Item 1.01 Entry Into a Material Definitive Agreement

On October 23, 2011, Propell Corporation, a Delaware corporation (the “Company”), issued to Tripod Group, LLC (“Tripod”) convertible redeemable promissory notes in the principal amounts of: (i) $150,000 (the “$150,000 Note) and (ii) $50,000 (the $50,000 Note”); the $150,000 Note and the $50,000 Note being collectively referred to as the “Notes”.  The $150,000 Note and the $50,000 Note, together with all accrued interest, are due and payable on October 23, 2013 and October 23, 2012, respectively, and bear interest at a rate of 6% per annum, payable in shares of the Company’s common stock.  The principal amount of the Notes is convertible at any time after April 23, 2012, at the option of Tripod, at a conversion price), subject to adjustment as set forth in the Notes, equal to 65% of the lowest closing bid price of the Company’s common stock on the five trading days preceding the notice of conversion (including the day upon which a notice of conversion is received by the Company.  The conversion price may also be adjusted downward if, within three business days of receipt of a notice of conversion, the common stock has a closing bid price which is five percent (5%) or lower than the price set forth in the notice of conversion. The Company shall have the right, at any time, to redeem the Notes in whole and pay to Tripod 125% of the then unpaid principal amount of the Notes.

In connection with the issuance of the $150,000 Note, Tripod issued to the Company a note in the principal amount of $150,000 (the “Tripod Note”) that bears interest at a rate of 6% per annum and matures: (i) $50,000 on the earlier of: (x) August 23, 2012 or (y) the date that the first $50,000 is converted under the $150,000 Note, unless we do not meet the current information requirements under Rule 144 of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, in which case the $50,000 shall be due on October 23, 2012 instead; (ii) $50,000 on the earlier of: (x) September 23, 2012 or (y) the date that the second $50,000 is converted under the $150,000 Note, unless we do not meet the current information requirements under Rule 144  in which case the $50,000 shall be due on October 23, 2012 instead; and $50,000 on the earlier of: (x) October 23, 2012 or (y) the date that the second $50,000 is converted under the $150,000 Note.   The note is secured by four promissory notes of a third party issued to Tripod with a value of $10,000 left unconverted and promissory notes of such third party issued to Tripod in the aggregate principal amounts of $190,000.

This description of the Notes and Tripod Note does not purport to be complete and is qualified in its entirety by reference to the Notes and Tripod Note, which are attached as Exhibits 4.1 and 4.2 and 10.2 to this Current Report and incorporated herein by reference.

On October 23, 2011, the Company entered into a Share Issuance Agreement with Tripod (the “Share Issuance Agreement”) pursuant to which the Company issued 100,000 shares of common stock (the “Shares”) to Tripod to be held in escrow and released as follows: (i) 33,333 of the Shares will be released to Tripod if the Company elects to disallow the conversion of $50,000 in principal of the $150,000 Note; (ii) 33,333 of the Shares will be released to Tripod if the Company elects to disallow the conversion of the second $50,000 in principal of the $150,000 Note; and (iii) the final 33,334 of the Shares will be released to Tripod if the Company elects to disallow the conversion of the final $50,000 of the $150,000 Note, in each case such $50,000 in principal of the $150,000 Note to be cancelled along with an offsetting $50,000 of the Tripod Note.

This description of the Share Issuance Agreement does not purport to be complete and is qualified in its entirety by reference to the Share Issuance Agreement, which is attached as Exhibit 10.1 to this Current Report and incorporated herein by reference.

Item 3.02 Unregistered Sales of Equity Securities
 
The information contained in Item 1.01 is incorporated herein by reference.

The Notes and shares were issued in reliance upon the exemption from registration contained in Section 4(2) of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, and Regulation D promulgated thereunder.    No underwriter was involved in the offer or sale of the securities. The issuance of the securities did not involve a public offering. This issuance was done with no general solicitation or advertising by the Company. In addition, the Holder had the necessary investment intent as required by Section 4(2) since it agreed to, and received, Notes bearing a legend stating that the securities are restricted and if the shares of common stock held in escrow bear such a legend. This restriction ensures that the securities will not be immediately redistributed into the market and therefore not part of a public offering.

