| CPN-[__] | Las Vegas, Nevada |
WHEREAS, on October 15, 2020, MusclePharm Corporation, a Nevada corporation (the “Company”), issued to Xxxx Xxxxxxx (the “Holder”; together with the Company, the “Parties”) a secured revolving promissory note (the “Existing Note”), $2,457,549 of which is outstanding as of the Effective Date;
WHEREAS, the Existing Note matured on June 30, 2021; and
WHEREAS, the Parties desire to extend the maturity of the Existing Note and, in consideration thereof, otherwise amend and restate the terms of the Existing Note as set forth herein.
NOW, THEREFORE, for good and valuable consideration, the receipt and sufficiency of which is hereby acknowledged, the Company and the Holder hereby amend and restate the terms of, and supersede in their entirety, the Existing Note as follows:
For value received, the Company promises to pay the Holder the principal sum of Two Million, Four Hundred Fifty Seven Thousand, Five Hundred Forty Nine Dollars ($2,457,549), plus interest on the outstanding principal amount at the rate of twelve percent (12%) per annum, in each case in accordance with the terms and subject to adjustment as set forth in this note (this “Note”).
This Note is secured by a lien on and security interest in all of the assets and properties of the Company, to the full extent as the Existing Note was secured prior to the date hereof, as described in the Sixth Amended and Restated Security Agreement, dated as of November 29, 2020, by and between the Company and the Holder (the “Security Agreement”). All references to the “2020 Revolver Note” in the Security Agreement shall be understood to refer to this Note.
This Note is subject to the following terms and conditions:
1. Maturity.
(a) Repayment. Unless earlier converted or repaid (as applicable) as provided in Sections 1(d), 2 or 3, all outstanding principal (including any PIK Interest) and any accrued but unpaid interest under this Note (whether or not that interest has been capitalized) (the “Conversion Amount”), shall be due and payable on July 14, 2022 (as such date may be accelerated solely in accordance with the terms hereof, the “Maturity Date”).
(b) Interest.
(i) Interest on this Note shall commence on the Effective Date and shall continue and accrue daily at the applicable rate on the outstanding principal amount until paid in full or converted in accordance with this Note.
(ii) Interest shall be computed on the basis of a year of 365 days for the actual number of days elapsed.
(iii) Accrued and unpaid interest shall be paid by the Company to the Holder in cash on the last day of each calendar quarter (each such date, an “Interest Payment Date”), provided that, at the irrevocable election of the Company (as determined by the independent directors of the Board) made in writing by notice to the Holder at least two (2) business days prior to any Interest Payment Date, and so long as no Event of Default has occurred and is then continuing, the Company may elect to pay the PIK Amount of such interest either (at the sole option of the independent directors of the Board) (i) in kind by increasing the principal amount of this Note by such PIK Amount, convertible into shares of the Company’s Common Stock, $0.001 par value per share (“Common Stock”), at the closing price per share on the last business day of such calendar quarter immediately preceding such Interest Payment Date, rounded down to the nearest whole share on such Interest Payment Date. In no event, shall the conversion price on such PIK Amount be less than $0.10 or (ii) in shares of the Company’s Common Stock, $0.001 par value per share (“Common Stock”), at the closing price per share on the last business day of such calendar quarter immediately preceding such Interest Payment Date, rounded down to the nearest whole share on such Interest Payment Date. The “PIK Amount” shall, in respect of any Interest Payment Date, be an amount equal to one-sixth of the interest otherwise payable on such Interest Payment Date. Any interest paid in kind by adding such interest then due to the unpaid principal amount shall be referred to as “PIK Interest.”
(iv) Any interest not paid when due in cash (including any PIK Interest) shall be capitalized and added to the principal amount of this Note and shall bear interest, compounded annually, along with all other unpaid principal, capitalized interest and other capitalized obligations hereunder.
(c) Events of Default.
