ITEM 1.01 ENTRY INTO A MATERIAL DEFINITIVE AGREEMENT

 

Securities Purchase Agreement, Secured Promissory Notes and Warrants

 

Commencing on June 8, 2016 (the “Initial Closing Date”) and June 9, 2016 (“Second Closing Date”), QuantumSphere, Inc., a Nevada corporation (the “Registrant”), entered into a Securities Purchase Agreement (the “June 2016 Securities Purchase Agreement”) with certain accredited investors (collectively, the “Investors”) pursuant to which the Registrant issued Six Hundred Seventy-Five Thousand Six Hundred and Twenty-Five Dollars ($675,625) of 5% Secured Promissory Notes (the “June 2016 Notes”) with detachable common stock purchase warrants (the “June 2016 Warrants”). The $675,625 of June 2016 Notes consists of (i) Five Hundred Thousand Dollars ($500,000) of cash investments; (ii) on the Second Closing Date, an existing noteholder exchanged an outstanding promissory note and represented by the Note Exchange Agreement attached hereto, in the original principal amount of Seventy-Five Thousand Dollars ($75,000) that was to mature on July 15, 2016, (iii) legal fees of Twelve Thousand Five Hundred Dollars ($12,500) and (iv) original issue discount (“OID”) of $88,125, which equates to 15% of $587,500.

 

The June 2016 Notes shall bear simple interest at the rate of five percent (5%) per annum and will mature on the four (4) month anniversary of issuance.. The default interest rate on the June 2016 Notes is fifteen percent (15%) per annum. All interest shall accrue and be payable at maturity in the form of cash. The June 2016 Notes are not convertible, unless an event of default occurs thereunder. In the event of a default, the June 2016 Notes, including all original principal, accrued interest and default interest, may be converted into shares of common stock of the Registrant at the following conversion rate: 60% multiplied by the volume-weighted average price (“VWAP”) of the common stock on the OTCQB (or if not reported, as calculated by the holder in good faith) during the thirty (30) consecutive trading day period immediately preceding the trading day that the company receives a notice of conversion from investor.

 

In connection with the June 2016 Notes, the Investors shall also be issued June 2016 Warrants. The June 2016 Warrants shall consist of one and one-half (1.5) shares of common stock, exercisable at the price per share of the Registrant’s next equity financing, for every one dollar ($1.00) of original principal amount of June 2016 Notes.

 

Pursuant to the terms of the Security Agreement entered into by and between the Registrant and the Investors (the “Security Agreement”), the June 2016 Notes are secured by all of the assets of the Registrant, including, without limitation, all tangible and intangible assets (collectively, the “Assets”). Pursuant to the terms of the Intercreditor & Collateral Agent Agreement entered into by and between the Registrant and the Investors (the “Intercreditor Agreement”), the Investors received a security interest (the “Security Interest”) in the Assets of the Registrant that is junior, or subordinated, to the senior security interest of Novus Capital Group, LLC, a Delaware limited liability company (“Novus”), the Registrant’s senior secured lender.

 

The Security Interest in the Assets of the Registrant will be evidenced by the filing of a financing statement on Form UCC-1 with the California Secretary of State and the filing of the IP Security Agreement, attached herewith, with the United States Patent & Trademark Office.

 

Pursuant to a Pledge Agreement, by and between the Investors and Kevin Maloney and Gregory Hrncir, the June 2016 Notes are secured by a pledge of 100% of the common shares, options and warrants held by Messrs. Maloney and Hrncir, our chief executive officer and chief strategy officer, respectively. The pledge of Messrs. Maloney and Hrncir consists, on a collective basis, of (i) 318,138 shares of common stock, (ii) stock options to purchase an aggregate of 2,290,700 shares of common stock under the Registrant’s 2014 equity incentive plan (2,057,362 shares of which are vested, and 233,338 shares of which are subject to satisfaction of vesting conditions), and (iii) warrants to purchase an aggregate of 1,000,000 shares of common stock (fully vested),
