Item 1.01 Entry into a Material Definitive Agreement.

 

Convertible Promissory Note with Sojourn Investments, LP

 

On April 12, 2017, pursuant to a Note Purchase Agreement, Code Green Apparel Corp. (“ we ”, “ us ” and the “ Company ”) sold a 10% Convertible Debenture in the principal amount of $32,500 (which included a $5,000 original issue discount) to Sojourn Investments, LP (“ Sojourn ” and the “ Sojourn Debenture ”). The principal amount of the debenture accrues at 10% per annum until paid or converted into common stock (18% upon the occurrence of an event of default). The Sojourn Debenture has a maturity date of January 12, 2018, provided the debenture can be repaid at any time, provided that if repaid more than 30 days after the issuance date, we are required to pay 130% of the principal amount of the debenture, together with accrued interest.

 

The Sojourn Debenture is convertible into shares of our common stock at any time, at a conversion price equal to 58% of the average of the lowest three (3) closing prices during the prior 20 trading days.

 

In the event we fail to deliver the shares of common stock issuable upon conversion of the debenture within three business days of our receipt of a conversion notice, we are required to pay Sojourn $1,000 per day for each day that we fail to deliver such shares for up to the first 30 days that the failure continues.

 

At no time may the Sojourn Debenture be converted into shares of our common stock if such conversion would result in Sojourn and its affiliates owning an aggregate of in excess of 4.99% of the then outstanding shares of our common stock.

 

The Sojourn Debenture provides for standard and customary events of default such as failing to timely make payments under the Sojourn Debenture when due and the failure of the Company to timely comply with the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, reporting requirements. Additionally, upon the occurrence of certain defaults, as described in the Sojourn Debenture , we are required to pay Sojourn liquidated damages in addition to the amount owed under the Sojourn Debenture .

 

We hope to repay the Sojourn Debenture prior to any conversion. In the event that the Sojourn Debenture is not repaid in cash in its entirety, Company shareholders may suffer dilution if and to the extent that the balance of the Sojourn Debenture is converted into common stock.

 

The description of the Sojourn Debenture and Note Purchase Agreement above is not complete and is qualified in its entirety by the full text of the Sojourn Debenture and Note Purchase Agreement, filed herewith as  Exhibits 10.2 and 10.1 , respectively, which are incorporated by reference in this Item 1.01.

 

Convertible Promissory Note with Carebourn Capital, L.P.

 

On April 17, 2017, we sold Carebourn Capital, L.P. (“ Carebourn ”) a Convertible Promissory Note in the principal amount of $135,575 (the “ Carebourn Convertible Note ”), pursuant to a Securities Purchase Agreement, dated April 17, 2017. The Carebourn Convertible Note bears interest at the rate of 12% per annum (22% upon an event of default) and is due and payable on April 17, 2018. The Carebourn Convertible Note had an original issue discount of $27,075. In addition, we paid $8,500 of Carebourn’s expenses and attorney fees in connection with the sale of the note, which were included in the principal amount of the note.

 

Periodic payments are due by us on the Carebourn Convertible Note at the rate of $565 per day ($135,575 / 240 days)(the “ Repayment Amount ”), via direct withdrawal from our bank account. The Repayment Amount automatically adjusts to a prorated higher amount in the amount any penalties or events of default occur under the Carebourn Convertible Note.

 

The Carebourn Convertible Note provides for standard and customary events of default such as failing to timely make payments under the Carebourn Convertible Note when due, the failure of the Company to timely comply with the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, reporting requirements and the failure to maintain a listing on the OTCQB. Additionally, upon the occurrence of certain defaults, as described in the Carebourn Convertible Note, we are required to pay Carebourn liquidated damages in addition to the amount owed under the Carebourn Convertible Note.

 

 
 

 

The principal amount of the Carebourn Convertible Note and all accrued interest is convertible at the option of the holder thereof into our common stock at any time following the 180th day after the Carebourn Convertible Note was issued. The conversion price of the Carebourn Convertible Note is equal to 50% of the average of the lowest three (3) trading prices of the Company’s common stock during the twenty trading days prior to the conversion date.

 

In the event we fail to deliver the shares of common stock issuable upon conversion of the note within three business days of our receipt of a conversion notice, we are required to pay Carebourn $1,500 per day for each day that we fail to deliver such shares.

 

At no time may the Carebourn Convertible Note be converted into shares of our common stock if such conversion would result in Carebourn and its affiliates owning an aggregate of in excess of 4.99% of the then outstanding shares of our common stock.

