SECURED CONVERTIBLE PROMISSORY NOTE

 

For value received, Lucy Scientific Discovery Inc., a corporation organized under the laws of the province of British Columbia, Canada (“LSDI”), and the undersigned entities, each of which is a subsidiary of LSDI (collectively, the “Borrower”), hereby promises to pay to the order of [_____], a limited partnership organized under the laws of the State of Delaware, or registered assigns (the “Holder”) the principal sum of up to six hundred sixty six thousand six hundred sixty six Dollars ($666,666) or so much as has been advanced in one or more tranches plus the OID (defined below) as applicable (the “Principal Amount”), together with interest on the Principal Amount, on the dates set forth below or upon acceleration or otherwise, as set forth herein (or as may be amended, extended, renewed and refinanced, collectively, this “Note”). Interest on this Note shall accrue at a rate equal to ten percent (10%) per annum (the “Interest Rate”). In no event shall the Interest Rate exceed the maximum rate allowed by law; any interest payment which would for any reason be unlawful under applicable law shall be applied to principal.

 

 

 

 

The consideration to the Borrower for this Note is up to six hundred thousand Dollars ($600,000) (the “Consideration”) to be paid to be paid in one or more tranches (each, a “Tranche”). The first Tranche shall consist of a payment by Holder to Borrower on the Issue Date of no less than two hundred eighty three thousand three hundred thirty four Dollars ($283,334), from which the Holder shall retain twenty thousand Dollars ($20,000) to cover its legal fees. The remainder of the Tranches shall be advanced at the sole discretion of the Holder.

 

The maturity date (“Maturity Date”) for each Tranche shall be at the end of the period that begins from the date each Tranche is advanced (for each Tranche, the “Advance Date”) and ends twelve (12) months thereafter (such periods each referred to herein as a “Tranche Term” and such periods collectively referred to as the “Note Term”), provided however that the Maturity Date for any Tranche shall be not later than twenty four months after the Issue Date. The principal sum, as well as interest and other fees shall be due and payable in accordance with the payment terms set forth in Article I herein. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Maturity Date for this Note, and all Tranches advanced hereunder, shall be no later than the date upon which the Borrower completes a Registered Public Offering of shares of the Borrower. Subject to Section 1.5 below, this Note may not be prepaid in whole or in part except as otherwise explicitly set forth herein.

 

Any amount of principal, interest, other amounts due hereunder or penalties on this Note, which is not paid by the due date as specified herein, shall bear interest at the lesser of the rate of twenty four percent (24%) per annum or the maximum legal amount permitted by law (“Default Interest Rate”), from the due date thereof until the same is paid in full, including following the entry of a judgment in favor of Holder (“Default Interest”).

 

If any payment (other than a payment due at maturity or upon default) is not made on or before its due date, the Holder may at its discretion collect a delinquency charge equal to the greater of one hundred Dollars ($100.00) or five (5%) percent of the unpaid amount. The unpaid balances on all obligations payable by Borrower and due to Holder pursuant to the terms of this Note, shall in addition to other remedies contained herein, bear interest after default or maturity at an annual rate equal to the Default Interest rate.

 

All payments of principal and interest due hereunder (to the extent not converted into Borrower’s common stock (the “Common Stock” or “Common Shares”)) shall be paid by automatic debit, wire transfer, check or in coin or currency which, at the time or times of payment, is the legal tender for public and private debts in the United States of America and shall be made at such place as Holder or the legal holder or holders of the Note may from time to time appoint in a payment invoice or otherwise in writing, and in the absence of such appointment, then at the offices of Holder at such address as the Holder shall hereafter give to the Borrower by written notice made in accordance with the provisions of this Note. Unless otherwise agreed or required by applicable law, payments will be applied first to any accrued unpaid interest, then to any late charges, and then to principal. 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, interest shall continue to accrue during such extension. 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 carries an original issue discount of sixty six thousand six hundred sixty six Dollars ($66,666) (the “OID”), to cover the Holder’s accounting fees, due diligence fees, monitoring, and/or other transactional costs incurred in connection with the purchase and sale of the Note, which is included in the principal balance of this Note. Thus, the purchase price of this Note shall be six hundred thousand Dollars ($600,000), computed as follows: the Principal Amount minus the OID. The OID shall be earned upon each Tranche on a pro rata basis of their proportion of the total Consideration. For example, upon the advance of the first Tranche, thirty one thousand four hundred eighty one and 56/100 Dollars ($31,481.56) shall be added to the principal amount of the outstanding Note in addition to the amount advanced, and the total amount owed, or the total principal amount, shall be three hundred fourteen thousand eight hundred fifteen and 56/100 Dollars ($314,815.56).

 

It is further acknowledged and agreed that the Principal Amount owed by Borrower under this Note shall be increased by the amount of all reasonable expenses incurred by the Holder in connection with the collection of amounts due, or enforcement of any terms pursuant to, this Note. All such expenses shall be deemed added to the Principal Amount hereunder to the extent such expenses are paid or incurred by the Holder.

 

This Note is issued by the Borrower to the Holder pursuant to the terms of that certain Securities Purchase Agreement even date herewith (the “Purchase Agreement”), terms of which are incorporated by reference and made part of this Note. Each capitalized term used herein, and not otherwise defined, shall have the meaning ascribed thereto in the Purchase Agreement. As used herein, the term “Trading Day” means any day that the Common Shares are listed for trading or quotation on any US based exchange or electronic quotation systems on which the Common Shares are then traded.

