SPECIAL NOTE REGARDING FORWARD-LOOKING STATEMENTS

 

Certain information included in this quarterly report on Form 10-Q and other filings of the registrant under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”), and the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”), as well as information communicated orally or in writing between the dates of such filings, contains or may contain “forward-looking statements” within the meaning of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995, Section 27A of the Securities Act and Section 21E of the Exchange Act. All statements other than statements of historical fact are “forward-looking statements” for purposes of federal and state securities laws, including, but not limited to, any projections of earnings, revenue or other financial items; any statements of the plans, strategies and objectives of management for future operations; any statements concerning proposed new services or developments; any statements regarding future economic conditions or performance; any statements of belief; and any statements of assumptions underlying any of the foregoing.

 

Forward-looking statements may include the words “may”, “could”, “estimate”, “intend”, “continue”, “believe”, “expect” or “anticipate” or other similar words. These forward-looking statements present our estimates and assumptions only as of the date of this quarterly report on Form 10-Q. Except as may be required under applicable securities laws, we do not intend, and undertake no obligation, to update any forward-looking statement. You should, however, consult further disclosures we make in future filings of our annual reports on Form 10-K, quarterly reports on Form 10-Q and current reports on Form 8-K. Additionally, the safe harbor provisions of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995 most likely do not apply to our forward-looking statements because we are considered a penny stock issuer.

Integrated Environmental Technologies, Ltd.

Notes to Unaudited Consolidated Condensed Financial Statements

 

1. Basis of Presentation

 

The accompanying consolidated condensed financial statements have been prepared assuming that the Company will continue as a going concern. The Company has incurred significant recurring operating losses and negative cash flows from operations. The Company had a working capital deficiency of $438,748 and an accumulated deficit of $24,065,892 as of September 30, 2015. The Company also has no lending relationships with commercial banks and is dependent on the completion of financings involving the private placement of its securities in order to continue operations. These factors raise substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern. The consolidated condensed financial statements do not include any adjustments that might result from the outcome of this uncertainty.

 

The Company does not anticipate establishing any lending relationships with commercial banks in the foreseeable future due to its limited operations and assets. The Company continues to execute its primary strategy of selling its anolyte disinfecting solution under the Excelyte® brand name to fund its operations and is focused on obtaining additional capital through the private placement of its securities. The Company is pursuing potential equity and/or debt investors and, from time to time, has engaged placement agents to assist it in this initiative. While the Company is pursuing the opportunities and actions described above, there can be no assurance that it will be successful in its efforts. If the Company is unable to secure additional capital, it will explore other strategic alternatives, including, but not limited to, the sale of the Company. Any additional equity financing may result in substantial dilution to the Company’s stockholders.

 

2. Inventory

 

As of September 30, 2015 and December 31, 2014, inventory consisted of parts and materials totaling $119,199 and $117,690, respectively.

 

3. Property and Equipment

 

As of September 30, 2015 and December 31, 2014, property and equipment, on a net basis, consisted of the following:

 

  

September 30, 2015

   December 31, 2014 
Leasehold improvements  $328,977   $328,977 
Equipment   515,307    437,504 
    844,284    766,481 
Less: Accumulated depreciation   (574,945)   (507,013)
   $269,339   $259,468

5. Convertible Debentures

 

April 2007 Convertible Debenture

 

On April 26, 2007, in a private placement, the Company issued a convertible debenture to an individual accredited investor in the principal amount of $25,000. This convertible debenture matured on January 2, 2009 and remains unpaid. The convertible debenture accrues interest at a rate of 12% per annum and is convertible at any time into shares of the Company’s common stock at the option of the holder at a conversion price of $0.40 per share. An aggregate of 62,500 shares of the Company’s common stock can be issued upon the conversion of the outstanding principal amount due on this convertible debenture at the current conversion price of $0.40 per share.

 

During each of the three and nine months ended September 30, 2015 and 2014, the Company recorded a total of $756 and $2,244, respectively, of interest expense related to this convertible debenture. As of September 30, 2015 and December 31, 2014, the outstanding principal on this convertible debenture was $25,000, which was included as a component of convertible debentures, and the accrued and unpaid interest was $15,685 and $13,441, respectively, which was included as a component of accrued expenses (see Note 4).