Interest will be paid to the Holder in whose name this Note is registered on the records of the Company regarding registration and transfers of this Note.  The principal of, and interest on, this Note are payable at 250 E. Wisconsin Avenue, Milwaukee, WI 53202, initially, and if changed, last appearing on the records of the Company as designated in writing by the Holder hereof from time to time.  The Company will pay each interest payment and the outstanding principal due upon this Note before or on the Maturity Date, less any amounts required by law to be deducted or withheld, to the Holder of this Note by check or wire transfer addressed to such Holder at the last address appearing on the records of the Company.  The forwarding of such check or wire transfer shall constitute a payment of outstanding principal hereunder and shall satisfy and discharge the liability for principal on this Note to the extent of the sum represented by such check or wire transfer.  Interest shall be payable in Common Stock (as defined below) pursuant to paragraph 4(b) herein.

This Note is subject to the following additional provisions:

3.           This Note may be transferred or exchanged only in compliance with the Securities Act of 1933, as amended ("Act") and applicable state securities laws.  Any attempted transfer to a non-qualifying party shall be treated by the Company as void.  Prior to due presentment for transfer of this Note, the Company and any agent of the Company may treat the person in whose name this Note is duly registered on the Company's records as the owner hereof for all other purposes, whether or not this Note be overdue, and neither the Company nor any such agent shall be affected or bound by notice to the contrary.  Any Holder of this Note electing to exercise the right of conversion set forth in Section 4(a) hereof, in addition to the requirements set forth in Section 4(a), and any prospective transferee of this Note, also is required to give the Company written confirmation that this Note is being converted ("Notice of Conversion") in the form annexed hereto as Exhibit A.

(b)           Interest on any unpaid principal balance of this Note shall be paid at the rate of 6% per annum.  Interest shall be paid by the Company in Common Stock ("Interest Shares").  The Holder may, at any time, send in a Notice of Conversion to the Company for Interest Shares based on the formula provided in Section 4(a) above.  The dollar amount converted into Interest Shares shall be all or a portion of the accrued interest calculated on the unpaid principal balance of this Note to the date of such notice.

The Company shall give the Holder 5 days written notice and the Holder during such 5 days shall have the option to convert this Note or any part thereof into shares of Common Stock at the Conversion Price set forth in paragraph 4(a) of this Note.  Once the Holder has been paid the redemption amount, the Holder shall surrender to the Company this Note, accompanied by proper assignment hereof in blank together with any resolutions of the Company’s board of directors held by the Holder or its counsel authorizing the issuance of any additional shares and such resolutions shall be of no further force or effect.

(e)           In case of any Sale Event in connection with which this Note is not redeemed or converted, the Company shall cause effective provision to be made so that the Holder of this Note shall have the right thereafter, by converting this Note, to purchase or convert this Note into the kind and number of shares of stock or other securities or property (including cash) receivable upon such reclassification, capital reorganization or other change, consolidation or merger by a holder of the number of shares of Common Stock that could have been purchased upon exercise of the Note and at the same Conversion Price, as defined in this Note, immediately prior to such Sale Event. The foregoing provisions shall similarly apply to successive Sale Events. If the consideration received by the holders of Common Stock is other than cash, the value shall be as determined by the Board of Directors of the Company or successor person or entity acting in good faith.

5.           No provision of this Note shall alter or impair the obligation of the Company, which is absolute and unconditional, to pay the principal of, and interest on, this Note at the time, place, and rate, and in the form, herein prescribed.

6.           The Company hereby expressly waives demand and presentment for payment, notice of non-payment, protest, notice of protest, notice of dishonor, notice of acceleration or intent to accelerate, and diligence in taking any action to collect amounts called for hereunder and shall be directly and primarily liable for the payment of all sums owing and to be owing hereto.

