(i) The Company shall have its Common Stock delisted from a market (including the OTCQB marketplace) or, if the Common Stock trades on an exchange, then trading in the Common Stock shall be suspended for more than 10 consecutive days;
(j) If a majority of the members of the Board of Directors of the Company on the date hereof are no longer serving as members of the Board;
(k) The Company shall not deliver to the Holder the Common Stock pursuant to paragraph 4 herein without restrictive legend within 3 business days of its receipt of a Notice of Conversion; or

(m) The Company shall not be “current” in its filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission; or
(n) The Company shall lose the “bid” price for its stock and a market (including the OTCBB marketplace or other exchange)
Then, or at any time thereafter, unless cured within 5 days, and in each and every such case, unless such Event of Default shall have been waived in writing by the Holder (which waiver shall not be deemed to be a waiver of any subsequent default) at the option of the Holder and in the Holder’s sole discretion, the Holder may consider this Note immediately due and payable, without presentment, demand, protest or (further) notice of any kind (other than notice of acceleration), all of which are hereby expressly waived, anything herein or in any note or other instruments contained to the contrary notwithstanding, and the Holder may immediately, and without expiration of any period of grace, enforce any and all of the Holder’s rights and remedies provided herein or any other rights or remedies afforded by law. Upon an Event of Default, interest shall accrue at a default interest rate of 16% per annum or, if such rate is usurious or not permitted by current law, then at the highest rate of interest permitted by law. In the event of a breach of Section 8(k) the penalty shall be $250 per day the shares are not issued beginning on the 4th day after the conversion notice was delivered to the Company.

If the Holder shall commence an action or proceeding to enforce any provisions of this Note, including, without limitation, engaging an attorney, then if the Holder prevails in such action, the Holder shall be reimbursed by the Company for its attorneys’ fees and other costs and expenses incurred in the investigation, preparation and prosecution of such action or proceeding.
9. In case any provision of this Note is held by a court of competent jurisdiction to be excessive in scope or otherwise invalid or unenforceable, such provision shall be adjusted rather than voided, if possible, so that it is enforceable to the maximum extent possible, and the validity and enforceability of the remaining provisions of this Note will not in any way 5 be affected or impaired thereby.

10. Neither this Note nor any term hereof may be amended, waived, discharged or terminated other than by a written instrument signed by the Company and the Holder.
11. The Company represents that it is not a “shell” issuer and has never been a “shell” issuer or that if it previously has been a “shell” issuer that at least 12 months have passed since the Company has reported form 10 type information indicating it is no longer a “shell issuer. Further. The Company will instruct its counsel to either (i) write a 144-3(a(9) opinion to allow for salability of the conversion shares or (ii) accept such opinion from Holder’s counsel.
12. The Company shall issue irrevocable transfer agent instructions reserving 69,444,000 shares of its Common Stock for conversions under this Note (the “Share Reserve”). The reserve shall be replenished as needed to allow for conversions of this Note. The Holder will initially submit a conversion notice/request for a tranche of shares to be issued with an agreed to conversion price equal to $1000 (an “Initial Tranche Request”). The shares that are the subject to the Initial Trance Request may be subsequently reconverted and repriced as follows: (i) the Holder shall immediately reduce the outstanding balance of the Note by $1,000 and simultaneously send to the Company a live” or “repriced” conversion notice for the $1,000 priced using the conversion formula set forth in Section 4(a) of this Note, (ii) As the balance of the shares in the Initial Tranche Request are converted via the delivery of the “live” or “repriced” conversion notice, the balance of the Note shall be reduced using the formula set forth in Section 4(a) of this Note, as if such shares had originally been converted as set forth in Section 4(a). By way of example, if the Tranche Conversion Request was for 1,000,000 shares and the face amount of the Note was $25,000 the Holder would initially reduce $1,000 from the face amount leaving a balance of $24,000 and send the Company a repriced conversion notice deducting that number of shares from the Initial Tranche Request necessary to equal $1,000 using the formula set forth in Section 4(a). Additionally, if, the following day, the Holder sent a “live” or “repriced” conversion notice to the Company for 25,000 shares and, using the formula set forth in Section 4(a) the true conversion price would have been $6,000, then the Holder shall make an additional reduction of $6,000 on the Note and shall indicate both the Note balance and the share reserve balance on the “live” conversion notice. This process shall be repeated until there is no balance remaining outstanding on the Note. Upon full conversion of this Note, the any shares remaining in the Share Reserve shall be cancelled.
13. The Company will give the Holder direct notice of any corporate actions, including but not limited to name changes, stock splits, recapitalizations etc. This notice shall be given to the Holder as soon as possible under law.
14. This Note shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of New York applicable to contracts made and wholly to be performed within the State of New York and shall be binding upon the successors and assigns of each party hereto. The Holder and the Company hereby mutually waive trial by jury and consent to exclusive jurisdiction and venue in the courts of the State of New York. This Agreement may be executed in counterparts, and the facsimile transmission of an executed counterpart to this Agreement shall be effective as an original.