 

Zanett Convertible Debenture

 

On August 21, 2012, the Company issued to Zanett Opportunity Fund, Ltd. an 8% convertible debenture in the amount of $476,125 (the “Zanett August 2012 Debenture”). The Zanett August 2012 Debenture has a three-year term maturing on August 21, 2015 and bears interest at a rate of 8% per annum. An aggregate of 4,761,250 shares of the Company’s common stock can be issued upon the conversion of the outstanding principal amount due on the Zanett August 2012 Debenture. The Company has not made payment on the outstanding balance due on the Zanett August 2012 Debenture and, as a result, such obligation can be placed in default by the holder.

 

During each of the three and nine months ended September 30, 2015 and 2014, the Company recorded $9,601 and $28,489, respectively, of interest expense related to the Zanett August 2012 Debenture. As of September 30, 2015 and December 31, 2014, the outstanding principal on the Zanett August 2012 Debenture was $476,125, which was included as a component of convertible debentures, and the accrued and unpaid interest was $42,369 and $13,880, respectively, which was included as a component of accrued expenses (see Note 4).

6. Note Payable

 

On June 17, 2013, the Company issued a promissory note with a principal balance of $152,000 to Benchmark Performance Group, Inc. related to the purchase of nineteen EcaFlo® machines owned by Benchmark as well as the rights to the Excelyte® trademark and certain other intangible assets. The Benchmark Note incurred interest at a rate of 7% per annum and required the Company to make twenty-four monthly payments of $6,805 commencing August 1, 2013. As of September 30, 2015, the entire principal balance due on the Benchmark Note was paid in full by the Company.

 

For the three and nine months ended September 30, 2015, the Company recorded $39 and $1,092, respectively, of interest expense related to the Benchmark Note. For the three and nine months ended September 30, 2014, the Company recorded $1,376 and $5,111, respectively, of interest expense related to the Benchmark Note. As of September 30, 2015 and December 31, 2014, the outstanding principal on the Benchmark Note was $0 and $46,546, respectively.

 

7. Stockholders’ Deficiency

 

Stock Options

 

The Company currently has two stock option/stock compensation plans in place: the 2010 Stock Incentive Plan and the 2012 Equity Incentive Plan (collectively, the “Equity Incentive Plans”).

 

The 2010 Stock Incentive Plan was approved by the stockholders in September 2010. The Company had reserved for issuance an aggregate of 10,000,000 shares of common stock under the 2010 Stock Incentive Plan. As of September 30, 2015, stock options to purchase 3,846,920 shares of the Company’s common stock were outstanding under the 2010 Stock Incentive Plan and 90,500 shares of the Company’s common stock had been issued under the 2010 Stock Incentive Plan. As a result of the adoption of the Company’s 2012 Equity Incentive Plan, no further awards are permitted under the 2010 Stock Incentive Plan.

 

The 2012 Equity Incentive Plan was approved by the stockholders in May 2012. The original aggregate number of shares of common stock which could be awarded under the 2012 Equity Incentive Plan was 14,000,000 shares, subject to adjustment as provided in the 2012 Equity Incentive Plan. Effective February 25, 2015, as permitted under the 2012 Equity Incentive Plan, the Company’s board of directors increased the number of shares of common stock that could be awarded under the 2012 Equity Incentive Plan to 37,950,000 shares. As of September 30, 2015, options to purchase 4,518,150 shares of the Company’s common stock were outstanding under the 2012 Equity Incentive Plan and up to 33,431,850 shares of the Company’s common stock remain available for awards under the 2012 Equity Incentive Plan.

 

Common stock grants and stock option awards under the Equity Incentive Plans were granted or issued at prices as determined by the Company’s compensation committee, but such prices were not less than the fair market value of the Company’s common stock on the date of grant or issuance. Stock options granted and outstanding to date consist of both incentive stock options and non-qualified stock options.

A summary of stock option transactions under the Equity Incentive Plans during the nine months ended September 30, 2015 is set forth below:

 

  

Stock

Option Shares

   Weighted Average Exercise Price Per Common Share   Aggregate Intrinsic Value 
Outstanding at December 31, 2014   4,846,920   $0.15   $ 
Granted during the period   4,518,150   $0.06     
Exercised during the period            
Terminated during the period   (1,000,000)  $0.09     
Outstanding at September 30, 2015   8,365,070   $0.11   $ 
Exercisable at September 30, 2015   5,482,534   $0.14   $ 
Exercisable at December 31, 2014   3,846,920   $0.16   $ 

 

The fair value of stock options granted during the nine months ended September 30, 2015 was $152,439 and was calculated using the Black-Scholes pricing model with the following weighted average assumptions:

 

Exercise price   $0.04 - $0.08 
Grant date stock price   $0.04 - $0.076 
Expected volatility   128% - 138% 
Risk-free interest rates   1.26% - 2.36% 
Risk of forfeiture   35%
Expected life (in years)    5 - 10 
Dividend yield   0.00%

 

The risk-free interest rate is based on a treasury instrument, the term of which is consistent with the expected life of the stock options at the date of grant. In projecting expected stock price volatility, the Company used historical stock price volatility of its common stock which the Company believes is representative of future volatility. The Company estimated the expected life of stock options based on historical experience using employee exercise and option expiration data.

