Right to Own Acquisition Agreement
SECURED CONVERTIBLE PROMISSORY NOTE
$1,600,000 | May 31, 2018 |
FOR VALUE RECEIVED, the undersigned, BETTWORK INDUSTRIES, INC., a Nevada corporation, (“Borrower”), promises to pay to the order of MONAKER GROUP, INC., a Nevada corporation (“Holder”), the principal sum of ONE million SIX HUNDRED Thousand ($1,600,000.00) Dollars (the “Principal Amount”), together with interest on the unpaid Principal Amount thereof computed from the date of the executed RIGHT TO OWN ACQUISITION AGREEMENT by and between Borrower and Holder, dated on or around the date hereof (the “Sale Date” and the “Agreement”), at the rates provided herein until May 31, 2020 or such earlier date on which the Principal Amount becomes due and payable as provided herein (as applicable, the “Maturity Date”); provided, however, that from and after: (i) the Maturity Date, whether upon stated maturity, acceleration or otherwise, or (ii) the date on which the interest rate hereunder is increased to the Default Rate (as hereinafter defined) as provided herein, such additional interest shall be computed at the Default Rate.
As used herein, the term “Default Rate” shall mean a rate of interest of twelve percent (12.0%) per annum, but in no event shall the Default Rate be in excess of the Maximum Rate (as hereinafter defined).
1.0 Late Fees and Other Requirements
If any payment of interest is not paid within five (5) days from the due date for such payment, a late charge equal to the lesser of ten percent (10%) of such overdue payment or the maximum amount permitted by applicable law shall automatically become due to the holder of this Secured Convertible Promissory Note (the “Note”), subject, however, to the limitation that late charges may be assessed only once on each overdue payment. Said late charges do not constitute interest and shall constitute compensation to the holder of this Note for collection and co-lender administration costs incurred hereunder. In addition, if any payment of principal or interest is not paid when due, the holder of this Note shall have the right, upon notice to Borrower, to increase the rate of interest per annum on all amounts outstanding to the Default Rate and, upon said notice, such rate increase shall be effective retroactively as of the date from which the interest component of such overdue payment began to accrue and shall remain in force and effect for so long as such default shall continue. This paragraph shall not be construed as an agreement or privilege to extend the due date of any payment, nor as a waiver of any other right or remedy accruing to the holder of this Note by reason of any default.
Borrower will do or cause to be done all things reasonably necessary to preserve and keep in full force and effect its corporate existence, rights and franchises and comply with all laws applicable to Borrower, except where the failure to comply could not reasonably be expected to have a material adverse effect on Borrower.
2.0 Principal and Interest. Principal and interest hereunder shall be payable as follows:
(a) beginning on the Sale Date, interest on the Principal Amount outstanding hereof shall accrue at the rate of Six (6.0%) percent per annum, for the period beginning on and including the Sale Date to the last day of the month in which the Sale Date occurs (“Short Interest” and the “Short Interest Date”), and shall accrue and be payable within five (5) days of the end of such month in which such Short Interest accrued.
Secured Convertible Promissory Note | Page 1 of 10 |
(b) Interest only at the rate per annum equal to the greater of (i) Six (6%) percent and (ii) the Prime Rate (as defined below) as adjusted from time to time, plus Three and Three Quarters Percent (3 3/4%) on the Principal Amount outstanding hereof shall accrue from the Short Interest Date through the Maturity Date and be paid monthly, in arrears, in an amount, as determined by Holder, equal to one-twelfth (1/12th) of the annual interest payments for such period.
(c) All principal, interest and other sums due hereunder shall be due and payable in full on the Maturity Date.
As used herein, the term “Prime Rate” shall mean the rate of interest published in The Wall Street Journal from time to time as the “Prime Rate.” If more than one “Prime Rate” is published in The Wall Street Journal for a day, the average of such “Prime Rates” shall be used, and such average shall be rounded up to the nearest one-eighth of one percent (0.125%). If The Wall Street Journal ceases to publish the “Prime Rate,” the Holder shall select an equivalent publication that publishes such “Prime Rate,” and if such “Prime Rates” are no longer generally published or are limited, regulated or administered by a governmental or quasigovernmental body, then Holder shall select a comparable interest rate index. The Prime Rate will change on July 1, 2018 and on the first day of each month thereafter following any change in the Prime Rate.