 

This Note shall be a senior secured obligation of the Borrower, with first priority over all current and future Indebtedness (as defined below) of the Borrower and any subsidiaries, whether such subsidiaries exist on the Issue Date or are created or acquired thereafter (each a “Subsidiary” and collectively, the “Subsidiaries”). The obligations of the Borrower under this Note are secured pursuant to the terms of the security and pledge agreement, of even date herewith, by and between the Borrower and the Holder (the “Security and Pledge Agreement” and collectively with the Purchase Agreement, and other related ancillary documents and agreements executed in connection thereto, the “Transaction Documents”), a copy of which is attached hereto as Exhibit C. The terms of the Transaction Documents are incorporated by reference and made part of this Note. With respect to any Subsidiary created or acquired subsequent to the Issue Date, Borrower agrees to cause such Subsidiary to execute any documents or agreements that would bind the Subsidiary to the terms herein and in the other Transaction Documents.

 

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 or members, as applicable, of Borrower and will not impose personal liability upon the holder thereof.

In addition to the terms above, the following terms shall also apply to this Note:

 

ARTICLE I. PAYMENTS

 

1.1 Principal Payments. The Principal Amount of each Tranche shall be due and payable on the Maturity Date.

 

1.2 Interest Payments. Interest on this Note (i) is computed separately for each Tranche; (ii) is charged on a monthly basis (that is, for each month during each Tranche Term, the amount of accrued interest is determined by multiplying one twelfth (1/12th) of the Interest Rate by the sum of the principal amount plus, if applicable, any accrued and previously due but unpaid interest of such Tranche); (iii) is payable monthly (that is, the monthly interest for each Tranche shall be due on each monthly anniversary of the Advance Date during the Tranche Term); and (iv) is guaranteed to the Holder for the entirety of each Tranche Term, without regard to an acceleration of the Maturity Date, based on the total Principal Amount of each Tranche, without regard to a reduction of the Principal Amount resulting from, without limitation, Principal Payments, Conversion (as defined below), or subject to Section 1.5 below, prepayment by Borrower. See Exhibit E, attached hereto, for a complete payment schedule for the first Tranche. Payment schedules for additional Tranches shall be provided upon distribution of such additional Tranches, upon request.

 

1.3 Other Payment Obligations. All payments, fees, penalties, and other charges, if any, due under this Note shall be payable pursuant to the terms contained herein, but in any case, shall be payable no later than the Maturity Date.

 

1.4 Gross up. If any taxes are levied or imposed on payments, fees, penalties, and other charges, if any, due under this Note or the other Transaction Documents, Borrower agrees to pay the full amount of such taxes and such additional amounts as may be necessary so that every payment of all amounts due under the Note or the other Transaction Documents, including any amount paid pursuant to this Section 1.4 after withholding or deduction for or on account of any taxes, will not be less than the amount provided for under this Note or the other Transaction Documents.

 

1.5 Prepayment. Borrower shall have the right at any time prior to the Maturity Date, upon thirty (30) days’ notice to the Holder (the “Prepayment Notice”), to prepay the Note by making a payment to Holder equal to 110% multiplied by the sum of (i) the outstanding Principal Amount, (ii) all accrued and unpaid interest, (iii) all unaccrued interest through the remainder of the Note Term that is guaranteed pursuant to Section 1.2 above, and (iv) any other amounts due under the Note (the “Prepayment Amount”). The Prepayment Notice must be received by Holder no later than 15 days prior to the date that Borrower proposes to remit the Prepayment Amount (the “Prepayment Date”). Holder may convert any or all of this Note into shares of Common Stock prior to the Prepayment Date. If Borrower does not remit the Prepayment Amount within two (2) days of the Prepayment Date, then (i) the Prepayment Notice and the Prepayment right granted hereunder shall be canceled, (ii) Borrower shall thereafter not be permitted to Prepay the Note, and (iii) Holder’s right to convert any or all of this Note into shares of Common Stock shall be reinstated.

ARTICLE II. CONVERSION RIGHTS

 

2.1 Conversion Right. The Holder shall have the right at any time, at the Holder’s option to convert all or any part of the outstanding and unpaid principal amount and accrued and unpaid interest of this Note into fully paid and non-assessable Common Shares of Borrower or other securities into which such Common Shares shall hereafter be changed or reclassified (each, a “Conversion Share”) 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 Common Shares beneficially owned by the Holder and its affiliates (other than Common Shares which may be deemed beneficially owned through the ownership of the unconverted portion of the Note or the unexercised or unconverted portion of any other security of Borrower subject to a limitation on conversion or exercise analogous to the limitations contained herein, and, if applicable, net of any shares that may be deemed to be owned by any person not affiliated with the Holder who has purchased a portion of the Note from the Holder) and (2) the number of Common Shares 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 Common Shares. 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, not less than 61 days’ prior notice to Borrower (the “Waiver Notice”), and the provisions of the conversion limitation in effect prior to the waiver, shall continue to apply until such 61st day (or such later date, as determined by the Holder, as may be specified in such Waiver Notice). Notwithstanding the foregoing requirements with respect to the Waiver Notice, if the Holder is not subject to the reporting requirements under Section 13 of the Exchange Act with respect to the securities of the Borrower, then the Holder may elect to waive the limitations (up to a maximum of 9.99%) immediately upon providing a Waiver Notice to the Borrower, and the provisions of the conversion limitation in effect prior to the waiver, shall continue to apply only as determined by the Holder, as may be specified in such Waiver Notice. The beneficial ownership limitation described in this Section 2.1 shall be referred to hereinafter as the “Beneficial Ownership Limitation.” The number of Common Shares to be issued upon each conversion of this Note shall be determined by dividing the Conversion Amount (as defined below) by the applicable Conversion Price then in effect on the date specified in the notice of conversion, in the form attached hereto as Exhibit A (the “Notice of Conversion”), delivered to Borrower by the Holder in accordance with Section 2.4 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 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; provided, however, that at the option of Holder, the accrued and unpaid interest can be converted prior to any other amounts under the Note, 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) the Holder’s expenses relating to a Conversion, including but not limited to amounts paid by Holder on the Borrower’s transfer agent account; plus (5) at the Holder’s option, any amounts owed to the Holder pursuant to Sections 2.3 and 2.4(g) hereof.

