PART II — INFORMATION REQUIRED IN OFFERING CIRCULAR
Preliminary Offering Circular dated August 30, 2021
An Offering Statement pursuant to Regulation A relating to these securities has been filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission. Information contained in this Preliminary Offering Circular is subject to completion or amendment. These securities may not be sold nor may offers to buy be accepted before the Offering Statement filed with the Commission is qualified. This Preliminary Offering Circular shall not constitute an offer to sell or the solicitation of an offer to buy nor may there be any sales of these securities in any state in which such offer, solicitation or sale would be unlawful before registration or qualification under the laws of any such state. We may elect to satisfy our obligation to deliver a Final Offering Circular by sending you a notice within two business days after the completion of our sale to you that contains the URL where the Final Offering Circular or the Offering Statement in which such Final Offering Circular was filed may be obtained.
CoroWare, Inc.
$10,000,000
5,000,000,000 SHARES OF COMMON STOCK
$0.002 PER SHARE
This is the public offering of securities of CoroWare, Inc., a Delaware corporation. We are offering 5,000,000,000 shares of our common stock, par value $0.0001 (“Common Stock”), at an offering price of $0.002 per share (the “Offered Shares”) by the Company. This Offering will terminate on twelve months from the day the Offering is qualified or the date on which the maximum offering amount is sold (such earlier date, the “Termination Date”). The minimum purchase requirement per investor is 2,500,000 Offered Shares ($5,000); however, we can waive the minimum purchase requirement on a case-by-case basis in our sole discretion.
These securities are speculative securities. Investment in the Company’s stock involves significant risk. You should purchase these securities only if you can afford a complete loss of your investment. See the “Risk Factors” section on page 4 of this Offering Circular.
We are a shell company pursuant to Rule 405 of the Securities Act. This will have a material impact on our ability to attract additional capital. See “Risk Factors – We are a shell company pursuant to Rule 405 of the Securities Act. This may impact our ability to attract additional capital.
No Escrow
The proceeds of this offering will not be placed into an escrow account. We will offer our Common Stock on a best efforts basis. As there is no minimum offering, upon the approval of any subscription to this Offering Circular, the Company shall immediately deposit said proceeds into the bank account of the Company and may dispose of the proceeds in accordance with the Use of Proceeds.
Subscriptions are irrevocable and the purchase price is non-refundable as expressly stated in this Offering Circular. All proceeds received by the Company from subscribers for this Offering will be available for use by the Company upon acceptance of subscriptions for the Securities by the Company.
The Company, by determination of the Board of Directors, in its sole discretion, may issue the Securities under this Offering for cash, promissory notes, services, and/or other consideration without notice to subscribers. The aggregate offering price is based on the price at which the securities are offered for cash. Any portion of the aggregate offering price or aggregate sales attributable to cash received in a foreign currency will be translated into United States currency at a currency exchange rate in effect on, or at a reasonable time before, the date of the sale of the securities. If securities are not sold for cash, the aggregate offering price or aggregate sales will be based on the value of the consideration as established by bona fide sales of that consideration made within a reasonable time, or, in the absence of sales, on the fair value as determined by an accepted standard. Valuations of non-cash consideration will be reasonable at the time made.
Sale of these shares will commence within two calendar days of the qualification date and it will be a continuous Offering pursuant to Rule 251(d)(3)(i)(F).
This Offering will be conducted on a “best-efforts” basis, which means our Officers will use their commercially reasonable best efforts in an attempt to offer and sell the Shares. Our Officers will not receive any commission or any other remuneration for these sales. In offering the securities on our behalf, the Officers will rely on the safe harbor from broker-dealer registration set out in Rule 3a4-1 under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended.
This Offering Circular shall not constitute an offer to sell or the solicitation of an offer to buy, nor shall there be any sales of these securities in any state or jurisdiction in which such offer, solicitation or sale would be unlawful, prior to registration or qualification under the laws of any such state.
Our Common Stock is quoted on the OTC Market’s “PINK” under the stock symbol “COWI.”
Investing in our Common Stock involves a high degree of risk. See “Risk Factors” beginning on page 4 for a discussion of certain risks that you should consider in connection with an investment in our Common Stock.

Section 15(g) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934
Our shares are covered by section 15(g) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended that imposes additional sales practice requirements on broker/dealers who sell such securities to persons other than established customers and accredited investors (generally institutions with assets in excess of $5,000,000 or individuals with net worth in excess of $1,000,000 or annual income exceeding $200,000 or $300,000 jointly with their spouses). For transactions covered by the Rule, the broker/dealer must make a special suitability determination for the purchase and have received the purchaser’s written agreement to the transaction prior to the sale. Consequently, the Rule may affect the ability of broker/dealers to sell our securities and also may affect your ability to sell your shares in the secondary market.
Section 15(g) also imposes additional sales practice requirements on broker/dealers who sell penny securities. These rules require a one-page summary of certain essential items.

An investment in our Common Stock involves a high degree of risk. You should carefully consider the following risk factors, together with the other information contained in this Offering Circular, before purchasing our Common Stock. Any of the following factors could harm our business, financial condition, results of operations or prospects, and could result in a partial or complete loss of your investment. Some statements in this Offering Circular, including statements in the following risk factors, constitute forward-looking statements. Please refer to the section entitled “Cautionary Statement Regarding Forward-Looking Statements”.
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 less than ten years of corporate operational history and have yet to generate revenue under our new business model, 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 carbon nanotubes and hydrogen sectors, which is a rapidly transforming technological sector. There is no guarantee that we will properly execute our business model in either sector.
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. Further, many of our competitors in the field of carbon nanotubes and hydrogen technology have a significantly larger user base and revenue stream, but have yet 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.
4 |
We expect our quarterly financial results to fluctuate.
We expect our net sales and operating results to vary significantly from quarter to quarter due to a number of factors, including changes in:
● | Demand for our products; and | |
● | Our ability to obtain and retain existing customers; and | |
● | Our ability to develop our carbon nanotubes and hydrogen products; and | |
● | General economic conditions, both domestically and in foreign markets; and | |
● | Advertising and other marketing costs; and | |
● | Costs of producing the carbon nanotubes and hydrogen; and | |
● | Retaining key personnel | |
● | Positive returns on our alternative investments. |
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.
Risks Relating to Our Business and Industry
The COVID-19 pandemic may materially and adversely affect our business and operations.
The impact on our business from the outbreak of the COVID-19 coronavirus is unknown at this time and difficult to predict. While vaccines are currently being administered in the United States and other countries throughout the world, at the current time the federal government and local states have instituted restrictions which could adversely affect the Company’s operations. The impact of COVID-19 has also created global supply chain challenges. These challenges create risk in the timing of delivery of kiosks and products. As outbreaks happen in certain areas of the supply chain it will create delays. Having redundancies in these areas to minimize timeline creep is not cost effective. Additionally, the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on the global financial markets may reduce our ability to access capital, which could negatively impact our short-term and long-term liquidity. Other potential adverse effects of COVID-19 might include, for example, our ability to meet projected goals through the continued availability of our workforce; adverse impacts from new laws and regulations affecting our business or increased cyber risks and reliance on technology infrastructure to support our business and operations, including through remote-work protocols. The specific impact that COVID-19 could have on these risks remains uncertain.
We have a history of losses, and we may not become profitable in the future.
The company has incurred losses in all the years since formation. Most of these investments were made in product development, engineering and some sales expenses. We may incur similar net losses for the foreseeable future.
We expect to continue to make significant future expenditures related to the development and expansion of our business, including:
● | investments in our research and development team and in the development of processing organic waste streams into higher value carbon and hydrogen products; | |
● | investments in sales and marketing, including expanding our sales force, increasing our customer base, increasing market awareness of our platform and development of new technologies; | |
● | expanding of our operations and infrastructure, including internationally; and | |
● | hiring additional employees. |
CoroWare is changing its industry direction and business model
It will take 12-18 months to establish a firm direction towards revenue and profitability. The company will need to build out a new corporate leadership team, identify additional acquisition opportunities, and continue to work on and evolve its long-term business plan. The company is also incurring costs associated with general administration, including legal, accounting and other expenses related to being a public company upon completion of this offering.
As a result of these increased expenses, we will have to generate and sustain increased revenue to be profitable in future periods. Further, in future periods, our revenue growth rate could decline, and we may not be able to generate sufficient revenue to offset higher costs and achieve or sustain profitability. If we fail to achieve, sustain or increase profitability, our business and operating results could be adversely affected.

We have no operating history, which makes it difficult to predict our future results of operations.
The company has been inactive since November 2016, which limits our ability to forecast our future results of operations and subjects us to a number of uncertainties, including our ability to plan for and anticipate future growth. Our historical revenue growth should not be considered indicative of our future performance. Further, in future periods, our revenue growth could slow or our revenue could decline for a number of reasons, including slowing demand for our solutions, increasing competition, a decrease in the growth of our overall market, or our failure, for any reason, to continue to capitalize on growth opportunities. We have also encountered and will encounter risks and uncertainties frequently experienced by growing companies in rapidly changing industries, such as determining appropriate investments of our limited resources, competition from other companies, attracting and retaining customers, hiring, integrating, training and retaining skilled personnel,
Changing global economic conditions may adversely affect our industry, business and results of operations.
Our overall performance depends in part on worldwide economic conditions and trade relations with Asia, Europe and Latin America. These conditions could adversely affect our customers’ ability or willingness to purchase products and services and could adversely affect our operating results. In addition, companies that have competing products may reduce prices which could also reduce our average selling prices and harm our operating results.
If we experience significant fluctuations in our rate of anticipated growth and fail to balance our expenses with our revenue forecasts, our results could be harmed.
Due to the early stages of our business model, the unpredictability of new markets that we enter and unpredictability of future general economic and financial market conditions, we may not be able to accurately forecast our rate of growth. We plan our expense levels and investment on estimates of future revenue and future anticipated rate of growth. We may not be able to adjust our spending quickly enough if the addition of new subscriptions or the renewal rate for existing subscriptions falls short of our expectations.
As a result, we expect that our revenues, operating results and cash flows may fluctuate significantly on a quarterly basis. Our recent revenue growth rates may not be sustainable and may decline in the future. We believe that period-to-period comparisons of our revenues, operating results and cash flows may not be meaningful and should not be relied upon as an indication of future performance.
We may in the future be sued by third parties for alleged infringement of their proprietary rights.
The waste processing, carbon nanotube, and hydrogen production industries are characterized by the existence of a large number of patents, trademarks and copyrights and by frequent litigation based on allegations of infringement or other violations of intellectual property rights. The outcome of any litigation is inherently uncertain. Any intellectual property claims, with or without merit, could be time-consuming and expensive to resolve, could divert management attention from executing our business plan and could require us to change our technology, change our business practices and/or pay monetary damages or enter into short- or long-term royalty or licensing agreements which may not be available in the future at the same terms or at all. Any adverse determination related to intellectual property claims or litigation could be material to our net income or cash flows of a particular quarter or could otherwise adversely affect our operating results.
Our quarterly results can fluctuate and if we fail to meet the expectations of analysts or investors, our stock price and the value of your investment could decline substantially.
We may fail to meet or exceed the expectations of securities analysts or investors, and the market price of our common stock or the trading price of the notes could decline. Moreover, our stock price may be based on expectations of our future performance that may be unrealistic or that may not be met. Some of the important factors that may cause our revenues, operating results and cash flows to fluctuate from quarter to quarter include:
● | our ability to retain and increase sales to existing customers, attract new customers and satisfy our customers’ requirements; | |
● | the number of new employees added; | |
● | changes in our pricing policies whether initiated by us or as a result of intense competition; | |
● | the rate of expansion and productivity of our sales force; |
6 |
● | new product and service introductions by our competitors; | |
● | our success in selling our products and services to large enterprises; | |
● | general economic conditions could adversely affect either our customers’ ability or willingness to purchase additional subscriptions or upgrade their service, or delay a prospective customers’ purchasing decision, or reduce the value of new subscription contracts, or affect renewal rates, all of which could adversely affect our operating results; | |
● | the timing of customer payments and payment defaults by customers; | |
● | costs associated with acquisitions of companies and technologies; | |
● | extraordinary expenses such as litigation or other dispute-related settlement payments; | |
● | the impact of new accounting pronouncements; and |
Many of these factors are not within our control, and the occurrence of one or more of them might cause our operating results to vary widely. As such, we believe that quarter-to-quarter comparisons of our revenues, operating results and cash flows may not be meaningful and should not be relied upon as an indication of future performance.
As we acquire companies or technologies in the future, they could prove difficult to integrate, disrupt our business, dilute stockholder value and adversely affect our operating results and the value of your investment.
As part of our business strategy, we regularly evaluate acquisitions of complementary businesses, joint ventures, services and technologies, and we expect that periodically we will continue to make such investments and acquisitions in the future. Acquisitions and investments involve numerous risks, including:
● | the potential failure to achieve the expected benefits of the combination or acquisition; | |
● | difficulties in and the cost of integrating operations, technologies, services and personnel; | |
● | diversion of financial and managerial resources from existing operations; | |
● | risk of entering new markets in which we have little or no experience; | |
● | potential write-offs of acquired assets or investments; | |
● | potential loss of key employees; | |
● | inability to generate sufficient revenue to offset acquisition or investment costs; | |
● | the inability to maintain relationships with customers and partners of the acquired business; | |
● | potential unknown liabilities associated with the acquired businesses; | |
● | unanticipated expenses related to acquired technology and its integration into existing technology; | |
● | negative impact to our results of operations because of the depreciation and amortization of amounts related to acquired intangible assets, fixed assets and deferred compensation, and the loss of acquired deferred revenue; | |
● | delays in customer purchases due to uncertainty; | |
● | the need to implement controls, procedures and policies appropriate for a public company at companies that prior to the acquisition lacked such controls, procedures and policies; and | |
● | challenges caused by distance, language and cultural differences. |
7 |
In addition, if we finance acquisitions by issuing additional convertible debt or equity securities, our existing stockholders may be diluted which could affect the market price of our stock. Further, if we fail to properly evaluate and execute acquisitions or investments, our business and prospects may be seriously harmed, and the value of your investment may decline.
The market for carbon nanotubes and hydrogen are volatile, and if it develops more slowly than we expect, our business could be harmed.
The market for producing carbon nanotubes and hydrogen is not as mature as the market for packaged enterprise software and hardware, and it is uncertain whether these services will achieve and sustain high levels of demand and market acceptance. If enterprises do not perceive the benefits of carbon nanotubes and hydrogen, then the market for these products and services may not develop at all, or it may develop more slowly than we expect, either of which would significantly adversely affect our operating results. In addition, we may make errors in predicting and reacting to relevant business trends, which could harm our business.
Any failure to protect our intellectual property rights could impair our ability to protect our proprietary technology and our brand.
If we fail to protect our intellectual property rights adequately, our competitors might gain access to our technology, and our business might be harmed. In addition, defending our intellectual property rights might entail significant expense. Any of our trademarks or other intellectual property rights may be challenged by others or invalidated through administrative process or litigation. While we plan to file patents, we may be unable to obtain patent protection for the technology covered in our patent applications. In addition, any patents issued in the future may not provide us with competitive advantages or may be successfully challenged by third parties. Furthermore, legal standards relating to the validity, enforceability and scope of protection of intellectual property rights are uncertain. Effective patent, trademark, copyright and trade secret protection may not be available to us in every country in which our service is available. The laws of some foreign countries may not be as protective of intellectual property rights as those in the U.S., and mechanisms for enforcement of intellectual property rights may be inadequate. Accordingly, despite our efforts, we may be unable to prevent third parties from infringing upon or misappropriating our intellectual property.
We might be required to spend significant resources to monitor and protect our intellectual property rights. We may initiate claims or litigation against third parties for infringement of our proprietary rights or to establish the validity of our proprietary rights. Any litigation, whether or not it is resolved in our favor, could result in significant expense to us and divert the efforts of our technical and management personnel.
If we fail to develop our brands cost-effectively, our business may suffer.
We believe that developing and maintaining awareness of the Carbon Source brand and our other brands in a cost-effective manner is critical to achieving widespread acceptance of our existing and future services and is an important element in attracting new customers. Furthermore, we believe that the importance of brand recognition will increase as competition in our market develops. Successful promotion of our brands will depend largely on the effectiveness of our marketing efforts and on our ability to provide reliable secure and useful services at competitive prices. In the past, our efforts to build our brands have involved significant expense. Brand promotion activities may not yield increased revenue, and even if they do, any increased revenue may not offset the expenses we incurred in building our brands. If we fail to successfully promote and maintain our brands or incur substantial expenses in an unsuccessful attempt to promote and maintain our brands, we may fail to attract enough new customers or retain our existing customers to the extent necessary to realize a sufficient return on our brand-building efforts, and our business could suffer.

We are dependent on our management team and development and operations personnel, and the loss of one or more key employees or groups could harm our business and prevent us from implementing our business plan in a timely manner.
Our success depends substantially upon the continued services of our executive officers and other key members of management, particularly our Chief Executive Officer. From time to time, there may be changes in our executive management team resulting from the hiring or departure of executives. Such changes in our executive management team may be disruptive to our business. We are also substantially dependent on the continued service of our existing development and operations personnel because of the complexity of our service and technologies. We do not have employment agreements with any of our executive officers, key management, development or operations personnel and, therefore, they could terminate their employment with us at any time. We do not maintain key person life insurance policies on any of our employees. The loss of one or more of our key employees or groups could seriously harm our business.
We may not be successful in our efforts to build a pipeline of product candidates.
A key element of our strategy is to build a pipeline of carbon and hydrogen products that are marketable. Even if we are successful in building a product pipeline, the potential product candidates that we identify may not be suitable for sale to customers for any number of reasons. If our methods of identifying potential product candidates fail to produce a pipeline of potentially viable product candidates, then our success as a business will be dependent on the success of fewer potential product candidates, which introduces risks to our business model and potential limitations to any success we may achieve.
Because competition for our target employees is intense, we may not be able to attract and retain the highly skilled employees we need to support our operations and increasing customer base.
In the technology industry, there is substantial and continuous competition for engineers with high levels of experience in designing, developing and managing software and Internet-related services, as well as competition for sales executives and operations personnel. We may not be successful in attracting and retaining qualified personnel. We expect to experience difficulty in hiring and retaining highly skilled employees with appropriate qualifications. In addition, job candidates and existing employees often consider the value of the stock awards they receive in connection with their employment. If our stock price performs poorly, it may adversely affect our ability to retain highly skilled employees. In addition, since we expense all stock-based compensation, we may periodically change our stock compensation practices, which may include reducing the number of employees eligible for options or reducing the size of equity awards granted per employee. If we fail to attract new personnel or fail to retain and motivate our current personnel, our business and future growth prospects could be severely harmed.
If we fail to comply with environmental, health and safety laws and regulations, we could become subject to fines or penalties or incur costs that could harm our business.
We are subject to numerous environmental, health and safety laws and regulations, including those governing laboratory procedures and the handling, use, storage, treatment and disposal of hazardous materials and wastes. Our operations involve the use of hazardous and flammable materials, including chemicals and biological materials. Our operations also produce hazardous waste products. We generally contract with third parties for the disposal of these materials and wastes. We cannot eliminate the risk of contamination or injury from these materials. In the event of contamination or injury resulting from our use of hazardous materials, we could be held liable for any resulting damages, and any liability could exceed our resources. We also could incur significant costs associated with civil or criminal fines and penalties for failure to comply with such laws and regulations.
We do not maintain workers’ compensation insurance to cover us for costs and expenses, that we may incur due to injuries to our employees resulting from the use of hazardous materials. We do not maintain insurance for environmental liability or toxic tort claims that may be asserted against us in connection with our storage or disposal of biological or hazardous materials.
In addition, we may incur substantial costs in order to comply with current or future environmental, health and safety laws and regulations. These current or future laws and regulations may impair our discovery, preclinical development or production efforts. Our failure to comply with these laws and regulations also may result in substantial fines, penalties or other sanctions.
9 |
Our business is subject to changing regulations regarding corporate governance and public disclosure that have increased both our costs and the risk of non-compliance.
We are subject to rules and regulations by various governing bodies, including, for example, the Securities and Exchange Commission, which are charged with the protection of investors and the oversight of companies whose securities are publicly traded. Our efforts to comply with new and changing regulations have resulted in and are likely to continue to result in, increased general and administrative expenses and a diversion of management time and attention from revenue-generating activities to compliance activities.
Moreover, because these laws, regulations and standards are subject to varying interpretations, their application in practice may evolve over time as new guidance becomes available. This evolution may result in continuing uncertainty regarding compliance matters and additional costs necessitated by ongoing revisions to our disclosure and governance practices. If we fail to address and comply with these regulations and any subsequent changes, our business may be harmed.
Natural disasters and other events beyond our control could materially adversely affect us.
Natural disasters or other catastrophic events may cause damage or disruption to our operations, international commerce and the global economy, and thus could have a strong negative effect on us. Our business operations are subject to interruption by natural disasters, fire, power shortages, pandemics and other events beyond our control. Although we maintain crisis management and disaster response plans, such events could make it difficult or impossible for us to deliver our services to our customers and could decrease demand for our services.
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. |
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.
We may not be able to compete successfully with other established companies offering the same or similar services and, as a result, we may not achieve our projected revenue and user targets.
If we are unable to compete successfully with other businesses in our existing market, we may not achieve our projected revenue and/or targets. We compete with both start-up and established financial and technology companies. Compared to our business, some of our competitors may have greater financial and other resources, have been in business longer, have greater name recognition and be better established in the carbon nanotubes and hydrogen sectors.

Failure to manage our rapid growth effectively could increase our expenses, decrease our revenue, and prevent us from implementing our business strategy.
After funding, we expect to experience a period of rapid growth. To manage our anticipated future growth effectively, we must continue to maintain, and may need to enhance, our information technology infrastructure and financial and accounting systems and controls, as well as manage expanded operations in geographically distributed locations. We also must attract, train, and retain a significant number of qualified sales and marketing personnel, professional services personnel, software engineers, technical personnel, and management personnel. Failure to manage our rapid growth effectively could lead us to over-invest or under-invest in technology and operations; result in weaknesses in our infrastructure, systems, or controls; give rise to operational mistakes, losses, or loss of productivity or business opportunities; and result in loss of employees and reduced productivity of remaining employees. Our growth could require significant capital expenditures and may divert financial resources and management attention from other projects, such as the development of new services. If our management is unable to effectively manage our growth, our expenses may increase more than expected, our revenue could decline or may grow more slowly than expected, and we may be unable to implement our business strategy.
We depend on key employees and face competition in hiring and retaining qualified employees.
Our employees are vital to our success, and our key management and other employees are difficult to replace. We currently do not have employment contracts with our key employees. We may not be able to retain highly qualified employees in the future which could adversely affect our business.
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 Nevada 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.
We may experience significant losses from operations.
Even if we do generate operating income in one or more quarters in the future, subsequent developments in our industry, customer base, business or cost structure or an event such as significant litigation or a significant transaction may cause us to again experience operating losses. We may not become profitable for the long-term, or even for any quarter.
Because competition for our target employees is intense, we may not be able to attract and retain the highly skilled employees we need to support our planned growth.
To continue to execute on our growth plan, we must attract and retain highly qualified personnel. Competition for these personnel is intense, especially for senior sales executives and engineers with high levels of experience in designing and developing software and Internet-related services. We may not be successful in attracting and retaining qualified personnel. We have from time to time in the past experienced, and we expect to continue to experience in the future, difficulty in hiring and retaining highly skilled employees with appropriate qualifications. Many of the companies with which we compete for experienced personnel have greater resources than we have. In addition, in making employment decisions, particularly in the Internet and high-technology industries, job candidates often consider the value of the equity awards they are to receive in connection with their employment. Volatility in the price of our stock or failure to obtain stockholder approval for increases in the number of shares available for grant under our equity plans may, therefore, adversely affect our ability to attract or retain key employees. Furthermore, the requirements to expense equity awards may discourage us from granting the size or type of equity awards that job candidates require to join our company. If we fail to attract new personnel or fail to retain and motivate our current personnel, our business and future growth prospects could be severely harmed.
11 |
We may fail to realize the anticipated benefits of any acquisition.
The success of any acquisition will depend on, among other things, our ability to combine our businesses in a manner that does not materially disrupt existing relationships and that allows us to achieve operational synergies and capitalize on the increased brand recognition and customer base of the combined company. If we are not able to achieve these objectives, the anticipated benefits of the acquisition may not be realized fully or at all or may take longer to realize than expected. In particular, the acquisition may not be accretive or accelerate sales in near or long term.
The integration process could result in the loss of key employees; the disruption of our ongoing businesses; or inconsistencies in standards, controls, procedures, or policies that could adversely affect our ability to maintain relationships with third parties and employees or to achieve the anticipated benefits of the acquisition. Integration efforts between the two companies will also divert management’s attention from our core business and other opportunities that could have been beneficial to our shareholders. An inability to realize the full extent of, or any of, the anticipated benefits of the acquisition, as well as any delays encountered in the integration process, could have an adverse effect on our business and results of operations, which may affect the value of the shares of our common stock after the completion of the acquisition.
Further, the actual integration may result in additional and unforeseen expenses. Operational improvements and actual cost synergies, if achieved at all, may be lower than we expect and may take longer to achieve than we anticipate. If we are not able to adequately address these challenges, we may be unable to realize the anticipated benefits of the integration of any acquisition.

General Business Risks
Our business and operations may experience rapid growth. If we fail to manage our growth, our business and operating results could be harmed and we may have to incur significant expenditures to address the additional operational and control requirements of this growth.
We may experience rapid growth in our sales and operations, which may place significant demands on our management, operational and financial infrastructure. If we do not manage our growth, the quality of our products and services could suffer, which could negatively affect our brand and operating results. To manage this growth, we will need to continue to improve our operational, financial and management controls and our reporting systems and procedures. These systems enhancements and improvements will require significant capital expenditures and allocation of valuable management resources. If the improvements are not implemented successfully, our ability to manage our growth will be impaired and we may have to make significant additional expenditures to address these issues, which could harm our financial position. The required improvements may include: Enhancing our information and communication systems to attempt to optimize proper service to our customers, and Enhancing systems of internal controls to ensure timely and accurate reporting of all of our operations
If we fail to maintain an effective system of internal controls, we may not be able to accurately report our financial results or prevent fraud. As a result, current and potential stockholders could lose confidence in our financial reporting, which would harm our business and the trading price of our stock.
Effective internal controls are necessary for us to provide reliable financial reports and effectively prevent fraud. If we cannot provide reliable financial reports or prevent fraud, our brand and operating results could be harmed. We may in the future discover areas of our internal controls that need improvement. We cannot be certain that any measures we implement will ensure that we achieve and maintain adequate controls over our financial processes and reporting in the future. Any failure to implement required new or improved controls, or difficulties encountered in their implementation, could harm our operating results or cause us to fail to meet our reporting obligations. Inferior internal controls could also cause investors to lose confidence in our reported financial information, which could have a negative effect on the trading price of our stock.
We have no operating history under our new business model utilizing carbon nanotubes or hydrogen technology in an emerging and rapidly evolving market. This makes it difficult to evaluate our future prospects and may increase the risk that we will not be successful.
We have no operating history under our new business model utilizing carbon nanotubes or hydrogen technology. You must consider our business and prospects in light of the risks and difficulties we will encounter as an early-stage company in a new and rapidly evolving market. We may not be able to successfully address these risks and difficulties, which could materially harm our business and operating results.
We cannot be certain that additional financing will be available on reasonable terms when required, or at all.
From time to time, we may need additional financing. Our ability to obtain additional financing, if and when required, will depend on investor demand, our operating performance, the condition of the capital markets, and other factors. We cannot assure you that additional financing will be available to us on favorable terms when required, or at all. We may need to raise additional funds through the issuance of equity, equity-linked or debt securities, those securities may have rights, preferences, or privileges senior to the rights of our Common Stock, and our existing stockholders may experience dilution.
13 |
Rapid technological changes.
The industries in which the Company 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.
Lack of indications of product acceptability.
The success of the Company will be dependent upon its ability to develop commercially acceptable products and to sell such products in quantities sufficient to yield profitable results. To date, the Company has received no indications of the commercial acceptability of any of its proposed products. Accordingly, the Company cannot predict whether its products can be marketed and sold in a commercial manner.
Reliance upon third parties.
The Company does not intend on maintaining a significant technical staff nor does it intend on manufacturing its products. Rather it will rely heavily on consultants, contractors, and manufacturers to design, develop and manufacture its products. Accordingly, there is no assurance that such third parties will be available when needed at affordable prices.
Protection of intellectual property.
The success of the Company 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.

