Item 14. Indemnification of Directors and Officers.

Neither our Articles of Incorporation nor Bylaws prevent us from indemnifying our officers, directors and agents to the extent permitted under the Nevada Revised Statute (“NRS”). NRS Section 78.7502 provides that a corporation shall indemnify any director, officer, employee or agent of a corporation against expenses, including attorneys’ fees, actually and reasonably incurred by him in connection with any the defense to the extent that a director, officer, employee or agent of a corporation has been successful on the merits or otherwise in defense of any action, suit or proceeding referred to Section 78.7502(1) or 78.7502(2), or in defense of any claim, issue or matter therein.

NRS 78.7502(1) provides that a corporation may indemnify any person who was or is a party or is threatened to be made a party to any threatened, pending or completed action, suit or proceeding, whether civil, criminal, administrative or investigative, except an action by or in the right of the corporation, by reason of the fact that he is or was a director, officer, employee or agent of the corporation, or is or was serving at the request of the corporation as a director, officer, employee or agent of another corporation, partnership, joint venture, trust or other enterprise, against expenses, including attorneys’ fees, judgments, fines and amounts paid in settlement actually and reasonably incurred by him in connection with the action, suit or proceeding if he: (a) is not liable pursuant to NRS 78.138; or (b) acted in good faith and in a manner which he reasonably believed to be in or not opposed to the best interests of the corporation, and, with respect to any criminal action or proceeding, had no reasonable cause to believe his conduct was unlawful. The termination of any action, suit or proceeding by judgment, order, settlement, conviction or upon a plea of nolo contendere or its equivalent, does not, of itself, create a presumption that the person is liable pursuant to NRS 78.138 or did not act in good faith and in a manner which he or she reasonably believed to be in or not opposed to the best interests of the corporation, or that, with respect to any criminal action or proceeding, he or she had reasonable cause to believe that the conduct was unlawful.

NRS Section 78.7502(2) provides that a corporation may indemnify any person who was or is a party or is threatened to be made a party to any threatened, pending or completed action or suit by or in the right of the corporation to procure a judgment in its favor by reason of the fact that he is or was a director, officer, employee or agent of the corporation, or is or was serving at the request of the corporation as a director, officer, employee or agent of another corporation, partnership, joint venture, trust or other enterprise against expenses, including amounts paid in settlement and attorneys’ fees actually and reasonably incurred by him in connection with the defense or settlement of the action or suit if he: (a) is not liable pursuant to NRS 78.138; or (b) acted in good faith and in a manner which he reasonably believed to be in or not opposed to the best interests of the corporation. Indemnification may not be made for any claim, issue or matter as to which such a person has been


adjudged by a court of competent jurisdiction, after exhaustion of all appeals there from, to be liable to the corporation or for amounts paid in settlement to the corporation, unless and only to the extent that the court in which the action or suit was brought or other court of competent jurisdiction determines upon application that in view of all the circumstances of the case, the person is fairly and reasonably entitled to indemnity for such expenses as the court deems proper.

NRS Section 78.7502(3) To the extent that a director, officer, employee or agent of a corporation has been successful on the merits or otherwise in defense of any action, suit or proceeding referred to in subsections 1 and 2, or in defense of any claim, issue or matter therein, the corporation shall indemnify him or her against expenses, including attorneys’ fees, actually and reasonably incurred by him or her in connection with the defense.

NRS Section 78.747(1) provides that except as otherwise provided by specific statute, no director or officer of a corporation is individually liable for a debt or liability of the corporation, unless the director or officer acts as the alter ego of the corporation. The court as a matter of law must determine the question of whether a director or officer acts as the alter ego of a corporation. (2) A stockholder, director or officer acts as the alter ego of a corporation if: (a) The corporation is influenced and governed by the stockholder, director or officer; (b) There is such unity of interest and ownership that the corporation and the stockholder, director or officer are inseparable from each other; and (c) Adherence to the corporate fiction of a separate entity would sanction fraud or promote a manifest injustice. (3) The question of whether a stockholder, director or officer acts as the alter ego of a corporation must be determined by the court as a matter of law.

Insofar as indemnification for liabilities arising under the Securities Act may be permitted to directors, officers or persons controlling us pursuant to the foregoing provisions, we have been informed that, in the opinion of the SEC, such indemnification is against public policy as expressed in the Securities Act and is therefore unenforceable. In the event that a claim for indemnification against such liabilities (other than the payment by the registrant of expenses incurred or paid by a director, officer or controlling person of the registrant in the successful defense of any action, suit or proceeding) is asserted by such director, officer or controlling person in connection with the securities being registered, we will, unless in the opinion of our counsel the matter has been settled by controlling precedent, submit to a court of appropriate jurisdiction the question whether such indemnification by us is against public policy as expressed hereby in the Securities Act and we will be governed by the final adjudication of such issue.

 

Item 15. Recent Sales of Unregistered Securities.

