CONVERTIBLE PROMISSORY NOTE CONVERSION AGREEMENT

 

This CONVERTIBLE PROMISSORY NOTE CONVERSION AGREEMENT (this “Agreement”) is entered into and effective as of September 27, 2013 (the “Effective Date”) by and among the undersigned, each of whom have executed the Note Holder signature pages attached hereto as Annex A (each, a “Note Holder” and collectively, the “Note Holders”), and REVEN HOUSING REIT, INC., a Colorado corporation (the “Company”), with reference to the following facts:

 

A. Concurrently with the transactions contemplated by this Agreement, the Company is entering into a Stock Purchase Agreement with certain accredited investors providing for sale and issuance of up to Twenty-Five Million Dollars ($25,000,000) of the Company’s common stock, par value $0.001 per share (the “Common Stock”) in a private placement transaction (the “Financing”). The Financing contemplates an initial closing of no less than Eleven Million Dollars ($11,000,000) of total purchase price (the “Initial Closing”).

 

B. Each Note Holder has previously purchased one or more 10% Convertible Promissory Note issued by the Company in the aggregate principal amount as to each Note Holder as set forth on Schedule I to the Note Holder signature pages attached hereto as Annex A (each, a “Note,” and collectively, the “Notes”) in the Company’s 2012-2013 convertible note financing (the “Bridge Financing”).

 

C. In connection with the transactions contemplated by the Stock Purchase Agreement, and concurrently with the Initial Closing, each Note Holder desires to convert all of the outstanding principal under such Note Holder’s Note, directly into shares of the Common Stock (the “Shares”), in accordance with the terms and conditions of this Agreement.

 

Each Note Holder also agrees to be paid back by the Company all of the accrued and unpaid interest as indicated on such Note Holder’s signature page hereto and calculated as of the Initial Closing,

 

NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the mutual promises herein, and for other good and valuable consideration, the receipt and sufficiency of which is acknowledge, the parties hereby agree as follows:

(b)               The Company agrees to pay to the Note Holders all of the accrued and unpaid interest under the Notes, calculated as of the Initial Closing (the “Interest Payment”).

 

Each Note Holder agrees that upon the conversion of its Note in accordance with this Section 1.2 and the payment by the Company to any Note Holder who does not elect to convert all of such Note Holder’s principal under such Note Holder’s Note pursuant to Section 1.2(a) above that portion of the principal amount note being converted (the “Principal Payment”), the Note and all of the Company’s obligations thereunder shall be deemed to have been satisfied in full and the Note shall be extinguished.

 

The Company shall issue to the Note Holders the Conversion Shares and shall make the Interest Payments and any Principal Payments to the Note Holders within three (3) business days of the Initial Closing.

 

Section 1.3.            Closing. The transactions contemplated by this Agreement shall occur on the date of the Initial Closing (the “Closing Date”).

 

Article II
Representations and Warranties of the Note Holders

 

Each Note Holder severally represents and warrants to the Company, with respect to the Notes individually owned by such Note Holder, as designated on the Note Holder signature pages attached hereto, the following, each of which shall be true as of the Effective Date and the Closing Date:

 

Section 2.1.            Good Title. The Note Holder is the record and beneficial holder of the Note issued by the Company as set forth below such Note Holder’s name on the Note Holder signature pages attached hereto as Annex A. The Note Holder holds the respective Note free and clear of all liens, security interests, pledges, equities and claims of any kind, voting trusts, stockholder agreements and other encumbrances other than restrictions under the Federal securities laws.

 

Section 2.2.            Power and Authority. This Agreement constitutes a legal, valid and binding obligation of the Note Holder, enforceable against such Note Holder in accordance with the terms hereof, except as may be limited by bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization, moratorium and other similar laws and equity principles related to or limiting creditors’ rights generally and by general principals of equity.

 

Section 2.3.            No Conflicts. The execution and delivery of this Agreement by the Note Holder and the performance by the Note Holder of any obligations hereunder in accordance with the terms hereof: (i) will not require the consent of any third party or any federal, state, local or foreign government or any court of competent jurisdiction, administrative agency or commission or other governmental authority or instrumentality, domestic or foreign under any statutes, laws, ordinances, rules, regulations, orders, writs, injunctions, judgments, or decrees (collectively, “Laws”); (ii) will not violate any Laws applicable to such Note Holder and (iii) will not violate or breach any contractual obligation to which such Note Holder is a party.

Section 2.4.            Investment Purpose. Each Note Holder is acquiring the Securities for its own account for investment only and not with a view towards, or for resale in connection with, the public sale or distribution thereof, except pursuant to sales registered or exempted under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”); provided, however, that by making the representations herein, each Note Holder reserves the right to dispose of the Securities at any time in accordance with or pursuant to an effective registration statement covering such Securities or an available exemption under the Securities Act.

 

Section 2.5.            Accredited Investor Status. Each Note Holder is an “accredited investor” as that term is defined in Rule 501(a) (3) of Regulation D, as promulgated under the Securities Act.

 

Section 2.6.            Reliance on Exemptions. Each Note Holder understands that the Securities are being offered and sold to it in reliance on specific exemptions from the registration requirements of United States federal and state securities Laws and that the Company is relying in part upon the truth and accuracy of, and each Note Holder’s compliance with, the representations, warranties, agreements, acknowledgments and understandings of each Note Holder set forth herein in order to determine the availability of such exemptions and the eligibility of each Note Holder to acquire the Securities.

 

Section 2.7.            Information. Each Note Holder and its advisors, if any, have been furnished with all materials relating to the business, finances and operations of the Company and information each Note Holder deemed material to making an informed investment decision regarding its purchase of the Securities, which have been requested by each Note Holder. Each Note Holder and its advisors, if any, have been afforded the opportunity to ask questions of the Company and its management. Each Note Holder understands that its investment in the Securities involves a high degree of risk. Each Note Holder is in a position regarding the Company, which, based upon employment, family relationship or economic bargaining power, enabled and enables such Note Holder to obtain information from the Company in order to evaluate the merits and risks of this investment. Each Note Holder has sought such accounting, legal and tax advice as it has considered necessary to make an informed investment decision with respect to its acquisition of the Securities.

 

Section 2.8.            No Governmental Review. Each Note Holder understands that no United States federal or state Governmental Authority has passed on or made any recommendation or endorsement of the Securities, or the fairness or suitability of the investment in the Securities, nor have such Governmental Authorities passed upon or endorsed the merits of the offering of the Securities.

 

Section 2.9.            Restricted Securities. The Note Holder understands that the Securities are characterized as “restricted securities” under the Securities Act inasmuch as the Securities are being offered in a transaction not involving a public offering. The Note Holder further acknowledges that the Securities may not be resold without registration under the Securities Act or the existence of an exemption therefrom. The Note Holder represents that he, she or it is familiar with Rule 144 promulgated under the Securities Act, as presently in effect, and understands the resale limitations imposed thereby and by the Securities Act.