The preparation of our consolidated financial statements involves the use of estimates, judgments and assumptions, and our consolidated financial statements may be materially affected if such estimates, judgments or assumptions prove to be inaccurate.
Financial statements prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“GAAP”) typically require the use of estimates, judgments and assumptions that affect the reported amounts. Often, different estimates, judgments and assumptions could reasonably be used that would have a material effect on such financial statements, and changes in these estimates, judgments and assumptions may occur from period to period over time. Significant areas of accounting requiring the application of management’s judgment include, but are not limited to, determining the fair value of assets and the timing and amount of cash flows from assets. These estimates, judgments and assumptions are inherently uncertain and, if our estimates were to prove to be wrong, we would face the risk that charges to income or other financial statement changes or adjustments would be required. Any such charges or changes could harm our business, including our financial condition and results of operations and the price of our securities. See “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations” for a discussion of the accounting estimates, judgments and assumptions that we believe are the most critical to an understanding of our consolidated financial statements and our business.
If securities industry analysts do not publish research reports on us, or publish unfavorable reports on us, then the market price and market trading volume of our Common Stock could be negatively affected.
Any trading market for our Common Stock will be influenced in part by any research reports that securities industry analysts publish about us. We do not currently have and may never obtain research coverage by securities industry analysts. If no securities industry analysts commence coverage of us, the market price and market trading volume of our Common Stock could be negatively affected. In the event we are covered by analysts, and one or more of such analysts downgrade our securities, or otherwise reports on us unfavorably, or discontinues coverage or us, the market price and market trading volume of our Common Stock could be negatively affected.
Future issuances of our Common Stock or securities convertible into our Common Stock, or the expiration of lock-up agreements that restrict the issuance of new Common Stock or the trading of outstanding stock, could cause the market price of our Common Stock to decline and would result in the dilution of your shareholding.
Future issuances of our Common Stock or securities convertible into our Common Stock, and/or conversion of the Notes convertible into Common Stock, or the expiration of lock-up agreements that restrict the sale of Common Stock by selling shareholders, or the trading of outstanding stock, could cause the market price of our Common Stock to decline. We cannot predict the effect, if any, of the exercise of conversion of the Notes into Common Stock or other future issuances of our Common Stock or securities convertible into our Common Stock, or the future expirations of lock-up agreements, on the price of our Common Stock. In all events, future issuances of our Common Stock would result in the dilution of your shareholding. In addition, the perception that locked-up parties will sell their securities when the lock-ups expire, could adversely affect the market price of our Common Stock.
Our shares are subject to the penny stock rules, making it more difficult to trade our shares.
The SEC has adopted rules that regulate broker-dealer practices in connection with transactions in penny stocks. Penny stocks are generally equity securities with a price of less than $5.00, other than securities registered on certain national securities exchanges or authorized for quotation on certain automated quotation systems, provided that current price and volume information with respect to transactions in such securities is provided by the exchange or system. If the price of our Common Stock is less than $5.00, our Common Stock will be deemed a penny stock. The penny stock rules require a broker-dealer, before a transaction in a penny stock not otherwise exempt from those rules, to deliver a standardized risk disclosure document containing specified information. In addition, the penny stock rules require that before effecting any transaction in a penny stock not otherwise exempt from those rules, a broker-dealer must make a special written determination that the penny stock is a suitable investment for the purchaser and receive (i) the purchaser’s written acknowledgment of the receipt of a risk disclosure statement; (ii) a written agreement to transactions involving penny stocks; and (iii) a signed and dated copy of a written suitability statement. These disclosure requirements may have the effect of reducing the trading activity in the secondary market for our Common Stock, and therefore stockholders may have difficulty selling their shares.

Our management has broad discretion as to the use of certain of the net proceeds from this Offering.
We intend to use up to $400,000 of the net proceeds from this Offering (if we sell all of the shares being offered) for working capital and other general corporate purposes. However, we cannot specify with certainty the particular uses of such proceeds. Our management will have broad discretion in the application of the net proceeds designated for use as working capital or for other general corporate purposes. Accordingly, you will have to rely upon the judgment of our management with respect to the use of these proceeds. Our management may spend a portion or all of the net proceeds from this Offering in ways that holders of our Common Stock may not desire or that may not yield a significant return or any return at all. The failure by our management to apply these funds effectively could harm our business. Pending their use, we may also invest the net proceeds from this Offering in a manner that does not produce income or that loses value. Please see “Use of Proceeds” below for more information.
Cautionary Statement Regarding Forward-Looking Statements
This Offering Circular contains various “forward-looking statements.” You can identify forward-looking statements by the use of forward-looking terminology such as “believes,” “expects,” “may,” “will,” “would,” “could,” “should,” “seeks,” “approximately,” “intends,” “plans,” “projects,” “estimates” or “anticipates” or the negative of these words and phrases or similar words or phrases. You can also identify forward-looking statements by discussions of strategy, plans or intentions. These statements may be impacted by a number of risks and uncertainties.
The forward-looking statements are based on our beliefs, assumptions and expectations of our future performance taking into account all information currently available to us. These beliefs, assumptions and expectations are subject to risks and uncertainties and can change as a result of many possible events or factors, not all of which are known to us. If a change occurs, our business, financial condition, liquidity and results of operations may vary materially from those expressed in our forward-looking statements. You should carefully consider these risks before you make an investment decision with respect to our Securities. For a further discussion of these and other factors that could impact our future results, performance or transactions, see the section entitled “Risk Factors.”
If we sell all of the shares being offered, our net proceeds (after our estimated offering expenses of $1,000,000) will be $9,000,000. We will use these net proceeds for:
18 |
The precise amounts that we will devote to each of the foregoing items, and the timing of expenditures, will vary depending on numerous factors.
As indicated in the table above, if we sell only 25% or 50% of the shares offered for sale in this Offering, we would expect to use the resulting net proceeds for the same purposes as we would use the net proceeds from a sale of 100% of the shares, and in approximately the same proportions, until such time as such use of proceeds would leave us without working capital reserve. At that point we would expect to modify our use of proceeds by limiting our expansion, leaving us with the working capital reserve indicated.
The expected use of net proceeds from this Offering represents our intentions based upon our current plans and business conditions, which could change in the future as our plans and business conditions evolve and change. The amounts and timing of our actual expenditures, specifically with respect to working capital, may vary significantly depending on numerous factors. The precise amounts that we will devote to each of the foregoing items, and the timing of expenditures, will vary depending on numerous factors. As a result, our management will retain broad discretion over the allocation of the net proceeds from this Offering.
In the event we do not sell all of the shares being offered, we may seek additional financing from other sources in order to support the intended use of proceeds indicated above. If we secure additional equity funding, investors in this Offering would be diluted. In all events, there can be no assurance that additional financing would be available to us when wanted or needed and, if available, on terms acceptable to us.
If you purchase shares in this Offering, your ownership interest in our Common Stock will be diluted immediately, to the extent of the difference between the price to the public charged for each share in this Offering and the net tangible book value per share of our Common Stock after this Offering.
Our historical net tangible book value as of June 30, 2021 was $(93,793,312) or $(0.0067) per then-outstanding share of our Common Stock. Historical net tangible book value per share equals the amount of our total tangible assets less total liabilities, divided by the total number of shares of our Common Stock outstanding, all as of the date specified.

The following table illustrates the per share dilution to new investors discussed above, assuming the sale of, respectively, 100%, 50% and 25% of the shares offered for sale in this Offering (after deducting estimated offering expenses of $1,000,000, $500,000 and $250,000, respectively):

Future Dilution
Dilution may also result from future actions by our Company, and specifically from any increase in the number of shares of the Company’s capital stock outstanding resulting from a stock offering (such as a public offering, a crowdfunding round, a venture capital round or an angel investment), employees exercising stock options, or conversion of certain instruments (such as convertible bonds, preferred shares or warrants) into stock.
If we decide to issue more shares, an investor could experience value dilution, with each share being worth less than before, and control dilution, with the total percentage an investor owns being less than before. There may also be earnings dilution, with a reduction in the amount earned per share (though this typically occurs only if we offer dividends, and most early-stage companies are unlikely to offer dividends, preferring to invest any earnings into the Company).
Dilution might also happen upon conversion of convertible notes into shares. Typically, the terms of convertible notes issued by early-stage companies provide that in the event of another round of financing, the holders of the convertible notes get to convert their notes into equity at a “discount” to the price paid by the new investors, i.e., they get more shares than the new investors would for the same price. Additionally, convertible notes may have a “price cap” on the conversion price, which effectively acts as a share price ceiling. Either way, the holders of the convertible notes get more shares for their money than new investors. In the event that the financing is a “down round” the holders of the convertible notes will dilute existing equity holders, and even more than the new investors do, because they get more shares for their money. Investors should pay careful attention to the amount of convertible notes that the company has issued (and may issue in the future), and the terms of those notes.
If you are making an investment expecting to own a certain percentage of our Company or expecting each share to hold a certain amount of value, it’s important to realize how the value of those shares can decrease by actions taken by us. Dilution can make drastic changes to the value of each share, ownership percentage, voting control, and earnings per share.

During the six months ended June 30, 2021, we used $- net cash from investing activities compared to $- for the three months ended June 30, 2020.
During the six months ended June 30, 2021, the Company provided $2,475 cash from financing activities compared to net cash provided by financing activities of $4,533 for the six months ended June 30, 2020. The decrease in cash provided from financing activities was primarily due to a decrease in proceeds from obligations collateralized by receivables.
At June 30, 2021, we had current assets of $-, current liabilities of $89,823,012, a working capital deficit of $89,823,012 and an accumulated deficit of $122,851,060.
At December 31, 2020, we had current assets of $-, current liabilities of $40,196,559, a working capital deficit of $40,196,559 and an accumulated deficit of $73,184,575.
We presently have limited and expensive available credit, and do not have bank financing or other external sources of liquidity. We will need to obtain additional capital in order to expand operations and become profitable. In order to obtain capital, we may need to sell additional shares of our common stock or borrow funds from private lenders. There can be no assurance that we will be successful in obtaining additional funding. We will still need additional capital in order to continue operations until we are able to achieve positive operating cash flow. Additional capital is being sought, but we cannot guarantee that we 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. However, even if we are able to raise the funds required, it is possible that we could incur unexpected costs and expenses, fail to collect significant amounts owed to us, or experience unexpected cash requirements that would force us to seek alternative financing. Furthermore, if we issue 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 of our common stock. If additional financing is not available or is not available on acceptable terms, we will have to curtail our operations.
OFF-BALANCE SHEET ARRANGEMENTS
We do not have any off-balance sheet arrangements that are reasonably likely to have a current or future effect on our financial condition, revenues, results of operations, liquidity, or capital expenditures.

Derivative Financial Instruments
Derivative financial instruments, as defined in FASB ASC 815, Derivatives and Hedging (“ASC 815”), consist of financial instruments or other contracts that contain a notional amount and one or more underlying variables (e.g. interest rate, security price or other variable), require no initial net investment and permit net settlement. The caption Derivative Liability consists of (i) the fair values associated with derivative features embedded in various convertible note financings and (ii) the fair values of the detachable warrants that were issued in connection with those financing arrangements.
We generally do not use derivative financial instruments to hedge exposures to cash-flow, market or foreign-currency risks. However, we have entered into certain other financial instruments and contracts, such as debt financing arrangements and freestanding warrants with features that are either (i) not afforded equity classification, (ii) embody risks not clearly and closely related to host contracts, or (iii) may be net-cash settled by the counterparty. As required by ASC 815, these instruments are required to be carried as derivative liabilities, at fair value, in our financial statements.
25 |
We estimate fair values of derivative financial instruments using various techniques (and combinations thereof) that are considered to be consistent with the objective of measuring fair values. In selecting the appropriate technique, we consider, among other factors, the nature of the instrument, the market risks that it embodies and the expected means of settlement. For less complex derivative instruments, such as free-standing warrants, we generally use the Black-Scholes-Merton option valuation technique because it embodies all of the requisite assumptions (including trading volatility, estimated terms and risk-free rates) necessary to value these instruments. For complex derivative instruments, such as embedded conversion options, we generally use the Flexible Monte Carlo valuation technique because it embodies all of the requisite assumptions (including credit risk, interest-rate risk and exercise/conversion behaviors) that are necessary to value these more complex instruments. Estimating fair values of derivative financial instruments requires the development of significant and subjective estimates that may, and are likely to, change over the duration of the instrument with related changes in internal and external market factors. In addition, option-based techniques are highly volatile and sensitive to changes in the trading market price of our common stock, which has a high-historical volatility. Since derivative financial instruments are initially and subsequently carried at fair values, our income will reflect the volatility in these estimate and assumption changes.

Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures about Market Risk
In the ordinary course of our business, we are not exposed to market risk of the sort that may arise from changes in interest rates or foreign currency exchange rates, or that may otherwise arise from transactions in derivatives.
The preparation of financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires our management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and the disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the consolidated financial statements, and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates. The Company’s significant estimates and assumptions include the fair value of the Company’s common stock, stock-based compensation, the recoverability and useful lives of long-lived assets, and the valuation allowance relating to the Company’s deferred tax assets.
Contingencies
Certain conditions may exist as of the date the financial statements are issued, which may result in a loss to the Company, but which will only be resolved when one or more future events occur or fail to occur. The Company’s management, in consultation with its legal counsel as appropriate, assesses such contingent liabilities, and such assessment inherently involves an exercise of judgment. In assessing loss contingencies related to legal proceedings that are pending against the Company or unasserted claims that may result in such proceedings, the Company, in consultation with legal counsel, evaluates the perceived merits of any legal proceedings or unasserted claims, as well as the perceived merits of the amount of relief sought or expected to be sought therein. If the assessment of a contingency indicates it is probable that a material loss has been incurred and the amount of the liability can be estimated, then the estimated liability would be accrued in the Company’s financial statements. If the assessment indicates a potentially material loss contingency is not probable, but is reasonably possible, or is probable, but cannot be estimated, then the nature of the contingent liability, together with an estimate of the range of possible loss, if determinable and material, would be disclosed. Loss contingencies considered remote are generally not disclosed unless they involve guarantees, in which case the guarantees would be disclosed.
Upon completion of this offering, we will not be subject to current and periodic reporting requirements. As a Regulation A, Tier 1 issuer, we will not be subject to the periodic and current reporting requirements under Rule 257(b) of Regulation A.

Competition
CoroWare is pursuing a business strategy that is similar to other companies, but CoroWare will be using proprietary and patented technologies that are unique in the industry. Nevertheless, there are many other companies that are already producing carbon nanotubes, including:
● | Advanced Material Development | |
● | Carbon Solutions, Inc. | |
● | Cnano Technology. | |
● | First Graphene | |
● | Hyperion Catalysis | |
● | Nanocyl S.A. | |
● | NanoIntegris | |
● | Raymor Nanotech | |
● | Tuball |
Our technologies may also allow us to compete with producers of grey, blue and green hydrogen gas. When utilizing electrical energy from sustainable sources, our hydrogen gas can be considered as green hydrogen and therefore sustainable.
As with the carbon nanotubes, there are many other companies that are already producing hydrogen gas, including:
· | PowerTap Hydrogen Capital Corp |
· | Sunhydrogen inc. |
· | Ways2H |
· | SGH2 |
· | Standard Hydrogen Corp |
· | Powerhouse Energygroup |
· | Hydrogen Utopia International |
· | Japan Blue Energy |
· | Wabash Valley Resources |
· | Raven SR |
· | Bayotech |
· | Electro Active |
Our potential competitors may have greater resources, better access to capital, longer histories, more intellectual property and lower cost operations.
They may secure better terms during the investment negotiation process, make strategic decisions more quickly than us and devote more capital to better performing investments than we do.
Our competitors may also enter into business combinations or alliances that strengthen their competitive positions.
Market opportunity
An estimated 8.3 billion metric tonnes of plastic waste have been generated to date, with a mere 9% of that volume being recycled, 12% incinerated and 79% going to landfills. In 2016, the world generated 242 million tonnes of plastic waste—12 percent of all municipal solid waste, according to The World Bank. This plastic waste primarily originated from three regions—57 million tonnes from East Asia and the Pacific, 45 million tonnes from Europe and Central Asia, and 35 million tonnes from North America.
Each year an additional 300 million tonnes of plastic waste are produced, which is projected to continue. According to the original study published in Science Advances, by 2050, there will be 12 billion metric tons of plastic in landfills.
Lack of proper waste management results in plastic waste reaching earth’s oceans. Several organizations are monitoring the abundance of plastic debris in rivers and oceans. Researchers, universities, and non-profit initiatives all conclude that plastic waste form a hazard for marine wildlife and should be captured, preferably before reaching earth’s oceans. Organizations such as The Ocean Cleanup are making great progress in capturing a portion of the plastic waste streams; however, processing this captured plastic is still a challenge.
Over the past few years, several organizations introduced methods to use plastic waste as a feedstock to produce high value materials. Some organizations offer plastic waste recycling solutions that transform unsorted, unwashed waste plastic into liquid fuels; however, these solutions do not address the worldwide objective of reducing greenhouse gas emissions.
The gasification of plastic waste for the synthetic gas (syngas) production is a widely used method to upcycle plastic waste. Several studies have shown that working under high temperatures are an important factor to obtain the gasses, as temperature affects the yield and the type of gasses obtained. A 2020 journal presented on the 6th International Conference on Energy and Environmental Research revealed the need for high temperatures, and more importantly it revealed that only a limited range of plastics could be used to generate high value synthetic gasses.
Pyrolysis is a common technique used to convert plastic and organic wastes into energy, in the form of solid, liquid, and gaseous fuels. Different catalysts are used to improve the pyrolysis process and improve efficiency. However, catalysts are expensive, thus making the overall process less profitable. Moreover, this process is also energy-intensive, and the resulting oil product requires additional energy to be further refined. Pyrolysis also requires emission treatment technologies since some gasses produced through this method are toxic.
Working cooperatively with university and industry partners, CoroWare plans to implement new industrial processes that selectively break carbon-hydrogen bonds in plastics waste using inexpensive, environmentally friendly iron-based catalysts to yield high purity hydrogen and high value carbons. Using these proven proprietary technologies, collected plastic waste material can be upcycled to high value products such as hydrogen gas, graphene and carbon nanotubes.
The global market for hydrogen currently stands at approximately 100 billion USD and is growing at a rate of 3-5% per annum. In addition, the market for hydrogen fuel cells is currently valued at 3 billion USD but is growing at 30-50% per annum.
According to Deloitte Consulting, hydrogen is projected to play a key role in the future of energy. Business leaders worldwide are moving their attention to creating a hydrogen infrastructure to benefit from the opportunities. Hydrogen is expected to be applied first in sectors that are under pressure to decarbonize, however current production methods to produce hydrogen on a large scale are not carbon neutral nor inexpensive. The demand for green hydrogen is growing as people recognize the potential. Plastic waste is a cheap and abundant feedstock that will allow the company to scale quickly and produce hydrogen gas for a competitive price.
The market for carbon products is approximately 30 billion USD, with a growth rate of over 20% in higher value segments. The Carbon Nanotube (CNT) market is estimated to grow up to USD 7 billion by 2026; the number one growth driver is the increasing need for high performance batteries for the electric vehicle market. Carbon Nanotubes can be used for improving electrical conduction and reinforcing materials used in the automotive, aviation, medical, and construction industries.

Growth Issues
Scalability
CoroWare has been and will continue to partner with leading edge materials research taking place at Oxford University and other universities that are developing unique solutions for processing organic waste into high value hydrogen and carbon products.
Insufficient Capital
Currently, CoroWare is confronted with the need to attract and retain a consistent investment source in order to grow our operations rapidly. If CoroWare is not funded properly, it will prevent us from capturing a significant portion of the market. To establish a first mover advantage in this space, CoroWare is seeking funding from the capital markets which may include debt and equity offerings.
Production Lead Time
We anticipate that the lead time for the development of our first patented solution that will be commercially operational will be 18 months. This reflects equipment ordering, installation, development, testing, operational readiness, and market readiness.
Marketing Strategy
CoroWare shall market its hydrogen and carbon products to industrial customers that are developing higher capacity electrochemical energy storage, and construction customers that are seeking higher strength concrete materials, and tire manufacturers that are developing lower-resistance and longer wear tires for automobiles and trucks.
CoroWare shall market its carbon nanotube products to industrial customers that are developing higher capacity electrochemical energy storage, and construction customers that are seeking higher strength concrete materials, and tire manufacturers that are developing lower-resistance and longer wear tires for automobiles and trucks. The Company will implement a direct sales and marketing strategy to reach potential customers and generate revenues.
Seasonality
We do not expect any seasonality in our business.
Employees
As of June 30, 2021, we had one (1) part time employee that served as the Company’s sole officer and director. Our employee is not represented by a union. We consider relations with our employee to be positive and productive.
Legal Proceedings
We may from time to time be involved in various claims and legal proceedings of a nature we believe are normal and incidental to temporary employee staffing business. These matters may include product liability, intellectual property, employment, personal injury cause by our employees, and other general claims. We will accrue for contingent liabilities when it is probable that a liability has been incurred and the amount can be reasonably estimated. We are not presently a party to any legal proceedings that, in the opinion of our management, are likely to have a material adverse effect on our business. Regardless of outcome, litigation can have an adverse impact on us because of defense and settlement costs, diversion of management resources and other factors.

CERTAIN RELATIONSHIPS AND RELATED PARTY TRANSACTIONS
To the best of our knowledge, from January 1, 2019 to June 30, 2021, other than as set forth above, there were no material transactions, or series of similar transactions, or any currently proposed transactions, or series of similar transactions, to which we were or are to be a party, in which the amount involved exceeds $120,000, and in which any director or executive officer, or any security holder who is known by us to own of record or beneficially more than 5% of any class of our Common Stock, or any member of the immediate family of any of the foregoing persons, has an interest (other than compensation to our officers and directors in the ordinary course of business).
Statement of Policy
We have adopted a related-party transactions policy under which our executive officers, directors, nominees for election as a director, beneficial owners of more than 5% of any class of our Common Stock, and any members of the immediate family of any of the foregoing persons are not permitted to enter into a related-party transaction with us without the consent of our audit committee. If the related party is, or is associated with, a member of our audit committee, the transaction must be reviewed and approved by another independent body of our Board of Directors, such as our governance committee. Any request for us to enter into a transaction with a related party in which the amount involved exceeds $120,000 and such party would have a direct or indirect interest must first be presented to our audit committee for review, consideration and approval. If advance approval of a related-party transaction was not feasible or was not obtained, the related-party transaction must be submitted to the audit committee as soon as reasonably practicable, at which time the audit committee shall consider whether to ratify and continue, amend and ratify, or terminate or rescind such related-party transaction. All of the transactions described above were reviewed and considered by, and were entered into with the approval of, or ratification by, our Board of Directors.
The following table sets forth the beneficial ownership of our Common Stock as of August 27, 2021 by:
● | each shareholder known by us to beneficially own more than 5% of our outstanding Common Stock; | |
● | each of our directors; | |
● | each of our named executive officers; and | |
● | all of our directors and executive officers as a group. |
We have determined beneficial ownership in accordance with the rules of the SEC. These rules generally provide that a person is the beneficial owner of securities if such person has or shares the power to vote or direct the voting of securities, or to dispose or direct the disposition of securities. A security holder is also deemed to be, as of any date, the beneficial owner of all securities that such security holder has the right to acquire within 60 days after such date through (i) the exercise of any option or warrant, (ii) the conversion of a security, (iii) the power to revoke a trust, discretionary account or similar arrangement, or (iv) the automatic termination of a trust, discretionary account or similar arrangement. Except as disclosed in the footnotes to this table and subject to applicable community property laws, we believe that each person identified in the table has sole voting and investment power over all of the shares shown opposite such person’s name.
Percentage ownership in the following table is based on 14,102,057,165 shares of common stock outstanding as of August 27, 2021 and excludes:
● | An indeterminate number of shares of common stock to be issued upon the conversion of the Company’s Series B Preferred Stock; | |
● | An indeterminate number of shares of common stock to be issued upon the conversion of the Company’s Series D Preferred Stock; | |
● | An indeterminate number of shares of common stock to be issued upon the conversion of the Company’s Series E Preferred Stock; | |

the ability of our board of directors to issue shares of preferred stock and to determine the price and other terms of those shares, including preferences and voting rights, without stockholder approval, which could be used to significantly dilute the ownership of a hostile acquirer; | |
● | the exclusive right of our board of directors to elect a director to fill a vacancy created by the expansion of our board of directors or the resignation, death or removal of a director, which prevents stockholders from being able to fill vacancies on our board of directors; |
● | a prohibition on stockholder action by written consent, which forces stockholder action to be taken at an annual or special meeting of our stockholders; |
● | the requirement that a special meeting of stockholders may be called only by a majority vote of our board of directors or by stockholders holding shares of our common stock representing in the aggregate a majority of votes then outstanding, which could delay the ability of our stockholders to force consideration of a proposal or to take action, including the removal of directors; |
● | the ability of our board of directors, by majority vote, to amend our by-laws, which may allow our board of directors to take additional actions to prevent a hostile acquisition and inhibit the ability of an acquirer to amend our by-laws to facilitate a hostile acquisition; and |
● | advance notice procedures with which stockholders must comply to nominate candidates to our board of directors or to propose matters to be acted upon at a stockholders’ meeting, which may discourage or deter a potential acquirer from conducting a solicitation of proxies to elect the acquirer’s own slate of directors or otherwise attempting to obtain control of us. |
Delaware Anti-Takeover Statute
We are also subject to certain anti-takeover provisions under the General Corporation Law of the State of Delaware, or the DGCL. Under Section 203 of the DGCL, a corporation may not, in general, engage in a business combination with any holder of 15% or more of its capital stock unless the holder has held the stock for three years or (i) our board of directors approves the transaction prior to the stockholder acquiring the 15% ownership position, (ii) upon consummation of the transaction that resulted in the stockholder acquiring the 15% ownership position, the stockholder owns at least 85% of the outstanding voting stock (excluding shares owned by directors or officers and shares owned by certain employee stock plans) or (iii) the transaction is approved by the board of directors and by the stockholders at an annual or special meeting by a vote of 66 2/3% of the outstanding voting stock (excluding shares held or controlled by the interested stockholder). These provisions in our certificate of incorporation and by-laws and under Delaware law could discourage potential takeover attempts.

