Item 1.01 Entry Into A Material Definitive Agreement

 

Share Exchange Agreement

 

On May 3, 2013, the Company, The CodeSmart Group, Inc. (“CODESMART™”), a Nevada corporation and stockholders of CODESMART™ who collectively own 68.06% of CODESMART™ (the “CodeSmart Stockholders”) entered into and consummated transactions pursuant to a Share Exchange Agreement (the “Share Exchange Agreement,” such transaction referred to as the “Share Exchange Transaction”), whereby (i) the Company issued to the CodeSmart Stockholders an aggregate of 3,062,500 shares of its common stock, par value $.0001 (“Common Stock”), in exchange for 68.06% of equity interests of CODESMART™ held by the CodeSmart Stockholders. After the Share Exchange Transaction, the Company intends to implement an 8-for-1 forward stock split of Common Stock. As a result of the Share Exchange Transaction, CODESMART™ became a subsidiary of the Company.

 

 
 

  

The Share Exchange Agreement contains representations and warranties by us, CODESMART™ and the CodeSmart Stockholders which are customary for transactions of this type such as, with respect to the Company: organization, good standing and qualification to do business; capitalization; subsidiaries; authorization and validity of the transaction and transaction documents; consents being obtained or not required to consummate the transaction; no conflict or violation of Articles of Incorporations and By-laws, with respect to CODESMART™: authorization; capitalization; and title to CODESMART™’s common stock being exchanged, and with respect to CodeSmart Stockholders: authorization; no conflict or violation of law; investment purpose; accredited investor status; reliance on exemption on the Company’s Common Stock to be exchanged; and transfer or resale pursuant to the 1933 Act, as amended.

 

PIPE

 

Also on May 3, 2013 and simultaneous with the closing of the Share Exchange Transaction, the Company consummated a private placement of its Common Stock pursuant to a Securities Purchase Agreement (the “PIPE SPA”) with certain accredited investors (“PIPE Investors”), where the Company sold an aggregate of 168,750 shares of Common Stock for gross proceeds of $270,000 (the “PIPE”). The PIPE SPA contains representations and warranties of the Company that are customary to this type of transactions. Under the PIPE SPA, the Company granted piggy-back registration rights to the PIPE Investors, where the Company will be obligated to include the Common Stock sold in the PIPE in a registration statement which the Company prepares to file with the SEC relating to an offering for the Company’s own account or the account of others under the Securities Act, other than an underwritten offering or on Form S-4 or Form S-8.

 

Lockup Agreement

The Lockup Agreement will expire on the one year anniversary from the date when the Lockup Agreement was signed.

 

Item 2.01 Completion of Acquisition or Disposition of Assets

 

On May 3, 2013, we completed the acquisition of CODESMART™ pursuant to the Share Exchange Agreement. The acquisition was accounted for as a reverse merger and recapitalization effected by a share exchange. CODESMART™ is considered the acquirer for accounting and financial reporting purposes. The assets and liabilities of the acquired entity have been brought forward at their book value and no goodwill has been recognized.

 

OUR CORPORATE STRUCTURE

 

The Company is a Florida corporation incorporated on February 10, 2012 in the State of Florida. Following the acquisition of CODESMART™, CODESMART™ became our direct subsidiary effective on May 3, 2013.

 

 
 

  

The following diagram sets forth the structure of the Company as of the date of this Report:

 

 

OUR BUSINESS

 

Overview

 

First Independence Corp. was incorporated in the State of Florida on February 10, 2012. Our activities since inception consisted of primarily of trying to develop a facility to create our own private label pourable food products (hot and cold) for national supermarket chains and specialty stores. Immediately following the closing of the Share Exchange Transaction, the Company incorporated the business of CODESMART™.

 

The CodeSmart Group, Inc. (“CODESMART™”) was formed on October 3, 2012, as a corporation under the laws of the state of Nevada. International Alliance Solutions LLC (“IAS”) was formed by the founders of CODESMARTTM as a limited liability company in the State of Delaware on December 14, 2010. Currently, IAS is in the process of transferring all of its assets, including the trademark “CODESMARTTM to The CodeSmart Group, Inc. CODESMART™ seeks to become a recognized leader in ICD-10 preparation, education and implementation. ICD-10 is the 10th revision of the International Statistical Classification of Diseases and Related Health Problems (“ICD-10”), a medical classification list by the World Health Organization (“WHO”). This system is utilized by the medical industry for medical diagnosis codes, which is the method by which all healthcare professionals request payment for services rendered in virtually all medical and health care situations. The codes also are the basis of all clinical data as to all procedures that have been performed. Every medical insurance claim submitted to insurance companies has to be accompanied by a medical code for the condition, treatments, diagnosis and any procedures performed by healthcare providers for the treatment of an illness, injury or disease. Said another way, the financial side of the medical industry and the business practices of healthcare providers are dependent on the medical codes.

 

As the new medical coding system, ICD-10 is mandated by Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services (“CMS”) to take effect on October 1, 2014. In addition, the ICD-10 code sets are not a simple update of the ICD-9 code set, the previous system. The ICD-10 code sets have fundamental changes in structure and concepts that make them very different from ICD-9. With the mandated switch from ICD-9 to ICD-10 rapidly approaching, we believe there will be a significant shortage of coders and billers. To address this anticipated demand, CODESMART™ has already established and is currently operating CODESMART™ University, which we believe to be the best available ICD-10 education and training solution in the country and which is the top ranked solution according to HIMSS (Health Information Management Systems Society), the largest national healthcare association. CODESMART™ offers the education program in ICD-10 to educate existing coders and practitioners, as well as new coders into the industry to help with the severe shortage of medical coders for ICD-10.

 

 
 

  

On October 4, 2012, CODESMART™ launched its branded on-line coding school CODESMART™ UNIVERSITY, the keystone of an integrated package of services, all of them designed to provide a complete integrated solution for ICD-10 conversion and the revenue cycle to healthcare professionals. CODESMART™’s core focus is to furnish the US healthcare industry with educated, trained and qualified ICD-10 certified coders. CODESMART™ is utilizing its partnership with the Florida International University (the “FIU”), which provides support as strategic partner to host CODESMART™ UNIVERSITY on a private label basis for Universities and Colleges nationally through the integration of its vast infrastructure of professors and subject matter experts who are currently working for the school pursuant to a Course Development and Management Services and License Agreement. CODESMART™ has already begun to enroll students into its existing coders and new coder programs. The new Coder program is an early adapter to the market and CODESMART™ will become a leader in educating talent to become new coders.

 

Our Products

 

ICD-10 Online Training

 

CODESMART™ UNIVERSITY provides a dynamic on-line training program that teaches current and new medical coding professionals to be proficient with using the new ICD-10-CM/PCS coding systems. We provide three types of different training courses in implementing the ICD-10 coding programs: ICD-10 training for existing coding professionals, ICD-10 training for new coding professionals, and ICD-10 for clinicians. The CODESMART™ learning platform, supported by Florida International University (FIU), offers the most interactive approach to learning in ICD-10 nationally. It addresses the three ways of learning, tactile, verbal, and audio. The course design allows interactivity within each course, and provides access to outside resources for additional learning. The three dimensional design of the course actually allows students to learn anatomy and physiology through virtual dissection of the human body parts and many types of interactive exercises to reinforce learning.

 

Consulting Services

 

CODESMART™ also provides a number of ancillary services, which integrate to provide a complete ICD-10 and revenue cycle solution, including but not limited to the following:

 

  Training and education for ICD10 -CODESMART™ has the ability to provide highly qualified management and staff, including qualified ICD10 trainers;
     
  ICD10 preparation for healthcare providers;
     
  Outsourced coding/auditing;
     
  Placement Service for trainers and coders; and
     
  Clinical documentation improvement programs and training

 

Workshops and Corporate Training

 

CODESMART™ plans to host live instructional workshops at a variety of different sites, including but not limited to hospitals, schools, or other continuing education courses. Additionally, we plan to air these instructional workshops via webinar.

 

CODESMART™ also plans to offer extra certifications/ courses (Specialty Certifications) to the following practice areas or specialties:

 

  Physicians
  Dental
  Chiropractors
  Nursing
  Surgery
  Radiology

 

 
 

 

When appropriate corporate/hospital/facility/practice training in other subject areas such as practice management, project management and training will also be offered to prospective students.

 

Conventions /Conferences

 

CODESMART™ plans to host annual meetings/conventions with various continuing education programs. Exhibitors and vendors at such events will be able to present new products to the coders, office managers, physicians (and other certification holders). Initially we anticipate these being small regional meetings until we grow into the ability to host meetings on a national scale.

 

Our Market Opportunity

 

Healthcare is the largest industry in the United States today, accounting for approximately 1 in 8 workers (16 million people), and is responsible for generating approximately $2.7 trillion each year, and growing. (http://www.npr.org/blogs/health/2012/03/19/148932689/health-care-in-america-follow-the-money). In this huge industry, there are currently about 1 million existing coders, 3 million nurses, 1 million physicians, and 15 million hospital employees. Experts project that an additional few million new coders will be needed during the next 3 years as the industry transitions from ICD-9, the previous coding system, to ICD-10. (U.S. Department of Education, National Center for Education Statistics)

 

We believe businesses that will need ICD-10 training and support services will include hospitals, physicians, ambulatory centers, clinics, nursing homes and any other provider who codes for reimbursement. In addition to businesses, our students may come from colleges and universities, professional and vocational schools, consulting firms, healthcare IT firms, EHR companies, individual consultants, and other related firms. We also believe CODESMART™ can train anyone who is not a coder today but wishes to become one. Their benefit is to become part of a fast-growing field with great earnings potential and plenty of available jobs.

 

The Department of Health and Human Services oversees medical diagnosis codes, and the new system, ICD-10, has already been mandated. All medical service providers in the United States must be ICD-10 compliant by no later than October 1, 2014. There are approximately 15 million physicians, nurses, medical coders, and hospital employees in the U.S. who need to receive this mandatory expertise through training and education. The old medical code system had approximately 13,000 codes, and ICD-10 has approximately 160,000, highlighting the significant amount of education regarding codes that need to take place in order for medical practitioners and hospitals to be compliant and continue to qualify for payments (The Differences Between ICD-9 and ICD-10, American Medical Association, Fact Sheet No. 2. http://www.ama-assn.org/ama1/pub/upload/mm/399/icd10-icd9-differences-fact-sheet.pdf).

 

Additionally, we believe there will be a projected shortage of coders in the near future, as many are nearing retirement age, and the remaining coders will have to specialize. For these reasons, Forbes has reported that there is going to be significant demand for ICD-10 trained coders over the coming years, especially for coders that are new to the industry, who can make over $50,000 per year without a college degree (http://www.forbes.com/sites/davidwhelan/2011/10/11/how-to-get-an-80000-job-in-health-care-without-a-college-degree/).

 

With the mandated switch from ICD-9 to ICD-10 rapidly approaching, we believe there will be a significant shortage of coders and billers. The workload for ICD-10 is much greater because of the difference in specificity between ICD-9 and ICD-10 coding. The level of detail in ICD-10 requires an entirely different skill set. The starting salary for a coder with no experience is expected to be over $50,000 according to a variety of industry associations because of the great demand for new talent that will be caused by ICD-10. Further In December 2011, Forbes magazine reported that coding for ICD-10 is one of the fastest growing employment fields in the United States. We will be focusing our efforts on becoming a leader in educating and creating new coders to help fill that void.

 

We believe that our alliance with FIU offers a significant advantage in providing distribution and outreach channels with high schools, community colleges and other associations.

 

 
 

 

The following groups will be especially targeted for careers in coding ICD-10:

 

  Senior population
  High School Graduates
  Community Colleges
  Military Veterans
  Disabled
  Federal and State Programs
  Unemployment Offices

 

We anticipate reaching these markets will be done through advertising, community outreach and setting up relationships with the various channels and distribution networks. To assist in the marketing of the university to new coders, we are establishing a loan financing program for students with a national Financing company. Having this program in place will draw students to our program and increase access to a much larger population of potential students who may not otherwise be able to afford tuition costs.

 

Strategic Partnerships/Alliances

 

From November 2012 to April 2013, the Company entered into several consulting agreements and established extensive relationship with strategic partners around the country, including colleges and universities, consulting firms, healthcare companies, technology companies, staffing companies, and other outsourced coding/billing companies. Pursuant to these agreements, our strategic partners promote and market our ICD-10 training courses, refer clients, organize public relationship activities, and build brand recognition for our products.

Marketing and Sales

 

CODESMART™ is undertaking a marketing campaign with a multi-faceted approach to covering all healthcare market segments.

 

Identifying the CODESMART™ brand and delivering our message to healthcare facilities is a critical component of our marketing plan. Our target market is anyone who needs to code for reimbursement, including but not limited to, hospitals, physicians, ambulatory centers, nursing homes and payers.

 

We have initiated a major sponsorship campaign and are now endorsed by HIMMS, a cause-based, not-for-profit organization exclusively focused on providing global leadership for the optimal use of information technology (IT) and management systems for the betterment of healthcare, as the leading provider of ICD-10 educational services for the HIMMS ICD-10 playbook industry wide. The playbook was created by HIMSS to provide the industry with resources related to their ICD-10 transition. We believe that this program will help generate significant leads, build our CODESMART™ UNIVERSITY brand as a recognized industry leader and give us a recognizable identity as an organization known to ensure the right coding for all procedures, offering the best education in the industry for Coders and Clinicians.

 

 
 

  

We have initiated a relationship with the largest direct marketing company for the education space to engage in nationwide campaign to generate leads for CODESMART™ UNIVERSITY. A public relations campaign integrated with the lead generation program is in the process of being designed and executed and will include advertising and press coverage in magazines, radio, television, industry publications, trade shows, industry associations, press releases, social media, etc. These will all be part of the branding strategy.

 

In addition, we have begun a significant Social Media campaign utilizing blogs, twitter, Facebook, and LinkedIn. A targeted campaign will be made to the following distribution groups:

 

  1.   Technology companies
  2.   Healthcare Management Companies
  3.   Group Purchasing Organizations
  4.   Law firms
  5.   CPA’s
  6.   Strategic Partners
  7.   Large Consulting Firms
  8.   Trade Associations
  9.   Universities, colleges and other educational organizations
  10.   Outsourced coding and billing companies

 

In addition, the Company will continue to speak at industry functions and maintain a very high presence in industry associations. Further, we are planning to exhibit CODESMART™ UNIVERSITY at major industry events on an ongoing basis.

 

As we grow, we believe we will be able to bring on new business development professionals and account management specialists with s strong healthcare background to pursue sales in two distinct markets, the two main categories of end users, which are healthcare organizations (providers and payers) and potential new coders consisting of those looking for new career opportunities. These market segments require two very different sales strategies. The healthcare organization would require a more sophisticated and consultative sale while the recruitment of potential new coders will focus on unemployed or individuals in a career transition. There are significant distribution relationships in place that will need to be managed and cultivated by account representatives.

 

Competitive Environment/ Comparison of ICD 10 Online Curriculums

 

We believe that CODESMART™ University is the unique ICD-10 online curriculum that provides training for all of the following in one school: existing coders, new coders and clinicians in a certification program. Other existing and large online universities, do not have certification programs for ICD-10. Consulting companies which have created on-line learning platforms, do not provide training for new coders, only existing coders and clinicians but less interactive and not designed by education design experts.

 

Large consulting Companies, do not provide training for new coders, their solutions are based strictly for existing coders and clinicians. Many organizations are only capable of providing limited onsite training resources. AHIMA (American Health Information Management Association) is currently training onsite for ICD 10 Train the Trainers. CODESMART™ is very distinguished in the way we deliver on-line education in a very interactive and intuitive manner with professors to help mentor students through the program. The programs of study are extremely difficult to replicate and building an on-line University of our caliber is a barrier to entry.

Coding School Development

 

The curriculum was developed by the CODESMART™ educational team lead by the Dean of CODESMART™ UNIVERSITY and our network of subject matter experts. We believe these are the top experts in the industry for ICD-10 and related subject matter for the curriculum.

 

FIU is providing the customer service and back office support for CODESMART™ UNIVERSITY. FIU will continue to provide operational and administrative support for the university. This will include webhosting, customer service, continued programming and development of new courses going forward. There will be constant updates to the content as rules and regulations change. Additionally, we will be creating new courses over the next few years that go beyond coding and clinical documentation.

 

New Course programs slated for the future include: trainers, project management, and healthcare IT curriculum.

 

CODESMART™ will maintain the content of the courses as updates are necessary. Our professors/subject matter experts provide these updates and will be available to answer questions from students as well as help monitor their respective courses. CODESMART™ provides the professors for the university.

 

Consultants and coders will be added, as needed and will all be certified. Our systems will be structured to focus on execution and business impact of each project, such as the development of a roadmap for all major activities required for completion of our course, as well as, recommendations for program governance and coordination throughout the project.

 

Technology

 

We have technology in tracking sales/commissions and software to track sales, keep database of coders/candidates and deployment of staff will be utilized. Outsourced coders are virtual and based where they live in order to recruit and have access to the best available talent. We have software in place to code remotely which provides a safe and secure environment and it is HIPAA compliant.

 

Our websites continue to be revised as new curriculum is launched. Search engine optimization will also be done. This will be managed by an outside firm.

 

 
 

  

Our Growth Strategy

 

We intend to pursue the following strategies to drive our future growth:

 

  Generate Enrollment Growth. We intend to continue to drive increased enrollments through targeted marketing and recruiting efforts as well as through referrals.
     
  Enhance Curriculum to Include new programs in Health IT, continuing education for coders, clinical documentation, and other related programs.
     
  Expand Presence consulting and outsourced coding business.
     
  Develop a loan financing program with related products and programs attached to provide to the customer so they keep a long term relationship with CODESMART™.
     
  Strengthen Awareness and Recognition of the CODESMART™™ Brand. The CODESMART™ brand already enjoys strong recognition within ICD-10 coding community. We have developed a comprehensive brand strategy and intend to invest in further developing awareness of both the CODESMART™ brand and the core philosophy behind our learning system.
     
  Continue to align with large distribution partners who give us exclusivity in targeted markets, thus locking out the competition.

 

Significant Accomplishments

 

  The CODESMART™ name and brand has been conditionally approved as a trademark with the U.S. Patent Office.
     
  CODESMART™ is the first to market in reaching out to new coders. This is the single most important aspect of the business. The competition is fighting for hospitals, and forgetting about the consumer opportunity of bringing many new people into the industry.
     
  Distribution arrangements are already in place with major companies. This gives CODESMART™ widespread reach and immediate access to hundreds of thousands of potential students. Each distribution agreement includes exclusivity for CODESMART™, so competitors are locked out from Company partners, which also provide endorsements in each population represented.
     
  The Company entered into long-term agreement with AMERINET, one of the country’s three largest hospital Group Purchasing Organizations representing 2800 hospitals in a sole source “choice” program. This program gives CODESMART the preferential market position and an endorsement from AMERINET as the premier provider of all ICD-10 related services. The hospital members who are partners in The GPO receive incentives by AMERINET to utilize CODESMART™ products because we are an AMERINET CHOICE partner.
     
  CODESMART™ University has been endorsed by two Regional Extension Centers in Florida, a federal program overseen by the ONC, (Office of National Coordinator For Health Information technology) who promote electronic health information and ICD-10 to over 6,000 providers in South Florida.

