$150,000.00 | November 18, 2019 |
FOR VALUE RECEIVED, Holly Brothers Pictures, Inc., a Nevada corporation (the Company), promises to pay to the order of [ __________ ] (the Payee or the Holder) or registered assigns, the principal amount of One Hundred Fifty Thousand and 00/dollars ($150,000.00) (the Principal Amount) and interest on the Principal Amount (as set forth in Section 1), in such coin or currency of the United States of America as at the time of payment shall be legal tender for the payment of public and private debts. Interest on this Note shall accrue on the Principal Amount outstanding from time to time at a rate per annum computed in accordance with Section 1 hereof.
1. Interest Rate and Payments; Prepayment.
A. The balance of principal outstanding from time to time under this Note shall bear interest at the rate of five percent (5.0%) per annum (the Interest Rate), computed on the basis of a three hundred sixty (360) day year composed of twelve (12) months of thirty (30) days each.
B. The outstanding Principal Amount, and all other amounts due under this Note, together with all accrued and unpaid interest thereon, shall be due and payable as follows: (a) Seventy Five Thousand and 00/dollars ($75,000.00) shall be due and payable upon the earlier of the following: (i) November 18, 2020, or (ii) Such time that the Company has raised an additional $500,000.00 of new equity securities, or other securities which are convertible into equity of the Company; and (b) the remaining Seventy Five Thousand and 00/dollars ($75,000.00) shall be due and payable at such time that the Company has raised an additional $250,000.00 for a cumulative total of $750,000.00 of new equity securities, or other securities which are convertible into equity of the Company, unless accelerated due to the occurrence of an Event of Default (the earlier of such dates is referred to as the Maturity Date).
2. Voluntary Conversion and No Forced Conversion.
A. Subject to Section 2.B. below, this Note shall be convertible at any time, in whole or in part, into shares of Company common stock (the Common Stock) at a conversion price equal to $0.05 per share (the Conversion Price), which Conversion Price shall be proportionately adjusted for stock splits, stock dividends or similar events. The Holder shall effect conversions by delivering to the Company a Notice of Conversion, the form of which is attached hereto as Annex A (each, a Notice of Conversion), specifying therein the interest or Principal Amount of this Note to be converted and the date on which such conversion shall be effected (such date, the Conversion Date). If no Conversion Date is specified in a Notice of Conversion, the Conversion Date shall be the date that such Notice of Conversion is deemed delivered hereunder. Upon conversion, the Common Stock deliverable hereunder shall be issued within four (4) business days of the conversion date.
1
B. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Note, this Note shall not be convertible into Common Stock 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 Common Stock. To the extent the conversion provisions of Section 2.A. would be limited by this Section 2.B, the portion of this Note not converted shall be converted into Common Stock at a later date or dates, provided that at such later date or dates the limitation in Section 2.B 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, 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. The holders of Common Stock shall be third party beneficiaries of this paragraph and the Company may not amend or waive this paragraph without the consent of holders of a majority of its Common Stock.
C. The Note Holder shall not be compelled to convert any amount of the Note to Common Stock. Any conversion of the Note to Common Stock shall be done at the sole discretion of the Note Holder.
3. Certain Adjustments to the Conversion Price.
A. Stock Dividends and Stock Splits. If the Company, at any time while this Note is outstanding: (A) pays a stock dividend or otherwise makes a distribution or distributions payable in shares of Common Stock on shares of Common Stock or any securities of the Company which would entitle the holder thereof to acquire at any time Common Stock, including, without limitation, any debt, preferred stock, rights, options, warrants or other instrument that is at any time convertible into or exercisable or exchangeable for, or otherwise entitles the holder thereof to receive, Common Stock (collectively, Common Stock Equivalents); (B) subdivides outstanding shares of Common Stock into a larger number of shares; (C) combines (including by way of a reverse stock split) outstanding shares of Common Stock into a smaller number of shares; or (D) issues, in the event of a reclassification of shares of the Common Stock, any shares of capital stock of the Company, then the Conversion Price shall be multiplied by a fraction of which the numerator shall be the number of shares of Common Stock (excluding any treasury shares of the Company) outstanding immediately before such event and of which the denominator shall be the number of shares of Common Stock outstanding immediately after such event. Any adjustment made pursuant to this Section 3.A. 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.
