Section 1 – Registrant’s Business and Operations

Item 1.01. Entry into a Material Definite Agreement

Legacy Homes

On May 12, 2014, we entered into a consignment agreement (the “Consignment Agreement”) and Indemnification Agreement with Legacy Housing, Ltd. (“Legacy”), pursuant to which Legacy will consign new and used manufactured home inventory to our wholly-owned subsidiary, Wisdom Homes of America, Inc. (“WHOA”). Per the Consignment Agreement, WHOA is to pay Legacy a monthly fee of one percent (1%) of the agreed consignment price for fees incurred during the prior calendar month, or prorated for any partial month. Fees for consigned property begin to accrue from (i) the date used inventory is consigned or (ii) in the case of new inventory, from the date the property is ready to ship and WHOA has been notified of its readiness for shipment.

The consignment price for used inventory shall be One Thousand Dollars ($1,000) greater than Legacy’s acquisition price for a singlewide mobile home and Fifteen Hundred Dollars ($1,500) greater for a multi-section home. The consignment price for new inventory shall be equal to Legacy’s invoice price. WHOA shall reduce the outstanding balance of consigned property by One Thousand Dollars ($1,000) per year, due on the anniversary of each respective consignment, and after the first anniversary of any consigned property, the monthly consignment fee with respect to such property shall increase from 1% to 1.4%. In the event any mobile home is consigned for eleven hundred (1,100) days or more, the entire balance owing shall be immediately due and payable. All money received by WHOA for the purpose of selling a mobile home consigned by Legacy to WHOA shall be held in trust for the benefit of Legacy until the entire outstanding balance owed for the consigned property is satisfied. Furthermore, Legacy shall have a security interest in all manufactured homes that have been financed by Legacy or for which Legacy has advanced any funds or incurred any obligation which has enabled WHOA to acquire the manufactured homes.

The Consignment Agreement shall be effective for a term of five (5) years or for so long as there are manufactured homes consigned to WHOA by Legacy. During the term of the Consignment Agreement, WHOA will maintain insurance on all manufactured homes consigned to it by Legal, and shall be responsible for any home that is destroyed or suffers more than Fifteen Hundred Dollars ($1,500) in damage. For a period of three (3) years following the termination of the Consignment Agreement, WHOA shall not operate, own, mange, or in any way be affiliated with a mobile home sales facility within twenty (20) miles of WHOA’s facility located at 4888 FM 2264, Rhome, Texas, 76078. WHOA’s obligations under the Consignment Agreement are personally guaranteed by Brent Nelms, WHOA’s President, and Burnett Hunt, the general manager of WHOA’s manufactured home retail center in Jacksboro, Texas.

In connection with the Consignment Agreement, WHOA executed an Indemnity Agreement pursuant to which it is obligated to indemnify Legacy, its predecessor and/or successors in interest, or any of its employees, agents, or representatives from any threatened, pending, or completed lawsuit, action or other proceeding, whether criminal, civil, administrative, or investigative, involving a manufactured home and/or real property involving Legacy.

One May 12, 2014, we also entered into an addendum to the Consignment Agreement. Pursuant thereto, so long as WHOA is current on all amounts owed to Legacy and maintains a consignment inventory of at least four (4) manufactured homes during the previous month, the consignment fee owed to Legacy shall be reduced from 1% to 0.8% per month, and prorated for any partial month. This reduced rate shall be in addition to a Ten Dollar ($10) monthly administration fee and does not pertain to any consigned inventory that has been held on consignment for more than one (1) year.

On May 21, 2014, we paid Legacy a Fifty Thousand Dollar ($50,000) security deposit, which Legacy can use to setoff past-due amounts owed pursuant to the Consignment Agreement, should any exist in the future. In two (2) years, if WHOA is in compliance with the Consignment Agreement and current on all amounts due and owing to Legacy thereunder, if any, the security deposit will be refunded to WHOA.

