Forward Looking Statement Disclosure

 

This Form 1-A Offering Circular, and any documents incorporated by reference herein or therein contain forward-looking statements and are subject to risks and uncertainties. All statements other than statements of historical fact or relating to present facts or current conditions included in this Form 1-A, Offering Circular, and any documents incorporated by reference are forward-looking statements. Forward-looking statements give the Company’s current reasonable expectations and projections relating to its financial condition, results of operations, plans, objectives, future performance and business. You can identify forward-looking statements by the fact that they do not relate strictly to historical or current facts. These statements may include words such as “anticipate,” “estimate,” “expect,” “project,” “plan,” “intend,” “believe,” “may,” “should,” “can have,” “likely” and other words and terms of similar meaning in connection with any discussion of the timing or nature of future operating or financial performance or other events. The forward-looking statements contained in this Form 1-A Offering Circular, and any documents incorporated by reference herein or therein are based on reasonable assumptions the Company has made in light of its industry experience, perceptions of historical trends, current conditions, expected future developments and other factors it believes are appropriate under the circumstances. As you read and consider this Form 1-A Offering Circular, and any documents incorporated by reference, you should understand that these statements are not guarantees of performance or results. They involve risks, uncertainties (many of which are beyond the Company’s control) and assumptions. Although the Company believes that these forward-looking statements are based on reasonable assumptions, you should be aware that many factors could affect its actual operating and financial performance and cause its performance to differ materially from the performance anticipated in the forward-looking statements. Should one or more of these risks or uncertainties materialize, or should any of these assumptions prove incorrect or change, the Company’s actual operating and financial performance may vary in material respects from the performance projected in these forward-looking statements. Any forward-looking statement made by the Company in this Form 1-A Offering Circular or any documents incorporated by reference herein speaks only as of the date of this Form 1-A Offering Circular or any documents incorporated by reference herein. Factors or events that could cause our actual operating and financial performance to differ may emerge from time to time, and it is not possible for the Company to predict all of them. The Company undertakes no obligation to update any forward-looking statement, whether as a result of new information, future developments or otherwise, except as may be required by law.

We would lose our emerging growth status if we were to exceed $1,000,000,000 in gross revenues. We are not sure this will ever take place.

 

Because we are an emerging growth company, we have the exemption from Section 404(b) of Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002 and Section 14A(a) and (b) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934. Under Section 404(b), we are now exempt from the internal control assessment required by subsection (a) that requires each independent auditor that prepares or issues the audit report for the issuer shall attest to, and report on, the assessment made by the management of the issuer. We are also not required to receive a separate resolution regarding either executive compensation or for any golden parachutes for our executives so long as we continue to operate as an emerging growth company.

We hereby elect to use the extended transition period for complying with new or revised accounting standards under Section 102(b)(1).

 

We will lose our status as an emerging growth company in the following circumstances:

 

The end of the fiscal year in which our annual revenues exceed $1.0 billion.
   
The end of the fiscal year in which the fifth anniversary of our IPO occurred.
   
The date on which we have, during the previous three-year period, issued more than $1.0 billion in non-convertible debt.
   
The date on which we qualify as a large accelerated filer.

Risks Relating to the Company and Its Business

 

We have future capital needs and without adequate capital we will not be able to develop our business plan.

 

We are a development stage company. Our growth and continued operations could be impaired by limitations on our access to capital markets. Furthermore, the limited capital we have raised, and the capital we hope will be available to us from our principals, if any, may not be adequate for our long-term growth. If financing is available, it may involve issuing securities senior to our common stock which would be dilutive to holders of our common stock. In addition, in the event we do not raise additional capital from conventional sources, such as our existing investors or commercial banks, there is every likelihood that our growth will be restricted and we may be forced to scale back or curtail implementing our business plan in which event investors in the Company may lose part or all of their investment.

 

Our future success depends on broad market acceptance of our products and services, which may not happen.

 

Our entire business is based on the assumption that the demand for our products and services will develop and grow. We cannot assure you that this assumption is or will be correct. The market for fuel converted from plastic is new and accordingly quite small. As is typical of a new and rapidly evolving industry, the demand for, and market acceptance of, “green-based” products and services is highly uncertain. In order to be successful, we must be able to keep our understandings in place with the suppliers of our products, and educate consumers that our products perform as well as the products they currently use. We can provide no assurances that these efforts will be successful. Similarly, we cannot assure you that the demand for our products and services will become widespread. If the market for our products fails to develop or develops more slowly than we anticipate, our business could be adversely affected.

 

As public awareness of the benefits of fuel converted from plastic grows, we expect competition to increase, which could make it more difficult for us to grow and achieve profitability.

 

We expect competition to increase as awareness of the environmental advantages of converting plastic into fuel increases. A rapid increase in competition could negatively affect our ability to develop a profitable client base. Many of our competitors and potential competitors may have substantially greater financial resources, customer support, technical and marketing resources, larger customer bases, longer operating histories, greater name recognition and more established relationships than we do. We cannot be sure that we will have the resources or expertise to compete successfully. Compared to us, our competitors may be able to:

 

develop and expand their products and services more quickly;
adapt faster to new or emerging technologies and changing customer needs and preferences;
take advantage of acquisitions and other opportunities more readily;
negotiate more favorable agreements with vendors and customers; and
devote greater resources to marketing and selling their products or services.

 

Some of our competitors may also be able to increase their market share by providing customers with additional benefits or by reducing their prices. We cannot be sure that we will be able to match price reductions by our competitors. In addition, our competitors may form strategic relationships to better compete with us. These relationships may take the form of strategic investments, joint-marketing agreements, licenses or other contractual arrangements that could increase our competitors’ ability to serve customers. If our competitors are successful in entering our market, our ability to grow or even sustain our current business could be adversely impacted.

We face risks associated with obtaining raw materials.

 

With regard to our Clean-Seas subsidiary, even though there seems to be an inexhaustible supply of used plastic in our society, our success will depend upon our ability to collect or pay someone else to collect plastic for commercially reasonable costs. In the event there becomes increased competition for these plastic resources, it could have an effect on our profitability that we do not foresee at this time. With regard to our 100BIO subsidiary, we rely on third parties to deliver raw materials like virgin wood fiber, recycled fiber, and starch. Increases in costs of delivery and energy prices, as well as an increase in demand for these materials, could substantially increase the price of these materials that we need.

 

We face risks associated with a reduction in demand for carbon-based fuels.

 

Our world is committing vast amounts of resources toward research and development for the purpose of replacing carbon based fuels with other sources of energy such as sunlight, ocean wave power, wind power and various forms of electrical power, to name a few. Our primary business focus is based upon a strategy for replacing the traditional source for carbon-based fuels, namely crude oil. If there is a major breakthrough in technology that reduces the need for carbon-based fuels, prospect for the success of our company could suffer.

 

We will not be able to negotiate exclusive rights to the technology we will need to acquire.

 

Our intent is to use existing technologies in plastics de-polymerization and to implement equipment that is readily available in the industrial marketplace. We will not have exclusive rights to this technology. Accordingly, others may license or otherwise obtain the use of the same technology and enter into competition with us in our same locality. If this should be the case, it may be difficult or impossible to obtain a competitive advantage over others that desire to enter into this industry.

 

The Company Has Limited Operating History

 
The Company has a limited operating history and there can be no assurance that the Company’s proposed plan of business can be realized in the manner contemplated and, if it cannot be, shareholders may lose all or a substantial part of their investment. There is no guarantee that it will ever realize any significant operating revenues or that its operations will ever be profitable.

 

The Company Is Dependent Upon Its Top Management

 

The Company’s success is heavily dependent upon the continued active participation of Dan Bates, the Company’s current Chief Executive Officer, and Jea So, our Vice President and principal officer of our 100BIO subsidiary, as well as other key personnel and consultants which the Company plans to hire. Loss of the services of our top management could have a material adverse effect upon the Company’s business, financial condition or results of operations. Further, the Company’s success and achievement of the Company’s growth plans depend on the Company’s ability to recruit, hire, train and retain other highly qualified scientific, technical and managerial personnel. Competition for qualified employees and consultants among companies in the applicable industries is intense, and the loss of any of such persons, or an inability to attract, retain and motivate any additional highly skilled employees and consultants required for the initiation and expansion of the Company’s activities, could have a materially adverse effect on it. The inability to attract and retain the necessary personnel, consultants and advisors could have a material adverse effect on the Company’s business, financial condition or results of operations.

 

11
 

 

Although Dependent Upon the Company’s Chief Executive Officer, the Company Does Not Have Any Key Man Life Insurance Policies On Any Such Individual At The Time Of This Offering.

 

The Company is dependent upon its Chief Executive Officer in order to conduct its operations and execute its business plan. However, the Company has not purchased any insurance policies with respect to him in the event of his death or disability. Therefore, should the Company’s Chief Executive Officer die or becomes disabled, the Company will not receive any compensation that would assist with such person’s absence. The loss of such person could negatively affect the Company and its operations.

 

The Company Is Not Subject To Certain Sarbanes-Oxley Regulations And Lack The Financial Controls And Safeguards Required Of Public Companies.

 

The Company does not presently have the internal infrastructure necessary, and is not required, to complete an attestation about our financial controls that would be required under Section 404 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002. There can be no assurances that there are no significant deficiencies or material weaknesses in the quality of our financial controls. The Company expects to incur additional expenses and diversion of management’s time if and when it becomes necessary to perform the system and process evaluation, testing and remediation required in order to comply with the management certification and auditor attestation requirements.

 

Our Chief Executive Officer currently has effective control over actions requiring shareholder approval.

 

Dan Bates, our Chief Executive Officer is the owner of 2,000,000 shares of our Class C Convertible Preferred Stock with each share entitled to 100 votes on all matters submitted to a vote of our shareholders. As a result, Mr. Bates currently has the ability to control the outcome of matters submitted to our shareholders for approval, including election of directors and any merger, consolidation or sale of all or substantially all of our assets. In addition, he would have the ability to control management and affairs of our company. Accordingly, this concentration of ownership might harm the price of our stock by delaying or preventing a change of control, impeding a merger or other business combination or discouraging a potential acquirer from making a tender offer or otherwise attempting to obtain control of us.

 

Changes In Laws Or Regulations Could Harm The Company’s Performance.

 

Various federal and state laws, including labor laws, govern the Company’s relationship with our employees and affect operating costs. These laws may include minimum wage requirements, overtime pay, healthcare reform and the implementation of various federal and state healthcare laws, unemployment tax rates, workers’ compensation rates, citizenship requirements, union membership and sales taxes. A number of factors could adversely affect our operating results, including additional government-imposed increases in minimum wages, overtime pay, paid leaves of absence and mandated health benefits, mandated training for employees, changing regulations from the National Labor Relations Board and increased employee litigation including claims relating to the Fair Labor Standards Act.

 

12
 

 

The Company’s Business Plan Is Speculative

 

The Company’s present business and planned business are speculative and subject to numerous risks and uncertainties. There is no assurance that the Company will generate significant revenues or profits

 

The Company Faces Significant Competition in the United States and Elsewhere

 

The Company will face significant competition in the United States and elsewhere (please see the sub- section entitled “Competition” below in this Offering Circular.)

 

The Company Will Likely Incur Debt

 

The Company will likely incur debt (including secured debt) in the future and in the continuing operations of its business. Complying with obligations under such indebtedness may have a material adverse effect on the Company and on your investment.

 

If We Are Unable To Effectively Protect Our Intellectual Property, It May Impair Our Ability To Compete

 

Our success will depend on our ability to obtain and maintain meaningful intellectual property protection for any such intellectual property. The names and/or logos of Company brands may be challenged by holders of trademarks who file opposition notices, or otherwise contest, trademark applications by the Company for its brands. Similarly, domains owned and used by the Company may be challenged by others who contest the ability of the Company to use the domain name or URL. Our business depends on proprietary technology that may be infringed. Some or all of our products depend or will depend on our proprietary technology for their success. We rely on a combination of trade secrets, copyrights and trademarks, together with non-disclosure agreements, confidentiality provisions in sales, procurement, employment and other agreements and technical measures to establish and protect proprietary rights in our products. While we may seek patents for some or all of our products and technology, there is no guarantee that such patents will be granted. Our ability to successfully protect our technology may be limited because intellectual property laws in certain jurisdictions may be relatively ineffective, detecting infringements and enforcing proprietary rights may divert management’s attention and company resources, contractual measures such as non-disclosure agreements and confidentiality provisions may afford only limited protection, any patents we may receive will expire, thus providing competitors access to the applicable technology, competitors may independently develop products that are substantially equivalent or superior to our products or circumvent our intellectual property rights; and competitors may register patents in technologies relevant to our business areas. In addition, various parties may assert infringement claims against us. The cost of defending against infringement claims could be significant, regardless of whether the claims are valid. If we are not successful in defending such claims, we may be prevented from the use or sale of certain of our products, or liable for damages and required to obtain licenses, which may not be available on reasonable terms, any of which may have a material adverse impact on our business, results of operation or financial condition.

 

13
 

 

Computer, Website or Information System Breakdown Could Affect The Company’s Business 

 

Computer, website and/or information system breakdowns as well as cyber security attacks could impair the Company’s ability to service its customers leading to reduced revenue from sales and/or reputational damage, which could have a material adverse effect on the Company’s financial results as well as your investment.

 

Changes In The Economy Could Have a Detrimental Impact On The Company

 

Changes in the general economic climate could have a detrimental impact on the Company’s revenue. It is possible that recessionary pressures and other economic factors (such as declining incomes, future potential rising interest rates, higher unemployment and tax increases) may adversely affect the Company. Any of such events or occurrences could have a material adverse effect on the Company’s financial results and on your investment.

 

The Amount Of Capital The Company Is Attempting To Raise In This Offering May Not Be Enough To Sustain The Company’s Current Business Plan

 

In order to achieve the Company’s near and long-term goals, the Company may need to procure funds in addition to the amount raised in the Offering. There is no guarantee the Company will be able to raise such funds on acceptable terms or at all. If we are not able to raise sufficient capital in the future, we will not be able to execute our business plan, our continued operations will be in jeopardy and we may be forced to cease operations and sell or otherwise transfer all or substantially all of our remaining assets, which could cause you to lose all or a portion of your investment.

 

We May Not Be Able To Obtain Adequate Financing To Continue Our Operations

 

The Company may require additional debt and/or equity financing to pursue our growth and business strategies. These include but are not limited to enhancing our operating infrastructure and otherwise respond to competitive pressures. Given our limited operating history and existing losses, there can be no assurance that additional financing will be available, or, if available, that the terms will be acceptable to us. Lack of additional funding could force us to curtail substantially our growth plans. Furthermore, the issuance by us of any additional securities pursuant to any future fundraising activities undertaken by us would dilute the ownership of existing shareholders and may reduce the price of our Shares.

 

Terms Of Subsequent Financing, If Any, May Adversely Impact Your Investment

 

We may have to engage in common equity, debt, or preferred stock financings in the future. Your rights and the value of your investment in the Common Stock could be reduced by the dilution caused by future equity issuances. Interest on debt securities could increase costs and negatively impact operating results. In the event we are permitted to issue preferred stock pursuant to the terms of our Company documents, preferred stock could be issued in series from time to time with such designation, rights, preferences, and limitations as needed to raise capital. The terms of preferred stock would be more advantageous to those investors than to the holders of our Common Stock. In addition, if we need to raise more equity capital from the sale of common stock, institutional or other investors may negotiate terms at least as, and possibly more, favorable than the terms of your investment. Shares of common stock which we sell could be sold into any market that develops, which could adversely affect the market price.

 

14
 

 

There is A Substantial Doubt About Our Ability To Continue As A Going Concern.

 

We have not yet entered into the commercialization stage of our products and therefore commercialization is uncertain and expected to require substantial expenditures. We have not yet generated sufficient revenues from our operations to fund our activities, and are therefore dependent upon external sources for financing our operations. There is a risk that we will be unable to obtain necessary financing to continue our operations on terms acceptable to us or at all. As a result, we expect that when we complete our audited financial statements our independent auditor firm will express in its auditors’ report on the financial statements a substantial doubt regarding our ability to continue as a going concern. Our financial statements do not include any adjustments that might result from the outcome of the uncertainty regarding our ability to continue as a going concern. This going concern opinion could materially limit our ability to raise additional funds through the issuance of equity or debt securities or otherwise. Future reports on our financial statements may include an explanatory paragraph with respect to our ability to continue as a going concern. If we cannot continue as a going concern, our stockholders may lose their entire investment in the Company’s Common Stock.

 

Our Operating Plan Relies In Large Part Upon Assumptions And Analyses Developed By The Company. If These Assumptions Or Analyses Prove To Be Incorrect, The Company’s Actual Operating Results May Be Materially Different From Our Forecasted Results

 

Whether actual operating results and business developments will be consistent with the Company’s expectations and assumptions as reflected in its forecast depends on a number of factors, many of which are outside the Company’s control, including, but not limited to:

 

whether the Company can obtain sufficient capital to sustain and grow its business
our ability to manage the Company’s growth
whether the Company can manage relationships with key vendors
demand for the Company’s services and products
the timing and costs of new and existing marketing and promotional efforts
competition
the Company’s ability to retain existing key management, to integrate recent hires and to attract, retain and motivate qualified personnel
the overall strength and stability of domestic and international economies

 

Unfavorable changes in any of these or other factors, most of which are beyond the Company’s control, could materially and adversely affect its business, results of operations and financial condition.

 

15
 

 

Issues Regarding Management of 100BIO

 

Our ability to manage our subsidiary, 100BIOLLC, is limited by the fact that we hold only 51% of its outstanding equity. As a result, we may be constrained in managing 100BIO by reason of our fiduciary duty owed to the minority shareholders.

 

The Company May Be Unable To Manage Its Growth Or Implement Its Expansion Strategy

 

The Company may not be able to expand the Company’s service and product offerings, the Company’s markets, or implement the other features of the Company’s business strategy at the rate or to the extent presently planned. The Company’s projected growth will place a significant strain on the Company’s administrative, operational and financial resources. If the Company is unable to successfully manage the Company’s future growth, establish and continue to upgrade the Company’s operating and financial control systems, recruit and hire necessary personnel or effectively manage unexpected expansion difficulties, the Company’s financial condition and results of operations could be materially and adversely affected.