9. Net Loss Per Common Share

 

Basic net loss per share is computed by dividing net loss available to common shareholders by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding during the period. Diluted earnings per share reflect, in periods in which they have a dilutive effect, the impact of common shares issuable upon exercise of stock options and warrants and conversion of convertible debt that are not deemed to be anti-dilutive. The dilutive effect of the outstanding stock options and warrants is computed using the treasury stock method.

 

For the three and nine months ended September 30, 2015, diluted net loss per share did not include the effect of 8,365,070 shares of common stock issuable upon the exercise of outstanding stock options, 19,315,811 shares of common stock issuable upon the exercise of outstanding warrants and 4,823,750 shares of common stock issuable upon the conversion of convertible debt, as their effect would be anti-dilutive.

 

For the three and nine months ended September 30, 2014, diluted net loss per share did not include the effect of 5,680,254 shares of common stock issuable upon the exercise of outstanding stock options, 30,844,565 shares of common stock issuable upon the exercise of outstanding warrants and 4,823,750 shares of common stock issuable upon the conversion of convertible debt, as their effect would be anti-dilutive.

 

10. Commitments and Contingencies

 

Litigation with Former Executive Vice President - Operations

 

On June 17, 2014, a civil complaint was filed against the Company and one of its directors, E. Wayne Kinsey, III, in the Court of Common Pleas, County of Horry, State of South Carolina, by Marion Sofield, the Company’s former Executive Vice President - Operations. In her complaint, Ms. Sofield alleged breach of contract and fraud/fraudulent inducement by the Company against her with regard to her employment agreement and the termination of her employment. Ms. Sofield also alleged the Company and Mr. Kinsey engaged in a civil conspiracy and unfair trade practices and that Mr. Kinsey engaged in tortious interference. Ms. Sofield claimed that she was owed additional compensation under her terminated employment agreement, and was seeking the recovery of such compensation as well as attorney’s fees and punitive damages.

 

On July 18, 2014, the Company filed a motion to dismiss this state court action due to the binding arbitration clause contained in Ms. Sofield’s employment agreement that applied to a majority of the allegations in the complaint. On December 8, 2014, the court entered a consent order that: (a) granted the Company’s request to compel binding arbitration of the breach of contract and fraud claims; and (b) stayed the remaining causes of action in the South Carolina state court until the aforementioned binding arbitration process is complete.

 

On August 14, 2015, the Company, Mr. Kinsey and Ms. Sofield entered into a Settlement and Release Agreement with respect to this action pursuant to which the Company, Mr. Kinsey and Ms. Sofield agreed to unconditional mutual releases regarding, among other things, all of the claims made by Ms. Sofield in the civil complaint. The Company made no payment in connection with this settlement.

11. Subsequent Events

 

Issuance of Convertible Debentures

 

On November 11, 2015, the Company issued a 12% convertible debenture to an institutional investor (the “November 2015 Debenture”) in the principal amount of $275,000. In connection with the issuance of the November 2015 Debenture, the Company issued a warrant (the “November 2015 Debenture Warrant”) to purchase 1,964,286 shares of its common stock. The gross proceeds received in connection with this private placement were $247,500, which will be used for working capital purposes.

 

The November 2015 Debenture has a two-year term maturing on November 11, 2017, bears interest at a rate of 12% per annum and contains an original issue discount of 10%. Interest is payable in annual installments in cash or, at the option of the Company, in shares of the Company’s common stock. If the Company elects to pay the interest in shares of its common stock, the number of shares issued as payment will be equal to the quotient of the unpaid interest divided by the market price of the Company’s common stock, as defined in the November 2015 Debenture.

