2.2.
Conditions Precedent to Subsequent Advances. Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement, the Lender’s obligation to provide the Subsequent Advances shall be subject to the following express conditions precedent (the “Conditions Precedent”):
(a)
the Xxxxxxx Bridge Loan Agreements shall have been amended to provide that (i) the respective due dates of the loans granted thereunder shall be extended to December 31, 2016, and (ii) the Company may not (without the prior written consent of the Lender, to be obtained in each instance) prepay the loans granted thereunder, in whole or in part, prior to December 31, 2016;
(b)
the Company shall have executed and delivered to the Lender (i) the Existing KF Loan Amendment, (ii) the Convertible Note, and (iii) the Warrants; and
(c)
the Company shall have delivered to the Lender a current itemized monthly budget of the Company in such form and substance as may be proposed by the Company and approved by the Lender in its sole and absolute discretion (the “Updated Budget”).
The Conditions Precedent shall be for the sole benefit of the Lender and may be waived by the Lender in writing at its sole and absolute discretion. If the Conditions Precedent are not satisfied or waived on or before the date upon which any Subsequent Advance is to be made pursuant to the terms of this Agreement, Lender shall have the right (but not the obligation) (i) to make one or more Subsequent Advances, in which case the Conditions Precedent shall be deemed waived in respect to the Subsequent Advances so made, but shall remain in full force and effect as to all further Subsequent Advances under Section 2.1, or (ii) to terminate its obligation to lend the Subsequent Advances to the Company as determined in Lender’s sole and absolute discretion by written notice to such effect to the Company, in which case Lender’s obligation to lend any further Subsequent Advances to the Company shall terminate under Section 2.1 and cease to be of any further force or effect, but all of the other terms and conditions of the Loan Documents shall remain in full force and effect in accordance with their respective terms.
2.3.
Interest. Subject to Section 8.2, the total outstanding principal amount of the Loan shall bear interest at a rate of ten percent (10%) per annum until the outstanding principal amount thereon is paid in full, which interest shall be compounded and added to the outstanding principal balance of the Loan monthly, in arrears, beginning on January 1, 2016 and on the first (1st) day of each consecutive calendar month thereafter.
2.4.
Payments of Principal and Interest. Interest as calculated pursuant to Section 2.3 shall accrue and remain unpaid on the outstanding principal balance of the Loan until January 15, 2017 (the “Maturity Date”). On the Maturity Date, the entire outstanding principal amount of the Loan, together with any accrued and unpaid interest thereon, shall become immediately due and payable without demand therefor.
6
2.5.
Prepayment of Outstanding Amounts. Subject to the prior right of the registered holder of the Convertible Note to exercise the Conversion Right as described below, the Company may prepay the outstanding principal amount and any accrued and unpaid interest thereon under the Loan at any time and from time to time, either in whole or in part, in minimum increments equal to the lesser of Two Hundred and Fifty Thousand Dollars ($250,000.00) each and the total amount remaining outstanding under the Loan without any prepayment penalty or premium (the “Prepayment Right”), which prepayment shall be applied in the manner provided in Section 2.7 hereof. Prior to exercising the Prepayment Right, the Company shall give the registered holder of the Convertible Note not less than 10 business days (the “Prepayment Notice Period”) advance written notice of the Company’s intention to prepay the outstanding principal amount and any accrued and unpaid interest thereon under the Loan in the amount specified in such written notice (the “Prepayment Notice” and “Prepayment Amount”, respectively). During the Prepayment Notice Period, the registered holder of the Convertible Note shall have the right to exercise the Conversion Right, and if timely exercised, the amount so converted shall be applied in reduction of the Prepayment Amount permitted hereunder in respect to such Prepayment Notice. If, during the Prepayment Notice Period, the registered holder of the Convertible Note fails to exercise the Conversion Right in the full amount of the Prepayment Amount, upon expiration of the Prepayment Notice Period, the Conversion Right shall be subject to the Prepayment Right in an amount equal to the remainder of the Prepayment Amount set forth in the Prepayment Notice after such conversion.
2.6.