 

The Company Faces Competition In The Company’s Markets From Various Large And Small Companies, Some Of Which Have Greater Financial, Research And Development, Production And Other Resources Than Does The Company

 

In many cases, the Company’s potential competitors have longer operating histories, established ties to the market and consumers, greater brand awareness, and greater financial, technical and marketing resources. The Company’s ability to compete will depend, in part, upon a number of factors outside the Company’s control, including the ability of the Company’s competitors to develop alternatives that are superior. If the Company fails to successfully compete in its markets, or if the Company incurs significant expenses in order to compete, it could have a material adverse effect on the Company’s results of operations. With specific regard to 100BIO, package manufacturing is one of the most competitive industries.

 

We face risks associated with international operations.

 

We currently plan to operate outside the United States.

 

Our business internationally will be subject to a number of risks. These include:

 

  linguistic and culturaldifferences;
     
  inconsistent regulations and unexpected changes in regulatory requirements;
     
  potentially adverse tax consequences;
     
  wage and price controls;
     
  political instability and social unrest;
     
  uncertain protection of our intellectual property rights; and
     
  imposition of trade barriers.

 

16
 

 

We have no control over many of these matters and any of them may adversely affect our ability to conduct our business internationally.

 

Currency fluctuations and exchange control regulations may adversely affect our business.

 

Our reporting currency is the United States dollar. Our customers outside the United States, however, will be generally billed in local currencies. Our accounts receivable from these customers and overhead assets will decline in value if the local currencies depreciate relative to the United States dollar. Although we may enter into hedging transactions, we may not be able to do so effectively. In addition, any currency exchange losses that we suffer may be magnified if we become subject to exchange control regulations restricting our ability to convert local currencies into United States dollars.

 

Litigation may adversely affect our business, financial condition, and results of operations.

 

From time to time in the normal course of our business operations, we may become subject to litigation that may result in liability material to our financial statements as a whole or may negatively affect our operating results if changes to our business operations are required. The cost to defend such litigation may be significant and may require a diversion of our resources. There also may be adverse publicity associated with litigation that could negatively affect customer perception of our business, regardless of whether the allegations are valid or whether we are ultimately found liable. Insurance may not be available at all or in sufficient amounts to cover any liabilities with respect to these or other matters. A judgment or other liability in excess of our insurance coverage for any claims could adversely affect our business and the results of our operations.

 

Our insurance coverage may be inadequate to cover all significant risk exposures.

 

We will be exposed to liabilities that are unique to the products we provide. While we intend to maintain insurance for certain risks, the amount of our insurance coverage may not be adequate to cover all claims or liabilities, and we may be forced to bear substantial costs resulting from risks and uncertainties of our business. It is also not possible to obtain insurance to protect against all operational risks and liabilities. The failure to obtain adequate insurance coverage on terms favorable to us, or at all, could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition, and results of operations. We do not have any business interruption insurance. Any business disruption or natural disaster could result in substantial costs and diversion of resources.

 

Risks Relating to This Offering and Investment

  

Our Business, Results of Operations and Financial Condition may be Adversely Impacted by the Recent COVID-19 Pandemic.

 

The COVID-19 pandemic has negatively affected the U.S. and global economy, resulted in significant travel restrictions, including mandated closures and orders to “shelter-in-place,” and created significant disruption of the financial markets. We are closely monitoring the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on all aspects of our business, including how it will impact our customers, employees and, suppliers. We are unable to predict the ultimate impact that it may have on our business, future results of operations, financial position or cash flows.

 

17
 

 

The extent to which our operations may eventually be impacted by the COVID-19 pandemic will depend largely on future developments, which are highly uncertain and cannot be accurately predicted, including new information which may emerge concerning the severity of the outbreak and actions by government authorities to contain the outbreak or treat its impact. Even after the COVID-19 pandemic has subsided, we may experience materially adverse impacts to our business due to any resulting economic recession or depression. Furthermore, the impacts of a potential worsening of global economic conditions and the continued disruptions to and volatility in the financial markets remain unknown. The impact of the COVID-19 pandemic may also exacerbate other risks discussed in these risk factors, any of which could have a material effect on us. This situation is changing rapidly and additional impacts may arise that we are not aware of currently.

 

The Exchange of Our Notes May Result in a Substantial Increase in Our Outstanding Shares

 

We currently have outstanding an aggregate of $1.069,375 in principal amount of promissory notes. We anticipate that all or substantially all of the notes will be exchanged for shares of our Common Stock at the final offering price of this Offering. If all of the notes are so exchanged, we will be required to issue a substantial number of shares, the amount of which will depend upon the per share price of this Offering.

 

The Company May Undertake Additional Equity or Debt Financing That May Dilute The Shares In This Offering

 

The Company may undertake further equity or debt financing which may be dilutive to existing shareholders, including you, or result in an issuance of securities whose rights, preferences and privileges are senior to those of existing shareholders, including you, and also reducing the value of Shares subscribed for under this Offering.

 

An Investment In The Shares Is Speculative And There Can Be No Assurance Of Any Return On Any Such Investment

 

An investment in the Company’s Shares is speculative and there is no assurance that investors will obtain any return on their investment. Investors will be subject to substantial risks involved in an investment in the Company, including the risk of losing their entire investment.

 

The Shares Are Offered On A “Best Efforts” Basis And The Company May Not Raise The Maximum Amount Being Offered

 

Since the Company is Offering the Shares on a “best efforts” basis, there is no assurance that the Company will sell enough Shares to meet its capital needs. If you purchase Shares in this Offering, you will do so without any assurance that the Company will raise enough money to satisfy the full USE OF PROCEEDS TO COMPANY which the Company has outlined in this Offering Circular or to meet the Company’s working capital needs.

 

18
 

 

If The Maximum Offering Is Not Raised, It May Increase The Amount Of Long-Term Debt Or The Amount Of Additional Equity It Needs To Raise

 

There is no assurance that the maximum amount of Shares in this Offering will be sold. If the maximum Offering amount is not sold, we may need to incur additional debt or raise additional equity in order to finance our operations. Increasing the amount of debt will increase our debt service obligations and make less cash available for distribution to our shareholders. Increasing the amount of additional equity that we will have to seek in the future will further dilute those investors participating in this Offering.

 

We Have Not Paid Dividends In The Past And Do Not Expect To Pay Dividends In The Foreseeable Future, So Any Return On Investment May Be Limited To The Value Of Our Shares

 

We have never paid cash dividends on our Shares and do not anticipate paying cash dividends in the foreseeable future. The payment of dividends on our Shares will depend on earnings, financial condition and other business and economic factors affecting it at such time that management may consider relevant. If we do not pay dividends, our Shares may be less valuable because a return on your investment will only occur if its stock price appreciates.

 

The Company May Not Be Able To Obtain Additional Financing

 

Even if the Company is successful in selling the maximum number of Shares in the Offering, the Company may require additional funds to continue and grow its business. The Company may not be able to obtain additional financing as needed, on acceptable terms, or at all, which would force the Company to delay its plans for growth and implementation of its strategy which could seriously harm its business, financial condition and results of operations. If the Company needs additional funds, the Company may seek to obtain them primarily through additional equity or debt financings. Those additional financings could result in dilution to the Company’s current shareholders and to you if you invest in this Offering.

 

An Investment in the Company’s Shares Could Result In A Loss of Your Entire Investment

 

An investment in the Company’s Shares offered in this Offering involves a high degree of risk and you should not purchase the Shares if you cannot afford the loss of your entire investment. You may not be able to liquidate your investment for any reason in the near future.

 

There Is No Assurance The Company Will Be Able To Pay Distributions To Shareholders

 

While the Company may choose to pay distributions at some point in the future to its shareholders, there can be no assurance that cash flow and profits will allow such distributions to be made.

 

There is Presently Limited Public Trading Market for the Company’s Shares

 

At present, there is limited public trading market for the Company’s securities and the Company cannot assure that an active trading market will develop.

 

19
 

 

Sales Of Our Shares By Insiders Under Rule 144 Or Otherwise Could Reduce The Price Of Our Shares, If A Trading Market Should Develop

 

Certain officers, directors and/or other insiders may hold shares in the Company and may be able to sell their stock in a trading market if one should develop. The availability for sale of substantial amounts of stock by officers, directors and/or other insiders could reduce prevailing market prices for our securities in any trading market that may develop.

 

Sales Of A Substantial Number Of Shares Of Our Type Of Stock May Cause The Price Of Our Type Of Stock To Decline

 

Should an active market develop and our shareholders sell substantial amounts of our shares in the public market, shares sold may cause the price to decrease below the current Offering price. These sales may also make it more difficult for us to sell equity or equity-related securities at a time and price that we deem reasonable or appropriate.

 

The Company Has Made Assumptions In Its Projections and In Forward-Looking Statements That May Not Be Accurate

The Company Has Significant Discretion Over The Net Proceeds Of This Offering

 

The Company has significant discretion over the net proceeds of this Offering. As is the case with any business, particularly one without a proven business model, it should be expected that certain expenses unforeseeable to management at this juncture will arise in the future. There can be no assurance that management’s use of proceeds generated through this Offering will prove optimal or translate into revenue or profitability for the Company. Investors are urged to consult with their attorneys, accountants and personal investment advisors prior to making any decision to invest in the Company.

 

The Offering Price For the Shares Has Been Determined By The Company

 

The price at which the Shares are being offered has been arbitrarily determined by the Company. There is no relationship between the Offering price and our assets, book value, net worth, or any other economic or recognized criteria of value. Rather, the price of the Shares was derived as a result of internal decisions based upon various factors including prevailing market conditions, our future prospects and our capital structure. These prices do not necessarily accurately reflect the actual value of the Shares or the price that may be realized upon disposition of the Shares.

 

The Shares In This Offering Have No Protective Provisions.

 

The Shares in this Offering have no protective provisions. As such, you will not be afforded protection, as a shareholder in the event of a transaction that may adversely affect you, including a reorganization, restructuring, merger or other similar transaction involving the Company. If there is a “liquidation event” or “change of control” the Shares being offered do not provide you with any protection. In addition, there are no provisions attached to the Shares in the Offering that would permit you to require the Company to repurchase the Shares in the event of a takeover, recapitalization or similar transaction.

 

No Guarantee of Return on Investment

 

There is no assurance that you will realize a return on your investment or that you will not lose your entire investment. For this reason, you should read this Form 1-A Offering Circular and all exhibits and referenced materials carefully and should consult with your own attorney and business advisor prior to making any investment decision.

 

Our Series A Redeemable Preferred Stock Contains Redemption Provisions

 

Commencing on the first day of the month immediately following the date when we receive $1,000,000 in net proceeds from this Offering, and on the first day of each three month anniversary thereafter, we are required to redeem 25% of the net proceeds received during the applicable three month period up to 250,000 shares of preferred stock at a price payable equal to $1 per share until all 2,000,000 shares ($2,000,000) have been redeemed. The aggregate amount of redemption payments will be used to provide working capital to our 100BIO subsidiary.

 

Our Series B and Series C Preferred Stock Contain Anti-Dilution Protection

 

The holders of our Series B and Series C Preferred Stock have anti-dilution rights protecting their interests in the Company from the issuance of any additional shares of capital stock (such as the issuance of shares of Common Stock pursuant to this offering) for a two year period following conversion of the Series B and Series C Preferred Stock into Common Stock each calculated at the rate of 20% on a fully diluted basis. The anti-dilution provisions may have the effect of making it more difficult for us to raise funds for the period that such provision is in effect.

 

21
 

 

IN ADDITION TO THE RISKS LISTED ABOVE, BUSINESSES ARE OFTEN SUBJECT TO RISKS NOT FORESEEN OR FULLY APPRECIATED BY THE MANAGEMENT. IT IS NOT POSSIBLE TO FORESEE ALL RISKS THAT MAY AFFECT THE COMPANY. MOREOVER, THE COMPANY CANNOT PREDICT WHETHER THE COMPANY WILL SUCCESSFULLY EFFECTUATE THE COMPANY’S CURRENT BUSINESS PLAN. EACH PROSPECTIVE PURCHASER IS ENCOURAGED TO CAREFULLY ANALYZE THE RISKS AND MERITS OF AN INVESTMENT IN THE SECURITIES AND SHOULD TAKE INTO CONSIDERATION WHEN MAKING SUCH ANALYSIS, AMONG OTHER FACTORS, THE RISK FACTORS DISCUSSED ABOVE.

 

USE OF PROCEEDS TO COMPANY

 

The Use of Proceeds is an estimate based on the Company’s current business plan. We may find it necessary or advisable to reallocate portions of the net proceeds reserved for one category to another, or to add additional categories, and we will have broad discretion in doing so. For example, if our research and development activities need to be bolstered beyond our initial estimates, we may allocate additional resources by reallocating proceeds from other categories such as marketing for the purposes of research and development. We do not believe we will reallocate from our fixed costs such as equipment or rent.

 

The maximum gross proceeds from the sale of the Shares in this Offering are $7,500,000. The net proceeds from the Offering, assuming it is fully subscribed, are expected to be approximately $7,425,000 after the payment of Offering costs excluding potential broker-dealer and selling commissions, printing, mailing, marketing, legal and accounting costs, and other compliance and professional fees that may be incurred, which we estimate at $95,000. The estimate of the budget for Offering costs is an estimate only and the actual Offering costs may differ from those expected by management.

 

A portion of the proceeds from this Offering may ultimately be used to compensate or otherwise make payments to officers or directors of the Company. The officers and directors of the Company may be paid salaries or fees and receive benefits that are commensurate with similar companies, and a portion of the proceeds may be used to pay these ongoing business expenses.

 

The Company has issued promissory notes in the aggregate principal amount of $1,069,375 We expect to have all or a substantial portion of these notes exchanged for shares of our common stock at the Offering Price. The amount of shares so issued will in part depend upon the per share price of this offering.

 

Additionally, up to $2,000,000 of the net proceeds will be used to redeem shares of the Company’s Series A Redeemable Preferred Stock owned by the Company’s 51% owned subsidiary, 100BIO, LLC which will be used for the business of 100BIO.

 

22
 

 

The Company reserves the right to change the use of proceeds set out herein based on the needs of the ongoing business of the Company and the discretion of the Company’s management. The Company may reallocate the estimated use of proceeds among the various categories or for other uses if management deems such a reallocation to be appropriate. Until sufficient funds are raised by the Company to sufficiently fund our activities, management may utilize some or all of the funds from this Offering for further capital raising efforts, rather than as set out in this Use of Proceeds section of the Offering Circular.

DETERMINATION OF OFFERING PRICE

 

This Offering is a self-underwritten Offering, which means that it does not involve the participation of an underwriter to market, distribute or sell the common stock offered under this Offering. Our Offering Price is arbitrary with no relation to value of the company.

 

Prior to the Offering, there has been no public market for the Offered Shares. The public offering price was determined by the Company. The principal factors considered in determining the public offering price include:

 

 -the information set forth in this Offering Circular and otherwise available;

 

-our history and prospects and the history of and prospects for the industry in which we compete;

 

-our past and present financial performance;

 

-our prospects for future earnings and the present state of our development;

 

-the general condition of the securities markets at the time of this Offering;

 

-the recent market prices of, and demand for, publicly traded common stock of generally comparable companies; and

 

-other factors deemed relevant by us.

 

If all of the Shares in this Offering are fully subscribed and sold at the lowest Offering Price, the 375,000,000 Shares offered herein will constitute approximately 61% of the total Shares of Common Stock of the Company.

 

DILUTION

 

The term “dilution” refers to the reduction (as a percentage of the aggregate Shares outstanding) that occurs for any given share of stock when additional Shares are issued. If all of the Shares in this Offering are fully subscribed and sold at the lowest offering price, the Shares offered herein will constitute approximately 51% of the total Common Shares of stock of the Company. The Company anticipates that subsequent to this Offering the Company may require additional capital and such capital may take the form of Common Stock, other stock or securities or debt convertible into stock. Such future fund raising will further dilute the percentage ownership of the Shares sold herein in the Company.

 

If you invest in our Common Stock, your interest will be diluted immediately to the extent of the difference between the Offering price per share of our Common Stock and the pro forma net tangible book value per share of our Common Stock after this Offering. Based on 97,208,515 Shares of Common Stock issued and outstanding as of the date of this Offering Circular, that equates to a net tangible book value of approximately $(0.02) per share of Common Stock on a pro forma basis. Net tangible book value per share consists of shareholders’ equity adjusted for the retained earnings (deficit), divided by the total number of Shares of Common Stock outstanding. The pro forma net tangible book value, assuming full subscription in this Offering and receipt of $7,500,000 in net proceeds, would be $0.04 per share of Common Stock. The following table compares the differences of your investment in our shares with the investment of our existing shareholders.

PLAN OF DISTRIBUTION

 
We are Offering a maximum of 375,000,000 Shares that are being offered on a “best efforts” basis, which means that there is no guarantee that any minimum amount will be sold. There are up to 375,000,000 Shares being offered at a price of between $0.02 to $0.20 per Share with no minimum purchase. The Shares are being offered on a best-efforts basis to an unlimited number of accredited investors and an unlimited number of non-accredited investors only by the Company. The maximum aggregate amount of the Shares offered is 375,000,000 (the “Maximum Offering”). There is no minimum number of Shares that needs to be sold in order for funds to be released to the Company and for this Offering to close.


The Company will not initially sell the Shares through commissioned broker-dealers, but may do so after the commencement of the Offering. Any such arrangement will add to our expenses in connection with the Offering. If we engage one or more commissioned sales agents or underwriters, we will supplement this Form 1-A to describe the arrangement. Funds tendered by investors will be kept in an account in the name of the Company and will be immediately available to the Company. All subscribers will be instructed by the Company or its agents to transfer funds by wire, check, credit or debit cards or ACH transfer directly to the bank account established for this Offering or deliver checks made payable to “Byzen Digital Inc.” Subscribers have no right to a return of their funds unless the Company rejects a subscription agreement within ten (10) days of tender, in which event investor funds will promptly be refunded to each investor without interest. The Company may terminate the Offering at any time for any reason at its sole discretion and may extend the Offering past the Closing Date in the absolutely discretion of the Company and in accordance with the rules and provisions of Regulation A of the JOBS Act. None of the Shares being sold in this Offering are being sold by existing securities holders.