 

Intellectual Property

 

Trademarks and Trade Secrets

 

On May 7, 2013, the Company entered into an Assignment of Trademark and Trademark Application Agreement with IAS, whereby IAS transferred the trademark of “CODESMART™” to the Company. We are in the process of registering the trademark under our name with the United States Patent and Trademark Office.

 

We will also use confidentiality agreements and non-compete agreements to protect our proprietary rights.

 

 
 

   

License

 

CODESMART™ grants permission to various universities and colleges to use the ICD-10 training program. Pursuant to a license agreement with the FIU, CODESMART™ grants FIU permission to use the content of the ICD-10 coding program on FIU’s online courses, and FIU is responsible to provide course development and management on the CODESMART™ online courses and remit the course fees to CODESMART™. FIU has completed the on-line course development and the courses are open to the students. We also entered into an agreement with the University of Central Florida (the “UCF”), whereby we granted a license to use the ICD-10 training curriculums to the UCF and the UCF provides the platform of online courses for the ICD-10 programs.

 

Employees

 

CODESMART™ currently has 5 full-time employees. CODESMART™ considers its employee relations to be good, and to date has not experienced a work stoppage due to a labor dispute. None of CODESMART™’s employees are represented by a labor union. For further information see section 5.02 below.

 

Bridge Financing of CODESMART™

 

On April 15 and April 24, 2013, CODESMART™ conducted a bridge offering of approximately $250,000 of its Secured Convertible Promissory Notes (the “Bridge Notes”) to 2 accredited investors (the “Bridge Investors”) pursuant to that certain Subscription Agreement dated as April 12, 2013. The Bridge Notes are of a term of 90 day and may be converted the securities offered in the first private placement of the company with which CODESMART™ consummates business combination after the issuance of the Bridge Notes (the “Private Placement”). The conversion price of the Bridge Notes is 100% of the price of the securities sold in the Private Placement. As a result of the consummation of the Share Exchange Transaction and the PIPE on May 3, 2013, the Bridge Notes may be converted, at the option of the Bridge Investors, into shares of Common Stock at the conversion price of $1.6 per share.

The marketing campaign is multifaceted and includes a very aggressive direct marketing campaign along with building strong distribution partnerships as it has already begun to do very successfully. The majority of funds received will be put into marketing, branding, and sales activities along with operational support activities. The success of the company is directly related to the money to be spent on marketing and sales campaigns and support. Building a national brand and creating market awareness will be critical. Supporting sales and customers will also be important from an operational perspective.

 

 
 

  

Over the next twelve months of operations, the company has a goal of enrolling approximately 1,000 existing coders, 1,500 clinicians and approximately 5,000 new coders over the next 12 months. We estimate about $10 million in revenues over the following 12 months from the date of this document.

The following table summarizes total current assets, liabilities and working capital at December 31, 2012.

 

   December 31, 2012 
Current Assets  $6,074 
Current Liabilities  $2,215 
Working Capital  $3,949

Net cash obtained through all financing activities for the period ended December 31, 2012 was $25,000.  This consisted of $25,000 in proceeds from the sale and issuance of common stock.

 

Going Concern

 

As reflected in the accompanying financial statements, the Company has a net loss and net cash used in operations of $23,386 and $18,926, respectively, for the year ended December 31, 2012.

 

The ability of the Company to continue its operations is dependent on Management’s plans, which include the raising of capital through debt and/or equity markets with some additional funding from other traditional financing sources, including term notes, until such time that funds provided by operations are sufficient to fund working capital requirements. The Company may need to incur additional liabilities with certain related parties to sustain the Company’s existence.

 

 
 

  

The Company may require additional funding to finance the growth of its current and expected future operations as well as to achieve its strategic objectives.  The Company believes its current available cash along with anticipated revenues may be insufficient to meet its cash needs for the near future if it does not receive the anticipated additional funding.   There can be no assurance that financing will be available in amounts or terms acceptable to the Company, if at all. In that event, the Company would be required to change its growth strategy and seek funding on that basis, if at all.

 

The accompanying financial statements have been prepared on a going concern basis, which contemplates the realization of assets and the satisfaction of liabilities in the normal course of business.  These financial statements do not include any adjustments relating to the recovery of the recorded assets or the classification of the liabilities that might be necessary should the Company be unable to continue as a going concern.

 

In response to these problems, management has taken the following actions:

 

  - seek additional third party debt and/or equity financing;

 

  - continue with the implementation of the business plan;

 

  - increase revenue commercialization of the technology.

 

To date all of our funding has been generated from private investment(s). During the next twelve months we anticipate raising funding to continue expansion, however as of this writing we only have sufficient funds to proceed with basic company operations only; we do not have sufficient funds to fully implement our business plan until such time that we are able to raise additional funding, to which there is no guarantee. If we do not obtain the funds necessary for us to continue our business activities we may need to curtail or cease our operations until such time as we have sufficient funds.

 

Recent Accounting Pronouncements

 

There are no recent accounting pronouncements that are expected to have an effect on the Company’s financial statements. 

 

Critical Accounting Policies

 

Our financial statements and related public financial information are based on the application of accounting principles generally accepted in the United States (“GAAP”). GAAP requires the use of estimates; assumptions, judgments and subjective interpretations of accounting principles that have an impact on the assets, liabilities, revenues and expense amounts reported. These estimates can also affect supplemental information contained in our external disclosures including information regarding contingencies, risk and financial condition. We believe our use of estimates and underlying accounting assumptions adhere to GAAP and are consistently and conservatively applied. We base our estimates on historical experience and on various other assumptions that we believe to be reasonable under the circumstances. Actual results may differ materially from these estimates under different assumptions or conditions. We continue to monitor significant estimates made during the preparation of our financial statements.  

 

 
 

  

Our significant accounting policies are summarized in Note 2 of our financial statements. While all these significant accounting policies impact our financial condition and results of operations, we view certain of these policies as critical. Policies determined to be critical are those policies that have the most significant impact on our financial statements and require management to use a greater degree of judgment and estimates. Actual results may differ from those estimates. Our management believes that given current facts and circumstances, it is unlikely that applying any other reasonable judgments or estimate methodologies would cause effect on our consolidated results of operations, financial position or liquidity for the periods presented in this report.

 

We believe the following critical accounting policies and procedures, among others, affect our more significant judgments and estimates used in the preparation of our consolidated financial statements:

 

Development Stage Company

 

The Company’s financial statements are presented as those of a development stage enterprise. Activities during the development stage primarily include equity based financing and further implementation of the business plan, including research and development.

 

Revenue Recognition and Deferred Revenue

 

Revenues will consist primarily of tuition and fees derived from courses taught by the University online as well as from related educational resources that the University provides to its students, such as access to our online materials and learning management system.  Tuition revenue and most fees from related educational resources will be recognized pro-rata over the applicable period of instruction.  The University will maintain an institutional tuition refund policy, which provides for all or a portion of tuition to be refunded if a student withdraws during stated refund periods.  Certain States in which students reside impose separate, mandatory refund policies, which override the University’s policy to the extent in conflict.  If a student withdraws at a time when a portion or none of the tuition is refundable, then in accordance with its revenue recognition policy, the University will immediately recognize as revenue the tuition that was not refunded.  Since the University will recognize revenue pro-rata over the term of the course and because, under its institutional refund policy, the amount subject to refund is never greater than the amount of the revenue that has been deferred, under the University’s accounting policies revenue will not be recognized with respect to amounts that could potentially be refunded.  The University will also charge students annual fees for library, technology and other services, which will be deferred and recognized over the related service period.  Deferred revenue and student deposits in any period will represent the excess of tuition, fees, and other student payments received as compared to amounts recognized as revenue and will be reflected as current liabilities in the accompanying consolidated balance sheets.  The University’s educational programs have starting and ending dates that differ from its fiscal quarters.  Therefore, at the end of each fiscal quarter, a portion of revenue from these programs is not yet earned.  Other revenues may be recognized as sales occur or services are performed. There was no revenue earned for the period.

 

Instructional Costs and Services

 

Instructional costs and services will consist primarily of costs related to the administration and delivery of the Company’s educational programs.  This expense category includes compensation for faculty and administrative personnel, costs associated with online faculty, curriculum and new program development costs, bad debt expense related to accounts receivable, financial aid processing costs, technology license costs and costs associated with other support groups that provide services directly to the students. There were no instructional costs and service costs incurred for the period.

 

Marketing and Promotional Costs

 

Marketing and promotional costs will include compensation of personnel engaged in marketing and recruitment, as well as costs associated with purchasing leads, producing marketing materials, and advertising.  Such costs are generally affected by the cost of advertising media and leads, the efficiency of the Company’s marketing and recruiting efforts, compensation for the Company’s enrollment personnel and expenditures on advertising initiatives for new and existing academic programs.  Advertising costs will consist primarily of marketing leads and other branding and promotional activities.  Non-direct response advertising activities are expensed as incurred, or the first time the advertising takes place, depending on the type of advertising activity. There were no marketing and promotional costs incurred for the period.

 

 
 

  

Stock-based compensation

 

The Company accounts for stock-based compensation in accordance with ASC Topic 718, “Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation” established financial accounting and reporting standards for stock-based employee compensation. It defines a fair value based method of accounting for an employee stock option or similar equity instrument. The Company accounts for compensation cost for stock option plans in accordance with ASC 718. The Company accounts for share based payments to non-employees in accordance with ASC 505-50 “Accounting for Equity Instruments Issued to Non-Employees for Acquiring, or in Conjunction with Selling, Goods or Services”.

 

The Company recognizes all forms of share-based payments, including stock option grants, warrants and restricted stock grants, at their fair value on the grant date, which are based on the estimated number of awards that are ultimately expected to vest.

 

Share based payments, excluding restricted stock, are valued using a Black-Scholes option pricing model. Share based payment awards issued to non-employees for services rendered are recorded at either the fair value of the services rendered or the fair value of the share-based payment, whichever is more readily determinable. The grants are amortized on a straight-line basis over the requisite service periods, which is generally the vesting period. If an award is granted, but vesting does not occur, any previously recognized compensation cost is reversed in the period related to the termination of service. Stock based compensation expenses are included in cost of goods sold or selling, general and administrative expenses, depending on the nature of the services provided, in the Statement of Operations. For the period (October 3, 2012 (date of inception) to December 31, 2012 share based compensation amounted to $2,335.

 

Off Balance Sheet Arrangements:

 

We do not have any off-balance sheet arrangements, financings, or other relationships with unconsolidated entities or other persons, also known as “special purpose entities” (SPEs).

 

DESCRIPTION OF PROPERTY

DIRECTORS, EXECUTIVE OFFICERS, PROMOTERS AND CONTROL PERSONS

 

Directors and Executive Officers

 

The following table sets forth the name and position of each of our current executive officers and directors. All directors hold office until the next annual meeting of stockholders or until their respective successors are elected, except in the case of death, resignation or removal:

 

Name   Age   Position
         
Ira Shapiro   52   Chief Executive Officer and Chairman of  the Board of Directors
         
Sharon Franey   52   Chief Operating Officer and Director

 

A brief biography of our director is more fully described in Item 5.02, which is incorporated herein by reference.

 

 
 

  

Committees

 

We do not have a standing nominating, compensation or audit committee. Rather, our full board of directors performs the functions of these committees. Also, we do not have a “audit committee financial expert” on our board of directors as that term is defined by Item 401(d)(5)(ii) of Regulation S-K. We do not believe it is necessary for our board of directors to appoint such committees because the volume of matters that come before our board of directors for consideration permits the directors to give sufficient time and attention to such matters to be involved in all decision making. Additionally, because our Common Stock is not listed for trading or quotation on a national securities exchange, we are not required to have such committees.

 

Director Independence

 

Our securities are not listed on a national securities exchange or in an inter-dealer quotation system which has requirements that directors be independent.  We do not have majority of independent directors.

 

Code of Ethics

 

Our Board of Directors adopted a code of ethics filed as Exhibit 14.1 to the Registration Statement on S-1 filed on April 11, 2012, and is incorporated by reference herein. The Code of Ethics applies to all of our directors, officers and employees, including our principal executive officer, principal financial officer and principal accounting officer. The code of ethics address, among other things, honesty and ethical conduct, conflicts of interest, compliance with laws, regulations and policies, including disclosure requirements under the federal securities laws, confidentiality, trading on inside information, and reporting of violations of the code.

DESCRIPTION OF SECURITIES

 

General

 

The Company’s authorized capital stock consists of 500,000,000 shares of common stock, with a par value of $.0001 per share, and 10,000,000 shares of preferred stock, with a par value of $.0001 per share (“Preferred Stock”).

 

Common Stock

 

The Company’s common stock is entitled to one vote per share on all matters submitted to a vote of the stockholders, including the election of directors. Generally, all matters to be voted on by stockholders must be approved by a majority (or, in the case of election of directors, by a plurality) of the votes entitled to be cast by all shares of our common stock that are present in person or represented by proxy, subject to any voting rights granted to holders of any Preferred Stock. Holders of the Company’s common stock representing fifty percent (50%) of the Company’s capital stock issued, outstanding and entitled to vote, represented in person or by proxy, are necessary to constitute a quorum at any meeting of the Company’s stockholders. The Company’s Articles of Incorporation do not provide for cumulative voting in the election of directors.

 

Subject to any preferential rights of any outstanding series of Preferred Stock created by the Company’s Board of Directors from time to time, the holders of shares of the Company’s Common Stock will be entitled to such cash dividends as may be declared from time to time by the Company’s Board of Directors from funds available therefore.

 

Subject to any preferential rights of any outstanding series of Preferred Stock created from time to time by the Company’s Board of Directors, upon liquidation, dissolution or winding up, the holders of shares of the Company’s common stock will be entitled to receive pro rata all assets available for distribution to such holders.

 

Holders of the Company’s common stock have no preemptive rights, no conversion rights and there are no redemption provisions applicable to our common stock.

 

Preferred Stock

 

The Company currently has one class of Preferred Stock, the Series A Preferred Stock, par value $.0001 per share (the “Series A Preferred Stock”). The Series A Preferred Stock is convertible into Common Stock on a one-to-one basis and is entitled to vote together as a single class which is counted as 60% of the total votes so long as the Series A Preferred Stock is outstanding, with no dividend rights and no liquidation preferences.

 

The Company’s Board of Directors is authorized by its Articles of Incorporation to issue Preferred Stock from time to time in one or more series with such designations, preferences and relative participating, optional or other special rights and qualifications, limitations or restrictions, thereof, as shall be stated in the resolutions adopted by the Company’s Board of Directors providing for the issuance of the Preferred Stock.

 

Warrants

 

There are no outstanding warrants to purchase our securities.

 

Options

 

There are no outstanding options to purchase our securities.

 

 
 

  

MARKET PRICE OF AND DIVIDENDS ON OUR COMMON
EQUITY AND RELATED STOCKHOLDER MATTERS

 

While there is no established public trading market for our Common Stock, our Common Stock is quoted on the OTC Markets OTCQB, under the symbol “FICF.”

 

The market price of our Common Stock is subject to significant fluctuations in response to variations in our quarterly operating results, general trends in the market and other factors, over many of which we have little or no control. In addition, broad market fluctuations, as well as general economic, business and political conditions, may adversely affect the market for our Common Stock, regardless of our actual or projected performance.

 

We have not paid any cash dividends to our shareholders. The declaration of any future cash dividends is at the discretion of our board of directors and depends upon our earnings, if any, our capital requirements and financial position, our general economic conditions, and other pertinent conditions. It is our present intention not to pay any cash dividends in the foreseeable future, but rather to reinvest earnings, if any, in our business operations.

 

Holders

 

As of May 9, 2013, we have 6,231,250 shares of our common stock par value, $.0001 issued and outstanding. There are approximately 31 beneficial owners of our common stock.

 

Transfer Agent

 

The Transfer Agent for our capital stock is Island Stock Transfer, located at 15500 Roosevelt Boulevard, Suite 301.

 

Penny Stock Regulations

 

The Securities and Exchange Commission has adopted regulations which generally define “penny stock” to be an equity security that has a market price of less than $5.00 per share. Our Common Stock, when and if a trading market develops, may fall within the definition of penny stock and be subject to rules that impose additional sales practice requirements on broker-dealers who sell such securities to persons other than established customers and accredited investors (generally those with assets in excess of $1,000,000, or annual incomes exceeding $200,000 individually, or $300,000, together with their spouse).

 

For transactions covered by these rules, the broker-dealer must make a special suitability determination for the purchase of such securities and have received the purchaser’s prior written consent to the transaction. Additionally, for any transaction, other than exempt transactions, involving a penny stock, the rules require the delivery, prior to the transaction, of a risk disclosure document mandated by the Securities and Exchange Commission relating to the penny stock market. The broker-dealer also must disclose the commissions payable to both the broker-dealer and the registered representative, current quotations for the securities and, if the broker-dealer is the sole market-maker, the broker-dealer must disclose this fact and the broker-dealer’s presumed control over the market. Finally, monthly statements must be sent disclosing recent price information for the penny stock held in the account and information on the limited market in penny stocks. Consequently, the “penny stock” rules may restrict the ability of broker-dealers to sell our Common Stock and may affect the ability of investors to sell their Common Stock in the secondary market.

 

Dividend Policy

 

Any future determination as to the declaration and payment of dividends on shares of our Common Stock will be made at the discretion of our board of directors out of funds legally available for such purpose. We are under no contractual obligations or restrictions to declare or pay dividends on our shares of Common Stock. In addition, we currently have no plans to pay such dividends. Our board of directors currently intends to retain all earnings for use in the business for the foreseeable future. See “Risk Factors.”

 

Equity Compensation Plan Information

 

Currently, there is no equity compensation plan in place.

 

 
 

  

LEGAL PROCEEDINGS

 

There are no material proceedings to which any director or officer, or any associate of any such director or officer, is a party that is adverse to our Company or any of our subsidiaries or has a material interest adverse to our Company or any of our subsidiaries. No director or executive officer has been a director or executive officer of any business which has filed a bankruptcy petition or had a bankruptcy petition filed against it during the past ten years. No director or executive officer has been convicted of a criminal offense or is the subject of a pending criminal proceeding during the past ten years. No director or executive officer has been the subject of any order, judgment or decree of any court permanently or temporarily enjoining, barring, suspending or otherwise limiting his involvement in any type of business, securities or banking activities during the past ten years. No director or officer has been found by a court to have violated a federal or state securities or commodities law during the past ten years.

 

In addition, there are no material proceedings to which any affiliate of our Company, or any owner of record or beneficially of more than five percent of any class of voting securities of our Company, is a party that is adverse to our Company or any of our subsidiaries or has a material interest adverse to our Company or any of our subsidiaries. Currently there are no legal proceedings pending or threatened against us. We are not currently involved in any litigation that we believe could have a materially adverse effect on our financial condition or results of operations.

 

There is no action, suit, proceeding, inquiry or investigation before or by any court, public board, government agency, self-regulatory organization or body pending or, to the knowledge of the executive officers of our Company or any of our subsidiaries, threatened against or affecting our Company, our common stock, any of our subsidiaries or of our Company’s or our Company’s subsidiaries’ officers or directors in their capacities as such, in which an adverse decision could have a material adverse effect.

 

However, from time to time, we may become involved in various lawsuits and legal proceedings which arise in the ordinary course of business. Litigation is subject to inherent uncertainties, and an adverse result in these or other matters may arise from time to time that may harm our business.

 

RECENT SALES OF UNREGISTERED SECURITIES

 

Reference is made to Item 3.02 of this Current Report on Form 8-K for a description of recent sales of unregistered securities, which is hereby incorporated by reference.