 

The entire principal amount of the November 2015 Debenture is convertible at any time into shares of the Company’s common stock at the option of the holder at a conversion price of $0.07 per share. In addition, at the option of the Company, the entire principal amount of the November 2015 Debenture is convertible into shares of the Company’s common stock at $0.07 per share upon the occurrence of a change of control, as defined in the November 2015 Debenture, or if the average closing price of the Company’s common stock for any period of twenty consecutive trading days is greater than or equal to $0.30 per share. Finally, the entire principal amount of the November 2015 Debenture automatically converts into shares of the Company’s common stock upon the Company completing a Qualified Financing (as defined in the November 2015 Debenture), at a conversion price per share equal to the lesser of: (i) 80% of the per share price paid by the purchasers of the Company’s common stock in the Qualified Financing; or (ii) $0.07. The quoted market price of the Company’s common stock on November 11, 2015 was $0.064 per share. An aggregate of 3,928,572 shares of the Company’s common stock can be issued pursuant to the November 2015 Debenture at the current conversion price of $0.07 per share.

 

The November 2015 Debenture Warrant has a three-year term and provides the holder the right to purchase 1,964,286 shares of the Company’s common stock at $0.10 per share. All of the shares of the Company’s common stock underlying the November 2015 Debenture Warrant are fully vested. The exercise price of the November 2015 Debenture Warrant will be subject to adjustment for stock dividends, stock splits, or similar events.

Item 2. Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations

 

General

 

IET was originally incorporated in Delaware on February 2, 1999 and is now a Nevada corporation. IET is headquartered in Little River, South Carolina and operates through its wholly-owned subsidiary, I.E.T., Inc., a Nevada corporation incorporated on January 11, 2002.

 

IET markets its products and equipment under the umbrella brand name, EcoTreatments™. IET produces a hypochlorous acid solution (“Anolyte”) as well as an anti-oxidizing, mildly alkaline solution (“Catholyte”), that provide an environmentally friendly and effective alternative for cleaning, sanitizing and disinfecting as compared to the hazardous chemicals traditionally prevalent in commercial use. IET markets and sells Anolyte under the brand name, Excelyte® and markets Catholyte under the brand name, Catholyte Zero. The majority of IET’s sales and marketing efforts are focused on Excelyte®. IET manufactures proprietary equipment, which it markets under the brand name EcaFlo®, to produce Anolyte and Catholyte for distribution by IET and, under certain circumstances, such equipment is leased by IET to customers for use at their facilities.

 

Products

 

We produce Anolyte that is effective as a disinfectant without leaving a harmful residue. The naturally occurring properties and less-corrosive nature of Anolyte make it an excellent replacement for quaternary ammonia, sodium hypochlorite (bleach) and other hazardous chemicals currently being used as disinfectants and sanitizers. Anolyte contains an active killing agent that is produced with a pH of 6.5 and contains a ratio of free available chlorine of approximately 92% hypochlorous acid to 8% hypochlorite. Anolyte is used in the oil and gas market as a hydrogen sulfide scavenger/eliminator and biocide. Anolyte kills various pathogens including, but not limited to, Mycobacterium bovis (Tuberculosis), Salmonella enterica, Pseudomonas aeruginosa, Staphylococcus aureus, methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA) and H1N1 influenza virus (swine flu). Anolyte also kills hospital-acquired pathogens such as Clostridium difficile spores (C. diff) and vancomycin-resistant enterococci (VRE) as well as a carbapenem-resistant enterobacteriaceae (CRE) known as Klebsiella pneumoniae (NDM-1). Further, the high-risk blood-borne pathogen human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) and the food-borne pathogens Listeria monocytogenes and Escherichia coli (E. coli) are killed by Anolyte. We also produce Catholyte, an anti-oxidizing and mild alkaline solution that is effective as a degreaser and cleaner.

 

Anolyte is registered with the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (the “EPA”) as a tuberculocidal hospital-level surface disinfectant (EPA Registration No. 82341-1). In addition, Anolyte is registered with the EPA (EPA Registration No. 82341-4) as a disinfectant to prevent Canine distemper virus, Canine parvovirus and Bordetella bronchiseptica.

 

IET will also lease EcaFlo® equipment to a customer in certain situations if the customer’s business model and required volume of Anolyte or Catholyte warrants such an arrangement. Under this type of arrangement, we lease our EcaFlo® equipment and provide service support for a fixed monthly amount plus royalty payments for the Anolyte and Catholyte produced by the customer. We also license to certain customers the right to utilize our intellectual property pursuant to which the customer is required to pay us a monthly fee based on the number of gallons of Anolyte and Catholyte produced by our EcaFlo® equipment. We currently have no active lease arrangements and have one active license agreement.

