Item 1.02 Termination of a Material Definitive Agreement.

 

The information set forth under Item 2.03 is incorporated herein by reference.

 

Item 2.03Creation of a Direct Financial Obligation or an Obligation under an Off-Balance Sheet Arrangement of a Registrant.

 

On March 27, 2019, Long Island Brand Beverages LLC (“LIBB”), a wholly owned subsidiary of Long Blockchain Corp. (the “Company”), obtained an advance of CA$200,000 (or approximately $150,000) from ECC Ventures 2 Corp. (“ECC2”) and an advance of CA$250,000 (or approximately $187,500) from Long Island Beverages Corp. (“LIBC,” and together with ECC2, the “Lenders”). ECC2 previously had advanced CA$50,000 (or approximately $37,5000) to LIBB (together with the other advances, the “Loans”).

 

The Loans by ECC2 were made pursuant to a loan agreement (the “Loan Agreement”) by and among LIBB, the Company and ECC Ventures 2 Corp. (“ECC2”) and a general security agreement (the “Security Agreement”), by and between LIBB and ECC2, each dated as of January 31, 2019. The Loan by LIBC was made on terms substantially similar to those contained in the Loan Agreement and Security Agreement. As previously disclosed, the Company, ECC2 and LIBC are party to that certain letter of intent (the “LOI”), dated January 16, 2019, relating to the sale of LIBB to ECC2 for a combination of cash and shares of ECC2 (the “Transaction”).

 

The Loans incur interest at a rate of 10% per annum and mature on July 31, 2019. Accrued and unpaid interest is payable in cash on July 1, 2019 and on the first day of each calendar month thereafter. The guaranty terminates upon consummation of a sale of all or substantially all of the equity or assets of LIBB to the Lender or its affiliates. The Loans are secured by all of the assets of LIBB and are guaranteed by the Company.

 

The Loan Agreement contains customary representations and warranties and affirmative and negative covenants of LIBB, including without limitation covenants that restrict LIBB from making investments, incurring liens and permitting a change of control to occur, subject to certain exceptions.

 

The Loan Agreement provides that the termination of the LOI or any definitive agreements executed with respect to the Transactions (the “Definitive Agreement”), the breach of the LOI or Definitive Agreements by the Company or LIBB, and certain other customary events constitute events of default. Upon the occurrence of an event of default, at the option of the Lender, all principal and interest under the Lender’s Loan will become immediately due and payable. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if the event of default relates to the termination of the LOI or Definitive Agreements by the Lender without the consent of LIBB, or the termination of such agreements by another party based on a breach by the Lender, LIBB will have 30 days after demand to repay the Lender’s Loan.

 

The Company used $235,000 of the Loans to satisfy in full its obligations under that certain agreement for the purchase and sale of future receipts (the “Radium Agreement”), dated November 27, 2017, with Radium2 Capital Inc. (“Radium”). Pursuant to the Radium Agreement, Radium was entitled to receive 15% of the proceeds from the Company’s future sales, up to a specified maximum amount. Upon payment of the $235,000, the Radium Agreement was terminated and the Company has no further obligation thereunder.

 

The foregoing descriptions of the Loan Agreement and the Security Agreement do not purport to be complete and are subject to and qualified in their entirety by reference to the full text of such agreements, which are filed as exhibits hereto and which are incorporated herein by reference.

Item 3.02Unregistered Sales of Equity Securities.

 

On April 1, 2019, the Company entered into a settlement agreement with Julian Davidson, the Company’s former Chairman of the Board, pursuant to which the Company and Mr. Davidson finally settled certain claims made by Mr. Davidson for severance. Pursuant to the settlement agreement, among other things, the Company agreed to issue 1,000,000 shares of common stock to Mr. Davidson and granted Mr. Davidson certain registration rights with respect to the shares. The shares are being issued to Mr. Davidson in a private placement in reliance on the exemption from registration provided by Section 4(a)(2) of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended.

