FORM OF DEBT EXTENSION AND CONVERSION AGREEMENT

 

THIS DEBT CONVERSION AGREEMENT (this “Agreement”) is dated as of ___, 2021 by and between [ ] (the “Lender”), and Zivo Bioscience, Inc., a Nevada corporation (the “Company”).

 

BACKGROUND

 

A.Pusuant to [ ] (the “Note”), the Company is indebted to the Lender in the amount of $[ ], plus accrued interest as of the date hereof at the annual interest rate of 11%. The Company’s debt to the Lender is secured by a Security Agreement and other security documents as set forth in the Loan Agreements. 

 

B.The Company believes that various features of its borrowing arrangement make the raising of capital from other sources more difficult, and that the conversion of a significant portion of the Notes will be required for the Company to raise needed capital from sources other than the Lender.  

 

NOW, THEREFORE, the parties agree as follows:

 

1.Interest Rate of the Convertible Notes. The Lender hereby acknowledges that the interest rate of the Note remains eleven percent (11%) per annum, and that Lender will not demand payment of the Notes prior to July 1, 2021. 

 

2.Conversion of the Convertible Note. The Lender hereby agrees that its Note and related accrued interest shall be converted into shares of common stock of the Company at the conversion rate of $0.10 per share (on the terms and otherwise in accordance with the terms set forth in the Loan Documents (as defined in the Loan Agreement)) automatically and without any further action on the part of Lender upon, and concurrently with, the closing by the Company of the sale of at least $10 million in common shares to one or more third party investors (the “Capital Raise”). 

 

3.Modification of Agreements. Upon the conversion of the Note as provided above, Lender and the Company agree to take all necessary and appropriate action to appropriately amend or terminate the various agreements pursuant to which the Note was issued, including, if and only if the Note is converted in the Capital Raise, all actions necessary to release any and all security interests held by Lender relating to the Company’s tangible or intangible assets.