 

INDEMNIFICATION OF OFFICERS AND DIRECTORS

 

Neither the Articles of Incorporation nor the Bylaws of First Independence Corp. provide for indemnification of our directors. However, Section 607.0850 of the Florida Statutes provides indemnification of officers, directors, employees, and agents.

 

The general effect of the foregoing is to indemnify a control person, officer or director from liability under certain circumstances, thereby making us responsible for any expenses or damages incurred by such control person, officer or director in any action brought against them based on their conduct in such capacity, provided they did not engage in fraud or criminal activity.

 

We have been advised that in the opinion of the Securities and Exchange Commission indemnification for liabilities arising under the Securities Act is against public policy as expressed in the Securities Act, and is, therefore, unenforceable. In the event that a claim for indemnification against such liabilities is asserted by one of our directors, officers, or controlling persons in connection with the securities being registered, we will, unless in the opinion of our legal counsel the matter has been settled by controlling precedent, submit the question of whether such indemnification is against public policy to a court of appropriate jurisdiction. We will then be governed by the court’s decision.

 

 
 

  

Item 3.02 Unregistered Sales of Equity Securities.

 

Pursuant to the Share Exchange Agreement, on May 3, 2013, we issued 3,062,500 shares of our Common Stock to the CODESMART™ Stockholders, in exchange for 68.06% of the outstanding shares of CODESMART™. Such securities were not registered under the Securities Act of 1933. We relied on exemptions under Section 4(2) and Rule 701 of the Securities Act of 1933 to issue the Company’s shares in the Share Exchange Transaction.

 

On May 3, 2013, we issued 168,750 shares of Common Stock to certain accredited investors for an aggregate proceed of $270,000 pursuant to the Securities Purchase Agreement dated May 3, 2013. Such securities were issued in reliance upon the exemption from registration provided by Rule 506 of Regulation D promulgated under the Securities Act of 1933.

On May 3, 2013, Nigel Lindsay (“Lindsay”), a majority shareholder of the Company, entered into a Securities Purchase Agreement (the “Purchase Agreement,” such transaction, the “Purchase Transaction”) with CODESMART™, pursuant to which Lindsay sold to CODESMART™ his 9,000,000 shares of Common Stock of the Company (the “Majority Interests”). Immediately after the Purchase Transaction on May 3, 2013, the 9,000,000 shares of Common Stock were cancelled.

 

Simultaneous with the consummation of the Purchase Transaction, the Company consummated the Share Exchange Transaction with CodeSmart Shareholders, where CodeSmart Shareholders received an aggregate of 3,062,500 shares of the Common Stock in exchange for 68.06% of the equity interests of CODESMART™.

 

Item 5.02 Departure of Directors or Principal Officers; Election of Directors; Appointment of Principal Officers.

Item 5.03 Amendments to Articles of Incorporation or Bylaws; Change in Fiscal Year.

 

On May 3, 2013, the Company filed Articles of Amendments to its Articles of Incorporation to (i) increase the aggregate number of shares which the Company shall have authority to issue to 600,000,000 shares, consisting of 500,000,000 shares of Common Stock and 100,000,000 shares of preferred stock, par value $.0001 per share (“Preferred Stock”); (ii) to designate the rights of Series A Convertible Preferred Stock (the “Series A Preferred Stock”), par value $.0001 per share, which is convertible into Common Stock on a one-to-one basis, with no dividend rights and no liquidation preferences.

 

On May 3, 2013, the Company changed its fiscal year end from December 31 to February 28 as a result of the Share Exchange Transaction consummated on May 3, 2013. The Share Exchange Transaction is accounted for as a reverse merger and recapitalization with the acquired company, CODESMART™, becoming the acquirer in this transaction.

 

Item 5.06 Change in Shell Company Status

 

As described in Item 1.01 and Item 2.01 of this Current Report, on May 3, 2013, we entered into a Share Exchange Agreement and consummated the Share Exchange Transaction, where we acquired all of the issued and outstanding shares of CODESMART™ in exchange for the issuance of 3,062,500 shares of Common Stock of the Company.

 

As a result of the Share Exchange, CODESMART™ became an operating subsidiary, of which 68.08% of the equity interests are owned by us, and upon the issuance of 3,062,500 shares of the Company’s Common Stock, the CODESMART™ Stockholders collectively own approximately 49.15% of all our issued and outstanding Common Stock. We currently have a total of 6,231,250 issued and outstanding shares of Common Stock.

 

 
 

  

As a result of the consummation of the Share Exchange, we are no longer a shell company as that term is defined in Rule 12b-2 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended.

OF

SERIES A CONVERTIBLE PREFERRED STOCK

OF

FIRST INDEPENDENCE CORP.

 

FIRST INDEPENDENCE CORP. (the “Company”), a Company organized and existing under Florida Business Corporation Act (“Florida Statutes”) , does hereby certify, that, pursuant to authority conferred upon the Board of Directors by the Company’s Articles of Incorporation, as amended and pursuant to Section 607.0602 of Florida Statutes, the Board of Directors duly adopted resolutions (i) approving a series of the Company’s previously authorized preferred stock, par value $.0001 per share (“Preferred Stock”), and (ii) providing for the designations, preferences and relative participating, optional or other rights, and the qualifications, limitations or restrictions thereof, of one (1) share of Series A Convertible Preferred Stock of the Company as follows:

 

RESOLVED, that the Company is authorized to issue one (1) share of Series A Convertible Preferred Stock, par value $.0001 per share (the “Series A Preferred Stock”), which shall have the following powers, designations, preferences and other special rights:

 

1. Dividends.

 

The holder(s) of the Series A Preferred Stock shall not be entitled to dividends, except that in the event that a dividend is declared on the Company’s Common Stock, par value $.0001 per share (“Common Stock”), the holder(s) of the Series A Preferred Stock shall receive the dividends that would be payable if all then outstanding shares were converted into Common Stock immediately prior to the declaration of the dividend.

 

2. No Liquidation Preference. In the event of the liquidation, dissolution or winding up of the Company, the holder(s) of Series A Preferred Stock shall not be entitled to a liquidation preference over the holder(s) of the Common Stock but the holder(s) of the Series A Preferred shall share pro rata with the holder(s) of Common Stock, as if all then outstanding shares of Series A Preferred Stock were converted into Common Stock, in any assets of the Company available therefor after the payment of all sums to which the holders of other classes of outstanding Preferred Stock are entitled.

 

3. Voting Rights. (a) Except as otherwise provided herein or by law and in addition to any right to vote as a separate class as provided by law, the holder(s) of the Series A Preferred Stock shall have full voting rights and powers equal to the voting rights and powers of holders of Common Stock and shall be entitled to notice of any stockholders meeting in accordance with the Bylaws of the Company, and shall be entitled to vote, with respect to any question upon which holders of Common Stock have the right to vote, including, without limitation, the right to vote for the election of directors, voting together with the holders of Common Stock as one class. For so long as Series A Preferred Stock is issued and outstanding, the holder(s) of Series A Preferred Stock shall vote together as a single class with the holders of the Company’s Common Stock, and the holders of any other class or series of shares entitled to vote with the Common Stock, with the holder(s) of Series A Preferred Stock being entitled to sixty percent (60%) of the total votes on all such matters regardless of the actual number of shares of Series A Preferred Stock then outstanding, and the holders of Common Stock and any other shares entitled to vote being entitled to their proportional share of the remaining 40% of the total votes based on their respective voting power. The vote of total outstanding Series A Preferred Stock shall determine the vote of the Series A Preferred Stock as a class. If any holder of Series A Preferred Stock shall wish to take action by written consent, he shall provide the other holders with not less than five (5) days written notice of such action and then may solicit their written consent.

 

 
 

 

Whenever Holders are required or permitted to take any action by vote, such action may be taken without a meeting on written consent, setting forth the action so taken and signed by the holders of the outstanding capital stock of the Company having not less than the minimum number of votes that would be necessary to authorize or take such action at a meeting at which all shares entitled to vote thereon were present and voted.

 

4. Conversion,

 

(a) Conversion upon Class Consent. All outstanding shares of Series A Preferred Stock may be converted into Common Stock at the election of the Holder(s) of all of the outstanding Series A Preferred Stock, Each share of Series A Preferred Stock, upon such election, shall be convertible into one (1) share of Common Stock (the “Conversion Ratio”. Upon the conversion of the outstanding Series A Preferred Stock, there shall be no shares of Series A Preferred Stock issued and outstanding.

 

(b) Automatic Conversion.

 

(i) All of the outstanding shares of Series A Preferred Stock shall be automatically converted into Common Stock at the then effective Conversion Ratio on (A) the close of business on the business day immediately preceding the date fixed for consummation of any transaction resulting in a Change in Control of the Company, or (B) the close of business on the business day immediately following the election by the holder of all then outstanding Series A Preferred Stock of the mandatory conversion of all of the then outstanding shares of Series A Preferred Stock

 

(ii) A “Change in Control” means a (i) any sale of all or substantially all of the assets of the Company; or (ii) any merger, consolidation or other business combination of the Company with or into another company or entity in which the Company is not the surviving entity.

 

(c) Mechanics of Optional Conversion

 

(i) Notice of Conversion. Holder(s) shall effect conversions by providing the Company with the form of conversion notice attached hereto as Annex A (a “Notice of Conversion”) fully completed and executed by the holder, together with the delivery by the holder to the Company of the stock certificate(s) representing the number of shares of Series A Preferred Stock to be converted, with such stock certificates being duly endorsed in full for transfer to the Company or with an applicable stock power duly executed by the holder in the manner and form as deemed reasonable by the transfer agent of the Common Stock. The conversion date shall be the trading day immediately following the date that such Notice of Conversion and applicable stock certificates are received by the Company (the “Conversion Date”). Shares of Series A Preferred Stock converted into Common Stock in accordance with the terms hereof shall be canceled and may not be reissued.

 

 
 

 

(ii) Delivery of Certificates Upon Conversion. The Company shall deliver to the holder promptly following the Conversion Date certificate or certificates representing the number of shares of Common Stock being acquired upon the conversion of shares of Series A Preferred Stock.

 

(iii) Reservation of Shares Issuable Upon Conversion. The Company covenants that it will at all times reserve and keep available out of its authorized and unissued shares of Common Stock solely for the purpose of issuance on conversion of the Series A Preferred Stock, not less than such number of shares of Common Stock as shall be issuable upon the conversion of all outstanding shares of Series A Preferred Stock.

 

(iv) Fractional Shares. Upon conversion of the Series A Preferred Stock, the Company shall not be required to issue stock certificates representing fractional shares of Common Stock and the number of shares of Common Stock to be issued shall be rounded up to the nearest whole share. The number of shares issuable upon conversion shall be determined on the basis of the total number of shares of Series A the holder is at the time converting into Common Stock and the number of shares of Common Stock issuable upon such aggregate conversion.

 

(v) Transfer Taxes. The issuance of certificates for shares of the Common Stock on conversion of the Series A Preferred Stock shall be made without charge to the holders thereof for any documentary stamp or similar taxes that may be payable in respect of the issue or delivery of such certificate, provided that the Company shall not be required to pay any tax that may be payable in respect of any transfer involved in the issuance and delivery of any such certificate upon conversion in a name other than that of the holder of such shares of Series A Preferred Stock so converted and the Company shall not be required to issue or deliver such certificates unless or until the person or persons requesting the issuance thereof shall have paid to the Company the amount of such tax or shall have established to the satisfaction of the Company that such tax has been paid.

 

5. Certain Adjustments.

 

(a) Stock Dividends, Stock Splits, Reclassifications, Recapitalizations, Etc. If the Company, at any time as long as any shares of the Series A Preferred Stock remains outstanding: (i) pays a stock dividend or otherwise make a distribution or distributions on shares of its Common Stock payable in shares of Common Stock, (ii) subdivides (including by way of stock split) its outstanding shares of Common Stock into a larger number of shares, (iii) combine (including by way of reverse stock split) outstanding shares of Common Stock into a smaller number of shares, or (iv) issue by reclassification of shares of Common Stock any shares of capital stock of the Company, then the Conversion Ratio shall be multiplied by a fraction the numerator of which shall be the number of shares of Common Stock outstanding before such event and the denominator of which shall be the number of shares of Common Stock outstanding before such event. Any adjustment made pursuant to this Section shall become effective immediately after the record date for the determination of stockholders entitled to receive such dividend or distribution and shall become effective immediately after the effective date in the case of a subdivision, combination or re-classification. Thereafter each share of Series A Preferred Stock shall be convertible into Common Stock based on the new Conversion Ratio.

 

 
 

 

(b) Calculations. All calculations under this Section 5 shall be made to the nearest cent or the nearest 1/100th of a share, as the case may be. For purposes of this Section 5, the number of shares of Common Stock deemed to be issued and outstanding as of a given date shall be the sum of the number of shares of Common Stock (excluding treasury shares and shares owned by subsidiaries, if any) actually issued and outstanding.

 

(c) Notice of Adjustment to Conversion Ratio. Whenever the Conversion Ratio is adjusted pursuant to this Section 5, the Company shall promptly mail to each holder a notice setting forth the Conversion Ratio after such adjustment and setting forth a brief statement of the facts requiring such adjustment.

 

(d) Notices of Other Events. If (i) the Company shall authorize the granting to all holders of the Common Stock of rights or warrants to subscribe for or purchase any shares of capital stock of any class or of any rights; (ii) the approval of any stockholders of the Company shall be required in connection with any action, including without limitation, reclassification of the Common Stock or a Change in Control or any Fundamental Transaction, (iii) the Company shall authorize the dissolution, liquidation or winding up of the affairs of the Company; then in each case, the Company shall cause to be mailed to the holders at their last addresses as they shall appear upon the stock records of the Company, at least 30 days prior to the applicable record or effective date, a notice stating (x) the date on which a record is to be taken for the purpose of such redemption, rights or warrants, or if a record is not to be taken, the date as of which the holders of the Common Stock of record to be entitled to such rights or warrants are to be determined or (y) the date on which such reclassification is expected to become effective or close, and the date as of which it is expected that holders of the Common Stock of record shall be entitled to exchange their shares of the Common Stock for securities, cash or other property deliverable upon such reclassification, Change in Control or Fundamental Transaction; provided, that the failure to mail such notice or any defect therein or in the mailing thereof shall not affect the validity of the corporate action required to be specified in such notice, provide such corporate action is otherwise valid.

 

 
 

 

(e) Fundamental Transaction. If, at any time while the Series A Preferred Stock is outstanding, (i) the Company effects any merger or consolidation of the Company with or into another person, (ii) the Company effects any sale of all or substantially all of its assets in one or a series of related transactions, (iii) any tender offer or exchange offer (whether by the Company or another Person) is completed pursuant to which holders of Common Stock are permitted to tender or exchange their shares for other securities, cash or property, or (iv) the Company effects any reclassification of the Common Stock or any compulsory share exchange pursuant to which the Common Stock is 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 Series A Preferred Stock, the holder shall have the right to receive, for each share that would have been issuable upon such conversion absent 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 the holder of one share of Common Stock, immediately prior to such Fundamental Transaction (the “Alternate Consideration”). For purposes of any such conversion, the determination of the Conversion Ratio shall be appropriately adjusted to apply to such Alternate Consideration based on the amount of Alternate Consideration issuable in respect of one share of Common Stock in such Fundamental Transaction, and the Company shall apportion the Conversion Ratio among the Alternate Consideration in a reasonable manner reflecting the relative value of any different components of the Alternate Consideration. If holders of Common Stock are given any choice as to the securities, cash or property to be received in a Fundamental Transaction, then the holder shall be given the same choice as to the Alternate Consideration it receives upon any conversion of this Series A Preferred Stock following such Fundamental Transaction. To the extent necessary to effectuate the foregoing provisions, any successor to the Company or surviving entity in such Fundamental Transaction shall file a new Certificate with the same terms and conditions and issue to the holder new preferred stock consistent with the foregoing provisions and evidencing the holder’s right to convert such preferred stock into the Alternate Consideration. The terms of any agreement pursuant to which a Fundamental Transaction is effected shall include terms requiring any such successor or surviving entity to comply with the provisions of this paragraph and insuring that this Series A Preferred Stock (or any such replacement security) will be similarly adjusted upon any subsequent transaction analogous to a Fundamental Transaction. Notwithstanding the foregoing or any other provisions of this Certificate, in the event that the agreement relating to a Fundamental Transaction provides for the conversion or exchange of the Series A Preferred Stock into equity or debt securities, cash or other consideration and the agreement is approved by the holder(s) of all the then-outstanding shares of Series A Preferred Stock, then the holders of the Series A Preferred Stock shall have only the rights set forth in such agreement.

 

6. Limitations Upon Disposition. The Series A Preferred Stock issuable pursuant to this Certificate and the shares of Common Stock issuable on conversion of the Series A Preferred Stock (collectively the “Securities”), if not registered by the Company under the Securities Act, may not be sold or offered for sale in the absence of an effective registration statement as to the Securities under the Securities Act, or an opinion of counsel satisfactory to the Company that such registration statement is not required. The above restrictions in this Section 6 shall be contained in a legend to be placed on each of the Series A Preferred Stock certificates at the time of issuance of the shares and a stop transfer order may be placed on such shares by the Company. In addition, the following language shall appear on the back of each of the Series A Preferred Stock certificates:

 

ANY TRANSFEREE OF THIS CERTIFICATE SHOULD CAREFULLY REVIEW THE TERMS OF THE COMPANY’S CERTIFICATE OF DESIGNATIONS, PREFERENCES AND RIGHTS OF THE PREFERRED SHARES REPRESENTED BY THIS CERTIFICATE

 

 
 

 

7. Additional Rights.

SECURED CONVERTIBLE PROMISSORY NOTE

 

___________ US$_______

 

FOR VALUE RECEIVED, The CodeSmart Group, Inc., a corporation incorporated under the laws of the State of Nevada and located at 103 Waters Edge Congers, NY 10920 (the “Company”), hereby promises to pay to the order of ___________________located at _____________________or their successors or assigns (the “Holder”), the principal amount of ______________________United States Dollars (US$______________) on or prior to 90 days after the issuance of this Note (the Maturity Date), in accordance with the terms hereof. This Secured Convertible Promissory Note (this note, and all notifications, extensions, future advances, supplements, and renewals thereof, and any substitutions there for, hereinafter referred to as the Note) was issued pursuant to the Subscription Agreement, dated as of the even date hereof (the “Subscription Agreement”), entered into by and between the Company and the Holder. Capitalized terms not otherwise defined herein shall have the meanings ascribed to them in the Subscription Agreement.

 

1.        Payments of Principal and Interest.

 

(a)        Payment of Principal. The principal amount of this Note shall be paid to the Holder on or prior to the Maturity Date.

 

(b)        Payment of Interest. The Company further promises to pay interest in cash on the unpaid principal amount of this Note at a rate per annum equal to ten percent (10%), commencing to accrue on the date hereof and payable on the Maturity Date or earlier prepayment or conversion as provided herein. Interest will be computed on the basis of a 360-day year of twelve 30-day months for the actual number of days elapsed.