If any Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing, the Grantor further agrees, at the Lender’s request, to assemble the Collateral and make it available to the Lender at a place or places designated by the Lender which are reasonably convenient to the Lender and the Grantor, whether at the Grantor’s premises or elsewhere. Until the Lender is able to effect a sale, lease, or other disposition of Collateral, the Lender shall have the right to hold or use Collateral, or any part thereof, to the extent that it deems appropriate for the purpose of preserving Collateral or its value or for any other purpose deemed appropriate by the Lender. The Lender shall not have any obligation to the Grantor to maintain or preserve the rights of the Grantor as against third parties with respect to any Collateral while such Collateral is in the possession of the Lender. The Lender may, if it so elects, seek the appointment of a receiver or keeper to take possession of Collateral and to enforce any of the Lender’s remedies (for the benefit of the Lender and Lenders), with respect to such appointment without prior notice or hearing as to such appointment. The Lender shall apply the net proceeds of any such collection, recovery, receipt, appropriation, realization, or sale to the Obligations as provided in the Loan Agreement, and only after so paying over such net proceeds, and after the payment by the Lender of any other amount required by any provision of law, need the Lender account for the surplus, if any, to the Grantor. To the maximum extent permitted by applicable law, the Grantor waives all claims, damages, and demands against the Lender arising out of the repossession, retention, or sale of the Collateral except to the extent that such arise out of the gross negligence or willful misconduct of the Lender as finally determined by a court of competent jurisdiction. The Grantor agrees that 10 days prior notice by the Lender of the time and place of any public sale or of the time after which a private sale may take place is reasonable notification of such matters. The Grantor shall remain liable for any deficiency if the proceeds of any sale or disposition of the Collateral are insufficient to pay all Obligations, including any attorneys’ fees and other expenses incurred by the Lender to collect such deficiency.

(b)Except as otherwise specifically provided herein, the Grantor hereby waives presentment, demand, protest, or any notice (to the maximum extent permitted by applicable law) of any kind in connection with this Security Agreement or any Collateral.

 

(c)To the extent that applicable law imposes duties on the Lender to exercise remedies in a best manner, the Grantor acknowledges and agrees that it is not commercially unreasonable for the Lender (i) to fail to incur expenses reasonably deemed significant by the Lender to prepare Collateral for disposition or otherwise to complete raw material or work in process into finished goods or other finished products for disposition; (ii) to fail to obtain third party consents for access to Collateral to be disposed of, or to obtain or, if not required by other law, to fail to obtain governmental or third party consents for the collection or disposition of Collateral to be collected or disposed of; (iii) to fail to exercise collection remedies against Account Debtors or other Persons obligated on Collateral or to remove Liens on or any adverse claims against Collateral; (iv) to exercise collection remedies against Account Debtors and other Persons obligated on Collateral directly or through the use of collection agencies and other collection specialists; (v) to advertise dispositions of Collateral through publications or media of general circulation, whether or not the Collateral is of a specialized nature; (vi) to contact other Persons, whether or not in the same business as the Grantor, for expressions of interest in acquiring all or any portion of such Collateral; (vii) to hire one or more professional auctioneers to assist in the disposition of Collateral, whether or not the Collateral is of a specialized nature; (viii) to dispose of Collateral by utilizing internet sites that provide for the auction of assets of the types included in the Collateral or that have the reasonable capacity of doing so, or that match buyers and sellers of assets; (ix) to dispose of assets in wholesale rather than retail markets; (x) to disclaim disposition warranties, such as title, possession or quiet enjoyment; (xi) to purchase insurance or credit enhancements to insure the Lender against risks of loss, collection or disposition of Collateral or to provide to the Lender a guaranteed return from the collection or disposition of Collateral; or (xii) to the extent deemed appropriate by the Lender, to obtain the services of other brokers, investment bankers, consultants, and other professionals to assist the Lender in the collection or disposition of any of the Collateral. The Grantor acknowledges that the purpose of this Section 7(c) is to provide non-exhaustive indications of what actions or omissions by the Lender would not be commercially unreasonable in the Lender’s exercise of remedies against the Collateral and that other actions or omissions by the Lender shall not be deemed commercially unreasonable solely on account of not being indicated in this Section 7(c). Without limitation upon the foregoing, nothing contained in this Section 7(c) shall be construed to grant any rights to the Grantor or to impose any duties on the Lender that would not have been granted or imposed by this Security Agreement or by applicable law in the absence of this Section 7(c).

