc. within 1 Trading Day of request by Holder; (viii) failure by the Company to maintain the Required Reserve in accordance with the terms of Section 1.00(e); (ix) failure of Company’s Common Stock to maintain a closing bid price in its Principal Market for more than 3 consecutive Trading Days; (x) any delisting from a Principal Market for any reason; (xi) failure by Company to pay any of its Transfer Agent fees in excess of $2,000 or to maintain a Transfer Agent of record; (xii) any trading suspension imposed by the Securities and Exchange Commission (“ SEC ”) under Sections 12(j) or 12(k) of the 1934 Act; (xiii) failure by the Company to meet all requirements necessary to satisfy the availability of Rule 144 to the 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, requirements for XBRL filings, and requirements for disclosure of financial statements on its website.

 

(b) Remedies . If an event of default occurs, the outstanding Principal Amount of this Note owing in respect thereof through the date of acceleration, shall become, at the Holder’s election, immediately due and payable in cash at the “ Mandatory Default Amount ”. The Mandatory Default Amount means 150% of the outstanding Principal Amount of this Note, liquidated damages, fees and other amounts hereon. Commencing 5 days after the occurrence of any Event of Default that results in the eventual acceleration of this Note, this Note shall accrue additional interest, in addition to the Note’s “guaranteed” interest, at a rate equal to the lesser of 18% per annum or the maximum rate permitted under applicable law. Finally, commencing 5 days after the occurrence of any Event of Default that results in the eventual acceleration of this Note, an additional permanent 10% increase to the Conversion Price discount will go into effect. In connection with such acceleration described herein, the Holder need not provide, and the Issuer hereby waives, any presentment, demand, protest or other notice of any kind, and the Holder may immediately and without expiration of any grace period enforce any and all of its rights and remedies hereunder and all other remedies available to it under applicable law. Such acceleration may be rescinded and annulled by the Holder at any time prior to payment hereunder and the Holder shall have all rights as a holder of the note until such time, if any, as the Holder receives full payment pursuant to this Section 2.00(b). No such rescission or annulment shall affect any subsequent event of default or impair any right consequent thereon. Nothing herein shall limit the Holder’s right to pursue any other remedies available to it at law or in equity including, without limitation, a decree of specific performance and/or injunctive relief with respect to the Issuer’s failure to timely deliver certificates representing shares of Common Stock upon conversion of the Note as required pursuant to the terms hereof.

 

Convertible Promissory Note 5

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

 

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

 

(c) Funding Window . The Company agrees that it will not enter into a convertible debt financing transaction with any party other than the Holder for a period of 20 Trading Days following the Effective Date. The Company agrees that this is a material term of this Note and any breach of this will result in a default of the Note.

 

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

 

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

 

(f) Governing Law; Jurisdiction .

 

(i) Governing Law. This note will be governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of the state of California without regard to any conflicts of laws or provisions thereof that would otherwise require the application of the law of any other jurisdiction.

 

(ii) Jurisdiction and Venue . Any dispute or claim arising to or in any way related to this Note or the rights and obligations of each of the parties shall be brought only in the state courts of California or in the federal courts located in San Diego County, California.

 

Convertible Promissory Note 6  
 

 

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

 

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

 

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

 

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

 

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

LOAN AGREEMENT AND PROMISSORY NOTE

 

THIS LOAN AGREEMENT AND PROMISSORY NOTE, is made this 16 th day of March, 2016, by and among SYLIOS CORP, a Corporation organized under the laws of the State of Florida (hereinafter, known as “BORROWER”) and Tangiers Investment Group, LLC, organized under the laws of the State of Delaware (hereinafter, known as “LENDER”). BORROWER and LENDER shall collectively be known herein as “the Parties”. In determining the rights and duties of the Parties under this Loan Agreement, the entire document must be read as a whole.

 

PROMISSORY NOTE

 

FOR VALUE RECEIVED, BORROWER promises to pay to the order of LENDER, the sum of Fifteen Thousand and NO/100 ( $15,000.00) dollars together with interest thereon at a rate of 15 percent (15%) per annum on the unpaid balance with interest to be compounded annually and a legal fee in the amount of Two Thousand Five Hundred and NO/100 ($2,500.00) (hereinafter, “the Loan Amount”). The entire outstanding Loan Amount (including principal, any accrued interest and legal fee) shall become fully due and payable by BORROWER on or before 90 days after the date of this Loan Agreement and Promissory Note.

 

LENDER has advanced BORROWER the sum of Fifteen Thousand and NO/100 ( $15,000.00) dollars to be designated for the purchase of a royalty interest in three wells in Kentucky. As part of the BORROWER’S transaction with the OPERATOR of said wells, the BORROWER shall loan to said OPERATOR the sum of Fifteen Thousand and NO/100 ( $15,000.00) dollars. Said OPERATOR shall pay BORROWER the sum of Sixteen Thousand Five Hundred and NO/100 ($16,500.00) dollars on or before 60 days after the loan transaction closes. As collateral for said loan, the BORROWER shall file a Uniform Commercial Code (“UCC”) naming all three wells and the lease said wells are situated. In the event said OPERATOR defaults on the loan from BORROWER, BORROWER shall be required to perfect said loan by seizing all assets included within the UCC. All proceeds received by BORROWER from the sale of crude shall be paid to LENDER against said Loan.

 

The method for making a proper “demand” upon BORROWER is set forth below.

 

ADDITIONAL LOAN TERMS

 

The BORROWER and LENDER, hereby further set forth their rights and obligations to one another under this Loan Agreement and Promissory Note and agree to be legal bound as follows:

 

  A. Loan Repayment Terms. BORROWER may make payment(s) to LENDER in amounts and at times as it chooses upon the Loan Amount, including accrued interest, until such time as LENDER shall make a demand upon BORROWER for repayment at which time BORROWER shall repay to LENDER the entire Loan Amount (including principal and all accrued interest). LENDER shall make no demand for payment prior to 90 days after the date of this Loan Agreement and Promissory Note.
     
  B. Demand by Lender . This is a “demand” loan agreement and promissory note under which BORROWER is required to repay in full the entire outstanding Loan Amount within 90 days of the date of this Loan Agreement and Promissory Note. Delivery of written notice by LENDER to BORROWER via U.S. Postal Service Certified Mail shall constitute prima facie evidence of delivery. For mailing of said notice, LENDER shall use BORROWER’S address as stated below in the portion of this agreement pertaining to default.

 

 
 

 

  C. Method of Loan Payment . The BORROWER shall make all payments called for under this loan agreement by sending check or other negotiable instrument made payable to the following individual or entity at the address indicated:

 

Bank: Chase

Bank address: 101 W Broadway, Suite 100, San Diego, CA 92101

Account name: Tangiers Investment Group, LLC

Account number: 477503747

Routing number: 021000021

Tangiers’ address: 2251 San Diego Avenue, Suite B150, San Diego, CA 92110

 

    If Lender gives written notice to Borrower that a different address shall be used for making payments under this loan agreement, Borrower shall use the new address so given by Lender.

 

  D. Default. The occurrence of any of the following events shall constitute a Default by the Borrower of the terms of this loan agreement and promissory note:

 

  1. Borrower’s failure to pay any amount due as principal or interest on the date required under this loan agreement
     
  2. Borrower seeks an order of relief under the Federal Bankruptcy laws
     
  3. A federal tax lien is filed against the assets of Borrower

 

  E . Additional Provisions Regarding Default:

 

  1. Addressee and Address to which Lender is to give Borrower written notice of default:

 

Sylios Corp

735 Arlington Ave N., Suite 308

St. Petersburg, FL 33701

 

    If Borrower gives written notice to Lender that a different address shall be used, Lender shall use that address for giving notice of default (or any other notice called for herein) to Borrower.
     
  2. Cure of Default. Upon default, Lender shall give Borrower written notice of default. Mailing of written notice by Lender to Borrower via U.S. Postal Service Certified Mail shall constitute prima facie evidence of delivery. Borrower shall have 5 days after receipt of written notice of default from Lender to cure said default. In the case of default due solely to Borrower’s failure to make timely payment as called for in this loan agreement, Borrower may cure the default by making full payment of any principal and accrued interest (including interest on these amounts) whose payment to Lender is overdue under the loan agreement and, also, the late−payment penalty described below.
     
  3. Penalty for Late Payment. There shall also be imposed upon Borrower a $100 per day penalty for any late payment.
     
  4. Acceleration . If the Borrower fails to cure any default on or before the expiration of the five (5) day cure period that starts on the date Borrower receives written notice from Lender that an event of default has occurred under this loan agreement, the entire unpaid principal, accrued interest, and penalties under this loan agreement shall accelerate and become due and payable immediately.

 

 
 

 

  5. Indemnification of Attorneys Fees and out−of−pocket costs. Should any party materially breach this agreement, the non−breaching party shall be indemnified by the breaching party for its reasonable attorneys fees and out−of−pocket costs which in any way relate to, or were precipitated by, the breach of this agreement. The term “out−of−pocket costs”, as used herein, shall not include lost profits. A default by Borrower which is not cured within 5 days after receiving a written notice of default from Lender constitutes a material breach of this agreement by Borrower.

 

  F. Parties that are not individuals . If any Party to this agreement is other than an individual (i.e., a corporation, a Limited Liability Company, a Partnership, or a Trust), said Party, and the individual signing on behalf of said Party, hereby represents and warrants that all steps and actions have been taken under the entity’s governing instruments to authorize the entry into this Loan Agreement. Breach of any representation contained in this paragraph is considered a material breach of the Loan Agreement.
     
  G . Integration . This Agreement, including the attachments mentioned in the body as incorporated by reference, sets forth the entire agreement between the Parties with regard to the subject matter hereof. All prior agreements, representations and warranties, express or implied, oral or written, with respect to the subject matter hereof, are hereby superseded by this agreement. This is an integrated agreement.
     
  H.

Severability . In the event any provision of this Agreement is deemed to be void, invalid, or unenforceable, that provision shall be severed from the remainder of this Agreement so as not to cause the invalidity or unenforceability of the remainder of this Agreement. All remaining provisions of this Agreement shall then continue in full force and effect. If any provision shall be deemed invalid due to its scope or breadth, such provision shall be deemed valid to the extent of the scope and breadth permitted by law.

     
  I.

Modification . Except as otherwise provided in this document, this agreement may be modified, superseded, or voided only upon the written and signed agreement of the Parties. Further, the physical destruction or loss of this document shall not be construed as a modification or termination of the agreement contained herein.

     
  J.

Exclusive Jurisdiction for Suit in Case of Breach . The Parties, by entering into this agreement, submit to jurisdiction in State of California for adjudication of any disputes and/or claims between the parties under this agreement.

This Note is a duly authorized Convertible Promissory Note of Sylios Corp. a corporation duly organized and existing under the laws of the State of Florida ( the “ Company ”), designated as the Company’s 10% Convertible Promissory Note in the principal amount of $55,000 (the “ Note” ). This Note will become effective only upon execution by both parties and delivery of the first payment of consideration by the Holder (the “ Effective Date ”).

 

For Value Received , the Company hereby promises to pay to the order of Tangiers Investment Group, LLC or its registered assigns or successors-in-interest (the “Holder” ) the Principal Sum of $55,000 (the “ Principal Sum ”) and to pay “guaranteed” interest on the principal balance hereof at an amount equivalent to 10% of the Principal Sum, to the extent such Principal Sum and “guaranteed” interest and any other interest, fees, liquidated damages and/or items due to Holder herein have been repaid or converted into the Company’s Common Stock (the “Common Stock” ), in accordance with the terms hereof. Upon the execution of this Note the sum of $15,000 shall be remitted and delivered to the Company, and $2,250 shall be retained by the Purchaser through an original issue discount (the “ OID ”) for due diligence and legal bills related to this transaction. The OID is set at 15% of any consideration paid. The Holder may pay additional Consideration to the Company in such amounts and at such dates (each, an “Additional Consideration Date” ) as Holder may choose in its sole discretion. The Principal Sum due to Holder shall be prorated based on the Consideration actually paid by Holder (plus the “guaranteed” interest and 15% OID, both which are prorated based on the Consideration actually paid by the Holder, as well as any other interest or fees) such that the Company is only required to repay the amount funded and the Company is not required to repay any unfunded portion of this Note. The Maturity Date is one year from the Effective Date of each payment (the “Maturity Date” ) and is the date upon which the Principal Sum of this Note, as well as any unpaid interest and other fees, shall be due and payable.

If the Company is placed on “chilled” status with the Depository Trust Company (“ DTC ”), the discount shall be increased by 10%, i . e ., from 50% to 60%, until such chill is remedied. If the Company is not Deposits and Withdrawal at Custodian ( “DWAC” ) eligible through their Transfer Agent and DTC’s Fast Automated Securities Transfer (“ FAST ”) system, the discount will be increased by 5%, i . e ., from 50% to 55%. In the case of both, the discount shall be a cumulative increase of 15%, i . e ., from 50% to 65%. Any default of this Note not remedied within the applicable cure period will result in a permanent additional 10% increase, i . e ., from 50% to 60%, in addition to any other discount, as provided above, to the Conversion Price discount.

 

Principal Amount ” shall refer to the sum of (i) the original principal amount of this Note (including the original issue discount, prorated if the Note has not been funded in full), (ii) any additional payments made by the Holder towards the Principal Sum (iii) all guaranteed and other accrued but unpaid interest hereunder, (iv) any fees due hereunder, (v) liquidated damages, and (vi) any default payments owing under the Note, in each case previously paid or added to the Principal Amount.

“Trading Day” shall mean a day on which there is trading or quoting for any security on the Principal Market.

The following terms and conditions shall apply to this Note:

 

Section 1.00 Conversion .

 

(a) Conversion Right . Subject to the terms hereof and restrictions and limitations contained herein, the Holder shall have the right, at the Holder’s sole option, at any time and from time to time to convert in whole or in part the outstanding and unpaid Principal Amount under this Note into shares of Common Stock as per the Conversion Formula. The date of any conversion notice (“ Conversion Notice ”) hereunder shall be referred to herein as the “Conversion Date” .

 

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

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

 

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

 

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

 

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

 

4
 

 

(g) Conversion Delays . If the Company fails to deliver shares in accordance with the timeframe stated in Section 1.00(b), the Holder, at any time prior to selling all of those shares, may rescind any portion, in whole or in part, of that particular conversion attributable to the unsold shares. The rescinded conversion amount will be returned to the Principal Sum with the rescinded conversion shares returned to the Company, under the expectation that any returned conversion amounts will tack back to the Effective Date.

 

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

 

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

 

Section 2.00 Defaults and Remedies .

 

(a) Events of Default . An “ Event of Default ” is: (i) a default in payment of any amount due hereunder which default continues for more than 5 Trading Days after the due date; (ii) a default in the timely issuance of underlying shares upon and in accordance with terms of Section 1.00, which default continues for 2 Trading Days after the Company has failed to issue shares or deliver stock certificates within the 3rd Trading Day following the Conversion Date; (iii) if the Company does not issue the press release or file the Supplemental Information statement, in each case in accordance with the provisions and the deadlines referenced Section 4.00(i); (iv) failure by the Company for 3 days after notice has been received by the Company to comply with any material provision of this Note; (v) failure of the Company to remain compliant with DTC, thus incurring a “chilled” status with DTC; (vi) any default of any mortgage, indenture or instrument which may be issued, or by which there may be secured or evidenced any indebtedness, for money borrowed by the Company or for money borrowed the repayment of which is guaranteed by the Company, whether such indebtedness or guarantee now exists or shall be created hereafter; (vii) if the Company is subject to any Bankruptcy Event; (viii) any failure of the Company to satisfy its “filing” obligations under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “ 1934 Act ”) and the rules and guidelines issued by OTC Markets News Service, OTCMarkets.com and their affiliates; (ix) failure of the Company to remain in good standing with the State of Florida; (x) any failure of the Company to provide the Holder with information related to its corporate structure including, but not limited to, the number of authorized and outstanding shares, public float, etc. within 1 Trading Day of request by Holder; (xi) failure by the Company to maintain the Required Reserve in accordance with the terms of Section 1.00(e); (xii) failure of Company’s Common Stock to maintain a closing bid price in its Principal Market for more than 3 consecutive Trading Days; (xiii) any delisting from a Principal Market for any reason; (xiv) failure by Company to pay any of its Transfer Agent fees in excess of $2,000 or to maintain a Transfer Agent of record; (xv) failure by Company to notify Holder of a change in Transfer Agent within 24 hours of such change; (xvi) any trading suspension imposed by the United States Securities and Exchange Commission (the “ SEC ”) under Sections 12(j) or 12(k) of the 1934 Act; (xvii) failure by the Company to meet all requirements necessary to satisfy the availability of Rule 144 to the 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, requirements for XBRL filings, and requirements for disclosure of financial statements on its website; or (xviii) failure of the Company to abide by the terms of the right of first refusal contained in Section 4.00(k).

 

5
 

 

(b) Remedies. If an Event of Default occurs, the outstanding Principal Amount of this Note owing in respect thereof through the date of acceleration, shall become, at the Holder’s election, immediately due and payable in cash at the “ Mandatory Default Amount ”. The Mandatory Default Amount means 150% of the outstanding Principal Amount of this Note, will be automatically added to the Principal Sum of the Note and tack back to the Effective Date for purposes of Rule 144. Commencing 5 days after the occurrence of any Event of Default that results in the eventual acceleration of this Note, this Note shall accrue additional interest, in addition to the Note’s “guaranteed” interest, at a rate equal to the lesser of 20% per annum or the maximum rate permitted under applicable law. Finally, commencing 5 days after the occurrence of any Event of Default that results in the eventual acceleration of this Note, an additional permanent 10% increase to the Conversion Price discount will go into effect. In connection with such acceleration described herein, the Holder need not provide, and the Issuer hereby waives, any presentment, demand, protest or other notice of any kind, and the Holder may immediately and without expiration of any grace period enforce any and all of its rights and remedies hereunder and all other remedies available to it under applicable law. Such acceleration may be rescinded and annulled by the Holder at any time prior to payment hereunder and the Holder shall have all rights as a holder of the note until such time, if any, as the Holder receives full payment pursuant to this Section 2.00(b). No such rescission or annulment shall affect any subsequent event of default or impair any right consequent thereon. Nothing herein shall limit the Holder’s right to pursue any other remedies available to it at law or in equity including, without limitation, a decree of specific performance and/or injunctive relief with respect to the Issuer’s failure to timely deliver certificates representing shares of Common Stock upon conversion of the Note as required pursuant to the terms hereof.