 

(c)        General Payment Provisions. So long as a Holder or any of its nominees shall be the holder of any Note, and notwithstanding anything contained elsewhere in this Note to the contrary, all sums of principal, interest or otherwise becoming due on this Note shall be made in lawful money of the United States of America by certified bank check or wire transfer to such account as the Holder may designate by written notice to the Company no later than 3:00 p.m. New York time, on the date such payment is due, without the presentation or surrender of such Note or the making of any notation thereon. Any payment made after 3:00 p.m. New York time, on a Business Day will be deemed made on the next following Business Day. 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 Business Day, and interest shall be payable on any principal so extended for the period of such extension. All amounts payable under this Note shall be paid free and clear of, and without reduction by reason of, any deduction, set-off or counterclaim. The Company will afford the benefits of this Section to the Holder and to each other Person holding this Note. For purposes of this Note, “Business Day” shall mean any day other than a Saturday, Sunday or a day on which commercial banks in the State of New York are authorized or required by law or executive order to remain closed.

  Initials __________
   
 

 

(d)        Optional Prepayment. At any time prior to the Maturity Date, the Company may pre-pay this Note without penalty and, upon such prepayment in full, the Holder shall have no further rights under this Note, including no rights of conversion.

 

2.         Conversion of Note.

 

(a)        Optional Conversion. Subject to the consummation of a PIPE (as defined below), the Holder shall have the right from time to time, and at any time and as long as there remains outstanding principal or interest of this Note, to convert all or any portion of the outstanding and unpaid principal and interest of this Note into fully paid and non- assessable shares of Common Stock of the Company, as such Common Stock exists on the Issuance Date, or any shares of capital stock or other securities of the Company into which such Common Stock shall hereafter be changed or reclassified at the conversion price determined as provided herein (a “Conversion”). The number of shares that shall be issuable upon conversion of this Note (the “Conversion Shares”) shall equal the number obtained by dividing (x) the outstanding principal amount of this Note plus accrued and unpaid interest thereon, by (y) the Conversion Price. The “Conversion Price,” subject to adjustments as provided in Section 3 hereof, shall equal 100% of the per share purchase price of the securities offered in the PIPE if they are common stock, or the conversion or exercise price if they are securities which are convertible into or exercisable for common stock of the Pubco (“PIPE Securities,” such per share price of PIPE Securities referred to as “PIPE Securities Price”). “PIPE” shall mean the first sale of the securities of the publicly traded company with which the Company consummates the Merger (as defined in the Subscription Agreement) with a publically traded company (the “Pubco”) for cash after the issuance of this Note. The Company shall, within five (5) Business Days of the consummation of the PIPE, provide a written notice to Holder, setting forth the PIPE Securities Price. In the event the PIPE is never consummated as long as the Note is outstanding, the Holder shall not have the right to convert hereunder.

 

(b)        Mechanics of Holders Conversion. The conversion of this Note shall be conducted in the following manner:

 

(i)        Subject to Section 2(a) hereof, this Note may be converted by the Holder in whole or in part at any time from time to time after the Issuance Date, by (A) submitting to the Company a Notice of Conversion in the form of Exhibit A (by facsimile, e-mail or other reasonable means of communication dispatched on the Conversion Date prior to 6:00 p.m., New York, New York time) and (B) surrendering this Note at the principal office of the Company. 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 the Company unless the entire unpaid principal amount of this Note is so converted. The Holder and the Company 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 the Company, 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 the Company shall, prima facie, be controlling and determinative in the absence of manifest error. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if any portion of this Note is converted as aforesaid, the Holder may not transfer this Note unless the Holder first physically surrenders this Note to the Company, whereupon the Company will forthwith issue and deliver upon the order of the Holder a new Note of like tenor, registered as the Holder (upon payment by the Holder of any applicable transfer taxes) may request, representing in the aggregate the remaining unpaid principal amount of this Note. 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 and interest of this Note represented by this Note may be less than the amount stated on the face hereof. At such time as such conversion has been effected, the rights of the Holder of this Note as the Holder of such Note shall cease (with respect to the amount so converted), and the Person or Persons in whose name or names any certificate or certificates for the Common Stock are to be issued upon such conversion shall be deemed to have become the holder or holders of record of the Common Stock represented thereby.

  Initials __________
   
 

 

(ii)       As soon as possible after the conversion has been effected (but in any event within five (5) Business Days), the Company or acquirer shall deliver to the converting holder a certificate or certificates representing the Conversion Shares issuable by reason of such conversion in such name or names and such denomination or denominations as the converting holder has specified.

 

(iii)      No fraction of shares or scrip representing fractions of shares will be issued on conversion. Upon any conversion of the entire outstanding principal of and interest on this Note, the number of shares or other securities issuable shall be rounded to the nearest whole number.

 

(iv)      The issuance of certificates for Conversion Shares upon conversion of this Note shall be made without charge to the holder hereof in respect thereof or other cost incurred by the Company or acquirer in connection with such conversion and the related issuance of Conversion Shares.

 

(v)       Neither the Company nor acquirer shall close its books against the transfer of this Note in any manner which interferes with the timely conversion of this Note. The Company shall assist and cooperate with any holder of this Note required to make any governmental filings or obtain any governmental approval prior to or in connection with the conversion of this Note (including, without limitation, making any filings required to be made by the Company).

 

(vi)      The Company or its acquirer shall at all times reserve and keep available out of its authorized but unissued shares of the common stock, solely for the purpose of issuance upon conversion hereunder, such number of shares of other type of capital securities of the Company or its acquirer issuable upon conversion. All Conversion Shares which are so issuable shall, when issued, be duly authorized and validly issued, fully paid and non-assessable and free from all taxes, liens and charges. The Company or its acquirer shall take all such actions as may be necessary to assure that all such Conversion Shares may be so issued without violation of any applicable law or governmental regulation or any requirements of any domestic securities exchange upon which such shares of capital stock are quoted.

 

(c)        The Holder’s Conversion Limitations. The Company shall not affect any conversion of this Note, and the Holder shall not have the right to convert any portion of this Note, to the extent that after giving effect to the conversion set forth on the Conversion Notice submitted by the Holder, the Holder (together with the Holder’s affiliates (as defined herein) and any Persons acting as a group together with the Holder or any of the Holder’s affiliates) would beneficially own in excess of the Beneficial Ownership Limitation (as defined herein). To ensure compliance with this restriction, the Holder will be deemed to represent to the Company each time it delivers a Conversion Notice that such Conversion Notice has not violated the restrictions set forth in this Section 2 and the Company shall have no obligation to verify or confirm the accuracy of such determination. The restriction described in this paragraph may be waived, in whole or in part, upon sixty-one (61) days’ prior notice from the Holder to the Company to increase such percentage.

  Initials __________
   
 

 

For purposes of this Note, the “Beneficial Ownership Limitation” shall be 4.99% of the number of shares of Common Stock outstanding immediately after giving effect to the issuance of shares of Common Stock issuable upon conversion of this Note. The limitations contained in this paragraph shall apply to a successor holder of this Note. For purposes of this Note, “Person” means an individual, a limited liability company, a partnership, a joint venture, a corporation, a trust, an unincorporated organization or a government or any department or agency thereof.

 

3.        Adjustment to the Conversion Price. If at any time or from time to time after the Issuance Date and prior to the Maturity Date, the Company takes action with respect to any of the following, the Conversion Price and kind of shares or other securities to be issued upon conversion shall be adjusted pursuant to this Section 3:

 

(a)       Stock Splits, Combinations and Dividends. If the shares of Common Stock outstanding at any time after the date hereof are subdivided or combined into a greater or smaller number of shares of Common Stock, or if a dividend is paid on the Common Stock in shares of Common Stock, the Conversion Price or the Conversion Shares to be issued, as the case may be, shall be proportionately reduced in case of subdivision of shares or stock dividend or proportionately increased in the case of combination of shares, in each such case by the ratio which the total number of shares of Common Stock outstanding immediately after such event bears to the total number of shares of Common Stock outstanding immediately prior to such event.

 

(b)        Merger, Sale, Reclassification, Exchange and Substitution.

 

(i)In case the Company within two years after the Issuance Date shall do any of the following (each, a “Triggering Event”): (a) consolidate or merge with or into any other Person and the Company shall not be the continuing or surviving Company of such consolidation or merger, or (b) permit any other Person to consolidate with or merge into the Company and the Company shall be the continuing or surviving Person but, in connection with such consolidation or merger, any securities of the Company shall be changed into or exchanged for securities of any other Person or cash or any other property, or (c) transfer all or substantially all of its properties or assets to any other Person, or (d) effect a capital reorganization or reclassification of its securities, then, and in the case of each such Triggering Event, proper provision shall be made to the Conversion Price so that, upon the basis and the terms and in the manner provided herein, the Holder shall be entitled upon the conversion hereof at any time after the consummation of such Triggering Event, to the extent the Note has not been converted or redeemed prior to such Triggering Event, to receive at the Conversion Price in effect at the time immediately prior to the consummation of such Triggering Event, in lieu of the Common Stock issuable upon such conversion prior to such Triggering Event, the securities, cash and property to which such Holder would have been entitled upon the consummation of such Triggering Event if such Holder had converted immediately prior thereto (including the right of a shareholder to elect the type of consideration it will receive upon a Triggering Event), subject to adjustments (subsequent to such corporate action) as nearly equivalent as possible to the adjustments provided for elsewhere in this Section 3. Promptly upon the occurrence of a Triggering Event, the Company shall notify the Holder in writing of such Triggering Event and provide the calculations in determining the number of shares of Common Stock issuable upon conversion and the adjusted Conversion Price.

 

 4 
  Initials __________
   
 

 

(ii)The surviving entity and/or each Person (other than the Company) which may be required to deliver any securities, cash or property upon the conversion of the Note as provided herein shall assume, by written instrument delivered to, and reasonably satisfactory to, the Holder, (A) the obligations of the Company under this Note (and if the Company shall survive the consummation of such Triggering Event, such assumption shall be in addition to, and shall not release the Company from, any continuing obligations of the Company under this Note) and (B) the obligation to deliver to such holder such securities, cash or property as, in accordance with the foregoing provisions of this subsection (b).

 

(iii)Upon any liquidation, dissolution or winding up of the Company, the Common Stock issuable upon the conversion of the Note is changed into the same or a different number of shares of any class of stock, whether by recapitalization, reclassification or otherwise (other than a subdivision or combination of shares provided for above), then, in any such event, each Holder shall have the right thereafter to convert the Note into the kind and amount of stock and other securities and property receivable upon the recapitalization, reclassification or other change by a holder of the number of shares of Common Stock into which the shares of this Note could have been converted immediately prior to the recapitalization, reclassification or change.

 

(c)        Dilutive Issuance.

 

If, at any time when any Notes are issued and outstanding, the Company issues or sells, or in accordance with this Section 3 is deemed to have issued or sold, any shares of Common Stock for no consideration or for a consideration per share (before deduction of reasonable expenses or commissions or underwriting discounts or allowances in connection therewith) less than the Conversion Price in effect on the date of such issuance (or deemed issuance) of such shares of Common Stock (a “Dilutive Issuance”), then immediately upon the Dilutive Issuance, the Conversion Price will be reduced to the amount of the consideration per share received by the Company in such Dilutive Issuance.

 

The Company shall be deemed to have issued or sold shares of Common Stock if the Company in any manner issues or grants any warrants, rights or options (not including Excepted Issuances as defined herein), whether or not immediately exercisable, to subscribe for or to purchase Common Stock or other securities convertible into or exchangeable for Common Stock (“Convertible Securities”) (such warrants, rights and options to purchase Common Stock or Convertible Securities are hereinafter referred to as “Options”) and the price per share for which Common Stock is issuable upon the exercise of such Options is less than the Conversion Price then in effect, then the Conversion Price shall be equal to such price per share. For purposes of the preceding sentence, the “price per share for which Common Stock is issuable upon the exercise of such Options” is determined by dividing (i) the total amount, if any, received or receivable by the Company as consideration for the issuance or granting of all such Options, plus the minimum aggregate amount of additional consideration, if any, payable to the Company upon the exercise of all such Options, plus, in the case of Convertible Securities issuable upon the exercise of such Options, the minimum aggregate amount of additional consideration payable upon the conversion or exchange thereof at the time such Convertible Securities first become convertible or exchangeable, by (ii) the maximum total number of shares of Common Stock issuable upon the exercise of all such Options (assuming full conversion of Convertible Securities, if applicable). No further adjustment to the Conversion Price will be made upon the actual issuance of such Common Stock upon the exercise of such Options or upon the conversion or exchange of Convertible Securities issuable upon exercise of such Options. “Excepted Issuances” means (i) full or partial consideration in connection with a strategic merger, acquisition, consolidation or purchase of substantially all of the securities or assets of a corporation or other entity, so long as such issuances are not for the purpose of raising capital and which holders of such securities or debt are not at any time granted registration rights, (ii) the Company’s issuance of securities in connection with strategic license agreements and other partnering arrangements, so long as such issuances are not for the purpose of raising capital and which holders of such securities or debt are not at any time granted registration rights, (iii) the Company’s issuance of Common Stock or the issuances or grants of options to purchase Common Stock to employees, directors, and consultants, pursuant to employee stock and option plans, and (iv) securities upon the exercise or exchange of or conversion of any securities exercisable or exchangeable for or convertible into shares of Common Stock issued and outstanding on the date of this Agreement.

Additionally, the Company shall be deemed to have issued or sold shares of Common Stock if the Company in any manner issues or sells any Convertible Securities, whether or not immediately convertible (other than where the same are issuable upon the exercise of Options), and the price per share for which Common Stock is issuable upon such conversion or exchange is less than the Conversion Price then in effect, then the Conversion Price shall be equal to such price per share. For the purposes of the preceding sentence, the “price per share for which Common Stock is issuable upon such conversion or exchange” is determined by dividing (i) the total amount, if any, received or receivable by the Company as consideration for the issuance or sale of all such Convertible Securities, plus the minimum aggregate amount of additional consideration, if any, payable to the Company upon the conversion or exchange thereof at the time such Convertible Securities first become convertible or exchangeable, by (ii) the maximum total number of shares of Common Stock issuable upon the conversion or exchange of all such Convertible Securities. No further adjustment to the Conversion Price will be made upon the actual issuance of such Common Stock upon conversion or exchange of such Convertible Securities.

 

4.        Exchange for PIPE Securities.

 

(a)        In lieu of the right of conversion as provided in Section 2 hereof, the Holder shall have the right, after the consummation of the PIPE and as long as there remains any unpaid principal or interest of the Note, to exchange this Note (with any and all then outstanding principal and interest) for the number of PIPE Securities at the Conversion Price.

 

(b)       The Holder may exchange this Note for PIPE Securities pursuant to Section 4(a) hereof by: (A) submitting to the Company a Notice of Exchange indicating its intention to exchange under this Section 3 (by facsimile, e-mail or other reasonable means of communication dispatched on the Conversion Date prior to 6:00 p.m., New York, New York time) and (B) surrendering this Note at the principal office of the Company.

 

(c)       As soon as possible after the exchange has been effected (but in any event within five (5) Business Days), the Company or acquirer shall deliver to the exchanging holder a certificate or certificates representing the exchanged PIPE Securities issuable by reason of such exchange in such name or names and such denomination or denominations as the exchanging holder has specified.

 

(d)       The issuance of certificates for exchanged PIPE Securities upon Holder’s election to exchange this Note shall be made without charge to the holder hereof in respect thereof or other cost incurred by the Company or acquirer in connection with such conversion and the related issuance of exchanged PIPE Securities.

  Initials __________
   
 

 

(e)       Neither the Company nor acquirer shall close its books against the transfer of this Note in any manner which interferes with the timely exchange of this Note for the PIPE Securities. The Company and its acquirer shall assist and cooperate with any holder of this Note required to make any governmental filings or obtain any governmental approval prior to or in connection with the exchange of this Note for the PIPE Securities (including, without limitation, making any filings required to be made by the Company).

 

5.        Seniority; Additional Issuances of Debt and Equity.

 

(a)      Except as set forth on Schedule 5, this Note has a first priority security interest in the collateral as more fully described in the Security Agreement. This Note is senior to all other debt of the Company, whether now or hereinafter existing, and ranks ranks paripassu with all other Notes now or hereinafter issued pursuant to the Subscription Agreement, except as otherwise set forth on Schedule 5.

 

(b)      Except for those amounts of indebtedness set forth in Schedule 5 as being senior to, or paripassu with, the Notes (the “Existing Indebtedness”), no indebtedness of the Company is senior to, or paripassu with, this Note in right of payment, whether with respect to interest, damages or upon liquidation or dissolution or otherwise. Other than the Existing Indebtedness and any renewal or refinancing thereof that does not exceed the aggregate amount of the Existing Indebtedness and the borrowing availability under the related credit or loan agreements on the date hereof, the Company will not, and will not permit any Subsidiary to, directly or indirectly, enter into, create, incur, assume or suffer to exist any indebtedness of any kind, that is senior or paripassu in any respect to the Company’s obligations under the Notes, other than any indebtedness secured by purchase money security interests (which will be senior only as to the underlying assets covered thereby) and indebtedness under capital lease obligations (which will be senior only as to the assets covered thereby); and the Company will not, and will not permit any of its subsidiary to, directly or indirectly, incur any Lien on or with respect to any of its property or assets now owned or hereafter acquired or any interest therein or any income or profits there from.

 

6.       Transfer, Exchange and Replacement.

 

(a)      Transfer. This Note has not been and is not being registered under the provisions of the Act or any state securities laws and this Note may not be transferred prior to the end of the holding period applicable to sales under Rule 144 unless in accordance with applicable law and unless (1) the transferee is an “accredited investor” (as defined in Regulation D under the Securities Act) and (2) the holder shall have delivered to the Company an opinion of counsel, reasonably satisfactory in form, scope and substance to the Company, to the effect that this Note may be sold or transferred without registration under the Act. Prior to any such transfer, such transferee shall have represented in writing to the Company that such transferee has requested and received from the Company all information relating to the business, properties, operations, condition (financial or other), results of operations or prospects of the Company deemed relevant by such transferee, and that such transferee has been afforded the opportunity to ask questions of the Company concerning the foregoing. Upon surrender of any Note for registration of transfer or for exchange to the Company at its principal office, the Company at its sole expense will execute and deliver in exchange there is for a new Note or Notes, as the case may be, as requested by the holder or transferee, which aggregate principal amount is equal the unpaid principal amount of such Note, registered as such holder or transferee may request, dated so that there will be no loss of interest on the Note and otherwise of like tenor; provided that this Note may not be transferred by Holder to any Person other than Holder’s affiliates without the prior written consent of the Company (which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed). The issuance of new Notes shall be made without charge to the holder(s) of the surrendered Note for any issuance tax in respect thereof or other cost incurred by the Company in connection with such issuance, provided that each holder of the Note shall pay any transfer taxes associated therewith. The Company shall be entitled to regard the registered holder of this Note as the holder of the Note so registered for all purposes until the Company or its agent, as applicable, is required to record a transfer of this Note on its register.

(b)      Replacement.