The interest will be paid to the Holder in whose name this Note is registered on the records of the Company regarding registration and transfers of this Note. The principal of, and interest on, this Note are payable at 00000 Xxxxxxx Xxxxxxx, Xxxxx, XX 00000, initially, and if changed, last appearing on the records of the Company as designated in writing by the Holder hereof from time to time. The Company will pay each interest payment and the outstanding principal due upon this Note before or on the Maturity Date, less any amounts required by law to be deducted or withheld, to the Holder of this Note by check or wire transfer addressed to such Holder at the last address appearing on the records of the Company. The forwarding of such check or wire transfer shall constitute a payment of outstanding principal hereunder and shall satisfy and discharge the liability for principal on this Note to the extent of the sum represented by such check or wire transfer. Interest shall be payable in Common Stock (as defined below) pursuant to paragraph 4(b) herein.
This Note is subject to the following additional provisions:

2. The Company shall be entitled to withhold from all payments any amounts required to be withheld under applicable laws.
3. This Note may be transferred or exchanged only in compliance with the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (“Act”), and applicable state securities laws. Any attempted transfer to a non-qualifying party shall be treated by the Company as void. Prior to due presentment for transfer of this Note, the Company and any agent of the Company may treat the person in whose name this Note is duly registered on the Company’s records as the owner hereof for all other purposes, whether or not this Note be overdue, and neither the Company nor any such agent shall be affected or bound by notice to the contrary. Any Holder of this Note electing to exercise the right of conversion set forth in Section 4(a) hereof, in addition to the requirements set forth in Section 4(a), and any prospective transferee of this Note, also is required to give the Company written confirmation that this Note is being converted (“Notice of Conversion”) in the form annexed hereto as Exhibit A. The date of receipt (including receipt by telecopy) of such Notice of Conversion shall be the Conversion Date.
4. (a) The Holder of this Note is entitled, at its option, at any time after 180 days, to convert all or any amount of the principal face amount of this Note then outstanding into shares of the Company’s common stock (the “Common Stock”) without restrictive legend of any nature, at a price (“Conversion Price”) for each share of Common Stock equal to 55% of the lowest closing bid price of the Common Stock as reported on the OTCQB marketplace which the Company’s shares are traded or any market upon which the Common Stock may be traded in the future (“Exchange”), for the ten prior trading days including the day upon which a Notice of Conversion is received by the Company (provided such Notice of Conversion is delivered by fax or other electronic method of communication to the Company after 4 P.M. Eastern Standard or Daylight Savings Time if the Holder wishes to include the same day closing price). If the shares have not been delivered within 3 business days, the Notice of Conversion may be rescinded. Such conversion shall be effectuated by the Company delivering the shares of Common Stock to the Holder within 3 business days of receipt by the Company of the Notice of Conversion. Once the Holder has received such shares of Common Stock, the Holder shall surrender this Note to the Company, executed by the Holder evidencing such Holder’s intention to convert this Note or a specified portion hereof, and accompanied by proper assignment hereof in blank.