Holder hereby represents and warrants to the Company that:

 

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

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

 

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

 

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

 

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

 

Section 4.00 General .

 

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

(c) Funding Window . The Company agrees that it will not enter into a convertible debt financing transaction with any party other than the Holder for a period of 20 Trading Days following the Effective Date and each Additional Consideration Date, as relevant. The Company agrees that this is a material term of this Note and any breach of this Section 4.00(c) will result in a default of the Note.

 

7
 

 

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

 

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

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

 

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

 

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

 

8
 

 

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

 

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

 

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

 

9
 

 

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

 

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

12% CONVERTIBLE PROMISSORY NOTE

 

FOR VALUE RECEIVED , SYLIOS CORP., a Florida corporation (hereinafter called the “Borrower”), hereby promises to pay to the order of DARLING CAPITAL, LLC a New York limited liability company, or registered assigns (the “Holder”) the sum of Seven Thousand Five Hundred Dollars ($7,500.00) as set forth herein, on November 30, 2017 (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 January 27, 2017 until the Note plus any and all accrued interest is paid in full. The Holder will have the option to extend the Maturity Date an additional nine (9) months. The Holder must inform the Borrower, in writing, within thirty (30) days from the original Maturity Date of its intent to extend the Maturity Date. Interest shall commence accruing on the date that the Note is fully paid and shall be computed on the basis of a 360-day year and the actual number of days elapsed. Any amount of principal or interest on this Note which is not paid when due shall bear interest at the rate of twenty two percent (22%) per annum or the maximum rate permitted under applicable law from the due date thereof until the same is paid (“Default Interest”). All payments due hereunder (to the extent not converted into common stock, $0.001 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 the Holder shall hereafter give to the 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.

 

1
 

 

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 the Borrower and will not impose personal liability upon the holder thereof.

 

The following terms shall apply to this Note:

 

ARTICLE I. CONVERSION RIGHTS

 

1.1. Conversion Right . The Holder shall have the right at any time after 180 days from issuance of the note 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 the Borrower into which such Common Stock shall hereafter be changed or reclassified at the conversion price (the “Conversion Price”) determined as provided herein (a “Conversion”); provided , however , that in no event shall the Holder be entitled to convert any portion of this Note in excess of that portion of this Note upon conversion of which the sum of (1) the number of shares of Common Stock beneficially owned by the Holder and its affiliates (other than shares of Common Stock which may be deemed beneficially owned through the ownership of the unconverted portion of the Notes or the unexercised or unconverted portion of any other security of the Borrower subject to a limitation on conversion or exercise analogous to the limitations contained herein) and (2) the number of shares of Common Stock issuable upon the conversion of the portion of this Note with respect to which the determination of this proviso is being made, would result in beneficial ownership by the Holder and its affiliates of more than 9.99% of the outstanding shares of Common Stock. For purposes of the proviso to the immediately preceding sentence, beneficial ownership shall be determined in accordance with Section 13(d) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”), and Regulations 13D-G thereunder, except as otherwise provided in clause (1) of such proviso, provided , further , however , that the limitations on conversion may be waived by the Holder upon, at the election of the Holder, not less than 61 days’ prior notice to the Borrower, and the provisions of the conversion limitation shall continue to apply until such 61st day (or such later date, as determined by the Holder, as may be specified in such notice of waiver). 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 the Borrower by the Holder in accordance with Section 1.4 below; provided that the Notice of Conversion is submitted by facsimile or e-mail (or by other means resulting in, or reasonably expected to result in, notice) to the Borrower before 6:00 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 the 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, plus (3) at the Holder’s option, Default Interest, if any, on the amounts referred to in the immediately preceding clauses (1) and/or (2) plus (4) at the Holder’s option, any amounts owed to the Holder pursuant to Sections 1.3 and 1.4(g) hereof.

 

2
 

 

1.2. Conversion Price .

 

a) Calculation of Conversion Price . The conversion price (the “Conversion Price”) shall equal the Variable Conversion Price (as defined herein) (subject to equitable adjustments for stock splits, stock dividends or rights offerings by the Borrower relating to the Borrower’s securities or the securities of any subsidiary of the Borrower, combinations, recapitalization, reclassifications, extraordinary distributions and similar events). The “Variable Conversion Price” shall mean the 20% multiplied by the Market Price (as defined herein) “Market Price” means the lowest closing bid Price (as defined below) for the Common Stock during the Twenty Five (25) Trading Day period immediately preceding the Conversion Date (the “Look Back Period”). “Trading Price” means, for any security as of any date, the closing stock price on the Over-the-Counter Bulletin Board, or applicable trading market (the “OTCPink”) as reported by a reliable reporting service (“Reporting Service”) designated by the Holder (i.e. Bloomberg); provided that if the Closing Bid Price for the common stock on the Clearing date (defined below) is lower than the Closing Bid Price, then the purchase price shall be adjusted such that the Discount shall be taken from the closing bid price on the Clearing Date, and the company shall issue additional shares to Purchaser to reflect such adjusted Purchase Price. The Note shall have a conversion price floor of $0.0001 per share. For purposes of this Agreement, the Clearing Date shall be the latest date on which (i) the conversion shares are transferred to and deposited into the Buyer’s brokerage account by the Company’s representatives or transfer agent and (ii) Buyer’s broker has confirmed with Buyer that the Buyer may execute trades of the conversion shares. If such events occur after 5:30 PM Eastern Standard Time, the events shall be deemed to have occurred on the next trading day. Upon the exercise of any conversion, the Holder shall duly notify the Borrower whether principal or interest is being converted. If the Borrower’s Common stock is chilled for deposit at DTC, becomes chilled at any point while this Agreement remains outstanding or deposit otherwise additional fees due to a Yield Sign, Stop Sign or other trading restrictions, an additional 10% discount will be attributed to the Conversion Price defined hereof. For purposes of this agreement, “Trading Day” shall mean any day on which the Common Stock is tradable for any period on the OTCPink, or on the principal securities exchange or other securities market on which the Common Stock is then being traded. The company shall bear any and all miscellaneous expenses that may arise as a result of conversion of the note and the delivery of shares of common stock thereunder including but not limited to transfer agent fees, rule 144 legal opinion fees and deposit fees. All accrued conversion expenses paid by the holder shall be added to the amount being converted under the note. No fractional shares or scrip representing fractions of shares will be issued on conversion, but the number of shares issuable shall be rounded up or down, as the case may be, to the nearest whole share.

 

b) The Borrower acknowledges that it will take all reasonable steps necessary or appropriate to issue and deliver the common stock upon conversion, including providing a board of directors resolution authorizing the issuance of common stock. Without in any way limiting the 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 (3 Trading days) the Borrower shall pay to the Holder $2,000.00 per day in cash, for each day beyond the Deadline that the Borrower fails to deliver such Common Stock. 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 the Holder (by written notice to the 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. The Borrower agrees that the right to convert is a valuable right to the Holder. The damages resulting from a failure, attempt to frustrate, interfere with such conversion right are difficult if not impossible to qualify. Accordingly the parties acknowledge that the liquidated damages provision contained in this Section are justified.

 

3
 

 

c) Conversion Price During Major Announcements . Notwithstanding anything contained in Section 1.2(a) to the contrary, in the event the Borrower (i) makes a public announcement that it intends to consolidate or merge with any other corporation (other than a merger in which the 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 the Borrower or (ii) any person, group or entity (including the Borrower) publicly announces a tender offer to purchase 50% or more of the 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 1.2(a). 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 1.2(b) has been made, the date upon which the 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(b) to become operative.

 

1.3. Authorized Shares . The Borrower covenants that during the period the conversion right exists, the 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 issued. The Borrower is required at all times to have authorized and reserved one and one half 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”). The Reserved Amount shall be increased from time to time in accordance with the Borrower’s obligations. Initially, the Company shall reserve the amount of shares listed in the “TA General Letter” dated January 9, 2017 in the name of the Holder. The Borrower represents that upon issuance, such shares will be duly and validly issued, fully paid and non-assessable. In addition, if the 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, the 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. The 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. If, at any time the Borrower does not maintain the Reserved Amount it will be considered an Event of Default under Section 3.2 of the Note Method of Conversion.

 

4
 

 

a) Mechanics of Conversion . Subject to Section 1.1, this Note may be converted by the Holder in whole or in part at any time from time to time after 180 days from Issue Date, by (A) submitting to the Borrower a Notice of Conversion (by facsimile, e-mail or other reasonable means of communication dispatched on the Conversion Date prior to 6:00 p.m., New York, New York time) and (B) subject to Section 1.4(b), surrendering this Note at the principal office of the 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, the Holder shall not be required to physically surrender this Note to the Borrower unless the entire unpaid principal amount of this Note is so converted. The Holder and the 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 the Holder and the 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 the 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, the Holder may not transfer this Note unless the Holder first physically surrenders this Note to the Borrower, whereupon the Borrower will forthwith issue and deliver upon the order of the Holder a new Note of like tenor, registered as the Holder (upon payment by the Holder of any applicable transfer taxes) may request, representing in the aggregate the remaining unpaid principal amount of this Note. The 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 . The 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 the Holder (or in street name), and the 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 the Holder or the custodian in whose street name such shares are to be held for the Holder’s account) requesting the issuance thereof shall have paid to the Borrower the amount of any such tax or shall have established to the satisfaction of the Borrower that such tax has been paid.

 

d) Delivery of Common Stock Upon Conversion . Upon receipt by the Borrower from the Holder of a facsimile transmission 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, the Borrower shall issue and deliver or cause to be issued and delivered to or upon the order of the 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.

 

5
 

 

e) Obligation of Borrower to Deliver Common Stock . Upon receipt by the Borrower of a duly and properly executed Notice of Conversion, the 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 the 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 the Holder shall have given a Notice of Conversion as provided herein, the 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 the 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 the Borrower to the holder of record, or any setoff, counterclaim, recoupment, limitation or termination, or any breach or alleged breach by the Holder of any obligation to the Borrower, and irrespective of any other circumstance which might otherwise limit such obligation of the Borrower to the 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 the Borrower before 6:00 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 the Borrower is participating in the Depository Trust Company (“DTC”) Fast Automated Securities Transfer (“FAST”) program, upon request of the Holder and its compliance with the provisions contained in Section 1.1 and in this Section 1.4, the Borrower shall use its best efforts to cause its transfer agent to electronically transmit the Common Stock issuable upon conversion to the Holder by crediting the account of Holder’s Prime Broker with DTC through its Deposit Withdrawal Agent Commission (“DWAC”) system.

 

g) Failure to Deliver Common Stock Prior to Deadline. Without in any way limiting the 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 (other than a failure due to the circumstances described in Section

 

h) 1.3 above, which failure shall be governed by such Section) the Borrower shall pay to the Holder

 

i) $2,000.00 per day in cash, for each day beyond the Deadline that the Borrower fails to deliver such Common Stock through willful acts designed to hinder the delivery of Common Stock to the Holder. 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 the Holder (by written notice to the 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. The Borrower agrees that the right to convert is a valuable right to the Holder. The damages resulting from a failure, attempt to frustrate, 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.

 

6
 

 

1.4. 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) the 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 the Borrower who agrees to sell or otherwise transfer the shares only in accordance with this Section 1.5 and who is an Accredited Investor. (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:

 

“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.”

 

legend set forth above shall be removed and the Borrower shall issue to the Holder a new certificate therefore free of any transfer legend if (i) the Borrower or its transfer agent shall have received an opinion of counsel 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 accepted by the Company so that the sale or transfer is or (ii) in the case of the Common Stock issuable upon conversion of this Note, such security is registered for sale by the 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 the Company 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 3.2 of this Note.

1.5. Effect of Certain Events .

 

a) Effect of Merger, Consolidation, Etc .

12% CONVERTIBLE PROMISSORY NOTE

 

FOR VALUE RECEIVED , SYLIOS CORP., a Florida corporation (hereinafter called the “Borrower”), hereby promises to pay to the order of DARLING CAPITAL, LLC a New York limited liability company, or registered assigns (the “Holder”) the sum of Ten Thousand Dollars ($10,000.00) as set forth herein, on November 30, 2017 (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 January 27, 2017 until the Note plus any and all accrued interest is paid in full. The Holder will have the option to extend the Maturity Date an additional nine (9) months. The Holder must inform the Borrower, in writing, within thirty (30) days from the original Maturity Date of its intent to extend the Maturity Date. Interest shall commence accruing on the date that the Note is fully paid and shall be computed on the basis of a 360-day year and the actual number of days elapsed. Any amount of principal or interest on this Note which is not paid when due shall bear interest at the rate of twenty two percent (22%) per annum or the maximum rate permitted under applicable law from the due date thereof until the same is paid (“Default Interest”). All payments due hereunder (to the extent not converted into common stock, $0.001 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 the Holder shall hereafter give to the 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.

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 the Borrower and will not impose personal liability upon the holder thereof.

 

The following terms shall apply to this Note:

 

ARTICLE I. CONVERSION RIGHTS

 

1.1. Conversion Right . The Holder shall have the right at any time after 180 days from issuance of the note 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 the Borrower into which such Common Stock shall hereafter be changed or reclassified at the conversion price (the “Conversion Price”) determined as provided herein (a “Conversion”); provided , however , that in no event shall the Holder be entitled to convert any portion of this Note in excess of that portion of this Note upon conversion of which the sum of (1) the number of shares of Common Stock beneficially owned by the Holder and its affiliates (other than shares of Common Stock which may be deemed beneficially owned through the ownership of the unconverted portion of the Notes or the unexercised or unconverted portion of any other security of the Borrower subject to a limitation on conversion or exercise analogous to the limitations contained herein) and (2) the number of shares of Common Stock issuable upon the conversion of the portion of this Note with respect to which the determination of this proviso is being made, would result in beneficial ownership by the Holder and its affiliates of more than 9.99% of the outstanding shares of Common Stock. For purposes of the proviso to the immediately preceding sentence, beneficial ownership shall be determined in accordance with Section 13(d) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”), and Regulations 13D-G thereunder, except as otherwise provided in clause (1) of such proviso, provided , further , however , that the limitations on conversion may be waived by the Holder upon, at the election of the Holder, not less than 61 days’ prior notice to the Borrower, and the provisions of the conversion limitation shall continue to apply until such 61st day (or such later date, as determined by the Holder, as may be specified in such notice of waiver). 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 the Borrower by the Holder in accordance with Section 1.4 below; provided that the Notice of Conversion is submitted by facsimile or e-mail (or by other means resulting in, or reasonably expected to result in, notice) to the Borrower before 6:00 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 the 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, plus (3) at the Holder’s option, Default Interest, if any, on the amounts referred to in the immediately preceding clauses (1) and/or (2) plus (4) at the Holder’s option, any amounts owed to the Holder pursuant to Sections 1.3 and 1.4(g) hereof.

   

2
 

 

1.2. Conversion Price .

 

a) Calculation of Conversion Price . The conversion price (the “Conversion Price”) shall equal the Variable Conversion Price (as defined herein) (subject to equitable adjustments for stock splits, stock dividends or rights offerings by the Borrower relating to the Borrower’s securities or the securities of any subsidiary of the Borrower, combinations, recapitalization, reclassifications, extraordinary distributions and similar events). The “Variable Conversion Price” shall mean the 20% multiplied by the Market Price (as defined herein) “Market Price” means the lowest closing bid Price (as defined below) for the Common Stock during the Twenty Five (25) Trading Day period immediately preceding the Conversion Date (the “Look Back Period”). “Trading Price” means, for any security as of any date, the closing stock price on the Over-the-Counter Bulletin Board, or applicable trading market (the “OTCPink”) as reported by a reliable reporting service (“Reporting Service”) designated by the Holder (i.e. Bloomberg); provided that if the Closing Bid Price for the common stock on the Clearing date (defined below) is lower than the Closing Bid Price, then the purchase price shall be adjusted such that the Discount shall be taken from the closing bid price on the Clearing Date, and the company shall issue additional shares to Purchaser to reflect such adjusted Purchase Price. The Note shall have a conversion price floor of $0.0001 per share. For purposes of this Agreement, the Clearing Date shall be the latest date on which (i) the conversion shares are transferred to and deposited into the Buyer’s brokerage account by the Company’s representatives or transfer agent and (ii) Buyer’s broker has confirmed with Buyer that the Buyer may execute trades of the conversion shares. If such events occur after 5:30 PM Eastern Standard Time, the events shall be deemed to have occurred on the next trading day. Upon the exercise of any conversion, the Holder shall duly notify the Borrower whether principal or interest is being converted. If the Borrower’s Common stock is chilled for deposit at DTC, becomes chilled at any point while this Agreement remains outstanding or deposit otherwise additional fees due to a Yield Sign, Stop Sign or other trading restrictions, an additional 10% discount will be attributed to the Conversion Price defined hereof. For purposes of this agreement, “Trading Day” shall mean any day on which the Common Stock is tradable for any period on the OTCPink, or on the principal securities exchange or other securities market on which the Common Stock is then being traded. The company shall bear any and all miscellaneous expenses that may arise as a result of conversion of the note and the delivery of shares of common stock thereunder including but not limited to transfer agent fees, rule 144 legal opinion fees and deposit fees. All accrued conversion expenses paid by the holder shall be added to the amount being converted under the note. No fractional shares or scrip representing fractions of shares will be issued on conversion, but the number of shares issuable shall be rounded up or down, as the case may be, to the nearest whole share.