After the Offering Statement has been qualified by the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”), the Company will accept tenders of funds to purchase the Shares. The Company does not intend to use an escrow agent as this is a “best efforts” Offering and funds will be available immediately to the Company for use.


We initially will use our existing website, www.byzendigital.com, to provide notification of the Offering. This Preliminary Offering Circular will be furnished to prospective investors via download 24 hours per day, 7 days per week on the www.byzendigital.com website.

 

26
 

 

You will be required to complete a subscription agreement in order to invest. The subscription agreement includes a representation to the effect that, if you are not an “accredited investor” as defined under securities law, you are investing an amount that does not exceed the greater of 10% of your annual income or 10% of your net worth, as described in the subscription agreement.

 

Funds will be made immediately available to the Company. No escrow account will be utilized. If a subscription is rejected, funds will be returned to subscribers within ten days of such rejection without deduction or interest. Upon acceptance by us of a subscription, a confirmation of such acceptance will be sent to the subscriber by the Company. All inquiries regarding this Offering should be made directly to the Company.

 

This Offering will commence on the qualification of this Offering Circular, as determined by the Securities and Exchange Commission and continue indefinitely until all of the offered Shares are sold or the Offering is terminated in the Company’s sole discretion. Funds received from investors will be counted towards the Offering only if the form of payment, such as a check, clears the banking system and represents immediately available funds held by us prior to the termination of the subscription period, or prior to the termination of the extended subscription period if extended by the Company.

 

If you decide to subscribe for any of the Shares in this Offering, you must deliver a check, certified funds or another acceptable form of payment for acceptance or rejection. All subscription wire transfers, checks or money orders should be payable to Byzen Digital Inc. and mailed or transmitted to the Company at the following address: 2711 N. Sepulveda Blvd. #1051 Manhattan Beach, California 90266-2725. If a subscription is rejected, all funds will be returned to subscribers within ten days of such rejection without deduction or interest. Upon acceptance by the Company of a subscription, an immediate confirmation of such acceptance will be sent to the investor.

 

The Company maintains the right to accept or reject subscriptions in whole or in part, for any reason or for no reason. All monies from rejected subscriptions will be returned by the Company to the investor, without interest or deductions.

 

This is an Offering made under “Tier 1” of Regulation A, and the shares will not be listed on a registered national securities exchange upon qualification. Therefore, the shares will be sold only to a person if the aggregate purchase price paid by such person is no more than 10% of the greater of such person’s annual income or net worth, not including the value of his primary residence, as calculated under Rule 501 of Regulation D promulgated under Section 4(a)(2) of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended. In the case of sales to fiduciary accounts (Keogh Plans, Individual Retirement Accounts (IRAs) and Qualified Pension/Profit Sharing Plans or Trusts), the above suitability standards must be met by the fiduciary account, the beneficiary of the fiduciary account, or by the donor who directly or indirectly supplies the funds for the purchase of the shares. Investor suitability standards in certain states may be higher than those described in this Form 1-A and/or Offering Circular. These standards represent minimum suitability requirements for prospective investors, and the satisfaction of such standards does not necessarily mean that an investment in the Company is suitable for such persons. Different rules apply to accredited investors.

 

27
 

 

Each investor must represent in writing that he/she/it meets the applicable requirements set forth above and in the Subscription Agreement, including, among other things, that (i) he/she/it is purchasing the shares for his/her/its own account and (ii) he/she/it has such knowledge and experience in financial and business matters that he/she/it is capable of evaluating without outside assistance the merits and risks of investing in the shares, or he/she/it and his/her/its purchaser representative together have such knowledge and experience that they are capable of evaluating the merits and risks of investing in the shares. Broker-dealers and other persons participating in the Offering must make a reasonable inquiry in order to verify an investor’s suitability for an investment in the company. Transferees of the shares will be required to meet the above suitability standards.

 

The shares may not be offered, sold, transferred, or delivered, directly or indirectly, to any person who (i) is named on the list of “specially designated nationals” or “blocked persons” maintained by the U.S. Office of Foreign Assets Control (“OFAC”) at www.ustreas.gov/offices/enforcement/ofac/sdn or as otherwise published from time to time, (ii) an agency of the government of a Sanctioned Country, (iii) an organization controlled by a Sanctioned Country, or (iv) is a person residing in a Sanctioned Country, to the extent subject to a sanctions program administered by OFAC. A “Sanctioned Country” means a country subject to a sanctions program identified on the list maintained by OFAC and available at www.ustreas.gov/offices/enforcement/ofac/sdn or as otherwise published from time to time. Furthermore, the shares may not be offered, sold, transferred, or delivered, directly or indirectly, to any person who (i) has more than fifteen percent (15%) of its assets in Sanctioned Countries or (ii) derives more than fifteen percent (15%) of its operating income from investments in, or transactions with, sanctioned persons or Sanctioned Countries.

 

The sale of other securities of the same class as those to be offered for the period of distribution will be limited and restricted to those sold through this Offering. Because the Shares being sold are not publicly or otherwise traded, the market for the securities offered is presently stabilized.

 

DESCRIPTION OF THE BUSINESS

 

Overview:

 

Byzen Digital was established in 2017 as a company focused on the acquisition of disruptive technologies that will impact the digital economy. Byzen has worked with and nurtured companies across a broad spectrum of technologies. Byzen’s scope of interest is to include companies operating within the clean energy and sustainable market sector. Acquisitions of strategic interest for the company include renewable energy, including wind, solar and sustainable fuels, sustainable packaging, water purification, AI technologies, and blockchain-based data collection, management, and delivery. Byzen Digital plans to change its name to Clean Vision Corporation.

 

28
 

 

Clean Seas, Inc.:

 

Clean-Seas, Inc. is Byzen Digital’s first investment within its newly expanded scope. The acquisition of 100% of Clean Seas is Byzen Digital’s first entry into the clean energy space. Clean Seas has made significant progress in identifying and developing a new business model around the clean energy and waste to energy sectors. Byzen’s management team will integrate the two companies into a single, clean energy-focused corporation.

 

Clean Seas, a Solutions Provider:

 

Clean Seas, Inc. was established to solve the problem of cost-effectively upcycling the vast amount of waste plastic generated on-land before it flows into the world’s oceans. As a “solutions provider,” Clean Seas has identified best in class technologies that are uniquely suited to upcycle plastic waste into valuable commodities and provide these technologies to its customers. The Clean Seas team of business development professionals and engineers will use its experience in the sustainable energy space to deliver high-quality upcycling technologies to its customers and strategic partners. Depending on customer requirements, recycling facilities will be designed to convert waste plastic into clean-burning hydrogen, synthetic liquid fuels and/or generate electricity from synthesis gas (syngas). The solutions provided will utilize technologies uniquely designed to the specific waste feedstock available and the customer’s requirements.

 

System design includes upcycling of all types of mixed plastics with a minimal sorting and cleaning requirement. Each solution will be designed to a customer’s situation. Each engagement will begin with a thorough analysis of a customers’ needs and individual situation.

 

Technology Overview:

 

Plastics Explored:

 

Plastic is a generic term for a wide range of polymers produced using highly refined fractionation of crude oil, or chemicals derived from crude oil, known as monomers. Polymers are formed by the chemical combination of these monomers, which results in chain lengths of tens or hundreds of thousands of carbon atoms.

 

The process of conversion of plastics into hydrogen and other sustainable products comprises of two steps. First, the long polymer chains need to be broken down to produce compounds with shorter chains of hydrocarbons. Second, impurities such as chlorine and sulfur need to be removed reduce toxicity of emissions. Both steps are performed with minimal presence of oxygen to avoid combustion.

 

Recycled plastic waste has the highest calorific value of any waste stream. This energy-rich waste material is an obvious target for upcycling to recapture the benefit of its stored chemical energy.

 

Pyrolysis: The Solution for Waste Reduction, Hydrogen Production, and Cleaner Fuels

 

Pyrolysis is a thermochemical treatment, which can be applied to any organic (carbon-based) product. In this treatment, the material is exposed to temperatures in the 300 C – 800 C range and then, in the absence of oxygen, goes through chemical and physical decomposition into smaller molecules.

 

29
 

 

Plastic pyrolysis is a chemical reaction involving the molecular breakdown of large group molecules into smaller group molecules in the presence of heat. Pyrolysis is also known as thermal cracking, cracking, thermolysis, depolymerization, etc.

 

Pyrolysis is a mature and proven technology that has existed since World War II. Indigenous tribes in Central and South America used pyrolysis as early as five hundred years ago to convert agricultural residue into carbon-based fertilizer by burning it underground with limited oxygen. Still, there have been relatively few large-scale implementations of this technology to date, primarily stemming from the availability of less expensive alternatives and lax environmental regulations in waste management. Recently, with the attention being given to plastic usage and its negative impact on climate change, there has been a significant increase in demand for pyrolysis to remediate plastic waste safely and reliably.

 

Pyrolysis Process:

 

The pyrolysis mechanism can be broken down into two steps: primary and secondary pyrolysis.

 

During the primary pyrolysis step, depolymerization and cross-linking reactions occur.

 

The plastic is pyrolyzed at 370ºC – 420ºC, and the pyrolysis gases are condensed, and liquid separated using fractional distillation to produce the liquid fuel products. Plastic waste is continuously treated in a cylindrical chamber, and the pyrolytic gases are condensed in a purpose built condenser system to yield a hydrocarbon distillate comprising straight and branched-chain aliphatics, cyclic aliphatics, and aromatic hydrocarbons. The resulting mixture is essentially equivalent to petroleum distillate.

 

The essential steps in the pyrolysis of plastic waste involve:

  1. Evenly heating the plastic to a narrow temperature range without excessive temperature variations.
  2. Purging oxygen from the pyrolysis chamber.
  3. Managing the carbonaceous bio-char by-product before it acts as a thermal insulator and lowers the heat transfer to the plastic.
  4. Careful condensation and fractionation of the pyrolysis vapors to produce distillate of good quality and consistency.

 

Pyrolysis Process Methods:

 

Pyrolysis can produce hydrogen and other syngases (primarily carbon monoxide, methane, nitrogen, carbon dioxide, ethane and ethene) along with liquid and solid char, of which the relative proportions depend upon the method of pyrolysis and the operating conditions of the pyrolysis reactor. This is a function of the rate of heating, the operating temperature, and the residence time within the pyrolysis reactor.

 

As the residence time is reduced and the heating rate is increased, the proportion of liquids produced increases as there is sufficient heat in the system to boil off any compounds formed by the breaking of polymer chains.

 

Short residence times and higher temperatures (> 800 C) lead to conditions where pyrolysis turns into gasification and produce larger quantities of hydrogen and other marketable syngases and less solid and liquid byproducts.

The Hydrogen Economy:

 

Hydrogen is the most abundant element in the universe, yet it does not naturally exist in pure form on earth in large quantities. Humans are therefore just beginning to take advantage of the many usages of hydrogen in daily life by leveraging technologies such as pyrolysis and gasification (steam-methane reforming from fossil fuels is the more popular source of commercially available hydrogen in the world today). With recent advances in sustainable technologies, people today can have better access to carbon-neutral sources of hydrogen to meet their energy needs.

 

Hydrogen is extremely versatile and will play a key role in the transformation of the global economy’s decarbonization since it does not produce carbon dioxide or other greenhouse gases (GHG) when it is burnt. There is massive potential for end use applications such as transportation, replacement for fossil fuels used in industrial process, energy generation and residential heating/cooling.

 

Hydrogen Production:

 

For plastics to continue to be accepted in the marketplace, it is essential that appropriate technologies are developed and deployed that can effectively manage the waste plastic at the end of its useful life. These technologies should maintain as much value in the material as possible, in line with the principles of the circular carbon economy. Pyrolysis provides a solution that fits within these principles and can alleviate global environmental concerns regarding plastic usage and waste disposal.

 

Overview of the Hydrogen Market:

 

The global green hydrogen market size is valued at approx. 750 million dollars in 2019. It is expected to have a 14.2% growth rate from 2020 to 2027, according to an analysis conducted by Grand View Research1.

 

The movement towards the reduction in greenhouse gas emissions has been an established mandate over the past decade. Hydrogen will be a key part of this transition, as a source of clean and economical energy. Increasing government regulation regarding emissions will create a financial incentive for firms to seek more alternatives to fossil fuel usage. Hydrogen will be a major part of all levels of this decarbonization of the economy by providing an alternative to natural gas. This includes enabling of distributed power generation, passenger and cargo transportation as well as forklifts and heavy machinery.

 

Storage of energy from intermittent renewable energy sources (solar and wind power) is one of the most immediate issues that need to be resolved before decarbonization of energy production can be fully realized. Hydrogen is an economical and practical way to provide large scale energy storage capacity for intermittent energy sources that are being deployed on a global scale today.

 

Currently, industrial applications constitute the main usage of hydrogen. Much of this hydrogen is derived from natural gas as the feedstock, so there is significant potential for reducing greenhouse gas emissions by producing “clean” hydrogen from carbon neutral renewable energy sources.

Hydrogen also has a significant application for commercial, multifamily, and single-family residential heating. In the near-term future, hydrogen can be blended into existing natural gas networks, taking advantage of existing infrastructure. The long-term outlook for hydrogen usage in heating applications is especially promising, with the potential for hydrogen boilers or fuel cells being built into commercial and multifamily units.

 

Within the next decade, roughly 80 million zero-emission vehicles will be deployed. Hydrogen-powered vehicles will be a significant percentage of these vehicles. As the number of hydrogen-powered vehicles increases, the market for consumer hydrogen will likewise increase. Domestically, most infrastructure for consumer hydrogen is within California, with over 40 hydrogen fueling stations. The foreign market has examples of more advanced development of infrastructure for hydrogen vehicles. Japan has been one of the largest public investors in hydrogen technology and has a publicly stated goal of placing over 800,000 hydrogen-powered vehicles on the road within the next decade.

 

Other Fuels from Pyrolysis

 

Liquid oils from pyrolysis of different plastic waste types contain large numbers of carbon chains with different percentages that can be used as an energy source. Pyrolysis liquid oil utilization as transport fuel may be blended with conventional diesel to improve its quality, as the pyrolysis oils contain a high percentage of aromatic hydrocarbons (like benzene).

 

The use of pyrolysis liquid oil as a substitute transport fuel has been used successfully and in blending with conventional diesel at different ratios produces a highly efficient fuel for either road grade or marine grade diesel. The use of pyrolysis liquid oil in a diesel engine (gen-set) is also an efficient way to generate electricity. In addition, the produced liquid oil shows the presence of aromatic compounds such as styrene, ethylbenzene, and toluene, along with other styrene monomers. The recovery of these aromatic compounds from produced liquid oils can be a source of precursor chemicals in industries for the polymerization of new plastic monomers. These compounds create the circular carbon economy of recycling waste plastic into new forms of hydrocarbons to power engines, generate electricity, or new types of plastic products.

 

Char or carbon black is also a highly reusable by-product of the pyrolysis process that has numerous existing applications. Secondary treatment for activation of char increases its surface area, enhancing its ability to be used as an absorbent filtration material for heavy metals, odor, and toxic gases removal from wastewater and exhaust emissions. The activated char is widely used for the absorption of dyes and other contaminants in wastewater. Char has also been used as a fertilizer to increase crop yields. Carbon black can also be used to make graphene and carbon fiber using advanced nanotechnologies. This process can reduce the need for mining natural graphite and the related environmental pollution.

 

Electricity Production:

 

Pyrolysis oils are found to have ranges of dynamic viscosity of 1.77-1.9O mPa and kinematic viscosity of 1.92-2.09 c and HHV of 41.4-41.8MJ/kg, like conventional diesel, thus have the potential for use as an alternative energy source for electric generation.

 

The other main product of pyrolysis is a volatile fraction composed of gases depending on the elasticity of the feedstock. The above is also true for the pyrolysis gases “syngas” when produced, can subsequently be used for electricity generation.

 

32
 

 

Clean-Seas will use the recycled pyrolysis diesel oil and hydrogen for on-site green power generation. This will come in the form of multiple large generators with direct feeds from the pyrolysis plants to efficiently produce electricity and eliminate the need for transportation of hazardous materials and storage costs.

 

The quality of the recycling by-products generated depends greatly on the quality of the feedstock being utilized by the system. The higher the quality, the higher the yield of reusable by-products. Access to feedstock will be a key matrix by which the facility will achieve profitability.

 

With the world’s supply of waste plastic growing daily, it is a given that there will be an abundant supply of plastic waste feedstock from which Clean-Seas will generate the desired reusable fuels and electricity to meet any customer’s requirement.

 

Business Model:

 

As the owner/operator of the recycling facility, Clean Seas generates revenue from operations in several ways:

 

Gate Fees or Tipping Fees – these fees are paid to the company to accept the waste plastic from a government, municipality, or corporate entity that must dispose of its waste. Fees are paid to the company to accept this feedstock and are paid on a per ton basis. Gate fees vary in range from $20 USD to as high as $150 USD depending on the jurisdiction, land availability, and daily volumes of waste.

 

Power Purchase Agreement (PPA) – a PPA is a contract with a utility company or off-taker which defines the price of electricity paid to the company on a per kWh or MWh basis. A typical PPA has a term of 20 years with escalations over time. A recycling facility with a consistent source of feedstock will generate power 24/7 with approximately 90% capacity factor, resulting in a much more consistent source of energy than a solar or wind farm, which typically will have capacity factors ranging from 20 to 35% annually without large scale electric storage.

 

Sale of Hydrogen and other fuels – A plastic recycling facility converts waste plastic into hydrogen and other clean-burning fuels. This hydrogen and other fuels can be sold to off-takers as an alternative cleaner fuel for marine use, electrical generators, or refined into a clean-burning road grade fuel. Depending on the installation, this fuels output product can be sold to a local fuel distributor or used in the gen-sets for the generation of electricity as above.

 

Commodity Sales – an additional output product of the technologies is “char” or “carbon black,” which is used for the manufacturing of tires, bonding agents, roadway surfaces, and more. Agreements will be established with consumers of carbon black, which will serve as an additional revenue stream to the company.