3.0 Calculation of Interest Payments. Each payment hereunder shall be credited first to Holder’s collection expenses, next to late charges, next to unpaid interest, and the balance, if any, to the reduction of the Principal Amount. The interest on this Note shall be calculated on the basis of a 30-day month and a 360-day year.
4.0 Prepayment of Note. This Note may be prepaid in whole or in part at any time, without penalty or premium, provided that Borrower provides the Holder at least fifteen (15) days prior written notice of its intention to repay such Note, during which fifteen (15) day period the Conversion Right (as defined below) shall apply.
5.0 Convertibility of Note. Holder will have the right to convert this Note into common stock of the Borrower at any time during the term of the Note (the “Conversion Right”). The Holder will be limited to converting shares of the Note to common stock of the Borrower prior to the Note being paid in full, such that Monaker’s beneficial ownership (as defined in the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended) of common stock in Borrower will not exceed 9.99% of Borrower’s issued and outstanding shares of common stock. By written notice to the Borrower, the Holder may waive the provisions of this Section regarding the 9.99% limitation, but any such waiver will not be effective until the 61st day after delivery of such notice. If Holder elects to convert all or any portion of the Note during the term of the Note, the conversion price will be $1.00 per share (the “Conversion Price”, as adjusted for recapitalizations, stock splits, combinations and dividends) unless, prior to the Note being paid in full, Borrower completes a capital raise or acquisition and issues common stock or common stock equivalents (including, but not limited to convertible securities) with a price per share (as determined in the reasonable discretion of the Holder) less than the Conversion Price then in effect (a “Transaction”), then the Conversion Price (and the Conversion Price of all other convertible securities of the Borrower held by the Holder) will automatically be adjusted to match such lower pricing structure associated with the Transaction (provided such repricing shall continue to apply to subsequent Transactions which occur prior to the Note being paid in full as well).
Secured Convertible Promissory Note | Page 2 of 10 |
6.0 Borrower’s Waiver of Certain Rights. Borrower and each surety, endorser and guarantor hereof hereby waive all demands for payment, presentations for payment, notices of intention to accelerate maturity, notices of acceleration of maturity, demand for payment, protest, notice of protest and notice of dishonor, to the extent permitted by law. Borrower further waives trial by jury. No extension of time for payment of this Note or any installment hereof, no alteration, amendment or waiver of any provision of this Note and no release or substitution of any collateral securing Borrower’s obligations hereunder shall release, modify, amend, waive, extend, change, discharge, terminate or affect the liability of Borrower under this Note.
Any forbearance by Holder in exercising any right or remedy hereunder or under any other agreement or instrument in connection with the Agreement or otherwise afforded by applicable law, shall not be a waiver or preclude the exercise of any right or remedy by Holder. The acceptance by Holder of payment of any sum payable hereunder after the due date of such payment shall not be a waiver of the right of the Holder to require prompt payment when due of all other sums payable hereunder or to declare a default for failure to make prompt payment.
If this Note is placed in the hands of an attorney for collection, Borrower shall pay all costs incurred and reasonable attorneys’ fees for legal services in the collection effort, whether or not a suit is brought.