 

b) The Borrower acknowledges that it will take all reasonable steps necessary or appropriate to issue and deliver the common stock upon conversion, including providing a board of directors’ resolution authorizing the issuance of common stock. Without in any way limiting the 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 (3 Trading days) the Borrower shall pay to the Holder $2,000.00 per day in cash, for each day beyond the Deadline that the Borrower fails to deliver such Common Stock. 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 the Holder (by written notice to the 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. The Borrower agrees that the right to convert is a valuable right to the Holder. The damages resulting from a failure, attempt to frustrate, interfere with such conversion right are difficult if not impossible to qualify. Accordingly, the parties acknowledge that the liquidated damages provision contained in this Section are justified.

c) Conversion Price During Major Announcements . Notwithstanding anything contained in Section 1.2(a) to the contrary, in the event the Borrower (i) makes a public announcement that it intends to consolidate or merge with any other corporation (other than a merger in which the 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 the Borrower or (ii) any person, group or entity (including the Borrower) publicly announces a tender offer to purchase 50% or more of the 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 1.2(a). 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 1.2(b) has been made, the date upon which the 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(b) to become operative.

 

1.3. Authorized Shares . The Borrower covenants that during the period the conversion right exists, the 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 issued. The Borrower is required at all times to have authorized and reserved one and one half 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”). The Reserved Amount shall be increased from time to time in accordance with the Borrower’s obligations. Initially, the Company shall reserve the amount of shares listed in the “TA General Letter” dated January 9, 2017 in the name of the Holder. The Borrower represents that upon issuance, such shares will be duly and validly issued, fully paid and non-assessable. In addition, if the 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, the 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. The 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. If, at any time the Borrower does not maintain the Reserved Amount it will be considered an Event of Default under Section 3.2 of the Note Method of Conversion .

 

4
 

  

a) Mechanics of Conversion . Subject to Section 1.1, this Note may be converted by the Holder in whole or in part at any time from time to time after 180 days from Issue Date, by (A) submitting to the Borrower a Notice of Conversion (by facsimile, e-mail or other reasonable means of communication dispatched on the Conversion Date prior to 6:00 p.m., New York, New York time) and (B) subject to Section 1.4(b), surrendering this Note at the principal office of the 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, the Holder shall not be required to physically surrender this Note to the Borrower unless the entire unpaid principal amount of this Note is so converted. The Holder and the 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 the Holder and the 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 the 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, the Holder may not transfer this Note unless the Holder first physically surrenders this Note to the Borrower, whereupon the Borrower will forthwith issue and deliver upon the order of the Holder a new Note of like tenor, registered as the Holder (upon payment by the Holder of any applicable transfer taxes) may request, representing in the aggregate the remaining unpaid principal amount of this Note. The 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 .

e) Obligation of Borrower to Deliver Common Stock . Upon receipt by the Borrower of a duly and properly executed Notice of Conversion, the 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 the 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 the Holder shall have given a Notice of Conversion as provided herein, the 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 the 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 the Borrower to the holder of record, or any setoff, counterclaim, recoupment, limitation or termination, or any breach or alleged breach by the Holder of any obligation to the Borrower, and irrespective of any other circumstance which might otherwise limit such obligation of the Borrower to the 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 the Borrower before 6:00 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 the Borrower is participating in the Depository Trust Company (“DTC”) Fast Automated Securities Transfer (“FAST”) program, upon request of the Holder and its compliance with the provisions contained in Section 1.1 and in this Section 1.4, the Borrower shall use its best efforts to cause its transfer agent to electronically transmit the Common Stock issuable upon conversion to the Holder by crediting the account of Holder’s Prime Broker with DTC through its Deposit Withdrawal Agent Commission (“DWAC”) system.

 

g) Failure to Deliver Common Stock Prior to Deadline. Without in any way limiting the 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 (other than a failure due to the circumstances described in Section

 

h) 1.3 above, which failure shall be governed by such Section) the Borrower shall pay to the Holder

 

i) $2,000.00 per day in cash, for each day beyond the Deadline that the Borrower fails to deliver such Common Stock through willful acts designed to hinder the delivery of Common Stock to the Holder. 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 the Holder (by written notice to the 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. The Borrower agrees that the right to convert is a valuable right to the Holder. The damages resulting from a failure, attempt to frustrate, 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.

1.4. 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) the 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 the Borrower who agrees to sell or otherwise transfer the shares only in accordance with this Section 1.5 and who is an Accredited Investor. (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:

 

“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.

 

legend set forth above shall be removed and the Borrower shall issue to the Holder a new certificate therefore free of any transfer legend if (i) the Borrower or its transfer agent shall have received an opinion of counsel 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 accepted by the Company so that the sale or transfer is or (ii) in the case of the Common Stock issuable upon conversion of this Note, such security is registered for sale by the 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 the Company 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 3.2 of this Note.

In the event that the Borrower issues at any time when this Note is issued and outstanding to any person, group or entity (during the period that there remains an outstanding balance on the note), subsequent convertible securities bearing a greater conversion discount and / or longer look back period than that which is stated in this note, then the conversion discount and / or the look back period will be adjusted to equal the conversion discount and / or look back period of the subsequent convertible securities. Additionally, notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Note, in the event that the borrower issues any subsequent convertible securities that would allow for conversion that would result in beneficial ownership by the Holder of the subsequent convertible securities (and / or its affiliates) of up to 9.99% of the outstanding shares of Common Stock, then this note shall allow for conversion that would result beneficial ownership by the Holder (and its affiliates) of up to 9.99%

This Note shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of the State of New York without regard to conflicts of laws principles that would result in the application of the substantive laws of another jurisdiction. Any action brought by either party against the other concerning the transactions contemplated by this Agreement must be brought only in the civil or state courts of New York or in the federal courts located in the State and county of New York. Both parties and the individual signing this Agreement on behalf of the Borrower agree to submit to the jurisdiction of such courts. 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 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 unenforceability of any other provision of this Note. Nothing contained herein shall be deemed or operate to preclude the Holder from bringing suit or taking other legal action against the Borrower in any other jurisdiction to collect on the Borrower’s obligations to Holder, to realize on any collateral or any other security for such obligations, or to enforce a judgment or other decision in favor of the Holder. This Note shall be deemed an unconditional obligation of Borrower for the payment of money and, without limitation to any other remedies of Holder, may be enforced against Borrower by summary proceeding pursuant to New York Civil Procedure Law and Rules Section 3213 or any similar rule or statute in the jurisdiction where enforcement is sought. For purposes of such rule or statute, any other document or agreement to which Holder and Borrower are parties or which Borrower delivered to Holder, which may be convenient or necessary to determine Holder’s rights hereunder or Borrower’s obligations to Holder are deemed a part of this Note, whether or not such other document or agreement was delivered together herewith or was executed apart from this Note.

 

4.7. Certain Amounts . Whenever pursuant to this Note the 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, the Borrower and the Holder agree that the actual damages to the Holder from the receipt of cash payment on this Note may be difficult to determine and the amount to be so paid by the Borrower represents stipulated damages and not a penalty and is intended to compensate the 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. The Borrower and the Holder hereby agree that such amount of stipulated damages is not plainly disproportionate to the possible loss to the Holder from the receipt of a cash payment without the opportunity to convert this Note into shares of Common Stock.

 

15
 

 

4.8. 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, the 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.

 

4.9. Notice of Corporate Events . Except as otherwise provided below, the Holder of this Note shall have no rights as a Holder of Common Stock unless and only to the extent that it converts this Note into Common Stock. The Borrower shall provide the Holder with prior notification of any meeting of the Borrower’s shareholders (and copies of proxy materials and other information sent to shareholders). In the event of any taking by the 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 the Borrower or any proposed liquidation, dissolution or winding up of the Borrower, the Borrower shall mail a notice to the 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. The Borrower shall make a public announcement of any event requiring notification to the Holder hereunder substantially simultaneously with the notification to the Holder in accordance with the terms of this Section 4.9.

 

4.10. Remedies . The Borrower acknowledges that a breach by it of its obligations hereunder will cause irreparable harm to the Holder, by vitiating the intent and purpose of the transaction contemplated hereby. Accordingly, the 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 the Borrower of the provisions of this Note, that the 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.

12% CONVERTIBLE PROMISSORY NOTE

 

FOR VALUE RECEIVED , SYLIOS CORP, a Florida corporation (hereinafter called the “Borrower”), hereby promises to pay to the order of DARLING INVESTMENTS, LLC a Florida limited liability company, or registered assigns (the “Holder”) the sum of Ten Thousand Dollars ($10,000.00) as set forth herein, on March 7, 2018 (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 March 7, 2017 until the Note plus any and all accrued interest is paid in full. The Holder will have the option to extend the Maturity Date an additional nine (9) months. The Holder must inform the Borrower, in writing, within thirty (30) days from the original Maturity Date of its intent to extend the Maturity Date. Interest shall commence accruing on the date that the Note is fully paid and shall be computed on the basis of a 360-day year and the actual number of days elapsed. Any amount of principal or interest on this Note which is not paid when due shall bear interest at the rate of twenty two percent (22%) per annum or the maximum rate permitted under applicable law from the due date thereof until the same is paid (“Default Interest”). All payments due hereunder (to the extent not converted into common stock, $0.001 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 the Holder shall hereafter give to the 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.

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 the Borrower and will not impose personal liability upon the holder thereof.

 

The following terms shall apply to this Note:

 

ARTICLE I. CONVERSION RIGHTS

 

1.1. Conversion Right . The Holder shall have the right at any time after 180 days from issuance of the note 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 the Borrower into which such Common Stock shall hereafter be changed or reclassified at the conversion price (the “Conversion Price”) determined as provided herein (a “Conversion”); provided , however , that in no event shall the Holder be entitled to convert any portion of this Note in excess of that portion of this Note upon conversion of which the sum of (1) the number of shares of Common Stock beneficially owned by the Holder and its affiliates (other than shares of Common Stock which may be deemed beneficially owned through the ownership of the unconverted portion of the Notes or the unexercised or unconverted portion of any other security of the Borrower subject to a limitation on conversion or exercise analogous to the limitations contained herein) and (2) the number of shares of Common Stock issuable upon the conversion of the portion of this Note with respect to which the determination of this proviso is being made, would result in beneficial ownership by the Holder and its affiliates of more than 9.99% of the outstanding shares of Common Stock. For purposes of the proviso to the immediately preceding sentence, beneficial ownership shall be determined in accordance with Section 13(d) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”), and Regulations 13D-G thereunder, except as otherwise provided in clause (1) of such proviso, provided , further , however , that the limitations on conversion may be waived by the Holder upon, at the election of the Holder, not less than 61 days’ prior notice to the Borrower, and the provisions of the conversion limitation shall continue to apply until such 61st day (or such later date, as determined by the Holder, as may be specified in such notice of waiver). 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 the Borrower by the Holder in accordance with Section 1.4 below; provided that the Notice of Conversion is submitted by facsimile or e-mail (or by other means resulting in, or reasonably expected to result in, notice) to the Borrower before 6:00 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 the 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, plus (3) at the Holder’s option, Default Interest, if any, on the amounts referred to in the immediately preceding clauses (1) and/or (2) plus (4) at the Holder’s option, any amounts owed to the Holder pursuant to Sections 1.3 and 1.4(g) hereof.

 

2
 

 

1.2. Conversion Price .

 

a) Calculation of Conversion Price . The conversion price (the “Conversion Price”) shall equal the Variable Conversion Price (as defined herein) (subject to equitable adjustments for stock splits, stock dividends or rights offerings by the Borrower relating to the Borrower’s securities or the securities of any subsidiary of the Borrower, combinations, recapitalization, reclassifications, extraordinary distributions and similar events). The “Variable Conversion Price” shall mean the 20% multiplied by the Market Price (as defined herein) “Market Price” means the lowest closing bid Price (as defined below) for the Common Stock during the Twenty Five (25) Trading Day period immediately preceding the Conversion Date (the “Look Back Period”). “Trading Price” means, for any security as of any date, the closing stock price on the Over-the-Counter Bulletin Board, or applicable trading market (the “OTCPink”) as reported by a reliable reporting service (“Reporting Service”) designated by the Holder (i.e. Bloomberg); provided that if the Closing Bid Price for the common stock on the Clearing date (defined below) is lower than the Closing Bid Price, then the purchase price shall be adjusted such that the Discount shall be taken from the closing bid price on the Clearing Date, and the company shall issue additional shares to Purchaser to reflect such adjusted Purchase Price. The Note shall have a conversion price floor of $0.0001 per share. For purposes of this Agreement, the Clearing Date shall be the latest date on which (i) the conversion shares are transferred to and deposited into the Buyer’s brokerage account by the Company’s representatives or transfer agent and (ii) Buyer’s broker has confirmed with Buyer that the Buyer may execute trades of the conversion shares. If such events occur after 5:30 PM Eastern Standard Time, the events shall be deemed to have occurred on the next trading day. Upon the exercise of any conversion, the Holder shall duly notify the Borrower whether principal or interest is being converted. If the Borrower’s Common stock is chilled for deposit at DTC, becomes chilled at any point while this Agreement remains outstanding or deposit otherwise additional fees due to a Yield Sign, Stop Sign or other trading restrictions, an additional 10% discount will be attributed to the Conversion Price defined hereof. For purposes of this agreement, “Trading Day” shall mean any day on which the Common Stock is tradable for any period on the OTCPink, or on the principal securities exchange or other securities market on which the Common Stock is then being traded. The company shall bear any and all miscellaneous expenses that may arise as a result of conversion of the note and the delivery of shares of common stock thereunder including but not limited to transfer agent fees, rule 144 legal opinion fees and deposit fees. All accrued conversion expenses paid by the holder shall be added to the amount being converted under the note. No fractional shares or scrip representing fractions of shares will be issued on conversion, but the number of shares issuable shall be rounded up or down, as the case may be, to the nearest whole share.

 

b) The Borrower acknowledges that it will take all reasonable steps necessary or appropriate to issue and deliver the common stock upon conversion, including providing a board of directors resolution authorizing the issuance of common stock. Without in any way limiting the 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 (3 Trading days) the Borrower shall pay to the Holder $2,000.00 per day in cash, for each day beyond the Deadline that the Borrower fails to deliver such Common Stock. 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 the Holder (by written notice to the 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. The Borrower agrees that the right to convert is a valuable right to the Holder. The damages resulting from a failure, attempt to frustrate, interfere with such conversion right are difficult if not impossible to qualify. Accordingly, the parties acknowledge that the liquidated damages provision contained in this Section are justified.

 

3
 

 

c) Conversion Price During Major Announcements . Notwithstanding anything contained in Section 1.2(a) to the contrary, in the event the Borrower (i) makes a public announcement that it intends to consolidate or merge with any other corporation (other than a merger in which the 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 the Borrower or (ii) any person, group or entity (including the Borrower) publicly announces a tender offer to purchase 50% or more of the 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 1.2(a). 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 1.2(b) has been made, the date upon which the 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(b) to become operative.

 

1.3. Authorized Shares . The Borrower covenants that during the period the conversion right exists, the 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 issued. The Borrower is required at all times to have authorized and reserved one and one half 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”). The Reserved Amount shall be increased from time to time in accordance with the Borrower’s obligations. Initially, the Company shall reserve the amount of shares listed in the “TA General Letter” dated January 9, 2017 in the name of the Holder. The Borrower represents that upon issuance, such shares will be duly and validly issued, fully paid and non-assessable. In addition, if the 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, the 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. The 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. If, at any time the Borrower does not maintain the Reserved Amount it will be considered an Event of Default under Section 3.2 of the Note Method of Conversion .

 

4
 

 

a) Mechanics of Conversion . Subject to Section 1.1, this Note may be converted by the Holder in whole or in part at any time from time to time after 180 days from Issue Date, by (A) submitting to the Borrower a Notice of Conversion (by facsimile, e-mail or other reasonable means of communication dispatched on the Conversion Date prior to 6:00 p.m., New York, New York time) and (B) subject to Section 1.4(b), surrendering this Note at the principal office of the 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, the Holder shall not be required to physically surrender this Note to the Borrower unless the entire unpaid principal amount of this Note is so converted. The Holder and the 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 the Holder and the 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 the 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, the Holder may not transfer this Note unless the Holder first physically surrenders this Note to the Borrower, whereupon the Borrower will forthwith issue and deliver upon the order of the Holder a new Note of like tenor, registered as the Holder (upon payment by the Holder of any applicable transfer taxes) may request, representing in the aggregate the remaining unpaid principal amount of this Note. The 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 . The 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 the Holder (or in street name), and the 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 the Holder or the custodian in whose street name such shares are to be held for the Holder’s account) requesting the issuance thereof shall have paid to the Borrower the amount of any such tax or shall have established to the satisfaction of the Borrower that such tax has been paid.

 

d) Delivery of Common Stock Upon Conversion . Upon receipt by the Borrower from the Holder of a facsimile transmission 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, the Borrower shall issue and deliver or cause to be issued and delivered to or upon the order of the 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.

 

5
 

 

e) Obligation of Borrower to Deliver Common Stock . Upon receipt by the Borrower of a duly and properly executed Notice of Conversion, the 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 the 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 the Holder shall have given a Notice of Conversion as provided herein, the 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 the 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 the Borrower to the holder of record, or any setoff, counterclaim, recoupment, limitation or termination, or any breach or alleged breach by the Holder of any obligation to the Borrower, and irrespective of any other circumstance which might otherwise limit such obligation of the Borrower to the 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 the Borrower before 6:00 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 the Borrower is participating in the Depository Trust Company (“DTC”) Fast Automated Securities Transfer (“FAST”) program, upon request of the Holder and its compliance with the provisions contained in Section 1.1 and in this Section 1.4, the Borrower shall use its best efforts to cause its transfer agent to electronically transmit the Common Stock issuable upon conversion to the Holder by crediting the account of Holder’s Prime Broker with DTC through its Deposit Withdrawal Agent Commission (“DWAC”) system.

