5.6           Severability. If any provision of this Agreement is prohibited by law or otherwise determined to be invalid or unenforceable by a court of competent jurisdiction, the provision that would otherwise be prohibited, invalid or unenforceable shall be deemed amended to apply to the broadest extent that it would be valid and enforceable, and the invalidity or unenforceability of such provision shall not affect the validity of the remaining provisions of this Agreement so long as this Agreement as so modified continues to express, without material change, the original intentions of the parties as to the subject matter hereof and the prohibited nature, invalidity or unenforceability of the provision(s) in question does not substantially impair the respective expectations or reciprocal obligations of the parties or the practical realization of the benefits that would otherwise be conferred upon the parties. The parties will endeavor in good faith negotiations to replace the prohibited, invalid or unenforceable provision(s) with a valid provision(s), the effect of which comes as close as possible to that of the prohibited, invalid or unenforceable provision(s).

CONVERTIBLE PROMISSORY NOTE
 
U.S. $150,000 Dated: April 23, 2014
 
FOR MONIES RECEIVED, Minerco Resources Inc., a Nevada corporation (the “Maker”), hereby promises to pay to LOMA Management Partners LLC. , or its successors and assigns (the “Payee”), at its address at 405 Lexington Avenue, Chrysler Building, 25th Floor, New York City, NY 10174 or to such other address as Payee shall provide in writing to the Maker for such purpose, a principal sum of One Hundred Fifty Thousand Dollars (U.S. $150,000).  The aggregate principal amount outstanding under this Note will be conclusively evidenced by the schedule annexed as Exhibit B hereto (the “Loan Schedule”), up to a maximum principal amount of U.S $150,000.  The entire principal amount hereunder shall be due and payable on November 23, 2014 (the “Maturity Date”), or on such earlier date as such principal amount may earlier become due and payable pursuant to the terms hereof.
 
1. Interest Rate.  Interest shall accrue on the unpaid principal amount of this Convertible Promissory Note (the “Note”) at the rate of eight percent (8%) per annum from the date of the first making of the loan for such principal amount until such unpaid principal amount is paid in full or earlier converted into shares (the “Shares”) of the Maker’s common stock (the “Common Stock”) in accordance with the terms hereof.  Interest hereunder shall be paid on such date as the principal amount under this Note becomes due and payable or is converted in accordance with the terms hereof and shall be computed on the basis of a 360-day year for the actual number of days elapsed.
 
2. Conversion of Principal and Interest.  Subject to the terms and conditions hereof, the Payee, at its sole option, may deliver to the Maker a notice in the form attached hereto as Exhibit A (a “Conversion Notice”) and an updated Loan Schedule, at any time and from time to time after the date hereof and prior to the payment of the principal amount and all accrued interest thereon (the date of the delivery of a Conversion Notice shall be referred to herein as a “Conversion Date”), to convert all or any portion of the outstanding principal amount of this Note plus accrued and unpaid interest thereon, for a number of Shares equal to the quotient obtained by dividing the dollar amount of such outstanding principal amount of this Note plus the accrued and unpaid interest thereon being converted by the Conversion Price (as defined in Section 15).  Conversions hereunder shall have the effect of lowering the outstanding principal amount of this Note plus all accrued and unpaid interest thereunder in an amount equal to the applicable conversion, which shall be evidenced by entries set forth in the Conversion Notice and the Loan Schedule.
 
3. Certain Conversion Limitations.  The Payee may not convert an outstanding principal amount of this Note or accrued and unpaid interest thereon to the extent such conversion would result in the Payee, together with any affiliate thereof, beneficially owning (as determined in accordance with Section 13(d) of the Exchange Act (as defined in Section 15) and the rules promulgated thereunder) in excess of 9.999% of the then issued and outstanding shares of Common Stock.  Since the Payee will not be obligated to report to the Maker 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 beneficial ownership in excess of 9.999% of the then outstanding shares of Common Stock (inclusive of any other shares which may be beneficially owned by the Payee or an affiliate thereof), the Payee shall have the authority and obligation to determine whether and the extent to which the restriction contained in this Section will limit any particular conversion hereunder.  The Payee may waive the provisions of this Section upon not less than 75 days prior notice to the Maker.
 
4. Deliveries.   Not later than five (5) Trading Days (as defined in Section 15) after any Conversion Date, the Maker will deliver to the Payee (i) a certificate or certificates representing the number of Shares being acquired upon the conversion of the principal amount of this Note and any interest accrued thereunder being converted pursuant to the Conversion Notice (subject to the limitations set forth in Section 3 hereof), and (ii) an endorsement by the Maker of the Loan Schedule acknowledging the remaining outstanding principal amount of this Note plus all accrued and unpaid interest thereon not converted (an “Endorsement”).  The Maker’s delivery to the Payee of stocks certificates in accordance clause (i) above shall be Maker’s conclusive endorsement of the remaining outstanding principal amount of this Note plus all accrued and unpaid interest thereon not converted as set forth in the Loan Schedule.
 
5. Prepayment Right. The Maker shall have the right to prepay all or a portion of the outstanding principal amount of this Note plus all accrued and unpaid interest thereon.
 
 
1

 
6. No Adjustments.  If the Maker, at any time while any portion of the principal amount due under this Note is outstanding, (a) shall pay a stock dividend or otherwise make a distribution or distributions on shares of its Common Stock or any other equity or equity equivalent securities payable in shares of Common Stock, (b) subdivide outstanding shares of Common Stock into a larger number of shares, (c) combine (including by way of reverse stock split) outstanding shares of Common Stock into a smaller number of shares, or (d) issue by reclassification of shares of the Common Stock any shares of capital stock of the Maker, then the Conversion Price (as defined in Section 15) shall not be adjusted.
