Item 1.01 Entry Into a Material Definitive Agreement.

Revenue Based Factoring Agreement

On October 23, 2015, North American Custom Specialty Vehicles, Inc. (“NACSV”), a wholly-owned subsidiary of Global Digital Solutions, Inc. (“GDSI”) entered into a Revenue Based Factoring Agreement (the “Factoring Agreement”) with Power Up Lending Group, Ltd. (“Power Up”). The Factoring Agreement was guaranteed by GDSI under the terms of a Security Agreement and Guaranty (“the Security Agreement”).

Under the terms of the Factoring Agreement, NACSV, as Merchant, agreed to transfer to Power Up in consideration of the purchase price of $50,000.00, all of the Merchant’s future receipts, accounts, contract rights and other obligations arising from or relating to the payment of monies from Merchant’s customers and/or other third party payors (collectively the receipts) at the specified percentage of 24% until such time as a total of $69,000.00 is repaid. A specified daily repayment amount of $547.62 is required to be made to Power Up as a base payment to be credited against the specified percentage due. The Factoring Agreement shall have an indefinite term that shall last until all of the Merchant’s obligations to Power Up are fully satisfied. GDSI used the purchase price proceeds to satisfy fund operations.

The Factoring Agreement contains certain protections against default, including prohibiting NACSV from changing its arrangement with its bank in any way that is adverse to Power Up and NACSV interrupting the operation of its business, among others. Events of default include: (i) the violation of any term or covenant under the agreement, (ii) the failure of NACSV to pay its debts when due and (iii) the transfer or sale of all or substantially all of NACSV’s asset, amount others.

The foregoing descriptions of the Factoring Agreement and the Security Agreement are summaries, and are qualified in their entirety by reference to such documents, which are attached hereto as Exhibit 10.1 and Exhibit 10.2, respectively, and are incorporated herein by reference.