 

33
 

 

Environmental Credits – recycling of waste plastic mitigates the need for fossil fuels for energy generation and the production of clean-burning diesel. These off-sets will be aggregated and sold to users of fossil fuels in the form of carbon credits or renewable energy credits depending on the location of the facilities and local market conditions. The company expects that these environmental commodities will be in great demand on the carbon market and serve as an additional high-value revenue stream. These can be used as off-set as more governments impose “Carbon-tax” on the end users of fossil fuels. In addition, the company expects that in the coming years, there will be new exchanges coming online specifically focused on plastic waste, and credits will be sought after, allowing producers of plastic waste to off-set their plastic footprint, much like what has happened in the carbon markets.

 

Equipment sales – in some cases, Clean Seas will sell, through its distribution agreements with technology providers, the recycling equipment needed to start up a fully functional recycling facility. This sale will provide a revenue stream to the company as well as recurring revenue through a royalty model and ongoing service and maintenance contracts.

 

Consulting – using the company’s technical and waste handling expertise, the Clean Seas team may, in some cases, provide consulting services for a fee to customers seeking to engage the company for an analysis of the viability of a recycling facility.

 

Market Size and Opportunity:

 

The world produces more than 381 million tons of plastic waste annually and is expected to double by 2034.2 It is estimated that greater than 1 million plastic bottles are sold every minute worldwide. It is estimated that by 2050, there will be more plastic in the ocean by weight than fish. Fifty percent of the world’s plastic since 1950 has been manufactured since the year 2000, yet only 9% of that plastic has been recycled to date.

 

According to a McKinsey and Company analysis, the waste plastics recycling industry is poised to become a $55 billion dollar industry by 2030.3 Pyrolysis/gasification is an invaluable technology to treat mixed polymer streams, which mechanical recycling technologies currently cannot handle. Pyrolysis/gasification is also an important alternative solution to handling polymers that have exhausted their potential for further mechanical recycling.

 

Several pyrolysis/gasification players are coming forward, offering a range of facilities from large-scale plants with capacities of 30,000 to 100,000 metric tons a year to many smaller-scale modular units with capacity up to 3,000 metric tons a year.

 

The emerging markets of the world are especially critical to the plastic pollution problem, where waste handling and collection are not supported with the same infrastructure as in developed nations. This market condition presents a unique opportunity for the company. Clean-Seas is poised to use its experience in the renewable energy sector in emerging economies and leverage that experience to provide upcycling solutions and energy generation.

Competitive landscape:

 

As a solutions provider, Clean Seas is well positioned to source best in class pyrolysis/gasification technologies to meet the demands of any specific installation requirement. There are many pyrolysis/gasification technology providers with whom the company expects to seek a strategic partnership as we move forward. This flexibility allows the company to enlist new and emerging technologies as they come to market without the capital requirement of designing and developing proprietary technology.

 

In the near term, the company has developed relationships with several companies that will provide systems for initial installations. It is the belief of the company that direct access to decision-makers in governments and municipalities will be the key differentiator and driver of the Clean Seas business model and securing trusted partnerships through these strategic business relationships will off-set potential competition in the marketplace.

 

Market Traction:

 

Clean Seas has established an operating company in Massachusetts, Clean Seas MA, to serve opportunities located on the East Coast. The company is focusing its efforts to establish recycling facilities in states and municipalities that are environmentally conscious, aware of the plastic pollution problem and have a desire for a positive impact on reducing their carbon footprint.

 

100BIO™

 

Effective October 1, 2020, Byzen Digital acquired a 51% controlling interest in the sustainable packaging company, 100BIO, LLC. 100BIO was established in 2016 to create a 100% plant based, compostable packaging solution to replace conventional Styrofoam packaging. The company has developed and patented a proprietary technology allowing it to offer its technology, under license, to manufacturers of food ware products to replace their current lines with an environmentally friendly solution, demonstrating to its customers and shareholders the company’s commitment to sustainability while promoting positive environmental impact. These products can be used by a myriad of end users in the food packaging, fast food, and food service industries as a well as in traditional packaging solutions where traditional Styrofoam solutions are currently being used.

 

Industry Overview:

 

Globally the state of the food packaging industry is currently split into two parts: low-cost & heat tolerant but environmentally unfriendly foam products, and high-cost poor-performing paper or recyclable products. There has always been a desire for a cost effective and compostable high-performance packaging product, yet until now a solid technological barrier has prevented such a product from coming to market.

 

As countries, municipalities and corporations are moving towards legislation and corporate initiatives, banning or transitioning away from the use of foam cups and containers, they are seeking to get out in front of these legislative changes. To do this, they will need heat-tolerant, quickly composting packaging at low costs in-line with current foam packaging.

Business Model:

 

100BIO™ licenses its technology to EPS food packaging manufacturers. These manufactures do not need to invest in additional equipment, rather, use existing machinery in their facilities. A basic analysis is made of said equipment to ensure 100BIO’s manufacturing specifications are met for optimal performance of the products. The licensee will assume the cost to adjust the machinery in addition to the royalty cost per unit of bioplastic that is passed through.

 

Equipment Adjustment/Alignment Cost – In order to process a sensitive compound such as bioplastics, engineers must adjust the machinery for adequate heat distribution. Otherwise, the bioplastic can underperform, not perform at all, or ruin the equipment by melting internally. The cost to make these adjustments require performance review as well as efficiency review. If a machine is outdated or need of repairs, it will be noticed at this stage and further review shall be presented to the management team. Shall the equipment deem fit for performance, it will continue on to the alignment process, which includes a deep clean in order to prevent any event of cross-contamination.

 

Equipment Sales – In addition to EPS manufacturers, a much bigger industry of packaging exists, where companies are sourcing more and more sustainable raw material, including bioplastic.4

 


4The global bioplastic production will be over 2.4 million ton in 2020 and set to double by 2023. Although PLA leads in top bioplastic sales, a shortage exists due to growing demand.

Market Size and Opportunity:

 

The global packaging industry is valued at $871 Billion, growing 4% annually, making it one of the largest sectors for market penetration. The sustainable packaging industry is the fastest growing segment, expanding to $267 billion in 2018 and expected to grow to $412 billion by 20275. This growth will be found primarily in the food packaging sector, which, if realized, will call for a major shift in the market. Styrofoam (also known as EPS - Expanded Polystyrene), is a cheap, sturdy, insulating, but environmentally unfriendly material, largely dominating the industry. Regulations across the globe have called for a ban on this environmentally unfriendly material. Alternatives to Styrofoam thus far have been costly and offer fewer returns on performance.

 

Large corporations like Starbucks, Marriott, American Airlines and others have already moved away from the use of plastic straws switching to paper based alternatives. Single use plastic bags are now banned in over 60 countries and over 100 cities in the United States have banned the use of Styrofoam.

 

However, the world still produces greater than 14 million tons of environmentally unfriendly Styrofoam annually. This use of Styrofoam exists primarily in 4 categories: single use consumer goods, food service, construction and shipping. Styrofoam is a great insulator; it is inexpensive to produce and light weight and serves as an excellent sound barrier, protecting products in shipping.

 

The 100BIO™ products look, feels and performs just like traditional Styrofoam but with the added benefits of being: 100% plant based, 100% compostable and uses NO toxic chemicals.

 

Competitive Landscape:

 

100BIO critically analyses the market for competition by assessing companies and products in the following categories: material, price, technology and volume. Keeping track of the competition allows the Company to offer solutions that meet or exceed the competition based on the criteria above.

 

The packaging industry relies heavily on glass, plastic, paper and metal to make-up most of the packaging material utilized today, but even these materials face waste management challenges. With climate change at the front of corporate sustainability goals, we look at bioplastic technology as an effective end-of-life waste solution for large volume commercial usability. 100BIO’s patented extrusion technology takes this challenge one step further by expanding the bioplastic which was once viewed as impossible in packaging. This allows manufacturers to price a 100% compostable package competitively not only with other sustainable packaging material, but with other plastic, wood, glass, and metal packages.

RESULTS OF OPERATIONS FOR THE YEARS ENDED DECEMBER 31, 2020 AND 2019

 

Revenue

The Company had no revenue for the years ended December 31, 2020 and 2019.

 

Officer compensation 

For the years ended December 31, 2020 and 2019, the Company had officer compensation expense of $385,000 and $417,500, respectively, a decrease of $35,200 or 7.7%. The decrease is mainly due to a decrease in stock compensation expense. In the prior year we incurred non-cash stock compensation expense of $142,500. This decrease was offset by the additional of monthly compensation to our CEO.

 

Consulting expense

For the years ended December 31, 2020 and 2019, the Company had consulting expense of $139,000 and $0. All consulting expense in the prior year is part of the discontinued operations.

 

General and Administrative expense 

For the years ended December 31, 2020 and 2019, the Company had General and Administrative expense (“G&A”) of $91,694 and $689, respectively. Our G&A expense has increased in the current year due to non-cash stock compensation of $77,500 for stock issued in the current year.

 

41
 

 

Other Income and Expense

In the current year we incurred $521,715 of debt discount amortization, a $2,006,944loss on the issuance of convertible debt, offset by a gain on the change in fair value of $1,493,293, all due to our newly issued convertible debt. We also recognized interest expense of $1,266.

 

Net loss from discontinued operations

Net loss from discontinued operations for the years ended December 31, 2020 and 2019, was $432,500 and $155,98, respectively. Most of the loss in both years is due to non-cash stock compensation expense.

 

Net Loss from continuing operations

Net loss from continuing operations for the years ended December 31, 2020 and 2019, was $1,732,153 and $418,189. The large decrease to our net loss is mainly contributed to our loss on the issuance of convertible debt and non-cash stock compensation expense.

 

Liquidity and Capital Resources; Plan of Operations

 

We have incurred negative cash flow from operations since our inception. As of December 31, 2020, we had a $740in cash, notes payable in an aggregate amount of $921,961and an accumulated deficit of $6,874,394. As of the date of this offering, we have enough funds to meet our current monthly obligations of payroll, marketing, transfer agent, professional fees, working capital and expenses of this Offering through 2021, assuming that all or substantially all of our outstanding promissory notes are exchanged for Shares in this Offering.

 

We anticipate that the following will take place:

We will require substantial additional capital over the next several years in order to implement our business plan. We expect capital outlays and operating expenditures to increase as we expand our product and service offerings and marketing activities. Our business or operations may change in a manner that would consume available funds more rapidly than anticipated, and substantial additional funding may be required to maintain operations, fund expansions, develop new or enhanced product or services, acquire complimentary products, businesses or technologies, or otherwise respond to competitive pressured opportunities. Accordingly, we anticipate that we will need to attempt to raise additional capital through the sale of additional securities or through other methods of obtaining financing such as through loans or other types of debt. We cannot assure that we will have sufficient capital to finance the growth and business operation or that capital will be available on terms that are favorable to us, or at all.

 

Impact of the Covid-19 Pandemic

 

The COVID-19 pandemic has negatively affected the U.S. and global economy, resulted in significant travel restrictions, including mandated closures and orders to “shelter-in-place,” and created significant disruption of the financial markets. We are closely monitoring the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on all aspects of our business, including how it will impact our customers, employees, suppliers and sales network. We are unable to predict the ultimate impact that it may have on our business, future results of operations, financial position or cash flows.

 

Critical Accounting Polices

 

In December 2001, the SEC requested that all registrants list their most “critical accounting polices” in the Management Discussion and Analysis. The SEC indicated that a “critical accounting policy” is one which is both important to the portrayal of a company’s financial condition and results, and requires management’s most difficult, subjective or complex judgments, often as a result of the need to make estimates about the effect of matters that are inherently uncertain. Our critical accounting policies are disclosed in Note 2 of our unaudited consolidated financial statements included in this Offering Circular with the Securities and Exchange Commission.

 

Off Balance Sheet Arrangements

 

As of December 31, 2020 and 2019, there were no off-balance sheet arrangements.

Current and Future Financing Needs

 

Management recognizes the Company’s need for capital is paramount to its future success and requires obtaining the funds being raised in this Offering. Management believes that this is the primary key to achieving success. The actual funds we will need to operate are subject to many factors, some of which are beyond our control.

 

Going Concern

 

The accompanying financial statements have been prepared on a going concern basis, which contemplates the realization of assets and the settlement of liabilities in the normal course of business. As shown in the accompanying financial statements, we have incurred a cumulative net loss of $6,874,394 as of December 31, 2020 and used substantially all of our cash in our operating activities since inception. The Company’s ability to continue as a going concern is contingent on securing additional debt or equity financing from outside investors. These matters raise substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern. The accompanying financial statements do not include any adjustments that might result should the Company be unable to continue as a going concern.

 

Management plans to continue to implement its business plan and to fund operations by raising additional capital through the issuance of debt and equity securities. The Company’s existence is dependent upon management’s ability to implement its business plan and/or obtain additional funding. There can be no assurance that the Company’s financing efforts will result in profitable operations or the resolution of the Company’s liquidity problems. Even if the Company is able to obtain additional financing, it may include undue restrictions on our operations in the case of debt or cause substantial dilution for our stockholders in the case of equity financing.

 

In December 2019, a novel strain of coronavirus, COVID-19, surfaced in Wuhan, China. This virus continues to spread around the world, resulting in business and social disruption. The coronavirus was declared a Public Health Emergency of International Concern by the World Health Organization on January 30, 2020. The operations and business results of the company could be materially adversely affected. The extent to which the coronavirus may impact business activity or results of operations will depend on future developments, which are highly uncertain and cannot be predicted, including new information which may emerge concerning the severity of the coronavirus and the actions required to contain the coronavirus or treat its impact, among others

 

 Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements

 

We do not have any off-balance sheet arrangements that have or are reasonably likely to have a current or future effect on our financial condition, changes in financial condition, revenues or expenses, results of operations, liquidity, capital expenditures or capital resources that is material to investors.

Critical Accounting Policies

 

We have identified the policies outlined in this Offering Circular and attachments as critical to our business operations and an understanding of our results of operations. Those policies outlined are not intended to be a comprehensive list of all of our accounting policies. In many cases, the accounting treatment of a particular transaction is specifically dictated by accounting principles generally accepted in the United States, with no need for management’s judgment in their application. The impact and any associated risks related to these policies on our business operations is discussed throughout Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operation where such policies affect our reported and expected financial results. Note that our preparation of the consolidated financial statements requires us to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities, disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of our consolidated financial statements, and the reported amounts of revenue and expenses during the reporting period. There can be no assurance that actual results will not differ from those estimates.

Limitation of Liability and Indemnification of Officers and Directors

 

Our Bylaws limit the liability of directors and officers of the Company. The Bylaws state that the Company shall indemnify, in accordance with and to the full extent now or hereafter permitted by law, any person who was or is a party or is threatened to be made a party to any threatened, pending or completed action, suit or proceeding, whether civil, criminal, administrative or investigative (including, without limitation, an action by or in the right of the corporation), by reason of his or her acting as a director or officer of the corporation (or a director or officer serving at the request of the corporation in any other capacity for or on behalf of the corporation) against any expenses (including attorneys’ fees, judgments, fines, ERISA or other excise taxes, penalties and amounts paid in settlement) actually and reasonably incurred by such director or officer in respect thereof; provided, however, that, the corporation shall not be obligated to indemnify any such director or officer with respect to proceedings, claims or actions initiated or brought voluntarily by such director and not by way of defense. Expenses that may be subject to indemnification hereunder shall be paid in advance of the final disposition of the action, suit or proceeding to the full extent permitted by Nevada law subject to the corporation’s receipt of any undertaking required thereby. The provisions of this article of the Company’s Bylaws shall be deemed to constitute a contract between the Company and each director or officer who serves in such capacity at any time while this article and the relevant provisions of Nevada law are in effect, and each such director or officer shall be deemed to be serving as such in reliance on the provisions of this article of the Company’s Bylaws, and any repeal of any such provisions or of such article of the Company’s Bylaws shall not affect any rights or obligations then existing with respect to any state of facts then or theretofore existing or any action, suit or proceeding theretofore or thereafter brought or threatened based in whole or in part upon any such state of facts. If a claim under this article of the Company’s Bylaws is not paid in full within thirty (30) days after a written claim has been received by the corporation, the claimant may at any time thereafter bring suit against the corporation to recover the unpaid amount of the claim and, if successful in whole or in part, the claimant also shall be entitled to be paid the expense of prosecuting such claim. It shall be a defense to any such action (other than an action brought to enforce a claim for expenses incurred in defending any proceeding in advance of its final disposition where the required undertaking, if any, has been provided to the corporation) that the claimant has not met the standards of conduct that make it permissible under Nevada law for the corporation to indemnify the claimant for the amount claimed, but the burden of proving such defense shall be on the corporation. Neither the failure of the corporation to have made a determination prior to the commencement of such action that indemnification of the claimant is proper under the circumstances because the claimant has met the applicable standard of conduct set forth in the Nevada law, nor an actual determination by the corporation that the claimant has not met such standard of conduct shall be a defense to the action or create a presumption that the claimant has not met the applicable standard of conduct.

 

The rights of indemnification and advancement provided by this article of the Company’s Bylaws are not exclusive of any other right to indemnification or advancement provided by law, agreement or otherwise, and shall apply to actions, suits or proceedings commenced after the date hereof, whether or not arising from acts or omissions occurring before or after the adoption hereof, and shall continue as to a person who has ceased to be a director or officer of the corporation and shall inure to the benefit of the heirs, executors and administrators of such a person.

 

Insofar as indemnification for liabilities arising under the Securities Act may be permitted to our Officers, Directors, and controlling purposes by our Certificate of Incorporation, our By-Laws and the laws of the State of Nevada, we have been advised that in the opinion of the Securities and Exchange Commission such indemnification is against public policy as expressed in the Securities Act and is, therefore, unenforceable.

 

There is no pending litigation or proceeding involving any of our directors or officers as to which indemnification is required or permitted, and we are not aware of any threatened litigation or proceeding that may result in a claim for indemnification. For additional information on indemnification and limitations on liability of our directors and officers, please review the Company’s Bylaws, which are an Exhibit to this Offering Circular.

SHARES ELIGIBLE FOR FUTURE SALE

 

Future sales of substantial amounts of our common stock in the public market after this offering could adversely affect market prices prevailing from time to time and could impair our ability to raise capital through the sale of our equity securities.

