AND:
___________________, of _____________________________
(the “Lender”)
BACKGROUND:
A. Naked is a wholly-owned subsidiary of NBGI operating a product manufacturing and distribution business for men’s clothing products;
B. Naked requires funds to expand its inventory and sales operations, and, in order to raise funds for that purpose, (i) Naked and NBGI have determined to issue joint and several convertible term promissory notes (the “Kalamalka Loans”) to a group of accredited investors, as defined in applicable securities legislation (the “Kalamalka Group”) in connection with an agency and interlender agreement dated as of the date hereof (the “Agency Agreement”); and (ii) NBGI has determined to issue certain warrants to purchase common shares in its capital (each, a “Warrant”) to Kalamalka Partners Ltd. (the “Agent”) and to each member of the Kalamalka Group; and
C. The Lender is a member of the Kalamalka Group, is an accredited investor, has entered into the Agency Agreement with the other members of the Kalamalka Group, NBGI, Naked, and the Agent pursuant to which the Agent will manage the obligations evidenced by this Note and the Security (as hereinafter defined) for those obligations provided for in this Note on the Lender’s behalf (as amended, supplemented and replaced from time to time) and has agreed to loan funds to the Borrowers as provided for in this Note (the “Loan”).
NOW THEREFORE THE PARTIES HERETO AGREE as follows:
1. For value received the Borrowers hereby jointly and severally promise to pay to the Lender the sum of USD$________________(the “Principal”) on January 31, 2014 (the “Due Date”). This Note will bear interest (the “Interest”) on the Principal outstanding, from time to time, both before and after maturity, default and judgment, commencing the date of advance of the Principal to the Borrowers until repaid to the Lender at the rate of twelve percent (12%) per annum, calculated daily and payable on the Due Date.
2. On the Due Date, the Borrowers shall wire to a bank account maintained by the Agent (the “Agent’s Account”) an amount equal to the Principal and Interest, plus any other amounts owing under the Loan. The Borrower must designate such payment to the Agent’s Account by notice in writing to the Agent as “a payment with respect to the November 2013 Kalamalka Loan”. Such payment shall be deemed to be a payment made rateably to each member of the Kalamalka Group that is a Lender. For greater certainty, the Borrowers may not prepay all or any portion of the Principal or any Interest without the prior written consent of the Agent.
3. At the Lender’s option, but subject to the provisions of the Agency Agreement, the outstanding Principal and all accrued but unpaid Interest represented by this Note will become immediately due and payable upon written notice of acceleration given by the Agent to the Borrowers following the occurrence of any of the following events (each an “Event of Default”):
| (a) |
if the Borrowers shall fail to pay any portion of the Principal, any Interest on this Note or any other sum due hereunder, on the date on which such amount shall become due and payable, whether at the stated Due Date or at any accelerated date of maturity or at any other date fixed for payment; |
| (b) |
if the Borrowers shall fail to perform in any material respect any of the other covenants and agreements set forth herein or in any security granted by either of them in connection with their obligations under this Note and under any Note issued to a Lender in connection with the Agency Agreement (collectively the “Security”), and not cure such failure within ten (10) days after notice thereof; |
| (c) |
if the Borrowers shall fail to pay any portion of any principal, interest or any other sum due, or fail to perform in any material respect any of the other covenants or agreements set forth in any loan documents or security granted by either of them in connection with any other loans facilitated by the Agent and not cure such failure within any curative period granted by the Agent or the lenders with respect to such loans; |
| (d) |
if any material representation or warranty of the Borrowers in this Note, the officer’s certificate of NBGI or the officer’s certificate of Naked provided in connection herewith shall prove to have been false in any material respect upon the date when made or deemed to have been made or repeated; |
| (e) |
if a Borrower shall fail to pay at maturity, or within any applicable period of grace, any obligation for borrowed money or credit received or in respect of any capitalized lease, in each case for which such Borrower’s obligations exceed CAD$50,000, or fail to observe or perform any material term, covenant or agreement contained in any material agreement by which it is bound and evidencing or securing borrowed money or credit received or in respect of any such capitalized lease for such period of time or otherwise as would permit (assuming the giving of appropriate notice if required) the holder or holders thereof or of any obligations issued thereunder to accelerate the maturity thereof, or any such holder or holders to rescind or to have a right to rescind the purchase of any such obligations; |