 

17
   

 

Business Strategy

 

We seek long-term relationships and commitments directly with our targeted customers and distributors. Our business model is focused on selling Anolyte and Catholyte directly to customers. In certain situations, a customer’s business model and required volume of Anolyte and Catholyte may necessitate the placement of our EcaFlo® equipment at the customer’s facility. In these situations, we would lease the EcaFlo® equipment to the customer, maintaining ownership of the EcaFlo® equipment.

 

We are primarily focused on selling Excelyte® in the oil and gas production market. While our emphasis on the oil and gas market has required the dedication of a majority of our resources, we are also interested in the healthcare facilities and food production markets, where we plan to collaborate with other parties who can assist us in the development, marketing and distribution of Excelyte®.

 

Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates

 

The discussion and analysis of the Company’s financial condition and results of operations are based upon the interim consolidated financial statements contained elsewhere herein, which have been prepared in accordance with U.S. GAAP. The preparation of these consolidated financial statements required us to make estimates and judgments that affect the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, revenues and expenses, and related disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities. On an on-going basis, we evaluate our estimates, including those related to bad debts, income taxes, contingencies and litigation. We based our estimates on historical experience and on various other assumptions that are believed to be reasonable under the circumstances, the results of which form the basis for making judgments about the carrying value of assets and liabilities that are not readily apparent from other sources. Actual results may differ from these estimates under different assumptions or conditions.

 

The critical accounting estimates that we believe affect the more significant judgments and estimates used in preparation of the consolidated financial statements contained elsewhere herein are described in the Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations and in the Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements included in the Company’s annual report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2014. There have been no material changes to the critical accounting policies.

The $893,078, or 61%, increase in the net loss for the nine months ended September 30, 2015 was primarily attributable to a $514,678 increase in general and administrative expenses, a $527,795 increase in sales and marketing expenses and a $66,302 increase in research and development expenses, offset by a $211,895 increase in gross profit on sales.

 

Liquidity and Capital Resources

 

As of September 30, 2015, IET had a working capital deficiency of $438,748 and cash on hand of $499,812. The $128,520 increase in cash on hand from December 31, 2014 was primarily due to the receipt of $1,913,950 of net proceeds from the sale of our common stock and common stock units, offset by $46,546 of payments on a note payable, the purchase of $21,852 of equipment and our continuing operating expenses.

 

During the past several years, IET has generally sustained recurring losses and negative cash flows from operations. We currently do not generate sufficient revenue from the sale of our products to fund our operations and have funded this shortfall through the sale of our common stock.

 

On November 11, 2015, we issued a 12% convertible debenture to an institutional investor. The gross proceeds received in connection with this private placement were $247,500.

 

As of November 12, 2015, our cash position was approximately $625,000. If we are not able to generate profitable operations from the sale of our products or we are not able to obtain additional financing, we will only be able to continue our operations for approximately four months from the filing date of this quarterly report on Form 10-Q. We have no lending relationships with commercial banks and are dependent on our ability to attain profitable operations and raise additional capital through one or more equity and/or debt financings in order to continue operations. While we are working toward attaining profitability for our continuing operations and pursuing potential equity and/or debt investors, there can be no assurance that we will be successful in our efforts. From time to time, we engage placement agents to assist us in our financing initiatives. Any additional equity financing may result in substantial dilution to our stockholders. If we are unable to attain profitable operations or secure additional capital, we will explore strategic alternatives, including, but not limited to, the possible sale of IET. Our independent registered public accounting firm included an emphasis of a matter paragraph in its report included in our annual report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2014, which expressed substantial doubt about our ability to continue as a going concern. Our consolidated condensed financial statements included herein do not include any adjustments related to this uncertainty.

IET is a smaller reporting company and is therefore not required to provide this information.

 

Item 4. Controls and Procedures

 

Evaluation of disclosure controls and procedures

 

As required by Rule 13a-15 under the Exchange Act, as of the end of the Company’s last fiscal quarter, the Company carried out an evaluation of the effectiveness of the design and operation of the Company’s disclosure controls and procedures. This evaluation was carried out under the supervision and with the participation of the Company’s current management, including the Company’s President and Chief Executive Officer and the Company’s Executive Vice President, Chief Financial Officer and Secretary (Principal Financial and Accounting Officer), who concluded that the Company’s disclosure controls and procedures are effective.