Since our inception, we have not paid any dividends on our common stock, and we currently expect that, for the foreseeable future, all earnings (if any) will be retained for the development of our business and no dividends will be declared or paid. In the future, our Board of Directors may decide, at their discretion, whether dividends may be declared and paid, taking into consideration, among other things, our earnings (if any), operating results, financial condition and capital requirements, general business conditions and other pertinent facts.

SHARES ELIGIBLE FOR FUTURE SALE
Prior to this Offering, there has been a limited market for our Common Stock. Future sales of substantial amounts of our Common Stock, or securities or instruments convertible into our Common Stock, in the public market, or the perception that such sales may occur, could adversely affect the market price of our Common Stock prevailing from time to time. Furthermore, because there will be limits on the number of shares available for resale shortly after this Offering due to contractual and legal restrictions described below, there may be resales of substantial amounts of our Common Stock in the public market after those restrictions lapse. This could adversely affect the market price of our Common Stock prevailing at that time.
Rule 144
In general, a person who has beneficially owned restricted shares of our Common Stock for at least twelve months, in the event we are a reporting company under Regulation A, or at least six months, in the event we have been a reporting company under the Exchange Act for at least 90 days before the sale, would be entitled to sell such securities, provided that such person is not deemed to be an affiliate of ours at the time of sale or to have been an affiliate of ours at any time during the 90 days preceding the sale. A person who is an affiliate of ours at such time would be subject to additional restrictions, by which such person would be entitled to sell within any three-month period only a number of shares that does not exceed the greater of the following:
● | 1% of the number of shares of our Common Stock then outstanding; or |
● | the average weekly trading volume of our Common Stock during the four calendar weeks preceding the filing by such person of a notice on Form 144 with respect to the sale; |
40 |
provided that, in each case, we are subject to the periodic reporting requirements of the Exchange Act for at least 90 days before the sale. Rule 144 trades must also comply with the manner of sale, notice and other provisions of Rule 144, to the extent applicable.
Certain legal matters with respect to the shares of common stock offered hereby will be passed upon by Law Offices of Gary L. Blum whose address is 3278 Wilshire Blvd, Suite 603, Los Angeles, CA 90010. Telephone: (213) 381-7450.

For the six months ended June 30, 2021 and 2020
NOTE 3 – SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (continued)
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 the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. The Company uses all available information and appropriate techniques to develop its estimates. However, actual results could differ from its estimates.
Cash and Cash Equivalents
The Company considers highly liquid investments with original maturities of three months or less when purchased as cash equivalents. The Company had no cash equivalents as of June 30, 2021 and December 31, 2020. At times throughout the year, the Company might maintain bank balances that may exceed Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation (“FDIC”) insured limits. Periodically, the Company evaluates the credit worthiness of the financial institutions and has not experienced any losses in such accounts. As of June 30, 2021 and December 31, 2020, the Company did not have bank balances that exceeded the FDIC insured limits.
Accounts Receivable
The Company’s accounts receivable is exposed to credit risk. During the normal course of business, the Company extends unsecured credit to its customers with normal and traditional trade terms. Typically credit terms require payments to be made by the thirtieth day following the sale. The Company regularly evaluates and monitors the creditworthiness of each customer. The Company provides an allowance for doubtful accounts based on our continuing evaluation of its customers’ credit risk and its overall collection history. The Company had an allowance for doubtful accounts of $- and $- at June 30, 2021 and December 31, 2020, respectively.
Inventory
Inventories, which are comprised solely of finished goods, are stated at the lower of cost (based on the first-in, first-out method) or market. The Company provides for estimated losses from obsolete or slow-moving inventories and writes down the cost of inventory at the time such determinations are made. Reserves are estimated based upon inventory on hand, historical sales activity, industry trends, the business environment and the expected net realizable value. The net realizable value is determined based upon current awareness of market prices.
Property and Equipment
Property and equipment are recorded at cost. Expenditures for major renewals and improvements are capitalized while expenditures for minor replacements, maintenance and repairs are expensed as incurred. Depreciation is calculated using the straight-line method over the estimated useful lives of the assets. Upon retirement or disposal of assets, the accounts are relieved of cost and accumulated depreciation and the related gain or loss, if any, is reflected in loss on disposal of assets in the unaudited condensed consolidated statement of income and comprehensive income.

For the six months ended June 30, 2021 and 2020
NOTE 3 – SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (continued)
At least annually, the Company evaluates, and adjusts when necessary, the estimated useful lives. The changes in estimated useful lives did not have a material impact on depreciation in any period. The estimated useful lives are:
Leasehold improvements | Remaining term of lease | |
Furniture and fixtures | 5-7 years | |
Computer equipment and software | 3-5 years |
Impairment of Long-lived Assets
The Company evaluates the carrying value and recoverability of its long-lived assets when circumstances warrant such evaluation by applying the provisions of Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) 360-35, Property, Plant and Equipment, Subsequent Measurement (“ASC 360-35”). ASC 360-35 requires that long-lived assets be reviewed for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of an asset may not be recoverable through the estimated undiscounted cash flows expected to result from the use and eventual disposition of the assets. Whenever any such impairment exists, an impairment loss will be recognized for the amount by which the carrying value exceeds the fair value.
Income Taxes
Income taxes are computed using the asset and liability method. Under the asset and liability method, deferred income tax assets and liabilities are determined based on the differences between the financial reporting and tax bases of assets and liabilities and are measured using the currently enacted tax rates and laws. A valuation allowance is provided for the amount of deferred tax assets that, based on available evidence, are not expected to be realized. Additionally, taxes are calculated and expensed in accordance with applicable tax code.
Segment Reporting
FASB ASC 280-10, Segment Reporting, defines operating segments as components of a company about which separate financial information is available that is evaluated regularly by the chief decision maker in deciding how to allocate resources and in assessing performance. The Company reports according to one main segment.
Fair Value of Financial Instruments
The Company follows FASB ASC 820-10-35-37 (“Paragraph 820-10-35-37”) to measure the fair value of its financial instruments and paragraph 825-10-50-10 of the FASB ASC for disclosures about fair value of its financial instruments. Paragraph 820-10-35-37 establishes a framework for measuring fair value in GAAP and expands disclosures about fair value measurements. To increase consistency and comparability in fair value measurements and related disclosures, Paragraph 820-10-35-37 establishes a fair value hierarchy which prioritizes the inputs to valuation techniques used to measure fair value into three broad levels. The three levels of fair value hierarchy defined by Paragraph 820-10-35-37 are described below:

Level 1 | Quoted market prices available in active markets for identical assets or liabilities as of the reporting date. |
Level 2 | Pricing inputs other than quoted prices in active markets included in Level 1, which are either directly or indirectly observable as of the reporting date. |
Level 3 | Pricing inputs that are generally unobservable inputs and not corroborated by market data. |
Financial assets are considered Level 3 when their fair values are determined using pricing models, discounted cash flow methodologies or similar techniques and at least one significant model assumption or input is unobservable.
The fair value hierarchy gives the highest priority to quoted prices (unadjusted) in active markets for identical assets or liabilities and the lowest priority to unobservable inputs. If the inputs used to measure the financial assets and liabilities fall within more than one level described above, the categorization is based on the lowest level input that is significant to the fair value measurement of the instrument.
The carrying amounts reported in the Company’s unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements for accounts receivable, accounts payable and accrued expenses, and related party accrued expenses approximate their fair value because of the immediate or short-term nature of these financial instruments. The carrying amounts reported in the balance sheet for its notes payable approximates fair value as the contractual interest rate and features are consistent with similar instruments of similar risk in the marketplace.
Transactions involving related parties cannot be presumed to be carried out on an arm’s-length basis, as the requisite conditions of competitive, free-market dealings may not exist. Representations about transactions with related parties, if made, shall not imply that the related party transactions were consummated on terms equivalent to those that prevail in arm’s-length transactions unless such representations can be substantiated.
It is not, however, practical to determine the fair value of advances from stockholders, if any, due to their related party nature.
The following table presents assets and liabilities that are measured and recognized at fair value as of June 30, 2021 and December 31, 2020, on a recurring basis:

NOTE 3 – SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (continued)
Convertible Instruments
The Company evaluates and accounts for conversion options embedded in its convertible instruments in accordance with professional standards for FASB ASC 815, Derivatives and Hedging (“ASC 815”).
Professional standards generally provide three criteria that, if met, require companies to bifurcate conversion options from their host instruments and account for them as free-standing derivative financial instruments. These three criteria include circumstances in which (a) the economic characteristics and risks of the embedded derivative instrument are not clearly and closely related to the economic characteristics and risks of the host contract, (b) the hybrid instrument that embodies both the embedded derivative instrument and the host contract is not re-measured at fair value under otherwise applicable generally accepted accounting principles with changes in fair value reported in earnings as they occur and (c) a separate instrument with the same terms as the embedded derivative instrument would be considered a derivative instrument. Professional standards also provide an exception to this rule when the host instrument is deemed to be conventional as defined under professional standards as “The Meaning of Conventional Convertible Debt Instrument.”
The Company accounts for convertible instruments (when it has determined that the embedded conversion options should not be bifurcated from their host instruments) in accordance with professional standards when “Accounting for Convertible Securities with Beneficial Conversion Features,” as those professional standards pertain to “Certain Convertible Instruments.” Accordingly, the Company records, when necessary, discounts to convertible notes for the intrinsic value of conversion options embedded in debt instruments based upon the differences between the fair value of the underlying common stock at the commitment date of the note transaction and the effective conversion price embedded in the note. Debt discounts under these arrangements are amortized over the term of the related debt to their earliest date of redemption. The Company also records when necessary deemed dividends for the intrinsic value of conversion options embedded in preferred shares based upon the differences between the fair value of the underlying common stock at the commitment date of the note transaction and the effective conversion price embedded in the note.
ASC 815 provides that, among other things, generally, if an event is not within the entity’s control could or require net cash settlement, then the contract shall be classified as an asset or a liability.
Stock Based Compensation
The Company follows FASB ASC 718, Compensation – Stock Compensation, prescribes accounting and reporting standards for all share-based payment transactions in which employee services are acquired. Transactions include incurring liabilities, or issuing or offering to issue shares, options, and other equity instruments such as employee stock ownership plans and stock appreciation rights. Share-based payments to employees, including grants of employee stock options, are recognized as compensation expense in the unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements based on their fair values. That expense is recognized over the period during which an employee is required to provide services in exchange for the award, known as the requisite service period (usually the vesting period).
The Company accounts for stock-based compensation issued to non-employees and consultants in accordance with the provisions of FASB ASC 505-50, Equity–based Payments to Non-Employees. Measurement of share-based payment transactions with non-employees is based on the fair value of whichever is more reliably measurable: (a) the goods or services received; or (b) the equity instruments issued. The fair value of the share-based payment transaction is determined at the earlier of performance commitment date or performance completion date.

NOTE 3 – SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (continued)
Through newly issued restricted common stock, the Company pays qualified contractors and advisors common shares in lieu of compensation for services provided including business development, management, technology development, consulting, legal services and accounting services.
Revenue Recognition
The Company derives its software system integration services revenue from short-duration, time and material contracts. Generally, such contracts provide for an hourly-rate and a stipulated maximum fee. Revenue is recorded only on executed arrangements as time is incurred on the project and as materials, which are insignificant to the total contract value, are expended. Revenue is not recognized in cases where customer acceptance of the work product is
necessary, unless sufficient work has been performed to ascertain that the performance specifications are being met and the customer acknowledges that such performance specifications are being met. The Company periodically review contractual performance and estimate future performance requirements. Losses on contracts are recorded when estimable. No contractual losses were identified during the periods presented.
The Company recognizes revenue for its software and software professional services when persuasive evidence of an arrangement exists, delivery has occurred, the sales price is fixed or determinable and collectability is probable. Product sales are recognized by us generally at the time product is shipped. Shipping and handling costs are included in cost of goods sold.
The Company accounts for arrangements that contain multiple elements in accordance with FASB ASC 605-25, Revenue Recognition, Multiple Element Arrangements. When elements such as hardware, software and consulting services are contained in a single arrangement, or in related arrangements with the same customer, the Company allocates revenue to each element based on its relative fair value, provided that such element meets the criteria for treatment as a separate unit of accounting. The price charged when the element is sold separately generally determines fair value. In the absence of fair value for a delivered element, the Company allocates revenue first to the fair value of the underlying elements and allocate the residual revenue to the delivered elements. In the absence of fair value for an undelivered element, the arrangement is accounted for as a single unit of accounting, resulting in a delay of revenue recognition for the delivered elements until the undelivered elements are fulfilled.
The Company limits the amount of revenue recognition for delivered elements to the amount that is not contingent on future delivery of products or services or subject to customer-specified return of refund privileges. The Company recognizes revenue from the sale of manufacturer’s maintenance and extended warranty contracts in accordance with FASB ASC 605-45, Revenue Recognition, Principal Agent Considerations, net of its costs of purchasing the related contracts.
The Company’s collaboration service revenues are generated through the sale of CoroCall™, a managed collaboration service. Our contracts provide for usage pricing or when paid for pre-paid service. The Company recognizes this revenue in the period that the services or minutes are used and prepaid.

Research and Development
Research and development costs relate to the development of new products, including significant improvements and refinements to existing products, and are expensed as incurred. Research and development expenses for the three and six months ended June 30, 2021 and 2020 were $-, $-, $- and $-, respectively.
Advertising Expense
The Company expenses advertising costs as they are incurred. Advertising expense for the three and six months ended June 30, 2021 and 2020 were $-, $-, $- and $-, respectively.
Concentration of Credit Risk
Financial instruments which potentially expose the Company to concentrations of credit risk are cash and cash equivalents and trade accounts receivable. The Company maintains its cash and cash equivalents in deposit accounts with high quality, credit-worthy financial institutions.
Basic and Diluted Loss per Share
The Company computes basic and diluted earnings per share amounts in accordance with FASB ASC 260, Earnings per Share. Basic earnings per share is computed by dividing net income (loss) available to common shareholders by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding during the reporting period. Diluted earnings per share reflects the potential dilution that could occur if stock options and other commitments to issue common stock were exercised or equity awards vest resulting in the issuance of common stock that could share in the earnings of the Company.
For the six months ended June 30, 2021 and 2020, the effect of common stock equivalents has been excluded from the calculation of diluted earnings per share as their effect would be anti-dilutive.
The Company currently has convertible debt and preferred stock, which, if converted, as of June 30, 2021 and 2020, would have caused the Company to issue diluted shares totaling 37,796,573,503 and 119,130,481,130, respectively.
Dividend Policy
The Company has never declared or paid any cash dividends on its common stock. The Company anticipates that any earnings will be retained for development and expansion of its business and does not anticipate paying any cash dividends in the foreseeable future. Additionally, as of June 30, 2021 and December 31, 2020, the Company has issued, and has outstanding, shares of Series B Preferred Stock which are entitled, prior to the declaration of any dividends on common stock, to earn a 5% dividend, payable in either cash or common stock of the Company. The Board of Directors has sole discretion to declare dividends based on the Company’s financial condition, results of operations, capital requirements, contractual obligations and other relevant factors. At June 30, 2021 and December 31, 2020, there were cumulative undeclared dividends to Preferred Series B shareholders of $15,969 and $15,969, respectively, the obligation for which is contingent on declaration by the board of directors. These balances have been recorded as part of accounts payable and accrued expenses.

Recent Accounting Pronouncements
There are various updates recently issued, most of which represented technical corrections to the accounting literature or application to specific industries and are not expected to a have a material impact on the Company’s financial position, results of operations or cash flows.
NOTE 4 – GOING CONCERN
The Company incurred a net loss in the amount of $49,666,485 during the six months ended June 30, 2021 compared to a net loss of $1,246,268 for the six months ended June 30, 2020. The Company has a working capital deficit of $89,823,012 and $40,196,559 as of June 30, 2021 and December 31, 2020, respectively. The Company has accumulated deficits of $122,851,060 and $73,184,575 as of June 30, 2021 and December 31, 2020, respectively. Because of these and other factors, the Company will require additional working capital to develop its business operations. The Company intends to raise additional working capital through the use of private placements, public offerings and/or bank financing.
There are no assurances that the Company will be able to either (1) achieve a level of revenues adequate to generate sufficient cash flow from operations; or (2) obtain additional financing through either private placements, public offerings and/or bank financing necessary to support the Company’s working capital requirements. To the extent that funds generated from operations, any private placements, public offerings and/or bank financing are insufficient, the Company will have to raise additional working capital. No assurance can be given that additional financing will be available, or if available, will be on terms acceptable to the Company.
These conditions raise substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern. The unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements do not include any adjustments relating to the recoverability and classification of asset carrying amounts or the amount and classification of liabilities that might be necessary should the Company be unable to continue as a going concern.

NOTE 14 – DERIVATIVE LIABILITY
Effective July 31, 2009, the Company adopted ASC 815, which defines determining whether an instrument (or embedded feature) is solely indexed to an entity’s own stock. The conversion price of certain convertible notes, convertible preferred stock and exercise price of certain warrants are variable and subject to the fair value of the Company’s units on the date of conversion or exercise. As a result, the Company has determined that the conversion and exercise features are not considered to be solely indexed to the Company’s own stock and is therefore not afforded equity treatment. In accordance with ASC 815, the Company has bifurcated the conversion and exercise features of the instruments to be recorded as a derivative liability.
ASC 815 requires Company management to assess the fair market value of certain derivatives at each reporting period and recognize any change in the fair market value as items of other income or expense. The Company’s only asset or liability measured at fair value on a recurring basis is its derivative liability associated with convertible notes payable and warrants.
At origination and subsequent revaluations, the Company valued the derivative liabilities using the Black-Scholes options pricing model under the following assumptions as of June 30, 2021 and December 31, 2020:
Six Months Ended June 30, 2021 |
Year Ended December 31, 2020 |

Risk-free interest rate | 0.21-0.87 | % | 0.13-0.36 | % | ||||
Expected options life | 1 - 5 yrs | 1 - 3 yrs | ||||||
Expected dividend yield | - | - | ||||||
Expected price volatility | 376.07 | % | 693.24 | % |
During the six months ended June 30, 2021, the Company’s derivative liability increased from $21,713,986 to $71,074,787, and the Company recognized a gain (loss) on derivative liabilities of $(43,365,798), $554,949, $(49,360,801) and $(600,942) for the three and six months ended June 30, 2021 and 2020, respectively, in conjunction with settlement of convertible notes payable, additions of new derivative liabilities and subsequent revaluations of existing derivative liabilities.

Carbon Source, Inc. (“CS”) was incorporated in the State of Wyoming on June 14, 2021 and its principal business is waste reclamation technologies and processing.
NOTE 2 – SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
Basis of Presentation
The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of CoroWare, Inc. and its wholly-owned subsidiaries, CoroWare Technologies, Inc., CoroWare Robotics Solutions, Inc., and Robotic Workspace Technologies, Inc., as well as its 51% interest in ARiCON, LLC (collectively, the “Company”). All significant inter-company balances and transactions have been eliminated in the consolidated financial statements.
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 the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. The Company uses all available information and appropriate techniques to develop its estimates. However, actual results could differ from its estimates.
Cash and Cash Equivalents
The Company considers highly liquid investments with original maturities of three months or less when purchased as cash equivalents. The Company had no cash equivalents as of December 31, 2020 and 2019. At times throughout the year, the Company might maintain bank balances that may exceed Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation (“FDIC”) insured limits. Periodically, the Company evaluates the credit worthiness of the financial institutions and has not experienced any losses in such accounts. As of December 31, 2020 and 2019, the Company did not have bank balances that exceeded the FDIC insured limits.
Accounts Receivable
The Company’s accounts receivable are exposed to credit risk. During the normal course of business, the Company extends unsecured credit to its customers with normal and traditional trade terms. Typically credit terms require payments to be made by the thirtieth day following the sale. The Company regularly evaluates and monitors the creditworthiness of each customer. The Company provides an allowance for doubtful accounts based on our continuing evaluation of its customers’ credit risk and its overall collection history. The Company had an allowance for doubtful accounts of $- and $- at December 31, 2020 and 2019, respectively.

Inventory
Inventories, which are comprised solely of finished goods, are stated at the lower of cost (based on the first-in, first-out method) or market. The Company provides for estimated losses from obsolete or slow-moving inventories, and writes down the cost of inventory at the time such determinations are made. Reserves are estimated based upon inventory on hand, historical sales activity, industry trends, the business environment and the expected net realizable value. The net realizable value is determined based upon current awareness of market prices.
Property and Equipment
Property and equipment are recorded at cost. Expenditures for major renewals and improvements are capitalized while expenditures for minor replacements, maintenance and repairs are expensed as incurred. Depreciation is calculated using the straight-line method over the estimated useful lives of the assets. Upon retirement or disposal of assets, the accounts are relieved of cost and accumulated depreciation and the related gain or loss, if any, is reflected in loss on disposal of assets in the consolidated statement of income and comprehensive income.
At least annually, the Company evaluates, and adjusts when necessary, the estimated useful lives. The changes in estimated useful lives did not have a material impact on depreciation in any period. The estimated useful lives are:
Leasehold improvements | Remaining term of lease | |
Furniture and fixtures | 5-7 years | |
Computer equipment and software | 3-5 years |
Impairment of Long-lived Assets
The Company evaluates the carrying value and recoverability of its long-lived assets when circumstances warrant such evaluation by applying the provisions of Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) 360-35, Property, Plant and Equipment, Subsequent Measurement (“ASC 360-35”). ASC 360-35 requires that long-lived assets be reviewed for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of an asset may not be recoverable through the estimated undiscounted cash flows expected to result from the use and eventual disposition of the assets. Whenever any such impairment exists, an impairment loss will be recognized for the amount by which the carrying value exceeds the fair value.
Income Taxes
Income taxes are computed using the asset and liability method. Under the asset and liability method, deferred income tax assets and liabilities are determined based on the differences between the financial reporting and tax bases of assets and liabilities and are measured using the currently enacted tax rates and laws. A valuation allowance is provided for the amount of deferred tax assets that, based on available evidence, are not expected to be realized. Additionally, taxes are calculated and expensed in accordance with applicable tax code.
Segment Reporting
FASB ASC 280-10, Segment Reporting, defines operating segments as components of a company about which separate financial information is available that is evaluated regularly by the chief decision maker in deciding how to allocate resources and in assessing performance. The Company reports according to one main segment.
Fair Value of Financial Instruments
The Company follows FASB ASC 820-10-35-37 (“Paragraph 820-10-35-37”) to measure the fair value of its financial instruments and paragraph 825-10-50-10 of the FASB ASC for disclosures about fair value of its financial instruments. Paragraph 820-10-35-37 establishes a framework for measuring fair value in GAAP and

expands disclosures about fair value measurements. To increase consistency and comparability in fair value measurements and related disclosures, Paragraph 820-10-35-37 establishes a fair value hierarchy which prioritizes the inputs to valuation techniques used to measure fair value into three broad levels. The three levels of fair value hierarchy defined by Paragraph 820-10-35-37 are described below:
Level 1 | Quoted market prices available in active markets for identical assets or liabilities as of the reporting date. |
Level 2 | Pricing inputs other than quoted prices in active markets included in Level 1, which are either directly or indirectly observable as of the reporting date. |
Level 3 | Pricing inputs that are generally unobservable inputs and not corroborated by market data. |
Financial assets are considered Level 3 when their fair values are determined using pricing models, discounted cash flow methodologies or similar techniques and at least one significant model assumption or input is unobservable.
The fair value hierarchy gives the highest priority to quoted prices (unadjusted) in active markets for identical assets or liabilities and the lowest priority to unobservable inputs. If the inputs used to measure the financial assets and liabilities fall within more than one level described above, the categorization is based on the lowest level input that is significant to the fair value measurement of the instrument.
The carrying amounts reported in the Company’s consolidated financial statements for accounts receivable, accounts payable and accrued expenses, and related party accrued expenses approximate their fair value because of the immediate or short-term nature of these financial instruments. The carrying amounts reported in the balance sheet for its notes payable approximates fair value as the contractual interest rate and features are consistent with similar instruments of similar risk in the marketplace.
Transactions involving related parties cannot be presumed to be carried out on an arm’s-length basis, as the requisite conditions of competitive, free-market dealings may not exist. Representations about transactions with related parties, if made, shall not imply that the related party transactions were consummated on terms equivalent to those that prevail in arm’s-length transactions unless such representations can be substantiated.
It is not, however, practical to determine the fair value of advances from stockholders, if any, due to their related party nature.
The following table presents assets and liabilities that are measured and recognized at fair value as of December 31, 2020 and 2019, on a recurring basis:
Assets and liabilities measured at fair value on a recurring basis at December 31, 2020 |

Convertible Instruments
The Company evaluates and accounts for conversion options embedded in its convertible instruments in accordance with professional standards for FASB ASC 815, Derivatives and Hedging (“ASC 815”).
Professional standards generally provide three criteria that, if met, require companies to bifurcate conversion options from their host instruments and account for them as free standing derivative financial instruments. These three criteria include circumstances in which (a) the economic characteristics and risks of the embedded derivative instrument are not clearly and closely related to the economic characteristics and risks of the host contract, (b) the hybrid instrument that embodies both the embedded derivative instrument and the host contract is not re-measured at fair value under otherwise applicable generally accepted accounting principles with changes in fair value reported in earnings as they occur and (c) a separate instrument with the same terms as the embedded derivative instrument would be considered a derivative instrument. Professional standards also provide an exception to this rule when the host instrument is deemed to be conventional as defined under professional standards as “The Meaning of Conventional Convertible Debt Instrument”.
The Company accounts for convertible instruments (when it has determined that the embedded conversion options should not be bifurcated from their host instruments) in accordance with professional standards when “Accounting for Convertible Securities with Beneficial Conversion Features,” as those professional standards pertain to “Certain Convertible Instruments.” Accordingly, the Company records, when necessary, discounts to convertible notes for the intrinsic value of conversion options embedded in debt instruments based upon the differences between the fair value of the underlying common stock at the commitment date of the note transaction and the effective conversion price embedded in the note. Debt discounts under these arrangements are amortized over the term of the related debt to their earliest date of redemption. The Company also records when necessary deemed dividends for the intrinsic value of conversion options embedded in preferred shares based upon the differences between the fair value of the underlying common stock at the commitment date of the note transaction and the effective conversion price embedded in the note.
ASC 815 provides that, among other things, generally, if an event is not within the entity’s control could or require net cash settlement, then the contract shall be classified as an asset or a liability.
Stock Based Compensation
The Company follows FASB ASC 718, Compensation – Stock Compensation, prescribes accounting and reporting standards for all share-based payment transactions in which employee services are acquired. Transactions include incurring liabilities, or issuing or offering to issue shares, options, and other equity instruments such as employee stock ownership plans and stock appreciation rights. Share-based payments to employees, including grants of employee stock options, are recognized as compensation expense in the consolidated financial statements based on their fair values. That expense is recognized over the period during which an employee is required to provide services in exchange for the award, known as the requisite service period (usually the vesting period).
The Company accounts for stock-based compensation issued to non-employees and consultants in accordance with the provisions of FASB ASC 505-50, Equity–based Payments to Non-Employees. Measurement of share-based payment transactions with non-employees is based on the fair value of whichever is more reliably measurable: (a) the goods or services received; or (b) the equity instruments issued. The fair value of the share-based payment transaction is determined at the earlier of performance commitment date or performance completion date.
Through newly issued restricted common stock, the Company pays qualified contractors and advisors common shares in lieu of compensation for services provided including business development, management, technology development, consulting, legal services and accounting services.