| (f) |
if a Borrower shall make an assignment for the benefit of creditors, or admit in writing its inability to pay or generally fail to pay its debts as they mature or become due, or petition or apply for the appointment of a trustee or other custodian, liquidator or receiver of a Borrower or of any substantial part of its respective assets or shall commence any case or other proceeding relating to a Borrower under any bankruptcy, reorganization, arrangement, insolvency, readjustment of debt, dissolution or liquidation or similar law of any jurisdiction, now or hereafter in effect, or shall authorize any of the foregoing, or if any such petition or application shall be filed or any such case or other proceeding shall be commenced against a Borrower or a Borrower shall indicate its approval thereof, consent thereto or acquiescence therein or such involuntary petition or application shall not have been dismissed within sixty (60) days following the filing thereof; |
| (g) |
if a decree or order shall be entered appointing any trustee, custodian, liquidator or receiver of a Borrower or of any substantial part of its assets, or adjudicating a Borrower bankrupt or insolvent, or approving a petition in any such case or other proceeding; |
| (h) |
if there shall remain in force, undischarged, unsatisfied, unvacated, unbonded or unstayed, for more than sixty (60) days, any final judgment against a Borrower that, with other such outstanding final judgments against a Borrower or any subsidiary of a Borrower that are undischarged, unsatisfied, unvacated, unbonded or unstayed, exceeds in the aggregate CAD$25,000 in excess of insurance coverage which an insurer has acknowledged and confirmed it would provide with respect to such judgment; |
| (i) |
if this Note or any Security shall be cancelled, terminated, revoked or rescinded, or any action at law, suit or in equity or other legal proceeding to cancel, revoke or rescind this Note or any Security shall be commenced by or on behalf of a Borrower or its shareholders, or any court or any other governmental or regulatory authority or agency of competent jurisdiction shall make a determination that, or issue a judgment, order, decree or ruling to the effect that, any one or more provisions of this Note or any Security is illegal, invalid or unenforceable in accordance with the terms thereof; |
| (j) |
if there shall occur (i) a sale or disposition of all or substantially all of the assets of a Borrower, or (ii) any transfer of beneficial ownership (within the meaning of Rule 13d-3 promulgated by the United States Securities and Exchange Commission under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended), directly or indirectly, of all or any portion of the outstanding shares of a Borrower, in a single transaction or a series of related transactions except, in the case of a transfer of beneficial ownership of common shares in the capital of a Borrower where the shareholders of that Borrower immediately prior to such transaction or series of related transactions retain directly or indirectly at least fifty percent (50%) of the voting power in that Borrower or the successor or acquiring entity (as applicable); and |
| (k) |
if (a) there occurs a Material Adverse Effect as defined in subsection (i) of the definition thereof or that otherwise is not curable, or (b) there occurs any other Material Adverse Effect that continues in existence uncured for five business days. “Material Adverse Effect” means any event or series of events that, individually or in the aggregate, results in (i) a material adverse change in, or a material adverse effect upon, the operations, business, properties, or condition (financial or otherwise) of a Borrower (including without limitation the withdrawal by applicable authorities of a business license of a Borrower which business license would be necessary to conduct its business as currently conducted or as contemplated to be conducted), (ii) a material impairment of the ability of a Borrower to perform under this Note, the Security to which it is a party or any other note or agreement to which a Borrower is a party, or (iii) a material adverse effect upon the legality, validity, binding effect or enforceability against a Borrower of this Note, any Security to which it is a party or any other note or agreement to which a Borrower is a party. For greater certainty, a Material Adverse Effect shall include a material adverse change in the business plans of the Borrowers as represented to the Agent. |
4. Upon the occurrence of an Event of Default and at any time thereafter, provided the Event of Default has not been waived by the Agent or the Borrowers have not theretofore remedied all outstanding Events of Default within the prescribed time period, the Agent may at its option, but in accordance with the provisions of the Agency Agreement, by notice to the Borrowers:

0. The Lender shall not be obligated to advance the Loan unless all representations and warranties of the Borrowers contained in this Note and the Security are true and correct, no Event of Default has occurred and is continuing and the Agent has received on behalf of the Lender the following:
