CONVERTIBLE PROMISSORY NOTE

 

$500,000.00 Date of issuance: July 12, 2019

 

WHEREAS, JP Outfitters, LLC, a Delaware limited liability company (the “Company”) is desirous of pursuing a license agreement with Guideboat Acquisition LLC, a Delaware limited liability company agreement to manufacture and sell its products and is of the opinion that the incremental sales will help the Company improve its profitability. AsiaMax Holdings Limited, a Hong Kong limited company or one of its affiliates (the “Payee”) is interested in supporting the Company in return for the sales of Guideboat to be included in the definition of Gross Sales in the License Agreement executed on about May 31, 2019 between them (the “License Agreement”).

 

THEREFORE, the parties agree as follows:

 

Subject to receipt of a $500,000 loan from Payee on or before July 15, 2019 (Payee and any subsequent holder(s), collectively the “Holder”), the Company, hereby promises to pay to the order of Holder, the principal sum of Five Hundred Thousand Dollars ($500,000.00) (the “Principal”), together with cash interest of six percent (6%) per annum on the outstanding principal balance from the date Payee funds the Principal until this Note has been indefeasibly paid in full. Interest will be computed on the basis of a 360-day year and actual days elapsed. Interest shall begin to accrue 90 days from the receipt of the above referenced loan and then shall be paid quarterly on the first business day of each quarter for interest earned in the previous quarter. The outstanding principal shall be due in full on June 30, 2021 (the “Maturity Date”).

 

1. Prepayment. The Company shall not prepay this Note without the prior written consent of the Holder.

 

 

 

 

2. Optional Conversion. In the event that (i) the Company has not achieved a Net Profit of at least $200,000, calculated in accordance with U.S. Generally Accepted Accounting Principles, by December 31, 2019; and in every six months thereafter through the end of March 31, 2021 (individually and each a “Net Profit Default”), or (ii) the Company defaults under the terms of this Note (“CN Default”), or (iii) the Company has any uncured defaults after fourteen calendar days of having been served written notice of default under the License Agreement (“Trade Default”), and such Net Profit Default, CN Default or Trade Default (individually a “Default” or collectively “Defaults”) occurs on or before June 29, 2021 (“Final Conversion Date”), or (iv) the Company and the Holder otherwise mutually agree in writing, then the Holder shall have the option to convert the Principal of this Convertible Promissory Note hereunder into fifty-one percent (51%) of the membership interests of the Company on a fully diluted basis. Such option may be exercised at any time prior to the Final Conversion Date even though one or more Defaults may have occurred at any time prior to the Final Conversion Date. The occurrence of one or more Defaults shall not be subject to being remedied by actions that occur after any such Default occurs. The failure of the Holder to exercise the option to convert prior to June 29, 2021 after one or more Defaults occur shall not constitute an estoppel or constitute a waiver which would prevent the Holder from later exercising the option to convert. The Holder may exercise the option to convert by notifying the Members and Managers of the Company in writing and electronic mail is an acceptable form of delivery of such notice, provided that it is followed with written notice delivered via mail or courier.