 

Disclosure controls and procedures are controls and other procedures that are designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed in the Company reports filed or submitted under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized and reported, within the time periods specified in the SEC’s rules and forms. Disclosure controls and procedures include, without limitation, controls and procedures designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed in Company reports filed under the Exchange Act is accumulated and communicated to management, including the Company’s President and Chief Executive Officer and the Company’s Executive Vice President, Chief Financial Officer and Secretary (Principal Financial and Accounting Officer), as appropriate, to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure.

 

Changes in internal control over financial reporting.

 

Management reviews the Company’s system of internal control over financial reporting and makes changes to the Company’s processes and systems to improve controls and increase efficiency, while ensuring that the Company maintains an effective internal control environment. Changes may include such activities as implementing new, more efficient systems, consolidating activities and migrating processes.

 

During the Company’s last fiscal quarter, there was no change in the Company’s internal control over financial reporting that has materially affected, or is reasonably likely to materially affect, the Company’s internal control over financial reporting.

2.8. Adjustment of Conversion Price and Number of Underlying Shares. The number of shares of Common Stock issuable upon the conversion of this Debenture and the Conversion Price shall be subject to adjustment from time to time as follows:

 

(a) Adjustment for Stock Splits and Combinations. If the Company at any time or from time to time after the date of this Debenture effects a subdivision of the outstanding Common Stock or combines the outstanding shares of Common Stock, then, in each such case, the Conversion Price in effect immediately prior to such event shall be adjusted so that each Holder of conversion rights under this Debenture shall have the right to convert his, her or its interests into the number of shares of Common Stock which he, she or it would have owned after the event had such shares of Common Stock been converted immediately prior to the occurrence of such event. Any adjustment under this Section 2.8(a) shall become effective as of the date and time such subdivision or combination becomes effective.

 

(b) No Impairment. The Company will not, through any reorganization, recapitalization, transfer of assets, consolidation, merger, dissolution, issue or sale of securities or any other voluntary action, avoid or seek to avoid the observance or performance of any of the terms to be observed or performed hereunder by the Company.

 

(c) Record Date. If the Company takes a record of the holders of Common Stock for the purpose of entitling them (i) to receive a dividend or other distribution payable in Common Stock, or in any rights, options or warrants to subscribe for or to purchase Common Stock (such rights or options or warrants being herein called “Options”) or in any stock or other securities convertible into or exchangeable for Common Stock (such convertible or exchangeable stock or securities being herein called “Convertible Securities”) or (ii) to subscribe for or purchase Common Stock, Options or Convertible Securities, then such record date shall be deemed to be the date of the issue or sale of the shares of Common Stock deemed to have been issued or sold upon the declaration of such dividend or the making of such other distribution or the date of the granting of such right of subscription or purchase, as the case may be.

 

(d) Actions to Maintain Conversion Price Above Par Value. Before taking any action which would cause an adjustment in the Maturity Date Conversion Price such that, upon conversion of this Debenture, shares of Common Stock with par value, if any, would be deemed to be issued below the then par value of the Common Stock, the Company will take any corporate action which may, in the opinion of its counsel, be reasonable necessary in order that the Company may validly and legally issue fully paid and non-assessable shares of Common Stock at the Maturity Date Conversion Price as so adjusted.

 

(e) Certificate of Adjustment. In any case of an adjustment of the number of shares of Common Stock or other securities issuable upon conversion of this Debenture, the Chief Financial Officer or the President of the Company shall compute such adjustment in accordance with the provisions hereof and prepare and sign a certificate showing such adjustment, and shall mail such certificate, by first class mail, postage prepaid, to the Holder of this Debenture at the Holder’s address as shown in the Company’s books. The certificate shall set forth such adjustment, showing in detail the facts upon which such adjustment is based, including a statement of the number of shares of Common Stock and the type and amount, if any, of other property which at the time would be received upon conversion of this Debenture.

Warehouse/Office Space

1744 South Bickley

Pecos, Texas 79722

(the “Premises”)

 

Upon the following TERMS and CONDITIONS:

 

1. Terms and Rent. Lessor demises the above Premises (approximately 4,890 gross rentable square feet) for a term of thirty-six (36) months, commencing on September 1, 2015, and terminating on the anniversary date thirty-six (36) months thereafter (the “Term”).

 

Monthly rent is $4,000, due on or before the 10th of each month. All payments shall be made to Lessor, at the address specified above.