No fractional shares or scrip representing fractions of shares will be issued on conversion, but the number of shares issuable shall be rounded to the nearest whole share. In the event the Company experiences a DTC “Chill” on its shares, the conversion price shall be decreased to 45% instead of 55% while that “Chill” is in effect.
(b) Interest on any unpaid principal balance of this Note shall be paid at the rate of 8% per annum. Interest shall be paid by the Company in Common Stock (“Interest Shares”). Holder may, at any time, send in a Notice of Conversion to the Company for Interest Shares based on the formula provided in Section 4(a) above. The dollar amount converted into Interest Shares shall be all or a portion of the accrued interest calculated on the unpaid principal balance of this Note to the date of such notice.

(e) In case of any Sale Event (not to include a sale of all or substantially all of the Company’s assets) in connection with which this Note is not redeemed or converted, the Company shall cause effective provision to be made so that the Holder of this Note shall have the right thereafter, by converting this Note, to purchase or convert this Note into the kind and number of shares of stock or other securities or property (including cash) receivable upon such reclassification, capital reorganization or other change, consolidation or merger by a holder of the number of shares of Common Stock that could have been purchased upon exercise of the Note and at the same Conversion Price, as defined in this Note, immediately prior to such Sale Event. The foregoing provisions shall similarly apply to successive Sale Events. If the consideration received by the holders of Common Stock is other than cash, the value shall be as determined by the Board of Directors of the Company or successor person or entity acting in good faith.
5. No provision of this Note shall alter or impair the obligation of the Company, which is absolute and unconditional, to pay the principal of, and interest on, this Note at the time, place, and rate, and in the form, herein prescribed.
6. The Company hereby expressly waives demand and presentment for payment, notice of non-payment, protest, notice of protest, notice of dishonor, notice of acceleration or intent to accelerate, 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 hereto.

Re: Irrevocable Transfer Agent Instructions
Re: | Rule 144 Share issuance for M Line Holdings, Inc. |
Ladies and Gentlemen:
The undersigned has been requested to render this opinion with respect to the issuance of 236,686 shares without the restricted securities legend (the “144 Shares”) of common stock of M Line Holdings, Inc. (the “Company”) by GEL Properties, LLC (“Seller”) pursuant to Rule 144 of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Act”).
In connection with this opinion, the undersigned has reviewed documentation relating to the proposed issuance of the 144 Shares, including the following documents (i) copies of the original $150,000.00 promissory note issued to Spagus Capital Partners, LLC on 5/31/2011, (ii) an assignment of $60,750.68 ($50,000 in principal and $10,750.68 in accrued interest) of that note to the Seller on February 6, 2014, (iii) a restated note in the amount of $60,750.68 issued to the Seller by the Company on February 6, 2014 reflecting the assignment of debt from Spagus Capital Partners, LLC (iv) a conversion notice thereunder and (v) irrevocable transfer agent instructions approving issuance. In addition, the undersigned has made such examination of the facts as the undersigned has deemed appropriate in the circumstances. The undersigned has made no attempt to independently verify any information provided by the Seller or the Company, and relies on the Seller’s and the Company’s representations to permit you to remove the restrictive legend from the 144 Shares.
The analysis supporting the removal of the legend is as follows: Section 3(a)(9) of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, permits the exchange of debt securities for those of equity securities issued by the same issuer, provided that the four requirements of Section 3(a)(9) are met. Those requirements are (i) same issuer the securities being exchanged must be the same as the issuer of the new securities, (ii) no additional consideration from the security holder, (iii) offer only to security holders and (iv) no remuneration for solicitation. In the present case, all four criteria are met. The issuer M Line Holdings, Inc, is the same issuer for both the debt security being surrendered and the common stock being issued in exchange. GEL Properties, LLC, the holder, is not being asked to party with anything of value besides the outstanding securities. This exchange offer is a private exchange offer limit to certain existing security holders and there was no commission or remuneration paid in connection with this.
Rule 144(d)(iii) allows the tacking of securities received in conversions provided that (i) the identity of the issuer is the same (“same issuer requirement”) (ii) the securities have been acquired from the issuer solely in exchange for other securities of the same issuer (“clean exchange requirement”). Under the current view of the Securities and Exchange Commission, tacking is permitted as long as the securities surrendered involve investment risk. In this case, all these requirements are met. The “same issuer requirement” is met, as described above, the clean exchange requirement is met as described above, and the note was assigned in consideration of a full recourse promissory note, which meets the “investment risk” requirement.

