US$500,000.00 October 25, 2021

 

FOR VALUE RECEIVED ONCOTELIC THERAPEUTICS, INC., a Delaware Corporation (the “Company”), promises to pay to Golden Mountain Partners, LLC, a California Limited Liability Company (the “Holder”), in lawful money of the United States of America, the principal amount of FIVE HUNDRED THOUSAND DOLLARS (US$500,000), together with interest on the unpaid principal balance, in the manner provided below.

 

1. Purchase Agreement. This unsecured convertible promissory note (the “Note”) is issued to Holder pursuant to the terms of that certain Unsecured Convertible Note Purchase Agreement between Company and Holder, of even date herewith, as it may be amended from time to time (the “Agreement”).

 

2. Draws. Subject to the terms and conditions set forth in this Note and the Agreement, Holder shall disburse to Company an aggregate disbursement of US$500,000, on the dates and in the instalment amounts set forth in Schedule 3.2 (Disbursements) of the Agreement.

 

3. Maturity. Unless sooner paid or converted in accordance with the terms hereof, the entire unpaid principal balance of the Note and all unpaid accrued interest thereon shall become fully due and payable on (a) the one year anniversary of the date of the Agreement, or (b) the acceleration of the maturity of this Note by Holder upon occurrence of an Event of Default (as defined below) (such date, the “Maturity Date”).

 

4. Payments.

 

(a) Form of Payment. All payments of interest and principal (other than payment by way of conversion) shall be in lawful money of the United States of America to Holder, by ACH transfer according to Receiving Bank and ABA Routing Number information as may be specified from time to time by Holder.

 

(b) Interest Payments. Company shall pay to Holder accrued but unpaid interest upon the payment of the full outstanding principal amount.

 

(c) Prepayment. Company shall have the right to prepay any and all amounts owed under this Note in whole or in part at any time subject to Section 6 (Conversion Right) below, provided that any such prepayment amount must be accompanied by the accrued and unpaid interest on the principal being prepaid through the date of prepayment.

 

5. Interest. Interest shall accrue on the unpaid principal balance of this Note at the rate of two percent (2%) per annum. Interest shall be calculated on the basis of a year of 365 days, and charged for the actual number of days elapsed. Interest shall commence with the date hereof and shall continue on the outstanding principal of this Note until paid or converted in accordance with the provisions hereof.

 

6. Conversion Right. At any time prior to repayment of this Note, Holder may elect, in lieu of repayment, to convert all or a portion of the outstanding principal on this Note into that number of shares of Common Stock of Company equal to the quotient obtained by dividing (a) 100.0% of the principal on this Note being converted by (b) the Conversion Price (as hereinafter defined). Holder will inform Company of such election by delivering to Company this Note and a Notice of Conversion, the form of which is attached hereto as Schedule A (a “Notice of Conversion”).

For purposes of this Note, “Conversion Price” means the consolidated closing bid price of Company’s Common Stock as determined by applicable OTC rules (or exchange where the Common Stock of Company is then traded), as of the date Company receives a Notice of Conversion from Holder.

 

Holder shall effect conversions by delivering to Company a Notice of Conversion accompanied by this Note, specifying therein the principal amount of this Note to be converted. The date on which such conversion shall be effected (such date, the “Conversion Date”) shall be the date of Company’s actual receipt of a Notice of Conversion, accompanied by this Note unless Company and Holder agree in writing to another date. Conversions hereunder shall have the effect of lowering the outstanding principal amount of this Note in an amount equal to the applicable principal amount converted. If less than the entire principal amount of this Note is converted, Company will promptly issue a new Note to Holder representing the balance of this Note. From and after the Conversion Date, the portion of this Note converted shall represent and be enforceable only as to the right to receive the shares of Common Stock issuable upon such conversion.

 

Promptly after receipt of a Notice of Conversion, Company shall issue and deliver to Holder, but only against delivery of and after receiving the original of this Note (or a lost note affidavit in the form and substance reasonably acceptable to Company), one or more certificates representing such shares of Common Stock issued and registered as set forth in the Notice of Conversion. Thereupon, Company shall have no further obligation with respect to the principal amount of this Note converted. ln lieu of issuing a fraction of a share of Common Stock upon the conversion of this Note, Company shall pay Holder for any fraction of a share of Common Stock otherwise issuable upon the conversion of this Note, cash equal to the same fraction of the then current per share Conversion Price.

For purposes of this Note, a “Change in Control Transaction” means (i) a sale, lease or other disposition of assets or properties of Company or its subsidiaries (calculated on a consolidated basis) having a book value of fifty-one percent (51%) or more of the book value of all the assets and properties thereof, or (ii) any transaction in which any person or entity shall directly or indirectly acquire from the holders thereof, by purchase or in a merger, consolidation or other transfer or exchange of outstanding capital stock, ownership or control over capital stock of Company or any of its subsidiaries (or securities exchangeable for or convertible into such stock or interests) entitled to elect a majority of such entity’s Board of Directors or representing at least fifty-one percent (51%) of the number of shares of Common Stock outstanding; or