Revenue Recognition
The Company derives its software system integration services revenue from short-duration, time and material contracts. Generally, such contracts provide for an hourly-rate and a stipulated maximum fee. Revenue is recorded only on executed arrangements as time is incurred on the project and as materials, which are insignificant to the total contract value, are expended. Revenue is not recognized in cases where customer acceptance of the work product is necessary, unless sufficient work has been performed to ascertain that the performance specifications are being met and the customer acknowledges that such performance specifications are being met. The Company periodically review contractual performance and estimate future performance requirements. Losses on contracts are recorded when estimable. No contractual losses were identified during the periods presented.
The Company recognizes revenue for its software and software professional services when persuasive evidence of an arrangement exists, delivery has occurred, the sales price is fixed or determinable and collectability is probable. Product sales are recognized by us generally at the time product is shipped. Shipping and handling costs are included in cost of goods sold.
The Company accounts for arrangements that contain multiple elements in accordance with FASB ASC 605-25, Revenue Recognition, Multiple Element Arrangements. When elements such as hardware, software and consulting services are contained in a single arrangement, or in related arrangements with the same customer, the Company allocates revenue to each element based on its relative fair value, provided that such element meets the criteria for treatment as a separate unit of accounting. The price charged when the element is sold separately generally determines fair value. In the absence of fair value for a delivered element, the Company allocates revenue first to the fair value of the underlying elements and allocate the residual revenue to the delivered elements. In the absence of fair value for an undelivered element, the arrangement is accounted for as a single unit of accounting, resulting in a delay of revenue recognition for the delivered elements until the undelivered elements are fulfilled.
The Company limits the amount of revenue recognition for delivered elements to the amount that is not contingent on future delivery of products or services or subject to customer-specified return of refund privileges. The Company recognizes revenue from the sale of manufacturer’s maintenance and extended warranty contracts in accordance with FASB ASC 605-45, Revenue Recognition, Principal Agent Considerations, net of its costs of purchasing the related contracts.
Research and Development
Research and development costs relate to the development of new products, including significant improvements and refinements to existing products, and are expensed as incurred. Research and development expenses for the years ended December 31, 2020 and 2019 were $- and $-, respectively.
Advertising Expense
The Company expenses advertising costs as they are incurred. Advertising expense for the years ending December 31, 2020 and 2019 were $- and $-, respectively.
Concentration of Credit Risk
Financial instruments which potentially expose the Company to concentrations of credit risk are cash and cash equivalents and trade accounts receivable. The Company maintains its cash and cash equivalents in deposit accounts with high quality, credit-worthy financial institutions.
Basic and Diluted Loss per Share
The Company computes basic and diluted earnings per share amounts in accordance with FASB ASC 260, Earnings per Share. Basic earnings per share is computed by dividing net income (loss) available to common

shareholders by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding during the reporting period. Diluted earnings per share reflects the potential dilution that could occur if stock options and other commitments to issue common stock were exercised or equity awards vest resulting in the issuance of common stock that could share in the earnings of the Company.
For the years ended December 31, 2020 and 2019, the effect of common stock equivalents has been excluded from the calculation of diluted earnings per share as their effect would be anti-dilutive.
The Company currently has convertible debt and preferred stock, which, if converted, as of December 31, 2020 and 2019, would have caused the Company to issue diluted shares totaling 106,657,185,025 and 112,999,200,642, respectively.
Dividend Policy
The Company has never declared or paid any cash dividends on its common stock. The Company anticipates that any earnings will be retained for development and expansion of its business and does not anticipate paying any cash dividends in the foreseeable future. Additionally, as of December 31, 2020 and 2019 the Company has issued and has outstanding shares of Series B Preferred Stock which are entitled, prior to the declaration of any dividends on common stock, to earn a 5 percent dividend, payable in either cash or common stock of the Company. The Board of Directors has sole discretion to declare dividends based on the Company’s financial condition, results of operations, capital requirements, contractual obligations and other relevant factors. At December 31, 2020 and 2019, there were cumulative undeclared dividends to Preferred Series B shareholders of $15,969 and $15,969, respectively, the obligation for which is contingent on declaration by the board of directors. These balances have been recorded as part of accounts payable and accrued expenses.

ASU 2014-12 is effective for fiscal years, and interim periods within those fiscal years, beginning after December 15, 2015. The adoption of ASU 2014-12 did not have any effect on the Company’s financial position, results of operations or cash flows.

In August 2014, the FASB issued ASU No. 2014-15, Presentation of Financial Statements - Going Concern (Subtopic 205-40) (“ASU 2014-15”). ASU 2014-15 provides guidance related to management’s responsibility to evaluate whether there is substantial doubt about an entity’s ability to continue as a going concern and to provide related footnote disclosure. ASU 2014-15 is effective for annual periods ending after December 15, 2016, and for interim and annual periods thereafter. Early application is permitted. The Company does not expect the adoption of ASU 2014-15 to have a material effect on its financial position, results of operations or cash flows.
ASU 2014-16
In November 2014, the FASB issued ASU 2014-16, Derivatives and Hedging (Topic 815) (“ASU 2014-16”). ASU 2014-16 addresses whether the host contract in a hybrid financial instrument issued in the form of a share should be accounted for as debt or equity. ASU 2014-16 is effective for fiscal years, and interim periods within those fiscal years, beginning after December 15, 2015. The adoption of ASU 2014-16 did not have any effect on the Company’s financial position, results of operations or cash flows.
ASU 2014-17
In November 2014, the FASB issued ASU No. 2014-17, Business Combinations (Topic 805): Pushdown Accounting (“ASU 2014-17”). This ASU provides an acquired entity with an option to apply pushdown accounting in its separate financial statements upon occurrence of an event in which an acquirer obtains control of the acquired entity. An acquired entity may elect the option to apply pushdown accounting in the reporting period in which the change-in-control event occurs. If pushdown accounting is applied to an individual change-in-control event, that election is irrevocable. ASU 2014-17 was effective on November 18, 2014. The adoption of ASU 2014-17 did not have any effect on the Company’s financial position, results of operations or cash flows.

This ASU eliminates from U.S. GAAP the concept of extraordinary items. ASU 2015-01 is effective for fiscal years, and interim periods within those fiscal years, beginning after December 15, 2015. A reporting entity may apply the amendments prospectively. The adoption of ASU 2015-01 did not have any effect on the Company’s financial position, results of operations or cash flows.
ASU 2015-02
In February 2015, the FASB issued ASU No. 2015-02, Consolidation (Topic 810): Amendments to the Consolidation Analysis (“ASU 2015-02”), which is intended to improve targeted areas of consolidation guidance for legal entities such as limited partnerships, limited liability corporations, and securitization structures (collateralized debt obligations, collateralized loan obligations, and mortgage-backed security transactions). This ASU focuses on the consolidation evaluation for reporting organizations that are required to evaluate whether they should consolidate certain legal entities. In addition to reducing the number of consolidation models from four to two, the new standard simplifies the FASB ASC and improves current U.S. GAAP by placing more emphasis on risk of loss when determining a controlling financial interest, reducing the frequency of the application of related-party guidance when determining a controlling financial interest in a variable interest entity (“VIE”), and changing consolidation conclusions for companies in several industries that typically make use of limited partnerships or VIEs. This ASU will be effective for fiscal years, and interim periods within those fiscal years, beginning after December 15, 2015. Early adoption is permitted, including adoption in an interim period. The adoption of ASU 2015-02 did not have any effect on the Company’s financial position, results of operations or cash flows.

The amendments in this ASU require that debt issuance costs related to a recognized debt liability be presented in the balance sheet as a direct deduction from the carrying amount of that debt liability, consistent with debt discounts. The recognition and measurement guidance for debt issuance costs are not affected by the amendments in this ASU. The amendments are effective for financial statements issued for fiscal years, and interim periods within those fiscal years, beginning after December 15, 2015. The amendments are to be applied on a retrospective basis, wherein the balance sheet of each individual period presented is adjusted to reflect the period-specific effects of applying the new guidance. The adoption of ASU 2014-08 did not have any effect on the Company’s financial position, results of operations or cash flows.
There are various other updates recently issued, most of which represented technical corrections to the accounting literature or application to specific industries and are not expected to a have a material impact on the Company’s financial position, results of operations or cash flows.
NOTE 3 – GOING CONCERN
The Company incurred a net loss in the amount of $11,729,741 during the year ended December 31, 2020 compared to net income of $10,031,946 for the year ended December 31, 2019. The Company has a working capital deficit of $40,195,559 and $28,466,819 as of December 31, 2020 and 2019, respectively. The Company has accumulated deficits of $73,184,575 and $61,454,835 as of December 31, 2020 and 2019, respectively. Because of these and other factors, the Company will require additional working capital to develop its business operations. The Company intends to raise additional working capital through the use of private placements, public offerings and/or bank financing.
There are no assurances that the Company will be able to either (1) achieve a level of revenues adequate to generate sufficient cash flow from operations; or (2) obtain additional financing through either private placements, public offerings and/or bank financing necessary to support the Company’s working capital requirements. To the extent that funds generated from operations, any private placements, public offerings and/or bank financing are insufficient, the Company will have to raise additional working capital. No assurance can be given that additional financing will be available, or if available, will be on terms acceptable to the Company.
These conditions raise substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern. The consolidated financial statements do not include any adjustments relating to the recoverability and classification of asset carrying amounts or the amount and classification of liabilities that might be necessary should the Company be unable to continue as a going concern.

NOTE 9 – OBLIGATIONS COLLATERALIZED BY RECEIVABLES, NET
On July 16, 2015, the Company entered into an accounts receivable financing arrangement with Knight Capital for a principal amount received in cash of $173,500. The terms of the arrangement requires the Company to repay the principal balance plus an additional $52,050 in debt discounts for total remittance of $225,550. The terms of repayment require the Company to remit to the lender approximately 30% of all future receivables arising from credit card, debit card and prepaid transactions until such time as the total remittance is paid in full. This borrowing is secured by the assets of the Company. The additional $52,050 will be recognized as interest expense over the estimated term of the agreement. The term is not fixed due to the variable repayment terms; however, management currently estimates such terms to be between approximately two and eight months. The ending principal balance of this borrowing at December 31, 2020 was $85,018.
On July 31, 2015, the Company entered into an accounts receivable financing arrangement with High-Speed Capital for a principal amount received in cash of $85,000.

NOTE 14 – DERIVATIVE LIABILITY
Effective July 31, 2009, the Company adopted ASC 815, which defines determining whether an instrument (or embedded feature) is solely indexed to an entity’s own stock. The conversion price of certain convertible notes and exercise price of certain warrants are variable and subject to the fair value of the Company’s units on the date of conversion or exercise. As a result, the Company has determined that the conversion and exercise features are not considered to be solely indexed to the Company’s own stock and is therefore not afforded equity treatment. In accordance with ASC 815, the Company has bifurcated the conversion and exercise features of the instruments to be recorded as a derivative liability.
ASC 815 requires Company management to assess the fair market value of certain derivatives at each reporting period and recognize any change in the fair market value as items of other income or expense. The Company’s

For the years ended December 31, 2020 and 2019
NOTE 18 – INCOME TAXES
The Company accounts for income taxes in accordance with FASB ASC 740, Income Taxes (“ASC 740”), which requires the recognition of deferred tax liabilities and assets at currently enacted tax rates for the expected future tax consequences of events that have been included in the consolidated financial statements or tax returns. A valuation allowance is recognized to reduce the net deferred tax asset to an amount that is more likely than not to be realized.
ASC 740 provides guidance on the accounting for uncertainty in income taxes recognized in a company’s financial statements. ASC 740 requires a company to determine whether it is more likely than not that a tax position will be sustained upon examination based upon the technical merits of the position. If the more likely-than-not threshold is met, a company must measure the tax position to determine the amount to recognize in the consolidated financial statements.
Net deferred tax assets consist of the following components as of December 31, 2020 and 2019:
As a result of the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act (Tax Legislation) enacted on December 22, 2017, the United States corporate income tax rate is 21% effective January 1, 2018.
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 years ended December 31, 2020 and 2019.
The sources of the differences follow:

Change in valuation allowance/NOL carryforward | 278,851 | 263,546 | ||||||
Total provision for income taxes | $ | - | $ | - |
At December 31, 2020, the Company had net operating loss carry forwards of approximately $18,206,575 that expires in varying amounts from the year 2021 thru the year 2037. No tax benefit has been reported in the December 31, 2020 consolidated financial statements since the potential tax benefit is offset by a valuation allowance of the same amount. Due to the change in ownership provisions of the Tax Reform Act of 1986, net operating loss carry forwards for Federal income tax reporting purposes are subject to annual limitations. Should a change in ownership occur, net operating loss carry forwards may be limited as to use in future years.
The income tax provision differs from the amount of income tax determined by applying the estimated U.S. federal and state income tax rates of 34 percent to pretax income from continuing operations for the year ended December 31, 2020 and 2019 due to the following:

(b) Each Grantor shall execute and deliver, and have recorded, any and all agreements, instruments, documents and papers as the Secured Party may reasonably request to evidence the Secured Party’s security interest in any IP Collateral (including, without limitation, filings with the PTO, the Copyright Office or any similar office), and each Grantor hereby constitutes the Secured Party as its attorney-in-fact to execute and file all such writings for the foregoing purposes, all such acts of such attorney being hereby ratified and confirmed; provided, however, that the Secured Party’s taking of such action shall not be a condition to the creation or perfection of the security interest created hereby.

(c) Each Grantor authorizes and requests that the Copyright Office and the PTO record this Agreement, any amendments thereto or copies thereof..
SECTION 6. Grantors’ Rights To Enforce IP Collateral. Prior to the occurrence of an Event of Default, the Grantors shall have the exclusive right to sue for past, present and future infringement of the IP Collateral, including the right to seek injunctions and/or money damages in an effort by the Grantors to protect the IP Collateral against encroachment by third parties, provided, however, that:
(a) Each Grantor provides the Secured Party with written notice of such Grantor’s institution of any legal proceedings for enforcement of any IP Collateral.
(b) Any money damages awarded or received by a Grantor on account of such suit (or the threat of such suit) shall constitute IP Collateral.
(c) Upon the occurrence and during the continuance of any Event of Default, the Secured Party, by notice to the Grantors, may terminate or limit the Grantors’ rights under this Section 6.
SECTION 7. Secured Party’s Actions To Protect IP Collateral. In the event of:
(a) a Grantor’s failure, within fifteen (15) days of written notice from the Secured Party, to cure any failure by such Grantor to observe or perform any of such Grantor’s covenants, agreements or other obligations hereunder; and/or
(b) the occurrence and continuance of any other Event of Default,
the Secured Party, acting in its own name or in that of the Grantors, may (but shall not be required to) act in the Grantors’ place and stead and/or in the Secured Party’s own right in connection therewith.
SECTION 8. Rights Upon Default. Upon the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default, in addition to all other rights and remedies, the Secured Party may exercise all rights and remedies of a secured party under the UCC, with respect to the IP Collateral, in addition to which the Secured Party may sell, license, assign, transfer, or otherwise dispose of the IP Collateral, subject to those restrictions to which a Grantor is subject under applicable law and by contract. Any person may conclusively rely upon an affidavit of an officer of the Secured Party that an Event of Default has occurred and that the Secured Party is authorized to exercise such rights and remedies. In connection with such exercise of rights, the Secured Party shall have a non-exclusive, royalty free license to use the IP Collateral, which shall include a right for the Secured Party to grant one or more non-exclusive sublicenses to use the IP Collateral.

SECTION 9. Secured Party As Attorney-In-Fact.
(a) The Grantors hereby irrevocably make, constitute and appoint the Secured Party (and all officers, employees or agents designated by the Secured Party) as and for the Grantors’ true and lawful agent and attorney-in-fact, effective following the occurrence and during the continuance of any Event of Default, and in such capacity the Secured Party shall have the right, with power of substitution for the Grantors and in the Grantors’ names or otherwise, for the use and benefit of the Secured Party:
(A) To supplement and amend from time to time EXHIBITS A, B and C of this Agreement to include any newly developed, applied for, registered, or acquired IP Collateral of the Grantors and any intent-to-use Trademark applications for which a statement of use or an amendment to allege use has been filed and accepted by the PTO.
(B) To exercise any of the rights and powers referenced herein.
(C) To execute all such instruments, documents, and papers as the Secured Party reasonably determines to be necessary or desirable in connection with the exercise of such rights and remedies and to cause the sale, license, assignment, transfer, or other disposition of the IP Collateral, subject to those restrictions to which the Grantors are subject under applicable law and by contract.
(b) The power of attorney granted herein, being coupled with an interest, shall be irrevocable until this Agreement is terminated in writing by a duly authorized officer of the Secured Party.
(c) The Secured Party shall not be obligated to do any of the acts or to exercise any of the powers authorized by Section 9(a), but if the Secured Party elects to do any such act or to exercise any of such powers, it shall not be accountable for more than it actually receives as a result of such exercise of power.
SECTION 10. Intent. This Agreement is being executed and delivered by the Grantors for the purpose of registering and confirming the grant of the security interest of the Secured Party in the IP Collateral with the PTO and the Copyright Office. It is intended that the security interest granted pursuant to this Agreement is granted as a supplement to, and not in limitation of, the security interest granted to the Secured Party under the Security Agreement. All provisions of the Security Agreement (including, without limitation, the rights, remedies, powers, privileges and discretions of the Secured Party thereunder) shall apply to the IP Collateral. In the event of a conflict between this Agreement and the Security Agreement, the terms of this Agreement shall control with respect to the IP Collateral and the terms of the Security Agreement shall control with respect to all other Collateral.
SECTION 11. Further Assurances. Each Grantor agrees, at its own expense, to execute, acknowledge, deliver and cause to be duly filed all such further documents, financing statements, agreements and instruments and take all such further actions as the Secured Party may from time to time reasonably request to better assure, preserve, protect and perfect the security interest in the IP Collateral granted pursuant to this Agreement and the rights and remedies created hereby or the validity or priority of such security interest, including the payment of any fees and taxes required in connection with the execution and delivery of this Agreement, the granting of the security interest and the filing of any financing statements or other documents in connection herewith or therewith.
7 |
SECTION 12. Indemnity. Each Grantor agrees to defend, indemnify and hold harmless the Secured Party and its officers, employees, and agents against: (a) all obligations, demands, claims, and liabilities claimed or asserted by any other party in connection with the transactions contemplated by this Agreement, and (b) all losses or expenses in any way suffered, incurred, or paid by the Secured Party as a result of or in any way arising out of, following or consequential to transactions between the Secured Party and a Grantor, whether under this Agreement or otherwise (including, without limitation, attorney’s fees and expenses).
SECTION 13. Release of IP Collateral. Upon payment and performance in full of all Obligations, the Secured Party shall, at the Grantors’ expense, execute and deliver to the Grantors all instruments and other documents as may be necessary or proper to release the lien on any security interest in the IP Collateral which has been granted hereunder.
SECTION 14. Additional Grantors. Pursuant to Section 6.12 of the Security Agreement, each subsidiary of the Grantors that was not in existence or not a subsidiary on the date of the Security Agreement is required to become a Grantor and to enter in this Agreement as a Grantor upon becoming a subsidiary. Such subsidiary shall become a Grantor hereunder with the same force and effect as if originally named as a Grantor herein. The rights and obligations of each Grantor hereunder shall remain in full force and effect notwithstanding the addition of any new Grantor as a party to this Agreement.
SECTION 15. Notices. Unless otherwise provided herein, all demands, notices, consents, service of process, requests and other communications hereunder shall be in writing and shall be delivered to the addresses provided in the Security Agreement.
SECTION 16. Binding Effect. All of the covenants and obligations contained herein shall be binding upon and shall inure to the benefit of the respective parties, their successors and assigns.
SECTION 17. Governing Law; Venue. The validity, interpretation and performance of this Agreement shall be determined in accordance with the laws of the State of New Jersey without regard to the principles of conflict of laws. The parties further agree that any action between them shall be heard in Hudson County, New Jersey or Federal district courts located in Newark, New Jersey, and expressly consent to the jurisdiction and venue of the Superior Court of New Jersey, sitting in Hudson County and the United States District Court for the District of New Jersey sitting in Newark, New Jersey for the adjudication of any civil action asserted pursuant to this Paragraph, provided, however, that nothing herein shall prevent the Secured Party from enforcing its rights and remedies (including, without limitation, by filing a civil action) with respect to the IP Collateral and/or the Grantors in any other jurisdiction which the Secured Party deems necessary or appropriate in order to realize on the IP Collateral or to otherwise enforce the Secured Party’s rights against the Grantors or the IP Collateral.
SECTION 18. JURY TRIAL. AS A MATERIAL INDUCEMENT FOR THE SECURED PARTY TO MAKE FINANCIAL ACCOMMODATIONS TO THE GRANTORS, EACH GRANTOR HEREBY WAIVES, TO THE FULLEST EXTENT PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE LAW, ANY RIGHT IT MAY HAVE TO TRIAL BY JURY IN ANY LEGAL PROCEEDING RELATED IN ANY WAY TO THIS AGREEMENT AND/OR ANY AND ALL OF THE OTHER DOCUMENTS ASSOCIATED WITH THIS TRANSACTION.
8 |
SECTION 19. Severability. If any provision of this Agreement is, for any reason, invalid or unenforceable, the remaining provisions of this Agreement will nevertheless be valid and enforceable and will remain in full force and effect. Any provision of this Agreement that is held invalid or unenforceable by a court of competent jurisdiction will be deemed modified to the extent necessary to make it valid and enforceable and as so modified will remain in full force and effect.
SECTION 20. Amendment and Waiver. This Agreement may be amended, or any provision of this Agreement may be waived, provided that any such amendment or waiver will be binding on a party hereto only if such amendment or waiver is set forth in a writing executed by the parties hereto. The waiver by any such party hereto of a breach of any provision of this Agreement shall not operate or be construed as a waiver of any other breach. The Secured Party’s failure to exercise any right, remedy or option under this Agreement or other agreement between the Secured Party and the Grantors or delay by the Secured Party in exercising the same will not operate as a waiver. No waiver by the Secured Party shall affect its right to require strict performance of this Agreement.
SECTION 21. Liability of Grantors. Notwithstanding any provision herein, the Grantors, and each of them, are and shall be jointly and severally liable for any and all Obligations (whether any such Obligation is specified as an obligation of the Grantors or of any of them).
SECTION 22. Entire Agreement. This Agreement and the other documents or agreements delivered in connection herewith set forth the entire understanding of the parties with respect to the subject matter hereof, and shall not be modified or affected by any offer, proposal, statement or representation, oral or written, made by or for any party in connection with the negotiation of the terms hereof, and may be modified only by instruments signed by all of the parties hereto.
SECTION 23. Amended and Restated Agreement. This Agreement shall amend and restate that certain Patent and Trademark Security Agreement dated as of October 29, 2007 granted in favor of the Secured Party (as amended and in effect, the “Existing Agreement”). This Agreement is not in any way intended to constitute a novation of the obligations and liabilities existing under the Existing Agreement or evidence payment of all or any portion of such obligations and liabilities.
SECTION 24. Counterparts. This Agreement may be executed and delivered by exchange of facsimile signatures of the Secured Party and the Grantors, and those signatures need not be affixed to the same copy. This Agreement may be executed in any number of counterparts.

Warrant To Purchase Common Stock
Warrant No.: COWI-1 | Number of Shares: 2,000,000,000 |
Warrant Exercise Price: $0.0006 per share | |
Expiration Date: December 31, 2020 | |
Date of Issuance: February 5, 2016 |
CoroWare, Inc., a Delaware corporation (the “Company”), hereby certifies that, for good and valuable consideration, the receipt and sufficiency of which are hereby acknowledged, YA Global Investments, L.P. (the “Holder”), the registered holder hereof or its permitted assigns, is entitled, subject to the terms set forth below, to purchase from the Company upon surrender of this Warrant, at any time or times on or after the date hereof, but not after 11:59 P.M. Eastern Two Billion (2,000,000,000) fully paid and nonassessable shares of Common Stock (as defined herein) of the Company (the “Warrant Shares”) at the exercise price per share provided in Section 1(b) below or as subsequently adjusted; provided, however, that in no event shall the holder be entitled to exercise this Warrant for a number of Warrant Shares in excess of that number of Warrant Shares which, upon giving effect to such exercise, would cause the aggregate number of shares of Common Stock beneficially owned by the holder and its affiliates to exceed 4.99% of the outstanding shares of the Common Stock following such exercise, except within sixty (60) days of the Expiration Date (however, such restriction may be waived by Holder (but only as to itself and not to any other holder) upon not less than 65 days prior notice to the Company). For purposes of the foregoing proviso, the aggregate 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 the determination of such proviso is being made, but shall exclude shares of Common Stock which would be issuable upon (i) exercise of the remaining, unexercised Warrants beneficially owned by the holder and its affiliates and (ii) exercise or conversion of the unexercised or unconverted portion of any other securities of the Company beneficially owned by the holder and its affiliates (including, without limitation, any convertible notes or preferred stock) subject to a limitation on conversion or exercise analogous to the limitation contained herein. Except as set forth in the preceding sentence, for purposes of this paragraph, beneficial ownership shall be calculated in accordance with Section 13(d) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended. For purposes of this Warrant, 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 (1) the Company’s most recent Form 10-QSB or Form 10-KSB, as the case may be, (2) a more recent public announcement by the Company or (3) any other notice by the Company or its transfer agent setting forth the number of shares of Common Stock outstanding. Upon the written request of any holder, the Company shall promptly, but in no event later than one (1) Business Day following the receipt of such notice, confirm in writing to any such 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 exercise of Warrants (as defined below) by such holder and its affiliates since the date as of which such number of outstanding shares of Common Stock was reported.