(i) Notwithstanding Section 1(a) above, at the option and upon the declaration of the Holder and upon written notice to the Company, the entire Conversion Amount shall become due and payable upon an Event of Default. The occurrence of the following shall constitute an “Event of Default”:
(1) the Company fails to pay any and all unpaid principal, accrued and unpaid interest and all other amounts owing under the Note and the Security Agreement when due and payable pursuant to the terms of the Note; provided, however, that an Event of Default shall not be deemed to have occurred on account of a failure to pay due solely to an administrative or operational error of any depositary institution that is crediting by ACH or wiring such payment if the Company had the funds to make the payment when due and payment is received by the Holder within two (2) business days following the Company’s knowledge of such failure to pay;
| -2- |
(2) the Company or any of its subsidiaries files any petition or action for relief under any bankruptcy, reorganization, insolvency or moratorium law or any other law for the relief of, or relating to, debtors, now or hereafter in effect, or makes any general assignment for the benefit of creditors;
(3) an involuntary petition is filed against the Company or any of its subsidiaries (unless such petition is dismissed or discharged within forty-five (45) days) under any bankruptcy statute or similar law now or hereafter in effect, or a custodian, receiver, trustee, assignee for the benefit of creditors (or other similar official) is appointed to take possession, custody or control of any property of the Company;
(4) the Company breaches any other material term of this Note or the Security Agreement (unless, in the case of any curable material breach, such material breach is cured within thirty (30) days of the earlier of the date on which (x) the Holder has given notice of such breach to the Company and (y) the Company has actual knowledge of such breach);
(5) the Company amends or modifies the terms of any existing indebtedness in a manner that increases the principal amount thereof or the interest rate applicable thereto, accelerates the maturity of the obligations thereunder or otherwise adversely affects the Holder; provided, that, the foregoing shall not constitute an Event of Default if undertaken, caused, approved or voted in favor of by the Holder in his capacity as an employee, officer or director of the Company;
(6) a final judgment or judgments for the payment of money aggregating in excess of $100,000 that are not covered by insurance or an indemnity from a creditworthy party are rendered against the Company and/or any of its subsidiaries and which judgments are not, within thirty (30) days after the entry thereof, bonded, discharged or stayed pending appeal, or are not discharged within thirty (30) days after the expiration of such stay;
(7) the Company fails to pay, when due, giving effect to any applicable grace period, any payment with respect to any funded indebtedness in excess of $100,000 due to any third party (other than, with respect to unsecured funded indebtedness only, payments contested by the Company in good faith by proper proceedings and with respect to which adequate reserves have been set aside for the payment thereof in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles) or is otherwise in breach or violation of any agreement for monies owed or owing in an amount in excess of $100,000, other than unsecured trade obligations in the ordinary course of business, which breach or violation permits the other party thereto to declare a default or otherwise accelerate amounts due thereunder; provided, that, the foregoing shall not constitute an Event of Default if undertaken, caused, approved or voted in favor of by the Holder in his capacity as an employee, officer or director of the Company; or
(8) there exists any circumstances or events that would, with or without the passage of time or the giving of notice, result in a default or event of default under any agreement binding the Company or any subsidiary, which default or event of default would or is likely to have a material adverse effect on the business, assets, operations or financial condition of the Company and its subsidiaries, taken as a whole; provided, that, the foregoing shall not constitute an Event of Default if such circumstances or events are undertaken, caused, approved or voted in favor of by the Holder in his capacity as an employee, officer or director of the Company; provided, however, that all obligations under this Note, including without limitation all principal (including any PIK Interest) and all accrued and unpaid interest, shall be accelerated, and shall be immediately and automatically due and payable without any notice to the Company or other action, upon the occurrence of any Event of Default described in clause (2) or (3) of this Section 1(c)(i).
| -3- |
(d) Conversion. From and after the determination of the conversion price in accordance with this sentence, the Holder may at any time, and from time to time, in the sole discretion of the Holder, upon written notice to the Company, elect to convert all or a portion of the Conversion Amount into shares of the Common Stock, at a price per share equal to the closing price of the Common Stock on October 15, 2021, rounded down to the nearest whole share.
2. Mechanics and Effect of Conversion.
(a) Effectiveness of Conversion. Upon conversion of this Note, the Company will be forever released from all of its obligations and liabilities under this Note with respect to that portion of the Conversion Amount being converted, including without limitation the obligation to repay such portion of the principal amount and accrued and unpaid interest. Principal and accrued and unpaid interest on this Note will be converted proportionally unless otherwise specified by the Holder. Upon conversion of this Note, the Company shall take all such actions as are necessary in order to ensure that the Common Stock issuable with respect to such conversion shall be validly issued, fully paid and nonassessable.
(b) Issuance of Certificates. Upon conversion of this Note, the Holder shall surrender this Note, duly endorsed, at the principal offices of the Company or any transfer agent of the Company. At its expense, the Company shall, as soon as practicable thereafter, issue and deliver to such Holder, at such principal office, a certificate or certificates for the number of shares of Common Stock to which such Holder is entitled upon such conversion, together with any other securities and property to which the Holder is entitled upon such conversion under the terms of this Note, including a check payable to the Holder for any cash amounts payable as described herein. Upon any partial conversion of this Note, a new Note containing the same date and provisions of this Note shall, at the request of the Holder, be issued by the Company to the Holder for the principal balance of this Note and interest which shall not have been converted or paid.
(c) Fractional Shares. No fractional shares of the Company’s Common Stock will be issued upon conversion of this Note. If any fractional share of Common Stock would, except for the provisions hereof, be deliverable upon conversion of this Note, the Company, in lieu of delivering such fractional share, shall pay an amount in cash equal to the value of such fractional share, as determined by the per share conversion price used to effect such conversion.
3. Payment; Prepayment. All payments shall be made in lawful money of the United States of America at such place as the Holder hereof may from time to time designate in writing to the Company. Payment shall be credited first to any fees and expenses due and payable hereunder, then to accrued and unpaid interest, and then the remainder shall be applied to principal. The Company may prepay this Note in whole or in part at any time following at least fifteen (15) and no more than sixty (60) days’ advance written notice to the Holder, provided that the Holder shall retain all rights of conversion until the date of repayment, notwithstanding the pendency of any prepayment notice.
