Notes to the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements (Unaudited)

 

Note 1 - Nature of Business & Organization

 

BioNeutral Group, Inc. (the “Company”) is a specialty chemical corporation seeking to develop and commercialize a novel combinational chemistry-based technology which it believes, in certain circumstances, may neutralize harmful environmental contaminants, toxins and dangerous micro-organisms including bacteria, viruses and spores. The Company currently operates its business through its subsidiary, BioNeutral Laboratories Corporation USA (“BioNeutral Laboratories” or “BioLabs”), a corporation organized in Delaware in 2003. The Company was incorporated in the State of Nevada on April 10, 2007 under the name “Moonshine Creations, Inc.,” and changed its name to “BioNeutral Group, Inc.” on December 22, 2008. 

 

On January 30, 2009, the Company entered into a share exchange agreement (the “Share Exchange Agreement”) with BioNeutral Laboratories pursuant to which it agreed to issue to the shareholders of BioNeutral Laboratories 45,000,000 shares of our common stock. Upon completion of this transaction, the former shareholders of BioNeutral Laboratories became the majority stockholders of the Company. Accordingly, the transaction was accounted for as a reverse merger and recapitalization of BioNeutral Group, Inc.

 

Note 2 – Liquidity and Financial Condition

 

The Company's unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements are prepared using generally accepted accounting principles applicable to a going concern which contemplates the realization of assets and liquidation of liabilities in the normal course of business. The Company has had no significant revenues and has generated losses from operations. In order to continue as a going concern and achieve a profitable level of operations, the Company will need, among other things, additional capital resources and to develop a consistent source of revenues. The ability of the Company to continue as a going concern is dependent upon its ability to successfully accomplish its strategic plan and/or recognize revenue from its intangible assets and eventually attain profitable operations. The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements do not include any adjustments that might be necessary if the Company is unable to continue as a going concern. There can be no assurance the Company will be able to continue as a going concern.

 

At July 31, 2014, the Company had negative working capital of $5,394,545. For the nine months ended July 31, 2014 the Company incurred a net loss of $2,922,853 and since inception has an accumulated deficit of $60,541,242. For the same period in 2013, the Company’s net loss was $2,529,497.  The Company anticipates it will experience a net loss in fiscal 2014 as it continues to pursue markets for the sale and distribution of its products and development of access to global markets.

 

The Company had $16,358 of cash at July 31, 2014.  Cash used by operations for the nine months ended July 31, 2014 was $711,520. The principal uses of funds were for consulting services supporting the development of its business plan, legal and accounting fees in connection with being a public company and daily operations of the business, including rent, travel and laboratory costs.  

 

During the nine months ended July 31, 2014, the Company raised $792,500 of cash from the issuance of convertible debentures to fund operations.

 

On July 9, 2014 the Company issued a convertible promissory note to JMJ financial in the amount of $250,000 of which it received payments through the date of this report of $60,000.  It expects to receive additional payments from JMJ under the note at various intervals during the fiscal year 2014.

 

While the Company has been able to use proceeds from the issuance of convertible promissory notes to fund a substantial balance of its operating costs, it does not expect that its funds will be sufficient to meet its anticipated needs through August 1, 2015 and it will need to raise additional capital during this period to fund the full costs associated with its growth and development. 

 

6
 

 

The Company believes that it will be able to generate significant sales by the second quarter of fiscal 2015 providing for sufficient cash flows to supplement its equity financing based on its current plans.  If it’s able to execute its plan, the Company can begin to accumulate cash reserves.  There is no assurance however that its funds will be sufficient to meet its anticipated needs through August 1, 2015, and it may need to raise additional capital during this period to fund the full costs associated with its growth and development. The Company believes that it will require approximately $2,000,000 in additional capital to achieve its goals. There can be no assurances that it will be successful in raising additional capital on favorable terms if at all. If the Company is unable to secure additional capital, it may be required to curtail its business development initiatives, impair its intellectual property and take additional measures to reduce cost in order to conserve cash.

 

These conditions raise substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern. Accordingly, the accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America, which contemplates continuation of the Company as a going concern and the realization of assets and the satisfaction of liabilities in the normal course of business. The carrying amounts of assets and liabilities presented in the financial statements do not necessarily purport to represent realizable or settlement values. The unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements do not include any adjustments that might result from the outcome of this uncertainty. 

 

Note 3 - Summary of Significant Accounting Policies

 

Basis of Presentation

 

The condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“GAAP”) for interim financial statements and with Form 10-Q and Article 8 of Regulation S-X of the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”). Accordingly, they do not contain all the information and footnotes required by GAAP for annual financial statements. The condensed consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company and its majority owned subsidiary. All significant intercompany balances and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation. In the opinion of the Company’s management, the accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements contain all the adjustments necessary (consisting only of normal recurring accruals) to make the financial position of the Company as of July 31, 2014 and the results of its operations for the three and nine months ended July 31, 2014 and 2013 and cash flows for the nine months ended July 31, 2014 and 2013 not misleading. The unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements for the quarterly periods ended July 31, 2014, and 2013 are not necessarily indicative of the operating results for the full year and it is suggested that these unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements be read in conjunction with the audited financial statements for the years ended October 31, 2013 and 2012 as contained in the Form 10-K filed on February 13, 2014.

 

Revenue recognition

 

The revenue recorded is presented net of sales and other taxes collected on behalf of governmental authorities and includes shipping and handling costs, which generally are included in the list price to the customer. Our policy is to recognize revenue in accordance with SEC Staff Accounting Bulletin No. 104 based on when (i) persuasive evidence of an arrangement exists, (ii) delivery or performance has occurred, (iii) the fee is fixed or determinable, and (iv) collectability of the sale is reasonably assured, which is normally the date the product is shipped.

 

Accounts Receivable and Allowance for Doubtful Accounts

 

Accounts receivable are stated at the amount the Company expects to collect. The Company provides an allowance for doubtful accounts equal to the estimated uncollectible amounts. The Company’s estimate is based on historical collection experience and a review of the current status of trade accounts receivable. It is reasonably possible that the Company’s estimate of the allowance for doubtful accounts will change. Accounts receivable are presented net of an allowance for doubtful accounts which was not material at both July 31, 2014 and October 31 2013.

 

7
 

 

Cash and Cash Equivalents

 

The Company considers all highly liquid investments with a maturity of three months or less when purchased to be cash equivalents. For financial statement purposes, investments in money market funds are considered a cash equivalent and are included in cash and cash equivalents. The Company maintains it cash and cash equivalents at high credit quality institutions, with balances, at times, in excess of federally insured limits. As of July 31, 2014, the Company did not exceed the federally insured limits. Management believed that the financial institution that holds its deposits are financially sound and therefore pose minimal credit risk. At July 31, 2014 and October 31 2013, the Company did not hold any cash equivalents.

 

Inventory

 

Inventories are stated at the lower of cost determined by the first-in, first-out method or market. In the normal course of business, when a customer places an order, the Company will place an order for manufacturing with its contract manufacturer. Inventory consists of finished goods and raw materials, both of which are immaterial and warehoused at our contract manufacturer.

 

Non-Controlling Interest

 

A non-controlling interest was created as a result of the Company’s reorganization and recapitalization with a public shell corporation. The non-controlling interest arose because the Company’s records indicated that initially 14% of the shareholders of the accounting acquirer in the transaction, BioLabs, did not participate in the exchange of their shares of common stock of BioLabs for shares of common stock of the Company. In all material respects, the shares of the Company and the shares of the common stock of BioLabs included in the non-controlling interest represent different legal instruments conveying mirror ownership claims to the same underlying net assets and operations, as reflected in these unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements.

  

Use of Estimates

 

The preparation of the financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the dates of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenue and expenses during the reporting periods. Actual results could differ from those estimates. These estimates and assumptions include valuing equity securities, share based payment arrangements, deferred taxes and related valuation allowances and estimating the fair value of long-lived assets to assess whether impairment charges may be necessary. Certain of our estimates, could be affected by external conditions, including those unique to our industry, and general economic conditions. It is possible that these external factors could have an effect on our estimates that could cause actual results to differ from our estimates. The Company re-evaluates all of its accounting estimates at least quarterly based on these conditions and record adjustments when necessary.

 

Fair Value Measurements

 

The Company adopted the provisions of ASC Topic 820, “Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures”, which  defines fair value as used in numerous accounting pronouncements, establishes a framework for measuring fair value and expands disclosure of fair value measurements.

 

Certain financial instruments, including cash and cash equivalents, accounts receivable, accounts payable and accrued expenses are carried at historical cost basis, which approximates their fair values because of the short-term nature of these instruments. The carrying amounts of our long-term credit obligations approximate fair value because the effective yields on these obligations are comparable to rates of returns for instruments of similar credit risk.

 

8
 

 

ASC 820 defines fair value as the exchange price that would be received for an asset or paid to transfer a liability (an exit price) in the principal or most advantageous market for the asset or liability in an orderly transaction between market participants on the measurement date. ASC 820 also establishes a fair value hierarchy, which requires an entity to maximize the use of observable inputs and minimize the use of unobservable inputs when measuring fair value. ASC 820 describes three levels of inputs that may be used to measure fair value:

 

Level 1 — quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities

 

Level 2 — quoted prices for similar assets and liabilities in active markets or inputs that are observable

 

Level 3 — inputs that are unobservable (for example cash flow modeling inputs based on assumptions)

 

Financial liabilities measured at fair value on a recurring basis are summarized below:

Convertible Instruments

 

  The Company evaluates and accounts for conversion options embedded in convertible instruments in accordance with ASC 815 “Derivatives and Hedging Activities.”

 

Applicable GAAP requires companies to bifurcate conversion options from their host instruments and account for them as free standing derivative financial instruments according to certain criteria. The criteria include circumstances in which (a) the economic characteristics and risks of the embedded derivative instrument are not clearly and closely related to the economic characteristics and risks of the host contract, (b) the hybrid instrument that embodies both the embedded derivative instrument and the host contract is not re-measured at fair value under other GAAP with changes in fair value reported in earnings as they occur and (c) a separate instrument with the same terms as the embedded derivative instrument would be considered a derivative instrument.

Stock-Based Compensation

 

The Company recognizes compensation expense for stock-based compensation in accordance with ASC Topic 718. For employee stock-based awards, the Company calculates the fair value of the award on the date of grant using the Black-Scholes method for stock options and the quoted price of its common stock for unrestricted shares; the expense is recognized over the service period for awards expected to vest. For non-employee stock-based awards, the Company calculates the fair value of the award on the date of grant in the same manner as employee awards, however, the awards are revalued at the end of each reporting period and the pro rata compensation expense is adjusted accordingly until such time the nonemployee award is fully vested, at which time the total compensation recognized to date equals the fair value of the stock-based award as calculated on the measurement date, which is the date at which the award recipient’s performance is complete. The estimation of stock-based awards that will ultimately vest requires judgment, and to the extent actual results or updated estimates differ from original estimates, such amounts are recorded as a cumulative adjustment in the period estimates are revised. The Company considers many factors when estimating expected forfeitures, including types of awards, employee class, and historical experience.

 

Net income (loss) per share

 

The Company utilizes FASB ASC 260, Earnings per Share, to calculate gain or loss per share. Basic gain or loss per share is computed by dividing the gain or loss available to common stockholders (as the numerator) by the weighted-average number of shares of common stock outstanding (as the denominator). Diluted gain or loss per share is computed similar to basic gain or loss per share except that the denominator is increased to include the number of additional shares of common stock that would have been outstanding if all potential common stock (including common stock equivalents) had all been issued, and if such additional shares of common stock were dilutive. Under FASB ASC 260, if the additional shares of common stock are not dilutive, they are not added to the denominator in the calculation. Where there is a loss, the inclusion of additional shares of common stock is anti-dilutive (since the increased number of shares reduces the per share loss available to common stock holders). The Company incurred a loss for the three and nine months ended July 31, 2014 and 2013 therefore, common stock equivalents have been excluded from the calculation of diluted loss per share. At the current range of market trading prices of the Company’s common stock, the Company does not possess enough authorized stock to convert all of its convertible instruments to common stock. For the Company to meet all of its obligations upon the receipt of notices of conversion received from holders of convertible instruments, the Company will may need to increase the authorized limit of common stock. With respect to the aggregate number of shares issuable to holders of convertible loans, the fair value of the conversion options are included in derivative liability. Convertible preferred stock and escow shares are clearly and closely related to the Company’s common stock and therefore do not require liability treatment.

 

The following table outlines the common stock equivalents outstanding as of July 31, 2014 and 2013.

Recent Accounting Pronouncements 

 

In June 2014, the FASB issued ASU 2014-12, Compensation - Stock Compensation. The amendments in this ASU apply to reporting entities that grant their employees share-based payments in which the terms of the award provide that a performance target can be achieved after the requisite service period. This ASU is the final version of Proposed ASU EITF-13D--Compensation--Stock Compensation (Topic 718): Accounting for Share-Based Payments When the Terms of an Award Provide That a Performance Target Could Be Achieved after the Requisite Service Period, which has been deleted. The amendments require that a performance target that affects vesting and that could be achieved after the requisite service period be treated as a performance condition. A reporting entity should apply existing guidance in Topic 718 as it relates to awards with performance conditions that affect vesting to account for such awards. As such, the performance target should not be reflected in estimating the grant-date fair value of the award. Compensation cost should be recognized in the period in which it becomes probable that the performance target will be achieved and should represent the compensation cost attributable to the period(s) for which the requisite service has already been rendered. If the performance target becomes probable of being achieved before the end of the requisite service period, the remaining unrecognized compensation cost should amount of compensation cost recognized during and after the requisite service period should reflect the number of awards that are expected to vest and should be adjusted to reflect those awards that ultimately vest. The requisite service period ends when the employee can cease rendering service and still be eligible to vest in the award if the performance target is achieved. As indicated in the definition of vest, the stated vesting period (which includes the period in which the performance target could be achieved) may differ from the requisite service period. The amendments in this ASU are effective for annual periods and interim periods within those annual periods beginning after December 15, 2015, and early adoption is permitted. The Company does not expect ASU 2014-12 to have a material impact on the consolidated financial statements.

In May 2014, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) 2014-09, Revenue from Contracts with Customers. Amendments in this ASU create Topic 606, Revenue from Contracts with Customers, and supersede the revenue recognition requirements in Topic 605, Revenue Recognition, including most industry-specific revenue recognition guidance throughout the Industry Topics of the Codification. In addition, the amendments supersede the cost guidance in Subtopic 605-35, Revenue Recognition—Construction-Type and Production-Type Contracts, and create new Subtopic 340-40, Other Assets and Deferred Costs—Contracts with Customers. In summary, the core principle of Topic 606 is that an entity recognizes revenue to depict the transfer of promised goods or services to customers in an amount that reflects the consideration to which the entity expects to be entitled in exchange for those goods or services. This ASU is the final version of Proposed ASU 2011-230—Revenue Recognition (Topic 605) and Proposed ASU 2011–250—Revenue Recognition (Topic 605): Codification Amendments, both of which have been deleted. The amendments in this ASU are effective for the Company for annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2016, including interim periods within that reporting period. The Company is currently evaluating the effects of ASU 2014-09 on the consolidated financial statements.

 

The FASB has issued ASU No. 2013-11, Income Taxes (Topic 740): Presentation of an Unrecognized Tax Benefit When a Net Operating Loss Carryforward, a Similar Tax Loss, or a Tax Credit Carryforward Exists (a consensus of the FASB Emerging Issues Task Force). U.S. GAAP does not include explicit guidance on the financial statement presentation of an unrecognized tax benefit when a net operating loss carryforward, a similar tax loss, or a tax credit carryforward exists. The amendments in this ASU state that an unrecognized tax benefit, or a portion of an unrecognized tax benefit, should be presented in the financial statements as a reduction to a deferred tax asset for a net operating loss carryforward, a similar tax loss, or a tax credit carryforward, except as follows. To the extent a net operating loss carryforward, a similar tax loss, or a tax credit carryforward is not available at the reporting date under the tax law of the applicable jurisdiction to settle any additional income taxes that would result from the disallowance of a tax position or the tax law of the applicable jurisdiction does not require the entity to use, and the entity does not intend to use, the deferred tax asset for such purpose, the unrecognized tax benefit should be presented in the financial statements as a liability and should not be combined with deferred tax assets. This ASU applies to all entities that have unrecognized tax benefits when a net operating loss carryforward, a similar tax loss, or a tax credit carryforward exists at the reporting date. The amendments in this ASU are effective for fiscal years, and interim periods within those years, beginning after December 15, 2013. For nonpublic entities, the amendments are effective for fiscal years, and interim periods within those years, beginning after December 15, 2014. Early adoption is permitted. The amendments should be applied prospectively to all unrecognized tax benefits that exist at the effective date. Retrospective application is permitted. The adoption of this standard is not expected to have a material impact on the Company’s results of operations, cash flows or financial position. 

 

Note 4 – Escrow Shares

 

On April 28, 2014, the Company entered into a Securities Purchase Agreement with Adar Bays, LLC (“Adar Bays”), a Florida Limited Liability Company for the sale and issuance of an 8% convertible promissory note in the principal amount of $77,500 due April 28, 2015 (the “AB Note”). In addition to the AB Note, the Company and Adar Bays entered into a back end funding arrangement with respect to a second 8% convertible promissory note due April 28, 2015 for $77,500 in consideration for a note receivable issued by Adar Bays to the Company in the amount of $77,500 (the “Back End Notes”). In connection with the Back End Notes, the Company and Adar Bays entered into a Breakup Fee Agreement, which grants a right to the Company to cancel the Back End Notes, prior to November 1, 2014, for a fee of $10,000. To secure the payment of the $10,000 breakup fee, the Company issued 14,285,000 shares of its common stock to an attorney escrow. Should the Company decide to perform on the Back End Notes the shares of stock will be returned to the Company from the attorney escrow. The 14,285,000 shares issued to attorney escrow were issued at $.0007 per share commensurate with the trading price of the Company’s common stock when the Back End Notes were issued.

Note 5 – Intellectual Property

 

The Company has several patent applications pending regarding proprietary chemical formulations that the Company believes are capable of neutralizing noxious chemicals and eliminating harmful microbes. The Company capitalized the costs of acquired technology, know-how and trade secrets and identifiable costs incurred to develop, file and defend the Company’s Intellectual Property and new patent or provisional patent applications (collectively “Intellectual Property”) in accordance with FASB ASC 350. Periodic gross carrying amounts and related accumulated amortization were as follows:

 

    7/31/2014   10/31/2013
Gross Carrying Amount  $15,256,688   $15,256,688 
Accumulated Amortization   (6,538,733)   (6,007,190)
Net Carrying Amount  $8,717,955   $9,249,498 

 

The Company follows FASB ASC 350-30-35 and amortizes the costs of its Intellectual Property over the shorter of its specific useful life, or 20 years. The Company is amortizing its Intellectual Property over 20 years, with no anticipated residual value.  Amortization expense for the three months ended July 31, 2014 and 2013 was $177,181 and $177,181, respectively. Amortization expense for the nine months ended July 31, 2014 and 2013 was $531,543 and $531,543, respectively.

 

Estimated amortization expense is as follows

 

10/31/2014 (Remaining)   177,181 
10/31/2015   708,723 
10/31/2016   708,723 
10/31/2017   708,723 
10/31/2018   708,723 

  

The Intellectual Property is evaluated annually for recoverability pursuant to FASB ASC 350-30-35-14 and related guidance in ASC 360-10-35-17 thru 35-35. An impairment loss is recognized if the asset is determined not to be recoverable and its carrying amount exceeds its fair value. We have reviewed long-lived assets and certain identifiable intangibles to be held and used for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances have indicated that the carrying amount of its assets might not be recoverable and have appropriately recorded the adjustment. Based on our review there were no indicators during the quarter ended July 31, 2014 that would cause impairment of intellectual property.

 

Note 6 - Related Party Payables

 

During the three months ended July 31, 2014 and 2013, the Company recorded interest of $518 and $518, respectively, and during the nine months ended July 31, 2014 and 2013, the Company recorded interest of $1,554 and $1,554, respectively, on promissory notes entered into with former members of the Board of Directors who resigned their positions with the Company on January 29, 2009.

Note 7 - Stock Based Compensation

 

The Company issues shares of its common stock to employees and non-employees as compensation for services provided. Stock based compensation related to employees is accounted for in accordance with FASB ASC 718-10 and ASC 505-50 for non-employees. All shares issued during fiscal years 2013 and 2012 were fully vested upon grant of the shares or no later than the respective year end dates.

 

Employees and Board Members

 

Measurement of compensation cost related to shares of common stock issued to employees is based on the grant date fair value of the shares. Fair value was determined through the use of quoted prices in the trading market for the Company’s shares (OTCBB) or arms-length exchanges of shares for cash in private transactions, in periods that quoted market prices were not available.

 

On April 11, 2014 the Company canceled 787,500 shares of its restricted common stock which had been issued to employees for compensation of $78,750 incurred in fiscal 2013. Upon return of the shares, the Company credited $78,750 to Accrued Compensation.

The additional shares of Common Stock could be used for potential strategic transactions, including, among other things, acquisitions, strategic partnerships, joint ventures, restructurings, business combinations and investments, although there are no immediate plans to do so. Assurances cannot be provided that any such transactions will be consummated on favorable terms or at all, that they will enhance stockholder value or that they will not adversely affect the Company's business or the trading price of the Common Stock. The purposes for increasing the authorized shares include providing available shares for (i) the exercise of all outstanding options; (ii) the conversion of outstanding convertible promissory notes and deferred compensation agreements; (iii) the conversion of the Series A, B, C and D Convertible Preferred Stock; (iv) future issuances of stock options pursuant to employees; and (v) issuances to satisfy conversions of future convertible debt or convertible preferred stock. The Company mailed the Notice of Stockholder Action by Written Consent to the Stockholders on May 5, 2014. The authorized share increase will become effective on the date that the Company files the Certificate of Amendment to the Amended Certificate of Incorporation of the Company (the "Amendment") with the Secretary of State of the State of Nevada.

At a meeting held on June 17, 2014, the Company received unanimous consent by the Board and by the holder of Series F Preferred Stock, no par value per share (the “Series F Preferred”), and authorized management to increase the number of shares authorized to seventeen billion shares (17,000,000,000). The additional nine billion (9,000,000,000) shares of Common Stock so authorized will be available for issuance by the Board for stock splits or stock dividends, acquisitions, raising additional capital, stock options or other corporate purposes. The additional shares of Common Stock could be used for potential strategic transactions, including, among other things, acquisitions, strategic partnerships, joint ventures, restructurings, business combinations and investments, although there are no immediate plans to do so. Assurances cannot be provided that any such transactions will be consummated on favorable terms or at all, that they will enhance stockholder value or that they will not adversely affect the Company's business or the trading price of the Common Stock. The purposes for increasing the authorized shares include providing available shares for (i) the exercise of all outstanding options; (ii) the conversion of outstanding convertible promissory notes and deferred compensation agreements; (iii) the conversion of the Series A, B, C and D Convertible Preferred Stock; (iv) future issuances of stock options pursuant to employees; and (v) issuances to satisfy conversions of future convertible debt or convertible preferred stock. The Company mailed the Notice of Stockholder Action by Written Consent to the Stockholders on July 2, 2014. The authorized share increase became effective on July 9, 2014 when the Company filed the Certificate of Amendment to the Amended Certificate of Incorporation of the Company (the "Amendment") with the Secretary of State of the State of Nevada. On July 1, 2014, the Company filed with the SEC a definitive Schedule 14C Information Statement thereby confirming the effectiveness of the preliminary Schedule 14C Information Statement filed on June 19, 2014.