 

5 of 31

 

 

2.2 Conversion Price.

 

(a) Calculation of Conversion Price. The Conversion Price shall be a $.21 (the “Fixed Conversion Price”); provided that on the date upon which an Event of Default (as defined below) under this Note occurs (such date referred to as the “Default Date”), the Conversion Price shall be reduced to the lower of (x) the lowest trading price on the Default Date (or if the Default Date is not a trading day, then the trading day immediately following the Default Date), or (y) a discount of 25% to the Fixed Conversion Price. After each thirty (30) day period following the occurrence of an Event of Default, the conversion price shall be reduced by an additional 15% until the Event of Default is cured.

 

(b) Fixed Conversion Price Adjustments.

 

(1) Intentionally Omitted.

 

(2) Common Share Distributions and Splits. If Borrower, at any time while this Note is outstanding: (i) pays a distribution on its Common Shares or otherwise makes a distribution or distributions payable in Common Shares on its Common Shares; (ii) subdivides outstanding Common Shares into a larger (or smaller) number of shares; or (iii) issues, in the event of a reclassification of shares of Common Shares, any Common Shares of Borrower, then the Fixed Conversion Price shall be multiplied by a fraction of which the numerator shall be the number of Common Shares (excluding any treasury shares of Borrower) outstanding immediately before such event and of which the denominator shall be the number of Common Shares outstanding immediately after such event.

 

(3) Fundamental Transaction. If, at any time while this Note is outstanding, (i) Borrower effects any merger or consolidation of Borrower with or into another person, (ii) Borrower effects any sale of all or substantially all of its assets in one transaction or a series of related transactions, (iii) any tender offer or exchange offer (whether by Borrower or another person) is completed pursuant to which holders of Common Shares are permitted to tender or exchange their shares for other securities, cash or property, or (iv) Borrower effects any reclassification of the Common Shares or any compulsory share exchange pursuant to which the Common Shares are effectively converted into or exchanged for other securities, cash or property (in any such case, a “Fundamental Transaction”), then, upon any subsequent conversion of this Note, the Holder shall have the right to receive, for each Conversion Share that would have been issuable upon such conversion immediately prior to the occurrence of such Fundamental Transaction, 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 1 Common Share (the “Alternate Consideration”). For purposes of any such conversion, the determination of the Fixed Conversion Price shall be appropriately adjusted to apply to such Alternate Consideration based on the amount of Alternate Consideration issuable in respect of 1 Common Share in such Fundamental Transaction, and Borrower shall apportion the Fixed Conversion Price among the Alternate Consideration in a reasonable manner reflecting the relative value of any different components of the Alternate Consideration.

 

6 of 31

 

 

(4) Anti-dilution Adjustment. If at any time while this Note is outstanding, Borrower sells, grants, or otherwise makes a disposition of Common Shares, or sells, grants, or otherwise makes a disposition of other securities (or in the case of securities existing on the Issue Date, amends such securities) convertible into, exercisable for, or that would otherwise entitle any person or entity the right to acquire Common Shares, or announces its intention, or files any document with the SEC or other regulatory body that reflects its intention to do of any of the foregoing, at an effective price per share that is lower than the then Fixed Conversion Price (such lower price, the “Base Conversion Price” and such issuances, collectively, a “Dilutive Issuance”) (it being agreed that if the holder of the Common Shares or other securities so issued shall at any time, whether by operation of purchase price adjustments, reset provisions, floating conversion, exercise or exchange prices or otherwise, or due to warrants, options or rights per share which are issued in connection with such issuance, be entitled to receive Common Shares at an effective price per share that is lower than the Fixed Conversion Price, such issuance shall be deemed to have occurred for less than the Conversion Price on such date of the Dilutive Issuance, and the Base Conversion Price shall then be adjusted to equal the lowest of such issuance price), then the Fixed Conversion Price shall be reduced to a price equal the Base Conversion Price as it may be adjusted as provided for above. Such adjustment shall be made whenever such Common Shares or other securities are issued. Notwithstanding the foregoing, no adjustment will be made under this Section 2.2(b)(4) in respect of an Exempt Issuance. For purposes of this Section 2.2(b)(4) an “Exempt Issuance” means an issuance of Common Shares or other securities convertible into or exercisable or exchangeable for Common Shares (i) to employees or directors of, or consultants or advisors to, Borrower or any of its Subsidiaries pursuant to a plan, agreement or arrangement approved by the Board of Directors of Borrower, (ii) to banks, equipment lessors or other financial institutions, or to real property lessors, pursuant to a debt financing, equipment leasing or real property leasing transaction approved by the Board of Directors of Borrower, (iii) to suppliers or third party service providers in connection with the provision of goods or services pursuant to transactions approved by the Board of Directors of Borrower, (iv) pursuant to the acquisition of another corporation or other entity by Borrower by merger, purchase of substantially all of the assets or other reorganization or pursuant to a joint venture agreement, provided that such issuances are approved by the Board of Directors of Borrower, (v) to third parties in connection with collaboration, technology license, development, marketing or other similar agreements or strategic partnerships approved by the Board of Directors of Borrower, or (vi) shares with respect to which the Holder waives its anti-dilution rights granted hereby; provided, however, that any such issuance described in (iii) through (v) shall only be to a person (or to the equity holders of a person) which is, itself or through its Subsidiaries, an operating business, or an owner of an asset that is used in a business, that is synergistic with the business of Borrower and shall provide to Borrower additional benefits in addition to the investment of funds, and provided however, that none of (i) through (v) above shall include a transaction in which Borrower is issuing securities primarily for the purpose of raising capital or to an entity whose primary business is investing in securities. In the event of an issuance of securities involving multiple tranches or closings, any adjustment pursuant to this Section 2.2(b)(4) shall be calculated as if all such securities were issued upon distribution of the initial tranche. For the avoidance of doubt, in the event the Conversion Price has been adjusted pursuant to this Section 2.2(b)(4) and the Dilutive Issuance that triggered such adjustment does not occur, is not consummated, is unwound or is cancelled after the facts for any reason whatsoever, in no event shall the Conversion Price be readjusted to the Conversion Price that would have been in effect if such Dilutive Issuance had not occurred or been consummated.