B. Subsequent Equity Sales. If the Company, at any time while this Note is outstanding, issues any Common Stock or Common Stock Equivalents entitling any person or entity to acquire shares of Common Stock at an effective price per share that is lower than the then Conversion Price (such lower price, the Base Conversion Price and such issuances, collectively, a Dilutive Issuance), then the Conversion Price shall be reduced to equal the Base Conversion Price. Such adjustment shall be made whenever such Common Stock or Common Stock Equivalents are issued. The Company shall notify the Holder in writing, no later than one business day following the issuance of any Common Stock or Common Stock Equivalents subject to this Section 3.B., indicating therein the applicable issuance price, or applicable reset price, exchange price, conversion price and other pricing terms (such notice, the Dilutive Issuance Notice). For purposes of clarification, whether or not the Company provides a Dilutive Issuance Notice pursuant to this Section 3.B., upon the occurrence of any Dilutive Issuance, the Holder is entitled to receive a number of shares of Common stock based upon the Base Conversion Price
2
on or after the date of such Dilutive Issuance, regardless of whether the Holder accurately refers to the Base Conversion Price in the Notice of Conversion. The foregoing anti-dilution protection shall not apply to securities issued in connection with (i) shares issued pursuant to the Companys incentive plans, (ii) shares issued for consideration other than cash pursuant to a vendor or consultant, or pursuant to a strategic relationship, joint venture, merger, consolidation, acquisition, or similar business combination approved by the Board; (iii) shares issued pursuant to any equipment loan or leasing arrangement, real property leasing arrangement or debt financing from a bank or similar financial institution approved by the Board; and (iv) shares issued with respect to securities outstanding as of the closing date.
4. Covenants of Company
A. Affirmative Covenants. The Company covenants and agrees that, so long as this Note shall be outstanding, it will perform the obligations set forth in this Section 4.A.:
(i) Maintenance of Existence. The Company will do or cause to be done all things reasonably necessary to preserve and keep in full force and effect its corporate existence, rights and franchises and comply with all laws applicable to the Company, except where the failure to comply would not have a material adverse effect on the Company.
5. Events of Default
A. The term Event of Default shall mean any of the events set forth in this Section 5.A.:
(i) Non-Payment of Obligations. The Company shall default in the payment of the Principal Amount or accrued interest of this Note as and when the same shall become due and payable, whether by acceleration or otherwise.
(ii) Non-Performance of Affirmative Covenants. The Company shall materially default in the due observance or performance of any covenant set forth in Section 4.A.
(iii) Bankruptcy, Insolvency, etc. The Company shall:

(b) permit or suffer to exist the commencement of any bankruptcy, reorganization, debt arrangement or other case or proceeding under any bankruptcy or insolvency law, or any dissolution, winding up or liquidation proceeding, in respect of the Company, and, if such case or proceeding is not commenced by the Company or converted to a voluntary case, such case or proceeding shall be consented to or acquiesced in by the Company or shall result in the entry of an order for relief.
B. Action if Bankruptcy. If any Event of Default described in clause (iii) of Section 5.A. shall occur, the outstanding Principal Amount of this Note and all other obligations hereunder shall automatically be and become immediately due and payable, without notice or demand.
C. Action if Other Event of Default. Upon the occurrence of an Event of Default that goes uncured for more than 10 days after written notice thereof by Holder to the Company (other than any Event of Default described in clause (iii) of Section 5.A.) the entire outstanding principal of the Note together with the interest accrued thereon shall be immediately due and payable. The Company hereby waives any and all notices including notice of breach, notice of default, notice of intent to accelerate, notice of acceleration or any other demand or presentment that may be required.