At the election of the Holder, all payments due hereunder may be accelerated, and this Note shall become immediately due and payable without notice or demand, upon the occurrence of any of the following events (each an “Event of Default”): (1) Borrower fails to pay on or before the date due, any amount of principal and/or interest payable hereunder; (2) Borrower fails to perform or observe any other term or provision of this Note with respect to payment; provided, however, that Borrower shall be provided with a ten (10) calendar day period to cure same; (3) Borrower fails to perform or observe any other term or provision of this Note; provided, however, that Borrower shall be provided with written notice from Holder of any non-monetary default under this Note and a thirty (30) calendar day period to cure same; (4) there exists a default under the Agreement (as hereinafter defined), or a default under or misrepresentation contained in any other agreement, document or certificate of Borrower, which default is not cured within any grace period expressly provided therefor in such document; (5) Borrower shall: (i) become insolvent or take any action which constitutes its admission of inability to pay its debts as they mature; (ii) make an assignment for the benefit of creditors, file a petition in bankruptcy, petition or apply to any tribunal for the appointment of a custodian, receiver or a trustee for it or a substantial portion of its assets; (iii) commence any proceeding under any bankruptcy, reorganization, arrangement, readjustment of debt, dissolution or liquidation or statute of any jurisdiction, whether now or hereafter in effect; (iv) have filed against it any such petition or application in which an order for relief is entered or which remains undismissed for a period of thirty (30) days or more; (v) indicate its consent to, approval of or acquiescence in any such petition, application, proceeding or order for relief or the appointment of a custodian, receiver or trustee for it or a substantial portion of its assets; or (vi) suffer any such custodianship, receivership or trusteeship to continue undischarged for a period of ninety (90) days or more; (6) Borrower shall dissolve or wind up; or (7) Borrower shall take any action authorizing, or in furtherance of, any of the foregoing. In addition to the rights and remedies provided herein, Holder may exercise any other right or remedy in any other document, instrument or agreement evidencing, securing or otherwise relating to the indebtedness evidenced hereby in accordance with the terms thereof, or under applicable law, all of which rights and remedies shall be cumulative.
Secured Convertible Promissory Note | Page 3 of 10 |
7.0 Transferability of the Note. This Note may be transferred or assigned by the Holder without the consent of the Borrower. If this Note is transferred in any manner by the Holder, the rights, options and other provisions herein shall apply with equal effect in favor of any subsequent holder hereof.
Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, under no circumstances shall the aggregate amount of interest paid or agreed to be paid hereunder exceed the highest lawful rate permitted under applicable usury law (the “Maximum Rate”) and the payment obligations of Borrower under this Note are hereby limited accordingly. If under any circumstances, whether by reason of advancement or acceleration of the maturity of the unpaid principal balance hereof or otherwise, the aggregate amounts paid on this Note shall include amounts which by law are deemed interest and which would exceed the Maximum Rate, Borrower stipulates that payment and collection of such excess amounts shall have been and will be deemed to have been the result of a mistake on the part of both Borrower and the holder of this Note, and the party receiving such excess payments shall promptly credit such excess (to the extent only of such payments in excess of the Maximum Rate) against the unpaid principal balance hereof and any portion of such excess payments not capable of being so credited shall be refunded to Borrower.
8.0 Note Holder’s Security of Assets. The (a) full and punctual payment (in lawful money of the United States and in immediately available funds), as and when due, of all principal, interest, attorneys’ fees, costs, expenses and other amounts which are or may become payable by Borrower under this Note; and (b) the full and punctual performance of all other obligations of Borrower under this Note (collectively the “Obligations”) shall be secured by a security interest in, a continuing first lien upon, an unqualified right to possession and disposition of and a right of set-off against, in each case to the fullest extent permitted by law, all of the Borrower’s right, title and interest in, and to (a) the Right to Own (as defined in the Agreement), until such Right to Own is exercised, and then (b) the Property (as defined in the Agreement), including in each case, all proceeds therefrom (collectively, the “Collateral” and the “Security Interest”).
(a) Prior to the payment and performance in full of all of the Obligations, the Borrower shall not sell, pledge or otherwise transfer (whether voluntarily, involuntarily, by operation of law, or by gift or for consideration) any of the Collateral or any of its interest therein. Any such sale, pledge or other transfer shall be null and void and shall confer no rights on the purported transferee. The Borrower shall at all times maintain good and marketable title to the Collateral free and clear of all liens, encumbrances and other security interests. Company and where applicable, the Borrower, shall pay in full any tax that is imposed on any of the Collateral prior to its delinquency and, within ten days after any other lien or encumbrance is imposed on any of the Collateral, the Borrower shall pay and discharge such lien or other encumbrance in full.