 

7 of 31

 

 

(5) Notice to the Holder. Whenever the Conversion Price is adjusted pursuant to any provision of this Section 2.2(b), Borrower shall within two (2) business days deliver to the Holder a notice setting forth the Fixed Conversion Price after such adjustment and setting forth a brief statement of the facts requiring such adjustment, provided that Borrower’s failure to timely provide the notice shall not affect the automatic adjustments contemplated hereby.

 

2.3 Authorized Shares. Borrower covenants that during the period the conversion right exists, Borrower will reserve from its authorized and unissued Common Shares a sufficient number of shares, free from preemptive rights, to provide for the issuance of Common Shares upon the full conversion of this Note and exercise of the Warrants. Borrower is required at all times to have authorized and reserved seven (7) times the number of shares that is actually issuable upon full conversion of the Note (based on the Conversion Price of the Note in effect from time to time, which, if cannot be determined shall be estimated in good faith by Borrower) it being acknowledged and agreed by the parties that for the initial issuance of the Note, 50,000,000 shares of Common Shares is sufficient and will be reserved (the “Reserved Amount”). With respect to establishing the Reserve Amount, Borrower covenants and agrees to increase the number of its authorized shares of common stock to accommodate the Reserve Amount within five (5) days of the Issue Date. Borrower’s failure to complete such action within such five-day period shall constitute an Event of Default. The Reserved Amount shall be increased from time to time in accordance with Borrower’s obligations hereunder. Borrower represents that upon issuance, such shares will be duly and validly issued, fully paid and non-assessable. In addition, if Borrower shall issue any securities or make any change to its capital structure which would change the number of Common Shares into which the Note shall be convertible at the then current Conversion Price, Borrower shall at the same time make proper provision so that thereafter there shall be a sufficient number of Common Shares authorized and reserved, free from preemptive rights, for conversion of the outstanding Note, including but not limited to authorizing additional shares or effectuating a reverse split. Borrower (i) acknowledges that it has irrevocably instructed its transfer agent by letter, a copy of which is attached hereto as Exhibit B to issue certificates for the Common Shares issuable upon conversion of this Note and exercise of the Warrants, 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 Common Share certificates to execute and issue the necessary certificates for Common Shares in accordance with the terms and conditions of this Note. Borrower further covenants that so long as any obligation under this Note remains outstanding, Borrower will not establish a reserve of its Common Shares for the benefit of any party other than the Holder, without prior approval in writing by Holder. Failure by Borrower to maintain the Reserved Amount, or the failure by Borrower to be engaged with a transfer agent and subject to the terms of an irrevocable instruction letter according to the terms herein, or the establishment of a reserve without prior approval as required above, will be considered an Event of Default under Section 4.1.2 of the Note.

 

2.4 Method of Conversion.

 

(a) Mechanics of Conversion. Subject to Section 2.1, this Note may be converted by the Holder in whole or in part, at any time from the date hereof, by (A) submitting to Borrower or its transfer agent, a Notice of Conversion (by facsimile, e-mail or other reasonable means of communication dispatched on the Conversion Date prior to 7:00 p.m., New York, New York time) and (B) subject to Section 2.4(b), surrendering this Note at the principal office of Borrower.

 

8 of 31

 

 

(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 Borrower unless the entire unpaid principal amount of this Note is so converted. The Holder and Borrower shall maintain records showing the principal amount so converted and the dates of such conversions or shall use such other method, reasonably satisfactory to the Holder and Borrower, so as not to require physical surrender of this Note upon each such conversion. In the event of any dispute or discrepancy, such records of Borrower shall, prima facie, be controlling and determinative in the absence of manifest error. 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. 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 Common Shares or other securities or property on conversion of this Note in a name other than that of the Holder (or in street name), and Borrower shall not be required to issue or deliver any such shares or other securities or property unless and until the person or persons (other than 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 Borrower the amount of any such tax or shall have established to the satisfaction of Borrower that such tax has been paid.

 

(d) Delivery of Common Shares Upon Conversion. Upon receipt by 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 2.4, Borrower shall issue and deliver to or cause to be issued and delivered to or upon the order of the Holder certificates for Common Shares issuable upon such conversion by the end of the third business day 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. Failure to issue and deliver shares or cause to be issued and delivered shares by the Deadline as described above, will be considered an Event of Default under Section 4.1.2 of the Note.

 

(e) Obligation of Borrower to Deliver Common Shares. Upon receipt by Borrower of a Notice of Conversion, the Holder shall be deemed to be the holder of record of the Common Shares issuable upon such conversion, the outstanding principal amount and the amount of accrued and unpaid interest on this Note shall be reduced to reflect such conversion, and, unless Borrower defaults on its obligations under this Article II, all rights with respect to the portion of this Note being so converted shall forthwith terminate except the right to receive the Common Shares 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, Borrower’s obligation to issue and deliver the certificates for Common Shares 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 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 Borrower, and irrespective of any other circumstance which might otherwise limit such obligation of 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 Borrower before 7:00 p.m., New York, New York time, on such date.