 

On July 23, 2014, the Company filed a Schedule 14C Information Statement with the SEC to notify the stockholders of the Company of Management’s plan to increase the number of authorized shares of common stock from seventeen billion (17,000,000,000) to thirty seven billion (37,000,000,000) shares with the Secretary of State of Nevada. At a meeting held on July 21, 2014, the Company received unanimous consent by the Board and by the holder of Series F Preferred Stock, no par value per share (the “Series F Preferred”), and authorized management to increase the number of shares authorized to thirty seven billion (37,000,000,000) shares. The additional twenty billion (20,000,000,000) shares of Common Stock so authorized would have been available for issuance by the Board for stock splits or stock dividends, acquisitions, raising additional capital, stock options or other corporate purposes. The additional shares of Common Stock have been used for potential strategic transactions, including, among other things, acquisitions, strategic partnerships, joint ventures, restructurings, business combinations and investments, although there are were immediate plans to do so. Assurances cannot be provided that any such transactions would have been consummated on favorable terms or at all, that they would have enhanced stockholder value or that they would not have adversely affected the Company's business or the trading price of the Common Stock. The authorized share increase was withdrawn when the Company filed a Schedule 14C Information Statement with the SEC on August 18, 2014 to notify the stockholders of the Company of Management’s plan to amend the Company’s Articles of Incorporation, as amended, to effectuate a 1,000-to-1 reverse split of the Company’s Common Stock, par value $.00001 per share. The Company currently has not effectuated the increase in the authorization of its common stock from 17,000,000,000 to 37,000,000,000 or the 1,000 to 1 reverse split. At the current range of market trading prices of the Company’s common stock, the Company does not possess enough authorized stock to convert all of its convertible instruments to common stock. For the Company to meet all of its obligations upon the receipt of notices of conversion received from noteholders, the Company will may need to increase the authorized limit of common stock.

Derivative Financial Instrument

 

The Company evaluates and accounts for conversion options embedded in its convertible instruments in accordance with ASC 815, Derivatives and Hedging which requires issuers of financial statements to make a determination as to whether (1) an embedded conversion meets the definition of a derivative in its entirety and (2) the derivative would qualify for a scope exception to derivative accounting, which includes evaluating whether the embedded derivative would be considered indexed to the issuer’s own stock.

 

ASC 815 generally provides three criteria that, if met, require companies to bifurcate conversion options from their host instruments and account for them as separate derivatives in the event such derivatives would not be classified in stockholders’ equity if they were free standing. These three criteria include circumstances in which (a) the economic characteristics and risks of the embedded derivative instrument are not clearly and closely related to the economic characteristics and risks of the host contract, (b) the hybrid instrument that embodies both the embedded derivative instrument and the host contract is not re-measured at fair value under other applicable US GAAP with changes in fair value reported in earnings as they occur and (c) a separate instrument with the same terms as the embedded derivative instrument would be considered a derivative instrument subject to the requirements of ASC 815. ASC 815 also provides for an exception to this rule if a debt host instrument is deemed to be a conventional debt instrument.

 

The Company evaluated the conversion option embedded in its Convertible notes in accordance with the provisions of ASC 815 and determined that on the conversion date, the conversion option will have all of the characteristics of a derivative in its entirety and does not qualify for an exception to the derivative accounting rules. Specifically, because the exercise price of the conversion option is not fixed at any time during the term of the note. Accordingly, the embedded conversion options in the Convertible notes are classified as derivative liabilities at the conversion dates and are marked to market through earnings at the end of each reporting period. The fair value of the conversion option was determined using the Black Scholes valuation model which approximated the binomial lattice options pricing model. The gross proceeds of Convertible notes issued during the nine months ended July 31, 2014 were recorded net of a discount of $1,394,635 related to the derivative liability. The debt discount will be charged to amortization of debt discount ratably over the term of the Convertible notes. The Company recorded an amortization of the debt discount in the amount of $270,865 and $464,248 for the three and nine months ended July 31, 2014 and 2013 and $212,920 and $425,281 for three and nine months ended July 31, 2013, respectively.

 

Note 11 – Notes Payable 

 

On May 12, 2014, the Company issued a promissory note to Reed Smith LLP in the amount of $152,414, which bears interest at 6% per annum. The Company is obligated to make payments under this note in full in two installments. The first installment shall be in the amount of $50,000 of principal plus all accrued interest, and shall be due on December 31, 2014, without any requirement of demand or notice from Reed Smith LLP. The second installment shall be in the amount of $152,414 of principal plus all accrued interest (less any payments of principal previously made by the Company), and shall be due on June 1, 2015. The promissory note securitizes $152,414 of legal expenses incurred from 2007 through 2011, of which $136,848 had previously been recorded and classified on the Company’s balance sheet in “Accounts Payable and Accrued Expense” and $15,566 represents a reconciliation of outstanding legal invoices payable to Reed Smith LLP, which were not previously recorded by the Company. The balance outstanding including accrued interest was $155,755 at July 31, 2014. 

 

Note 12 – Commitments & Contingencies

 

Litigation

 

On September 13, 2013, the Company received a claim for arbitration from James Crane, a former Chief Financial Officer of the Company. Mr. Crane asserts claims against the Company for breach of contract, fraud, negligence, negligent misrepresentation, unjust enrichment and deceptive business practices related to unpaid fees and damages in the amount of $371,804 pursuant to a consulting agreement between Mr. Crane and the Company. The Company has retained counsel and is defending the matter. On July 22, 2014, the American Arbitration Association awarded Mr. Crane $55,264 which was accrued by the Company during the period ended July 31, 2014

On November 26, 2012, the Company filed a complaint against Raj Pamani, a shareholder and former director of the Company in the Superior Court of New Jersey Essex County: Chancery Division (“the Complaint”).  Included also as defendants were several entities to which in 2009 the Company awarded approximately 13 million shares of its common stock in consideration for consulting contracts which the Company has concluded were fraudulently induced and were later deemed to be worthless (the “Defendant Entities”).  By causing the Company to enter into the contracts to its detriment in favor of Mr. Pamani’s and the Defendant Entities self-enrichment, the Company seeks to recover damages incurred from the actions of Mr. Pamani and the Defendant Entities as a result of self-dealing, breach of fiduciary duty, breach of loyalty and fraud.  On March 21, 2014 the Superior Court of New Jersey Essex County: Chancery Division entered an order for final judgment in favor of BioNeutral. The final judgment demands the reimbursement to be made by the Defendant to BioNeutral of an aggregate amount of $412,900 payments caused by the Defendant Entities. Also contained within the final judgment with respect to the 13 million shares of its common stock in consideration for fraudulently induced consultant contracts, the Defendant Entities must return to BioNeutral any unsold stock certificates, and also, the Pamani Defendants must reimburse BioNeutral for any stock sold to innocent third parties in an amount to be determined by a further submission to the Court by BioNeutral.

 

On October 1, 2009, the SEC issued a formal order of investigation to the Company regarding possible securities laws violations by the Company and other persons.  The investigation concerns the process by which the Company became a publicly traded entity, trading in the Company’s shares, and disclosure and promotion of developments in the Company’s business.  The SEC has requested that the Company deliver certain documents to the SEC.  The Company has, and will continue to fully cooperate with the SEC with respect to its investigation.

 

The Company has incurred, and expects to continue to incur, significant costs in responding to such investigation.  Any adverse findings by the SEC in connection with such investigation could have a material adverse impact on the Company's business, including the Company's ability to continue to operate as a publicly traded company.

 

In April 2005, the Company filed in the US Patent and Trademark Office (the “USPTO”) an application for the registration of the trademarks BioNeutral™, Ogiene® and Ygiene™, based on its intent to use each of these marks in commerce.  In April 2006, the USPTO issued notices of allowance signifying that each of these trademarks was entitled to registration after timely submission of statements of use, including evidence that such trademarks have been properly used in commerce.  From June through November of 2008, however, the Company’s applications for each of these trademarks were declared abandoned by the USPTO, since the Company inadvertently failed to timely file the appropriate statements of use with respect to each trademark within the six-month period from the date the USPTO issued the respective notices of allowance.  In July 2009, the Company again submitted applications for each of these trademarks as well as the Company’s tagline SCIENCE TO SAVE LIVES & PROTECT THE ENVIRONMENT; however, the Company learned that PURE Bioscience, a company focused on the development and commercialization of bioscience products, had filed application for the registration of the trademarks BioNeutral™ and Ygiene™ prior to the Company’s resubmission of its applications.  Subsequently in 2011, the Company received trademark registration from the USPTO for Ygiene™, Ogiene™ and the Company’s tagline SCIENCE TO SAVE LIVES & PROTECT THE ENVIRONMENT™. The Company intends to pursue with the Trademark Trial and Appeal Board an opposition to PURE Bioscience's application with respect to BioNeutral™. The Company cannot assure you that it will be successful with such opposition on a timely basis, if at all. In May 2011, the Company received notice that PURE Bioscience filed a petition with the USPTO for cancellation of the Company’s Ygiene™ registration. On November 14, 2013 the USPTO issued an order for dismissal of PURE Bioscience’s petition to for cancellation of the Company’s Ygiene registration.

 

Other than the foregoing, the Company is not a party to, and none of the Company’s property is the subject of, any pending legal proceedings other than routine litigation that is incidental to the Company’s business.

Other Contingencies

 

Approximately 6 million shares issued in the Share Exchange were issued by the then transfer agent to stockholders of BioLabs for whom the Company does not have records as having consented to the Share Exchange. The Company currently holds approximately 91% of the outstanding interests in its subsidiary, BioLabs. The Company did not receive consents to the Share Exchange from all common and preferred shareholders of BioLabs, and the Company has accounted for those shareholders who did not sign consents as holders of the remaining 9% outstanding interests in BioLabs. The Share Exchange consents did not specify the number of shares of BioLabs common stock to be exchanged by the consenting shareholder and did not affirmatively make the representation and warranties to be made by our stockholders as set forth in the Share Exchange. In light of such omissions, there can be no assurances that a shareholder will not challenge the validity of its consent and request a rescission offer in respect of shares of common stock issued to such person. There can also be no assurances that in light of the content of such Shareholder consent, the Company had a basis for a valid private placement of its common stock issued in the Share Exchange, which if such were the case, may negatively affect our status as a publicly traded company.

 

In addition, the Company believes that the shareholders who consented to the Share Exchange and were issued shares of Company common stock but failed to deliver the stock certificates representing their shares of common stock and Series A Preferred Stock of BioLabs may claim they also have an ownership interest in BioLabs. Although the Company would challenge any such claims, it cannot assure investors that it would prevail, in which case the Company’s percentage ownership interest in BioLabs would decrease.

 

Note 13 - Subsequent Events 

 

Subsequent events have been evaluated through the date the financial statements were issued. All appropriate subsequent event disclosure, if any, have been made in the notes to the condensed consolidated financial statements.

 

On August 18, 2014, the Company filed a Schedule 14C Information Statement with the SEC to notify the stockholders of the Company of Management’s plan to amend the Company’s Articles of Incorporation, as amended, to effectuate a 1,000-to-1 reverse split of the Company’s Common Stock, par value $.00001 per share (the “Reverse Split”). At a meeting held on July 21, 2014, the Company received unanimous consent by the Board of Directors of the Company (the “Board”) and on July 31, 2014 by the holder of the Series F Preferred Stock, no par value per share (the “Series F Preferred”) to amend the Company’s Articles of Incorporation, as amended, to effectuate the Reverse Split. The Board is effectuating the Reverse Split, with the Series F Stockholder with the primary intent of increasing the market price of the Company’s Common Stock to make the Common Stock more attractive to a broader range of institutional and other investors. The Reverse Split will affect all holders of the Company’s Common Stock uniformly and will not affect any stockholder’s percentage ownership interest in the Company, except that as described below in “Fractional Shares,” record holders of Common Stock otherwise entitled to a fractional share as a result of the Reverse Split will be rounded up to the next whole number. In addition, the Reverse Split will not affect any stockholder’s proportionate voting power (subject to the treatment of fractional shares). The Company currently has not effectuated the Reverse Split.

 

On August 20, 2014 the Company received a notice of conversion from JMJ Financial and pursuant to the notice issued 270,000,000 shares of common stock to settle loan proceeds in the amount of $15,660.

 

The convertible promissory notes in consideration for outstanding consulting fees payable to John Sikora in the aggregate amount of $111,000, due on August 1, 2014 and September 20, 2014 are currently in default for nonpayment.

Recent Developments

 

Subsequent to October 31, 2013 the Company received notices of conversion from several note holders and pursuant to those notices issued 5,167,552,700 shares of common stock to settle loan proceeds in the aggregate amount of $865,513.

 

On August 18, 2014, the Company filed a Schedule 14C Information Statement with the SEC to notify the stockholders of the Company of Management’s plan to amend the Company’s Articles of Incorporation, as amended, to effectuate a 1,000-to-1 reverse split of the Company’s Common Stock, par value $.00001 per share (the “Reverse Split”). At a meeting held on July 21, 2014, the Company received unanimous consent by the Board of Directors of the Company (the “Board”) and on July 31, 2014 by the holder of the Series F Preferred Stock, no par value per share (the “Series F Preferred”) to amend the Company’s Articles of Incorporation, as amended, to effectuate the Reverse Split. The Board is effectuating the Reverse Split, with the Series F Stockholder with the primary intent of increasing the market price of the Company’s Common Stock to make the Common Stock more attractive to a broader range of institutional and other investors.   Accordingly, for these and other reasons discussed below, the Company believes that effecting the Reverse Split is in the Company’s and the Company’s stockholders’ best interests. The Board believes that an increased stock price may encourage investor interest and improve the marketability of the Common Stock to a broader range of investors, and thus enhance liquidity.  Because of the trading volatility often associated with low-priced stocks, many brokerage firms and institutional investors have internal policies and practices that either prohibit them from investing in low-priced stocks or tend to discourage individual brokers from recommending low-priced stocks to their customers.  Additionally, because brokers' commissions on lower-priced stocks generally represent a higher percentage of the stock price than commissions on higher-priced stocks, the current share price of the Common Stock can result in an individual stockholder paying transaction costs that represent a higher percentage of total share value than would be the case if the share price of the Common Stock were substantially higher.  This factor may also limit the willingness of institutions to purchase the Common Stock.  The Board of Directors believes that the anticipated higher market price resulting from the Reverse Split could enable institutional investors and brokerage firms with such policies and practices to invest in the Common Stock. The Reverse Split will affect all holders of the Company’s Common Stock uniformly and will not affect any stockholder’s percentage ownership interest in the Company, except that as described below in “Fractional Shares,” record holders of Common Stock otherwise entitled to a fractional share as a result of the Reverse Split will be rounded up to the next whole number. In addition, the Reverse Split will not affect any stockholder’s proportionate voting power (subject to the treatment of fractional shares). After the Reverse Split, the Company’s Common Stock will have new Committee on Uniform Securities Identification Procedures (CUSIP) numbers, which is a number used to identify the Company’s equity securities, and stock certificates with the older CUSIP numbers will need to be exchanged for stock certificates with the new CUSIP numbers by following the procedures described below. After the Reverse Split, the Company will continue to be subject to the periodic reporting and other requirements of the Exchange Act. The Common Stock will continue to be quoted on the OTC Pink, subject to any decision of the Company’s Board of Directors to list the Company’s securities on a stock exchange. The Reverse Split will not change the number of authorized shares of the Common Stock under the Company’s Articles. Because the number of issued and outstanding shares of Common Stock will decrease, the number of shares of Common Stock remaining available for issuance will increase. Under the Articles, as amended, the Company’s authorized capital stock currently consists of 17,000,000,000 shares of Common Stock. The Company mailed the Notice of Stockholder Action by Written Consent to the Stockholders on September 3, 2014. The authorized share increase will become effective on the date that the Company files the Certificate of Amendment to the Amended Certificate of Incorporation of the Company (the "Amendment") with the Secretary of State of the State of Nevada. The Company filed the Amendment with the Secretary of State of the State of Nevada on May 6, 2014. On May 6, 2014, the Company filed with the SEC a definitive Schedule 14C Information Statement thereby confirming the effectiveness of the preliminary Schedule 14C Information Statement filed on August 18, 2014. The Company currently has not effectuated the Reverse Split.

On July 30, 2014, the Company issued 50,000,000 shares of its restricted common stock to James Casserly for settlement of accrued and unpaid interest of $4,500 pursuant to a conversion notice received by the Company from Mr. Casserly on July 21, 2014. The shares were valued and issued at $0.00009 pursuant to the terms of his conversion privilege; a share price which was equal to 50% the preceding 10 day average closing trading price of the Company’s common stock.

 

On July 23, 2014, the Company filed a Schedule 14C Information Statement with the SEC to notify the stockholders of the Company of Management’s plan to increase the number of authorized shares of common stock from seventeen billion (17,000,000,000) to thirty seven billion (37,000,000,000) shares with the Secretary of State of Nevada. At a meeting held on July 21, 2014, the Company received unanimous consent by the Board and by the holder of Series F Preferred Stock, no par value per share (the “Series F Preferred”), and authorized management to increase the number of shares authorized to thirty seven billion (37,000,000,000) shares. The additional twenty billion (20,000,000,000) shares of Common Stock so authorized would have been available for issuance by the Board for stock splits or stock dividends, acquisitions, raising additional capital, stock options or other corporate purposes. The additional shares of Common Stock could be used for potential strategic transactions, including, among other things, acquisitions, strategic partnerships, joint ventures, restructurings, business combinations and investments, although there are no immediate plans to do so. Assurances cannot be provided that any such transactions will be consummated on favorable terms or at all, that they will enhance stockholder value or that they will not adversely affect the Company's business or the trading price of the Common Stock. The authorized share increase was withdrawn when the Company filed a Schedule 14C Information Statement with the SEC on August 18, 2014 to notify the stockholders of the Company of Management’s plan to amend the Company’s Articles of Incorporation, as amended, to effectuate a 1,000-to-1 reverse split of the Company’s Common Stock, par value $.00001 per share. The Company currently has not effectuated the increase in the authorization of its common stock from 17,000,000,000 to 37,000,000,000. At the current range of market trading prices of the Company’s common stock, the Company does not possess enough authorized stock to convert all of its convertible instruments to common stock. For the Company to meet all of its obligations upon the receipt of notices of conversion received from noteholders, the Company will need to increase the authorized limit of common stock.

 

On July 22, 2014, the American Arbitration Association awarded Mr. Crane $55,264.

Company Overview

 

We are a life science specialty technology corporation that has developed  a novel combinational chemistry-based technology which we believe can, in certain circumstances, neutralize harmful environmental contaminants, toxins and dangerous micro-organisms including bacteria, viruses and spores.  We are focused on developing and commercializing two classes of product formulations: (1) antimicrobials, which are formulations designed to kill certain harmful microscopic living organisms, and (2) bioneutralizer, which are formulations designed to destroy certain agents that are noxious and harmful to health and/or the environment.  We have not marketed any of our products and have not generated any meaningful product revenue to date.

 

We currently are focused on the commercialization of two classes of product formulations, antimicrobials and bioneutralizer.  We refer to our antimicrobial formulations as our Ygiene products and our bioneutralizer formulations as our Ogiene® products.  Our Ygiene products have been developed to kill certain harmful microbes, including virulent gram and bacteria (which cause staph infections), viruses, yeast, mold, fungi, spores and/or certain bioterrorism agents, such as anthrax.  Our Ogiene® products have been developed to eliminate or reduce odors of many chemicals such as hydrogen sulfide, formaldehyde and ammonia, and to reduce certain greenhouse gases such as carbon dioxide and sulfur dioxide.

 

The marketing and sale in the United States and foreign countries of some of our current products and the products we may develop in the future are and may be subject to U.S. and foreign governmental regulations, respectively, which vary substantially from country to country.  The marketing and sale of our Ygiene™ products in the United States, is subject to EPA registration and in some cases, FDA clearance, and we cannot market and sell any of such products in the United States until such registration or clearance is obtained.  We do not believe the marketing sale of our Ogiene™ products are subject to EPA registration or FDA clearance.  We have not had significant sales of our Ygiene™ or Ogiene® products to date.  We currently are focusing our efforts and resources on obtaining the registrations, clearances and approvals necessary to market and sell our Ygiene products in the United States; however, we cannot assure you that we will be have the financial resources to do so or that such registrations, clearances and approvals will be obtained on a timely basis, if at all.

  

Plan of Operation

 

Our strategic plan for our fiscal year ended October 31, 2014 is focused on leveraging developments in the United States for our Ygiene™ professional disinfectant product and continuing our work within the regulatory process of the U.S. for EPA registration of additional variations of Ygiene™. Our Ygiene™ professional disinfectant product and multipurpose cleaner and disinfectant product were registered and approved with the US EPA on February 28, 2011. Subsequently, we have registered Ygiene™ in 32 US states for sale and distribution. Our Ygiene™ was registered with the German Bundesanstalt für Arbeitsschutz und Arbeitsmedizin, a German government sanctioned institute for safety and health, on January 5, 2010 and November 30, 2009, respectively. As a result of such registrations, we are permitted to sell such Ygiene™ based products in Germany, although we have not sold any of our products in Germany and currently do not have adequate resources to attempt to make any such sales or to have our products manufactured for sale. We believe these registrations present us with a strong and dynamic platform for accessing well developed global markets for commercial use of our Ygiene™ professional disinfectant product and multipurpose cleaner and disinfectant product.

 

Currently, we are focusing our efforts on the development and commercialization of Ygiene ™ formulation for the markets of Healthcare and Life Sciences and Industrial Applications. We’ve developed our Ogiene™ products to potentially eliminate or reduce odors of many chemicals such as hydrogen sulfide, formaldehyde and ammonia, and to reduce certain greenhouse gases such as carbon dioxide and sulfur dioxide. Our Ogiene™ formulations are designed to interact with the functional organic or inorganic groups of harmful gases and reduce or eliminate them.

We believe that our products can offer a superior solution that addresses needs not currently being met in the marketplace for combating bacteria, viral and spore based threats. We further believe that our products can provide a distinct advantage when distinguishing them from those that are currently in use in our targeted markets. In addition, our core product is flexible and adaptable for multiple applications. Industry or use specific modifications made by our professional scientist allow our products to be readily customized to the demands of multiple unique markets.

 

We are emphasizing these strategic advantages as part of our brand development efforts to overcome competitive barriers to entry in markets that are driven by large, established organizations. The markets for our Ogiene™ and Ygiene™ products and each of their potential channels are highly competitive. We have a number of competitors that vary in size and scope and breadth of products offered. Such competitors include some of the largest corporations in the world, and we believe substantially all of our competitors have greater financial resources than we do, including in the areas of sales, marketing, and branding and product development. We expect to face additional competition from other competitors in the future.