WHEREAS, the Company and the Subscribers are executing and delivering this Agreement in reliance upon the exemption from securities registration for offers and sales to accredited investors afforded, interalia, under Regulation D (“Regulation D”) as promulgated by the United States Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”), and/or Section 4(2) of the Securities Act;

 

WHEREAS, the Company intends to enter into a reverse triangular merger with a publicly traded company, which is to be identified by the Subscribers and reasonably acceptable to the Company (“Pubco”), the common stock of which (“Pubco Common Stock”) is quoted on the OTCQB, in which merger Pubco will cancel the outstanding shares of the Company in exchange for shares of Pubco Common Stock so that shareholders of the Company will own an aggregate of 60% of total outstanding shares of Pubco Common Stock immediately after such merger (such transaction, or any other transaction that results in the Company and its subsidiaries becoming subsidiaries of Pubco, or substantially all of the assets of the Company and its subsidiaries becoming owned directly or indirectly by, and their business being conducted directly or indirectly by, Pubco, the “Merger”);

 

WHEREAS, immediately after the date hereof and as soon as the Merger is consummated, Pubco intends to conduct a private placement offering, pursuant to Regulation D and/or Regulation S under the Securities Act and any and all applicable state securities laws (the “PIPE”) of Pubco’s securities (the “PIPE Securities”); and

 

WHEREAS, the Subscribers wish to purchase and acquire from the Company, and the Company desires to issue and sell to the Subscribers secured convertible promissory notes (the “Notes”) in the principal amounts as set forth on each Subscriber’s signature page hereto (the “Purchase Price”) up to $250,000 (the “Maximum Amount”), convertible into shares of the Company’s common stock, par value $0.0001 (the “Company Common Stock”) or if at the time of conversion the Merger has been consummated, shares of the Pubco Common Stock (Company Common Stock and the Pubco Common Stock, collectively, referred to as the “Conversion Shares”), substantially in the form attached hereto as Exhibit A. The Notes shall be convertible at a conversion price equal to 100% of the per share purchase price of the PIPE Securities if they are Pubco Common Stock, or the conversion or exercise price if they are securities which are convertible into or exercisable for Pubco Common Stock (the “PIPE Offering Price”).In lieu of conversion, the Notes may also be exchanged into the PIPE Securities at the PIPE Offering Price at the option of the Subscribers. The Notes and the Conversion Shares hereinafter referred to as the “Securities”. The Note, the Security Agreement and other documents in connection therewith are hereinafter referred to as the “Transaction Documents.”

3

Neither any Existing Company Entity nor any Person acting on its behalf has provided any Investor or its respective agents or counsel with any information that any Existing Company Entity believes constitutes material, non-public information concerning the Company, the Subsidiaries or their respective businesses, except insofar as the existence and terms of the proposed transactions contemplated hereunder may constitute such information. Each of the Existing Company Entities understands and confirms that the Investors will rely on the foregoing representations and covenants in effecting transactions in securities of the Existing Company Entities. All disclosure provided to the Investors regarding the Existing Company Entities and their respective businesses and the transactions contemplated hereby, furnished by or on behalf of the Existing Company Entities (including their respective representations and warranties set forth in this Agreement) are true and correct and do not contain any untrue statement of a material fact or omit to state any material fact necessary in order to make the statements made therein, in light of the circumstances under which they were made, not misleading. Each Investor acknowledges and agrees that the Existing Company Entities make no representations or warranties with respect to their respective businesses or the transactions contemplated hereby other than those specifically set forth in this Section 3.1 and each of the Investors have relied solely on those representations and review of the SEC Reports in making its investment decision.

 

3.2.        Representations and Warranties of the Investors. Each Investor hereby, for itself and for no other Investor, represents and warrants to the Company as follows:

 

(a)        Organization; Authority. Such Investor is an entity duly organized, validly existing and in good standing under the laws of the jurisdiction of its organization with the requisite corporate or partnership power and authority to enter into and to consummate the transactions contemplated by the applicable Transaction Documents and otherwise to carry out its obligations thereunder. The execution, delivery and performance by such Investor of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement has been duly authorized by all necessary corporate or, if such Investor is not a corporation, such partnership, limited liability company or other applicable like action, on the part of such Investor. Each of this Agreement and other Transaction Documents has been duly executed by such Investor, and when delivered by such Investor in accordance with the terms hereof, will constitute the valid and legally binding obligation of such Investor, enforceable against it in accordance with its terms, except as such enforceability may be limited by applicable bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization, moratorium, liquidation or similar laws relating to, or affecting generally the enforcement of, creditors’ rights and remedies or by other equitable principles of general application.

 

(b)        Investment Intent. Such Investor is acquiring the Shares as principal for its own account for investment purposes only and not with a view to or for distributing or reselling such Shares or any part thereof, without prejudice, however, to such Investor’s right at all times to sell or otherwise dispose of all or any part of such Shares in compliance with applicable federal and state securities laws. Subject to the immediately preceding sentence, nothing contained herein shall be deemed a representation or warranty by such Investor to hold the Shares for any period of time. Such Investor is acquiring the Shares hereunder in the ordinary course of its business. Such Investor does not have any agreement or understanding, directly or indirectly, with any Person to distribute any of the Shares.

Each Investor has such sophistication, knowledge and skill to be able to fully evaluate the risks of investing in the Company.

Neither such inquiries nor any other investigation conducted by or on behalf of such Investor or its representatives or counsel shall modify, amend or affect such Investor’s right to rely on the truth, accuracy and completeness of the Disclosure Materials and the Company’s representations and warranties contained in the Transaction Documents.

 

(f)        Certain Trading Activities. Such Investor has not directly or indirectly, nor has any Person acting on behalf of or pursuant to any understanding with such Investor, engaged in any transactions in the securities of the Company (including, without limitation, any Short Sales involving the Company’s securities) since the earlier to occur of (1) the time that such Investor was first contacted by the Company or the placement agent regarding an investment in the Company and (2) the 30th day prior to the date of this Agreement. Such Investor covenants that neither it nor any Person acting on its behalf or pursuant to any understanding with it will engage in any transactions in the securities of the Company (including Short Sales) prior to the time that the transactions contemplated by this Agreement are publicly disclosed.

Such Investor has independently evaluated the merits of its decision to purchase the Shares pursuant to the Transaction Documents, and such Investor confirms that it has not relied on the advice of any other Investor’s business and/or legal counsel in making such decision. Such Investor has not relied on the business or legal advice of the Company or any of its agents, counsel or Affiliates in making its investment decision hereunder, and confirms that none of such Persons has made any representations or warranties to such Investor in connection with the transactions contemplated by the Transaction Documents.

ARTICLE 4.

 OTHER AGREEMENTS OF THE PARTIES

 

4.1.        (a)        Shares may only be disposed of in compliance with state and federal securities laws. In connection with any transfer of the Shares other than pursuant to an effective registration statement, to the Company, to an Affiliate of an Investor or in connection with a pledge as contemplated in Section 4.1(b), the Company may require the transferor thereof to provide to the Company an opinion of counsel selected by the transferor, the form and substance of which opinion shall be reasonably satisfactory to the Company, to the effect that such transfer does not require registration of such transferred Shares under the Securities Act.

 

(b)        Certificates evidencing the Shares will contain the following legend:

 

THESE SECURITIES HAVE NOT BEEN REGISTERED WITH THE UNITED STATES SECURITIES AND EXCHANGE COMMISSION OR THE SECURITIES COMMISSION OF ANY STATE IN RELIANCE UPON AN EXEMPTION FROM REGISTRATION UNDER THE UNITED STATES SECURITIES ACT OF 1933, AS AMENDED (THE “SECURITIES ACT”), AND, ACCORDINGLY, MAY NOT BE OFFERED OR SOLD EXCEPT PURSUANT TO AN EFFECTIVE REGISTRATION STATEMENT UNDER THE SECURITIES ACT OR PURSUANT TO AN AVAILABLE EXEMPTION FROM, OR IN A TRANSACTION NOT SUBJECT TO, THE REGISTRATION REQUIREMENTS OF THE SECURITIES ACT AND IN ACCORDANCE WITH APPLICABLE STATE SECURITIES LAWS AS EVIDENCED BY A LEGAL OPINION OF COUNSEL TO THE TRANSFEROR TO SUCH EFFECT, THE SUBSTANCE OF WHICH SHALL BE REASONABLY ACCEPTABLE TO THE COMPANY. NOTWITHSTANDING THE FOREGOING, THESE SECURITIES MAY BE PLEDGED IN CONNECTION WITH A BONA FIDE MARGIN ACCOUNT SECURED BY SUCH SECURITIES.

 

11
 

 

The Company acknowledges and agrees that an Investor may from time to time pledge, and/or grant a security interest in some or all of the Shares pursuant to a bona fide margin agreement in connection with a bona fide margin account and, if required under the terms of such agreement or account, such Investor may transfer pledged or secured Shares to the pledgees or secured parties. Such a pledge or transfer would not be subject to approval or consent of the Company and no legal opinion of legal counsel to the pledgee, secured party or pledgors shall be required in connection with the pledge, but such legal opinion may be required in connection with a subsequent transfer following default by the Investor transferee of the pledge. No notice shall be required of such pledge. At the appropriate Investor’s expense, the Company will execute and deliver such reasonable documentation as a pledgee or secured party of Shares may reasonably request in connection with a pledge or transfer of the Shares, including the preparation and filing of any required prospectus supplement under Rule 424(b) under the Securities Act or other applicable provision of the Securities Act to appropriately amend the list of selling stockholders thereunder. Any Shares subject to a pledge or security interest as contemplated by this Section 4.1(b) shall continue to bear the legend set forth in this Section 4.1(b) and be subject to the restrictions on transfer set forth in Section 4.1(a).

 

4.2.        Furnishing of Information. As long as any Investor owns the Securities, the Company covenants to timely file (or obtain extensions in respect thereof and file within the applicable grace period) all reports required to be filed by the Company after the date hereof pursuant to the Exchange Act. As long as any Investor owns Securities, if the Company is not required to file reports pursuant to such laws, it will prepare and furnish to the Investors and make publicly available in accordance with Rule 144(c) such information as is required for the Investors to sell the Securities under Rule 144. The Company further covenants that it will take such further action as any holder of Securities may reasonably request, all to the extent required from time to time to enable such Person to sell the Securities without registration under the Securities Act within the limitation of the exemptions provided by Rule 144.

 

4.3.        Integration. The Company shall not, and shall use its best efforts to ensure that no Affiliate of the Company shall, sell, offer for sale or solicit offers to buy or otherwise negotiate in respect of any security (as defined in Section 2 of the Securities Act) that would be integrated with the offer or sale of the Securities in a manner that would require the registration under the Securities Act of the sale of the Securities to the Investors, or that would be integrated with the offer or sale of the Securities for purposes of the rules and regulations of any Trading Market in a manner that would require stockholder approval of the sale of the Securities to the Investors.

 

4.4.        Piggy-back Registrations. Investors shall have the following rights with respect to filing Registration Statements with the Commission for the resale of the Shares:

 

(a)        If at any time when there is not an effective Registration Statement providing for the resale of all of the Shares, the Company shall determine to prepare and file with the Commission a Registration Statement relating to an offering for its own account or the account of others under the Securities Act of any of its equity securities (other than for an underwritten offering or on Form S-4 or Form S-8, each as promulgated under the 1933 Act, or their then equivalents), the Company shall send to Investors written notice of such determination. If within thirty (30) days after receipt of such notice, or within such shorter period of time as may be specified by the Cinoabt in such written notice as may be necessary for the Company to comply with its obligations with respect to the timing of the filing of such Registration Statement, any such Investor shall so request in writing, (which request shall specify the Shares intended to be registered), the Company will use commercially reasonable efforts to cause the registration under the 1933 Act of all Shares which the Company has been so requested to register by the Investors (the “Piggy-Back Registration”).

 

12
 

 

(b)        If, for any reason, the Commission requires that the number of Shares to be registered for resale pursuant to the Registration Statement in connection with any Registration Statement, be reduced, such reduction (the “Cut Back Shares”) shall be allocated pro rata among the holders whose shares have been included in such Registration Statement until the reduction required by the Commission is effected

 

(c)        All expenses incurred by the Company in complying with Section 4.4, including, without limitation, all registration and filing fees, printing expenses (if required), fees and disbursements of counsel and independent public accountants for the Company, fees and expenses (including reasonable counsel fees) incurred in connection with complying with state securities or “blue sky” laws, fees of the FINRA, transfer taxes, and fees of transfer agents and registrars, are called “Registration Expenses.” The Company will pay all Registration Expenses in connection with any registration statement described under this Section 4.4.

 

4.5.        Indemnification of Investors. In addition to the indemnity provided in the Registration Rights Agreement, the Company Entities will jointly and severally, indemnify and hold the Investors and their directors, officers, shareholders, members, partners, employees and agents (each, an “Investor Party”) harmless from any and all losses, liabilities, obligations, claims, contingencies, damages, costs, disbursements and expenses, including all judgments, arbitral awards, amounts paid in settlements, court costs and reasonable attorneys’ fees and costs of investigation (collectively, “Losses”) that any such Investor Party may suffer or incur as a result of or relating to any misrepresentation, breach or inaccuracy of any representation, warranty, covenant or agreement made by any Company Entities in any Transaction Document. In addition to the indemnity contained herein, the Company Entities will jointly and severally, reimburse each Investor Party for its reasonable legal and other expenses (including the cost of any investigation, preparation and travel in connection therewith) incurred in connection therewith, as such expenses are incurred.

 

4.6.        Non-Public Information. The Company covenants and agrees that neither it, any Company Entity nor any other Person acting on its or their behalf will provide any Investor or its agents or counsel with any information that the Company believes constitutes material non-public information, unless prior thereto such Investor shall have executed a written agreement regarding the confidentiality and use of such information. The Company understands and confirms that each Investor shall be relying on the foregoing representations in effecting transactions in securities of the Company.

 

4.7.        Listing of Securities. The Company agrees (i) if the Company applies to have the Common Stock traded on any other Trading Market, it will include in such application the Securities, and will take such other action as is necessary or desirable to cause the Securities to be listed on such other Trading Market as promptly as possible, and (ii) the Company will take all action reasonably necessary to continue the listing and trading of its Common Stock on a Trading Market and will comply in all material respects with the Company’s reporting, filing and other obligations under the bylaws or rules of the Trading Market.

 

13
 

 

4.8.        Use of Proceeds. The Company will use the net proceeds from the sale of the Shares hereunder for working capital purposes and not for the satisfaction of any portion of the Company’s debt (other than payment of trade payables and accrued expenses in the ordinary course of the Company’s business), or to redeem any Common Stock or Common Stock Equivalents.

 

4.9.        Further Assurances. The Company will, and will cause all of the Company Entities and their management to, use their best efforts to satisfy all of the closing conditions under Section 5.1, and will not take any action which could frustrate or delay the satisfaction of such conditions. In addition, either prior to or following the Closing, each Existing Company Entity signatory hereto will, and will cause each other Company Entity and its management to, perform, or cause to be done and performed, all such further acts and things, and shall execute and deliver all such other agreements, certificates, instruments and documents, as any other party may reasonably request in order to carry out the intent and accomplish the purposes of this Agreement and the consummation of the transactions contemplated hereby.

(b)        by an Investor (as to itself but no other Investor) upon written notice to the Company, if the Closing shall not have taken place by 6:30 p.m. Eastern time on the Closing Date; provided, that the right to terminate this Agreement under this Section 6.4(b) shall not be available to any Person whose failure to comply with its obligations under this Agreement has been the cause of or resulted in the failure of the Closing to occur on or before such time.

6.5.        Construction. The headings herein are for convenience only, do not constitute a part of this Agreement and shall not be deemed to limit or affect any of the provisions hereof. The language used in this Agreement will be deemed to be the language chosen by the parties to express their mutual intent, and no rules of strict construction will be applied against any party.

6.8.        Governing Law. All questions concerning the construction, validity, enforcement and interpretation of this Agreement shall be governed by and construed and enforced in accordance with the internal laws of the State of New York, without regard to the principles of conflicts of law thereof.

Each party hereto hereby irrevocably submits to the exclusive jurisdiction of the New York Courts for the adjudication of any dispute hereunder or in connection herewith or with any transaction contemplated hereby or discussed herein (including with respect to the enforcement of the any of the Transaction Documents), and hereby irrevocably waives, and agrees not to assert in any Proceeding, any claim that it is not personally subject to the jurisdiction of any such New York Court, or that such Proceeding has been commenced in an improper or inconvenient forum. Each party hereto hereby irrevocably waives personal service of process and consents to process being served in any such Proceeding by mailing a copy thereof via registered or certified mail or overnight delivery (with evidence of delivery) to such party 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 manner permitted by law. Each party hereto hereby irrevocably waives, to the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, any and all right to trial by jury in any legal proceeding arising out of or relating to this Agreement or the transactions contemplated hereby. If either party shall commence a Proceeding to enforce any provisions of a Transaction Document, then the prevailing party in such Proceeding shall be reimbursed by the other party for its reasonable attorneys’ fees and other costs and expenses incurred with the investigation, preparation and prosecution of such Proceeding.

 

6.9.        Survival. The representations, warranties, agreements and covenants contained herein shall survive the Closing and the delivery of the Shares.

 

6.10.        Execution. This Agreement may be executed in two or more counterparts, all of which when taken together shall be considered one and the same agreement and shall become effective when counterparts have been signed by each party and delivered to the other party, it being understood that both parties need not sign the same counterpart. In the event that any signature is delivered by facsimile transmission, such signature shall create a valid and binding obligation of the party executing (or on whose behalf such signature is executed) with the same force and effect as if such facsimile signature page were an original thereof.

 

6.11.        Severability. If any provision of this Agreement is held to be invalid or unenforceable in any respect, the validity and enforceability of the remaining terms and provisions of this Agreement shall not in any way be affected or impaired thereby and the parties will attempt to agree upon a valid and enforceable provision that is a reasonable substitute therefore, and upon so agreeing, shall incorporate such substitute provision in this Agreement.

 

6.12.        Rescission and Withdrawal Right. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in (and without limiting any similar provisions of) the Transaction Documents, whenever any Investor exercises a right, election, demand or option under a Transaction Document and the Company does not timely perform its related obligations within the periods therein provided, then such Investor may rescind or withdraw, in its sole discretion from time to time upon written notice to the Company, any relevant notice, demand or election in whole or in part without prejudice to its future actions and rights.

 

18
 

 

6.13.        Replacement of Securities. If any certificate or instrument evidencing any Securities is mutilated, lost, stolen or destroyed, the Company shall issue or cause to be issued in exchange and substitution for and upon cancellation thereof, or in lieu of and substitution therefore, a new certificate or instrument, but only upon receipt of evidence reasonably satisfactory to the Company of such loss, theft or destruction and customary and reasonable indemnity, if requested. The applicants for a new certificate or instrument under such circumstances shall also pay any reasonable third-party costs associated with the issuance of such replacement Securities. If a replacement certificate or instrument evidencing any Securities is requested due to a mutilation thereof, the Company may require delivery of such mutilated certificate or instrument as a condition precedent to any issuance of a replacement.

 

6.14.        Remedies. In addition to being entitled to exercise all rights provided herein or granted by law, including recovery of damages, each of the Investors and the Company will be entitled to specific performance under the Transaction Documents. The parties agree that monetary damages may not be adequate compensation for any loss incurred by reason of any breach of obligations described in the foregoing sentence and hereby agrees to waive in any action for specific performance of any such obligation the defense that a remedy at law would be adequate.

 

6.15.        Payment Set Aside. To the extent that the Company makes a payment or payments to any Investor pursuant to any Transaction Document or an Investor enforces or exercises its rights there sunder, and such payment or payments or the proceeds of such enforcement or exercise or any part thereof are subsequently invalidated, declared to be fraudulent or preferential, set aside, recovered from, disgorged by or are required to be refunded, repaid or otherwise restored to the Company, a trustee, receiver or any other person under any law (including, without limitation, any bankruptcy law, state or federal law, common law or equitable cause of action), then to the extent of any such restoration the obligation or part thereof originally intended to be satisfied shall be revived and continued in full force and effect as if such payment had not been made or such enforcement or setoff had not occurred.