Platinum Technology Ventures, LLC
 
On May 19, 2014, we sold the following domain names: www.manufacturedhome.com, www.manufacturedhomes.com, www.manufacturedhouse.com, www.manufacturedhomes.net, and www.modularhomes.com. The domain names were sold to Platinum Technology Ventures, LLC, an entity owned and controlled by Brad Nelms, formerly our Chief Strategy Officer. As consideration for the sale of the domain names, we received a non-recourse secured promissory note in the amount of One Million Dollars ($1,000,000), and Platinum assumed all of our obligations under the Lease Agreement we had with Domain Capital, LLC. We also received lifetime “gold” or equivalent membership levels on any manufactured home website owned or operated by Platinum. In connection with the transaction, Brad Nelms’ employment with us ceased. As a result of our sale of the manufactured home domain names and associated intellectual property, our monthly cash burn-rate is immediately reduced by approximately Thirty Thousand Dollars ($30,000), we have terminated employees that previously worked in our Las Vegas, Nevada, office in connection with the development and operation of these domain names, and we did not renew our lease for the Las Vegas office, which expired in April 2014. In order to assist Platinum in its operations, we agreed to loan it Fifteen Thousand Dollars ($15,000) per month for six (6) months, for an aggregate loan of Ninety Thousand Dollars ($90,000). Platinum is obligated to begin repaying this loan seven (7) months after it was issued, and its repayment obligations will continue for the following six (6) months.

Two additional domain names are subject to the Lease Agreement with Domain Capital, LLC, namely www.traveltrailer.com and www.toyhaulers.com. Upon satisfaction of the payment obligations under the Lease Agreement, those domains will be transferred back to us.

Section 3 – Securities and Trading Markets

Item 3.02. Unregistered Sales of Equity Securities.

LG Capital Funding, LLC

On May 16, 2014, we entered into a Securities Purchase Agreement with LG Capital Funding, LLC (“LG Capital”), pursuant to which we sold to LG Capital an 8% Convertible Promissory Note in the original principal amount of $105,000 (the “Note”). The Note has a maturity date of May 16, 2015, and is convertible after 180 days into our common stock at a forty two percent (42%) discount from the lowest trading price of our common stock, as reported by any exchange upon which our common stock is then traded, for the ten (10) trading days prior to our receipt of notice from the Note holder to exercise this conversion feature. The conversion price shall be subject to a minimum conversion price of $0.0001 per share (the “floor price”), but in the event that the floor price is triggered, the conversion discount shall increase from forty two percent (42%) to fifty two (52%), calculated against the floor price. Interest accrued on the Note shall be payable in shares of our common stock, calculated using the same conversion formula. The Note can be prepaid by us at a premium as follows: (a) between 0 and 90 days after issuance – 120% of the principal amount; (b) between 91 and 150 days after issuance – 130% of the principal amount; (c) between 151 and 180 days after issuance – 140% of the principal amount. There is no right to prepay the Note after 180 days. The purchase and sale of the Note closed on May19, 2014, the date that the purchase price was delivered to us.
 
The issuance of the Note was exempt from the registration requirements under the Securities Act of 1933 pursuant to Rule 506 of Regulation D thereof. The purchaser was an accredited and sophisticated investor, familiar with our operations, and there was no solicitation.

f. Transfer or Re-sale. The Buyer understands that (i) the sale or re-sale of the Securities has not been and is not being registered under the 1933 Act or any applicable state securities laws, and the Securities may not be transferred unless (a) the Securities are sold pursuant to an effective registration statement under the 1933 Act, (b) the Buyer shall have delivered to the Company, at the cost of the Buyer, an opinion of counsel that shall be in form, substance and scope customary for opinions of counsel in comparable transactions to the effect that the Securities to be sold or transferred may be sold or transferred pursuant to an exemption from such registration, which opinion shall be accepted by the Company, (c) the Securities are sold or transferred to an “affiliate” (as defined in Rule 144 promulgated under the 1933 Act (or a successor rule) (“Rule 144”)) of the Buyer who agrees to sell or otherwise transfer the Securities only in accordance with this Section 2(f) and who is an Accredited Investor, (d) the Securities are sold pursuant to Rule 144, or (e) the Securities are sold pursuant to Regulation S under the 1933 Act (or a successor rule) (“Regulation S”), and the Buyer shall have delivered to the Company, at the cost of the Buyer, an opinion of counsel that shall be in form, substance and scope customary for opinions of counsel in corporate transactions, which opinion shall be accepted by the Company; (ii) any sale of such Securities made in reliance on Rule 144 may be made only in accordance with the terms of said Rule and further, if said Rule is not applicable, any re-sale of such Securities under circumstances in which the seller (or the person through whom the sale is made) may be deemed to be an underwriter (as that term is defined in the 1933 Act) may require compliance with some other exemption under the 1933 Act or the rules and regulations of the SEC thereunder; and (iii) neither the Company nor any other person is under any obligation to register such Securities under the 1933 Act or any state securities laws or to comply with the terms and conditions of any exemption thereunder (in each case). Notwithstanding the foregoing or anything else contained herein to the contrary, the Securities may be pledged as collateral in connection with a bona fide margin account or other lending arrangement.