 

g) Failure to Deliver Common Stock Prior to Deadline. Without in any way limiting the 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 (other than a failure due to the circumstances described in Section

 

h) 1.3 above, which failure shall be governed by such Section) the Borrower shall pay to the Holder

 

i) $2,000.00 per day in cash, for each day beyond the Deadline that the Borrower fails to deliver such Common Stock through willful acts designed to hinder the delivery of Common Stock to the Holder. 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 the Holder (by written notice to the 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. The Borrower agrees that the right to convert is a valuable right to the Holder. The damages resulting from a failure, attempt to frustrate, 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.

1.4. 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) the 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 the Borrower who agrees to sell or otherwise transfer the shares only in accordance with this Section 1.5 and who is an Accredited Investor. (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:

 

“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.

 

legend set forth above shall be removed and the Borrower shall issue to the Holder a new certificate therefore free of any transfer legend if (i) the Borrower or its transfer agent shall have received an opinion of counsel 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 accepted by the Company so that the sale or transfer is or (ii) in the case of the Common Stock issuable upon conversion of this Note, such security is registered for sale by the 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 the Company 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 3.2 of this Note.

1.5. Effect of Certain Events .

 

a) Effect of Merger, Consolidation, Etc . At the option of the Holder, the sale, conveyance or disposition of all or substantially all of the assets of the Borrower, the effectuation by the Borrower of a transaction or series of related transactions in which more than 50% of the voting power of the Borrower is disposed of, or the consolidation, merger or other business combination of the Borrower with or into any other Person (as defined below) or Persons when the Borrower is not the survivor shall either: (i) be deemed to be an Event of Default (as defined in Article III) pursuant to which the Borrower shall be required to pay to the 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.

Section 4 . Conversion .

 

a) Voluntary Conversion . At any time after the Closing Date, until this Note is no longer outstanding, this Note shall be convertible, in whole or in part, into shares of Common Stock at the option of the Holder, at any time and from time to time (subject to the conversion limitations set forth in Section 4(d) hereof). The Holder shall effect conversions by delivering to Borrower a Notice of Conversion, the form of which is attached hereto as Annex A (each, a “ Notice of Conversion ”), specifying therein the principal amount of this Note and accrued interest, if any, to be converted at the election of the Holder and the date on which such conversion shall be effected (such date, the “ Conversion Date ”). If no Conversion Date is specified in a Notice of Conversion, the Conversion Date shall be the date that such Notice of Conversion is deemed delivered hereunder. To effect conversions hereunder, the Holder shall not be required to physically surrender this Note to Borrower unless the entire principal amount of this Note has been so converted. Conversions of principal hereunder shall have the effect of lowering the outstanding principal amount of this Note in an amount equal to the applicable conversion. The Holder and Borrower shall maintain records showing the principal amount(s) converted and the date of such conversion(s). Borrower may deliver an objection to any Notice of Conversion within one (1) Business Day of delivery of such Notice of Conversion. In the event of any dispute or discrepancy, the records of the Holder shall be controlling and determinative in the absence of manifest error. The 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 may be less than the amount stated on the face hereof.

 

b) Conversion Price . The conversion price for the principal and interest in connection with voluntary conversions by the Holder shall be 70% multiplied by the Market Price (as defined herein)(representing a discount rate of 30%), subject to adjustment as described herein (“ Conversion Price ”). Market Price” means the lowest one (1) Trading Prices (as defined below) for the Common Stock during the twenty (20) Trading Day period ending on the last complete Trading Day prior to the Conversion Date. “Trading Prices” means, for any security as of any date, the lowest traded price on the Over-the Counter Pink Marketplace, OTCQB, or applicable trading market (the “OTCQB”) as reported by a reliable reporting service (“Reporting Service”) designated by the Holder (i.e. www.Nasdaq.com) or, if the OTCQB is not the principal trading market for such security, on the principal securities exchange or trading market where such security is listed or traded or, if the lowest intraday trading price of such security is not available in any of the foregoing manners, the lowest intraday price of any market makers for such security that are quoted on the OTC Markets. If the Trading Prices cannot be calculated for such security on such date in the manner provided above, the Trading Prices shall be the fair market value as mutually determined by the Borrower and the holders of a majority in interest of the Notes being converted for which the calculation of the Trading Prices are 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 OTCQB, or on the principal securities exchange or other securities market on which the Common Stock is then being traded. Upon any Event of Default, including not having current financial information publicly disclosed, the Conversion Price will be reduced to 60% multiplied by the Market Price (as defined herein)(representing a discount rate of 40%).

 

c) Mechanics of Conversion .

 

i. Conversion Shares Issuable Upon Conversion of Principal Amount . The number of Conversion Shares issuable upon a conversion hereunder shall be determined by the quotient obtained by dividing (x) the outstanding principal amount of this Note to be converted plus interest, if any, elected by the Holder to be converted by (y) the Conversion Price. Upon every Conversion, the Company shall deliver an additional $500 worth of shares (as calculated by the Conversion Price in effect on the Conversion Notice being honored) to cover the Holder’s expenses and deposit fees associated with each Notice of Conversion.

 

5
 

 

ii. Delivery of Certificate Upon Conversion . Not later than five (5) Trading Days after each Conversion Date (the “ Share Delivery Date ”), Borrower shall deliver, or cause to be delivered, to the Holder a certificate or certificates representing the Conversion Shares which, on or after the earlier of (i) the six month anniversary of the Original Issue Date or (ii) the Effective Date, shall be free of restrictive legends and trading restrictions (other than those which may then be required by the Purchase Agreement) representing the number of Conversion Shares being acquired upon the conversion of this Note. On or after the earlier of (i) the six-month anniversary of the Original Issue Date or (ii) the Effective Date, Borrower shall in lieu of delivering physical certificates representing the Conversion Shares, upon request of the Holder, so long as the certificates therefor do not bear a legend and the Holder is not obligated to return such certificate for the placement of a legend thereon, the Borrower shall cause its transfer agent to electronically transmit the Conversion Shares by crediting the account of Holder’s prime broker with the Depository Trust Company through its Deposit Withdrawal At Custodian system, provided that the Borrower’s Common Stock is DTC eligible and the Borrower’s transfer agent participates in the Deposit Withdrawal at Custodian system. Such delivery must be made on or before the Legend Removal Date.

 

iii. Failure to Deliver Certificates . If, in the case of any Notice of Conversion, such certificate or certificates are not delivered to or as directed by the applicable Holder by the Share Delivery Date, the Holder shall be entitled to elect by written notice to Borrower at any time on or before its receipt of such certificate or certificates, to rescind such Conversion, in which event Borrower shall promptly return to the Holder any original Note delivered to Borrower and the Holder shall promptly return to Borrower the Common Stock certificates issued to such Holder pursuant to the rescinded Conversion Notice.

 

iv. Obligation Absolute . Borrower’s obligations to issue and deliver the Conversion Shares upon conversion of this Note in accordance with the terms hereof are absolute and unconditional, irrespective of any action or inaction by the Holder to enforce the same, any waiver or consent with respect to any provision hereof, the recovery of any judgment against any Person or any action to enforce the same, or any setoff, counterclaim, recoupment, limitation or termination, or any breach or alleged breach by the Holder or any other Person of any obligation to Borrower or any violation or alleged violation of law by the Holder or any other Person, and irrespective of any other circumstance which might otherwise limit such obligation of Borrower to the Holder in connection with the issuance of such Conversion Shares; provided , however , that such delivery shall not operate as a waiver by Borrower of any such action Borrower may have against the Holder. In the event the Holder of this Note shall elect to convert any or all of the outstanding principal amount hereof, Borrower may not refuse conversion based on any claim that the Holder or anyone associated or affiliated with the Holder has been engaged in any violation of law, agreement or for any other reason, unless an injunction from a court, on notice to Holder, restraining and or enjoining conversion of all or part of this Note shall have been sought and obtained, and Borrower posts a surety bond for the benefit of the Holder in the amount of 150% of the outstanding principal amount of this Note, which is subject to the injunction, which bond shall remain in effect until the completion of arbitration/litigation of the underlying dispute and the proceeds of which shall be payable to the Holder to the extent it obtains judgment. In the absence of such injunction, Borrower shall issue Conversion Shares or, if applicable, cash, upon a properly noticed conversion. If Borrower fails for any reason to deliver to the Holder such certificate or certificates pursuant to Section 4(c)(ii) by the Share Delivery Date, Borrower shall pay to the Holder, in cash, as liquidated damages and not as a penalty, for each $1,000 of principal amount being converted, $10 per Trading Day (increasing to $20 per Trading Day on the fifth (5th) Trading Day after such liquidated damages being to accrue) for each Trading Day after such Share Delivery Date until such certificates are delivered or Holder rescinds such conversion. Nothing herein shall limit a Holder’s right to pursue actual damages or declare an Event of Default pursuant to Section 8 hereof for Borrower’s failure to deliver Conversion Shares within the period specified herein and the Holder shall have the right to pursue all remedies available to it hereunder, at law or in equity including, without limitation, a decree of specific performance and/or injunctive relief. The exercise of any such rights shall not prohibit the Holder from seeking to enforce damages pursuant to any other Section hereof or under applicable law.

v. Compensation for Buy-In on Failure to Timely Deliver Certificates Upon Conversion . In addition to any other rights available to the Holder, if Borrower fails for any reason to deliver to the Holder such certificate or certificates by the Share Delivery Date pursuant to Section 4(c)(ii), and if after such Share Delivery Date the Holder is required by its brokerage firm to purchase (in an open market transaction or otherwise), or the Holder or Holder’s brokerage firm otherwise purchases, shares of Common Stock to deliver in satisfaction of a sale by the Holder of the Conversion Shares which the Holder was entitled to receive upon the conversion relating to such Share Delivery Date (a “ Buy-In ”), then Borrower shall (A) pay in cash to the Holder (in addition to any other remedies available to or elected by the Holder) the amount, if any, by which (x) the Holder’s total purchase price (including any brokerage commissions) for the Common Stock so purchased exceeds (y) the product of (1) the aggregate number of shares of Common Stock that the Holder was entitled to receive from the conversion at issue multiplied by (2) the actual sale price at which the sell order giving rise to such purchase obligation was executed (including any brokerage commissions) and (B) at the option of the Holder, either reissue (if surrendered) this Note in a principal amount equal to the principal amount of the attempted conversion (in which case such conversion shall be deemed rescinded) or deliver to the Holder the number of shares of Common Stock that would have been issued if Borrower had timely complied with its delivery requirements under Section 4(c)(ii). For example, if the Holder purchases Common Stock having a total purchase price of $11,000 to cover a Buy-In with respect to an attempted conversion of this Note with respect to which the actual sale price of the Conversion Shares (including any brokerage commissions) giving rise to such purchase obligation was a total of $10,000 under clause (A) of the immediately preceding sentence, Borrower shall be required to pay the Holder $1,000. The Holder shall provide Borrower written notice indicating the amounts payable to the Holder in respect of the Buy-In and, upon request of Borrower, evidence of the amount of such loss. Nothing herein shall limit a Holder’s right to pursue any other remedies available to it hereunder, at law or in equity including, without limitation, a decree of specific performance and/or injunctive relief with respect to Borrower’s failure to timely deliver certificates representing shares of Common Stock upon conversion of this Note as required pursuant to the terms hereof.

 

vi. Reservation of Shares Issuable Upon Conversion . Borrower covenants that it will at all times reserve and keep available out of its authorized and unissued shares of Common Stock for the sole purpose of issuance upon conversion of this Note as herein provided, free from preemptive rights or any other actual contingent purchase rights of Persons other than the Holder (and the other holders of the Notes), not less than three times such aggregate number of shares of the Common Stock as shall (subject to the terms and conditions set forth in the Purchase Agreement) be issuable (taking into account the adjustments and restrictions of Section 5) upon the conversion of the then outstanding principal amount of this Note and interest which has accrued and would accrue on such principal amount, assuming such principal amount was not converted through three years after the Original Issue Date. Borrower covenants that all shares of Common Stock that shall be so issuable shall, upon issue, be duly authorized, validly issued, fully paid and nonassessable.

 

7
 

 

vii. Fractional Shares . No fractional shares or scrip representing fractional shares shall be issued upon the conversion of this Note. As to any fraction of a share which the Holder would otherwise be entitled to purchase upon such conversion, Borrower shall at its election, either pay a cash adjustment in respect of such final fraction in an amount equal to such fraction multiplied by the Conversion Price or round up to the next whole share.

 

viii. Transfer Taxes and Expenses . The issuance of certificates for shares of the Common Stock on conversion of this Note shall be made without charge to the Holder hereof for any documentary stamp or similar taxes that may be payable in respect of the issue or delivery of such certificates, provided that, Borrower shall not be required to pay any tax that may be payable in respect of any transfer involved in the issuance and delivery of any such certificate upon conversion in a name other than that of the Holder of this Note so converted and Borrower shall not be required to issue or deliver such certificates unless or until the Person or Persons requesting the issuance thereof shall have paid to Borrower the amount of such tax or shall have established to the satisfaction of Borrower that such tax has been paid. Borrower shall pay all Transfer Agent fees required for same-day processing of any Notice of Conversion.

 

d) Holder’s Conversion Limitations . Borrower shall not effect any conversion of this Note, and a Holder shall not have the right to convert any portion of this Note, to the extent that after giving effect to the conversion set forth on the applicable Notice of Conversion, the Holder (together with the Holder’s Affiliates, and any Persons acting as a group together with the Holder or any of the Holder’s Affiliates) would beneficially own in excess of the Beneficial Ownership Limitation (as defined below). For purposes of the foregoing sentence, the number of shares of Common Stock beneficially owned by the Holder and its Affiliates shall include the number of shares of Common Stock issuable upon conversion of this Note with respect to which such determination is being made, but shall exclude the number of shares of Common Stock which are issuable upon (i) conversion of the remaining, unconverted principal amount of this Note beneficially owned by the Holder or any of its Affiliates and (ii) exercise or conversion of the unexercised or unconverted portion of any other securities of Borrower subject to a limitation on conversion or exercise analogous to the limitation contained herein (including, without limitation, any other Notes or the Warrants) beneficially owned by the Holder or any of its Affiliates. Except as set forth in the preceding sentence, for purposes of this Section 4(d), beneficial ownership shall be calculated in accordance with Section 13(d) of the Exchange Act and the rules and regulations promulgated thereunder. To the extent that the limitation contained in this Section 4(d) applies, the determination of whether this Note is convertible (in relation to other securities owned by the Holder together with any Affiliates) and of which principal amount of this Note is convertible shall be in the sole discretion of the Holder, and the submission of a Notice of Conversion shall be deemed to be the Holder’s determination of whether this Note may be converted (in relation to other securities owned by the Holder together with any Affiliates) and which principal amount of this Note is convertible, in each case subject to the Beneficial Ownership Limitation. To ensure compliance with this restriction, the Holder will be deemed to represent to Borrower each time it delivers a Notice of Conversion that such Notice of Conversion has not violated the restrictions set forth in this paragraph and Borrower shall have no obligation to verify or confirm the accuracy of such determination. In addition, a determination as to any group status as contemplated above shall be determined in accordance with Section 13(d) of the Exchange Act and the rules and regulations promulgated thereunder. For purposes of this Section 4(d), in determining the number of outstanding shares of Common Stock, the Holder may rely on the number of outstanding shares of Common Stock as stated in the most recent of the following: (i) Borrower’s most recent periodic or annual report filed with the Commission, as the case may be, (ii) a more recent public announcement by Borrower, or (iii) a more recent written notice by Borrower or Borrower’s transfer agent setting forth the number of shares of Common Stock outstanding. Upon the written or oral request of a Holder, Borrower shall within two Trading Days confirm orally and in writing to the Holder the number of shares of Common Stock then outstanding. In any case, the number of outstanding shares of Common Stock shall be determined after giving effect to the conversion or exercise of securities of Borrower, including this Note, by the Holder or its Affiliates since the date as of which such number of outstanding shares of Common Stock was reported. The “ Beneficial Ownership Limitation ” shall be 4.99% of the number of shares of the Common Stock outstanding immediately after giving effect to the issuance of shares of Common Stock issuable upon conversion of this Note held by the Holder. The Holder may decrease the Beneficial Ownership Limitation at any time and the Holder, upon not less than 61 days’ prior notice to Borrower, may increase the Beneficial Ownership Limitation provisions of this Section 4(d), provided that the Beneficial Ownership Limitation in no event exceeds 9.99% of the number of shares of the Common Stock outstanding immediately after giving effect to the issuance of shares of Common Stock upon conversion of this Note held by the Holder and the Beneficial Ownership Limitation provisions of this Section 4(d) shall continue to apply. Any such increase will not be effective until the 61st day after such notice is delivered to Borrower. The Beneficial Ownership Limitation provisions of this paragraph shall be construed and implemented in a manner otherwise than in strict conformity with the terms of this Section 4(d) to correct this paragraph (or any portion hereof) which may be defective or inconsistent with the intended Beneficial Ownership Limitation contained herein or to make changes or supplements necessary or desirable to properly give effect to such limitation. The limitations contained in this paragraph shall apply to a successor holder of this Note.

Section 5 . Certain Adjustments .

