9.7 Expenses. If any action at law or in equity is necessary to enforce or interpret the terms of this Agreement, the prevailing party shall be entitled to reasonable attorneys’ fees, costs and necessary disbursements in addition to any other relief to which such party may be entitled.
9.8 Entire Agreement; Amendments and Waivers. This Agreement and the Notes and the other documents delivered pursuant hereto constitute the full and entire understanding and agreement between the parties with regard to the subjects hereof and thereof. The Company’s agreements with each of the Lenders are separate agreements, and the sales of the Notes to each of the Lenders are separate sales. Nonetheless, any term of this Agreement or the Notes may be amended and the observance of any term of this Agreement or the Notes may be waived (either generally or in a particular instance and either retroactively or prospectively), with the written consent of the Company and the Majority Note Holders. Any waiver or amendment effected in accordance with this Section shall be binding upon each party to this Agreement and any holder of any Note purchased under this Agreement at the time outstanding and each future holder of all such Notes.
9.9 Effect of Amendment or Waiver. Each Lender acknowledges that by the operation of Section 9.8 hereof, the Majority Note Holders will have the right and power to diminish or eliminate all rights of such Lender under this Agreement and each Note issued to such Lender.

9.10 Severability. If one or more provisions of this Agreement are held to be unenforceable under applicable law, such provision shall be excluded from this Agreement and the balance of the Agreement shall be interpreted as if such provision were so excluded and shall be enforceable in accordance with its terms.
9.11 Subscription Agreement. Each Lender understands and agrees that the conversion of the Notes into Conversion Securities may require such Lender’s execution of certain agreements in the form agreed to by investors in the Qualified Offering relating to the purchase and sale of such securities as well as registration, co-sale, rights of first refusal, rights of first offer and voting rights, if any, relating to such securities.
9.12 Exculpation Among Lenders. Each Lender acknowledges that it is not relying upon any person, firm, corporation or shareholder, other than the Company and its officers and directors in their capacities as such, in making its investment or decision to invest in the Company. Each Lender agrees that no other Lender nor the respective controlling persons, officers, directors, partners, agents, shareholders or employees of any other Lender shall be liable for any action heretofore or hereafter taken or omitted to be taken by any of them in connection with the purchase and sale of the Securities.
9.13 Further Assurance. From time to time, the Company shall execute and deliver to the Lenders such additional documents and shall provide such additional information to the Lenders as any Lender may reasonably require to carry out the terms of this Agreement and the Notes and any agreements executed in connection herewith or therewith, or to be informed of the financial and business conditions and prospects of the Company.
9.14 Acknowledgment. The obligations of each Lender under any Loan Document are several and not joint with the obligations of any other Lender, and no Lender shall be responsible in any way for the performance or non-performance of the obligations of any other Lender under any Loan Document. Nothing contained herein or in any other Loan Document, and no action taken by any Lender pursuant hereof or thereto, shall be deemed to constitute the Lenders as a partnership, an association, a joint venture or any other kind of entity, or create a presumption that the Lenders are in any way acting in concert or as a group with respect to such obligations or the transactions contemplated by the Loan Documents. Each Lender shall be entitled to independently protect and enforce its rights, including, without limitation, the rights arising out of this Agreement or out of the other Loan Documents, and it shall not be necessary for any other Lenders to be joined as an additional party in any proceeding for such purpose. Each Lender has been represented by its own separate legal counsel in its review and negotiation of the Loan Documents.

CONVERTIBLE PROMISSORY NOTE
Date of Issuance | ||
$[INSERT AMOUNT] | [INSERT DATE] |
FOR VALUE RECEIVED, EHAVE, INC., an Ontario corporation (the “Company”), hereby promises to [INSERT NAME] (the “Lender”), the principal sum of $[INSERT AMOUNT], together with interest thereon from the date of this Note. Interest shall accrue at a rate of ten percent (10%) per annum, computed on the basis of the actual number of days elapsed and a year of 365 days. All unpaid principal, together with any then unpaid and accrued interest and other amounts payable hereunder, shall be due and payable on the earliest to occur of the following dates (the “Maturity Date”): the earlier of (i) closing of the Qualified Offering, or (ii) the first anniversary of the date of issuance of this Note. In addition, upon the occurrence of an Event of Default, the entire unpaid principal and accrued and unpaid interest on this Note may become due and payable pursuant to Section 8.1 of the Purchase Agreement. This Note is one of the “Notes” issued pursuant to the Purchase Agreement, and capitalized terms not defined herein shall have the meaning set forth in the Purchase Agreement. This Note is issued under and in accordance with the Purchase Agreement and is subject to the terms and provisions contained in the Purchase Agreement. The Purchase Agreement is hereby incorporated herein by reference and made a part hereof.
