Purchase Price of Note: $

 

For value received CleanCore Solutions, Inc., a Nevada corporation (the “Company”), promises to pay to the undersigned holder or such party’s assigns (the “Holder”) the principal amount set forth above, as such principal amount may be adjusted pursuant to Section 1(d) below (the “Principal Amount”), with simple interest on the outstanding Principal Amount at the rate of twelve percent (12.00%) per annum (the “Interest Rate”). Interest shall commence the date hereof and shall continue to accrue on the outstanding Principal Amount until paid in full or until this Note (as defined below) is converted pursuant to Section 2 below. Interest shall be computed on the basis of a year of 365 days for the actual number of days elapsed. All unpaid interest and principal shall be due and payable on December 31, 2024, which date may be extended at the election of the Company by up to two additional 90-day periods (such date, if and as extended, the “Maturity Date”), with each such 90-day period being referred to as an “Extension Period.”

 

1. Basic Terms.

 

(a) Original Issue Discount Note.

 

(i) This Original Issue Discount Convertible Promissory Note (this “Note”) has been issued with an “original issue discount” for U.S. Federal income tax purposes. The Company will make available to the Holder of this Note: (1) the issue price and issue date of the Note, (2) the amount of original issue discount on the Note, (3) the yield to maturity of the Note, and (4) any other information required to be made available by the U.S. Treasury Regulations.

 

(b) Payments.

 

(i) Interest. Interest shall accrue to the Holder on the aggregate unconverted and then outstanding Principal Amount at the Interest Rate. Unless earlier converted into Class B Common Stock (as defined below) or repaid pursuant to Section 2 below, accrued interest on this Note shall be payable on the Maturity Date. Upon conversion of this Note as set forth in Section 2 below, all accrued and unpaid interest shall be paid in shares of Class B Common Stock rather than in cash.

 

 

 

 

(ii) Payments. All payments of interest and principal shall be in lawful money of the United States of America. All payments shall be applied first to accrued interest, and thereafter to principal.

 

(c) Prepayment. The Company may not prepay this Note prior to the Maturity Date without the consent of the Holder and on not less than 15 days prior notice to the Holder.

 

(d) Increase in Principal Amount. Effective immediately upon the commencement of any and each Extension Period, the Principal Amount of the Note shall be increased by $55,555 per Extension Period and interest shall begin to accrue on such additional outstanding principal amount from and after the commencement of such Extension Period. If the Note does not automatically convert into Class B Common Stock within six (6) months of the Original Issue Date, then the then-outstanding Principal Amount shall be increased by an additional $55,555.

 

2. Conversion and Repayment.

 

(a)  Conversion upon the Company’s Initial Public Offering. Upon the consummation of a firm commitment initial public offering of the Company’s class B common stock, par value $0.0001 per share (the “Class B Common Stock”), and concurrent listing on a U.S. national securities exchange (the “Conversion Date”), the entire outstanding Principal Amount and all accrued and unpaid interest on this Note shall automatically and simultaneously on the Conversion Date convert into a number of shares of Class B Common Stock of the Company that are identical to those issued to investors in such initial public offering at the applicable Conversion Price set forth in Section 2(b) below, subject to the limitations set forth in Section 2(d) below.

 

(b) Conversion Price. The conversion price for the Class B Common Stock (the “Conversion Price”) will be $1.00 per share, subject to the adjustments as described below in Section 2(e).

 

(c) Procedure for Conversion. Upon the conversion of this Note into Class B Common Stock pursuant to the terms hereof, in lieu of any fractional shares to which the Holder would otherwise be entitled, the Company shall pay the Holder cash equal to such fraction multiplied by the applicable Conversion Price.

 

(d) Maximum Conversion. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Note, this Note shall not be convertible into shares of the Company to the extent (but only to the extent) that the Holder or any of its affiliates would beneficially own in excess of 4.99% (the “Maximum Percentage”) of the issued and outstanding shares of the Company. To the extent the conversion provisions of Section 2(a) would be limited by this Section 2(d), the portion of this Note not converted may be converted into Shares at a later date or dates, provided that at such later date or dates the limitation in Section 2(d) would no longer apply to the Holder because such Holder would no longer own in excess of the Maximum Percentage. For the purposes of this paragraph, beneficial ownership and all determinations and calculations (including, without limitation, with respect to calculations of percentage ownership) shall be determined in accordance with Section 13(d) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Securities Act”), and the rules and regulations promulgated thereunder. The provisions of this paragraph shall be implemented in a manner otherwise than in strict conformity with the terms of this paragraph to correct this paragraph (or any portion hereof) which may be defective or inconsistent with the intended Maximum Percentage beneficial ownership limitation herein contained or to make changes or supplements necessary or desirable to properly give effect to such Maximum Percentage limitation.