 

Within healthcare and life sciences, most of our customer’s perform trial testing of our products prior to purchasing which can significantly lengthen the selling cycle. To date our marketing efforts have led to manytrials of our products. Our products have been ordered within the segments of university laboratory medical research, pharmaceutical manufacturing and veterinarian care.

 

Within the industrial marketplace our products are trial tested as well prior to purchasing thereby lengthening the selling cycle in most cases. We are working with independent selling groups to represent our products primarily being offered for mold remediation contractors

 

Based on the progress as noted above, we are generally pleased with the market reception of our products. Though the sales cycle has proved to be slower than originally planned for, management is generally encouraged by the current selling momentum and anticipates increases of new customers. We intend to expand our efforts to sell our products by offering them for sale through distribution. Recently we announced our new relationship with Quip Laboratories, a leading sales distribution company of biosafety products in the laboratory and biomedical research segments. We have other such relationships under consideration, and plan to vigorously pursue others to add to selling capacity.

  

Because Ogiene™ and Ygiene™ are new formulations enhanced from our initial base formulas, our success will depend, in part, upon our ability to achieve market share at the expense of existing, established and future products in our relevant target markets. Even if our Ogiene™ and Ygiene™ formulations may have technological competitive advantages over competing products, we or potential distributors, will need to invest significant resources in order to attempt to displace traditional technologies sold by what are in many cases well-known international industry leaders. Alternatively, we may pursue strategies in selective markets of encouraging existing competitors to incorporate our products into their existing brands, thereby reducing the proportion of end-use revenues that would accrue to us. To the extent that we were to grant any existing competitor exclusivity to any field and/or territory, we would risk having our technology marketed in a manner that may be less than optimal for us. We recognize that innovative marketing methods may be required in order to establish our products, and that such methods may not be successful.

Results of Operations

 

Comparison of Results of Operations for the three months ended July 31, 2014 and for the three months ended July 31, 2013.

 

Revenues:  During the three months ended July 31, 2014 the Company generated revenues of $8,861 as compared to revenues of $3,310 for the three months ended July 31, 2013. Our efforts have been focused on sales and marketing of our non-regulated Ogiene™ product line as well the sale of our Ygieneformulation in acute and long-term healthcare and industrial markets where pathogenic spores are present. We are carrying forward our commercialization strategy begun in 2013 by developing relationships with selling organizations and distributors.

 

Within healthcare and life sciences, most of our customer’s perform trial testing of our products prior to purchasing which can significantly lengthen the selling cycle. To date our marketing efforts have led to many trials of our products. Our products have been ordered within the segments of university laboratory medical research, pharmaceutical manufacturing and veterinarian care.

 

Within the industrial marketplace our products are trial tested as well prior to purchasing thereby lengthening the selling cycle in most cases. We signed independent selling groups to represent our products and we have approximately representatives throughout the United States marketing our products In addition, we established a relationship with an Ohio based distributor of medical products.

 

Based on the progress as noted above, we are generally pleased with the market reception of our products. Though the sales cycle has proved to be slower than originally planned for, management is generally encouraged by the current selling momentum and anticipates increases of new customers. We intend to expand our efforts to sell our products by offering them for sale through distribution. Recently we announced our new relationship with Quip Laboratories, a leading sales distribution company of biosafety products in the laboratory and biomedical research segments. We have other such relationships under consideration, and plan to vigorously pursue others to add to selling capacity.

 

Operating Expenses:   Operating expenses were $973,333 the three months ended July 31, 2014 and $829,293 for the three months ended July 31, 2013 for a 17% increase of $144,040. Our operating expenses consist of compensation of our executive and scientific staff, consulting expenses supporting development of, and regulatory approvals for, our products, legal and accounting services, and non-cash amortization of our intellectual property.

 

Amortization and depreciation expense was $177,234 for three months ended July 31, 2014 and 2013.

 

Salaries expense for the three months ended July 31, 2014 was $237,657, an decrease of 11% over amounts for the three months ended July 31, 2013, which were $266,737. Overall compensation was lower in the three months ended July 31, 2014 as the Company had less sales personnel in 2014.

 

Consulting fee expenses were $91,050 for the three months ended July 31, 2014 as compared to $252,417 for the three months ended July 31, 2013 for a 64% decrease of $161,367.  The decrease primarily reflects the overall reduction of sales consultants in 2014 to pivot the commercialization strategy in 2014 to engaging with distributors and private label contracts that require less involvement from the Company.

 

Total legal and accounting expenses for the three months ended July 31, 2014 were $191,797, an increase of $143,057 over amounts for the three months ended July 31, 2013 which were $48,740, reflecting legal fees associated with the James Crane matter.

 

Other Selling, General and Administrative Expenses for the three months ended July 31, 2014 were $275,595, an increase of $191,430 over amounts for the three months ended July 31, 2013 which were $84,165. The increase primarily reflects increases in investor relations expenses and the settlement award to Mr. Crane in the amount of $55,264.

 

Other Income and Expense for the three months ended July 31, 2014 were $304,524, a 10% increase of $28,117 over amounts for the three months ended July 31, 2013 which were $276,407.  The decrease is primarily due to an increase in interest expense of $241,049 reflecting additional convertible note borrowing and derivative liability expenses incurred in connection with issuing variable priced convertible securities at amounts greater than fair value for the three months ended July 31, 2014, an increase of the amortization of debt discount of $57,945, offset by a reduction in the change in fair value of derivative liability of 270,877.

 

38
 

 

Net Loss:  We experienced a net loss from operations before consideration of our Non-Controlling interest of $1,272,064 for the three months ended July 31, 2014. The discussion of operating expenses identifies the elements of the net loss.  For the same period in 2013, our net loss was $1,103,564.  We anticipate we will experience a net loss in fiscal 2014 as we continue to pursue regulatory approvals and further identify markets for the sale and distribution of our products.

 

Comparison of Results of Operations for the nine months ended July 31, 2014 and for the nine months ended July 31, 2013.

 

Revenues:  During the nine months ended July 31, 2014 the Company generated revenues of $30,093 as compared to revenues of $4,950 for the nine months ended July 31, 2013.

Analysis of Impairment

  

In conjunction with our 2013 audit, we performed our annual impairment testing during January 2014. In this analysis, we determined that the current carrying value of our Intellectual Property was $9,249,498.

 

We computed the Intellectual Property value by using an undiscounted cash model. In our undiscounted cash flow analysis, we prepared a five year forecast of our expected earnings to derive an explicit stream of expected free cash flows through October 31, 2018. We developed our revenue and direct variable costs forecast based on a variety of factors including our current and anticipated sales pipeline of prospects currently known to the Company, and those which the Company believes will be generated through current and future relationships with distributors, knowledge of our business and industry, general economic conditions in the marketplace and expectations of market opportunity with respect to the specific types of advertising services we provide. Our operating expenses are generally fixed and predictable; however, we increased our budgeted operating expenses by an amount that we believe is approximately equal to theoretical lease costs we would incur had our parent company not provided us with facilities that are not a component of operating costs in our goodwill reporting unit. After having determined the amount of our explicit year cash flows, we assumed that the Company would experience a long-term growth rate in free cash flows of 2% per annum thereafter. We then multiplied our cash flows by a marginal federal and state tax rate of 40% to derive our after-tax yearly cash flows. The Intellectual Property values we derived using the above exceeded the carrying value of our Intellectual Property of $9,249,498.

  

Liquidity and Capital Resources

 

The Company had $16,358 of cash at July 31, 2014.  Cash used by operations for the nine months ended July 31, 2014 was $711,520. The principal uses of funds were for consulting services supporting the development of our business plan, legal and accounting fees in connection with being a public company and daily operations of the business, including rent, travel and laboratory costs.  

 

During the nine months ended July 31, 2014, the Company raised $792,500 of cash from the issuance of convertible debentures to fund operations.

 

40
 

 

On July 9, 2014 the Company issued a convertible promissory note to JMJ financial in the amount of $190,000 of which it received payments through the date of this report of $60,000.  It expects to receive additional payments from JMJ under the note at various intervals during the fiscal year 2014.

 

While the Company has been able to use proceeds from the issuance of convertible promissory notes to fund a substantial balance of its operating costs, it does not expect that its funds will be sufficient to meet its anticipated needs through August 1, 2015 and it will need to raise additional capital during fiscal 2014 to fund the full costs associated with its growth and development. 

 

The Company believes that it will be able to generate significant sales by the second quarter of 2015 providing for sufficient cash flows to supplement its equity financing based on its current plans.  If it’s able to execute its plan, the Company can begin to accumulate cash reserves.  There is no assurance however that its funds will be sufficient to meet its anticipated needs through its fiscal year 2014, and it may need to raise additional capital during fiscal 2014 to fund the full costs associated with its growth and development. The Company believes that it will require approximately $2,000,000 in additional capital to achieve its goals. There can be no assurances that it will be successful in raising additional capital on favorable terms if at all. If the Company is unable to secure additional capital, it may be required to curtail its business development initiatives, impair its intellectual property and take additional measures to reduce cost in order to conserve cash.

 

These conditions raise substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern. Accordingly, the accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America, which contemplates continuation of the Company as a going concern and the realization of assets and the satisfaction of liabilities in the normal course of business. The carrying amounts of assets and liabilities presented in the financial statements do not necessarily purport to represent realizable or settlement values. The unaudited condensed financial statements do not include any adjustments that might result from the outcome of this uncertainty.

 

Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements

 

We do not have any off-balance sheet arrangements.

  

ITEM 4.  CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES

 

Evaluation of disclosure controls and procedures

 

As of the end of the period covered by this report, we conducted an evaluation, under the supervision and with the participation of our chief executive officer and chief financial officer of our disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Rule 13a-15(e) and Rule 15d-15(e) of the Exchange Act). Based upon this evaluation, our chief executive officer and chief financial officer concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures were effective to ensure that information required to be disclosed by us in the reports that we file or submit under the Exchange Act is: (1) accumulated and communicated to our management, including our chief executive officer and chief financial officer, as appropriate to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure; and (2) recorded, processed, summarized and reported, within the time periods specified in the SEC's rules and forms.

  

Changes in Internal Controls over Financial Reporting

 

During the nine months ended July 31, 2014, there were no changes in our internal control over financial reporting that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect our internal control over financial reporting.

PART II — OTHER INFORMATION

 

ITEM 1. LEGAL PROCEEDINGS

 

On September 13, 2013, the Company received a claim for arbitration from James Crane, a former Chief Financial Officer of the Company in 2009. Mr. Crane asserts claims against the Company for breach of contract, fraud, negligence, negligent misrepresentation, unjust enrichment and deceptive business practices related to unpaid fees and damages in the amount of $371,804 pursuant consulting agreement between Mr. Crane the Company. The Company has retained counsel and is defending the matter. On July 22, 2014, the American Arbitration Association awarded Mr. Crane $55,264.

 

On November 26, 2012, the Company filed a complaint against Raj Pamani, a shareholder and former director of the Company in the Superior Court of New Jersey Essex County: Chancery Division (“the Complaint”).  Included also as defendants were several entities to which in 2009 the Company awarded approximately 13 million shares of its common stock in consideration for consulting contracts which the Company has concluded were fraudulently induced and were later deemed to be worthless (the “Defendant Entities”).  By causing the Company to enter into the contracts to its detriment in favor of Mr. Pamani’s and the Defendant Entities self-enrichment, the Company seeks to recover damages incurred from the actions of Mr. Pamani and the Defendant Entities as a result of self-dealing, breach of fiduciary duty, breach of loyalty and fraud.  On March 21, 2014 the Superior Court of New Jersey Essex County: Chancery Division entered an order for final judgment in favor of BioNeutral. The final judgment demands the reimbursement to be made by the Defendant to BioNeutral of an aggregate amount of $412,900 payments caused by the Defendant Entities. Also contained within the final judgment with respect to the 13 million shares of its common stock in consideration for fraudulently induced consultant contracts, the Defendant Entities must return to BioNeutral any unsold stock certificates, and also, the Pamani Defendants must reimburse BioNeutral for any stock sold to innocent third parties in an amount to be determined by a further submission to the Court by BioNeutral.

Following entry of an Order by the Court in accordance with Paragraph 2 herein and the delivery by ASC and Company of the Stipulation of Dismissal (as defined below), in settlement of the Claims, the Company shall issue and deliver to ASC shares of its Common Stock (the "Settlement Shares") in one or more tranches as necessary,and subject to adjustment and ownership limitations as set forth below, sufficient to generate proceeds such that the aggregate Remittance Amount equals the Claim Amount. In addition, upon the execution of this Agreement, the Company shall issue to ASC a convertible promissory note in the amount of $15,000.00, maturing six (6) months from the date of issuance, to cover legal expenses (the "Legal Fee"). The Note shall have no registration rights, and shall be convertible into the common stock of the Company at 75% of the lowest closing bid price during the twenty (20) Trading Days prior to conversion.

BIONEUTRAL GROUP, INC.

 

PROMISSORY NOTE DUE MAY 31, 2014

 

THIS Note is a duly authorized issuance of up to $15,000.00 of BIONEUTRAL GROUP, INC., a Nevada corporation (the "Company") designated as its Note.

 

FOR VALUE RECEIVED, the Company promises to pay to ASC RECAP LLC, the registered holder hereof (the "Holder"), the principal sum of fifteen thousand and 00/100 Dollars (US $15,000.00) on May 31, 2014 (the "Maturity Date"). The principal of this Note is payable in United States dollars, at the address last appearing on the Note Register of the Company as designated in writing by the Holder. The Company will pay the outstanding principal amount of this Note in cash on the Maturity Date to the registered holder of this Note. The forwarding of such wire transfer shall constitute a payment 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 plus any amounts so deducted.

 

This Note is subject to the following additional provisions:

 

1.          The Note is exchangeable for an equal aggregate principal amount of Note 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.

 

2.          The Holder of this Note is entitled any time after the Maturity Date, subject to the following provisions, to convert all or a portion of the principal amount of this Note into shares of Common Stock at a conversion price for each share of Common Stock equal to the Current Market Price multiplied by seventy five percent (75%) (the "Conversion Price"). "Current Market Price" means the lowest closing bid price for the Common Stock as reported by Bloomberg, LP or, if not so reported, as reported on the over-the-counter market, for the twenty (20) trading days ending on the trading day immediately before the relevant Conversion Date (as defined below). The amount of shares issuable pursuant to a conversion shall equal the principal amount (or portion thereof) of the Note to be converted, divided by the Conversion Price.

1
 

Conversion shall be effectuated by surrendering the Note to the Company, accompanied by or preceded by facsimile or other delivery to the Company of the form of conversion notice attached hereto as Exhibit A, executed by the Holder evidencing such Holder's intention to convert a specified portion hereof. No fractional shares of Common Stock 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. The date on which notice of conversion is given (the "Conversion Date") shall be deemed to be the date on which the Holder faxes or otherwise delivers the conversion notice ("Notice of Conversion"), substantially in the form annexed hereto as Exhibit A, duly executed, to the Company. Facsimile delivery of the Notice of Conversion shall be accepted by the Company at facsimile number ( )________________ ATTN: Chief Financial Officer. Certificates representing Common Stock upon conversion will be delivered within three (3) business days from the Conversion Date. ("Delivery Date")

 

The Company understands that a delay in the issuance of the Shares of Common Stock beyond the Delivery Date (as defined in this Section) could result in economic loss to the Holder. As compensation to the Holder for such loss, the Company agrees to pay late payments to the Holder for late issuance of Shares upon Conversion, unless the delay is due to causes beyond the reasonable control of the Company or the Transfer Agent, in accordance with the following schedule (where "No. Business Days Late" refers to the number of business days which is beyond three (3)) business days after the Delivery Date):1

 

No. Business Days Late   Late Payment For Each $10,000
of Note Principal or Interest
Amount Being Converted
 
      
 1   $100 
 2   $200 
 3   $300 
 4   $400 
 5   $500 
 6   $600 
 7   $700 
 8   $800 
 9   $900 
 10   $1,000 
 >10   $1,000 + $200 for each Business 
      Day Late beyond 10 days 

 

2
 

 

The Company shall pay any payments incurred under this Section in immediately available funds upon demand as the Holder's remedy for such delay. Furthermore, in addition to any other remedies which may be available to the Holder, in the event that the Company fails for any reason to effect delivery of such shares of Common Stock by close of business on the Delivery Date, unless such failure is due to causes beyond the Company's reasonable control or that of its Transfer Agent, the Holder will be entitled to revoke the relevant Notice of Conversion by delivering a notice to such effect to the Company, whereupon the Company and the Holder shall each be restored to their respective positions immediately prior to delivery of such Notice of Conversion; provided, however, that an amount equal to any payments contemplated by this Section which have accrued through the date of such revocation notice shall remain due and owing to the Converting Holder notwithstanding such revocation.

 

If, by the relevant Delivery Date, the Company fails, unless such failure is due to causes beyond the Company's reasonable control or that of its Transfer Agent, for any reason to deliver the Shares to be issued upon conversion of the Note and after such Delivery Date, the Holder of the Note being converted (a "Converting Holder") purchases, in an arm's-length open market transaction or otherwise, shares of Common Stock (the "Covering Shares") in order to make delivery in satisfaction of a sale of Common Stock by the Converting Holder (the "Sold Shares"), which delivery such Converting Holder anticipated to make using the Shares to be issued upon such conversion (a "Buy-In"), the Converting Holder shall have the right, to require the Company to pay to the Converting Holder, in addition to and not in lieu of the amounts due hereunder (but in addition to all other amounts contemplated in other provisions of the Transaction Agreements, and not in lieu of any such other amounts), the Buy-In Adjustment Amount (as defined below). The "Buy-In Adjustment Amount" is the amount equal to the excess, if any, of (x) the Converting Holder's total purchase price (including brokerage commissions, if any) for the Covering Shares over (y) the net proceeds (after brokerage commissions, if any) received by the Converting Holder from the sale of the Sold Shares. The Company shall pay the Buy-In Adjustment Amount to the Company in immediately available funds immediately upon demand by the Converting Holder. By way of illustration and not in limitation of the foregoing, if the Converting Holder purchases shares of Common Stock having a total purchase price (including brokerage commissions) of $11,000 to cover a Buy-In with respect to shares of Common Stock it sold for net proceeds of $10,000, the Buy-In Adjustment Amount which Company will be required to pay to the Converting Holder will be $1,000.

 

In lieu of delivering physical certificates representing the Common Stock issuable upon conversion, provided the Company's Transfer Agent is participating in the Depository Trust Company ("DTC") Fast Automated Securities Transfer program, upon request of the Holder and its compliance with the provisions contained in this paragraph, so long as the certificates therefore do not bear a legend and the Holder thereof is not obligated to return such certificate for the placement of a legend thereon, the Company shall use its best efforts to cause its transfer agent to electronically transmit the Common Stock issuable upon conversion to the Holder by crediting the account of Holder's Prime Broker with DTC through its Deposit Withdrawal Agent Commission system.

 

3
 

 

The Holder of the Note shall be entitled to exercise its conversion privilege with respect to the Note notwithstanding the commencement of any case under 11 U.S.C. §101 et seq. (the "Bankruptcy Code").

Since the Holder will not be obligated to report to the Company the number of shares of Common Stock it may hold at the time of a conversion hereunder, unless the conversion at issue would result in the issuance of shares of Common Stock in excess of 9.999% of the then outstanding shares of Common Stock without regard to any other shares which may be beneficially owned by the Holder or an affiliate thereof, the Holder shall have the authority and obligation to determine whether the restriction contained in this Section will limit any particular conversion hereunder and to the extent that the Holder determines that the limitation contained in this Section applies, the determination of which portion of the principal amount of Note are convertible shall be the responsibility and obligation of the Holder. If the Holder has delivered a Conversion Notice for a principal amount of Note that would result in the issuance of in excess of the permitted amount hereunder, without regard to any other shares that the Holder or its affiliates may beneficially own, the Company shall notify the Holder of this fact and shall honor the conversion for the maximum principal amount permitted to be converted on such Conversion Date and, at the option of the Holder, either retain any principal amount tendered for conversion in excess of the permitted amount hereunder for future conversions or return such excess principal amount to the Holder. The provisions of this Section may be waived by a Holder (but only as to itself and not to any other Holder) upon not less than 65 days prior notice to the Company. Other Holders shall be unaffected by any such waiver.

9.          Nothing contained in this Note shall be construed as conferring upon the Holder the right to vote or to receive dividends or to consent or receive notice as a shareholder in respect of any meeting of shareholders or any rights whatsoever as a shareholder of the Company, unless and to the extent converted in accordance with the terms hereof.

 

IN WITNESS WHEREOF, the Company has caused this instrument to be duly executed by an officer thereunto duly authorized.

CONVERTIBLE PROMISSORY NOTE

 

BioNeutral Group, Inc., (hereinafter called the “Borrower” or “BONU”), hereby promises to pay to the order of WHC Capital, LLC, a Delaware Limited Liability Company, or its registered assigns (the “Holder”) the sum of $25,000 together with any interest as set forth herein, on July 11, 2015 (the “Maturity Date”), and to pay interest on the unpaid principal balance hereof at the rate of Twelve percent (12%) (the “Interest Rate”) per annum from the date hereof (the “Issue Date”) until the same becomes due and payable, whether at maturity or upon acceleration or by prepayment or otherwise.

 

This Note may not be prepaid in whole or in part except as otherwise explicitly set forth herein. Any amount of principal or interest on this Note which is not paid when due shall bear interest at the rate of twenty two percent (22%) per annum from the due date thereof until the same is paid (“Default Interest”). Interest shall commence accruing on the date that the Note is fully paid and shall be computed on the basis of a 365-day year and the actual number of days elapsed. All payments due hereunder (to the extent not converted into common stock) shall be made in lawful money of the United States of America.

 

All payments shall be made at such address as the Holder shall hereafter give to the Borrower by written notice made in accordance with the provisions of this Note. Whenever any amount expressed to be due by the terms of this Note is due on any day which is not a business day, the same shall instead be due on the next succeeding day which is a business day and, in the case of any interest payment date which is not the date on which this Note is paid in full, the extension of the due date thereof shall not be taken into account for purposes of determining the amount of interest due on such date. As used in this Note, the term “business day” shall mean any day other than a Saturday, Sunday or a day on which commercial banks in the city of New York, New York are authorized or required by law or executive order to remain closed. Each capitalized term used herein, and not otherwise defined, shall have the meaning ascribed thereto in the supporting documents of same date (attached hereto).

 

 
 

 

This Note is free from all taxes, liens, claims and encumbrances with respect to the issue thereof and shall not be subject to preemptive rights or other similar rights of shareholders of the Borrower and will not impose personal liability upon the holder thereof.