 

We may prepay in full the unpaid principal and interest on the Carebourn Convertible Note, with at least 20 trading days’ notice, (a) any time prior to the 180th day after the issuance date, by paying 130% of the principal amount of the note together with accrued interest thereon; and (b) any time after the 180th day after the issuance date and prior to the 364 th day after issuance, by paying 150% of the principal amount of the note together with accrued interest thereon.

 

The Carebourn Convertible Note also contains customary positive and negative covenants.

 

We hope to repay the Carebourn Convertible Note prior to any conversion. In the event that the Carebourn Convertible Note is not repaid in cash in its entirety, Company shareholders may suffer dilution if and to the extent that the balance of the Carebourn Convertible Note is converted into common stock.

 

The description of the Carebourn Convertible Note and Subscription Agreement above is not complete and is qualified in its entirety by the full text of the Carebourn Convertible Note and Subscription Agreement, filed herewith as  Exhibits 10.3 and 10.4 , respectively, which are incorporated by reference in this Item 1.01.

Item 3.02 Unregistered Sales of Equity Securities.

 

As described above under Item 1.01, which disclosures are incorporated by reference in this Item 3.02, on April 12, 2017, we sold Sojourn the Sojourn Debenture and April 17, 2017, we sold Carebourn the Carebourn Convertible Note. The note and debenture are convertible into our common stock at a discount to the trading price of our common stock as described in greater detail above. We claim an exemption from registration for the issuance of such convertible securities pursuant to Section 4(a)(2) and/or Rule 506 of Regulation D of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “ Securities Act ”), since the foregoing issuances did not involve a public offering, the recipients were (i) an “ accredited investor ”; and/or (ii) had access to similar documentation and information as would be required in a Registration Statement under the Securities Act, and the recipients acquired the securities for investment only and not with a view towards, or for resale in connection with, the public sale or distribution thereof. The securities were offered without any general solicitation by us or our representatives. No underwriters or agents were involved in the foregoing issuance and we paid no underwriting discounts or commissions. The securities sold are subject to transfer restrictions, and the certificates evidencing the securities contain an appropriate legend stating that such securities have not been registered under the Securities Act and may not be offered or sold absent registration or pursuant to an exemption therefrom. The securities were not registered under the Securities Act and such securities may not be offered or sold in the United States absent registration or an exemption from registration under the Securities Act and any applicable state securities laws.

Section 3. EVENTS OF DEFAULT.

 

(a)          “Event of Default”, wherever used herein, means any one of the following events (whatever the reason and whether it shall be voluntary or involuntary or effected by operation of law or pursuant to any judgment, decree or order of any court, or any order, rule or regulation of any administrative or governmental body):

 

(i)         any default in the payment of the principal or interest (including Late Fees) on, or liquidated damages in respect to this Debenture, as and when the same shall become due and payable (whether on a Conversion Date or the Maturity Date or by acceleration or otherwise) which default is not cured, if possible to cure, within 7 Business Days of notice of such default sent by the Holder;

(iii)       the Company shall fail to timely file all reports required to be filed by it with the SEC pursuant to Section 13 or 15(d) of the Securities and Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”), or otherwise required by the Exchange Act, and which failure to file is not cured within 14 Business Days.

If the COMPANY fails to perform hereunder by causing to be delivered or by issuing a treasury order to its transfer agent for the Conversion Shares or paying principal and or interest within 3 Business Days of said being due, then for the first up to 30 calendar days from the due date of said performance, the COMPANY shall also owe payable immediately an amount equal to $1,000 per day as a reasonable “Late Fee” in addition to any other damages and reasonable attorney fees and costs payable, to cover, on a non accountable basis, the time, expense, efforts and or distress of the HOLDER having to focus its management, advisors, and counselors on the matter of the COMPANY failing to honor its written obligations, and said figure is deemed a reasonable liquidated damages provision and is not an election of remedy and is non exclusive so the HOLDER can add and pursue all rights otherwise.

The Holder need not provide and the Company hereby waives any presentment, demand, protest or other notice of any kind, and the Holder may immediately and without expiration of any grace period enforce any and all of its rights and remedies hereunder and all other remedies available to it under applicable law. Such declaration may be rescinded and annulled by Holder at any time prior to payment hereunder and the Holder shall have all rights as a Debenture holder until such time, if any, as the full payment under this Section shall have been received by it. No such rescission or annulment shall affect any subsequent Event of Default or impair any right consequent thereon.