 

9 of 31

 

 

(f) Delivery of Common Shares by Electronic Transfer. In lieu of delivering physical certificates representing the Common Shares issuable upon conversion, provided 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 2.1 and in this Section 2.4, Borrower shall use its best efforts to cause its transfer agent to electronically transmit the Common Shares 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. If the Borrower is not registered with DTC as of the Issue Date, the Borrower shall be required to register with DTC within 30 days of the Issue Date, and the provisions of this paragraph shall apply after such registration. Failure to become DTC registered or maintain DTC eligibility as provided herein shall be an Event of Default under Section 4.1.22 of this Note.

 

(g) Failure to Deliver Common Shares Prior to Deadline. Without in any way limiting the Holder’s right to pursue other remedies, including actual damages and/or equitable relief, or other remedies provided to Holder herein, the parties agree that if Borrower causes the Common Shares issuable upon conversion of this Note to not be delivered by the second (2nd) Trading Day following the Deadline, Borrower shall pay to the Holder $1,000 per day in cash, for each day beyond the Deadline that Borrower fails to deliver such Common Shares, in addition to the product of the number of shares issuable upon the conversion multiplied by the difference between the highest trade price and the lowest trade price during the period beginning on the date that such conversion was submitted, and the date on which the Shares are delivered to Holder’s Prime Broker and are available to be sold. 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 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 Shares in accordance with the terms of this Note. Borrower agrees that the right to convert is a valuable right to the Holder, and as such, Borrower will not take any actions to hamper, delay or prevent any Holder conversion of the Note. 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 2.4(g) are justified.

2.5 Concerning the Common Shares. The Common Shares issuable upon conversion of this Note may not be sold or transferred unless (i) such shares are sold pursuant to an effective registration statement under the Act or (ii) Borrower or its transfer agent shall have been furnished with an opinion of counsel (which opinion shall be in form, substance and scope customary for opinions of counsel in comparable transactions) to the effect that the shares to be sold or transferred may be sold or transferred pursuant to an exemption from such registration or (iii) such shares are sold or transferred pursuant to Rule 144 under the Act (or a successor rule) (“Rule 144”) or (iv) such shares are transferred to an “affiliate” (as defined in Rule 144) of Borrower who agrees to sell or otherwise transfer the shares only in accordance with this Section 2.5 and who is an Accredited Investor. Except as otherwise provided (and subject to the removal provisions set forth below), until such time as the Common Shares 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 Common Shares 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 AND ACCEPTABLE TO THE COMPANY), IN A GENERALLY ACCEPTABLE FORM, THAT REGISTRATION IS NOT REQUIRED UNDER SAID ACT OR (II) UNLESS SOLD PURSUANT TO RULE 144 OR RULE 144A UNDER SAID ACT. NOTWITHSTANDING THE FOREGOING, THE SECURITIES MAY BE PLEDGED IN CONNECTION WITH A BONA FIDE MARGIN ACCOUNT OR OTHER LOAN OR FINANCING ARRANGEMENT SECURED BY THE SECURITIES.

 

The legend set forth above shall be removed and Borrower shall issue to the Holder a new certificate therefore free of any transfer legend if (i) Borrower or its transfer agent shall have received an opinion of counsel, in form, substance and scope customary for opinions of counsel in comparable transactions, to the effect that a public sale or transfer of such Common Shares may be made without registration under the Act, which opinion shall be accepted by Borrower (which acceptance shall be subject to and conditioned on any requirements, if any, of the its transfer agent, the exchange on which Borrower is then trading or other applicable laws, rules or regulations) so that the sale or transfer is effected or (ii) in the case of the Common Shares 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 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 or Regulation S, at the Deadline, it will be considered an Event of Default pursuant to Section 4.1.2 of the Note; provided that notwithstanding the foregoing, if Borrower is legally unable to accept such opinion as a result of any of Borrower’s transfer agent requirements, the requirements of the exchange on which Borrower is then traded, or other applicable laws, rules or regulations, Borrower’s non-acceptance shall be an Event of Default pursuant to Section 4.1.25.

2.6 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 Common Shares 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 Common Shares and to any remedies provided herein or otherwise available at law or in equity to such Holder because of a failure by Borrower to comply with the terms of this Note. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if a Holder has not received certificates for all Common Shares 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 Shares by so notifying Borrower) the Holder shall regain the rights of a Holder of this Note with respect to such unconverted portions of this Note and Borrower shall, as soon as practicable, return such unconverted Note to 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 2.4 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 adjusted upon an Event of Default (if applicable), for Borrower’s failure to convert this Note.

 

ARTICLE III. RANKING, CERTAIN COVENANTS, AND POST CLOSING OBLIGATIONS

 

3.1 Warrants. Upon the advance of the first Tranche by Holder to the Borrower, Borrower shall issue to Holder a warrant exercisable for 500,000 Common Shares (the “Warrant”). The Warrant shall have (i) an exercise period of 60 Months, (ii) an exercise price equal to a $.25, and (iii) provide for full ratchet anti-dilution protection provisions.