 

The following terms shall apply to this Note:

ARTICLE I. CONVERSION RIGHTS

 

1.1          Conversion Right. The Holder shall have the right and at any time during the period beginning on the date of this Note to convert all or any part of the outstanding and unpaid principal amount of this Note into fully paid and non- assessable shares of Common Stock, as such Common Stock exists on the Issue Date, or any shares of capital stock or other securities of the Borrower into which such Common Stock shall hereafter be changed or reclassified at the conversion price (the “Conversion Price”) determined as provided herein (a “Conversion”); 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 4.99% 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, provided, further, however, that the limitations on conversion may be waived by the Holder upon, at the election of the Holder, not less than 61 days’ prior notice to the Borrower, and the provisions of the conversion limitation shall continue to apply until such 61st day (or such later date, as determined by the Holder, as may be specified in such notice of waiver). The number of shares of Common Stock to be issued upon each conversion of this Note shall be determined by dividing the Conversion Amount (as defined below) by the applicable Conversion Price then in effect on the date specified in the notice of conversion, (the “Notice of Conversion”), delivered to the Borrower by the Holder in accordance with the Sections below; provided that the Notice of Conversion is submitted by facsimile or e-mail (or by other means resulting in, or reasonably expected to result in, notice) to the Borrower before 6:00 p.m., New York, New York time on such conversion date (the “Conversion Date”).

 

The term “Conversion Amount” means, with respect to any conversion of this Note, the sum of (1) the principal amount of this Note to be converted in such conversion plus (2) at the Borrower’s option, accrued and unpaid interest, if any, on such principal amount at the interest rates provided in this Note to the Conversion Date, plus (3) at the Borrower’s option, Default Interest, if any, on the amounts referred to in the immediately preceding clauses (1) and/or (2) plus (4) at the Holder’s option, any amounts owed to the Holder.

 

2
 

 

1.2          Conversion Price.

 

               (a)          Calculation of Conversion Price. Holder, at its discretion, shall have the right to convert this Note in its entirety or in part(s) into common stock of the Company valued at a Fifty Percent (50%) discount off the lowest intra-day trading price for the Company’s common stock during the Ten (10) trading days immediately preceding a conversion date, as reported by Quotestream.

 

               (b)          Conversion Price During Major Announcements. Notwithstanding anything contained in the preceding section to the contrary, in the event the Borrower (i) makes a public announcement that it intends to consolidate or merge with any other corporation (other than a merger in which the Borrower is the surviving or continuing corporation and its capital stock is unchanged) or sell or transfer all or substantially all of the assets of the Borrower or (ii) any person, group or entity (including the Borrower) publicly announces a tender offer to purchase 50% or more of the Borrower’s Common Stock (or any other takeover scheme) (the date of the announcement referred to in clause (i) or (ii) is hereinafter referred to as the “Announcement Date”), then the Conversion Price shall, effective upon the Announcement Date and continuing through the Adjusted Conversion Price Termination Date (as defined below), be equal to the lower of (x) the Conversion Price which would have been applicable for a Conversion occurring on the Announcement Date and (y) the Conversion Price that would otherwise be in effect. From and after the Adjusted Conversion Price Termination Date, the Conversion Price shall be determined as set forth in this Section. For purposes hereof, “Adjusted Conversion Price Termination Date” shall mean, with respect to any proposed transaction or tender offer (or takeover scheme) for which a public announcement as contemplated by this Section has been made, the date upon which the Borrower (in the case of clause (i) above) or the person, group or entity (in the case of clause (ii) above) consummates or publicly announces the termination or abandonment of the proposed transaction or tender offer (or takeover scheme) which caused this Section 1.2(b) to become operative.
 

1.3          Authorized Shares. The Borrower covenants that during the period the conversion right exists, the Borrower will reserve from its authorized and unissued Common Stock a sufficient number of shares, free from preemptive rights, to provide for the issuance of Common Stock upon the full conversion of this Note. The Borrower is required at all times to have authorized and reserved five times the number of shares that is actually issuable upon full conversion of the Note (based on the Conversion Price of the Notes in effect from time to time)(the “Reserved Amount”). The Reserved Amount shall be increased from time to time in accordance with the Borrower’s obligations.

 

The Borrower represents that upon issuance, such shares will be duly and validly issued, fully paid and non-assessable. In addition, if the Borrower shall issue any securities or make any change to its capital structure which would change the number of shares of Common Stock into which the Notes shall be convertible at the then current Conversion Price, the Borrower shall at the same time make proper provision so that thereafter there shall be a sufficient number of shares of Common Stock authorized and reserved, free from preemptive rights, for conversion of the outstanding Notes.

 

The Borrower (i) acknowledges that it has irrevocably instructed its transfer agent to issue certificates for the Common Stock issuable upon conversion of this Note, and (ii) agrees that its issuance of this Note shall constitute full authority to its officers and agents who are charged with the duty of executing stock certificates to execute and issue the necessary certificates for shares of Common Stock in accordance with the terms and conditions of this Note.

 

3
 

If, at any time the Borrower does not maintain the Reserved Amount it will be considered an Event of  Default as defined in this Note.

 

1.4          Method of Conversion.

 

               (a)          Mechanics of Conversion. This Note may be converted by the Holder in whole or in part at any time from time to time after the Issue Date, by (A) submitting to the Borrower a Notice of Conversion (by facsimile, e-mail or other reasonable means of communication dispatched on the Conversion Date prior to 6:00 p.m., New York, New York time).

 

               (b)          Surrender of Note Upon Conversion. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary set forth herein, upon conversion of this Note in accordance with the terms hereof, the Holder shall not be required to physically surrender this Note to the Borrower unless the entire unpaid principal amount of this Note is so converted. The Holder and the Borrower shall maintain records showing the principal amount so converted and the dates of such conversions or shall use such other method, reasonably satisfactory to the Holder and the Borrower, so as not to require physical surrender of this Note upon each such conversion. In the event of any dispute or discrepancy, such records of the Borrower shall, prima facie, be controlling and determinative in the absence of manifest error. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if any portion of this Note is converted as aforesaid, the Holder may not transfer this Note unless the Holder first physically surrenders this Note to the Borrower, whereupon the Borrower will forthwith issue and deliver upon the order of the Holder a new Note of like tenor, registered as the Holder (upon payment by the Holder of any applicable transfer taxes) may request, representing in the aggregate the remaining unpaid principal amount of this Note. The Holder and any assignee, by acceptance of this Note, acknowledge and agree that, by reason of the provisions of this paragraph, following conversion of a portion of this Note, the unpaid and unconverted principal amount of this Note represented by this Note may be less than the amount stated on the face hereof.

 

                (c)         Payment of Taxes. The Borrower shall not be required to pay any tax which may be payable in respect of any transfer involved in the issue and delivery of shares of Common Stock or other securities or property on conversion of this Note in a name other than that of the Holder (or in street name), and the Borrower shall not be required to issue or deliver any such shares or other securities or property unless and until the person or persons (other than the Holder or the custodian in whose street name such shares are to be held for the Holder’s account) requesting the issuance thereof shall have paid to the Borrower the amount of any such tax or shall have established to the satisfaction of the Borrower that such tax has been paid.

 

                (d)        Delivery of Common Stock Upon Conversion. Upon receipt by the Borrower from the Holder of a facsimile transmission or e-mail (or other reasonable means of communication) of a Notice of Conversion meeting the requirements for conversion as provided in this Section, the Borrower shall issue and deliver or cause to be issued and delivered to or upon the order of the Holder certificates for the Common Stock issuable upon such conversion within three (3) business days after such receipt (the “Deadline”) (and, solely in the case of conversion of the entire unpaid principal amount hereof, surrender of this Note) in accordance with the terms hereof and the Purchase Agreement. 

4
 

 

               (e)          Obligation of Borrower to Deliver Common Stock. Upon receipt by the Borrower of a Notice of Conversion, the Holder shall be deemed to be the holder of record of the Common Stock issuable upon such conversion, the outstanding principal amount and the amount of accrued and unpaid interest on this Note shall be reduced to reflect such conversion, and, unless the Borrower defaults on its obligations under this Article I, all rights with respect to the portion of this Note being so converted shall forthwith terminate except the right to receive the Common Stock or other securities, cash or other assets, as herein provided, on such conversion. If the Holder shall have given a Notice of Conversion as provided herein, the Borrower’s obligation to issue and deliver the certificates for Common Stock shall be absolute and unconditional, irrespective of the absence of any action by the Holder to enforce the same, any waiver or consent with respect to any provision thereof, the recovery of any judgment against any person or any action to enforce the same, any failure or delay in the enforcement of any other obligation of the Borrower to the holder of record, or any setoff, counterclaim, recoupment, limitation or termination, or any breach or alleged breach by the Holder of any obligation to the Borrower, and irrespective of any other circumstance which might otherwise limit such obligation of the Borrower to the Holder in connection with such conversion. The Conversion Date specified in the Notice of Conversion shall be the Conversion Date so long as the Notice of Conversion is received by the Borrower before 6:00 p.m., New York, New York time, on such date.

 

               (f)          Delivery of Common Stock by Electronic Transfer. In lieu of delivering physical certificates representing the Common Stock issuable upon conversion, provided the Borrower is participating in the Depository Trust Company (“DTC”) Fast Automated Securities Transfer (“FAST”) program, upon request of the Holder and its compliance with the provisions contained in Section 1.1 and in this Section 1.4, the Borrower shall use its best efforts to cause its transfer agent to electronically transmit the Common Stock issuable upon conversion to the Holder by crediting the account of Holder’s Broker with DTC through its Deposit Withdrawal Agent Commission (“DWAC”) system.

 

               (g)         Failure to Deliver Common Stock Prior to Deadline. Without in any way limiting the Holder’s right to pursue other remedies, including actual damages and/or equitable relief, the parties agree that if delivery of the Common Stock issuable upon conversion of this Note is not delivered by the Deadline (other than a failure due to the circumstances described in Section 1.3 above, which failure shall be governed by such Section) the Borrower shall pay to the Holder $2,000 per day in cash, for each day beyond the Deadline that the Borrower fails to deliver such Common Stock. Such cash amount shall be paid to Holder by the fifth day of the month following the month in which it has accrued or, at the option of the Holder (by written notice to the Borrower by the first day of the month following the month in which it has accrued), shall be added to the principal amount of this Note, in which event interest shall accrue thereon in accordance with the terms of this Note and such additional principal amount shall be convertible into Common Stock in accordance with the terms of this Note. The Borrower agrees that the right to convert is a valuable right to the Holder. The damages resulting from a failure, attempt to frustrate, interference with such conversion right are difficult if not impossible to qualify. Accordingly the parties acknowledge that the liquidated damages provision contained in this Section are justified. Any delay or failure of performance by the Borrower hereunder shall be excused if and to the extent caused by Force Majeure. For purposes of this agreement, Force Majeure shall mean a cause or event that is not reasonably foreseeable and/or caused by the Borrower, including acts of God, fires, floods, explosions, riots wars, hurricanes, etc.

1.5          Concerning the Shares. The shares of Common Stock issuable upon conversion of this Note may not be sold or transferred unless (i) such shares are sold pursuant to an effective registration statement under the Act or (ii) the Borrower or its transfer agent shall have been furnished with an opinion of counsel (which opinion shall be in form, substance and scope customary for opinions of counsel in comparable transactions) to the effect that the shares to be sold or transferred may be sold or transferred pursuant to an exemption from such registration or (iii) such shares are sold or transferred pursuant to Rule 144 under the Act (or a successor rule) (“Rule 144”) or (iv) such shares are transferred to an “affiliate” (as defined in Rule 144) of the Borrower who agrees to sell or otherwise transfer the shares only in accordance with this Section 1.5 and who is an Accredited Investor. Except as otherwise provided herein (and subject to the removal provisions set forth below), until such time as the shares of Common Stock issuable upon conversion of this Note have been registered under the Act or otherwise may be sold pursuant to Rule 144 without any restriction as to the number of securities as of a particular date that can then be immediately sold, each certificate for shares of Common Stock issuable upon conversion of this Note that has not been so included in an effective registration statement or that has not been sold pursuant to an effective registration statement or an exemption that permits removal of the legend, shall bear a legend substantially in the following form, as appropriate:

 

“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 Borrower shall issue to the Holder a new certificate therefore free of any transfer legend if (i) the Borrower or its transfer agent shall have received 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 Common Stock may be made without registration under the Act, which opinion shall be accepted by the Company so that the sale or transfer is effected or (ii) in the case of the Common Stock issuable upon conversion of this Note, such security is registered for sale by the Holder under an effective registration statement filed under the Act or otherwise may be sold pursuant to Rule 144 without any restriction as to the number of securities as of a particular date that can then be immediately sold. 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, at the Deadline, it will be considered an Event of Default pursuant to this note.

 

6
 

 

1.6          Effect of Certain Events.

 

               (a)         Effect of Merger, Consolidation, Etc. At the option of the Holder, the sale, conveyance or disposition of all or substantially all of the assets of the Borrower, the effectuation by the Borrower of a transaction or series of related transactions in which more than 50% of the voting power of the Borrower is disposed of, or the consolidation, merger or other business combination of the Borrower with or into any other Person (as defined below) or Persons when the Borrower is not the survivor shall either: (i) be deemed to be an Event of Default (as defined in Article III) pursuant to which the Borrower shall be required to pay to the Holder upon the consummation of and as a condition to such transaction an amount equal to the Default Amount (as defined in Article III) or (ii) be treated pursuant to Section 1.6(b) hereof. “Person” shall mean any individual, corporation, limited liability company, partnership, association, trust or other entity or organization.

 

               (b)        Adjustment Due to Merger, Consolidation, Etc. If, at any time when this Note is issued and outstanding and prior to conversion of all of the Notes, there shall be any merger, consolidation, exchange of shares, recapitalization, reorganization, or other similar event, as a result of which shares of Common Stock of the Borrower shall be changed into the same or a different number of shares of another class or classes of stock or securities of the Borrower or another entity, or in case of any sale or conveyance of all or substantially all of the assets of the Borrower other than in connection with a plan of complete liquidation of the Borrower, then the Holder of this Note shall thereafter have the right to receive upon conversion of this Note, upon the basis and upon the terms and conditions specified herein and in lieu of the shares of Common Stock immediately theretofore issuable upon conversion, such stock, securities or assets which the Holder would have been entitled to receive in such transaction had this Note been converted in full immediately prior to such transaction (without regard to any limitations on conversion set forth herein), and in any such case appropriate provisions shall be made with respect to the rights and interests of the Holder of this Note to the end that the provisions hereof (including, without limitation, provisions for adjustment of the Conversion Price and of the number of shares issuable upon conversion of the Note) shall thereafter be applicable, as nearly as may be practicable in relation to any securities or assets thereafter deliverable upon the conversion hereof. The Borrower shall not affect any transaction described in this Section 1.6(b) unless (a) it first gives, to the extent practicable, thirty (30) days prior written notice (but in any event at least fifteen (15) days prior written notice) of the record date of the special meeting of shareholders to approve, or if there is no such record date, the consummation of, such merger, consolidation, exchange of shares, recapitalization, reorganization or other similar event or sale of assets (during which time the Holder shall be entitled to convert this Note) and (b) the resulting successor or acquiring entity (if not the Borrower) assumes by written instrument the obligations of this Section 1.6(b). The above provisions shall similarly apply to successive consolidations, mergers, sales, transfers or share exchanges.

 

               (c)          Adjustment Due to Distribution. If the Borrower shall declare or make any distribution of its assets (or rights to acquire its assets) to holders of Common Stock as a dividend, stock repurchase, by way of return of capital or otherwise (including any dividend or distribution to the Borrower’s shareholders in cash or shares (or rights to acquire shares) of capital stock of a subsidiary (i.e., a spin-off)) (a “Distribution”), then the Holder of this Note shall be entitled, upon any conversion of this Note after the date of record for determining shareholders entitled to such Distribution, to receive the amount of such assets which would have been payable to the Holder with respect to the shares of Common Stock issuable upon such conversion had such Holder been the holder of such shares of Common Stock on the record date for the determination of shareholders entitled to such Distribution.

 

               (d)         Adjustment Due to Dilutive Issuance. If, at any time when any Notes are issued and outstanding, the Borrower issues or sells, or in accordance with this Section hereof is deemed to have issued or sold, any shares of Common Stock for no consideration or for a consideration per share (before deduction of reasonable expenses or commissions or underwriting discounts or allowances in connection therewith) less than the Conversion Price in effect on the date of such issuance (or deemed issuance) of such shares of Common Stock (a “Dilutive Issuance”), then immediately upon the Dilutive Issuance, the Conversion Price will be reduced to the amount of the consideration per share received by the Borrower in such Dilutive Issuance.

The Borrower shall be deemed to have issued or sold shares of Common Stock if the Borrower in any manner issues or grants any warrants, rights or options (not including employee stock option plans), whether or not immediately exercisable, to subscribe for or to purchase Common Stock or other securities convertible into or exchangeable for Common Stock (“Convertible Securities”) (such warrants, rights and options to purchase Common Stock or Convertible Securities are hereinafter referred to as “Options”) and the price per share for which Common Stock is issuable upon the exercise of such Options is less than the Conversion Price then in effect, then the Conversion Price shall be equal to such price per share. For purposes of the preceding sentence, the “price per share for which Common Stock is issuable upon the exercise of such Options” is determined by dividing (i) the total amount, if any, received or receivable by the Borrower as consideration for the issuance or granting of all such Options, plus the minimum aggregate amount of additional consideration, if any, payable to the Borrower upon the exercise of all such Options, plus, in the case of Convertible Securities issuable upon the exercise of such Options, the minimum aggregate amount of additional consideration payable upon the conversion or exchange thereof at the time such Convertible Securities first become convertible or exchangeable, by (ii) the maximum total number of shares of Common Stock issuable upon the exercise of all such Options (assuming full conversion of Convertible Securities, if applicable). No further adjustment to the Conversion Price will be made upon the actual issuance of such Common Stock upon the exercise of such Options or upon the conversion or exchange of Convertible Securities issuable upon exercise of such Options.

 

Additionally, the Borrower shall be deemed to have issued or sold shares of Common Stock if the Borrower in any manner issues or sells any Convertible Securities, whether or not immediately convertible (other than where the same are issuable upon the exercise of Options), and the price per share for which Common Stock is issuable upon such conversion or exchange is less than the Conversion Price then in effect, then the Conversion Price shall be equal to such price per share. For the purposes of the preceding sentence, the “price per share for which Common Stock is issuable upon such conversion or exchange” is determined by dividing (i) the total amount, if any, received or receivable by the Borrower as consideration for the issuance or sale of all such Convertible Securities, plus the minimum aggregate amount of additional consideration, if any, payable to the Borrower upon the conversion or exchange thereof at the time such Convertible Securities first become convertible or exchangeable, by (ii) the maximum total number of shares of Common Stock issuable upon the conversion or exchange of all such Convertible Securities. No further adjustment to the Conversion Price will be made upon the actual issuance of such Common Stock upon conversion or exchange of such Convertible Securities.

 

               (e)         Purchase Rights. If, at any time when any Notes are issued and outstanding, the Borrower issues any convertible securities or rights to purchase stock, warrants, securities or other property (the “Purchase Rights”) pro rata to the record holders of any class of Common Stock, then the Holder of this Note will be entitled to acquire, upon the terms applicable to such Purchase Rights, the aggregate Purchase Rights which such Holder could have acquired if such Holder had held the number of shares of Common Stock acquirable upon complete conversion of this Note (without regard to any limitations on conversion contained such Purchase Rights or, if no such record is taken, the date as of which the record holders of Common Stock are to be determined for the grant, issue or sale of such Purchase Rights.

               (f)          Notice of Adjustments. Upon the occurrence of each adjustment or readjustment of the Conversion Price as a result of the events described in this Section 1.6, the Borrower, at its expense, shall promptly compute such adjustment or readjustment and prepare and furnish to the Holder of a certificate setting forth such adjustment or readjustment and showing in detail the facts upon which such adjustment or readjustment is based. The Borrower shall, upon the written request at any time of the Holder, furnish to such Holder a like certificate setting forth (i) such adjustment or readjustment, (ii) the Conversion Price at the time in effect and (iii) the number of shares of Common Stock and the amount, if any, of other securities or property which at the time would be received upon conversion of the Note.

 

1.7          Trading Market Limitations. Unless permitted by the applicable rules and regulations of the principal securities market on which the Common Stock is then listed or traded, in no event shall the Borrower issue upon conversion of or otherwise pursuant to this Note and the other Notes issued pursuant to the Purchase Agreement more than the maximum number of shares of Common Stock that the Borrower can issue pursuant to any rule of the principal United States securities market on which the Common Stock is then traded (the “Maximum Share Amount”), which shall be 4.99% of the total shares outstanding on the Closing Date (as defined in the Purchase Agreement), subject to equitable adjustment from time to time for stock splits, stock dividends, combinations, capital reorganizations and similar events relating to the Common Stock occurring after the date hereof. Once the Maximum Share Amount has been issued, if the Borrower fails to eliminate any prohibitions under applicable law or the rules or regulations of any stock exchange, interdealer quotation system or other self-regulatory organization with jurisdiction over the Borrower or any of its securities on the Borrower’s ability to issue shares of Common Stock in excess of the Maximum Share Amount, in lieu of any further right to convert this Note, this will be considered an Event of Default under Section 3.3 of the Note.

 

1.8         Status as Shareholder. Upon submission of a Notice of Conversion by a Holder, (i) the shares covered thereby (other than the shares, if any, which cannot be issued because their issuance would exceed such Holder’s allocated portion of the Reserved Amount or Maximum Share Amount) shall be deemed converted into shares of Common Stock and (ii) the Holder’s rights as a Holder of such converted portion of this Note shall cease and terminate, excepting only the right to receive certificates for such shares of Common Stock and to any remedies provided herein or otherwise available at law or in equity to such Holder because of a failure by the Borrower to comply with the terms of this Note. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if a Holder has not received certificates for all shares of Common Stock prior to the tenth (10th) business day after the expiration of the Deadline with respect to a conversion of any portion of this Note for any reason, then (unless the Holder otherwise elects to retain its status as a holder of Common Stock by so notifying the Borrower) the Holder shall regain the rights of a Holder of this Note with respect to such unconverted portions of this Note and the Borrower shall, as soon as practicable, return such unconverted Note to the Holder or, if the Note has not been surrendered, adjust its records to reflect that such portion of this Note has not been converted. In all cases, the Holder shall retain all of its rights and remedies (including, without limitation, (i) the right to receive Conversion Default Payments pursuant to Section 1.3 to the extent required thereby for such Conversion Default and any subsequent Conversion Default and (ii) the right to have the Conversion Price with respect to subsequent conversions determined in accordance with Section 1.3) for the Borrower’s failure to convert this Note.

Whenever pursuant to this Note the Borrower is required to pay an amount in excess of the outstanding principal amount (or the portion thereof required to be paid at that time) plus accrued and unpaid interest plus Default Interest on such interest, the Borrower and the Holder agree that the actual damages to the Holder from the receipt of cash payment on this Note may be difficult to determine and the amount to be so paid by the Borrower represents stipulated damages and not a penalty and is intended to compensate the Holder in part for loss of the opportunity to convert this Note and to earn a return from the sale of shares of Common Stock acquired upon conversion of this Note at a price in excess of the price paid for such shares pursuant to this Note.

4.10        Remedies. The Borrower acknowledges that a breach by it of its obligations hereunder will cause irreparable harm to the Holder, by vitiating the intent and purpose of the transaction contemplated hereby. Accordingly, the Borrower acknowledges that the remedy at law for a breach of its obligations under this Note will be inadequate and agrees, in the event of a breach or threatened breach by the Borrower of the provisions of this Note, that the Holder shall be entitled, in addition to all other available remedies at law or in equity, and in addition to the penalties assessable herein, to an injunction or injunctions restraining, preventing or curing any breach of this Note and to enforce specifically the terms and provisions thereof, without the necessity of showing economic loss and without any bond or other security being required.

