No additional amounts may be tendered hereunder except for amounts due under this Note. The amount that may be borrowed by Borrower from Lender pursuant to this Note is not limited. This Note and all schedules and exhibits attached thereto are hereinafter referred to as the Transaction Documents.

 

1.Payment and Advance Terms.
(a)Payment and Advance Terms. Borrower shall pay to Lender the entire principal balance under this Note on or before April 15, 2018 (the “Maturity Date”). Borrower shall pay all amounts due under this Note in lawful money of the United States of America and without set-off, deduction, demand or notice. On or before the Maturity date, from time to time Lender may offer, and Borrower may accept, advances in cash, in kind, via tender of other debts of Borrower held by Lender, or other form. Any advances shall be added to the then outstanding principal hereunder and interest shall accrue on such advances from the date they are received by Borrower.
(b)Exchange of Loan Obligation. All or any portion of the then outstanding principal of this Note (“Exchanged Amount”) may be exchanged for shares of Borrower’s common stock (“Shares”) at the election of the Lender at any time prior to the Maturity Date by giving written notice in the form attached as Annex A. In exchange for each $1 of the Exchanged Amount so exchanged, Lender shall receive a number of Shares equal to the Exchanged Amount divided by the Exchange Price. The Exchange Price shall be equal to the volume-weighted average closing price of the Borrower’s common stock for the 20 trading days immediately prior to the date of notice by Lender (the “Exchange Date”) as reported on the NASD OTCBB, Pinksheets, or other market where Borrower’s common stock is then quoted for trading, provided that in the event no such quoted market exists, the Exchange Price shall be determined according to an independent appraisal ratified by the disinterested members of the Borrower’s board of directors, or if there are no disinterested members then the board acting unanimously. An election made by the Lender to exchange amounts owed hereunder for Shares cannot be revoked by Lender without the written consent of Borrower. The Borrower shall issue and deliver to the Lender the Shares within 5 business days of receiving notice from Lender. Should such Notice of Conversion represent all of the remaining obligations due hereunder, Lender shall deliver to Borrower the original Note marked “paid in full.”
(c)Mandatory Conversion. Any unpaid principal due hereunder upon the Maturity Date shall automatically be exchanged for Shares upon the terms described in Section 1(b) above using the Maturity Date as the Exchange Date, without requiring the additional consent of Lender or Borrower.
 
 

 

(d)          Warrant. Upon payment of all Principal and other amounts that may be owing under this Note, including mandatory conversion at Maturity Date under Section 1(c), Borrower shall deliver to Lender a Warrant in a form substantially similar to the attached Exhibit B.

 

2.Interest. All unpaid principle balances under this Note shall bear interest (the “Interest Rate”) at a rate equal to five-percent (5%) per annum. Interest shall be computed on the actual number of days elapsed (including the first day but excluding the last day) on the basis of a three hundred sixty-five (365) day year. Interest shall be payable on the Maturity Date.
3.

 

Application of Payments. Payments will be applied first to any costs and expenses (including reasonable attorneys' fees) incurred by Lender in connection with the collection of amounts owing pursuant to this Note, and then to reduction of principal. All payments shall be made to Lender at the above-specified address until receipt of notice from Lender to the contrary.
4.

 

Default Rate. Upon the occurrence of an Event of Default, Lender shall be entitled to receive, and Borrower shall pay to Lender, interest on the outstanding principal balance and any other advances or charges advanced by Lender at a per annum rate equal to the lesser of (a) twelve percent (12%), or (b) the maximum interest rate which Borrower may by law pay (the “Default Rate”). The Default Rate shall be computed from the occurrence of the Event of Default until the earlier of the date upon which the Event of Default is cured or the date upon which due and owing under this Note are paid in full. The preceding sentence, however, shall not be construed as an agreement or privilege to extend the date of the any payment due hereunder, or as a waiver of any other right or remedy accruing to Lender by reason of the occurrence of any Event of Default.
5.

 

Prepayment. Borrower shall have the right to prepay this Note in whole or in part by providing 30 calendar days advance written notice to Lender. During this period and until the end of the 30 day notice period, Lender may at its sole discretion elect to exercise the exchange rights provided for in Section 1 (b) herein.

6.

Security Interest. This Note is unsecured.
7.Default. Any one of the following occurrences shall constitute an “Event of Default” under this Unsecured Revolving Credit Note provided that Lender shall be required to give written notice of same:
(a)The failure of Borrower to repay all outstanding principal or accrued interest on or before the Maturity Date;
(b)The failure of Borrower to promptly perform any obligation of Borrower under or the existence of an Event of Default as defined in any Transaction Document within thirty (30) days of notice from Lender; or
(c)Borrower becomes insolvent, bankrupt or generally fails to pay its debts as such debts become due; is adjudicated insolvent or bankrupt; admits in writing its inability to pay its debts; or shall suffer a custodian, receiver or trustee for it or substantially all of its property to be appointed and if appointed without its consent, not be discharged within sixty (60) consecutive days; makes an assignment for the benefit of creditors; or suffers proceedings under any law related to bankruptcy, insolvency, liquidation or the reorganization, readjustment or the release of debtors to be instituted against it and if contested by it not dismissed or stayed within sixty (60) consecutive days; if proceedings under any law related to bankruptcy, insolvency, liquidation, or the reorganization, readjustment or the release of debtors is instituted or commenced by or against Borrower; if any order for relief is entered relating to any of the foregoing proceedings; if Borrower shall call a meeting of its creditors with a view to arranging a composition or adjustment of its debts; or if Borrower shall by any act or failure to act indicate its consent to, approval of or acquiescence in any of the foregoing.