 

2.

 

 

(e) Adjustments.

 

(i) If the Company, at any time while this Note is outstanding: (i) pays a stock dividend or otherwise makes a distribution or distributions payable in Class B Common Stock, (ii) subdivides outstanding Class B Common Stock into a larger number of shares, (iii) combines (including by way of a reverse stock split) outstanding Class B Common Stock into a smaller number of shares or (iv) issues, in the event of a reclassification of the Class B Common Stock, any shares of the Company, then the Conversion Price shall be multiplied by a fraction of which the numerator shall be the number of Class B Common Stock (excluding any treasury shares of the Company) outstanding immediately before such event, and of which the denominator shall be the number of Class B Common Stock outstanding immediately after such event. Any adjustment made pursuant to the immediately preceding sentence 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. 

 

(ii) If, at any time when this Note is issued and outstanding and prior to conversion of all of this Note, there shall be any merger, consolidation, exchange of shares, recapitalization, reorganization, or other similar event, as a result of which Class B Common Stock of the Company shall be changed into the same or a different number of shares of another class or classes of stock or securities of the Company or another entity, other than in connection with a plan of complete liquidation of the Company, then the Holder of this Note shall thereafter have the right to receive upon conversion of this Note, upon the basis and upon the  terms and conditions specified herein and in lieu of the Class B Common Stock immediately theretofore issuable upon conversion, such stock, securities or assets which the Holder would have been entitled to receive in such transaction had this Note been converted in full immediately prior to such transaction (without regard to any limitations on conversion set forth herein), and in any such case appropriate provisions shall be made with respect  to the rights and interests of the Holder of this Note to the end that the provisions hereof (including, without limitation, provisions for adjustment of the Conversion Price and of the number of shares issuable upon conversion of the Note) shall thereafter be applicable, as nearly as may be practicable in relation to any securities or assets thereafter deliverable upon the conversion hereof. The Company shall not effectuate any transaction described in this Section 2(e)(ii) unless (a) it first gives, to the extent practicable, at least five (5) days prior written notice of the record date of the special meeting of stockholders to approve, or if there is no such record date, the  consummation of, such merger, consolidation,  exchange of  shares, recapitalization, reorganization or other similar event (during which time the  Holder shall  be entitled to convert this Note) and (b) the resulting successor or acquiring entity (if not the Company) assumes by written instrument the obligations of this Section 2(e)(ii). The above provisions shall similarly apply to successive consolidations, mergers, sales, transfers or share exchanges. 

 

3. Representations and Warranties.

 

(a) Representations and Warranties of the Company. The Company hereby represents and warrants to the Holder as of the date this Note is issued as follows:

 

(i) Organization, Good Standing and Qualification. The Company is a corporation duly organized, validly existing and in good standing under the laws of the State of Nevada. The Company has the requisite corporate power to own and operate its properties and assets and to carry on its business as now conducted and as proposed to be conducted. The Company is duly qualified and is authorized to do business and is in good standing as a foreign corporation in all jurisdictions in which the nature of its activities and of its properties (both owned and leased) makes such qualification necessary, except for those jurisdictions in which failure to do so would not have a material adverse effect on the Company or its business (a “Material Adverse Effect”).

 

(ii) Corporate Power. The Company has all requisite corporate power to issue this Note and to carry out and perform its obligations under this Note, including the issuance of the Conversion Securities (as defined below). The Company’s Board of Directors (the “Board”) has approved the issuance of this Note based upon a reasonable belief that the issuance of this Note is appropriate for the Company after reasonable inquiry concerning the Company’s financing objectives and financial situation.

 

3.

 

 

(iii) Authorization. All corporate action on the part of the Company, the Board, and the Company’s stockholders necessary for the issuance and delivery of this Note and the issuance of the Conversion Securities has been taken. This Note constitutes a valid and binding obligation of the Company enforceable in accordance with its terms, subject to laws of general application relating to bankruptcy, insolvency, the relief of debtors and, with respect to rights to indemnity, subject to federal and state securities laws. Any securities issued upon conversion of this Note (the “Conversion Securities”), when issued in compliance with the provisions of this Note, will be validly issued, fully paid, nonassessable, free of any liens or encumbrances and issued in compliance with all applicable federal and securities laws.

