UNSECURED CONVERTIBLE PROMISSORY NOTE
Principal Amount: $575,000 | Issue Date: December 17, 2015 |
MYOS Corporation, a Nevada corporation (the “Company”), for value received, promises to pay to the order of Gan Ren or its permitted assigns (the “Holder”), the principal sum of Five Hundred Seventy Five Thousand Dollars ($575,000) plus simple interest at the rate of eight percent (8%) per annum, or such lesser rate of interest as may be required by applicable laws regulating the legal rate of interest, on the Maturity Date (defined below), to the extent the principal and interest have not previously been converted into common stock of the Company pursuant to Section 5 hereof.
1. Maturity. This Note shall mature automatically and the entire outstanding principal amount, together with all interest accrued under this Note, shall be converted into shares of common stock of the Company at the Conversion Price (as defined below), on the date that is one (1) year from the Issuance Date set forth above (the “Maturity Date”) unless this Note, prior to such date, has been converted into shares of common stock of the Company pursuant to Section 5 hereof.
2. Payment of Principal and Interest. Interest on the Note shall accrue, beginning from the date of issuance, at an interest rate of 8% per annum (the “Interest Rate”) and shall accrue until the Note is converted or the Maturity Date. All payments are to be made at the address of Holder set forth under Section 17(i) of this Note or at such other place as Holder designates to the Company in writing. Interest under this Note shall be computed on the basis of a 365-day year.
3. Prepayment. Subject to conversion of this Note pursuant to Section 5, this Note may be prepaid in whole or in part at any time by the Company prior to the Maturity Date, without penalty. Any prepayment shall be first applied against any accrued and unpaid interest and then to reduce the amount of principal due under this Note. In the event of a prepayment, the Holder will have the right to convert the unpaid principal and accrued interest owing under this Note, in whole or in part, into fully-paid and non-assessable restricted shares of common stock of the Company at the Conversion Price (defined below), pursuant to Section 5.
4. Waiver of Presentment. The Company hereby expressly waives demand and presentment for payment, notice of nonpayment, protest, notice of protest, notice of dishonor, notice of acceleration or intent to accelerate, bringing of suit and diligence in taking any action to collect amounts called for hereunder and shall be directly and primarily liable for the payment of all sums owing and to be owing hereunder, regardless of and without any notice, diligence, act or omission as or with respect to the collection of any amount called for hereunder.
5. Conversion of Note. This Note may be converted into shares of common stock of the Company (the “Conversion Shares”) as set forth below.
a. | Conversion by the Holder. At any time prior to the Maturity Date, the Holder shall have the right to convert the unpaid principal and accrued interest owing under this Note, in whole or in part, into fully-paid and non-assessable restricted shares of common stock of the Company at the Conversion Price. The number of such shares of common stock that Holder shall be entitled to receive, and shall receive, upon such conversion shall be determined by dividing the amount of unpaid principal and accrued interest under this Note so being converted by the Conversion Price, with interest computed as of the Voluntary Conversion Date (defined below). The Holder’s election to convert this Note, in whole or in part, shall be irrevocable. |
The Holder shall exercise its right of conversion by forwarding the original Note, together with a Notice of Conversion, in the form attached hereto as Exhibit A, signed by the Holder, to the Company to notify the Company that the Holder is exercising its right to convert all or part of the unpaid principal and accrued interest due under this Note into restricted shares of common stock of the Company. The effective date of the conversion pursuant to this Section 5(a) shall be the date the Company receives the Notice of Conversion or the original Note (or if the original Note has been lost or destroyed, an affidavit of Holder certifying to such loss or destruction), whichever is later (such later date, being referred to herein as the “Voluntary Conversion Date”). Within five (5) business days of the Voluntary Conversion Date, the Company shall issue and deliver, or cause to be issued and delivered to the Holder, a certificate or certificates for the number of shares due to the Holder. |
b. | Conversion by the Company. If the Company consummates any portion of a financing with RENS Technology Inc. (the “Financing”) prior to the Maturity Date, then, so long as the price of the common stock is at or above $2.75 per share, the Company may elect to convert the unpaid principal and accrued interest owing under this Note, in whole or in part, into fully-paid and non-assessable shares of common stock of the Company at the Conversion Price. The number of such shares of common stock that Holder shall be entitled to receive, and shall receive, upon such conversion shall be determined by dividing the amount of unpaid principal and accrued interest under this Note so being converted by the Conversion Price, with interest computed as of the Mandatory Conversion Date (defined below). The Company’s election to convert this Note, in whole or in part, shall be irrevocable. | |
The Company shall exercise its right of conversion by forwarding: (i) a Notice of Conversion, in the form attached hereto as Exhibit B, signed by the Chief Executive Officer or Chief Financial Officer of the Company, to the Holder, notifying the Holder that the Company is exercising its right to convert this Note into shares of common stock of the Company and the effective date of conversion (the “Mandatory Conversion Date”), which Mandatory Conversion Date shall be the closing date of the Financing and (ii) the certificate for the number of shares due to the Holder. The Holder agrees to use its best efforts to return the original Note (or if the original Note has been lost or destroyed, to provide an affidavit certifying to such loss or destruction) to the Company within thirty (30) calendar days following receipt of the Notice of Conversion. Following the Mandatory Conversion Date, the Note or any portion thereof that was converted pursuant to this Section 5(b) shall be deemed void and of no further force or effect. |