A. THE COMPANY’S COVENANTS.

 

1.           Conversion Privilege. The Buyer shall have the right, at its option, to convert the Purchased Debt plus accrued interest or any portion thereof into shares of Common Stock at any time following the date hereof. The number of shares of Common Stock issuable upon the conversion of the Purchased Debt is determined pursuant to the provisions below and shall be rounded to the nearest whole share.

 

 

 

2.           Full or Partial Conversion Rights.

The provisions of this Agreement that apply to the conversion of all of the Purchased Debt shall also apply to the conversion of a portion of it. The Purchased Debt may not be converted, whether in whole or in part, except in accordance with this Agreement or, at the option of the Buyer, under the terms of the original Promissory Note.

 

3.           Conversion Procedure. Upon the Company’s receipt of a facsimile or email (or by any other means, including mail, messenger, overnight courier, etc.) of Buyer’s duly completed and signed Notice of Conversion (a copy of which is attached hereto as Exhibit 2), the Company shall, or shall instruct its transfer agent to, issue one or more Certificates representing that number of shares of Common Stock into which the Purchased Debt are in accordance with the provisions regarding conversion.

If only a portion of the Purchased Debt is to be converted, the Company shall promptly reissue a Promissory Note pursuant to identical terms of the Purchased Debt in the amount of the unconverted portion of the principal and interest then owing on the Purchased Debt. The date on which the Notice of Conversion is effective (“Conversion Date”) shall be deemed to be the date on which the Buyer has delivered to the Company a facsimile or email original of the signed Notice of Conversion. Within 5 business days after the Conversion Date or within 3 business days after receipt of the Purchased Debt to be converted, whichever is later (the “Delivery Date”), the Company shall deliver to the Buyer, or per the Buyer’s instructions, to any third party, the shares of Common Stock to be issued pursuant to such Notice of Conversion.

5.           Common Stock to be Issued. Upon the conversion of Purchased Debt or any part thereof and upon receipt by the Company or its attorney of a facsimile, email or other copy or original of Buyer’s signed Notice of Conversion, Company shall instruct Company’s transfer agent to issue common stock shares in the name of Buyer (or its nominee) and in such denominations to be specified at conversion representing the number of shares of Common Stock issuable upon such conversion, as applicable. Company warrants that no instructions, other than these instructions, have been given or will be given to the transfer agent and that the Common Stock shall otherwise be freely transferable on the books and records of Company.

 

6.           Conversion Rate. Subject to the time limitations set forth above, Buyer is entitled to convert the principal and interest owed on the Note into Common Stock of the Company at a conversion price that is the lesser of (a) the conversion price designated in the Promissory Note dated July 13, 2013 or (b) 40% (the multiplier) of the lowest closing bid price as reported by Bloomberg for the Company’s Common Stock for the thirty (30) trading days immediately preceding the Conversion Date of such shares then quoted on any national securities exchange or other quotation service (such as OTC, Pink Sheets, etc.) (the “Conversion Price”); provided that if the Closing Bid Price for the common stock on the Clearing date (defined below) is lower than the Closing Bid Price, then the purchase price shall be adjusted such that the Discount shall be taken from the closing bid price on the Clearing Date, and the company shall issue additional shares to Purchaser to reflect such adjusted Purchase Price. For purposes of this Agreement, the Clearing Date shall be the latest date on which (i) the conversion shares are transferred to and deposited into the Buyer's brokerage account by the Company’s representatives or transfer agent and (ii) Buyer's broker has confirmed with Buyer that the Buyer may execute trades of the conversion shares. If such events occur after 5:30 PM Eastern Standard Time, the events shall be deemed to have occurred on the next trading day. No fractional shares or scrip representing fractions of shares will be issued on conversion, but the number of shares issuable shall be rounded up or down, as the case may be, to the nearest whole share.

 

7.           Chilled or Frozen Stock. A “chill” is a limitation of certain services available for a security on deposit at the Deposit Trust Corporation (DTC). A “freeze,” formally referred to as a “global lock,” is a complete restriction on all DTC services for a particular security on deposit at DTC. If the Company's common stock becomes chilled or frozen by the DTC at the time that any portion of the principal and interest of the Note is converted by the Buyer, then the Discount shall be adjusted to thirty percent (30%) for so long as the common stock is chilled or frozen.

8.            Company’s Responsibility to Issue Stock. It shall be the Company’s responsibility to take all necessary actions and bear any and all miscellaneous expenses that may arise as a result of conversion and delivery of shares of common stock in respect of the Note, including but are not limited to the cost of the issuance of a Rule 144 legal opinion, transfer agent fees, equity issuance and deposit fees, etc. At Purchaser’s option, any accrued costs paid by Purchaser may be subtracted from the dollar amount of any conversion of the Note. The person in whose name the certificate of Common Stock is to be registered shall be treated as a shareholder of record on and after the Conversion Date.

 

In the event the Common Stock is not delivered (with legends if required by applicable law and without legends if not required by applicable law) per the written instructions of the Buyer, within eight (8) business days after the Delivery Date, then in such event the Company shall pay to Buyer one-half percent (0.10%), in cash, of the dollar value of the Purchased Debt being converted per each business day following the Delivery Date, up to and including the eighteenth (18th) business day following the Delivery Date. Delays solely caused by the Buyer’s broker shall not be taken into account in this matter. In the event the Common Stock is not delivered per the written instructions of the Buyer, within eighteen (18) business days after the Delivery Date, then, except to the extent the delivery is delayed by operation of law, in such event the Company shall pay to Buyer one percent (1%), in cash, of the dollar value of the Purchased Debt being converted per each business day following such eighteenth (18th) business day after the Delivery Date. Buyer shall then be entitled to send written notice to the Company of the default and the Buyer, and at its sole option may demand full repayment of the Purchased Debt not yet converted, including accrued interest and liquidated damages through the date that written notice is given to the Company (the “Acceleration Amount”). If the Company does not wire the Acceleration Amount to the Buyer within five (5) business days of the delivery by Buyer by fax or email of the default notice, the Acceleration Amount shall accrue interest at twenty-four percent (24%) per annum. To the extent this provision is inconsistent with the original Debt instrument and any Notes referenced therein, this provision governs. Such notice shall not affect the Buyer’s rights to the Common Stock due under the Notice of Conversion and all rights and remedies related to such conversion set forth herein, and shall be in addition to such rights and remedies. The Company acknowledges that the failure to honor a Notice of Conversion shall cause definable financial hardship to the Buyer as well as substantial monetary damages, which cannot be determined at this time, and that this damages provision represents the parties’ reasonable estimate of liquidated damages.

4
 

 

If, by the eighth (8th) business day after the Delivery Date, due to the Company’s direct or indirect actions or its failure to act, the transfer agent fails for any reason to deliver the Common Stock (with legends if required by applicable law and without legends if not required by applicable law) upon conversion by the Buyer and after such Delivery Date, the Buyer purchases, in an open market transaction or otherwise, shares of Common Stock (the "Covering Shares") solely in order to make delivery in satisfaction of a sale of Common Stock by the Buyer (the "Sold Shares"), which delivery such Buyer anticipated to make using the Common Stock issuable upon conversion (a "Buy-In"), the Company shall pay to the Buyer, in addition to any other amounts due to Buyer pursuant to the Purchased Debt, and not in lieu thereof, the Buy-In Adjustment Amount (as defined below). The "Buy In Adjustment Amount" is the amount equal to the excess, if any, of (x) the Buyer's total purchase price (including brokerage commissions, if any) for the Covering Shares over (y) the net proceeds (after brokerage commissions, if any) received by the Buyer from the sale of the Sold Shares. The Company shall pay the Buy-In Adjustment Amount to the Buyer in immediately available funds within eight (8) business days of written demand by the Buyer.

 

9.            Buyer’s Right To Liquidated Damages. The Company acknowledges that its failure to deliver the Common Stock within eight (8) business days after the Delivery Date will cause the Buyer to suffer damages in an amount that will be difficult to ascertain. Accordingly, the parties agree that it is appropriate to include in this Agreement a provision for liquidated damages. The parties acknowledge and agree that the liquidated damages provision set forth in this section represents the parties’ good faith effort to quantify such damages and, as such, agree that the form and amount of such liquidated damages are reasonable and will not constitute a penalty. The payment of liquidated damages shall not relieve the Company from its obligations to deliver the Common Stock pursuant to the terms of this Agreement or to repay, with interest, including default interest, as applicable, the unconverted portion of the Purchased Debt.

 

10.        Liquidated Damages When There Are Not Sufficient Available Shares. To the extent that the failure of the Company to issue the Common Stock due upon conversion is due to the unavailability of authorized but unissued shares of Common Stock, the provisions of this Section shall apply.

 

a.           The Company shall at all times reserve and have available all Common Stock necessary to meet conversion of the Purchased Debt by Buyer of the entire amount of Purchased Debt then outstanding. If, at any time Buyer submits a Notice of Conversion and the Company does not have sufficient authorized but unissued shares of Common Stock available to effect, in full, a conversion of the Purchased Debt (a “Conversion Default”,  the date of such default being referred to herein as the “Conversion Default Date”), the Company shall issue to the Buyer all of the shares of Common Stock which are available, and the Notice of Conversion as to any Purchased Debt requested to be converted but not converted (the “Unconverted Purchased Debt”), upon Buyer’s sole option, may be deemed null and void. The Company shall provide notice of such Conversion Default (“Notice of Conversion Default”) to Buyer of outstanding Purchased Debt, by facsimile, within five (5) business days of such default (with the original delivered by overnight or two day courier), and the Buyer shall give notice to the Company by facsimile within five business days of receipt of the original Notice of Conversion Default (with the original delivered by overnight or two day courier) of its election to either nullify or confirm the Notice of Conversion.

5
 

 

b.           The Company agrees to pay to Buyer of outstanding Purchased Debt for a Conversion Default (“Conversion Default Payments”) in the amount of (N/365) x (.24) x the balance of the outstanding and/or tendered but not converted Purchased Debt held by each Buyer where N = the number of days from the Conversion Default Date to the date (the “Authorization Date”) that the Company authorizes a sufficient number of shares of Common Stock to effect conversion of all remaining Purchased Debt. The Company shall send notice (“Authorization Notice”) to Buyer of outstanding Purchased Debt that additional shares of Common Stock have been authorized, the Authorization Date and the amount of Buyer’s accrued Conversion Default Payments. The accrued Conversion Default Payments shall be paid in cash or shall be into Common Stock at the Conversion Rate, at the Buyer’s option, payable as follows: (i) in the event Buyer elects within ten (10) days of the Authorization Notice in writing to take such payment in cash, cash payments shall be made to such Buyer by the fifth day of the following calendar month, or (ii) if the Buyer does not so elect to receive such Conversion Default Payment in cash, such payment shall be made in Common Stock at the then current Conversion Price within 30 days following the date of the Authorization Notice. The Company acknowledges that its failure to maintain a sufficient number of authorized but unissued shares of Common Stock to effect in full a conversion of the Purchased Debt will cause the Buyer to suffer damages in an amount that will be difficult to ascertain. Accordingly, the parties agree that it is appropriate to include in this Agreement a provision for liquidated damages. The parties acknowledge and agree that the liquidated damages provision set forth in this section represents the parties’ good faith effort to quantify such damages and, as such, agree that the form and amount of such liquidated damages are reasonable and will not constitute a penalty. The payment of liquidated damages shall not relieve the Company from its obligations to deliver the Common Stock pursuant to the terms of this Agreement.

 

6
 

 

c.           Maximum Interest Rate. Nothing contained in this Agreement shall be deemed to establish or require the payment of interest to the Buyer at a rate in excess of the maximum rate permitted by governing law. In the event that the rate of interest required to be paid exceeds the maximum rate permitted by governing law, the rate of interest required to be paid thereunder shall be automatically reduced to the maximum rate permitted under the governing law and such excess shall be returned with reasonable promptness by the Buyer to the Company.

 

11.           Payment of Taxes. The Company shall pay all documentary stamp taxes, if any, attributable to the initial issuance of the Common Stock; provided, however, that the Company shall not be required to pay any tax or taxes which may be payable, (1) with respect to any secondary transfer of the Purchased Debt or the Common Stock issuable upon exercise hereof or (2) as a result of the issuance of the Common Stock to any person other than the Buyer, and the Company shall not be required to issue or deliver any certificate for any Common Stock unless and until the person requesting the issuance thereof shall have paid to the Company the amount of such tax or shall have produced evidence that such tax has been paid to the appropriate taxing authority.

 

12.           Restrictions on Transfers. The Purchased Debt has not been registered under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, (the “Act”) and is being issued under Section 4(2) of the Act and Rule 506 of Regulation D promulgated under the Act. The Purchased Debt and the Common Stock issuable upon the conversion thereof may only be offered or sold pursuant to registration under or an exemption from the Act.

 

13.           Mergers, Etc. If the Company merges or consolidates with another corporation or sells or transfers all or substantially all of its assets to another person and the Buyer is entitled to receive stock, securities or property in respect of or in exchange for Common Stock, then as a condition of such merger, consolidation, sale or transfer, the Company and any such successor, purchaser or transferee shall amend the Purchased Debt to provide that it may thereafter be converted on the terms and subject to the conditions set forth above into the kind and amount of stock, securities or property receivable upon such merger, consolidation, sale or transfer by Buyer of the number of shares of Common Stock into which the Purchased Debt might have been converted immediately before such merger, consolidation, sale or transfer, subject to adjustments which shall be as nearly equivalent as may be practicable to adjustments provided for in this Agreement.

 

7
 

 

The Company shall not consolidate or merge into, or transfer all or substantially all of its assets to, any person, unless such person assumes in writing the obligations of the Company under the Purchased Debt and immediately after such transaction no Event of Default exists. Any reference herein to the Company shall refer to such surviving or transferee corporation and the obligations of the Company shall terminate upon such written assumption. 

 

B. BUYER’S REPRESENTATIONS AND WARRANTIES. Buyer represents and warrants to Seller and to the Company that:

 

1.           Reliance on Exemptions. Buyer understands that the Transferred Rights are being offered and sold to it in reliance upon specific exemptions from the registration requirements of United States federal and state securities laws and that Seller and the Company are relying upon the truth and accuracy of, and Buyer’s compliance with, the representations, warranties, agreements, acknowledgments and understandings of Buyer set forth herein in order to determine the availability of such exemptions and the eligibility of the Buyer to acquire the relevant Transferred Rights.

 

2.           Non-affiliate Status. Buyer is not, and has not for in excess of ninety (90) days been, and subsequent to the Transfer Closing Date will not be, an “Affiliate” of the Company, as that term is defined by Rule 144 under the 1933 Act. Buyer is not acting in concert with any other person in a manner that would require their sales of securities to be aggregated for purposes of Rule 144 or would cause Buyer to be considered an “Underwriter” as that term is defined by Section 2 of the 1933 Act.

 

3.           Company Information. Buyer and its advisors, if any, have had access to all financial statements and disclosures made public through the SEC’s EDGAR system. Buyer and its advisors have been afforded the opportunity to ask questions of Seller. Neither such inquiries nor any other due diligence investigation conducted by Buyer or any of its advisors or representatives shall modify, amend or affect Buyer’s right to rely on Seller’s representations and warranties contained in Section 3 below. Buyer understands that its investment in Transferred Rights, including but not limited to the relevant Transferred Note (and/or in the Common Stock issuable thereunder), involves a significant degree of risk.

 

8
 

 

4.           Governmental Review. Buyer understands that no United States federal or state agency or any other government or governmental agency has passed upon or made any recommendation or endorsement of the Transferred Rights or of the Common Stock issuable thereunder.

 

5.           Transfer or Resale. Buyer understands that (i) the sale or resale of the Note and the Common Stock issuable thereunder has not been registered under the 1933 Act or any applicable state securities laws, and the Note and the Common Stock issuable thereunder may not be transferred unless (a) such security is sold pursuant to an effective registration statement under the 1933 Act, (b) the security is sold or transferred pursuant to an exemption from such registration, (c) the security is sold or transferred to an “affiliate” (as defined in Rule 144 promulgated under the 1933 Act or a successor rule; “Rule 144”) of Buyer who agrees to sell or otherwise transfer the security only in accordance with this Section and who is an Accredited Investor, or (d) (i) the Common Stock is sold pursuant to Rule 144, if such Rule is available; (ii) any sale of such Common Stock 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 resale of such Common Stock 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) and may require compliance with some other exemption under the 1933 Act or the rules and regulations of the SEC thereunder.

 

6.           Authorization; Enforcement. This Agreement has been duly and validly authorized by Buyer. This Agreement has been duly executed and delivered on behalf of Buyer, and this Agreement constitutes a valid and binding agreement of Buyer enforceable in accordance with its terms, except as such enforceability may be limited by applicable bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization, moratorium, liquidation or similar laws relating to, or affecting generally, the enforcement of creditors’ rights and remedies or by other equitable principles of general application.

 

7.           No Brokers. Buyer has taken no action which would give rise to any claim by any person for brokerage commissions, finder’s fees or similar payments relating to this Agreement or the transactions contemplated hereby.

 

C. SELLER’S REPRESENTATIONS AND WARRANTIES. Seller represents and warrants to Buyer that:

 

1.           Authorization; Enforcement. (i) Seller has all requisite power and authority to enter into and perform this Agreement and to consummate the transactions contemplated hereby and to sell the relevant Purchased Note in accordance with the terms hereof, (ii) the execution and delivery of this Agreement by Seller and the consummation by it of the transactions contemplated hereby (including without limitation, the sale of the relevant Transferred Rights to Buyer) have been duly authorized by Seller and no further consent or authorization of Seller or its members is required, (iii) this Agreement has been duly executed and delivered by Seller, and (iv) this Agreement constitutes a legal, valid and binding obligation of Seller enforceable against Seller in accordance with its terms, except as such enforceability may be limited by applicable bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization, moratorium, liquidation or similar laws relating to, or affecting generally, the enforcement of creditors’ rights and remedies or by other equitable principles of general application.

 

9
 

 

2.           Title. Seller has good and marketable title to the relevant Purchased Note and Transferred Rights, free and clear of all liens, pledges and encumbrances of any kind.

 

3.           No Conflicts. The execution, delivery and performance of this Agreement by Seller and the consummation by Seller of the transactions contemplated hereby (including, without limitation, the sale of the relevant Transferred Rights to Buyer) will not (i) violate or conflict with, or result in a breach of any provision of, or constitute a default (or an event which with notice or lapse of time or both could become a default) under, or give to others any rights of termination, amendment, acceleration or cancellation of, any agreement, note, bond, indenture or other instrument to which Seller is a party, or (ii) result in a violation of any law, rule, regulation, order, judgment or decree (including federal and state securities laws and regulations and regulations of any self-regulatory organizations to which Seller is subject) applicable to Seller or by which any property of the Seller are bound or affected. Except as specifically contemplated by this Agreement and as required under the 1933 Act and any applicable federal and state securities laws, neither Seller nor the Company is required to obtain any consent, authorization or order of, or make any filing or registration with, any court, governmental agency, regulatory agency, self-regulatory organization or stock market or any third party in order for it to execute, deliver or perform any of its obligations under this Agreement in accordance with the terms hereof. Except for filings that may be required under applicable federal and state securities laws in connection with the issuance and sale of the Seller’s Note, all consents, authorizations, orders, filings and registrations which Seller is required to obtain pursuant to the preceding sentence have been obtained or effected on or prior to the date hereof.

 

4.           No Brokers. Seller has taken no action which would give rise to any claim by any person for brokerage commissions, finder’s fees or similar payments relating to this Agreement or the transactions contemplated hereby.

 

5.           Title; Rule 144 Matters. Seller has owned the Original Note since the Issue Date. Seller is not, and for a period of at least ninety (90) days prior to the date hereof has not been, an “Affiliate” of the Company, as that term is defined in Rule 144 of the 1933 Act listed immediately below. Subsequent to the Transfer Closing Date, Seller will take no action which would adversely affect the tacking for the benefit of the Buyer of Seller’s holding period under Rule 144.

 

10
 

 

An Affiliate of an issuer is a person that directly, or indirectly through one or more intermediaries, controls, or is controlled by, or is under common control with, such issuer.

 

The term person when used with reference to a person for whose account securities are to be sold in reliance upon this section includes, in addition to such person, all of the following persons:

 

(i)           Any relative or spouse of such person, or any relative of such spouse, any one of whom has the same home as such person;

 

(ii)         Any trust or estate in which such person or any of the persons specified in paragraph (i) of this section collectively own 10 percent or more of the total beneficial interest or of which any of such persons serve as trustee, executor or in any similar capacity; and

 

(iii)        Any corporation or other organization (other than the issuer) in which such person or any of the persons specified in paragraph C.5.(i) of this section are the beneficial owners collectively of 10 percent or more of any class of equity securities or 10 percent or more of the equity interest.

 

6.         No Other Representations. Seller makes no representations or warranties with respect to the Company, its financial status, earnings, assets, liabilities, corporate status or any other matter. The Seller acknowledges that Buyer is relying on Seller’s representations as a material condition to entering into this Agreement.

 

D. REPRESENTATIONS AND WARRANTIES OF COMPANY

 

Company represents and warrants that at the time of the execution of this Agreement and at the Closing thereof:

 

1.           MARKETABLE TITLE: To the best knowledge and information of the Company, the Seller is conveying to Buyer good and marketable title in and to the Purchased Debt, free and clear of any and all liens, claims, encumbrances.

 

2.           Rule 144. The Company covenants and agrees to take all reasonable steps necessary or appropriate, including providing an opinion of counsel confirming the rights of Buyer to sell shares of Common Stock issued to Buyer on conversion of the Note pursuant to Rule 144 as promulgated by the SEC ("Rule 144"), as such Rule may be in effect from time to time. If the Company does not promptly provide an opinion from Company counsel, and so long as the requested sale may be made pursuant to Rule 144, the Company agrees to accept an opinion of counsel to the Buyer which opinion will be issued at the Company's expense. 

 

11
 

 

3.          VALIDITY OF THE PURCHASED DEBT: All of the Purchased Debt being sold by Seller to Buyer under the concurrently executed Debt Purchase Agreement is validly issued, outstanding, unpaid and assignable. The date for purposes of Rule 144 tacks back to the original date of the Debt, July 13, 2013 or such earlier date as the law prescribes. The Purchased Debt is convertible at the rate and in the manner of conversion prescribed by the Promissory Note dated July 13, 2013, except as prescribed by this Agreement. After the Closing Date, all interest accruing and to be paid on account of the $50,000 principal balance of the Purchased Debt and all other rights with respect to the Purchased Debt under the original Promissory Note inure to the benefit of Buyer, rather than Seller. In the event of a conflict, the terms of this Agreement shall govern the terms of conversion by the Seller of the Purchased Debt or any part of such Purchased Debt. If there is no conflict, then the terms of both agreements govern the conversion of the Purchased Debt by Buyer. The Company has obtained an opinion of counsel that the Purchased Debt is convertible into free trading common stock of the Company. The opinion is attached to the Debt Purchase Agreement as Exhibit 4. In order to obtain such opinion, certain representations were made by the Company and the Seller. The Company represents that the Company is in agreement with such representations and has no information contrary to such representations.