 

6.16.        Independent Nature of Investors’ Obligations and Rights. The obligations of each Investor under any Transaction Document are several and not joint with the obligations of any other Investor, and no Investor shall be responsible in any way for the performance of the obligations of any other Investor under any Transaction Document. The decision of each Investor to purchase Shares pursuant to the Transaction Documents has been made by such Investor independently of any other Investor. Nothing contained herein or in any Transaction Document, and no action taken by any Investor pursuant thereto, shall be deemed to constitute the Investors as a partnership, an association, a joint venture or any other kind of entity, or create a presumption that the Investors are in any way acting in concert or as a group with respect to such obligations or the transactions contemplated by the Transaction Documents. Each Investor acknowledges that no other Investor has acted as agent for such Investor in connection with making its investment hereunder and that no Investor will be acting as agent of such Investor in connection with monitoring its investment in the Shares or enforcing its rights under the Transaction Documents. Each Investor shall be entitled to independently protect and enforce its rights, including without limitation the rights arising out of this Agreement or out of the other Transaction Documents, and it shall not be necessary for any other Investor to be joined as an additional party in any proceeding for such purpose. The Company acknowledges that each of the Investors has been provided with the same Transaction Documents for the purpose of closing a transaction with multiple Investors and not because it was required or requested to do so by any Investor.

 

19
 

 

6.17.        Limitation of Liability. Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, the Company acknowledges and agrees that the liability of an Investor arising directly or indirectly, under any Transaction Document of any and every nature whatsoever shall be satisfied solely out of the assets of such Investor, and that no trustee, officer, other investment vehicle or any other Affiliate of such Investor or any investor, shareholder or holder of shares of beneficial interest of such a Investor shall be personally liable for any liabilities of such Investor.

25
 

 

4.        Exculpation and Indemnification of Escrow Agent

 

4.1        The Escrow Agent shall have no duties or responsibilities other than those expressly set forth herein. The Escrow Agent shall have no duty to enforce any obligation of any person to make any payment or delivery, or to direct or cause any payment or delivery to be made, or to enforce any obligation of any person to perform any other act. The Escrow Agent shall be under no liability to the other parties hereto or anyone else, by reason of any failure, on the part of any party hereto or any maker, guarantor, endorser or other signatory of a document or any other person, to perform such person’s obligations under any such document. Except for written instructions given to the Escrow Agent by the Escrowing Parties relating to the Escrow Funds, the Escrow Agent shall not be obligated to recognize any other agreement between or among the Purchaser and the Company, notwithstanding that references hereto may be made herein and whether or not it has knowledge thereof.

 

4.2        The Escrow Agent shall not be liable to anyone for any action taken or omitted by it, or any action suffered by it to be taken or omitted, in good faith and acting upon any order, notice, demand, certificate, opinion or advice of counsel (including counsel chosen by the Escrow Agent), statement, instrument, report, or other paper or document or any written instructions from the Escrowing Parties (not only as to its due execution and the validity and effectiveness of its provisions, but also as to the truth and acceptability of any information therein contained), which is believed by the Escrow Agent to be genuine and to be signed or presented by the proper person or persons. The Escrow Agent shall not be bound by any of the terms thereof, unless evidenced by written notice delivered to the Escrow Agent signed by the proper party or parties and, if the duties or rights of the Escrow Agent are affected, unless it shall give its prior written consent thereto.

 

4.3        The Escrow Agent shall not be responsible for the sufficiency or accuracy of the form, or of the execution, validity, value or genuineness of, any document or property received, held or delivered to it hereunder, or of any signature or endorsement thereon, or for any lack of endorsement thereon, or for any description therein; nor shall the Escrow Agent be responsible or liable to the Escrowing Parties or to anyone else in any respect on account of the identity, authority or rights, of the person executing or delivering or purporting to execute or deliver any document or property or this Escrow Agreement. The Escrow Agent shall have no responsibility with respect to the use or application of the Escrow Funds pursuant to the provisions hereof.

 

4.4        The Escrow Agent shall have the right to assume, in the absence of written notice to the contrary from the proper person or persons, that a fact or an event, by reason of which an action would or might be taken by the Escrow Agent, does not exist or has not occurred, without incurring liability to the Escrowing Parties or to anyone else for any action taken or omitted to be taken or omitted, in good faith and in the exercise of its own best judgment, in reliance upon such assumption.

 

26
 

 

4.5        To the extent that the Escrow Agent becomes liable for the payment of taxes, including withholding taxes, in respect of income derived from the investment of the Escrow Funds, or any payment made hereunder, the Escrow Agent may pay such taxes; and the Escrow Agent may withhold from any payment of the Escrow Funds such amount as the Escrow Agent estimates to be sufficient to provide for the payment of such taxes not yet paid, and may use the sum withheld for that purpose. The Escrow Agent shall be indemnified and held harmless against any liability for taxes and for any penalties in respect of taxes, on such investment income or payments in the manner provided in Section 4.6 herein.

 

4.6        The Escrow Agent will be indemnified and held harmless the Escrowing Parties, from and against all expenses, as incurred, including all counsel fees and disbursements, or loss suffered by the Escrow Agent in connection with any action, suit or proceedings involving any claim, or in connection with any claim or demand, which in any way, directly or indirectly, arises out of or relates to this Escrow Agreement, the services of the Escrow Agent hereunder or the monies or other property held by it hereunder. Promptly after the receipt of the Escrow Agent of notice of any demand or claim or the commencement of any action, suit or proceeding, the Escrow Agent shall, if a claim in respect thereof is to be made against the Escrowing Parties, notify it thereof in writing, but the failure by the Escrow Agent to give such notice shall not relieve any such party from any liability which the Escrowing Parties may have to the Escrow Agent hereunder.

 

4.7        In the event that the Escrow Agent shall be uncertain as to its duties or rights hereunder or shall receive instructions, claims or demands which, in its opinion, are in conflict with any of the provisions of this Agreement, it shall be entitled to refrain from taking any action, other than to keep safe the purchase information and purchase payments received, until the questions regarding its duties and rights are clarified to its satisfaction or it shall be directed otherwise by a final judgment of a court of competent jurisdiction.

 

4.8        No provision of this Agreement shall require the Escrow Agent to risk or advance its own funds or otherwise incur any financial liability or potential financial liability in the performance of its duties or the exercise of its rights under this Agreement.

 

4.9        Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement, the Escrow Agent shall not be obligated to perform any obligation hereunder and shall not incur any liability for the nonperformance or breach of any obligation hereunder to the extent that the Escrow Agent is delayed in performing, unable to perform or breaches such obligation because of acts of God, war, terrorism, fire, floods, strikes, electrical outages, equipment or transmission failures, or other causes reasonably beyond its control.

 

4.10        IN NO EVENT SHALL THE ESCROW AGENT BE LIABLE, DIRECTLY OR INDIRECTLY, FOR ANY SPECIAL, INDIRECT OR CONSEQUENTIAL LOSSES OR DAMAGES OF ANY KIND WHATSOEVER (INCLUDING, BUT NOT LIMITED TO, LOST PROFITS), EVEN IF THE ESCROW AGENT HAS BEEN ADVISED OF THE POSSIBILITY OF SUCH LOSSES OR DAMAGES AND REGARDLESS OF THE FORM OF ACTION.

 

4.11        For purposes hereof, the term “expense or loss” shall include all amounts paid or payable to satisfy any claim, demand or liability, or in settlement of any claim, demand, action, suit or proceeding settled with the express written consent of the Escrow Agent, and all costs and expenses, including, but not limited to, reasonable counsel fees and disbursements, whether or not the Escrow Agent uses outside counsel or its own attorneys, paid or incurred in investigating or defending against any such claim, demand, action, suit or proceeding.

 

27
 

 

5.        Termination of Agreement and Resignation of Escrow Agent

 

5.1        This Escrow Agreement shall terminate upon disbursement of all of the Escrow Funds, provided that the rights of the Escrow Agent shall survive the termination hereof.

 

5.2        The Escrow Agent may resign at any time and be discharged from its duties as Escrow Agent hereunder by giving the Escrowing Parties at least five (5) Business Days written notice thereof (the “Notice Period”). As soon as practicable after its resignation, the Escrow Agent shall, if it receives notice from the Escrowing Parties within the Notice Period, turn over to a successor escrow agent appointed by the Escrowing Parties all Escrow Funds upon presentation of the document appointing the new escrow agent and its acceptance thereof.

Ladies and Gentlemen:

 

The undersigned is a beneficial owner of shares of capital stock, or securities convertible into or exercisable or exchangeable for the capital stock (each, a “Company Security”) of First Independence Corp., a Florida corporation (the “Company”). This Letter Agreement is entered into between the undersigned and the Company in connection with the undersigned’s acquisition of Company Securities from certain shareholders of the Company (the “Shares Purchase”).

 

1.       The undersigned, and for other good and valuable consideration, the receipt and sufficiency of which are hereby acknowledged, the undersigned agrees that during the period beginning on the closing of the undersigned’s Share Purchase (the “Closing Date”) and ending twelve (12) months after such date (the “Lockup Period”), the undersigned will not, subject to the Leak Out Provision as provided in Section 2 below, without the prior written consent of the Company, directly or indirectly, (i) offer, sell, offer to sell, contract to sell, hedge, pledge, sell any option or contract to purchase, purchase any option or contract to sell, grant any option, right or warrant to purchase or sell (or announce any offer, sale, offer of sale, contract of sale, hedge, pledge, sale of any option or contract to purchase, purchase of any option or contract of sale, grant of any option, right or warrant to purchase or other sale or disposition), or otherwise transfer or dispose of (or enter into any transaction or device that is designed to, or could be expected to, result in the disposition by any person at any time in the future), any securities of the Company (each, a “Company Security”), beneficially owned, within the meaning of Rule 13d-3 under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”), by the undersigned on the date hereof or hereafter acquired or (ii) enter into any swap or other agreement or any transaction that transfers, in whole or in part, directly or indirectly, the economic consequence of ownership of any Company Security, whether any such swap or transaction described in clause (i) or (ii) above is to be settled by delivery of any Company Security (each of the foregoing, a “Prohibited Sale”).This Letter Agreement shall apply to all Company Security issued to the undersigned.

 

2.       Leak Out Provision. The Company and the undersigned agree that during the Lockup Period, the undersigned may conduct a Prohibited Sale of the Company Securities beneficially owned by the undersigned in accordance with the following: beginning on the second month anniversary from the Closing Date and prior to the expiration of the Lockup Period, the undersigned is permitted to sell or transfer a number of the Company Securities no more than 5% of the total trading volume of the Company’s Shares as reported by Bloomberg, L.P. during the one calendar week period immediately preceding the date of such sale by the undersigned.

 

3.       The undersigned hereby authorizes the Company during the Lockup Period to cause any transfer agent for the Company Securities to decline to transfer, and to note stop transfer restrictions on the stock register and other records relating to, the Company Securities for which the undersigned is the record holder and, in the case of Company Securities for which the undersigned is the beneficial but not the record holder, agrees during the Lockup Period to cause the record holder to cause the relevant transfer agent to decline to transfer, and to note stop transfer restrictions on the stock register and other records relating to, such Company Securities.

 

4.       Notwithstanding the foregoing, the undersigned (and any transferee of the undersigned) may transfer any shares of a Company Security: (i) as a bona fide gift or gifts, provided that prior to such transfer the donee or donees thereof agree in writing to be bound by the restrictions set forth herein, (ii) to any trust, partnership, corporation or other entity formed for the direct or indirect benefit of the undersigned or the immediate family of the undersigned, provided that prior to such transfer a duly authorized officer, representative or trustee of such transferee agrees in writing to be bound by the restrictions set forth herein, and provided further that any such transfer shall not involve a disposition for value, (iii) to non-profit organizations qualified as charitable organizations under Section 501(c)(3) of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended, or (iv) if such transfer occurs by operation of law, such as rules of descent and distribution, statutes governing the effects of a merger or a qualified domestic order, provided that prior to such transfer the transferee executes an agreement stating that the transferee is receiving and holding any Company Security subject to the provisions of this agreement. For purposes hereof, “immediate family” shall mean any relationship by blood, marriage or adoption, not more remote than first cousin. In addition, the foregoing shall not prohibit privately negotiated transactions, provided the transferees agree, in writing, to be bound to the terms of the lock-up agreements for the balance of the Lockup Period.

5.       Opinion of Counsel. Any Company Security of the undersigned shall contain a restrictive “lock-up” legend governed by the terms of this Letter Agreement. The Company’s transfer agent shall only accept an opinion of counsel to remove such legend from counsel acceptable to the Company.

 

6.       This Letter Agreement shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of the New York.

 

7.       This Letter Agreement will become a binding agreement among the undersigned as of the date hereof. In the event that no closing of the Share Exchange Transaction occurs, this Letter Agreement shall be null and void. This Letter Agreement (and the agreements reflected herein) may be terminated by the mutual agreement of the Company and the undersigned, and if not sooner terminated, will terminate upon the expiration date of the Lockup Period. This Letter Agreement may be duly executed by facsimile and in any number of counterparts, each of which shall be deemed an original, and all of which together shall be deemed to constitute one and the same instrument. Signature pages from separate identical counterparts may be combined with the same effect as if the parties signing such signature page had signed the same counterpart.

(c) For purposes of this Agreement, the term “Good Reason” shall mean that the Executive has resigned due to (i) any material diminution in Executive’s authority, duties or responsibilities (unless the Executive has agreed to such diminution); (ii) a material change in the chain of reporting referenced in Section 2 (unless the Executive has agreed to such change); (iii) any material diminution in the Executive’s Base Salary (unless the Executive has agreed to such diminution); (iv) any material change in the geographic location at which the Executive must perform services to a location without the Executive’s prior written consent; (or (v) any material violation by the Corporation of its obligations under this Agreement. Prior to the Executive terminating his employment with the Corporation for Good Reason, the Executive must provide written notice to the Corporation, within 90 days following the initial existence of such condition, that such Good Reason exists and setting forth in detail the grounds the Executive believes constitutes Good Reason. If the Corporation does not cure the conditions constituting Good Reason within sixty (60) days after receipt of written notice thereof from the Executive, then Executive’s employment shall be deemed terminated for Good Reason.

 

(d) For purposes of this Agreement, the term “Cause” shall mean any material breach of this Agreement on the part of the Executive in connection with his employment duties hereunder, in all cases that is not cured within fourteen (14) days after receipt of notice thereof (to the extent such breach is capable of being cured), or the Executive’s conviction of or entering of a guilty plea or a plea of no contest with respect to a felony or any crime involving fraud, larceny or embezzlement resulting in material harm to the Corporation by the Executive.

8. Covenant Not To Disclose, Compete or Solicit. Upon execution of this Employment Agreement, the Executive and the Corporation shall enter into that certain Non-Disclosure, Non-Competition and Non-Solicitation Agreement attached hereto in the form of Exhibit A.

 

9. Miscellaneous.

 

(a) The Executive acknowledges that the services to be rendered by him under the provisions of this Agreement are of a special, unique and extraordinary character and that it would be difficult or impossible to replace such services. Accordingly, the Executive agrees that any breach or threatened breach by him of Sections 8 or 9 of this Agreement shall entitle the Corporation, in addition to all other legal remedies available to it, to apply to any court of competent jurisdiction to seek to enjoin such breach or threatened breach. The parties understand and intend that each restriction agreed to by the Executive hereinabove shall be construed as separable and divisible from every other restriction, that the unenforceability of any restriction shall not limit the enforceability, in whole or in part, of any other restriction, and that one or more or all of such restrictions may be enforced in whole or in part as the circumstances warrant. In the event that any restriction in this Agreement is more restrictive than permitted by law in the jurisdiction in which the Corporation seeks enforcement thereof, such restriction shall be limited to the extent permitted by law. The remedy of injunctive relief herein set forth shall be in addition to, and not in lieu of, any other rights or remedies that the Corporation may have at law or in equity.

 

(b) Neither the Executive nor the Corporation may assign or delegate any of their rights or duties under this Agreement without the express written consent of the other; provided however that the Corporation shall have the right to delegate its obligation of payment of all sums due to the Executive hereunder, provided that such delegation shall not relieve the Corporation of any of its obligations hereunder.

 

(c) This Agreement constitutes and embodies the full and complete understanding and agreement of the parties with respect to the Executive’s employment by the Corporation, supersedes all prior understandings and agreements, whether oral or written, between the Executive and the Corporation, and shall not be amended, modified or changed except by an instrument in writing executed by the party to be charged. The invalidity or partial invalidity of one or more provisions of this Agreement shall not invalidate any other provision of this Agreement. No waiver by either party of any provision or condition to be performed shall be deemed a waiver of similar or dissimilar provisions or conditions at the same time or any prior or subsequent time.

 

5
 

  

(d) This Agreement shall inure to the benefit of, be binding upon and enforceable against, the parties hereto and their respective successors, heirs, beneficiaries and permitted assigns.

 

(e) The headings contained in this Agreement are for convenience of reference only and shall not affect in any way the meaning or interpretation of this Agreement.

 

(f) All notices, requests, demands and other communications required or permitted to be given hereunder shall be in writing and shall be deemed to have been duly given when personally delivered, sent by registered or certified mail, return receipt requested, postage prepaid, or by private overnight mail service (e.g. Federal Express) to the party at the address set forth above or to such other address as either party may hereafter give notice of in accordance with the provisions hereof. Notices shall be deemed given on the sooner of the date actually received or the third business day after sending.

 

(g) This Agreement shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the internal laws of the State of New York without reference to principles of conflicts of laws and each of the parties hereto irrevocably consents to the jurisdiction and venue of the federal and state courts located in the State of New York.

 

(h) This Agreement may be executed simultaneously in two or more counterparts, each of which shall be deemed an original, but all of which together shall constitute one of the same instrument. The parties hereto have executed this Agreement as of the date set forth above.

 

10. Change of Control. Upon a Change of Control (as hereinafter defined), the Executive shall receive all monies and compensation due for the term of this contract. This contract will be enforceable but the duties and responsibilities may change for the executive subject to mutual agreement between the Executive and the new ownership or the executive may exercise his termination clause and be entitled to all compensation as stated above. The Executive (or his estate) shall receive all payments provided herein at such times as he would have received them if there was no Change of Control.

 

For purposes of this Agreement “Change of Control” means the occurrence of any of the following events:

 

(a) Any “person” (as such term is used in Sections 13(d) and 14(d) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (the “Exchange Act”) becomes the “beneficial owner” (as defined in Rule 13d-3 under the Exchange Act), directly or indirectly, of securities of the Corporation representing 50% or more of the total voting power of the Corporation’s then outstanding voting securities or 50% or more of the fair market value of the Corporation;

 

Or

 

(c) The Corporation has sold all or substantially all of its assets to another person or entity that is not a majority-owned subsidiary of the Corporation.

 

6
 

  

Notwithstanding the preceding, the above-listed events must satisfy the requirements of Treasury Regulation Section 1.409A-3(i)(5) in order to be deemed a Change of Control.

 

11. Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002.