(a) Subject to the terms and conditions hereof, this Warrant may be exercised by the holder hereof then registered on the books of the Company, pro rata as hereinafter provided, at any time on any Business Day on or after the opening of business on such Business Day, commencing with the first day after the date hereof, and prior to 11:59 P.M. Eastern Time on the Expiration Date (i) by delivery of a written notice, in the form of the subscription notice attached as Exhibit A hereto (the “Exercise Notice”), of such holder’s election to exercise this Warrant, which notice shall specify the number of Warrant Shares to be purchased, payment to the Company of an amount equal to the Warrant Exercise Price(s) applicable to the Warrant Shares being purchased, multiplied by the number of Warrant Shares (at the applicable Warrant Exercise Price) as to which this Warrant is being exercised (plus any applicable issue or transfer taxes) (the “Aggregate Exercise Price”) in cash or wire transfer of immediately available funds and the surrender of this Warrant (or an indemnification undertaking with respect to this Warrant in the case of its loss, theft or destruction) to a common carrier for overnight delivery to the Company as soon as practicable following such date (“Cash Basis”) or (ii) if at the time of exercise, the Warrant Shares are not subject to an effective registration statement or if an Event of Default has occurred, by delivering an Exercise Notice and in lieu of making payment of the Aggregate Exercise Price in cash or wire transfer, elect instead to receive upon such exercise the “Net Number” of shares of Common Stock determined according to the following formula (the “Cashless Exercise”):
Net Number = (A x B) – (A x C)
B
For purposes of the foregoing formula:
A = the total number of Warrant Shares with respect to which this Warrant is then being exercised.
B = the Closing Bid Price of the Common Stock on the date of exercise of the Warrant.
C = the Warrant Exercise Price then in effect for the applicable Warrant Shares at the time of such exercise.
In the event of any exercise of the rights represented by this Warrant in compliance with this Section 2, the Company shall on or before the fifth (5th) Business Day following the date of receipt of the Exercise Notice, the Aggregate Exercise Price and this Warrant (or an indemnification undertaking with respect to this Warrant in the case of its loss, theft or destruction) and the receipt of the representations of the holder specified in Section 6 hereof, if requested by the Company (the “Exercise Delivery Documents”), and if the Common Stock is DTC eligible, credit such aggregate number of shares of Common Stock to which the holder shall be entitled to the holder’s or its designee’s balance account with The Depository Trust Company; provided, however, if the holder who submitted the Exercise Notice requested physical delivery of any or all of the Warrant Shares, or, if the Common Stock is not DTC eligible then the Company shall, on or before the fifth (5th) Business Day following receipt of the Exercise Delivery Documents, issue and surrender to a common carrier for overnight delivery to the address specified in the Exercise Notice, a certificate, registered in the name of the holder, for the number of shares of Common Stock to which the holder shall be entitled pursuant to such request. Upon delivery of the Exercise Notice and Aggregate Exercise Price referred to in clause (i) or (ii) above the holder of this Warrant shall be deemed for all corporate purposes to have become the holder of record of the Warrant Shares with respect to which this Warrant has been exercised. In the case of a dispute as to the determination of the Warrant Exercise Price, the Closing Bid Price or the arithmetic calculation of the Warrant Shares, the Company shall promptly issue to the holder the number of Warrant Shares that is not disputed and shall submit the disputed determinations or arithmetic calculations to the holder via facsimile within one (1) Business Day of receipt of the holder’s Exercise Notice.
4 |
(b) If the holder and the Company are unable to agree upon the determination of the Warrant Exercise Price or arithmetic calculation of the Warrant Shares within one (1) day of such disputed determination or arithmetic calculation being submitted to the holder, then the Company shall immediately submit via facsimile (i) the disputed determination of the Warrant Exercise Price or the Closing Bid Price to an independent, reputable investment banking firm or (ii) the disputed arithmetic calculation of the Warrant Shares to its independent, outside accountant. The Company shall cause the investment banking firm or the accountant, as the case may be, to perform the determinations or calculations and notify the Company and the holder of the results no later than forty-eight (48) hours from the time it receives the disputed determinations or calculations. Such investment banking firm’s or accountant’s determination or calculation, as the case may be, shall be deemed conclusive absent manifest error.
(c) Unless the rights represented by this Warrant shall have expired or shall have been fully exercised, the Company shall, as soon as practicable and in no event later than five (5) Business Days after any exercise and at its own expense, issue a new Warrant identical in all respects to this Warrant exercised except it shall represent rights to purchase the number of Warrant Shares purchasable immediately prior to such exercise under this Warrant exercised, less the number of Warrant Shares with respect to which such Warrant is exercised.
(d) No fractional Warrant Shares are to be issued upon any pro rata exercise of this Warrant, but rather the number of Warrant Shares issued upon such exercise of this Warrant shall be rounded up or down to the nearest whole number.
(e) If the Company or its Transfer Agent shall fail for any reason or for no reason to issue to the holder within ten (10) days of receipt of the Exercise Delivery Documents, a certificate for the number of Warrant Shares to which the holder is entitled or to credit the holder’s balance account with The Depository Trust Company for such number of Warrant Shares to which the holder is entitled upon the holder’s exercise of this Warrant, the Company shall, in addition to any other remedies under this Warrant or otherwise available to such holder, pay as additional damages in cash to such holder on each day the issuance of such certificate for Warrant Shares is not timely effected an amount equal to 0.025% of the product of (A) the sum of the number of Warrant Shares not issued to the holder on a timely basis and to which the holder is entitled, and (B) the Closing Bid Price of the Common Stock for the trading day immediately preceding the last possible date which the Company could have issued such Common Stock to the holder without violating this Section 2.
(f) If within ten (10) days after the Company’s receipt of the Exercise Delivery Documents, the Company fails to deliver a new Warrant to the holder for the number of Warrant Shares to which such holder is entitled pursuant to Section 2 hereof, then, in addition to any other available remedies under this Warrant, or otherwise available to such holder, the Company shall pay as additional damages in cash to such holder on each day after such tenth (10th) day that such delivery of such new Warrant is not timely effected in an amount equal to 0.25% of the product of (A) the number of Warrant Shares represented by the portion of this Warrant which is not being exercised and (B) the Closing Bid Price of the Common Stock for the trading day immediately preceding the last possible date which the Company could have issued such Warrant to the holder without violating this Section 2.
5 |
Section 3. Covenants as to Common Stock. The Company hereby covenants and agrees as follows:
(a) This Warrant is, and any Warrants issued in substitution for or replacement of this Warrant will upon issuance be, duly authorized and validly issued.
(b) All Warrant Shares which may be issued upon the exercise of the rights represented by this Warrant will, upon issuance, be validly issued, fully paid and nonassessable and free from all taxes, liens and charges with respect to the issue thereof.
(c) During the period within which the rights represented by this Warrant may be exercised, the Company will at all times have authorized and reserved at least one hundred percent (100%) of the number of shares of Common Stock needed to provide for the exercise of the rights then represented by this Warrant and the par value of said shares will at all times be less than or equal to the applicable Warrant Exercise Price. If at any time the Company does not have a sufficient number of shares of Common Stock authorized and available, then the Company shall call and hold a special meeting of its stockholders within sixty (60) days of that time for the sole purpose of increasing the number of authorized shares of Common Stock.
(d) If at any time after the date hereof the Company shall file a registration statement, the Company shall include the Warrant Shares issuable to the holder, pursuant to the terms of this Warrant and shall maintain, so long as any other shares of Common Stock shall be so listed, such listing of all Warrant Shares from time to time issuable upon the exercise of this Warrant; and the Company shall so list on each national securities exchange or automated quotation system, as the case may be, and shall maintain such listing of, any other shares of capital stock of the Company issuable upon the exercise of this Warrant if and so long as any shares of the same class shall be listed on such national securities exchange or automated quotation system.
(e) The Company will not, by amendment of its Articles 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 to be observed or performed by it hereunder, but will at all times in good faith assist in the carrying out of all the provisions of this Warrant and in the taking of all such action as may reasonably be requested by the holder of this Warrant in order to protect the exercise privilege of the holder of this Warrant against dilution or other impairment, consistent with the tenor and purpose of this Warrant. The Company will not increase the par value of any shares of Common Stock receivable upon the exercise of this Warrant above the Warrant Exercise Price then in effect, and (ii) will take all such actions as may be necessary or appropriate in order that the Company may validly and legally issue fully paid and nonassessable shares of Common Stock upon the exercise of this Warrant.
6 |
(f) This Warrant will be binding upon any entity succeeding to the Company by merger, consolidation or acquisition of all or substantially all of the Company’s assets.
Section 4. Taxes. The Company shall pay any and all taxes, except any applicable withholding, which may be payable with respect to the issuance and delivery of Warrant Shares upon exercise of this Warrant.
Section 5. Warrant Holder Not Deemed a Stockholder. Except as otherwise specifically provided herein, no holder, as such, of this Warrant shall be entitled to vote or receive dividends or be deemed the holder of shares of capital stock of the Company for any purpose, nor shall anything contained in this Warrant be construed to confer upon the holder hereof, as such, any of the rights of a stockholder of the Company or any right to vote, give or withhold consent to any corporate action (whether any reorganization, issue of stock, reclassification of stock, consolidation, merger, conveyance or otherwise), receive notice of meetings, receive dividends or subscription rights, or otherwise, prior to the issuance to the holder of this Warrant of the Warrant Shares which he or she is then entitled to receive upon the due exercise of this Warrant. In addition, nothing contained in this Warrant shall be construed as imposing any liabilities on such holder to purchase any securities (upon exercise of this Warrant or otherwise) or as a stockholder of the Company, whether such liabilities are asserted by the Company or by creditors of the Company. Notwithstanding this Section 5, the Company will provide the holder of this Warrant with copies of the same notices and other information given to the stockholders of the Company generally, contemporaneously with the giving thereof to the stockholders.
Section 6. Representations of Holder. The holder of this Warrant, by the acceptance hereof, represents that it is acquiring this Warrant and the Warrant Shares for its own account for investment only and not with a view towards, or for resale in connection with, the public sale or distribution of this Warrant or the Warrant Shares, except pursuant to sales registered or exempted under the Securities Act; provided, however, that by making the representations herein, the holder does not agree to hold this Warrant or any of the Warrant Shares for any minimum or other specific term and reserves the right to dispose of this Warrant and the Warrant Shares at any time in accordance with or pursuant to a registration statement or an exemption under the Securities Act. The holder of this Warrant further represents, by acceptance hereof, that, as of this date, such holder is an “accredited investor” as such term is defined in Rule 501(a)(1) of Regulation D promulgated by the Securities and Exchange Commission under the Securities Act (an “Accredited Investor”). Upon exercise of this Warrant the holder shall, if requested by the Company, confirm in writing, in a form satisfactory to the Company, that the Warrant Shares so purchased are being acquired solely for the holder’s own account and not as a nominee for any other party, for investment, and not with a view toward distribution or resale and that such holder is an Accredited Investor. If such holder cannot make such representations because they would be factually incorrect, it shall be a condition to such holder’s exercise of this Warrant that the Company receive such other representations as the Company considers reasonably necessary to assure the Company that the issuance of its securities upon exercise of this Warrant shall not violate any United States or state securities laws.
7 |
Section 7. Ownership and Transfer.
(a) The Company shall maintain at its principal executive offices (or such other office or agency of the Company as it may designate by notice to the holder hereof), a register for this Warrant, in which the Company shall record the name and address of the person in whose name this Warrant has been issued, as well as the name and address of each transferee. The Company may treat the person in whose name any Warrant is registered on the register as the owner and holder thereof for all purposes, notwithstanding any notice to the contrary, but in all events recognizing any transfers made in accordance with the terms of this Warrant.
Section 8. Adjustment of Warrant Exercise Price and Number of Shares. The Warrant Exercise Price and the number of shares of Common Stock issuable upon exercise of this Warrant shall be adjusted from time to time as follows:
(a) Adjustment of Warrant Exercise Price and Number of Shares upon Issuance of Common Stock. If and whenever on or after the Issuance Date of this Warrant, the Company issues or sells, or is deemed to have issued or sold, any shares of Common Stock (other than Excluded Securities) for a consideration per share less than a price (the “Applicable Price”) equal to the Warrant Exercise Price in effect immediately prior to such issuance or sale, then immediately after such issue or sale the Warrant Exercise Price then in effect shall be reduced to an amount equal to such consideration per share. Upon each such adjustment of the Warrant Exercise Price hereunder, the number of Warrant Shares issuable upon exercise of this Warrant shall be adjusted to the number of shares determined by multiplying the Warrant Exercise Price in effect immediately prior to such adjustment by the number of Warrant Shares issuable upon exercise of this Warrant immediately prior to such adjustment and dividing the product thereof by the Warrant Exercise Price resulting from such adjustment.
(b) Effect on Warrant Exercise Price of Certain Events. For purposes of determining the adjusted Warrant Exercise Price under Section 8(a) above, the following shall be applicable:
(i) Issuance of Options. If after the date hereof, the Company in any manner grants any Options 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 or exchange of any convertible securities 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 8(b)(i), the lowest price per share for which one share of Common Stock is issuable upon exercise of such Options or upon conversion or exchange of such Convertible Securities shall be equal to 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 the Option, upon exercise of the Option or upon conversion or exchange of any convertible security issuable upon exercise of such Option. No further adjustment of the Warrant Exercise Price shall be made upon the actual issuance of such Common Stock or of such convertible securities upon the exercise of such Options or upon the actual issuance of such Common Stock upon conversion or exchange of such convertible securities.
8 |
(ii) Issuance of Convertible Securities. If the Company in any manner issues or sells any convertible securities and the lowest price per share for which one share of Common Stock is issuable upon the conversion 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 convertible securities for such price per share. For the purposes of this Section 8(b)(ii), the lowest price per share for which one share of Common Stock is issuable upon such conversion or exchange shall be equal to 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 convertible security and upon conversion or exchange of such convertible security. No further adjustment of the Warrant Exercise Price shall be made upon the actual issuance of such Common Stock upon conversion or exchange of such convertible securities, and if any such issue or sale of such convertible securities is made upon exercise of any Options for which adjustment of the Warrant Exercise Price had been or are to be made pursuant to other provisions of this Section 8(b), no further adjustment of the Warrant Exercise Price shall be made by reason of such issue or sale.
(iii) Change in Option Price or Rate of Conversion. If the purchase price provided for in any Options, the additional consideration, if any, payable upon the issue, conversion or exchange of any convertible securities, or the rate at which any convertible securities are convertible into or exchangeable for Common Stock changes at any time, the Warrant Exercise Price in effect at the time of such change shall be adjusted to the Warrant Exercise Price which would have been in effect at such time had such Options or convertible securities provided for such changed purchase price, additional consideration or changed conversion rate, as the case may be, at the time initially granted, issued or sold and the number of Warrant Shares issuable upon exercise of this Warrant shall be correspondingly readjusted. For purposes of this Section 8(b)(iii), if the terms of any Option or convertible security that was outstanding as of the Issuance Date of this Warrant are changed in the manner described in the immediately preceding sentence, then such Option or convertible security and the Common Stock deemed issuable upon exercise, conversion or exchange thereof shall be deemed to have been issued as of the date of such change. No adjustment pursuant to this Section 8(b) shall be made if such adjustment would result in an increase of the Warrant Exercise Price then in effect.
(iv) Calculation of Consideration Received. If any Common Stock, Options or convertible securities are issued or sold or deemed to have been issued or sold for cash, the consideration received therefore will be deemed to be the net amount received by the Company therefore. If any Common Stock, Options or convertible securities are issued or sold for a consideration other than cash, the amount of such consideration received by the Company will be the fair value of such consideration, except where such consideration consists of marketable securities, in which case the amount of consideration received by the Company will be the market price of such securities on the date of receipt of such securities. If any Common Stock, Options or convertible securities are issued to the owners of the non-surviving entity in connection with any merger in which the Company is the surviving entity, the amount of consideration therefore 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 Common Stock, Options or convertible securities, as the case may be. The fair value of any consideration other than cash or securities will be determined jointly by the Company and the holders of Warrants representing at least two-thirds (b) of the Warrant Shares issuable upon exercise of the Warrants then outstanding. 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) Business Days after the tenth (10th) day following the Valuation Event by an independent, reputable appraiser jointly selected by the Company and the holders of Warrants representing at least two-thirds (b) of the Warrant Shares issuable upon exercise of the Warrants then outstanding. The determination of such appraiser shall be final and binding upon all parties and the fees and expenses of such appraiser shall be borne jointly by the Company and the holders of Warrants.
9 |
(v) Integrated Transactions. In case any Option is issued in connection with the issue or sale of other securities of the Company, together comprising one integrated transaction in which no specific consideration is allocated to such Options by the parties thereto, the Options will be deemed to have been issued for a consideration of $.01.
(vi) Treasury Shares. The number of shares of Common Stock outstanding at any given time does not include shares owned or held by or for the account of the Company, and the disposition of any shares so owned or held will be considered an issue or sale of Common Stock.
(vii) Record Date. If the Company takes a record of the holders of Common Stock for the purpose of entitling them (1) to receive a dividend or other distribution payable in Common Stock, Options or in convertible securities or (2) to subscribe for or purchase Common Stock, Options or convertible securities, then such record date will be deemed to be the date of the issue or sale of the shares of Common Stock deemed to have been issued or sold upon the declaration of such dividend or the making of such other distribution or the date of the granting of such right of subscription or purchase, as the case may be.
(c) Adjustment of Warrant Exercise Price upon Subdivision of Common Stock. If the Company at any time after the date of issuance of this Warrant subdivides (by any stock split, stock dividend, recapitalization or otherwise) one or more classes of its outstanding shares of Common Stock into a greater number of shares, any Warrant Exercise Price in effect immediately prior to such subdivision will be proportionately reduced and the number of shares of Common Stock obtainable upon exercise of this Warrant will be proportionately increased. Any adjustment under this Section 8(c) shall become effective at the close of business on the date the subdivision or combination becomes effective. The Warrant Exercise Price shall not be adjusted for any combination of outstanding shares of Common Stock into a smaller number of shares (such as by way of a reverse stock split or anything having a similar effect).
(d) Distribution of Assets. If the Company shall declare or make any dividend or other distribution of its assets (or rights to acquire its assets) to holders of Common Stock, by way of return of capital or otherwise (including, without limitation, any distribution of cash, stock or other securities, property or options by way of a dividend, spin off, reclassification, corporate rearrangement or other similar transaction) (a “Distribution”), at any time after the issuance of this Warrant, then, in each such case:
10 |
(i) any Warrant Exercise Price in effect immediately prior to the close of business on the record date fixed for the determination of holders of Common Stock entitled to receive the Distribution shall be reduced, effective as of the close of business on such record date, to a price determined by multiplying such Warrant Exercise Price by a fraction of which (A) the numerator shall be the Closing Sale Price of the Common Stock on the trading day immediately preceding such record date minus the value of the Distribution (as determined in good faith by the Company’s Board of Directors) applicable to one share of Common Stock, and (B) the denominator shall be the Closing Sale Price of the Common Stock on the trading day immediately preceding such record date; and
(ii) either (A) the number of Warrant Shares obtainable upon exercise of this Warrant shall be increased to a number of shares equal to the number of shares of Common Stock obtainable immediately prior to the close of business on the record date fixed for the determination of holders of Common Stock entitled to receive the Distribution multiplied by the reciprocal of the fraction set forth in the immediately preceding clause (i), or (B) in the event that the Distribution is of common stock of a company whose common stock is traded on a national securities exchange or a national automated quotation system, then the holder of this Warrant shall receive an additional warrant to purchase Common Stock, the terms of which shall be identical to those of this Warrant, except that such warrant shall be exercisable into the amount of the assets that would have been payable to the holder of this Warrant pursuant to the Distribution had the holder exercised this Warrant immediately prior to such record date and with an exercise price equal to the amount by which the exercise price of this Warrant was decreased with respect to the Distribution pursuant to the terms of the immediately preceding clause (i).
(e) Certain Events. If any event occurs of the type contemplated by the provisions of this Section 8 but not expressly provided for by such provisions (including, without limitation, the granting of stock appreciation rights, phantom stock rights or other rights with equity features), then the Company’s Board of Directors will make an appropriate adjustment in the Warrant Exercise Price and the number of shares of Common Stock obtainable upon exercise of this Warrant so as to protect the rights of the holders of the Warrants; provided, except as set forth in Section 8(c),that no such adjustment pursuant to this Section 8(e) will increase the Warrant Exercise Price or decrease the number of shares of Common Stock obtainable as otherwise determined pursuant to this Section 8.
(f) Voluntary Adjustments By Company. The Company may at any time during the term of this Warrant reduce the then current Exercise Price to any amount and for any period of time deemed appropriate by the Board of Directors of the Company.
(g) Notices.
(i) Immediately upon any adjustment of the Warrant Exercise Price, the Company will give written notice thereof to the holder of this Warrant, setting forth in reasonable detail, and certifying, the calculation of such adjustment.
(ii) The Company will give written notice to the holder of this Warrant at least ten (10) days prior to the date on which the Company closes its books or takes a record (A) with respect to any dividend or distribution upon the Common Stock, (B) with respect to any pro rata subscription offer to holders of Common Stock or (C) for determining rights to vote with respect to any Organic Change (as defined below), dissolution or liquidation, provided that such information shall be made known to the public prior to or in conjunction with such notice being provided to such holder.
11 |
(iii) The Company will also give written notice to the holder of this Warrant at least ten (10) days prior to the date on which any Organic Change, dissolution or liquidation will take place, provided that such information shall be made known to the public prior to or in conjunction with such notice being provided to such holder.
Section 9. Purchase Rights; Reorganization, Reclassification, Consolidation, Merger or Sale.
(a) In addition to any adjustments pursuant to Section 8 above, if at any time the Company grants, issues or sells any Options, Convertible Securities or rights to purchase stock, warrants, securities or other property pro rata to the record holders of any class of Common Stock (the “Purchase Rights”), then the holder of this Warrant will be entitled to acquire, upon the terms applicable to such Purchase Rights, the aggregate Purchase Rights which such holder could have acquired if such holder had held the number of shares of Common Stock acquirable upon complete exercise of this Warrant immediately before the date on which a record is taken for the grant, issuance or sale of such Purchase Rights, or, if no such record is taken, the date as of which the record holders of Common Stock are to be determined for the grant, issue or sale of such Purchase Rights.
(b) Any recapitalization, reorganization, reclassification, consolidation, merger, sale of all or substantially all of the Company’s assets to another Person or other transaction in each case which is effected in such a way that holders of Common Stock are entitled to receive (either directly or upon subsequent liquidation) stock, securities or assets with respect to or in exchange for Common Stock is referred to herein as an “Organic Change.” Prior to the consummation of any (i) sale of all or substantially all of the Company’s assets to an acquiring Person or (ii) other Organic Change following which the Company is not a surviving entity, the Company will secure from the Person purchasing such assets or the successor resulting from such Organic Change (in each case, the “Acquiring Entity”) a written agreement (in form and substance satisfactory to the holders of Warrants representing at least two-thirds (iii) of the Warrant Shares issuable upon exercise of the Warrants then outstanding) to deliver to each holder of Warrants in exchange for such Warrants, a security of the Acquiring Entity evidenced by a written instrument substantially similar in form and substance to this Warrant and satisfactory to the holders of the Warrants (including an adjusted warrant exercise price equal to the value for the Common Stock reflected by the terms of such consolidation, merger or sale, and exercisable for a corresponding number of shares of Common Stock acquirable and receivable upon exercise of the Warrants without regard to any limitations on exercise, if the value so reflected is less than any Applicable Warrant Exercise Price immediately prior to such consolidation, merger or sale). Prior to the consummation of any other Organic Change, the Company shall make appropriate provision (in form and substance satisfactory to the holders of Warrants representing a majority of the Warrant Shares issuable upon exercise of the Warrants then outstanding) to insure that each of the holders of the Warrants will thereafter have the right to acquire and receive in lieu of or in addition to (as the case may be) the Warrant Shares immediately theretofore issuable and receivable upon the exercise of such holder’s Warrants (without regard to any limitations on exercise), such shares of stock, securities or assets that would have been issued or payable in such Organic Change with respect to or in exchange for the number of Warrant Shares which would have been issuable and receivable upon the exercise of such holder’s Warrant as of the date of such Organic Change (without taking into account any limitations or restrictions on the exercisability of this Warrant).

If any Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing:
(a) The Secured Party may exercise in respect of the Collateral, in addition to any other rights and remedies provided for herein or otherwise available to it, all of the rights and remedies of a secured party upon default under the UCC (whether or not the UCC applies to the affected Collateral), and also may (i) take absolute control of the Collateral, including, without limitation, transfer into the Secured Party’s name or into the name of its nominee or nominees (to the extent the Secured Party has not theretofore done so) and thereafter receive, for the benefit of the Secured Party, all payments made thereon, give all consents, waivers and ratifications in respect thereof and otherwise act with respect thereto as though it were the outright owner thereof, (ii) require each Grantor to assemble all or part of the Collateral as directed by the Secured Party and make it available to the Secured Party at a place or places to be designated by the Secured Party that is reasonably convenient to both parties, and the Secured Party may enter into and occupy any premises owned or leased by a Grantor where the Collateral or any part thereof is located or assembled for a reasonable period in order to effectuate the Secured Party’s rights and remedies hereunder or under law, without obligation to such Grantor in respect of such occupation, and (iii) without notice except as specified below and without any obligation to prepare or process the Collateral for sale, (A) sell the Collateral or any part thereof in one or more parcels at public or private sale, at any of the Secured Party’s offices or elsewhere, for cash, on credit or for future delivery, and at such price or prices and upon such other terms as the Secured Party may deem commercially reasonable and/or (B) lease, license or dispose of the Collateral or any part thereof upon such terms as the Secured Party may deem commercially reasonable. Each Grantor agrees that, to the extent notice of sale or any other disposition of the Collateral shall be required by law, at least ten (10) days’ notice to such Grantor of the time and place of any public sale or the time after which any private sale or other disposition of the Collateral is to be made shall constitute reasonable notification. The Secured Party shall not be obligated to make any sale or other disposition of any Collateral regardless of notice of sale having been given. The Secured Party may adjourn any public or private sale from time to time by announcement at the time and place fixed therefor, and such sale may, without further notice, be made at the time and place to which it was so adjourned. Each Grantor hereby waives any claims against the Secured Party arising by reason of the fact that the price at which the Collateral may have been sold at a private sale was less than the price which might have been obtained at a public sale or was less than the aggregate amount of the Obligations, even if the Secured Party accepts the first offer received and does not offer such Collateral to more than one offeree, and waives all rights that such Grantor may have to require that all or any part of such Collateral be marshaled upon any sale (public or private) thereof. Each Grantor hereby acknowledges that (i) any such sale of the Collateral by the Secured Party may be made without warranty, (ii) the Secured Party may specifically disclaim any warranties of title, possession, quiet enjoyment or the like, and (iii) such actions set forth in clauses (i) and (ii) above shall not adversely affect the commercial reasonableness of any such sale of Collateral.