 

(c)          Upon the occurrence of an Event of Default, (i) interest shall accrue on the Outstanding Balance both before and after judgment at the rate of eighteen percent (18%) per annum; and (ii) the Outstanding Balance shall automatically increase to an amount

 

  3

 

 

equal to the Outstanding Balance immediately prior to such Event of Default multiplied by 125%, all without the need for any further notice to or action by any party hereunder; provided, however, that such increase may only be applied with respect to two Events of Default under this Note, and not to any additional Events of Default.

 

Section 4. Conversion .

 

(a) (i) Holder’s Conversion Right. At any time after the Original Issue Date until this Debenture is no longer outstanding, this Debenture, including interest and principal, shall be convertible into shares (“Conversion Shares”) of Common Stock at a discount of forty two percent (42%) off the average of the lowest three (3) closing prices during the prior 20 trading days, determined on the then current trading market for the Company’s common stock, for 20 trading days prior to conversion (the “Set Price”) at the option of the Holder, in whole or in part at any time and from time to time. The Holder shall effect conversions by delivering to the Company the form of Notice of Conversion attached hereto as Exhibit 1C (a “Notice of Conversion”), specifying the date on which such conversion is to be effected (a “Conversion Date”). If no Conversion Date is specified in a Notice of Conversion, the Conversion Date shall be the date that such Notice of Conversion is provided hereunder. To effect conversions hereunder, the Holder shall not be required to physically surrender the Debentures to the Company. In the event of any dispute or discrepancy, the records of the Holder shall be reasonably controlling and determinative in the absence of manifest error. If the Conversion Shares are not delivered to Holder within THREE (3) Business Days, the Company shall be responsible for any differential in the value of the converted shares underlying this Debenture between the value of the closing price on the date the shares should have been delivered and the date the shares are delivered. In addition, if the COMPANY fails to timely (within 72 hours, 3 Business Days), issue a treasury order to its transfer agent or otherwise cause to be delivered, the Conversion Shares per the instructions of the HOLDER, free and clear of all legends in legal free trading form, subject to all applicable securities laws, the COMPANY shall allow HOLDER, among other remedies, to add two (2) days to the look-back (the mechanism used to obtain the conversion price along with discount) for each day the COMPANY fails to timely (within 72 hours, 3 Business Days)) deliver shares, on the next conversion.

 

(ii)        If the Company, at any time while this Debenture is outstanding: (A) shall pay a stock dividend or otherwise make a distribution or distributions on shares of its Common Stock or any other equity or equity equivalent securities payable in shares of Common Stock (which, for avoidance of doubt, shall not include any shares of Common Stock issued by the Company pursuant to this Debenture, including as interest thereon), (B) subdivide outstanding shares of Common Stock into a larger number of shares, (C) combine (including by way of reverse stock split) outstanding shares of Common Stock into a smaller number of shares, or (D) issue by reclassification of shares of the Common Stock any shares of capital stock of the Company, then the Set Price shall be multiplied by a fraction of which the numerator shall be the number of shares of Common Stock (excluding treasury shares, if any) outstanding before such event and of which the denominator shall be the number of shares of Common Stock outstanding after such event. Any adjustment made pursuant to this Section shall become effective

 

  4

 

 

immediately after the record date for the determination of stockholders entitled to receive such dividend or distribution and shall become effective immediately after the effective date in the case of a subdivision, combination or re-classification.

 

(iii)       Whenever the Set Price is adjusted pursuant to any of Section 4, the Company shall promptly mail to each Holder a notice setting forth the Set Price after such adjustment and setting forth a brief statement of the facts requiring such adjustment.

 

(iv)       If (A) the Company shall declare a dividend (or any other distribution) on the Common Stock; (B) the Company shall declare a special nonrecurring cash dividend on or a redemption of the Common Stock; (C) the Company shall authorize the granting to all holders of the Common Stock rights or warrants to subscribe for or purchase any shares of capital stock of any class or of any rights; (D) the approval of any stockholders of the Company shall be required in connection with any reclassification of the Common Stock, any consolidation or merger to which the Company is a party, any sale or transfer of all or substantially all of the assets of the Company, of any compulsory share exchange whereby the Common Stock is converted into other securities, cash or property; (E) the Company shall authorize the voluntary or involuntary dissolution, liquidation or winding up of the affairs of the Company; then, in each case, the Company shall cause to be filed at each office or agency maintained for the purpose of conversion of the Debentures, and shall cause to be mailed to the Holders at their last addresses as they shall appear upon the stock books of the Company, at least 20 calendar days prior to the applicable record or effective date hereinafter specified, a notice stating (x) the date on which a record is to be taken for the purpose of such dividend, distribution, redemption, rights or warrants, or if a record is not to be taken, the date as of which the holders of the Common Stock of record to be entitled to such dividend, distributions, redemption, rights or warrants are to be determined or (y) the date on which such reclassification, consolidation, merger, sale, transfer or share exchange is expected to become effective or close, and the date as of which it is expected that holders of the Common Stock of record shall be entitled to exchange their shares of the Common Stock for securities, cash or other property deliverable upon such reclassification, consolidation, merger, sale, transfer or share exchange; provided, that the failure to mail such notice or any defect therein or in the mailing thereof shall not affect the validity of the corporate action required to be specified in such notice. Holders are entitled to convert Debentures during the 20-day period commencing the date of such notice to the effective date of the event triggering such notice.

