THIS AMENDMENT (this “Amendment”) is dated April 4, 2014 (the “Amendment Date”)
BETWEEN:
NAKED BRAND GROUP INC., formerly Search By Xxxxxxxxx.xxx Corp. (“NBGI”), a Nevada corporation, and NAKED INC., formerly Naked Boxer Brief Clothing Inc. (“Naked”), a Nevada corporation, both having an office for notice at 0-00000 Xxxxxxxxxxxxx Xxx, Xxxxxxxxxx, XX X0X 0X0 |
(together, the “Borrowers”) |
AND:
Each of the persons listed on Annex I to this Amendment under the heading “Lender” |
(each, a “ Lender” and collectively, the “Lenders” or the “Kalamalka Lenders”) |
WHEREAS:
A. |
Naked is a wholly-owned subsidiary of NBGI operating a product manufacturing and distribution business for men’s clothing products. |
B. |
The Borrowers have issued certain secured convertible promissory notes (the “Promissory Notes” or the “Kalamalka Notes”; capitalized terms used but not otherwise defined herein shall have the meanings ascribed to them in the Promissory Notes) in the aggregate principal sum of $200,000 (the “Indebtedness”) to the Lenders in connection with that certain Agency and Interlender Agreement, dated as of November 14, 2013, among the Borrowers, Kalamalka Partners Ltd., as agent (the “Agent”), and each of the Lenders; and NBGI has issued to the Agent and the Lenders certain warrants to purchase shares of common stock of NBGI (“Common Stock”). |
C. |
Naked requires additional funds to expand its inventory and sales operations, and, in order to raise funds for that purpose, NBGI desires to issue certain secured convertible promissory notes (the “Bridge Notes”) to a group of accredited investors (as defined in applicable U.S. federal securities legislation) (the “Bridge Investors”) in connection with an agency and interlender agreement to be dated as of even date herewith (the “Bridge Financing Transaction”). |
D. |
Following the issuance of the Xxxxxx Xxxxx, XXXX intends to complete a round of equity financing through a private placement (the “Offering”) of certain secured convertible debentures (the “Offering Debentures”). |
E. |
In connection with the Bridge Financing Transaction, the Borrowers desire to amend each of the Promissory Notes; and, as an inducement of the Lenders willingness to enter into this Amendment, NBGI shall issue to the Agent and the Lenders collectively three warrants per $1 of Indebtedness to purchase 600,000 shares of Common Stock in the aggregate at an exercise price equal to $0.15 and a term of five years from the initial closing date of the Offering (the “Closing”) and on such other terms as shall be described in the Offering Debentures (such warrants, the “New Warrants”). |
NOW THEREFORE THE PARTIES HERETO AGREE as follows:
1. |
Section 1 of each of the Promissory Notes is hereby amended by replacing “January 31, 2014” in the first sentence with “October 1, 2016” and replacing the entire second sentence with the following: |
“This Note will bear interest (the “Interest”) on the Principal outstanding, from time to time, both before and after maturity, default and judgment, commencing on (i) the date of advance of the Principal to the Borrowers and through the date prior to the Amendment Date at the rate of twelve percent (12%) per annum and (ii) the Amendment Date and until repaid to the Lender at the rate of six percent (6%) per annum, in each of clause (i) and (ii), such Interest calculated daily and payable quarterly. For Interest with respect to any period on or after the Amendment Date, the Borrowers shall wire the Interest payable for each quarter to the Agent’s Account (as defined below) no later than the last business day of that quarter.