(b) Any cash held by the Secured Party as Collateral and all cash proceeds received by the Secured Party in respect of any sale of or collection from, or other realization upon, all or any part of the Collateral may be applied (after payment of any amounts payable to the Secured Party pursuant to Section 8.4 hereof) by the Secured Party against, all or any part of the Obligations in such order as the Secured Party shall elect, consistent with the provisions of the Forbearance Agreement. Any surplus of such cash or cash proceeds held by the Secured Party and remaining after the indefeasible payment in full in cash of all of the Obligations shall be paid over to whomsoever shall be lawfully entitled to receive the same or as a court of competent jurisdiction shall direct.
8 |
(c) In the event that the proceeds of any such sale, collection or realization are insufficient to pay all amounts to which the Secured Party is legally entitled, the Grantors shall be liable for the deficiency, together with interest thereon at the rate specified in the Convertible Debentures for interest on overdue principal thereof or such other rate as shall be fixed by applicable law, together with the costs of collection and the reasonable fees, costs, expenses and other client charges of any attorneys employed by the Secured Party to collect such deficiency.
(d) Each Grantor hereby acknowledges that if the Secured Party complies with any applicable state, provincial, or federal law requirements in connection with a disposition of the Collateral, such compliance will not adversely affect the commercial reasonableness of any sale or other disposition of the Collateral.
(e) The Secured Party shall not be required to marshal any present or future collateral security (including, but not limited to, this Agreement and the Collateral) for, or other assurances of payment of, the Obligations or any of them or to resort to such collateral security or other assurances of payment in any particular order, and all of the Secured Party’s rights hereunder and in respect of such collateral security and other assurances of payment shall be cumulative and in addition to all other rights, however existing or arising. To the extent permitted by applicable law, each Grantor hereby agrees that it will not invoke any law relating to the marshaling of collateral which might cause delay in or impede the enforcement of the Secured Party’s rights under this Agreement or under any other instrument creating or evidencing any of the Obligations or under which any of the Obligations is outstanding or by which any of the Obligations is secured or payment thereof is otherwise assured, and, to the extent permitted by applicable law, each Grantor hereby irrevocably waives the benefits of all such laws.

GLOBAL GUARANTY AGREEMENT
This GLOBAL GUARANTY AGREEMENT dated as of February 5, 2016 (the “Guaranty”), is given by each of the entities listed on Schedule 1 attached hereto (jointly, severally, and collectively, the “Guarantors”) in favor of YA Global Investments, L.P. (f/k/a Cornell Capital Partners, L.P.) (the “Secured Party”). Capitalized terms used herein and not otherwise defined herein shall have the respective meanings set forth in the Forbearance Agreement (as defined below).
WHEREAS:
(A) This Guaranty is being delivered as a condition of that Forbearance Agreement (the “Forbearance Agreement”) of even date herewith between CoroWare, Inc. (“CoroWare”) and the Secured Party. The Secured Party is the holder of a certain Amended, Restated and Consolidated Secured Convertible Debenture of even date herewith (as amended and in effect from time to time, the “Debenture”) issued by CoroWare to the Secured Party.
(B) Each of the Guarantors has executed and delivered (i) an Amended and Restated Global Security Agreement, dated as of the date hereof (as may be amended and supplemented from time to time, the “Security Agreement”), pursuant to which the Guarantors pledge and grant to the Secured Party a security interest in and to all of the Guarantors’ assets and personal property; the Secured Party; and (ii) an Amended and Restated Intellectual Property Security Agreement, dated as of the date hereof (the “IPSA”);
(C) The Forbearance Agreement, Debenture, Security Agreement, IPSA, and all other documents, instruments, and agreements executed in connection therewith, as amended and in effect from time to time, collectively, the “Financing Documents”).
(D) The Secured Party has extended financial accommodations to the Company pursuant to the Financing Agreement and the Debenture, and the Guarantors will directly benefit from the extension of such financial accommodation as part of the affiliated business operations of the Guarantors. Each Guarantor acknowledges that without this Guaranty, the Secured Party would not be willing to enter into the Financing Documents related to such financial accommodations.
NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the premises and the mutual covenants set forth herein, and for other good and valuable consideration the receipt and sufficiency of which is hereby acknowledged, each Guarantor hereby agrees as follows:
1. Guaranty.
(a) Guaranty.
(i) Each Guarantor, as direct obligor and not merely as surety, hereby unconditionally, absolutely, and irrevocably guarantees to the Secured Party the full payment and prompt performance of all of the Obligations (as defined below). Without limiting the foregoing, the Guarantors hereby agree that upon any Event of Default, the Guarantors shall immediately pay or perform any Obligations without notice, demand or formality of any kind.
(ii) The term “Obligations” shall mean and include any and all debts, liabilities, obligations, covenants and duties owing by the Company and/or any Guarantor to the Secured Party, now existing or hereafter arising of every nature, type, and description, whether liquidated, unliquidated, primary, secondary, secured, unsecured, direct, indirect, absolute, or contingent, and whether or not evidenced by a note, guaranty or other instrument, and any amendments, extensions, renewals or increases thereof, including, without limitation, all those under (i) the Financing Documents; (ii) any agreement or document related to the Financing Documents; or (iii) any other or related documents, and including any interest accruing thereon after insolvency, reorganization or like proceeding relating to the Guarantors, whether or not a claim for post-petition interest is allowed in such proceeding, and all costs and expenses of the Secured Party incurred in the enforcement, collection or otherwise in connection with any of the foregoing, including, but not limited to, reasonable attorneys’ fees and expenses and all obligations of the Guarantors to the Secured Party to perform acts or refrain from taking any action.
(b) Continuing Guaranty.
(i) The Obligations under this Guaranty are continuing, absolute, unconditional and irrevocable irrespective of the validity, regularity, enforceability or value of any of the Obligations and notwithstanding any claim, defense or right of set-off which the Guarantors may have against the Secured Party, including any such claim, defense or right based on any present or future applicable law and irrespective of any other circumstances which might otherwise constitute a legal or equitable release, defense or discharge of a surety or a guarantor. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the Obligations of each Guarantor hereunder shall not be discharged or impaired or otherwise affected by:
(A) any rescission, waiver, amendment or modification of any terms or provisions of the Obligations or the documents evidencing the same.
(B) any fraudulent, illegal, or improper act by any Guarantor or any failure, omission or delay on the part of any Guarantor to conform or comply with any term of the Obligations or of this Guaranty;
(C) any failure of the Secured Party to assert a claim or demand or to enforce or exercise any right or remedy against any Guarantor or any other guarantor for any reason;
(D) any release or discharge by operation of law or otherwise of any Guarantor from any Obligation or the documents evidencing the same;
(E) any change in the existence, structure or ownership of any Guarantor or the legal incapacity of any Guarantor;
(F) any insolvency, bankruptcy, reorganization, arrangement, readjustment, composition, liquidation or other similar proceeding affecting any Guarantor or its/his assets or any resulting disallowance, release or discharge of all or any portion of the Obligations;
2 |
(G) the failure by any Guarantor or any other person to sign this Guaranty; and
(H) any other occurrence, circumstance, happening or event, whether similar or dissimilar to the foregoing and whether foreseen or unforeseen, which otherwise might constitute a legal or equitable defense or discharge of the liabilities of a guarantor or surety or which otherwise might limit recourse against any Guarantor.
(ii) This Guaranty shall continue to be effective or be reinstated, as the case may be, if at any time payment or performance of the Obligations, or any part thereof, to the Secured Party is rescinded or must otherwise be returned by the Secured Party upon the insolvency, bankruptcy or reorganization of the Guarantors, all as though such payment to the Secured Party has not been made.
(c) Guaranty of Payment and Not of Collection; Subordination.
(i) The liability of each Guarantor shall be continuing, direct and immediate and not conditional or contingent upon either the pursuit of any remedies against the Company, a Guarantor or any other person or foreclosure of any security interests or liens available to the Secured Party, its successors, endorsees or assigns. The Secured Party may accept any payment(s), plan for adjustment of debts, plan of reorganization or liquidation, or plan of composition or extension proposed by, or on behalf of, the Company or any Guarantor without in any way affecting or discharging the liability of any Guarantor. If the Obligations are partially paid, each Guarantor shall remain liable for any balance of such Obligations. Without limiting any other provision of, impairing or affecting this Guaranty, the Secured Party may, at any time and from time to time, take or refrain from taking, all or any actions whatsoever, including the following actions: (a) retain or obtain a Lien in any property to secure any of the Obligations; (b) amend, extend, renew, adjust, waive or release any Obligations or the terms thereof, (c) release or fail to perfect its interest in all or any property securing any of the Obligations or permit any substitution or exchange for any such property.
(ii) With respect to any sum paid or payable by a Guarantor hereunder or in connection herewith or otherwise, all rights of such Guarantor against any other Guarantor arising as a result thereof by way of right of subrogation, contribution, reimbursement, indemnity or otherwise shall in all respects be subordinate and junior in right of payment to the prior indefeasible payment or performance in full of all the Obligations. In addition, any indebtedness of any Guarantor now or hereafter held by any Guarantor is hereby subordinated in right of payment to the prior payment or performance in full of the Obligations and no Guarantor shall demand, sue for, or otherwise attempt to collect any such indebtedness, or prove any claim in competition with the Secured Party in respect of any payment hereunder in bankruptcy or insolvency proceedings of any nature. If any amount shall erroneously be paid to any Guarantor on account of (i) such subrogation, contribution, reimbursement, indemnity or similar right or (ii) any such indebtedness of any Guarantor as borrower of a Guarantor, such amount shall be held in trust for the benefit of the Secured Party and shall forthwith be paid to the Secured Party to be credited against the payment of the Obligations.
(d) Discharge. Each Guarantor covenants and agrees that this Guaranty will not be discharged, except by complete performance of the Obligations.
3 |
(e) Interest. Guarantors will pay on demand interest on all amounts due to the Secured Party under this Guaranty, or arising under any documents, instruments, or agreements relating to any collateral securing this Guaranty, from the time the Secured Party first demands payment of this Guaranty at a rate equal to the highest rate applicable to any of the Obligations after the earlier of (i) demand, or (ii) maturity, or (iii) the occurrence of any event of default under any instrument, document or agreement evidencing the Obligations (but in no event higher than the highest rate of interest which under the circumstances may be charged under applicable law).
(f) Costs and Expenses. Without limiting any obligation of any Guarantor hereunder, each Guarantor agrees, jointly and severally, to pay all reasonable fees and costs (including, without limitation, reasonable attorneys’ fees and expenses, whether or not involving litigation and/or appellate or bankruptcy proceedings) incurred by Secured Party in (i) collecting or securing or attempting to collect or secure this Guaranty or each Convertible Debenture; (ii) defending or prosecuting any actions or proceedings arising out of or relating to the Secured Party’s transactions with the Guarantors.
(g) Indemnification. For said good and valuable consideration, the Guarantors also shall indemnify, defend, and hold the Secured Party, or any agent, employee, officer, attorney, or representative of the Secured Party, harmless of and from any claim brought or threatened against the Secured Party or any such person so indemnified by: any Guarantor; any other obligor or endorser of the Obligations or any other person (as well as from attorneys’ fees and expenses in connection therewith) on account of the Secured Party’s relationship with the Guarantors, or any other obligor or endorser of the Obligations (each of which may be defended, compromised, settled, or pursued by the Secured Party with counsel of the Secured Party’s selection, but at the expense of the undersigned).
2. Additional Guarantors. Pursuant to Section 6.12 of the Security Agreement, each subsidiary of the Guarantors that is formed or acquired after the execution of this Guaranty is required to execute the Guaranty. Such subsidiary shall become a Guarantor hereunder with the same force and effect as if originally named as a Guarantor herein. The execution and delivery of any instrument adding an additional Guarantor as a party to this Guaranty shall not require the consent of any other Guarantor hereunder. The rights and obligations of each Guarantor hereunder shall remain in full force and effect notwithstanding the addition of any new Guarantor as a party to this Guaranty.
3. Representations and Warranties. Each Guarantor hereby represents and warrants to the Secured Party as follows:
(a) each corporate Guarantor has full power, right and authority to enter into and perform its obligations under this Guaranty, and this Guaranty has been duly executed and delivered by each Guarantor and constitutes the valid and binding obligation of each Guarantor and is enforceable against each Guarantor in accordance with its terms.
(b) No permits, approvals or consents of or notifications to (i) any governmental entities, or (ii) any other persons or entities are necessary in connection with the execution, delivery and performance by any Guarantor of this Guaranty and the consummation by each Guarantor of the transactions contemplated hereby.
4 |
(c) Neither the execution and delivery of this Guaranty by any Guarantor nor the performance by them of the transactions contemplated hereby will:
(d) violate or conflict with or result in a breach of any provision of any law, statute, rule, regulation, order, permit, judgment, ruling, injunction, decree or other decision of any court or other tribunal or any governmental entity or agency binding on a Guarantor or his properties, or conflict with or cause an event of default under any contract or agreement of a Guarantor; or
(e) require any authorization, consent, approval, exemption or other action by or notice to any court, administrative or governmental body, person, entity or any other third party.
(f) Each of the Guarantors is solvent, able to pay its debts as they mature, has capital sufficient to carry on its business, and the fair present saleable value of its assets, calculated on a going concern basis, is in excess of the amount of its liabilities (except for certain derivative liabilities related to the Debenture).
(g) Except as set forth on Schedule 3(g), the Guarantors have no pending or threatened litigation, arbitration, actions or proceedings which if adversely decided could reasonably be expected to result in a Material Adverse Effect, individually or in the aggregate.
(h) The Company is not engaged in any business or activity and does not own any asset or property other than (i) the direct or indirect ownership of all outstanding equity interests in the subsidiaries listed in Schedule 6.12 of the Security Agreement, (ii) maintaining its corporate existence, (iii) participating in tax, accounting and other administrative activities as the parent of the consolidated group of companies, (iv) the execution and delivery of the Financing Documents to which it is a party and the performance of its obligations thereunder, and (v) activities incidental to the businesses or activities described in clauses (i) through (iv) of this Section 3(h).
4. Event of Default.
(a) For purposes of this Guaranty, an event of default shall be deemed to have occurred upon an Event of Default under the Security Agreement.
(b) Upon an event of default, all of the obligations of each Guarantor hereunder shall be immediately due and payable without any action on the part of the Secured Party, and the Secured Party shall be entitled to seek and institute any and all remedies available to it.
5. Remedies, Other Obligations, Breaches and Injunctive Relief.
(a) No remedy conferred under this Guaranty upon the Secured Party is intended to be exclusive of any other remedy available to the Secured Party, pursuant to the terms of this Guaranty or otherwise, at law or in equity (including a decree of specific performance and/or other injunctive relief). No single or partial exercise by the Secured Party of any right, power or remedy hereunder shall preclude any other or further exercise thereof.
(b) The failure of the Secured Party to exercise any right or remedy under this Guaranty or otherwise, or delay in exercising such right or remedy, shall not operate as a waiver thereof.
5 |
(c) Every right and remedy of the Guarantors under any document executed in connection with this transaction, including but not limited to this Guaranty, the Loan Instruments, and the Other Loan Documents or under applicable law may be exercised from time to time and as often as may be deemed expedient by the Secured Party.
(d) The Guarantors acknowledge that a breach by a Guarantor of its/his obligations hereunder will cause irreparable harm to the Secured Party and that the remedy at law for any such breach may be inadequate. The Guarantors therefore agree that, in the event of any such breach or threatened breach by the Guarantors, the Secured Party shall be entitled, in addition to all other available remedies, to an injunction restraining any breach, and specific performance without the necessity of showing economic loss and without any bond or other security being required. Nothing herein shall limit Secured Party’s right to pursue actual damages for any failure by a Guarantor to comply with the terms of this Guaranty.
6. Maximum Liability. Notwithstanding any provision herein contained to the contrary, each Guarantor’s liability under this Guaranty shall be limited to an amount not to exceed as of any date of determination the amount which could be claimed by any Secured Party from such Guarantor under this Guaranty without rendering such claim voidable or avoidable under Section 548 of the Bankruptcy Code (11 U.S.C. §§ 101 et seq.) or under any applicable state Uniform Fraudulent Transfer Act, Uniform Fraudulent Conveyance Act or similar statute or common law (the “Avoidance Provisions”) after taking into account, among other things, such Guarantor’s right of contribution and indemnification from each other Guarantor, if any. To the end set forth above, but only to the extent that the Obligations of a Guarantor hereunder (the “Guaranty Obligations”) would otherwise be subject to avoidance under the Avoidance Provisions, if such Guarantor is not deemed to have received valuable consideration, fair value, fair consideration or reasonably equivalent value for the Guaranty Obligations, or if the Guaranty Obligations would render such Guarantor insolvent, or leave such Guarantor with an unreasonably small capital to conduct its business, or cause such Guarantor to have incurred debts (or to have intended to have incurred debts) beyond its ability to pay such debts as they mature, in each case as of the time any of the Guaranty Obligations is deemed to have been incurred for the purposes of the Avoidance Provisions, the maximum Guaranty Obligations for which such Guarantor shall be liable hereunder shall be reduced to that amount which, after giving effect thereto, would not cause the Guaranty Obligations as so reduced, to be subject to avoidance under the Avoidance Provisions.

2 |
(iii) The Company or any subsidiary of the Company shall default in any of its obligations under any other debenture or any mortgage, Forbearance Agreement or other facility, indenture agreement, factoring agreement or other instrument under which there may be issued, or by which there may be secured or evidenced any indebtedness for borrowed money or money due under any long term leasing or factoring arrangement of the Company or any subsidiary of the Company in an amount exceeding $100,000, whether such indebtedness now exists or shall hereafter be created and such default shall result in such indebtedness becoming or being declared due and payable;
(iv) The Common Stock shall cease to be quoted or listed for trading on any Primary Market for a period of five (5) consecutive Trading Days;

3 |
(b) During the time that any portion of this Debenture is outstanding, if any Event of Default has occurred, the full unpaid Principal amount of this Debenture, together with Interest and other amounts owing in respect thereof, to the date of acceleration shall become at the Holder’s election, immediately due and payable in cash. Furthermore, in addition to any other remedies, the Holder shall have the right (but not the obligation) to convert this Debenture at any time after (x) an Event of Default or (y) the Maturity Date at the Conversion Price. The Holder need not provide and the Company hereby waives any presentment, demand, protest or other notice of any kind, (other than required notice of conversion) 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 declaration may be rescinded and annulled by Holder at any time prior to payment hereunder. No such rescission or annulment shall affect any subsequent Event of Default or impair any right consequent thereon.
(3) CONVERSION OF DEBENTURE. This Debenture shall be convertible into shares of Common Stock in the Company, on the terms and conditions set forth in this Section 3.
(a) Conversion Right. Subject to the provisions of Section 3(c), at any time or times on or after the Issuance Date, the Holder shall be entitled to convert any portion of the outstanding and unpaid Conversion Amount (as defined below) into fully paid and nonassessable shares of Common Stock in accordance with Section 3(b), at the Conversion Rate (as defined below). The number of shares of Common Stock issuable upon conversion of any Conversion Amount pursuant to this Section 3(a) shall be determined by dividing (x) such Conversion Amount by (y) the Conversion Price (the “Conversion Rate”). The Company shall not issue any fraction of a share of Common Stock upon any conversion. If the issuance would result in the issuance of a fraction of a share of Common Stock, the Company shall round such fraction of a share of Common Stock up to the nearest whole share. The Company shall pay any and all transfer, stamp and similar taxes that may be payable with respect to the issuance and delivery of Common Stock upon conversion of any Conversion Amount.
(i) “Conversion Amount” means the portion of the Principal and accrued Interest to be converted, redeemed or otherwise with respect to which this determination is being made.
(ii) “Conversion Price” means, as of any Conversion Date (as defined below) or other date of determination, the lesser of (a) $0.0003 (the “Fixed Conversion Price”) or (b) fifty percent (50%) of the lowest daily Volume Weighted Average Price of the Common Stock during the twenty (20) consecutive Trading Days immediately preceding the Conversion Date or other date of determination, as quoted by Bloomberg, LP (the “Market Conversion Price”). The Fixed Conversion Price and the Market Conversion Price are collectively referred to as the “Conversion Price”). The Conversion Price may be adjusted pursuant to the other terms of this Debenture.
4 |
(b) Mechanics of Conversion.
(i) Optional Conversion. To convert any Conversion Amount into shares of Common Stock on any date (a “Conversion Date”), the Holder shall (A) transmit by facsimile (or otherwise deliver), for receipt on or prior to 11:59 p.m., New York Time, on such date, a copy of an executed notice of conversion in the form attached hereto as Exhibit I (the “Conversion Notice”) to the Company and (B) if required by Section 3(b)(iv), surrender this Debenture to a nationally recognized overnight delivery service for delivery to the Company (or an indemnification undertaking reasonably satisfactory to the Company with respect to this Debenture in the case of its loss, theft or destruction). On or before the third Business Day following the date of receipt of a Conversion Notice (the “Share Delivery Date”), the Company shall (X) if legends are not required to be placed on certificates of Common Stock pursuant to the Financing Documents and provided that the Transfer Agent is participating in the Depository Trust Company’s (“DTC”) Fast Automated Securities Transfer Program, credit such aggregate number of shares of Common Stock to which the Holder shall be entitled to the Holder’s or its designee’s balance account with DTC through its Deposit Withdrawal Agent Commission system or (Y) if the Transfer Agent is not participating in the DTC Fast Automated Securities Transfer Program, issue and deliver to the address as specified in the Conversion Notice, a certificate, registered in the name of the Holder or its designee, for the number of shares of Common Stock to which the Holder shall be entitled which certificates shall not bear any restrictive legends unless required pursuant to the Financing Documents. If this Debenture is physically surrendered for conversion and the outstanding Principal of this Debenture is greater than the Principal portion of the Conversion Amount being converted, then the Company shall as soon as practicable and in no event later than three (3) Business Days after receipt of this Debenture and at its own expense, issue and deliver to the holder a new Debenture representing the outstanding Principal not converted. The Person or Persons entitled to receive the shares of Common Stock issuable upon a conversion of this Debenture shall be treated for all purposes as the record holder or holders of such shares of Common Stock upon the transmission of a Conversion Notice.
(ii) Company’s Failure to Timely Convert. If within three (3) Trading Days after the Company’s receipt of the facsimile copy of a Conversion Notice the Company shall fail to issue and deliver a certificate to the Holder or credit the Holder’s balance account with DTC for the number of shares of Common Stock to which the Holder is entitled upon such holder’s conversion of any Conversion Amount (a “Conversion Failure”), and if on or after such Trading Day the Holder purchases (in an open market transaction or otherwise) Common Stock to deliver in satisfaction of a sale by the Holder of Common Stock issuable upon such conversion that the Holder anticipated receiving from the Company (a “Buy-In”), then the Company shall, within three (3) Business Days after the Holder’s request and in the Holder’s discretion, either (i) pay cash to the Holder in an amount equal to the Holder’s total purchase price (including brokerage commissions and other out of pocket expenses, if any) for the shares of Common Stock so purchased (the “Buy-In Price”), at which point the Company’s obligation to deliver such certificate (and to issue such Common Stock) shall terminate, or (ii) promptly honor its obligation to deliver to the Holder a certificate or certificates representing such Common Stock and pay cash to the Holder in an amount equal to the excess (if any) of the Buy-In Price over the product of (A) such number of shares of Common Stock, times (B) the Closing Bid Price on the Conversion Date.
5 |
(iii) Book-Entry. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary set forth herein, upon conversion of any portion of this Debenture in accordance with the terms hereof, the Holder shall not be required to physically surrender this Debenture to the Company unless (A) the full Conversion Amount represented by this Debenture is being converted or (B) the Holder has provided the Company with prior written notice (which notice may be included in a Conversion Notice) requesting reissuance of this Debenture upon physical surrender of this Debenture. The Holder and the Company shall maintain records showing the Principal and Interest converted and the dates of such conversions or shall use such other method, reasonably satisfactory to the Holder and the Company, so as not to require physical surrender of this Debenture upon conversion.
(c) Limitations on Conversions.
(i) Beneficial Ownership. The Company shall not effect any conversions of this Debenture and the Holder shall not have the right to convert any portion of this Debenture hereunder to the extent that after giving effect to such conversion, the Holder, together with any affiliate thereof, would beneficially own (as determined in accordance with Section 13(d) of the Exchange Act and the rules promulgated thereunder) in excess of 9.99% of the number of shares of Common Stock outstanding immediately after giving effect to such conversion. Since the Holder will not be obligated to report to the Company the number of shares of Common Stock it may hold at the time of a conversion hereunder, unless the conversion at issue would result in the issuance of shares of Common Stock in excess of 9.99% of the then outstanding shares of Common Stock without regard to any other shares which may be beneficially owned by the Holder or an affiliate thereof, the Holder shall have the authority and obligation to determine whether the restriction contained in this Section will limit any particular conversion hereunder and to the extent that the Holder determines that the limitation contained in this Section applies, the determination of which portion of the principal amount of this Debenture is convertible shall be the responsibility and obligation of the Holder. If the Holder has delivered a Conversion Notice for a Conversion Amount of this Debenture that, without regard to any other shares that the Holder or its affiliates may beneficially own, would result in the issuance in excess of the permitted amount hereunder, the Company shall notify the Holder of this fact and shall honor the conversion for the maximum principal amount permitted to be converted on such Conversion Date in accordance with Section 3(a) and, any principal amount tendered for conversion in excess of the permitted amount hereunder shall remain outstanding under this Debenture. The provisions of this Section may be waived by a Holder (but only as to itself and not to any other Holder) upon not less than 65 days prior notice to the Company. Other Holders shall be unaffected by any such waiver.
(d) Other Provisions.
(i) The Company shall at all times reserve and keep available out of its authorized Common Stock the full number of shares of Common Stock issuable upon conversion of all outstanding amounts under this Debenture; and within three (3) Business Days following the receipt by the Company of a Holder’s notice that such minimum number of Underlying Shares is not so reserved, the Company shall promptly reserve a sufficient number of shares of Common Stock to comply with such requirement.
6 |
(ii) All calculations under this Section 3 shall be rounded to the nearest $0.0001 or whole share.
(iii) The Company covenants that it will at all times reserve and keep available out of its authorized and unissued shares of Common Stock solely for the purpose of issuance upon conversion of this Debenture and payment of interest on this Debenture, each as herein provided, free from preemptive rights or any other actual contingent purchase rights of persons other than the Holder, not less than such number of shares of the Common Stock as shall (subject to any additional requirements of the Company as to reservation of such shares set forth in this Debenture and the Financing Documents) be issuable (taking into account the adjustments and restrictions set forth herein) upon the conversion of the outstanding principal amount of this Debenture and payment of interest hereunder. The Company covenants that all shares of Common Stock that shall be so issuable shall, upon issue, be duly and validly authorized, issued and fully paid, nonassessable and, if the Underlying Shares Registration Statement has been declared effective under the Securities Act, registered for public sale in accordance with such Underlying Shares Registration Statement.
(iv) Nothing herein shall limit a Holder’s right to pursue actual damages or declare an Event of Default pursuant to Section 2 herein for the Company’s failure to deliver certificates representing shares of Common Stock upon conversion within the period specified herein and such Holder 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, in each case without the need to post a bond or provide other security. 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.
(4) Adjustments to Conversion Price
(a) Adjustment of Conversion Price upon Issuance of Common Stock. If the Company, at any time while this Debenture is outstanding, issues or sells, or in accordance with this Section 4(a) is deemed to have issued or sold, any shares of Common Stock, excluding shares of Common Stock deemed to have been issued or sold by the Company in connection with any Excluded Securities, (i) for a consideration per share (the “New Issuance Price”) less than a price equal to the Fixed Conversion Price in effect immediately prior to such issue or sale (such price the “Applicable Price”) (the foregoing a “Dilutive Issuance”), then immediately after such Dilutive Issuance the Fixed Conversion Price then in effect shall be reduced to an amount equal to the New Issuance Price, or (ii) with a price that is based on the market price at some time in the future and the formula for determining the price (the “Variable Issuance Price”) is more favorable to the Holder, in the Holder’s reasonable interpretation, than the Market Conversion Price, then immediately after such issuance the Market Conversion Price then in effect shall be changed to reflect the pricing mechanism used in such issuance. For purposes of determining the adjusted Conversion Price under this Section 4(a), the following shall be applicable:
7 |
(i) Issuance of Options. If the Company in any manner grants or sells any Options 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 or exchange or exercise of any Convertible Securities issuable upon exercise of 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, the “lowest price per share for which one share of Common Stock is issuable upon the exercise of any such Option or upon conversion or exchange or exercise of any Convertible Securities issuable upon exercise of such Option” shall be equal to 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 granting or sale of the Option, upon exercise of the Option and upon conversion or exchange or exercise of any Convertible Security issuable upon exercise of such Option. No further adjustment of the Conversion Price shall be made upon the actual issuance of such share of Common Stock or of such Convertible Securities upon the exercise of such Options or upon the actual issuance of such Common Stock upon conversion or exchange or exercise of such Convertible Securities.
(ii) Issuance of Convertible Securities. If the Company in any manner issues or sells any Convertible Securities and the lowest price per share for which one share of Common Stock is issuable upon such conversion or exchange or exercise 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 Convertible Securities for such price per share. For the purposes of this Section, the “lowest price per share for which one share of Common Stock is issuable upon such conversion or exchange or exercise” shall be equal to 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 issuance or sale of the Convertible Security and upon the conversion or exchange or exercise of such Convertible Security. No further adjustment of the Conversion Price shall be made upon the actual issuance of such share of Common Stock upon conversion or exchange or exercise of such Convertible Securities, and if any such issue or sale of such Convertible Securities is made upon exercise of any Options for which adjustment of the Conversion Price had been or are to be made pursuant to other provisions of this Section, no further adjustment of the Conversion Price shall be made by reason of such issue or sale.
(iii) Change in Option Price or Rate of Conversion. If the purchase price provided for in any Options, the additional consideration, if any, payable upon the issue, conversion, exchange or exercise of any Convertible Securities, or the rate at which any Convertible Securities are convertible into or exchangeable or exercisable for Common Stock changes at any time, the Conversion Price in effect at the time of such change shall be adjusted to the Conversion Price which would have been in effect at such time had such Options or Convertible Securities provided for such changed purchase price, additional consideration or changed conversion rate, as the case may be, at the time initially granted, issued or sold. For purposes of this Section, if the terms of any Option or Convertible Security that was outstanding as of the Issuance Date are changed in the manner described in the immediately preceding sentence, then such Option or Convertible Security and the Common Stock deemed issuable upon exercise, conversion or exchange thereof shall be deemed to have been issued as of the date of such change. No adjustment shall be made if such adjustment would result in an increase of the Conversion Price then in effect.
8 |
(iv) Calculation of Consideration Received. In case any Option is issued in connection with the issue or sale of other securities of the Company, together comprising one integrated transaction in which no specific consideration is allocated to such Options by the parties thereto, the Options will be deemed to have been issued for the difference of (x) the aggregate fair market value of such Options and other securities issued or sold in such integrated transaction, less (y) the fair market value of the securities other than such Option, issued or sold in such transaction and the other securities issued or sold in such integrated transaction will be deemed to have been issued or sold for the balance of the consideration received by the Company. If any Common Stock, Options or Convertible Securities are issued or sold or deemed to have been issued or sold for cash, the consideration received therefor will be deemed to be the gross amount raised by the Company; provided, however, that such gross amount is not greater than 110% of the net amount received by the Company therefor. If any Common Stock, Options or Convertible Securities are issued or sold for a consideration other than cash, the amount of the consideration other than cash received by the Company will be the fair value of such consideration, except where such consideration consists of securities, in which case the amount of consideration received by the Company will be the Closing Bid Price of such securities on the date of receipt. If any Common Stock, Options or Convertible Securities are issued to the owners of the non-surviving entity in connection with any merger in which the Company is the surviving entity, 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 Common Stock, Options or Convertible Securities, as the case may be. The fair value of any consideration other than cash or securities 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) Business Days after the tenth (10th) day following the Valuation Event by an independent, reputable appraiser jointly selected by the Company and the Holder. The determination of such appraiser shall be deemed binding upon all parties absent manifest error and the fees and expenses of such appraiser shall be borne by the Company.
(v) Record Date. If the Company takes a record of the holders of Common Stock for the purpose of entitling them (A) to receive a dividend or other distribution payable in Common Stock, Options or in Convertible Securities or (B) to subscribe for or purchase Common Stock, Options or Convertible Securities, then such record date will be deemed to be the date of the issue or sale of the Common Stock deemed to have been issued or sold upon the declaration of such dividend or the making of such other distribution or the date of the granting of such right of subscription or purchase, as the case may be.
(b) Adjustment of Conversion Price upon Subdivision of Common Stock. If the Company, at any time while this Debenture is outstanding, shall (a) pay a stock dividend or otherwise make a distribution or distributions on shares of its Common Stock or any other equity or equity equivalent securities payable in shares of Common Stock, (b) subdivide outstanding shares of Common Stock into a larger number of shares, or (c) issue by reclassification of shares of the Common Stock any shares of capital stock of the Company, then the Conversion 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 before such event and of which the denominator shall be the number of shares of Common Stock outstanding after such event. Any adjustment made pursuant to this Section 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. The Fixed Conversion Price shall not be adjusted for any combination of outstanding shares of Common Stock into a smaller number of shares (such as a reverse stock split or anything having a similar effect).
9 |
(c) Purchase Rights. If at any time the Company grants, issues or sells any Options, Convertible Securities or rights to purchase stock, warrants, securities or other property pro rata to the record holders of any class 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 conversion of this Debenture (without taking into account any limitations or restrictions on the convertibility of this Debenture) immediately before the date on which a record is taken for the grant, issuance or sale of such Purchase Rights, or, if no such record is taken, the date as of which the record holders of Common Stock are to be determined for the grant, issue or sale of such Purchase Rights.
(d) Other Events. If any event occurs of the type contemplated by the provisions of this Section 4 but not expressly provided for by such provisions (including, without limitation, the granting of stock appreciation rights, phantom stock rights or other rights with equity features), then the Company’s Board of Directors will make an appropriate adjustment in the Conversion Price so as to protect the rights of the Holder under this Debenture; provided that no such adjustment will increase the Conversion Price as otherwise determined pursuant to this Section 4.
(e) Other Corporate Events. In addition to and not in substitution for any other rights hereunder, prior to the consummation of any Fundamental Transaction pursuant to which holders of shares of Common Stock are entitled to receive securities or other assets with respect to or in exchange for shares of Common Stock (a “Corporate Event”), the Company shall make appropriate provision to insure that the Holder will thereafter have the right to receive upon a conversion of this Debenture, at the Holder’s option, (i) in addition to the shares of Common Stock receivable upon such conversion, such securities or other assets to which the Holder would have been entitled with respect to such shares of Common Stock had such shares of Common Stock been held by the Holder upon the consummation of such Corporate Event (without taking into account any limitations or restrictions on the convertibility of this Debenture) or (ii) in lieu of the shares of Common Stock otherwise receivable upon such conversion, such securities or other assets received by the holders of shares of Common Stock in connection with the consummation of such Corporate Event in such amounts as the Holder would have been entitled to receive had this Debenture initially been issued with conversion rights for the form of such consideration (as opposed to shares of Common Stock) at a conversion rate for such consideration commensurate with the Conversion Rate. Provision made pursuant to the preceding sentence shall be in a form and substance satisfactory to the Required Holders. The provisions of this Section shall apply similarly and equally to successive Corporate Events and shall be applied without regard to any limitations on the conversion or redemption of this Debenture.
10 |
(f) Whenever the Conversion Price is adjusted pursuant to Section 4 hereof, the Company shall promptly mail to the Holder a notice setting forth the Conversion Price after such adjustment and setting forth a brief statement of the facts requiring such adjustment.
(g) In case of any (1) merger or consolidation of the Company or any subsidiary of the Company with or into another Person, or (2) sale by the Company or any subsidiary of the Company of more than one-half of the assets of the Company in one or a series of related transactions, a Holder shall have the right to (A) exercise any rights under Section 2(b), (B) convert the aggregate amount of this Debenture then outstanding into the shares of stock and other securities, cash and property receivable upon or deemed to be held by holders of Common Stock following such merger, consolidation or sale, and such Holder shall be entitled upon such event or series of related events to receive such amount of securities, cash and property as the shares of Common Stock into which such aggregate principal amount of this Debenture could have been converted immediately prior to such merger, consolidation or sales would have been entitled, or (C) in the case of a merger or consolidation, require the surviving entity to issue to the Holder a convertible Debenture with a principal amount equal to the aggregate principal amount of this Debenture then held by such Holder, plus all accrued and unpaid interest and other amounts owing thereon, which such newly issued convertible Debenture shall have terms identical (including with respect to conversion) to the terms of this Debenture, and shall be entitled to all of the rights and privileges of the Holder of this Debenture set forth herein and the agreements pursuant to which this Debentures were issued. In the case of clause (C), the conversion price applicable for the newly issued shares of convertible preferred stock or convertible Debentures shall be based upon the amount of securities, cash and property that each share of Common Stock would receive in such transaction and the Conversion Price in effect immediately prior to the effectiveness or closing date for such transaction. The terms of any such merger, sale or consolidation shall include such terms so as to continue to give the Holder the right to receive the securities, cash and property set forth in this Section upon any conversion or redemption following such event. This provision shall similarly apply to successive such events.
(5) REISSUANCE OF THIS DEBENTURE.