Investor suitability standards in certain states may be higher than those described in this Offering Circular.

If such a finding were made, the Company may lose its ability to rely upon exemptions under Regulation A, and, depending on the circumstances, may be required to register the Offering of the Company’s Common Stock with the SEC and under applicable state securities laws or to conduct a rescission offer with respect to the securities sold in the Offering.

DISCLOSURE OF COMMISSION POSITION ON INDEMNIFICATION FOR SECURITIES ACT LIABILITIES

 

Under our Articles of Incorporation and Bylaws, we may indemnify an officer or director who is made a party to any proceeding, including a lawsuit, because of their position, if they acted in good faith and in a manner they reasonably believed to be in our best interest. We may advance expenses incurred in defending a proceeding. To the extent that the officer or director is successful on the merits in a proceeding as to which they are to be indemnified, we must indemnify them against all expenses incurred, including attorney’s fees. With respect to a derivative action, indemnity may be made only for expenses actually and reasonably incurred in defending the proceeding, and if the officer or director is judged liable, only by a court order. The indemnification is intended to be to the fullest extent permitted by the laws of the State of Nevada.

 

U.S Securities and Exchange Opinion on Indemnification

 

Insofar as indemnification for liabilities arising under the Securities Act may be permitted to our Officers, Directors, and controlling purposes by our Certificate of Incorporation, our By-Laws and the laws of the State of Nevada, we have been advised that in the opinion of the Securities and Exchange Commission such indemnification is against public policy as expressed in the Securities Act and is, therefore, unenforceable.

Byzen Digital Inc. 

Notes to consolidated Financial Statements

December 31, 2020

(Unaudited)

 

NOTE 1 –ORGANIZATION AND NATURE OF BUSINESS

 

Byzen Digital, Inc. (the “Company”) was incorporated on September 15, 2006 in Nevada under the name Emergency Pest Services. On November 4, 2017, the Company finalized a reverse merger with Byzen Digital, Inc., a Seychelles Corporation. Currently, the Company is quoted on the OTC markets under ticker symbol BYZN.

 

Byzen’s scope of interest is to acquire companies operating within the clean energy and sustainable market sector. Acquisitions of strategic interest for the company include renewable energy, including wind, solar and sustainable fuels, sustainable packaging, water purification, AI technologies, and blockchain-based data collection, management, and delivery.

 

Clean-Seas, Inc. is Byzen Digitals’ first investment within its newly expanded scope. The acquisition of 100% of Clean Seas is Byzen Digitals’ first entrance into the clean energy space. Clean Seas has made significant progress in identifying and developing a new business model around the clean energy and waste to energy sectors. Byzen’s management team will incorporate the two companies into a single-minded, clean energy-focused entity.

 

Effective October 1, 2020 the Company acquired a 51% controlling interest in the sustainable packaging company, 100BIO, LLC. 100BIO was established in 2016 to create a 100% plant based, compostable packaging solution to replace conventional Styrofoam packaging. The company has developed and patented a proprietary technology allowing it to offer its technology, under license, to manufacturers of food ware products to replace their current lines with an environmentally friendly solution, demonstrating to its customers and shareholders the company’s commitment to sustainability while promoting positive environmental impact. These products can be used by a myriad of end users in the food packaging, fast food, and food service industries as a well as in traditional packaging solutions where traditional Styrofoam solutions are currently being used.

 

NOTE 2 –SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

 

Basis of Presentation

The Company’s unaudited consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“U.S. GAAP”).

 

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 at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting periods. Actual results could differ from those estimates.

 

Concentrations of Credit Risk

We maintain our cash in bank deposit accounts, the balances of which at times may exceed federally insured limits. We continually monitor our banking relationships and consequently have not experienced any losses in our accounts. We believe we are not exposed to any significant credit risk on cash.

 

Cash equivalents

The Company considers all highly liquid investments with a maturity of three months or less when purchased to be cash equivalents. There were no cash equivalents for the year ended December 31, 2020 or 2019.

 

Principles of Consolidation

The accompanying consolidated financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2020, include the accounts of the Company and its wholly owned subsidiary, Clean-Seas, Inc. There was no activity with Clean-Seas for the year ended December 31, 2020. The accompanying consolidated financial statements year ended December 31, 2019 include the accounts of the Company and its wholly owned subsidiary, Telecoin (see Note 4).

 

Stock-based Compensation

In June 2018, the FASB issued ASU 2018-07, Compensation – Stock Compensation (Topic 718): Improvements to Non employee Share-Based Payment Accounting. ASU 2018-07 allows companies to account for nonemployee awards in the same manner as employee awards. The guidance is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2018, and interim periods within those annual periods. We adopted this ASU on January 1, 2019. The adoption of ASU 2018-07 did not have a material impact on our consolidated financial statements.

 

F-6
 

 

Fair value of financial instruments 

The Company follows paragraph 825-10-50-10 of the FASB Accounting Standards Codification for disclosures about fair value of its financial instruments and paragraph 820-10-35-37 of the FASB Accounting Standards Codification (“Paragraph 820-10-35-37”) to measure the fair value of its financial instruments. Paragraph 820-10-35-37 establishes a framework for measuring fair value in accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (U.S. 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 (3) broad levels. 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. The three (3) 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.

 

The carrying amount of the Company’s financial assets and liabilities, such as cash, prepaid expenses and accrued expenses approximate their fair value because of the short maturity of those instruments. The Company’s notes payable amates the fair value of such instruments as the notes bear interest rates that are consistent with current market rates.

 

The following table classifies the Company’s liabilities measured at fair value on a recurring basis into the fair value hierarchy as of December 31, 2020: 

Description   Level 1   Level 2   Level 3
Derivative     $     $     $ 1,075,794  
Total     $     $     $ 1,075,794  

  

Income taxes

The Company follows Section 740-10-30 of the FASB Accounting Standards Codification, which requires recognition of deferred tax assets and liabilities for the expected future tax consequences of events that have been included in the financial statements or tax returns. Under this method, deferred tax assets and liabilities are based on the differences between the financial statement and tax bases of assets and liabilities using enacted tax rates in effect for the fiscal year in which the differences are expected to reverse. Deferred tax assets are reduced by a valuation allowance to the extent management concludes it is more likely than not that the assets will not be realized. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are measured using enacted tax rates expected to apply to taxable income in the fiscal years in which those temporary differences are expected to be recovered or settled. The effect on deferred tax assets and liabilities of a change in tax rates is recognized in the Statements of Income in the period that includes the enactment date.

 

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

 

Net income (loss) per common share

Net income (loss) per common share is computed pursuant to section 260-10-45 of the FASB Accounting Standards Codification. Basic net income (loss) per common share is computed by dividing net income (loss) by the weighted average number of shares of common stock outstanding during the period. Diluted net income (loss) per common share is computed by dividing net income (loss) by the weighted average number of shares of common stock and potentially outstanding shares of common stock during the period. The weighted average number of common shares outstanding and potentially outstanding common shares assumes that the Company incorporated as of the beginning of the first period presented.

 

The Company’s diluted loss per share is the same as the basic loss per share for the years ended December 31, 2020 and 2019, as the inclusion of any potential shares would have had an anti-dilutive effect due to the Company generating a loss.

Recently issued accounting pronouncements

The Company has implemented all new applicable accounting pronouncements that are in effect. These pronouncements did not have any material impact on the financial statements unless otherwise disclosed, and the Company does not believe that there are any other new accounting pronouncements that have been issued that might have a material impact on its financial position or results of operations.

 

NOTE 3 - GOING CONCERN

 

The accompanying unaudited consolidated financial statements have been prepared on a going concern basis, which contemplates the realization of assets and the satisfaction of liabilities in the normal course of business. The Company has an accumulated deficit of $6,874,394 at December 31, 2020 and had a net loss of $2,164,653 (approximately $1,647,200 was non-cash expense related to derivatives and stock compensation) for year ended December 31, 2020. The Company’s ability to raise additional capital through the future issuances of common stock and/or debt financing is unknown. The obtainment of additional financing, the successful development of the Company’s contemplated plan of operations, and its transition, ultimately, to the attainment of profitable operations are necessary for the Company to continue operations. These conditions and the ability to successfully resolve these factors raise substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern. The financial statements of the Company do not include any adjustments that may result from the outcome of these aforementioned uncertainties.

 

Management plans to continue to implement its business plan and to fund operations by raising additional capital through the issuance of debt and equity securities. The Company’s existence is dependent upon management’s ability to implement its business plan and/or obtain additional funding. There can be no assurance that the Company’s financing efforts will result in profitable operations or the resolution of the Company’s liquidity problems. Even if the Company is able to obtain additional financing, it may include undue restrictions on our operations in the case of debt or cause substantial dilution for our stockholders in the case of equity financing.

 

NOTE 4 – TELECOIN ASSET

 

On May 12, 2016, the Company acquired 17,000,000 telecoins. TeleCoin is a digital currency created using encrypted data/codes which partner and work in synchronization with the Blockchain.

During the year ended December 31, 2017, 2,864,197 of those telecoins were given to third party services providers for services performed. Based on the service provided the Company valued the telecoin at $0.25 (GBP) each for total non cash expense of $922,436. As of December 31, 2018, the company had 14,135,803 telecoins valued at $0.25 (GBP) each for a total value of $4,509,320 after adjusting to US currency. On November 19, 2018, as part of the Company’s exit from the cryptocurrency and blockchain arena, the Company’s agreed to the sale of its UK Subsidiary, Telecoin, and it’s Telecoin cryptocurrency asset, to XALPA Technologies Inc. Per the agreement, 16,000,000 shares of common stock held by XALPA Directors would be returned to the Company. In February 2019 the shares were returned, and the telecoin asset and related accumulated other comprehensive loss was removed from the balance sheet, resulting in a gain on the sale of $605,302. In addition, the sale constitutes a disposal/discontinued operations under ASC 2015-20-45, as such all operations and balance sheet items have been disclosed separately as discontinued operations.

NOTE 11 – INCOME TAX

 

Deferred taxes are provided on a liability method whereby deferred tax assets are recognized for deductible temporary differences and operating loss and tax credit carry forwards and deferred tax liabilities are recognized for taxable temporary differences. Temporary differences are the differences between the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and their tax bases. Deferred tax assets are reduced by a valuation allowance when, in the opinion of management, it is more likely than not that some portion or all of the deferred tax assets will not be realized. The Company has evaluated Staff Accounting Bulletin No. 118 regarding the impact of the decreased tax rates of the Tax Cuts & Jobs Act. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are adjusted for the effects of changes in tax laws and rates on the date of enactment. The U.S. federal income tax rate of 21% is being used.

 

Net deferred tax assets consist of the following components as of December 31:

 

    2020   2019
Deferred Tax Assets:                
NOL Carryover   $ (127,000 )   $ (113,00 )
Related party accrual     2,300       2,300  
Payroll accrual     1,500       1,500  
Deferred tax liabilities:                
Less valuation allowance     123,200       109,200  
Net deferred tax assets   $     $  

 

The income tax provision differs from the amount of income tax determined by applying the U.S. federal income tax rate to pretax income from continuing operations for the period ended December 31, due to the following:

 

    2020   2019
Book loss   $ (454,600 )   $ (120,600 )
Other nondeductible expenses     351,300       41,900  
Related party accrual            
Valuation allowance     103,300       78,700  
    $     $  

 

At December 31, 2020, the Company had net operating loss carry forwards of approximately $957,000 that may be offset against future taxable income from the year 2021 to 2040. No tax benefit has been reported in the December 31, 2020 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. With few exceptions, the Company is no longer subject to U.S. federal, state and local income tax examinations by tax authorities for years before 2016.

Each share of the Series C preferred stock is convertible in ten shares of common stock.

No waiver by either party of the breach of any term or covenant contained in this Agreement, whether by conduct or otherwise, in any one or more instances, shall be deemed to be, or construed as, a further or continuing waiver of any such breach, or a waiver of the breach of any other term or covenant contained in this Agreement.

  (g) All agreements herein made are expressly limited so that in no event whatsoever, whether by reason of advancement of proceeds hereof, acceleration of maturity of the unpaid balance hereof or otherwise, shall the amount paid or agreed to be paid to the Payee for the use of the money advanced or to be advanced hereunder exceed the maximum rate of interest allowed to be charged under applicable law (the “Maximum Legal Rate”). If, from any circumstances whatsoever, the fulfillment of any provision of this Note or any other agreement or instrument now or hereafter evidencing, securing or in any way relating to the indebtedness evidenced hereby shall involve the payment of interest in excess of the Maximum Legal Rate, then the obligation to pay interest hereunder shall be reduced to the Maximum Legal Rate; and if from any circumstance whatsoever, the Payee shall ever receive interest, the amount of which would exceed the amount collectible at the Maximum Legal Rate, such amount as would be excessive interest shall be applied to any other indebtedness of the Company to the Payee. This provision shall control every other provision in any and all other agreements and instruments existing or hereafter arising between the Company and the Payee with respect to the indebtedness evidenced hereby.
     
  (h) The Company represents and warrants that the issuance of this Note has been duly authorized by all necessary corporate and shareholder action and the execution, delivery and repayment of this Note does not and will not violate any agreement to which it is a party.

 

IN WITNESS WHEREOF, the parties hereto have executed and delivered this Note as of the date first set forth above.

  MATURITY DATE: November 25, 2021

 

1. INCORPORATION. This Note is being issued pursuant to the terms of that certain Financial Advisory Agreement, dated as of November 25, 2020 by and between the Company and the Holder (the “Advisory Agreement”). If not otherwise defined herein, all capitalized terms herein shall have the meanings given to them in the Advisory Agreement. Further, all of the terms, representations, warranties, agreements, covenants and conditions set forth in the Advisory Agreement are incorporated herein by reference. To the extent that there is a conflict between any condition, term or provision of this Note and the Advisory Agreement, the conditions, terms, and provisions set forth herein shall specifically supersede the conflicting conditions, provisions and/or terms in the Advisory Agreement.
   
2. PAYMENT. All outstanding principal shall be due one year from the Effective Date (“Maturity Date”). The Company shall have three (3) days after the Maturity Date to deliver payment to the Holder. Payment shall be made at Holder’s address at 7951 SW 6th Street, Suite 216, Plantation, FL 33324, or as otherwise directed by Holder.

The Company will make interest payments semi- annually, with the first interest payment due six (6) months from the Effective Date hereof and on each 6 months from such date until all interest and outstanding principal is paid in full.

4. PREPAYMENT. The Company may, at its option, at any time and from time to time, prepay all or any part of the principal balance of this Note before the Maturity Date, without penalty; provided, that it shall provide Holder with fifteen (15) days’ advanced written notice of its intent to prepay this Note. Holder shall have the option to elect to convert this Note per the terms of this Note and the Advisory Agreement at any time prior to the Company’s prepayment. Any partial prepayments would be applied to accrued interest balance first.
   
5. REORGANIZATION. In case of any consolidation or merger of the Company with or into any other corporation, entity or person, or any other corporate reorganization, in which the Company shall not be the continuing or surviving entity of such consolidation, merger or reorganization (any such transaction being hereinafter referred to as a “Reorganization”), then, in each case, the Holder of this Note, on conversion hereof at any time after the consummation or effective date of such Reorganization (the “Reorganization Date”), shall receive, in lieu of the shares of stock or other securities at any time issuable upon the conversion of this Note issuable on such conversion prior to the Reorganization Date, the stock and other securities and property (including cash) to which such Holder would have been entitled upon the Reorganization Date if such Holder had converted this Note immediately prior thereto. The Company shall ensure that the surviving entity in any Reorganization specifically assumes the Company’s obligations under this Note and the Advisory Agreement.
   
6. DEFAULT. The occurrence of any one of the following events shall constitute an Event of Default:

 

a) The non-payment, when due or upon demand, of any principal or interest pursuant to this Note;
     
b) The material breach of any representation or warranty in the Advisory Agreement;
     
c) The breach of any material covenant or undertaking herein or therein the Advisory Agreement;
     
d) The commencement by the Company of any voluntary proceeding under any bankruptcy, reorganization, arrangement, insolvency, readjustment of debt, receivership, dissolution, or liquidation law or statute of any jurisdiction, whether now or hereafter in effect; or the adjudication of the Company as insolvent or bankrupt by a decree of a court of competent jurisdiction; or the petition or application by the Company for, acquiescence in, or consent by the Company to, the appointment of any receiver or trustee for the Company or for all or a substantial part of the property of the Company; or the assignment by the Company for the benefit of creditors; or the written admission of the Company of its inability to pay its debts as they mature;
     
e) The commencement against the Company of any proceeding relating to the Company under any bankruptcy, reorganization, arrangement, insolvency, adjustment of debt, receivership, dissolution or liquidation law or statute of any jurisdiction, whether now or hereafter in effect, provided, however, that the commencement of such a proceeding shall not constitute an Event of Default unless the Company consents to the same or admits in writing the material allegations of same, or said proceeding shall remain undismissed for 20 days; or the issuance of any order, judgment or decree for the appointment of a receiver or trustee for the Company or for all or a substantial part of the property of the Company, which order, judgment or decree remains undismissed for 20 days; or a warrant of attachment, execution, or similar process shall be issued against any substantial part of the property of the Company;

f) The Company liquidates, transfers, sells or assigns substantially all of its assets or elects to wind down its operations or dissolve;

h) Company fails to maintain DTC or DWAC eligibility;
     
i) The Company fails to stay current in its SEC Reporting obligations;
     
j) The Company fails to deliver the Holder the shares of Common Stock rightfully listed in the Conversion Notice within three (3) business days;
     
k) The Company defaults on any other debt or warrant agreement exceeding a value of $20,000;
     
l) The Company breaches any other agreement it has with Holder or his assigns;
     
m) The Company interferes with Holder’s or its assigns’ efforts to remove the restrictive legend from the Common Stock issued as a result of conversion of the Note when Holder or his assign has provided an attorney opinion letter opining that the shares are eligible to have the legend removed pursuant to Rule 144 or otherwise.