1. Payment. All payments shall be made in lawful money of the United States of America at the principal office of the Company, or at such other place as the holder hereof may from time to time designate in writing to the Company. Payment shall be credited first to Costs (as defined below), if any, then to accrued interest due and payable and any remainder applied to principal. Repayment shall be pro rata among all Notes then outstanding pursuant to the Purchase Agreement. The Company hereby waives demand, notice, presentment, protest and notice of dishonor. Upon conversion or payment of all amounts due hereunder, the Lender agrees to deliver the original of the Note at the closing of the Qualified Offering for cancellation.
2. Prepayment. This Note may be prepaid upon ten days prior written notice to the Lenders, by paying 120% of the then outstanding principal amount of the Notes, in whole or in part, at any time prior to the listing of the Company’s common shares for trading on a national securities exchange; provided, that any prepayment of this Note may only be made in connection with the prepayment of all Notes issued under the Purchase Agreement on a pro rata basis, based on the respective aggregate outstanding principal amounts of each such Note.
3. Qualified Offering. Upon closing of the Qualified Offering, all of the principal and accrued and unpaid interest then outstanding under each Note shall, at the option of the Lender holding such Note, either (x) become due and payable in cash from the proceeds of the Qualified Offering, or (y) convert into Conversion Securities as set forth in Section 2.1 of the Purchase Agreement.
4. Conversion Procedure. Before the Lender holding this Note shall be entitled to convert this Note into Conversion Securities pursuant to Section 3(y), the Lender shall surrender this Note, duly endorsed (or a notice to the effect that the original Note has been lost, stolen or destroyed and an agreement acceptable to the Company whereby the holder agrees to indemnify the Company from any loss incurred by it in connection with this Note), at the office of the Company and shall give written notice to the Company at its principal corporate office, of the election to convert the same pursuant to Section 3(y), and shall state therein the amount of the unpaid principal amount of this Note to be converted and the name or names in which the certificate or certificates for Conversion Securities are to be issued, in the event that the Conversion Securities will be certificated. Upon such conversion of this Note, the Lender hereby agrees to execute and deliver to the Company all transaction documents related to the Qualified Offering, including a purchase agreement and other ancillary agreements, with customary representations and warranties and transfer restrictions. The Company shall, as soon as practicable thereafter, issue and deliver to the Lender a certificate or agreement representing the number of Conversion Securities issuable upon conversion of the Notes to which the Lender shall be entitled upon such conversion (bearing such legends as are required by the transaction documents related to the Qualified Offering, and applicable state and federal securities laws in the opinion of counsel to the Company), together with any other securities and property to which the Lender is entitled upon such conversion under the terms of this Note. The conversion of this Note pursuant to Section 3(y) shall be deemed to have been made immediately prior to the closing of the Qualified Offering and on and after such date the Lenders entitled to receive the securities issuable upon such conversion shall be treated for all purposes as the record holder of such securities. Only whole Conversion Securities shall be issued. Any remainder due hereunder which is insufficient to purchase a whole Conversion Security shall be rounded up to the next whole Conversion Security.
5. Amendments and Waivers; Resolutions of Dispute; Notice. The amendment or waiver of any term of this Note, the resolution of any controversy or claim arising out of or relating to this Note and the provision of notice shall be conducted pursuant to the terms of the Purchase Agreement.
6. Successors and Assigns. This Note applies to, inures to the benefit of, and binds the successors and assigns of the parties hereto; provided, however, that the Company may not assign its obligations under this Note without the written consent of the Majority Note Holders. Any transfer of this Note may be effected only pursuant to the Purchase Agreement and by surrender of this Note to the Company and reissuance of a new note to the transferee. The Lender and any subsequent holder of this Note receives this Note subject to the foregoing terms and conditions, and agrees to comply with the foregoing terms and conditions for the benefit of the Company and any other Lenders.
7. Officers and Directors Not Liable. In no event shall any officer or director of the Company be liable for any amounts due and payable pursuant to this Note.
8. Expenses. The Company hereby agrees, subject only to any limitation imposed by applicable law, to pay all expenses, including reasonable attorneys’ fees and legal expenses, incurred by the holder of this Note (“Costs”) in endeavoring to collect any amounts payable hereunder which are not paid when due, whether by declaration or otherwise. The Company agrees that any delay on the part of the holder in exercising any rights hereunder will not operate as a waiver of such rights. The holder of this Note shall not by any act, delay, omission or otherwise be deemed to have waived any of its rights or remedies, and no waiver of any kind shall be valid unless in writing and signed by the party or parties waiving such rights or remedies.
9. Governing Law. PURSUANT TO SECTION 5-1401 OF THE NEW YORK GENERAL OBLIGATIONS LAW, THE SUBSTANTIVE LAWS OF THE STATE OF NEW YORK, WITHOUT REGARD TO THE CHOICE OF LAW PRINCIPLES THAT MIGHT OTHERWISE APPLY, AND THE APPLICABLE FEDERAL LAWS OF THE UNITED STATES OF AMERICA, SHALL GOVERN THE RIGHTS AND DUTIES OF THE PARTIES UNDER THIS NOTE AND THE VALIDITY, CONSTRUCTION, ENFORCEMENT, AND INTERPRETATION OF THIS AGREEMENT.
