1.01 Entry into a Material Definitive Agreement.
On
November 28, 2016, VPR Brands, LP (the “Company”) entered into a Securities Purchase Agreement (the “SPA”)
with DiamondRock, LLC, an unaffiliated third party (“DiamondRock”), pursuant to which the Company sold to Diamond
Rock a $500,000 convertible promissory note (the “Note”) for a purchase price of $475,000, reflecting an original
issue discount of $25,000. The transactions under the SPA closed on November 29, 2016, and the Note was issued on that date.
The
Note permits the Company to make additional borrowings under the Note. On November 29, 2016, DiamondRock advanced the first tranche
to the Company in the amount of $71,250, which reflected the first borrowing in the amount of $75,000, less the prorated portion
of the original issue discount.
Amounts
advanced under the Note bear interest at the rate of 8% per year, and the maturity date for each tranche is 12 months from the
funding of the applicable tranche. The Company may prepay any amount outstanding under the Note prior to the actual maturity date
for a 35% premium (thus paying 135% of the amount owed for that particular maturity).
DiamondRock
has the right to convert the outstanding and unpaid principal amount and accrued and unpaid interest of the respective tranche
of the Note into shares of common stock of the Company, subject to the limitation that DiamondRock may not complete a conversion
if doing so would cause DiamondRock to own in excess of 4.99% of the Company’s outstanding shares of common stock, provided
that DiamondRock may waive that limitation and increase the ownership cap to up to 9.99%. The conversion price for any conversion
under the Note is equal to the lesser of (i) $0.50 and (ii) 65% of the volume weighted average trading price of the Company’s
common over the 7 trading days ending on the last complete trading day prior to the date of the conversion. In addition, in the
event that the Company enters into certain transactions with other parties that provide for a conversion price at a larger discount
(than 35%) to the trading price of the Company’s common stock, or provides for a longer look-back period, then the conversion
price and look-back period under the Note will be adjusted to be such lower conversion price and longer look-back period, as applicable.
If
at any time while the Note is outstanding, the Company enters into a transaction structured in accordance with, based upon, or
related or pursuant to, in whole or in part, Section 3(a)(10) of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (covering certain exchange
transactions), then a liquidated damages charge of 25% of the outstanding principal balance of the Note at that time will be assessed
and will become immediately due and payable to DiamondRock, either in the form of cash payment or as an addition to the balance
of the Note, as determined by mutual agreement of the Company and DiamondRock.
The
Note also contains a right of first refusal such that, if at any time while the Note is outstanding, the Company has a bona fide
offer of capital or financing from any 3rd party that the Company intends to act upon, then the Company must first offer such
opportunity to DiamondRock to provide such capital or financing on the same terms.
The
SPA and the Note contain customary representations, warranties and covenants for transactions of this type. The SPA is attached
hereto as Exhibit 10.1 hereto and the Note is attached hereto as Exhibit 10.2 hereto, and the descriptions of the SPA and the
Note as set forth above are qualified in their entirety by reference to such Exhibits.

The

of the Company’s common units (“Common Units”) by the Company to Mr. Frija at a price of $0.01 per Share.

No
additional sales have been completed under the Frija SPA and thus the Frija Termination Agreement operated to terminate the Company’s
and Mr. Frija’s rights and obligations with respect to the remaining 20,000,000 Common Units available for sale under the
Frija SPA.
In
connection with the Frija SPA, the Company named Kevin Frija chief executive officer and chairman of the Board of Directors of
the Company and as a manager of the Company’s general partner, Soleil Capital Management LLC (the “General Partner”).
Contemporaneous
with Mr. Frija’s appointment as Chief Executive Officer and Chairman of the Board of Directors on June 5
th
, 2015,
the Company’s prior Chief Executive Officer, Mr. Jon Pan. resigned from his position as Chief Executive Officer of the Company.

and Mr. Pan entered into a Share Purchase Agreement on June 1, 2015 wherein the Company agreed to grant Mr. Pan the right to purchase
10,000,000 Common Units, at a price of $0.01 per Common Unit as disclosed in the Company’s Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q
filed on August 19, 2015 (the “Pan SPA”). Mr. Pan currently continues to serve as a consultant to the Company
On
November 28, 2016, the Company and Mr. Pan entered into a Termination Agreement (the “Pan Termination Agreement”),
pursuant to which the Company and Mr. Pan terminated, to the extent not already completed, the rights and obligations of the parties
under Section 1 and Section 2 of the Pan SPA.
The
Pan Termination Agreement operated to terminate, to the extent not already completed, all of the options, rights and obligations
of the parties under Section 1 and Section 2 of the Pan SPA, which sections provided for the sale of up to 10,000,000 Common Units
by the Company to Mr. Pan at a price of $0.01 per Common Unit. Through November 28, 2016, no Common Units had been sold to Mr.
Pan, and thus the Pan Termination Agreement operated to terminate the Company’s and Mr. Pan’s rights and obligations
with respect to all 10,000,000 Common Units available for sale under the Pan SPA.
To
the extent not terminated by the Frija Termination Agreement and the Pan Termination Agreement, the Frija SPA and the Pan SPA,
respectively, remain in full force and effect.

pursuant to either the Frija Termination Agreement or the Pan Termination Agreement.
