PROMISSORY NOTE

 

$2,500,000.00 As of October 28, 2015
  Maroussi, Greece

 

 

Whereas PYXIS TANKERS INC., a Marshall Islands corporation (“Maker”), issued a promissory note as of April 23, 2015 (the “Original Note”) in the principal sum of $625,000.00 to the order of MARITIME INVESTORS CORP., a Marshall Islands corporation (“Payee”), and Maker and Payee desire to replace the Original Note with this Promissory Note made as of October 28, 2015 (this “Note”); and

 

Whereas pursuant to the Agreement and Plan of Merger by and among Maker, Maritime Technologies Corp., LookSmart Ltd. and LookSmart Group, Inc., dated April 23, 2015, as amended on September 22, 2015, Payee has elected to receive this Note in lieu of $1,875,000 in the form of Maker’s shares and this Note shall combine with and replace the Original Note.

 

FOR VALUE RECEIVED, Maker hereby promises to pay to the order of Payee the principal sum of Two Million Five Hundred Thousand Dollars and No Cents ($2,500,000.00) in lawful money of the United States of America, together with interest on the unpaid principal balance of this Note, on the terms and conditions described below.

 

1.             Principal. The principal balance of this Note shall be repayable on January 15, 2017.

 

2.             Interest; Conversion.

 

(a)       Interest shall accrue on any unpaid principal at a rate of 2.75% per annum on a daily basis from the date hereof until paid in full or converted as provided in this Note. Interest shall be calculated on the basis of a 365-day year and payable quarterly in arrears in cash or additional shares of Maker as provided in this Note.

 

(b)       From time to time, subject to the provisions hereof, Maker shall have the right, at its option, at any time to convert all, or a portion, in multiples of $1,000, of the then accrued interest on this Note into that number of fully paid and non-assessable shares of the Maker’s common stock, par value $0.001 per share (the “Common Stock”), as said shares shall be constituted on the date of conversion, obtained by dividing the portion of the then outstanding interest due to be converted under this Note by the five-day volume weighted average closing price per share of the Common Stock over the five (5)-day period ending on the day prior to the date of issuance of the Common Stock. The conversion rights pursuant to this Section shall be exercisable only as to whole shares, and in no event shall Maker be required to issue fractional shares. If the calculation of the number of shares of the Common Stock to be received by way of conversion would result in the issuance of fractional shares, then the number of shares of the Common Stock that would otherwise be issuable upon conversion shall be rounded up to the nearest whole number of shares.

 

 

 

 

(c)        In case of any reclassification or reorganization of the outstanding Common Stock, or in the case of any merger or consolidation of Maker with or into another corporation (other than a consolidation or merger in which Maker is the continuing corporation and that does not result in any reclassification or reorganization of the outstanding shares of Common Stock), or in the case of any sale or conveyance to another corporation or entity in connection with which Maker is dissolved, Maker or its successor shall thereafter have the right to issue in lieu of the shares of Common Stock immediately theretofore issuable upon the conversion of interest on this Note, the kind and amount of shares of stock and other securities or property (including cash) receivable upon such reclassification, reorganization, merger or consolidation following any such sale or transfer, that Payee would have received if Maker had converted any accrued interest under this Note immediately prior to such event. The provisions of this Section shall similarly apply to successive reclassifications, reorganizations, mergers or consolidations, sales or transfers.

 

3.             Prepayment; Application of Payments. Maker may prepay all or apportion of the outstanding amounts due under this Note at any time. All payments shall be applied first to payment in full of any costs incurred in the collection of any sum due under this Note, including (without limitation) reasonable attorneys’ fees, then to the payment in full of any late charges and accrued and unpaid interest and finally to the reduction of the unpaid principal balance of this Note.

 

4.             Events of Default. The following shall constitute Events of Default:

 

(a)        Failure to Make Required Payments. Failure by Maker to to make, on or before the due date (at maturity, by acceleration or otherwise), in the manner required, any payment of principal, interest or any other sums due under this Note within five (5) business days following the date when due.

 

(b)       Voluntary Bankruptcy, Etc. The commencement by Maker of a voluntary case under the Federal Bankruptcy Code, as now constituted or hereafter amended, or any other applicable federal or state bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization, rehabilitation or other similar law, or the consent by it to the appointment of or taking possession by a receiver, liquidator, assignee, trustee, custodian, sequestrator (or other similar official) of Maker or for any substantial part of its property, or the making by it of any assignment for the benefit of creditors, or the failure of Maker generally to pay its debts as such debts become due, or the taking of corporate action by Maker in furtherance of any of the foregoing.

 

(c)       Involuntary Bankruptcy, Etc. The entry of a decree or order for relief by a court having jurisdiction in the premises in respect of Maker in an involuntary case under the Federal Bankruptcy Code, as now or hereafter constituted, or any other applicable federal or state bankruptcy, insolvency or other similar law, or appointing a receiver, liquidator, assignee, custodian, trustee, sequestrator (or similar official) of Maker or for any substantial part of its property, or ordering the winding-up or liquidation of its affairs, and the continuance of any such decree or order unstayed and in effect for a period of 60 consecutive days.
