$150,000.00

 

Principal Amount

 

1.          Principal and Interest; Prepayment. Rayton Solar, Inc. (the “Company”), a Delaware corporation, for value received, hereby promises to pay to ReGen America Inc (the “Holder”), on June 12, 2020 (the “Maturity Date”), the principal sum of One Hundred and Fifty Thousand Dollars ($150,000.00) (the “Principal Amount”), together with accrued interest thereon. Interest shall accrue on the Principal Amount at a fixed, simple interest rate of three and one quarter percent (3.25%) per annum. Upon the occurrence of a Company Event of Default (as defined below), and so long as such Company Event of Default shall continue, the entire balance of principal, together will all accrued but unpaid interest thereon, shall bear interest at the simple interest rate of six percent (6%) per annum (the “Default Rate”). Interest shall be computed on the basis of a year of 360 days for the actual number of days elapsed. All unpaid and accrued interest shall be due and payable on the Maturity Date, in arrears. Payments of principal and the interest on this Note shall be made in lawful money of the United States of America at the principal office or address of Holder or by mail to the registered address of the Holder of this Note. No payment of interest shall be required to the extent that such principal is or has been converted into the Conversion Shares (as defined herein) pursuant to the terms hereof. All agreements between the Company, as borrower, and the Holder, as lender, are expressly limited so that, in no contingency or event whatsoever, shall the amount paid or agreed to be paid to Holder for the use, forbearance, or detention of the indebtedness evidenced by this Note exceed the maximum amount permissible under applicable law. If, from any circumstance, the Holder should ever receive as interest an amount that would exceed the highest lawful rate, such amount as would be excessive interest shall be applied to the reduction of the Principal Amount owing under this Note, and not to the payment of interest. Without any prior written notice to the Holder, the Company may prepay all or any part of this note at any time and without penalty, together with accrued interest on the Principal Amount so prepaid. The Company acknowledges and agrees that any prepayment shall be applied first to the accrued and unpaid interest under this Note and second, to principal.

2.          Other Rights Upon Maturity. All of the Company’s indebtedness represented by this Note shall be due on demand on the Maturity Date. Until the Holder provides the Company with demand for payment and the Company fails to pay the amounts due hereunder, no Company Event of Default shall be deemed to have occurred.

 

3.          Conversion Rights. The Holder shall have conversion rights as follows:

 

(a)          Conversion. The entire unpaid and outstanding Principal Amount and any accrued interest thereon under this Note shall be convertible at the option of the Holder, into shares of common stock of the Company (such shares, the “Conversion Shares”) in accordance with the terms and conditions of this Section 3. For purposes of this Section 3, the Principal Amount of the Note and any accrued interest thereon shall be convertible, at the option of the Holder, into Conversion Shares at the Conversion Price (as defined below) upon the occurrence of one of the following “Trigger Events”:

 

(i)          the consummation of an investment in the Company by an institutional investor (e.g. hedge fund, venture capital fund) or corporate-strategic investor through a single transaction or related series of transactions involving the same investor or investor Affiliates resulting in an aggregate amount of no less than Five Hundred Thousand Dollars ($500,000.00); or

 

(ii)         the consummation of a reorganization, merger or consolidation resulting in a change in ownership of no less than fifty percent (50%) of the then-outstanding shares of common stock of the Company, or a sale or other disposition of all or substantially all of the assets of the Company; or

 

(iii)        the date that is five years (5) subsequent to the Note Effective Date.

 

For purposes of this Note, the “Conversion Price” shall be equal to the quotient of the Company’s pre-money valuation of twenty million dollars ($20,000,000.00) divided by the aggregate number of shares of the Company’s common stock as of the date of the Conversion Trigger Event.

For purposes of this Agreement the term:

 

(i)          "Affiliate" of any person or entity shall mean any person that, directly or indirectly, Controls, is under common Control with or is Controlled by, that person or entity; and

 

(ii)         “Control” and any derivative of it shall mean the possession, directly or indirectly, of the power to direct or cause the direction of the management and policies of the person or entity in question.

 

Within five (5) days of the occurrence of a Conversion Trigger Event, the Company shall send the Holder a conversion offer notice (such notice, the “Conversion Offer Notice,” and such conversion offer, the “Conversion Offer”) stating the Conversion Price, the amount of Conversion Shares to be issued to the Holder pursuant to the Note based on the Holder’s acceptance of the applicable Conversion Offer, and the date by which Holder must provide the Company with its written acceptance of the Conversion Offer. The parties hereto understand and agree that in no event shall Holder have less than sixty (60) days from the date of the Company’s transmittal of the Conversion Offer Notice to provide the Company with his/her/its written acceptance of the Company’s Conversion Offer. The Conversion Offer Notice may include any additional documentation that the Company believes is relevant to the Holder’s decision as to whether or not to exercise Holder’s conversion rights, and any other documentation that the Holder may need to execute or complete in connection with a conversion pursuant to this Section 3, including a conversion election form (such documentation, the “Conversion Documentation”). The parties also understand and agree that the Company will have no obligation to accept any partial exercise of conversion rights as set forth in the Conversion Offer, and that in the event that Holder fails to accept the Company’s entire Conversion Offer as set forth in the Company’s initial Conversion Offer Notice, in such event Holder shall lose any further conversion rights to obtain Conversion Shares pursuant to Section 3 of this Note.

 

(b)         Mechanics of Conversion.

 

(i)          In the event that the Holder accepts the Company’s Conversion Offer as provided for in Section 3(a) above, on the conversion date specified in the applicable Conversion Offer Notice (such date, the “Conversion Date”), the Holder shall surrender this Note for cancellation to the Company at the principal business offices of the Company located at 920 Colorado Ave, Santa Monica, CA 90401, or such other place as the Company may direct in writing, accompanied by the Conversion Documentation executed or otherwise completed by the Holder. If, subject to compliance with the provisions of Section 9 below, the Conversion Shares are to be issued in a name or names other than that of the registered holder of this Note, this Note when tendered must bear or be accompanied by proper endorsement or assignment of the Note.

(ii)         As soon as practicable after the Conversion Date, and inany event within ten days thereafter, the Company at its expense (including the payment by it of any applicable issuance taxes) will cause to be issued in the name of and delivered to the Holder hereof, a certificate or certificates representing duly authorized, validly issued, fully paid and non-assessable Conversion Shares to which such Holder shall be entitled upon such exercise or conversion. Such certificate or certificates shall, if required hereunder, bear the legend provided for in Section 12.

 

(iii)        Upon full conversion of the Principal Amount and any accrued interest thereon pursuant to Section 3, the Company shall be forever released from all its obligations and liabilities under this Note.

 

4.          Company’s Events of Default.