Transaction”), then upon any subsequent conversion of this Debenture, the Holder shall have the right to receive, for each Underlying Share that would have been issuable upon such conversion absent such Fundamental Transaction, the same kind and amount of securities, cash or property as it would have been entitled to receive upon the occurrence of such Fundamental Transaction if it had been, immediately prior to such Fundamental Transaction, the holder of one share of Common Stock (the “Alternate Consideration”). For purposes of any such conversion, the determination of the Set Price shall be appropriately adjusted to apply to such Alternate Consideration based on the amount of Alternate Consideration issuable in respect of one share of Common Stock in such Fundamental Transaction, and the Company shall apportion the Set Price among the Alternate Consideration in a reasonable manner reflecting the relative value of any different components of the Alternate Consideration. If holders of Common Stock are given any choice as to the securities, cash or property to be received in a Fundamental Transaction, then the Holder shall be given the same choice as to the Alternate consideration it receives upon any conversion of this Debenture following such Fundamental Transaction. To the extent necessary to effectuate the foregoing provisions, any successor to the Company or surviving entity in such Fundamental Transaction shall issue to the Holder a new debenture consistent with the foregoing provisions and evidencing the Holder’s right to convert such debenture into Alternate Consideration. The terms of any agreement pursuant to which a Fundamental Transaction is effected shall include terms requiring any such successor or surviving entity to comply with the provisions of this paragraph and insuring that this Debenture (or any such replacement security) will be similarly adjusted upon any subsequent transaction analogous to a Fundamental Transaction. Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, the Company Agrees not to close or complete a Fundamental Transaction unless (i) Holder has consented in writing to such Fundamental Transaction, or (ii) the Company has paid to Holder the entire Outstanding Balance of this Note. If any Fundamental Transaction constitutes or results in a Change of Control Transaction, then at the request of the Holder delivered before the 90th day after such Fundamental Transaction, the Company (or any such successor or surviving entity) will purchase the Debenture from the Holder for a purchase price, payable in cash within 10 Business Days after such request (or, if later, on the effective date of the Fundamental Transaction), equal to the 125% of the remaining unconverted principal amount of this Debenture on the date of such request, plus all accrued and unpaid interest thereon, plus all other accrued and unpaid amounts due hereunder.

 

(b)          The Company covenants that it will at all times reserve and keep available out of its authorized and unissued shares of Common Stock a sufficient number of shares solely for the purpose of issuance to Holder upon conversion of this Debenture.

 

(c)          Any and all notices or other communications or deliveries to be provided by the Holders hereunder, including, without limitation, any Notice of Conversion, shall be in writing and delivered personally, by facsimile, sent by a nationally recognized overnight courier service, addressed to the Company, at the address set forth or such other address or facsimile number as the Company may specify for such purposes by notice to the Holders delivered in accordance with this Section.

(d)          Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein contained, the Holder may not convert this Debenture to the extent such conversion would result in the Holder, together with any affiliate thereof, beneficially owning (as determined in accordance with Section 13(d) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”) and the rules promulgated thereunder) in excess of 4.99% of the then issued and outstanding shares of Common Stock, including shares issuable upon such conversion and held by the Holder after application of this section. The provisions of this section may be waived by the Holder (but only as to itself and not to any other Holder) upon not less than 61 days prior notice to the Company. No conversion shall be effected if such conversion shall result in derivative accounting treatment for the Company. Other Holders shall be unaffected by any such waiver.

