HPIL HOLDING
CONVERTIBLE PROMISSORY NOTE DUE January 28, 2017
FOR VALUE RECEIVED, HPIL HOLDING, a Nevada corporation (the "Company") promises to pay to KODIAK CAPITAL GROUP, LLC or its registered assigns (the “Holder”), or shall have paid pursuant to the terms hereunder, the principal sum of $215,000 on January 28, 2017 (the “Maturity Date”) or such earlier date as this Note is required or permitted to be repaid as provided hereunder. This Note is issued in connection with that certain Equity Purchase Agreement (the “Purchase Agreement”) entered into by and between the Company and the Holder on the Execution Date (as defined in the Purchase Agreement). Certain capitalized terms used herein are defined in Section 12.
This Note is subject to the following additional provisions:
1. The Note is exchangeable for an equal aggregate principal amount of Note of different authorized denominations, as requested by the Holder surrendering the same. No service charge will be made for such registration or transfer or exchange.
2. The Holder of this Note is entitled, subject to the following provisions, to convert all or a portion of the principal amount of this Note into shares (the “Shares”) of the Company’s common stock, par value $0.0001 per share (the “Common Stock”) at a conversion price for each share of Common Stock equal to the Current Market Price multiplied by fifty percent (50%) (the “Conversion Price”); provided however, that the Note may not be converted until the earlier of (i) six months from the Issue Date or (ii) the effective registration of the Shares for resale on a registration statement on Form S-1 or S-3, as applicable. “Current Market Price” means the lowest closing bid price for the Common Stock as reported by Bloomberg, LP for the thirty (30) trading days ending on the trading day immediately before the relevant Conversion Date (as defined below). The amount of Shares issuable pursuant to a conversion shall equal the principal amount (or portion thereof) of the Note to be converted, divided by the Conversion Price.
Conversion shall be effectuated by surrendering the Note to the Company, accompanied by or preceded by email or other delivery to the Company of a conversion notice substantially in the form attached hereto as Exhibit A (the “Conversion Notice”), executed by the Holder evidencing such Holder's intention to convert a specified portion hereof on such date set forth in the Conversion Notice (the “Conversion Date”). No fractional shares of Common Stock or scrip representing fractions of shares will be issued on conversion, but the number of shares issuable shall be rounded to the nearest whole share. Certificates representing Common Stock upon conversion will be delivered within three (3) Business Days from the Conversion Date (“Delivery Date”).
The Company shall pay any payments incurred under this Section in immediately available funds upon demand as the Holder’s remedy for such delay. Furthermore, in addition to any other remedies which may be available to the Holder, in the event that the Company fails for any reason to effect delivery of the Shares by close of business on the Delivery Date, unless such failure is due to causes beyond the Company’s reasonable control or that of its transfer agent, the Holder will be entitled to revoke the relevant Notice of Conversion by delivering a notice to such effect to the Company, whereupon the Company and the Holder shall each be restored to their respective positions immediately prior to delivery of such Notice of Conversion; provided, however, that an amount equal to any payments contemplated by this Section which have accrued through the date of such revocation notice shall remain due and owing to the Converting Holder notwithstanding such revocation.
If, by the relevant Delivery Date (A) there is an effective registration statement registering for resale the Shares by the Holder or (B) the Shares are eligible for resale by the Holder without volume or manner-of-sale limitations pursuant to Rule 144 promulgated under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, and, in either case, the Company fails, unless such failure is due to causes beyond the Company’s reasonable control or that of its transfer agent, for any reason to deliver the Shares and after such Delivery Date, the Holder of the Note being converted (a “Converting Holder”) purchases, in an arm’s-length open market transaction or otherwise, shares of Common Stock (the “Covering Shares”) in order to make delivery in satisfaction of a sale of Common Stock by the Converting Holder (the “Sold Shares”), which delivery such Converting Holder anticipated to make using the Shares to be issued upon such conversion (a “Buy-In”), the Converting Holder shall have the right, to require the Company to pay to the Converting Holder, in addition to and not in lieu of the amounts due hereunder (but in addition to all other amounts contemplated in other provisions of the Transaction Agreements, and not in lieu of any such other amounts), the Buy-In Adjustment Amount (as defined below). The “Buy-In Adjustment Amount” is the amount equal to the excess, if any, of (x) the Converting Holder's total purchase price (including brokerage commissions, if any) for the Covering Shares over (y) the net proceeds (after brokerage commissions, if any) received by the Converting Holder from the sale of the Sold Shares. The Company shall pay the Buy-In Adjustment Amount to the Company in immediately available funds immediately upon demand by the Converting Holder. By way of illustration and not in limitation of the foregoing, if the Converting Holder purchases shares of Common Stock having a total purchase price (including brokerage commissions) of $11,000 to cover a Buy-In with respect to shares of Common Stock it sold for net proceeds of $10,000, the Buy-In Adjustment Amount which Company will be required to pay to the Converting Holder will be $1,000.