 

(a) In the event the Executive or the Corporation is the subject of an investigation (whether criminal, civil, or administrative) involving possible violations of the United States federal securities laws by the Executive, the Compensation Committee or the Board may, in its sole discretion, direct the Corporation to withhold any and all payments to the Executive (whether compensation or otherwise) which would have otherwise been made pursuant to this Agreement or otherwise would have been paid or payable by the Corporation, which the Compensation Committee or the Board believes, in its sole discretion, may or could be considered an “extraordinary payment” and therefore at risk and potentially subject to, the provisions of Section 1103 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002 (“SOX”) (including, but not limited to, any severance payments made to the Executive upon termination of employment). The withholding of any payment shall be until such time as the investigation is concluded, without charges having been brought or until the successful conclusion of any legal proceedings brought in connection with such amounts as directed by the Compensation Committee or the Board to be withheld with or without the accruing of interest (and if with interest the rate thereof). Except by an admission of wrongdoing or the final adjudication by a court or administrative agency finding the Executive liable for or guilty of violating any of the federal securities laws, rules or regulations, the Compensation Committee or the Board shall pay to the Executive such compensation or other payments. Notwithstanding the exclusion caused by the first clause of the prior sentence, the Executive shall receive such payments if provided for by a court or other administrative order.

 

(b) In the event that the Corporation restates any financial statements which have been contained in reports or registration statements filed with the SEC, and the restatement of the prior financial statements is as the result of material noncompliance with any financial reporting requirement under the securities laws, the Executive hereby acknowledges that the Corporation shall recover from the Executive (i) incentive based compensation (including stock options) awarded during the three year period preceding the date on which the Corporation is required to prepare the restatement (ii) in excess of what would have been paid the Executive under the restatement. Any rules passed by the Securities and Exchange Commission under Section 10D of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (added by Section 954 of the Dodd-Frank Wall Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act) shall be incorporated in this Agreement to the extent applicable. The Executive agrees to reimburse the Corporation for any bonuses received and/or profits realized from the sale of the Corporation’s securities (including the cash received from exercise of any options (or other awards of stock rights) during the 12-month period following the first public issuance or filing with the SEC of the report or registration statement (whichever comes first) containing the financial information required to be restated. Provided, however, this Section shall not impose any liability on the Executive beyond any liability that is imposed under Section 304 of SOX.

 

7
 

  

(c) Notwithstanding the last sentence of Section 10(b), if the Corporation’s common stock is listed on a national securities exchange and such exchange adopts rules requiring clawbacks beyond what Section 304 of SOX requires, such rules shall be incorporated in this Agreement to the extent applicable and the Executive shall comply with such rules, including but not limited to executing any amendment to this Agreement.

 

12. Section 409A.

 

(a) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Agreement, if at the time of the Executive’s separation from service within the meaning of Section 409A of the Code, the Corporation determines that the Executive is a “specified employee” within the meaning of Section 409A(a)(2)(B)(i) of the Code, then to the extent any payment or benefit that the Executive becomes entitled to under this Agreement on account of the Executive’s separation from service would be considered deferred compensation subject to the 20% additional tax imposed pursuant to Section 409A(a) of the Code as a result of the application of Section 409A(a)(2)(B)(i) of the Code, such payment shall not be payable and such benefit shall not be provided until the date that is the earlier of (i) six months and one day after the Executive’s separation from service, or (ii) the Executive’s death (the “Six Month Delay Rule”).

 

(b) For purposes of this Section 12, amounts payable under the Agreement should not be considered a deferral of compensation subject to Section 409A to the extent provided in Treasury Regulation Section 1.409A-1(b)(4) (i.e., short-term deferrals), Treasury Regulation Section 1.409A-1(b)(9) (i.e., separation pay plans, including the exception under subparagraph (iii)), and other applicable provisions of Treasury Regulations Sections 1.409A-1 through A-6.

 

(c) To the extent that the Six Month Delay Rule applies to payments otherwise payable on an installment basis, the first payment shall include a catch-up payment covering amounts that would otherwise have been paid during the six-month period but for the application of the Six Month Delay Rule, and the balance of the installments shall be payable in accordance with their original schedule.

 

(d) To the extent that the Six Month Delay Rule applies to the provision of benefits (including, but not limited to, life insurance and medical insurance), such benefit coverage shall nonetheless be provided to the Executive during the first six months following his separation from service (the “Six Month Period”), provided that, during such Six-Month Period, the Executive pays to the Corporation, on a monthly basis in advance, an amount equal to the Monthly Cost (as defined below) of such benefit coverage. The Corporation shall reimburse the Executive for any such payments made by the Executive in a lump sum not later than 30 days following the sixth month anniversary of the Executive’s separation from service. For purposes of this subparagraph, “Monthly Cost” means the minimum dollar amount which, if paid by the Executive on a monthly basis in advance, results in the Executive not being required to recognize any federal income tax on receipt of the benefit coverage during the Six Month Period.

 

8
 

  

(e) The parties intend that this Agreement will be administered in accordance with Section 409A of the Code. To the extent that any provision of this Agreement is ambiguous as to its compliance with Section 409A of the Code, the provision shall be read in such a manner so that all payments hereunder comply with Section 409A of the Code. The parties agree that this Agreement may be amended, as reasonably requested by either party, and as may be necessary to fully comply with Section 409A of the Code and all related rules and regulations in order to preserve the payments and benefits provided hereunder without additional cost to either party.

 

(f) The Corporation makes no representation or warranty and shall have no liability to the Executive or any other person if any provisions of this Agreement are determined to constitute deferred compensation subject to Section 409A of the Code but do not satisfy an exemption from, or the conditions of, such Section.

2. Non-disclosure of Confidential Information. The Employee agrees that, during the term of his or her employment with the Company and thereafter, he or she will not disclose the Confidential Information or use it in any way, except on behalf of the Company, whether or not such Confidential Information is produced by the Employee’s own efforts.

Any invention, discovery, development, improvement, procedure, writing, work or trade secret (collectively referred to herein as “Inventions”) that relates to any phase of the business of the Company, or results from any work performed on the premises of the Company or by use of the facilities, equipment or services of other employees of the Company, whether patentable, copyrightable or not, and that is made or discovered by the Employee individually or jointly with any other person or persons during the term of the Employee’s employment with the Company (including any period of time prior to the date of this Agreement), shall forthwith be disclosed to the Company and shall be the sole property of the Company. Any such Invention shall be considered a work made for hire. The Employee hereby assigns to the Company all of his or her right, title and interest to any such Invention.

5. Power of Attorney.

9. Compliance with Other Agreements. The Employee represents and warrants to the Company that the execution of this Agreement by him, his or her performance of his or her obligations hereunder, and his or her employment by the Company will not, with or without the giving of notice or the passage of time, conflict with, result in the breach or termination of, or constitute default under, any agreement to which the Employee is a party or by which the Employee is or may be bound.

 

10. Waivers. The waiver by the Company or the Employee of any action, right or condition in this Agreement, or of any breach of a provision of this Agreement, shall not constitute a waiver of any other occurrences of the same event. Further, any subsequent change or changes in Employee’s duties, salary, compensation, or employment status will not affect the validity or enforceability of this Agreement.

(b) For purposes of this Agreement, the Executive shall be deemed to be suffering from a “Total Disability” if the Executive is (i) unable to engage in any substantial gainful activity by reason of any medically determinable physical or mental impairment that can be expected to result in death, or last for a continuous period of not less than 12 months; (ii) by reason of any medically determinable physical or mental impairment that can be expected to result in death, or last for continuous period of not less than 12 months, receiving income replacement benefits for a period of not less than three months under an accident and health plan covering employees of the Company; or (iii) determined to be totally disabled by the Social Security Administration. Any question as to the existence of a disability shall be determined by the written opinion of the Executive’s regularly attending physician (or his guardian) (or the Social Security Administration, where applicable).

 

(c) For purposes of this Agreement, the term “Good Reason” shall mean that the Executive has resigned due to (i) any material diminution in Executive’s authority, duties or responsibilities (unless the Executive has agreed to such diminution); (ii) a material change in the chain of reporting referenced in Section 2 (unless the Executive has agreed to such change); (iii) any material diminution in the Executive’s Base Salary (unless the Executive has agreed to such diminution); (iv) any material change in the geographic location at which the Executive must perform services to a location without the Executive’s prior written consent; (or (v) any material violation by the Corporation of its obligations under this Agreement.

6. Effects of Termination.

 

(a) Upon termination of the Executive’s employment pursuant to Section 5(a)(i) or (ii), in addition to the accrued but unpaid compensation and vacation pay through the date of death or Total Disability and any other benefits accrued to him under any Benefit Plans outstanding at such time and the reimbursement of documented, unreimbursed expenses incurred prior to such date, the Executive or his estate or beneficiaries, as applicable, shall be entitled to the following severance benefits: (i) (12) months’ Base Salary at the then current rate, to be paid in equal semi-monthly or bi-weekly installments, less withholding of all applicable taxes, at such times he would have received them if there was no termination; (ii) continued provision for a period of twelve (12) months following the Executive’s death of benefits under Benefit Plans extended from time to time by the Corporation to its senior executives; and (iii) payment on a pro-rated basis of any bonus or other payments earned in connection with any bonus plan to which the Executive was a participant as of the date of death or Total Disability.

In the event the Corporation tenders a Non-Renewal Notice to the Executive, then the Executive shall be entitled to the same severance benefits as if the Executive’s employment were terminated pursuant to all items in Section 5 above except for section 5d, if such Non-Renewal Notice was triggered due to the Corporation’s statement that the Executive’s employment was terminated due to Section 5(d) (for “Cause”), then payment of severance benefits will determined by the board of directors.

 

(c) Upon termination of the Executive’s employment pursuant to Section 5(a)(v) or other than pursuant to Section 5(a)(i), 5(a)(ii), 5(a)(iii), 5(a)(iv), or 5(a)(vi) (i.e., without “Cause”), in addition to the accrued but unpaid compensation and vacation pay through the date of termination and any other benefits accrued to him under any Benefit Plans outstanding at such time and the reimbursement of documented, unreimbursed expenses incurred prior to such date, the Executive shall be entitled to the following severance benefits: (i) (12) months’ Base Salary at the then current rate, to be paid in equal semi-monthly or bi-weekly installments, less withholding of all applicable taxes, at such times he would have received them if there was no termination; (ii) continued provision for a period of twelve (12) months after the date of termination of the benefits under Benefit Plans extended from time to time by the Corporation to its senior executives; and (iii) payment on a pro-rated basis of any bonus or other payments earned in connection with any bonus plan to which the Executive was a participant as of the date of the Executive’s termination of employment. In addition, any options or restricted stock shall be immediately vested upon termination of Executive’s employment pursuant to Section 5(a)(v) or by the Corporation or without “Cause”.

 

(d) Upon termination of the Executive’s employment pursuant to Section 5(a)(iv) or (vi), in addition to the reimbursement of documented, unreimbursed expenses incurred prior to such date, the Executive shall be entitled to the following severance benefits: accrued and unpaid Base Salary and vacation pay through the date of termination, less withholding of applicable taxes.

8. Covenant Not To Disclose, Compete or Solicit. Upon execution of this Employment Agreement, the Executive and the Corporation shall enter into that certain Non-Disclosure, Non-Competition and Non-Solicitation Agreement attached hereto in the form of Exhibit A.

 

9. Miscellaneous.

 

(a) The Executive acknowledges that the services to be rendered by him under the provisions of this Agreement are of a special, unique and extraordinary character and that it would be difficult or impossible to replace such services. Accordingly, the Executive agrees that any breach or threatened breach by him of Sections 8 or 9 of this Agreement shall entitle the Corporation, in addition to all other legal remedies available to it, to apply to any court of competent jurisdiction to seek to enjoin such breach or threatened breach. The parties understand and intend that each restriction agreed to by the Executive hereinabove shall be construed as separable and divisible from every other restriction, that the unenforceability of any restriction shall not limit the enforceability, in whole or in part, of any other restriction, and that one or more or all of such restrictions may be enforced in whole or in part as the circumstances warrant. In the event that any restriction in this Agreement is more restrictive than permitted by law in the jurisdiction in which the Corporation seeks enforcement thereof, such restriction shall be limited to the extent permitted by law. The remedy of injunctive relief herein set forth shall be in addition to, and not in lieu of, any other rights or remedies that the Corporation may have at law or in equity.

 

(b) Neither the Executive nor the Corporation may assign or delegate any of their rights or duties under this Agreement without the express written consent of the other; provided however that the Corporation shall have the right to delegate its obligation of payment of all sums due to the Executive hereunder, provided that such delegation shall not relieve the Corporation of any of its obligations hereunder.

 

(c) This Agreement constitutes and embodies the full and complete understanding and agreement of the parties with respect to the Executive’s employment by the Corporation, supersedes all prior understandings and agreements, whether oral or written, between the Executive and the Corporation, and shall not be amended, modified or changed except by an instrument in writing executed by the party to be charged. The invalidity or partial invalidity of one or more provisions of this Agreement shall not invalidate any other provision of this Agreement. No waiver by either party of any provision or condition to be performed shall be deemed a waiver of similar or dissimilar provisions or conditions at the same time or any prior or subsequent time.

 

(d) This Agreement shall inure to the benefit of, be binding upon and enforceable against, the parties hereto and their respective successors, heirs, beneficiaries and permitted assigns.

 

5
 

 

(e) The headings contained in this Agreement are for convenience of reference only and shall not affect in any way the meaning or interpretation of this Agreement.

 

(f) All notices, requests, demands and other communications required or permitted to be given hereunder shall be in writing and shall be deemed to have been duly given when personally delivered, sent by registered or certified mail, return receipt requested, postage prepaid, or by private overnight mail service (e.g. Federal Express) to the party at the address set forth above or to such other address as either party may hereafter give notice of in accordance with the provisions hereof. Notices shall be deemed given on the sooner of the date actually received or the third business day after sending.

 

(g) This Agreement shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the internal laws of the State of New York without reference to principles of conflicts of laws and each of the parties hereto irrevocably consents to the jurisdiction and venue of the federal and state courts located in the State of New York.

 

(h) This Agreement may be executed simultaneously in two or more counterparts, each of which shall be deemed an original, but all of which together shall constitute one of the same instrument. The parties hereto have executed this Agreement as of the date set forth above.

 

10. Change of Control. Upon a Change of Control (as hereinafter defined), the Executive shall receive all monies and compensation due for the term of this contract. This contract will be enforceable but the duties and responsibilities may change for the executive subject to mutual agreement between the Executive and the new ownership or the executive may exercise his termination clause and be entitled to all compensation as stated above. The Executive (or his estate) shall receive all payments provided herein at such times as he would have received them if there was no Change of Control.

 

For purposes of this Agreement “Change of Control” means the occurrence of any of the following events:

 

(a) Any “person” (as such term is used in Sections 13(d) and 14(d) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (the “Exchange Act”) becomes the “beneficial owner” (as defined in Rule 13d-3 under the Exchange Act), directly or indirectly, of securities of the Corporation representing 50% or more of the total voting power of the Corporation’s then outstanding voting securities or 50% or more of the fair market value of the Corporation;

 

Or

 

(c) The Corporation has sold all or substantially all of its assets to another person or entity that is not a majority-owned subsidiary of the Corporation.

 

Notwithstanding the preceding, the above-listed events must satisfy the requirements of Treasury Regulation Section 1.409A-3(i)(5) in order to be deemed a Change of Control.

 

6
 

 

11. Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002.

 

(a) In the event the Executive or the Corporation is the subject of an investigation (whether criminal, civil, or administrative) involving possible violations of the United States federal securities laws by the Executive, the Compensation Committee or the Board may, in its sole discretion, direct the Corporation to withhold any and all payments to the Executive (whether compensation or otherwise) which would have otherwise been made pursuant to this Agreement or otherwise would have been paid or payable by the Corporation, which the Compensation Committee or the Board believes, in its sole discretion, may or could be considered an “extraordinary payment” and therefore at risk and potentially subject to, the provisions of Section 1103 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002 (“SOX”) (including, but not limited to, any severance payments made to the Executive upon termination of employment). The withholding of any payment shall be until such time as the investigation is concluded, without charges having been brought or until the successful conclusion of any legal proceedings brought in connection with such amounts as directed by the Compensation Committee or the Board to be withheld with or without the accruing of interest (and if with interest the rate thereof). Except by an admission of wrongdoing or the final adjudication by a court or administrative agency finding the Executive liable for or guilty of violating any of the federal securities laws, rules or regulations, the Compensation Committee or the Board shall pay to the Executive such compensation or other payments. Notwithstanding the exclusion caused by the first clause of the prior sentence, the Executive shall receive such payments if provided for by a court or other administrative order.

 

(b) In the event that the Corporation restates any financial statements which have been contained in reports or registration statements filed with the SEC, and the restatement of the prior financial statements is as the result of material noncompliance with any financial reporting requirement under the securities laws, the Executive hereby acknowledges that the Corporation shall recover from the Executive (i) incentive based compensation (including stock options) awarded during the three year period preceding the date on which the Corporation is required to prepare the restatement (ii) in excess of what would have been paid the Executive under the restatement. Any rules passed by the Securities and Exchange Commission under Section 10D of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (added by Section 954 of the Dodd-Frank Wall Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act) shall be incorporated in this Agreement to the extent applicable. The Executive agrees to reimburse the Corporation for any bonuses received and/or profits realized from the sale of the Corporation’s securities (including the cash received from exercise of any options (or other awards of stock rights) during the 12-month period following the first public issuance or filing with the SEC of the report or registration statement (whichever comes first) containing the financial information required to be restated. Provided, however, this Section shall not impose any liability on the Executive beyond any liability that is imposed under Section 304 of SOX.

 

(c) Notwithstanding the last sentence of Section 10(b), if the Corporation’s common stock is listed on a national securities exchange and such exchange adopts rules requiring clawbacks beyond what Section 304 of SOX requires, such rules shall be incorporated in this Agreement to the extent applicable and the Executive shall comply with such rules, including but not limited to executing any amendment to this Agreement.

 

7
 

 

12. Section 409A.

 

(a) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Agreement, if at the time of the Executive’s separation from service within the meaning of Section 409A of the Code, the Corporation determines that the Executive is a “specified employee” within the meaning of Section 409A(a)(2)(B)(i) of the Code, then to the extent any payment or benefit that the Executive becomes entitled to under this Agreement on account of the Executive’s separation from service would be considered deferred compensation subject to the 20% additional tax imposed pursuant to Section 409A(a) of the Code as a result of the application of Section 409A(a)(2)(B)(i) of the Code, such payment shall not be payable and such benefit shall not be provided until the date that is the earlier of (i) six months and one day after the Executive’s separation from service, or (ii) the Executive’s death (the “Six Month Delay Rule”).

 

(b) For purposes of this Section 12, amounts payable under the Agreement should not be considered a deferral of compensation subject to Section 409A to the extent provided in Treasury Regulation Section 1.409A-1(b)(4) (i.e., short-term deferrals), Treasury Regulation Section 1.409A-1(b)(9) (i.e., separation pay plans, including the exception under subparagraph (iii)), and other applicable provisions of Treasury Regulations Sections 1.409A-1 through A-6.

 

(c) To the extent that the Six Month Delay Rule applies to payments otherwise payable on an installment basis, the first payment shall include a catch-up payment covering amounts that would otherwise have been paid during the six-month period but for the application of the Six Month Delay Rule, and the balance of the installments shall be payable in accordance with their original schedule.