 

2. Use. Lessee shall use and occupy the Premises for commercial purposes only.

 

3. Care and Maintenance of Premises. Lessor represents and warrants to Lessee that the Premises are in good order and repair, unless otherwise indicated herein. Lessee shall, at its own expense and at all times, maintain the Premises in good and safe condition, and shall surrender the same, at termination hereof, in as good condition as received, normal wear and tear excepted. Lessee shall be responsible for all maintenance and repairs required on the interior of the Premises. Lessor shall be responsible for the HVAC, roof, exterior walls, and structural foundations. Lessor shall also maintain in good condition the common areas of the building housing the Premises and the outside of the Premises, including, without limitations, the sidewalks, lawns and shrubbery.

 

4. Alterations. Lessee shall not, without first obtaining the written consent of Lessor, make any material alterations, additions, or improvements, in, to or about the Premises.

 

5. Ordinances and Statutes. Lessee shall comply with all statutes, ordinances and requirements of all municipal, state and federal authorities now enforce, or which may hereafter be in force, pertaining to the Premises, occasioned by or affecting the use thereof by Lessee.

 

6. Assignment and Subletting. Lessee shall not assign this Lease or sublet any portion of the Premises without prior written consent of the Lessor, which shall not be unreasonably withheld. Any such assignment or subletting without consent shall be void and, at the option of the Lessor, may terminate this Lease.

 

7. Utilities &Taxes. Electric and gas for the Premises shall be paid by Lessee. Landlord shall be responsible for all property taxes with respect to the Premises.

 

8. Entry and Inspection. Lessee shall permit Lessor or Lessor’s agents to enter upon the Premises at reasonable notice, for the purpose of inspecting the same, and will permit Lessor at any time within sixty (60) days prior to the expiration of this Lease, to place upon the Premises any usual “To Let” or “For Lease” signs, and permit persons desiring to lease the same to inspect the Premises thereafter.

 

9. Possession. Lessor shall deliver possession of the Premises to Lessee at commencement of this Lease.

 

10. Quiet Enjoyment. Lessor covenants that if, and so long as, Lessee pays the rent as required under this Lease, and performs Lessee’s other covenants under this Lease, Lessor will do nothing to affect Lessee’s right to peaceably and quietly have, hold and enjoy the Premises for the Term.

 

 
   

 

11. Indemnification of Lessor. Lessor shall not be liable for any damage or injury to Lessee, or any other person, or to the property, occurring on the demised Premises or any part thereof, unless due to Lessor, or Lessor’s agents, contractors, or employees negligent acts or omissions for which Lessor shall be liable.

 

12. Insurance. Lessee, at its own expense, shall maintain during the Term insurance on its own contents. In addition, during the Term, Lessee shall maintain commercial liability insurance in the amount of not less than $1,000,000, which will cover bodily injury and property damage and name the Lessor as an additional insured. Lessee shall provide Lessor with a Certificate of Insurance showing Lessor as an additional insured. The Certificate of Insurance shall provide for a 30-day written notice to Lessor in the event of cancellation or material change of coverage. To the maximum extent permitted by the insurance policies which may be owned by Lessor or Lessee, Lessee and Lessor, for the benefit each other, waive any and all rights of subrogation, which might otherwise exist.

 

13. Eminent Domain. If the Premises or any part thereof or any estate therein, or any other part of the building materially affecting Lessee’s use of the Premises, shall be taken by eminent domain, this Lease shall terminate on the date when title vests pursuant to such taking. The rent and any additional rent, shall be apportioned as of the termination date, and any rent paid for any period beyond that date shall be repaid to Lessee. Lessee shall not be entitled to any part of the award for such taking or any payment in lieu thereof, but Lessee may file a claim for any taking of fixtures and improvements owned by Lessee, and for moving expenses.

 

14. Destruction of Premises. In the event of a partial destruction of the Premises during the Term, from any cause, Lessor shall forthwith repair the same, provided that such repairs can be made within sixty (60) days under existing governmental laws and regulations, but such partial destruction shall not terminate this Lease, except the Lessee shall be entitled to a proportionate reduction of rent while such repairs are being made, based upon the extent to which the making of such repairs shall interfere with the business of Lessee on the Premises. If such repairs cannot be made within sixty (60) days, Lessor, at its option, may make the same within a reasonable time, this Lease continuing in effect with the rent proportionately abated as aforesaid; provided, however, that if such repairs cannot be made within sixty (60) days, Lessee may, in its sole discretion, elect to terminate this Lease. In the event that Lessor shall not elect to make such repairs which cannot be made within sixty (60) days, this Lease may be terminated at the option of either party. In the event that the building in which the demised Premises may be situated is destroyed to an extent of not less than one-third of the replacement cost thereof, Lessor may elect to terminate this Lease whether the demised Premises be injured or not. Total destruction of the building in which the Premises may be situated shall terminate this Lease.

