For value received, Cerebain Biotech Corp., a Nevada corporation (the “Company”), promises to pay to Brad Vroom,an individual, or his assigns (the “Holder”) the principal sum of Two Million Four-Hundred Sixty Thousand One Hundred Twelve Dollars ($2,460,112). The principal hereof and any unpaid accrued interest thereon shall be due and payable on or before 5:00 p.m., Pacific Standard Time, on January 24, 2019 (the “Maturity Date”) (unless such payment date is accelerated as provided in Section 5 hereof). Payment of all amounts due hereunder shall be made at the address of the Holder provided for in Section 6 hereof. Interest shall accrue on the outstanding principal amount beginning on February 1, 2017, at the rate of five percent (5%) per annum, compounded annually based on a 365-day year and shall continue on the outstanding principal until paid in full. 

 

1. HISTORY OF THE NOTE. This Note is an amendment and consolidation of the following (collectively, the “Original Notes”);

 

a. The Amended and Consolidated Convertible Promissory Note entered into by and between the Company and the Holder on or about November 22, 2016, for $2,410,112;

 

With the execution of this Note the Company and the Holder acknowledge and agree that the Original Note is void and unenforceable. With the execution of this Note, the Holder is loaning the Company an additional $50,000, which brings the total principal due under this Note to $2,460,112 when combined with the principal amount due under the Original Note. The Company and Holder hereby acknowledge that as of December 31, 2016, approximately Ninety-Three Thousand Dollars ($93,000) interest has accrued on the Original Note and is owed to the Holder. 

 

2. PREPAYMENT. The Company may at any time, upon thirty (30) days written notice (each a “Prepayment Notice”), prepay all or any part of the principal balance of this Note, provided that concurrently with each such prepayment the Company shall pay accrued interest on the principal, if any, prepaid to the date of such prepayment. Any Prepayment Notice must contain the amount of principal and interest to be prepaid by the Company. The end of the thirty-day period following a Prepayment Notice shall be referred to as a “Prepayment Date.” In the event that the Company sends a Prepayment Notice to Holder, Holder may elect prior to the Prepayment Date to convert into common stock of the Company pursuant to Section 3 hereof, all or part of the amount of principal and interest to be repaid under the Prepayment Notice instead of receiving such prepayment.

 

3. CONVERSION. The Holder of this Note is en-titled, at its option and subject to the other terms set forth herein, at any time beginning on the date hereof, and in whole or in part, to convert the outstanding principal amount of this Note, or any portion of the principal amount hereof, --and any accrued interest, into shares of the com-mon stock of the Company. Any amounts the Holder elects to convert will be converted into common stock at a rate of $0.15 per share. Any conversion shall be effectuated by giving a written notice (“Notice of Conversion”) to the Company on the date of conversion, stating therein the amount of principal and accrued interest due to Holder under this Note being converted.

Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Holder may not convert any outstanding amounts due under this Note if at the time of such conversion the amount of common stock issued for the conversion, when added to other shares of Company common stock owned by the Holder or which can be acquired by Holder upon exercise or conversion of any other instrument, would cause the Holder to own more than nine and nine-tenths percent (9.9%) of the Company’s outstanding common stock. The restriction described in this paragraph may be revoked upon sixty-one (61) days prior notice from Holder to the Company. 

 

4. CONVERSION PRICE ADJUSTMENTS. In the event the Company should at any time after the date hereof do either of the following: i) fix a record date for the effectuation of a split or subdivision of the outstanding common stock of the Company, or ii) grant the holders of the Company’s common stock a dividend or other distribution payable in additional shares of common stock or other securities or rights convertible into additional shares of common stock without the payment of any consideration by such holder for the additional shares of common stock (a “Stock Adjustment”), then, as of the record date (or the date of the Stock Adjustment if no record date is fixed), the conversion price of this Note shall be appropriately adjusted so that the number of shares of common stock issuable upon conversion of this Note is adjusted in proportion to such change in the number of outstanding shares in order to insure such Stock Adjustment does not decrease the conversion value of this Note. 

 

5. PIGGYBACK REGISTRATION RIGHTS. The Company hereby represents and warrants that if the Company at any time proposes to register any of its securities under the Act, including under an S-1 Registration Statement or otherwise, it will at such time give written notice to the Purchaser of its intention so to do. Upon the written request of Purchaser given within ten (10) days after receipt of any such notice, the Company will use its best efforts to cause shares of its common stock underlying the conversion of this Note to be registered under the Act (with the securities which the Company at the time propose to register). All expenses incurred by the Company in complying with this Section, including without limitation all registration and filing fees, listing fees, printing expenses, fees and disbursements of all independent accountants, or counsel for the Company and the expense of any special audits incident to or required by any such registration and the expenses of complying with the securities or blue sky laws of any jurisdiction shall be paid by the Company.

 

6. DEFAULT. The occurrence of any one of the following events shall constitute an Event of Default:

 

(a) The non-payment, when due, of any principal or interest pursuant to this Note;

 

(b) The material breach of any representation or warranty in this Note. In the event the Holder becomes aware of a breach of this Section 5(b), then provided such breach is capable of being cured by Company, the Holder shall notify the Company in writing of such breach and the Company shall have thirty (30) business days after notice to cure such breach;

 

(c) The breach of any covenant or undertaking, not otherwise provided for in this Section 5;

 

(d) The commencement by the Company of any voluntary proceeding under any bankruptcy, reorganization, arrangement, insolvency, readjustment of debt, receivership, dissolution, or liquidation law or statute of any jurisdiction, whether now or hereafter in effect; or the adjudication of the Company as insolvent or bankrupt by a decree of a court of competent jurisdiction; or the petition or application by the Company for, acquiescence in, or consent by the Company to, the appointment of any receiver or trustee for the Company or for all or a substantial part of the property of the Company; or the assignment by the Company for the benefit of creditors; or the written admission of the Company of its inability to pay its debts as they mature; or

 

(e) The commencement against the Company of any proceeding relating to the Company under any bankruptcy, reorganization, arrangement, insolvency, adjustment of debt, receivership, dissolution or liquidation law or statute of any jurisdiction, whether now or hereafter in effect, provided, however, that the commencement of such a proceeding shall not constitute an Event of Default unless the Company consents to the same or admits in writing the material allegations of same, or said proceeding shall remain undismissed for 20 days; or the issuance of any order, judgment or decree for the appointment of a receiver or trustee for the Company or for all or a substantial part of the property of the Company, which order, judgment or decree remains undismissed for 20 days; or a warrant of attachment, execution, or similar process shall be issued against any substantial part of the property of the Company.

Upon the occurrence of any Default or Event of Default, the Holder, may, by written notice to the Company, declare all or any portion of the unpaid principal amount due to Holder, together with all accrued interest thereon, immediately due and payable, in which event it shall immediately be and become due and payable, provided that upon the occurrence of an Event of Default as set forth in paragraph (d) or paragraph (e) hereof, all or any portion of the unpaid principal amount due to Holder, together with all accrued interest thereon, shall immediately become due and payable without any such notice. In addition, in the event of default, the company shall convey and assign to the Holder U.S. Patent Application No. 13/849,014, derived from Patent Applications No. 12/361,808 and No. 13/309,468, and its foreign counterparts in Europe and Japan, as described in the Patent License Agreement entered into by the Company on June 10, 2010.