g. Legends. The Buyer understands that the Note and, until such time as the Conversion Shares have been registered under the 1933 Act may be sold pursuant to Rule 144 or Regulation S without any restriction as to the number of securities as of a particular date that can then be immediately sold, the Conversion Shares may bear a restrictive legend in substantially the following form (and a stop-transfer order may be placed against transfer of the certificates for such Securities):

“NEITHER THE ISSUANCE AND SALE OF THE SECURITIES REPRESENTED BY THIS CERTIFICATE NOR THE SECURITIES INTO WHICH THESE SECURITIES ARE EXERCISABLE HAVE BEEN REGISTERED UNDER THE SECURITIES ACT OF 1933, AS AMENDED, OR APPLICABLE STATE SECURITIES LAWS. THE SECURITIES MAY NOT BE OFFERED FOR SALE, SOLD, TRANSFERRED OR ASSIGNED (I) IN THE ABSENCE OF (A) AN EFFECTIVE REGISTRATION STATEMENT FOR THE SECURITIES UNDER THE SECURITIES ACT OF 1933, AS AMENDED, OR (B) AN OPINION OF COUNSEL (WHICH COUNSEL SHALL BE SELECTED BY THE HOLDER), IN A GENERALLY ACCEPTABLE FORM, THAT REGISTRATION IS NOT REQUIRED UNDER SAID ACT OR (II) UNLESS SOLD PURSUANT TO RULE 144 OR RULE 144A UNDER SAID ACT. NOTWITHSTANDING THE FOREGOING, THE SECURITIES MAY BE PLEDGED IN CONNECTION WITH A BONA FIDE MARGIN ACCOUNT OR OTHER LOAN OR FINANCING ARRANGEMENT SECURED BY THE SECURITIES.”

The legend set forth above shall be removed and the Company shall issue a certificate without such legend to the holder of any Security upon which it is stamped, if, unless otherwise required by applicable state securities laws, (a) such Security is registered for sale under an effective registration statement filed under the 1933 Act or otherwise may be sold pursuant to Rule 144 or Regulation S without any restriction as to the number of securities as of a particular date that can then be immediately sold, or (b) such holder provides the Company with an opinion of counsel, in form, substance and scope customary for opinions of counsel in comparable transactions, to the effect that a public sale or transfer of such Security may be made without registration under the 1933 Act, which opinion shall be accepted by the Company so that the sale or transfer is effected. The Buyer agrees to sell all Securities, including those represented by a certificate(s) from which the legend has been removed, in compliance with applicable prospectus delivery requirements, if any. In the event that the Company does not accept the opinion of counsel provided by the Buyer with respect to the transfer of Securities pursuant to an exemption from registration, such as Rule 144 or Regulation S, within 2 business days, it will be considered an Event of Default under the Note.

DUE MAY 16, 2015

FOR VALUE RECEIVED, SearchCore, Inc. (the “Company”) promises to pay to the order of LG CAPITAL FUNDING, LLC and its authorized successors and permitted assigns ("Holder"), the aggregate principal face amount of One Hundred Five Thousand Dollars exactly (U.S. $105,000.00) on May 16, 2015 ("Maturity Date") and to pay interest on the principal amount outstanding hereunder at the rate of 8% per annum commencing on May 16, 2014. The interest will be paid to the Holder in whose name this Note is registered on the records of the Company regarding registration and transfers of this Note.  The principal of, and interest on, this Note are payable at 1218 Union Street, Suite #2, Brooklyn, NY 11225, initially, and if changed, last appearing on the records of the Company as designated in writing by the Holder hereof from time to time.  The Company will pay each interest payment and the outstanding principal due upon this Note before or on the Maturity Date, less any amounts required by law to be deducted or withheld, to the Holder of this Note by check or wire transfer addressed to such Holder at the last address appearing on the records of the Company.  The forwarding of such check or wire transfer shall constitute a payment of outstanding principal hereunder and shall satisfy and discharge the liability for principal on this Note to the extent of the sum represented by such check or wire transfer.  Interest shall be payable in Common Stock (as defined below) pursuant to paragraph 4(b) herein.

This Note is subject to the following additional provisions:

1. This Note is exchangeable for an equal aggregate principal amount of Notes of different authorized denominations, as requested by the Holder surrendering the same. No service charge will be made for such registration or transfer or exchange, except that Holder shall pay any tax or other governmental charges payable in connection therewith.
 
2. The Company shall be entitled to withhold from all payments any amounts required to be withheld under applicable laws.
 