 

(iv) Governmental Consents. All consents, approvals, orders or authorizations of, or registrations, qualifications, designations, declarations or filings with, any governmental authority required on the part of the Company in connection with issuance of this Note has been obtained.

 

(v) Compliance with Laws. To its knowledge, the Company is not in violation of any applicable statute, rule, regulation, order, or restriction of any domestic or foreign government or any instrumentality or agency thereof in respect of the conduct of its business or the ownership of its properties, which violation of which would have a Material Adverse Effect.

 

(vi) Compliance with Other Instruments. The Company is not in violation or default of any term of its certificate of incorporation or bylaws, or of any provision of any mortgage, indenture or contract to which it is a party and by which it is bound or of any judgment, decree, order or writ, other than such violation(s) that would not have a Material Adverse Effect. The execution, delivery and performance of this Note will not result in any such violation or be in conflict with, or constitute, with or without the passage of time and giving of notice, either a default under any such provision, instrument, judgment, decree, order or writ or an event that results in the creation of any lien, charge or encumbrance upon any assets of the Company or the suspension, revocation, impairment, forfeiture, or nonrenewal of any material permit, license, authorization or approval applicable to the Company, its business or operations or any of its assets or properties. Without limiting the foregoing, the Company has obtained all waivers reasonably necessary with respect to any preemptive rights, rights of first refusal or similar rights, including any notice or offering periods provided for as part of any such rights, in order for the Company to consummate the transactions contemplated hereunder without any third party obtaining any rights to cause the Company to offer or issue any securities of the Company as a result of the consummation of the transactions contemplated hereunder.

 

(vii) No “Bad Actor” Disqualification. The Company has exercised reasonable care to determine whether any Company Covered Person (as defined below) is subject to any of the “bad actor” disqualifications described in Rule 506(d)(1)(i) through (viii), as modified by Rules 506(d)(2) and (d)(3), under the Securities Act (“Disqualification Events”). To the Company’s knowledge, no Company Covered Person is subject to a Disqualification Event. The Company has complied, to the extent required, with any disclosure obligations under Rule 506(e) under the Securities Act. For purposes of this Note, “Company Covered Persons” are those persons specified in Rule 506(d)(1) under the Securities Act; provided, however, that Company Covered Persons do not include (a) the Holder, or (b) any person or entity that is deemed to be an affiliated issuer of the Company solely as a result of the relationship between the Company and the Holder.

 

(viii) Offering. Assuming the accuracy of the representations and warranties of the Holder contained in subsection (b) below, the offer, issue, and sale of this Note and the Conversion Securities (collectively, the “Securities”) are and will be exempt from the registration and prospectus delivery requirements of the Securities Act, and have been registered or qualified (or are exempt from registration and qualification) under the registration, permit or qualification requirements of all applicable state securities laws.

(iii) Ability to Bear Economic Risk.

(iv) Further Limitations on Disposition. Without in any way limiting the representations set forth above, the Holder further agrees not to make any disposition of all or any portion of the Securities unless and until:

(2) The Holder shall have notified the Company of the proposed disposition and furnished the Company with a detailed statement of the circumstances surrounding the proposed disposition, and if reasonably requested by the Company, the Holder shall have furnished the Company with an opinion of counsel, reasonably satisfactory to the Company, that such disposition will not require registration under the Securities Act or any applicable state securities laws; provided that no such opinion shall be required for dispositions in compliance with Rule 144 under the Securities Act, except in unusual circumstances.

 

(3) Notwithstanding the provisions of paragraphs (1) and (2) above, no such registration statement or opinion of counsel shall be necessary for a transfer by the Holder to a partner (or retired partner) or member (or retired member) of the Holder in accordance with partnership or limited liability company interests, or transfers by gift, will or intestate succession to any spouse or lineal descendants or ancestors, if all transferees agree in writing to be subject to the terms hereof to the same extent as if they were the Holders hereunder.

 

(v) Accredited Investor Status. The Holder is an “accredited investor” as such term is defined in Rule 501 under the Securities Act.

5.

 

 

(vii) Forward-Looking Statements.