Each party hereto hereby irrevocably submits to the exclusive jurisdiction of the Texas Courts for the adjudication of any dispute hereunder or in connection herewith or with any transaction contemplated hereby or discussed herein (including with respect to the enforcement of any of the Transaction Documents), and hereby irrevocably waives, and agrees not to assert in any suit, action or proceeding, any claim that it is not personally subject to the jurisdiction of any such court, or such Texas Courts are improper or inconvenient venue for such proceeding.

proceeding arising out of or relating to this Debenture or the transactions contemplated hereby. If either party shall commence an action or proceeding to enforce any provisions of this Debenture, then the prevailing party in such action or proceeding shall be reimbursed by the other party for its attorneys fees and other costs and expenses incurred with the investigation, preparation and prosecution of such action or proceeding.

 

Section 11.

The Company covenants (to the extent that it may lawfully do so) that it shall not at any time insist upon, plead, or in any manner whatsoever claim or take the benefit or advantage of, any stay, extension or usury law or other law which would prohibit or forgive the Company from paying all or any portion of the principal of or interest on the Debentures as contemplated herein, wherever enacted, now or at any time hereafter in force, or which may affect the covenants or the performance of this indenture, and the Company (to the extent it may lawfully do so) hereby expressly waives all benefits or advantage of any such law, and covenants that it will not, by resort to any such law, hinder, delay or impeded the execution of any power herein granted to the Holder, but will suffer and permit the execution of every such as though no such law has been enacted.

 

Section 13. Whenever any payment or other obligation hereunder shall be due on a day other than a Business Day, such payment shall be made on the next succeeding Business Day. Time is of the essence for all obligations arising hereunder.

 

Section 14. In the event of any action at law or in equity to enforce or interpret the terms of this Debenture, the parties agree that the party who is awarded the most money shall be deemed the prevailing party for all purposes and shall therefore be entitled to an additional award of the full amount of the attorneys’ fees and expenses paid by such prevailing party in connection with the litigation and/or dispute without reduction or apportionment based upon the individual claims or defenses giving rise to the fees and expenses.

CONVERTIBLE PROMISSORY NOTE

 

FOR VALUE RECEIVED , Code Green Apparel Corporation a Nevada corporation (hereinafter called the “Borrower”), hereby promises to pay to the order of CAREBOURN CAPITAL, L.P. , a Delaware limited partnership, or registered assigns (the “Holder”) the sum of $135,575.00 together with any interest as set forth herein, on April 17, 2018 (the “Maturity Date”), and to pay interest on the unpaid principal balance hereof at the rate of 12% (The “Interest Rate”) per annum from the date hereof (the “Issue Date”) until the same becomes due and payable, whether at maturity or upon acceleration or by prepayment or otherwise. This Note may not be prepaid in whole or in part except as otherwise explicitly set forth herein. Any amount of principal or interest on this Note which is not paid when due shall bear interest at the rate of twenty two percent (22%) per annum from the due date thereof until the same is paid (“Default Interest”). Interest shall commence accruing on the date that the Note is fully paid and shall be computed on the basis of a 365-day year and the actual number of days elapsed. All payments due hereunder (to the extent not converted into common stock, $0.001 par value per share (the “Common Stock”) in accordance with the terms hereof) shall be made in lawful money of the United States of America. All payments shall be made at such address as the Holder shall hereafter give to the Borrower by written notice made in accordance with the provisions of this Note. Whenever any amount expressed to be due by the terms of this Note is due on any day which is not a business day, the same shall instead be due on the next succeeding day which is a business day and, in the case of any interest payment date which is not the date on which this Note is paid in full, the extension of the due date thereof shall not be taken into account for purposes of determining the amount of interest due on such date. As used in this Note, the term “business day” shall mean any day other than a Saturday, Sunday or a day on which commercial banks in the city of New York, New York are authorized or required by law or executive order to remain closed. Each capitalized term used herein, and not otherwise defined, shall have the meaning ascribed thereto in that certain Securities Purchase Agreement

 

 

 

 

dated the date hereof, pursuant to which this Note was originally issued (the “Purchase Agreement”).

 

This Note carries an original issue discount of $27,075.00 (the “OID”). In addition, the Borrower shall authorize the Holder, pursuant to a disbursement memorandum dated on or around the Issue Date, to pay $8,000.00 (the “Transactional Expense Amount”) to the Holder or the Holder’s designee, to cover the Holder’s accounting fees, due diligence fees, monitoring (including but not limited to ACH monitoring costs), and/or other transactional costs incurred in connection with the purchase and sale of the Note, as well as $500.00 (the “Legal Fee”) to Holder’s attorney, to cover Holder’s legal review fees in connection with the purchase and sale of the Note, all of which are included in the initial principal balance of this Note. Thus, the purchase price of this Note shall be $108,500.00 , computed as follows: $135,575.00 initial principal balance less the OID. Accordingly, the net amount to be received by the Company shall be $100,000.00 , computed as follows: the purchase price of $108,500.00 , less the Transactional Expense Amount and Legal Fee.