On November 11, 2011, we issued an aggregate of 6,000,000 shares of our Series A Preferred Stock to Vincent Mehdizadeh and Shannon Illingworth in exchange for services rendered to the Company. 3,000,000 shares were subsequently cancelled and returned to treasury.

On June 13, 2013, we issued to Moody’s Capital Solutions, Inc. warrants to purchase 15,000 shares of our common stock at an exercise price of $31 as consideration for their services as finder in identifying an accredited investor who participated in our private offering. The warrants expire June 13, 2018.

From January 1, 2012 through December 31, 2012, the Company sold 1,168,733 shares of common stock to accredited investors for an average of $1.15 per share, or aggregate proceeds of $1,359,050, including carry-over shares through January of 2013, deemed by management to be materially part of the prior period.

On April 1, 2013, we issued warrants to purchase 260,864 shares of our common stock to Vapor Systems International in exchange for the outstanding shares of Vaporfection International, Inc., which is now our wholly owned subsidiary, which were subsequently split up and reissued to the individual owners of Vapor Systems International, LLC. The warrants have an exercise price of $.001 per share, subject to adjustment for stock dividends, subdivisions or combinations of the common stock, reclassifications and similar transactions, and are exercisable beginning on March 21, 2014 until April 1, 2018.


During the year ending December 31, 2013 we issued 1,079,303 shares of common stock to various accredited investors and received aggregate gross proceeds in the amount of $5,772,094 (of which $4,486,541 was cash and $1,285,553 non-cash).

From January to March 31, 2014 the Company issued 485,830 shares of common stock to accredited investors at a price of $5.00 per share raising proceeds of $2,429,150.

The Company issued 6,540 shares to its attorneys for legal fees on November 12, 2014 at a price of $6.59 per share and 46,352 shares to its attorneys for legal fees on December 31, 2014 at $5.11 per share. The Company also issued 252,812 shares to former shareholders of Vaporfection as part of a settlement agreement to resolve a litigation dispute.

The August 14, 2015 Convertible Debt Financing, the August 20, 2015 Convertible Debt Financing and the July 2015 Debenture, including amendments and modifications are described in the prospectus to this registration statement under the heading “Recent Developments” and are incorporated into this Item 15 by reference.

On October 14, 2015, the Company issued seven debentures in the aggregate of $2,000,000 to the October 2015 Investor as consideration for services previously rendered to the Company. The debentures and related purchase agreement have the same terms as the August 14 Debentures and August 14 Purchase Agreement (the “October 2015 Debentures” and “October 2015 Purchase Agreement”, respectively) except that the October 2015 Purchase Agreement does not provide for registration rights to the October 2015 Investor with regard to the shares underlying the October 2015 Debentures. The October 15 Investor has agreed with the Company return any shares from conversions of October 2015 Debentures remaining after all fees payable for services previously rendered to the Company prior to the time of conversion have been collected by the October 15 Investor through the sale of such shares. To the extent that the sale of shares underlying the October 2015 Debentures do not satisfy outstanding amounts payable to the service provider, such amounts will remain payable to the service provider by the Company.

In connection with the foregoing, we relied upon the exemption from registration provided by Section 4(a)(2) of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, for transactions not involving a public offering.

Item 17. Undertakings.

1. The undersigned registrant hereby undertakes to file, during any period in which offers or sales are being made, a post-effective amendment to this registration statement:

(i) To include any prospectus required by Section 10(a)(3) of the Securities Act of 1933.

(ii) To reflect in the prospectus any facts or events arising after the effective date of the registration statement (or the most recent post-effective amendment thereof) which, individually or in the aggregate, represent a fundamental change in the information set forth in the registration statement. Notwithstanding the foregoing, any increase or decrease in volume of securities offered (if the total dollar value of securities offered would not exceed that which was registered) and any deviation from the low or high end of the estimated maximum offering range may be reflected in the form of prospectus filed with the Commission pursuant to Rule 424(b) if, in the aggregate, the changes in volume and price represent no more than 20 percent change in the maximum aggregate offering price set forth in the “Calculation of Registration Fee” table in the effective registration statement.

(iii) To include any material information with respect to the plan of distribution not previously disclosed in the registration statement or any material change to such information in the registration statement.

Provided, however, that paragraphs (B)(1)(i) and (B)(1)(ii) of this section do not apply if the registration statement is on Form S-3, Form S-8 or Form F-3, and the information required to be included in a post-effective amendment by those paragraphs is contained in periodic reports filed with or furnished to the Commission by the Registrant pursuant to Section 13 or Section 15(d) of the Exchange Act that are incorporated by reference in the registration statement.

2. The undersigned registrant hereby undertakes that, for the purpose of determining any liability under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, each such post-effective amendment shall be deemed to be a new registration statement relating to the securities offered therein, and the offering of such securities at that time shall be deemed to be the initial bona fide offering thereof.


3. The undersigned registrant hereby undertakes to remove from registration by means of a post-effective amendment any of the securities being registered that remain unsold at the termination of the offering.