c. | Conversion Price. Subject to adjustment as provided below, the “Conversion Price” shall equal $2.75 per share. |
d. | Partial Conversion. If either the Holder or the Company elects to convert only a portion of the unpaid principal and accrued interest owing under this Note, the Company shall issue and deliver, or cause to be issued and delivered to the Holder, a new note of like tenor for the remaining unpaid principal and accrued interest of this Note. The Holder and the Company shall maintain records showing the principal and interest so converted and the dates of such conversions. |
e. | Stock Certificates. Upon conversion into common stock, the Company shall issue and deliver to Holder, or to Holder’s nominee or nominees, a certificate or certificates representing the number of restricted shares of common stock to which Holder shall be entitled as a result of conversion as provided herein. The certificate shall bear the following legend: |

“THE SECURITIES REPRESENTED BY THIS CERTIFICATE HAVE NOT BEEN REGISTERED UNDER THE SECURITIES ACT OF 1933, AS AMENDED, OR THE SECURITIES LAWS OF ANY STATE AND MAY NOT BE SOLD, TRANSFERRED, HYPOTHECATED OR OTHERWISE ASSIGNED EXCEPT PURSUANT TO A REGISTRATION STATEMENT WITH RESPECT TO SUCH SECURITIES WHICH IS EFFECTIVE UNDER SUCH ACT AND UNDER ANY APPLICABLE STATE SECURITIES LAWS UNLESS, IN THE OPINION OF COUNSEL REASONABLY SATISFACTORY TO THE COMPANY, AN EXEMPTION FROM THE REGISTRATION REQUIREMENTS OF SUCH ACT AND STATE SECURITIES LAWS IS AVAILABLE.” |
f. | Adjustment for Stock Splits and Combinations. If the Company, at any time while this Note is outstanding: (A) pays a stock dividend or otherwise makes a distribution or distributions in shares of its common stock or any other equity or equity equivalent securities payable in shares of common stock, (B) subdivides outstanding shares of common stock into a larger number of shares, (C) combines (including by way of reverse stock split) outstanding shares of common stock into a smaller number of shares, or (D) issues by 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 treasury shares, if any) outstanding before such event and of which the denominator shall be the number of shares of common stock outstanding after such event. Any adjustment made pursuant to this section 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. |
g. | Effect of Conversion. Upon conversion of this Note in full in the manner provided by this Section 5, this Note shall be deemed fully satisfied and cancelled. |
h. | Disputes. In the event of a dispute as to the number of shares of common stock issuable to the Holder in connection with a conversion of this Note, the Company shall issue to the Holder the number of shares of common stock not in dispute and resolve such dispute in accordance with Section 13. |

If for any reason payment of any amount required under this Note shall be prohibited by law, then the obligation shall be reduced to the maximum allowable by law. If for any reason Holder receives as interest an amount that would exceed the highest lawful rate, then the amount which would constitute excessive interest shall be applied to the reduction of the principal of this Note and not to the payment of interest. If any conflict arises between this provision and any provision of any other agreement between the Company and Holder, then this provision shall control.
(d) Legal Representation. Holder agrees and represents that such party has been represented by such party's own legal counsel with regard to all aspects of this Note, or if such party is acting without legal counsel, that such party has had adequate opportunity and has been encouraged to seek the advice of such party's own legal counsel prior to the execution of this Note.
(e) Restrictions. Holder acknowledges that all shares of common stock acquired upon the conversion of this Note shall be subject to restrictions on resale imposed by state and federal securities laws.
(f) Assignment. Subject to restrictions on resale imposed by state and federal securities laws, Holder may assign this Note or any of the rights, interests or obligations hereunder, by operation of law or otherwise, in whole or in part, to any person or entity so long as such assignee agrees to be bound by the terms and conditions of the agreement (including the representations and warranties of the Holder therein). Effective upon any such assignment, the person or entity to whom such rights, interests and obligations are assigned shall have and exercise all of Holder’s rights, interests and obligations hereunder as if such person or entity were the original Holder of this Note.
(g) Construction; Headings. This Note shall be deemed to be jointly drafted by the Company and the Holder and shall not be construed against any Person as the drafter hereof. The headings of this Note are for convenience of reference and shall not form part of, or affect the interpretation of, this Note.
5 |
(h) Failure or Indulgence Not Waiver. No failure or delay on the part of the Holder in the exercise of any power, right or privilege hereunder shall operate as a waiver thereof, nor shall any single or partial exercise of any such power, right or privilege preclude other or further exercise thereof or of any other right, power or privilege. No waiver shall be effective unless it is in writing and signed by an authorized representative of the waiving party.
(i) Notices. All notices, demands, consents, requests, instructions and other communications to be given or delivered or permitted under or by reason of the provisions of this Note shall be in writing and shall be deemed to be delivered and received by the intended recipient as follows: (i) if personally delivered, on the business day of such delivery (as evidenced by the receipt of the personal delivery service), (ii) if delivered by overnight courier (with all charges having been prepaid), on the business day of such delivery (as evidenced by the receipt of the overnight courier service of recognized standing), or (iii) if delivered by facsimile or electronic transmission, on the business day of such delivery if sent by 6:00 p.m. in the time zone of the recipient, or if sent after that time, on the next succeeding business day (as evidenced by the printed confirmation of delivery generated by the sending party’s telecopier machine).