 

a) Fundamental Transaction . If, at any time while this Note is outstanding, (i) Borrower, directly or indirectly, in one or more related transactions effects any merger or consolidation of Borrower with or into another Person, (ii) Borrower, directly or indirectly, effects any sale, lease, license, assignment, transfer, conveyance or other disposition of all or substantially all of its assets in one or a series of related transactions, (iii) any, direct or indirect, purchase offer, tender offer or exchange offer (whether by Borrower or another Person) is completed pursuant to which holders of Common Stock are permitted to sell, tender or exchange their shares for other securities, cash or property and has been accepted by the holders of 50% or more of the outstanding Common Stock, (iv) Borrower, directly or indirectly, in one or more related transactions effects any reclassification, reorganization or recapitalization of the Common Stock or any compulsory share exchange pursuant to which the Common Stock is effectively converted into or exchanged for other securities, cash or property, (v) Borrower, directly or indirectly, in one or more related transactions consummates a stock or share purchase agreement or other business combination (including, without limitation, a reorganization, recapitalization, spin-off or scheme of arrangement) with another Person whereby such other Person acquires more than 50% of the outstanding shares of Common Stock (not including any shares of Common Stock held by the other Person or other Persons making or party to, or associated or affiliated with the other Persons making or party to, such stock or share purchase agreement or other business combination) (each a “ Fundamental Transaction ”), then, upon any subsequent conversion of this Note, the Holder shall have the right to receive, for each Conversion Share that would have been issuable upon such conversion immediately prior to the occurrence of such Fundamental Transaction (without regard to any limitation in Section 4(d) on the conversion of this Note), the number of shares of Common Stock of the successor or acquiring corporation or of Borrower, if it is the surviving corporation, and any additional consideration (the “ Alternate Consideration ”) receivable as a result of such Fundamental Transaction by a holder of the number of shares of Common Stock for which this Note is convertible immediately prior to such Fundamental Transaction (without regard to any limitation in Section 4(d) on the conversion of this Note). For purposes of any such conversion, the determination of the Conversion Price shall be appropriately adjusted to apply to such Alternate Consideration based on the amount of Alternate Consideration issuable in respect of one (1) share of Common Stock in such Fundamental Transaction, and Borrower shall apportion the Conversion Price among the Alternate Consideration in a reasonable manner reflecting the relative value of any different components of the Alternate Consideration. If holders of Common Stock are given any choice as to the securities, cash or property to be received in a Fundamental Transaction, then the Holder shall be given the same choice as to the Alternate Consideration it receives upon any conversion of this Note following such Fundamental Transaction. Borrower shall cause any successor entity in a Fundamental Transaction in which Borrower is not the survivor (the “ Successor Entity ”) to assume in writing all of the obligations of Borrower under this Note and the other Transaction Documents (as defined in the Purchase Agreement) in accordance with the provisions of this Section 5(a) pursuant to written agreements in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to the Holder and approved by the Holder (without unreasonable delay) prior to such Fundamental Transaction and shall, at the option of the holder of this Note, deliver to the Holder in exchange for this Note a security of the Successor Entity evidenced by a written instrument substantially similar in form and substance to this Note which is convertible for a corresponding number of shares of capital stock of such Successor Entity (or its parent entity) equivalent to the shares of Common Stock acquirable and receivable upon conversion of this Note (without regard to any limitations on the conversion of this Note) prior to such Fundamental Transaction, and with a conversion price which applies the conversion price hereunder to such shares of capital stock (but taking into account the relative value of the shares of Common Stock pursuant to such Fundamental Transaction and the value of such shares of capital stock, such number of shares of capital stock and such conversion price being for the purpose of protecting the economic value of this Note immediately prior to the consummation of such Fundamental Transaction), and which is reasonably satisfactory in form and substance to the Holder. Upon the occurrence of any such Fundamental Transaction, the Successor Entity shall succeed to, and be substituted for (so that from and after the date of such Fundamental Transaction, the provisions of this Note and the other Transaction Documents referring to the “Company” shall refer instead to the Successor Entity), and may exercise every right and power of Borrower and shall assume all of the obligations of Borrower under this Note and the other Transaction Documents with the same effect as if such Successor Entity had been named as Borrower herein.

 

9
 

 

b) Calculations . All calculations under this Section 5 shall be made to the nearest cent or the nearest 1/100th of a share, as the case may be. For purposes of this Section 5, the number of shares of Common Stock deemed to be issued and outstanding as of a given date shall be the sum of the number of shares of Common Stock (excluding any treasury shares of Borrower) issued and outstanding.

 

c) Notice to the Holder .

 

i. Adjustment to Conversion Price . Whenever the Conversion Price is adjusted pursuant to any provision of this Section 5, Borrower shall promptly deliver to each Holder a notice setting forth the Conversion Price after such adjustment and setting forth a brief statement of the facts requiring such adjustment.

 

ii. Notice to Allow Conversion by Holder . If (A) Borrower shall declare a dividend (or any other distribution in whatever form) on the Common Stock, (B) Borrower shall declare a special nonrecurring cash dividend on or a redemption of the Common Stock, (C) Borrower shall authorize the granting to all holders of the Common Stock of rights or warrants to subscribe for or purchase any shares of capital stock of any class or of any rights, (D) the approval of any stockholders of Borrower shall be required in connection with any reclassification of the Common Stock, any consolidation or merger to which Borrower is a party, any sale or transfer of all or substantially all of the assets of Borrower, or any compulsory share exchange whereby the Common Stock is converted into other securities, cash or property or (E) Borrower shall authorize the voluntary or involuntary dissolution, liquidation or winding up of the affairs of Borrower, then, in each case, Borrower shall cause to be filed at each office or agency maintained for the purpose of conversion of this Note, and shall cause to be delivered to the Holder at its last address as it shall appear upon the Note Register, at least twenty (20) calendar days prior to the applicable record or effective date hereinafter specified, a notice stating (x) the date on which a record is to be taken for the purpose of such dividend, distribution, redemption, rights or warrants, or if a record is not to be taken, the date as of which the holders of the Common Stock of record to be entitled to such dividend, distributions, redemption, rights or warrants are to be determined or (y) the date on which such reclassification, consolidation, merger, sale, transfer or share exchange is expected to become effective or close, and the date as of which it is expected that holders of the Common Stock of record shall be entitled to exchange their shares of the Common Stock for securities, cash or other property deliverable upon such reclassification, consolidation, merger, sale, transfer or share exchange, provided that the failure to deliver such notice or any defect therein or in the delivery thereof shall not affect the validity of the corporate action required to be specified in such notice. To the extent that any notice provided hereunder constitutes, or contains, material, non-public information regarding Borrower or any of the Subsidiaries, Borrower shall simultaneously file such notice with the Commission pursuant to a Current Report on Form 8-K. The Holder shall remain entitled to convert this Note during the 20-day period commencing on the date of such notice through the effective date of the event triggering such notice except as may otherwise be expressly set forth herein.

b) amend its charter documents, including, without limitation, its certificate of incorporation and bylaws, in any manner that materially and adversely affects any rights of the Holder, provided, however, that Borrower may amend its articles of incorporation to increase the number of common shares authorized provided all such additional shares of common stock are reserved solely for issuance to the Holders, or to create a class or series of preferred stock so long as the class or series has no conversion or dividend rights, or any liquidation preference;

 

c) repay, repurchase or offer to repay, repurchase or otherwise acquire more than a de minimis number of shares of its Common Stock or Common Stock Equivalents other than as to the Conversion Shares or Warrant Shares as permitted or required under the Transaction Documents;

 

d) declare or make any dividend or other distribution of its assets or rights to acquire its assets to holders of shares of Common Stock, preferred stock, or any other equity security by way of return of capital or otherwise including, without limitation, any distribution of cash, stock or other securities, property or options by way of a dividend, spin off, reclassification, corporate rearrangement, scheme of arrangement or other similar transaction;

 

d) enter into any transaction with any Affiliate of Borrower which would be required to be disclosed in any public filing with the Commission, unless such transaction is made on an arm’s-length basis and expressly approved by a majority of the disinterested directors of Borrower (even if less than a quorum otherwise required for board approval); or

ARTICLE IV.

OTHER AGREEMENTS OF THE PARTIES

 

4.1 Transfer Restrictions .

 

(a) Disposition of Securities . The Securities may only be disposed of in compliance with state and federal securities laws. In connection with any transfer of Securities other than pursuant to an effective registration statement or Rule 144, to the Company or to an Affiliate of a Purchaser or in connection with a pledge as contemplated in Section 4.1(b), the Company may require the transferor thereof to provide to the Company at the Company’s expense, an opinion of counsel selected by the transferor and reasonably acceptable to the Company, the form and substance of which opinion shall be reasonably satisfactory to the Company, to the effect that such transfer does not require registration of such transferred Securities under the Securities Act. As a condition of transfer, any such transferee shall agree in writing to be bound by the terms of this Agreement and shall have the rights and obligations of a Purchaser under the Transaction Documents and registration statement, if any.

 

(b) Legend . The Purchasers agree to the imprinting, so long as is required by this Section 4.1, of a legend on any of the Securities in the following form:

 

[NEITHER] THIS SECURITY [NOR THE SECURITIES INTO WHICH THIS SECURITY IS [EXERCISABLE] [CONVERTIBLE]] HAS [NOT] BEEN REGISTERED WITH THE SECURITIES AND EXCHANGE COMMISSION OR THE SECURITIES COMMISSION OF ANY STATE IN RELIANCE UPON AN EXEMPTION FROM REGISTRATION UNDER THE SECURITIES ACT OF 1933, AS AMENDED (THE “SECURITIES ACT”), AND, ACCORDINGLY, MAY NOT BE OFFERED OR SOLD EXCEPT PURSUANT TO AN EFFECTIVE REGISTRATION STATEMENT UNDER THE SECURITIES ACT OR PURSUANT TO AN AVAILABLE EXEMPTION FROM, OR IN A TRANSACTION NOT SUBJECT TO, THE REGISTRATION REQUIREMENTS OF THE SECURITIES ACT AND IN ACCORDANCE WITH APPLICABLE STATE SECURITIES LAWS AS EVIDENCED BY A LEGAL OPINION OF COUNSEL TO THE TRANSFEROR TO SUCH EFFECT, THE SUBSTANCE OF WHICH SHALL BE REASONABLY ACCEPTABLE TO THE COMPANY. THIS SECURITY [AND THE SECURITIES ISSUABLE UPON [EXERCISE] [CONVERSION] OF THIS SECURITY] MAY BE PLEDGED IN CONNECTION WITH A BONA FIDE MARGIN ACCOUNT WITH A REGISTERED BROKER-DEALER OR OTHER LOAN WITH A FINANCIAL INSTITUTION THAT IS AN “ACCREDITED INVESTOR” AS DEFINED IN RULE 501(a) UNDER THE SECURITIES ACT OR OTHER LOAN SECURED BY SUCH SECURITIES.

 

(c) Pledge . The Company acknowledges and agrees that a Purchaser may from time to time pledge pursuant to a bona fide margin agreement with a registered broker-dealer or grant a security interest in some or all of the Securities to a financial institution that is an “accredited investor” as defined in Rule 501(a) under the Securities Act and who agrees to be bound by the provisions of this Agreement and, if required under the terms of such arrangement, such Purchaser may transfer pledge or secure Securities to the pledgees or secured parties. Such a pledge or transfer would not be subject to approval of the Company and no legal opinion of legal counsel of the pledgee, secured party or pledgor shall be required in connection therewith. At such Purchaser’s expense, the Company will execute and deliver such reasonable documentation as a pledgee or secured party of Securities may reasonably request in connection with a pledge or transfer of the Securities, including, if the Securities are subject to registration pursuant to the registration statement, the preparation and filing of any required prospectus supplement under Rule 424(b)(3) under the Securities Act or other applicable provision of the Securities Act to appropriately amend the list of selling stockholders thereunder.

 

16
 

 

(d) Legend Removal . Certificates evidencing the Underlying Shares shall not contain any legend (“ Unlegended Shares ”) (including the legend set forth in Section 4.1(b) hereof): (i) while a registration statement covering the resale of such security is effective under the Securities Act, (ii) following any sale of such Underlying Shares pursuant to Rule 144, (iii) if such Underlying Shares are eligible for sale under Rule 144, without the requirement for the Company to be in compliance with the current public information required under Rule 144 as to such Underlying Shares and without volume or manner-of-sale restrictions or (iv) if such legend is not required under applicable requirements of the Securities Act (including judicial interpretations and pronouncements issued by the staff of the Commission). The Company shall cause its counsel to issue a legal opinion to the Transfer Agent during the time any of the aforedescribed conditions apply, to effect the removal of the legend hereunder. If all or any Notes are converted or any portion of a Warrant is exercised at a time when there is an effective registration statement to cover the resale of the corresponding Underlying Shares, or if such Underlying Shares may be sold under Rule 144 or if such legend is not otherwise required under applicable requirements of the Securities Act (including judicial interpretations and pronouncements issued by the staff of the Commission) then such Underlying Shares shall be issued free of all legends. The Company agrees that following such time as such legend is no longer required under this Section 4.1(d), it will, no later than five Trading Days following the delivery by the Purchaser to the Company or the Transfer Agent of a certificate representing Underlying Shares, as applicable, issued with a restrictive legend (such fifth Trading Day, the “ Legend Removal Date ”), deliver or cause to be delivered to such Purchaser a certificate representing such shares that is free from all restrictive and other legends (however, the Corporation shall use reasonable best efforts to deliver such shares within three (3) Trading Days). The Company may not make any notation on its records or give instructions to the Transfer Agent that enlarge the restrictions on transfer set forth in this Section 4.1. Certificates for Underlying Shares subject to legend removal hereunder shall be transmitted by the Transfer Agent to the Purchaser by crediting the account of the Purchaser’s prime broker with the Depository Trust Company System as directed by such Purchaser.

 

(e) Legend Removal Default . In addition to such Purchaser’s other available remedies, provided the conditions for legend removal set forth in Section 4.1(c) exist, the Company shall pay to a Purchaser, in cash, as partial liquidated damages and not as a penalty, for each $1,000 of Underlying Shares (based on the higher of the actual purchase price of the Common Stock on the date such Securities are submitted to the Transfer Agent) delivered for removal of the restrictive legend and subject to Section 4.1(d), $10 per Trading Day for each Trading Day after the Legend Removal Date until such certificate is delivered without a legend. Nothing herein shall limit such Purchaser’s right to pursue actual damages for the Company’s failure to deliver certificates representing any Securities as required by the Transaction Documents, and such Purchaser shall have the right to pursue all remedies available to it at law or in equity including, without limitation, a decree of specific performance and/or injunctive relief.

 

(f) DWAC . Commencing after the Closing, in lieu of delivering physical certificates representing the Unlegended Shares, upon request of a Purchaser, so long as the certificates therefor do not bear a legend and the Purchaser is not obligated to return such certificate for the placement of a legend thereon, the Company shall cause its transfer agent to electronically transmit the Unlegended Shares by crediting the account of Purchaser’s prime broker with the Depository Trust Company through its Deposit Withdrawal At Custodian system, provided that the Company’s Common Stock is DTC eligible and the Company’s transfer agent participates in the Deposit Withdrawal at Custodian system. Such delivery must be made on or before the Legend Removal Date.

 

17
 

 

(g) Resale Requirements . Each Purchaser, severally and not jointly with the other Purchasers, agrees with the Company that such Purchaser will sell the Securities pursuant to either the registration requirements of the Securities Act, including any applicable prospectus delivery requirements, or an exemption therefrom, and that if Securities are sold pursuant to a registration statement, they will be sold in compliance with the plan of distribution set forth therein, and acknowledges that the removal of the restrictive legend from certificates representing Securities as set forth in this Section 4.1 is predicated upon the Company’s reliance upon this understanding.

 

(h) Remedies . In addition to such Purchaser’s other available remedies, the Company shall pay to a Purchaser, in cash, as partial liquidated damages and not as a penalty, for each $1,000 of Conversion Shares or Warrant Shares delivered for removal of the restrictive legend and Conversion Shares delivered for conversion into Shares, $10 per Trading Day for each Trading Day following the Legend Removal Date or the date such Securities are to be delivered pursuant to the Note until such Common Stock certificate is delivered without a legend pursuant to Section 4.1(c) or such Conversion Shares. Nothing herein shall limit such Purchaser’s right to elect in lieu of the aforedescribed liquidated damages to pursue actual damages for the Company’s failure to deliver certificates representing any Underlying Shares as required by the Transaction Documents, and such Purchaser shall have the right to pursue all remedies available to it at law or in equity including, without limitation, a decree of specific performance and/or injunctive relief.

 

(i) Injunction . In the event a Purchaser shall request delivery of Securities as described in this Section 4.1 or Common Stock pursuant to the Note and the Company is required to deliver such Securities, the Company may not refuse to deliver Securities based on any claim that such Purchaser or anyone associated or affiliated with such Purchaser has not complied with Purchaser’s obligations under the Transaction Documents, or for any other reason, unless, an injunction or temporary restraining order from a court, on notice, restraining and or enjoining delivery of such unlegended shares shall have been sought and obtained by the Company and the Company has posted a surety bond for the benefit of such Purchaser in the amount of 120% of the amount of the aggregate purchase price of the Securities intended to be subject to the injunction or temporary restraining order, which bond shall remain in effect until the completion of arbitration/litigation of the dispute and the proceeds of which shall be payable to such Purchaser to the extent Purchaser obtains judgment in Purchaser’s favor.

 

(j) Buy-In . In addition to any other rights available to Purchaser, if the Company fails to deliver to a Purchaser Securities as required pursuant to this Agreement or the Note and after the Legend Removal Date or required delivery date pursuant to the Note the Purchaser, or a broker on the Purchaser’s behalf, purchases (in an open market transaction or otherwise) shares of Common Stock to deliver in satisfaction of a sale by such Purchaser of the shares of Common Stock which the Purchaser was entitled to receive in unlegended form from the Company (a “ Buy-In ”), then the Company shall promptly pay in cash to the Purchaser (in addition to any remedies available to or elected by the Purchaser) the amount, if any, by which (A) the Purchaser’s total purchase price (including brokerage commissions, if any) for the shares of Common Stock so purchased exceeds (B) the aggregate purchase price of the shares of Common Stock delivered to the Company for reissuance as unlegended Shares or as are required to be delivered pursuant to the Note, as the case may be, together with interest thereon at a rate of 15% per annum accruing until such amount and any accrued interest thereon is paid in full (which amount shall be paid as liquidated damages and not as a penalty). For example, if a Purchaser purchases shares of Common Stock having a total purchase price of $11,000 to cover a Buy-In with respect to $10,000 of purchase price of Shares delivered to the Company for reissuance as unlegended shares, the Company shall be required to pay the Purchaser $1,000, plus interest, if any. The Purchaser shall provide the Company written notice indicating the amounts payable to the Purchaser in respect of the Buy-In.