Other Offices Reno, NV |
In summary, the Seller has represented to us that (i) the 144 Shares are to be issued on March 5, 2014 to be held in as security for conversion of indebtedness owed to the Seller for debt that arose on in excess of 12 months ago for good and valid consideration (ii) the Seller is not an “affiliate” of the Company (as that term is defined in Rule 144(a)(1) adopted pursuant to the Act, as amended), (iii) the Company is “current” in its reporting obligations as it filed its Form 10Q for the period ended December 31, 2013 on February 11, 2014 and (iv) the Seller has a present intent to dispose of the Shares as required under Rule 144. Based on our review of the Company’s public filings, including but not limited to the past 10K filing filed by the Company, the Company is not a “shell company” as that term is defined under the Act and has not been so for at least 12 months. Based upon the foregoing and assuming such 144 Shares are sold in compliance with the applicable provisions of Rule 144, the undersigned is of the opinion that that the removal of the restrictive legend on the 144 Shares in connection with the subsequent sale of the 144 Shares by the Seller would be exempt from registration under the Act pursuant to Rule 144 and the legend may be removed.
The Company will pay all costs associated with the issuance of this certificate.
Please process as set forth in the conversion notice.
This opinion letter (i) has been furnished to you at your request, and I consider it to be a confidential communication which may not be furnished, reproduced, distributed, disclosed to anyone, or quoted from or referred to without my prior written consent, except to the registered holder, the registered holder’s broker, auditors, counsel, appropriate regulatory and governmental authorities, and to satisfy any and all court orders, (ii) is rendered solely for your information and assistance and may not be relied upon by any other person or for any other purpose not stipulated above without my prior consent.

In no event shall the amount of interest due or payable hereunder exceed the maximum rate of interest allowed by applicable law, and in the event any such payment is inadvertently paid by the Maker or inadvertently received by the Holder, then such excess sum shall be credited as a payment of principal, unless the Maker shall notify the Holder, in writing, that the Maker elects to have such excess sum returned to it forthwith. It is the express intent hereof that the Maker not pay and the Holder not receive, directly or indirectly in any manner whatsoever, interest in excess of that which may be legally paid by the Maker under applicable law. Accordingly, if interest in excess of the legal maximum is contracted for, charged, or received: (1) this Note shall be automatically reformed so that the effective rate of interest shall be reduced to the maximum rate of interest permitted by applicable law, for the purpose of determining this rate and to the extent permitted by applicable law, all interest contracted for, charged, or received shall be amortized, prorated, and spread throughout the full term of this Note so that the effective rate of interest is uniform throughout the life of this Note, and (ii) any excess of interest over the maximum amount allowed under applicable law shall be applied as a credit against the then unpaid principal amount hereof.
3.9 Time is of the Essence. Time is of the essence of this Note and, in case this Note is collected by law or through an attorney at law, or under advice herefrom, the Maker agrees to pay all costs of collection including reasonable attorneys’ fees and expenses.