In lieu of delivering physical certificates representing the Shares issuable upon conversion, if (A) there is an effective registration statement registering for resale the Shares by the Holder or (B) the Shares are eligible for resale by the Holder without volume or manner-of-sale limitations pursuant to Rule 144 and, in either case, provided the Company’s transfer agent is participating in the Depository Trust Company (“DTC”) Fast Automated Securities Transfer program, upon request of the Holder and its compliance with the provisions contained in this paragraph, so long as the certificates therefore do not bear a legend and the Holder thereof is not obligated to return such certificate for the placement of a legend thereon, the Company shall use its best efforts to cause its transfer agent to electronically transmit the Common Stock issuable upon conversion to the Holder by crediting the account of Holder’s Prime Broker with DTC through its Deposit Withdrawal Agent Commission system.
The Holder of the Note shall be entitled to exercise its conversion privilege with respect to the Note notwithstanding the commencement of any case under 11 U.S.C. §101 et seq. (the “Bankruptcy Code”). In the event the Company is a debtor under the Bankruptcy Code, the Company hereby waives, to the fullest extent permitted, any rights to relief it may have under 11 U.S.C. §362 in respect of such holder’s conversion privilege. The Company hereby waives, to the fullest extent permitted, any rights to relief it may have under 11 U.S.C. §362 in respect of the conversion of the Note. This Note has been issued subject to investment representations of the original purchaser hereof and may be transferred or exchanged only in compliance with the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the "Act"), and other applicable state and foreign securities laws. In the event of any proposed transfer of this Note, the Company may require, prior to issuance of a new Note in the name of such other Person, that it receive reasonable transfer documentation including legal opinions that the issuance of the Note in such other name does not and will not cause a violation of the Act or any applicable state or foreign securities laws. Prior to due presentment for transfer of this Note, the Company and any agent of the Company may treat the Person in whose name this Note is duly registered on the Company's Note Register as the owner hereof for the purpose of receiving payment as herein provided and for all other purposes, whether or not this Note be overdue, and neither the Company nor any such agent shall be affected by notice to the contrary.
4. No provision of this Note shall alter or impair the obligation of the Company, which is absolute and unconditional, to pay the principal of this Note at the time, place, and rate, and in the coin or currency, herein prescribed. This Note is a direct obligation of the Company.
5. The Holder of the Note, by acceptance hereof, agrees that this Note is being acquired for investment and that such Holder will not offer, sell or otherwise dispose of this Note or the shares of Common Stock issuable upon conversion thereof except under circumstances which will not result in a violation of the Act or any applicable state Blue Sky or foreign laws or similar laws relating to the sale of securities.
6. This Note and all acts and transactions pursuant hereto and the rights and obligations of the Company and the Holder shall be governed, construed and interpreted in accordance with the laws of the State of California, without giving effect to principles of conflicts of law. Each of the Company and Holder hereby submit to the exclusive jurisdiction of the United States Federal and state courts located in Los Angeles, California with respect to the adjudication of any dispute hereunder or in connection herewith or with any transaction contemplated hereby or discussed herein. Each of the parties hereby waives the right to a trial by jury in connection with any dispute arising under this Note.
7. The Company may prepay this Note in whole or in part at any time following at least fifteen (15) and no more than sixty (60) days’ advance written notice to the Holder, provided that the Holder shall retain all rights of conversion until the date of repayment, notwithstanding the pendency of any prepayment notice.