 

18
 

 

4.2 Acknowledgment of Dilution . The Company acknowledges that the issuance of the Securities may result in dilution of the outstanding shares of Common Stock, which dilution may be substantial under certain market conditions. The Company further acknowledges that its obligations under the Transaction Documents, including, without limitation, its obligation to issue the Underlying Shares pursuant to the Transaction Documents, are unconditional and absolute and not subject to any right of set off, counterclaim, delay or reduction, regardless of the effect of any such dilution or any claim the Company may have against any Purchaser and regardless of the dilutive effect that such issuance may have on the ownership of the other stockholders of the Company.

(b) At any time commencing on the Closing Date and ending at such time that all of the Securities may be sold without the requirement for the Company to be in compliance with Rule 144(c)(1) and otherwise without restriction or limitation pursuant to Rule 144, if the Company shall fail for any reason to satisfy the current public information requirement under Rule 144(c) (a “Public Information Failure”) then, in addition to such Purchaser’s other available remedies, the Company shall pay to a Purchaser, in cash, as partial liquidated damages and not as a penalty, by reason of any such delay in or reduction of its ability to sell the Securities, an amount in cash equal to two percent (2.0%) of the aggregate principal amount of Notes and accrued interest held by such Purchaser on the day of a Public Information Failure and on every thirtieth (30th) day (pro-rated for periods totaling less than thirty days) thereafter until the earlier of (a) the date such Public Information Failure is cured and (b) such time that such public information is no longer required for the Purchasers to transfer the Underlying Shares pursuant to Rule 144. The payments to which a Purchaser shall be entitled pursuant to this Section 4.2(b) are referred to herein as “Public Information Failure Payments.” Public Information Failure Payments shall be paid on the earlier of (i) the last day of the calendar month during which such Public Information Failure Payments are incurred and (ii) the third (3rd) Business Day after the event or failure giving rise to the Public Information Failure Payments is cured.

Any Purchaser Party shall have the right to employ separate counsel in any such action and participate in the defense thereof, but the fees and expenses of such counsel shall be at the expense of such Purchaser Party except to the extent that (i) the employment thereof has been specifically authorized by the Company in writing, (ii) the Company has failed after a reasonable period of time to assume such defense and to employ counsel or (iii) in such action there is, in the reasonable opinion of counsel, a material conflict on any material issue between the position of the Company and the position of such Purchaser Party, in which case the Company shall be responsible for the reasonable fees and expenses of no more than one such separate counsel. The Company will not be liable to any Purchaser Party under this Agreement (y) for any settlement by a Purchaser Party effected without the Company’s prior written consent, which shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed; or (z) to the extent, but only to the extent that a loss, claim, damage or liability is attributable to any Purchaser Party’s breach of its representations, warranties or covenants under the Transaction Documents. The indemnification required by this Section 4.6 shall be made by periodic payments of the amount thereof during the course of the investigation or defense, as and when bills are received or are incurred. The indemnity agreements contained herein shall be in addition to any cause of action or similar right of any Purchaser Party against the Company or others and any liabilities the Company may be subject to pursuant to law.

 

4.13 Form D; Blue Sky Filings . The Company agrees to timely file a Form D with respect to the Securities as required under Regulation D and to provide a copy thereof, promptly upon request of any Purchaser. The Company shall take such action as the Company shall reasonably determine is necessary in order to obtain an exemption for, or to qualify the Securities for, sale to the Purchasers at the Closing under applicable securities or “Blue Sky” laws of the states of the United States, and shall provide evidence of such actions promptly upon request of any Purchaser.

 

21
 

 

4.14 Most Favored Nation Provision . From the date hereof and for so long as a Purchaser holds any Securities, in the event that the Company issues or sells any Common Stock or Common Stock Equivalents, if a Purchaser then holding outstanding Securities reasonably believes that any of the terms and conditions appurtenant to such issuance or sale are more favorable to such investors than are the terms and conditions granted to the Purchasers hereunder, upon notice to the Company by such Purchaser, the Company shall amend the terms of this transaction as to such Purchaser only so as to give such Purchaser the benefit of such more favorable terms or conditions. This Section shall not apply with respect to an Exempt Issuance. The Company shall provide each Purchaser with notice of any such issuance or sale not later than ten (10) Trading Days before such issuance or sale.

 

4.15 Preservation of Corporate Existence . Until the End Date, the Company shall preserve and maintain its corporate existence, rights, privileges and franchises in the jurisdiction of its incorporation, and qualify and remain qualified, as a foreign corporation in each jurisdiction in which such qualification is necessary in view of its business or operations and where the failure to qualify or remain qualified might reasonably have a Material Adverse Effect upon the financial condition, business or operations of the Company taken as a whole.

 

4.16 Shareholder Rights Plan . No claim will be made or enforced by the Company or, with the consent of the Company, any other Person, that any Purchaser is an “ Acquiring Person ” under any control share acquisition, business combination, poison pill (including any distribution under a rights agreement) or similar anti-takeover plan or arrangement in effect or hereafter adopted by the Company, or that any Purchaser could be deemed to trigger the provisions of any such plan or arrangement, by virtue of receiving Securities under the Transaction Documents.

 

4.17 Piggy-Back Registrations . If at any time until two years after the Closing Date there is not an effective registration statement covering all of the Conversion Shares and the Company shall determine to prepare and file with the Commission a registration statement relating to an offering for its own account or the account of others under the 1933 Act of any of its equity securities, but excluding Forms S-4 or S-8 and similar forms which do not permit such registration, then the Company shall send to each holder of any of the Securities written notice of such determination and, if within fifteen calendar days after receipt of such notice, any such holder shall so request in writing, the Company shall include in such registration statement all or any part of the Conversion Shares such holder requests to be registered, subject to customary underwriter cutbacks applicable to all holders of registration rights and any cutbacks in accordance with guidance provided by the Securities and Exchange Commission (including, but not limited to, Rule 415). The obligations of the Company under this Section may be waived by any holder of any of the Securities entitled to registration rights under this Section. The holders whose Conversion Shares are included or required to be included in such registration statement are granted the same rights, benefits, liquidated or other damages and indemnification granted to other holders of securities included in such registration statement. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, the registration rights granted hereunder to the holders of Securities shall not be applicable for such times as such Conversion Shares may be sold by the holder thereof without restriction pursuant to Section 144(b)(1) of the 1933 Act. In no event shall the liability of any holder of Securities or permitted successor in connection with any Conversion Shares included in any such registration statement be greater in amount than the dollar amount of the net proceeds actually received by such Subscriber upon the sale of the Conversion Shares sold pursuant to such registration or such lesser amount in proportion to all other holders of Securities included in such registration statement. All expenses incurred by the Company in complying with this Section, including, without limitation, all registration and filing fees, printing expenses (if required), fees and disbursements of counsel and independent public accountants for the Company, fees and expenses (including reasonable counsel fees) incurred in connection with complying with state securities or “blue sky” laws, fees of the NASD, transfer taxes, and fees of transfer agents and registrars, are called “Registration Expenses.” All underwriting discounts and selling commissions applicable to the sale of registrable securities are called “Selling Expenses.” The Company will pay all Registration Expenses in connection with the registration statement under this Section. Selling Expenses in connection with each registration statement under this Section shall be borne by the holder and will be apportioned among such holders in proportion to the number of Shares included therein for a holder relative to all the Securities included therein for all selling holders, or as all holders may agree.

 

22
 

 

4.18 Subsequent Equity Sales . From the date hereof until the Notes are no longer outstanding, the Company will not, without the consent of the Purchasers, enter into any Equity Line of Credit or similar agreement nor issue nor agree to issue any common stock at a per share price less than the then in effect Conversion Price, floating or Variable Priced Equity Linked Instruments nor any of the foregoing or equity with price reset rights (subject to adjustment for stock splits, distributions, dividends, recapitalizations and the like) (collectively, the “Variable Rate Transaction”). For purposes hereof, “Equity Line of Credit” shall include any transaction involving a written agreement between the Company and an investor or underwriter whereby the Company has the right to “put” its securities to the investor or underwriter over an agreed period of time and at an agreed price or price formula, and “Variable Priced Equity Linked Instruments” shall include: (A) any debt or equity securities which are convertible into, exercisable or exchangeable for, or carry the right to receive additional shares of Common Stock either (1) at any conversion, exercise or exchange rate or other price that is based upon and/or varies with the trading prices of or quotations for Common Stock at any time after the initial issuance of such debt or equity security, or (2) with a fixed conversion, exercise or exchange price that is subject to being reset at some future date at any time after the initial issuance of such debt or equity security due to a change in the market price of the Company’s Common Stock since date of initial issuance, and (B) any amortizing convertible security which amortizes prior to its maturity date, where the Company is required or has the option to (or any investor in such transaction has the option to require the Company to) make such amortization payments in shares of Common Stock which are valued at a price that is based upon and/or varies with the trading prices of or quotations for Common Stock at any time after the initial issuance of such debt or equity security (whether or not such payments in stock are subject to certain equity conditions). For purposes of determining the total consideration for a convertible instrument (including a right to purchase equity of the Company) issued, subject to an original issue or similar discount or which principal amount is directly or indirectly increased after issuance, the consideration will be deemed to be the actual net cash amount received by the Company in consideration of the original issuance of such convertible instrument. Until thirty-six (36) months after the Closing Date, the Company will not issue any Common Stock or Common Stock Equivalents to officers, directors, employees, consultants and service providers of the Company except consistent with past practices. For so long as the Notes are outstanding, the Company will not amend the terms of any securities or Common Stock Equivalents or of any agreement outstanding or in effect as of the date of this Agreement or at any time thereafter, pursuant to which same were or may be acquired, if such issuance or the result of such amendment would be at an effective price per share of Common Stock less than the Conversion Price in effect at the time of such amendment.

 

4.19 Registered Stock. The Company shall, no later than 60 days after the Closing Date register for resale of a form S-1, 5,000,000 Conversion Shares for the Note issued hereunder, and the previous note issued by the Company to the Purchaser. No Warrant Shares shall be registered for resale.

COMMON STOCK PURCHASE WARRANT

 

SYLIOS CORP

 

Warrant Shares: 220,000 Issuance Date: June 5, 2019

 

THIS COMMON STOCK PURCHASE WARRANT (the “ Warrant ”) certifies that, for value received Armada Investment Fund, LLC or its registered assigns (the “Holder”), with an address at: 7703 Springfield Lake Drive, Lake Worth, FL 33467, or its assigns (the “ Holder ”) is entitled, upon the terms and subject to the limitations on exercise and the conditions hereinafter set forth, at any time on or after the date hereof (the “ Initial Exercise Date ”) and on or prior to the close of business on the fifth anniversary of the Issuance Date (the “ Termination Date ”) but not thereafter, to subscribe for and purchase from Sylios Corp., a Florida corporation (the “ Company ”), up to 220,000 shares (as subject to adjustment hereunder, the “ Warrant Shares ”) of Common Stock. The purchase price of one share of Common Stock under this Warrant shall be equal to the Exercise Price, as defined in Section 2(b).

 

Section 1 . Definitions . Capitalized terms used and not otherwise defined herein shall have the meanings set forth in that certain Securities Purchase Agreement (the “ Purchase Agreement ”), dated June 5, 2019, among the Company and the purchasers signatory thereto and the note issued to the Holder contemporaneously with this Warrant (the “ Note ”).

 

Section 2 . Exercise .

 

(a) Exercise of the purchase rights represented by this Warrant may be made, in whole or in part, at any time or times on or after the Initial Exercise Date and on or before the Termination Date by delivery to the Company (or such other office or agency of the Company as it may designate by notice in writing to the registered Holder at the address of the Holder appearing on the books of the Company) of a duly executed facsimile copy of the Notice of Exercise Form annexed hereto. Within two (2) Trading Days following the date of exercise as aforesaid, the Holder shall deliver the aggregate Exercise Price for the shares specified in the applicable Notice of Exercise by wire transfer or cashier’s check drawn on a United States bank unless the cashless exercise procedure specified in Section 2(c) below is specified in the applicable Notice of Exercise. Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary (although the Holder may surrender the Warrant to, and receive a replacement Warrant from, the Company), the Holder shall not be required to physically surrender this Warrant to the Company until the Holder has purchased all of the Warrant Shares available hereunder and the Warrant has been exercised in full, in which case, the Holder shall surrender this Warrant to the Company for cancellation within three (3) Trading Days of the date the final Notice of Exercise is delivered to the Company. Partial exercises of this Warrant resulting in purchases of a portion of the total number of Warrant Shares available hereunder shall have the effect of lowering the outstanding number of Warrant Shares purchasable hereunder in an amount equal to the applicable number of Warrant Shares purchased. The Holder and the Company shall maintain records showing the number of Warrant Shares purchased and the date of such purchases. The Company shall deliver any objection to any Notice of Exercise Form within one (1) Trading Day of delivery of such notice. The Holder and any assignee, by acceptance of this Warrant, acknowledge and agree that, by reason of the provisions of this paragraph, following the purchase of a portion of the Warrant Shares hereunder, the number of Warrant Shares available for purchase hereunder at any given time may be less than the amount stated on the face hereof.

 

  1  
 

 

(b) Exercise Price . The exercise price per share of the Common Stock under this Warrant shall be $0.075, subject to adjustment as described herein (“ Exercise Price ”).

 

(c) Cashless Exercise . If at any time after the Initial Exercise Date, there is no effective registration statement registering the Warrant Shares, or no current prospectus available for the resale of the Warrant Shares by the Holder, then this Warrant may also be exercised at the Holder’s election, in whole or in part, at such time by means of a “cashless exercise” in which the Holder shall be entitled to receive a number of Warrant Shares equal to the quotient obtained by dividing [(A-B) (X)] by (A), where:

 

  (A) = the VWAP on the Trading Day immediately preceding the date on which Holder elects to exercise this Warrant by means of a “cashless exercise,” as set forth in the applicable Notice of Exercise;

 

  (B) = the Exercise Price of this Warrant, as adjusted hereunder; and

 

  (X) = the number of Warrant Shares that would be issuable upon exercise of this Warrant in accordance with the terms of this Warrant if such exercise were by means of a cash exercise rather than a cashless exercise.

(d) Mechanics of Exercise .

 

(i) Delivery of Certificates Upon Exercise . Certificates for shares purchased hereunder shall be transmitted by the Transfer Agent to the Holder by crediting the account of the Holder’s prime broker with The Depository Trust Company through its Deposit or Withdrawal at Custodian system (“ DWAC ”) if the Company is then a participant in such system and either (A) there is an effective registration statement permitting the issuance of the Warrant Shares to or resale of the Warrant Shares by the Holder or (B) this Warrant is being exercised via cashless exercise and Rule 144 is available, and otherwise by physical delivery to the address specified by the Holder in the Notice of Exercise by the date that is three (3) Trading Days after the latest of (A) the delivery to the Company of the Notice of Exercise, (B) surrender of this Warrant (if required) and (C) payment of the aggregate Exercise Price as set forth above (including by cashless exercise, if permitted) (such date, the “ Warrant Share Delivery Date ”). The Warrant Shares shall be deemed to have been issued, and Holder or any other person so designated to be named therein shall be deemed to have become a holder of record of such shares for all purposes, as of the date the Warrant has been exercised, with payment to the Company of the Exercise Price (or by cashless exercise, if permitted) and all taxes required to be paid by the Holder, if any, pursuant to Section 2(d)(vi) prior to the issuance of such shares, having been paid. The Company understands that a delay in the delivery of the Warrant Shares after the Warrant Share Delivery Date could result in economic loss to the Holder. As compensation to the Holder for such loss, the Company agrees to pay (as liquidated damages and not as a penalty) to the Holder for late issuance of Warrant Shares upon exercise of this Warrant the proportionate amount of $10 per Trading Day (increasing to $20 per Trading Day after the fifth (5 th ) Trading Day) after the Warrant Share Delivery Date for each $1,000 of Exercise Price of Warrant Shares for which this Warrant is exercised which are not timely delivered. The Company shall pay any payments incurred under this Section in immediately available funds upon demand. Furthermore, in addition to any other remedies which may be available to the Holder, in the event that the Company fails for any reason to effect delivery of the Warrant Shares by the Warrant Share Delivery Date, the Holder may revoke all or part of the relevant Warrant exercise by delivery of a notice to such effect to the Company, whereupon the Company and the Holder shall each be restored to their respective positions immediately prior to the exercise of the relevant portion of this Warrant, except that the liquidated damages described above shall be payable through the date notice of revocation or rescission is given to the Company.

 

(ii) Delivery of New Warrants Upon Exercise . If this Warrant shall have been exercised in part, the Company shall, at the request of a Holder and upon surrender of this Warrant certificate, at the time of delivery of the certificate or certificates representing Warrant Shares, deliver to the Holder a new Warrant evidencing the rights of the Holder to purchase the unpurchased Warrant Shares called for by this Warrant, which new Warrant shall in all other respects be identical with this Warrant.

 

(iii) Rescission Rights . If the Company fails to cause the Transfer Agent to transmit to the Holder a certificate or the certificates representing the Warrant Shares pursuant to Section 2(d)(i) by the Warrant Share Delivery Date, then the Holder will have the right, at any time prior to issuance of such Warrant Shares, to rescind such exercise.

