FIRST AMENDED PROMISSORY NOTE

 

Principal Amount: $75,000 New York, New York
Purchase Price: $75,000 March 24, 2021

amended as of December 21, 2021

 

FOR VALUE RECEIVED, Performance Drink Group, Inc., a Colorado corporation (the “Company”), hereby promises to pay to the order of Elliott Polatoff (the “Payee”), at the address specified for notice below, or such other place as the Payee may designate to Company in writing from time to time, the principal sum of $75,000 in lawful money of the United States of America on September 1, 2021 (the “Maturity Date”), in addition to all other amounts provided in this convertible promissory note (this “Note”).

 

1.            Purchase Price. The Purchase Price of this Note shall be $75,000. Upon execution and delivery of this Note, the sum of $75,000 shall be remitted and delivered to, or on behalf of, the Company by the Payee.

 

2.            Payment Terms.

 

(a)           Interest. This Note shall not bear interest.

 

(b)            Payment of Principal. The principal of this Note shall be payable in $25,000 installments on each of July 1, 2021, August 1, 2021, and September 1, 2021, the Maturity Date.

 

(c)             Prepayment. The Company shall have the right to prepay this Note prior to the Maturity Date subject to 3-day prior notice to the Payee (“Pre-pay Notice”). During the Pre-pay Notice period, the Payee shall retain the ability to exercise the rights set forth in Sections 2(d) and 2(e) below. In the event that any scheduled payment date hereunder is a day on which banks in the State of New York are required or authorized to be closed, then the payment that would be due on such day shall instead be due and payable on the next day in which banks in the State of New York are open, with additional interest for such delay at the rate then in effect hereunder.

 

(d)            Right to Convert. The Payee shall have the right, at any time from the later of the date on the signature page attached hereto or the date that the Purchase Price is received by the Company (the “Issue Date”), so long as there are amounts outstanding under the Note, to convert all or any portion of the then outstanding and unpaid Principal Amount and any Default Interest into fully paid and non-assessable shares of Common Stock (the “Conversion Shares”), as set forth in Section 2(e); provided, however, that, in no event, shall the Payee 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 Payee and his affiliates (other than shares of Common Stock which may be deemed beneficially owned through the ownership of the unconverted portion of this Note or the unexercised or unconverted portion of any other security of the Company subject to a limitation on conversion or exercise analogous to the limitations contained herein) and (2) the number of Conversion 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 Payee and its affiliates of more than 4.99% of the then outstanding shares of Common Stock. For purposes of the proviso set forth in 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 “1934 Act”), and Regulations 13D-G thereunder, except as otherwise provided in clause (1) of such proviso, provided, however, that the limitations on conversion may be waived (up to 9.99%) by the Payee upon, at the election of the Payee, not less than 10-days’ prior notice to the Company, and the provisions of the conversion limitation shall continue to apply until such 10th day (or such later date, as determined by the Payee, as may be specified in such notice of waiver).

 

 

 

 1 

 

 

The number of Conversion Shares to be issued upon each conversion of this Note shall be determined by dividing the Conversion Amount (as defined below) by the Conversion Price (as defined in Section 2(e), in the form attached hereto as Exhibit A (the “Notice of Conversion”), delivered to the Company or Company’s transfer agent by the Payee; 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 Company or Company’s transfer agent before 11:59 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 all other amounts due under this Note, if any.

 

(e)           Right to Qualification. Payee shall have the right, which may be exercised at Payee’s sole discretion, to convert any amount due under this Note into shares of any qualified Regulation A Offering under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, of the Company during the term of the any such Regulation A Offering. The number of shares to be issued upon any such conversion shall be determined by dividing the converted amount of this Note by the then-current offering price (the “Conversion Price”) of the applicable Regulation A Offering Statement. In conjunction with the rights granted to Payee under this Section 2(e), the Company shall, while any amount due under this Note remains outstanding, (1) identify Payee as a selling shareholder in each of its Regulation A Offering Circulars; and (2) qualify and allocate a sufficient number of shares of its Common Stock to repay the remaining balance under the Note in full.