Re: Irrevocable Transfer Agent Instructions
Re: | Rule 144 Share issuance for M Line Holdings, Inc. |
Ladies and Gentlemen:
The undersigned has been requested to render this opinion with respect to the issuance of 236,686 shares without the restricted securities legend (the “144 Shares”) of common stock of M Line Holdings, Inc. (the “Company”) by GEL Properties, LLC (“Seller”) pursuant to Rule 144 of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Act”).
In connection with this opinion, the undersigned has reviewed documentation relating to the proposed issuance of the 144 Shares, including the following documents (i) copies of the original $150,000.00 promissory note issued to Spagus Capital Partners, LLC on 5/31/2011, (ii) an assignment of $60,750.68 ($50,000 in principal and $10,750.68 in accrued interest) of that note to the Seller on February 6, 2014, (iii) a restated note in the amount of $60,750.68 issued to the Seller by the Company on February 6, 2014 reflecting the assignment of debt from Spagus Capital Partners, LLC (iv) a conversion notice thereunder and (v) irrevocable transfer agent instructions approving issuance. In addition, the undersigned has made such examination of the facts as the undersigned has deemed appropriate in the circumstances. The undersigned has made no attempt to independently verify any information provided by the Seller or the Company, and relies on the Seller’s and the Company’s representations to permit you to remove the restrictive legend from the 144 Shares.
The analysis supporting the removal of the legend is as follows: Section 3(a)(9) of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, permits the exchange of debt securities for those of equity securities issued by the same issuer, provided that the four requirements of Section 3(a)(9) are met. Those requirements are (i) same issuer the securities being exchanged must be the same as the issuer of the new securities, (ii) no additional consideration from the security holder, (iii) offer only to security holders and (iv) no remuneration for solicitation. In the present case, all four criteria are met. The issuer M Line Holdings, Inc, is the same issuer for both the debt security being surrendered and the common stock being issued in exchange. GEL Properties, LLC, the holder, is not being asked to party with anything of value besides the outstanding securities. This exchange offer is a private exchange offer limit to certain existing security holders and there was no commission or remuneration paid in connection with this.
Rule 144(d)(iii) allows the tacking of securities received in conversions provided that (i) the identity of the issuer is the same (“same issuer requirement”) (ii) the securities have been acquired from the issuer solely in exchange for other securities of the same issuer (“clean exchange requirement”). Under the current view of the Securities and Exchange Commission, tacking is permitted as long as the securities surrendered involve investment risk. In this case, all these requirements are met. The “same issuer requirement” is met, as described above, the clean exchange requirement is met as described above, and the note was assigned in consideration of a full recourse promissory note, which meets the “investment risk” requirement.
Silicon Valley, CA Office 000 Xxxx Xxxxxxxx Xxx, #000 Xxxxxxxx, XX 00000 (408) 879-7440 (000) 000-0000 (fax) |
Other Offices Reno, NV |
In summary, the Seller has represented to us that (i) the 144 Shares are to be issued on March 5, 2014 to be held in as security for conversion of indebtedness owed to the Seller for debt that arose on in excess of 12 months ago for good and valid consideration (ii) the Seller is not an “affiliate” of the Company (as that term is defined in Rule 144(a)(1) adopted pursuant to the Act, as amended), (iii) the Company is “current” in its reporting obligations as it filed its Form 10Q for the period ended December 31, 2013 on February 11, 2014 and (iv) the Seller has a present intent to dispose of the Shares as required under Rule 144. Based on our review of the Company’s public filings, including but not limited to the past 10K filing filed by the Company, the Company is not a “shell company” as that term is defined under the Act and has not been so for at least 12 months. Based upon the foregoing and assuming such 144 Shares are sold in compliance with the applicable provisions of Rule 144, the undersigned is of the opinion that that the removal of the restrictive legend on the 144 Shares in connection with the subsequent sale of the 144 Shares by the Seller would be exempt from registration under the Act pursuant to Rule 144 and the legend may be removed.
The Company will pay all costs associated with the issuance of this certificate.
Please process as set forth in the conversion notice.
This opinion letter (i) has been furnished to you at your request, and I consider it to be a confidential communication which may not be furnished, reproduced, distributed, disclosed to anyone, or quoted from or referred to without my prior written consent, except to the registered holder, the registered holder’s broker, auditors, counsel, appropriate regulatory and governmental authorities, and to satisfy any and all court orders, (ii) is rendered solely for your information and assistance and may not be relied upon by any other person or for any other purpose not stipulated above without my prior consent.