8. The following shall constitute an "Event of Default":
(a) The Company shall default in the payment of principal on this Note and same shall continue for a period of five (5) days provided, however, that an Event of Default shall not occur on account of a failure to pay due solely to an administrative or operational error of any depositary institution that is crediting by ACH or wiring such payment if Company had the funds to make the payment when due and makes the payment within two (2) Business Days following Company’s knowledge of such failure to pay; or
(b) Any of the representations or warranties made by the Company herein, in any certificate or financial or other written statements heretofore or hereafter furnished by the Company in connection with the execution and delivery of this Note shall be false or misleading in any material respect at the time made; or
(c) The Company shall fail to perform or observe, in any material respect, any other covenant, term, provision, condition, agreement or obligation of any Note and such failure shall continue uncured for a period of fifteen (15) days after written notice from the Holder of such failure; or
(d) The Company fails to authorize or to cause its transfer agent to issue the Shares upon exercise by the Holder through a Notice of Conversion in accordance with the terms of this Note, fails to transfer or to cause its transfer agent to transfer any certificate for Shares issued to the Holder upon conversion of this Note and when required by this Note, and such transfer is otherwise lawful, or fails to remove any restrictive legend on any certificate or fails to cause its transfer agent to remove such restricted legend, in each case where such removal is lawful, as and when required by this Note, and any such failure shall continue uncured for five (5) Business Days; or
(e) The Company shall (1) make an assignment for the benefit of creditors or commence proceedings for its dissolution; or (2) apply for or consent to the appointment of a trustee, liquidator or receiver for its or for a substantial part of its property or business; or
(f) A trustee, liquidator or receiver shall be appointed for the Company or for a substantial part of its property or business without its consent and shall not be discharged within sixty (60) days after such appointment; or
(f) Any governmental agency or any court of competent jurisdiction at the instance of any governmental agency shall assume custody or control of the whole or any substantial portion of the properties or assets of the Company and shall not be dismissed within sixty (60) days thereafter; or
(g) Any money judgment, writ or warrant of attachment, or similar process in excess of ThreeHundred Thousand ($300,000) Dollars in the aggregate shall be entered or filed against the Company or any of its properties or other assets and shall remain unpaid, unvacated, unbonded or unstayed for a period of thirty (30) days or in any event later than five (5) days prior to the date of any proposed sale thereunder; or
(h) Bankruptcy, reorganization, insolvency or liquidation proceedings or other proceedings for relief under any bankruptcy law or any law for the relief of debtors shall be instituted by or against the Company and, if instituted against the Company, shall not be dismissed within sixty (60) days after such institution or the Company shall by any action or answer approve of, consent to, or acquiesce in any such proceedings or admit the material allegations of, or default in answering a petition filed in any such proceeding; or
(i) Shares of Common Stock shall cease to be quoted on the OTCQB for any reason and are not thereafter re-listed, re-traded or re-quoted on another Principal Market within fifteen (15) trading days.

Then, or at any time thereafter, and in each and every such case, unless such Event of Default shall have been waived in writing by the Holder (which waiver shall not be deemed to be a waiver of any subsequent default) at the option of the Holder and in the Holder's sole discretion, the Holder may consider all obligations under this Note immediately due and payable within five (5) days of notice, without presentment, demand, protest or notice of any kinds, all of which are hereby expressly waived, anything herein or in any note or other instruments contained to the contrary notwithstanding, and the Holder may immediately enforce any and all of the Holder's rights and remedies provided herein or any other rights or remedies afforded by law. Upon an Event of Default, the Principal Amount will increased to $250,000 and the Conversion Price will become the Current Market Price multiplied by twenty five percent (25%) (“Default Conversion Price”).