 

3.2 Equity Interest. On the earliest date that the Common Stock would be eligible to be free trading in the hands of the Holder (either pursuant to registration, Rule 144, or any other applicable exemption from registration) (such date referred to as the “Equity Interest Due Date”), Borrower shall issue to Holder a number of Common Shares so that the value of such shares in the aggregate is equal to one hundred fifty thousand Dollars ($150,000) (the “Equity Interest Value”) based on the lowest daily VWAP during the twenty (20) trading days preceding the date of issuance (the “Equity Interest”). The Equity Interest Value shall be pro-rated based on the portion of the Purchase Price advanced on the Equity Interest Due Date, provided however, that the Equity Interest Value shall be at least ninety thousand Dollars ($90,000) on the Equity Interest Due Date with the remainder due upon advance of each Tranche subsequent to the Equity Interest Date.

 

3.3 Distributions on Common Shares. 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 the Common Shares (or other capital securities of the Borrower) other than dividends on Common Shares solely in the form of additional Common Shares or (b) directly or indirectly or through any Subsidiary make any other payment or distribution in respect of Common Shares (or other securities representing its capital) except for distributions that comply with Section 3.7 below.

So long as the Borrower shall have any obligation under this Note, 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 Common Shares (or other securities representing its capital) of Borrower or any warrants, rights or options to purchase or acquire any such shares; except for the repurchase of shares at a nominal price in connection with rights under an agreement with an employee or consultant of the Borrower whose shares have been forfeited as a result of such employee or consultant’s ceasing to provide services to the Borrower.

 

3.7 Payments from Future Funding Sources. The Borrower shall pay to the Holder on an accelerated basis, any outstanding Principal Amount of the Note, along with all unpaid interest, and fees and penalties, if any, from the sources of capital below, at the Holder’s discretion, it being acknowledged and agreed by Holder that Borrower shall have the right to make Bona Fide payments to vendors with Common Shares:

 

3.7.1 Future Financing Proceeds. One hundred percent (100%) of the net proceeds of any future financings by Borrower or any Subsidiary, whether debt or equity, or any other financing proceeds such as cash advances, royalties or earn-out payments provided, however, that this provision is not applicable if the transaction generating the future financing proceeds has a specific use of proceeds requirement that such proceeds are to be used exclusively to purchase the assets or equity of an unaffiliated business in an arm’s length transaction or such proceeds are to be used exclusively to develop the existing assets of the Borrower and the proceeds are used accordingly.

3.8 Use of Proceeds. Borrower agrees to use the proceeds of the Tranches advanced under this Note for general working capital.

 

3.9 Ranking and Security.

The obligations of the Borrower under this Note are secured pursuant to the Security and Pledge Agreement attached hereto. So long as the Borrower shall have any obligation under this Note, the Borrower shall not (directly or indirectly through any Subsidiary or affiliate) incur or suffer to exist or guarantee any Indebtedness that is senior to or pari passu with (in priority of payment and performance) the Borrower’s obligations hereunder. As used herein, the term “Indebtedness” means (a) all indebtedness of the Borrower for borrowed money or for the deferred purchase price of property or services, including any type of letters of credit, but not including deferred purchase price obligations in place as of the Issue Date or obligations to trade creditors incurred in the ordinary course of business, (b) all obligations of the Borrower evidenced by notes, bonds, debentures or other similar instruments, (c) purchase money indebtedness hereafter incurred by the Borrower to finance the purchase of fixed or capital assets, including all capital lease obligations of the Borrower which do not exceed the purchase price of the assets funded, (d) all guarantee obligations of the Borrower in respect of obligations of the kind referred to in clauses (a) through (c) above that the Borrower would not be permitted to incur or enter into, and (e) all obligations of the kind referred to in clauses (a) through (d) above that the Borrower is not permitted to incur or enter into that are secured by (or for which the holder of such obligation has an existing right, contingent or otherwise, to be secured and/or unsecured by) any lien or encumbrance on property (including accounts and contract rights) owned by the Borrower, whether or not the Borrower has assumed or become liable for the payment of such obligation. With respect to any Indebtedness that is a senior secured obligation of the Borrower, Borrower agrees to cause the holders of such Indebtedness to execute subordination agreements with respect to the Borrower’s obligations under this Note, and to deliver such subordination agreements to the Holder on or prior to the Issue Date.

3.12 Terms of Future Financings. So long as any obligations of the Borrower under the Note are outstanding, upon any issuance of (or announcement of intent to effect an issuance of) any security, or amendment to (or announcement of intent to effect an amendment to) any security that was originally issued before the Issue Date, by the Borrower or any Subsidiary, with any term that the Holder reasonably believes is more favorable to the holder of such security than to the Holder in the Transaction Documents, or with a term in favor of the holder of such security that the Holder reasonably believes was not similarly provided to the Holder in the Transaction Documents, then (i) the Borrower shall notify the Holder of such additional or more favorable term within three (3) business days of the issuance and/or amendment (as applicable) of the respective security, and (ii) such term, at Holder’s option, shall become a part of the transaction documents with the Holder (regardless of whether the Borrower complied with the notification provision of this Section 3.12).

3.13 Registration Rights.

 

3.13.1 Piggyback Registration. If the Borrower or any Subsidiary proposes to register any of its Common Shares (other than pursuant to a Registration on Form S-4 or S-8 or any successor form), it will give prompt written notice to the Holder of its intention to effect such registration (the “Incidental Registration”). Within twenty (20) business days of receiving such written notice of an Incidental Registration, the Holder may make a written request (the “Piggy-Back Request”) that the Borrower include in the proposed Incidental Registration all, or a portion, of the Underlying Securities owned by the Holder. As used herein, Underlying Securities shall mean the shares issuable upon exercise of the Warrant, the Equity Interest, the shares issuable upon Conversion of the Note, and the Reserved Amount. The Borrower will use its commercially reasonable efforts to include in any Incidental Registration all Underlying Securities which the Borrower has been requested to register pursuant to any timely Piggy-Back Request to the extent required to permit the disposition (in accordance with the intended methods thereof as aforesaid) of the Registrable Securities so to be registered. Failure to register the Underlying Securities pursuant to this Section 3.13 shall be an Event of Default pursuant to Section 4.1.3 of the Note.