This Agreement is non-exclusive.
RECITALS
WHEREAS, Consultant has significant experience in the preparation of reports to be filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”); including, but not limited to Registration Statements, Quarterly Reports, Annual Reports, Current Reports, preparation of consolidated financial statements, and filings of other accounting and financial reporting forms to regulatory agencies.
NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the mutual promises herein contained, the Parties hereto hereby agree as follows:
1. CONDITIONS. This Agreement will not take effect, and Consultant will have no obligation to provide any service whatsoever, unless and until the Company sends a signed copy of this Agreement to Consultant (either by mail, email or facsimile copy). The Company shall be truthful with Consultant in regard to any relevant material regarding the Company, verbally or otherwise, or this entire Agreement will terminate and all consideration paid shall be forfeited without further notice.
Upon execution of this Agreement, the Company agrees to cooperate with Consultant in carrying out the purposes of this Agreement, keep Consultant informed of any developments of importance pertaining to the Company’s business and abide by this Agreement in its entirety.
2. TERM OF AGREEMENT. This Agreement shall be in full force and effect commencing on June 10, 2021 and shall remain in effect for one (1) year or until the Company’s Annual Report for the year ended December 31, 2021 is filed with OTC Markets or the SEC. Either Party shall have the right to terminate this Agreement without notice in the event of the bankruptcy, insolvency, or assignment for the benefit of creditors of the other Party.

(a) Transactional Business
(i) Preparation of the Company’s Registration Statement(s);
(ii) Preparation of the Company’s Quarterly Reports for the periods ended March 31, 2021, June 30, 2021 and September 30, 2021; and

1 |
4. STANDARD OF PERFORMANCE. Consultant shall devote such time and efforts to the affairs of the Company as is reasonably necessary to render the services contemplated by this Agreement. Consultant is not responsible for the performance of any services that may be rendered hereunder if the Company fails to provide the requested information in writing prior thereto. The services of Consultant shall not include the rendering of any legal opinions or the performance of any work that is in the ordinary purview of a certified public accountant. Consultant cannot guarantee results on behalf of the Company but shall use commercially reasonable efforts in providing the services listed above. Consultant’s duty is to identify prospective acquisition/joint venture companies for the Company. Consultant will in no way act as a “broker-dealer” under state securities laws. Because all final decisions pertaining to any particular investment are to be made by the Company, the Company may be required to communicate directly with potential acquisition/joint venture prospective companies.
5. COMPENSATION TO CONSULTANT. As Consultant’s entire compensation for its performance under this Agreement, the Company shall pay Consultant a total of $45,000 payable in three (3) equal tranches as follows: (i) $15,000 payable upon the Company’s first capital raise; (ii) $15,000 payable upon the Company’s second capital raise; and (iii) $15,000 payable on or before October 31, 2021. In the event the Company is not successful in completing any capital raises during the term of this Agreement, the Consultant may elect to receive shares of common stock at a 50% discount to the Closing stock price on the day the shares are issued to the Consultant. The Consultant will be solely responsible for all tax returns and payments required to be filed with or made to any federal, state or local tax authority with respect to the Consultant’s performance of services and receipt of fees under this Agreement. The Company will regularly report amounts paid, if any, to the Consultant by filing Form 1099-MISC and/or other appropriate form with the Internal Revenue Service as required by law. Because the Consultant is an independent contractor, the Company will not withhold or make payments for social security; make consulting contract insurance or disability insurance contributions; or obtain worker’s compensation insurance on the Consultant’s behalf. The Consultant agrees to accept exclusive liability for complying with all applicable state and federal laws governing self-employed individuals, including obligations such as payment of taxes, social security, disability and other contributions based on fees paid to the Consultant under this Agreement. The Consultant hereby agrees to indemnify and defend the Company against any and all such taxes or contributions, including penalties and interest.
6. CONFIDENTIAL INFORMATION. The Consultant and the Company acknowledge that each will have access to proprietary information regarding the business operations of the other and agree to keep all such information secret and confidential and not to use or disclose any such information to any individual or organization without the non-disclosing Parties prior written consent. It is hereby agreed that from time-to-time Consultant and the Company may designate certain disclosed information as confidential for purposes of this Agreement.
7. INDEMNIFICATION. Each Party (the “Indemnifying Party”) agrees to indemnify, defend, and hold harmless the other Party (the “Indemnified Party”) from and against any and all claims, damages, and liabilities, including any and all expense and costs, legal or otherwise, caused by the negligent act or omission of the Indemnifying Party, its subcontractors, agents, or employees, incurred by the Indemnified Party in the investigation and defense of any claim, demand, or action arising out of the work performed under this Agreement; including breach of the Indemnifying Party of this Agreement. The Indemnifying Party shall not be liable for any claims, damages, or liabilities caused by the sole negligence of the Indemnified Party, its subcontractors, agents, or employees.
2 |
The Indemnified Party shall notify promptly the Indemnifying Party of the existence of any claim, demand, or other matter to which the Indemnifying Party’s indemnification obligations would apply, and shall give them a reasonable opportunity to settle or defend the same at their own expense and with counsel of their own selection, provided that the Indemnified Party shall at all times also have the right to fully participate in the defense. If the Indemnifying Party, within a reasonable time after this notice, fails to take appropriate steps to settle or defend the claim, demand, or the matter, the Indemnified Party shall, upon written notice, have the right, but not the obligation, to undertake such settlement or defense and to compromise or settle the claim, demand, or other matter on behalf, for the account, and at the risk, of the Indemnifying Party.
The rights and obligations of the Parties under this Article shall be binding upon and inure to the benefit of any successors, assigns, and heirs of the Parties.
8. COVENANTS OF CONSULTANT. Consultant covenants and agrees with the Company that, in performing Consulting Services under this Agreement, Consultant will:

This Note is a duly authorized Fixed Convertible Promissory Note of CoroWare, Inc., a corporation duly organized and existing under the laws of the State of Delaware (the “Company”), designated as the Company’s 10% Fixed Convertible Promissory Note due July 19, 2022 (“Maturity Date”) in the face amount of $105,000 (the “Note”).
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 $105,000 (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 not been repaid or converted into the Company’s Common Stock (the “Common Stock”), in accordance with the terms hereof. The sum of $100,000 shall be remitted and delivered to the Company, and $5,000 shall be retained by the Holder through an original issue discount (the “OID”) for due diligence and legal bills related to this transaction. The OID is set at 5% of any consideration paid. The Company covenants that within __________ months of the Effective Date of the Note, it shall utilize approximately $100,000 of the proceeds in the manner set forth on Schedule 1, attached hereto (the “Use of Proceeds”), and shall promptly provide evidence thereof to Holder, in sufficient detail as reasonably requested by Holder.
In addition to the “guaranteed” interest referenced above, and upon the occurrence of an Event of Default (as defined in Section 3.00(a)), additional interest will accrue from the date of the Event of Default at the rate equal to the lower of 20% per annum or the highest rate permitted by law (the “Default Rate”).
This Note will become effective only upon the execution by both parties, including the execution of Exhibits B, C, D, E, Schedule 1 (collectively, the “Exhibits”), and the Irrevocable Transfer Agent Instructions (the “Date of Execution”) and delivery of the initial payment of consideration by the Holder (the “Effective Date”). The Company acknowledges and agrees the Exhibits are material provisions of this Note.
For purposes hereof the following terms shall have the meanings ascribed to them below:
“Business Day” shall mean any day other than a Saturday, Sunday or a day on which commercial banks in the City of New York are authorized or required by law or executive order to remain closed.
“Fixed Conversion Price” shall be equal to $0.001.
“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) all guaranteed and other accrued but unpaid interest hereunder, (iii) any fees due hereunder, (iv) liquidated damages, and (v) any default payments owing under the Note, in each case previously paid or added to the Principal Amount.
“Principal Market” shall refer to the primary exchange or trading platform on which the Company’s common stock is traded or quoted.
“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 Repayment.
(a) The Company may pay this Note, in whole or in part, in cash or in other good funds, according to the following schedule:
Days Since Effective Date | Payment Amount | |
Under 60 | 120% of Principal Amount so paid | |
61-120 | 130% of Principal Amount so paid | |
121-180 | 140% of Principal Amount so paid |
(b) After 180 days from the Effective Date, the Company may not pay this Note, in whole or in part, in cash or in other good funds, without prior written consent from Holder, which consent may be withheld, delayed, denied, or conditioned in Holder’s sole and absolute discretion. Whenever any amount expressed to be due by the terms of this Note is due on any day that is not a Business Day, the same shall instead be due on the next succeeding day that is a Business Day. Upon the occurrence of an Event of Default, the Company may not pay the Note, in whole or in part, in cash or in other good funds without written consent of the Holder, which consent may be withheld, delayed, denied, or conditioned in Holder’s sole and absolute discretion. Further, the Company shall provide the Holder with two weeks’ prior written notice of the Company’s determination to pay any or all of its obligations hereunder. During such two-week period, the Holder may exercise any or all of its conversion rights hereunder. In the event that the Holder does not exercise its conversion rights in respect of any or all of such noticed, prospective payment, the Company shall tender the full amount set forth in such notice (less any amount in respect of which the Holder has exercised its conversion rights) to the Holder within 2 Business Days following the Holder’s exercise (or notification to the Company of non-exercise) of the Holder’s conversion rights in respect of the amount set forth in such notice. Any such payment by the Company in connection with this provision shall be deemed to have been made on the date that the Holder first receives the above-referenced notice.
Section 2.00 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 at the Conversion Price (defined below), but not to exceed the Restricted Ownership Percentage, as defined in Section 2.00(f). 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 (the “1933 Act”) 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 Depository Trust Company’s (“DTC”) Fast Automated Securities Transfer (“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 Deposits and Withdrawal at Custodian (“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, one time the number of shares of Common Stock as shall be issuable (taking into account the adjustments under this Section 2.00, 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 2.00(e) will result in a default of the Note.
(f) Conversion Limitation. The Holder will not submit a conversion to the Company that would result in the Holder beneficially owning more than 9.99% of the then total outstanding shares of the Company (“Restricted Ownership Percentage”).
(g) Conversion Delays. If the Company fails to deliver shares in accordance with the timeframe stated in Section 2.00(c), 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 of the Company 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 3.00 Defaults and Remedies.
(a) Events of Default. An “Event of Default” is: (i) a default in payment of any amount due hereunder; (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) if the Company does not issue the press release or file the Supplemental Information statement with www.otcmarkets.com in accordance with the provisions and the deadlines referenced Section 6.00(j); (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; (iv) any representation or warranty of the Company in this Note that is found to have been incorrect in any material respect when made, including, without limitation, the Exhibits; (vi) failure of the Company to remain compliant with DTC, thus incurring a “chilled” status with DTC; (vii) 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; (viii) if the Company is subject to any Bankruptcy Event; (ix) 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; (x) failure of the Company to remain in good standing under the laws of its state of domicile; (xi) 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; (xii) the Company’s filing with the United States Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) a Certification and Notice of Termination of Registration Under Section 12(g) of The Securities Exchange Act of 1934 or Suspension of Duty to File Reports Under Sections 13 and 15(d) of The Securities Exchange Act of 1934 on Form 15; (xiii) failure by the Company to maintain the Required Reserve in accordance with the terms of Section 2.00(e); (xiv) failure of Company’s Common Stock to maintain a closing bid price in its Principal Market for more than 3 consecutive Trading Days; (xv) any delisting from a Principal Market for any reason; (xvi) failure by Company to pay any of its transfer agent fees in excess of $2,000 or to maintain a transfer agent of record; (xvii) failure by Company to notify Holder of a change in transfer agent within 24 hours of such change; (xviii) any trading suspension or revocation of the registration of Company’s class of Common Stock imposed by the SEC under Sections 12(j) or 12(k) of the 1934 Act; (xix) 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 obligations under Section 13 or 15(d) of the 1934 Act, requirements for XBRL filings, and requirements for disclosure of financial statements on its website; (xx) failure of the Company to abide by the Use of Proceeds or failure of the Company to inform the Holder of a change in the Use of Proceeds; or (xxi) failure of the Company to abide by the terms of the right of first refusal contained in Section 6.00(l).
(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 40% 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. 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 3.00(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 Company’s failure to timely deliver certificates representing shares of Common Stock upon conversion of the Note as required pursuant to the terms hereof.
Section 4.00 Representations and Warranties of Holder.
Holder hereby represents and warrants to the Company that:
(a) Holder is an “accredited investor,” as such term is defined in Regulation D of the 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 limited liability company action has been taken on the part of the Holder, its officers, directors, managers and members necessary for the authorization, execution and delivery of this Note. The Holder has taken all limited liability company 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 5.00 Representations, Warranties and Amendments.
The Company, for itself, and for its affiliates, successors and assigns, hereby acknowledges, represents, warrants and agrees as follows:
(a) The Company has full power and authority to enter into this Note and to incur and perform all obligations and covenants contained herein, all of which have been duly authorized by all proper and necessary action.

(b) All understandings, representations, warranties and recitals contained or expressed in this Note are true, accurate, complete, and correct in all respects. The Company acknowledges and agrees that Holder has been induced in part to enter into this Note based upon Holder’s justifiable reliance on the truth, accuracy, and completeness of all understandings, representations, warranties, and recitals contained in the Note.
(c) No Bad Actor. No officer or director of the Company would be disqualified under Rule 506(d) of the 1933 Act, 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.
(d) The Company hereby acknowledges that it has freely and voluntarily entered into the Note after an adequate opportunity and sufficient period of time to review, analyze, and discuss (i) all terms and conditions of this the Note, (ii) any and all other documents executed and delivered in connection with the transactions contemplated by the Note, and (iii) all factual and legal matters relevant to the Note and/or any and all such other documents, with counsel freely and independently selected by the Company (or had the opportunity to be represented by counsel).

The Company agrees that it will not enter into a convertible debt financing transaction, including 3(a)(9) and 3(a)(10) transactions, with any party other than the Holder for a period of 90 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.
(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, terms addressing maturity, 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 and interpreted in accordance with, the laws of the state of New York without regard to any conflicts of laws or provisions thereof that would otherwise require the application of the law of any other jurisdiction.

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
(h) Counterparts. The Note may be executed in any number of counterparts with the same effect as if all signing parties had signed the same document. All counterparts shall be construed together and constitute the same instrument. The exchange of copies of the Note and of signature pages by facsimile transmission or other electronic transmission (including email) shall constitute effective execution and delivery of the Note as to the parties and may be used in lieu of the original Note for all purposes. Signatures of the parties transmitted by facsimile transmission or other electronic transmission (including email) shall be deemed to be their original signatures for all purposes.
(i) Usury. If it shall be found that any interest or other amount deemed interest due hereunder violates any applicable law governing usury, the applicable rate of interest due hereunder shall automatically be lowered to equal the maximum rate of interest permitted under applicable law. The Company covenants (to the extent that it may lawfully do so) that it will not seek to claim or take advantage of any law that would prohibit or forgive the Company from paying all or a portion of the principal, fees, liquidated damages or interest on this Note.
(j) Securities Laws Disclosure; Publicity. The Company shall (a) by 9:30 a.m. Eastern Time on the Trading Day immediately following the Date of Execution, issue a press release disclosing the material terms of the transactions contemplated hereby, and (b) file a Supplemental Information statement with www.otcmarkets.com within the 4 days following the Effective Date. From and after the filing of such statement, 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 6.00(j) will result in a default of the Note.
(k) Attempted Below-par Issuance. In the event that the Holder delivers a Conversion Notice to the Company and, if as of such date, (i) the Conversion Price would be less than par value of the Company’s Common Stock and (ii) within three business days of the delivery of the Conversion Notice, the Company shall not have reduced its par value such that all of the requested conversion transaction may then be accomplished, then the Company and the Holder shall utilize the following conversion protocol for Par Value Adjustment. The Holder shall transmit to the Company: (X) a “preliminary” Conversion Notice for the full number of shares of Common Stock that would be issued at the Conversion Price without regard to any below-par value conversion issues; followed by (Y) a “par value” Conversion Notice for the number of shares of Common Stock with the Conversion Price increased from the “preliminary” Conversion Price to a Conversion Price at par value; and, finally, (Z) a “liquidated damages” Conversion Notice for that number of shares of Common Stock that represents the difference between the “preliminary” Conversion Notice full number of shares and the “par value” Conversion Notice limited number of shares. The Conversion Price of such “liquidated damages Common Shares” would be the par value of the Common Stock. Accordingly, through this protocol, the Company would issue, in two transactions, an amount of shares of its Common Stock equivalent to the full number of shares of Common Stock that would have been issued in accordance with the “preliminary” Conversion Notice without regard to any below-par value conversion issues. In the event that the Holder is precluded from exercising any or all of its conversion rights hereunder as a result of a proposed “below par” conversion, the Company agrees that, in lieu of actual damages for such failure, liquidated damages may be assessed and recovered by the Holder without being required to present any evidence of the amount or character of actual damages sustained by reason thereof. The amount of such liquidated damages shall be an amount equivalent to the trading price utilized in the “preliminary” Conversion Notice multiplied by the number of shares calculated on the “liquidated damages” Conversion Notice. Such amount shall be assessed and become immediately due and payable to the Holder (at its election) in the form of a (i) cash payment, (ii) an addition to the Principal Sum of this Note, or (iii) the immediate issuance of that number of shares of Common Stock as calculated on the “liquidated damages” Conversion Notice. Such liquidated damages are intended to represent estimated actual damages and are not intended to be a penalty, but, by virtue of their genesis and subject to the election of the Holder (as set forth in the immediately preceding sentence), will be automatically added to the Principal Sum of the Note and tack back to the Effective Date for purposes of Rule 144, as the Company’s failure to maintain the par value of its Common Stock at an amount that would not result in a “below par” conversion failure is equivalent to a default as of the Issuance Date of the Note.
(l) Right of First Refusal. From and after the date of this Note and at all times hereafter while the Note is outstanding, the Parties agree that, in the event that the Company receives any written or oral proposal (the “Proposal”) containing one or more offers to provide additional capital or equity or debt financing (the “Financing Amount”), the Company agrees that it shall provide a copy of all documents received relating to the Proposal together with a complete and accurate description of the Proposal to the Holder and all amendments, revisions, and supplements thereto (the “Proposal Documents”) no later than 3 business days from the receipt of the Proposal Documents. Following receipt of the Proposal Documents from the Company, the Holder shall have the right (the “Right of First Refusal”), but not the obligation, for a period of 5 business days thereafter (the “Exercise Period”), to invest, at similar or better terms to the Company, an amount equal to or greater than the Financing Amount, upon written notice to the Company that the Holder is exercising the Right of First Refusal provided hereby. In furtherance of the Right of First Refusal, the Company agrees that it will cooperate and assist the Holder in conducting a due diligence investigation of the Company and its corporate and financial affairs and promptly provide the Holder with information and documents that the Holder may reasonably request so as to allow the Holder to make an informed investment decision. However, the Company and the Holder agree that the Holder shall have no more than 5 business days from and after the expiration of the Exercise Period to exercise its Right of First Refusal hereunder. This Right of First Refusal shall extend to all purchases of debt held by, or assigned to or from, current stockholders, vendors, or creditors, all transactions under Sections 3(a)(9) and/or 3(a)(10) or the 1933 Act, as amended, and all equity line-of-credit transactions. In the event that the Company does enter into, or makes any issuance of Common Stock related to a 3(a)(9) Transaction or a 3(a)(10) Transaction while this note is outstanding, without giving Right of First Refusal to the Holder, a liquidated damages charge of 25% of the outstanding principal balance of this Note, but not less than $25,000, will be assessed and will become immediately due and payable to the Holder at its election in the form of cash payment or addition to the balance of this Note. 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.