 

4.          TRANSFERRABILLITY OF THE DEBT: The Company acknowledges that the Buyer intends to transfer a portion of the Purchased Debt to certain other individuals and the Company represents that such transferees shall have the right to convert any of the Purchased Debt being transferred to them into free trading shares pursuant to the opinion discussed immediately above. The transferees shall have the right to rely on the Seller's representations herein.

 

5.          AUTHORITY. (i) The Company, and the person signing on its behalf below, has all requisite power and authority to enter into and perform this Agreement and to consummate the transactions contemplated hereby in accordance with the terms hereof, (ii) the execution and delivery of this Agreement by the Company and the consummation by it of the transactions contemplated hereby (including without limitation, the sale of the relevant Purchased Debt to Buyer) have been duly authorized by the Company and no further consent or authorization of the Company or its members is required, (iii) this Agreement has been duly executed and delivered by the Company, and (iv) this Agreement constitutes a legal, valid and binding obligation of the Company enforceable against the Company in accordance with its terms, except as such enforceability may be limited by applicable bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization, moratorium, liquidation or similar laws relating to, or affecting generally, the enforcement of creditors' rights and remedies or by other equitable principles of general application. 

 

12
 

 

6.          Capitalization. All of the outstanding shares of capital stock are, or upon issuance will be, duly authorized, validly issued, fully paid and non-assessable. No shares of capital stock of the Company are subject to preemptive rights or any other similar rights of the shareholders of the Company or any liens or encumbrances imposed through the actions or failure to act of the Company. As of the effective date of this Agreement, and except as disclosed in the SEC Documents, (i) there are no outstanding options, warrants, scrip, rights to subscribe for, puts, calls, rights of first refusal, agreements, understandings, claims or other commitments or rights of any character whatsoever relating to, or securities or rights convertible into or exchangeable for any shares of capital stock of the Company or any of its Subsidiaries, or arrangements by which the Company or any of its Subsidiaries is or may become bound to issue additional shares of capital stock of the Company or any of its Subsidiaries, (ii) there are no agreements or arrangements under which the Company or any of its Subsidiaries is obligated to register the sale of any of its or their securities under the 1933 Act and (iii) there are no anti-dilution or price adjustment provisions contained in any security issued by the Company (or in any agreement providing rights to security holders) that will be triggered by the issuance of the Note or the Conversion Shares. At its option, Buyer has had the opportunity to review true and correct copies of the Company’s Certificate of Incorporation as in effect on the date hereof (“Certificate of Incorporation”), the Company’s By-laws, as in effect on the date hereof (the “Bylaws”), and the terms of all securities convertible into or exercisable for Common Stock of the Company and the material rights of the holders thereof in respect thereto.

 

7.          NO CONFLICTS. The execution, delivery and performance of this Agreement by the Company and the consummation by the Company and the Seller of the transactions contemplated hereby (including, without limitation, the sale of the relevant Purchased Debt to Buyer) will not (i) violate or conflict with, or result in a breach of any provision of, or constitute a default (or an event which with notice or lapse of time or both could become a default) under, or give to others any rights of termination, amendment, acceleration or cancellation of, any agreement, note, bond, indenture or other instrument to which Company is a party, or (ii) result in a violation of any law, rule, regulation, order, judgment or decree (including federal and state securities laws and regulations and regulations of any self-regulatory organizations to which the Company is subject) applicable to the Company or by which any property of the Company are bound or affected. Except as specifically contemplated by this Agreement and as required under the 1933 Act and any applicable federal and state securities laws, neither Seller nor the Company is required to obtain any consent, authorization or order of, or make any filing or registration with, any court, governmental agency, regulatory agency, self regulatory organization or stock market or any third party in order for it to execute, deliver or perform any of its obligations under this Agreement in accordance with the terms hereof. Except for filings that may be required under applicable federal and state securities laws in connection with the issuance and sale of the Purchased Debt, all consents, authorizations, orders, filings and registrations which the Company is required to obtain pursuant to the preceding sentence have been obtained or effected on or prior to the date hereof.

 

13
 

 

8.           NO MATERIAL ADVERSE CHANGE: Since the date of the initiation of negotiations regarding this Transaction, there has not been any material adverse change in the business, operations, properties, prospects, assets, or condition of the Company (financial or otherwise), and no event has occurred or circumstance exists that may result in such a material adverse change.

 

9.          DISCLOSURE: No representation or warranty of the Company in this Agreement omits to state a known material fact necessary to make the statements herein or therein, in light of the circumstances in which they were made, not misleading. There is no fact known to Seller that has specific application to either Seller or the Company (other than general economic or industry conditions) and that materially adversely affects the assets, business, prospects, financial condition, or results of operations of the Company that has not been set forth in this Agreement.

 

10.        DEBTS: The Company has no outstanding debts (other than the Debt), judgments, liens, encumbrances, UCC filings, notes, loans, convertible debt instruments, or other financial obligations whatsoever, other than as disclosed in its public filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission and in this Agreement.

 

11.        COMPANY’S REPORTING OBLIGATIONS. The Company will mail to the Buyer hereof at its address as shown on the Register a copy of any annual, quarterly or other report or proxy statement that it gives to its shareholders generally at the time such report or statement is sent to shareholders, unless such report is timely filed with the United States Securities and Exchange Commission.

 

12.       CONDUCT OF BUSINESS: The Company has and shall continue to conduct its business in the normal and ordinary course, consistent with the present conduct of its business and previous practices, shall not make and/or declare any dividend (cash and/or stock), redemption, stock split (reverse or forward), and/or stock and/or cash distributions.

 

13.        NO AMENDMENT OF DEBT OR NOTES WITHOUT CONSENT OF BUYER. Company, hereafter, shall not take any action to amend the Debt instrument or cooperate in the amendment of any of the Notes referenced in the Promissory Note dated July 13, 2013, absent express written consent of Buyer.

 

14
 

 

14.        BUYBACK GUARANTY IN EVENT OF DTC CHILL OR FREEZE. In the event that the DTC issues a chill or freeze of the Company’s common stock after Buyer has converted some or all of its Purchased Debt, and Buyer holds such shares at that time, then Buyer shall have the option to sell, and the Company shall have be required to purchase, for a period of six months, such shares of Common Stock at the Conversion Price at which the stock was issued to Buyer. The purchase price shall be paid in cash concurrently upon Buyer surrendering such shares of Common Stock to the Company. 

 

E. DEFAULTS AND REMEDIES.

 

1.           EVENTS OF DEFAULT. An “Event of Default” occurs if (i) the Company does not make the payment of the principal or interest due under the Purchased Debt when the same becomes due and payable at maturity, upon demand or otherwise, (ii) the Company does not make a payment, other than a payment of principal or interest, for a period of five (5) business days after its due date, (iii) any of the Company’s representations or warranties contained in the Promissory Note dated July 13, 2013 were false when made or the Company fails to comply with any of its other obligations in that agreement, including the delivery of Common Stock upon conversion before the Delivery Date; (iv) a DTC “chill” or “freeze” is placed on the stock of the Company; (v) the Common Stock becomes ineligible for listing or quotation for trading on its current trading market and shall not be eligible to resume listing or quotation on its current trading market within ten trading days; (vi) the Company pursuant to or within the meaning of any Bankruptcy Law (as hereinafter defined): (1) commences a voluntary petition under Bankruptcy Law; (2) consents to the entry of an order for relief against it in an involuntary bankruptcy petition; (3) consents to the appointment of a Custodian (as hereinafter defined) of it or for all or substantially all of its property or (4) makes a general assignment for the benefit of its creditors or (5) a court of competent jurisdiction enters an order or decree under any Bankruptcy Law that: (A) is for relief against the Company in an involuntary bankruptcy petition; (B) appoints a Custodian of the Company or for all or substantially all of its property or (C) orders the liquidation of the Company, and the order or decree remains unstayed and in effect for 60 days, or (vi) the Company is in default of any debt, note or Agreement with an outstanding balance equal to or exceeding $25,000 individually or $50,000 in the aggregate, or (vii) the Company is in default of any provisions of this Agreement; or (viii) the Company’s representations and warranties contained in this Agreement were not true on the date that this Agreement is signed. As used in this Section 1, the term “Bankruptcy Law” means Title 11 of the United States Code or any similar federal or state law for the relief of debtors. The term “Custodian” means any receiver, trustee, assignee, liquidator or similar official under any Bankruptcy Law.

2.           REMEDIES UPON DEFAULT. If any Event of Default occurs, the outstanding principal amount of the Purchased Debt, plus liquidated damages and other amounts owing in respect thereof through the date of acceleration, shall become, at the Buyer’s election, immediately due and payable in cash. Commencing 5 days after the occurrence of any Event of Default that results in the eventual acceleration of the Purchased Debt, the interest rate on the Purchased Debt shall accrue at an interest rate equal to the lesser of 18% per annum or the maximum rate permitted under applicable law. Upon the payment in full, the Buyer shall promptly surrender the Note to or as directed by the Company. In connection with such acceleration described herein, the Buyer need not provide, and the Company hereby waives, any presentment, demand, protest or other notice of any kind, and the Buyer may immediately and without expiration of any grace period enforce any and all of its rights and remedies hereunder and all other remedies available to it under applicable law. Such acceleration may be rescinded and annulled by Buyer at any time prior to payment hereunder and the Buyer shall have all rights as a Buyer of the Agreement until such time, if any, as the Buyer receives full payment pursuant to this Section 2. No such rescission or annulment shall affect any subsequent Event of Default or impair any right consequent thereon.

 

F.DILUTION. The number of shares of Common Stock issuable upon conversion of the Purchased Debt may increase substantially in certain circumstances. The Company’s executive officers and directors have studied and fully understand the nature of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement and recognize that they have a potential dilutive effect. The board of directors of the Company has concluded, in its good faith business judgment, that such issuance is in the best interests of the Company. The Company specifically acknowledges that its obligation to issue additional shares of Common Stock is binding upon the Company and enforceable regardless of the dilution such issuance may have on the ownership interests of other shareholders of the Company.

 

G.TIME IS OF THE ESSENCE. Where this Agreement or the Promissory Note dated July 13, 2013 authorizes or requires the payment of money or the performance of a condition or obligation on a Saturday or Sunday or a public holiday, or authorizes or requires the payment of money or the performance of a condition or obligation within, before or after a period of time computed from a certain date, and such period of time ends on a Saturday or a Sunday or a public holiday, such payment may be made or condition or obligation performed on the next succeeding business day, and if the period ends at a specified hour, such payment may be made or condition performed, at or before the same hour of such next succeeding business day, with the same force and effect as if made or performed in accordance with the terms of this Agreement. A “business day” shall mean a day on which the banks in New York are not required or allowed to be closed. Time is of the essence in the performance of all obligations under this Agreement and under the Promissory Note dated July 13, 2013.

 

H.WAIVERS. Any waiver by the Company or the Buyer of a breach of any provision of this Agreement shall not operate as or be construed to be a waiver of any other breach of such provision or of any breach of any other provision of this Agreement. The failure of the Company or the Buyer to insist upon strict adherence to any term of this Agreement on one or more occasions shall not be considered a waiver or deprive that party of the right thereafter to insist upon strict adherence to that term or any other term of this Agreement on any other occasion. Any waiver by the Company or the Buyer must be in writing.

FOR VALUE RECEIVED, BioNeutral Group, Inc., a Nevada corporation (“the Company”), hereby promises to pay to Darling Capital, LLC or registered assigns (the “Holder”) on February 21, 2015 (the “Maturity Date”), a principal amount of Twelve Thousand Dollars ($12,500) (the “Principal Amount”), and to pay interest on the principal amount hereof, in such amounts, at such times and on such terms and conditions as are specified herein.

 

The principal of this Note is payable in United States dollars, at the address as designated in writing by the Holder. The Company will pay the outstanding principal amount of this Note in cash on the Maturity Date to the registered holder of this Note.

 

This Note is subject to the following additional provisions:

 

1.          Interest. until the outstanding principal and interest amount hereof is paid in full or has been converted, interest on the unpaid principal amount of this Note (the “Note”), shall accrue at the rate of fifteen Percent (15%) per annum, payable in arrears, in cash, All past due principal and interest shall accrue at the rate of 22% (default interest rate).

 

2.          Method of Payment. The Company may draw a check for the payment of interest to the order of the Holder of this Note and mail it to the Holder’s address as designated in writing by the Holder.

3.          Conversion

 

3.1          Conversion Privilege. The Holder shall have the right, at its option, to convert the unpaid principal and interest due on this Note (the “Debt”) or any portion thereof into shares of Common Stock at any time following the date hereof. The number of shares of Common Stock issuable upon the conversion of the Debt is determined pursuant to the provisions below and shall be rounded to the nearest whole share. 

 

3.1.1. Full or Partial Conversion Rights. All or any portion of the principal and interest amount owed by the Company to Holder under this Note reflecting the Debt may be converted into Common Stock. The provisions of this Note that apply to the conversion of all of the Debt shall also apply to the conversion of a portion of it. The Debt may not be converted, whether in whole or in part, except in accordance with this Note.

 

3.1.2. Conversion Procedure. Upon the Company’s receipt of a facsimile or email (or by any other means, including mail, messenger, overnight courier, etc.) of Holder’s duly completed and signed Notice of Conversion (in the form attached hereto at Exhibit 1), the Company shall, or shall instruct its transfer agent to, issue one or more Certificates representing that number of shares of Common Stock into which the Debt is convertible in accordance with the provisions regarding conversion. The Company’s transfer agent or attorney shall act as Registrar and shall maintain an appropriate ledger containing the necessary information with respect to each conversion. For purposes of such Notice, Holder’s delivery shall be deemed delivered if sent to:

 

BY MAIL to: BioNeutral Group, Inc.; Att: Tom Cunningham; 211 Warren Street, Newark NJ, 07103: BY EMAIL: tom.c@bioneutral.com

 

3.2.          Conversion Date. Such conversion shall be effectuated by surrendering to the Company, or its attorney, the Debt to be converted together with a facsimile or email or original of the signed Notice of Conversion. If only a portion of the Debt is to be converted, the Company shall promptly reissue a Promissory Note pursuant to identical terms of the Debt in the amount of the unconverted portion of the principal and interest then owing on the Debt. The date on which the Notice of Conversion is effective (“Conversion Date”) shall be deemed to be the date on which the Holder has delivered to the Company a facsimile or email original of the signed Notice of Conversion. Within eight (8) business days after the Conversion Date or within eight (8) business days after receipt of the Debt to be converted, whichever is later (the “Delivery Date”), the Company shall deliver to the Holder, or per the Holder’s instructions, to any third party, the shares of Common Stock to be issued pursuant to such Notice of Conversion.

3.3.          Common Stock to be Issued. Upon the conversion of Debt or any part thereof and upon receipt by the Company or its attorney of a facsimile, email or other copy or original of Holder’s signed Notice of Conversion, Company shall instruct Company’s transfer agent to issue Stock Certificates in the name of Holder (or its nominee) and in such denominations to be specified at conversion representing the number of shares of Common Stock issuable upon such conversion, as applicable. Company warrants that no instructions, other than these instructions, have been given or will be given to the transfer agent and that the Common Stock shall otherwise be freely transferable on the books and records of Company.

 

3.4.          Conversion Rate. Subject to the time limitations set forth above, Holder is entitled to convert the principal and interest owed on this Note into Common Stock of the Company at a conversion price that is 40% (the multiplier) of the lowest closing bid price as reported by Bloomberg for the Company’s Common Stock for the thirty (30) trading days immediately preceding the Conversion Date of such shares then quoted on any national securities exchange or other quotation service (such as OTC, Pink Sheets, etc.) (the “Conversion Price”); provided that if the Closing Bid Price for the common stock on the Clearing date (defined below) is lower than the Closing Bid Price, then the purchase price shall be adjusted such that the Discount shall be taken from the closing bid price on the Clearing Date, and the company shall issue additional shares to Purchaser to reflect such adjusted Purchase Price. For purposes of this Agreement, the Clearing Date shall be the latest date on which (i) the conversion shares are transferred to and deposited into the Buyer's brokerage account by the Company’s representatives or transfer agent and (ii) Buyer's broker has confirmed with Buyer that the Buyer may execute trades of the conversion shares. If such events occur after 5:30 PM Eastern Standard Time, the events shall be deemed to have occurred on the next trading day. No fractional shares or scrip representing fractions of shares will be issued on conversion, but the number of shares issuable shall be rounded up or down, as the case may be, to the nearest whole share. No fractional shares or scrip representing fractions of shares will be issued on conversion, but the number of shares issuable shall be rounded up or down, as the case may be, to the nearest whole share. The Company shall bear any and all miscellaneous expenses that may arise as a result of conversion and delivery of shares of common stock, including but are not limited to the cost of the issuance of a Rule 144 legal opinion, transfer agent fees, equity issuance and deposit fees, etc. At Purchaser’s option, any accrued costs paid by Purchaser may be subtracted from the dollar amount of any conversion of the Note. 

 

3.5.          Chilled or Frozen Stock. If the Company's common stock becomes chilled or frozen by the Deposit Trust Corporation (DTC) at the time that any portion of the principal and interest of the Note is converted by the Holder, then the Discount shall be adjusted to thirty percent (30%) (the multiplier) for so long as the common stock is chilled or frozen.

 

3.6.          Company’s Responsibility To Issue Stock. It shall be the Company’s responsibility to take all necessary actions and to bear all such costs to issue certificates for the Common Stock as provided herein, including the responsibility and cost for delivery of an opinion letter to the transfer agent, if so required. The person in whose name the certificate of Common Stock is to be registered shall be treated as a shareholder of record on and after the Conversion Date.

In the event the Common Stock is not delivered (with legends if required by applicable law and without legends if not required by applicable law) per the written instructions of the Holder, within eight (8) business days after the Delivery Date, then in such event the Company shall pay to Holder one-half percent (0.5%), in cash, of the dollar value of the Debt being converted per each business day following the Delivery Date, up to and including the eighteenth (18th) business day following the Delivery Date. Delays solely caused by the Buyer’s broker shall not be taken into account in this matter. In the event the Common Stock is not delivered per the written instructions of the Holder, within eighteen (18) business days after the Delivery Date, then, except to the extent the delivery is delayed by operation of law, in such event the Company shall pay to Holder one percent (1%), in cash, of the dollar value of the Debt being converted per each business day following such eighteenth (18th) business day after the Delivery Date. Holder shall then be entitled to send written notice to the Company of the default and the Holder, and at its sole option may demand full repayment of the Debt not yet converted, including accrued interest and liquidated damages through the date that written notice is given to the Company (the “Acceleration Amount”). If the Company does not wire the Acceleration Amount to the Holder within five (5) business days of the delivery by Holder by fax or email of the default notice, the Acceleration Amount shall accrue interest at sixteen percent (16%) per annum. Such notice shall not affect the Holder’s rights to the Common Stock due under the Notice of Conversion and all rights and remedies related to such conversion set forth herein, and shall be in addition to such rights and remedies. The Company acknowledges that the failure to honor a Notice of Conversion shall cause definable financial hardship to the Holder as well as substantial monetary damages, which cannot be determined at this time, and that this damages provision represents the parties’ reasonable estimate of liquidated damages.

 

3.7.          Liquidated Damages. If, by the eighth (8th) business day after the Delivery Date, due to the Company’s direct or indirect actions or its failure to act, the transfer agent fails for any reason to deliver the Common Stock (with legends if required by applicable law and without legends if not required by applicable law) upon conversion by the Holder and after such Delivery Date, the Holder purchases, in an open market transaction or otherwise, shares of Common Stock (the "Covering Shares") solely in order to make delivery in satisfaction of a sale of Common Stock by the Holder (the "Sold Shares"), which delivery such Holder anticipated to make using the Common Stock issuable upon conversion (a "Buy-In"), the Company shall pay to the Holder, in addition to any other amounts due to Holder pursuant to the Debt, and not in lieu thereof, the Buy-In Adjustment Amount (as defined below). The "Buy In Adjustment Amount" is the amount equal to the excess, if any, of (x) the Holder's total purchase price (including brokerage commissions, if any) for the Covering Shares over (y) the net proceeds (after brokerage commissions, if any) received by the Holder from the sale of the Sold Shares. The Company shall pay the Buy-In Adjustment Amount to the Holder in immediately available funds within five (5) business days of written demand by the Holder.

 

4
 

 

The Company acknowledges that its failure to deliver the Common Stock within eight (8) business days after the Delivery Date will cause the Holder to suffer damages in an amount that will be difficult to ascertain. Accordingly, the parties agree that it is appropriate to include in this Note a provision for liquidated damages. The parties acknowledge and agree that the liquidated damages provision set forth in this section represents the parties’ good faith effort to quantify such damages and, as such, agree that the form and amount of such liquidated damages are reasonable and will not constitute a penalty. The payment of liquidated damages shall not relieve the Company from its obligations to deliver the Common Stock pursuant to the terms of this Note or to repay, with interest, including default interest, as applicable, the unconverted portion of the Debt.

 

3.8.          Liquidated Damages When There Are Not Sufficient Available Shares. To the extent that the failure of the Company to issue the Common Stock due upon conversion is due to the unavailability of authorized but unissued shares of Common Stock, the provisions of this Section shall apply.

 

3.8.1. The Company shall at all times reserve and have available all Common Stock necessary to meet conversion of the Debt by Holder of the entire amount of Debt then outstanding. If, at any time Holder submits a Notice of Conversion and the Company does not have sufficient authorized but unissued shares of Common Stock available to effect, in full, a conversion of the Debt (a “Conversion Default”, the date of such default being referred to herein as the “Conversion Default Date”), the Company shall issue to the Holder all of the shares of Common Stock which are available, and the Notice of Conversion as to any Debt requested to be converted but not converted (the “Unconverted Debt”), upon Holder’s sole option, may be deemed null and void. The Company shall provide notice of such Conversion Default (“Notice of Conversion Default”) to Holder of outstanding Debt, by facsimile, within eight (8) business days of such default (with the original delivered by overnight or two day courier), and the Holder shall give notice to the Company by facsimile within five business days of receipt of the original Notice of Conversion Default (with the original delivered by overnight or two day courier) of its election to either nullify or confirm the Notice of Conversion.

 

5
 

 

3.8.2. The Company agrees to pay to Holder of outstanding Debt for a Conversion Default (“Conversion Default Payments”) in the amount of (N/365) x (.24) x the balance of the outstanding and/or tendered but not converted Debt held by each Holder where N = the number of days from the Conversion Default Date to the date (the “Authorization Date”) that the Company authorizes a sufficient number of shares of Common Stock to effect conversion of all remaining Debt. The Company shall send notice (“Authorization Notice”) to Holder of outstanding Debt that additional shares of Common Stock have been authorized, the Authorization Date and the amount of Holder’s accrued Conversion Default Payments. The accrued Conversion Default Payments shall be paid in cash or shall be convertible into Common Stock at the Conversion Rate, at the Holder’s option, payable as follows: (i) in the event Holder elects within ten (10) days of the Authorization Notice in writing to take such payment in cash, cash payments shall be made to such Holder by the fifth day of the following calendar month, or (ii) if the Holder does not so elect to receive such Conversion Default Payment in cash, such payment shall be made in Common Stock at the then current Conversion Price within 30 days following the date of the Authorization Notice. The Company acknowledges that its failure to maintain a sufficient number of authorized but unissued shares of Common Stock to effect in full a conversion of the Debt will cause the Holder to suffer damages in an amount that will be difficult to ascertain. Accordingly, the parties agree that it is appropriate to include in this Note a provision for liquidated damages. The parties acknowledge and agree that the liquidated damages provision set forth in this section represents the parties’ good faith effort to quantify such damages and, as such, agree that the form and amount of such liquidated damages are reasonable and will not constitute a penalty. The payment of liquidated damages shall not relieve the Company from its obligations to deliver the Common Stock pursuant to the terms of this Note.