 

(d) To the extent that the Six Month Delay Rule applies to the provision of benefits (including, but not limited to, life insurance and medical insurance), such benefit coverage shall nonetheless be provided to the Executive during the first six months following his separation from service (the “Six Month Period”), provided that, during such Six-Month Period, the Executive pays to the Corporation, on a monthly basis in advance, an amount equal to the Monthly Cost (as defined below) of such benefit coverage. The Corporation shall reimburse the Executive for any such payments made by the Executive in a lump sum not later than 30 days following the sixth month anniversary of the Executive’s separation from service. For purposes of this subparagraph, “Monthly Cost” means the minimum dollar amount which, if paid by the Executive on a monthly basis in advance, results in the Executive not being required to recognize any federal income tax on receipt of the benefit coverage during the Six Month Period.

 

(e) The parties intend that this Agreement will be administered in accordance with Section 409A of the Code. To the extent that any provision of this Agreement is ambiguous as to its compliance with Section 409A of the Code, the provision shall be read in such a manner so that all payments hereunder comply with Section 409A of the Code. The parties agree that this Agreement may be amended, as reasonably requested by either party, and as may be necessary to fully comply with Section 409A of the Code and all related rules and regulations in order to preserve the payments and benefits provided hereunder without additional cost to either party.

 

8
 

 

(f) The Corporation makes no representation or warranty and shall have no liability to the Executive or any other person if any provisions of this Agreement are determined to constitute deferred compensation subject to Section 409A of the Code but do not satisfy an exemption from, or the conditions of, such Section.

FIRST INDEPENDENCE CORP.

NON-DISCLOSURE, NON-COMPETITION AND NON-SOLICITATION AGREEMENT

 

In consideration of employment of the Employee by the Company and payment to the Employee of salary or wages, this Agreement is made between FIRST INDEPENDENCE CORP., a Florida corporation, and Sharon Franey (the “Employee”). For purposes of the Agreement, the term “Company” shall include the subsidiary of the Company, The CODESMART GROUP, Inc. and its affiliates, now or hereafter existing.

 

WHEREAS, to induce the Company to hire the Employee as an employee of the Company, the Employee agrees to the covenants of non-disclosure, non-competition, and non-solicitation, as more particularly described herein.

 

NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the hiring by the Company of the Employee as an employee of the Company, the Employee hereby agrees as follows:

 

1. Confidential Information. The Employee acknowledges that, in order for him to perform his or her duties properly, the Company must necessarily entrust the Employee with certain trade secrets and confidential business information (the “Confidential Information”). The Confidential Information includes, but is not limited to: source code, object code, operational and functional features and limitations of the Company’s software; the Company’s research and development plans and activities; the Company’s manufacturing and production plans and activities; the prices, terms and conditions of the Company’s contracts with its customers; the identities, needs and requirements of the Company’s customers; the Company’s pricing policies and price lists; the Company’s business plans and strategies; the Company’s marketing plans and strategies; personnel information; and financial information regarding the Company. The Employee further acknowledges that the development or acquisition of such Confidential Information is the result of great effort and expense by the Company, that the Confidential Information is critical to the survival and success of the Company, and that the unauthorized disclosure or use of the Confidential Information would cause the Company irreparable harm.

 

2. Non-disclosure of Confidential Information. The Employee agrees that, during the term of his or her employment with the Company and thereafter, he or she will not disclose the Confidential Information or use it in any way, except on behalf of the Company, whether or not such Confidential Information is produced by the Employee’s own efforts. The Employee further agrees, upon termination of his or her employment, promptly to deliver to the Company all Confidential Information, whether or not such Confidential Information was produced by the Employee’s own efforts, and to refrain from making, retaining or distributing copies thereof.

 

3. Inventions and Discoveries. Any invention, discovery, development, improvement, procedure, writing, work or trade secret (collectively referred to herein as “Inventions”) that relates to any phase of the business of the Company, or results from any work performed on the premises of the Company or by use of the facilities, equipment or services of other employees of the Company, whether patentable, copyrightable or not, and that is made or discovered by the Employee individually or jointly with any other person or persons during the term of the Employee’s employment with the Company (including any period of time prior to the date of this Agreement), shall forthwith be disclosed to the Company and shall be the sole property of the Company. Any such Invention shall be considered a work made for hire. The Employee hereby assigns to the Company all of his or her right, title and interest to any such Invention. The Employee further agrees to maintain adequate, current written records of any Invention within the scope of the foregoing provisions in the form of notes, sketches, drawings, memoranda or other written evidence, which records shall be and remain the sole property of the Company.

 

4. Patents, Trademarks and Copyrights. The Employee agrees that, during the term of his or her employment with the Company and thereafter, he or she will, whenever requested to do so by the Company and at the expense of the Company, apply or join with the Company in applying for patents, trademarks, copyrights, letters patent and other means for the protection of proprietary information, both foreign and domestic, with respect to any Invention described in paragraph 4. The Employee shall execute and deliver to the Company any and all other documents and instruments that, in the opinion of the Company and its counsel, are appropriate in order to obtain said patents, trademarks, copyrights, letters patent and other means of protecting proprietary information. The Employee shall further execute and deliver all such other instruments and take all other actions that in the opinion of the Company and its counsel shall be appropriate to vest in the Company (or in such person as the Company may specify) all right, title and interest in said patents, trademarks, copyrights, letters patent and other means of protecting proprietary information, and shall cooperate and assist in any litigation commenced by the Company against third parties with respect to the same.

 

11
 

 

5. Power of Attorney. In the event the Company is unable, after reasonable effort, to secure Employee’s signature on any letters patent, copyright or other analogous protection relating to an Invention, whether because of Employee’s physical or mental incapacity or for any other reason whatsoever, Employee hereby irrevocably designates and appoints the Company and its duly authorized officers and agents as his or her agent and attorney-in-fact, to act for and in his or her behalf and stead to execute and file any such application or applications and to do all other lawfully permitted acts to further the prosecution thereon with the same legal force and effect as if executed by Employee.

 

6. Employee Developments. Employee represents that all inventions, discoveries, developments, improvements, procedures, writings, works, trade secrets or other intellectual property rights to which Employee claims ownership as of the date of this Agreement (the “Employee Developments”), and which the parties agree are excluded from this Agreement, are listed in Exhibit A attached hereto. If no such Employee Developments are listed in Exhibit A, Employee represents that there are no such Employee Developments at the time of signing this Agreement.

 

7. Restrictions on Competition. The Employee agrees that, during the term of his or her employment with the Company and for a period of one year after termination for any reason of Employee’s employment, he or she will not, directly or indirectly, render services to, work for or on behalf of, have an interest in, make any loan to, or assist in any manner any business that is competitive with that in which the Company was engaged or planned to engage on the date of the Employee’s termination from the Company.

 

8. Return of Company Property. The Employee agrees, upon termination of his or her employment, promptly to deliver to the Company all files, keys, building passes, credit cards, books, documents, computer disks or tapes, and other property prepared by or on behalf of the Company or purchased with Company funds, and to refrain from making, retaining or distributing copies thereof.

 

12
 

 

9. Compliance with Other Agreements. The Employee represents and warrants to the Company that the execution of this Agreement by him, his or her performance of his or her obligations hereunder, and his or her employment by the Company will not, with or without the giving of notice or the passage of time, conflict with, result in the breach or termination of, or constitute default under, any agreement to which the Employee is a party or by which the Employee is or may be bound.

 

10. Waivers. The waiver by the Company or the Employee of any action, right or condition in this Agreement, or of any breach of a provision of this Agreement, shall not constitute a waiver of any other occurrences of the same event. Further, any subsequent change or changes in Employee’s duties, salary, compensation, or employment status will not affect the validity or enforceability of this Agreement.

 

11. Survival; Binding Effect. This Agreement shall survive the termination of the Employment Agreement regardless of the manner of such termination, and shall be binding upon the Employee and his or her heirs, executors and administrators.

 

12. Assign ability by Company. This Agreement is assignable by the Company and inures to the benefit of the Company, its subsidiaries, affiliated corporations, successors and assignees. This Agreement, being personal, is not assignable by the Employee.

14. Severability. The covenants of this Agreement are intended to be separable, and the expressions used therein are intended to refer to divisible entities. Accordingly, the invalidity of all or any part of any paragraph of this Agreement shall not render invalid the remainder of this Agreement or of such paragraph. If, in any judicial proceeding, any provision of this Agreement is found to be so broad as to be unenforceable, it is hereby agreed that such provision shall be interpreted to be only so broad as to be enforceable.

 

15. Governing Law. This Agreement shall be deemed to have been made in New York and shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the substantive law of New York, excluding, however, such laws as pertain to conflicts of law.

 

16. Consent to Jurisdiction. Employee hereby consents and submits to the jurisdiction of the state and federal courts in the state of New York.

 

17. Entire Agreement; Amendments.

REPORT OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM

 

To the Board of Directors and Stockholders
The Codesmart Group, Inc.
New York, New York

 

We have audited the accompanying balance sheet of The Codesmart Group, Inc. (“the Company”), a development stage company, as of December 31, 2012, and the related statements of operations, cash flows, and changes in stockholders’ equity for the period from inception (October 3, 2012) to December 31, 2012. These financial statements are the responsibility of the Company’s management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements based on our audit.

 

We conducted our audits in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States of America). Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement. An audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. An audit also includes assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. We believe that our audit provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.

 

In our opinion, the financial statements referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of The Codesmart Group, Inc. as of December 31, 2012, and the results of its operations and its cash flows for the period from inception (October 3, 2012) to December 31, 2012 in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.

 

The accompanying financial statements have been prepared assuming the Company will continue as a going concern. As discussed in Note 1 to the financial statements, the Company had a net loss and net cash used in operations of $23,386 and $18,926, respectively, for the period from inception (October 3, 2012) to December 31, 2012. These matters raise substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern. Management’s plans as to these matters are also described in Note 3. The financial statements do not include any adjustments that might result from the outcome of this uncertainty.

Notes to Financial Statements

For the Period From Inception (October 3, 2012) to December 31, 2012

  

Note 1 Organization and Description of Business

 

Organization

 

The Codesmart Group, Inc. (the “Company”) was organized on October 3, 2012 as a Nevada corporation. The Company will provide on-line education for medical coding and billing to healthcare professionals and also educate new healthcare professionals coming into the field. The Company will support provider organizations by offering outsourced medical coding services and transitional consulting.

 

Going Concern

 

The financial statements have been prepared on the going concern basis, which assumes the realization of assets and liquidation of liabilities in the normal course of operations.

 

As reflected in the accompanying financial statements, the Company has a net loss and net cash used in operations of $23,386 and $18,926, respectively, for the period from inception (October 3, 2012) to December 31, 2012.

 

The Company’s operations are in the development stage, and the Company has not generated any revenue since inception. The Company’s existence in the current period has been dependent upon the proceeds from the issuance of common stock. The financial statements do not include any adjustments relating to the recoverability of assets and classification of assets and liabilities that might be necessary should the Company be unable to continue as a going concern.

 

Note 2 Summary of Significant Accounting Policies

 

Basis of Presentation

 

The financial statements have been prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States of America ("US GAAP") and present the financial statements of the Company as of December 31, 2012.

 

Development Stage Company

 

The accompanying financial statements have been prepared in accordance with the FASB Accounting Standards Codification No 915, Development Stage Entities. A development stage enterprise is one in which planned and principal operations have not commenced or, if its operations have commenced, there has been no significant revenue there from. Development stage companies report cumulative costs from the enterprise’s inception.

  

Use of estimates

 

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the amounts reported in the financial statements and accompanying notes.

 

Making estimates requires management to exercise significant judgment. It is at least reasonably possible that the estimate of the effect of a condition, situation or set of circumstances that existed at the date of the financial statements, which management considered in formulating its estimate, could change in the near term due to one or more future confirming events. Accordingly, the actual results could differ significantly from the estimates.

 

Risks and uncertainties

 

The Company’s operations are subject to significant risk and uncertainties including financial, operational, technological, and regulatory risks including the potential risk of business failure. See Note 3 regarding going concern matters.

 

Cash

 

The Company considers all highly liquid instruments purchased with a maturity of three months or less to be cash equivalents. The Company held no cash equivalents at December 31, 2012.

Note 2 Summary of Significant Accounting Policies, Continued

 

Fair Value of Financial Instruments

 

For financial statement purposes, financial instruments include cash, and accounts and accrued expenses payable for which the carrying amounts approximated fair value because of their short maturity.

 

Revenue Recognition and Deferred Revenue

 

Revenues will consist primarily of tuition and fees derived from courses taught by the Company online as well as from related educational resources that the Company provides to its students, such as access to our online materials and learning management system. Tuition revenue and most fees from related educational resources will be recognized pro-rata over the applicable period of instruction. The Company will maintain an institutional tuition refund policy, which provides for all or a portion of tuition to be refunded if a student withdraws during stated refund periods. Certain states in which students reside impose separate, mandatory refund policies, which override the Company’s policy to the extent in conflict. If a student withdraws at a time when a portion or none of the tuition is refundable, then in accordance with its revenue recognition policy, the Company will immediately recognize as revenue the tuition that was not refunded. Since the Company will recognize revenue pro-rata over the term of the course and because, under its institutional refund policy, the amount subject to refund is never greater than the amount of the revenue that has been deferred, under the Company’s accounting policies revenue will not be recognized with respect to amounts that could potentially be refunded. The Company will also charge students annual fees for library, technology and other services, which will be deferred and recognized over the related service period. Deferred revenue and student deposits in any period will represent the excess of tuition, fees, and other student payments received as compared to amounts recognized as revenue and will be reflected as current liabilities in the accompanying balance sheets. The Company’s educational programs have starting and ending dates that differ from its fiscal quarters. Therefore, at the end of each fiscal quarter, a portion of revenue from these programs is not yet earned. Other revenues may be recognized as sales occur or services are performed.

 

There was no revenue earned for the period from inception (October 3, 2012) to December 31, 2012.

 

Instructional Costs and Services

 

Instructional costs and services will consist primarily of costs related to the administration and delivery of the Company’s educational programs. This expense category will include compensation for faculty and administrative personnel, costs associated with online faculty, curriculum and new program development costs, bad debt expense related to accounts receivable, financial aid processing costs, technology license costs and costs associated with other support groups that provide services directly to the students.

 

There were no instructional costs and service costs incurred for the period from inception (October 3, 2012) to December 31, 2012.

Note 2 Summary of Significant Accounting Policies, Continued

 

Earnings per share

 

Basic earnings (loss) per share is computed by dividing net income (loss) by weighted average number of shares of common stock outstanding during each period. Diluted earnings (loss) per share is computed by dividing net income (loss), adjusted for changes in income or loss that resulted from the assumed conversion of convertible shares, by the weighted average number of shares of common stock, common stock equivalents and potentially dilutive securities outstanding during the period.

 

The Company had no potential common stock equivalents at December 31, 2012.

 

Income Taxes

  

The Company accounts for income taxes pursuant to the provision of ASC 740-10, “Accounting for Income Taxes” which requires, among other things, an asset and liability approach to calculating deferred income taxes. The asset and liability approach requires the recognition of deferred tax assets and liabilities for the expected future tax consequences of temporary differences between the carrying amounts and the tax bases of assets and liabilities. A valuation allowance is provided to offset any net deferred tax assets for which management believes it is more likely than not that the net deferred asset will not be realized.

 

The Company follows the provision of the ASC 740-10 related to Accounting for Uncertain Income Tax Position. When tax returns are filed, it is highly certain that some positions taken would be situated upon examination by the taxing authorities, while others are subject to uncertainty about the merits of the position taken or the amount of the position that would be ultimately sustained. In accordance with the guidance of ASC 740-10, the benefit of a tax position is recognized in the financial statements in the period during which, based on all available evidence, management believes it is most likely that not that the position will be sustained upon examination, including the resolution of appeals or litigation processes, if any. Tax positions taken are not offset or aggregated with other positions.

 

Tax positions that meet the more-likely-than-not recognition threshold are measured as the largest amount of tax benefit that is more than 50 percent likely of being realized upon settlement with the applicable taxing authority. The portion of the benefits associated with tax positions taken that exceeds the amount measured as described above should be reflected as a liability for uncertain tax benefits in the accompanying balance sheet along with any associated interest and penalties that would be payable to the taxing authorities upon examination. The Company believes its tax positions are all highly certain of being upheld upon examination. As such, the Company has not recorded a liability for uncertain tax benefits.

 

The Company has adopted ASC 740-10-25 Definition of Settlement, which provides guidance on how an entity should determine whether a tax position is effectively settled for the purpose of recognizing previously unrecognized tax benefits and provides that a tax position can be effectively settled upon the completion and examination by a taxing authority without being legally extinguished. For tax position considered effectively settled, an entity would recognize the full amount of tax benefit, even if the tax position is not considered more likely that not to be sustained based solely on the basis of its technical merits and the statute of limitations remains open. The federal and state income tax returns of the Company are subject to examination by the IRS and state taxing authorities, generally for three years after they were filed.

 

Recent accounting pronouncements

 

There are no recent accounting pronouncements that are expected to have a material effect on the Company’s financial statements.

Note 3 Stockholders’ Equity

 

(A) Common Stock Transactions

 

On October 3, 2012 (date of inception), the Company issued 23,350,000 shares of the Company’s common stock to its four (4) founders. In consideration for the founders’ shares, the founders contributed intellectual property and performed various start-up services. The intellectual property had been fully impaired prior to the contribution. In accordance with ASC 805-50-15, the Company recorded the asset acquisition under common control at the carrying value, which was zero. The common owners of an entity chartered the Company, a newly formed entity, and then transferred the intellectual property to the newly formed entity for the founder shares. The Company reflected the issuance of the founders’ shares at par value of $2,335, and recorded the $2,335 to expense for services provided to form the entity.

 

On December 13, 2012, the Company issued 750,000 shares of common stock for cash proceeds of $25,000.

 

Note 4 Commitments and Contingencies

 

Litigations, Claims and Assessments

 

From time to time, the Company may become involved in various lawsuits and legal proceedings, which arise in the ordinary course of business. However, litigation is subject to inherent uncertainties, and an adverse result in these or other matters may arise from time to time that may harm its business. The Company is currently not aware of any such legal proceedings or claims that they believe will have, individually or in the aggregate, a material adverse affect on its business, financial condition or operating results.

 

Currently the Company is a virtual business. Management uses space provided by one of the founders at no charge.

Significant components of the Company’s deferred income tax assets and liabilities are as follows:

 

    December 31,  2012  
Deferred tax assets:     
Net operating loss  $9,300 
Total deferred tax assets   9,300 
      
Valuation allowance:     
Beginning of year   - 
Increase during year   (9,300)
Ending balance   (9,300)
      
Net deferred tax asset  $- 

 

A valuation allowance is established if it is more likely than not that all or a portion of the deferred tax asset will not be realized. The Company recorded a valuation allowance in 2012 due to the uncertainty of realization. Management believes that based upon its projection of future taxable operating income for the foreseeable future, it is more likely than not that the Company will not be able to realize the tax benefit associated with deferred tax assets. The net change in the valuation allowance during the years ended December 31, 2012 was an increase of $9,300.

 

At December 31, 2012, the Company had $23,386 of net operating loss carryforwards which will expire in 2032. The Company believes its tax positions are all highly certain of being upheld upon examination. As such, the Company has not recorded a liability for unrecognized tax benefits. As of December 31, 2012, the 2012 tax year remains open for IRS audit. The Company has received no notice of audit from the Internal Revenue Service for its open tax year.