 

3.13.2 Mandatory Qualification. Within thirty (30) days of the Issue Date, Borrower shall be required to file a registration statement with the SEC to register the Underlying Securities.

3.14 Rollover Rights. So long as the Note is outstanding, if the Borrower completes any public offering or private placement of its equity, equity-linked or debt securities (each, a “Future Transaction”), the Holder may, in its sole discretion, elect to apply as purchase consideration for such Future Transaction: (i) all, or any portion, of the then outstanding principal amount of the Note and any accrued but unpaid interest, including any amounts that would be added to the principal outstanding in the event that any redemption right or prepayment right is exercised by either the Holder or the Borrower, and (ii) any securities of the Borrower then held by the Holder, at their fair value (the “Rollover Rights”). The Borrower shall give written notice to Holder as soon as practicable, but in no event less than fifteen (15) days before the anticipated closing date of such Future Transaction. The Holder may exercise its Rollover Rights by providing the Borrower written notice of such exercise within five Business Days before the closing of the Future Transaction. In the event Holder exercises its Rollover Rights, then such elected portion with respect to (i) and (ii) above, shall automatically convert into the corresponding securities issued in such Future Transaction under the terms of such Future Transaction, such that the Holder will receive all securities (including, without limitation, any warrants) issuable under the Future Transaction.

 

3.15 Regulatory Reporting. Borrower shall be required to be in compliance with the requirements of the Exchange Act, and be required to remain a fully reporting company under the SEC reporting requirements and remain subject to and fully compliant with, the annual and periodic reporting requirements of the Exchange Act (including but not limited to becoming current in its filings).

Failure to provide an opinion letter as described herein shall be an event of default pursuant to Section 4.1.2 of the Note.

4.2 Remedies Upon Default.

 

4.2.1 Upon the occurrence of an Event of Default (after the expiration of any applicable cure period), in addition to and without limitation of other remedies set forth herein in this Note, (i) interest shall accrue at the Default Interest rate; (ii) this Note shall become immediately due and payable, all without demand, presentment or notice, all of which are hereby expressly waived by the Borrower, and the Borrower shall pay to the Holder, an amount (the “Default Amount”) equal to the sum of the Principal Amount then outstanding (including Liquidating Damages, defined below) plus accrued and unpaid interest through the date of the Event of Default, plus unaccrued interest through the remainder of the Note Term, together with all costs, including, without limitation, legal fees and expenses of collection, and Default Interest through the date of full repayment; and (iii) a liquidated damages charge equal to 25% of the outstanding balance due under the Note (“Liquidating Damages”) will be assessed and will become immediately due and payable to the Holder, either in form of a cash payment or as an addition to the Principal Amount due under the Note. In addition, the Holder shall be entitled to exercise all other rights and remedies available at law or in equity, including, without limitation, those set forth in the Related Documents.

 

4.2.2 Upon the occurrence of an Event of Default (after the expiration of any applicable cure period), Borrower shall incur a monthly monitoring fee (“Monitoring Fee”) in the amount of ten thousand Dollars ($10,000) per month commencing in the month in which the Event of Default occurs and continuing until the Event of Default is cured in order to cover the Holder’s costs of monitoring and legal expenses and other expenses incurred by Holder.

 

4.2.3 Upon the occurrence of an Event of Default (after the expiration of any applicable cure period), and in addition to any other right or remedy of the Holder hereunder, under the Purchase Agreement or otherwise at law or in equity, the Borrower hereby irrevocably authorizes and empowers Holder or its legal counsel, each as the Borrower’s attorney-in-fact, to appear ex parte and without notice to the Borrower to confess judgment against the Borrower for the unpaid amount of this Note as evidenced by the Affidavit of Confession of Judgment signed by the Borrower as of the Issue Date and to be completed by the Holder or its counsel pursuant to the foregoing power of attorney (which power is coupled with an interest), a copy of which is attached as Exhibit E hereto (the “Affidavit”). The Affidavit shall set forth the amount then due hereunder, plus attorney’s fees and cost of suit, and to release all errors, and waive all rights of appeal. If properly exercised by Holder, the Borrower waives the right to contest Holder’s rights under this Article IV, including without limitation the right to any stay of execution and the benefit of all exemption laws now or hereafter in effect. No single exercise of the foregoing right and power to confess judgment will be deemed to exhaust such power, whether or not any such exercise shall be held by any court to be invalid, voidable, or void, and such power shall continue undiminished and may be exercised from time to time as the Holder may elect until all amounts owing on this Note have been paid in full.

 

4.2.4 Upon the occurrence of an Event of Default (after the expiration of any applicable cure period), Holder to have right to inspect the books and records of the Borrower, at reasonable business hours, at Holder’s sole discretion.

 

4.2.5 Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Note, upon the occurrence of an Event of Default specified in Article 4 of this Note (after the expiration of any applicable cure period), Borrower may not repay any amount outstanding under this Note without the express written consent of the Holder.

4.3 Notice of Default. Borrower shall be required to provide written Notice to the Holder immediately upon becoming aware of the occurrence of any event that is either reasonably likely to have a Material Adverse Effect or that would reasonably be deemed an Event of Default (without regard to Borrower’s ability to cure such Event of Default, if applicable), provided however, that Borrower’s failure to timely provide such notice shall not prevent this Note being deemed in default.