3. This Note may be transferred or exchanged only in compliance with the Securities Act of 1933, as amended ("Act") and applicable state securities laws. Any attempted transfer to a non-qualifying party shall be treated by the Company as void. Prior to due presentment for transfer of this Note, the Company and any agent of the Company may treat the person in whose name this Note is duly registered on the Company's records as the owner hereof for all other purposes, whether or not this Note be overdue, and neither the Company nor any such agent shall be affected or bound by notice to the contrary. Any Holder of this Note electing to exercise the right of conversion set forth in Section 4(a) hereof, in addition to the requirements set forth in Section 4(a), and any prospective transferee of this Note, also is required to give the Company written confirmation that this Note is being converted ("Notice of Conversion") in the form annexed hereto as Exhibit A. The date of receipt (including receipt by telecopy) of such Notice of Conversion shall be the Conversion Date.
 
 
1

 
 
4. (a) The Holder of this Note is entitled, at its option, at any time after 180 days, to convert all or any amount of the principal face amount of this Note then outstanding into shares of the Company's common stock (the "Common Stock") without restrictive legend of any nature, at a price ("Conversion Price") for each share of Common Stock equal to 58% of the lowest trading price of the Common Stock as reported on the National Quotations Bureau OTCQB exchange which the Company’s shares are traded or any exchange upon which the Common Stock may be traded in the future ("Exchange"), for the ten prior trading days including the day upon which a Notice of Conversion is received by the Company (provided such Notice of Conversion is delivered by fax or other electronic method of communication to the Company after 4 P.M. Eastern Standard or Daylight Savings Time if the Holder wishes to include the same day closing price) with a floor of $0.0001 per share; provided, however, that in no event shall the Holder be entitled to convert any portion of this Note in excess of that portion of this Note upon conversion of which the sum of (1) the number of shares of Common Stock beneficially owned by the Holder and its affiliates (other than shares of Common Stock which may be deemed beneficially owned through the ownership of the unconverted portion of the Notes or the unexercised or unconverted portion of any other security of the Borrower subject to a limitation on conversion or exercise analogous to the limitations contained herein) and (2) the number of shares of Common Stock issuable upon the conversion of the portion of this Note with respect to which the determination of this proviso is being made, would result in beneficial ownership by the Holder and its affiliates of more than 9.99% of the outstanding shares of Common Stock. For purposes of the proviso to the immediately preceding sentence, beneficial ownership shall be determined in accordance with Section 13(d) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”), and Regulations 13D-G thereunder, except as otherwise provided in clause (1) of such proviso. If the floor of $0.0001 per share is triggered, than the discount shall increase from 42% to 52%, calculated against the floor price, such that the conversion price referenced above as 58% shall change to 48% of the floor price. If the shares have not been delivered within 3 business days, the Notice of Conversion may be rescinded. Such conversion shall be effectuated by the Company delivering the shares of Common Stock to the Holder within 3 business days of receipt by the Company of the Notice of Conversion. Once the Holder has received such shares of Common Stock, the Holder shall surrender this Note to the Company, executed by the Holder evidencing such Holder's intention to convert this Note or a specified portion hereof, and accompanied by proper assignment hereof in blank. Accrued, but unpaid interest shall be subject to conversion. No fractional shares or scrip representing fractions of shares will be issued on conversion, but the number of shares issuable shall be rounded to the nearest whole share. In the event the Company experiences a DTC “Chill” on its shares, the conversion price shall be decreased to 48% instead of 58% while that “Chill” is in effect (with an additional 5% reduction to 43% if the $0.0001 floor has been triggered).
 
(b) Interest on any unpaid principal balance of this Note shall be paid at the rate of 8% per annum. Interest shall be paid by the Company in Common Stock ("Interest Shares"). Holder may, at any time, send in a Notice of Conversion to the Company for Interest Shares based on the formula provided in Section 4(a) above. The dollar amount converted into Interest Shares shall be all or a portion of the accrued interest calculated on the unpaid principal balance of this Note to the date of such notice.
 
(c) During the first six months this Note is in effect, the Company may redeem this Note by paying to the Holder an amount as follows: (i) if the redemption is within the first 90 days this Note is in effect, then for an amount equal to 120% of the unpaid principal amount of this Note along with any interest that has accrued during that period, (ii) if the redemption is after the 91st day this Note is in effect, but less than the 150th day this Note is in effect, then for an amount equal to 130% of the unpaid principal amount of this Note along with any accrued interest and (iii) if the redemption is after the 151st day this Note is in effect, but less than the 180th day this Note is in effect, then for an amount equal to 140% of the unpaid principal amount of this Note along with any accrued interest This Note may not be redeemed after 180 days. The redemption must be closed and paid for within 3 business days of the Company sending the redemption demand or the redemption will be invalid and the Company may not redeem this Note.
 