 

There will be no cure period available for the Event of Default as defined in Section 6(d) and 6(e); Upon the occurrence of any Event of Default, and provided such Event of Default as defined in Section 6(a) through 6(c), and 6(f) through 6(m), has not been cured by the Company within five (5) business days after the occurrence of such Event of Default (except a payment default of any interest, principal and/or other amount when due, of which no cure period is available), the Holder, may, by written notice to the Company, declare all or any portion of the unpaid Principal Amount due to Holder, together with all accrued interest thereon, immediately due and payable (without advanced notice as may otherwise by required hereunder); provided that upon the occurrence of an Event of Default as set forth in paragraph

(d) or paragraph (e) hereof, all or any portion of the unpaid Principal Amount due to Holder, together with all accrued interest thereon, shall immediately become due and payable without any such notice. Holder shall also have all other remedies available under law and equity. There shall be a default charge equal to 18% of the sum of any unpaid principal plus any interest accrued as of the default date.

 

In the event that Holder at its sole discretion elects to allow the Company to continue with repayment of the principal and interest on this Note after an Event of Default, the interest rate on the unpaid principal of this Note will change to 18% or the highest interest rate currently allowable under Florida law for loans of this amount (the “Default Interest Rate”). In the event of any changes under Florida law relating to the increases or decreases of allowable interest rates, this Note will be changed to the highest amount allowable under Florida law without notification or further ratification. As of the date of Default or any Event of Default, assuming the Holder allows reinstatement or continuation of this Note, the Default Interest Rate shall become the new rate of interest on this Note.

 

Any payments that the Holder allows under this section shall be made through a wire transfer of funds or Certified Check.

 

Upon the occurrence of any Event of Default, the Holder at any time, at its sole discretion, may elect to immediately (without prior notice) convert the outstanding Principal Amount of this Note, or any portion of the Principal Amount hereof, and any accrued interest, in whole or in part, into shares of the Common Stock, according to the terms of this Note.

7. CONVERSION.

 

a. Alternative Conversion Price should be equal to 50% of the average of three lowest trading price on the primary trading market on which the Company’s Common Stock is quoted for the last twenty (20) trading days immediately prior to but not including the Conversion Date. The Alternative Conversion Price and Holders right to convert the principal and interest under this Note shall apply only during any period when the Company is in default under this Note. Holder shall have no right to convert any portion of the Note during any period when the Company is not in default.
     
b. Conversion Limitation. Notwithstanding any other provision of this Note, the Holder may not convert this Note if such conversion would cause Holder’s beneficial ownership (as defined by Section 13(d) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended) of the Company to exceed 9.9% of its total issued and outstanding common or voting shares. Any common shares converted under this Note need to be delivered to the Holder within three (3) business days of the receipt of Conversion Notice.

 

8. CONVERSION COST. The Company agrees to reimburse the Holder’s certificate processing cost by adding $1,500 to the Principal for each note conversion effected by Holder.
   
9. COMMON SHARE ISSUANCE. Upon receipt by the Company of a written request from Holder to convert any amount due under any Note, subject to any limitations on conversion contained in any Note, the Company shall have three (3) business days (“Delivery Date”) to request issuance of the shares of Common Stock rightfully listed in such request. If the Company fails to timely deliver the shares through willful failure or deliberate hindrance, the Company shall pay to Holder in immediately available funds $1,000 per day past the Delivery Date that the shares are actually issued. Any amounts due under this Section shall be paid by the fifth (5th) day of the month following the month in which they accrued or, at the option of Holder, may be added to the principal under any Note. The Company agrees that the right to convert the Notes is a valuable right to Holder and a material consideration of it entering the Advisory Agreement. The parties agree that it would be impracticable and extremely difficult to ascertain the amount of actual damages caused by a failure of the Company to timely deliver shares as required hereby. Therefore, the parties agree that the foregoing liquidated damages provision represents reasonable compensation for the loss which would be incurred by the Holder due to any such breach. The parties agree that this Section is not intended to in any way limit Holder’s right to pursue other remedies, including actual damages and/or equitable relief.
   
10. NOTICE. Any and all notices, demands, advance requests or other communications required or desired to be given hereunder by any party shall be in writing and shall be validly given or made to another party if (i) personally served, (ii) sent by email on the date such email is sent (provided confirmation of such email being sent is provided upon request) (iii) deposited in the United States mail, postage prepaid, return receipt requested, or (iv) by facsimile with confirmation receipt. Notice hereunder is to be given as follows:

11. REPRESENTATIONS AND WARRANTIES BY HOLDER. Holder, by its acceptance of this Note, represents and warrants to Company as follows:

 

  (a) Holder is acquiring the Security with the intent to hold as an investment and not with a view of distribution.
     
  (b) Holder is an “accredited investor” within the definition contained in Rule 501(a) under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”), and is acquiring the Security for its own account, for investment, and not with a view to, or for sale in connection with, the distribution thereof or of any interest therein. Holder has adequate net worth and means of providing for its current needs and contingencies and is able to sustain a complete loss of the investment in the Security, and has no need for liquidity in such investment. Holder, itself or through its officers, employees or agents, has sufficient knowledge and experience in financial and business matters to be capable of evaluating the merits and risks of an investment such as an investment in the Securities, and Holder, either alone or through its officers, employees or agents, has evaluated the merits and risks of the investment in the Security.
     
  (c) Holder acknowledges and agrees that it is purchasing the Security hereunder based upon its own inspection, examination and determination with respect thereto as to all matters, and without reliance upon any express or implied representations or warranties of any nature, whether in writing, orally or otherwise, made by or on behalf of or imputed to the Company.
     
  (d) Holder has no contract, arrangement or understanding with any broker, finder, investment bank, financial intermediary or similar agent with respect to any of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement.
     
  (e) Holder understands that in lieu of this Note, Holder has the right to receive an up-front cash payment prior to Holder rendering services to the Company pursuant to the Advisory Agreement. It is further acknowledged and agreed that the value of this Note, or the securities into which it may be converted, at any given time, could be less than the value of the service fee had Holder elected an up-front payment, and Holder accepts the investment risk associated therewith.

 

12. SUCCESSION AND ASSIGNABILITY. This Note shall be binding upon and inure to the benefit of the parties hereto and their respective successors and permitted assigns. The Holder may assign any of his or its rights, interests, or obligations hereunder on his or its own discretion without further approval from the Company.

 

13. GOVERNING LAW AND CONSENT TO JURISDICTION. This Note shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of the State of Florida without regard to conflict of law provisions. All disputes arising out of or in connection with this Note, or in respect of any legal relationship associated with or derived from this Note, shall only be heard in any competent court residing in Broward County, Florida. The Company agrees that a final judgment in any such action or proceeding shall be conclusive and may be enforced in other jurisdictions by suit on the judgment or in any manner provided by law. The Company further waives any objection to venue in any such action or proceeding on the basis of inconvenient forum. The Company agrees that any action on or proceeding brought against the Holder shall only be brought in such courts.

 

  5 of 6 Initial: _CP_
 

 

14. ATTORNEYS FEES. In the event the Holder hereof shall refer this Note to an attorney to enforce the terms hereof, the Company agrees to pay all the costs and expenses incurred in attempting or effecting the enforcement of the Holder’s rights, including reasonable attorney’s fees, whether or not suit is instituted.
   
15. CONFORMITY WITHLAW. It is the intention of the Company and of the Holder to conform strictly to applicable usury and similar laws. Accordingly, notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Note, it is agreed that the aggregate of all charges which constitute interest under applicable usury and similar laws that are contracted for, chargeable or receivable under or in respect of this Note, shall under no circumstances exceed the maximum amount of interest permitted by such laws, and any excess, whether occasioned by acceleration or maturity of this Note or otherwise, shall be canceled automatically, and if theretofore paid, shall be either refunded to the Company or credited on the Principal Amount of this Note.
   
16. SEVERABILITY. If any portion of this Note is declared by a court of competent jurisdiction to be invalid or unenforceable, such portion shall be deemed severed from this Note, and the remaining part shall remain in full force and effect as if no such invalid or unenforceable provisions had been a part of this Note.
   
17. WAIVER. Holder shall not be deemed to have waived any rights under this Note unless such waiver is given in a dated writing signed by Holder. No delay or omission on the part of Holder in exercising any right pursuant to this Note shall operate as a waiver of such right or any other right. A waiver by Holder of any provision of this Note or of any rights against any individual, entity or collateral shall not prejudice or constitute a waiver of strict compliance of any other provision of this Note by any other individual or entity. No prior waiver by Holder or course of dealing between Holder and any individual or entity collectively constituting the Company shall constitute a waiver of any rights of Holder or of any obligations pursuant to this Note.
   
18. This Note and the Advisory Agreement (and the warrant issued thereunder) constitute the entire agreement between the parties relating to the subject matter hereof, and may not be altered or amended except by written agreement signed by the parties.

 

             In witness whereof, the below parties signed and sealed this Note as of above date written.

The principal of, and interest on, this Note are payable at 390 Whalley Avenue, New Haven, CT 06511, initially, and if changed, last appearing on the records of the Company as designated in writing by the Holder hereof from time to time. The Company will pay each interest payment and the outstanding principal due upon this Note before or on the Maturity Date, less any amounts required by law to be deducted or withheld, to the Holder of this Note by check or wire transfer addressed to such Holder at the last address appearing on the records of the Company. The forwarding of such check or wire transfer shall constitute a payment of outstanding principal hereunder and shall satisfy and discharge the liability for principal on this Note to the extent of the sum represented by such check or wire transfer. Interest shall be payable in Common Stock (as defined below) pursuant to paragraph 4(b) herein. Permitted Assigns means any Holder assignment, transfer or sale of all or a portion of this Note accompanied by an Opinion of Counsel as provided for in Section 2(f) of the Securities Purchase Agreement.

 

This Note is subject to the following additional provisions:

 

1. This Note is exchangeable for an equal aggregate principal amount of Notes of different authorized denominations, as requested by the Holder surrendering the same. No service charge will be made for such registration or transfer or exchange, except that Holder shall pay any tax or other governmental charges payable in connection therewith. To the extent that Holder subsequently transfers, assigns, sells or exchanges any of the multiple lesser denomination notes, Holder acknowledges that it will provide the Company with Opinions of Counsel as provided for in Section 2(f) of the Securities Purchase Agreement.

 

 

 

 

  2. The Company shall be entitled to withhold from all payments any amounts required to be withheld under applicable laws.
       
  3. This Note may be transferred or exchanged only in compliance with the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (“Act”), applicable state securities laws and Sections 2(f) and 5(f) of the Securities Purchase Agreement. Any attempted transfer to a non-qualifying party shall be treated by the Company as void. Prior to due presentment for transfer of this Note, the Company and any agent of the Company may treat the person in whose name this Note is duly registered on the Company’s records as the owner hereof for all other purposes, whether or not this Note be overdue, and neither the Company nor any such agent shall be affected or bound by notice to the contrary. Any Holder of this Note electing to exercise the right of conversion set forth in Section 4(a) hereof, in addition to the requirements set forth in Section 4(a), and any prequalified prospective transferee of this Note, also is required to give the Company written confirmation that this Note is being converted (“Notice of Conversion”) in the form annexed hereto as Exhibit A. The date of receipt (including receipt by telecopy) of such Notice of Conversion shall be the Conversion Date. All notices of conversion will be accompanied by an Opinion of Counsel.
       
  4. (a) The Holder of this Note is entitled, at its option, at any time after the first 270 days that this Note is in effect, to convert all or any amount of the principal face amount of this Note then outstanding into shares of the Company’s common stock (the “Common Stock”) at a fixed price (“Conversion Price”) of $0.001 per share of Common Stock. If the shares have not been delivered within 3 business days, the Notice of Conversion may be rescinded. Such conversion shall be effectuated by the Company delivering the shares of Common Stock to the Holder within 3 business days of receipt by the Company of the Notice of Conversion. Accrued, but unpaid interest shall be subject to conversion. The Holder shall have the right to convert all or a portion of the amount due under this Note into shares of any qualified Regulation A Offering Statement of the Company, as soon as such offering becomes effective. The number of shares to be issued shall be determined by dividing the converted amount by the offering price under the Regulation A Offering Statement. No fractional shares or scrip representing fractions of shares will be issued on conversion, but the number of shares issuable shall be rounded to the nearest whole share. In no event shall the Holder be allowed to effect a conversion if such conversion, along with all other shares of Company Common Stock beneficially owned by the Holder and its affiliates would exceed 9.99% of the outstanding shares of the Common Stock of the Company.
       
    (b) Interest on any unpaid principal balance of this Note shall be paid at the rate of 4% per annum. Interest shall be paid by the Company in Common Stock (“Interest Shares”). Holder may, at any time, send in a Notice of Conversion to the Company for Interest Shares based on the formula provided in Section 4(a) above. The dollar amount converted into Interest Shares shall be all or a portion of the accrued interest calculated on the unpaid principal balance of this Note to the date of such notice.

 

 

 

 

    (c) While this Note is in effect, the Company may prepay and redeem this Note by paying to the Holder an amount as follows:

The redemption notice will provide for 3 days to repay this Note, conversions may be effectuated, pursuant to Section 4(a) above, during the 3 days. Further, if the company raises funds from a Regulation A Offering, the Company shall prepay this Note with the initial proceeds received from such offering.

 

    (d) Upon (i) a transfer of all or substantially all of the assets of the Company to any person in a single transaction or series of related transactions, (ii) a reclassification, capital reorganization (excluding an increase in authorized capital) or other change or exchange of outstanding shares of the Common Stock, other than a forward or reverse stock split or stock dividend, or (iii) any consolidation or merger of the Company with or into another person or entity in which the Company is not the surviving entity (other than a merger which is effected solely to change the jurisdiction of incorporation of the Company and results in a reclassification, conversion or exchange of outstanding shares of Common Stock solely into shares of Common Stock) (each of items (i), (ii) and (iii) being referred to as a “Sale Event”), then, in each case, the Company shall, upon request of the Holder, redeem this Note in cash for 150% of the principal amount, plus accrued but unpaid interest through the date of redemption, or at the election of the Holder, such Holder may convert the unpaid principal amount of this Note (together with the amount of accrued but unpaid interest) into shares of Common Stock immediately prior to such Sale Event at the Conversion Price.
       
    (e) In case of any Sale Event (not to include a sale of all or substantially all of the Company’s assets) in connection with which this Note is not redeemed or converted, the Company shall cause effective provision to be made so that the Holder of this Note shall have the right thereafter, by converting this Note, to purchase or convert this Note into the kind and number of shares of stock or other securities or property (including cash) receivable upon such reclassification, capital reorganization or other change, consolidation or merger by a holder of the number of shares of Common Stock that could have been purchased upon exercise of the Note and at the same Conversion Price, as defined in this Note, immediately prior to such Sale Event. The foregoing provisions shall similarly apply to successive Sale Events. If the consideration received by the holders of Common Stock is other than cash, the value shall be as determined by the Board of Directors of the Company or successor person or entity acting in good faith.

 

 

 

 

  5. No provision of this Note shall alter or impair the obligation of the Company, which is absolute and unconditional, to pay the principal of, and interest on, this Note at the time, place, and rate, and in the form, herein prescribed.
       
  6. The Company hereby expressly waives demand and presentment for payment, notice of non-payment, protest, notice of protest, notice of dishonor, notice of acceleration or intent to accelerate, and diligence in taking any action to collect amounts called for hereunder and shall be directly and primarily liable for the payment of all sums owing and to be owing hereto.
       
  7. The Company agrees to pay all costs and expenses, including reasonable attorneys’ fees and expenses, which may be incurred by the Holder in collecting any amount due under this Note.

Make-Whole for Failure to Deliver Loss. At the Holder’s election, if the Company fails for any reason to deliver to the Holder the conversion shares by the by the 3rd business day following the delivery of a Notice of Conversion to the Company and if the Holder incurs a Failure to Deliver Loss, then at any time the Holder may provide the Company written notice indicating the amounts payable to the Holder in respect of the Failure to Deliver Loss and the Company must make the Holder whole as follows:

 

Failure to Deliver Loss = [(Highest VWAP for the 30 trading days on or after the day of exercise) x (Number of conversion shares)]

 

The Company must pay the Failure to Deliver Loss by cash payment, and any such cash payment must be made by the third business day from the time of the Holder’s written notice to the Company.

 

  9. In case any provision of this Note is held by a court of competent jurisdiction to be excessive in scope or otherwise invalid or unenforceable, such provision shall be adjusted rather than voided, if possible, so that it is enforceable to the maximum extent possible, and the validity and enforceability of the remaining provisions of this Note will not in any way be affected or impaired thereby.

Upon full conversion of this Note, any shares remaining in the Share Reserve shall be cancelled. The Company shall pay all transfer agent costs associated with issuing and delivering the share certificates to Holder. If such amounts are to be paid by the Holder, it may deduct such amounts from the Conversion Price. The company should initially reserve 10,000,000 shares. The Holder may reasonably request increases from time to time to maintain reserved amounts as deemed necessary. The Company will instruct its transfer agent to provide the outstanding share information to the Holder in connection with its conversions.
     
  13. If it shall be found that any interest or other amount deemed interest due hereunder violates the applicable law governing usury, the applicable provision shall automatically be revised to equal the maximum rate of interest or other amount deemed 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 or interest on this Note.
     
  14. This Note shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of Nevada applicable to contracts made and wholly to be performed within the State of Nevada and shall be binding upon the successors and assigns of each party hereto.

This Agreement may be executed in counterparts, and the facsimile transmission of an executed counterpart to this Agreement shall be effective as an original.

The Company (after giving effect to the transactions contemplated by this Agreement) is solvent (i.e., its assets have a fair market value in excess of the amount required to pay its probable liabilities on its existing debts as they become absolute and matured) and currently the Company has no information that would lead it to reasonably conclude that the Company would not, after giving effect to the transaction contemplated by this Agreement, have the ability to, nor does it intend to take any action that would impair its ability to, pay its debts from time to time incurred in connection therewith as such debts mature. The Company did not receive a qualified opinion from its auditors with respect to its most recent fiscal year end and, after giving effect to the transactions contemplated by this Agreement, does not anticipate or know of any basis upon which its auditors might issue a qualified opinion in respect of its current fiscal year.