Convertible Promissory Note and Conversion Right. Upon the execution of this Agreement, the Company shall issue to the Lender an unsecured, convertible promissory note for the total outstanding principal amount of the Loan payable to the order of the Lender and evidencing the Loan, executed by the Company in favor of the Lender in the form attached as Schedule “B” to this Agreement (the “Convertible Note”). The outstanding principal balance and accrued but unpaid interest thereon may be converted into shares of Common Stock (the “Convertible Note Shares”) by the registered holder of the Convertible Note at an initial conversion price of $0.10 per share (subject to adjustment as provided in the Convertible Note) in whole or in part in minimum increments equal to the lesser of Two Hundred and Fifty Thousand Dollars ($250,000.00) each and the total amount remaining outstanding under the Loan, subject to such further terms and conditions as may be set out in the Convertible Note and this Agreement (the “Conversion Right”). The Lender agrees to resell or transfer the Convertible Note pursuant only to an effective registration under the Securities Act or to an available exemption from the registration requirements of the Securities Act and any applicable state securities laws and agrees that the Company may refuse to register any resale or transfer not made pursuant to an effective registration under the Securities Act and any applicable state securities laws or pursuant to an available exemption from the registration requirements of the Securities Act and any applicable state securities laws.
2.7.
Application of Payments and Prepayments. Each payment made by the Company to the Lender on account of the Loan, including, but not limited to, any prepayments made under Section 2.5, shall be applied first in payment of any late payment charges, if any, second in payment of any accrued and unpaid uncapitalized interest under the Loan, whether or not then due, third in payment of any accrued and unpaid capitalized interest comprising part of the outstanding principal amount of the Loan, whether or not then due, and finally in payment of the outstanding principal amount of the Loan.
2.8.
Usury. The Company and the Lender acknowledge and agree that (i) by reason of their own respective business and financial experience, it can reasonably be assumed that the Company and the Lender have the capacity to each protect their own interests in connection with the transactions contemplated by the Loan Documents; and (ii) as a consequence, the Loan, including all interest on the principal amount thereof and all other consideration therefor, including, without limitation, the Warrants, is exempt from the usury restrictions under California law pursuant to the exemption set forth in California Corporation Code Section 25118(b). Without limiting the generality of the forgoing, it is nevertheless the intent of the Company and the Lender that the Lender and any holder of any Note shall never be entitled to receive, collect or apply, as interest or other consideration of any kind under the Loan or any Note any amount in excess of the maximum rate of interest permitted to be charged by applicable law; and in the event that the Lender or the holder of any Note ever receives, collects or applies as interest or other consideration of any kind any such excess, such amount which would be excess interest or other consideration shall be deemed to be a partial prepayment of the principal amount of the Loan and treated as such; and if the principal amount of the Loan is paid in full, any remaining excess interest or other consideration shall be paid to the Company forthwith upon demand therefor.
7
2.9.
Existing Loan Amendment. In order to induce the Lender to enter into this Agreement and perform its obligations hereunder, including its obligations to make the Subsequent Advances of the Loan pursuant to Section 2.1, upon the execution of this Agreement, the parties shall execute and deliver the Existing KF Loan Amendment in the form attached as Schedule “A” to this Agreement.
3.
SHARE PURCHASE WARRANTS
3.1.
Share Purchase Warrants. As additional consideration to the Lender for the Loan, upon execution of this Agreement, the Company shall issue to the Lender non-transferrable share purchase warrants to purchase an aggregate of up to 8,000,000 shares of Common Stock at an initial exercise price of $0.10 per share (subject to adjustment as provided in the form of Warrant attached as Schedule “C” to this Agreement), and expiring on January 15, 2021 (collectively, the “Warrants”), which Warrants shall be exercisable in whole or in part immediately and from time to time prior to the expiration thereof, and shall be substantially in the form attached as Schedule “C” to this Agreement.
3.2.
Warrants Non-Transferrable. The Warrants shall not be transferrable except with the prior written consent of the Company (which consent may be withheld or delayed for any or no reason as determined by the Company in its sole and absolute discretion). Notwithstanding the forgoing, the Lender shall be permitted to transfer the Warrants to an Affiliate of the Lender without the prior consent of the Company, provided that such transfer is completed in a transaction or as part of a transaction that does not require registration under the Securities Act or any applicable state securities laws and the Lender provides the Company with an opinion of legal counsel to such effect, which opinion shall be of substance and form, and such legal counsel shall be of such standing, as is reasonably satisfactory to the Company.
3.3.
No Short Sales. For so long as any of the Warrants are outstanding, the Lender hereby agrees that it shall not, and shall not permit any Affiliate of the Lender to:
(a)
Engage in any short sales of any shares of any class of the Company’s capital stock;