4. Adjustment Provisions. If after the Effective Date the Company shall make or issue, or shall fix a record date for the determination of eligible holders of its capital stock entitled to receive, a dividend or other distribution payable with respect to the Common Stock that is payable in securities of the Company, assets (including cash), or rights or warrants to purchase shares of Common Stock or securities convertible into shares of Common Stock (each, a “Dividend Event”), and such dividend or other distribution is actually made, then, and in each such case, the Holder, upon conversion of all or a portion of the Conversion Amount into shares of Common Stock at any time after such Dividend Event, shall receive, in addition to the Common Stock issuable upon such conversion of the Note, the securities or other assets, rights or warrants that would have been issuable to the Holder had the Holder, immediately prior to such Dividend Event, converted such Conversion Amount into Common Stock.

Each of the Company and the Holder irrevocably waives, to the fullest extent permitted by law, any objection which it may now or hereafter have to the laying of venue of any proceeding and any claim that any proceeding has been brought in an inconvenient forum. Any process or summons for purposes of any proceeding may be served on the Company or the Holder, as applicable, by mailing a copy thereof by registered mail, or a form of mail substantially equivalent thereto, addressed to it at its address as provided for notices under this Note.

11. Amendments and Waivers. Any term of this Note may be amended only with the written consent of the Company and the Holder. Any amendment or waiver effected in accordance herewith shall be binding upon the Company, the Holder and each transferee of this Note.

14. Action to Collect on Note. The Company promises to pay all costs and expenses, including reasonable attorney’s fees, incurred in connection with the collection or enforcement of this Note or any obligation hereunder, including without limitation during or in the context of any bankruptcy, receivership, trusteeship, reorganization or insolvency proceeding or other proceeding under any other law for the relief of, or relating to, debtors, now or hereafter in effect, and all such amounts shall be payable on demand (or, if the Holder is prevented by applicable law from making demand, as and when incurred by the Holder) and, if not paid when due, shall be capitalized and become part of the principal amount of this Note, and interest shall accrue thereon as set forth for other principal amounts under this Note.
15. Loss of Note. Upon receipt by the Company of evidence satisfactory to it of the loss, theft, destruction or mutilation of this Note or any Note exchanged for it, and indemnity satisfactory to the Company (in case of loss, theft or destruction) or surrender and cancellation of such Note (in the case of mutilation), the Company will make and deliver in lieu of such Note a new Note of like tenor.
16. Interest Rate Limitation. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, the interest paid or agreed to be paid under this Note shall not exceed the maximum rate of non-usurious interest permitted by applicable law (the “Maximum Rate”). If the Holder shall receive interest in an amount that exceeds the Maximum Rate, the excess interest shall be applied to the principal amount remaining owed under this Note or, if it exceeds such unpaid principal amount, refunded to the Company. In determining whether the interest contracted for, charged, or received by the Holder exceeds the Maximum Rate, the Holder may, to the extent permitted by applicable law, (i) characterize any payment that is not principal as an expense, fee, or premium rather than interest, (ii) exclude voluntary prepayments and the effects thereof, and (iii) amortize, prorate, allocate and spread in equal or unequal parts the total amount of interest throughout the contemplated term of this Note.
17. Indemnification. The Company shall, to the fullest extent permitted by law, indemnify (but only to the extent of and out of Company assets) the Holder against all reasonable expenses (including reasonable attorneys’ fees), judgments, fines and amounts paid in settlement actually and reasonably incurred by the Holder in connection with any claim, action, suit or proceeding, whether civil, criminal, administrative or investigative, before or by any court or any administrative or legislative body or authority, in which the Holder is involved, as a party or otherwise, or with which the Holder may be threatened, arising in connection with this Note or the Security Agreement (each, an “Action”), except to the extent the same has been finally adjudicated to constitute fraud, gross negligence or willful misconduct of the Holder or a breach by the Holder of this Note or the Security Agreement. Promptly after receipt by the Holder of notice of the commencement or threatened commencement against it of any third party Action, the Holder will notify the Company. The Company will be entitled to assume the defense of the Action unless the Holder shall have reasonably concluded that a conflict may exist between the Company and the Holder in conducting the defense of the Action. If the Company assumes the defense of any Action in accordance with the provisions of this Section, it will not be liable to the Holder for any legal or other expenses subsequently separately incurred by the Holder in connection with the defense of such Action. The Company shall not be liable for any settlement of a third-party Action effected without its written consent, which consent may not be unreasonably withheld.
18. Severability. In the event that any provision of this Note is invalid or unenforceable under any applicable statute or rule of law, then such provision shall be deemed inoperative to the extent that it may conflict therewith and shall be deemed modified to conform with such statute or rule of law. Any such provision which may prove invalid or unenforceable under any law shall not affect the validity or enforceability of any other provision of this Note.