 

3.9.          Maximum Interest Rate. Nothing contained in this Note shall be deemed to establish or require the payment of interest to the Holder at a rate in excess of the maximum rate permitted by governing law. In the event that the rate of interest required to be paid exceeds the maximum rate permitted by governing law, the rate of interest required to be paid thereunder shall be automatically reduced to the maximum rate permitted under the governing law and such excess shall be returned with reasonable promptness by the Holder to the Company.

 

3.10.        Payment of Taxes. The Company shall pay all documentary stamp taxes, if any, attributable to the initial issuance of the Common Stock; provided, however, that the Company shall not be required to pay any tax or taxes which may be payable, (1) with respect to any secondary transfer of the Debt or the Common Stock issuable upon exercise hereof or (2) as a result of the issuance of the Common Stock to any person other than the Holder, and the Company shall not be required to issue or deliver any certificate for any Common Stock unless and until the person requesting the issuance thereof shall have paid to the Company the amount of such tax or shall have produced evidence that such tax has been paid to the appropriate taxing authority.

 

6
 

 

3.11.        Buyback Guaranty In Event of DTC Chill or Freeze. In the event that the DTC issues a chill or freeze of the Company’s common stock (A “chill” is a limitation of certain services available for a security on deposit at the DTC. A “freeze,” formally referred to as a “global lock,” is a complete restriction on all DTC services for a particular security on deposit at DTC.) after Holder has converted some or all of its Debt, and Holder holds such shares at that time, then Holder shall have the option to sell, and the Company shall be required to purchase, for a period of six months, such shares of Common Stock at the Conversion Price at which the stock was issued to Holder. The purchase price shall be paid in cash concurrently upon Holder surrendering such shares of Common Stock to the Company.

 

4.          Restrictions on Transfers. The Debt has not been registered under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, (the “Act”) and is being issued under Section 4(2) of the Act and Rule 506 of Regulation D promulgated under the Act. The Debt and the Common Stock issuable upon the conversion thereof may only be offered or sold pursuant to registration under or an exemption from the Act.

 

5.          Mergers, Etc. If the Company merges or consolidates with another corporation or sells or transfers all or substantially all of its assets to another person and the Holder is entitled to receive stock, securities or property in respect of or in exchange for Common Stock, then as a condition of such merger, consolidation, sale or transfer, the Company and any such successor, purchaser or transferee shall amend the Debt to provide that it may thereafter be converted on the terms and subject to the conditions set forth above into the kind and amount of stock, securities or property receivable upon such merger, consolidation, sale or transfer by Holder of the number of shares of Common Stock into which the Debt might have been converted immediately before such merger, consolidation, sale or transfer, subject to adjustments which shall be as nearly equivalent as may be practicable to adjustments provided for in this Note.

 

The Company shall not consolidate or merge into, or transfer all or substantially all of its assets to, any person, unless such person assumes in writing the obligations of the Company under the Debt and immediately after such transaction no Event of Default exists. Any reference herein to the Company shall refer to such surviving or transferee corporation and the obligations of the Company shall terminate upon such written assumption.

7.          DEFAULTS AND REMEDIES.

7.2         REMEDIES UPON DEFAULT. If any Event of Default occurs, the outstanding principal amount of the Debt, plus liquidated damages and other amounts owing in respect thereof through the date of acceleration, shall become, at the Holder’s election, immediately due and payable in cash. Commencing 5 days after the occurrence of any Event of Default that results in the eventual acceleration of the Debt, he interest rate on the Debt shall accrue at an interest rate equal to the lesser of sixteen percent (16%) per annum or the maximum rate permitted under applicable law. Upon the payment in full, the Holder shall promptly surrender this Note to or as directed by the Company. In connection with such acceleration described herein, the Holder need not provide, and the Company hereby waives, any presentment, demand, protest or other notice of any kind, and the Holder may immediately and without expiration of any grace period enforce any and all of its rights and remedies hereunder and all other remedies available to it under applicable law. Such acceleration may be rescinded and annulled by Holder at any time prior to payment hereunder and the Holder shall have all rights as a Holder of the Note until such time, if any, as the Holder receives full payment pursuant to this Section. No such rescission or annulment shall affect any subsequent Event of Default or impair any right consequent thereon.

 

8.          DILUTION. The number of shares of Common Stock issuable upon conversion of the Debt may increase substantially in certain circumstances. The Company’s executive officers and directors have studied and fully understand the nature of the transactions contemplated by this Note and recognize that they have a potential dilutive effect. The Board of Directors of the Company has concluded, in its good faith business judgment, that such issuance is in the best interests of the Company. The Company specifically acknowledges that its obligation to issue additional shares of Common Stock is binding upon the Company and enforceable regardless of the dilution such issuance may have on the ownership interests of other shareholders of the Company.

 

9.          TIME IS OF THE ESSENCE. Where this Note authorizes or requires the payment of money or the performance of a condition or obligation on a Saturday or Sunday or a public holiday, or authorizes or requires the payment of money or the performance of a condition or obligation within, before or after a period of time computed from a certain date, and such period of time ends on a Saturday or a Sunday or a public holiday, such payment may be made or condition or obligation performed on the next succeeding business day, and if the period ends at a specified hour, such payment may be made or condition performed, at or before the same hour of such next succeeding business day, with the same force and effect as if made or performed in accordance with the terms of this Note. A “business day” shall mean a day on which the banks in New York are not required or allowed to be closed. Time is of the essence in the performance of all obligations under this Note.

 

10.        WAIVERS. Any waiver by the Company or the Holder of a breach of any provision of this Note shall not operate as or be construed to be a waiver of any other breach of such provision or of any breach of any other provision of this Note. The failure of the Company or the Holder to insist upon strict adherence to any term of this Note on one or more occasions shall not be considered a waiver or deprive that party of the right thereafter to insist upon strict adherence to that term or any other term of this Note on any other occasion. Any waiver by the Company or the Holder must be in writing.

 

11

12.         ABSOLUTE OBLIGATION. Except as expressly provided herein, 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 liquidated damages, as applicable on this Note at the time, place, and rate, and in the coin or currency, herein prescribed.

NEITHER THE ISSUANCE AND SALE OF THE SECURITIES REPRESENTED BY THIS NOTE NOR THE SECURITIES INTO WHICH THESE SECURITIES ARE CONVERTIBLE 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.

Principal Amount: $51,500.00

Date: July 18, 2014 (Tacking Back to January 15, 2014)

 

CONVERTIBLE PROMISSORY NOTE

 

BioNeutral Group, Inc., (hereinafter called the “Borrower” or “BONU”), hereby promises to pay to the order of WHC Capital, LLC, a Delaware Limited Liability Company, or its registered assigns (the “Holder”) the sum of $51,500, together with any interest as set forth herein, on July 18, 2015 (the “Maturity Date”), and to pay interest on the unpaid principal balance hereof at the rate of eighteen percent (18%) (the “Interest Rate”) per annum from the date hereof (the “Issue Date”) until the same becomes due and payable, whether at maturity or upon acceleration or by prepayment or otherwise. This Note shall serve in lieu of (and tack back to) $51,500 of principal convertible securities owing to Ray Dunning, pursuant to that certain $51,500 Convertible Promissory Note dated January 15, 2014 (attached hereto), and incorporate all interests and charges contemplated therein.

 

This Note may not be prepaid in whole or in part except as otherwise explicitly set forth herein. Any amount of principal or interest on this Note which is not paid when due shall bear interest at the rate of twenty two percent (22%) per annum from the due date thereof until the same is paid (“Default Interest”). Interest shall commence accruing on the date that the Note is fully paid and shall be computed on the basis of a 365-day year and the actual number of days elapsed. All payments due hereunder (to the extent not converted into common stock) shall be made in lawful money of the United States of America.

 

All payments shall be made at such address as the Holder shall hereafter give to the Borrower by written notice made in accordance with the provisions of this Note. Whenever any amount expressed to be due by the terms of this Note is due on any day which is not a business day, the same shall instead be due on the next succeeding day which is a business day and, in the case of any interest payment date which is not the date on which this Note is paid in full, the extension of the due date thereof shall not be taken into account for purposes of determining the amount of interest due on such date. As used in this Note, the term “business day” shall mean any day other than a Saturday, Sunday or a day on which commercial banks in the city of New York, New York are authorized or required by law or executive order to remain closed.  Each capitalized term used herein, and not otherwise defined, shall have the meaning ascribed thereto in the supporting documents of same date (attached hereto).

 

 

 

This Note is free from all taxes, liens, claims and encumbrances with respect to the issue thereof and shall not be subject to preemptive rights or other similar rights of shareholders of the Borrower and will not impose personal liability upon the holder thereof.

 

The following terms shall apply to this Note:

 

ARTICLE I. CONVERSION RIGHTS

 

1.1         Conversion Right. The Holder shall have the right and at any time during the period beginning on the date of this Note to convert all or any part of the outstanding and unpaid principal amount of this Note into fully paid and non- assessable shares of Common Stock, as such Common Stock exists on the Issue Date, or any shares of capital stock or other securities of the Borrower into which such Common Stock shall hereafter be changed or reclassified at the conversion price (the “Conversion Price”) determined as provided herein (a “Conversion”); 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 4.99% 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, provided, further, however, that the limitations on conversion may be waived by the Holder upon, at the election of the Holder, not less than 61 days’ prior notice to the Borrower, and the provisions of the conversion limitation shall continue to apply until such 61st day (or such later date, as determined by the Holder, as may be specified in such notice of waiver). The number of shares of Common Stock to be issued upon each conversion of this Note shall be determined by dividing the Conversion Amount (as defined below) by the applicable Conversion Price then in effect on the date specified in the notice of conversion, (the “Notice of Conversion”), delivered to the Borrower by the Holder in accordance with the Sections below; provided that the Notice of Conversion is submitted by facsimile or e-mail (or by other means resulting in, or reasonably expected to result in, notice) to the Borrower before 6:00 p.m., New York, New York time on such conversion date (the “Conversion Date”).

 

The term “Conversion Amount” means, with respect to any conversion of this Note, the sum of (1) the principal amount of this Note to be converted in such conversion plus (2) at the Borrower’s option, accrued and unpaid interest, if any, on such principal amount at the interest rates provided in this Note to the Conversion Date, plus (3) at the Borrower’s option, Default Interest, if any, on the amounts referred to in the immediately preceding clauses (1) and/or (2) plus (4) at the Holder’s option, any amounts owed to the Holder.

 

2
 

 

1.2         Conversion Price.

 

(a)           Calculation of Conversion Price. Holder, at its discretion, shall have the right to convert this Note in its entirety or in part(s) into common stock of the Company valued at a Fifty Percent (50%) discount off the lowest intra-day trading price for the Company’s common stock during the Ten (10) trading days immediately preceding a conversion date, as reported by Quotestream.

 

(b)           Conversion Price During Major Announcements. Notwithstanding anything contained in the preceding section to the contrary, in the event the Borrower (i) makes a public announcement that it intends to consolidate or merge with any other corporation (other than a merger in which the Borrower is the surviving or continuing corporation and its capital stock is unchanged) or sell or transfer all or substantially all of the assets of the Borrower or (ii) any person, group or entity (including the Borrower) publicly announces a tender offer to purchase 50% or more of the Borrower’s Common Stock (or any other takeover scheme) (the date of the announcement referred to in clause (i) or (ii) is hereinafter referred to as the “Announcement Date”), then the Conversion Price shall, effective upon the Announcement Date and continuing through the Adjusted Conversion Price Termination Date (as defined below), be equal to the lower of (x) the Conversion Price which would have been applicable for a Conversion occurring on the Announcement Date and (y) the Conversion Price that would otherwise be in effect. From and after the Adjusted Conversion Price Termination Date, the Conversion Price shall be determined as set forth in this Section. For purposes hereof, “Adjusted Conversion Price Termination Date” shall mean, with respect to any proposed transaction or tender offer (or takeover scheme) for which a public announcement as contemplated by this Section has been made, the date upon which the Borrower (in the case of clause (i) above) or the person, group or entity (in the case of clause (ii) above) consummates or publicly announces the termination or abandonment of the proposed transaction or tender offer (or takeover scheme) which caused this Section 1.2(b) to become operative.

 

1.3         Authorized Shares. The Borrower covenants that during the period the conversion right exists, the Borrower will reserve from its authorized and unissued Common Stock a sufficient number of shares, free from preemptive rights, to provide for the issuance of Common Stock upon the full conversion of this Note. The Borrower is required at all times to have authorized and reserved five times the number of shares that is actually issuable upon full conversion of the Note (based on the Conversion Price of the Notes in effect from time to time)(the “Reserved Amount”). The Reserved Amount shall be increased from time to time in accordance with the Borrower’s obligations.

 

The Borrower represents that upon issuance, such shares will be duly and validly issued, fully paid and non-assessable. In addition, if the Borrower shall issue any securities or make any change to its capital structure which would change the number of shares of Common Stock into which the Notes shall be convertible at the then current Conversion Price, the Borrower shall at the same time make proper provision so that thereafter there shall be a sufficient number of shares of Common Stock authorized and reserved, free from preemptive rights, for conversion of the outstanding Notes.

 

The Borrower (i) acknowledges that it has irrevocably instructed its transfer agent to issue certificates for the Common Stock issuable upon conversion of this Note, and (ii) agrees that its issuance of this Note shall constitute full authority to its officers and agents who are charged with the duty of executing stock certificates to execute and issue the necessary certificates for shares of Common Stock in accordance with the terms and conditions of this Note. 

 

3
 

 

If, at any time the Borrower does not maintain the Reserved Amount it will be considered an Event of Default as defined in this Note.

 

1.4           Method of Conversion.

 

(a)         Mechanics of Conversion. This Note may be converted by the Holder in whole or in part at any time from time to time after the Issue Date, by (A) submitting to the Borrower a Notice of Conversion (by facsimile, e-mail or other reasonable means of communication dispatched on the Conversion Date prior to 6:00 p.m., New York, New York time).

 

(b)         Surrender of Note Upon Conversion. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary set forth herein, upon conversion of this Note in accordance with the terms hereof, the Holder shall not be required to physically surrender this Note to the Borrower unless the entire unpaid principal amount of this Note is so converted. The Holder and the Borrower shall maintain records showing the principal amount so converted and the dates of such conversions or shall use such other method, reasonably satisfactory to the Holder and the Borrower, so as not to require physical surrender of this Note upon each such conversion. In the event of any dispute or discrepancy, such records of the Borrower shall, prima facie, be controlling and determinative in the absence of manifest error. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if any portion of this Note is converted as aforesaid, the Holder may not transfer this Note unless the Holder first physically surrenders this Note to the Borrower, whereupon the Borrower will forthwith issue and deliver upon the order of the Holder a new Note of like tenor, registered as the Holder (upon payment by the Holder of any applicable transfer taxes) may request, representing in the aggregate the remaining unpaid principal amount of this Note. The Holder and any assignee, by acceptance of this Note, acknowledge and agree that, by reason of the provisions of this paragraph, following conversion of a portion of this Note, the unpaid and unconverted principal amount of this Note represented by this Note may be less than the amount stated on the face hereof.

 

(c)         Payment of Taxes. The Borrower shall not be required to pay any tax which may be payable in respect of any transfer involved in the issue and delivery of shares of Common Stock or other securities or property on conversion of this Note in a name other than that of the Holder (or in street name), and the Borrower shall not be required to issue or deliver any such shares or other securities or property unless and until the person or persons (other than the Holder or the custodian in whose street name such shares are to be held for the Holder’s account) requesting the issuance thereof shall have paid to the Borrower the amount of any such tax or shall have established to the satisfaction of the Borrower that such tax has been paid.

 

(d)         Delivery of Common Stock Upon Conversion. Upon receipt by the Borrower from the Holder of a facsimile transmission or e-mail (or other reasonable means of communication) of a Notice of Conversion meeting the requirements for conversion as provided in this Section, the Borrower shall issue and deliver or cause to be issued and delivered to or upon the order of the Holder certificates for the Common Stock issuable upon such conversion within three (3) business days after such receipt (the “Deadline”) (and, solely in the case of conversion of the entire unpaid principal amount hereof, surrender of this Note) in accordance with the terms hereof and the Purchase Agreement.

 

4
 

 

(e)         Obligation of Borrower to Deliver Common Stock. Upon receipt by the Borrower of a Notice of Conversion, the Holder shall be deemed to be the holder of record of the Common Stock issuable upon such conversion, the outstanding principal amount and the amount of accrued and unpaid interest on this Note shall be reduced to reflect such conversion, and, unless the Borrower defaults on its obligations under this Article I, all rights with respect to the portion of this Note being so converted shall forthwith terminate except the right to receive the Common Stock or other securities, cash or other assets, as herein provided, on such conversion. If the Holder shall have given a Notice of Conversion as provided herein, the Borrower’s obligation to issue and deliver the certificates for Common Stock shall be absolute and unconditional, irrespective of the absence of any action by the Holder to enforce the same, any waiver or consent with respect to any provision thereof, the recovery of any judgment against any person or any action to enforce the same, any failure or delay in the enforcement of any other obligation of the Borrower to the holder of record, or any setoff, counterclaim, recoupment, limitation or termination, or any breach or alleged breach by the Holder of any obligation to the Borrower, and irrespective of any other circumstance which might otherwise limit such obligation of the Borrower to the Holder in connection with such conversion. The Conversion Date specified in the Notice of Conversion shall be the Conversion Date so long as the Notice of Conversion is received by the Borrower before 6:00 p.m., New York, New York time, on such date.

 

(f)         Delivery of Common Stock by Electronic Transfer. In lieu of delivering physical certificates representing the Common Stock issuable upon conversion, provided the Borrower is participating in the Depository Trust Company (“DTC”) Fast Automated Securities Transfer (“FAST”) program, upon request of the Holder and its compliance with the provisions contained in Section 1.1 and in this Section 1.4, the Borrower shall use its best efforts to cause its transfer agent to electronically transmit the Common Stock issuable upon conversion to the Holder by crediting the account of Holder’s Broker with DTC through its Deposit Withdrawal Agent Commission (“DWAC”) system.

 

(g)         Failure to Deliver Common Stock Prior to Deadline. Without in any way limiting the Holder’s right to pursue other remedies, including actual damages and/or equitable relief, the parties agree that if delivery of the Common Stock issuable upon conversion of this Note is not delivered by the Deadline (other than a failure due to the circumstances described in Section 1.3 above, which failure shall be governed by such Section) the Borrower shall pay to the Holder $2,000 per day in cash, for each day beyond the Deadline that the Borrower fails to deliver such Common Stock. Such cash amount shall be paid to Holder by the fifth day of the month following the month in which it has accrued or, at the option of the Holder (by written notice to the Borrower by the first day of the month following the month in which it has accrued), shall be added to the principal amount of this Note, in which event interest shall accrue thereon in accordance with the terms of this Note and such additional principal amount shall be convertible into Common Stock in accordance with the terms of this Note. The Borrower agrees that the right to convert is a valuable right to the Holder. The damages resulting from a failure, attempt to frustrate, interference with such conversion right are difficult if not impossible to qualify. Accordingly the parties acknowledge that the liquidated damages provision contained in this Section are justified. Any delay or failure of performance by the Borrower hereunder shall be excused if and to the extent caused by Force Majeure. For purposes of this agreement, Force Majeure shall mean a cause or event that is not reasonably foreseeable and/or caused by the Borrower, including acts of God, fires, floods, explosions, riots wars, hurricanes, etc.

1.5         Concerning the Shares. The shares of Common Stock issuable upon conversion of this Note may not be sold or transferred unless (i) such shares are sold pursuant to an effective registration statement under the Act or (ii) the Borrower or its transfer agent shall have been furnished with an opinion of counsel (which opinion shall be in form, substance and scope customary for opinions of counsel in comparable transactions) to the effect that the shares to be sold or transferred may be sold or transferred pursuant to an exemption from such registration or (iii) such shares are sold or transferred pursuant to Rule 144 under the Act (or a successor rule) (“Rule 144”) or (iv) such shares are transferred to an “affiliate” (as defined in Rule 144) of the Borrower who agrees to sell or otherwise transfer the shares only in accordance with this Section 1.5 and who is an Accredited Investor. Except as otherwise provided herein (and subject to the removal provisions set forth below), until such time as the shares of Common Stock issuable upon conversion of this Note have been registered under the Act or otherwise may be sold pursuant to Rule 144 without any restriction as to the number of securities as of a particular date that can then be immediately sold, each certificate for shares of Common Stock issuable upon conversion of this Note that has not been so included in an effective registration statement or that has not been sold pursuant to an effective registration statement or an exemption that permits removal of the legend, shall bear a legend substantially in the following form, as appropriate:

 

“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 Borrower shall issue to the Holder a new certificate therefore free of any transfer legend if (i) the Borrower or its transfer agent shall have received 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 Common Stock may be made without registration under the Act, which opinion shall be accepted by the Company so that the sale or transfer is effected or (ii) in the case of the Common Stock issuable upon conversion of this Note, such security is registered for sale by the Holder under an effective registration statement filed under the Act or otherwise may be sold pursuant to Rule 144 without any restriction as to the number of securities as of a particular date that can then be immediately sold. 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, at the Deadline, it will be considered an Event of Default pursuant to this note.

 

6
 

 

1.6           Effect of Certain Events.

 

(a)         Effect of Merger, Consolidation, Etc. At the option of the Holder, the sale, conveyance or disposition of all or substantially all of the assets of the Borrower, the effectuation by the Borrower of a transaction or series of related transactions in which more than 50% of the voting power of the Borrower is disposed of, or the consolidation, merger or other business combination of the Borrower with or into any other Person (as defined below) or Persons when the Borrower is not the survivor shall either: (i) be deemed to be an Event of Default (as defined in Article III) pursuant to which the Borrower shall be required to pay to the Holder upon the consummation of and as a condition to such transaction an amount equal to the Default Amount (as defined in Article III) or (ii) be treated pursuant to Section 1.6(b) hereof. “Person” shall mean any individual, corporation, limited liability company, partnership, association, trust or other entity or organization.