8.Remedies. Upon the happening and during the continuation of any Event of Default, (i) Lender may, at its sole option, declare the entire principal immediately due and payable in full; (ii) interest shall accrue on all amounts due hereunder at the Default Rate until paid in full or such Event of Default is cured; and (iii) Lender shall have and may exercise any and all rights and remedies available hereunder, at law and in equity, together with any and all rights and remedies provided in any Transaction Document. The acceptance of any installment or payment after the occurrence of an Event of Default or event giving rise to the right of acceleration provided for herein shall not constitute a waiver of such right of acceleration with respect to such Event of Default or event or any subsequent Event of Default. The remedies of Lender, as provided herein or in any Transaction Document, shall be cumulative and concurrent, and may be pursued singularly, successively or together, at the sole discretion of Lender, and may be exercised as often as occasion therefore shall arise. Any act, omission or commission of Lender, including, specifically, any failure to exercise any right, remedy or recourse, shall be released and be effected only through a written document executed by Lender and then only to the extent specifically recited therein. A waiver or release with reference to any one event shall not be construed as continuing, as a bar to, or as a waiver or release of, any subsequent right, remedy or recourse as to a subsequent event.
9.Collection Costs. If one or more Events of Default (or any event which with notice or passage of time or both would constitute an Event of Default) hereunder shall occur and continues, Borrower promises to pay all collection costs, including but not limited to all reasonable attorneys' fees, court costs, and expenses of every kind, incurred by Lender in connection with such collection or the protection or enforcement of any or all of the security for this Note, whether or not any lawsuit is filed with respect thereto (including costs and reasonable attorneys’ fees on any appeals or in any bankruptcy proceedings).
10.Miscellaneous.
(a)Successors and Assigns. This Note inures to the benefit of Lender and its successors or assigns, and binds Borrower, and its respective permitted successors and assigns, and the words “Lender” and “Borrower” whenever occurring herein shall be deemed and construed to include such respective successors and assigns.
(b)Severability. Any term or provision of this Note that is held by a court of competent jurisdiction or other authority to be invalid, void or unenforceable in any situation or in any jurisdiction shall not affect the validity or enforceability of the remaining terms and provisions or the validity or enforceability of the invalid, void or unenforceable term or provision in any other situation or in any other jurisdiction. If the final judgment of a court of competent jurisdiction or other authority declares that any term or provision of this Note is invalid, void or unenforceable, the parties agree that the court making such determination shall have the power to and shall, subject to the discretion of such court, reduce the scope, duration, area or applicability of the term or provision, to delete specific words or phrases, or to replace any invalid, void or unenforceable term or provision with a term or provision that is valid and enforceable and that comes closest to expressing the intention of the invalid or unenforceable term or provision.

If the Shares are not traded in a public market, the Board of Directors of the Company shall determine fair market value in its reasonable good faith judgment. The foregoing notwithstanding, if Holder advises the Board of Directors in writing that Holder disagrees with such determination, then the Company and Holder shall promptly agree upon a reputable investment banking or public accounting firm to undertake such valuation. If the valuation of such investment banking firm is greater than that determined by the Board of Directors, then all fees and expenses of such investment banking firm  shall be paid by the company. In all other circumstances, such fees and expenses shall be paid by Holder.

 

 
 

 

 

1.5 Delivery of Certificate and New Warrant.

2.2 Reclassification, Exchange or Substitution. Upon any reclassification, exchange, substitution, or other event that results in a change of the number and/or class of the securities issuable upon exercise or conversion of this Warrant, Holder shall be entitled to receive, upon exercise or conversion of this Warrant, the number and kind of securities and property that Holder would have received for the shares if this Warrant had been exercised immediately before such reclassification, exchange, substitution, or other event.

If the Company takes any action affecting the Shares or its common stock other than as described above that adversely affects Holder’s rights under this Warrant, the Warrant Price shall be adjusted downward and the number of Shares issuable upon exercise of this Warrant shall be adjusted upward in such a manner that the aggregate Warrant price of this Warrant is unchanged.

 

2.6 Fractional Shares. No fractional Shares shall be issuable upon exercise or conversion of the Warrant and the number of Shares to be issued shall be rounded down to the nearest whole Share. If a fractional share interest arises upon any exercise or conversion of the Warrant, the Company shall eliminate such fractional share interest by paying Holder amount computed by multiplying the fractional interest by the fair market value of a full Share.

 

 
 

 

 

2.7 Certificate as to Adjustments. Upon each adjustment of the Warrant Price, the Company at its expense shall promptly compute such adjustment, and furnish Holder with a certificate of its Chief Financial officer setting forth such adjustment and the facts upon which such adjustment is based.