So long as the Buyer beneficially owns any Note, the Company shall maintain its corporate existence and shall not sell all or substantially all of the Company’s assets, except in the event of a merger or consolidation or sale of all or substantially all of the Company’s assets, where the surviving or successor entity in such transaction (i) assumes the Company’s obligations hereunder and under the agreements and instruments entered into in connection herewith and (ii) is a publicly traded corporation whose Common Stock is listed for trading OTC Markets.
       
    f. No Integration. The Company shall not make any offers or sales of any security (other than the Securities) under circumstances that would require registration of the Securities being offered or sold hereunder under the 1933 Act or cause the offering of the Securities to be integrated with any other offering of securities by the Company for the purpose of any stockholder approval provision applicable to the Company or its securities.
       
    g. Trading Activities. Neither the Buyer nor its affiliates has an open short position (or other hedging or similar transactions) in the common stock of the Company and the Buyer agree that it shall not, and that it will cause its affiliates not to, engage in any short sales of or hedging transactions with respect to the common stock of the Company.

  5. Transfer Agent Instructions. Prior to the date on which the Conversion Shares may be sold pursuant to Rule 144 without any restriction as to the number of Securities as of a particular date that can then be immediately sold, all such certificates shall bear the restrictive legend specified in Section 2(g) of this Agreement. The Company warrants that: (i) no stop transfer instructions to give effect to Section 2(f) hereof (in the case of the Conversion Shares the date on which the Conversion Shares may be sold pursuant to Rule 144 without any restriction as to the number of Securities as of a particular date that can then be immediately sold), will be given by the Company to its transfer agent and that the Securities shall otherwise be freely transferable on the books and records of the Company as and to the extent provided in this Agreement and the Note; (ii) it will not direct its transfer agent not to transfer or delay, impair, and/or hinder its transfer agent in transferring (or issuing) (electronically or in certificated form) any certificate for Conversion Shares to be issued to the Buyer upon conversion of or otherwise pursuant to the Note as and when required by the Note and this Agreement; and (iii) it will not fail to remove (or directs its transfer agent not to remove or impairs, delays, and/or hinders its transfer agent from removing) any restrictive legend (or to withdraw any stop transfer instructions in respect thereof) on any certificate for any Conversion Shares issued to the Buyer upon conversion of or otherwise pursuant to the Note as and when required by the Note and this Agreement. Nothing in this Section shall affect in any way the Buyer’s obligations and agreement set forth in Section 2(g) hereof to comply with all applicable prospectus delivery requirements, if any, upon re-sale of the Securities. If the Buyer provides the Company, at the cost of the Buyer, with (i) an opinion of counsel in form, substance and scope customary for opinions in comparable transactions, to the effect that a public sale or transfer of such Securities may be made without registration under the 1933 Act and such sale or transfer is effected or (ii) the Buyer provides reasonable assurances that the Securities can be sold pursuant to Rule 144, the Company shall permit the transfer, and, in the case of the Conversion Shares, promptly instruct its transfer agent to issue one or more certificates, free from restrictive legend, in such name and in such denominations as specified by the Buyer. The Company acknowledges that a breach by it of its obligations hereunder will cause irreparable harm to the Buyer, by vitiating the intent and purpose of the transactions contemplated hereby. Accordingly, the Company acknowledges that the remedy at law for a breach of its obligations under this Section may be inadequate and agrees, in the event of a breach or threatened breach by the Company of the provisions of this Section, that the Buyer shall be entitled, in addition to all other available remedies, to an injunction restraining any breach and requiring immediate transfer, without the necessity of showing economic loss and without any bond or other security being required.

CONVERTIBLE PROMISSORY NOTE

 

FOR VALUE RECEIVED, BYZEN DIGITAL, INC., a Nevada corporation (hereinafter called the “Borrower”), hereby promises to pay to the order of CROSSLAKE CAPITAL, LLC, a Delaware limited liability company, or registered assigns (the “Holder”) the principal sum of $200,000.00 (the “Principal Amount”), at maturity or upon acceleration or otherwise, as set forth herein (the “Note”). The consideration to the Borrower for this Note is $100,000.00 (the “Consideration”). At the closing, the outstanding principal amount under this Note shall be $200,000.00. The maturity date shall be twelve (12) months from the Issue Date (the “Maturity Date”), and is the date upon which the principal sum, and other fees shall be due and payable. This Note may be prepaid in whole or in part except as otherwise explicitly set forth herein. Any amount of principal on this Note, which is not paid by the Maturity Date, shall bear interest (commencing on the date that the note is fully paid) at the rate of the lesser of (i) twenty-two percent (22%) per annum and (ii) the maximum amount permitted by law from the due date thereof until the same is paid (“Default Interest”). All payments due hereunder (to the extent not converted into the Borrower’s common stock (the “Common Stock”) in accordance with the terms hereof) shall be made in lawful money of the United States of America. All payments shall be made at such address as the Holder shall hereafter give to the Borrower by written notice made in accordance with the provisions of this Note. Whenever any amount expressed to be due by the terms of this Note is due on any day which is not a business day, the same shall instead be due on the next succeeding day, which is a business day and, in the case of any interest payment date which is not the date on which this Note is paid in full, the extension of the due date thereof shall not be taken into account for purposes of determining the amount of interest due on such date. As used in this Note, the term “business day” shall mean any day other than a Saturday, Sunday or a day on which commercial banks in the city of New York, New York are authorized or required by law or executive order to remain closed.

 

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

The following additional terms shall also apply to this Note:

 

ARTICLE I. CONVERSION RIGHTS

 

  1.1 Conversion Right. The Holder shall have the right at any time on or after the Issue Date to convert all or any part of the outstanding and unpaid principal amount of this Note into fully paid and non-assessable shares of Common Stock, as such Common Stock exists on the Issue Date, or any shares of capital stock or other securities of the Borrower into which such Common Stock shall hereafter be changed or reclassified at the conversion price (the “Conversion Price”) determined as provided herein (a “Conversion”); provided, however, that in no event shall the Holder be entitled to convert any portion of this Note in excess of that portion of this Note upon conversion of which the sum of the number of shares of Common Stock beneficially owned by the Holder and its affiliates (other than shares of Common Stock which may be deemed beneficially owned through the ownership of the unconverted portion of the Notes or the unexercised or unconverted portion of any other security of the Borrower subject to a limitation on conversion or exercise analogous to the limitations contained herein) and (2) the number of shares of Common Stock issuable upon the conversion of the portion of this Note with respect to which the determination of this proviso is being made, would result in beneficial ownership by the Holder and its affiliates of more than 4.99% of the outstanding shares of Common Stock. For purposes of the proviso to the immediately preceding sentence, beneficial ownership shall be determined in accordance with Section 13(d) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”), and Regulations 13D-G thereunder, except as otherwise provided in clause (1) of such proviso, provided, further, however, that the limitations on conversion may be waived (up to a maximum of 9.99%) by the Holder upon, at the election of the Holder. The number of shares of Common Stock to be issued upon each conversion of this Note shall be determined by dividing the Conversion Amount (as defined below) by the applicable Conversion Price then in effect on the date specified in the notice of conversion, in the form attached hereto as Exhibit A (the “Notice of Conversion”), delivered to the Borrower by the Holder in accordance with Section 1.4 below; provided that the Notice of Conversion is submitted by facsimile or e-mail (or by other means resulting in, or reasonably expected to result in, notice) to the Borrower before 6:00 p.m., New York, New York time on such conversion date (the “Conversion Date”). The term “Conversion Amount” means, with respect to any conversion of this Note, the sum of (1) the principal amount of this Note to be converted in such conversion plus (2) at the Holder’s option, on such principal amount at the interest rates provided in this Note to the Conversion Date, plus (3) at the Holder’s option, Default Interest, if any, on the amounts referred to in the immediately preceding clauses (1) and/or (2) plus (4) at the Holder’s option, any amounts owed to the Holder pursuant to Sections 1.3 and 1.4(g) hereof.

 

2

 

 

  1.2 Conversion Price.
       
    (a) Calculation of Conversion Price. The Conversion Price shall be the Variable Conversion Price (as defined herein) (subject, in each case, to equitable adjustments for stock splits, stock dividends or rights offerings by the Borrower relating to the Borrower’s securities or the securities of any subsidiary of the Borrower, combinations, recapitalization, reclassifications, extraordinary distributions and similar events) (also subject to adjustment as further described herein). The “Variable Conversion Price” shall mean 70% multiplied by the Market Price (as reported by OTC Markets) (representing a discount rate of 30%). “Market Price” means the Volume Weighted Average Price for the Common Stock during the thirty (30) Trading Day period ending on the last complete Trading Day prior to the Conversion Date for such security that is quoted on OTC Markets. Each time, while this Note is outstanding, the Borrower enters into a Section 3(a)(9) transaction (including but not limited to the issuance of new promissory notes or of a replacement promissory note), or Section 3(a)(10) transaction, in which any 3rd party has the right to convert monies owed to that 3rd party (or receive shares pursuant to a settlement or otherwise) at a discount to market greater than the Volume Weighted Average Price in effect at that time (prior to all other applicable adjustments in the Note), then the Volume Weighted Average Price shall be automatically adjusted to such greater discount percentage (prior to all applicable adjustments in this Note) until this Note is no longer outstanding. Each time, while this Note is outstanding, the Borrower enters into a Section 3(a)(9) transaction (including but not limited to the issuance of new promissory notes or of a replacement promissory note), or Section 3(a)(10) transaction, in which any 3rd party has a look back period greater than the look back period in effect under the Note at that time, then the Holder’s look back period shall automatically be adjusted to such greater number of days until this Note is no longer outstanding. The Borrower shall give written notice to the Holder, with the adjusted Variable Conversion Price and/or adjusted look back period (each adjustment that is applicable due to the triggering event), within one (1) business day of an event that requires any adjustment described in the two immediately preceding sentences.

 

Holder shall be entitled to deduct $500.00 from the conversion amount in each Notice of Conversion to cover Holder’s deposit fees associated with each Notice of Conversion.

 

  1.3 Authorized Shares. The Borrower covenants that during the period the conversion right exists, the Borrower will reserve from its authorized and unissued Common Stock 20,000,000 shares, free from preemptive rights, to provide for the issuance of Common Stock upon the full conversion of this Note. If, at any time the Borrower does not maintain the Reserved Amount it will be considered an Event of Default under Section 3.2 of the Note.
       
  1.4 Method of Conversion.
       
    (a) Mechanics of Conversion. Subject to Section 1.1, this Note may be converted by the Holder in whole or in part, at any time on or after the Issue Date, by (A)submitting to the Borrower a Notice of Conversion (by facsimile, e-mail or other reasonable means of communication dispatched on the Conversion Date prior to 6:00 p.m., New York, New York time) and (B) subject to Section 1.4(b), surrendering this Note at the principal office of the Borrower.
       
    (b) Surrender of Note Upon Conversion. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary set forth herein, upon conversion of this Note in accordance with the terms hereof, the Holder shall not be required to physically surrender this Note to the Borrower unless the entire unpaid principal amount of this Note is so converted. The Holder and the Borrower shall maintain records showing the principal amount so converted and the dates of such conversions or shall use such other method, reasonably satisfactory to the Holder and the Borrower, so as not to require physical surrender of this Note upon each such conversion. In the event of any dispute or discrepancy, such records of the Borrower shall, prima facie, be controlling and determinative in the absence of manifest error. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if any portion of this Note is converted as aforesaid, the Holder may not transfer this Note unless the Holder first physically surrenders this Note to the Borrower, whereupon the Borrower will forthwith issue and deliver upon the order of the Holder a new Note of like tenor, registered as the Holder (upon payment by the Holder of any applicable transfer taxes) may request, representing in the aggregate the remaining unpaid principal amount of this Note. The Holder and any assignee, by acceptance of this Note, acknowledge and agree that, by reason of the provisions of this paragraph, following conversion of a portion of this Note, the unpaid and unconverted principal amount of this Note represented by this Note may be less than the amount stated on the face hereof.

 

3

 

 

    (c) Payment of Taxes. The Borrower shall not be required to pay any tax which may be payable in respect of any transfer involved in the issue and delivery of shares of Common Stock or other securities or property on conversion of this Note in a name other than that of the Holder (or in street name), and the Borrower shall not be required to issue or deliver any such shares or other securities or property unless and until the person or persons (other than the Holder or the custodian in whose street name such shares are to be held for the Holder’s account) requesting the issuance thereof shall have paid to the Borrower the amount of any such tax or shall have established to the satisfaction of the Borrower that such tax has been paid.
       
    (d) Delivery of Common Stock Upon Conversion. Upon receipt by the Borrower from the Holder of a facsimile transmission or e-mail (or other reasonable means of communication) of a Notice of Conversion meeting the requirements for conversion as provided in this Section 1.4, the Borrower shall issue and deliver or cause to be issued and delivered to or upon the order of the Holder certificates for the Common Stock issuable upon such conversion within two (2) business days after such receipt (the “Deadline”) (and, solely in the case of conversion of the entire unpaid principal amount hereof, surrender of this Note) in accordance with the terms hereof.
       
    (e) Obligation of Borrower to Deliver Common Stock. Upon receipt by the Borrower of a Notice of Conversion, the Holder shall be deemed to be the holder of record of the Common Stock issuable upon such conversion, the outstanding principal amount and the amount of accrued and unpaid interest on this Note shall be reduced to reflect such conversion, and, unless the Borrower defaults on its obligations under this Article I, all rights with respect to the portion of this Note being so converted shall forthwith terminate except the right to receive the Common Stock or other securities, cash or other assets, as herein provided, on such conversion. If the Holder shall have given a Notice of Conversion as provided herein, the Borrower’s obligation to issue and deliver the certificates for Common Stock shall be absolute and unconditional, irrespective of the absence of any action by the Holder to enforce the same, any waiver or consent with respect to any provision thereof, the recovery of any judgment against any person or any action to enforce the same, any failure or delay in the enforcement of any other obligation of the Borrower to the holder of record, or any setoff, counterclaim, recoupment, limitation or termination, or any breach or alleged breach by the Holder of any obligation to the Borrower, and irrespective of any other circumstance which might otherwise limit such obligation of the Borrower to the Holder in connection with such conversion. The Conversion Date specified in the Notice of Conversion shall be the Conversion Date so long as the Notice of Conversion is received by the Borrower before 6:00 p.m., New York, New York time, on such date.
       
    (f) Delivery of Common Stock by Electronic Transfer. In lieu of delivering physical certificates representing the Common Stock issuable upon conversion, provided the Borrower is participating in the Depository Trust Company (“DTC”) Fast Automated Securities Transfer (“FAST”) program, upon request of the Holder and its compliance with the provisions contained in Section 1.1 and in this Section 1.4, the Borrower shall use its best efforts to cause its transfer agent to electronically transmit the Common Stock issuable upon conversion to the Holder by crediting the account of Holder’s Prime Broker with DTC through its Deposit Withdrawal Agent Commission (“DWAC”) system.

 

4

 

 

    (g) Failure to Deliver Common Stock Prior to Deadline. Without in any way limiting the Holder’s right to pursue other remedies, including actual damages and/or equitable relief, the parties agree that if delivery of the Common Stock issuable upon conversion of this Note is not delivered by the Deadline (deadline shall be deemed within 3 business days, other than a failure due to the circumstances described in Section 1.3 above, which failure shall be governed by such Section) the Borrower shall pay to the Holder $2,000 per day in cash, for each day beyond the Deadline that the Borrower fails to deliver such Common Stock. Such cash amount shall be paid to Holder by the fifth day of the month following the month in which it has accrued or, at the option of the Holder (by written notice to the Borrower by the first day of the month following the month in which it has accrued), shall be added to the principal amount of this Note, in which event interest shall accrue thereon in accordance with the terms of this Note and such additional principal amount shall be convertible into Common Stock in accordance with the terms of this Note. The Borrower agrees that the right to convert is a valuable right to the Holder. The damages resulting from a failure, attempt to frustrate, interference with such conversion right are difficult if not impossible to qualify. Accordingly, the parties acknowledge that the liquidated damages provision contained in this Section 1.4(g) are justified.

 

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

 

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

 

5

 

 

The legend set forth above shall be removed and the Borrower shall issue to the Holder a new certificate therefore free of any transfer legend if (i) the Borrower or its transfer agent shall have received an opinion of counsel, in form, substance and scope customary for opinions of counsel in comparable transactions, to the effect that a public sale or transfer of such Common Stock may be made without registration under the Act, which opinion shall be accepted by the Borrower so that the sale or transfer is effected or (ii) in the case of the Common Stock issuable upon conversion of this Note, such security is registered for sale by the Holder under an effective registration statement filed under the Act or otherwise may be sold pursuant to Rule 144 without any restriction as to the number of securities as of a particular date that can then be immediately sold. In the event that the Borrower does not accept the opinion of counsel provided by the Holder with respect to the transfer of Securities pursuant to an exemption from registration, such as Rule 144, at the Deadline, it will be considered an Event of Default pursuant to Section 3.2 of the Note.

 

  1.6 [Intentionally Omitted].
     
  1.7 Status as Shareholder. Upon submission of a Notice of Conversion by a Holder, (i) the shares covered thereby (other than the shares, if any, whichcannot be issued because their issuance would exceed such Holder’s allocated portion of the Reserved Amount or Maximum Share Amount) shall be deemed converted into shares of Common Stock and (ii) the Holder’s rights as a Holder of such converted portion of this Note shall cease and terminate, excepting only the right to receive certificates for such shares of Common Stock and to any remedies provided herein or otherwise available at law or in equity to such Holder because of a failure by the Borrower to comply with the terms of this Note. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if a Holder has not received certificates for all shares of Common Stock prior to the tenth (10th) business day after the expiration of the Deadline with respect to a conversion of any portion of this Note for any reason, then (unless the Holder otherwise elects to retain its status as a holder of Common Stock by so notifying the Borrower) the Holder shall regain the rights of a Holder of this Note with respect to such unconverted portions of this Note and the Borrower shall, as soon as practicable, return such unconverted Note to the Holder or, if the Note has not been surrendered, adjust its records to reflect that such portion of this Note has not been converted. In all cases, the Holder shall retain all of its rights and remedies (including, without limitation, (i) the right to receive Conversion Default Payments pursuant to Section 1.3 to the extent required thereby for such Conversion Default and any subsequent Conversion Default and (ii) the right to have the Conversion Price with respect to subsequent conversions determined in accordance with Section 1.3) for the Borrower’s failure to convert this Note.