Secured Convertible Promissory Note | Page 4 of 10 |
(b) The Borrower shall preserve and protect the Holder’s first-priority security interest in the Collateral and shall cause the Security Interest to be perfected and to continue to be perfected until the Obligations are paid and performed in full. The Borrower shall execute and deliver to the Holder (within ten days after receipt of the Holder’s written request) such other security agreements, endorsements, pledges, assignments and other documents (including, without limitation, financing statements, mortgages, deeds of trust, and continuation statements and amendments thereto) as the Holder may request from time to time to effectuate the grant to the Holder of the Security Interest and the perfection of the Security Interest, and the Holder is authorized to file and/or record any such documents (whether or not executed by Borrower) with appropriate regulatory authorities. The Borrower shall promptly notify the Holder in sufficient detail upon becoming aware of any attachment, garnishment, execution or other legal process levied against any Collateral and of any other information received by the Borrower that may materially affect the value of the Collateral, the Security Interest or the rights and remedies of the Holder hereunder.
(c) Upon occurrence of any Event of Default and at any time thereafter, the Holder (for the purposes of this Section, the “Secured Party”) shall have the right to exercise all of the remedies conferred hereunder, and the Secured Party shall have all the rights and remedies of a secured party under the Uniform Commercial Code, as currently in effect in the state of Florida (the “UCC”) and/or any other applicable law (including the Uniform Commercial Code or equivalent rules or regulations of any jurisdiction in which any Collateral is then located). Without limitation, the Secured Party shall have the following rights and powers:
i. | The Secured Party shall have the right to take possession of the Collateral; |
ii. | The Secured Party shall have the right to assign, sell, lease or otherwise dispose of and deliver all or any part of the Collateral, at public or private sale or otherwise, either with or without special conditions or stipulations, for cash or on credit or for future delivery, in such parcel or parcels and at such time or times and at such place or places, and upon such terms and conditions as the Secured Party may deem commercially reasonable, all without (except as shall be required by applicable statute and cannot be waived) advertisement or demand upon or notice to the Borrower or right of redemption of the Borrower, which are hereby expressly waived. Upon each such sale, lease, assignment or other transfer of Collateral, the Secured Party may, unless prohibited by applicable law which cannot be waived, purchase all or any part of the Collateral being sold, free from and discharged of all trusts, claims, right of redemption and equities of the Borrower, which are hereby waived and released; and/or |
Secured Convertible Promissory Note | Page 5 of 10 |
iii. | The Secured Party shall have the right to take any and all actions provided for under applicable law. |
(d) The proceeds of any such sale, lease or other disposition of the Collateral hereunder shall be applied first, to the expenses of retaking, holding, storing, processing and preparing for sale, selling, and the like (including, without limitation, any taxes, fees and other costs incurred in connection therewith) of the Collateral, to the reasonable attorneys’ fees and expenses incurred by the Secured Party in enforcing its rights hereunder and in connection with collecting, storing and disposing of the Collateral, and then to the satisfaction of the Obligations, and to the payment of any other amounts required by applicable law, after which the Secured Party shall pay to the Borrower any surplus proceeds. If, upon the sale, license or other disposition of the Collateral, the proceeds thereof are insufficient to pay all amounts to which the Secured Party is legally entitled, the Borrower will be liable for the deficiency, together with interest thereon, at the Default Rate, and the reasonable fees of any attorneys employed by the Secured Party to collect such deficiency. To the extent permitted by applicable law, the Borrower waives all claims, damages and demands against the Secured Party arising out of the repossession, removal, retention or sale of the Collateral, unless due to the gross negligence or willful misconduct of the Secured Party.