 

(b)         Adjustment Due to Merger, Consolidation, Etc. If, at any time when this Note is issued and outstanding and prior to conversion of all of the Notes, there shall be any merger, consolidation, exchange of shares, recapitalization, reorganization, or other similar event, as a result of which shares of Common Stock of the Borrower shall be changed into the same or a different number of shares of another class or classes of stock or securities of the Borrower or another entity, or in case of any sale or conveyance of all or substantially all of the assets of the Borrower other than in connection with a plan of complete liquidation of the Borrower, then the Holder of this Note shall thereafter have the right to receive upon conversion of this Note, upon the basis and upon the terms and conditions specified herein and in lieu of the shares of Common Stock immediately theretofore issuable upon conversion, such stock, securities or assets which the Holder would have been entitled to receive in such transaction had this Note been converted in full immediately prior to such transaction (without regard to any limitations on conversion set forth herein), and in any such case appropriate provisions shall be made with respect to the rights and interests of the Holder of this Note to the end that the provisions hereof (including, without limitation, provisions for adjustment of the Conversion Price and of the number of shares issuable upon conversion of the Note) shall thereafter be applicable, as nearly as may be practicable in relation to any securities or assets thereafter deliverable upon the conversion hereof. The Borrower shall not affect any transaction described in this Section 1.6(b) unless (a) it first gives, to the extent practicable, thirty (30) days prior written notice (but in any event at least fifteen (15) days prior written notice) of the record date of the special meeting of shareholders to approve, or if there is no such record date, the consummation of, such merger, consolidation, exchange of shares, recapitalization, reorganization or other similar event or sale of assets (during which time the Holder shall be entitled to convert this Note) and (b) the resulting successor or acquiring entity (if not the Borrower) assumes by written instrument the obligations of this Section 1.6(b). The above provisions shall similarly apply to successive consolidations, mergers, sales, transfers or share exchanges.

 

(c)         Adjustment Due to Distribution. If the Borrower shall declare or make any distribution of its assets (or rights to acquire its assets) to holders of Common Stock as a dividend, stock repurchase, by way of return of capital or otherwise (including any dividend or distribution to the Borrower’s shareholders in cash or shares (or rights to acquire shares) of capital stock of a subsidiary (i.e., a spin-off)) (a “Distribution”), then the Holder of this Note shall be entitled, upon any conversion of this Note after the date of record for determining shareholders entitled to such Distribution, to receive the amount of such assets which would have been payable to the Holder with respect to the shares of Common Stock issuable upon such conversion had such Holder been the holder of such shares of Common Stock on the record date for the determination of shareholders entitled to such Distribution.

(d)         Adjustment Due to Dilutive Issuance. If, at any time when any Notes are issued and outstanding, the Borrower issues or sells, or in accordance with this Section hereof is deemed to have issued or sold, any shares of Common Stock for no consideration or for a consideration per share (before deduction of reasonable expenses or commissions or underwriting discounts or allowances in connection therewith) less than the Conversion Price in effect on the date of such issuance (or deemed issuance) of such shares of Common Stock (a “Dilutive Issuance”), then immediately upon the Dilutive Issuance, the Conversion Price will be reduced to the amount of the consideration per share received by the Borrower in such Dilutive Issuance.

 

The Borrower shall be deemed to have issued or sold shares of Common Stock if the Borrower in any manner issues or grants any warrants, rights or options (not including employee stock option plans), whether or not immediately exercisable, to subscribe for or to purchase Common Stock or other securities convertible into or exchangeable for Common Stock (“Convertible Securities”) (such warrants, rights and options to purchase Common Stock or Convertible Securities are hereinafter referred to as “Options”) and the price per share for which Common Stock is issuable upon the exercise of such Options is less than the Conversion Price then in effect, then the Conversion Price shall be equal to such price per share. For purposes of the preceding sentence, the “price per share for which Common Stock is issuable upon the exercise of such Options” is determined by dividing (i) the total amount, if any, received or receivable by the Borrower as consideration for the issuance or granting of all such Options, plus the minimum aggregate amount of additional consideration, if any, payable to the Borrower upon the exercise of all such Options, plus, in the case of Convertible Securities issuable upon the exercise of such Options, the minimum aggregate amount of additional consideration payable upon the conversion or exchange thereof at the time such Convertible Securities first become convertible or exchangeable, by (ii) the maximum total number of shares of Common Stock issuable upon the exercise of all such Options (assuming full conversion of Convertible Securities, if applicable). No further adjustment to the Conversion Price will be made upon the actual issuance of such Common Stock upon the exercise of such Options or upon the conversion or exchange of Convertible Securities issuable upon exercise of such Options.

 

Additionally, the Borrower shall be deemed to have issued or sold shares of Common Stock if the Borrower in any manner issues or sells any Convertible Securities, whether or not immediately convertible (other than where the same are issuable upon the exercise of Options), and the price per share for which Common Stock is issuable upon such conversion or exchange is less than the Conversion Price then in effect, then the Conversion Price shall be equal to such price per share. For the purposes of the preceding sentence, the “price per share for which Common Stock is issuable upon such conversion or exchange” is determined by dividing (i) the total amount, if any, received or receivable by the Borrower as consideration for the issuance or sale of all such Convertible Securities, plus the minimum aggregate amount of additional consideration, if any, payable to the Borrower upon the conversion or exchange thereof at the time such Convertible Securities first become convertible or exchangeable, by (ii) the maximum total number of shares of Common Stock issuable upon the conversion or exchange of all such Convertible Securities. No further adjustment to the Conversion Price will be made upon the actual issuance of such Common Stock upon conversion or exchange of such Convertible Securities.

 

(e)         Purchase Rights. If, at any time when any Notes are issued and outstanding, the Borrower issues any convertible securities or rights to purchase stock, warrants, securities or other property (the “Purchase Rights”) pro rata to the record holders of any class of Common Stock, then the Holder of this Note will be entitled to acquire, upon the terms applicable to such Purchase Rights, the aggregate Purchase Rights which such Holder could have acquired if such Holder had held the number of shares of Common Stock acquirable upon complete conversion of this Note (without regard to any limitations on conversion contained herein) immediately before the date on which a record is taken for the grant, issuance or sale of such Purchase Rights or, if no such record is taken, the date as of which the record holders of Common Stock are to be determined for the grant, issue or sale of such Purchase Rights.

(f)         Notice of Adjustments. Upon the occurrence of each adjustment or readjustment of the Conversion Price as a result of the events described in this Section 1.6, the Borrower, at its expense, shall promptly compute such adjustment or readjustment and prepare and furnish to the Holder of a certificate setting forth such adjustment or readjustment and showing in detail the facts upon which such adjustment or readjustment is based. The Borrower shall, upon the written request at any time of the Holder, furnish to such Holder a like certificate setting forth (i) such adjustment or readjustment, (ii) the Conversion Price at the time in effect and (iii) the number of shares of Common Stock and the amount, if any, of other securities or property which at the time would be received upon conversion of the Note.

 

1.7           Trading Market Limitations. Unless permitted by the applicable rules and regulations of the principal securities market on which the Common Stock is then listed or traded, in no event shall the Borrower issue upon conversion of or otherwise pursuant to this Note and the other Notes issued pursuant to the Purchase Agreement more than the maximum number of shares of Common Stock that the Borrower can issue pursuant to any rule of the principal United States securities market on which the Common Stock is then traded (the “Maximum Share Amount”), which shall be 4.99% of the total shares outstanding on the Closing Date (as defined in the Purchase Agreement), subject to equitable adjustment from time to time for stock splits, stock dividends, combinations, capital reorganizations and similar events relating to the Common Stock occurring after the date hereof. Once the Maximum Share Amount has been issued, if the Borrower fails to eliminate any prohibitions under applicable law or the rules or regulations of any stock exchange, interdealer quotation system or other self-regulatory organization with jurisdiction over the Borrower or any of its securities on the Borrower’s ability to issue shares of Common Stock in excess of the Maximum Share Amount, in lieu of any further right to convert this Note, this will be considered an Event of Default under Section 3.3 of the Note.

 

1.8           Status as Shareholder. Upon submission of a Notice of Conversion by a Holder, (i) the shares covered thereby (other than the shares, if any, which cannot be issued because their issuance would exceed such Holder’s allocated portion of the Reserved Amount or Maximum Share Amount) shall be deemed converted into shares of Common Stock and (ii) the Holder’s rights as a Holder of such converted portion of this Note shall cease and terminate, excepting only the right to receive certificates for such shares of Common Stock and to any remedies provided herein or otherwise available at law or in equity to such Holder because of a failure by the Borrower to comply with the terms of this Note. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if a Holder has not received certificates for all shares of Common Stock prior to the tenth (10th) business day after the expiration of the Deadline with respect to a conversion of any portion of this Note for any reason, then (unless the Holder otherwise elects to retain its status as a holder of Common Stock by so notifying the Borrower) the Holder shall regain the rights of a Holder of this Note with respect to such unconverted portions of this Note and the Borrower shall, as soon as practicable, return such unconverted Note to the Holder or, if the Note has not been surrendered, adjust its records to reflect that such portion of this Note has not been converted. In all cases, the Holder shall retain all of its rights and remedies (including, without limitation, (i) the right to receive Conversion Default Payments pursuant to Section 1.3 to the extent required thereby for such Conversion Default and any subsequent Conversion Default and (ii) the right to have the Conversion Price with respect to subsequent conversions determined in accordance with Section 1.3) for the Borrower’s failure to convert this Note.

So long as the Borrower shall have any obligation under this Note, the Borrower shall not, without the Holder’s written consent, sell, lease or otherwise dispose of any significant portion of its assets outside the ordinary course of business.

It is an obligation of the Borrower to remain current in its obligations to its transfer agent. It shall be an event of default of this Note, if a conversion of this Note is delayed, hindered or frustrated due to a balance owed by the Borrower to its transfer agent. If at the option of the Holder, the Holder advances any funds to the Borrower’s transfer agent in order to process a conversion, such advanced funds shall be paid by the Borrower to the Holder within forty eight (48) hours of a demand from the Holder.

The restatement of any financial statements filed by the Borrower with the SEC for any date or period from two years prior to the Issue Date of this Note and until this Note is no longer outstanding, if the result of such restatement would, by comparison to the original financial statement, have constituted a material adverse effect on the rights of the Holder with respect to this Note or supporting documents.

3.15       Replacement of Transfer Agent.

Upon the occurrence and during the continuation of any Event of Default specified in Section 3.1 (solely with respect to failure to pay the principal hereof or interest thereon when due at the Maturity Date), the Note shall become immediately due and payable and the Borrower shall pay to the Holder, in full satisfaction of its obligations hereunder, an amount equal to the Default Sum (as defined herein). UPON THE OCCURRENCE AND DURING THE CONTINUATION OF ANY EVENT OF DEFAULT SPECIFIED IN SECTION 3.2, THE NOTE SHALL BECOME IMMEDIATELY DUE AND PAYABLE AND THE BORROWER SHALL PAY TO THE HOLDER, IN FULL SATISFACTION OF ITS OBLIGATIONS HEREUNDER, AN AMOUNT EQUAL TO: (Y) THE DEFAULT SUM (AS DEFINED HEREIN); MULTIPLIED BY (Z) TWO (2). Upon the occurrence and during the continuation of any Event of Default specified in Sections 3.1 (solely with respect to failure to pay the principal hereof or interest thereon when due on this Note upon a Trading Market Prepayment Event pursuant to Section 1.7 or upon acceleration), 3.3, 3.4, 3.6, 3.8, 3.9, 3.11, 3.12, 3.13, 3.14, and/or 3.15 exercisable through the delivery of written notice to the Borrower by such Holders (the “Default Notice”), and upon the occurrence of an Event of Default specified the remaining sections of Articles III (other than failure to pay the principal hereof or interest thereon at the Maturity Date specified in Section 3,1 hereof), the Note shall become immediately due and payable and the Borrower shall pay to the Holder, in full satisfaction of its obligations hereunder, an amount equal to the greater of (i) 150% times the sum of (w) the then outstanding principal amount of this Note plus (x) accrued and unpaid interest on the unpaid principal amount of this Note to the date of payment (the “Mandatory Prepayment Date”) plus (y) Default Interest, if any, on the amounts referred to in clauses (w) and/or (x) plus (z) any amounts owed to the Holder pursuant to Sections 1.3 and 1.4(g) hereof (the then outstanding principal amount of this Note to the date of payment plus the amounts referred to in clauses (x), (y) and (z) shall collectively be known as the “Default Sum”) or (ii) the “parity value” of the Default Sum to be prepaid, where parity value means (a) the highest number of shares of Common Stock issuable upon conversion of or otherwise pursuant to such Default Sum in accordance with Article I, treating the Trading Day immediately preceding the Mandatory Prepayment Date as the “Conversion Date” for purposes of determining the lowest applicable Conversion Price, unless the Default Event arises as a result of a breach in respect of a specific Conversion Date in which case such Conversion Date shall be the Conversion Date), multiplied by (b) the highest Closing Price for the Common Stock during the period beginning on the date of first occurrence of the Event of Default and ending one day prior to the Mandatory Prepayment Date (the “Default Amount”) and all other amounts payable hereunder shall immediately become due and payable, all without demand, presentment or notice, all of which hereby are expressly waived, together with all costs, including, without limitation, legal fees and expenses, of collection, and the Holder shall be entitled to exercise all other rights and remedies available at law or in equity.

 

If the Borrower fails to pay the Default Amount within five (5) business days of written notice that such amount is due and payable, then the Holder shall have the right at any time, so long as the Borrower remains in default (and so long and to the extent that there are sufficient authorized shares), to require the Borrower, upon written notice, to immediately issue, in lieu of the Default Amount, the number of shares of Common Stock of the Borrower equal to the Default Amount divided by the Conversion Price then in effect.

ARTICLE IV. MISCELLANEOUS

 

4.1         Failure or Indulgence Not Waiver. No failure or delay on the part of the Holder in the exercise of any power, right or privilege hereunder shall operate as a waiver thereof, nor shall any single or partial exercise of any such power, right or privilege preclude other or further exercise thereof or of any other right, power or privileges. All rights and remedies existing hereunder are cumulative to, and not exclusive of, any rights or remedies otherwise available.

4.3         Amendments. This Note and any provision hereof may only be amended by an instrument in writing signed by the Borrower and the Holder. The term “Note” and all reference thereto, as used throughout this instrument, shall mean this instrument (and the other Notes issued pursuant to the Purchase Agreement) as originally executed, or if later amended or supplemented, then as so amended or supplemented.

 

14
 

 

4.4         Assignability. This Note shall be binding upon the Borrower and its successors and assigns, and shall inure to be the benefit of the Holder and its successors and assigns. Each transferee of this Note must be an “accredited investor” (as defined in Rule 501(a) of the 1933 Act). Notwithstanding anything in this Note to the contrary, this Note may be pledged as collateral in connection with a bona fide margin account or other lending arrangement.

 

4.5         Cost of Collection. If default is made in the payment of this Note, the Borrower shall pay the Holder hereof costs of collection, including reasonable attorneys’ fees.

 

4.6         Governing Law. This Note shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of the State of New York without regard to principles of conflicts of laws. Any action brought by either party against the other concerning the transactions contemplated by this Note shall be brought only in the state courts of New York or in the federal courts located in the state and county of Nassau. The parties to this Note hereby irrevocably waive any objection to jurisdiction and venue of any action instituted hereunder and shall not assert any defense based on lack of jurisdiction or venue or based upon forum non conveniens. The Borrower and Holder waive trial by jury. The prevailing party shall be entitled to recover from the other party its reasonable attorney's fees and costs. In the event that any provision of this Note or any other agreement delivered in connection herewith is invalid or unenforceable under any applicable statute or rule of law, then such provision shall be deemed inoperative to the extent that it may conflict therewith and shall be deemed modified to conform with such statute or rule of law. Any such provision which may prove invalid or unenforceable under any law shall not affect the validity or enforceability of any other provision of any agreement. Each party hereby irrevocably waives personal service of process and consents to process being served in any suit, action or proceeding in connection with this Agreement or any other Transaction Document by mailing a copy thereof via registered or certified mail or overnight delivery (with evidence of delivery) to such party at the address in effect for notices to it under this Agreement and agrees that such service shall constitute good and sufficient service of process and notice thereof. Nothing contained herein shall be deemed to limit in any way any right to serve process in any other manner permitted by law.

 

4.7         Certain Amounts. Whenever pursuant to this Note the Borrower is required to pay an amount in excess of the outstanding principal amount (or the portion thereof required to be paid at that time) plus accrued and unpaid interest plus Default Interest on such interest, the Borrower and the Holder agree that the actual damages to the Holder from the receipt of cash payment on this Note may be difficult to determine and the amount to be so paid by the Borrower represents stipulated damages and not a penalty and is intended to compensate the Holder in part for loss of the opportunity to convert this Note and to earn a return from the sale of shares of Common Stock acquired upon conversion of this Note at a price in excess of the price paid for such shares pursuant to this Note. The Borrower and the Holder hereby agree that such amount of stipulated damages is not plainly disproportionate to the possible loss to the Holder from the receipt of a cash payment without the opportunity to convert this Note into shares of Common Stock.

 

4.8         Purchase Agreement. By its acceptance of this Note, each party agrees to be bound by the applicable terms of the Purchase Agreement.

The Borrower shall provide the Holder with prior notification of any meeting of the Borrower’s shareholders (and copies of proxy materials and other information sent to shareholders). In the event of any taking by the Borrower of a record of its shareholders for the purpose of determining shareholders who are entitled to receive payment of any dividend or other distribution, any right to subscribe for, purchase or otherwise acquire (including by way of merger, consolidation, reclassification or recapitalization) any share of any class or any other securities or property, or to receive any other right, or for the purpose of determining shareholders who are entitled to vote in connection with any proposed sale, lease or conveyance of all or substantially all of the assets of the Borrower or any proposed liquidation, dissolution or winding up of the Borrower, the Borrower shall mail a notice to the Holder, at least twenty (20) days prior to the record date specified therein (or thirty (30) days prior to the consummation of the transaction or event, whichever is earlier), of the date on which any such record is to be taken for the purpose of such dividend, distribution, right or other event, and a brief statement regarding the amount and character of such dividend, distribution, right or other event to the extent known at such time. The Borrower shall make a public announcement of any event requiring notification to the Holder hereunder substantially simultaneously with the notification to the Holder in accordance with the terms of this Section 4.9.

 

4.10       Remedies. The Borrower acknowledges that a breach by it of its obligations hereunder will cause irreparable harm to the Holder, by vitiating the intent and purpose of the transaction contemplated hereby. Accordingly, the Borrower acknowledges that the remedy at law for a breach of its obligations under this Note will be inadequate and agrees, in the event of a breach or threatened breach by the Borrower of the provisions of this Note, that the Holder shall be entitled, in addition to all other available remedies at law or in equity, and in addition to the penalties assessable herein, to an injunction or injunctions restraining, preventing or curing any breach of this Note and to enforce specifically the terms and provisions thereof, without the necessity of showing economic loss and without any bond or other security being required.

Promptly upon receiving such written notice and opinion, the Company, as promptly as practicable, shall notify such Holder that such Holder may sell or otherwise dispose of this Note, all in accordance with the terms of the notice delivered to the Company. Each Note thus transferred shall bear a legend as to the applicable restrictions on transferability in order to ensure compliance with the Act, unless in the opinion of counsel for the Company such legend is not required.

This Note is hereby expressly limited so that in no event whatsoever, whether by reason of acceleration of maturity of the loan evidenced hereby or otherwise, shall the amount paid or agreed to be paid to the Holder hereunder for the loan, use, forbearance or detention of money exceed that permissible under applicable law. If at any time the performance of any provision of this Note or of any other agreement or instrument entered into in connection with this Note involves a payment exceeding the limit of the interest that may be validly charged for the loan, use, forbearance or detention of money under applicable law, then automatically and retroactively, ipso facto, the obligation to be performed shall be reduced to such limit, it being the specific intent of the Company and the Holder that all payments under this Note are to be credited first to interest as permitted by law, but not in excess of (i) the agreed rate of interest set forth herein or therein or (ii) that permitted by law, whichever is the lesser, and the balance toward the reduction of principal. The provisions of this Section 12 shall never be superseded or waived and shall control every other provision of this Note and all other agreements and instruments between the Company and the Holder entered into in connection with this Note.

CONVERTIBLE PROMISSORY NOTE

 

$15,000   May 31, 2013

 

1. Principal and Interest.

 

(a) BioNeutral Group, Inc., a Nevada corporation (the "Company"), for value received, hereby promises to pay to the order of DH Technical Consulting, LLC (the "Investor" or the "Holder") the sum of Fifteen Thousand US dollars ($15,000).

 

(b) Upon repayment of This Promissory Note (the "Note") an additional 8% interest bonus payment will be added to any unpaid balance per month.

Commencing on the Demand Date, all principal and the interest bonus payment hereunder shall be payable by the Company upon demand made by the Holder or Investor.

 

(c) Upon payment in full of the principal and bonus payment, this Note shall be surrendered to the Company for cancellation.

 

(d) The principal and bonus payment under this Note shall be payable at the principal office of the Company and shall be forwarded to the address of the Holder hereof as such Holder shall from time to time designate.

 

2. Attorney's Fees. If the indebtedness represented by this Note or any part thereof is collected in bankruptcy, receivership or other judicial proceedings or if this Note is placed in the hands of attorneys for collection after default, the Company agrees to pay, in addition to the principal and the bonus payment payable hereunder, reasonable attorneys' fees and costs incurred by the Investor.

 

3. Conversion.

 

3.1 Voluntary Conversion. In the event that the Note is not paid prior to the Demand Date, the Holder shall have the right thereafter, exercisable in whole or in part, to convert the outstanding principal and bonus payment hereunder into a number of fully paid and nonassessable whole shares of the Company's $.00001 par value common stock ("Common Stock") determined in accordance with Section 3.2 below.

 

 
 

 

3.2 Shares Issuable. The number of whole shares of Common Stock into which this Note may be voluntarily converted ("Conversion Shares") shall be determined by dividing the aggregate principal amount borrowed hereunder by $.01 (the "Note Conversion Price"); provided, however, that, in no event, shall 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 Holder and its affiliates (other than shares of Common Stock which may be deemed beneficially owned through the ownership of the unconverted portion of this Note or the unexercised or unconverted portion of any other security of Maker 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 Holder and its affiliates of more than 9.9% of the outstanding shares of common stock of the Company. 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 and Regulation 13D-G thereunder, except as otherwise provided in clause (1) of such proviso. The number of shares of Common Stock to be issued upon each conversion of this Note shall be determined by dividing the Conversion Amount (as defined below) by the Note Conversion Price.

In the event the Company shall in any manner, subsequent to the issuance of this Note, approve a reclassification involving a reverse stock split and subdivision of the Company's issued and outstanding shares of Common Stock, the Note Conversion Price shall forthwith be adjusted by proportionately increasing the Note Conversion Price on the date that such subdivision shall become effective. In the event the Company shall in any manner, subsequent to the issuance of this Note, approve a reclassification involving a forward stock split and subdivision of the Company's issued and outstanding shares of Common Stock, the Note Conversion Price shall forthwith be adjusted by proportionately decreasing the Note Conversion Price on the date that such subdivision shall become effective.

 

(b)  Common Stock Defined. Whenever reference is made in this Note to the shares of Common Stock, the term "Common Stock" shall mean the Common Stock of the Company authorized as of the date hereof, and any other class of stock ranking on a parity with such Common Stock. Shares issuable upon conversion hereof shall include only shares of Common Stock of the Company.

3.5 No Fractional Shares. No fractional shares of Common Stock shall be issued upon conversion of this Note.