 

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

 

The following terms shall apply to this Note:

 

ARTICLE I. CONVERSION RIGHTS

 

1.1            Conversion Right . The Holder shall have the right from time to time, and at any time following One Hundred and Eighty (180) days after the date of this Note and ending on the later of: (i) the Maturity Date and (ii) the date of payment of the Default Amount (as defined in Article III) pursuant to Section 1.6(a) or Article III, each in respect of the remaining outstanding principal amount of this Note to convert all or any part of the outstanding and unpaid principal amount of this Note into fully paid and non- assessable shares of Common Stock, as such Common Stock exists on the Issue Date, or any shares of capital stock or other securities of the Borrower into which such Common Stock shall hereafter be changed or reclassified at the conversion price (the “Conversion Price”) determined as provided herein (a “Conversion”); provided, however, that in no event shall the Holder be entitled to convert any portion of this Note in excess of that portion of this Note upon conversion of which the sum of (1) the number of shares of Common Stock beneficially owned by the Holder and its affiliates (other than shares of Common Stock which may be deemed beneficially owned through the ownership of the unconverted portion of the Notes or the unexercised or unconverted portion of any other security of the Borrower subject to a limitation on conversion or exercise analogous to the limitations contained herein) and (2) the number of shares of Common Stock issuable upon the conversion of the portion of this Note with respect to which the determination of this proviso is being made, would result in beneficial ownership by the Holder and its affiliates of more than 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 by the Holder upon, at the election of the Holder, not less than 61 days’ prior notice to the Borrower, and the provisions of the

 

2  

 

 

conversion limitation shall continue to apply until such 61st day (or such later date, as determined by the Holder, as may be specified in such notice of waiver). The number of shares of Common Stock to be issued upon each conversion of this Note shall be determined by dividing the Conversion Amount (as defined below) by the applicable Conversion Price then in effect on the date specified in the notice of conversion, in the form attached hereto as Exhibit A (the “Notice of Conversion”), delivered to the Borrower by the Holder in accordance with Section 1.4 below; provided that the Notice of Conversion is submitted by facsimile or e-mail (or by other means resulting in, or reasonably expected to result in, notice) to the Borrower before 6:00 p.m., New York, New York time on such conversion date (the “Conversion Date”). The term “Conversion Amount” means, with respect to any conversion of this Note, the sum of (1) the principal amount of this Note to be converted in such conversion plus (2) at the Holder’s option, accrued and unpaid interest, if any, on such principal amount at the interest rates provided in this Note to the Conversion Date, plus (3) at the Holder’s option, Default Interest, if any, on the amounts referred to in the immediately preceding clauses (1) and/or (2) plus (4) at the Holder’s option, any amounts owed to the Holder pursuant to Sections 1.3 and 1.4(g) hereof.

 

1.2            Conversion Price.

 

Calculation of Conversion Price . The conversion price (the “Conversion Price”) shall equal the Variable Conversion Price (as defined herein) (subject to equitable adjustments for stock splits, stock dividends or rights offerings by the Borrower relating to the Borrower’s securities or the securities of any subsidiary of the Borrower, combinations, recapitalization, reclassifications, extraordinary distributions and similar events). The “Variable Conversion Price” shall mean 50% multiplied by the Market Price (as defined herein) (representing a discount rate of 50% ). “Market Price” means the average of the lowest three (3) Trading Prices (as defined below) for the Common Stock during the twenty (20) Trading Day period ending on the latest complete Trading Day prior to the Conversion Date. “Trading Price” means, for any security as of any date, the lowest price on the OTC Markets OTCQB Marketplace, or applicable trading market (the “OTCQB”) as reported by a reliable reporting service (“Reporting Service”) designated by the Holder (i.e. Bloomberg) or, if the OTCQB is not the principal trading market for such security, the closing bid price of such security on the principal securities exchange or trading market where such security is listed or traded or, if no closing bid price of such security is available in any of the foregoing manners, the average of the closing bid prices of any market makers for such security that are listed in the “pink sheets” by the National Quotation Bureau, Inc. If the Trading Price cannot be calculated for such security on such date in the manner provided above, the Trading Price shall be the fair market value as mutually determined by the Borrower and the holders of a majority in interest of the Notes being converted for which the calculation of the Trading Price is required in order to determine the Conversion Price of such Notes. “Trading Day” shall mean any day on which the Common Stock is tradable for any period on the OTCQB, or on the principal securities exchange or other securities market on which the Common Stock is then being traded.