(iv) Compensation for Buy-In on Failure to Timely Deliver Certificates Upon Exercise . In addition to any other rights available to the Holder, if the Company fails to cause the Transfer Agent to transmit to the Holder a certificate or the certificates representing the Warrant Shares pursuant to an exercise on or before the Warrant Share Delivery Date, and if after such date the Holder is required by its broker to purchase (in an open market transaction or otherwise) or the Holder’s brokerage firm otherwise purchases, shares of Common Stock to deliver in satisfaction of a sale by the Holder of the Warrant Shares which the Holder anticipated receiving upon such exercise (a “ Buy-In ”), then the Company shall (A) pay in cash to the Holder the amount, if any, by which (x) the Holder’s total purchase price (including brokerage commissions, if any) for the shares of Common Stock so purchased exceeds (y) the amount obtained by multiplying (1) the number of Warrant Shares that the Company was required to deliver to the Holder in connection with the exercise at issue times (2) the price at which the sell order giving rise to such purchase obligation was executed, and (B) at the option of the Holder, either reinstate the portion of the Warrant and equivalent number of Warrant Shares for which such exercise was not honored (in which case such exercise shall be deemed rescinded) or deliver to the Holder the number of shares of Common Stock that would have been issued had the Company timely complied with its exercise and delivery obligations hereunder. For example, if the Holder purchases Common Stock having a total purchase price of $11,000 to cover a Buy-In with respect to an attempted exercise of shares of Common Stock with an aggregate sale price giving rise to such purchase obligation of $10,000, under clause (A) of the immediately preceding sentence the Company shall be required to pay the Holder $1,000. The Holder shall provide the Company written notice indicating the amounts payable to the Holder in respect of the Buy-In and, upon request of the Company, evidence of the amount of such loss. Nothing herein shall limit a Holder’s right to pursue any other remedies available to it hereunder, at law or in equity including, without limitation, a decree of specific performance and/or injunctive relief with respect to the Company’s failure to timely deliver certificates representing shares of Common Stock upon exercise of the Warrant as required pursuant to the terms hereof.

 

(v) No Fractional Shares or Scrip . No fractional shares or scrip representing fractional shares shall be issued upon the exercise of this Warrant. As to any fraction of a share which the Holder would otherwise be entitled to purchase upon such exercise, the Company shall, at its election, either pay a cash adjustment in respect of such final fraction in an amount equal to such fraction multiplied by the Exercise Price or round up to the next whole share.

 

(vi) Charges, Taxes and Expenses . Issuance of certificates for Warrant Shares shall be made without charge to the Holder for any issue or transfer tax or other incidental expense in respect of the issuance of such certificate, all of which taxes and expenses shall be paid by the Company, and such certificates shall be issued in the name of the Holder or in such name or names as may be directed by the Holder; provided , however , that in the event certificates for Warrant Shares are to be issued in a name other than the name of the Holder, this Warrant when surrendered for exercise shall be accompanied by the Assignment Form attached hereto duly executed by the Holder and the Company may require, as a condition thereto, the payment of a sum sufficient to reimburse it for any transfer tax incidental thereto. The Company shall pay all Transfer Agent fees required for same-day processing of any Notice of Exercise.

 

(vii) Closing of Books . The Company will not close its stockholder books or records in any manner which prevents the timely exercise of this Warrant, pursuant to the terms hereof.

(e) Holder’s Exercise Limitations . the Company shall not effect any exercise of this Warrant, and a Holder shall not have the right to exercise any portion of this Warrant, pursuant to Section 2 or otherwise, to the extent that after giving effect to such issuance after exercise as set forth on the applicable Notice of Exercise, the Holder (together with the Holder’s Affiliates, and any other Persons acting as a group together with the Holder or any of the Holder’s Affiliates), would beneficially own in excess of the Beneficial Ownership Limitation (as defined below). For purposes of the foregoing sentence, the number of shares of Common Stock beneficially owned by the Holder and its Affiliates shall include the number of shares of Common Stock issuable upon exercise of this Warrant with respect to which such determination is being made, but shall exclude the number of shares of Common Stock which would be issuable upon (i) exercise of the remaining, nonexercised portion of this Warrant beneficially owned by the Holder or any of its Affiliates and (ii) exercise or conversion of the unexercised or nonconverted portion of any other securities of the Company (including, without limitation, any other Common Stock Equivalents) subject to a limitation on conversion or exercise analogous to the limitation contained herein beneficially owned by the Holder or any of its Affiliates. Except as set forth in the preceding sentence, for purposes of this Section 2(e), beneficial ownership shall be calculated in accordance with Section 13(d) of the Exchange Act and the rules and regulations promulgated thereunder, it being acknowledged by the Holder that the Company is not representing to the Holder that such calculation is in compliance with Section 13(d) of the Exchange Act and the Holder is solely responsible for any schedules required to be filed in accordance therewith. To the extent that the limitation contained in this Section 2(e) applies, the determination of whether this Warrant is exercisable (in relation to other securities owned by the Holder together with any Affiliates) and of which portion of this Warrant is exercisable shall be in the sole discretion of the Holder, and the submission of a Notice of Exercise shall be deemed to be the Holder’s determination of whether this Warrant is exercisable (in relation to other securities owned by the Holder together with any Affiliates) and of which portion of this Warrant is exercisable, in each case subject to the Beneficial Ownership Limitation, and the Company shall have no obligation to verify or confirm the accuracy of such determination. In addition, a determination as to any group status as contemplated above shall be determined in accordance with Section 13(d) of the Exchange Act and the rules and regulations promulgated thereunder. For purposes of this Section 2(e), in determining the number of outstanding shares of Common Stock, a Holder may rely on the number of outstanding shares of Common Stock as reflected in (A) the Company’s most recent periodic or annual report filed with the Commission, as the case may be, (B) a more recent public announcement by the Company or (C) a more recent written notice by the Company or the Transfer Agent setting forth the number of shares of Common Stock outstanding. Upon the written or oral request of a Holder, the Company shall within two Trading Days confirm orally and in writing to the Holder the number of shares of Common Stock then outstanding. In any case, the number of outstanding shares of Common Stock shall be determined after giving effect to the conversion or exercise of securities of the Company, including this Warrant, by the Holder or its Affiliates since the date as of which such number of outstanding shares of Common Stock was reported. The “ Beneficial Ownership Limitation ” shall be 4.99% of the number of shares of the Common Stock outstanding immediately after giving effect to the issuance of shares of Common Stock issuable upon exercise of this Warrant. The Holder may decrease the Beneficial Ownership Limitation at any time and the Holder, upon not less than 61 days’ prior notice to the Company, may increase the Beneficial Ownership Limitation provisions of this Section 2(e), provided that the Beneficial Ownership Limitation in no event exceeds 9.99% of the number of shares of the Common Stock outstanding immediately after giving effect to the issuance of shares of Common Stock upon exercise of this Warrant held by the Holder and the provisions of this Section 2(e) shall continue to apply. Any such increase will not be effective until the 61 st day after such notice is delivered to the Company. The provisions of this paragraph shall be construed and implemented in a manner otherwise than in strict conformity with the terms of this Section 2(e) to correct this paragraph (or any portion hereof) which may be defective or inconsistent with the intended Beneficial Ownership Limitation herein contained or to make changes or supplements necessary or desirable to properly give effect to such limitation. The limitations contained in this paragraph shall apply to a successor holder of this Warrant.

Section 3 . Certain Adjustments .

 

(a) Stock Dividends and Splits . If the Company, at any time while this Warrant is outstanding: (i) pays a stock dividend or otherwise makes a distribution or distributions on shares of its Common Stock or any other equity or equity equivalent securities payable in shares of Common Stock (which, for avoidance of doubt, shall not include any shares of Common Stock issued by the Company upon exercise of this Warrant or pursuant to any of the other Transaction Documents), (ii) subdivides outstanding shares of Common Stock into a larger number of shares, (iii) combines (including by way of reverse stock split) outstanding shares of Common Stock into a smaller number of shares, or (iv) issues by reclassification of shares of the Common Stock any shares of capital stock of the Company, then in each case the Exercise Price shall be multiplied by a fraction of which the numerator shall be the number of shares of Common Stock (excluding treasury shares, if any) outstanding immediately before such event and of which the denominator shall be the number of shares of Common Stock outstanding immediately after such event, and the number of shares issuable upon exercise of this Warrant shall be proportionately adjusted such that the aggregate Exercise Price of this Warrant shall remain unchanged. Any adjustment made pursuant to this Section 3(a) shall become effective immediately after the record date for the determination of stockholders entitled to receive such dividend or distribution and shall become effective immediately after the effective date in the case of a subdivision, combination or re-classification.

 

(b) Pro Rata Distributions . If the Company, at any time while this Warrant is outstanding, shall distribute to all holders of Common Stock (and not to the Holder) evidences of its indebtedness or assets (including cash and cash dividends) or rights or warrants to subscribe for or purchase any security other than the Common Stock (which shall be subject to Section 3(c)), then in each such case the Exercise Price shall be adjusted by multiplying the Exercise Price in effect immediately prior to the record date fixed for determination of stockholders entitled to receive such distribution by a fraction of which the denominator shall be the VWAP determined as of the record date mentioned above, and of which the numerator shall be such VWAP on such record date less the then per share fair market value at such record date of the portion of such assets or evidence of indebtedness so distributed applicable to one outstanding share of the Common Stock as determined by the Board of Directors in good faith. In either case the adjustments shall be described in a statement provided to the Holder of the portion of assets or evidences of indebtedness so distributed or such subscription rights applicable to one share of Common Stock. Such adjustment shall be made whenever any such distribution is made and shall become effective immediately after the record date mentioned above.

(c) Fundamental Transaction . If, at any time while this Warrant is outstanding, (i) the Company, directly or indirectly, in one or more related transactions effects any merger or consolidation of the Company with or into another Person, (ii) the Company, directly or indirectly, effects any sale, lease, license, assignment, transfer, conveyance or other disposition of all or substantially all of its assets in one or a series of related transactions, (iii) any, direct or indirect, purchase offer, tender offer or exchange offer (whether by the Company or another Person) is completed pursuant to which holders of Common Stock are permitted to sell, tender or exchange their shares for other securities, cash or property and has been accepted by the holders of 50% or more of the outstanding Common Stock, (iv) the Company, directly or indirectly, in one or more related transactions effects any reclassification, reorganization or recapitalization of the Common Stock or any compulsory share exchange pursuant to which the Common Stock is effectively converted into or exchanged for other securities, cash or property, or (v) the Company, directly or indirectly, in one or more related transactions consummates a stock or share purchase agreement or other business combination (including, without limitation, a reorganization, recapitalization, spin-off or scheme of arrangement) with another Person or group of Persons whereby such other Person or group acquires more than 50% of the outstanding shares of Common Stock (not including any shares of Common Stock held by the other Person or other Persons making or party to, or associated or affiliated with the other Persons making or party to, such stock or share purchase agreement or other business combination) (each a “ Fundamental Transaction ”), then, upon any subsequent exercise of this Warrant, the Holder shall have the right to receive, for each Warrant Share that would have been issuable upon such exercise immediately prior to the occurrence of such Fundamental Transaction, at the option of the Holder (without regard to any limitation in Section 2(e) on the exercise of this Warrant), the number of shares of Common Stock of the successor or acquiring corporation or of the Company, if it is the surviving corporation, and any additional consideration (the “ Alternate Consideration ”) receivable as a result of such Fundamental Transaction by a holder of the number of shares of Common Stock for which this Warrant is exercisable immediately prior to such Fundamental Transaction (without regard to any limitation in Section 2(e) on the exercise of this Warrant). For purposes of any such exercise, the determination of the Exercise Price shall be appropriately adjusted to apply to such Alternate Consideration based on the amount of Alternate Consideration issuable in respect of one share of Common Stock in such Fundamental Transaction, and the Company shall apportion the Exercise Price among the Alternate Consideration in a reasonable manner reflecting the relative value of any different components of the Alternate Consideration. If holders of Common Stock are given any choice as to the securities, cash or property to be received in a Fundamental Transaction, then the Holder shall be given the same choice as to the Alternate Consideration it receives upon any exercise of this Warrant following such Fundamental Transaction. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary, in the event of a Fundamental Transaction, the Company or any Successor Entity (as defined below) shall, at the Holder’s option, exercisable at any time concurrently with, or within 30 days after, the consummation of the Fundamental Transaction, purchase this Warrant from the Holder by paying to the Holder an amount of cash equal to the Black Scholes Value of the remaining unexercised portion of this Warrant on the date of the consummation of such Fundamental Transaction. “ Black Scholes Value ” means the value of this Warrant based on the Black and Scholes Option Pricing Model obtained from the “OV” function on Bloomberg, L.P. (“ Bloomberg ”) determined as of the day of consummation of the applicable Fundamental Transaction for pricing purposes and reflecting (A) a risk-free interest rate corresponding to the U.S. Treasury rate for a period equal to the time between the date of the public announcement of the applicable Fundamental Transaction and the Termination Date, (B) an expected volatility equal to the greater of 100% and the 100 day volatility obtained from the HVT function on Bloomberg as of the Trading Day immediately following the public announcement of the applicable Fundamental Transaction, (C) the underlying price per share used in such calculation shall be the sum of the price per share being offered in cash, if any, plus the value of any non-cash consideration, if any, being offered in such Fundamental Transaction and (D) a remaining option time equal to the time between the date of the public announcement of the applicable Fundamental Transaction and the Termination Date. The Company shall cause any successor entity in a Fundamental Transaction in which the Company is not the survivor (the “ Successor Entity ”) to assume in writing all of the obligations of the Company under this Warrant and the other Transaction Documents in accordance with the provisions of this Section 3(e) pursuant to written agreements in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to the Holder and approved by the Holder (without unreasonable delay) prior to such Fundamental Transaction and shall, at the option of the Holder, deliver to the Holder in exchange for this Warrant a security of the Successor Entity evidenced by a written instrument substantially similar in form and substance to this Warrant which is exercisable for a corresponding number of shares of capital stock of such Successor Entity (or its parent entity) equivalent to the shares of Common Stock acquirable and receivable upon exercise of this Warrant (without regard to any limitations on the exercise of this Warrant) prior to such Fundamental Transaction, and with an exercise price which applies the exercise price hereunder to such shares of capital stock (but taking into account the relative value of the shares of Common Stock pursuant to such Fundamental Transaction and the value of such shares of capital stock, such number of shares of capital stock and such exercise price being for the purpose of protecting the economic value of this Warrant immediately prior to the consummation of such Fundamental Transaction), and which is reasonably satisfactory in form and substance to the Holder. Upon the occurrence of any such Fundamental Transaction, the Successor Entity shall succeed to, and be substituted for (so that from and after the date of such Fundamental Transaction, the provisions of this Warrant and the other Transaction Documents referring to the “Company” shall refer instead to the Successor Entity), and may exercise every right and power of the Company and shall assume all of the obligations of the Company under this Warrant and the other Transaction Documents with the same effect as if such Successor Entity had been named as the Company herein.

(d) Adjustment Upon Issuance of Shares of Common Stock . If and whenever on or after the date hereof, the Company issues or sells, or in accordance with this Section 3 is deemed to have issued or sold, any shares of Common Stock (including the issuance or sale of shares of Common Stock owned or held by or for the account of the Company, but excluding any Exempt Issuance issued or sold or deemed to have been issued or sold) for a consideration per share (the “ New Issuance Price ”) less than a price equal to the Exercise Price in effect immediately prior to such issue or sale or deemed issuance or sale (such Exercise Price then in effect is referred to as the “ Applicable Price ”) (the foregoing a “ Dilutive Issuance ”), then immediately after such Dilutive Issuance, the Exercise Price then in effect shall be reduced to the New Issuance Price. For all purposes of the foregoing (including, without limitation, determining the adjusted Exercise Price and consideration per share under this Section 3(e)), the following shall be applicable:

 

(i) Issuance of Options. If the Company in any manner grants or sells any options (other than options that qualify as Exempt Issuances) and the lowest price per share for which one share of Common Stock is issuable upon the exercise of any such option or upon conversion, exercise or exchange of any Common Stock Equivalents issuable upon exercise of any such option is less than the Applicable Price, then such share of Common Stock shall be deemed to be outstanding and to have been issued and sold by the Company at the time of the granting or sale of such option for such price per share. For purposes of this Section 3(e)(i), the “lowest price per share for which one share of Common Stock is issuable upon the exercise of any such options or upon conversion, exercise or exchange of any Common Stock Equivalents issuable upon exercise of any such option” shall be equal to (1) the lower of (x) the sum of the lowest amounts of consideration (if any) received or receivable by the Company with respect to any one share of Common Stock upon the granting or sale of such option, upon exercise of such option and upon conversion, exercise or exchange of any Common Stock Equivalent issuable upon exercise of such option and (y) the lowest exercise price set forth in such option for which one share of Common Stock is issuable upon the exercise of any such options or upon conversion, exercise or exchange of any Common Stock Equivalents issuable upon exercise of any such option minus (2) the sum of all amounts paid or payable to the holder of such option (or any other Person) upon the granting or sale of such option, upon exercise of such Option and upon conversion, exercise or exchange of any Common Stock Equivalent issuable upon exercise of such option plus the value of any other consideration received or receivable by, or benefit conferred on, the holder of such option (or any other Person). Except as contemplated below, no further adjustment of the Exercise Price shall be made upon the actual issuance of such shares of Common Stock or of such Common Stock Equivalents upon the exercise of such options or upon the actual issuance of such shares of Common Stock upon conversion, exercise or exchange of such Common Stock Equivalents.