 

(g)           Authorized Shares. The Company represents that, upon issuance, the Conversion Shares will be duly and validly issued, fully paid and non- assessable. In addition, if the Company shall issue any securities or make any change to its capital structure which would change the number of Conversion Shares into which this Note shall be convertible at the then current Conversion Price, the Company 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 this Note. The Company acknowledges that it has irrevocably instructed its transfer agent to reserve the Conversion Shares and agrees that this Note shall constitute full authority to its officers and agents who are charged with the duty of executing stock certificates or electronically issue shares of Common Stock to execute and issue the necessary certificates for the Conversion Shares in accordance with the terms and conditions of this Note.

 

3.           Default. It shall be an event of default (“Event of Default”), and the entire unpaid principal of this Note shall become immediately due and payable upon the occurrence of any of the following events:

 

(a)           any failure on the part of the Company to make any payment under this Note when due, and such failure continues for 90 days after the due date;

 

(b)           the Company’s commencement (or take any action for the purpose of commencing) of any proceeding under any bankruptcy, or for the reorganization of any party liable hereon, whether as maker, endorser, guarantor, surety or otherwise, or for the readjustment of any of the debts of any of the foregoing parties, under the Federal Bankruptcy Code, as amended, or any part thereof, or under any other laws, whether state or Federal, for the relief of debtors, now or hereafter existing, by any of the foregoing parties, or against any of the foregoing parties;

 

(c)            a proceeding shall be commenced against the Company under any bankruptcy, reorganization, arrangement, readjustment of debt, moratorium or similar law or statute and relief is ordered against such party, or the proceeding is controverted but is not dismissed within thirty (30) days after the commencement thereof;

 

(d)           the appointment of a receiver, trustee, or custodian for all or substantially all of the assets of the Company, which appointment remains in place for at least one hundred twenty (120) days, the dissolution or liquidation of the Company; or

 

(e)            the admission by the Company of its inability to pay its debts as they mature, or an assignment for the benefit of the creditors of the Company.

4.            Waiver.

 

(a)            The Company and every endorser or guarantor, if any, of this Note regardless of time, order, or place of signing waive demand, presentment, protest, notice of protest, notice of dishonor with respect to this Note and notices of every kind and assent to any one or more extensions or postponements of the time of payment or any other indulgences, to any substitutions and to any additions or releases of any other parties or persons primarily or secondarily liable with respect to this Note.

 

(b)            The parties hereto agree that a waiver of rights under this Note shall not be deemed to be made by a party hereto unless such waiver shall be in writing, duly signed by the applicable party, and each such waiver, if any, shall apply only with respect to the specific instance involved and shall in no way impair the rights of the parties hereto in any other respect at any other time.

 

(c)            IN ANY ACTION OR PROCEEDING ARISING OUT OF OR RELATING TO THIS NOTE, THE COMPANY WAIVES, TO THE FULL EXTENT PERMITTED BY LAW, ALL RIGHT TO A TRIAL BY JURY.

 

5.            GOVERNING LAW. This Note shall be governed by the laws of the State of Colorado without regard to conflicts of law principles.

 

6.            Assignment of Note. The Company may not assign or transfer this Note or any of its obligations under this Note in any manner whatsoever (including, without limitation, by the consolidation or merger with or into another corporation) without the prior written consent of Payee. The Note may be assigned at any time by the Payee.

 

7.            Miscellaneous.

 

(a)            This Note may be altered only by prior written agreement signed by the party against whom enforcement of any waiver, change, modification, or discharge is sought. This Note may not be modified by an oral agreement, even if supported by new consideration.

 

(b)            Subject to the covenants, terms, and conditions contained in this Note apply to and bind the heirs, successors, executors, administrators and assigns of the parties.