 

15. Lessor’s Remedies on Default. If Lessee defaults in the payment of rent, or any additional rent, or defaults in the performance of any of the other covenants or conditions hereof, Lessor shall give Lessee written notice of such default and if Lessee does not cure any such default within fifteen (15) days following receipt of said notice (or if such other default is of such nature that it cannot be completely cured within such period, if Lessee does not commence such curing within such fifteen (15) days and thereafter proceed with reasonable diligence and in good faith to cure such default), then Lessor may terminate this Lease on not less than ten (10) days’ written notice to Lessee. On the date specified in such termination notice the term of this Lease shall terminate, and Lessee shall then quit and surrender the Premises to Lessor, without extinguishing Lessee’s liability. If this Lease shall have been so terminated by Lessor, Lessor may at any time thereafter resume possession of the Premises by any lawful means and remove Lessee or other occupants and their property.

 

16. Attorney’s Fees. In case suit should be brought for recovery of the Premises or for any sum due hereunder, or because of any act which may arise out of the possession of the Premises, by either party, the prevailing party shall be entitled to all costs incurred in connection with such action, including a reasonable attorney’s fee.

 

17. Waiver. No failure by Lessor or Lessee to enforce any term hereof shall be deemed to be a waiver.

 

18. Notices. Any notice by either party to the other shall be in writing and shall be deemed to have been duly given only if (a) delivered personally or (b) sent by registered mail or certified mail return receipt requested in a postage paid envelope or (c) sent by nationally recognized overnight delivery service. Notices shall be sent to the addresses provided on the signature page hereof or to such other addresses as the Lessee or the Lessor, respectively, may designate in writing. Notice shall be deemed to have been duly given, if delivered personally, on delivery thereof, if mailed, upon the seventh (7th) day after the mailing thereof or if sent by overnight delivery service, the next business day.

 

  2 
 

 

19. Heirs, Assigns, Successors. This Lease is binding upon and inures to the benefit of the heirs, assigns and successors in interest to the parties.

 

20. Option to Renew. Provided that Lessee is not in default in the performance of this Lease, Lessee shall have the option to renew the lease for two additional terms of three (3) years, commencing at the expiration of the initial Term and subsequent extended terms. All of the terms and conditions of the Lease shall apply during the renewal term. The monthly rent payment shall equal the last month’s rent, subject to 2% increase each additional term thereafter commencing on the anniversary date of the commencement of this Lease. The option shall automatically take effect unless Lessee gives Lessor written notice of Lessee’s decision not to extend the Term of this Lease at least thirty (30) days prior to the commencement date of the extension period.

 

21. Subordination. This Lease is and shall be subordinate to all existing and future liens and encumbrances against the property provided that Lessee’s right of possession shall not be disturbed so long as Lessee is not in default following applicable notice and cure periods under this Lease.

 

22. Entire Agreement. The foregoing constitutes the entire agreement between the parties and may be modified only by a writing signed by both parties.

 

23. Governing Law. This Lease will be governed by the laws of the State of Texas, without giving effect to its conflict of law principles.

 

24. Broker. Lessee and Lessor represent and warrant to the each other that no broker brought about this transaction, and each agrees to indemnify and hold the other harmless from any and all claims of any broker(s) arising out of or in connection with the negotiations of or entering into of this Lease by Lessee and Lessor.

 

25. Severability. If any of the provisions of this Lease, or the application of such provisions, will be invalid or unenforceable, the remainder of this Lease will not be affected, and this Lease will be valid and enforceable to the fullest extent permitted by law.

 

26. Counterparts. This Lease may be executed in multiple counterparts, each of which, when assembled to include an original signature for each party contemplated to sign this Lease, will constitute a complete and fully executed original. All such fully executed counterparts will collectively constitute a single agreement. The parties expressly agree that if the signature of Lessor and/or Lessee on this Lease is not an original, but is a digital, mechanical or electronic reproduction (such as, but not limited to, a photocopy, fax, e-mail, PDF, Adobe image, JPEG, telegram, telex or telecopy), then such digital, mechanical or electronic reproduction shall be as enforceable, valid and binding as, and the legal equivalent to, an authentic and traditional ink-on-paper original wet signature penned manually by its signatory.