 

ARTICLE V. MISCELLANEOUS

 

5.1 Failure or Indulgence Not Waiver. No failure or delay on the part of the Holder in the exercise of any power, right or privilege hereunder shall operate as a waiver thereof, nor shall any single or partial exercise of any such power, right or privilege preclude other or further exercise thereof or of any other right, power or privileges. All rights and remedies existing hereunder are cumulative to, and not exclusive of, any rights or remedies otherwise available.

5.3 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.

 

5.4 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).

 

5.5 Cost of Collection. If default is made in the payment of this Note, the Borrower shall pay the Holder hereof costs of collection, including attorneys’ fees. Such amounts spent by Holder shall be added to the Principal Amount of the Note at the time of such expenditure.

 

5.6 Governing Law. This Note shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of the State of Delaware 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 Delaware. 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 IRREVOCABLY WAIVES ANY RIGHT IT MAY HAVE, AND AGREES NOT TO REQUEST, A JURY TRIAL FOR THE ADJUDICATION OF ANY DISPUTE HEREUNDER OR IN CONNECTION WITH OR ARISING OUT OF THIS NOTE OR ANY TRANSACTIONS CONTEMPLATED HEREBY. The prevailing party shall be entitled to recover from the other party its reasonable attorney’s fees and costs. In the event that any provision of this Note or any other agreement delivered in connection herewith is invalid or unenforceable under any applicable statute or rule of law, then such provision shall be deemed inoperative to the extent that it may conflict therewith and shall be deemed modified to conform with such statute or rule of law. Any such provision which may prove invalid or unenforceable under any law shall not affect the validity or enforceability of any other provision of any agreement. The Borrower irrevocably waives personal service of process and consents to process being served in any suit, action or proceeding in connection with this Note or any other Transaction Documents by being mailing a copy thereof via registered or certified mail or overnight delivery (with evidence of delivery) to the Borrower 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.

5.7 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.

 

5.8 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.

 

5.9 Usury. To the extent it may lawfully do so, the Borrower hereby agrees not to insist upon or plead or in any manner whatsoever claim, and will resist any and all efforts to be compelled to take the benefit or advantage of, usury laws wherever enacted, now or at any time hereafter in force, in connection with any action or proceeding that may be brought by the Holder in order to enforce any right or remedy under this Note.  Notwithstanding any provision to the contrary contained in this Note, it is expressly agreed and provided that the total liability of the Borrower under this Note for payments which under Delaware law are in the nature of interest shall not exceed the maximum lawful rate authorized under applicable law (the “Maximum Rate”), and, without limiting the foregoing, in no event shall any rate of interest or default interest, or both of them, when aggregated with any other sums which under Delaware law in the nature of interest that the Borrower may be obligated to pay under this Note exceed such Maximum Rate.  It is agreed that if the maximum contract rate of interest allowed by Delaware law and applicable to this Note is increased or decreased by statute or any official governmental action subsequent to the date hereof, the new maximum contract rate of interest allowed by law will be the Maximum Rate applicable to this Note from the effective date thereof forward, unless such application is precluded by applicable law.  If under any circumstances whatsoever, interest in excess of the Maximum Rate is paid by the Borrower to the Holder with respect to indebtedness evidenced by this Note, such excess shall be applied by the Holder to the unpaid principal balance of any such indebtedness or be refunded to the Borrower, the manner of handling such excess to be at the Holder’s election.

 

5.10 Section 3(a)(10) Transactions. At all times while this Note is outstanding, Borrower shall be prohibited to 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 (“3(a)(10) Transaction”). If Borrower enters into a 3(a)(10) Transaction, it shall be an event of default pursuant to Section 4.3, and the Liquidating Damages charge referred to in Section 4.27(a) shall be equal to 25%.

5.11 No Broker-Dealer Acknowledgement. Absent a final adjudication from a court of competent jurisdiction stating otherwise, so long as any obligation of Borrower under this Note or the other Transaction Documents is outstanding, the Borrower shall not state, claim, allege, or in any way assert to any person, institution, or entity, that Holder is currently, or ever has been, a broker-dealer under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934.

 

5.12 Opportunity to Consult with Counsel. The Borrower represents and acknowledges that it has been provided with the opportunity to discuss and review the terms of this Note and the other Transaction Documents with its counsel before signing it and that it is freely and voluntarily signing the Transaction Documents in exchange for the benefits provided herein. In light of this, the Borrower will not contest the validity of Transaction Documents and the transactions contemplated therein. The Borrower further represents and acknowledges that it has been provided a reasonable period of time within which to review the terms of the Transaction Documents.

 

5.13 Integration. This Note, along with the other Transaction Documents, constitute the entire agreement between the Parties and supersedes all prior negotiations, discussions, representations, or proposals, whether oral or written, unless expressly incorporated herein, related to the subject matter of the Agreement. Unless expressly provided otherwise herein, this Note may not be modified unless in writing signed by the duly authorized representatives of the Borrower and the Holder. If any provision or part thereof is found to be invalid, the remaining provisions will remain in full force and effect. Additionally, Borrower agrees acknowledges that each of the Transaction Documents are integral to the Note, and their execution by Borrower and the agreement by Borrower to be bound by the terms therein are a material condition to the Holders agreement to enter into the transaction contemplated under the Transaction Documents.

 

5.14 Adjustment for Stock Split. Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, all references in this Note to numbers of shares of securities of the Borrower and the prices thereof, shall be appropriately adjusted to reflect any stock split, reverse stock split or stock dividend or other similar change in such securities which may be made by the Borrower after the date of this Agreement, provided however, that in the event that the Borrower effectuates a reverse split of its Common Shares, the reduction to the Fixed Price shall be limited to no greater than the reduction that would occur in the event of a 1-for-15 (1:15) reverse stock split reverse stock split.