 
2

 
 
(d) Upon (i) a transfer of all or substantially all of the assets of the Company to any person in a single transaction or series of related transactions, (ii) a reclassification, capital reorganization or other change or exchange of outstanding shares of the Common Stock, other than a forward or reverse stock split or stock dividend, or (iii) any consolidation or merger of the Company with or into another person or entity in which the Company is not the surviving entity (other than a merger which is effected solely to change the jurisdiction of incorporation of the Company and results in a reclassification, conversion or exchange of outstanding shares of Common Stock solely into shares of Common Stock) (each of items (i), (ii) and (iii) being referred to as a "Sale Event"), then, in each case, the Company shall, upon request of the Holder, redeem this Note in cash for 150% of the principal amount, plus accrued but unpaid interest through the date of redemption, or at the election of the Holder, such Holder may convert the unpaid principal amount of this Note (together with the amount of accrued but unpaid interest) into shares of Common Stock immediately prior to such Sale Event at the Conversion Price.
 
(e) In case of any Sale Event (not to include a sale of all or substantially all of the Company’s assets) in connection with which this Note is not redeemed or converted, the Company shall cause effective provision to be made so that the Holder of this Note shall have the right thereafter, by converting this Note, to purchase or convert this Note into the kind and number of shares of stock or other securities or property (including cash) receivable upon such reclassification, capital reorganization or other change, consolidation or merger by a holder of the number of shares of Common Stock that could have been purchased upon exercise of the Note and at the same Conversion Price, as defined in this Note, immediately prior to such Sale Event. The foregoing provisions shall similarly apply to successive Sale Events. If the consideration received by the holders of Common Stock is other than cash, the value shall be as determined by the Board of Directors of the Company or successor person or entity acting in good faith.
 
5. No provision of this Note shall alter or impair the obligation of the Company, which is absolute and unconditional, to pay the principal of, and interest on, this Note at the time, place, and rate, and in the form, herein prescribed.
 
6. The Company hereby expressly waives demand and presentment for payment, notice of non-payment, protest, notice of protest, notice of dishonor, notice of acceleration or intent to accelerate, and diligence in taking any action to collect amounts called for hereunder and shall be directly and primarily liable for the payment of all sums owing and to be owing hereto.

7. The Company agrees to pay all costs and expenses, including reasonable attorneys' fees and expenses, which may be incurred by the Holder in collecting any amount due under this Note.
 
8. If one or more of the following described "Events of Default" shall occur:
 
(a) The Company shall default in the payment of principal or interest on this Note or any other note issued to the Holder by the Company; or
 
(b) Any of the representations or warranties made by the Company herein or in any certificate or financial or other written statements heretofore or hereafter furnished by or on behalf of the Company in connection with the execution and delivery of this Note, or the Securities Purchase Agreement under which this note was issued shall be false or misleading in any respect; or
 
 
3

 
 
(c) The Company shall fail to perform or observe, in any respect, any covenant, term, provision, condition, agreement or obligation of the Company under this Note or any other note issued to the Holder; or
 
(d) The Company shall (1) become insolvent; (2) admit in writing its inability to pay its debts generally as they mature; (3) make an assignment for the benefit of creditors or commence proceedings for its dissolution; (4) apply for or consent to the appointment of a trustee, liquidator or receiver for its or for a substantial part of its property or business; (5) file a petition for bankruptcy relief, consent to the filing of such petition or have filed against it an involuntary petition for bankruptcy relief, all under federal or state laws as applicable; or
 
(e) A trustee, liquidator or receiver shall be appointed for the Company or for a substantial part of its property or business without its consent and shall not be discharged within sixty (60) days after such appointment; or
 
(f) Any governmental agency or any court of competent jurisdiction at the instance of any governmental agency shall assume custody or control of the whole or any substantial portion of the properties or assets of the Company; or
 
(g) One or more money judgments, writs or warrants of attachment, or similar process, in excess of fifty thousand dollars ($50,000) in the aggregate, shall be entered against the Company or any of its properties or other assets and shall remain unpaid, unvacated, unbonded or unstayed for a period of fifteen (15) days or in any event later than five (5) days prior to the date of any proposed sale thereunder; or
 
(h) (i) The Company shall have its Common Stock delisted from an exchange or trading marketplace (excluding the OTCQX, OTCQB, and OTC Pinks as long as the Company continues to file reports under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934) or, if the Common Stock trades on an exchange, then trading in the Common Stock shall be suspended for more than 10 consecutive days;
 
(j) If a majority of the members of the Board of Directors of the Company on the date hereof are no longer serving as members of the Board;
 
(k) The Company shall not deliver to the Holder the Common Stock pursuant to paragraph 4 herein without restrictive legend within 3 business days of its receipt of a Notice of Conversion; or
 
(l) The Company shall not replenish the reserve set forth in Section 12, within 3 business days of the request of the Holder.
 