 

(ii) Issuance of Common Stock Equivalents. If the Company in any manner issues or sells any Common Stock Equivalents (other than Common Stock Equivalents that qualify as Exempt Issuances) and the lowest price per share for which one share of Common Stock is issuable upon the conversion, exercise or exchange thereof is less than the Applicable Price, then such share of Common Stock shall be deemed to be outstanding and to have been issued and sold by the Company at the time of the issuance or sale of such Common Stock Equivalents for such price per share. For the purposes of this Section 3(e)(ii), the “lowest price per share for which one share of Common Stock is issuable upon the conversion, exercise or exchange thereof” shall be equal to (1) the lower of (x) the sum of the lowest amounts of consideration (if any) received or receivable by the Company with respect to one share of Common Stock upon the issuance or sale of the Common Stock Equivalent and upon conversion, exercise or exchange of such Common Stock Equivalent and (y) the lowest conversion price set forth in such Common Stock Equivalent for which one share of Common Stock is issuable upon conversion, exercise or exchange thereof minus (2) the sum of all amounts paid or payable to the holder of such Common Stock Equivalent (or any other Person) upon the issuance or sale of such Common Stock Equivalent plus the value of any other consideration received or receivable by, or benefit conferred on, the holder of such Common Stock Equivalent (or any other Person). Except as contemplated below, no further adjustment of the Exercise Price shall be made upon the actual issuance of such shares of Common Stock upon conversion, exercise or exchange of such Common Stock Equivalents, and if any such issue or sale of such Common Stock Equivalents is made upon exercise of any options for which adjustment of this Note has been or is to be made pursuant to other provisions of this Section 3(e), except as contemplated below, no further adjustment of the Exercise Price shall be made by reason of such issue or sale.

 

  8  
 

 

(iii) Change in Option Price or Rate of Conversion. If the purchase or exercise price provided for in any options, the additional consideration, if any, payable upon the issue, conversion, exercise or exchange of any Common Stock Equivalents, or the rate at which any Common Stock Equivalents are convertible into or exercisable or exchangeable for shares of Common Stock increases or decreases at any time, the Exercise Price in effect at the time of such increase or decrease shall be adjusted to the Exercise Price which would have been in effect at such time had such options or Common Stock Equivalents provided for such increased or decreased purchase price, additional consideration or increased or decreased conversion rate, as the case may be, at the time initially granted, issued or sold. For purposes of this Section 3(e)(iii), if the terms of any option or Common Stock Equivalent that was outstanding as of the date of issuance of this Note are increased or decreased in the manner described in the immediately preceding sentence, then such option or Common Stock Equivalent and the shares of Common Stock deemed issuable upon exercise, conversion or exchange thereof shall be deemed to have been issued as of the date of such increase or decrease. No adjustment pursuant to this Section 3(e) shall be made if such adjustment would result in an increase of the Exercise Price then in effect.

 

(iv) Calculation of Consideration Received. If any option and/or Common Stock Equivalent and/or Adjustment Right is issued in connection with the issuance or sale or deemed issuance or sale of any other securities of the Company (as determined by the Holder, the “Primary Security”, and such option and/or Common Stock Equivalent and/or Adjustment Right, the “Secondary Securities”), together comprising one integrated transaction, the consideration per share of Common Stock with respect to such Primary Security shall be deemed to be equal to the difference of (x) the lowest price per share for which one share of Common Stock was issued in such integrated transaction (or was deemed to be issued pursuant to Section 3(e)(i) or 3(e)(ii) above, as applicable) solely with respect to such Primary Security, minus (y) with respect to such Secondary Securities, the sum of (I) the Black Scholes Consideration Value of each such option, if any, (II) the fair market value (as determined by the Holder) or the Black Scholes Consideration Value, as applicable, of such Adjustment Right, if any, and (III) the fair market value (as determined by the Holder) of such Common Stock Equivalent, if any, in each case, as determined on a per share basis in accordance with this Section 3(e)(iv). If any shares of Common Stock, options or Common Stock Equivalents are issued or sold or deemed to have been issued or sold for cash, the consideration received therefor (for the purpose of determining the consideration paid for such Common Stock, option or Common Stock Equivalent, but not for the purpose of the calculation of the Black Scholes Consideration Value) will be deemed to be the net amount of consideration received by the Company therefor. If any shares of Common Stock, options or Common Stock Equivalents are issued or sold for a consideration other than cash (for the purpose of determining the consideration paid for such Common Stock, option or Common Stock Equivalent, but not for the purpose of the calculation of the Black Scholes Consideration Value), the amount of such consideration received by the Company will be the fair value of such consideration, except where such consideration consists of publicly traded securities, in which case the amount of consideration received by the Company for such securities will be the arithmetic average of the VWAPs of such security for each of the five (5) Trading Days immediately preceding the date of receipt. If any shares of Common Stock, options or Common Stock Equivalents are issued to the owners of the non-surviving entity in connection with any merger in which the Company is the surviving entity (for the purpose of determining the consideration paid for such Common Stock, option or Common Stock Equivalent, but not for the purpose of the calculation of the Black Scholes Consideration Value), the amount of consideration therefor will be deemed to be the fair value of such portion of the net assets and business of the non-surviving entity as is attributable to such shares of Common Stock, options or Common Stock Equivalents, as the case may be. The fair value of any consideration other than cash or publicly traded securities (for the purpose of determining the consideration paid for such Common Stock, option or Common Stock Equivalent, but not for the purpose of the calculation of the Black Scholes Consideration Value) will be determined jointly by the Company and the Holder. If such parties are unable to reach agreement within ten (10) days after the occurrence of an event requiring valuation (the “Valuation Event”), the fair value of such consideration will be determined within five (5) Trading Days after the tenth (10th) day following such Valuation Event by an independent, reputable appraiser jointly selected by the Company and the Holder. The determination of such appraiser shall be final and binding upon all parties absent manifest error and the fees and expenses of such appraiser shall be borne by the Company.

(e) Subsequent Rights Offerings . In addition to any adjustments pursuant to Section 3(a) above, if at any time the Company grants, issues or sells any Common Stock Equivalents or rights to purchase stock, warrants, securities or other property pro rata to the record holders of any class of shares of Common Stock (the “Purchase Rights”), then the Holder will be entitled to acquire, upon the terms applicable to such Purchase Rights, the aggregate Purchase Rights which the Holder could have acquired if the Holder had held the number of shares of Common Stock acquirable upon complete exercise of this Warrant (without regard to any limitations on exercise hereof, including without limitation, the Beneficial Ownership Limitation) 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 shares of Common Stock are to be determined for the grant, issue or sale of such Purchase Rights (provided, however, to the extent that the Holder’s right to participate in any such Purchase Right would result in the Holder exceeding the Beneficial Ownership Limitation, then the Holder shall not be entitled to participate in such Purchase Right to such extent (or beneficial ownership of such shares of Common Stock as a result of such Purchase Right to such extent) and such Purchase Right to such extent shall be held in abeyance for the Holder until such time, if ever, as its right thereto would not result in the Holder exceeding the Beneficial Ownership Limitation).

 

(f) Notice to Holder .

 

(i) Adjustment to Exercise Price . Whenever the Exercise Price is adjusted pursuant to any provision of this Section 3, the Company shall promptly mail to the Holder a notice setting forth the Exercise Price after such adjustment and any resulting adjustment to the number of Warrant Shares and setting forth a brief statement of the facts requiring such adjustment.

 

  10  
 

 

(ii) Notice to Allow Exercise by Holder . If (A) the Company shall declare a dividend (or any other distribution in whatever form) on the Common Stock, (B) the Company shall declare a special nonrecurring cash dividend on or a redemption of the Common Stock, (C) the Company shall authorize the granting to all holders of the Common Stock rights or warrants to subscribe for or purchase any shares of capital stock of any class or of any rights, (D) the approval of any stockholders of the Company shall be required in connection with any reclassification of the Common Stock, any consolidation or merger to which the Company is a party, any sale or transfer of all or substantially all of the assets of the Company, or any compulsory share exchange whereby the Common Stock is converted into other securities, or (E) the Company shall authorize the voluntary or involuntary dissolution, liquidation or winding up of the affairs of the Company, then, in each case, to the extent that such information constitutes material non-public information (as determined in good faith by the Company) the Company shall follow the procedure described in Section 13 of the Subscription Agreement and shall deliver to the Holder at its last address as it shall appear upon the Warrant Register of the Company, at least 20 calendar days prior to the applicable record or effective date hereinafter specified, a notice stating (x) the date on which a record is to be taken for the purpose of such dividend, distribution, redemption, rights or warrants, or if a record is not to be taken, the date as of which the holders of the Common Stock of record to be entitled to such dividend, distributions, redemption, rights or warrants are to be determined or (y) the date on which such reclassification, consolidation, merger, sale, transfer or share exchange is expected to become effective or close, and the date as of which it is expected that holders of the Common Stock of record shall be entitled to exchange their shares of the Common Stock for securities, cash or other property deliverable upon such reclassification, consolidation, merger, sale, transfer or share exchange; provided that the failure to mail such notice or any defect therein or in the mailing thereof shall not affect the validity of the corporate action required to be specified in such notice. To the extent that any notice provided hereunder constitutes, or contains, material, non-public information regarding the Company or any of the Subsidiaries, the Company shall simultaneously file such notice with the Commission pursuant to a Current Report on Form 8-K. The Holder shall remain entitled to exercise this Warrant during the period commencing on the date of such notice to the effective date of the event triggering such notice except as may otherwise be expressly set forth herein.

 

i) Increase in Warrant Shares . In the event the Exercise Price is reduced for any reason, including but not limited to pursuant to Section 3(e) and 3(f) of this Warrant the number of Warrant Shares issuable hereunder shall be increased such that the aggregate Exercise Price payable hereunder, after taking into account the decrease in the Exercise Price, shall be equal to the aggregate Exercise Price prior to such adjustment.

 

Section 4 . Transfer of Warrant .

 

(a) Transferability . Subject to compliance with any applicable securities laws and the provisions of the Purchase Agreement, this Warrant and all rights hereunder (including, without limitation, any registration rights) are transferable, in whole or in part, upon surrender of this Warrant at the principal office of the Company or its designated agent, together with a written assignment of this Warrant substantially in the form attached hereto duly executed by the Holder or its agent or attorney and funds sufficient to pay any transfer taxes payable upon the making of such transfer. Upon such surrender and, if required, such payment, the Company shall execute and deliver a new Warrant or Warrants in the name of the assignee or assignees, as applicable, and in the denomination or denominations specified in such instrument of assignment, and shall issue to the assignor a new Warrant evidencing the portion of this Warrant not so assigned, and this Warrant shall promptly be cancelled. The Warrant, if properly assigned in accordance herewith, may be exercised by a new holder for the purchase of Warrant Shares without having a new Warrant issued.

 

  11  
 

 

(b) New Warrants . This Warrant may be divided or combined with other Warrants upon presentation hereof at the aforesaid office of the Company, together with a written notice specifying the names and denominations in which new Warrants are to be issued, signed by the Holder or its agent or attorney. Subject to compliance with Section 4(a), as to any transfer which may be involved in such division or combination, the Company shall execute and deliver a new Warrant or Warrants in exchange for the Warrant or Warrants to be divided or combined in accordance with such notice. All Warrants issued on transfers or exchanges shall be dated the initial issuance date of this Warrant and shall be identical with this Warrant except as to the number of Warrant Shares issuable pursuant thereto.

 

(c) Warrant Register . The Company shall register this Warrant, upon records to be maintained by the Company for that purpose (the “ Warrant Register ”), in the name of the record Holder hereof from time to time. The Company may deem and treat the registered Holder of this Warrant as the absolute owner hereof for the purpose of any exercise hereof or any distribution to the Holder, and for all other purposes, absent actual notice to the contrary.

 

Section 5 . Miscellaneous .

 

(a) No Rights as Stockholder Until Exercise . This Warrant does not entitle the Holder to any voting rights, dividends or other rights as a stockholder of the Company prior to the exercise hereof as set forth in Section 2(d)(i).

 

(b) Loss, Theft, Destruction or Mutilation of Warrant . The Company covenants that upon receipt by the Company of evidence reasonably satisfactory to it of the loss, theft, destruction or mutilation of this Warrant or any stock certificate relating to the Warrant Shares, and in case of loss, theft or destruction, of indemnity or security reasonably satisfactory to it (which, in the case of the Warrant, shall not include the posting of any bond), and upon surrender and cancellation of such Warrant or stock certificate, if mutilated, the Company will make and deliver a new Warrant or stock certificate of like tenor and dated as of such cancellation, in lieu of such Warrant or stock certificate.

 

(c) Saturdays, Sundays, Holidays, etc . If the last or appointed day for the taking of any action or the expiration of any right required or granted herein shall not be a Trading Day, then, such action may be taken or such right may be exercised on the next succeeding Trading Day.

 

(d) Authorized Shares . The Company covenants that, during the period the Warrant is outstanding, it will reserve from its authorized and unissued Common Stock a sufficient number of shares to provide for the issuance of the Warrant Shares upon the exercise of any purchase rights under this Warrant. The Company further covenants that its issuance of this Warrant shall constitute full authority to its officers who are charged with the duty of executing stock certificates to execute and issue the necessary certificates for the Warrant Shares upon the exercise of the purchase rights under this Warrant. The Company will take all such reasonable action as may be necessary to assure that such Warrant Shares may be issued as provided herein without violation of any applicable law or regulation, or of any requirements of the Trading Market upon which the Common Stock may be listed. The Company covenants that all Warrant Shares which may be issued upon the exercise of the purchase rights represented by this Warrant will, upon exercise of the purchase rights represented by this Warrant and payment for such Warrant Shares in accordance herewith, be duly authorized, validly issued, fully paid and non-assessable and free from all taxes, liens and charges created by the Company in respect of the issue thereof (other than taxes in respect of any transfer occurring contemporaneously with such issue). Except and to the extent as waived or consented to by the Holder, the Company shall not by any action, including, without limitation, amending its certificate of incorporation or through any reorganization, transfer of assets, consolidation, merger, dissolution, issue or sale of securities or any other voluntary action, avoid or seek to avoid the observance or performance of any of the terms of this Warrant, but will at all times in good faith assist in the carrying out of all such terms and in the taking of all such actions as may be necessary or appropriate to protect the rights of Holder as set forth in this Warrant against impairment. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the Company will (i) not increase the par value of any Warrant Shares above the amount payable therefor upon such exercise immediately prior to such increase in par value, (ii) take all such action as may be necessary or appropriate in order that the Company may validly and legally issue fully paid and nonassessable Warrant Shares upon the exercise of this Warrant and (iii) use commercially reasonable efforts to obtain all such authorizations, exemptions or consents from any public regulatory body having jurisdiction thereof, as may be, necessary to enable the Company to perform its obligations under this Warrant. Before taking any action which would result in an adjustment in the number of Warrant Shares for which this Warrant is exercisable or in the Exercise Price, the Company shall obtain all such authorizations or exemptions thereof, or consents thereto, as may be necessary from any public regulatory body or bodies having jurisdiction thereof.

 

  12  
 

 

(e) Jurisdiction . All questions concerning governing law, jurisdiction, venue and the construction, validity, enforcement and interpretation of this Warrant shall be determined in accordance with the provisions of the Purchase Agreement.

 

(f) Restrictions . The Holder acknowledges that the Warrant Shares acquired upon the exercise of this Warrant, if not registered, or unless exercised in a cashless exercise when Rule 144 is available, and the Holder does not utilize cashless exercise, will have restrictions upon resale imposed by state and federal securities laws.

 

(g) Non-waiver and Expenses . No course of dealing or any delay or failure to exercise any right hereunder on the part of Holder shall operate as a waiver of such right or otherwise prejudice the Holder’s rights, powers or remedies. Without limiting any other provision of this Warrant or the Purchase Agreement, if the Company willfully and knowingly fails to comply with any provision of this Warrant, which results in any material damages to the Holder, the Company shall pay to the Holder such amounts as shall be sufficient to cover any costs and expenses including, but not limited to, reasonable attorneys’ fees, including those of appellate proceedings, incurred by the Holder in collecting any amounts due pursuant hereto or in otherwise enforcing any of its rights, powers or remedies hereunder.

 

(h) Notices . Any notice, request or other document required or permitted to be given or delivered to the Holder by the Company shall be delivered in accordance with the notice provisions of the Purchase Agreement.

 

(i) Limitation of Liability . No provision hereof, in the absence of any affirmative action by the Holder to exercise this Warrant to purchase Warrant Shares, and no enumeration herein of the rights or privileges of the Holder, shall give rise to any liability of the Holder for the purchase price of any Common Stock or as a stockholder of the Company, whether such liability is asserted by the Company or by creditors of the Company.

 

(j) Remedies . The Holder, in addition to being entitled to exercise all rights granted by law, including recovery of damages, will be entitled to specific performance of its rights under this Warrant. The Company agrees that monetary damages would not be adequate compensation for any loss incurred by reason of a breach by it of the provisions of this Warrant and hereby agrees to waive and not to assert the defense in any action for specific performance that a remedy at law would be adequate.

 

(k) Successors and Assigns . Subject to applicable securities laws, this Warrant and the rights and obligations evidenced hereby shall inure to the benefit of and be binding upon the successors and permitted assigns of the Company and the successors and permitted assigns of Holder. The provisions of this Warrant are intended to be for the benefit of any Holder from time to time of this Warrant and shall be enforceable by the Holder or holder of Warrant Shares.

 

(l) Amendment . This Warrant may be modified or amended or the provisions hereof waived with the written consent of the Company and the Holders of not less than a majority of the outstanding Warrants issued pursuant to the Purchase Agreement.

 

(m) Severability . Wherever possible, each provision of this Warrant shall be interpreted in such manner as to be effective and valid under applicable law, but if any provision of this Warrant shall be prohibited by or invalid under applicable law, such provision shall be ineffective to the extent of such prohibition or invalidity, without invalidating the remainder of such provisions or the remaining provisions of this Warrant.

 

(n) Headings . The headings used in this Warrant are for the convenience of reference only and shall not, for any purpose, be deemed a part of this Warrant.