| (a) |
duly executed originals of this Note, the Security and all other documents which the Borrowers have covenanted to deliver or cause to be delivered under this Note or the Security; |
| (b) |
certificates of status or good standing for each of the Borrowers issued by the relevant authority in its jurisdiction of incorporation and all jurisdictions where it is required to be registered by virtue of conducting business in such jurisdiction; |
| (c) |
a certified copy of resolutions of the directors of each of the Borrowers authorizing the execution, delivery and performance of this Note, the Security and the instruments, agreements, certificates and other documents contemplated in this Note and the Security; |
| (d) |
a certificate of a responsible officer of each of the Borrowers, certifying certain matters as to each of the Borrowers; |
| (e) |
in connection with the first issuance of notes to members of the Kalamalka Group who are Lenders, a favourable opinion from counsel for each of the Borrowers (in form and content satisfactory to counsel for the Agent) as to the status, power and capacity of each Borrower, the due authorization, execution and delivery of this Note and the Security, the enforceability of this Note, and, in the case of NBGI, the validity of the Warrants; and |
| (f) |
evidence satisfactory to the Agent of the perfection of the Security in British Columbia, Nevada, California, and any other jurisdiction where the Borrowers’ inventory or material assets are located. |
9. Concurrently with the execution of this Note, NBGI shall issue to the Lender Warrant for the purchase of 75,000 Common shares of NBGI at an exercise price of USD$0.10 per share on or before 4:00PM on November 13, 2016. While this Note is outstanding the Lender shall be permitted to apply any or all of the outstanding Principal and Interest to payment of the exercise price of the respective Warrants.
10. At the option of the Lender, at maturity or at any time prior to maturity, the Lender may convert the balance outstanding under the Loan, including Principal and Interest from time to time, in whole or in part into Common shares of NBGI. The conversion rate will be one (1) common share of NBGI for each twenty-five cents (USD$0.25) of the Loan so converted (the “Conversion Price”). If, at any time while any portion of the Loan is outstanding, NBGI subdivides, consolidates, or pays a stock dividend on the Common shares, the Conversion Price will be simultaneously adjusted upon the happening of each such event and the Conversion Price shall be calculated by multiplying the Conversion Price in effect immediately prior to such event by the following fraction:
| (a) |
the numerator of which is the number of common shares issued and outstanding immediately prior to the event; and |
| (b) |
the denominator of which is the number of common shares issued and outstanding immediately after the completion of the event. |
If, at any time while any portion of the Loan is outstanding, the common shares are changed into a different class or classes of shares, whether by reclassification, recapitalization, reorganization, arrangement, amalgamation or merger, the Lender shall have the right to convert all or any portion of the Loan outstanding into the kind and amount of shares and other securities and property receivable upon such change by holders of that number of shares then to which the Loan could have been converted immediately prior to such change. Adjustments made under this Section shall be successive and each resulting new Conversion Price shall continue in effect until the next adjustment (if any) made hereunder.
11. The Borrowers and the Lender acknowledge and agree that the rights and obligation under this Note and the Security are subject to the provisions of the Agency Agreement and that this Note ranks, in all respects, pari passu with Notes issued to other members of the Kalamalka Group who are also parties to the Agency Agreement. The Borrowers and the Lender further acknowledge and agree that the rights and obligations under this Note, the Security, and the Agency Agreement are separate and distinct from those rights and obligations contained in the agency and interlender agreement among the Borrowers, the Agent, and certain lenders dated August 10, 2012, as amended from time to time, (the “First Loan Agency Agreement”) and the promissory notes and security agreements issued in connection with and governed by the First Loan Agency Agreement.
12. The Borrowers hereby waive presentment or demand for payment and waive and forego any claim or right of set-off, contribution, or any other defense or diminishment or set off of the amount herein evidenced and secured. The Borrowers further waive all defenses or pleadings or cross-claims as answer or to resist demand or repayment and acknowledge and acquiesce to the filing of process by Lender and the taking of judgment and the execution of such process and waives all defenses or counterpleading thereto excepting only prior payment or the non-advance of the Principal of the Loan.