8.           If one or more of the following described "Events of Default" shall occur:

(a)           The Company shall default in the payment of principal or interest on this Note or any other note issued to the Holder by the Company and such default shall not have been cured within five days; or

(b)           Any of the material representations or warranties made by the Company herein or in any certificate or financial or other written statements heretofore or hereafter furnished by or on behalf of the Company in connection with the execution and delivery of this Note shall be false or misleading in any respect; or

(e)           A trustee, liquidator or receiver shall be appointed for the Company or for a substantial part of its property or business without its consent and shall not be discharged within thirty (30) days after such appointment; or

(f)           Any governmental agency or any court of competent jurisdiction at the instance of any governmental agency shall assume custody or control of the whole or any substantial portion of the properties or assets of the Company; or

(g)           One or more money judgments, writs or warrants of attachment, or similar process, in excess of twenty thousand dollars ($20,000) in the aggregate, shall be entered or filed against the Company or any of its properties or other assets and shall remain unpaid, unvacated, unbonded or unstayed for a period of fifteen (15) days or in any event later than five (5) days prior to the date of any proposed sale thereunder; or

(h)           Bankruptcy, reorganization, insolvency or liquidation proceedings, or other proceedings for relief under any bankruptcy law or any law for the relief of debtors shall be instituted voluntarily by or involuntarily against the Company; or

(i)           The Company shall have its Common Stock delisted from an exchange (including the OTCBB exchange) or, if the Common Stock trades on an exchange, then trading in the Common Stock shall be suspended for more than 10 consecutive days;

(j)           If a majority of the members of the Board of Directors of the Company on the date hereof are no longer serving as members of the Board; or

(j)           The Company shall not deliver to the Holder the Common Stock pursuant to paragraph 4 herein without restrictive legend within 4 business days of its receipt of a Notice of Conversion.

Then, or at any time thereafter, unless cured, and in each and every such case, unless such Event of Default shall have been waived in writing by the Holder (which waiver shall not be deemed to be a waiver of any subsequent default) at the option of the Holder and in the Holder's sole discretion, the Holder may consider this Note immediately due and payable, without presentment, demand, protest or (further) notice of any kind (other than notice of acceleration), all of which are hereby expressly waived, anything herein or in any note or other instruments contained to the contrary notwithstanding, and the Holder may immediately, and without expiration of any period of grace, enforce any and all of the Holder's rights and remedies provided herein or any other rights or remedies afforded by law.  Upon an Event of Default, interest shall be accrue at a default interest rate of 24% per annum or, if such rate is usurious or not permitted by current law, then at the highest rate of interest permitted by law.
 
9.           In case any provision of this Note is held by a court of competent jurisdiction to be excessive in scope or otherwise invalid or unenforceable, such provision shall be adjusted rather than voided, if possible, so that it is enforceable to the maximum extent possible, and the validity and enforceability of the remaining provisions of this Note will not in any way be affected or impaired thereby.

10.           Neither this Note nor any term hereof may be amended, waived, discharged or terminated other than by a written instrument signed by the Company and the Holder.

11.           The Company represents that it is not a “shell” issuer and has never been a “shell” issuer or that if it previously has been a “shell” issuer that at least 12 months have passed since the Company has reported form 10 type information indicating it is no longer a “shell issuer.  Further. The Company will instruct its counsel to either (i) write a 144- 3(a)(9) opinion to allow for salability of the conversion shares or (ii) accept such opinion from Holder’s counsel.

12           This Note shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of New York applicable to contracts made and wholly to be performed within the State of New York and shall be binding upon the successors and assigns of each party hereto.  The Holder and the Company hereby mutually waive trial by jury and consent to exclusive jurisdiction and venue in the courts of the State of New York.  This Agreement may be executed in counterparts, and the facsimile transmission of an executed counterpart to this Agreement shall be effective as an original.

The Holder will send the Company a notice of conversion upon every conversion showing the amount of principal and interest paid down and the number of shares converted as a result.  Any shares remaining after the amounts due under this Note has been fully converted will be returned to the Company and any resolutions of the Company’s board of directors held by New Venture Attorneys authorizing the issuance of any additional shares will also be returned to the Company and be of no further force or effect...