 

1.3            Authorized Shares . The Borrower covenants that during the period the conversion right exists, the Borrower will reserve from its authorized and unissued Common Stock a sufficient number of shares, free from preemptive rights, to provide for the issuance of Common Stock upon the full conversion of this Note issued pursuant to the Purchase Agreement. The Borrower is required at all times to have authorized and reserved two and half times (2.5) the number of shares that is actually issuable upon full conversion of the Note (based on the

 

3  

 

 

Conversion Price of the Notes in effect from time to time)(the “Reserved Amount”). The Reserved Amount shall be increased from time to time in accordance with the Borrower’s obligations pursuant to Section 4(g) of the Purchase Agreement. The Borrower represents that upon issuance, such shares will be duly and validly issued, fully paid and non-assessable. In addition, if the Borrower shall issue any securities or make any change to its capital structure which would change the number of shares of Common Stock into which the Notes shall be convertible at the then current Conversion Price, the Borrower shall at the same time make proper provision so that thereafter there shall be a sufficient number of shares of Common Stock authorized and reserved, free from preemptive rights, for conversion of the outstanding Notes. The Borrower (i) acknowledges that it has irrevocably instructed its transfer agent to issue certificates for the Common Stock issuable upon conversion of this Note, and (ii) agrees that its issuance of this Note shall constitute full authority to its officers and agents who are charged with the duty of executing stock certificates to execute and issue the necessary certificates for shares of Common Stock in accordance with the terms and conditions of this Note.

 

If, at any time the Borrower does not maintain the Reserved Amount it will be considered an Event of Default under Section 3.2 of the Note. However, upon receipt of written notice from the Holder of Borrower’s failure to maintain the Reserved Amount, the Borrower shall have three (3) days to cure any deficiencies in the Reserved Amount.

 

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 from time to time after One Hundred and Eighty Days (180) following 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.

 

(c)            Payment of Taxes . The Borrower shall not be required to pay any tax

 

4  

 

 

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

 

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

 

(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.

 

(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

 

5  

 

 

equitable relief, the parties agree that if delivery of the Common Stock issuable upon conversion of this Note is not delivered by the Deadline (other than a failure due to the circumstances described in Section 1.3 above, which failure shall be governed by such Section) the Borrower shall pay to the Holder $1,500 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 the shares only in accordance with this Section 1.5 and who is an Accredited Investor (as defined in the Purchase Agreement). Except as otherwise provided in the Purchase Agreement (and subject to the removal provisions set forth below), until such time as the shares of Common Stock issuable upon conversion of this Note have been registered under the Act or otherwise may be sold pursuant to Rule 144 without any restriction as to the number of securities as of a particular date that can then be immediately sold, each certificate for shares of Common Stock issuable upon conversion of this Note that has not been so included in an effective registration statement or that has not been sold pursuant to an effective registration statement or an exemption that permits removal of the legend, shall bear a legend substantially in the following form, as appropriate:

 

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

 

6  

 

 

MAY BE PLEDGED IN CONNECTION WITH A BONA FIDE MARGIN ACCOUNT OR OTHER LOAN OR FINANCING ARRANGEMENT SECURED BY THE SECURITIES.”

 

The legend set forth above shall be removed and 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 Company 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 Company does not accept the opinion of counsel provided by the Buyer with respect to the transfer of Securities pursuant to an exemption from registration, such as Rule 144 or Regulation S, at the Deadline, it will be considered an Event of Default pursuant to Section 3.2 of the Note.

 

1.6            Effect of Certain Events .

 

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

 

(b)            Adjustment Due to Merger, Consolidation, Etc . If, at any time when this Note is issued and outstanding and prior to conversion of all of the Notes, there shall be any merger, consolidation, or an exchange of shares, recapitalization or reorganization pursuant to a merger or consolidation, or other similar event, as a result of which shares of Common Stock of the Borrower shall be changed into the same or a different number of shares of another class or classes of stock or securities of the Borrower or another entity, or in case of any sale or conveyance of all or substantially all of the assets or more than 50% of the total outstanding shares of the Borrower other than in connection with a plan of complete liquidation of the Borrower, then the Holder of this Note shall thereafter have the right to receive upon conversion of this Note, upon the basis and upon the terms and conditions specified herein and in lieu of the shares of Common Stock immediately theretofore issuable upon conversion, such stock, securities or assets which the Holder would have been entitled to receive in such transaction had this Note been converted in full immediately prior to such transaction (without regard to any limitations on conversion set forth herein), and in any such case appropriate provisions shall be made with respect to the rights and interests of the Holder of this Note to the end that the provisions hereof (including, without limitation, provisions for adjustment of the Conversion