4. The undersigned registrant hereby undertakes that, for purposes of determining any liability under the Securities Act, each filing of the registrant’s annual report pursuant to Section 13(a) or Section 15(d) of the Exchange Act (and, where applicable, each filing of an employee benefit plan’s annual report pursuant to Section 15(d) of the Exchange Act) that is incorporated by reference in the registration statement shall be deemed to be a new registration statement relating to the securities offered therein, and the offering of such securities at that time shall be deemed to be the initial bona fide offering thereof.

5. The undersigned registrant hereby undertakes that, for the purposes of determining liability to any purchaser:

If the registrant is subject to Rule 430C, each prospectus filed pursuant to Rule 424(b) as part of a registration statement relating to an offering, other than registration statements relying on Rule 430B or other than prospectuses filed in reliance on Rule 430A, shall be deemed to be part of and included in the registration statement as of the date it is first used after effectiveness. Provided, however, that no statement made in a registration statement or prospectus that is part of the registration statement or made in a document incorporated or deemed incorporated by reference into the registration statement or prospectus that is part of the registration statement will, as to a purchaser with a time of contract of sale prior to such first use, supersede or modify any statement that was made in the registration statement or prospectus that was part of the registration statement or made in any such document immediately prior to such date of first use.

6. Insofar as indemnification for liabilities arising under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, may be permitted to directors, officers and controlling persons of the undersigned registrant according the foregoing provisions, or otherwise, the undersigned registrant has been advised that in the opinion of the Securities and Exchange Commission such indemnification is against public policy as expressed in the Act and is, therefore, unenforceable. In the event that a claim for indemnification against such liabilities (other than the payment by the Registrant of expenses incurred or paid by a director, officer or controlling person of the registrant in the successful defense of any action, suit or proceeding) is asserted by such director, officer or controlling person in connection with the securities being registered, the registrant will, unless in the opinion of its counsel the matter has been settled by controlling precedent, submit to a court of appropriate jurisdiction the question whether such indemnification by it is against public policy as expressed in the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, and will be governed by the final adjudication of such issue.

MedBox and Marsh are collectively referred to herein as “Parties” and individually as a “Party.” In consideration of the mutual promises contained herein, the Parties agree as follows:

1. Term. The term of this Agreement shall commence on the Effective Date and terminate on the fifth anniversary of the Effective Date unless sooner terminated as provided in this Agreement (the “Term”). The Parties may by mutual agreement extend the Term for successive two (2) year periods.

2. Services. Marsh agrees to perform for MedBox the services described in Exhibit A (the “Services”), and MedBox agrees to pay Marsh the compensation described in Exhibit A for Marsh’s performance of the Services, which may be modified from time to time by mutual written agreement of the Parties.

3. Representations and Warranties. The Parties represent and warrant that: (i) each has the full right, power and legal capacity to enter and deliver this Agreement and to perform its obligations hereunder; (ii) each has or will obtain all rights, licenses, permits and authorization to grow the Products in the locations where Services are to be provided (as defined in Exhibit A) as required within this Agreement; (ii) no approvals or consents of any persons or entities are required from the Parties in order to execute and deliver this Agreement or to perform its obligations hereunder; (iii) this Agreement has been duly authorized and executed and is valid and legally binding obligation of each Party; and (iv) the Parties will comply with all applicable laws, rules, regulations and requirements related to or in connection with performing the Services.

4. Termination.

If any employee or agent of Marsh is reclassified by a state or federal agency or court as MedBox’s employee, Marsh shall fully indemnify and hold MedBox harmless from all expenses, wages, costs, losses, or expenses of any nature whatsoever, including reasonable attorneys’ fees, incurred or suffered by MedBox as a result of such reclassification.

7. Indemnification. Each Party agrees to indemnify and hold harmless the other Party and its directors, officers and employees from and against all taxes, losses, damages, liabilities, costs and expenses, including attorneys’ fees and other legal expenses, arising directly from or in connection with (i) any negligent, reckless or intentionally wrongful act of such Party or its assistants, employees or agents, (ii) a determination by a court or agency that a Party (or any of its employees or agents) is not an independent contractor, (iii) any material breach by a Party or its assistants, employees or agents of any of the covenants or warranties contained in this Agreement, (iv) any failure of a Party to perform its obligations pursuant to this Agreement in accordance with all applicable laws, rules and regulations, not due to any false representation of the other Party, or (v) any violation or claimed violation of a third party’s rights resulting in whole or in part from a Party’s use of the work product of such third party under this Agreement.

8. Right of First Presentation. Marsh shall present all business opportunities related to the Services to MedBox prior to seeking or obtaining offers from third parties (“New Services”). MedBox shall have thirty (30) days from the date of receipt of the New Services to accept or decline the New Services. All approvals shall be in writing. If MedBox does not provide a response within the thirty (30) day period, the proposed New Services will be deemed to have been declined.
