PROMISSORY NOTE SETTLEMENT AGREEMENT
THIS PROMISSORY NOTE SETTLEMENT AGREEMENT (this “Agreement”) is entered into as of September 26, 2014, by and between TNI BioTech, Inc., a Florida corporation (the “Company”), and Robert Dailey (the “Holder”).
RECITALS
WHEREAS, the Company and Holder entered into three Promissory Notes dated March 11, 2013, April 25, 2013 and February 6, 2014 (collectively, the “Notes”) for the total principal amount under the Notes equaling $399,000 (the “Principal Amount”);
WHEREAS, as of the date of this Agreement, the Company has accrued $8,445.82 of unpaid interest on the Principal Amount (collectively with the Principal Amount, the “Balance”);
WHEREAS, the Company desires to pay the Balance through the issuance of shares of its common stock, par value $0.0001 (the “Common Stock”) per share, and the Holder desires to accept shares of the Company’s Common Stock in full satisfaction of the Balance pursuant to the terms and conditions of this Agreement;
WHEREAS, as of the date of this Agreement, the Company owes the Holder 100,000 shares of its Common Stock under the Note for not satisfying in full the payment of the Principal Amount by the maturity date set forth in the Note (the “Penalty Shares”); and
WHEREAS, the Company desires to issue the Penalty Shares to the Holder pursuant to the terms and conditions of this Agreement.
NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the foregoing, the covenants herein contained and other good and valuable consideration, the receipt and sufficiency of which are hereby acknowledged, the Company and Holder agree as follows:
1. Payment of the Balance.
(a) Valuation of Common Stock. The Company and Holder agree that, notwithstanding anything in the Note to the contrary, for the purpose of paying the Balance, each share of the Company’s Common Stock shall be valued at $0.10 per share (the “Per Share Value”). The Company and Holder determined the Per Share Value through negotiation and, as such, the parties recognize, acknowledge and agree that the Per Share Value may not be indicative of the true value of a share of the Company’s Common Stock.
(b) Issuance of Shares. Based on the Per Share Value, subject to the satisfaction of the terms and conditions set forth in this Agreement, the Company shall issue and deliver to Holder a stock certificate or stock certificates representing (i) 4,074,458 shares of the Company’s Common Stock in full satisfaction of the Balance (the “Settlement Shares”), and (ii) the 100,000 Penalty Shares. The stock certificate(s) for the Settlement Shares and the Penalty Shares shall bear a restrictive legend substantially in the form as follows:
“THE SECURITIES REPRESENTED HEREBY HAVE NOT BEEN REGISTERED UNDER THE SECURITIES ACT OF 1933, AS AMENDED (THE “1933 ACT”), OR APPLICABLE STATE SECURITIES LAWS. THESE SECURITIES MAY NOT BE OFFERED FOR SALE, SOLD, TRANSFERRED OR ASSIGNED IN THE ABSENCE OF (A) AN EFFECTIVE REGISTRATION STATEMENT FOR THE SECURITIES UNDER THE 1933 ACT, OR (B) AN OPINION OF COUNSEL (REASONABLY SATISFACTORY TO THE COMPANY), THAT REGISTRATION IS NOT REQUIRED UNDER SAID 1933 ACT.”

2. Cancellation of the Note. Holder hereby assigns, transfers and surrenders for cancellation the Note to the Company. Simultaneously with the execution of this Agreement, Holder shall deliver to the Company the Note, duly endorsed as terminated and cancelled.

This Agreement has been duly and validly executed and delivered by the Company and, assuming the due execution and delivery of this Agreement by Holder, shall constitute the valid and legally binding obligation of the Company, enforceable against the Company in accordance with its terms, except as limited by bankruptcy, moratorium, fraudulent transfer, reorganization and other laws of general applicability affecting the rights and remedies of creditors and by general equitable principles (whether considered in a proceeding in equity or at law).
(c) Settlement Shares and Penalty Shares. Once issued in accordance with the terms of this Agreement, the Settlement Shares and the Penalty Shares shall be duly authorized, validly issued, fully paid and non-assessable shares of the Company’s Common Stock.