(e) The Borrower agrees to pay all out-of-pocket fees, costs and expenses incurred in connection with any filing which may be required hereunder, including without limitation, any financing statements, continuation statements, partial releases and/or termination statements related thereto or any expenses of any searches reasonably required by the Secured Party. The Borrower shall also pay all other claims and charges which in the reasonable opinion of the Secured Party might prejudice, imperil or otherwise affect the Collateral or the Security Interest therein. The Borrower will also, upon demand, pay to the Secured Party the amount of any and all reasonable expenses, including the reasonable fees and expenses of its counsel and of any experts and agents, which the Secured Party may incur in connection with (i) the enforcement of this Note, (ii) the custody or preservation of, or the sale of, collection from, or other realization upon, any of the Collateral, or (iii) the exercise or enforcement of any of the rights of the Secured Party under this Note. Until so paid, any fees payable hereunder shall be added to the principal amount of the Note and shall bear interest at the Default Rate.
(f) Borrower hereby appoints Holder as its attorney-in-fact (with full power of substitution) to execute, deliver and file, effective upon the occurrence of an Event of Default on Borrower’s behalf and at Borrower’s expense, (1) any financing statements, continuation statements or other documents or filings which the Holder desires to file to perfect or continue the Security Interest and (2) any other documents and instruments that Holder determines are necessary or appropriate in order to enable it to exercise its rights and remedies that are provided hereunder and by applicable law upon the occurrence of an Event of Default. This power, being coupled with an interest, shall be irrevocable until the Obligations are paid and performed in full.
Secured Convertible Promissory Note | Page 6 of 10 |
(g) The Security Interest shall terminate only if and when the Obligations have been paid and performed in full.
(h) All rights of the Holder and all Obligations of the Borrower hereunder, shall be absolute and unconditional, irrespective of: (a) any lack of validity or enforceability of this Note, or any agreement entered into in connection with the foregoing, or any portion hereof or thereof; (b) any change in the time, manner or place of payment or performance of, or in any other term of, all or any of the Obligations, or any other amendment or waiver of or any consent to any departure from the Note, or any other agreement entered into in connection with the foregoing; (c) any exchange, release or nonperfection of any of the Collateral, or any release or amendment or waiver of or consent to departure from any other collateral for, or any guaranty, or any other security, for all or any of the Obligations; (d) any action by the Holder or a Collateral Agent on behalf of the Holder to obtain, adjust, settle and cancel in its sole discretion any insurance claims or matters made or arising in connection with the Collateral; or (e) any other circumstance which might otherwise constitute any legal or equitable defense available to the Borrower, or a discharge of all or any part of the Security Interest granted hereby. Until the Obligations shall have been paid and performed in full, the rights of the Holder shall continue even if the Obligations are barred for any reason, including, without limitation, the running of the statute of limitations or bankruptcy.
(i) The Borrower expressly waives presentment, protest, notice of protest, demand, notice of nonpayment and demand for performance. In the event that at any time any transfer of any Collateral or any payment received by the Holder hereunder shall be deemed by final order of a court of competent jurisdiction to have been a voidable preference or fraudulent conveyance under the bankruptcy or insolvency laws of the United States, or shall be deemed to be otherwise due to any party other than the Holder, then, in any such event, the Borrower’s Obligations hereunder shall survive cancellation of this Note, and shall not be discharged or satisfied by any prior payment thereof and/or cancellation of this Agreement, but shall remain a valid and binding obligation enforceable in accordance with the terms and provisions hereof. The Borrower waives all right to require the Holder or a Collateral Agent on behalf of the Holder to proceed against any other person or to apply any Collateral which the Holder or Collateral Agent on behalf of the Holder may hold at any time, or to pursue any other remedy. The Borrower waives any defense arising by reason of the application of the statute of limitations to any obligation secured hereby.
By entry into the Agreement and execution of this Note, Borrower acknowledges, agrees and confirms that it has no defense, offset or counterclaim for any occurrence in relation to this Agreement and Borrower acknowledges that Holder has complied with all of its obligations under the Agreement as of the date hereof.
9.0 Payments of principal and interest. All payments of principal and interest hereunder are payable in lawful money of the United States of America and shall be made by wire transfer to the account of Holder, as instructed, at Bank of America, pursuant to wiring instructions to be provided to Borrower or to such other accounts as may be instructed by Holder.