Ladies and Gentlemen:
M Line Holdings, Inc., a Nevada corporation (the “Company”) and JMJ Financial (the “Investor”) entered into a $335,000 Promissory Note (the “Note”) dated February 12, 2014. A copy of the Note is attached hereto. You should familiarize yourself with your issuance and delivery obligations, as Transfer Agent, contained therein. The shares to be issued are to be registered in the names of the registered holder of the securities submitted for conversion.
You are hereby irrevocably authorized and instructed to reserve a sufficient number of shares of common stock (“Common Stock”) of the Company (at least 60,000,000 (sixty million) shares of Common stock for the Note which should be held in reserve for the Investor as of this date) for issuance upon full conversion of the Note in accordance with the terms thereof. The amount of Common Stock so reserved may be increased, from time to time, by written instructions of the Company and the Investor. In the event of a reverse stock split the reserve should remain unchanged unless instructed by the Investor and the Company.
The ability to process a notice of conversion under the Note (a “Conversion Notice”) in a timely manner is a material obligation of the Company pursuant to the Note. Your film is hereby irrevocably authorized and instructed to issue shares of Common Stock of the Company (without any restrictive legend) to the Investor without any further action or confirmation by the Company (from the reserve, but in the event there are insufficient reserve shares of Common Stock to accommodate a Conversion Notice (defined below) your firm and the Company agree that the Conversion Notice should be completed using authorized but unissued shares of Common Stock that the Company has in its treasury): (A) upon your receipt from the Investor of: (i) a Conversion Notice executed by the Investor; and (ii) an opinion of counsel of the Investor, in form, substance and scope customary for opinions of counsel in comparable transactions (and satisfactory to the transfer agent), to the effect that the shares of Common Stock of the Company issued to the Investor pursuant to the Conversion Notice are not “restricted securities” as defined in Rule 144 and should be issued to the Investor without any restrictive legend, provided that the Company is current on its SEC filings; and. (B) the number of shares to be issued is less than 4.99% of the total issued common stock of the Company.
The Company hereby requests that your firm act immediately, without delay and without the need for any action or confirmation by the Company with respect to the issuance of Common Stock pursuant to any Conversion Notices received from the Investor.
The Company shall indemnify you and your officers, directors, principals, partners, agents and representatives, and hold each of them harmless from and against any and all loss, liability, damage, claim or expense (including the reasonable fees and disbursements of its attorneys) incurred by or asserted against you or any of them arising out of or in connection the instructions set forth herein, the performance of your duties hereunder and otherwise in respect hereof, including the costs and expenses of defending yourself or themselves against any claim or liability hereunder, except that the Company shall not be liable hereunder as to matters in respect of which it is determined that you have acted with gross negligence or in bad faith (which gross negligence or bad faith must be determined by a final, non-appealable order, judgment, decree or ruling of a court of competent jurisdiction). You shall have no liability to the Company in respect to any action taken or any failure to act in respect of this if such action was taken or omitted to be taken in good faith, and you shall be entitled to rely in this regard on the advice of counsel.
The Board of Directors of the Company has approved the foregoing (irrevocable instructions) and does hereby extend the Company’s irrevocable agreement to indemnify your firm for all loss, liability or expense in carrying out the authority and direction herein contained on the terms herein set forth.
If the Company’s account is in arrears with the Transfer Agent, the Transfer Agent shall not have any obligation to act upon these instructions; however the Investor shall have the option to cure the outstanding balance with the Transfer Agent.
The Company agrees that in the event that the Transfer Agent resigns as the Company’s transfer agent, or if the Company decides to switch or terminate the current Transfer Agent, the Company shall engage a suitable replacement transfer agent that will agree to serve as transfer agent for the Company and be bound by the terms and conditions of these Irrevocable Instructions within five (5) business days.
The Investor is intended to be and is third party beneficiary hereof, and no amendment or modification to the instructions set forth herein may be made without the consent of the Investor.
Very truly yours, | ||