 

6

 

 

ARTICLE II. CERTAIN COVENANTS

 

  2.1 Distributions on Capital Stock. So long as the Borrower shall have any obligation under this Note, the Borrower shall not without the Holder’s written consent (a) pay, declare or set apart for such payment, any dividend or other distribution (whether in cash, property or other securities) on shares of capital stock other than dividends on shares of Common Stock solely in the form of additional shares of Common Stock or (b) directly or indirectly or through any subsidiary make any other payment or distribution in respect of its capital stock except for distributions pursuant to any shareholders’ rights plan which is approved by a majority of the Borrower’s disinterested directors.
     
  2.2 Restriction on Stock Repurchases. So long as the Borrower shall have any obligation under this Note, the Borrower shall not without the Holder’s written consent redeem, repurchase or otherwise acquire (whether for cash or in exchange for property or other securities or otherwise) in any one transaction or series of related transactions any shares of capital stock of the Borrower or any warrants, rights or options to purchase or acquire any such shares.

 

ARTICLE III. EVENTS OF DEFAULT

 

If any of the following events of default (each, an “Event of Default”) shall occur:

  3.4 Conversion and the Shares.

It is an obligation of the Borrower to remain current in its obligations to its transfer agent. It shall be an event of default of this Note, if a conversion of this Note is delayed, hindered or frustrated due to a balance owed by the Borrower to its transfer agent. If at the option of the Holder, the Holder advances any funds to the Borrower’s transfer agent in order to process a conversion, such advanced funds shall be paid by the Borrower to the Holder within five (5) business days of a demand from the Holder, either in cash or as an addition to the balance of the Note, and such choice of payment method is at the discretion of the Borrower.

 

7

The Borrower restates any of its financial statements filed by the Borrower with OTC Markets for any date or period from two years prior to the Issue Date of this Note and until this Note is no longer outstanding, if the result of such restatement would, by comparison to the unrestated financial statement, have constituted a material adverse effect on the rights of the Holder with respect to this Note.

  4.3 Amendments. This Note and any provision hereof may only be amended by an instrument in writing signed by the Borrower and the Holder. The term “Note” and all reference thereto, as used throughout this instrument, shall mean this instrument as originally executed, or if later amended or supplemented, then as so amended or supplemented.

 

10

 

 

  4.4 Assignability. This Note shall be binding upon the Borrower and its successors and assigns, and shall inure to be the benefit of the Holder and its successors and assigns. Each transferee of this Note must be an “accredited investor” (as defined in Rule 501(a) of the 1933 Act). Notwithstanding anything in this Note to the contrary, this Note may be pledged as collateral in connection with a bona fide margin account or other lending arrangement.
     
  4.5 Cost of Collection. If default is made in the payment of this Note, the Borrower shall pay the Holder hereof costs of collection, including reasonable attorneys’ fees.
     
  4.6 Governing Law. This Note shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of the State of Florida without regard to principles of conflicts of laws. Any action brought by either party against the other concerning the transactions contemplated by this Note shall be brought only in the state and/or federal courts located in Palm Beach County, Florida. The parties to this Note hereby irrevocably waive any objection to jurisdiction and venue of any action instituted hereunder and shall not assert any defense based on lack of jurisdiction or venue or based upon forum non conveniens. The Borrower and Holder waive trial by jury. The prevailing party shall be entitled to recover from the other party its reasonable attorney’s fees and costs. In the event that any provision of this Note or any other agreement delivered in connection herewith is invalid or unenforceable under any applicable statute or rule of law, then such provision shall be deemed inoperative to the extent that it may conflict therewith and shall be deemed modified to conform with such statute or rule of law. Any such provision which may prove invalid or unenforceable under any law shall not affect the validity or enforceability of any other provision of any agreement. Each party hereby irrevocably waives personal service of process and consents to process being served in any suit, action or proceeding in connection with this Agreement or any other Transaction Document by mailing a copy thereof via registered or certified mail or overnight delivery (with evidence of delivery) to such party at the address in effect for notices to it under this Agreement and agrees that such service shall constitute good and sufficient service of process and notice thereof. Nothing contained herein shall be deemed to limit in any way any right to serve process in any other manner permitted by law.
     
  4.7 Certain Amounts. Whenever pursuant to this Note the Borrower is required to pay an amount in excess of the outstanding principal amount (or the portion thereof required to be paid at that time) plus accrued and unpaid interest plus Default Interest on such interest, the Borrower and the Holder agree that the actual damages to the Holder from the receipt of cash payment on this Note may be difficult to determine and the amount to be so paid by the Borrower represents stipulated damages and not a penalty and is intended to compensate the Holder in part for loss of the opportunity to convert this Note and to earn a return from the sale of shares of Common Stock acquired upon conversion of this Note at a price in excess of the price paid for such shares pursuant to this Note. The Borrower and the Holder hereby agree that such amount of stipulated damages is not plainly disproportionate to the possible loss to the Holder from the receipt of a cash payment without the opportunity to convert this Note into shares of Common Stock.

 

11

 

 

  4.8 Remedies. The Borrower acknowledges that a breach by it of its obligations hereunder will cause irreparable harm to the Holder, by vitiating the intent and purpose of the transaction contemplated hereby. Accordingly, the Borrower acknowledges that the remedy at law for a breach of its obligations under this Note will be inadequate and agrees, in the event of a breach or threatened breach by the Borrower of the provisions of this Note, that the Holder shall be entitled, in addition to all other available remedies at law or in equity, and in addition to the penalties assessable herein, to an injunction or injunctions restraining, preventing or curing any breach of this Note and to enforce specifically the terms and provisions thereof, without the necessity of showing economic loss and without any bond or other security being required.
     
  4.9 Prepayment. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Note, the Borrower may prepay any amount outstanding under this Note. In order to prepay this Note pursuant to this Section 4.9, the Borrower shall provide notice to the Holder ten (10) days prior to such respective prepayment date, and the Holder must receive such prepayment within twelve (12) days of the Holder’s receipt of the respective prepayment notice (the “Prepayment Period”). The Holder may convert the Note in whole or in part at any time during the Prepayment Period, subject to the terms and conditions of this Note.
     
  4.10 Usury. If it shall be found that any interest or other amount deemed interest due hereunder violates the applicable law governing usury, the applicable provision shall automatically be revised to equal the maximum rate of interest or other amount deemed interest permitted under applicable law. The Borrower 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 Borrower from paying all or a portion of the principal or interest on this Note.
     
  4.11 Section 3(a)(10) Transactions. Until this Note is satisfied in full, the Borrower shall not enter into a transaction structured in accordance with, based upon, or related or pursuant to, in whole or in part, Section 3(a)(10) of the Securities Act (a “3(a)(10) Transaction”), unless prior written consent is obtained from the Holder. If the Borrower enters into a 3(a)(10) Transaction without such prior written sent from the Holder, then an event of default will occur under Section 3.4 of this Note, and a liquidated damages charge of 25% of the outstanding principal balance of this Note at that time will be assessed and will become immediately due and payable to the Holder, either in the form of cash payment or as an addition to the balance of the Note, as determined by mutual agreement of the Borrower and Holder.
     
  4.12 Reverse Split Penalty. If at any time while this Note is outstanding, the Borrower effectuates a reverse split with respect to the Common Stock, then a liquidated damages charge of 25% of the outstanding principal balance of this Note at that time, will be assessed and will become immediately due and payable to the Holder, either in the form of cash payment or as an addition to the balance of the Note, as determined by mutual agreement of the Borrower and Holder.

 

12

 

 

  4.13 Terms of Future Financings. So long as this Note is outstanding, upon any issuance by the Borrower or any of its subsidiaries of any security with any term more favorable to the holder of such security or with a term in favor of the holder of such security that was not similarly provided to the Holder in this Note, then the Borrower shall notify the Holder of such additional or more favorable term and such term, at Holder’s option, shall become a part of the transaction documents with the Holder. The types of terms contained in another security that may be more favorable to the holder of such security include, but are not limited to, terms addressing conversion discounts, prepayment rate, conversion lookback periods, interest rates, original issue discounts, stock sale price, private placement price per share, and warrant coverage.

 

IN WITNESS WHEREOF, Borrower has caused this Note to be signed in its name by its duly authorized officer this January 8, 2021.

CONSULTING AGREEMENT

 

This Agreement supersedes and replaces any previous agreement effective this 14th day of December 2020 (the “Effective Date”) by and between Leonard Tucker LLC. and assigns of Leonard Tucker LLC. acting as independent contractors to the Company (“Consultant”), and Byzen Digital, Inc., a Nevada corporation (the “Company”)

 

1. Background. The Company desires to retain the services of Consultant to provide primarily general business advice on current standard practices and trends in Consultant’s area of expertise and from time-to-time in a consulting capacity with respect to certain activities or specific projects as described in this Agreement, and Consultant is willing so to act.
   
2. Description of Services. Company hereby retains Consultant as a Consultant to the Company, and Consultant shall be engaged by the Company as a Consultant for the exchange of strategic and business development ideas. Consultant’s relationship with the Company shall be that of an independent contractor and not that of an employee. Accordingly, Consultant shall not be eligible for any employee benefits, nor will the Company make deductions from payments made to Consultant for taxes, which shall be solely Consultant’s responsibility. Consultant shall have no authority to enter contracts which bind the Company or create obligations on the part of the Company. None of the Services are in connection with any capital raising transaction or with directly or indirectly promoting or maintaining a market for the securities of the Company. The Shares to be issued and payment to be made shall be payment towards said exchange of strategic and business development ideas including but not limited to:

 

A. assisting Company’s compliance with Federal securities laws, such as Rules 10b-5 and 15c2-11 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (“Exchange Act”) as well as Rule 144 of the Securities Act of 1933 (“Securities Act”), and state Blue Sky laws which require issuers to provide adequate current information to the public markets.

 

1
 

 

  B. assisting Company’s compliance with SEC Rule 10b-17 which requires timely notice to FINRA of certain corporate actions, including dividends, stock splits, reverse splits, name changes, mergers, acquisitions, dissolutions, bankruptcies or liquidations.
     
  C. assisting Company to qualify its securities with the Securities and Exchange Commission (“Commission”) pursuant to Form 1-A Regulation A Offering under the Securities Act of 1933 by assisting its accountants, auditors, transfer agent, legal counsel, Company officers, directors and principal stockholders.

E. Assisting Company, its legal counsel, accountants, auditors, Company officers, directors, and principal creditors in debt restructurings and specified exchange transactions pursuant to Section 3(a)(10) of the Securities Act.

 

3. Term and Expiration. This Agreement shall become effective as of the Effective Date and shall remain in effect for three (3) years (“initial term”). If the Consultant and/or Company do not provide the other party with thirty (30) days written notice of termination prior to the completion of the Initial term, the Agreement shall automatically extend for an additional three (3) year term. Termination shall not affect the Consultant’s continuing obligations to the Company under Section 5 and 6.
   
4. Consideration. As full consideration for the Services provided and to be provided by Consultant hereunder, the Company shall compensate Consultant (A) 2,000,000 shares of Company Series B Convertible Non-Voting Preferred Stock at .001 per share upon execution of this Agreement whereas the consideration received by the Company from the Consultant for the shares are adequate and the shares when issued are fully paid & non-assessable. The Amendment to the Articles of Incorporation designating the Series B Convertible Non-Voting Preferred Stock is attached hereto as Exhibit “A” (B) $12,500 per month commencing upon Company’s receipt of minimum $400,000 in net proceeds from Original Issue Discount Promissory Notes increasing to $20,000 per month upon the Company’s receipt of $1,000,000 in net proceeds from the Regulation A under the Securities Act of 1933 offering of its securities (C) In the event Consultant generates business for Company, then, on any sales resulting therefrom, Consultant shall be entitled to commission equal to 10% of the net proceeds received by Company therefrom on a continuing basis during the term of this agreement and in perpetuity thereafter payable in cash.

5. Proprietary Information and Assignment of Inventions.

 

(a) Confidentiality of Proprietary Information. Consultant is not obligated to receive Proprietary Information (as defined below), however Consultant understands and agrees that all Proprietary Information shall be the sole property of the Company and its assigns, including all trade secrets, patents, copyrights and other rights in connection therewith. Consultant will hold in confidence and not directly or indirectly use or disclose to any third parties, both during Consultant’s consulting relationship with the Company and for a period of three (3) years after its termination (irrespective of the reason for such termination), any Proprietary Information Consultant obtains or creates during Consultant’s consulting relationship, except to the extent authorized by the Company, or until such Proprietary Information becomes generally known. Third parties include any foreign or domestic patent office. Consultant agrees not to make copies of such Proprietary Information except as authorized by the Company. Upon termination of Consultant’s consulting relationship or upon an earlier request of the Company, Consultant will return or deliver to the Company all tangible forms of such Proprietary Information in Consultant’s possession or control, including but not limited to drawings, specifications, documents, records, devices, models or any other material and copies or reproductions thereof. As used in this Agreement, the term “Proprietary Information” means information or physical material not generally known or available outside the Company or information or physical material entrusted to the Company by third parties. This includes, but is not limited to, inventions, confidential knowledge, copyrights, product ideas, techniques, processes, formulas, object codes, mask works and/or any other information of any type relating to documentation, data, schematics, algorithms, flow charts, mechanisms, research, manufacture, improvements, assembly, installation, marketing, forecasts, sales, pricing, customers, the salaries, duties, qualifications, performance levels and terms of compensation of other employees, and/or cost or other financial data concerning any of the foregoing or the Company and its operations. Proprietary Information may be contained in material such as drawings, samples, procedures, specifications, reports, studies, customer or supplier lists, budgets, cost or price lists, compilations or computer programs, or may be unwritten knowledge or know-how.

 

  (b) License and Assignment of Rights. Consultant acknowledges that all inventions, original works of authorship, developments, concepts, know-how, improvements or trade secrets which are made by Consultant (solely or jointly with others) within the scope of and as part of Consultant’s consultancy with the Company (collectively referred to herein as “Inventions”) are “works made for hire” (to the greatest extent permitted by applicable law) and are compensated by such amounts paid to Consultant under this Agreement, unless regulated otherwise by the mandatory law of the state of Nevada. To the extent that Consultant owns or controls intellectual property rights of any kind in any pre-existing works which are subsequently incorporated by Consultant in any Inventions without the express written permission of the Company, Consultant hereby grants the Company a royalty-free, irrevocable, world-wide, perpetual, non-exclusive license (with the right to sublicense) to make, have made, copy, modify, make derivative works of, use, sell, license, disclose, publish, or otherwise disseminate or transfer such subject matter. Consultant also agrees and warrants that Consultant will not use or incorporate third party proprietary materials into Inventions or disclose third party proprietary information to Company.

 

6. Non-Compete; Nonsolicitation. During the term of Consultancy and for two (2) years thereafter, Consultant will not, without the Company’s prior written consent, (a) directly work on any products or services, or indirectly work on any commercial products or services, that are competitive with products or services (i) being commercially developed or exploited by the Company during Consultant’s consultancy and (ii) on which Consultant worked or about which Consultant learned Proprietary Information during Consultant’s consultancy with the Company; or (b) solicit the employment of any employee of the Company with whom Consultant has had contact in connection with the relationship arising under this Agreement.

 

3
 

 

7. Governing Law. This Agreement shall be governed and construed in accordance with the laws of the State of Nevada.
   
8. No Conflict. Consultant represents that Consultant’s performance of all the terms of this Agreement and that Consultant’s retention as an Consultant by the Company does not and will not breach any agreement to keep in confidence any proprietary information acquired by Consultant in confidence prior to Consultant’s retention as an Consultant by the Company. Consultant has not entered into, and agrees Consultant will not enter into, any agreement, either written or oral, in conflict with the foregoing sentence. Consultant understands as part of the consideration for the offer to retain Consultant as an Consultant, and of Consultant’s retention as an Consultant by the Company, that Consultant has not brought and will not bring with Consultant to the Company or use in the performance of Consultant’s responsibilities at the Company any equipment, supplies, facility or trade secret information of any current or former employer which are not generally available to the public. Consultant also understands that, in Consultant’s retention as an Consultant with the Company, Consultant is not to breach any obligation of confidentiality that Consultant has to others, and Consultant agrees that Consultant shall fulfill all such obligations during Consultant’s retention as an Consultant with the Company.
   
9. Mediation and Arbitration. Any dispute arising under this Agreement shall be resolved through a mediation - arbitration approach. The parties agree to select a mutually agreeable, neutral third party to help them mediate any dispute that arises under the terms of this Agreement. Costs and fees associated with the mediation shall be shared equally by the parties. If the mediation is unsuccessful, the parties agree that the dispute shall be decided by a single arbitrator by binding arbitration under the rules of the American Arbitration Association in Carson City County, Nevada. The decision of the arbitrator shall be final and binding on the parties and may be entered and enforced in any court of competent jurisdiction by either party. The prevailing party in the arbitration proceedings shall be awarded reasonable attorney fees, expert witness costs and expenses, and all other costs and expenses incurred directly or indirectly in connection with the proceedings, unless the arbitrator shall for good cause determine otherwise.
   
10. Advice of Counsel. EACH PARTY ACKNOWLEDGES THAT, IN EXECUTING THIS AGREEMENT, SUCH PARTY HAS HAD THE OPPORTUNITY TO SEEK THE ADVICE OF INDEPENDENT LEGAL COUNSEL AND HAS READ AND UNDERSTOOD ALL OF THE TERMS AND PROVISIONS OF THIS AGREEMENT. THIS AGREEMENT SHALL NOT BE CONSTRUED AGAINST ANY PARTY BY REASON OF THE DRAFTING OR PREPARATION HEREOF.

 

4
 

 

11. Miscellaneous. This Agreement shall be binding upon and shall inure to the benefit of the Company’s successors, transferees, and assigns. Any amendment to this Agreement must be in writing signed by Consultant and the Company. The Company and Consultant acknowledge that any amendment of this Agreement or any departure from the terms or conditions hereof with respect to Consultant’s consulting services for the Company is subject to the Company’s and Consultant’s prior written approval.