9. The Company shall not effect any conversion of this Note, and a Holder shall not have the right to convert any portion of this Note, pursuant to Section 2 or otherwise, to the extent that after giving effect to such issuance after exercise as set forth on the applicable Notice of Conversion, the Holder (together with the Holder’s Affiliates, and any other 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 below). For purposes of the foregoing sentence, the number of shares of Common Stock beneficially owned by the Holder and its Affiliates shall include the number of shares of Common Stock issuable upon conversion of this Note with respect to which such determination is being made, but shall exclude the number of shares of Common Stock which would be issuable upon (i) conversion of the remaining, nonconverted portion of this Note beneficially owned by the Holder or any of its Affiliates and (ii) exercise or conversion of the unexercised or nonconverted portion of any other securities of the Company (including, without limitation, securities convertible into Common Stock) subject to a limitation on conversion or exercise analogous to the limitation contained herein beneficially owned by the Holder or any of its Affiliates. Except as set forth in the preceding sentence, for purposes of this Section 9, beneficial ownership shall be calculated in accordance with Section 13(d) of the Exchange Act and the rules and regulations promulgated thereunder, it being acknowledged by the Holder that the Company is not representing to the Holder that such calculation is in compliance with Section 13(d) of the Exchange Act and the Holder is solely responsible for any schedules required to be filed in accordance therewith. To the extent that the limitation contained in this Section 9 applies, the determination of whether this Note is convertible (in relation to other securities owned by the Holder together with any Affiliates) and of which portion of this Note is convertible shall be in the sole discretion of the Holder, and the submission of a Notice of Conversion shall be deemed to be the Holder’s determination of whether this Note is convertible (in relation to other securities owned by the Holder together with any Affiliates) and of which portion of this Note is convertible, in each case subject to the Beneficial Ownership Limitation, and the Company shall have no obligation to verify or confirm the accuracy of such determination. In addition, a determination as to any group status as contemplated above shall be determined in accordance with Section 13(d) of the Exchange Act and the rules and regulations promulgated thereunder. For purposes of this Section 9, in determining the number of outstanding shares of Common Stock, a Holder may rely on the number of outstanding shares of Common Stock as reflected in (A) the Company’s most recent periodic or annual report filed with the SEC, as the case may be, (B) a more recent public announcement by the Company or (C) a more recent written notice by the Company or Company’s transfer agent setting forth the number of shares of Common Stock outstanding. Upon the written or oral request of a Holder, the Company shall within two trading days confirm orally and in writing to the Holder the number of shares of Common Stock then outstanding. In any case, the number of outstanding shares of Common Stock shall be determined after giving effect to the conversion or exercise of securities of the Company, including this Note, by the Holder or its Affiliates since the date as of which such number of outstanding shares of Common Stock was reported. The “Beneficial Ownership Limitation” shall be 9.99% of the number of shares of the Common Stock outstanding immediately after giving effect to the issuance of shares of Common Stock issuable upon conversion of this Note. The provisions of this paragraph shall be construed and implemented in a manner otherwise than in strict conformity with the terms of this Section 9 to correct this paragraph (or any portion hereof) which may be defective or inconsistent with the intended Beneficial Ownership Limitation herein contained or to make changes or supplements necessary or desirable to properly give effect to such limitation. The limitations contained in this paragraph shall apply to a successor holder of this Note.
10. Nothing contained in this Note shall be construed as conferring upon the Holder the right to vote or to receive dividends or to consent or receive notice as a shareholder in respect of any meeting of shareholders or any rights whatsoever as a shareholder of the Company, unless and to the extent converted in accordance with the terms hereof.
11. The terms and conditions of this Note shall inure to the benefit of and be binding upon the respective successors and assigns of the Company and the Holder.
12. Certain Definitions. For purposes of this Note, the following terms shall have the following meanings:
(a) “Affiliate” shall mean as applied to any Person, means any other Person directly or indirectly controlling, controlled by, or under common control with, that Person. For the purposes of this definition, “control” (including, with correlative meanings, the terms “controlling”, “controlled by” and “under common control with”), as applied to any Person, means the possession, directly or indirectly, of the power to direct or cause the direction of the management and policies of that Person, whether through the ownership of voting securities or by contract or otherwise. For purposes of this definition, a Person shall be deemed to be “controlled by” a Person if such latter Person possesses, directly or indirectly, power to vote 10% or more of the securities having ordinary voting power for the election of directors of such former Person.
2. (b) “Bloomberg” means Bloomberg Financial Markets.
3. (c) “Business Day” means any day other than Saturday, Sunday or other day on which commercial banks in The City of New York are authorized or required by law to remain closed.

June 28, 2016
Ladies and Gentlemen:
HPIL HOLDING, a Nevada corporation (the "Company") and Kodiak Capital Group, LLC (the "Investor") have entered into a Convertible Promissory Note dated as of June 28, 2016 (the "Agreement") in the principal amount of $215,000 (the "Note"). A copy of the Note is attached hereto. As the registrar and transfer agent for the Company’s common stock, par value $0.0001 per share (“Common Stock”), the Company requests that you familiarize yourself with your issuance and delivery obligations, as the Company’s transfer agent, contained in the Note. The shares to be issued are to be registered in the names of the registered holder of the securities submitted for conversion or exercise. Capitalized terms used but note defined in this instruction letter shall have the meanings ascribed to them in the Note.