Cause any other person, entity or group to engage in any short sales of any shares of any class of the Company’s capital stock; or

Offset of Exercise Price Against Indebtedness. The Lender shall have the right, but not the obligation, to offset the cash payable to the Company upon an exercise by the Lender of the Warrants against the outstanding indebtedness under the Loan, if any, provided however that such offset shall be deemed not to be an exchange of securities for purposes of Rule 144.
4.

The Lender acknowledges and agrees that the representations contained in this Section 6.1 shall not modify, amend or affect the Company’s right to rely on the Lender’s representations and warranties contained in this Agreement or any representations and warranties contained in any other Loan Document or any other document or instrument executed and/or delivered in connection with this Agreement or the consummation of the transaction contemplated hereby.
6.2.
Representations, Warranties and Covenants of the Lender. The Lender represents, warrants and covenants to and with the Company as follows, and acknowledges that the Company is relying upon such representations, warranties and covenants in entering into this Agreement:
(a)
US Accredited Investor Status. At the time the Lender was offered the Securities, it was, and as of the date hereof, it is, and on each date on which it exercises any Warrants or the Conversion Right, it will be, an “accredited investor” as defined in Rule 501(a)(3) or (a)(8) under the Securities Act.
(b)
Organization; Authority. The Lender is an entity duly incorporated or formed, validly existing and in good standing under the laws of California with full right, corporate, partnership, limited liability company or similar power and authority to enter into and to consummate the transactions contemplated by the Loan Documents and otherwise to carry out its obligations hereunder and thereunder. The execution and delivery of the Loan Documents and performance by the Lender of the transactions contemplated by the Loan Documents have been duly authorized by all necessary corporate, partnership, limited liability company or similar action, as applicable, on the part of the Lender. Each Loan Document to which it is a party has been duly executed by the Lender, and when delivered by the Lender in accordance with the terms hereof, will constitute the valid and legally binding obligation of the Lender, enforceable against it in accordance with its terms, except: (i) as limited by general equitable principles and applicable bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization, moratorium and other laws of general application affecting enforcement of creditors’ rights generally, (ii) as limited by laws relating to the availability of specific performance, injunctive relief or other equitable remedies and (iii) insofar as indemnification and contribution provisions may be limited by applicable law.

The Lender is acquiring the Securities in the ordinary course of its business, and was not organized for the purpose of acquiring the Securities.
(e)
Investment Experience. The Lender acknowledges that an investment in the Company is highly speculative, and involves a high degree of risk as the Company is in the early stages of developing its business, and may require substantial funds in addition to the proceeds of the Loan, and that only persons who can afford the loss of their entire investment should consider investing in the Company. The Lender is an investor in securities of businesses in the development stage and acknowledges that the Lender is able to fend for himself/herself/itself, can bear the economic risk of the Lender's investment, and has such knowledge and experience in financial and business matters such that the Lender is capable of evaluating the merits and risks of an investment in the Company’s securities as contemplated in this Agreement.
(f)
Acknowledgement of Restricted Securities.

The Lender represents that the Lender is familiar with Rule 144, as presently in effect, and understands the resale limitations imposed thereby and by the Securities Act.

(i)
Investment Not on Basis of Undisclosed Information. Notwithstanding Section 6.2(g), the Purchaser is not entering into the transactions contemplated by this Agreement or purchasing the Securities as a result of any material information concerning the Company that has not been publicly disclosed and the Lender’s decision to purchase the Securities has not been made as a result of any oral or written representation as to fact or otherwise made by the Company or any other person and is based entirely upon currently available public information concerning the Company.
14
(j)
No Review. The Lender acknowledges that the offering of the Securities contained in this Agreement has not been reviewed by the SEC and that Securities are being, and, with respect to the Warrant Shares, will be, issued by the Company pursuant to an exemption from the registration requirements of applicable state securities laws.
(k)
General Solicitation.

(iii)
it will promptly notify the Company if the Lender discovers that any of the representations in this Section 6.2(m) ceases to be true, and to provide the Company with appropriate information in connection therewith.
The Company acknowledges and agrees that the representations contained in this Section 6.2 shall not modify, amend or affect the Lender’s right to rely on the Company’s representations and warranties contained in this Agreement or any representations and warranties contained in any other Loan Document or any other document or instrument executed and/or delivered in connection with this Agreement or the consummation of the transaction contemplated hereby.

Where:
A = If the Common Stock is listed or quoted on a national securities exchange, the OTC Bulletin Board or the OTCQB or OTCQX market tiers of the inter-dealer quotation system maintained by OTC Markets Group Inc. (or any successors to the forgoing), the volume weighted average price of the Common Stock for the trading day immediately preceding the date of exercise; if the Common Stock is not so listed or quoted, but the Common Stock is quoted on the OTC Pink market tier of the electronic inter-dealer quotation system maintained by OTC Markets Group Inc.

Upon the occurrence of an Event of Default under the Loan Agreement at any time prior to the earlier of the Expiration Date and the date that all of the Warrants represented hereby have been exercised, and for so long as such Event of Default is continuing, the Holder may exercise this Warrant for cash (and not by way of a “cashless exercise”) at an adjusted Exercise Price (the “Default Exercise Price”) equal to the lesser of the following:
(1)
The then Exercise Price (as adjusted from time to time pursuant to the provisions of this Warrant);
(2)
If the Common Stock is listed or quoted on a national securities exchange, the OTC Bulletin Board or the OTCQB or OTCQX market tiers of the inter-dealer quotation system maintained by OTC Markets Group Inc.

The provisions of this Article 5 shall be in addition to, and not in lieu of, any other rights that the Holder may have under the Loan. Nothing in this Article 5 shall be construed as limiting the rights of the Holder to exercise this Warrant by way of a “cashless exercise” in accordance with Article 5, provided that such cashless exercise shall continue to be calculated based on the Exercise Price and not the Default Exercise Price.
7.
Adjustment to Exercise Price for Subsequent Offerings