(d)The Lender shall not be required to make any demand upon, or pursue or exhaust any of their rights or remedies against, any Grantor, any other obligor, guarantor, pledgor, or any other Person with respect to the payment of the Obligations or to pursue or exhaust any of their rights or remedies with respect to any Collateral therefor or any direct or indirect guarantee thereof. The Lender shall not be required to marshal the Collateral or any guarantee of the Obligations or to resort to the Collateral or any such guarantee in any particular order, and all of its and their rights hereunder or under any other Loan Document shall be cumulative. To the extent it may lawfully do so, the Grantor absolutely and irrevocably waives and relinquishes the benefit and advantage of, and covenants not to assert against the Lender, any valuation, stay, appraisement, extension, redemption, or similar laws and any and all rights or defenses it may have as a surety now or hereafter existing which, but for this provision, might be applicable to the sale of any Collateral made under the judgment, order, or decree of any court, or privately under the power of sale conferred by this Security Agreement, or otherwise.

 

8.Grant of License to Use Intellectual Property. For the purpose of enabling the Lender to exercise its rights and remedies under Section 7 hereof (including, without limiting the terms of Section 7 hereof, in order to take possession of, hold, preserve, process, assemble, prepare for sale, market for sale, sell, monitor, collect or otherwise dispose of Collateral), the Grantor hereby assigns, transfers and conveys to the Lender, for the benefit of the Lender and Lenders, effective upon the occurrence of any Event of Default, the non-exclusive right and license to use all Intellectual Property owned or used by the Grantor together with any goodwill associated therewith, in any case to the extent that it is not prohibited from doing so under applicable law. This right and license shall inure to the benefit of all successors, assigns and transferees of the Lender and its successors, assigns and transferees, whether by voluntary conveyance, operation of law, assignment, transfer, foreclosure, deed in lieu of foreclosure or otherwise. Such right and license is granted free of charge and does not require the consent of any other person.

 

9.Limitation on the Lender’s and Lenders’ Duty in Respect of Collateral. The Lender shall use reasonable care with respect to the Collateral in its possession or under its control. The Lender shall not have any other duty as to any Collateral in its possession or control or in the possession or control of any agent or nominee of the Lender, or any income thereon or as to the preservation of rights against prior parties or any other rights pertaining thereto. The Lender shall not be liable or responsible for any loss or damage to any of the Collateral, or for any diminution in the value thereof, by reason of the act or omission of any warehouse, carrier, forwarding agency, consignee, broker or other agent or bailee selected by any Grantor or selected by the Lender in good faith.

13.No Waiver; Cumulative Remedies. No failure on the part of the Lender to exercise, and no delay in exercising and no course of dealing with respect to, any right under this Security Agreement shall operate as a waiver thereof; nor shall any single or partial exercise by the Lender of any right under this Security Agreement preclude any other or further exercise thereof or the exercise of any other right. The rights in this Security Agreement and the other Loan Documents are cumulative and shall in no way limit any other remedies provided by law.

 

14.Limitation by Law. All rights, remedies and powers provided in this Security Agreement may be exercised only to the extent that the exercise thereof does not violate any applicable provision of law, and all the provisions of this Security Agreement are intended to be subject to all applicable mandatory provisions of law that may be controlling and to be limited to the extent necessary so that they shall not render this Security Agreement invalid, unenforceable, in whole or in part, or not entitled to be recorded, registered, or filed under the provisions of any applicable law.