 

7  

 

 

Price and of the number of shares issuable upon conversion of the Note) shall thereafter be applicable, as nearly as may be practicable in relation to any securities or assets thereafter deliverable upon the conversion hereof. The Borrower shall not affect any transaction described in this Section 1.6(b) unless (a) it first gives, to the extent practicable, thirty (30) days prior written notice (but in any event at least fifteen (15) days prior written notice) of the record date of the special meeting of shareholders to approve, or if there is no such record date, the consummation of, such merger, consolidation, exchange of shares, recapitalization, reorganization or other similar event or sale of assets (during which time the Holder shall be entitled to convert this Note) and (b) the resulting successor or acquiring entity (if not the Borrower) assumes by written instrument the obligations of this Section 1.6(b). The above provisions shall similarly apply to successive consolidations, mergers, sales, transfers or share exchanges.

 

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

 

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

 

1.7           Trading Market Limitations . Unless permitted by the applicable rules and regulations of the principal securities market on which the Common Stock is then listed or traded, in no event shall the Borrower issue upon conversion of or otherwise pursuant to this Note and the other Notes issued pursuant to the Purchase Agreement more than the maximum number of shares of Common Stock that the Borrower can issue pursuant to any rule of the principal United States securities market on which the Common Stock is then traded (the “Maximum Share Amount”), which shall be 9.99% of the total shares outstanding on the Closing Date (as defined in the Purchase Agreement), subject to equitable adjustment from time to time for stock splits, stock dividends, combinations, capital reorganizations and similar events relating to the Common Stock occurring after the date hereof. Once the Maximum Share Amount has been issued, if the Borrower fails to eliminate any prohibitions under applicable law or the rules or regulations of any stock exchange, interdealer quotation system or other self-regulatory organization with jurisdiction over the Borrower or any of its securities on the Borrower’s ability

1.8           Status as Shareholder . Upon submission of a Notice of Conversion by a Holder, (i) the shares covered thereby (other than the shares, if any, which cannot be issued because their issuance would exceed such Holder’s allocated portion of the Reserved Amount or Maximum Share Amount) shall be deemed converted into shares of Common Stock and (ii) 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.

 

1.9           Prepayment . Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Note, the Borrower may prepay the amounts outstanding hereunder pursuant to the following terms and conditions, and subject to the Holder’s acceptance in Holder’s sole discretion:

(b)          At any time during the period beginning the day which is one hundred and eighty one (181) days following the Issue Date and ending on the date which is three hundred and sixty four (364) days following the Issue Date, the Borrower shall have the right, exercisable on not less than twenty (20) Trading Days prior written notice to the Holder of the Note to prepay the outstanding Note (principal and accrued interest), in full by making a payment to the Holder of an amount in cash equal to 150%, multiplied by the sum of: (w) the then outstanding principal amount of this Note plus (x) accrued and unpaid interest on the unpaid principal amount of this Note plus (y) Default Interest.

 

9  

 

 

(c)          After the expiration of three hundred and sixty four (364) days, the Borrower shall have no right of prepayment.

 

Any notice of prepayment hereunder (an “Optional Prepayment Notice”) shall be delivered to the Holder of the Note at its registered addresses and shall state: (1) that the Borrower is exercising its right to prepay the Note, and (2) the date of prepayment which shall be not more than twenty (20) Trading Days from the date of the Optional Prepayment Notice. On the date fixed for prepayment (the “Optional Prepayment Date”), the Borrower shall make payment of the applicable prepayment amount to or upon the order of the Holder as specified by the Holder in writing to the Borrower at least one (1) business day prior to the Optional Prepayment Date. If the Borrower delivers an Optional Prepayment Notice and fails to pay the applicable prepayment amount due to the Holder of the Note within two (2) business days following the Optional Prepayment Date, the Borrower shall forever forfeit its right to prepay the Note pursuant to this Section 1.9. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Note, the Borrower’s right to prepay the amounts outstanding under this Note, in accordance with the terms and conditions of this Note, is expressly conditional upon the Holder’s written acceptance, in Holder’s sole discretion, of such applicable prepayment during the time that the Borrower is exercising their right to prepay this Note.