Exhibit 10.9
SETTLEMENT AGREEMENT
This SETTLEMENT AGREEMENT (this “Agreement”) is dated as of July ___, 2021, by and among (i) COROWARE, INC. (“CoroWare”), (ii) COROWARE TECHNOLOGIES, INC. (“CT”), (iii) ROBOTIC WORKSPACE TECHNOLOGIES, INC. (“RWT”) (CoroWare, CT and RWT shall be collectively referred to herein as the “Obligors”), and (ii) YA GLOBAL INVESTMENTS, L.P., formerly known as Cornell Capital Partners, LP, a Cayman Island exempt limited partnership (“YA”), and having offices located at 1012 Springfield Avenue, Mountainside, New Jersey 07092.
Background
Reference is made to certain financing arrangements entered into by and among the Obligors and YA evidenced by, among other things, the documents, instruments, and agreements listed in the attached Schedule 1 (collectively, together with all other documents, instruments, and agreements executed in connection therewith or related thereto, the “Financing Documents”), including, without limitation, that certain Amended, Restated and Consolidated Secured Convertible Debenture (the “Convertible Debenture”) dated as of February 5, 2016 in the original principal balance of $2,829,690.
The Obligors acknowledge and agree that one or more Defaults and/or Events of Default (collectively, the “Stated Defaults”) have occurred under the Financing Documents prior to the date hereof as a result of the Obligors’ failure to pay amounts due under the Financing Documents as and when due and failure to reserve and issue to YA shares of CoroWare’s common stock. As of July 19, 2021, the Obligors are indebted to YA under the Convertible Debenture for an aggregate of $5,192,491.50 (the “Outstanding Balance”).
-1- |
The Parties hereto have agreed to resolve all issues among them and have reached a compromise, and settlement as to all disputes or claims existing and potentially existing between themselves, subject to YA receiving the full Settlement Amount set forth in Paragraph 1 below.
Accordingly, for good and valuable consideration, the receipt and sufficiency of which are hereby acknowledged, it is hereby agreed by and among the Obligors and YA as follows:
RELEASE
In consideration of the mutual execution of this Agreement and the releases and promises made in the Agreement by the Parties, the sufficiency of which is acknowledged, the Parties agree as follows:
1. Settlement.
a. | Settlement Amount. CoroWare hereby agrees to issue to YA on one or more occasions an aggregate of 2,250,000,000 shares of CoroWare’s common stock (the “Common Shares”), in full and final settlement of all claims YA may have against the Obligors, its subsidiaries, directors, officers, employees, successors or assigns (the “Settlement Amount”). YA shall be entitled to the issuance of the number Common Shares specified in one or more Conversion Notices (which such Conversion Notices shall not exceed an aggregate of 2,250,000,000 Common Shares) within three (3) business days after the date specified in each Conversion Notice. Conversion Notices shall be substantially in the form of Exhibit “A,” and CoroWare shall cause its transfer agent, Empire Stock Transfer, or any subsequent transfer agent, to issue such Common Shares in accordance with YA’s written instructions, which may be set forth on the Conversion Notices. As a condition of this Agreement, CoroWare, Empire Stock Transfer and YA are entering into Irrevocable Transfer Agent Instructions governing the issuance of the Common Shares in accordance with this Agreement. |
-2- |
b. | No Restrictive Legends. All Common Shares to be issued to YA hereunder shall be issued without restrictive legends in reliance on the legal opinion of YA’s legal counsel being delivered on the date hereof to CoroWare’s transfer agent. CoroWare covenants and agrees that it has consulted with its own legal counsel in connection with this Agreement, its obligations to issue the Common Shares to YA without restrictive legends, and that YA may freely sell any Common Shares issued to it. After such consultation, CoroWare is satisfied that such issuances of Common Shares to YA are, and will be, in compliance with applicable securities laws and SEC rules and regulations promulgated thereunder. Accordingly, CoroWare agrees and covenants that it shall not take any position (legal or otherwise) inconsistent with the foregoing. |
c. | The outstanding balance owed by the Obligors to YA as set forth in the recitals hereto (with no interest accruing thereon so long as there is no default by an Obligor under this Agreement) shall be credited by the amounts converted into Common Shares under the Convertible Debenture as specified in each Conversions Notice; provided that any outstanding balance remaining after the issuance by CoroWare to YA of an aggregate of 2,250,000,000 Common Shares shall be released in accordance with Paragraph 3 hereof. |
d. | Ownership Cap. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement, YA’s right to convert any part of the Outstanding Balance shall be subject to the limitations set forth in Section 3(c)(i) of the Convertible Debenture. |
e. | Default. Any failure by CoroWare or any Obligor to strictly comply with the terms of this Agreement (including, without limitation, the failure to timely issue any Common Shares, the failure to issue Common Shares without restrictive legends, or interfering with YA’s ability to sell the Common Shares) shall constitute a default. Upon such a default, YA shall be excused from performing any obligations under this Agreement or the Financing Documents (except for the limitations set forth in Section 3(c)(i) of the Convertible Debenture) and may enforce any provisions set forth in this Agreement and/or any Financing Documents, including, without limitation, seeking specific performance without the necessity of posting any bond or security of any nature and/or seeking to collect the full outstanding balance owed by the Obligors to YA as set forth in the recitals hereto, plus interest accruing after the date hereof at a rate of 18% per year from the date of any default. |
-3- |
2. Release by CoroWare: In consideration for the covenants of YA as set forth in this Agreement, effective on the date hereof, each Obligor and each of their respective subsidiaries, representatives, attorneys, executors, administrators, successors, and assigns (collectively the “CoroWare Affiliates”) release, acquit, and forever discharge YA and all of its current and former affiliates, subsidiaries and parent entities, and its and their owners, officers, directors, servants, vendors, agents, customers, employees and former employees, insurers, contractors, representatives, and attorneys past, present and future, and all persons acting under, by, through, or in concert with any of them (collectively “YA Releasees”) from any and all claims, demands, judgments, damages, expenses, actions, or causes of action, known or unknown, from the beginning of time to the Effective Date, including, without limitation, any and all claims arising under, in connection with or related to, the Financing Documents or the trading by YA or the YA Releasees in CoroWare’s common stock.
3. Release by YA: In consideration for the covenants of CoroWare as set forth in this Agreement, and effective upon YA’s timely receipt of the full Settlement Amount (provided that no Obligor has defaulted hereunder), YA, and its subsidiaries, representatives, attorneys, executors, administrators, successors, and assigns (collectively the “YA Affiliates”) release, acquit, and forever discharge the Obligors and all of its current and former affiliates, subsidiaries and parent entities, and its and their owners, officers, directors, servants, vendors, agents, customers, employees and former employees, insurers, contractors, representatives, and attorneys past, present and future, and all persons acting under, by, through, or in concert with any of them (collectively “CoroWare Releasees”) from any and all claims, demands, judgments, damages, expenses, actions, security interests, or causes of action, known or unknown, from the beginning of time to the Effective Date, including, without limitation, any and all obligations they may have to one another under any of the Financing Documents. Only after the effectiveness of the release set forth in Paragraph 3, each Obligor is authorized to file any UCC-3 termination statements evidencing the termination of any security interests held by any YA Affiliates. Notwithstanding the foregoing, this Paragraph 3 shall not apply to any claims against YA in connection with any bankruptcy or insolvency proceeding of CoroWare or any other Obligor if and to the extent any part of the Settlement Amount is avoided or otherwise rescinded, so that each Obligor is required pursuant to any final order of a court of competent jurisdiction to repay such payment or transfer.
4. Change of Facts/Mistakes: The Parties acknowledge that other new or supplemental information that either may now exist or may arise or become known in the future could cause them to evaluate the underlying facts or their positions regarding their relationship, any claims they may have against one another or the Financing Documents differently than they have been evaluated as of the date of this Agreement. The Parties expressly agree, and specifically assume the risk, that if facts with respect to the matters covered by this Agreement are found hereafter to be other than, in addition to, or different from, the facts now believed or assumed by either Parties, this Agreement shall nonetheless remain in full force and effect.
-4- |
5. Adequate Consideration – Denial of Liability: The Parties agree and acknowledges that the covenants set forth herein constituted a complete, final and binding compromise and satisfaction of matters involving disputed issues. The Parties further agree that their execution of this Agreement shall not be considered an admission by either party of wrongdoing, and that each party specifically denies any liability, fault, or responsibility to the other.
6. Representation of Comprehension of Document: In entering into this Agreement, the Parties represent that they enter it on their own free will and that they are aware of the legal and income tax consequences of this Agreement, that the terms of this Agreement have been completely read by them and/or their attorneys; that the terms of this Agreement are fully understood and voluntarily accepted by the Parties; that they have had the opportunity to consult with their attorneys, if desired, with respect to this Agreement; and that they are executing this Agreement of their own free act and deed. The Parties acknowledge that they have had the opportunity to request any change in language necessary or desirable to effectuate their intent and expectations so that the rule of construction of contracts construing ambiguities against the drafting party shall be inapplicable.
7. Covenant Not To Sue. A “covenant not to sue” is a legal term which means a person promises not to file a lawsuit in court. It is different from the release contained in Paragraphs 2 or 3. In addition to waiving and releasing the claims covered by Paragraphs 2 above, CoroWare agrees never to sue one any of the YA Releasees in any forum for any claims, laws, or theories covered by the release language in Paragraph 2 above, which arose prior to the Effective Date. In addition to waiving and releasing the claims covered by Paragraphs 3 above, and so long as the full Settlement Amount is received by YA in strict compliance with the terms of this Agreement, YA agrees never to sue one any of the CoroWare Releasees in any forum for any claims, laws, or theories covered by the release language in Paragraph 3 above, which arose prior to the Effective Date.
8. Good Faith: The Parties agree to act in good faith and to cooperate fully with each other in carrying out the intent of this Agreement, and for that purpose agree to execute all additional documents as may prove reasonably necessary to accomplish that intent.
9. Fees/Costs: The Parties shall each bear their own costs and attorney fees incurred in connection with this Agreement, and each waives the right to make a claim against the other for such costs, attorney fees, or any other expenses associated with the matters being settled here.
10. Mutual Warranties: The Parties agree and warrant that they have taken all actions and obtained all authorizations, consents, and approvals as are conditions precedent to their authority to execute this Agreement; and thus warrant that they are fully authorized to bind the Party for which they execute this Agreement; and the Parties represent and warrant that no other person or entity or third-party beneficiary has or has had any interest in the claims, demands, obligations, or causes of action referred to in this Agreement. There has been and will be no assignment or other transfer of any of the claims, or any part thereof, and each party agrees to defend, indemnify and hold harmless the other party from any claims, obligations, or other liabilities, including specifically attorney’s fees and costs incurred, which result from the assertion by any third party of a right to any claim which is released by this Agreement. The foregoing warranties and representations shall survive the execution and delivery of this Agreement.
11. Warranties of YA. As a material inducement to CoroWare to enter into this Agreement, YA represents and warrants to the Obligors that YA has not conveyed, nor is it obligated to convey, any of its rights under the Financing Documents to any third party and that no third party has any interest in, or lien rights against, any rights of YA under the Financing Documents.
-5- |
12. Warranties of CoroWare. As a material inducement to YA to enter into this Agreement, each Obligor represents and warrants to YA that none of them has not conveyed, nor is it obligated to convey, any of its rights under the Financing Documents to any third party and that no third party has any interest in, or lien rights against, any rights of any Obigor under the Financing Documents.
13. No Admission: The Parties agree that this Agreement may not be offered or used as evidence in any proceeding to establish an admission or concession by the any of the Parties that they are in any way responsible for or liable for claims or damages which have been or could have been asserted relating to the claims or the subject matter of this Agreement.
14. Entire Agreement: This Agreement contains the entire understanding and agreement between the Parties to this Agreement with respect to the matters referred to herein. No other representations, covenants, undertakings, or other prior or contemporaneous agreements, oral or written, respecting such matters, which are not specifically incorporated herein, shall be deemed in any way to exist or bind any of the Parties to this Agreement. The Parties to this Agreement acknowledge that each party has not executed this Agreement in reliance on any such promise, representation, or warranty. The Parties expressly understand that all terms of this Agreement are contractual and not merely a recital.
15. Modification by Writing Only: The Parties agree that this Agreement may be modified only by a writing signed by all Parties to the Agreement and that any oral agreements are not binding until reduced to writing and signed by the Parties to the Agreement.
16. Binding Upon Successors and Assigns: The Parties to this Agreement agree that it is binding upon the Parties’ successors, assigns, and heirs.
17. Severability: The Parties to this Agreement agree that if any provision of this Agreement should become inconsistent with present or future law having jurisdiction over and otherwise properly governing the subject matter of the provision, such provision shall be deemed to be rescinded or modified in accordance with any such law. In all other respects, the Parties to this Agreement agree that the other provisions of this Agreement shall continue and remain in full force and effect.

18. Execution in Counterparts: This Agreement may be executed in multiple counterparts, each of which shall be deemed an original agreement, and all of which shall constitute one agreement to be effective as of the Effective Date.

Re: Regulation A Offering Statement on Form 1-A
Ladies and Gentlemen:
I am counsel for Coroware, Inc., a Delaware corporation (the “Company”), in connection with the proposed public offering of up to 5,000,000,000 shares of the common stock, $0.0001 par value per share (“Common Stock”), of the Company under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, through a Regulation A Offering Statement on Form 1-A (the “Offering Statement”) as to which this opinion is a part, to be filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on or about August 30, 2021.
In connection with rendering my opinion as set forth below, I have reviewed and examined originals or copies identified to my satisfaction of the following:
(1) Articles of Incorporation, of the Company as filed with the Secretary of State of Delaware;
(2) By-laws of the Company;
(3) Corporate minutes containing the written resolutions of the Board of Directors of the Company;
(4) The Offering Statement and the prospectus contained within the Offering Statement; and
(5) The other exhibits of the Offering Statement.
I have examined such other documents and records, instruments and certificates of public officials, officers and representatives of the Company, and have made such other investigations as I have deemed necessary or appropriate under the circumstances.
In my examination, I have assumed the genuineness of all signatures, the legal capacity of all natural persons, the authenticity of all documents submitted to me as original documents and the conformity to original documents of all documents submitted to me as certified, conformed, facsimile, electronic or photostatic copies. I have relied upon the statements contained in the Offering Statement and certificates of officers of the Company, and I have made no independent investigation with regard thereto.
Based upon the foregoing and in reliance thereon, it is my opinion that the 5,000,000,000 shares of common stock that are issuable and being offered by the Company will be legally issued, fully paid and non-assessable when offered under the Offering Statement, pursuant to the laws of the State of Delaware and the laws of the United States of America.
I hereby consent to this opinion being included as an exhibit to the Offering Statement and to the use of my name under the caption “EXPERTS” in the offering circular constituting a part thereof.

Exhibit 14.1
CODE
OF BUSINESS CONDUCT and ETHICS
for
COROWARE, INC.
2021
COROWARE, Inc. and all of the group’s subsidiaries, (together, the “Company”) is committed to the highest standards of legal and ethical conduct. This Code of Business Conduct and Ethics (the “Code”) sets forth the Company’s policies with respect to the way we conduct ourselves individually and operate our business. The provisions of this Code are designed to deter wrongdoing and to promote honest and ethical conduct among our employees, officers and directors.
In the course of performing our various roles in the Company, each of us will encounter ethical questions in different forms and under a variety of circumstances. Moments of ethical uncertainty may arise in our dealings with fellow employees of the Company, with customers, or with other parties such as government entities or members of our community. In achieving the high ground of ethical behavior, compliance with governmental laws is not enough. Our employees should never be content with simply obeying the letter of the law, but must also strive to comport themselves in an honest and ethical manner. This Code provides clear rules to assist our employees, directors and officers in taking the proper actions when faced with an ethical dilemma.
The reputation of the Company is our greatest asset and its value relies on the character of its employees. In order to protect this asset, the Company will not tolerate unethical behavior by employees, officers or directors. Those who violate the standards in this Code will be subject to disciplinary action. If you are concerned about taking an action that may violate the Code or are aware of a violation by another employee, an officer or a director, follow the guidelines set forth in Sections 10 and 11 of this Code.
This Code applies equally to all employees, officers and directors of the Company. All references to employees contained in this Code should be understood as referring to officers and directors as well.
1. Compliance with Laws, Rules and Regulations
Company policy requires that the Company, as well as all employees, officers and directors of the Company, comply fully with both the spirit and the letter of all laws, rules and regulations. Whenever an applicable law, rule or regulation is unclear or seems to conflict with either another law or any provision of this Code, all employees, officers and directors are urged to seek clarification from their supervisor, the appropriate compliance official or the Chief Executive Officer. See Section 11 for contact information. Beyond mere compliance with the law, we should always conduct our business with the highest standards of honesty and integrity – wherever we operate.

2. Conflicts of Interest
Every employee has a primary business responsibility to the Company and must avoid conflicts of interest. A conflict of interest arises when an employee takes actions or enters into relationships that oppose the interests of the Company, harm the Company’s reputation or interfere with the employee’s performance or independent judgment when carrying out any actions on behalf of the Company. The Company strictly prohibits its employees from taking any action or entering into any relationship, personal or professional, that creates, or even appears to create, a conflict of interest.
A conflict situation can arise when a director, officer or employee takes actions or has interests that may make it difficult to perform his or her work for the Company objectively and effectively. Conflicts of interests may also arise when a director, officer or employee, or a member of his or her family, receives an improper personal benefit as a result of his or her position with the Company. It may be a conflict of interest for a director, officer or employee to work simultaneously for a competitor, customer or supplier. The best policy is to avoid any direct or indirect business connection with our customers, suppliers or competitors, except on our behalf. Employees must be sensitive to potential conflicts of interest that may arise and use their best efforts to avoid the conflict.
In particular, except as provided below, no director, officer or employee shall:
○ | be a consultant to, or a director, officer or employee of, or otherwise operate an outside business that: | |||
○ | markets products or services in competition with our current or potential products and services; | |||
○ | supplies products or services to the Company; or | |||
○ | purchases products or services from the Company; | |||
○ | accept any personal loan or guarantee of obligations from the Company, except to the extent such arrangements have been approved by the Chief Executive Officer and are legally permissible; or | |||
○ | conduct business on behalf of the Company with immediate family members, which include your spouse, children, parents, siblings and persons sharing your same home whether or not legal relatives. |
Directors, officers and employees must notify the Chief Executive Officer of the existence of any actual or potential conflict of interest. With respect to officers or directors, the Board may make a determination that a particular transaction or relationship will not result in a conflict of interest covered by this policy. With respect to all other employees or agents, the Chief Executive Officer, acting alone, or the Board may make such a determination. Any waivers of this policy as to an officer or director may only be approved by the Board of Directors.
Any employee, officer or director who is aware of a transaction or relationship that could reasonably be expected to give rise to a conflict of interest in violation of this section must inform the appropriate personnel in accordance with the procedures set forth in Section 12 of this Code. If an employee has any questions regarding the Company’s policy on conflicts of interest or needs assistance in avoiding a potential conflict of interest, he or she is urged to seek the advice of a supervisor or the Chief Executive Officer.

3. Corporate Opportunities
Employees, officers and directors are prohibited from taking for themselves personally opportunities that are discovered through the use of Company property, Company information or their position in the Company. Furthermore, employees may not use Company property, information or influence or their position in the Company for improper personal gain. Finally, employees have a duty to advance the Company’s legitimate interests when the opportunity to do so arises. Consequently, employees are not permitted to compete with the Company.
4. Confidentiality
Employees must maintain the confidentiality of confidential information entrusted to them by the Company or its customers or suppliers, except when disclosure is authorized by the Company or required by applicable laws or regulations. Confidential information includes proprietary information of the Company, as well as all non-public information that might be of use to competitors, or harmful to the Company or its customers, if disclosed. This confidentiality requirement is in additional to any other obligations imposed by the Company to keep information confidential.
5. Insider Trading
Employees, officers and directors will frequently become aware of confidential non-public information concerning the Company and the parties with which the Company does business. As set forth in more detail in the Company’s Insider Trading Policy, the Company prohibits employees from using such confidential information for personal financial gain, such as for purposes of stock trading, or for any other purpose other than the conduct of our business. Employees must maintain the confidentiality of such information and may not make disclosures to third parties, including members of the employee’s family. All non-public information about the Company should be treated as confidential information. To use non-public information for personal financial benefit or to “tip” others who may make stock trades on the basis of this information is not only unethical but also illegal. This policy also applies to trading in the securities of any other company, including our customers or suppliers, if employees have material, non-public information about that company which the employee obtained in the course of their employment by the Company. In addition to possible legal sanctions, any employee, officer or director found to be in violation of the Company’s insider trading policy will face decisive disciplinary action. Employees are encouraged to contact the Company’s Chief Executive Officer with any questions concerning this policy.
6. Protection and Proper Use of Company Assets
All Company assets should be used for legitimate business purposes and all employees, officers and directors must make all reasonable efforts to protect the Company’s assets and ensure their efficient use. Theft, carelessness, and waste have a direct impact on the Company’s profitability and must therefore be avoided. The suspected occurrence of fraud or theft should be immediately reported to the appropriate person in accordance with the procedures set forth in Section 11 of this Code.
3 | Page |
An employee’s obligation to protect the Company’s assets extends to the Company’s proprietary information. Proprietary information includes intellectual property such as patents, trademarks, copyrights and trade secrets. An employee who uses or distributes such proprietary information without the Company’s authorization will be subject to disciplinary measures as well as potential legal sanctions.
7. Fair Dealing
Although the success of our Company depends on our ability to outperform our competitors, the Company is committed to achieving success by fair and ethical means. We seek to maintain a reputation for fair dealing among our competitors and the public alike. In light of this aim, the Company prohibits employees from engaging in any unethical or illegal business practices. An exhaustive list of unethical practices cannot be provided. Instead, the Company relies on the judgment of each individual employee to avoid such practices. Furthermore, each employee should endeavor to deal fairly with the Company’s customers, suppliers, competitors and employees. No employee should take unfair advantage of anyone through manipulation, concealment, abuse of privileged information, misrepresentation of material facts, or any other unfair business practice.
8. Disclosures
It is Company policy to make full, fair, accurate, timely and understandable disclosure in compliance with all applicable laws, rules and regulations in all reports and documents that the Company files with, or submits to, the Securities and Exchange Commission and in all other public communications made by the Company. Employees shall endeavor in good faith to assist the Company in such efforts.
9. Waivers
The Company expects all employees, officers and directors to comply with the provisions of this Code. Any waiver of this Code for executive officers, directors or employees may be made only by the Board of Directors or a Board committee and will be promptly disclosed to the public as required by law and stock exchange regulations.
10. Compliance Guidelines and Resources
In some situations, our employees may not be certain how to proceed in compliance with this Code. This uncertainty may concern the ethical nature of the employee’s own acts or the employee’s duty to report the unethical acts of another. When faced with this uncertainty, the employee should carefully analyze the situation and make use of Company resources when determining the proper course of action. The Company also encourages employees to talk to their supervisors, or other personnel identified below, when in doubt about the best course of action.
4 | Page |
1. Gather all the facts. Do not take any action that may violate the Code until you have gathered all the facts that are required to make a well-informed decision and, if necessary, you have consulted with your supervisor, or the Chief Executive Officer, or the Chairman of the Audit/Compliance Committee.
2. Is the action illegal or contrary to policy? If the action is illegal or contrary to the provision of this Code, you should not carry out the act. If you believe that the Code has been violated by an employee, an officer or a director, you must promptly report the violation in accordance with the procedures set forth in Section 11.
3. Discuss the problem with your supervisor. It is your supervisor’s duty to assist employees in complying with this Code. Feel free to discuss a situation that raises ethical issues with your supervisor if you have any questions. You will suffer no retaliation for seeking such guidance.
4. Additional resources. The Human Resources Manager is available to speak with you about problematic situations if you do not feel comfortable approaching your direct supervisor. If you prefer, you may request assistance in writing by sending a request to the Chief Executive Officer.
11. Reporting Procedures
All employees have a duty to report any violations of this Code, as well as violations of any laws, rules, or regulations. The Company does not permit retaliation of any kind against employees for good faith reports of ethical violations.
If you believe that the Code has been violated by an employee you must promptly report the violation to your direct supervisor, Human Resources Manager or the Chief Executive Officer. If a report is made to a supervisor, the supervisor must in turn report the violation to the Chief Executive Officer. All violations by an officer or director of the Company must be reported directly to the entire Board of Directors.
Contact Information
Reports may be made in person, by telephone or in writing by sending a description of the violation and the names of the parties involved to the appropriate personnel mentioned in the preceding paragraph. The contact information is as follows:

Woodinville, WA 98072
12. Disciplinary Action
Employees, officers and directors of the Company will be held accountable for adherence to this Code. The penalty for a particular violation of this Code will be decided on a case-by-case basis and will depend on the nature and severity of the violation as well as the employee’s history of non-compliance and cooperation in the disciplinary process. Significant penalties will be imposed for violations resulting from intentional or reckless behavior. Penalties may also be imposed when an employee fails to report a violation due to the employee’s indifference, deliberate ignorance or reckless conduct. All violations of this Code will be treated seriously and will result in the prompt imposition of penalties which may include (1) an oral or written warning, (2) a reprimand, (3) suspension, (4) termination and/or (5) restitution.
13. No Rights Created
This Code is a statement of certain fundamental principles, policies and procedures that govern the Company’s officers, directors and employees in the conduct of the Company’s business. It is not intended to and does not create any rights in any employee, supplier, competitor, shareholder or any other person or entity.