 
4

 

Then, or at any time thereafter, unless cured within an allowable five (5) business days to cure, and in each and every such case, unless such Event of Default shall have been waived in writing by the Holder (which waiver shall not be deemed to be a waiver of any subsequent default) at the option of the Holder and in the Holder's sole discretion, the Holder may consider this Note immediately due and payable, all of which are hereby expressly waived, anything herein or in any note or other instruments contained to the contrary notwithstanding, and the Holder may immediately, and without expiration of any period of grace, enforce any and all of the Holder's rights and remedies provided herein or any other rights or remedies afforded by law. Upon an Event of Default, interest shall accrue at a default interest rate of 16% per annum or, if such rate is usurious or not permitted by current law, then at the highest rate of interest permitted by law. In the event of a breach of Section 8(k) the penalty shall be $250 per day the shares are not issued beginning on the 4th day after the conversion notice was delivered to the Company. This penalty shall increase to $500 per day beginning on the 10th day.

If either party shall commence an action or proceeding to enforce any provisions of this Note, including, without limitation, engaging an attorney, then if that party prevails in such action, the prevailing party shall be reimbursed by the other party for its attorneys’ fees and other costs and expenses incurred in the investigation, preparation and prosecution of such action or proceeding.
 
9. In case any provision of this Note is held by a court of competent jurisdiction to be excessive in scope or otherwise invalid or unenforceable, such provision shall be adjusted rather than voided, if possible, so that it is enforceable to the maximum extent possible, and the validity and enforceability of the remaining provisions of this Note will not in any way be affected or impaired thereby.
 
10. Neither this Note nor any term hereof may be amended, waived, discharged or terminated other than by a written instrument signed by the Company and the Holder.
 
11. The Company represents that it is not a “shell” issuer and has never been a “shell” issuer or that if it previously has been a “shell” issuer that at least 12 months have passed since the Company has reported form 10 type information indicating it is no longer a “shell issuer. Further, the Company will instruct its counsel to accept a Rule 144 or similar legal opinion from Holder’s counsel, provided such legal opinion is, in the reasonable determination of Company counsel, factually and legally correct.
 
12. The Company shall issue irrevocable transfer agent instructions reserving 9,347,000 shares of its Common Stock for conversions under this Note (the “Share Reserve”). The reserve shall be replenished as needed to allow for conversions of this Note. Upon full conversion of this Note, any shares remaining in the Share Reserve shall be cancelled. The Company shall pay all costs associated with issuing and delivering the shares.
 
 
5

 
 
13. The Company will give the Holder direct notice of any corporate actions, including but not limited to name changes, stock splits, recapitalizations etc. This notice shall be given to the Holder as soon as possible under law.
 
14. This Note shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of New York applicable to contracts made and wholly to be performed within the State of New York and shall be binding upon the successors and assigns of each party hereto. The Holder and the Company hereby mutually waive trial by jury and consent to exclusive jurisdiction and venue in the courts of the State of New York.

WHEREAS, to ensure its performance and as security for the payment obligations of Pledgor under the Notes, Pledgor has agreed to execute and deliver to Holder this Agreement.

3.  
PLEDGOR’S REPRESENTATIONS AND WARRANTIES
 
Pledgor hereby represents and warrants to the Holder, as of the Effective Date, as follows:
 
(a)   Clear Title to Collateral. Pledgor represents that it is the sole owner of the Collateral, having good and marketable title thereto, free and clear of any and all liens, encumbrances, claims, or rights of others created by any acts or omissions of Pledgor, except as created by this Agreement and the Sublease and other obligations to DCL (as defined in the Purchase Agreement).

(b)   Priority of Lien. This Agreement constitutes a valid and continuing lien on and security interest in the Collateral in favor of Holder, prior to all other liens, encumbrances, security interests and rights of others arising from any acts or omissions of Pledgor, except those of DCL as set forth in the Purchase Agreement, and is enforceable as such as against creditors of and purchasers from Pledgor.
 
4.  
EVENTS OF DEFAULT
 
The following events are Events of Default:
 
(a)   Default on Notes. The Pledgor is in default pursuant to Section 5 of the Notes.
 