You are hereby irrevocably authorized, directed, and instructed to reserve a sufficient number of shares of Common Stock to provide for the issuance of a number of share of Common Stock into which the Note is convertible (such shares, the “Conversion Shares”) equal to 2,150,000 shares of Common Stock (the “Reserved Amount”). The Reserved Amount may be increased, from time to time, by written instruction of the Investor.
The ability to convert the Note in a timely manner is a material obligation of the Company pursuant to the Note. Your firm is hereby irrevocably authorized and instructed to issue shares of Common Stock of the Company (without any restrictive legend) to the Investor without any further action or confirmation by the Company: upon your receipt from the Investor of: (i) a notice of conversion ("Conversion Notice") executed by the Investor; and (ii) an opinion of counsel of the Company or the Investor, in form, substance and scope customary for opinions of counsel in comparable transactions (and satisfactory to the transfer agent), to the effect that the shares of Common Stock of the Company issued to the Investor pursuant to the Conversion Notice are not "restricted securities" as defined in Rule 144 and should be issued to the Investor without any restrictive legend. The number of shares to be issued shall be less than 9.99% of the total issued common stock of the Company. If the number of shares issued to the Investor is greater than 9.99% of the total issued common stock of the company, the transfer agent must notify the Investor immediately.
In the event the Reserved Amount is insufficient to accommodate the number of Conversion Shares to be issued pursuant to a Conversion Notice, the Company agrees and directs that you issue the Conversion Shares that may be in excess of the Reserved Amount using all then available authorized but unissued shares of Common Stock.
The Company hereby requests that your firm act immediately, without delay and without the need for any action or confirmation by the Company with respect to the issuance of Common Stock pursuant to any Conversion Notices received from the Investor. The Company also requires that as long as this convertible note is still outstanding to the Investor, that the transfer agent must disclose the shares authorized, outstanding, and reserved to the Investor as requested.
The Company shall indemnify you and your officers, directors, principals, partners, agents and representatives (together, the “Indemnitees”), and hold each of them harmless from and against any and all loss, liability, damage, claim or expense (including the reasonable fees and disbursements of its attorneys) incurred by or asserted against you or any of them arising out of or in connection with the instructions set forth herein, the performance of your duties hereunder and otherwise in respect hereof, including the costs and expenses of defending yourself or themselves against any claim or liability hereunder, except that the Company shall not be liable hereunder as to matters in respect of which it is determined that an Indemnitee has acted with negligence, gross negligence or in bad faith. You shall have no liability to the Company in respect to any action taken or any failure to act in respect of this if such action was taken or omitted to be taken in good faith, and you shall be entitled to rely in this regard on the reasonable advice of counsel.
The Board of Directors of the Company has approved the foregoing (irrevocable instructions) and does hereby extend the Company’s irrevocable agreement to indemnify your firm for all loss, liability or expense in carrying out the authority and direction herein contained on the terms herein set forth.
Notwithstanding anything herein contained to the contrary, Bay City Transfer Agency & Registrar, Inc. is not a party to the Agreement and is acting only in the capacity of an administrator. In addition, the Company must be current in all amounts owed to Bay City Transfer Agency & Registrar, Inc. and in good standing with Bay City Transfer Agency & Registrar, Inc., before the issuance of any shares of the Common Stock hereunder. In the event of any dispute or ligation between the Company and the Investor as a result of the failure to be current in all amounts owed to Bay City Transfer Agency & Registrar, Inc. and in good standing with Bay City Transfer Agency & Registrar, Inc. which might cause a delay in the issuance of shares of the Common Stock hereunder, Bay City Transfer Agency & Registrar, Inc. shall not be included in any litigation between the Company and the Investor nor have any liability to the Company or the Investor. Should the Company be unable to pay any fee associated with an issuance to the Investor, the Investor may, at its own discretion, agree to pay such fee in order for the issuance to be administered.
The Company agrees that in the event that the Bay City Transfer Agency & Registrar, Inc. resigns as the Company’s transfer agent, the Company shall use its best efforts to engage a suitable replacement transfer agent that will agree to serve as transfer agent for the Company and be bound by the terms and conditions of these Irrevocable Instructions as soon as practicable.
The Investor is intended to be and are third party beneficiaries hereof, and no amendment or modification to the instructions set forth herein may be made without the consent of the Investor.
Very truly yours,