(b)   Limitations Regarding Collateral.

Pledgor will, at Pledgor’s sole expense, defend the Collateral against and take such other action as is necessary to remove such Other Encumbrances and defend the right, title and interest of Holder in and to any of Pledgor’s rights to the Collateral, including without limitation any proceeds and products thereof, against the claims and demands of all persons.

5.  
HOLDER’S RIGHTS
 
(a)   Rights of Holder Upon Default. If there is an Event of Default the Holder may, at its option and at any time thereafter do the following: (1) declare the entire aggregate amount of the Notes then outstanding and the interest and other fees and expenses accrued thereon to be immediately due and payable without notice and without presentment, demand, protest, notice of protest, or other notice of default or dishonor of any kind, all of which are hereby expressly waived by the Pledgor; (2) require Pledgor to assemble the Collateral, including any books and records pertaining to the Collateral, and make them available to Holder at a place designated by Holder; (3) notify any account of Pledgor and any other person who shares Holder’ interest in the Collateral; (4) request confirmation of the status of any account of the Pledgor upon which account Pledgor is obligated; (5) require Pledgor to obtain Holder’ prior written consent to any sale, agreement to sell, or other disposition of any Collateral; or (6) remedy any default or waive any default without waiving the default remedies and without waiving any other prior or subsequent default.
 
(b)   Rights Under Uniform Commercial Code. Without limiting any of Holder’ rights and remedies under this Agreement, Holder may enforce the security interests and other liens given hereunder, and under the Notes and documents referred to herein or contemplated hereby, pursuant to the applicable Uniform Commercial Code and any other applicable law including all legal and equitable remedies available to lenders generally.
 
(c)   Payments of Taxes and Insurance. If Pledgor fails to pay any taxes, assessments, insurance premiums, or other amounts due to third parties as required by Pledgor on the Collateral, Holder may, in its discretion and without prior notice to Pledgor, make any such payment. Any payments made by Holder under this paragraph shall not constitute (i) an agreement by Holder to make similar payments in the future, or (ii) a waiver by Holder of any Event of Default under this Agreement. Holder need not inquire as to, or contest the validity of, any such expense, tax, security interest, encumbrance or lien, and the receipt of the notice for the payment thereof shall be conclusive evidence that the same was validly due and owing.
 
(d)   Rights and Remedies are Cumulative. All rights and remedies provided herein are cumulative and may be exercised singly or concurrently, and are not exclusive of any rights or remedies otherwise provided by law. Any single or partial exercise of any right or remedy shall not preclude the further exercise thereof or the exercise of any other right or remedy.

Holder shall not by any act, delay, omission or otherwise be deemed to have waived any of its rights or remedies hereunder, and no waiver shall be valid unless in writing, signed by Holder.

This Personal Guaranty (“Guaranty”) is dated May 19, 2014 and is hereby entered into by and between Brad Nelms, an individual (the “Guarantor”), on the one hand, and SearchCore, Inc., a Nevada corporation (“SearchCore”), on the other hand.

RECITALS

WHEREAS, pursuant to that certain Domain Name Purchase Agreement dated May 16, 2014 (the “Purchase Agreement”), and the Assignment, Assumption and Indemnity Agreement dated May 19, 2014 (the “Sublease Agreement”), Platinum Technology Ventures, LLC, a Nevada limited liability company (“Platinum”) has agreed to assume all the obligations of SearchCore under that certain  Lease Agreement dated August 8, 2013 and that certain Buyback Agreement dated August 8, 2013, both by and between SearchCore and Domain Capital, LLC (“DCL”)

WHEREAS, Guarantor has agreed to personally and unconditionally guarantee repayment by Platinum of all obligations arising under the Sublease Agreement (the “Guaranteed Amounts”) to SearchCore, in the event Platinum fails to repay any portion of the Sublease Agreement in accordance with its terms.

NOW, THEREFORE, for good and adequate consideration, the receipt of which is hereby acknowledged, the parties hereby agree as follows:

GENERAL TERMS

1. Beginning on the date hereof, in the event the Guaranteed Amounts have not been repaid in full by Platinum, (a) Guarantor hereby personally and unconditionally guarantees the payment of the Guaranteed Amounts under the Sublease Agreement to SearchCore in the event Platinum defaults for failure to pay DCL any portion of the obligations under the Sublease Agreement in accordance with its terms; and (b) Guarantor hereby agrees to reimburse SearchCore for any and all amounts of obligations under the Sublease Agreement that Platinum fails to pay under the terms of the Sublease Agreement, within ten (10) business days of being notified by SearchCore that Platinum has not fulfilled its payment obligations under the Sublease Agreement.

2. Guarantor is executing this Guaranty in order to induce SearchCore to agree to the terms of the Purchase Agreement and the Sublease Agreement.

3. This Guaranty is effective as of the date hereof and shall continue so long as Platinum owes DCL, or its assigns, money under the Sublease Agreement, or until such time as this Guaranty is terminated by the express written consent of Guarantor and SearchCore.

4. SearchCore and DCL may, without affecting Guarantor’s obligations herein: (i) grant renewals, extensions or modifications of the Sublease Agreement; or (ii) change the manner, place or terms of payment, and/or change or extend the time of payment of, renew or alter, any liability hereunder due by Guarantor to DCL or SearchCore.

5. The rights, powers and remedies given to SearchCore by this Guaranty are cumulative and shall be in addition to and independent of all rights, powers and remedies given to SearchCore by virtue of any statute or rule of law or under the Purchase Agreement or the Sublease Agreement or any other personal guaranties.  A separate action or actions may be brought and prosecuted against Guarantor whether action is brought against Platinum or any other guarantor, or whether Platinum or any other guarantor is joined in such action or actions.  Any forbearance or failure to exercise, and any delay by SearchCore in exercising, any right, power or remedy hereunder shall not impair any such right, power or remedy or be construed to be a waiver thereof, nor shall it preclude the further exercise of any such right, power or remedy.

6. Guarantor waives any right to require SearchCore to (a) proceed against Platinum or any other guarantor; or (b) pursue any remedy in SearchCore’s power whatsoever.  Guarantor waives any defense arising by reason of any disability or other defense of the SearchCore or by reason of the cessation from any cause whatsoever of the liability of the SearchCore under the Sublease Agreement.  Until any and all obligations under the Sublease Agreement are repaid in full by Platinum or Guarantor, Guarantor shall have no right of subrogation, and Guarantor waives any defense Guarantor may have based upon any election of remedies by SearchCore or DCL which limits or destroys Guarantor’s subrogation rights or Guarantor’s rights to seek reimbursement from SearchCore or DCL or any other guarantor or surety, including, without limitation, any loss of rights Guarantor may suffer by reason of any rights or protections of SearchCore or DCL or Guarantor in connection with any anti-deficiency laws or other laws limiting or discharging the indebtedness or the obligations of the SearchCore or DCL or Guarantor.  Until any and all obligations under the Sublease Agreement are repaid in full by Platinum or Guarantor to DCL, Guarantor waives any right to enforce any remedy Guarantor may have against SearchCore or any other guarantor, surety, or other person, and further, Guarantor waives any right to participate in any collateral for the indebtedness now or hereafter held by SearchCore.  Guarantor waives all presentments, demands for performance, notices of nonperformance, protests, notices of protest, notices of dishonor, and notices of acceptance of this Guaranty and of the existence, creation, or incurring of new or additional obligations.

7. Guarantor warrants and agrees that each of the waivers set forth above is made with Guarantor’s full knowledge of its significance and consequences and that, under the circumstances, the waivers are reasonable and not contrary to public policy or law.  If any such waiver is determined to be contrary to any applicable law or public policy, such waiver shall be effective only to the extent permitted by law or public policy.

8. Together with the Purchase Agreement and Sublease Agreement, this is the entire agreement of the parties and this agreement may be modified only by a written agreement executed by both parties.

9. In case any provision in, or obligation under, this Guaranty shall be invalid, illegal or unenforceable in any jurisdiction, the validity, legality and enforceability of the remaining provisions or obligations, or of such provision or obligation in any other jurisdiction, shall not in any way be affected or impaired thereby.

11. This Guaranty is binding upon the undersigned, his/her executors, administrators, successors or assigns, and shall inure to the benefit of SearchCore, his/her successors and assigns.

12. The Guarantor consents to the jurisdiction of the courts of the State of California and of any state and federal court located in the County of Orange, California.

13. In the event SearchCore shall refer this Guaranty to an attorney to enforce the terms hereof, the Guarantor agrees to pay all the costs and expenses incurred in attempting or effecting the enforcement of SearchCore’s rights, including reasonable attorney’s fees, whether or not suit is instituted.

READ THIS AGREEMENT CAREFULLY.  THIS IS AN AGREEMENT TO GUARANTY THE PAYMENT OF A DEBT OF ANOTHER.  THIS MEANS THAT YOU MAY HAVE TO PAY THE DEBT OR OBLIGATION OF THE LENDER UNDER THE NOTE.
